There was silence in the MCI Center arena, and all the Wizards fans watched the game in front of them with a heavy heart.

At this time, the game between the Wizards and the Magic has reached the fourth quarter, and the players on both sides are still playing hard.

But the suspense has been lost.

The scores of both sides are clearly displayed on the big screen.

78:99, the home team is in front, the away team is behind, and the Washington Wizards are already 21 points behind at home!

Wang Xiao stood on the sidelines with his hands on his hips, without any expression on his face, and on the bench behind him, the players of the Wizards team were all unwilling.

……

It's over, Wang Xiao has changed to an all-bench lineup, he has given up chasing points, so that the Wizards' two home games have lost, and they will go to Orlando with a score of 0:2...... I have to say, it's terrible. ”

"The Wizards lost two games in a row, the fault is not the coach, nor the players, it can only be said that Wang Xiao and his Wizards team are a little unlucky, all we can do is cheer for them, and at the same time pray that Curry is okay......"

Curry was injured, and it hurt suddenly.

In the first game of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Magic, Curry hit his foot on a layup and fell to the ground in pain.

At that moment, Wang Xiao's heart couldn't help but pinch up.

It occurred to him that Curry seemed to have something wrong with his ankle all along.

In another time and space, Curry's frequent ankle sprains seriously affected his performance on the court, and the frequent sprained ankles made Curry a famous glass man in the league, and in the entire 11-12 season, Curry only played 26 games due to ankle sprains.

In September 2012, Curry underwent surgery to remove excess soft tissue and bone spurs for career consideration.

This surgery has more or less alleviated Curry's ankle problem, and although he will miss a few games each season due to some minor problems in the following seasons, it is not something serious enough to affect his career.

Now, Curry sprained his right ankle!

Although the time has not yet been right, Wang Xiao attaches great importance to the problem of Curry's sprained ankle, and he will never let him play again until he is sure that Curry is completely well!

Without Curry, the team's No. 1 scoring point, the Wizards' firepower was seriously insufficient, and the first game collapsed in the final quarter, burying the original lead and being overtaken.

In the second game, the away Magic dominated the court from the beginning and maintained the advantage until the end of the game.

The series started 2:0 and also lost Curry, and the current situation is extremely bad for Wang Xiao and the Wizards.

……

For the loss of these two games, both media reporters and fans in Washington have maintained a very tolerant attitude.

Everyone knows that it is not Wang Xiao and the team's fault that they lost two games in a row, they were just too unlucky.

Moreover, advancing to the Eastern Conference semifinals is already the Wizards' best result in recent years, and Wang Xiao and his young team can achieve such results in their first season, even if they stop there, it is still quite a satisfactory result for Wizards fans.

Not this year, there will be next year! The Wizards' current roster is so young, are you afraid that there will be no chance?

But some people don't think that way.

The day after the game, Wang Xiao's office welcomed a guest. Curry.

Curry's sprain is a bit severe, but after two days of recovery, he has gotten a lot better, at least he doesn't need crutches to move around at will, just a little limping.

"Coach." As soon as Curry saw Wang Xiao, he went straight to the point. "In the next game, I want to play."

Wang Xiao was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then frowned. "Don't mess around, you're not injured yet, what are you going to fight?"

"I just sprained my ankle, it's not a serious injury at all, I sprained it in college and I was back in a few days." Curry hurriedly said: "Now the team doesn't have me, I'm afraid I'm going to be eliminated by the Magic team soon!" I have to be on the field, with my teammates, to help them! ”

Wang Xiao looked at Curry quietly, and from Curry's eyes, he saw the desire for victory.

Curry would love to win.

Not only Curry, but the entire Wizards team wants to win the game, and Wang Xiao is even more so.

The system version 3.0 has been upgraded to 80%, and it can be activated by one game, if it loses 0:4 to the Magic team, the activation of the system will drag on for a whole year, and Wang Xiao is not willing.

But he's even more reluctant to gamble with Curry's career.

Sprains can be big or small, from a few days to a serious one that may affect a player's entire career.

Curry's ankle is the hardest hit, how could he ignore it?

In order to avoid Curry's frequent sprained ankles like in another plane, Wang Xiao must make sure that Curry is fully recovered before letting him play.

"Stephen, no, no, no, I'm the head coach, this is my territory, you have to listen to me!"

Thinking of this, Wang Xiao shook his head and rejected Curry again.

"But the coach! Without me, the team would be eliminated! ”

Curry said anxiously.

"So, for the sake of a game or a series victory, are you going to bet your entire career?" Wang Xiao asked rhetorically.

Curry was speechless.

In fact, he didn't think about the severity at all.

In his opinion, a sprained ankle is not a serious injury at all, and it is over by gritting his teeth to overcome the pain, how can it affect his future career?

In fact, there are many players who have the same idea as Curry, which is why it will cause irreparable consequences.

The most typical case is that Da Yao, who was injured in the 09 playoffs, forced to play in spite of the injury in order for the team to win, and the game was won, but it was followed by season reimbursement and then retirement.

At that time, Wang Xiao was very worthless for Yao, and even after crossing here, Wang Xiao also called Yao Ming in the 09 playoffs, hoping that he could not force him to play, but the result was not successful.

He can't stop Da Yao, but he can still stop Curry now because he's the team's head coach.

"You want to win, I can understand that, I want to win, but there's not just one way to win."

Wang Xiao stood up and walked to Curry's side, patted him on the shoulder, and then said: "I promise you that I will do everything I can to make the team defeat the Magic team and get close to the Eastern Conference Finals!" You can recuperate from your injuries obediently, even if this season ends like this, you can return as a king next season! ”
