The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

"Bang bang... bang bang bang... bang!"

In the training hall, the sound of the basketball hitting the ground and hitting the basket kept ringing, like rhythmic percussion.

Hearing this voice, Wang Xiao, who had just entered the arena, was quite surprised.

And when he walked to the training hall and saw Paul George sweating profusely on the court, he was relieved again.

At this time, apart from George, I am afraid that no other player will choose to come to the arena for extra training.

It's not that Curry and others didn't train hard enough, but Wang Xiao gave all the players a day off today.

After finally surviving the tough four-game streak, Wang Xiao naturally knew the principle of combining work and rest, and it was impossible for the physically and mentally exhausted players to immediately devote themselves to high-intensity training.

And even during the holiday, George came to the arena to continue training.

There is no assistant coach to assist, and no trainer, just he trains silently by himself.

"Paul, today is a holiday, you should stay at home and enjoy the rest time."

Wang Xiao is very satisfied with George's hard work, but he doesn't particularly approve of such hard training.

After all, overtired muscles are one of the main culprits of on-field injuries.

Hearing Wang Xiao's voice, George was slightly taken aback, and was also a little surprised when he turned around to see Wang Xiao.

"coach……"

But he reacted immediately and smiled a little shyly.

"I can't relax at home, so I want to come here to practice, not to mention that my current level is still far behind, so I can't relax a little bit in training."

Wang Xiao nodded, very satisfied with George's answer.

To be reasonable, as the season progressed, George's performance has become better and better, and it seems that George has suddenly grown a lot after the matchup between the Heat and James.

In the previous four consecutive Hell, in order to ensure that the main players were not too tired, Wang Xiao used a lot of rotations, and George's playing time also increased further, and he did not disappoint Wang Xiao, and performed very well.

Although the average data per game is not as good as Butler, but if you average the game time and compare the efficiency value, George has surpassed Butler and Jamison, and is second only to Curry Harden and Jr. Jordan in the Wizards.

George's growth is completely in line with Wang Xiao's expectations. He originally planned to let George replace Butler as the starting small forward after the end of this season.

After this season, Butler will be 31 years old.

This age is considered an advanced age for many players, and Butler is no exception.

In fact, if there was no Wang Xiao's intervention to incite the butterfly wings, Butler should have been traded to the Mavericks by the Wizards last season. In the Mavericks, Butler only played 29 games this season, and he was reimbursed for the season due to a right knee injury. .

In the next two years, although Butler was still the main starter, his playing time, personal data and efficiency have shrunk to a large extent.

Since Wang Xiao knew this history, he was extra careful when using Butler this season. Not only did he strictly control his playing time, but he also greatly reduced Butler's favorite tactic of hitting the basket, making it more effective. Became an almost pure perimeter shooter.

But even so, Butler's competitive state is still slowly and continuously declining, even faster than Jamison, who is 5 years older than him.

Fortunately, Wang Xiao found Butler's replacement in time.

Paul George.

In another time and space, George, who has fully grown in only three years, is definitely a better player than Butler. With the bonus effect of Wang Xiao's training module and deliberate training, this time will undoubtedly be shortened even further.

"Okay, make sure you rest well and don't get hurt."

Wang Xiao smiled gratifiedly, and then explained something, and then prepared to go to the office to get busy.

"That... the coach."

At this moment, George's slightly hesitant voice sounded.

"Huh? What's the matter?" Wang Xiao turned his head to look.

George was holding the basketball in his hand, sweat was streaming down his forehead, and his expression was a little hesitant, as if he was struggling with something. After a pause, he continued: "Two weeks later, we have to talk to the Heat again. Teams met, that... can I play against James again?"

There was a flash of light in Wang Xiao's eyes.

He could well see how much courage George had mustered up when he said those words.

In the last away game against the Heat, although the Wizards won the final victory, James' super performance of 42 points still caused many fans to discuss.

It was Butler and George who defended James at the time.

Butler and James have been facing each other for many years, and they have been beaten up countless times. Naturally, they have become accustomed to it, but George, who is only a first-year rookie, has encountered such a situation for the first time.

Although the team won in the end, he still blamed himself a little. He felt that if he hadn’t allowed James to score so many points, it would have been impossible to decide the winner until the last minute. Luck wins.

And when he made this request to Wang Xiao, he was very nervous. After all, the head coach naturally has his own arrangements for how to play on the court. He is just a small first-year rookie substitute, not a superstar. What qualifications dictate the arrangement of the head coach?

But even so, he still had the courage to speak out his request, because he was very unwilling and wanted to continue to challenge James until he defeated him!

The training hall fell silent.

George looked at Wang Xiao expectantly, but seeing that Wang Xiao didn't show any expression, his eyes gradually dimmed.

At this moment, Wang Xiao suddenly spoke up.

"In the game against the Heat, you can start and play against James the whole time."

George was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes widened in surprise, and he looked at his head coach in disbelief.

At this moment, he wondered if there was something wrong with his ears. What the coach said just now was to let him start?

It's not that George has never started a game, but whenever Butler or Jamison takes a break, he always takes the starting position as a substitute.

"Don't be too happy." Wang Xiao said again at this time, and his voice called George back who was a little dull. "This is a chance I give you, but whether you can seize the opportunity depends on yourself."

"When facing James, I will always pay attention to your performance. How far you can limit James will determine your position in the team. Don't let me down."

With that said, Wang Xiao turned his head and walked out of the training hall. George's surprise voice came from behind him.

"No problem! Coach!"

The corner of Wang Xiao's mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't turn his head back. At the same time, the victory points were deducted silently, and the bonus of the training system also shrouded the training hall.

The training module opened for one person... It's a bit wasteful, but it's definitely worth it!
