Losing away to the Mavericks is not something unacceptable for the Wizards, a strong team that has been winning more than 50 wins in the regular season since '01, and it is still in the more competitive West.

However, in this game, Wang Xiao stubbornly let Curry stay on the court all the time, but many people were still dissatisfied.

"As the head coach of a team, this guy doesn't know how to be flexible at all, obviously Curry is extremely inefficient under Kidd's defense, but he still stubbornly lets Curry take the lead on the court."

"He's such a coach, and when he was at Harvard, the main team was only Jeremy Lin and Plaine, and there was very little rotation."

"Hopefully he can sum up the reasons for the defeat after the game and make some new changes in the next game."

Clearly, these people's expectations are going to be disappointed.

The Wizards' second game was still on the road, flying to Atlanta to take on the Hawks on the road.

Compared to the Mavericks, the Hawks are obviously a bit easier to deal with, although the Hawks also have Joe. All-Stars like Johnson and Josh. Smith, Al. Horford is two players with a lot of potential, but the team is relatively young after all.

It stands to reason that in this game, the wizards who are fighting away should have the strength to fight.

But it turned out to be completely one-sided.

From the beginning of the game, the Wizards were in a backward situation, and they kept chasing points throughout the game, and finally lost the game 106-109.

Curry still started this game, playing 35 minutes in the game, shooting 7 of 22, 2 of 11 three-point shots, although he scored 20+ points, but the efficiency was still too low.

People can't understand why Wang Xiao insists on putting Curry on the court when his scoring efficiency is so low.

At the same time, some professional basketball analysts have found that the problem is not just with Curry, but also with the entire Wizards.

In the first of those two games, the Wizards made 37 three-pointers as a team, hitting only 11 of them, a 29.7 percent shooting percentage.

In the second game against the Hawks, the Wizards actually stepped up, shooting a full 40 three-pointers and hitting 13 shots, although the shooting rate increased from 29.7% to 32.5%, but this level was still not enough for the team to win.

What's going on with the Wizards? Is Wang Xiao crazy?

This is already Wang Xiao has been questioned more than once whether he is crazy, because every time his behavior is inexplicable and incomprehensible to people now.

Just like when he gave up Oden to choose Durant and traded Arenas in this year's draft.

Again, no one understands, what is the crazy three-point shooting trying to do?

"What exactly does Wang Xiao want the Wizards to do? Do you want to use the three-pointer to win? I have to say that Wang Xiao's idea is really wild, if you want the team to win, I can give him a little advice, do a good job of the team's defense, the current Wizards' defense is simply a mess, terrible. ”

That's what a basketball commentator said in an interview.

One of the things that is recognized in the league today is that defense is the key to winning games.

Even if Nash and the Suns came out of nowhere, making the run-and-gun tactics appear in everyone's sight, this concept has still not been reversed.

In the two years when the Suns were at their strongest, the regular season was indeed almost invincible, but what about the playoffs?

The best result was only the Western Finals, and I didn't make it to the finals once.

The Suns are still like this, let alone a wizard with an inexplicable roster?

And even in the Suns' run-and-gun tactics, the proportion of three-point shots in shots is only a little more than 2 percent, where like the current Wizards, almost half of the shots in a game come from three-point shots.

The defensive intensity can't keep up, and he always floats on the outside to shoot three points, so it's strange if he doesn't lose!

After two regular season games, when Wang Xiao and the Wizards were mentioned, people all shook their heads.

"If Wang Xiao doesn't adjust the team's tactics and strengthen the defense as soon as possible, it is estimated that his time in the position of head coach of the Wizards should also enter the countdown."

There is always only one factor that determines a coach's career, and that is results.

Last season, the Wizards changed two coaches in a row.

The opening 11 games and 10 losses allowed head coach Eddie. Jordan was swept away and replaced by his Ed. Turpscott didn't make the Wizards' record any better, so he was also fired after the season.

Now Wang Xiao is shouldering the heavy responsibility of reinvigorating the Wizards to sit in the position of head coach of the team, and in one summer, Wang Xiao has done a lot of things, trading the top pick, and trading the team's core ace Arenas.

If he can't come up with satisfactory results in the new season's competition, then Wang Xiao will have to follow in the footsteps of the previous two, and the question is how long it will take to leave.

In this case, the Wizards' third regular-season game, home game against the Nets, lost again.

The first two games were against strong teams in the league, or away games, and the loss was bearable, but this time the home opponent was the Nets! Kidd left the team last season, and only Carter led the Nets to the fifth lowest record in the East, and this season even Carter left, the Nets have completely become a bottom team, since the start of the new season, the Nets and the Wizards have lost two in a row, but after facing the Wizards, the Nets actually won!

Now, almost all the Wizards fans have exploded!

Many fans began to gather in front of the Wizards' arena to protest and demand that Wang Xiao leave class, as they did in the draft.

"We don't need a Chinese coach, he doesn't understand anything at all!"

"Let Wang Xiao get out! We want to win! Don't fail miserably! ”

After three consecutive defeats in the opening game, and even lost to a team that was not favored by all the media and is expected to be at the bottom of the league this season, Wang Xiao has been pushed to the forefront.

If you open a sports TV station, you can see a discussion about the head coach of the Wizards Wang Xiao, and it is basically all kinds of belittling, discussing whether the owner of the Wizards team took the wrong medicine to choose Wang Xiao to be the head coach of the team.

And Arenas, who was personally traded to the Timberwolves by Wang Xiao, also made remarks in public.

"I think there is a huge gap between Asian coaches like Wang Xiao and American coaches in terms of coaching level, although he has made great achievements in the NCAA, but those achievements are inseparable from Jeremy Lin, Plaine and Dunn These outstanding young people with potential, he does not have the magical coaching ability that people imagine, just an ordinary person who is not worthy of the name."

After the start of the new season, Arenas, who returned from injury, made a perfect debut for the Timberwolves.

He had 29 points and 9 assists in the first game, 23 points and 4 assists in the second game, and 25 points and 3 assists in the third game.

At the end of the three regular season games, Arenas averaged 25.7 points and 5 assists per game, and his hot form did not decline because of two seasons of injuries.

"Arenas was on our side! Blame that damn bastard! The Wizards were made a mess by him! ”
