The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

"In the past January, the Wizards only lost two games in this month, and looking at the past half of the season, they only lost four games and won a record of 41 wins and 4 losses. In the half-time schedule, can they continue to maintain their current winning percentage, and can they break the Bulls' regular season record of 72 wins?"

...

In the locker room, all the players of the Wizards watched the news about the Wizards broadcast on the sports news, all of them looked happy and excited.

At the beginning of the season, they may still be skeptical of Wang Xiao's rhetoric-breaking the Bulls' record of 72 wins, but now no one will doubt that they can really do it!

Is there anything more exciting than seeing yourself making history firsthand?

"Guys, you did a great job." Wang Xiao looked at the players in front of him with a big smile on his face. "But don't take it lightly. There is still nearly half of the schedule in the regular season, and the second half of the game is definitely more difficult than the first half. If you are not careful, you will fall short!"

Wang Xiao is not alarmist. In the second half of the schedule, those teams that are close to the threshold of the playoffs will fight desperately to win the playoffs.

At the same time, the first half of the schedule also consumes a lot of energy and physical fitness of the players, which will also make it very difficult to play back-to-back or even consecutive back-to-back away games in the second half of the schedule.

"In the next game, I will increase the degree of rotation as appropriate, so that every player can have enough rest time." Wang Xiao looked at the players and said very seriously. "Everyone, please be sure to protect yourself on the field and don't do dangerous moves or behaviors. As long as we can stay healthy, we are invincible!"

...

For a long time, Wang Xiao has always attached great importance and care, paying attention to the health problems of every player. As long as someone feels unwell somewhere in his body, he will simply arrange a rotation or a large-scale inspection.

Many young players on the team were very puzzled and puzzled by Wang Xiao's behavior. After all, the Wizards can be regarded as one of the teams with the youngest average age in the league. The team is full of strong young players. Human beings are less likely to be injured.

Only Wang Xiao knows how many talented players in the league have ruined their entire careers due to injuries.

Derrick Rose, Brandon Roy, even Greg Oden...

The Wizards have the strongest and most luxurious lineup in the league, which also makes the Wizards have only one opponent now, and that is injuries.

As long as everyone is healthy, breaking the Bulls' 72 wins and winning three consecutive championships in the playoffs is within easy reach.

...

However, the sky is unpredictable, and people are in danger.

It's always like this, what to be afraid of...

"Squeak——!"

The hurried whistle sounded, and George clutched his ankle and fell to the ground in pain.

"Oh! My God, Paul is injured! You can see from the slow-motion playback that he accidentally stepped on the instep of his teammate when he hit the layup with the ball and twisted his ankle..."

George, who fell to the ground, looked very painful, unable to stand up at all, and finally limped back to the locker room with the help of the team doctor.

On the sidelines, Wang Xiao's face was ugly.

He didn't expect that even if he tried his best to guard against it, he still couldn't prevent it.

George just had a game off a few days ago, he is physically fit, and he has no problems.

Even in this game, the Wizards' opponent was not a strong team. Wang Xiao also arranged for the shooting guard Thompson to rest, and the team has been leading throughout the game.

This time the injury was a complete accident, like being hit by an out-of-control car while walking down the street.

After George's accidental injury and exit, the Wizards still won the game smoothly, but the team did not have the joy of winning.

Because George's injury report came out, his ankle was severely sprained and he is expected to miss all games of the 13-14 season, including the playoffs.

George is reimbursed for the season!

The news hit the Wizards like a bolt from the blue.

As the team's second-leading scorer, George can contribute close to 23 points per game for the team this season. At the same time, his ability on the defensive end is also very dependent on the team. As a small forward, he can Randomly swinging between the small forward and power forward positions makes the Wizards' lineup more flexible and changeable.

The reimbursement of such an important main player for the season will deal a considerable blow to the Wizards, and it will even directly affect the team's defense.

Fortunately, the most abundant reserves of the Wizards are the talents on the front line.

Draymond Green replaced George as the Wizards' starting power forward and quickly stabilized the situation.

Green's ability on the defensive end is not inferior to George at all, and his defensive style is even tougher than George when facing inside players.

On the offensive end, although the scoring ability is far inferior to George's, the ability to assist and pass the ball with one hand is also slightly inferior to George's.

Green's outstanding performance in the starting position has not greatly affected the Wizards' record, which is beyond many people's expectations.

But Wang Xiao is very clear that there is still a huge gap in strength between George and Green. After all, one has trained under the training module for nearly four years, while the other has only less than two years.

as expected.

On February 18, the Wizards played against the Eagles at home. The Wizards fell into a scoring drought. They only scored 88 points in the game, and finally lost to the Eagles in an upset 88:92.

Immediately afterwards, on February 23, in the away game against the Cavaliers, the Wizards lost the game again 93:96.

Although there was a home victory over the Grizzlies between the two defeats, which did not form a two-game losing streak, but losing two games in such a short period of time is the first time the Wizards have encountered in the past two years.

The Cavaliers who won the game were ecstatic, as if they had found a way to beat the Wizards, and the Wizards fans also panicked.

Green is not George after all. Although he is very good, he can't score like George.

The Wizards' offensive firepower is very strong, very strong.

But this is based on the two splash brothers Curry and Thompson.

Once the Splash Brothers feel cold, the Wizards' offensive rhythm will be deadlocked.

Faced with this situation in the past, George will step up and score for the Wizards with his extremely efficient mid-range shooting, just like Durant of the Warriors in another time and space.

Now, without George, the Wizards don't have a player who can provide consistent scoring output.

Of course, on the Wizards' bench, there are forwards such as Caron Butler, Jimmy Butler and Chandler Parsons, but their scoring efficiency is also not comparable to George.

Without George, the Wizards may still be the strongest team in the league, but it doesn't have the momentum of being invincible like before.
