The opening game of the regular season of the Wizards was against the Dallas Mavericks, a veteran powerhouse in the West, and in 06 the core of the team Nowitzki led the team to the Finals, but lost to the supergod Wade, and then was eliminated early by the Warriors in the first round of the playoffs the following year.

The current Mavericks team has a lineup that tends to be perfect, and if there is no intervention from Wang Xiao, Tyson will be introduced next year. After Chandler, the Mavericks, who have reached a perfect run-in lineup, will go all the way to the finals again, and then face the Heat who make up the Big Three to complete their revenge.

The vast majority of people don't look at curiosity.

Even in the era of Arenas, when the Wizards faced the Mavericks, they won less and lost more, not to mention the current Wizards who couldn't even tell who the core was.

……

In Dallas, in the locker room of the Routes Center Gymnasium, Wang Xiao looked at the players who were changing clothes and took a deep breath.

To be honest, this is the first time he has stood on the venue of an official NBA game as a head coach, and it would be false to say that he is not nervous, although he has fantasized about such a scene countless times, but when this day comes, he still can't help but feel his heart beat faster.

"Guys, this is the regular season, it's not the same as the summer league and the preseason, it's going to be for real!" Looking around at the players, Wang Xiao raised his voice and said: "This is my first official game in the NBA as a head coach, and the same is true for some of you, don't be nervous, stay focused, work hard to fight every ball, come on!" ”

Harden immediately nodded and said, "That's right, coach!" We've got to win this game, it's the first win of our NBA career! ”

"That's right! them! ”

The atmosphere in the dressing room was lively and the players looked excited.

But Wang Xiao's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Although he was a little nervous, he was still very attentive to the state of each player, and he keenly noticed that Curry was a little silent today, which was somewhat inconsistent with his usual out-of-the-box personality.

"Is it nervous?"

Wang Xiao stepped forward and patted Curry on the shoulder.

"Don't be too nervous, it's just one game, you're going to play at least 82 games this season, maybe more."

"Okay, Coach." Curry nodded, a small smile on his face.

After seeing that the time was about the same, Wang Xiao clapped his hands and said, "Okay, get ready to appear and show you to the world!" ”

The official regular season is far more focused on than the preseason in terms of attention and other aspects.

The Mavericks' home stadium was almost full, and the loud noise felt very different from the preseason game.

The live DJ introduced the home team's Mavericks' starters, Kidd and Nowitzki, in a very passionate tone, and the appearance of these stars caused a cheer in the stadium.

This kind of occasion is not particularly friendly to rookies such as Curry, whose first game is on the road, after all, they have only seen such scenes in the audience or in front of TV in the past, but now, they are standing on the court and as the away team.

Sure enough, as soon as the game began, the team fell into passivity.

In the opening jump shot, Haywood jumped the ball successfully, and Curry got the basketball to quickly control the ball and advance.

Standing in front of him was Jason. Kidd, legendary point guard, Jeremy Lin's template prototype.

"Yo, boy, welcome to the NBA."

Looking at Curry, Kidd said hello.

"Thank you." Curry nodded in gratitude, but Kidd laughed the next moment.

"It's not just a greeting to you, the NBA is a brutal arena."

As he spoke, Kidd took a step forward suddenly, and the whole person stuck to Curry's body, and his hand poked at the basketball in Curry's hand like lightning.

Curry was slightly stunned, but his instinct as a point guard allowed him to protect the ball in an instant, and caught a glimpse of Kidd's gap in an instant.

The so-called close-knit pressing, once you get too close, it will naturally reveal the gap for breakthrough.

Curry dribbled the ball neatly behind his back, and when he lowered his body, he passed Kidd and rushed inside.

But before he could take two steps, Curry sensed something was wrong.

Afterglow swept to the side, and Curry saw Kidd right behind him.

"Keeping up?"

Slightly stunned, Curry immediately understood that the reason why he was able to pass Kidd so easily was that the other party deliberately put himself half a step forward and let himself hit the basket?

The next moment, Curry felt that he was being held up by a force in his waist, and he couldn't sprint with his strength, at this speed, even if he rushed into the inside, there would be no threat!

"That's it!"

Curry gritted his teeth and made a sudden jump stop, trying to make a jump shot that was out of position due to the time difference.

But at the moment when he closed the ball, a powerful palm slapped on the basketball with great precision, and the momentum was so strong that Curry couldn't grasp the basketball and came out of his hand.

And Kidd, the owner of this hand, immediately grabbed the basketball.

"Kidd! Nice break! This is followed by a long pass! Marion receives a pass from Kidd and lays up! Pretty! Score! ”

The commentator was passionately explaining on the side, but Wang Xiao frowned again.

After a poor away debut, another unfortunate situation happened.

Jason. Kidd, among all the point guards in the league at the moment, this guy's defense is definitely the best, even Jeremy Lin, who uses template cards, may not be as good.

Although Kidd has lost his agility and agility as he has grown older, his strength has not diminished at all, and his experience has become more and more mature.

Curry met such an old monster in his first official game, and his luck was really bad!

Wang Xiao couldn't help but think about how good it would be if the Wizards' opponent in the first regular season game was the Suns, with Nash's defensive ability, it would definitely make Curry play confident.

Come to think of it, Wang Xiao can't sit on the sidelines and watch the excitement like in the previous preseason.

He stood up and walked to the sidelines.

"Oh? We saw Wang Xiao stand up! He actually stood up at the beginning of the game to direct the game on the sidelines? It is said that he sat on the bench in a daze during the preseason games, and many people wondered if Wang Xiao would only cheer for the players in his seat, but now it seems that this is not the case......

"Hey, Stephen! Across from you is Kidd! Are you ready to go head-to-head with him? Use your brains! How do you practice in your daily training? ”

Hearing Wang Xiao's words, Curry nodded, and after controlling the ball for half court, facing Kidd again, Curry's eyes looked inside.

Haywood, who was stuck in the middle of the line, immediately pulled out and helped Curry block the pick-and-roll.

Pick-and-roll tactics have always been the simplest and most practical tactics in the league, especially for a dual-energy position like Curry, who can shoot and pass.

After Haywood's wide body blocked Kidd, Curry immediately dribbled to a better position and then made a quick three-point shot.

The basketball arced across the sky, then ......

Box ——!
