The Strongest Bishop in the NBA - Chapter 472
Wang Xiao was proud of his love, but there was a slight problem on the court.
Although he has been very cautious and only allowed Embiid to play for about twenty-five minutes in each game, and his back-to-back games will be scheduled to rest, Embiid is still injured.
On January 4, in the Bucks’ away game against the Lakers, Hao Peng once again grabbed offensive rebounds and played a second offense. Embiid’s attempt to block a block failed, but he lost his center of gravity after being dunked and injured his ankle. Absent for nearly half a month.
Wang Xiao was speechless for a while, and his disciples abolished his own team players. How could this make sense?
Hao Peng actually didn’t have any more than actions, and Embiid also took the initiative to come up for confrontation. If you use one word to describe it, it is your own responsibility.
The lack of Embiid has a slight impact on the overall strength of the Bucks, but it does not hinder the overall situation.
But unfortunately, it was not in Fu Wushuang Zhi, misfortunes never come alone.
Only the other day, Durant also followed the injury, and the injury time is longer than Embiid, is expected to cultivate for about a month, will miss nearly 20 games, almost until the All-Star weekend before returning.
The loss of two generals in an instant, the Bucks immediately struggled. Although Wang Xiao responded in a timely manner, he focused on arranging and increasing the ball rights of Antetokounmpo, and established trident attacking tactics around Antetokounmpo, Thompson and Jokic, but still Lost many games.
The Bucks have lost only 4 of 32 games in 16 years, making many people suspect that they will once again break the best record of 73 wins in the regular season created by the Wizards.
In January of 2017, the Bucks lost 6 games in just one month, and the total number of losses reached 10, officially declaring an early failure of the impact record.
Throughout January, the Bucks had a total of 16 games and achieved a record of 10 wins and 6 losses, with a winning rate of 62%.
This winning percentage has been quite amazing. After all, the team lacks Durant, a core player and an important inside player, Embiid, only relying on Antetokounmpo, Thompson and Jokic.
If the Cavaliers don’t have James and the Wizards don’t have Curry, it’s hard to imagine what the record will look like.
Durant was injured, and the biggest beneficiary was Antetokounmpo. In the absence of a strong scoring point, Antetokounmpo carried the offensive burden. The increase in shooting power was accompanied by an increase in his personal data.
Antetokounmpo averaged 31 points, 15 rebounds and 6 assists per game in January. His performance did not lose to the two big brushes of Westbrook and Harden. People were surprised to find that this tall Greek monster seemed to have evolved. He became a monster and entered the league’s fourth season, he was completely unstoppable.
With his outstanding performance in January, Antetokounmpo won the honor of Player of the Month for the first time, and was also among the best in the All-Star voting, second only to James and Durant in the East, and even more votes than Leonard. some.
In this year’s All-Star vote, the Bucks became the well-deserved biggest winner. Durant, Antetokounmpo, Thompson, Jokic and even Embiid are all on the list. Although based on the number of votes, only Durant and Antetokounmpo, but with excellent personal ability and popularity, Thompson and Jokic will also be selected as the All-Star substitutes in all likelihood.
Compared to last year’s All-Star weekend, only one person was selected, and the high probability of being selected four or even five people this year has made Milwaukee fans excited.
As time entered February, the Bucks’ record began to pick up. On February 10th, Durant returned from injury and scored 36 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists in his debut, and his recovery was very good.
The Bucks officially returned to the full lineup.

On February 19th, the All-Star Weekend was held in New Orleans. As expected, the starters for the All-Star Game in the East were Curry, Jeremy Lin, James, Durant and Antetokounmpo. A slight advantage over the Wizards forward Leonard, successfully became the Eastern Conference All-Star starter.
And Thompson and Jokic were not unexpectedly selected as All-Star substitutes, while Embiid regrettably lost due to playing time and personal data.
The All-Star starters in the West are Westbrook, Harden, Jimmy Butler, Anthony Davis and Hao Peng.
Two Lakers players were selected for the main game, allowing people to see the re-emergence of giants.
In fact, the Lakers’ record this season has always been among the best in the Western Conference, ranking only under the Kings and Spurs. They played inextricably with the Clippers for the third position in the Western Conference. It is hard to imagine that this was the bottom of the league last season. team.
All of this is due to Hao Peng and Butler.
Hao Peng currently averages 28.4 points, 16 rebounds, 3 assists and 4.2 blocks per game, dominating the basket.
Butler averaged 22 points, 6 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game, no matter who he met on the front line.
The Lakers originally wanted to directly shift their attention to the summer offseason and introduce a superstar player.
However, the performance of these two players allowed the Lakers to temporarily return their attention to this season, because even with only these two players in the season, the Lakers should be able to make a difference in the playoffs.
There is nothing new in the All-Star Weekend, and it is still the same old thing that has remained unchanged for thousands of years. Most of the audience has long been aesthetically tired. If you don’t want to watch their favorite players play on the court, I am afraid they don’t have much ratings.
…
After the All-Star Weekend, all teams in the league made their final reinforcements.
The Bucks do not need any adjustments to the lineup, the lineup structure is reasonable, the bench depth is excellent, and the only thing that needs attention is the issue of injury.
Embiid’s physical condition is still a hidden danger that Wang Xiao needs to focus on. In the next two months of the regular season, he will more strictly control his game time and rhythm.
In fact, after the All-Star Weekend, the starting players of the Bucks have started scheduled rotations.
The best record in the regular season is no longer possible, and Durant has no chance to compete for the regular season MVP due to his long absence. In this case, the championship is their only pursuit, for this goal , In the regular season, we must start to make adequate preparations.
The team led by Wang Xiao has always had this habit. He doesn’t worry about the ups and downs of the players due to the problem, because the training module can adjust the players’ condition to the best condition at any time.
Throughout February and March, the Bucks’ winning percentage remained at around 70%, which is not very high, but it is enough to firmly hold the lead in the East and even the league, which is enough for the Bucks. Up.
