The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

This game is very important to Wang Xiao and the entire Wizards team.

Especially when they defeated the Cavaliers, one of the strongest teams in the Eastern Conference.

But in the eyes of the outside world, the reason why this game can be won mainly depends on Curry's outbreak. The question is, how many times can Curry explode? He can't score 50+ points every game to help the team win, right?

Regardless of Curry's superb performance, the Wizards still exposed many problems in this game.

The first of these is defense.

After the four games, the Wizards lost an average of 110 points per game. This loss can be ranked last in the league. Last season, it was the second last in the league.

Although the Wizards' scoring average is also among the top in the league, if the defense cannot be solved, no matter how sharp the offense is, it is impossible to make a difference.

"It can be seen that Wang Xiao seems to want the Wizards to play the run-and-gun tactics, but I'm afraid he is thinking too well." A well-known sports commentator shook his head when talking about the performance of the Wizards: "Not all players Every team can become the sun, and Nash's rhythm master is also unique."

"And the Wizards' run-and-gun tactics are very strange. More than half of the offense relies on three-pointers. The Suns' run-and-gun tactics are not like this. The Wizards averaged more than 40 three-pointers per game in four games. Shooting, winning or losing depends entirely on luck. When one's own players feel good, they shoot three-pointers to kill their opponents. If luck is bad, without three-pointers, the game will be lost... The game is more like a gamble."

This view represents the thoughts of the vast majority of people in the NBA.

This is normal, and anything beyond this era will not be accepted as it should be.

Even for the future Warriors, when they defeated the Remnant Cavaliers and won the championship in 2015, many people still believed that the Warriors' championship was only obtained by good luck.

It wasn't until 2016, when the Warriors won 73 victories under the leadership of Kurt, that people finally discovered that the increase in three-point shooting and small ball tactics can really be so strong! This tactic was gradually accepted.

And even in 19 years, many people are still claiming that if there is a center like O'Neal in the small ball era, he will definitely be able to blow up the entire league.

They don't even think about it, how many center forwards like O'Neal are in the league? How many teams can get it?

If you can get O'Neal, of course you won't have a problem with your head to play small ball tactics. The key is that you don't have it!

Not to mention the next few years, even now, that is, in 10 years, is there a big center with such ability in the league?

O'Neal Duncan is getting old, and the new generation of super center Howard may be barely one, but Wang Xiao really can't compliment Howard's offensive skills. When he gets older, his physical fitness and explosive power are far worse than before and after. Deterrence will be greatly reduced.

Although small ball tactics have been controversial, it is definitely the trend of the times and the inevitable result of the development of basketball.

Wang Xiao is now going to be the first to eat crabs, and the only problem the Wizards currently has is defense.

Compared with the 73-win Warriors, the current Wizards obviously have a lot of deficiencies in defense, but there is no way around it. The core of the Warriors' defense is Draymond Green, who has won the best defensive player. Dirty has been controversial, but Green's defense is recognized as strong, with excellent defensive awareness, fast lateral movement, and can immediately make fast breaks after grabbing rebounds.

The presence of Green has completely upgraded the Warriors' defense to a new level.

At present, Wang Xiao cannot find a substitute for Draymond Green. Of course there are such players in the league, such as Kevin Garnett, but it is impossible to get Garnett. The 10-year Garnett Even if they are still holding on to the tail of their peak period, the Celtics can't let them go easily.

But even if there is no defensive champion like Draymond Green, the depth of the current Wizards lineup is enough to occupy the sky in this era of lack of powerful centers!

...

After an away win over the Cavaliers, the Wizards returned home to face the Indiana Pacers.

The 10-year Pacers are no longer the strong team that could compete with the champion Pistons. O'Neal, Artest, and Jackson have left the team one after another. The Pacers have also begun to rebuild. Although they have Danny . Granger is such an excellent player, but the team's record is still difficult to improve. Since the 2006-07 season, it has missed the playoffs for 3 consecutive seasons.

This opponent is much weaker than the Cavaliers, and the performance of Curry and the Wizards, who have already exploded, did not disappoint Wang Xiao.

At 121:109, the Wizards won their first victory of the new season at the team's home stadium, the MCI Center Arena, with a hearty game!

Curry's performance in this game was still amazing. He made 8 of 15 shots, including 4 of 10 three-pointers. After counting free throws, he scored a game-high 24 points.

In addition to Curry, the Wizards also had 4 players who scored in double figures. Jamison also felt very good, scoring 21 points, Butler 18 points, Harden who came off the bench scored 18 points and 8 assists, and Green 11 points.

Relying on the outstanding performance of the players, the Wizards won another game and won two consecutive victories!

The victories of the two games also made the fans' denunciation of Wang Xiao a little less. No matter what, the victory cannot be questioned.

The sword of Damocles hanging over Wang Xiao's head also moved away slightly.

Two wins and three losses in the first five games. Although not qualified, it is still better than last season's 11 games and 10 losses.

The Wizards' opponent in Game 6 was the Miami Heat.

When mentioning the Miami Heat, Wang Xiao thought of a guy.

Legendary Godfather Pat Riley.

Wang Xiao still has a grievance with this guy, which can be traced back to two years ago, when Wang Xiao had just crossed over not long ago.

Before I knew it, more than two years had passed.

To be honest, if he hadn't seen the name of the Heat, Wang Xiao might not have remembered it at all.

But now that he remembered it, Wang Xiao would not pretend that nothing had happened.

"Am I only worthy of cleaning the toilet? Then let you see how vengeful this toilet sweeper is!"

The grievance between Wang Xiao and Pat Riley is indeed not remembered by many people. Two years ago, Wang Xiao was not well-known, and he only got a little attention by forcing Durant to be the No. 1 pick.

Two years later, Wang Xiao has returned to the NBA and became the head coach of the Wizards. Although the current record of the team is not particularly ideal, it has proved that he is absolutely capable of being the head coach of an NBA-level team .
