Chapter 232: Arrange a rotation in advance
After six straight wins, the Wizards finally suffered their first loss of the season.
In the away game against the Portland Trail Blazers, the Wizards lost the game 107-113.
There were many reasons for the loss of this game, such as Wang Xiao arranged for George's rotation to take a break from the game and put Chandler. Parsons stepped into the starting line-up.
Parsons is 2.06 meters tall and weighs 103 kilograms, which is stronger than George, but his strength is obviously not comparable to George, who has been trained by Wang Xiao's training system for a season.
In this game, Curry did not feel good, scoring only 23 points on 7-of-24 shooting in the game, while Durant on the opposite side showed an inexplicable offensive ability, efficiently scoring 37 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists.
In addition, Jordan Jr., a new member of the Trail Blazers, also showed strong defensive dominance on the inside, with 9 points, 17 rebounds and 4 blocks to completely blow up McGee, who was opposite him, and 7 of them were higher than the entire Wizards.
Although he lost the game, Wang Xiao didn't take it to heart, after all, even if Curry didn't feel good, the final score gap was only 6 points, and if George played in this game, it would be difficult to say whether he would win or lose.
Because the team lost because of the rotation of players, Wang Xiao did not learn any lessons, but followed in the eighth game, and then took Curry again.
However, because it was a home game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, who had a poor record in the league, the Wizards won the game at home.
In the two games, the two main players were rested in rotation, Wang Xiao's approach made many people puzzled, the regular season is just the beginning, there are no injuries, what is there to rest.
But Wang Xiao didn't think so.
The biggest factor in injury is fatigue, and the intensity of the 11-12 season's reduced schedule is no joke.
Wang Xiao would rather sacrifice part of his record and hope that the players can ensure their health.
Curry, George, Leonard and these players all have a history of serious injuries in the future, although the time, place and even the reason may not be able to make up, and the season reimbursement like Leonard is still caused by the footing, but there is no problem with being careful to sail the boat for 10,000 years.
Wang Xiao plans that the team's starting lineup will take at least 5 games off this season to get plenty of rest.
And the depth of the current Wizards' lineup is enough for Wang Xiao to be a wayward rotational anchor.
Among the point guards were Beverley, who had been playing for two years, and the newly drafted 1.75 meters.
Isaiah. Although Thomas has a huge disadvantage in the NBA in terms of height, since joining the NBA, he has never averaged less than 10 points per game. In the first season, he averaged 25.5 minutes per game, averaging 11.5 points and 4 assists per game, and in the second season, he played 26.9 minutes per game, averaging 13.9 points and 4.0 assists per game, and in the third season, after sitting in the main core, his playing time increased to 34.6 minutes in the normal starter, and his average data per game skyrocketed to 20.3 points and 6.3 assists, like an All-Star point guard.
He and Beverley play an offensive and defensive pair, which can almost perfectly fill the team's need for starting point guards in Curry's absence.
The situation is similar in other positions, the scoring guard has Caron and Jimmy, the two swing men, and the forward position has Jamison and Parsons, I'm afraid the only shortcoming is the inside, but this position also has Whiteside and Yi Jianlian.
……
mentioned Yi Jianlian, I have to talk about it in passing.
The regular season has been played for 8 games, and as an inside substitute, Yi Jianlian has also gained a certain amount of playing time.
In 8 games, Yi Jianlian played an average of 14 minutes per game, and could contribute an average of 4 points and 2 rebounds per game.
This is definitely not an excellent data, and even if it is Yi Jianlian, this data is also a career low.
Such a situation was completely unexpected by Wang Xiao.
With Yi Jianlian's ability, it is indeed difficult to survive in the NBA, without his intervention, Yi Jianlian will eventually join the Mavericks with a base salary this season, playing an average of 6.8 minutes per game, only contributing 2.6 points and 1.6 rebounds, and then returning to the CBA to play after this failed season.
Now in the Wizards, although the data is not as good as in previous seasons, when Yi Jianlian is on the court, it is valuable, especially when Yi Jianlian appears in the center position, and then settles on the outside to form a range threat, which is very deterrent to other teams.
At this stage, Yi Jianlian's personal strength needs to be improved, and the Wizards' rebounding protection itself is already very passive, so it is not suitable to give him more playing time, but it is difficult to say what will happen in the future, because Wang Xiao did not feel a little distressed to give Yi Jianlian and Curry, George and Leonard the same level of treatment, that is, the training bonus of the trinity of training module + special training + training reinforcement card.
is also Chinese, Wang Xiao still hopes that Yi Jianlian can make achievements in the NBA.
The bonus effect of the training system is gradually reflected through the accumulation of training, and Yi Jianlian, who has only been with the Wizards for a month, naturally cannot soar into the sky in an instant, just like Jimmy. Butler, although he knows that he is strong in the future and can even play against Leonard, George and others, but now, he is the undisputed weakest player on the team.
At the moment, even Chandler. Parsons, too, outperformed Butler on the field and in daily training.
Although the draft pick was lower than Butler, Parsons was significantly better than Butler in all aspects, such as height, arm span, shooting consistency, defensive experience and awareness......
Of course, Parsons' story after that can be described as a household name, five years later, Butler has firmly sat in the position of the Bulls' main core, averaging 20+6+5 all-round data per game, and was selected as an All-Star and the All-Defensive Team three times, while Parsons, who has a much higher starting point than Butler, has become a model of the league's high-paid and incompetent, and does not work after taking a salary.
Wang Xiao is too lazy to think about what will happen in five years, and at present, he just wants to be optimistic about the present.
Parsons is now better and better than Butler, so he gets a better chance on the field than Jimmy Butler. Butler is more, it's that simple.
As for Jimmy. Butler, if he can't rise because he has played less minutes, doesn't deserve to be called "the hardest player."
On the Wizards, due to congestion at the forward position, Jimmy. Butler may play less minutes in games, but the Wizards also have an advantage that other teams don't have - the training bonus of the training module, which is very important for Jimmy. For a hard-working guy like Butler, there's nothing more suitable for him than the effectiveness of his training.
