Chapter 288: The All-Star List is Out
"What is Wang Xiao doing? Curry is a two-time regular season MVP, and he actually made a two-time regular season Finals MVP play an average of only 32 minutes per game?
"The entire Wizards team, the main core is Curry, Curry's existence has made the offensive ability of the whole Wizards team have been qualitatively improved, his three-point lethality and deterrence can help teammates find gaps more easily, it is obvious that when Curry is on the court, the Wizards will win more easily, why doesn't Wang Xiao do this?"
"Stephen Curry is only 24 years old, but Wang Xiao uses him as a 34-year-old veteran, we don't know what kind of idea made Wang Xiao choose this way, it may be Brandon. Roy, Derek. What happened to young players such as Rose, it could also be due to other reasons, but it was obviously not necessary, unlike Roy, Rose and other main breaking guards, Curry's style of play is very safe, as long as you are careful, you can't suffer major injuries......"
The Wizards' record is only a small situation, and all kinds of critics and pointers pop up.
In the face of this situation, Wang Xiao will not waver in any way, just like Auden at the beginning, except for him, a traverser, no one will understand.
He's not going to be in the world of accidents, and the team isn't going to be affected in any way.
Curry, as the first protagonist of the incident, has no objection to Wang Xiao's arrangement and arrangement.
Among the players of the entire Wizards team, Curry can be regarded as Wang Xiao's most loyal supporter, he knows very well that without Wang Xiao, he will not have two regular season MVPs and FMVPs, even if Wang Xiao asks him to play as a substitute now, he will not refuse, not to mention that Wang Xiao also explained the reason to him when he cut his playing time.
Whether it's another plane, or this plane, Curry has a great trait - easy-going.
As long as he is not particularly powerless, Curry will never contradict his teammates and coaches because of playing time, tactical position and other reasons.
The Warriors' version of Curry is very familiar with the tactics of playing without the ball, because Green will share about half of the ball and stand on the top arc and pretend, and then Durant arrived, divided the other half of the ball, and repeatedly stole Curry's limelight in the playoffs and took away the FMVP trophy.
In this case, Curry has never made trouble, and he has always been able to maintain harmony in the locker room, which really makes Wang Xiao admire him very much.
Just imagine, if James, Kobe Bryant and others encountered this situation, they would have sprayed the head coach and even the management team a long time ago.
Curry doesn't have a problem, and the other players don't have an opinion, because Curry's less playing time means more opportunities for other players to perform.
The most intuitive embodiment is that with Curry's average points per game further decreasing, George's score has finally risen to 20+, and Leonard's score has also risen to about 15 points.
As a result, the Wizards have 3 players who average 20+ points per game, Curry averages 23.8 points per game, Thompson 21 points and George 20.4 points.
In recent years, there has been no team in the league where players on the same team have scored an average of 20+ points per game at the same time, and even in the future, only the Warriors have done it after getting Durant!
……
Due to the decline of Curry's personal data, his inevitable votes in the subsequent All-Star voting declined, and he was surpassed by James and ranked second in the league.
Even so, Curry still has the highest number of votes at the guard position, after all, even with 23.8 points, among the guards in the entire league, only Kobe Bryant and Harden have more points per game than Curry.
After three rounds of All-Star voting, Curry still ranked first on the Eastern All-Star guard voting list, successfully winning a spot as a starter in the Eastern All-Star Poll, the only pity is that he failed to beat James in the All-Star voting to become the voting king.
Another guard in the East who stands out is also a disciple of Wang Xiao, Jeremy Lin, a point guard from the Nets.
This season is Jeremy Lin's third season, and the full potential of the Kidd Growth Template Card has been fully exploited by Lin.
This season's average of 18.7 points, 6.4 rebounds, 12.3 assists and 2.5 steals per game is even more gorgeous than Curry's, and Jeremy Lin is the only player in the league's assists list to average double-doubles per game.
There is no suspense in the position of Eastern forward, it is still a combination of James + Anthony, James averages 26.8 points, 8 rebounds and 7.3 assists per game, which is all-round terrifying, and Anthony's average of 28.7 points per game is the first in the league scoring list over Durant.
Due to the restructuring of this season's All-Star Weekend, the center position has been eliminated and the number of spots has been added to the frontcourt, and all centers will vote together with the forwards, so the third most voted Eastern Forward position is Garnett, who plays power forward, and he will also serve as a center as the Eastern Conference All-Star starter.
On the Western side, the starting five were Clippers point guard Chris. Paul, Lakers point guard Kobe Bryant. Bryant, Trail Blazers small forward Kevin. Durant, Clippers power forward Blake. Griffin and Lakers center Dwight D. Howard.
Compared to last year, there were no major changes to the All-Star starting lineup, with Howard moving from a starting center in the East to a starting center in the West, and Garnett benefited from returning to the All-Star starting lineup, while his old rival Duncan was pushed to the bench by Howard in the West.
In addition to the starting lineup, the All-Star bench lineup was also released after the All-Star starting lineup was confirmed.
As Wang Xiao expected, George, Thompson and Leonard, although they did not have enough votes to make the All-Star start, were selected to the All-Star bench because of their outstanding performance in the regular season.
In addition to George, Thompson and Leonard, there are four players selected in the East, namely Wade from the Heat, Bosh, Deron from the Knicks and Brook from the Nets. Lopez..
Leonard was selected as an All-Star bench this season, and luck accounted for a large part of the credit, originally with his personal ability and statistics, he was absolutely unable to compete with the Celtics' point guard Rajan. Rondo, however, was injured in early February, and the vacant spot was just taken by him.
……
As the head coach of the Washington Wizards, this All-Star Weekend has nothing to do with Wang Xiao, on the one hand, the head coach of the All-Star Game cannot be re-elected, and on the other hand, he did something during the All-Star Weekend last year, which made many players and even fans very unhappy, and basically I am afraid that I will not be able to coach the All-Star team in the future.
Nothing is as leisurely as Wang Xiao, and if he could, he wouldn't even want to attend the NBA All-Star Weekend, and he would just take the opportunity to take a good rest
