The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

An away loss to the Mavericks is not an unacceptable thing for the Wizards. This is a strong team that has maintained more than 50 wins in the regular season since 2001, and it is still in the more competitive West.

However, Wang Xiao's stubbornness in keeping Curry on the court in this game was still dissatisfied by many people.

"As the head coach of a team, this guy doesn't know how to be flexible at all. It is obvious that Curry is extremely inefficient under Kidd's defense, but he still stubbornly lets Curry play the main attack on the court."

"He is such a coach. When he was at Harvard, the main players of the team were only Jeremy Lin and Plaine, and the rotation was very small."

"I hope he can summarize the reasons for his failure after the game and make some new changes in the next game."

Obviously, the expectations of these people were about to be disappointed.

The second game of the Wizards is still an away game. They fly to Atlanta to challenge the Eagles away.

Compared with the Mavericks, the Eagles are obviously better to deal with. Although the Eagles also have an All-Star like Joe Johnson and two players with full potential, Josh Smith and Al Horford, the team is relatively young after all.

Logically speaking, in this game, the Wizards playing away games should have the strength to fight.

But the result was completely one-sided.

From the beginning of the game, the Wizards were in a backward situation. They kept chasing points throughout the game, and finally lost the game 106:109.

In this game, Curry still started the game, played 35 minutes in the game, made 7 of 22 shots, and 2 of 11 three-pointers. Although he scored 20+ points again, his efficiency was still too low.

People couldn't understand why Wang Xiao insisted on putting Curry on the court when his scoring efficiency was so low.

At the same time, some professional basketball analysts found that the problem did not only appear in Curry alone, but the entire Wizards team had problems.

In these two games, the Wizards team made 37 three-pointers in the first game, but only hit 11 goals, and the shooting rate was 29.7%.

In the second game against the Hawks, the Wizards actually intensified. They made a total of 40 three-pointers and hit 13 goals. Although the shooting percentage increased from 29.7% to 32.5%, this level is still not enough for the team to win.

What happened to the Wizards? Is Wang Xiao crazy?

This is already more than one time that Wang Xiao has been questioned whether he is crazy, because every behavior of him is inexplicable and incomprehensible to people nowadays.

Just like when he gave up Oden to choose Durant and traded Arenas in this year's draft.

Also no one understands, what is the crazy three-pointer trying to do?

"What exactly does Wang Xiao want the Wizards to do? Do you want to use three-pointers to win? I have to say that Wang Xiao's ideas are really wild. If I want the team to win, I can give him some advice. Do a good job defending the team, the current Wizards defense is a mess, it's terrible."

This is what a certain basketball commentator said in an interview.

In today's league, it is generally accepted that defense wins games.

Even with the emergence of Nash and the Suns, the run-and-bomb tactics appeared in the eyes of everyone, but this concept has not been reversed.

In the two years when the Suns were strongest, the regular season was indeed almost invincible, but what about the playoffs?

The best result is only the Western Conference finals, and I have never made it to the finals.

The Suns are like this, let alone a wizard with an inexplicable lineup?

And even in the Suns' run-and-gun tactics, three-pointers accounted for only a little more than 20% of shots. Unlike the current Wizards, almost half of the shots in a game come from three-pointers.

The defensive strength can't keep up, and he always shoots three-pointers from the outside. It's no wonder if he doesn't lose!

After the two regular season games, whenever Wang Xiao and the Wizards were mentioned, people shook their heads.

"If Wang Xiao doesn't adjust the team's tactics as soon as possible to strengthen the defense, it is estimated that his time as the head coach of the Wizards will also enter the countdown."

There has always been only one factor that determines a coach's career, and that is grades.

Last season, the Wizards changed two coaches in a row.

Head coach Eddie Jordan was kicked out after 10 losses in the first 11 games, and Ed Tapscott, who replaced him, did not improve the Wizards' record, so he was also fired after the season ended.

The current Wang Xiao is shouldering the important task of revitalizing the Wizards and taking the position of head coach of the team. In one summer, Wang Xiao has done a lot of things, traded the No. 1 pick, and traded the team's core ace Ali Nass.

If he can't produce satisfactory results in the new season, then Wang Xiao will have to follow in the footsteps of his predecessors. The question is how long he will leave.

In this case, the Wizards lost their third regular season game against the Nets at home.

The first two games were played against strong teams in the league, and they were still playing away games. The loss was tolerable, but this time the opponent at home was the Nets! Kidd left the team last season, and only Carter led the Nets to the fifth-worst record in the Eastern Conference. This season, even Carter left, and the Nets have completely become a bottom team. Since the start of the new season, the Nets Like the Wizards, the Nets also lost two games in a row, but after facing the Wizards, the Nets actually won!

This time, almost all Wizards fans were blown up!

Many fans began to gather in front of the Wizards arena to protest as they did during the draft, demanding that Wang Xiao dismiss get out of class.

"We don't need a Chinese coach, he doesn't understand anything at all!"

"Let Wang Xiao go! We want to win! We don't want to be defeated!"

After losing three games in a row at the beginning, and even losing to a team that is not favored by all the media and is expected to be the bottom of the league this season, Wang Xiao has been pushed to the forefront.

Just turn on any sports TV station, and you can see discussions about the Wizards coach Wang Xiao, and basically all kinds of belittling, discussing what kind of medicine the Wizards boss took to make him choose to let him go. Wang Xiao is the head coach of the team.

Arenas, who was traded to the Timberwolves by Wang Xiao himself, also made remarks in public to add insult to injury.

"I think there is a huge gap between Asian coaches like Wang Xiao and American coaches in terms of coaching level. Although he has made great achievements in the NCAA, those achievements cannot be separated from Jeremy Lin, Plain and Dunn. A young man with potential, he does not have the magical coaching ability that people imagine, he is just an ordinary person who does not deserve his name."

After the start of the new season, Arenas, who returned from injury, made a perfect debut in the Timberwolves.

He scored 29 points and 9 assists in the first game, 23 points and 4 assists in the second game, and 25 points and 3 assists in the third game.

At the end of the three regular season games, Arenas averaged 25.7 points and 5 assists per game. The fans became more and more angry when they saw Arenas' wonderful performance.

"Arenas was on our side! Blame that goddamn bastard! The Wizards are messed up by him!"
