Chapter 150: Paul. George

"Bang bang...... Bang bang bang...... Syllable! ”

In the training hall, the sound of the basketball hitting the ground and touching the basket is constantly sounding, as if it is rhythmic percussion.

Hearing this voice, Wang Xiao, who had just walked into the stadium, was quite surprised.

And when he walked to the front of the training gym, he saw Paul sweating on the court. George, relieved again.

At this time, apart from George, I am afraid that no other player will choose to come to the stadium to practice.

It's not that Curry and others don't train hard enough, but today Wang Xiao has given all the players a day off.

Finally survived the arduous four-game visit, Wang Xiao naturally knows the truth of combining work and rest, and it is impossible for the physically and mentally exhausted players to immediately devote themselves to high-intensity training.

And even during the holidays, George still came to the stadium to continue training.

There was no assistant coach to assist, no trainer, just he trained silently by himself.

"Paul, today is the holiday, you should stay home and enjoy the rest."

Wang Xiao was very satisfied with George's hard work, but he was not particularly in favor of such hard training.

After all, overly tired muscles are one of the main killers of injuries on the field.

Hearing Wang Xiao's voice, George was slightly stunned, and when he looked back, he was also a little stunned when he saw Wang Xiao.

"Coach ......"

But he reacted immediately, and smiled a little shyly.

"I can't be idle at home, so I want to come over and practice, not to mention that my current level is still far behind, and I can't be a little slack in training."

Wang Xiao nodded, very satisfied with George's answer.

To be reasonable, George's performance has gotten better and better as the season has progressed, and it seems that George has suddenly grown a lot after the Heat's battle against James.

In the previous Hell Four Consecutive Visitors, in order to ensure that the main force was not too tired, Wang Xiao used a large number of rotation lineups, and George's playing time also increased further, and he did not disappoint Wang Xiao and performed very well.

Although the average data per game is not as good as Butler, if you average the game time and compare the efficiency value, George has surpassed Butler and Jamison, and is second only to Curry Harden and Jordan Jr. in the Wizards.

George's growth is completely in line with Wang Xiao's expectations, and he originally planned to let George replace Butler as the starting small forward after this season.

By the end of the season, Butler would have turned 31.

This age is considered an advanced age for many players, and Butler is no exception.

In fact, if it weren't for Wang Xiao's intervention to instigate the butterfly wings, Butler would have been traded to the Mavericks by the Wizards last season, and with the Mavericks, Butler only played 29 games this season and was reimbursed for the season due to a right knee injury.

In the next two years, although Butler could still play as the main starter, whether it was playing time, personal data or efficiency, it has shrunk to a great extent.

Because Wang Xiao knows this history, he has been extra careful when using Butler this season, not only strictly controlling his playing time, but also drastically cutting Butler's favorite impact basket tactics, making him an almost pure outside shooter.

But even so, Butler's competitive form is still slowly declining, even faster than Jamison, who is five years his senior.

Fortunately, Wang Xiao found Butler's replacement in time.

Paul. George.

In another time and space, George, who has fully grown up in only three years, is definitely a better player than Butler, and with the bonus effect of Wang Xiao's training module and deliberate training, this time will undoubtedly be shortened.

"Well, be sure to rest well and don't get hurt."

Wang Xiao smiled with relief, then explained, and prepared to go to the office to be busy.

"That...... Instructor. ”

At this moment, George's slightly hesitant voice rang out.

"Huh? What's wrong? Wang Xiao turned his head to look.

George was holding the basketball in his hand, sweat running down his forehead, and his expression was a little hesitant, as if he was struggling with something, and after a pause, he continued: "In two weeks, we will meet the Heat again, that ...... Can I play against James again? ”

A glint flashed in Wang Xiao's eyes.

He could see how much courage George had mustered when he said this.

The last time against the Heat on the road, although the Wizards won the final victory, James's super performance of 42 points still made many fans talk about it.

At that time, it was Butler and George who defended James.

Butler and James have been playing against each other for many years, and they have been blown up I don't know how many times, so they are naturally used to it, but George, who is only a first-year rookie, has encountered such a situation for the first time.

Although the team won in the end, he still blamed himself a little, feeling that if he hadn't let James score so many points, he wouldn't have been able to decide the winner until the last minute, and won the victory that many people thought was luck.

And when he made this request to Wang Xiao, he was very apprehensive in his heart, after all, how to play on the field, the head coach naturally has his own arrangements, he is just a small first-year rookie substitute, and he is not a superstar, what qualifications do you have to dictate the head coach's arrangement?

But even so, he still had the courage to say his request, because he was very unwilling, and he wanted to continue to challenge James until he defeated the other party!

There was silence in the training hall.

George looked at Wang Xiao expectantly, but seeing that Wang Xiao had no expression, his eyes gradually dimmed.

At this moment, Wang Xiao suddenly spoke up.

"Against the Heat, you can start the game and play against James all the way."

George was stunned, then his eyes widened in surprise as he looked at his manager in disbelief.

At this moment, he was a little skeptical that there was something wrong with his ears, and what the coach just said was to start himself?

It's not like George hasn't started before, but when Butler or Jamison is rested, he's been a substitute in the starting position.

"Don't be too happy." Wang Xiao said again at this time, and his voice called back the somewhat sluggish George. "This is a chance I gave you, but it's up to you whether you can take advantage of it."

"I'm going to keep an eye on how you perform when you're playing against James, and how far you can limit James will determine where you are in the team next, don't let me down."

As he spoke, Wang Xiao turned his head and walked out of the training hall, and George's surprised voice came from behind him.

"No problem! Instructor! ”

The corners of Wang Xiao's mouth hooked slightly, but he didn't look back, and at the same time, the victory value was silently deducted, and the bonus of the training system was also shrouded in this training hall.

Training modules for one person...... It's a bit wasteful, but it's definitely worth it!
