724: Don't worry about second brother, worry about Green first (6.3K(1/3)
Giannis Antetokounmpo is a name that Bucks fans love and internet writers love even more.
Of course, under normal circumstances, no conscientious author will repeat his full name throughout a chapter.
This season, the third-year Greek Monster is starting to show his talent.
Averaging 16.8 points, 7.6 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game, a super talent like Jabari Parker, who is famous all over the United States, also has to help this low-ranked Greek.
Why did Giannis Antetokounmpo suddenly break out in his third season?
In addition to his own talent and hard work, Kidd became the head coach of the Bucks.
When Kidd first came to Milwaukee, the Bucks had not yet formed a fighting force. The team lacked training and experience.
Most importantly, there is a lack of star players.
Among the potential rookies, there are only McAway who is at the peak of his career and Brandon Knight who cannot be helped up, and there are no superstars.
Kidd went to his boss to ask for it. The boss said: "If you don't have a superstar, you need two young people. Kidd, see if Parker and Antetokounmpo can be used. If you have the ability, you can turn them into superstars."
What can Kidd do? He can only solve the problem by himself. Who made the Bucks enter the post-Yidi era?
So should we train Parker or the Greeks?
Kidd was puzzled.
But suddenly one day, he realized it.
The Greek with a convoluted name is not accurate in three-pointers, can push the rhythm, has excellent defense, has sharp breakthroughs, and is huge for the same position.
Isn’t this horse riding an enlarged version of me?
So, Kidd told Antetokounmpo: "Boy, I want you to play point guard next season!"
Antetokounmpo laughed at that time, "Aren't you kidding? Me? Playing point guard?"
Who are you? Why should I listen to you? Who are you?
Then Antetokounmpo went home and Googled Kidd's resume to see what the old man was capable of.
Day 2: “Obey Coach!”
In this way, Antetokounmpo learned to read the game, learned to organize offense, and found his position correctly.
Coupled with his body that jumped from 2.06 meters to 2.11 meters, his lengthened wingspan, and explosive muscle growth, he became the hope of all of Milwaukee.
Known as Greek Wayne.
He can dribble, break through, fly and dunk. Sometimes he can crush his opponents just by relying on his talent.
The only difference between him and Wayne seems to be projection and appearance.
In the eyes of Milwaukee fans, Giannis is one of the few players who can compete with Wayne.
With this beauty in hand, Milwaukee's rise is just around the corner!
Although the last time the two sides played against each other, the Trail Blazers beat the Bucks badly.
But it was early in the season after all.
During this time, Antetokounmpo did a lot of things that even a beast couldn't do.
For example, in early November, he scored a career-high 33 points in a single game at the end of the half against the Wizards.
In mid-December, he had 3 rebounds, 3 blocks and 1 steal against the Hawks, breaking the career rebound record.
Against the Lakers in early January, he had 10 rebounds and 10 assists, his first career triple-double.
Antetokounmpo's growth is visible to the naked eye, and the most exaggerated thing is that he seems to be improving with every game.
Therefore, Milwaukee fans are looking forward to Antetokounmpo's confrontation with Wayne today.
At this time, the game had entered the fourth quarter, and Antetokounmpo stood on the free throw line.
The Greek was panting and looking panicked.
Because in the previous round, he had just been dunked by Wayne.
A round ago, Wayne and Turner played a pick-and-roll, forcing the Bucks to use Monroe to defend themselves.
In the end, Wayne naturally broke through Monroe easily and headed for the three-second zone.
But Antetokounmpo did not defend Turner who popped up outside the three-point line after the pick-and-roll, but rushed back to the penalty area to protect the frame!
This season, Antetokounmpo is averaging 1.4 blocks per game, and most people are unable to break through his abnormal defensive height.
Therefore, facing Wayne rushing towards him, he was full of confidence.
Then, the moment Wayne jumped to his feet, the Greek regretted it.
Because of his proud height, wingspan and athletic ability, he has no advantage in front of Wayne!
Just like that, Wayne dunked Antetokounmpo from the front, widening the point difference to 16 points.
If you score a few more goals, the game will basically enter garbage time.
Portland's former player Middleton sighed at the time, "I told you before the game not to think about these fancy things."
You must not listen.
Okay now, have you hit the top five golf balls?
And this buckle is just a microcosm of Wayne's abuse of letters today.
Blocking shots and stealing, Yan Xie Wayne tortured the still young Antetokounmpo to death.
Antetokounmpo was so tortured that he looked at Kidd pitifully: "Didn't I agree that I have become stronger? Why was I tortured the whole time!"
Kidd could only comfort Xie: "Come on, you are the fattest, I believe you can win."
In fact, how could old Kidd be so naive? He knew very well that the current letters could not beat Wayne.
In Kidd's mind, there are two most unsolvable players.
One is Dirk in 2011, and the other is Wayne who defeated Dirk in 2011.
Given Nowitzki's already superb state at that time, Kidd felt that if he hadn't met Wayne, the Mavericks would have won the championship long ago.
Also in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Kidd, as the captain of the Dream Team, was defeated by the Chinese team led by Wayne in Wukesong. It was the most incredible game he had ever experienced.
In Kidd's mind, Wayne is really a buggy character like Jordan.
This kind of BUG-level character cannot be solved by current letters.
But there are some beatings that you have to take in order to grow.
Watching Antetokounmpo being beaten to the point of being autistic, Kidd was very happy~
It would be great if you were in the West. If you get beaten up by Wayne more often, you can grow up faster.
At this time, Giannis Antetokounmpo on the free throw line was filled with everything he had experienced today.
He couldn't imagine how Wayne, who was about the same size as himself, could perform those superb technical moves.
He struggles to even shoot!
Antetokounmpo shook his head, didn't think much more, and prepared to take a free throw.
However, his thoughts were actually confused and his attention was distracted.
Just like that, Antetokounmpo took the first free throw.
Turner, who was under the basket, didn't pay attention to the ball. He only saw the net shaking for a moment, then looked at the score with a confused look on his face, and then at his teammates.
This is crazy
Did you get in or not?
Isn't he another player whose free throws just stick to the net?
Wayne: Be confident and you won’t get rid of it.
After Tony, DeAndre Jordan and Robertson, the league has another free throw genius.
On the second free throw, Antetokounmpo adjusted his strength, and this time the basketball finally hit the basket seriously.
But it only hit the basket, and the basketball eventually bounced out.
Missed two free throws!
Wayne quickly advanced after grabbing the rebound, and Antetokounmpo quickly followed up to defend.
It's embarrassing enough to miss two free throws, but if I get hit on a counterattack, what will Coach Kidd think of me?
He trusts me so much, how can I let him down?
According to the formula of hot-blooded comics, this time the pursuit will be inserted into memories, recalling every bit of Kidd's teachings to Antetokounmpo, which is enough for two episodes.
After reminiscing, Antetokounmpo made a miraculous pursuit and blocked Wayne, and the goal was lost in two episodes.
But the reality is cruel. Although Alphabet worked very hard, it intercepted Wayne in the air.
But Wayne had work on his hands after all. Facing the tight block, Wayne threw the ball high, avoiding the block, and the basketball went into the net.
At the same time, the referee's whistle sounded and the Greek fouled.
