"Behind the glory is engraved a heartache", which is the best interpretation of the letter brother to win the championship. Last season, no one was optimistic about the Bucks winning the championship, but they went all the way to win the championship. Revenge on the Heat, reversing the Nets, lightly taking the Eagles, fiercely fighting the Suns, and successfully winning the championship, the entire Bucks team completed the transformation. History is beautiful, but it eventually becomes a story. In the new season, Brother Alphabet also set a new goal for himself, once again leading the team to defend the title and win the double MVP. Will the Bucks successfully defend their title this season?
In the latest issue of the MVP rankings, Alphabet Brother surpassed Curry and Durant rose to the first place. This season, Alphabet Brother averaged 27.8 points, 11.6 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 1.5 blocks per game, and led the Bucks to third place in the East, and they are only one win away from the first Bulls in the East.
Unlike injuries at the beginning of the season and the impact of new championships, the Bucks' players are also returning at this stage. Once the Bucks' lineup is intact, they will have a great chance of finishing first in the East. At that time, The Alphabet Brother is likely to get his third MVP.
The reason why the Bucks are considered a title favorite is because they are a team with a balanced attack and defense. The three core letters brother, Middleton, and Holliday all started from defense, and then through the continuous efforts of the day after tomorrow, they have their own foothold in the league. Di Vincenzo, Connaughton, Portis and Allen around them are also fierce defensive 3D players. With Da luo and Cousins as the town guard on the inside, this Bucks has the strength to share the world with all kinds of strong teams. And the targeted reinforcement of the off-season team makes this already brave Bucks look even stronger and fiercer!
Off-season. The Bucks introduced Aaron and George Hill in the Nos. 1 and 2 positions. Allen is a highly capable two-man defender who has played stunning stats of 40 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists at the Jazz. Allen averaged 12.1 points per game with the Bucks this season and was able to shoot 42.2 percent from three-point range.
Compared with excellent offensive ability, Allen is more of an aggressive defender, whether it is single defense ability or co-defense awareness, Allen is a player worthy of the coach's favor. Hill is older, but he plays reasonably he has accumulated a wealth of experience over the years, and Hill's presence will make the Bucks' offense more fluid in the regular season.
The No. 3 and No. 4 Bucks introduced Hood and Ojele. Hood is 2.03m tall and thin, making him a small forward with a full range of offensive techniques. Hood's presence could make up for the lack of offensive capabilities in the third position of the team after Middleton went off the court. As for Ojele, his job at the Bucks is to defend. After all, the 198cm tall and 109 kg tank size can be hard under the basket for any size forward.
As for the No. 5 position, Cousins' addition could give the Bucks a greater chance of beating the 76ers. Because of Embiid's presence, the 76ers have become potential playoff rivals for the Bucks. In order to limit Embiid's score, in addition to the encirclement of Alphabet Brother and Dalo, Cousins' tonnage is also the main way to consume Embiid. In the East, with the exception of the Nets, whose offensive talent is highly likely to beat the Bucks, it's really hard for other teams to pose a substantial threat to the Bucks.
As for whether the Bucks can successfully defend their titles? Mainly rely on their super core alphabet brother. In today's league, players who can single-handedly limit the number of brothers to score are almost non-existent. Either he is not as tall as he is strong, or he is not as flexible as he is fast. And the letter brother's instantaneous explosiveness and muscle stiffness belong to the top of the league.
Alphabet Brother is an organizational striker who can both take a big stride to the basket with the ball and give accurate assists to his empty teammates. Alphabet Brother also has a certain low-level singles ability, which can easily score under the basket with his foot and bouncing power. But alphabet brother penalties and instability in the middle distance led to a decrease in his lethality in key moments.
What scares opponents the most is his defense. 2.11m height and 2.20m arm span, as well as excellent movement speed. Let the alphabet brother become the buck's basket monster, chase the big hat, volleyball hot pot has become the alphabet brother to the opponent of the daily gift.
The Bucks' defensive strategy is simple but layered, with Alphabet Brother crouching in the inner line and relying on his defensive talent to shoot on the perimeter. Holliday, Middleton, Portis and Di Vincenzo then play a single defense and a speed shift on the perimeter. Under the high-speed and oppressive defense, the opponent will be able to break through the Bucks defense and easily complete the score.
As for the Bucks' weakness at key moments, the team was effectively solved after the introduction of Holliday. Holliday is a strong double defender who can lock up the opposing core defender on his own on the defensive end. The offensive end can also create opportunities for teammates by breaking through and tearing apart the opponent's defenses.
Holliday's mid-range shooting ability is unstable, but the three-point shooting rate can remain above 35% all year round. With Middleton and Holliday handling the ball at key moments, plus alphabet brothers on the inside. The Bucks' scoring at key moments is guaranteed.
With the Bucks' current roster configuration, as long as the team remains healthy, they will be able to achieve the desired results in the regular season. And if the bucks want to successfully defend their titles, the alphabet brother also needs to continue to complete the evolution. I don't expect Brother Alphabet to practice a steady three-pointer in the near future, as long as his turnaround jump shots and free throws can maintain a good shooting rate, his dominance will go up to another level. If the alphabet brother can complete another two-game championship, then the first person in the league after James is none other than the alphabet brother.
After alphabet brother was selected by the Bucks with the 15th pick in 2013, the Bucks did not expect the thin Greek lad to lead the team to revival. Alphabet Brother patiently started from the bench and gradually became the team's star with visible progress. Thin and weak, he continued to gain weight every year; the organization did not work, he came to the training hall an hour early each time; the breakthrough did not work, he took the initiative to practice in the off-season.
Even the consistently bad mid-range and free throws have made significant progress in Alphabet Brother's day-to-day practice. In the eyes of Brother Alphabet, there is no eternal success, only by constantly improving yourself, can you reach the other side of the ideal!
Since the Bucks have won a championship without being favored, the team will still have enough confidence to defend the title. The 27-year-old alphabet brother has now won 1 Finals MVP + 2 regular season MVP + 1 defensive player of the year, and with his existing honors, he can also be ranked as the second-largest striker in history (after Duncan). After James, Durant, and Curry retire in a few years, the dominance of Alphabet Brother will become even more frightening. As for how much can alphabet brother achieve in the future? That can only be described by the four words "unlimited"!
Talent is not enough, work hard to make it up! But when you try to a certain extent, what you want will naturally appear. Looking forward to the Bucks' performance in the new season!
