The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

In the first quarter of the game, the Bucks and the Wizards were evenly divided.

When Curry was strictly guarded, the Wizards' main offensive position was handed over to George and Leonard.

Although Leonard lamented that Wang Xiao had cultivated another monster, in fact he was also one of the monsters cultivated by Wang Xiao.

Even after Antetokounmpo has successfully gained weight, the two are not at a disadvantage against Leonard, and they are basically at the level of mutual explosion.

Middleton, who was facing George, was in a situation of being fully suppressed. The defensive end could not restrict George at all, and at the same time, the offensive end was also restrained by George's defense.

At this time, the advantage of lineup depth is reflected.

The Bucks still have Oladipo and Thompson on the field, and the Wizards have no players who can score independently except for Curry and George Leonard.

In the past, the Wizards used the depth of their lineup to bully others, but this season, Feng Shui took turns, and it was the Wizards' turn to be bullied by the depth of the lineup!

After the first quarter, in the second quarter, Wang Xiao let Oladipo stay on the court, while Korver joined Oladipo on the stage.

Oladipo has also made great progress in the new season. The nickname of Kumamba is not for nothing. Oladipo has not wasted a bit throughout the offseason. He has been training hard every day, and his strength has also made great progress .

After losing Thompson, the Wizards signed Marco Belinelli with a mid-level contract in the free market, trying to let Belinelli replace Thompson. Unfortunately, Belinelli's outside three-point ability is far from being comparable to Thompson. And on the defensive end, the two are even more heaven and earth.

When Oladipo and Belinelli are facing each other, driving past each other is not much different from passing a stump.

After a few rounds, the Wizards couldn't stand it anymore and had to let George play to mark Oladipo in advance.

But in this way, George's energy and time on the defensive end will inevitably increase, and his physical energy consumption will be correspondingly greater.

In the third quarter, George had to rest, and the Wizards could only rely on Leonard alone for outside defense.

Facing Antetokounmpo, Thompson and Middleton at the same time, Leonard finally realized what it was like when James faced them all these years.

Fortunately, the Wizards and the Cavaliers are fundamentally different.

At the most critical moment, Curry, who had been silent for three quarters, suddenly broke out and hit consecutive three-pointers, which Thompson couldn't stop.

This is the strength of a superstar. The 15-16 season itself was Curry's peak season. In another time and space, without the help of Wang Xiao, Curry could still average 30.1 points, 5.4 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game this season. The team won 73 wins and won the MVP.

Even Thompson, who is most familiar with Curry, cannot completely restrict Curry.

Relying on Curry's consecutive scoring, the Wizards began to gradually recover the point difference.

However, the Bucks are not alone on the outside line. Seeing that Curry can't stop himself from scoring consecutively, Thompson can't sit still. As the Bucks' biggest signing this summer, Thompson holds the highest score in the team. The salary is also recognized as the biggest player of the Bucks. If he doesn't stand up at this time, how can he mess around in the future?

Later, Thompson hit a three-pointer from the outside, then ran off the ball and cut to the basket, received a pass from Antetokounmpo for a layup, and scored five points in a row to help the team stabilize the situation.

In the third quarter, the Wizards failed to tie the score. When the game entered the fourth quarter, the rhythm has been firmly grasped by the Bucks.

The reason is simple, the Big Three on the Wizards are tired.

The gap in the lineup forced Kerr to keep the three of Curry and George Leonard on the court for a long time. After the three quarters, all three players played for close to 30 minutes. To make a contribution, the physical energy consumption is huge.

As a result of excessive physical consumption, the Wizards' offense in the fourth quarter was deadlocked, and the Wizards can also use Thompson and Korver's tactics of pulling space on both sides of the three-pointer to continuously break through the basket with pick-and-rolls. You can also use Jokic's offensive and coping abilities to cut inside to the basket. In terms of tactical flexibility, the Wizards are completely at a disadvantage.

In the end, the Bucks won the game at home, and the scores of the two teams were 110:103.

In the whole game, the highest scorer was Paul George. Facing Middleton's defense, George was very handy in offense, scoring 36 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists.

Leonard scored 28 points. Facing Antetokounmpo, who is taller and stronger than him, his offensive efficiency has not decreased much, and his shooting percentage has always remained at around 48%.

In addition, Curry, who received special care, still scored 24 points, but his shooting percentage was just over 40%.

The Big Three of the Wizards scored 88 points together, accounting for 85% of the team's points, but no other Wizards player scored in double figures, including Gobert, who only scored 6 points.

In contrast, although the Bucks' highest score is only Antetokounmpo's 26 points, 6 of the team scored in double figures.

Thompson 22 points, Oladipo 17 points, Middleton 12 points, Jokic 15 points, Korver 14 points.

With such a big gap, losing is natural.

...

Defeating the Wizards allowed the Bucks to win two consecutive victories at the start of the regular season. At the same time, it also made many people realize that the Bucks in the new season are completely different from last season!

The arrival of Thompson not only improved the Bucks' outside firepower, but also further strengthened the Bucks' outside defensive ability, making the Bucks' lineup more and more perfect.

The Bucks' opponents in the next few games were not particularly strong.

In an away game against the Toronto Raptors on November 1, Thompson made 7 of 11 three-pointers and scored 33 points. The Bucks won the game 118:106.

In an away game against the Philadelphia 76ers on November 2, Antetokounmpo dominated the basket and scored 26 points, 18 rebounds and 7 assists in a quasi-triple double, helping the Bucks to another victory.

On November 4th, the Bucks defeated the New York Knicks 107:99 at home. At this time, only Anthony and Deron were left in the Big Three of the Knicks. The Knicks contributed 14.3 points and 6.6 assists. As of the new season, they only had 13.7 points and 5.4 assists before the match against the Bucks.

With Anthony alone, the Knicks simply can't compete with the Bucks.

In the blink of an eye, the Bucks won five consecutive victories after the start of the regular season, ranking first in the Eastern Conference. Even the Cavaliers and Wizards came in second with 4 wins and 1 loss.
