The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

Wang Xiao has the idea of ​​helping the Bucks, so naturally he is not just idle.

He didn't have any idea about Mallory Edens, after all, she was just a little girl who was underage.

But at the birthday party, Curry's words woke Wang Xiao a little bit.

Now Mallory is indeed still young, but in a few years, she will become a slim and tall girl.

It's not easy for him to start now, but it doesn't mean he won't be able to do it in the future?

For this cheerful and beautiful girl, Wang Xiao still has a good impression, and the other party has a rich father, no matter how you look at it, she is making a solid profit!

Of course, such an idea can only be hidden in Wang Xiao's animal-like heart at present. After all, if it is revealed at this time, it will be regarded as a pervert in all likelihood, and will be chased and killed by Malorie's father with a machete...

Helping the Bucks in the draft and paving the way for them to rise is also Wang Xiao's sideways detour, a means of flattering the possible future father-in-law.

...

After meeting with Mallory in New Orleans and watching the All-Star Weekend, Wang Xiao returned to the Wizards and began to work on the next game arrangement.

After the All-Star Weekend, it means that the regular season has entered an intense sprint stage. Starting from March, more than half of the teams in the league will do their best for the playoffs or the ranking of the playoffs. It is definitely a very important test for the Wizards who are aiming to break the Bulls' 72 wins.

At the trade deadline, the Wizards did not make any trades and reinforcements, nor did they need them at all.

Instead, the team chose to renew the contract with George who was still injured.

This matter was not chosen by Wang Xiao, but was actively contacted and negotiated by George's agent, the team owner, and general manager Grunfeld.

George's injury made his agent and family feel a little uneasy. After all, George is in a contract year at this time. If he is not injured, then George will definitely get a maximum salary, and according to his performance this season, he is selected as the best It is also very possible that the lineup will activate the Curry clause (the original Ross clause).

But this injury made the situation very complicated.

After all, the NBA is a commercial league. No one will use the maximum salary to renew a player who is seriously injured and uncertain about his status after the injury.

In the end, the two sides reached an agreement. George and the Wizards completed the contract extension ahead of schedule and signed a four-year contract of 62 million yuan, with an average of 15.5 million yuan per year. A little bit of a loss.

Before signing the contract, George also approached Wang Xiao. Wang Xiao's suggestion at the time was not to worry, and after the free market opened in the summer, he would shop around and get a higher offer.

As the head coach of the Wizards, Wang Xiao's advice to George is already very neutral or even biased towards George. After all, he is very sure that this injury will not affect George's competitive state.

In another time and space, George had received more serious injuries than a sprained ankle, but he returned from the injury and was still in excellent condition, even playing the best performance of his career a few seasons later.

But what Wang Xiao understands is not understood by everyone, especially George's agent who thinks he is very farsighted.

With his strong encouragement, George and the Wizards completed the contract extension ahead of schedule.

In fact, this is not to blame George's agent. Since George was injured, although the Wizards have been slightly affected on the offensive end, Green, who replaced George in the starting lineup, has performed better every game. This undoubtedly gave George's agent a lot. big pressure.

In the NBA, there have been too many main players injured, and the substitute players took advantage of the opportunity to seize the opportunity, but after the main players returned from their injuries, they found that they had no place for them.

And when he vaguely inquired about the general news from various teams, he decisively believed that George's ability to sign a four-year 62 million contract was already a very good deal.

...

As the head coach, Wang Xiao must be very satisfied that George can successfully renew his contract with the Wizards. What he offered was a five-year, $90 million contract.

But Wang Xiao has already given a pertinent opinion, which almost encouraged the other party to go to the free market to bid for auction, but the other party still chose to renew the contract in advance, so what else can Wang Xiao say?

This incident is a loss for George, but it is a good thing for the Wizards, because George's contract has shrunk, which means that when the Wizards renew Thompson and Leonard in the future, the pressure It will be correspondingly much smaller, and if it works properly, they can even keep two people at the same time next summer.

Of course, at that time, even if Thompson and Leonard are forced to eat the two maximum salary contracts, Thomas Jr., Jimmy Butler, Chandler Parsons and others on the bench will definitely not be able to stay. After all, the strength of the Wizards will shrink to a large extent.

Therefore, this season can already be regarded as the strongest and most united season for the Wizards. Breaking the Bulls' record of 72 wins and completing three consecutive championships, this is the best opportunity!

...

The time has entered March. In the first game in March, the Wizards regained their strength and got rid of the haze of George's absence. Facing the Nets, which ranked third in the Eastern Conference this season, they showed a strong offense. firepower.

Facing Jeremy Lin's defense, Curry made 10 of 16 shots, 5 of 10 three-pointers, and scored 33 points and 6 assists including free throws. Thompson also scored 26 points. first battle.

It seems that he suddenly found his status. In the next few games, the Splash Brothers combination of Curry and Thompson showed a strong scoring ability.

In an away game against the Grizzlies on March 3, the Wizards won 118:101, Curry scored 24 points and Thompson scored 30 points.

On March 5, against the Jazz at home, the Wizards won 123:116, Curry scored 29 points and Thompson scored 25 points.

In an away game against the Bucks on March 8, the Wizards won 104:91, Curry scored 27 points and Thompson scored 24 points.

...

In the blink of an eye, in the five-game winning streak at the beginning of March, both of them averaged 50+ points per game for the team, which is amazingly efficient.

People were surprised to find that after George was injured, the Wizards only seemed to struggle in a few games, and then quickly adjusted, and the offensive firepower became even more terrifying!

Of course, this is just an illusion. The Splash Brothers naturally looked down upon each other when they got up. Another reason why the Warriors of Time and Space won 73 wins in the regular season is because of this. The Splash Brothers who shoot the ball tend to struggle a bit.

Curry has not won the FMVP all the year round. Of course, it may have something to do with Hook Company secretly influencing the votes of media reporters. However, his poor performance in the finals cannot be completely ignored. After all, if Curry averaged With a stat of 30+10, even if Hook has all-hands and eyes, it is impossible to hack his FMVP.

While the team was making great strides, Wang Xiao was thinking about the candidates who were suitable for the playoffs...
