What is the limit of Antetokounmpo? Can Turner carry the Bucks new expectations?

The Milwaukee Bucks are about to usher in a new season. This team, which has been among the strong teams in the Eastern Conference for seven consecutive years, is now facing a new situation that is not regarded as a hot topic in the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time in five years. When Media Day kicks off on September 29, five key suspense is emerging in the late summer heat wave in Milwaukee.

The ultimate challenge of the peak explorer

The two 30+11+6 all-around seasons have made Giannis Antetokounmpo an in-history, but the burden of reality is pressing on the shoulders of Greek monsters. When Lillard's 7.1 assists and 24.6 points per game are urgently needed to be filled, the ball-handling forward who controls the Bucks' lifeline may be about to touch the ceiling of his career - but for Antetokounmpo, who is used to breaking through the rules, this self-breaking game will never seem boring. The offensive and defensive test of changing the backcourt

The new combination of Porter Jr. and Anthony will take over the task of tearing the defense. Last season, the Bucks' offensive efficiency has always been among the top seven in the league. It is urgent to rebuild the defensive loophole repair. The nightmare data of opponents who averaged 115.3 points per game must end the two-way value of the space magic tower. Myers Turner came to Seoul City with the deterrence of two block kings. The 39.6% three-point shooting percentage formed a unique chemical reaction with the height of 2.08 meters. But if you want to replicate Lopez's achievements in the second team of the defensive lineup that year, the new player must not only build a no-fly zone in the paint area, but also continue to output firepower that averaged 18 points per game last season - this is a scoring task that Brooke Lopez has never reached in his entire career.

Kuzma's chance to save him

The forward who moved from Washington to Micheng City is experiencing a double-cold situation: his regular season performance of 14.5 points barely passed, but his 34.3% shooting percentage in the playoffs is like a nightmare. With the collective departure of the second and fourth scoring points, the three-time champion member ushered in a golden window to re-prove himself - as long as he can clear the haze of 20% of the hits outside the playoff three-point line. The reconstruction of the cube of the

lineup, the reconstruction of the starting lineup was as frequent as a revolving lamp last season, creating a net efficiency miracle of +13. The coaching staff in the new season seem to find a balance between stability and flexibility, and the role positioning of playoff firefighters such as Prince and Trent will directly affect the Bucks' tactical ceiling.
