The match between the first and second in the league is one of the most interesting games besides the battle between the Heat vs Lakers, the favorites to win the championship.

Many people are also curious about which is stronger or weaker between the sharpest spear and the hardest shield in the alliance.

The Bulls have conceded an average of 91.3 points per game in the regular season, second only to the Celtics in the entire league conceding 91.1 points per game.

The two teams are almost evenly matched in points per game, but the Bulls' offensive efficiency is much better than that of the Celtics.

The Bulls are averaging 99.6 points per game and a whopping 8.5 points net difference, tied for second with the Miami Heat.

As of early February, the 40-7 Wizards have averaged 114 points per game, conceding 100.8 points per game, and the goal difference has reached a terrifying 13.2 points, which is twice the net score of most teams in the league.

This kind of data surprised many fans who like to study the data, after all, the Bulls, who won 72 games that year, averaged only 12.3 points per game.

However, despite this, no one would think that this Wizards team has reached the heights of the 72-10 Bulls that year.

If you look closely at the detailed scoring of each game of the Wizards, you will find that when the Wizards play against strong teams, the point difference is often not very large, but when they play against weak teams, they can always play a huge difference of more than ten points or even more than twenty points.

It can be said that the weaker the overall strength of the team, the stronger the performance of all the players of the Wizards, and the easier it is to get high scores, and it is precisely by playing against the weak team that the Wizards can get such a high net score.

……

To get back to the point, the current Bulls team is definitely not a weak team in the league, so for this game, Wang Xiao still put a certain amount of effort into it.

The Bulls' defense is left alone, just look at this team's offense.

It's clear that this is a team that relies on a single core drive.

The only brain, engine or driver in the team, is the NBA champion in '08, Derrick. Ross.

The Bulls' current starting five are point guard Derrick. Ross, Quartile Keith. Bogans, small forward Ruhr. Deng, power forward Carlos. Boozer, center Jorkin. Noah.

Among these five, apart from Rose, the only one who has the ability to attack with the ball may be Ruhr at the small forward position. Deng.

Boozer, on the other hand, as a big forward, is not particularly good at attacking with the ball, mainly because he has been with Jazz head coach Jerry. Sloane plays under the tutelage of Sloan, and is more accustomed to working with the pick-and-roll tactics of the point guard.

Basically, this lineup of the Bulls, as long as Rose is off the court, then the offensive firepower will drop by two or three notches in an instant.

It is for this reason that Rose has averaged 37.4 minutes per game this season.

That's a lot of time for a point guard, who has more work on than any other position on the court, such as ball control.

Wang Xiao has always felt that the reason why Rose, the youngest MVP, suffered a serious injury, so that he has been inactive because of injuries later, is because of the high frequency of playing time in the 10-11 season and the 11-12 season.

Tom. Thibodeau, a coach known for his defense, has impeccable defensive skills, but the way he uses his players on the field is not flattering.

In his hands, there will always be a player who has averaged nearly 40 minutes per game over the course of the season, just like this season, in addition to Rose, who averaged 37 minutes per game, there is also small forward Ruhr, who averaged 39 minutes per game. Deng.

In another time and space, next season, a shortened season due to a shutdown, will have a more compact and varied schedule. Deng is still averaging 39 minutes per game.

It's also a loss to the Ruhr. Deng Gangjin can bear it, and he has carried it like this for three or four seasons in a row.

Ruhr. After Deng was sent away, the next one to be used in this way was Jimmy. Butler.

After Thibodeau left the Bulls to coach the Timberwolves, there was still such a criticizing approach.

Wang Xiao has always felt that excessive fatigue is one of the direct triggers of player injuries, so he pays attention to the rest time of players on the court, whether it is Curry, Harden or Jamison Butler, etc., the average playing time per game is less than 35 minutes, and every quarter will get a reasonable rest.

Of course, when Wang Xiao said this, there was a suspicion that he didn't have back pain when he stood and spoke, after all, he had a lot of talent under him, and there were players such as George, Beverley, McGee and other players on the bench, so naturally there was no need to worry about no one being available.

Not all teams have the Wizards.

Derek. Ross can be regarded as a player that Wang Xiao has always liked and regretted before he crossed over, and he has imagined what his career would be like if Rose was not destroyed by injuries.

So before the start of this game, Wang Xiao also went to the side of the Bulls, shook hands with the Bulls players, and then had a brief conversation with Rose.

Wang Xiao's move made many people feel very surprised.

Because Wang Xiao's image in the alliance has always been not a particularly gentle type, especially several times of public intimidation, which also made Wang Xiao a little notorious.

It's the first time in two years that we have taken the initiative to say hello to other teams before a game like this.

"Hey, Derek, what did that guy tell you?"

It wasn't until Wang Xiao walked away after talking to Rose that the other players of the Bulls came up and asked Rose curiously.

Rose was a little stunned, he was stunned for a while, and then said: "He told me that he admires me very much and thinks I am very strong, and then he said something nonsense about what you need to learn to protect yourself on the field, and you must have reservations in every attack, saying that a style of play like mine is very easy to get injured, and it is the kind of serious injury that affects your career, you must pay more attention to it......"

"What does that guy mean? Is it to scare you? Boozer looked at Wang Xiao's back and said with some unhappiness. What qualifications does the manager of an opposing team have to dictate to us? Don't you think that our coaches and referees are rubbish? Sure enough, it's an arrogant guy. ”

Rose didn't talk, but his eyes were full of doubts when he looked at Wang Xiao.

Although he couldn't understand the meaning of Wang Xiao's words, he could feel that the other party did not mean to provoke, and his eyes were full of appreciation and regret.

"It's ...... What's going on? ”

……

Wang Xiao didn't know if his brainless words were useful, and he couldn't be sure if he could change Rose's fate by doing so, but that's all he could do.

Everyone has their own life and destiny, Wang Xiao is just an ordinary person, maybe he has a golden finger like the coaching system, but he is just an ordinary person.

It is impossible for him to directly change the minds of others, otherwise he would not have been kicked out of the team directly because he chose Durant as the champion when he first came.

He has done what he needs to say and do, and whether Rose can understand and save his own career can only depend on himself.

And in the current game, Wang Xiao still has to win!
