Of course, Wang Xiao will not let Harden, a future league superstar, simply play the bench.

There can only be one core team for any team.

As strong as Wade, after James came to the Heat, he also had to sacrifice his possession.

Similarly, after Durant joined the Warriors, Curry's number of offenses on the ball was greatly reduced. Even if Curry's offense was very efficient, he had to make way for the more efficient Durant.

Curry and Harden, Wang Xiao prefer Curry as the core of the team.

Although Harden made some sacrifices, in the substitute position, in order to compensate Harden, Wang Xiao can give him a lot of playing time and ball rights.

When Harden first arrived at the Thunder, he also played off the bench, and played for three full years.

Although Harden is currently ahead of him by Wang Xiao, he is not much different from Thunder in other aspects.

"Okay, coach, I'm happy to play off the bench."

Faced with Wang Xiao's conditions, Harden was thrilled.

Although as a substitute, it is not a bad thing if each game can guarantee more than 30 minutes of playing time and have the ball in hand.

"Very good." Wang Xiao nodded in satisfaction, then remembered something. "However, don't forget our rules when training. You must make more than half of your shots with three-pointers, and you need to ensure your shooting percentage."

"No problem, coach!"

Harden nodded fiercely.

Curry started and Harden came off the bench, so the team’s tone was set.

When Curry is on the court, the team's tactics will revolve around Curry, and when Harden comes on the court, the ball is transferred to Harden's hands, on the one hand to share the pressure for Curry, on the other hand, it can also make the strength not Vulgar Harden played.

Wang Xiao does not know how effective this arrangement is, no matter what tactics can only be verified in actual combat.

On October 25, 2009, the Wizards played the Phoenix Suns at home in the final round of preseason games.

This is a matchup game.

The Suns have been turbulent in the past two years, and consecutive losses in the playoffs have allowed D'Antoni to leave the get out of class. The departure of Marion and others has further weakened the team's firepower.

Even so, the Suns are still one of the strongest powerhouses in the West, and as long as Nash is still on, this team is the most gorgeous offensive team in the league, not to mention there is an All-Star power forward Stoudemire.

Steve Nash is a recognized master passer, with a sharp offensive, wide vision, and gorgeous passing. Even if he is the best point guard in the history of nba, Nash can definitely be on the list. Although he does not have the honor of the championship, he But has two regular season mvp trophies.

It is extremely difficult for the point guard to win the mvp trophy in the NBA, and for the second consecutive year, only the magician Johnson has done it before Nash, and only Nash after Curry, who opened the Kuritian state.

As strong as Kidd, and never won the regular season mvp trophy.

Of course, Kidd’s failure to own the mvp trophy has a lot to do with luck. In his strongest years, the opponents competing for mvp were the top O’Neal, Allen Iverson, Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett, although Kidd's performance is not weaker than these superstars, but the team's record is relatively worse than after all, can only helplessly hate.

Nash of Mvp Liangzhuang is very strong, but compared to Kidd, he has a fatal flaw-weak defense.

Nash's weak defense is different from Curry.

auzw.com Although it is always said that Curry’s defense is poor, it is the weakest of the Warriors’ starters, but if Curry is removed from the Warriors, all of the 30 teams in the league If you compare the starting point guards, you will find that his defensive ability can be in the middle and upper level among the 30 starting point guards.

The reason why Curry will give people a weak sense of defense, only because his teammates defense is too strong, so that many team stars once faced with the Warriors, will choose "sexual" through the pick and roll misplaced Curry.

Nash is different. His defense is really weak, even if it is placed in all the point guards of the 30 teams in the league, it is also at the bottom.

So from the beginning of this game, the two sides have entered a confrontation.

The rhythm of both sides is very fast, Nash can't prevent Curry, and Curry also can't stare at Nash.

But playing, Nash felt something was wrong.

Although both sides are playing tactics, most of them use breakthrough points to pass the ball to Aldridge and others to attack the basket. On the Wizards side, Curry frequently uses the center center to pick and pull. Three points out of space.

After a few rounds, the Sun with a good hit rate actually fell behind, and the first quarter of the game is not over, the Wizards have already lost 12 crazy three-pointers!

Curry made 5 of 6 3-pointers, Jamison 1 of 3, Green 1 of 2 and Butler 1 of 1!

With just three points, the Wizards scored 24 points in the first quarter!

At the end of the first quarter, the Wizards scored 34 points in a single quarter, and comprehensively suppressed the sun with 29 points.

Immediately following the second quarter, the lineup of the two sides rotated significantly, and the Wizards Harden Beverley and others played.

The sun, who thought the Wizards' attacking rhythm would slow down, was shocked to find that this group of guys' attacking rhythm was even more exaggerated than the first quarter.

Harden, who holds a lot of balls, constantly uses breakthroughs to hit the rim and then divide the ball. The Wizards' three-point rain has no thought of stopping.

By the end of the half, the Wizards had cast 23 three-pointers. Although the three-point shooting rate in the second quarter had decreased, they still scored 28 points. The gap between the two teams not only did not narrow but increased by 5 Points, the difference between points has expanded to double digits.

In the face of Nash's weak defense, Curry feels quite well, how to throw, how many times to hold the ball and break through to force Nash.

The performance of Curry's highlights surprised the Suns, and he even started to replace Jason Richardson with a better defense for Curry.

But Curry, who was already feeling warm, couldn't stop it.

In the third quarter, Curry made 4 of 7 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, and scored 10 points in a single quarter. He scored a total of 39 points in the third quarter!

In the fourth quarter, Curry did not play again, because the scores of the two teams have no suspense.

In the third quarter, the difference between the two teams has widened to more than 20 points. Since it was a preseason game, the Sun did not mean to catch up, and directly replaced all the main players to let the bench come on to exercise.

Wang Xiao also replaced the bench player, and the two sides ended the fourth quarter tepidly.

Curry's performance in this game was amazing for many people, 39 points in three quarters, 9 of 15 three-pointers in the game, shooting as high as 60%.

After the game, Nash described Curry in an interview, "He is like a sight, it's astonishing."

Curry's 39-point performance in three quarters occupies the headlines of major sports newspapers that day. Many people were surprised. He didn't expect this thin boy to have such a strong scoring ability.

But surprised by surprise, many fans of the Wizards are still watching.

After all, this is only a pre-season game. There is no point in winning or losing. The regular season is the real battlefield for nba players.

With the end of the last round of preseason games, the nba regular season is finally coming!
