The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

Usually, unless there is a favorite star or a favorite team, in most cases, people like the strong.

Victory means everything, and no one hates the strong.

The Lakers can become the most successful and popular club in the NBA because it has the league's leading number of championships.

In the entire NBA, in terms of the number of championships, only the Celtics have won more than the Lakers with 17 championships.

But among the Celtics' 17 championships, 11 of them were won in ancient times. At that time, the Celtics had a luxurious lineup and excellent coaches that almost monopolized the entire league, and they were in the league.

That era is still too far away for the current fans. In comparison, the five championships of the Lakers during the magician period, the three consecutive championships of the dynasty during the OK combination period, and Kobe’s subsequent two championships are relatively close, which is even more impressive. .

Not only the NBA, but other sports as well.

In football, the Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona almost monopolize the vast majority of fans.

The current Wizards team has reached the peak of its dominance in the league. With its gorgeous style of play, young and energetic lineup, and the support of the league's best results, the team's fans are growing rapidly every day.

This has also made George, Thompson and Leonard's All-Star votes have been increasing. Although they are still not as good as those veteran star players, few of the new generation players can match them.

The Wizards did not disappoint the fans who supported them, and continued to blow the horn of victory and win the next game.

In the regular season in January, the Wizards won all 6 home games and 8 of 11 away games, with a winning rate of 82%.

You must know that this is the case of 11 away games in a single month. The Wizards' winning percentage at home is far higher than that of away games. According to this situation, the Wizards really have the possibility of hitting 70 wins in a single season this season.

However, Wang Xiao is very aware of the difficulty of winning 70 or more victories in a single season. Although the current Wizards team is very strong, it is slightly worse than the 73-win Warriors in 2015-16. , There is also a lot of luck in getting 73 wins.

Because of this, although Wang Xiao wanted to break the Bulls' record of 72 wins, Wang Xiao didn't want to put too much pressure on the players. Most of the Wizards players were young, and the pressure to defend the championship was already very high for them. Adding fuel to the fire with something like breaking a record is likely to become superfluous.

At the end of January and the time has entered February, Wang Xiao has intensified the intensity of the rotation. The number of away games played by the main players has been reduced, and the game time at home is also strictly controlled.

However, even in such a cautious situation, accidents will inevitably happen.

At the beginning of February, in a home game against the Bucks, Caron Butler collided with his opponent with his right knee during a layup and fell to the ground on the spot. After the game, he was checked in detail and finally announced that he would be reimbursed for the season.

This is something Wang Xiao and even the entire Wizards team did not expect, especially Wang Xiao. As a traveler, he knew that Butler suffered an injury shortly after he was traded to the Mavericks by the Wizards in the 10-11 season. He was reimbursed for the entire season, so he missed all the games that the Mavericks played in the playoffs and eventually won the championship that season.

In this time and space, because of Wang Xiao, a traveler, he was not traded to the Mavericks, and he was not seriously injured in the 10-11 season, but he was still injured two years later.

Caron Butler's season reimbursement is a serious blow to the Wizards. Although his playing time has shrunk further this season, Caron Butler is still an important scoring point on the bench. Among the Wizards' substitutes, Butler The score can be ranked second, second only to Jamison.

Fortunately, the Wizards have sufficient reserves in the position of swingman, Jimmy Butler and Chandler Parsons can be used, and even Caron Butler's injury gave them more appearances and performances Opportunity.

...

Caron Butler's injury made Wang Xiao more cautious.

He is not sure whether Butler's injury was an accident, or the butterfly effect caused by no injury in the 10-11 season.

Caron Butler is not the only Wizards player with a history of injuries. The core of the team, point guard Stephen Curry, also has a history of serious injuries in another time and space.

Throughout the 11-12 season, Curry only played 26 games, with constant injuries and stoppages, which is not much better than Rose this season.

It was precisely because of the 11-12 season with constant injuries that the Warriors and Hook Company lost their trust in Curry. The Warriors were only willing to offer Curry a four-year contract worth $44 million, and the Hook Company even It was a humiliating sneaker contract offer.

Now, under Wang Xiao's intervention, Curry has become the MVP of the regular season for two consecutive times, and holds a championship and FMVP. He just signed a maximum salary contract with the Wizards, which is the happiest time.

Wang Xiao was very worried that Curry would be injured like Caron Butler and be reimbursed for the entire season. That would be terrible!

Curry is strong but strong, but there is a weakness that cannot be ignored, and that is too brittle.

As a superstar, while possessing strong strength, you also need to have a strong physique to ensure sufficient attendance. Stars like James, Kobe, Durant, etc. have had injuries during their long careers, but most of them stay healthy all the time.

Almost subconsciously, Wang Xiao further reduced Curry's playing time, from an average of 35 minutes per game to 32 minutes per game, and would take turns to rest in high-intensity games such as consecutive back-to-back games.

Wang Xiao's special protection for Curry caused Curry's personal data to decline further, from nearly 26 points and 8.5 assists to 23.8 points and 7.9 assists.

Although this data can still rank seventh in the scoring list and fourth in the assists list, compared with the explosive data of the previous two seasons, such personal data is obviously much inferior.

The reduction in Curry's playing time and attendance rate is directly reflected in the team's record.

In the case of facing 11 away games in January, the Wizards efficiently maintained a winning rate of 82%. However, after the increase in home games in February, the Wizards' winning rate decreased instead, and they lost several away games that should not have been lost. .

With the failure of these games that should not have been lost, the Wizards completely lost hope of hitting the winning record. Many fans who expected the Wizards to hit 70 wins this season or even break the Bulls' 72 wins were disappointed.
