Chapter 465:

Originally like this kind of hopeless rookie, usually only signed a one-year or two-year non-guaranteed basic salary contract, but Wang Xiao, who knew the potential of Van Fleet, gave a standard four-year rookie. The contract includes team options for the next two years.
Although Van Vleet was often hacked by the fans later, he loved to do it himself if he didn't like to pass the ball because he didn't shoot the ball high. Wearing the No. 23 jersey, he considered himself Jordan or something, but as a losing rookie, he can be short In just three years, Van Vleet is outstanding as a starting player on a winning team.
At present, the Bucks do not have a point guard in the lineup. Although Wang Xiao is not planning to arrange another point guard in the starting lineup, he still needs a good offensive ability in the bench lineup and can lead the bench to score points. An excellent point guard.
From this point of view, Van Fleet is absolutely qualified.
...
Wang Xiao's third signing target is Ray Allen, who has not played for two years.
Ray Allen, who left the Celtics that year, joined the Heat, hoping to fill in another championship ring. As a result, the Heat was swept away by the Wizards every year. Finally, James returned to Cleveland and Bosh went to San Antonio.
After Ray Allen's contract expired, he has not signed with any team and has been at home. However, he has not issued a retirement statement and has been in good physical condition.
In another time and space, until November 2016, there were still many teams, including the Warriors, which had 73 regular season wins, persevering in trying to persuade Ray Allen to come back, but in the end Ray Allen chose to return in 2016. August officially announced his retirement, bid farewell to the stadium.
But that was another time and space. Ray Allen, who had already held two championship rings, had a different mentality from now.
And Wang Xiao has also read relevant news reports. Ray Allen said in an interview later that there were many teams looking for him to play before he retired, but no team could guarantee him a fixed playing time.
This is actually not difficult to understand. Ray Allen was born in July 1975 and was 41 years old at the beginning of the regular season of 2016. Whether this age can still adapt to the fierce NBA confrontation, anyone will have doubts.
Wang Xiao had no bottom in his heart, but his system has been upgraded and will return soon, and the corresponding training modules and other functions will also be reopened. With the training bonus of the training module, Wang Xiao will continue to maintain a better understanding of Le Allen. There is some confidence in a good competitive state.
Moreover, the fixed playing time required by Ray Allen is not too much.
In the 13-14 season, Ray Allen averaged only about 25 minutes per game for the Heat, let alone two years later?
Under Wang Xiao’s communication, the team’s general manager personally went to Ray Allen’s residence in Miami to lobby, and Wang Xiao also talked to Ray Allen on the phone before returning to Milwaukee and promised in person that as long as Ray Allen could Maintaining good physical condition will ensure that Ray Allen averages at least 15 minutes of playing time per game in the 16-17 season.
The sincerity of the Bucks and the willingness to get a second championship ring allowed Ray Allen to agree to this request.
So the third player of the Bucks was finalized.
As a result, the Bucks' roster has reached 11 people.
Wang Xiao selected three more outstanding players from the list of players who participated in the summer league this year, provided three-point short-term contracts without guarantee, and expanded the Bucks' roster to 14 people. This is the Bucks. The team competes in the final roster for the preseason.

"Coach Wang Xiao, what is the goal of the Bucks in the new season?"
A reporter asked.
"Defense! Of course it is to defend the title. We are the champions of last season. If we can't defend the title this season, it will be a step backwards and a failure for us." Wang Xiao answered categorically without hesitation.
A reporter mentioned Embiid, who is about to return in the new season, and asked Wang Xiao's team about Embiid's positioning in the new season.
"Embid is the core of the interior. He will form the interior twin towers with Jokic and become the most powerful offensive firepower for the Bucks in the basket." Wang Xiao replied.
"Does Embiid get a lot of playing time and possession of the ball in the new season? The team already has several core players such as Kevin, Klay and Giannis. Will Joel's comeback affect their ball? Right? Who will be the first core of the team in the new season?"
"Of course." Wang Xiao smiled slightly. "The Bucks have a group of talented and outstanding players. Each of them is outstanding. How to maximize the talents of each of them is something that my coaching staff and I need to master and explore. When I was in the Wizards, I had After such experience, I believe that we should be able to grasp the scale well."
"As for the team's first core...my team does not have the first core or second core. Whoever plays better is the first core. That's why we are so strong."
...
On October 2, the preseason of the NBA 2016-2017 season officially began.
The Bucks’ opponents in the preseason opener are the Chicago Bulls. Both teams start with their respective main players. However, in the preseason, the main players often only play for a while at the beginning of the first quarter, and will appear more often. Time is left for the bench players to play.
This game is no exception. A few minutes after the debut, the main players of the Bucks and Bulls went off the field one after another, replaced rookies and bench players to compete on the court.
Wang Xiao was sitting on the sidelines, but he was completely distracted from the game on the court, because the moment the game whistle blew, the system finally reopened!
