Chapter 152: George's Growth

Compared to Curry and Harden, George's offensive ability is much worse, especially the ability to carry the ball alone, which he has not yet fully developed.

But George's defensive ability has unwittingly become the strongest presence on the Wizards, surpassing the team's other outside defender, Danny. Green.

Defending and waiting for offense, this is George's favorite and most commonly used routine in recent games, and people can often see George stealing the opponent's pass and then scoring a fast-break dunk.

The same goes for the game against the Nets.

The Nets' small forward is a small forward named Travis. Outlaw's player, Wang Xiao has no impact on him at all, this is a role player who averages only 8 points and 3 rebounds per game in his career, and his ability is mediocre in all aspects.

Under George's full marking, Oterlo basically had no chance to catch the ball, and could only stay on the outside to hang up many times.

George, on the other hand, took full advantage of his excellent mobility and continued to help his teammates with defensive aids. Green was on the sidelines to assist, and the two nearly locked the Nets completely from the outside.

Of course, the Nets' outside line is not very good.

Jeremy Lin is a point guard who is good at scoring and organizing the game, has long-range shooting ability but is not very efficient, and the other two outside linemen Anthony Lin. Neither Morrow nor Outlaw are very offensive players, with little scoring ability without Jeremy Lin's assistance.

When the Wizards' Curry was limited by Jeremy Lin, the Nets' outside line was made even more inefficient by George's defense, and in this case, George's not excellent offensive ability became a stepping stone to open the Wizards' offensive rhythm.

By halftime, George had scored 21 points, more than in the previous half.

And in the second half, Wang Xiao also consciously gave George more playing time.

Finally, when the game was over, George scored 28 points, breaking his personal scoring record again.

With 21 points at one game and 28 points at one game, George seems to have become the most efficient scorer under Curry and Harden of the Wizards, and his style of play, which barely holds the ball, has not affected the ball sharing between Curry and Harden in the slightest.

With George's dominant performance on both ends of the floor, the Wizards won the game with ease.

After the game with the Nets, Jeremy Lin went to Wang Xiao's side to say a few words.

As a mentor in college, Wang Xiao can be regarded as one of the most familiar people in the league, but when the battle comes, Lin has to be amazed by Wang Xiao's ability.

"Coach, I really convinced you, there is no weak player who plays under you in everything, and our team can be said to be completely no opponent!"

Jeremy Lin shook his head and sighed.

In this game, Jeremy Lin was already outstanding, he scored a game-high Nets score, 22 points, and also handed out 9 assists, almost getting a double-double.

At the same time, Curry, who was opposite him, was extremely uncomfortable by his defense throughout the whole game, scoring only 18 points in the whole game, and the shooting rate was just about 40%.

You must know that the current Curry can maintain an efficient offense even in the face of a player like Wade, but it is still a little difficult to adapt to a player like Jeremy Lin who was opened by Wang Xiao.

"You've done a great job, and I'm happy that a team like this can get you to sixth place in the East."

Wang Xiao patted Jeremy Lin's shoulder and smiled.

At this time, a large man with yellow skin walked over.

"By the way, coach, you should be familiar with this person, right? My teammate, Yi Jianlian, is also from Huaxia. ”

Jeremy Lin introduced his teammates to Wang, but this was obviously redundant.

How many Chinese are there in the entire NBA? How many can play the main starters?

Not to mention anything else, last season, Wang Xiao's Wizards team played 4 regular season games with Yi Jianlian's Nets, and Yi Jianlian played in all four games, but unfortunately the Nets at the bottom of the record are far from being the opponents of the Wizards.

However, the relationship between Wang Xiao and Yi Jianlian is limited to knowing each other, unlike Yao Ming's mutual calls, Wang Xiao and Yi Jianlian basically haven't talked much, and they are not familiar with each other.

"That, coach ......" hesitated slightly, and Jeremy Lin said a little embarrassed: "Yi Jianlian will invite you to have a meal and talk about it later." ”

Wang Xiao was slightly stunned, looked at Jeremy Lin, then at Yi Jianlian, and nodded after thinking about it.

"Okay, let's go out for dinner after the press conference a little later."

Looking at Yi Jianlian's expectant gaze, Wang Xiao knew what the other party wanted to do.

The current Yi Jianlian, although he is still playing in the NBA, is reasonable, and the situation is not particularly good.

After 4 seasons in the league, Yi Jianlian has begun to find it more and more difficult to keep up with the NBA's extremely high-level games as major teams study their technical characteristics.

The Nets also had high hopes when they first acquired the Chinese big man, who averaged a career-high 31 minutes per game last season, but averaged only 12 points and 7.2 rebounds per game, and as an interior player, he shot only 40.3 percent from the field.

So this season, Yi Jianlian's average playing time per game began to shrink, from 31 minutes last season to about 26 minutes, and his average points per game also decreased to an average of 7.8 points and 5.6 rebounds per game.

In recent games, Yi Jianlian has been beaten by the sudden rise of Chris. Humphries took the place of the starting XI and became a substitute.

If it weren't for Jeremy Lin, as the absolute main core of the team, standing on Yi Jianlian's side to help him speak, maybe Yi Jianlian's situation would be even worse.

But even Jeremy Lin can't always protect Yi Jianlian, after all, on the field, strength is the key to everything.

Now Yi Jianlian asked Jeremy Lin to match with Wang Xiao, obviously wanting to ask for advice, after all, Wang Xiao is a famous coach in the current league, and there is no one who plays under him who is weak, and the most typical example around Yi Jianlian is Jeremy Lin, although Jeremy Lin is a Chinese-American, he is also a pure-blooded Chinese.

According to Jeremy Lin himself, before he met Wang Xiao, he couldn't even play the starting main force of the school team, but now he has become the NBA champion and the absolute main trump card of the team.

After agreeing to the two, Wang Xiao went to attend the press conference, and more than an hour later, the three of them took a car together and came to a Chinese restaurant.

Chinese food in the United States is not particularly authentic, and it is not easy to find an authentic Chinese restaurant owned by a Chinese.

However, Wang Xiao, who has been in Washington for more than a year, can be regarded as having a good understanding of this place, and can also find one or two Chinese restaurants that match the taste.

After asking for a private room and ordering some food, the three of them sat down.
