The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

In the end, Wang Xiao fixed Curry's playing time at 20 minutes.

20 minutes, for a first-year rookie, is already a pretty good playing time, more than the Celtics Garnett, Pierce and others.

Curry scored 16 points in 20 minutes of playing time, and he performed very well.

The winner of the game is the Eastern All-Star team led by Wang Xiao.

Relying on Wade's 28 points and 11 assists and James' 25 points and 6 assists, the Eastern All-Stars defeated the Eastern All-Stars 142:140, and Wade, who won the double-double, also became the MVP of the All-Star Game.

No one except the "fans" of the All-Star Weekend will care about, but when the All-Star Weekend is over, the real highlight will start!

The first is the trading deadline after the end of the All-Star.

Before the trade deadline, all teams in the league are carrying out large and small trade reinforcement.

On February 19, the Houston Rockets, the New York Knicks and the King Salamento made a three-party deal involving nine players. The Rockets sent McGrady to New York in exchange for the King's star Kenyon Martin.

Although the Rockets dismantled the Yao Mai combination that the Chinese football fans love, they are also fighting for the blood of the playoffs in the next game.

The Wizards team of Wang Xiao was quite low-key in this trading event and did not conduct any transactions.

Wang Xiao himself has received a lot of quotations from the teams, most of them are interested in Curry and Harden, and some teams want to get two experienced veterans of Jamison and Butler.

However, the chips they provided were just like coping with Hanako. Wang Xiao was not interested at all, so he passed them all.

The only thing that interested him more was the transaction application for Haywood.

The Dallas Mavericks are very interested in the Wizards center Heywood, and proposed the idea of ​​using a first-round pick plus a bench player in exchange for Heywood.

Haywood's contract will be renewed after the end of this season. After returning from injury this season, Heywood can average 11 points and 8 rebounds in 28 minutes per game. His defensive ability is quite good.

Heywood has made it clear that he wants to sign a big contract, and in Wang Xiao’s memory, another time and space Heywood seems to have been traded by the Wizards to the Mavericks, and signed a 6-year value with the Mavericks in July 2010. $55 million contract!

With Little Jordan, Wang Xiao was not prepared to renew Haywood, let alone a big contract.

Although the value of the Mavericks' first round of signing is not high, it is always stronger than Bai Xiong after Haywood's contract expires?

But after careful consideration, Wang Xiao still rejected the deal.

The reason is very simple, the Wizards' inner line is inseparable from Haywood.

Although Jordan and McKee performed very well, they were not as good as the experienced Haywood.

The game after the trading deadline will be more intense, and the playoffs will be played after the regular season!

Wang Xiao needs Haywood to charge for the Wizards during this time.

So even if Heywood is going to be taken away by Bai Xiu afterwards, he will earn nothing and Wang Xiao will have to keep him on the team.

auzw.com Before the All-Star weekend, the league’s 30 teams have generally played 50 games. During a normal regular season, each team must play 82 games, while the All-Star weekend After that, there will be the next 32 games.

These 32 games will determine which 16 teams will participate in the playoffs this season.

The teams with lower rankings in the record will start to fight for the playoff tickets, and the top teams will not be too comfortable.

Playoff games are played in order of ranking. The better the record, the weaker the opponents will be.

In the Eastern Conference, the Cavaliers are far ahead, but the Wizards in second place and the Magic in third place are not far behind.

The Magic are very similar to the record of overtaking, regaining the second position in the east. In addition to the opponents being relatively weaker, Van Gundy has another consideration.

As far as the current situation is concerned, as long as there are no surprises in the second and third positions in the East, basically the Magic and the Wizards are competing, and once the second round of the playoffs, the Magic and the Wizards will eliminate their opponents. After that, the two teams will play a life-and-death knockout.

If the Magic record ranks second in the East, then the two teams will have the advantage of home and away when they meet in the playoffs.

Van Gundy doesn't think the Magic will lose when they encounter the Wizards in the playoffs. The playoffs and the regular season are completely different rhythm games. They are stronger against "sex" and test the team's defensive ability.

A team like the Wizards, who relies on three-point shooting, can't compete with the defensive Magic team once the shot is misaligned in the playoffs.

The offense is as strong as the Suns two years ago, isn't it also falling into the playoffs every year?

However, Van Gundy is accustomed to being careful. In case of accident, he won the second place in the East and has no harm in maintaining the home advantage.

But contrary to Van Gundy's expectations, when the All-Star weekend ended and most teams' desire to win became stronger, the Wizards still maintained a very high winning rate, constantly using the offense and three points to win the next game. A game!

After the All-Star weekend, Stephen Curry's condition is getting better and better. It seems that the first game in the All-Star game gave him great encouragement and made him quite active.

In the remaining 7 games in February, Curry averaged 31 points and 6 assists per game. The Wizards won 6 games in 7 games under the general performance of Curry's small universe. Curry also because of the second half of the month Explosive performance, was elected the best player in the East in February.

As a rookie, Curry was the first player of the month to be elected as the best player of the month. In February, when he was elected as the best player of the month, Curry averaged 11 three-pointers per game and hit 4.8. The rate is 43.6%.

At present, the player with the highest three-point shooting rate in the league is also the Wizards. It is Mcmiller, who can average 4.2 three-pointers per game, hitting 2 and shooting 47.6%.

In fact, players who averaged more than 40% of their three-pointers per game are basically averaging less than 5 three-pointers per game.

Curry averaged 11 three-pointers per game, but still maintained a 43.6% shooting rate, which is quite incredible.

It only takes a little comparison to understand how incredible.

Arenas, who was traded to the Timberwolves by Wang Xiao last year, is still playing in the Timberwolves due to no gun incident. He has averaged 21.3 points per game since the season. He averaged 19 shots per game and hit 7.5 goals. The hit rate is 39.5%.

The Warriors guard Monta Ellis, who is currently ranked seventh in the scoring list, can average 25.5 points per game, and his shooting percentage is only 44%.

Curry can compete with these guards only by his three-point shooting, showing how accurate his three-pointer is!

In fact, not only Curry, the Wizards' three-point shooting rate is staggering.

From the start of the new season in October to the end of February, the Wizards averaged 42 three-pointers per game and hit 16 with a shooting percentage of around 38%. This shooting rate ranks second in the league, only It is second to the Phoenix Suns with a 41% three-point percentage.

The Suns are shooting half as many three-pointers per game as the Wizards!

Basically, if it weren't for this excellent three-point shooting percentage, the Wizards will definitely not have the results like now.
