"In January, the Wizards have only lost two games in this month, and looking at the past half of the season, they have only lost four games, with a 41-4 record, and in the second half of the season, will they be able to 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 looked at the news about the Wizards broadcast in the sports news, and they were all happy and excited.

At the beginning of the season, they may have been skeptical of Wang's rhetoric of 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?

"Guys, you're doing a great job." Wang Xiao looked at the players in front of him with a smile on his face. "But don't take it lightly, there is still nearly half of the regular season, and the second half of the game is definitely much more difficult to deal with than the first half, and the slightest mistake 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 in order to reach the playoffs.

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

"In the next games, I will increase the level of rotation as appropriate, so that each player can have plenty of rest." Wang Xiao looked at the players and said very seriously and seriously. "Everyone, please be sure to protect yourself on the field, don't do dangerous actions or behaviors, as long as you can stay healthy, we are invincible!"

……

Wang Xiao has always attached great importance to and careful, paying attention to the health of every player, as long as someone is unwell somewhere, he will simply arrange a rotation or large-scale examination.

Many young players in the team are very puzzled and puzzled by Wang Xiao's behavior, after all, the Wizards can be regarded as one of the youngest teams in the league with an average age, and the team is full of strong young people, and the probability of injury is not great.

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

Derek. Rose, Brandon. Roy, and even Greg. Oden......

The Wizards have the strongest and most luxurious roster in the league, which makes the only opponent for the Wizards now, and that is injury.

As long as we ensure the health of all players, break the Bulls' 72 wins, and win the playoffs to win three consecutive championships.

……

However, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good fortunes and misfortunes.

It's often always like this, afraid of what's coming......

"Squeak Squeak——!"

A quick whistle sounded, and George clutched his ankles and fell to the ground in pain.

"Oh! Oh my God, Paul is hurt! Through the slow-motion replay, it can be seen that when he landed on the layup with the ball, he accidentally stepped on the instep of his teammate, and then twisted his ankle......"

George, who fell to the ground, looked so painful that he was completely unable to get up, 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 he couldn't prevent it despite all the precautions.

George had just been off for a game the other day and was fit enough to have no problems with himself.

Even in this game, the opponent of the Wizards was not a strong team, Wang Xiao also arranged for Thompson, who was a point guard, to take a rotation, and the team was in the lead throughout the game.

This time the injury was completely an accident, like going out and walking down the street and being hit by an out-of-control car.

After George left the court with an unexpected injury, the Wizards still won the game smoothly, but the team did not have the joy of winning.

Because George's injury report came out, he suffered a severe ankle sprain and is expected to miss all of the 13-14 season, including the playoffs.

George Season Reimbursement!

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

As the team's No. 2 scorer, George has averaged nearly 23 points per game this season, and his ability on the defensive end is also something the team relies on.

The season reimbursement of such an important main player will be quite a big blow to the Wizards, and it will even directly affect the team's title defense.

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

Drummond. 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's, and his defensive style is even tougher than George's when facing interior players.

Although the scoring ability on the offensive end is far inferior to George, the ability to assist and pass the ball with one hand is also slightly inferior to George.

Green's outstanding performance in the starting position made the Wizards' record not greatly affected, which surprised many people.

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

Sure enough.

On February 18, the Wizards played at home against the Hawks, and the Wizards fell into a scoring drought, scoring only 88 points in the game, and finally lost to the Hawks 88-92.

Then, on February 23, in the rematch against the Cavaliers, the Wizards lost the game again 93-96.

Although the two defeats were separated by a home win over the Grizzlies, and there were no two consecutive defeats, losing two games in such a short period of time was the first time the Wizards had encountered it in two years.

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

Green wasn't George after all, and while he was good, he couldn't score like George.

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

But that's built on Curry and Thompson, the two splash brothers.

Once the Splash Brothers' hands are cold, then the Wizards' offensive tempo will be at an impasse.

In the past, George would step up and score for the Wizards with his highly efficient mid-range shots, much like the Warriors' Durant in another plane.

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

Of course, on the Wizards' bench, there's Cuarón. Butler, Jimmy. Butler and Chandler. Parsons and other forwards, but their scoring efficiency is also not comparable to George's.

Without George, the Wizards may still be the strongest team in the league, but they don't have the invincible momentum they had before.
