Chapter Eighty-Five: Five Consecutive Victories
(There's something to do tonight, go home late, maybe the third watch won't be enough, the bottom two watches are still there, and the three watches will be put tomorrow, sorry.) )
"Hey man, this is definitely a clean and nice break! No fouls! Look clearly! ”
Wang Xiao protested to the referee at the first time.
He had just seen it clearly from the sidelines that Beverley's break was definitely not in direct contact with Fry.
Besides, in this case, even if Beverley really fouls, Wang Xiao has to test the pressure to the referee, so that the opponent will subconsciously balance the whistle in the next game.
However, Wang Xiao's deterrent power is obviously not great, and the referee did not pay attention to him at all.
Think about it, although Wang Xiao is the head coach of the Wizards, he is too young, just 30 years old, many NBA players are older than Wang Xiao, plus his Chinese identity, although the recent topic is very high, but in the eyes of the referees, he is obviously just a hairy boy.
In this situation, Wang Xiao could only roll his eyes helplessly.
These are problems that can't be solved by cheating, and he can only use one game win to establish his position in the NBA, so that more people value and respect him, and there is no other way.
On the court, Frye made one of two free throws, and the ball was back in the hands of the Wizards.
The team still followed Wang Xiao's requirements and dragged the pace of the game very slowly, this time Harden chose to divide the ball after breaking through, and Blacch, who received Harden's pass, missed the layup on the inside, and the rebound was won by the Suns.
The Suns, who won the rebound, still failed to play a fast break, the Wizards' retreat was too fast, and Beverley's kraft-like close defense also made Nash a little uncomfortable.
The two sides went back and forth for a few rounds, except for a throw-in from Harden at the beginning and a free throw from Frye, the two teams never scored, but kept hitting the iron or getting stealed.
The pace of the game seemed to slow down all of a sudden, and the huge contrast made many fans confused.
However, this scoring drought cannot last forever.
The first to break the deadlock was Harden.
He hit a three-pointer from long range, then rushed inside to foul and hit both free throws.
While scoring five points alone, the difference between the two teams also flipped up, and the Wizards led the Suns by three points!
D'Antoni finally couldn't help but call a timeout.
In three or four minutes of play, the Sun didn't even score a single run-and-shoot fast attack, which he couldn't accept.
Of course, he knew that the team was overwhelmed by the Wizards' sudden change of style, so this timeout, he wanted to tell the players how to deal with the Wizards' way of forcibly dragging the game into a positional battle and slowing down.
Wang Xiao also knew that D'Antoni would definitely make adjustments after this timeout, so he took advantage of the timeout to replace all the substitute players.
Although the defense of Beverley and others is very good, they have not fully grown up after all, and they are far from being able to compete with a historical point guard like Nash, and it is already very good to be able to block the opponent on the court for a few minutes, and recover the point difference and overtake it.
The remainder of the third quarter, as well as the fourth quarter, will be the most direct reflection of the offensive strength of both teams.
……
As Curry and others came on the court, the pace of the game immediately picked up again, and the running and bombing of both sides began again.
However, it seems that because of Wang Xiao's previous back-and-forth change, the Suns' players seem to feel a little bad, and the Wizards seized the opportunity to play a wave of 12:4 offensive waves, widening the difference to double digits!
The sudden fall in behind meant D'Antoni had to call another timeout to stabilize the situation, but the Wizards held on to a double-digit margin to end the third quarter and remained steady in the fourth quarter of the game, not giving the Suns any more chance until the end of the game.
When the full-time whistle blew, the score was 121-117, with the Suns losing by four points and the Wizards on a five-game winning streak!
The Wizards fans who watched the whole game were confused, they watched a head-to-head battle in a daze, and then saw that the team won, winning five consecutive wins after nearly two years! And it's in the hands of the Suns, a powerhouse in the West.
It's incredible!
The team really isn't as bad as it seems......
A hearty five-game winning streak made many Wizards fans begin to realize this problem, and also made them realize that Wang Xiao seems to be really talented.
At least he didn't lead the team badly, and the rookies he picked did well.
Curry averaged 27 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists per game in 8 games, while Harden contributed 18.4 points and 8.4 assists per game in 8 games, including Danny Green, the second-round pick who started the game, averaged 9.3 points and 3 rebounds per game, and the three rookies averaged nearly 55 points and 12 assists per game.
It's completely unimaginable that when the three of them grow up in the future, what kind of terrifying existence the wizard's backfield will evolve into!
From this point of view, the original trade of champion and Arenas did not seem to be as bad as imagined.
Arenas made a great debut for the Timberwolves, but in the following games, his stats began to gradually decline, although he still contributed 20+ points and 6 assists per game, but his shooting percentage was just over 40%, and he averaged nearly 4 turnovers per game, which was not particularly efficient.
The Timberwolves' record has not improved qualitatively because of the arrival of Arenas.
Arenas, Al. Jefferson plus Kevin. The Big Three have won just three of their eight games.
As for the Clippers, who traded the Wizards for the top pick...... They haven't seen Griffin play in the NBA until now.
It is said that after the general manager of the Clippers saw Curry's explosive performance and Harden's amazing performance on the bench, he immediately scolded Wang Xiao and called Wang Xiao a liar.
Of course, this is just gossip, and no one knows if such a thing has ever happened.
Wang Xiao is cool now, the team has won five consecutive victories, and public opinion about him from all walks of life has changed completely differently, many people have turned to a wait-and-see attitude from the brainless spray at the beginning, and some media who want to earn eyeballs have begun to write articles that Wang Xiao is actually a very powerful coach.
Compared with these, Wang Xiao is happiest that the team has achieved the first task of the Super Coach System milestone mode with five consecutive wins.
The 1,000 victory points arrived along with the 100 points obtained from the victory over the Suns, and Wang Xiao suddenly changed from an almost poor and white poor man to a rich man with a little capital.
