The Bucks' opponent in Game 2 of the regular season is the Washington Wizards.

On October 30, the Bucks will host the Wizards at home.

Although Thompson, Butler and Green are missing all of a sudden, the Wizards are still recognized as one of the strongest teams in the league.

Before the start of the new season, the Wizards are still firmly in first place in the championship handicap given by the bookmakers, but this time the Cavaliers are extremely close to the second, not as big as last year.

Of course, this is the general opinion of the outside media.

As the former head coach of the Wizards, Wang Xiao feels that the current Wizards team and the previous Wizards are two completely different teams, and the latter cannot be compared with the former at all.

The Wizards during the Wang Xiao period focused on small-ball tactics, and the core of their tactics was the three-point deterrent brought by Curry and Thompson's double shots.

As long as these two players are on the field, then the opponent will not dare to casually cover the defense, and can only implement one-on-one single defense tactics in a regular manner, such as this, George and Leonard and other players can freely play their personal ability.

But there is no way to do it, even if Wang Xiao is still in the Wizards team, he will be in a dilemma.

There are so many salaries for a team, Curry and George are all contract extensions with the highest salary, and what can the team do in the face of the expiration of the player's rookie contract?

Leonard and Thompson can only choose one, and it is difficult to choose Wang Xiao.

Thompson is a versatile player who can adapt to any system and any tactic.

Leonard, the future superstar, is the best defensive small forward in history, and in the 2019 playoffs, he also showed no less than James Durant's super scoring ability.

Will Thompson, who will contribute more to the team, or Leonard, one of the best players in the league in the future? How do you choose this thing?

The Wizards chose the latter, and the top superstars could bring significantly more benefits to the team, but the result of this was to abandon Thompson, who was more suitable for the team, and to cheapen Wang Xiao's Bucks, not to mention, and further decline the overall strength of the team.

In the face of such a Wizards team, Wang Xiao's strategy is very simple, press Curry!

As the only stable scoring point outside the three-point line for the Wizards, as long as Curry is dumb, the Wizards are equivalent to no three-point firepower.

Leonard's three points are not a threat at all in Wang Xiao's opinion, and although George's three points are better than Leonard, they are just ordinary level, and they are much worse than the lethality under the basket.

Wang Xiao would rather them shoot three-pointers from the outside than let them go inside to cause damage.

……

When the game started, Curry held the ball for half the court, and was stunned to find that it was Thompson standing in front of him.

"Why are you defending me?"

Curry and Thompson have the best relationship, even if Thompson goes to the Bucks, Curry has no scruples and asks directly.

Thompson shrugged when he heard this, "No, the coach arranged it." ”

"Coach?" Curry couldn't help but roll his eyes.

It's so ruthless, it's so aimed at yourself!

Thompson is 2.01 meters tall, in addition to speed, height, strength, arm span, bounce and other aspects are all over Curry, and more importantly, as a teammate, Thompson can be said to know Curry well, and he is naturally at home when defending.

Against Thompson, Curry may be able to use his speed to break through to the basket, but if he wants to shoot three points from the outside, it is basically impossible without the assistance of his teammates to block and dismantle!

Without hesitation, Curry passed the ball directly to George, who was facing Bucks forward Chris. Middleton.

After receiving the ball, George found that Middleton's position was a little behind, so he didn't hesitate to pull out a three-point shot.

In fact, Middleton strictly followed Wang Xiao's strategy of preventing breakouts and not shooting, and only stepped forward to interfere when George jumped.

Middleton didn't have a successful distraction from the back of the position, but George's pull-up three-pointer didn't hit either.

Switching between attack and defense, Oladipo, who played as a guest point guard in the new season, controlled the ball past half court and then passed the ball directly to Antetokounmpo.

Antetokounmpo, who has managed to gain weight, will be the main point of attack for the Bucks this season, even if he is standing in front of the best defensive player Kawai. Leonard is no exception.

Holding the ball against Leonard, Brother Alphabet was not nervous at all, only a little excitement.

Last season, in four games in the regular season and five games in the playoffs, Antetokounmpo was directly opposite Leonard.

In 9 games, Leonard averaged 22 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 2.7 steals per game.

Brother Alphabet had 14.5 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 turnovers, shooting just over 40%.

In the face of the league's best defensive player, known as the strongest defender in the front line, Brother Alphabet was severely educated and almost beaten out of the psychological shadow.

But this season is different!

Brother Alphabet directly chose to force a breakthrough, and his speed was fast, but Leonard judged correctly and stopped him in the route of the breakthrough.

When the two physically confronted, Leonard was obviously stunned, and looked at Brother Alphabet in some astonishment.

"This guy's strength has increased so much in just a few months?"

The moment he made contact with Brother Alphabet, Leonard had a feeling of confrontation with James in a trance.

That kind of domineering power seems to run over itself!

But it's clearly not James in front of you! It's a rookie who was casually abused by himself last season.

Taking advantage of the moment when Leonard was knocked to a stiff body, Brother Alphabet took advantage of the situation to pass him, and then immediately picked up speed.

The advantage of leg length was brought to full play at this moment, and it only took two steps for Brother Alphabet to rush to the basket, so fast that Gobert didn't even react.

Jumping up with both legs, Brother Alphabet smashed the basketball into the basket with one arm.

"Boom ——!"

The tremendous force made the entire hoop shake violently.

"Giannis Antetokounmpo!"

The entire Bucks' home court was boiling in an instant!

Single-handedly Leonard and hearty violent dunks made the audience fascinated, and the new season's alphabet brother seemed extremely violent, and such a pure violent aesthetic is the charm of the NBA!

"This guy!"

Leonard looked back at his brother, while thinking back to how he felt during the brief confrontation just now.

Although it was only a short round of confrontation, Leonard understood that the danger level of this guy in front of him was probably about to be raised to the level of James and Durant.

The coach is really a coach...... Actually taught another monster!

As the so-called trick is eaten all over the world, Antetokounmpo is far from being comparable with James, Durant and others in other aspects, but just by breaking through with the ball, Antetokounmpo has reached the top level of the league, relying on his unique physical talent, and even surpassed the current level of the league.
