Chapter 237: Slap those guys in the face!

"The Wizards coach pre-booked the championship trophy!"

"Is it a wild statement or a confidence? The ghost coach is not satisfied with the youngest best coach in NBA history, but also wants to be the youngest champion coach in NBA history! ”

As a coach, Wang Xiao can't be compared with Curry and other players in terms of popularity, but when he said this, the whole league was shocked, over the years, the league has experienced many strange head coaches, but it is the first time like Wang Xiao!

Although Wang Xiao did not say when he would win the championship trophy, the meaning in his words was clear that he wanted to win the championship trophy this year.

Looking at the entire league, even Popovich, who has four championships in hand, would not dare to say such things with such certainty.

Therefore, people's first reaction is that this guy is crazy.

Are the Wizards strong? Very strong, so far ranked first in the league in the league in regular season record, first in the league in offensive efficiency, and top five in the league in defensive efficiency, this is a very dominant team.

But even so, the vast majority of people don't look at curiosity to win the championship.

The reason is simple, this team is too young, young coaches, young players, young and immature tactical system.

Although their current style of play and rhythm make the entire league very uncomfortable, there is still a long time left in the regular season, and in the next forty or so games, there will always be teams that come up with tactics and playing styles against the Wizards, and in the playoffs, it will be difficult for a shooter like Curry who relies too much on his touch to win the battle once he is targeted.

"Wang Xiao? The Wizards? Hehe, if you want to win the championship, you should first find a center who can protect the frame. ”

"What does he think the NBA is? CBA? If he wants to win the championship, he can get it? Are you kidding? ”

"I seriously doubt that Wang Xiao is drunk? How could he have said such a thing? I'm looking forward to the playoffs in a few months now, and what will this guy look like when his team is eliminated? ”

In the face of all kinds of ridicule and ridicule, Wang Xiao seemed very calm, before he said this, he had imagined what the result would be, but he didn't care.

He said this only to counter De Nagro's previous taunts.

Didn't you say that a coach who hasn't won a championship doesn't deserve to be called the best coach in the NBA? So if I win the championship, do you recognize me as the best coach?

Unfortunately, De Nagro did not stand up to Wang Xiao head-on.

Wang Xiao doesn't know if this guy is cowardly, after all, if this kind of thing is promised, if Wang Xiao really wins the championship, then he De Nagro will become the laughing stock of the entire league and a supporting role in Wang Xiao's legendary story.

Similarly, if Wang Xiao had been crownless for the rest of his life, he would have become a complete clown, often mentioned and ridiculed after dinner.

In terms of risk and difficulty, Wang Xiao's side is obviously higher, but De Nagro still doesn't want to take such a risk.

In fact, he couldn't have imagined that Wang Xiao was so reckless, just because of his slightly mocking words in an interview, he was so tough and confrontational with himself!

The matter was not followed up because De Nagro pretended not to know, but the matter was constantly brewing.

After Curry learned about the incident, he called Wang Xiao again to apologize, and he knew very well that if it weren't for his outspoken words on the talk show, the situation would not have gotten so bad.

"You kid, do you know how to apologize?"

What he didn't expect was that Wang Xiao was on the other side of the phone, but he hated it and said: "If you are really sorry, then give me a good performance in the game, and win this year's championship to help me slap those people in the face!" ”

Curry's mouth opened wide and he was stunned for a moment before he said, "I will, coach!" ”

At the same time, Curry's heart couldn't help but stir.

The coach is serious! He really wants to win this year's championship!

To be honest, although he was unwilling to lose to the Mavericks last year, Curry didn't think about the team continuing to win championships this season, and like most people, he also thought that he and the team were too young, and both ability and experience were much worse than those old giants.

Being able to enter the Finals last season also has a lot to do with luck, for example, in the Eastern Conference finals against the Heat, James actually played abnormally......

Now, Curry won't think like this, because Wang Xiao has already sent him a signal!

As the main core of the team, if Curry is not confident in this, how can others have?

"If you win the regular season MVP, how can you not win the FMVP?"

Hanging up the phone, Curry's eyes gleamed with excitement......

In the following days, the Wizards' players all found that Curry worked harder in daily training, and Curry's training attitude was very diligent, but now it is even more like a hanging, and correspondingly, on the court, Curry has become more aggressive.

On February 6 at home against the Raptors, Curry hit seven three-pointers and scored 41 points to lead the team to victory.

On February 8, at home against the Knicks, 36 points and 7 assists!

On February 10, he played away against the Pistons, 39 points and 5 assists!

On February 12, away against the Jazz, 34 points and 4 assists!

Curry is like a scoring machine, scoring on the court is like chopping melons and vegetables, and no one can stop him!

The entire league was surprised by Curry's crazy performance, after averaging 31 points per game to win the Player of the Month in January, Curry is clearly going to win the Player of the Month in February!

Relying on this wave of consecutive 30+ points, Curry's popularity has picked up again, and he has once again opened a slight gap with Rose in the All-Star vote.

However, Curry's crazy scoring performance did not continue, because immediately after the away game on February 14, Curry was once again scheduled to rest by Wang Xiao.

It's a good thing to be in good shape, but it's easy to get into trouble if you're too tough, especially like Curry, who is a more famous glass man, and has never played a season in his entire career, so Wang Xiao is also careful to use Curry.

Without Curry, the Wizards' winning streak came to an abrupt end, but even so, the Wizards still led the league with an absolute advantage.

Before the All-Star, there were 4 games left, and in these four games, Wang Xiao took turns to rest several main players, and finally achieved a record of 3 wins and 1 loss.

On Feb. 22, after the away game against the Kings, players from all teams in the league were finally able to breathe a little bit of relief and get a rare respite.

From this day, the intensive schedule finally ushered in a longer holiday.
