"January has passed, and the Wizards have only lost two games this month. Looking at the past half of the season, they have only lost four games, with a record of 41 wins and 4 losses. In the next second half of the schedule, can they continue to maintain their current winning rate and break the Bulls' regular season record of 72 wins?"

...

In the locker room, the Wizards players looked at the news about the Wizards broadcast in sports news, all with joy and excitement.

At the beginning of the season, they may still be skeptical of Wang Xiao’s bold statements - the statement that broke the Bulls’ record of 72 wins, but now no one will doubt it, they can really do it!

Is there anything more exciting than seeing yourself making history?

"Guys, you did a very beautiful job." Wang Xiao looked at the players in front of him with a smile. "But you must not take it lightly. There is still nearly half of the schedule in the regular season, and the second half of the game is definitely much more difficult to deal with than the first half. If you are not careful, you will lose the effort!"

Wang Xiao is not an exaggeration. In the second half of the schedule, those teams close to the threshold of the playoffs will fight to win desperately in order to enter the playoffs.

At the same time, the first half of the schedule also consumed a lot of the players' energy and physical fitness, which would also make it very difficult for away games in the second half of the schedule to play back to back or even back to back.

"In the next game, I will increase the rotation level as appropriate so that every player can have enough rest time." Wang Xiao looked at the players and said very seriously and seriously. "Everyone, please be sure to protect yourself on the court and not do dangerous moves or behaviors. As long as you can maintain your health, we are invincible!"

...

Wang Xiao has always attached great importance to and paid attention to the health problems of each player. As long as someone has discomfort in some parts of his body, he will simply arrange a rotational rest or a large-scale examination.

Many young players on the team are very confused and puzzled by Wang Xiao's behavior. After all, the Wizards can be regarded as one of the youngest teams in the league. The team is full of strong young people, and the probability of being injured is not high.

Only Wang Xiao knows how many talented players in the league have ruined their entire career due to injuries.

Derek Rose, Brandon Roy, and even Greg Oden…

The Wizards have the strongest and most luxurious lineup in the league, which also makes the Wizards' only opponent now, which is injury.

As long as you ensure the health of all players and break the Bulls' 72 wins, you can win three consecutive championships in the playoffs.

...

However, there are unexpected changes in the sky, and people will suffer misfortunes and good fortune.

It's often like this, and I'm afraid of anything...

"Squeak squeak--!"

A whistle sounded, and George covered his ankle and fell to the ground in pain.

"Oh! Oh my god, Paul is injured! Through slow motion replay, we can see that when he broke through and landed with the ball, he accidentally stepped on the instep of his teammate's instep, and then twisted his ankle..."

George, who fell to the ground, seemed very painful and could not stand up at all. Finally, he limped back to the locker room with the help of the team doctor.

On the sidelines, Wang Xiao's face looked ugly.

He didn't expect that he could not defend himself even if he had to defend himself.

George just took a game a few days ago and was in good health and had no problems.

Even in this game, the Wizards' opponent was not a strong team. Wang Xiao also arranged for the shooting guard Thompson to take a rotation rest, and the team was in the lead throughout the game.

This time the injury was completely an accident, just like walking out of the street and being hit by an out-of-control car.

After George was injured and left the court, the Wizards successfully won the game, but the team did not have the joy of winning.

Because George's injury was reported, he had a serious ankle sprain and was expected to miss all games in the 13-14 season, including the playoffs.

George's season reimbursement!

This news exploded over the head of the Wizards like a bolt from the blue.

As the team's second scorer, George averaged nearly 23 points per game this season. At the same time, the abilities he showed on the defensive end are also very dependent on. As a small forward, he can swing in the small forward and power forward at will, making the Wizards' lineup more flexible and changeable.

Such an important main player's season reimbursement will have a great blow to the Wizards and will even directly affect the team's title defense.

Fortunately, the Wizards have the most abundant reserves, which are the talents on the front line.

Drummond Green became the Wizards' starting power forward instead of George and quickly stabilized the situation.

Green's defensive ability is not inferior to George, and even faces inside players with a tougher defensive style than George.

Although his scoring ability is far inferior to George on the offensive end, his ability to assist and pass the ball is slightly inferior to George.

Green's outstanding performance in the starting position has not greatly affected the Wizards' record, which has unexpectedly been many people.

But Wang Xiao knew very well that George and Green still had a huge gap in strength. After all, one was trained in the training module for nearly four years, while the other was less than two years.

As expected.

On February 18, the Wizards played against the Hawks at home, and the Wizards fell into a scoring drought, scoring only 88 points in the game, and finally lost to the Hawks at 88:92.

Immediately afterwards, on February 23, in the away game against the Cavaliers, the Wizards lost the game again at 93:96.

Although there was a home defeat against the Grizzlies between the two defeats and there was no two consecutive defeats, losing two games in such a short time was the first time the Wizards encountered in the past two years.

The Cavaliers, who won the game, were ecstatic, as if they had found a way to defeat the Wizards, and the Wizards fans were also a little panicked.

Green is not George after all. Although he is excellent, he cannot score like George.

The Wizards' offensive firepower is very strong, very strong.

But this is based on the two Splash brothers Curry and Thompson.

Once the Splash Brothers feels cold, the Wizards' offensive rhythm will be deadlocked.

In the past, when faced with this situation, George would stand up and score for the Wizards with his extremely efficient mid-range shooting, just like Durant of the Warriors in another time and space.

Now, without George, the Wizards will not have a player who can provide stable scoring output.

Of course, on the bench of the Wizards, there are also forwards such as Caron Butler, Jimmy Butler and Chandler Parsons, but their scoring efficiency is also not comparable to George.
Chapter completed!
