Chapter 423:

Facing such a situation, Wang Xiao had no choice.
In fact, this can be targeted very early. Wang Xiao deliberately suppressed the playing time of other players and brushed data for Lin Shuhao Curry and others in order to ventilate Jeremy Lin while still serving as the Eastern All-Star coach.
Now Wang Xiao has also been blacklisted because of this matter. Unless he personally promises not to "chaos" things, it is impossible to be the coach of the All-Star Game.
Wang Xiao took note of the account of the All-Star for the time being. He was not a generous person. His disciples were bullied in such a blatant way. It was impossible for nothing to happen. This hatred, it is not too late to report it until the Olympics.
...
The All-Star game ended with a 167-156 victory over the Eastern Forces in the West.
Kevin Durant won the All-Star mvp. In the game, Durant scored 41 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists.
It may be because the rumors of the recent transaction put Durant under pressure. The boos of the Blazers' home football "fan" and the voice of the traitor made him a little irritated and eager to prove himself.
After the All-Star break, the Bucks and Trail Blazers soon issued statements.
The Bucks sent guard Victor Oladipo, striker Chris Middleton and the first two draft picks for the next two years, and got All-Star forward Kevin Durant from the Blazers!
Although the news has been known for a long time, the moment when the transaction was actually concluded, it still caused a lot of repercussions in the league.
Unlike another time and space Durant joined Wang Chaoyong, after this deal was concluded, Durant was not questioned too much. After all, although the Bucks are the first team in the league, there are not many. People think that this is a super strong team, and they don't think the Bucks have the hope of winning this season.
Or it can be said that after the Bucks ushered in Durant, they really had the capital to compete for the championship.
This is fundamentally different from Durant joining the 73rd Warriors on the hardest path.
In addition to the local media in Portland, most media generally believe that if Durant can win the championship under the leadership of Wang Xiao, his historical position will be qualitatively improved, even with the increase in the number of championships, Durant has the chance to surpass James and Bird to become the first small forward in history!
Of course, this is just speculation. The Bucks just got Durant to become a champion. They are not sure of winning the championship. At least in the face of Cavaliers and Wizards, even if they have Durant, there is absolutely no certainty.
Some media evaluated the deal and gave a win-win evaluation.
The Bucks got Durant, the team's upper and lower limits have been greatly improved, and became a hot topic to win the championship.
Although the Trail Blazers lost Durant, they used Durant for two high-quality potential stocks, Oladipo and Middleton, and also received two first-round draft picks, regardless of these two first-round picks. The final ranking of the round is also a bargaining chip, and Oladipo and Middleton have the value and potential of the Bucks in the Bucks.
In recent years, the Blazers have not been as good as one year. No players other than Durant and Aldridge are worth cultivating.
Now getting Oladipo and Middleton at the same time, although it is impossible to rely on the two to return to the championship hot, but it is not difficult to maintain the status of the strong Western team.
...
Durant came to the team to report on February 17, two days after the end of the All-Star weekend.
auzw.com After a series of physical examinations in accordance with the rules, the Bucks held a press conference for Durant.
At the press conference, Durant appeared a little excited, and was outspoken in the interview.
"Joining the Bucks is a new start and a new challenge for me. I think I have embarked on the most difficult path. I left the Trail Blazers for victory, which made me stand on the cliff. It’s on the brink and there is no way back. I have no choice but to win the championship."
Durant is confident about whether he has the confidence to lead the Bucks to win the championship.
"The Bucks are a very good team. They are one of the best teams in the league. I am confident that they will quickly integrate into the team system and contribute to the team. Coach Wang Xiao is in the league. One of the best coaches, I always wanted to work with him, and now I finally got my wish. I believe we can definitely win the championship."
Durant's press conference, as the team coach, of course Wang Xiao also attended.
Reporters will naturally not miss the opportunity to ask Wang Xiao.
"Coach Wang Xiao, what kind of player do you think Durant is?"
Wang Xiao thought for a while and then smiled and replied: "If the game comes to the last moment, my team is one point behind, let me choose one of the nba players to perform the last shot, I will choose Durant ."
"He is a natural scorer, and he reaps his opponent's life like a grim reaper in the game. With him, the Bucks will be even more powerful, and victory will become easier and easier."
Durant listened with delight at the side, but did not expect Wang Xiao to give him such a high evaluation, it was almost heaven!
grim Reaper!
This is Durant's future scoring in the final moments of the finals, and the nickname given to him by James in the face of the winning three-point game after the end of the game is now called by Wang Xiao in advance.
"So do you think the Bucks with Durant can win the championship this season?"
Wang Xiao smiled faintly: "Who knows? Anything like this is possible."
"Do you think the Durant + Thompson + Adetokounmpo combination will have several championships in the future?"
Another reporter asked.
"You're wrong." Wang Xiao shook his head and said: "It's not Durant + Thompson + Adetokounmpo, the Bucks now have Durant + Thompson + Adetokounmpo + Embiid. Plus Jokic’s Big Five combination!"
The Big Five? Who are you blinded to?
The reporter was stunned, and couldn't help vomiting.
Embiid’s reimbursement for the season does not come to an end at all. He has already been reimbursed for two consecutive seasons. Even if he has extraordinary talent, he cannot become a giant in a short time.
As for Jokic, the season has now averaged 16 points, 11 rebounds and 4.2 assists. Although the performance is good, it is a bit too much to be called a giant.
However, the reporter did not raise the bar with Wang Xiao, but asked: "So what do you think of the strength of the Bucks' Big Five? How many championships can we win in the future?"
This time Wang Xiao did not keep a low profile. "I'm confident that the Bucks' Big Five will be no worse than the Wizards at their peak next season. If the team can keep these five at the same time, at least three consecutive championships will start."
