Data Analysis: What is the current level of Antetokounmpo, which is enough to change the league s championship pattern?

Recently, there is a hot topic in the American basketball circle, that is, Antetokounmpo Antetokounmpo is considering where he will go in the future. He said in a podcast of his older brother Thanasis: "I am very eager to win the second championship." But obviously the Milwaukee Bucks have lost the strength to compete for the championship. So what is Antetokounmpo's strength now? Today's Star Test will bring you data analysis of Antetokounmpo.

Antetokounmpo is now the first team candidate for the best team, the strongest No. 4 in the league, and a regular season MVP contender. At the end of the regular season on April 16, the American ringe website ranked third among the top 100 NBA stars in 2024-25, only lower than Jokic and Alexander. The website comments are as follows:

Data says everything. Antetokounmpo is experiencing the best season for a 30-year-old player in NBA history. This is the latest in a series of great historical data since the Greek monster won the first MVP honor at the age of 24 in the 2018-19 season. His career shooting percentage is comparable to Jabbar and his amazing efficiency has been even better than O'Neal in his last two seasons, Antetokounmpo is now reasonably the most dominant man besides Chamberlain.

The most amazing thing about Antetokounmpo is that he still maintains high efficiency while clearly adjusting his shooting posture. He is not only a historical finisher, but also has reduced the number of three-point shots and increased the length of two points this season, thus becoming the best mid-range shooter. Just because he doubled the number of shots in the middle-range area with the lowest shooting efficiency, he can surpass O'Neal's peak in the 2005 season. This is incredible. Of course, we are talking about Antetokounmpo.

On the defensive end, the Bucks have returned to the top of the league, thanks in large part to Antetokounmpo's ubiquity on the defensive end. Not many players can bear the offensive burden every night like Antetokounmpo, while also showing an active, large coverage and a keen sense of defensive smell, acting as a safety net in Milwaukee teams with unsatisfactory defensive players.

His regular season statistics and influence are shocking, and this has been going on for a long time. But Antetokounmpo knows more than anyone that these numbers will make no sense if they don’t survive the playoffs. It's been a long time since we've seen Antetokounmpo play a really meaningful game in the playoffs. These data may be a sensible problem, but if you can truly exert your power in the playoffs, you can make everyone feel the influence of these data more clearly. The last comment on the website was incisive. For a player who has won all the regular season honors, the only thing he cares about now is the championship. Although Antetokounmpo once again delivered a terrifying all-round data in the playoffs of 30.4 points, 12 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.2 blocks, the Milwaukee Bucks were still swept by the four-to-one gentleman against the Indiana Pacers. The value of these data is only in the table, but we still have to say it out.

This season, Antetokounmpo played the fourth position 68% of the time. When Daluo left the court, he played the center and played the fifth position 32% of the time. The inside score accounted for as much as 95%, the outside of the three-point line score accounted for only 5%, the independent ball score accounted for 57%, and the assisted score accounted for 43%. The regular season, the regular season, the 10-foot-range attack box was less than the basket, ranked first in the league in 1045 times, and the shooting percentage was as high as 70%. It is a veritable first inside killer in the league.

Average 19.5 points in small penalty area average, ranking first in the league, second in the league - Zion Williamson 18.9 points, and third in Jokic 16.8 points. As the website said, his scoring efficiency has surpassed O'Neal, who finally won the championship in the 2005-06 season. When O'Neal scored 15.9 points in the small penalty area in the regular season, I looked further away. O'Neal won the regular season MVP and championship in 1999-2000 In the season, he averaged 22.5 points in the small penalty area that season, far ahead of the second-ranked Antoine Jamison's 13.7 points. Of course, Antetokounmpo is now a world of difference from the era in which O'Neal was in. O'Neal was purely fighting in the inside line, and now the outside threats of each team can provide a broader scoring space for inside teammates. Therefore, Antetokounmpo is still a certain gap compared to O'Neal's peak in the 99-2000 season.

In addition, as the website introduced, Antetokounmpo made a major change this season is to reduce the number of three-point shots by half. The total number of three-point shots in the regular season dropped from 124 last season to 63, with only 14 goals hitting a shooting percentage of 22%, but the number of mid-range shots increased from 192 last season to 323 this season. In the end, 142 goals hitting a shooting percentage of 44%, approaching the 45% excellent line. Perhaps Antetokounmpo's three-point shots can never be improved to a higher level. His transformation is to take a step forward closer to the basket. For Magic players, the scoring efficiency of more than 40% of the three-point shooting percentage is much greater than the profit of 45% of the mid-range shooting percentage, but for Antetokounmpo, the 28% three-point shooting percentage in his career is far less than the middle-range shooting percentage of 45% of the mid-range shooting percentage.

Antesco's most outstanding point as the inside is his ability to hold the ball. His height of 2.11 meters can still break through the ball like a defender. This is rare in NBA history. This season, he has scored 816 goals and ranked 18th in the league. He made 392 attack box and made 228 goals and hit a shooting percentage of 58.2%. This breakthrough hit rate ranks second in the league, only lower than Halliburton's 58.3%. He relies on breakthroughs to score 599 points and ranks 10th in the league..

