Throughout the month of November, the Wizards maintained an extremely high winning rate, with a total of 12 wins and 2 losses in 14 games, and continued to lead the league in terms of record.

The Lakers, who are the favorites to win the championship, have only an 8-8 record in 16 games, ranking 12th in the West.

Kobe Bryant is desperate, averaging 29.4 points, 5.4 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game in 16 games, but except for Kobe, the Lakers other players cannot maintain a high competitive state.

Howard averaged only 17.1 points and 12 rebounds per game, the lowest in both scoring and rebounding since '06, while Paul Gasol, another interior tower, lost his position as an interior player due to Howard's arrival, averaging 14.2 points per game from 17.4 points last season.

When the two are on the court at the same time, the Lakers' interior is not even as lethal as the Gasol + Bynum twin tower combination last season.

……

As of the end of November, Bryant topped the scoring list with 29.4 points per game, followed by Carmelo Anthony with 29.1 points, Durant in third with 28.6 points, Harden in fourth with 28 points, and James in fifth with 26 points.

Curry, the Wizards' leading scorer, left the top three scoring spots for the first time in two years and ranks sixth in the league with 25.4 points per game.

Curry's scoring is inevitable, as other teams understand the characteristics of his style of play, they will inevitably design targeted defensive tactics, three-point shooting is indeed the most powerful way to score on the basketball court, but there are also many ways to target.

If Curry ignores it and forces his shots, it will not be difficult to continue to average 30+ points per game, but if that happens, the offensive efficiency will inevitably be affected.

In another time and space, Curry's career shooting rate has never been lower than 45% as of 19 years, and even more than 49% for several seasons, that is, the three-point shooting rate is 43.6%, on the one hand, because Curry's shooting accuracy is unprecedented in history, on the other hand, Curry's shooting choice is reasonable.

If the team needs to score, Curry will definitely not be soft, but the current Wizards, although Curry is the first scoring point, he is not the only scoring point.

George and Thompson's offensive ability has improved a lot, especially Thompson, who has averaged 20.3 points per game so far this season, which is even higher than George's average of 18.7 points per game!

Not to mention these two, even Leonard's scoring ability has also made great progress this season, and the training bonus effect of the training module is really subtle, which will greatly improve the strength of the players.

The improvement in the scoring ability of the rest of the team also makes Curry happy to give offensive opportunities to his teammates.

It's just that in this way, it will be a bit difficult for Curry to continue to compete for the regular season MVP.

Elected as the regular season MVP for two consecutive years, there is already aesthetic fatigue, and it is difficult for Curry to stand out from the regular season MVP selection if he does not have explosive personal data and team records in the new season.

At least for now, Curry is outside the top five in the regular season MVP power list, with James, Durant, Harden and others all ranked above him.

Curry is still interested in winning his third regular-season MVP, surpassing Nash and tying Magic Johnson, but for the sake of the team, Curry can make sacrifices.

As a rookie in '09, Curry's rookie contract will officially expire in July '13, and the Wizards have now begun to draw up a contract extension for Curry.

This contract extension is definitely not a small deal.

Curry's regular season MVP for the second year in a row has triggered the Curry clause (Rose clause), and his contract extension will be the top of the list that can be reached.

The first player to enjoy Curry's terms, Kevin . Durant's starting salary in the 11-12 season was $15.51 million, and this season, his salary reached $16.67 million, which is unmatched by players of his age.

With the salary cap adjusted for the new '13 season, Curry's contract will only be bigger than Durant's.

Curry's contract renewal, Wang Xiao will not ask, that is a headache for general manager Glenfield, with Curry holding two regular season MVPs, a Finals MVP, two regular season scoring champions, and the momentum in the league, if Glenfield collapses on the issue of contract renewal, then the owner of the Wizards will definitely let him go around.

……

Entering December, the Wizards' schedule is a little unfriendly, although another wave of three consecutive home games is very comfortable, but in mid-December, there is a wave of five consecutive home games, and back-to-back against the Heat, Spurs and Knicks.

It's not good that the Wizards have a big business now, and there are many players on the bench who can be reused.

So from the beginning of December, Wang Xiao began to arrange a rotation rest, and Curry, George, Thompson and Leonard all got rotation opportunities one after another.

Get extra starts, like Jimmy. Butler, Thomas Jr., Parsons and others are very satisfied, after all, they are different from Curry and others, they were born in the first round and even the second round, they were positioned as substitute rotation players when they entered the NBA, and several of them are still sophomore rookies, both in terms of strength and qualifications.

But...... In the Wizards' seemingly more harmonious locker room, there was a little discordant sound.

Hassan. Whiteside, the Wizards' current starting center, has been a bit uncomfortable lately.

When he first entered the Wizards, he was the No. 3 backup center, a backup to backup center McGee, and occasionally appeared at the power forward position to help the team protect rebounds.

And last season, Jordan Jr. left the team, McGee became the starting center, he became a regular backup center, and his playing time has increased a lot.

In the new season, McGee also left the team for a big contract, and Whiteside stayed up for two years and finally came out and became the starting center of the Wizards.

The jubilant Whiteside was outstanding, even better than his previous starter, McGee.

So far in the new season, Whiteside has averaged 7.8 points, 11.6 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game, and this statistic is obtained in an average of 28 minutes per game.

This also makes Whiteside feel very good, because as a second-round pick, Whiteside signed a 2+1 contract with the Wizards, and this year is precisely his contract year.

Don't look at the Wizards' interior line, which has always been a weakness, but this team has produced centers who have signed big contracts for three consecutive years.

Brandon, who signed with the Mavericks in 10 years in free agency. Haywood.

DeAndrew, who signed a fat contract with the Trail Blazers in 11 years. Jordan.

In addition, Javier, who also signed a contract with an annual salary of 10 million after leaving this year. Mcgee.

Now, his goal for Whiteside is to become the fourth Wizards center to receive a multi-million annual salary.

……

However, there was only one thing that made him very unhappy.

That's the rookie player drafted by the Wizards this year, Drummond. Green.
