As time enters March, the competition schedule becomes more intensive and intense.

The Wizards' schedule in March is not particularly friendly. A total of 10 of the 16 games are away games. Three of these 10 away games are back-to-back games, and there is even a bad schedule of 4 consecutive away games.

Among these away opponents are the Lakers, Celtics and Magic, which are the league's top teams. If they are not careful, they may suffer a losing streak.

However, the intensive schedule and fierce confrontations can easily lead to injuries, and Wang Xiao had to start preventing this from happening.

Since the beginning of March, the Wizards' daily training volume has begun to decrease. At the same time, the main players' playing time has been slightly reduced during games. Players who are over 30 years old, such as Butler and Jamison, are even scheduled to take turns in away games.

.

Under such circumstances, the Wizards' record was still somewhat affected.

They lost away games against the Celtics and Hawks as well as against their direct rivals, the Magic. Fortunately, the Magic also had a hard time in March.

At the beginning of March, the Magic worked hard to catch up and once won seven consecutive games, directly completing the pursuit of the Wizards' record. The two teams had the same record and were only half a game behind the Wizards in terms of mutual wins and losses.

In the away game against the Wizards, the Magic's Howard exploded, shooting 67% from free throws, directly shattering the Wizards' execution of the shark-cutting tactics, thus defeating the Wizards and completing a lead in record.

Fortunately, right after, the powerful Magic team suffered a two-game losing streak, and the Wizards immediately seized the opportunity and caught up.

When the time came to the end of March, the Wizards still led the Magic by a slight advantage of 1 game and ranked second in the Eastern Conference.

By the end of March, the Wizards' record had reached 52 wins and 22 losses, with a winning rate still above 70%.

Such a fantastic record has left Washington fans wondering how to describe it!

The last time the Wizards achieved more than 50 wins in a season was back in the 1970s. At that time, the Wizards were still called the Bullets. They acquired All-Star center Elvin Hayes through a trade and built the team with Hayes as their starting point.

The core, won the best record in the team's history, 60 wins and 22 losses!

Since then, the Wizards have never won more than 50 games in any season.

In the blink of an eye, it's 2010. The Washington Bullets have become the Washington Wizards. The team's owner has passed away. Arenas, who is regarded as the hope of reviving the team, has been traded away from the team. No one expected that in such a turbulent year

, the Wizards can actually achieve such a fantastic record!

At this moment, even a fool understands the reason why the Wizards can achieve such an excellent record.

Wang Xiao! It was his arrival that brought something unique to the Wizards.

50 wins in a single season!

Jordan, who came back, failed to do it. Chris Webber, who grew up as an All-Star power forward with the Wizards, also failed to do it. General Arenas also failed to do it, but Wang Xiao only took one short season.

That’s it! And it’s so easy and freehand!

You know, there are still 8 games left before the end of the regular season. The Wizards, who have already won 52 games, can win at least half of these 8 games. By then, the Wizards' record will reach 56 wins or even more!

In fact, it's pretty much what fans expected.

After surviving the fierce month of March, what is left is the final finishing work of the regular season in April.

In the last 8 games in April, the Wizards achieved 6 wins and 2 losses, with a final record of 58 wins and 24 losses, a winning rate of 70.7%, ranking second in the Eastern Conference, second only to the Cavaliers, who won 62 wins and 20 losses.

The 58 wins not only rank second in the Eastern Conference, but also rank second in the entire league.

The Los Angeles Lakers, the No. 1 team in the West, had a final record of 57 wins and 25 losses, losing one more game than the Wizards, while the Wizards' direct competitor in the East, the Magic, had a record of 56 wins and 26 losses.

The end of the regular season also makes the various awards of the season gradually become clear.

The first thing to determine is naturally the hard data and honor.

Kevin Durant of the Trail Blazers became the new scoring champion with an average of 31 points per game, and became the youngest scoring champion in league history at the age of 21 years and 197 days!

Although with the performance of rookies such as Curry and Harden, people no longer question Wang Xiao's vision, and even praised Wang Xiao's ability to recognize talents more than once, Durant's explosive performance still shocked the fans.

However, Durant alone cannot fully demonstrate Wang Xiao's abilities.

Stephen Curry's scoring dropped slightly in March and April. When the regular season ended, his scoring average was fixed at 26.5 points per game, which was second only to Durant's 31 points in the league.

James' 29.7 points, Anthony's 28 points and Kobe's 27 points ranked fifth. Ranked sixth was Wade's 26.4 points, followed by Monta Ellis's 25.5 points and Nowitzki's 25 points.

point……

He averaged 25+ points per game in his rookie season. The last player to achieve such high scores was Michael Jordan, but Curry is completely different from Jordan because his main means of scoring is three-pointers.

This season, Curry averaged 10.7 three-point attempts per game, with a shooting percentage of 43%. He hit 4.6 three-pointers in each game. Excluding several rest games and games missed due to illness, Curry played 77 games throughout the season.

game, a total of 354 three-pointers were made throughout the season!

This is an almost terrifying amount!

You know, the previous record for three-pointers in the NBA was set by Ray Allen in the 2005-06 season with 269!

And Curry, a first-year rookie, actually raised this record from 269 to 354 in his first season!

There is almost no suspense about Curry becoming the new three-point king. At the same time, averaging 26.5 points and 6 assists per game also makes the candidate for this year's Rookie of the Year lose all suspense.

Of course, Curry is not the only winner in life.

The performance of Wizards sixth man James Harden this season also shocked everyone.

Although his average of 18 points and 8.4 assists per game is not as good as Curry's, it is definitely among the top statistics in the league. His average of 8.4 assists per game ranks sixth in the league's assist list.

Although he was far behind Curry in the selection of the best rookie, but with such data, he basically won the league's best sixth man award.

The Wizards' two rookies performed explosively, while the team's two veterans' statistics declined slightly.

Antoine Jamison averaged 17.8 points and 6 rebounds per game this season, while Butler's scoring dropped sharply from 20.8 points last season to 15.2 points.

This is a matter of course. The ball rights and the number of shots are limited. Curry and Harden occupy a large amount of the team's shot rights. Jamison and Butler naturally have much less shot rights. This season, what they have done
Chapter completed!
