After six consecutive victories, the Wizards finally ushered in their first defeat of the season.

On the road against the Portland Trail Blazers, the Wizards lost 107-113.

There were many reasons for the loss of this game. For example, Wang Xiao arranged George's rotation and put Chandler Parsons in the starting position.

Parsons is 2.06 meters tall and weighs 103 kilograms. He is stronger than George, but his strength is obviously not comparable to that of George, who has been trained by Wang Xiao's training system for a season.

Curry didn't feel good in this game. He only scored 23 points on 7 of 24 shots in the game, while Durant on the opposite side showed an unsolvable offensive ability, scoring 37 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists efficiently. The data.

In addition, Jordan Jr., who newly joined the Trail Blazers, also showed strong defensive dominance in the interior, with 9 points, 17 rebounds and 4 blocked shots. Rebounds are higher than the entire Wizards team.

Although he lost the game, Wang Xiao didn't take it seriously. After all, even if Curry didn't feel good, the final score difference was only 6 points. If George played in this game, it would be hard to say the outcome.

Because the team lost due to resting players, Wang Xiao didn't learn any lesson, instead he rested Curry in the eighth game.

However, because this was a home game, and the opponent was the Cleveland Cavaliers with a relatively poor record in the league, the Wizards successfully won the game at home.

In the two games, the two main players were rested separately. Many people were puzzled by Wang Xiao's approach. The regular season is only the beginning stage. If there are any injuries, there is no good way to rest.

But Wang Xiao didn't think so.

The biggest factor inducing injuries is fatigue, and the shrinking schedule intensity in the 11-12 season is no joke.

Wang Xiao would rather sacrifice part of his record and hope that the players can keep healthy.

Players such as Curry, George, and Leonard will all have a history of serious injuries in the future. Although the time, place and even the reasons may not be made up, and Leonard’s season reimbursement is still caused by stepping, but There is no problem with being careful to sail for thousands of years.

Wang Xiao plans that the team's starting lineup will take at least 5 games in rotation this season to get enough rest time.

And the depth of the current Wizards lineup is enough for a willful rotation player like Wang Xiao.

The point guard has Beverly, who has been playing for two years, and the newly selected 1.75 meters strongest on the surface.

Although Isaiah Thomas has a huge disadvantage in the NBA in terms of height, he has never averaged less than 10 points per game since joining the NBA. In the first season, he averaged 25.5 minutes per game and scored 11.5 points per game 4 assists, played 26.9 minutes in the second season, and averaged 13.9 points and 4.0 assists per game. In the third season, after securing the core of the main force, his playing time increased to 34.6 minutes of normal starting, and his average per game surged to 20.3 points and 6.3 assists, just like an All-Star point guard.

He and Beverly have one offense and one defense, which can almost perfectly fill the needs of the team's starting point guard when Curry is absent.

The situation in other positions is similar. There are two forwards, Caron and Jimmy, at shooting guards. Jamison and Parsons are at the forward position. I am afraid that the only relatively short board is the inside, but this position also has White. Seid and Yi Jianlian.

...

When Yi Jianlian is mentioned, I have to say it by the way.

There have been 8 games in the regular season, and as an inside substitute, Yi Jianlian has also gained a certain amount of playing time.

In 8 games, Yi Jianlian averaged 14 minutes per game and contributed 4 points and 2 rebounds per game.

This is definitely not an excellent statistic, and even for Yi Jianlian, this statistic is also a career low.

This situation was completely expected by Wang Xiao.

With Yi Jianlian's ability, it is really difficult to survive in the NBA. Without his intervention, Yi Jianlian will eventually join the Mavericks with a basic salary this season. He averaged 6.8 minutes per game, only contributed 2.6 points and 1.6 rebounds, and then ended this failed season. Back to CBA to play.

Now in the Wizards, although the data is not as good as in previous seasons, when Yi Jianlian is on the court, it is valuable, especially when Yi Jianlian appears in the center position, and then falls on the outside to form a range threat. It is very deterrent to other teams.

At this stage, Yi Jianlian's personal strength still needs to be improved, and the Wizards are already very passive in terms of rebound protection, so it is not suitable to give him more playing time, but it is hard to say what will happen in the future, because Wang Xiao has no A little distressed to give Yi Jianlian the same level of treatment as Curry, George, Leonard and others, that is, the training bonus of the trinity of training modules + special training + training enhancement cards.

As a native of China, Wang Xiao still hopes that Yi Jianlian can achieve something in the NBA.

The bonus effect of the training system is gradually reflected through accumulated training. Yi Jianlian, who has only been with the Wizards for only one month, naturally cannot soar to the sky in an instant, just like Jimmy Butler, although he knows that he is very strong in the future , He can even confront Leonard, George and others, but now, he is the undisputed weakest player on the team.

At present, even Chandler Parsons is better than Butler on the court and in daily training.

Although the draft pick is lower than Butler, Parsons is obviously better than Butler in all aspects, such as height, wingspan, shooting stability, defensive experience and awareness...

Of course, the story after Parsons is well-known. Five years later, Butler has firmly established himself as the core of the Bulls, averaging 20+6+5 all-around data per game, and was selected to the All-Star and All-Defensive Team Three teams, but Parsons, who started much higher than Butler, has become a model of the league's high salary and low ability, and he doesn't work when he gets paid.

Wang Xiao is too lazy to think about things five years from now, he just wants to be optimistic about the present.

Parsons is now better and better than Butler, so on the court, he gets more opportunities than Jimmy Butler, it's that simple.

As for Jimmy Butler, if he can't rise due to less playing time, he doesn't deserve to be called "the hardest-working player" at all.

In the Wizards, due to the congestion of the front line, Jimmy Butler may play less in the game, but the Wizards also have an advantage that other teams do not have-the training bonus of the training module, for Jimmy Butler. As far as training is concerned, there is nothing more suitable for him than the effect of training.
