In the first game, the player who performed the best was Kyle Korver, whom no one expected. He made 6 of 12 shots in the game, including 5 of 11 three-pointers and 4 of 5 free throws, leading the team.

21 points.

This was something no one expected before the game, and for the Eagles, this is undoubtedly a great irony.

When the deal took place at the trade deadline, the vast majority of Hawks fans were very happy. Although Korver is excellent, he is definitely much worse than two young players with great potential. Such a trade pair

It's definitely a huge profit for the Eagles.

But they didn't expect that thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, let alone thirty years, even within three months, Korver would slap them hard on the face.

Potential rookie? A thirty-year-old man tells you that old age is still hotter!

Except for Korver, no one on the Bucks scored more than 20 points, but the others also performed well, especially Antetokounmpo, who made 7 of 12 shots and 6 free throws.

4. With 18 points, 13 rebounds and 7 assists, the Greek monster has already taken shape.

Jokic made 5 of 11 shots in this game and scored 13 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists. He was also a major contributor to the win.

In addition, Middleton also got a lot of shooting opportunities from the outside and scored 15 points.

Among the starting five, Oladipo has the lowest score. There is no way, his outside shooting is not stable, and his breakthrough power is not comparable to Antetokounmpo. In the Eagles' tactical system of mainly defensive breakthroughs.

It's hard to make a difference.

The fans were encouraged by the Bucks' victory in the first game. This group of young players used this game to prove that they are not just silver bullets. They can win in the regular season and can also win in the fierce playoffs.

The players' leadership in talent and Wang Xiao's leadership in coaching make Bucks fans have no doubt about the possibility of the Bucks qualifying in the first round. The predictions given by major sports media also believe that the Bucks will qualify in the first round.

The Bucks will defeat the Hawks with a score of 4:2 or 4:3 and successfully advance to the second round.

…

The second game of the first round of the playoffs between the Bucks and Hawks begins on April 21.

In this game, Budenholzer fulfilled his promise and made targeted arrangements in defensive tactics, successfully limiting the Bucks' offense.

The method he used was to guard against Jokic's support in the middle and Antetokounmpo's breakthrough.

There can only be a total of ten players on the court, five on each side. No matter what kind of defense, it is impossible to be flawless.

Although the Eagles had adjusted their tactics and strengthened their defense against several players who performed well in the last game, they inevitably relaxed in the defense of other players.

Victor Oladipo, this is the defensive target that the Eagles chose to tactically give up.

In the last game, Oladipo was lost throughout the game. He made 2 of 10 shots and felt bad. In the end, he only managed to score 8 points with 4 free throws.

Compared with Antetokounmpo, who is like a god descending from the earth, Oladipo is obviously much easier to deal with.

I have to say that Budenholzer deserves to be the head coach who can win the best coach. His level is really high.

As a time traveler, Wang Xiao knows that Oladipo will be very powerful in the future and an outstanding player, but Oladipo obviously has an upper limit.

Because of his playing style, before Wang Xiao crossed over, Oladipo only averaged more than 20 points per game in the 17-18 season, and then suffered a serious career-threatening injury in the 18-19 season.

Injuries.

Moreover, Oladipo has only played in the playoffs twice. The first time was with the Thunder in the 16-17 season. In four games, he averaged 36 minutes per game, but only scored 10.8 points, and his shooting percentage was a pitiful 34.4%.

Then in the 17-18 season, Oladipo came to the Pacers and became the core of the team. After leading the team to the playoffs with an average of 23.1 points per game, he played seven games against the Cavaliers who were full of injuries.

In that series, Oladipo averaged 22.7 points per game but only shot 41.7% from the field, which is definitely not high.

What’s even more incredible is that in that seven-game series, in the scoring list of players from both teams, James ranked first, Oladipo ranked second, and from second to tenth, only Love ranked first.

A Cavaliers player, the other eight players are all Pacers players and all average more than 10 points per game.

James single-handedly defeated the entire Pacers, earning his reputation as the dominant player in the Eastern Conference and dwarfing Oladipo, the leader of the Pacers.

In Wang Xiao's view, Oladipo is indeed outstanding, but his upper limit is only an All-Star player, and there is a huge gap between him and those MVP-level players.

And this gap was fully reflected in the second game.

…

When the Eagles stepped up their guard against other Bucks members and relaxed their defense against Oladipo, the ball rights naturally became more concentrated in his hands. Oladipo did not show any stage fright, as long as the ball was in his hands.

, he dared to attack.

However, Oladipo's offensive efficiency is not high, at least not compared with Korver and Antetokounmpo in the last game.

Although he frequently hit the basket and performed wonderful shots, he also made many mistakes and blocked shots. This also made the score between the Bucks and the Eagles always very close, and they were even surpassed by the Eagles several times.

And the situation is opened by more than 5 points.

Wang Xiao frowned slightly on the sidelines.

A good woman can't make a meal without rice. As the system stopped updating and the victory points were exhausted, the growth rate of the team's players immediately slowed down.

Whether it is Oladipo, Antetokounmpo, Jokic and others, they all still have the immaturity of rookie players.

Although the Eagles' defense is excellent, it is definitely not monolithic. There are many loopholes to be found. Not to mention Antetokounmpo in his peak period. Even Oladipo in his peak period can easily tear apart with breakthroughs.

Shatter the Eagles' defense.

And Korver also exposed his weaknesses in this game.

As an excellent three-point shooter, why hasn't Korver become an All-Star shooter like Ray Allen and Thompson?

This is because although his shooting in the open position is accurate, when faced with defense, he does not have the offensive ability with the ball and the ability to get rid of defenders through running like Ray Allen and Thompson.

This is just a shooter that fits the position of a role player.

Middleton's situation is similar to that of Korver. Although he is better offensively than Korver, that is a matter for the future. In the absence of sufficient victory value, even Antetokounmpo and Oladipo

The growth of others is limited, let alone him.

…

The game remained stalemate until the end of the fourth quarter, and until one minute before the end of the game, the score difference between the two teams was still within 1 point.

Wang Xiao had already stood up from his seat and walked to the sidelines to direct the players. The same was true for Budenholzer on the other side. He was even more excited than Wang Xiao. After all, he knew very well that he could never bring 0:2 with him.
Chapter completed!
