The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

There was no sound in the MCI center arena, and all Wizards fans watched the game in front of them with heavy hearts.

At this time, the game between the Wizards and the Magic has entered the fourth quarter, and the players on both sides are still playing hard.

But the outcome has lost suspense.

The scores of the two sides are clearly displayed on the big screen.

78:99, the home team is in front and the visiting team is behind. The Washington Wizards have fallen behind by 21 points at home! .

Wang Xiao stood on the sidelines with his hands on his hips, without any expression on his face, and on the bench behind him, the players of the Wizards all looked unwilling.

...

"It's over. Wang Xiao has replaced the full bench. He has given up chasing points. As a result, the Wizards have lost both home games. They will go to Orlando with a big score of 0:2... I have to say , this is really bad."

"The Wizards lost two games in a row. It's not the fault of the coach or the players. It can only be said that Wang Xiao and his Wizards were a bit unlucky. All we can do is cheer for them and pray that Curry is okay..."

Curry got hurt, and it happened all of a sudden.

In the first game of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Magic, Curry sprained his foot during a layup and fell to the ground in pain and couldn't get up.

At that moment, Wang Xiao's heart couldn't help but tugged.

It occurred to him that Curry's ankle always seemed to have something wrong with it.

In another time and space, Curry suffered frequent ankle sprains, which seriously affected his performance on the court. Frequent sprains made Curry a well-known glass man in the league. Throughout the 11-12 season, Curry only played due to ankle sprains. played 26 games.

In September 2012, for career considerations, Curry chose to undergo surgery to remove excess soft tissue and bone spurs.

This surgical treatment has more or less alleviated Curry's ankle problem. Although he missed a few games each season due to some minor problems in the next few seasons, it was not serious enough to affect his career. injury.

Now, what Curry sprained is precisely his right ankle!

Although the time has not yet matched, Wang Xiao attaches great importance to Curry's sprained ankle. He will never let him play again until he is fully recovered!

Without Curry, the team's first scoring point, the Wizards' firepower was seriously insufficient. The first game collapsed in the final quarter, ruining the original lead and being overtaken.

In the second game, the away game Magic took the initiative on the field from the very beginning, and kept the advantage until the end of the game.

The series started 2:0, and Curry was also damaged. The current situation is extremely bad for Wang Xiao and the Wizards.

...

Regarding the defeat of these two games, both the media reporters and the fans in Washington have maintained a very tolerant attitude.

Everyone knew that losing two games in a row was not the fault of Wang Xiao and the team, it was just their bad luck.

Moreover, advancing to the Eastern Conference semifinals is already the best result of the Wizards in recent years. Wang Xiao and his young team can achieve such a result in the first season. It is quite satisfactory result.

Not this year, but next year! The current lineup of the Wizards is so young, are you afraid that there will be no chance?

But some people don't think so.

The day after the game, Wang Xiao's office welcomed a guest—Stephen Curry.

Curry's sprain is a bit serious, but after two days of recovery, he has improved a lot. At least he can walk around without crutches, but he is a little limping.

"Coach." As soon as Curry saw Wang Xiao, he went straight to the point. "The next game, I want to play."

Wang Xiao was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and then frowned. "Don't mess around, your injury hasn't healed yet, what are you going to fight for?"

"I just sprained my ankle. It's not a serious injury at all. I also sprained it in college. I continued to play a few days later." Curry said hastily: "If the team doesn't have me now, I'm afraid it will be over soon." Eliminated by the Magic! I have to be on the court, with my teammates, and help them!"

Wang Xiao looked at Curry quietly. From Curry's eyes, he could see the desire for victory.

Curry would love to win.

Not only Curry, but the entire Wizards team wanted to win the game, especially Wang Xiao.

The version 3.0 of the system has been upgraded to 80%, and it can be activated in just one game. If it loses to the Magic 0:4, the activation of the system will take a whole year, and Wang Xiao is not willing.

But he's even more reluctant to bet on Curry's career.

Things like sprains can be big or small. If it is mild, it will be fine in a few days, but if it is serious, it may affect the player's entire career.

Curry's ankle is the hardest hit, how could he ignore it?

In order to prevent Curry from spraining his ankle frequently like in another time and space, Wang Xiao must ensure that Curry is fully recovered before letting him play.

"Stephen, if you can't do it, you can't do it. I'm the head coach. This is my territory. You have to listen to me!"

Thinking of this, Wang Xiao shook his head and rejected Curry again.

"But the coach! Without me, the team will be eliminated!"

Curry said anxiously.

"So, for the victory of a game or a series, do you have to gamble your entire career?" Wang Xiao asked rhetorically.

Curry was speechless.

In fact, he didn't think it was that serious at all.

In his opinion, the ankle sprain was nothing more than a serious injury, and it was over by gritting his teeth and overcoming the pain. How could it affect his future career?

In fact, many players have the same idea as Curry, so it will lead to irreversible consequences.

The most typical case is that Dayao, who was injured in the 2009 playoffs, forced to play in order to win the team regardless of his injury. He won the game, but then he was reimbursed for the season and then retired.

At that time, Wang Xiao was very unworthy of Yao. Even after traveling here, Wang Xiao called Yao Ming specifically in the 2009 playoffs, hoping that he would not force him to play, but the result was not successful.

He can't stop Dayao, but he can still stop Curry now because he is the head coach of the team.

"You want to win, I can understand, and I really want to win, but this is not the only way to win."

Wang Xiao stood up and walked to Curry, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "I promise you, I will do everything possible to make the team beat the Magic and get close to the Eastern Conference Finals! Just obediently recuperate, even if this season It's over like this, and the next season will be the same as the return of the king!"
