The integrity of the roster has made the Bucks have a very good record in the preseason, with an 8-2 record in 10 games.

Of course, the preseason game will not be on the minds of most people, and in the eyes of many, the Bucks, although they got Thompson, will still not be a match for the Wizards and Cavaliers in the East.

Even if last season's Bucks actually finished fourth in the regular season and reached the second round of the division semifinals, that still doesn't change people's perceptions.

After all, last season, the Bucks didn't have a single player on the whole team who was selected as an All-Star, and now there is only one Thompson, how far can the ceiling of this team be raised?

However, there are also a few loyal fans of Wang Xiao who believe that the Bucks in the new season will definitely surprise people, especially the rookies that Wang Xiao values, Antetokounmpo, Oladipo and Jokic, etc., will definitely make great progress compared to last season.

This is indeed the case.

When Wang Xiao returned to the United States to see Brother Alphabet, he couldn't believe his eyes, in just a few months, Brother Alphabet who listened to his advice to gain weight was already a little scary, and the tendons and flesh had a huge contrast with the original thin bamboo pole-like figure.

With this weight alone, Wang Xiao could fully imagine what a terrifying scene he would be when he sprinted.

Today's Bucks, with Thompson and Korver, two three-point sharpshooters, it is not too easy to pull space for the Bucks.

On October 28, 2015, in the opening game of the regular season, the Bucks played at home against the Nets, and Jeremy Lin, the core of the Nets, thoroughly experienced it.

Before the game, when Jeremy Lin came to greet Wang Xiao, he looked at Antetokounmpo with a frown.

"Coach, your team member seems to be a lap older than when he played the warm-up game in Huaxia, did he not control his weight during the holiday?"

Wang Xiao smiled and said nothing. "You'll know when you're playing."

Seeing Wang Xiao like this, Jeremy Lin secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, and then looked at Antetokounmpo carefully, the fat that was bigger was the fat that did not control his weight, and it was clearly a strong muscle!

Later, Jeremy Lin saw Antetokounmpo's breakthrough in the Circle.

That's a breakthrough, it's clear that a tank has run in from outside the arena!

After a few months of weight gain training, Antetokounmpo has now weighed 105 kilograms, which is not particularly heavy among interior players, but it is definitely not clear, and this is compared to interior players!

Although Antetokounmpo plays at a power forward, his style of play is biased towards guards and swing guards, and looking at the league, in the small forward position, there is only LeBron who is stronger than Antetokounmpo. James is alone!

And even James doesn't have the terrifying height and reach of Antetokounmpo!

In the Nets, there is no player who can defend Brother Alphabet one-on-one, and in the face of Brother Alphabet's breakthrough, he can only help defend and wrap up, but in this way, it is inevitable to let go of the outside line, and Thompson and Korver's big knives have long been hungry and thirsty.

In the first quarter of the game, the Bucks completely pressed the Nets to play, and the two sides played a 32:23, and the Nets trailed by 9 points, and then in the second quarter of the game, Thompson broke out, hitting consecutive three-pointers and mid-range shots, widening the score gap to double digits in one fell swoop.

Jeremy Lin tried his best to drag the team forward, but it was still difficult to stop the decline.

The new season was a failure for the Nets, who have been clamoring to sign several stars with maximum salaries throughout the summer, and have made it clear that they are willing to pay the luxury tax to strengthen the team.

But a summer has passed, and not a single star has been impressed by the olive branch of the Nets owner.

Thompson went to the Bucks, Butler went to the Lakers, and the Green Nets couldn't look down on it.

In the end, the Nets were left to pick up some leftovers in the free agency market and sign Luis on a mid-level contract. Williams boosted his bench firepower and then signed Pacers forward David for three years and $9 million. West.

These players are all very good players, but at the end of the day they are just role players.

The Nets' current stars are only Jeremy Lin and Brooke. López, not enough to see at all.

Speaking of which, the Nets are facing off against Trail Blazers forward Kevin Murphy recently. Durant launched a fierce offense.

They used Jeremy Lin and Lopez as bait in an attempt to attract the league's top small forward.

Durant's contract expires at the end of the season, and after the Trail Blazers lost the Finals several times, Durant has complained more than once about the team's roster problems.

In addition to Aldridge, the Trail Blazers do not have a third star who can get their hands on it, the team lineup is gradually aging, and it is not as good as year after year, and even lost to the Clippers in the Western Conference finals last season, and even lost the opportunity to play in the Finals.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Durant seems to have made up his mind, and there are different opinions about which team he wants to go to.

Some people say that Durant will join the Lakers next season, when Kobe Bryant has just retired, and Durant can form a Lakers duo with Butler.

It was also said that Durant wants to play for his hometown team, so in the middle of the season, the Trail Blazers are likely to trade with the Wizards, and as for the bargaining chip of the trade, it is likely to be one of George and Leonard.

Others say that New York's unique commercial value will attract Durant, who will choose a team between the Knicks and the Nets, who are more likely because they have plenty of salary space.

Whether Durant chooses to stay or leave the Trail Blazers, it will be in the middle of the season and even after the free agency market opens next summer.

And now, the regular season has just begun.

In the opening game, 110-99, the Nets lost to the Bucks without any suspense.

Antetokounmpo scored 26 points, 15 rebounds and 5 assists in his debut in the new season.

The new signing Thompson made five three-pointers and scored 22 points, and his performance was flawless.

After the game, Jeremy Lin was blunt in an interview.

"Coach Wang Xiao has obviously trained another monster, Giannis. Antetokounmpo, he has a talent that is unique in the entire NBA league, and I believe anyone who has watched this game knows that when he rushes up, he is simply unstoppable. ”

The head coach of the Nets also acknowledges this view.

"When the big guy was on the court, I tried everything I could to stop him, but it didn't work, and if I wanted to stop that guy, I had to at least find two centers to block under the basket and not give him a little space to break through."

All in all, Brother Alphabet's debut was perfect.

However, one game does not prove the quality of a player, and there are still 81 games waiting for Antetokounmpo.

And after the Bucks defeated the Nets in the opening game, they immediately ushered in the challenge of a fierce rival!
