Chapter 140: It's Hard to Ride a Tiger

(There was a bit of a mistake when I released the chapter, and I reversed it, although the content can be changed, but the chapter name needs to be changed by contacting the editor, so there are two "one hundred and forty chapters", and I'll let the editor change it back after the editor goes to work tomorrow, sorry.) )

Something doesn't seem to be going well.

However, if Wang Xiao wants to adapt to such a situation, it is completely possible.

It's very simple, replace Jordan Jr., replace Harden, and form a death five lineup.

Bosh and Jamison's rebounding ability is half a pound, and there is no need to worry about the death of the five small lineups that will collapse because they can't protect the rebounds.

And after the death five, whether Jamison pulled out to assist Curry in blocking and dismantling, or simply let Harden frequently single Chalmers, it can easily break the game.

Such a change of formation does not guarantee that it will be able to dominate the field, but it will definitely not be as passive as it is now.

But after thinking about it for a while, Wang Xiao did not choose such an adjustment.

The field is changing rapidly, and having tactics to crack does not mean that it is omnipotent, and many times, what coaches really rely on is the player's own performance.

After more than a year of training bonuses from the training system, Curry's growth rate is amazing, and it is far from being comparable to Curry of the same age in another time and space, but even so, Curry is far from reaching the height of the future Curry.

Wang Xiao has thought about the reason, and then he now feels that although the training system can improve the efficiency of player training, this does not necessarily mean that players will definitely be able to reach a certain height through training.

This is a very simple truth, there are many hard-working people, and there are many talented players, but there are still very few who can really become the top superstars in the league, why?

The answer is simple, experience.

After all, the real world is not a game, and it is not that a simple pile of data can be sliced and invincible.

Top superstars like Kobe Bryant and James have all developed unmatched abilities through one game after another.

So no matter how much victory value Wang Xiao piled up on Curry, it was impossible to directly make Curry evolve into Curry.

The same can be said for Harden and George.

Harden is the prime example.

When he was with the Thunder, Harden was not reused at first, as a first-round third pick rookie, but he could only play as a substitute, and he finally played in the third season, but he was traded to the Rockets by the Thunder because he couldn't negotiate a contract extension.

After arriving at the Rockets, Harden was regarded as the core of the team, the only main force on the team.

And it was from that time that Harden's stats soared like a rocket, averaging 25.9 points and 5.8 assists per game in the first season of the Rockets, and then rising every year, and in 2019, he averaged 36.1 points, 6.6 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game, surpassing Kobe Bryant and becoming the highest-scoring scoring guard in a single season under Jordan. (Note that we're talking about a shooting guard.) )

A lot of people say the Thunder made an incredibly stupid trade by giving up Harden for millions of salary space.

But in fact, if Harden renews his contract with the Thunder and continues to play for the Thunder, will he be as good as he was with the Rockets?

The answer is no.

The Thunder already have Durant and Westbrook, and Harden, while good, will always be the third on the team.

This is a very real problem, and players who are as strong as the Heat's Big Three will inevitably be greatly affected when they play on the court.

Bosh averaged 20+10 per game in the Raptors all year round, and when it came to the Heat, the data dropped to 18+8, and after Wade ceded power to James in the second year, the data also declined to a certain extent.

Harden can't have a lot of opportunities with the Thunder, and he won't always be the absolute core of the team with the ball.

In that regard, Harden is a lot better than the Thunder at the moment.

Although they also played off the bench, the Wizards didn't have Durant, they didn't have Westbrook, and they only had Curry.

A lot of the time, as long as Harden is on the court, the ball is in Harden's hands, and he plays a position with the Wizards a bit like Westbrook's position with the Thunder.

Because of this, Harden had 18+8 data in his rookie season, and so far this season has averaged 22 points and 8.2 assists per game.

Wang Xiao's early reuse made Harden grow up in advance, which also made Wang Xiao start to think about Curry's growth.

Unlike Harden, whether it is with the Wizards or the Warriors in another time and space, Curry is being developed as a core player.

But unlike the Warriors' version of Curry, in the Wizards, Curry has better training and a more targeted tactical system.

As mentioned earlier, whenever Curry encounters a high-pressure defense, Wang Xiao will arrange to change tactics to help Curry score better.

Now Wang Xiao is worried about whether such unreserved assistance will make Curry rely too much on the tactical system?

Just imagine, if Curry develops the habit of retreating and not taking the initiative to attack whenever the opponent's defense is too strong, and waiting for his teammates to help, it will not be fun!

What Wang Xiao wants is the air every day, but whenever he catches the ball, he makes the outside players of the whole league frightened, not a parallel commodity who feels invincible in the world and can't do anything if he doesn't feel good.

So now in the face of Wade's change of defense, Wang Xiao doesn't want to help Curry solve the problem, he wants to make Wade Curry's experience monster and accelerate Curry's evolution faster.

……

Sure enough, in the face of Wade's defense, Curry was very uncomfortable.

Wade came on the court this time, it seems that he came to contain Curry, and he didn't even participate much on the offensive end, just followed Curry the whole time.

In this situation, Curry has a hard time connecting the ball, let alone offense.

In the minutes that followed, Curry only made three shots, two three-pointers from the outside, and one shot inside with quick offensive and defensive transitions.

And these three shots only rushed to the inside layup to score successfully.

At this time, Harden was not on the court, and the only main point of attack of the Wizards was Curry, and Curry's offense was blocked, which also brought the entire Wizards' offense to a standstill.

The score, which had already been equalized, was reopened to more than 10 points in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that the score gap widened again in the blink of an eye, Wang Xiao couldn't help but think in his heart.

Isn't it a little too big?

To be honest, seeing Wade switch to Curry, Wang Xiao's first reaction was that this was a good opportunity to hone Curry, and this decision was completely improvised.

But if it really ruined the victory of this game because of this, it would be a bit too much.

After all, I let go of my big words, poured chicken soup, and then lost the game again, it would be too bad.

But the problem is that the situation has developed like this, and Wang Xiao is also a bit difficult to ride a tiger.

He could certainly adjust his tactics immediately and let his players cover for Curry and separate Wade's defense.

But in that case, instead of directly telling Curry that you are not Wade's opponent, or let your teammates help you, right?

Isn't that all that you just done in vain?
