Compared with Curry and Harden, George's offensive ability is much worse, especially in singles with the ball, which he has not yet fully developed.

But George's defensive ability has unknowingly become the strongest presence on the Wizards, surpassing the team's other perimeter defender, Danny Green.

Defending and waiting to attack is George's favorite and most commonly used routine in recent games. People can often see George steal the opponent's pass and then score a fast break dunk.

The same goes for the game against the Nets.

The Nets' small forward is a player named Travis Outlaw. Wang Xiao has no influence on him at all. He is a role player who has averaged only 8 points and 3 rebounds per game in his career. He has excellent abilities in all aspects.

Very mediocre.

Under George's full coverage, Outlaw basically had no chance to catch the ball, and often had to stay on the outside and hang up.

However, George made full use of his excellent mobility and constantly helped his teammates in defense. With Danny Green assisting from the side, the two almost completely locked up the Nets' perimeter.

Of course, the Nets' outside quality isn't that great either.

Jeremy Lin is a point guard who is good at scoring points and organizing games. He has long-range shooting ability but is not very efficient. The other two outsiders, Anthony Morrow and Outlaw, are not players with strong offensive ability. Without the assistance of Jeremy Lin,

The situation has almost no scoring ability.

When the Wizards' Curry was restricted by Jeremy Lin, the Nets' perimeter defense was made even more inefficient by George's defense. In this case, George was not considered an excellent offensive ability but became an opener.

A stepping stone to the Wizards' offensive rhythm.

At the end of halftime, George's score had reached 21 points, which was more than he scored at halftime in the previous game.

In the second half, Wang Xiao also consciously gave George more playing time.

Finally, when the game was over, George scored 28 points, once again breaking his personal scoring record.

21 points in one game and 28 points in one game. Unknowingly, George seemed to have become the most efficient scorer under Curry and Harden on the Wizards, and his playing style of rarely holding the ball and attacking did not affect him at all.

To Curry and Harden sharing the ball.

With George's dominant performance on both offense and defense, the Wizards easily won this game.

After the game against the Nets, Jeremy Lin went over to Wang Xiao to exchange a few words.

As his mentor in college, Wang Xiao can be regarded as one of the people Jeremy Lin is most familiar with in the league. However, after the match, Jeremy Lin could not help but marvel at Wang Xiao's ability.

"Coach, I really admire you. No player who plays under you is weak. It can be said that our team is no match for us!"

Jeremy Lin shook his head and sighed.

In this game, Jeremy Lin's performance was already outstanding. He scored the highest score of the Nets with 22 points, and also sent out 9 assists, almost getting a double-double.

At the same time, Curry, who was facing him, was extremely uncomfortable being guarded by him throughout the game. He only scored 18 points in the game, and his shooting rate was just around 40%.

You know, the current Curry can maintain an efficient offense even when facing players like Wade, but it is still a little difficult to adapt to players like Jeremy Lin who have been tricked by Wang Xiao.

"You have done very well. Such a team can bring you to sixth place in the Eastern Conference. I am very satisfied."

Wang Xiao patted Jeremy Lin on the shoulder and smiled.

At this time, a big man with yellow skin came over.

"By the way, coach, this should be familiar to you, right? My teammate is Yi Jianlian, who is also from China."

Jeremy Lin introduced his teammates to Wang Xiao, but this was obviously redundant.

How many Chinese are there in the entire NBA? How many are capable of playing in the starting lineup?

Not to mention anything else, last season, Wang Xiao's Wizards had four regular season contests with Yi Jianlian's Nets. Yi Jianlian played in these four games. Unfortunately, the Nets, which had the lowest record, were far from the Wizards.

opponent.

However, the relationship between Wang Xiao and Yi Jianlian is limited to knowing each other. Unlike Yao Ming who called each other, Wang Xiao and Yi Jianlian have basically not talked much and are not familiar with each other.

"Well, coach..." After a slight hesitation, Jeremy Lin said with some embarrassment: "Yi Jian will treat you to a meal later and have a chat."

Wang Xiao was slightly startled, looked at Jeremy Lin, then at Yi Jianlian, thought for a while and nodded.

"Okay, let's go out for a meal together after finishing the press conference later."

Looking at Yi Jianlian's expectant eyes, Wang Xiao knew what the other party wanted to do.

Although Yi Jianlian is still playing in the NBA, to be honest, his situation is not particularly good.

After four seasons in the league, as major teams have studied his technical characteristics, it has become increasingly difficult for Yi Jianlian to keep up with the extremely high level of NBA competition.

When they first acquired the Chinese big man, the Nets had high hopes. Last season, he averaged a career-high 31 minutes per game, but his averages were only 12 points and 7.2 rebounds.

An inside player, his shooting percentage is only 40.3%.

So this season, Yi Jianlian's average playing time began to shrink, from 31 minutes last season to about 26 minutes, and his scoring average also dropped to 7.8 points and 5.6 rebounds per game.

In recent games, Yi Jianlian has been replaced in the starting position by the sudden emergence of Chris Humphries and became a substitute.

If Jeremy Lin, as the absolute core of the team, had not stood up for Yi Jianlian and helped him speak up, Yi Jianlian's situation might have been even worse.

But even Jeremy Lin can't always support Yi Jianlian. After all, strength is the key to everything on the court.

Now Yi Jianlian asked Jeremy Lin to connect with Wang Xiao. Obviously he wanted to ask for advice. After all, Wang Xiao is a famous Midas touch among coaches in the league. No one who plays under him is weak. The most typical example around Yi Jianlian is Jeremy Lin.

, although Jeremy Lin is a Chinese-American, he is also a pure-blood Chinese.

According to Jeremy Lin himself, before he met Wang Xiao, he couldn't even make the starting lineup of the school team, but now he has become the NBA's top pick and the team's absolute ace.

After agreeing to the two, Wang Xiao went to attend the press conference. More than an hour later, the three of them took a car together and arrived at a Chinese restaurant.

Chinese food in the United States is not particularly authentic, and it is not easy to find an authentic Chinese restaurant run by Chinese people.

However, Wang Xiao, who has been in Washington for more than a year, knows the place relatively well and can find one or two Chinese restaurants that suit his taste.
