The NBA 2010-2011 preseason season started on October 5, and before that, the Wizards' official website announced two news, the first was the news that the team officially hired Steve Cole as the team's assistant coach.

The second is that the team signed a development player, Madson, who mainly played shooting guard.

No fans will care about hiring an assistant coach, even if the assistant coach was previously the general manager of the Suns.

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

Madson? Who is this? I haven't heard of it. Can he bring any help to the team? Obviously it is impossible!

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

The team did a poor job of signings during the offseason.

The team's inside pillar Haywood did not get a quote contract, nor did he retain excellent role players such as Miller and Bratch.

It would be fine if the meritorious players last season were released, but the team didn’t sign any decent stars in the summer!

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

Jamison and Butler's annual salary is just over 10 million, while the rest of the players are basically in rookie contract periods, with the highest second-round pick Harden, who is $4.48 million.

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

There have been many big fish in the free market in 10 years, including James, Wade, Bosh, and Stoudemire...

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

The Wizards are not so attracted to superstars, but rather, they should not have taken any action at all.

Whenever the team general manager Glenfield was asked this question during an interview, he would simply turn the blame to Wang Xiao.

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

When the reporters asked Wang Xiao this question, Wang Xiao always avoided answering. He was really annoyed by the question and replied, "This is the team's secret, and it is not convenient to disclose it for the time being."

However, after the fans were looking forward to it for a summer, they were shocked to find that the Wizards had not signed a single player, but just ran to the Development League to find an unknown bench player when the preseason was about to begin.

So, Wang Xiao was not prepared to sign a sponsor at all?

Many media reporters were very angry by Wang Xiao.

If you don’t plan to sign up, you can just say it directly. What’s the point of buying?

Throughout the summer, the media made various predictions about the Wizards' signings, and some basketball commentators even swore that the Wizards would offer expensive quotes to Yao Yao, who had been in the 10-year player option period.

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

Second, the Wizards' inside strength is too weak. As the top inside player in the league, Yao Yao can effectively improve the Wizards' offensive and defensive capabilities in the 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. If he wanted to get more honors, Yao Dayao may consider leaving the Rockets.

Such predictions are naturally unreasonable in the eyes of experts and are simply nonsense. As a typical traditional center forward, Yao Yao has a slow pace and a large tonnage. How could he keep up with the Wizards' fast-paced small ball tactics?

With O'Neal's past, Wang Xiao could not do this as long as he was not a fool.

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

But this still scares many Wizards fans who don’t know much about football.

And as time passed day by day, Yao Ming declared that he would implement the player option, the fans realized that the news was completely nonsense, and even sneered at the commentators who made the comments.

As for whether this commentator doesn't know anything or is trying to attract attention, no one knows what he said.

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

Last season, the Wizards' magical performance surprised them. The team made the first move to the Eastern Conference Finals, which made them feel that if Curry stayed healthy, would the Wizards have the possibility of defeating the Celtics to the finals? It is even possible to defeat the Lakers in the finals to win the championship trophy!

But now, this possibility is really not great.

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

The Big Three Heat!

James, Wade and Bosh join forces, it is really unimaginable which team can defeat them.

Even the Celtics are unlikely, let alone the Wizards?

Under this concept, the NBA preseason began.

...

As a preseason for preparing and adjusting for the regular season, all teams are running into the lineup 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 starting in the regular season last season.

Curry, Danny Green, Butler, Jamison.

The only difference is Jordan Jr., who replaced Heywood as the starting center.

As expected, this lineup will also be the main starting lineup of the Wizards this season.

However, immediately following the second game, the Wizards played another starter that was completely different from the first game.

Beverly, Harden, George, Whiteside and McGee.

The fans of the Washington Wizards are also used to this situation. This is Wang Xiao's usual style. Wang Xiao played this game in the preseason last year, so many people couldn't even guess what kind of starting lineup the Wizards would set up in the regular season.

Wang Xiao did not disappoint the Wizards fans. In the third preseason game, he played the modified version of the five-square lineup of Curry, Harden, Danny Green, George and Jamison. The crazy fast break rhythm made the fans cheer.

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

Harden, George, Jamison, Whiteside and Jordan Jr., have an average height of 2.06 meters, making the opponent look up almost all the time...

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