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

The compact and intensive schedule of the shrinking season has made all team players in the league feel tired, while the Wizards, Bulls, Spurs and other teams have as always high winning rates that have caused other teams in the middle of the game to lose more games, which has forced them to fight harder in the playoffs.

After all, there are only 16 teams in the league that can enter the East and West finals.

This period of time is undoubtedly the most dangerous period. Even if the Wizards are not careful, they will usher in a wave of consecutive losses and directly lose the first place in the league.

What Wang Xiao is most worried about is the health of the players.

In order to compete for the playoffs, many teams will play more radically and unrestrainedly during this period.

The Wizards' current lineup is perfect in Wang Xiao's opinion, and Leonard's progress and growth have also made this lineup more perfect. The only thing that can defeat this team now is injury.

Injuries are always the biggest problem that affects a team.

In the Wizards' main starting lineup, no matter who misses the playoffs due to injury, it will be an irreparable loss for Wang Xiao.

There is no need to say more about Curry and others. Even Javier McGee, who is averaging only about 25 minutes of playing time, is also very important. At least in the current stage where Whiteside has not yet fully grown up in the team, McGee's blocks, rebounds and mobility are indispensable links to the team.

Because of this concern, Wang Xiao was extremely careful when using Curry and others in the April game.

Wang Xiao accidentally had no choice. Although these guys from the Wizards are all talented and talented, they almost have a history of serious injuries, especially Curry. The 11-12 season should have been the period when Curry suffered the most serious injuries.

Wang Xiao has always been a little concerned, and there is no module for the coaching system to effectively prevent or treat injuries, and he has never seen it in the lottery draw.

If the system had similar functions, he wouldn't be so careful.

However, the current system functions are already buggy enough. Not only does it have growth template cards that directly change the player's potential, it has training modules that can improve the training effect of players, but it also has tactical modules that can directly enhance the players' tactical effects on the field.

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

Fortunately, the risks are not just the Wizards, but the entire league is facing such a dilemma.

Players such as Dwight Howard of the Magic, Amare Stoudemire of the Knicks, Derek Rose of the Bulls, and Ray Allen of the Celtics all suffered from injuries to varying degrees this season. Some of them are due to their age, while others are due to their too important tactical status in the team and overwork.

Among them, the one that Wang Xiao cares about the most is Rose.

The butterfly wings that his appearance flapped did not change the experience of this Fengcheng Rose.

In the shrinking season of the 11-12 season, Ross eventually suffered injuries due to his excessive playing time and frequent impact on the basket.

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

Due to his appearance, the Wizards became the number one team in the East. Because of this, the Bulls will not play against the 76ers in the first round of the playoffs.

Wang Xiao was not sure whether Ross would still have a torn cruciate ligament without playing against the 76ers, but judging from Tom Thibodeau's high frequency use of Ross, it would be a matter of time before Ross suffered serious injuries even if he didn't play against the 76ers. After all, his playing style is still too fierce and direct.

In April, to be on the safe side, Wang Xiao wanted Curry to take a few more games, but the premise was that it could not affect Curry's honor in competing for the regular season MVP.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Compared with the data of the two, although Durant's score is higher, it is inferior in other aspects. Whether it is assist, defensive, or even the team's contribution to winning is not as good as James.

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

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

Although the Trail Blazers have the Big Three of Durant, Aldridge and Jordan Jr., their record is not as good as the other three Thunder in time and space, plus Ibaka and Kendrick Perkins in the interior defense.

Although there are still about 15 games in April without playing, the Trail Blazers' record can only be guaranteed to be around 4,244 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 is more inclined to Curry.

Curry is his own disciple, so there is nothing wrong with him, but more importantly, Curry is really strong this year. The dominance he showed on the court is almost comparable to the 73-win Warriors in the 2015-16 season.

He averaged 5 three-pointers with a shooting rate of nearly 45%. If this wasn't a shrinking season, he might directly break the single-season three-point shooting record he just set last season, and it would be a big refresh.

Once Curry wins the regular season MVP for the second consecutive year, 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 had no reason not to support his disciples in competing for this award.
