Jordan Jr. was completely blown up by Howard in the playoffs last season, and naturally he was unwilling, and after Haywood did not renew his contract with the team and subsequently announced that he signed a five-year contract with the Mavericks, Jordan Jr. began to realize that his opportunity may be coming!

Last season with the Wizards, Haywood was the undisputed No. 1 center, and most of the time he was the first interior player to play against other teams.

Jordan Jr. is the second center, and McGee is the third choice for the center.

Now that Heywood is gone, and the team has no intention of bringing in interior players, Jordan Jr. realizes that he is likely to be pushed into the starting line-up as the second center.

It's not hard to guess at all.

Despite his physical qualities, McGee doesn't seem to be much of a coach and has been far less likely to play minutes and opportunities last season.

As for the big man named Whiteside that the team selected in the second round of the draft, Jordan Jr. didn't even think about it.

A first-year rookie, if it is the first-round lottery, may be a big threat to him, but a second-round pick like him, how can he be compared to himself who has played in the league for three years?

Thinking that he might become the starter, Little Jordan really worked hard this summer, soaking in the stadium every day to improve his strength, although there is no auxiliary bonus of Wang Xiao's system, but this summer's progress is also visible to the naked eye.

Little Jordan has improved a lot, and Wang Xiao still used the tactical skill of a card master in this game in order to target Howard, so he naturally won't lose too much in rebounding.

Easily defeated the Magic team in their away debut, and the Wizards' performance surprised people a little, but in the next few games, people had to admit that compared to last season, the Wizards seemed to be stronger!

On October 30, the Wizards defeated the Hawks 117-99 on the road.

On October 31, the Wizards defeated the Nets 109-92 at home.

On Nov. 3, the Wizards defeated the Cavaliers 121-97 on the road.

On Nov. 4, the Wizards defeated the Pacers 106-87 at home.

In the blink of an eye, the Wizards won five straight games, leading the league in record, and leading the league with an average of 115.2 points per game as well as last season.

But compared to last season, people are a little bit less right.

In five games, the Wizards conceded an average of only 95.5 points per game!

This average of points per game is not an exaggeration in the league, with seven teams conceding less points per game than that in the regular season last season.

But if you count the scores, it's a bit stunning.

In five games, the Wizards won by an average of 19.7 points per game! Close to 20 points!

Even the Bulls, who won 72 games that year, averaged only 12.3 points per game.

Of course, that's just five games, and it doesn't mean that the Wizards can do that in all 82 games of the season.

But even so, some people have begun to notice that the Wizards' defense seems to be much better than last season.

Last season's Wizards, although the scoring was extremely high, the average points conceded per game was also very high, almost ranked at the bottom of the league, and the Suns in 05 and 06 were completely abandoning defense and relying on super high scoring to win.

But the Wizards' defensive efficiency has improved significantly in the new season.

Could it be that Wang Xiao has already started to improve the team's defense? It would be an exaggeration if the Wizards could actually improve their defensive quality while maintaining their existing offensive firepower......

It remains to be seen in the next game, but they were right.

It wasn't Kerr who contributed to the Wizards' defensive quality improvement in these five games.

While Kerr has begun to work on the Wizards' defensive tactical improvements, it's not nearly as fast as it can be.

The reason why the team's defensive efficiency has improved in these games is actually the role of Wang Xiao's system skills.

In the Tactical Skill module, there is a skill called "Blocking Defense", which is limited to outside defense and can increase the response speed of outside players when defending and blocking and pick-and-roll.

In these games, Wang Xiao has been using this skill, although he has to pay 100 victory points every time, but this is definitely not a loss.

In the case that centers are scarce and outside three-point shooting has not yet become popular, the current general trend of the league is still to break through the offense with the ball.

Although there are also teams that arrange a lot of running and then catching and shooting, they are still a minority, so the effect of the "blocking defense" skill is quite good.

In the face of a team that relies on running to get shooting space, Wang Xiao also has a set of coping methods.

Aren't you able to run? Then I'll run with you.

Anyone's physical strength is limited, and it is impossible to squander it without restraint.

When you run desperately to get an open shot, and you finally shoot the basketball into it, and before you have time to celebrate, you turn your head and see that the opponent has served and is running towards the backcourt, do you chase or not?

Can you still hold up the running position for a few rounds in a row?

Of course, this kind of response is a bit strange, just a simple offense rather than defense, but Wang Xiao believes that as the game progresses, the Wizards' defense will gradually improve, and gradually reach the level where they can cope with any offensive tactics.

Wang Xiao's self-confidence, on the one hand, comes from his own system and tactical skills, and on the other hand, from the future Warriors head coach Steve. Kerr, on the other hand, is a new player from the Wizards this year, first-year rookie Paul. George.

George's debut with the Wizards wasn't particularly idealistic.

Against the Magic, George came off the bench and played 24 minutes, scoring just four points and three rebounds on 1-of-5 shooting.

In the five games in which the team won five in a row, George played an average of 26 minutes per game and only averaged 6 points and 3 rebounds per game.

As a bench, averaging 6 points and 3 rebounds per game is not outstanding, but it can be seen anyway.

But as a rookie who was selected with the fourth pick, as a player who was selected by Wang Xiao, such data is a bit insufficient.

Which of the players selected by Wang Xiao in the first round is mediocre?

Durant averaged 20 points per game in his rookie season, Curry averaged 26.5 points per game in his rookie season last season, and Harden had 18 points + 8.5 assists in his rookie season.

And in the new season, Durant currently leads the scoring list with an average of 32 points per game after five games.

Curry followed with an average of 28 points per game, and Harden, who is still playing off the bench with the Wizards, unknowingly increased his average of 18 points per game last season to 22 points.

How did it suddenly drop to 6 points and 3 rebounds when it got to George?

Although only 5 games were played, George's data made many people begin to wonder if Wang Xiao capsized in the gutter this time?

This is the first time in history!
