The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

The NBA2010-2011 season preseason began on October 5th, and before that, the Wizards official website announced two news, the first is the team officially hired Steve Kerr as the team's assistant coach information.

The second is that the team signed a development player, Madsen, who is the main shooting guard.

Hiring an assistant coach, even if the assistant coach was the general manager of the Suns, no fan would care.

The new players signed by the team also disappointed the fans.

Madsen? who is this I have never heard of it, can he bring any help to the team? Obviously impossible!

This summer, Wizards fans were not very excited, even a little disappointed.

The team's signings during the offseason did a poor job.

Haywood, the mainstay of the team, did not get an offer contract, nor did he retain excellent role players such as Miller and Brac.

Let go of the meritorious players of last season, but the team didn't sign any decent stars all summer!

After the end of last season, the Wizards freed up a large amount of salary space.

The annual salary of Jamison and Butler is just over 10 million, while the rest of the players are basically in the rookie contract period. The highest is Harden, the second-round pick, with 4.48 million US dollars.

Based on the salary cap of the 10-11 season, the Wizards have the space to sign a top star.

There are also many big fish in the 10-year free market, James, Wade, Bosh, Stoudemire...

However, the Wizards got nothing in the free market. James Wade Bosh formed the Big Three in the Miami Heat, aiming at the championship, and Stoudemire went to the New York Knicks for a big contract and market.

Rather than saying that the Wizards did not attract superstars, it should be more accurate to say that they did not make any moves at all.

Whenever the general manager of the team, Grunfeld, is asked this question during an interview, he will simply and directly blame Wang Xiao.

"Our head coach has very strict requirements on the team's lineup system. He has a detailed plan and knows what kind of players the team needs. If you want to know which players the team is interested in in the free market, you'd better ask the ball team coach."

And when the reporters asked Wang Xiao this question, Wang Xiao always avoided answering, really annoyed by the question, so he just replied. "This is a secret of the team, and it is not convenient to disclose it for the time being."

However, after the fans had been looking forward to it for a whole summer, they were surprised to find that the Wizards didn't even sign a single player. They just went to the Development League to find an unknown bench player when the preseason was about to start.

So, Wang Xiao didn't plan to sign up at all?

Many media reporters were very angry at Wang Xiao.

If you don't plan to sign up, you can just say it directly, what's the point?

Throughout the summer, the media made various predictions about the Wizards' signings, and some basketball commentators even vowed that the Wizards would definitely make an expensive offer for Dayao, who has been in the player option period for 10 years.

The commentator also listed several reasons for this. For example, the first one is that Wang Xiao and Dayao are both Chinese, and they should be looking forward to working together.

Second, the inside strength of the Wizards is too weak. Yao, as the current top player in the league, can effectively improve the offensive and defensive capabilities of the Wizards inside.

Third, the Rockets have not had any good results in the playoffs in recent years, and after McGrady was traded, the Rockets' lineup has no hope.

Wang Xiao led the Wizards to the Eastern Conference finals in the first year of leading the team. If he wants to get more honors, Dayao may consider leaving the Rockets.

Such predictions, in the eyes of experts, are naturally irrational and nonsense. As a typical traditional center, Dayao has slow feet and a large tonnage. How can he keep up with the fast-paced small-ball tactics of the Wizards?

With the lessons learned from O'Neill, Wang Xiao would not be able to do this as long as he is not an idiot.

What's more, Dayao has always been in the injury stage, and it is impossible to judge his future career status, and the Wizards are unlikely to take risks for Dayao.

But after all, this still bluffed many Wizards fans who didn't particularly understand the game.

And when time passed and Yao Ming announced the implementation of the player option, the fans realized that the news was completely nonsense, and they even lashed out at the commentators who made the remarks.

As for whether this commentator doesn't understand anything, or is just saying this to catch people's attention, no one knows.

Anyway, when the preseason is about to start, the Wizards still have no signings, and the fans in Washington are a little disappointed.

Last season, the Wizards' miraculous performance surprised them. The team made it to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time, which made them feel that if Curry remained healthy, would the Wizards have defeated the Celtics and reached the NBA Finals? Possibility of the final? It is not impossible to even defeat the Lakers in the finals to win the championship trophy!

But now, that possibility is really slim.

The departure of Haywood, Miller and others made the team weaker than last season, and at the same time, an unimaginable behemoth appeared in the East.

Heat Big Three!

The combination of James, Wade and Bosh is really hard to imagine, which team can beat them.

Even the Celtics may not be possible, let alone the Wizards?

In this concept, the NBA preseason began.

...

As a preseason to prepare and adjust for the regular season, all teams are grinding their lineups and don't care about winning or losing.

The same goes for the Wizards.

In the first preseason game, four of the five players who started the Wizards were all starters in the regular season last season.

Curry, Danny Green, Butler, Jamison.

The only difference is that Jordan replaced Haywood as the starting center.

Not surprisingly, this lineup will also be the main starting lineup for the Wizards this season.

However, following the second game, the Wizards played a very different starting game from the first game.

Beverly, Harden, George, Whiteside and McGee.

For this kind of situation, the fans of the Washington Wizards are also used to it. This is Wang Xiao's consistent style. During the preseason last year, Wang Xiao played this trick, so many people couldn't even guess at the beginning. Come out what kind of starting lineup the Wizards will put in the regular season.

Wang Xiao did not disappoint the fans of the Wizards. In the third preseason game, he was on Curry, Harden, Danny Green, George and Jamison's improved five-death lineup, crazy fast break The rhythm made the fans cheer.

In the fourth preseason game, the dead five became the dead five.

Harden, George, Jamison, Whiteside and Jordan Jr., with an average height of 2.06 meters, made opponents look up to them almost the whole time...

The Wizards' preseason is like a guessing game. Before each game, many people predict what the Wizards' starting lineup will look like.

Many people think this is very interesting, but some people think that Wang Xiao's approach is boring and very childish.
