As the time enters April, the NBA regular season has also come to the last and most tense and crazy period.

The tight and dense schedule of the shortened season has fatigued all players around the league, and the Wizards, Bulls, Spurs and other teams have lost more games due to their consistently high win percentages, which has forced them to fight harder for playoff spots.

After all, out of the 30 teams in the league, only 16 teams can make it to the Eastern and Western finals.

This time period is undoubtedly the most dangerous period, even if the Wizards are careless, they will usher in a wave of consecutive defeats and directly lose the first place in the league.

What worries Wang Xiao the most is the health of the players.

In order to be able to compete for a playoff spot, many teams will play more aggressively at this time.

The current lineup of the Wizards is perfect in Wang Xiao's opinion, and Leonard's progress and growth have also made this lineup even more perfect, and the only thing that can beat this team now is injury.

Injuries are always the biggest problem affecting a team.

In the Wizards' starting lineup, no matter who misses the playoffs due to injury, it is an irreparable loss for Wang Xiao.

Curry and others don't need to say much, even Javier, who only plays about 25 minutes per game. McGee is also important, at least at the current stage of the team, Whiteside's blocking, rebounding and mobility are essential parts of the team.

Because of such concerns, Wang Xiao was extra careful when using Curry and others in the April game.

Wang Xiao can't help it accidentally, although these guys on the Wizards team are all talented and amazingly talented, almost all of them have a history of serious injuries, especially Curry, the 11-12 season should have been the most serious injury period for Curry.

Wang Xiao has always been a little worried, and the coaching system does not have any modules that can effectively prevent or treat injuries, and I have not seen it in the lottery.

If the system had a similar function, he wouldn't have been so cautious.

However, the current system functions are buggy enough, not only there are growth template cards that directly change the potential of players, there are training modules that can improve the training effect of players, and there are tactical modules that can directly strengthen the tactical effect of players on the field.

It can be said that if there is no system, even if Wang Xiao also selects players such as Curry, there is no way for them to grow up in such a short time.

Fortunately, the risk is not just for the Wizards, but for the entire league.

Dwight of the Magic. Howard, Knicks' Amare. Stoudemire, Derrick of the Bulls. Rose as well as Celtic Ray. Allen and other players have suffered injuries of varying degrees this season, some of which are due to age, and some are caused by the importance of tactical positions in the team and overwork.

Among them, Wang Xiao is most worried about Ross.

The butterfly wings instigated by her presence did not change the experience of the Windy City Rose.

In the 11-12 season, Rose suffered injuries due to excessive playing time and frequent basket attacks.

Rose has played in just 27 of his 51 games, and in April, Rose will return from injury.

Because of his appearance, the Wizards became the No. 1 team in the East, and because of this, the Bulls will not play against the 76ers in the first round of the playoffs.

Wang Xiao doesn't know if Rose will tear his cruciate ligament without playing against the 76ers. Judging from Thibodeau's high-frequency use of Rose, I am afraid that even if he does not play against the 76ers, it will be a matter of time before Rose suffers a serious injury, after all, his style of play is still too fierce and direct.

In April, for the sake of insurance, Wang Xiao also wanted Curry to rest for a few more games, but the premise was that it would not affect Curry's honor of competing for the regular season MVP.

So far, Curry is averaging 31 points per game, which is the highest in the league and nearly two points above Durant, who is in second place.

He averages 6.8 assists per game, which is not high among point guards, but he can also rank among the top 10 assists in the league.

Coupled with the team's excellent record, Curry has always been in the top three of the league's MVP list, and most of the time he is in the first place.

Attendance and contribution to the team's victory are also one of the important reference criteria for the regular season MVP selection, although Wang Xiao wants to protect Curry from injury, but also does not want Curry to be out of the regular season MVP selection because of too many missed games.

So far, the top three in the NBA regular season MVP list are Curry, who averages 31 points and 6.8 assists per game, James who averages 27 points, 8 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game, and Durant, who averages 29 points, 8 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game.

In another time and space, James defeated Durant and was voted the MVP of the regular season in the 11-12 season.

Compared with the statistics of the two, although Durant's score is higher, he is inferior in other aspects, whether it is assist ability, defensive ability, or even the team's contribution to winning games is not as good as James.

Because of this, Durant, who led the Thunder to 47 wins, lost to James, who led the Heat to 46 wins.

But this season, although Durant is also in the top three of the MVP list, he has basically been declared out.

Because although the Trail Blazers have the Big Three of Durant, Aldridge and Jordan Jr., their record is not as good as the Thunder three in another time and space, plus Ibaka and Kendrick. Perkins has two interior defensive titans to do well.

Although there are still about 15 games left in April, the Trail Blazers' record is basically only guaranteed to be around 42-44 wins.

Such a record is inherently at a disadvantage in the MVP selection.

Basically, the regular season MVP will be born in Curry and James, and Wang Xiao prefers Curry.

Curry is his own disciple, and there is naturally nothing wrong with him, but more importantly, Curry is really strong this year, and his dominance on the court is almost comparable to that of the 73-win Warriors in the 15-16 season.

Averaging five three-pointers per game on nearly 45 percent shooting, if this weren't a shrinking season, he could just break the single-season three-point shooting record he set last season, and the kind that will be greatly broken.

Once Curry wins back-to-back regular-season MVP, he will be the third point guard in the league to win the regular-season MVP two years in a row, an honor that would be extremely appealing to anyone.

Wang Xiao had no reason not to support his disciple to compete for this award.
