The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

As time enters April, the NBA regular season has also come to the last and most intense and crazy time period.

The tight and dense schedule of the shrinking season has made all the players in the league feel tired, and the high winning percentage of the Wizards, Bulls, Spurs and other teams has caused other teams in the middle to lose more games. It also makes them have to work harder in the competition for the playoffs.

After all, there are 30 teams in the league, and only 16 teams can qualify for the Eastern and Western finals.

This period of time is undoubtedly the most dangerous period. Even if it is the Wizards, if they are a little careless, they will usher in a wave of losing streaks and directly lose the number one position in the league.

What worries Wang Xiao the most is the health of the players.

In order to be able to compete for a place in the playoffs, many teams will play more aggressively during this time period.

The current lineup of the Wizards is perfect in Wang Xiao's view, and Leonard's progress and growth have also made this lineup even more perfect. Now the only thing that can beat this team is injuries.

Injuries are always the biggest problem affecting a team.

In the starting lineup of the Wizards, no matter who missed the playoffs due to injury, it would be an irreparable loss for Wang Xiao.

Needless to say, Curry and others, even JaVale McGee, who averages only about 25 minutes per game, is equally important. At least at the current stage when Whiteside has not fully grown up in the team, McGee's Shot blocking, rebounding and mobility are all integral parts of the team.

Because of such concerns, Wang Xiao was extra careful when using Curry and others in the April game.

Wang Xiao can’t help it if he’s not careful. Although the guys on the Wizards team are all talented and amazing, they almost all have a history of serious injuries, especially Curry. The 11-12 season should have been the most serious injury Curry suffered. period of illness.

Wang Xiao has always been a little worried. The coaching system does not have any modules that can effectively prevent or treat injuries, and he has never seen it in the lottery draw.

If the system had a similar function, he would not be so cautious.

However, the current system functions are buggy enough. Not only does it have a growth template card that directly changes the player's potential, but also a training module that can improve the training effect of the players, and a tactical module that can directly strengthen the player's tactical effect on the field.

It can be said that if there is no system, even if Wang Xiao also selects Curry and other players, there is no way for them to grow up in such a short period of time.

Fortunately, the risk is not limited to the Wizards, the entire league is facing such a dilemma.

Dwight Howard of the Magic, Amare Stoudemire of the Knicks, Derrick Rose of the Bulls and Ray Allen of the Celtics have suffered injuries to varying degrees this season , Some of these are due to being too old, and some are due to the fact that the tactical position in the team is too important and caused by overwork.

Among them, what Wang Xiao misses the most is Ross.

The butterfly wings instigated by his own presence did not change the experience of this windy city rose.

In the shrinking season of the 11-12 season, Rose finally ushered in injuries due to excessive playing time and frequent hits to the basket.

In 51 games, Rose played only 27 games, and in April, Rose will return from injury.

Due to his appearance, the Wizards became the No. 1 team in the East, and because of this, the Bulls will not play against the 76ers in the first round of the playoffs.

Wang Xiao is not sure whether Rose will have a torn cruciate ligament without playing against the 76ers, but judging from Tom Thibodeau's high frequency of use of Rose, I am afraid that even if he does not play against the 76ers, Rose It will be a matter of time before he encounters a serious injury. After all, his style of play is still too fierce and direct.

In April, just to be on the safe side, Wang Xiao wanted Curry to rest a few more games, but the premise was that it would not affect Curry's competition for the MVP honor of the regular season.

So far, Curry has averaged 31 points per game, ranking first in the league and nearly 2 points higher than the second-ranked Durant.

And he averaged 6.8 assists per game. Although he is not high among point guards, he can also be ranked among the top ten assists in the league.

Coupled with the team's excellent record, Curry has always been among the top three in the league's MVP list, and is in the first position most of the time.

Attendance rate and contribution to the team's victory are also one of the important reference criteria for regular season MVP selection. Although Wang Xiao wants to protect Curry from injuries, he also does not want Curry to suffer from too many absent games. Out of the regular season MVP selection.

And so far, the top three in the NBA regular season MVP list are Curry, who averaged 31 points and 6.8 assists per game, James, who averaged 27 points, 8 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game, and Durant, who averaged 29 points, 8 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game. .

In another time and space, James defeated Durant and was elected the regular season MVP of the 11-12 season.

Comparing the data of the two, although Durant's score is higher, he is inferior in other aspects. Whether it is assist ability, defensive ability, or even the contribution value of the team's win, it is not as good as James.

Because of this, Durant, who led the Thunder to 47 wins, lost to James, who led the Heat to 46 wins.

But this season, although Durant is also ranked in the top three of the MVP list, he has basically been declared out.

Because although the Trail Blazers have the Big Three of Durant, Aldridge, and Jordan, their record is not as good as that of the other space-time Thunder three plus Ibaka and Kendrick Perkins. good.

Although there are still about 15 games that have not been played in April, basically the Blazers' record can only be guaranteed to be around 42-44 wins.

Such a record is inherently at a disadvantage in the MVP selection.

Basically, the regular season MVP will be born between Curry and James, and Wang Xiao prefers Curry.

Curry is his own student, so there is nothing wrong with him, but more importantly, Curry is really strong this year. His dominance on the field is almost comparable to that of the 73-win Warriors in the 15-16 season. times are comparable.

He averaged 5 three-pointers per game with a shooting rate close to 45%. If this is not a shrinking season, he may directly break the single-season three-pointer record he just set last season, and it will still be greatly refreshed kind of.

Once Curry wins the regular season MVP, he will be the third point guard in the league to win the regular season MVP for two consecutive years. Such an honor is extremely tempting for anyone.

Wang Xiao has no reason not to support his disciples to compete for this award.
