Chapter 80: Two Wins in a Row!

This game is very important for Wang Xiao and the whole Wizards team.

Especially the victory over the Cavaliers, one of the strongest teams in the East.

But in the eyes of the outside world, the reason why this game can be won mainly depends on Curry's outburst, the question is, how many times can Curry break out? He can't score 50+ points every game to help the team win, right?

Aside from Curry's supernatural play, the Wizards still have many problems exposed in this game.

First and foremost, it's defense.

After four games, the Wizards have conceded an average of 110 points per game, which is the lowest in the league and the second-lowest in the league last season.

Although the Wizards are among the top in the league in points per game, if the defense can't be solved, no matter how sharp the offense is, it is impossible to make a difference.

"It can be seen that Wang Xiao seems to want the Wizards to play the run-and-bomb tactics, but I'm afraid he thinks too well." A well-known sports commentator shook his head when talking about the Wizards' performance: "Not all teams can be the Suns, and Nash is a rhythm master who is unique." ”

"And the Wizards' run-and-bomb tactics are very strange, more than half of the offense relies on three-pointers, and the Suns' run-and-bomb is not like this, the Wizards have to shoot more than 40 three-point shots in four games per game, and the victory or defeat is completely dependent on luck, their own players feel good, luck comes, and they use three points to shoot the opponent to death, bad luck, without three points, the game will lose...... It's not like it's a game, it's more like gambling. ”

Such a view represents the thinking of the vast majority of people in the NBA.

This is very normal, and anything beyond this era will not be accepted as it should be.

Even if the future Warriors won the championship by defeating the Remnant Cavaliers in 15 years, there were still many people who thought that the Warriors' championship was only a matter of luck.

It wasn't until 16 years that the Warriors won 73 wins under the leadership of Ku Ritian, and people finally discovered that the increase in three-point shooting and small-ball tactical play could really be so strong! Such tactics are gradually being accepted.

And even in 19 years, there are still many people who claim that if there is a center like O'Neal in the small-ball era, he will definitely blow up the league.

They don't think about it, how many centers like O'Neal are in the league? How many more teams can get it?

If you can get O'Neal, of course, you won't have a problem with your head to play small-ball tactics, the key is no!

Not to mention the next few years, even now, that is, 10 years, will there be a big center with such ability in the league?

O'Neal Duncan is dying, and the new generation of super center Howard may barely be counted as one, but Wang Xiao really doesn't dare to compliment Howard's offensive skills, when he gets older, his physical fitness and explosiveness are far less than before and after, and the deterrence will be greatly reduced.

Although the small-ball tactic has been controversial, it is definitely the trend of the times and the inevitable result of the development of basketball.

Wang Xiao is now going to be the first person to eat crabs, and the only problem that the Wizards have at present is defense.

Compared to the 73-win Warriors, the current Wizards obviously have big flaws in defense, but there is no way, the core of the Warriors' defense is Drummond, who has won the best defensive player. Green, although controversial because of his dirty movements, is recognized as strong defensively, with excellent defensive awareness, fast lateral movement, and fast offense immediately after grabbing rebounds.

Green's presence has taken the Warriors' defense up a notch altogether.

At the moment, Wang Xiao can't find Drummond. Green's replacement, of course, there are players in the league, such as Kevin. Garnett, but it is impossible to get Garnett, 10 years of Garnett is still holding the tail of his prime, and the Celtics cannot let him go easily.

But even without Drummond. A defensive titan like Green, with the depth of the current Wizards' roster, is enough to occupy a place in this era of the absence of a strong center!

……

After an away win over the Cavaliers, the Wizards returned home to take on the Indiana Pacers.

The 10-year Pacers are no longer the strong team that can compete with the championship Pistons, O'Neal Jr., Artest, and Jackson have left the team one after another, and the Pacers have begun to rebuild. Granger is such a good player, but the team's record is still difficult to improve, since the start of the 06-07 season, it has been three consecutive seasons without the playoffs.

This opponent is much weaker than the Cavaliers, and the performance of Curry and the Wizards, who have exploded, did not disappoint Wang Xiao.

At 121:109, the Wizards won their first win of the new season at the MCI Center Arena, the team's home stadium, with a hearty game!

Curry's performance in this game was still amazing, shooting 8-of-15 from the field, including 4-of-10 from three-point range, and scoring a game-high 24 points after counting free throws.

In addition to Curry, the Wizards also had four players score in double figures, Jamison also had a good hand, cutting 21 points, Butler 18 points, Harden who came off the bench cut 18 points and 8 assists, and Green 11 points.

Relying on the excellent performance of the players, the Wizards won one more game and won two in a row!

The victory of the two games also made the fans' condemnation of Wang Xiao a little smaller, no matter what, the victory cannot be questioned.

The sword of Damocles hanging over Wang Xiao's head also moved away slightly.

Two wins and three losses in the first five games, although it is not qualified, but it is still better than the 11 games and 10 losses in the opening game of last season.

The Wizards' opponent in Game 6 is the Miami Heat.

When it comes to the Miami Heat, Wang Xiao thinks of a guy.

Legendary Godfather Pat. Riley.

Wang Xiao still has a grudge with this guy, which can be traced back to two years ago, when Wang Xiao had just crossed over not long ago.

More than two years have passed before you know it.

To be honest, if it weren't for seeing the name of the Heat, Wang Xiao might not have remembered this at all.

But now that he remembered it, Wang Xiao wouldn't pretend that nothing had happened.

"Am I only worthy of cleaning the toilet? Then let you see how much grudge this toilet sweeper has! ”

Wang Xiao and Pat. Riley's grievances, indeed not many people still remember, two years ago, Wang Xiao was not well-known, just by forcibly selecting Durant as the champion, he got a little attention.

Two years later, Wang Xiao has returned to the NBA as the head coach of the Wizards, and although the team's current record is not particularly ideal, it has proved that he is definitely capable of being the head coach of an NBA-caliber team.
