The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

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

But George's defensive ability has unknowingly become the strongest existence in the Wizards, and has surpassed another perimeter defender of the team, Danny Green.

Waiting for attack, this is George's favorite and most commonly used routine in recent games. People can often see George stealing the opponent's pass, and then fast break dunk.

The same is true for the game against the Nets.

The small forward of the Nets is a player named Travis Outlaw. Wang Xiao has no influence on him at all. This is a role player who averaged only 8 points and 3 rebounds per game in his career. Very mediocre.

Under George's full-time marking, Outlaw basically has no chance to catch the ball, and can only stay on the outside and hang up most of the time.

But George took full advantage of his excellent mobility, constantly helping his teammates to assist in defense, and with Danny Green assisting on the sidelines, the two almost completely locked the Nets' perimeter.

Of course, the level of the Nets outside is not very good.

Jeremy Lin is a point guard who is good at breaking points and organizing games. He has long-range shooting ability but is not very efficient. The other two perimeter players, Anthony Morrow and Outlaw, are not very offensive players. Without Jeremy Lin's assistance There is almost no scoring ability in the situation.

When the Curry of the Wizards was restricted by Jeremy Lin, the perimeter of the Nets was even more inefficient due to George's defense. In this case, George's offensive ability, which was not considered excellent, became an opening. The stepping stone of the Wizards' offensive rhythm.

At the end of the half, George had scored 21 points, which was more than the half of the previous game.

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

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

With 21 points in a game and 28 points in a game, George seems to have become the most efficient scorer on the Wizards under Curry and Harden before he knew it, and his playing style with little possession of the ball has no effect at all. To the possession of the ball shared by Curry and Harden.

With George's dominant performance on both ends of the offense and defense, the Wizards easily won the game.

After the game with the Nets, Jeremy Lin went to Wang Xiao to exchange pleasantries.

As a mentor in college, Wang Xiao can be regarded as one of the people Jeremy Lin is most familiar with in the league, but after the fight, Jeremy Lin had to be amazed at Wang Xiao's ability.

"Coach, I really admire you. No player who plays under you is weak. Our team can be said to be no match at all!"

Jeremy Lin shook his head and sighed.

In this game, Jeremy Lin's performance was already very good. He scored the highest score of the Nets in the game, 22 points, and sent 9 assists, almost getting a double-double.

At the same time, Curry, who was facing him, was extremely uncomfortable being defended by him all the way. He only scored 18 points in the game, and his shooting percentage just reached about 40%.

You know, Curry can maintain an efficient offense even against a player like Wade, but it is still difficult to adapt to a player like Jeremy Lin who was kicked out by Wang Xiao.

"You've done a good job. I'm very satisfied that such a team can bring you to sixth place in the Eastern Conference."

Wang Xiao patted Jeremy Lin on the shoulder and smiled.

At this time, a big man with yellow skin came over.

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

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

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

Not to mention anything else, last season, Wang Xiao's Wizards team had 4 regular-season contests with Yi Jianlian's Nets, and Yi Jianlian played in all four games. Unfortunately, the Nets with the lowest record are far from the Wizards. opponent.

However, the relationship between Wang Xiao and Yi Jianlian was limited to mutual acquaintance. Unlike Yao Ming who had calls to each other, Wang Xiao and Yi Jianlian had basically never chatted and were not familiar with each other.

"Well, coach..." Jeremy Lin hesitated for a moment, and said with some embarrassment: "Yi Jianlian will treat you to a meal later and chat."

Wang Xiao was taken aback for a moment, looked at Jeremy Lin, then at Yi Jianlian, and nodded after thinking about it.

"Alright, let's go out for a meal together after the press conference is over later."

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

Although Yi Jianlian is still playing in the NBA, to be reasonable, the situation is not particularly good.

After mixing in the league for 4 seasons, with the research of the technical characteristics of the major teams, it has become more and more difficult for Yi Jianlian to keep up with the extremely high level of competition in the NBA.

When they first got the Chinese big man, the Nets also had high hopes. Last season, he averaged 31 minutes per game, the most in his career, but his average per game was only 12 points and 7.2 rebounds. An inside player, his shooting percentage is only 40.3%.

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

In recent games, Yi Jianlian was replaced by the sudden emergence of Chris Humphries and became a substitute.

If it weren't for Jeremy Lin, as the absolute core of the team, standing on Yi Jianlian's side to help him speak, Yi Jianlian's situation might have been 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 asks Jeremy Lin to match up with Wang Xiao. Obviously, he wants to ask for advice. After all, Wang Xiao is a well-known touchstone among current league coaches. No one who plays under him is weak. 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 as the main starting player of the school team, but now he has become the number one pick in the NBA and the team's absolute main trump card.

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

Chinese food in the United States is not particularly authentic. It is not easy to find a Chinese restaurant opened by an authentic Chinese.

However, Wang Xiao, who has been in Washington for more than a year, has a good understanding of the place, and he can find one or two Chinese restaurants that suit his taste.

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