Antetokounmpo's ball-holding breakthrough is a trinity of strength, speed, and explosive power, and is fierce and powerful. He is like the Hulk in Marvel movies. Once he turns into a ball and breaks out, he either starts the anti-letter armor with multiple players, or he loses a foul. Although Antetokounmpo's ball-holding breakthrough is only 18th in the league, he is fouled and made free throws by 212 free throws, ranking fourth in the league, first Alexander 294 times, second Edwards 252 times, third Harden 227 times. What is the shortfall is that Antetokounmpo only makes 121 free throws, with a pitiful 57%. One of two free throws is normal. If he can increase his free throw shooting percentage, his dominance in the inside will become stronger.

Some people say that Antetokounmpo plays with just a happy look. He relies entirely on his physical and athletic ability and has no technical content. This statement is more one-sided. In terms of retro scoring skills, which most reflects the center's skills, Antetokounmpo will also do it. This season, he has completed a total of 304 low-level singles, ranking fourth in the league, with first Jokic 613 times, second Zubac 427 times, and third Shenjing 378 times. Antetokounmpo's singles shooting percentage reached 58%. This hit rate ranks fifth among 31 players with more than 100 singles in the low-level singles, first Jokic 61.3%, second Valanciunas 61%, third Zubac 60%, and fourth Porzingis 58.3%. Now, low-level singles are considered to be an inefficient skill usage rate. If it were put in the past, Antetokounmpo will be able to become a low-level killer.

Because his own scoring threat is too strong, he has the characteristics of attracting his opponents' defensive power. This season, he encountered double-team defenses of 1,672 times, ranked 6th in the league, first Trae Young 1,850 times, second Alexander 1,843 times, third Harden 1,760 times, fourth Edwards 1,746 times, fifth Cunningham 1,740 times.

Therefore, other players of the Bucks will always get open opportunities, and Antetokounmpo has the ability to pass and assist the defender, with 53 passes per game, 6.5 assists per game, and a pass assist rate of 12%, but it extends to another topic. Assist data requires two-way rushing. Antetokounmpo needs good helpers. When Antetokounmpo is double-teamed and split the ball, his teammates need to give him a score response, so that the opponent will not dare to double-team Antetokounmpo, and his inside power can be maximized. On the contrary, if teammates keep making irons, the opponent's double-team will be more unscrupulous.

Then we look at the helpers. Lopez assisted 83 times in the regular season. Lopez hit the inside line with 63.4% of the passes, and 25 shots from outside the three-point line, and 38.5% of the shooting percentage, both inside and outside lines.

assisted Prince 69 times, Prince received 91 passes from outside the three-point line and made 44 shots from 48.4%, making him the strongest receiving shooter.

assisted Lillard 53 times, Lillard made 54 of 143 shots from outside the three-point line and shot a 37.8% shooting percentage, barely qualified.

assisted Trent 50 times, and Trent made 43 of 89 shots from outside the three-point line with a shooting percentage of 48.3%. He is also the strongest goalkeeper in the first-level match.

But in the playoffs stage, Lillard fell, Lopez and Prince were completely silent, the newly joined Kuzma and Antetokounmpo did not call, Daluo received Antetokounmpo's pass and only returned 3 assists when receiving Antetokounmpo's pass in 5 playoffs, Prince returned 1 assist, Kuzma received 1 assist, the only reliable one was Trent Jr., who received 10 assists in total, Portis 9 times, basketball is a game of five people. No matter how good Antetokounmpo's martial arts are, it can't stand the opponent's group.

Antesco is an offensive and defensive player, and is also powerful on the defensive end. He is the cold rebounding machine. He averaged 11.9 rebounds per game this season and ranked 6th in the league. He completed 78 blocks and ranked 23rd in the league. He averaged 11.8 shots per game. His opponent hit 5.3 goals and hit a shooting percentage of 45.3% under his defense, reducing his opponent's shooting percentage by an average of 2.7 percentage points.

The defensive back players have 1189 rounds in 227 minutes, accounting for 25% of the defensive time, limiting the shooting percentage of the defenders to 42%.

is against defensive forward players in 489 minutes and 2508 rounds, accounting for 54% of the defensive time, limiting the shooting percentage of forward players to 44.8%.

The defensive center players have 973 rounds in 192 minutes, accounting for 21% of the defensive time, limiting the center players' shooting percentage to 52.3%.

It can be seen that he belongs to the defensive gate that is suppressed at all positions. If he devotes all his energy to the defensive end, he is completely the best defensive player level.

Antesco has grown older, and the potential for injury is getting bigger and bigger, especially in the fiercely competitive playoffs. The main reason is that the lone hero's way of playing is too tiring. He is a star who can change the league's championship pattern. His future where he will affect the direction of the entire league. In any case, I hope he can leave no regrets in his future career and strive to achieve more honors.
