The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

Wang Xiao, who is in the center of the storm, is not in a hurry because of the loss of 3 games.

There are 82 games in the regular season, and a 3-game loss is nothing short of trivial.

In contrast, the current performance of the Wizards in every game makes him somewhat satisfied.

Because every game, players can learn from the failures of previous games, optimize and improve their performance on the field.

The most obvious of these is Curry.

From the first game to the third game, Curry has become more and more adaptable from being at a loss, and his shooting percentage has also improved a little bit.

In the last game, Curry's performance was actually not bad, shooting 39% from the field, and his three-point shooting rate rose to 35% without knowing it. The reason for the loss was that he did not understand enough about small ball tactics. And the performance of the Nets in that game was really good.

As the so-called thick accumulation, Curry has played under great pressure in these three games, and he is also rapidly accumulating experience in the constant forging.

Nearly a month of special training during the offseason consumed a lot of Wang Xiao's victory points. Nearly a month has passed between the preseason and the regular season. During this time, Wang Xiao has been using special training to strengthen the library. In order to save the use of the shooting ability in the game, Harden and others can only enjoy ordinary training bonuses.

The training value he accumulated in the NCAA not long ago has been exhausted!

Such a huge amount of training can completely pile up Curry into the future Curry. What Curry lacks now is experience and the talent that will burst out as a historical player who does not know when.

Wang Xiao is sure that all this will not wait too long.

Wang Xiao can wait patiently, but not everyone can wait.

After three games, the Wizards' poor record finally made the team's boss unable to sit still.

Wang Xiao received a call from the team owner and asked him to go to the owner's office to talk.

When Wang Xiao went to the boss's office, he found that the team's general manager, Glenn Field, was also there.

"Wang, the team's record has been terrible recently. I haven't seen the return to the playoffs that you promised at the beginning." The team owner frowned. Don't talk about Wang Xiao these days, it's him There is no shortage of scolding by radical fans of the Wizards on the Internet. "I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation."

"You can regard this as a necessary investment." Wang Xiao's expression was flat, and he looked directly at the other party without dodging his eyes. "The current Wizards is a team that has almost been pushed to rebuilding. Most of the players on the team are rookies. They need time to adapt to the rhythm of the NBA game and the teammates they partner with. After they adapt to all this, the team The record will be back on track in no time."

Grunfeld smiled, and looked at Wang Xiao meaningfully.

The team owner took a look at Grunfeld.

"Wang, before you came, I had a brief chat with the general manager and he said that you would definitely say that. This is what every coach would say when the team loses."

"There is an old saying in China that heroes see the same thing. It seems that Mr. Ernie agrees with me surprisingly." Wang Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Grunfeld.

This guy, really brooding over the fact that he took away his trading decision-making power, actually went to the team owner to make trouble.

The team owner shook his head and said: "I am not my father. I don't know the NBA, and I don't know whether what you are doing is right or wrong. As a businessman, I know that the truth lies in a few people." In your hands, you have to be willing to take risks to be rewarded, which is why I was willing to sign you in the first place."

"However, as a businessman, if I don't get any substantial benefits in a transaction, and I am ridiculed by various people because of this investment, it can prove that this is a failed investment. A A successful businessman must also learn to stop losses even if the investment fails."

"Wang, 3 games, I'll give you 3 games. If you can't let me see the return on investment within 3 games, I'm going to stop the loss, OK?"

Listening to the team owner's words, the smile on Grunfeld's face became brighter and brighter.

This damned Chinese guy has messed up his well-built Wizards team after he came to the team for a few months, and now he can finally pack up and leave!

Walking out of the boss's office, Wang Xiao sighed.

Sure enough, the head coach of a team is not so easy to be.

Turning around, Wang Xiao saw Grunfeld coming out behind him.

"Mr. Ernie, is there any happy event? Why are you smiling so happily?"

Looking at the smiling Wang Xiao in front of him, Grunfeld was stunned.

What's the situation? This is the first time this guy has taken the initiative to talk to himself. Could it be that he wants to curry favor with himself because he doesn't want to be kicked out?

"I didn't smile, I'm afraid you read it wrong, dear Wang, and I don't think you have time to pay attention to whether others laugh or not? The boss is already angry. If you can't produce a record that satisfies the boss, I'm afraid it's hard for you to laugh."

"Really? I hope that after three games, both of us can laugh happily." Wang Xiao shrugged and turned to leave.

Seeing Wang Xiaoyuan's back, Grunfeld sneered twice. "Hmph, after 3 games, I will definitely be smiling happily, but you may not."

...

After a three-game losing streak, the Wizards' next opponent is not ideal.

They will fly to Cleveland, Ohio, to challenge the Cavaliers led by LeBron James.

Since the selection of James, the son of the Chosen, in 2003, the Cavaliers have officially shed the reputation of a big team and become one of the strongest teams in the East.

In 2006, 2007, and 2008, the Wizards encountered the Cavaliers in the playoffs for three consecutive years, and they were all defeated and eliminated by the Cavaliers without exception.

In the away game against the Cavaliers, in the eyes of many people, this is almost another sure-fire failure.

Judging from the trend of the first quarter of the game, it seems that this is indeed the case.

James showed almost terrifying dominance from the beginning. Facing the weak defense of the Wizards outside, he made sudden shots, scored 13 points in a single quarter, and sent 4 assists. The Cavaliers scored 33 points in the first quarter , and the Wizards only scored 16 points.

Almost everyone felt that this match would turn into a massacre without any suspense, except for Wang Xiao.

In the first quarter of the game, Curry didn't take many shots, but Wang Xiao keenly discovered that Curry's touch seems to be quite good in today's game

On the one hand, it is because he has gradually adapted to the rhythm of the NBA game. On the other hand, the Cavaliers' main defense against Curry is the starting point guard Mo Williams, a well-known point guard with strong offense and weak defense. The defense did not put much pressure on Curry.
