The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

This is obviously a very frightening thing.

The reason is very simple, the Heat team James has been considered super-level play, playing his best competitive level.

But what about the Wizards?

Almost all players are playing at ordinary standards.

Curry 26 points, George 23 points, Thompson 20 points.

Although these scores are not low, it is definitely not a good performance for several players.

But it is such a lukewarm, no-one Wizards team that is in a particularly hot state, but the Heat team led by James who cut the whole game with 40+ triple doubles is "forcing" into a desperate situation!

If Curry plays even better here and scores one or two more three points, the game may have ended early...

Of course, at the time of writing the report, the reporters still decisively chose "sex" and forgot about it. After all, the league now has a tendency to shape the Wizards into a league with evil people.

In the league, the record is invincible in the world, the jealous talent reserve, plus a young head coach who likes to lead the rhythm and provoke the right and wrong, this shape is obviously easier to attract attention.

...

This loss to the Heat made Wang Xiao feel a little unhappy, but he did not fully care about it. After all, coming to Japan, the regular season or two will not explain anything. The playoffs are the real venue for the real game. .

But Leonard's condition worried him a bit.

As the only superstar in the team that can rival Curry in future hard power, Leonard's strength and growth "sex" is unmatched by George and Jimmy Butler.

Leonard has always been known for his maturity and stability. In another space-time Spurs period, he was also known as the Little Stone Buddha and formed a duo of facial paralysis with Duncan.

Wang Xiao thought that players like Leonard were the least to worry about, but it turned out that he still thought too simple.

Being beaten on the field is not the same as being lore in front of you.

As a first-year rookie, when he desperately confronted James, he was faced with a lore by the other side. Such a blow was hard to relieve even Leonard.

In the following games and daily training, Wang Xiao obviously felt that Leonard was always hard to concentrate and had a sense of absent-mindedness.

Fortunately, after last season's finals, Wang Xiao, who had a long time to eat, has already proposed to the team to hire a psychologist. Although the team did not eventually hire a full-time psychologist as Wang Xiao thought, , But also hired a famous local psychologist in Washington.

This doctor will not go with the team, but at a fixed time every month, the Wizards players will come to his clinic to talk to ensure the players' mental health.

auzw.com After discovering that Leonard was in poor condition, Wang Xiao immediately let Leonard meet with a psychologist to understand the situation.

The result was not what Wang Xiao expected. After a simple conversation, the psychologist concluded that Leonard now lacks self-confidence and is skeptical about his performance on the field. Hanging in his heart is hard to release.

"Ke Huai is a child with a very strong psychology. Give him enough time, and he will definitely be able to adjust himself, but the time and state of the adjustment is difficult to say." The psychologist said this to Wang Xiao. "My suggestion is that it is best to get some outside help, which will help him build confidence more easily."

Since professional psychologists have said so, Wang Xiao naturally dare not neglect.

In the following games, Leonard's playing time began to increase gradually, and the team's tactical arrangement gradually moved closer to him.

Leonard's offensive ability in the rookie period was not excellent. More often, he relied on his "athletic" athleticism to hit the rim to cause damage, but the poor offensive methods could not stand the cost of the shots!

On March 21, the Wizards played against the Nets. Leonard played 35 minutes in the game, 8 of 22 shots, plus 22 points in free throws. Although the scoring efficiency was not high, the shooting rate did not even reach 40. %, but it is true that the Wizards have the highest score except Curry.

On the 22nd, the Wizards played against the Pacers at home. Leonard became the Wizards' most played time in the game. He made 24 shots in 37 minutes, hitting 10 goals, scoring 24 points, and shooting 41%.

On the 24th, the Wizards played against the Hawks at home. Leonard once again became the team's main point of attack, playing 34 minutes, shooting 21 goals and 21 goals, and getting 20+ again with a 42% shooting rate!

Three consecutive games, three consecutive 20+, this has made Leonard's personal data has greatly improved, averaging a double-digit mark.

Although Leonard's performance is good, but still a bit dragged down the Wizards' offensive rhythm.

Curry, Thompson, and George were the first three scoring points of the Wizards, with a shooting rate of more than 45%. At the same time, the scoring efficiency is amazing. At the same time, the versatile offensive means also allows them to help other teammates create attraction no matter where they are. Firepower creates space.

But when Leonard became the main point of attack, it did not play such a role.

After all, his current offensive level is a bit worse than the previous three, and he is easily targeted on the field.

Just over 40% hit rate can explain a lot of problems.

Many people do not understand why the Wizards have so much offensive firepower, Wang Xiao had to die by Leonard, but Wang Xiao and the Wizards coaching staff can clearly find that these games, as the main force Leonard played better than one game, and played more and more confident. While the offensive end was getting better, the link he was good at, that is, the defensive end was also more perfect. He and Thompson, George three The defensive line of people has also become more solid!

Thanks to this, although the Wizards' offensive efficiency has dropped significantly, the further improvement in defensive quality still allows the team to continue to maintain its strong competitiveness in the regular season.

And on March 25, when the Wizards challenged the Knicks away, Leonard finally ushered in a real explosion.

In this game, he played against Cameron Anthony, who may be second only to James in the league.

Due to the butterfly effect, Anthony has not been injured this season like another time and space. It may be that Deron Williams helped him share a lot of pressure on the offensive side. In short, Anthony has not had anything since the shrinking season. Injury.

So far, Anthony has scored 24.5 points per game, ranking in the top ten in the scoring list, and is also the player with the highest score in the position of Durant and James' small forward.

He played with the Knicks a few times before this season. Leonard had played with Anthony. Relying on his defensive skills and wingspan advantage, Leonard made Anthony feel uncomfortable, but also That's all.
