The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

48 wins and 34 losses, with a winning percentage of 58%, ranking fourth in the Eastern Conference.

This record seems to be so-so, which is not bad, but if it is placed on Wang Xiao, it will be different.

This is the worst record since Wang Xiao started coaching an NBA team. Even when he coached the Wizards for the first time, he also led the Wizards to more than 50 regular victories, and then won 60+ games consecutively. It even broke the Bulls' record of 72 wins in the regular season.

But no one would question the decline in Wang Xiao's coaching level.

It was completely different then and now.

Although the Wizards had a lot of waste to do, there were still two All-Star players in the team, Jamison and Butler, and a superstar general Arenas as a bargaining chip.

But when Wang Xiao took over the Bucks, who did the Bucks have?

There is not even an All-Star in the team, and the highest annual salary in the entire team is a backup center Larry Sanders who basically does not play.

This is not a fair comparison, not to mention that the Eastern Conference today is completely different from a few years ago.

When Wang Xiao first coached the Wizards, it was still a traditional era when the West was strong and the East was weak. The strong teams and competitiveness in the West were much greater than those in the East.

But in the past few years, the situation has changed a lot. Anthony Deron moved to the East, and the Nets got Jeremy Lin... The most important thing is that under the leadership of Wang Xiao, the Wizards have grown into a team in the entire league. Everyone needs to look up to the Big Mac!

Although the East with many strong teams can't be said to have surpassed the West, it is by no means as simple as the so-called strong west and weak east that people always say.

In such an Eastern Division, leading a group of rookies and rookies to win 48 wins and rank fourth in the Eastern Conference is already quite an achievement in itself!

...

At the end of the regular season, the Eastern and Western teams that entered the playoffs ranked as follows: Eastern team, first place Washington Wizards: 65 wins and 17 losses.

Second place Cleveland Cavaliers: 60 wins and 22 losses.

Third place Brooklyn Nets: 52 wins and 30 losses.

Fourth place Milwaukee Bucks: 48 wins and 34 losses.

Fifth Atlanta Hawks: 46 wins and 36 losses.

Sixth place Chicago Bulls: 42 wins and 40 losses.

Seventh Toronto Raptors: 41 wins and 41 losses.

Eighth Boston Celtics: 38 wins and 44 losses.

In addition, the 9th-placed Philadelphia 76ers, the 10th-placed New York Knicks and the 11th-placed Miami Heat are all one game behind the eighth-placed Celtics. The specials are the same, but they are ranked ninth only because of the wins and losses between each other.

The record ranking in the Western Conference is the first: Portland Trail Blazers 62 wins and 20 losses.

Second place Los Angeles Clippers: 58 wins and 24 losses.

Third Memphis Grizzlies: 55 wins and 27 losses.

Fourth place San Antonio Spurs: 55 wins and 27 losses.

Fifth Sacramento Kings: 50 wins and 32 losses.

Sixth Dallas Mavericks: 46 wins and 34 losses.

Seventh New Orleans Pelicans: 44 wins and 38 losses.

Eighth Oklahoma City Thunder: 42 wins and 20 losses.

In this way, the matchups in the playoffs are also applied.

The fourth-ranked Bucks in the Eastern Conference will play the fifth-placed Eagles in the first round of the playoffs.

With the end of the regular season, the honors of various statistics were also born.

James Harden has accumulated a lot this season. He averaged 29.6 points per game and was elected as the scoring leader for the first time in his career. Reimbursement, when Wade was struggling with injuries, Harden was the best shooting guard in the league!

Ranked second in scoring is Russell Westbrook with 28.1 points.

The third place is Kevin Durant with 27.6 points.

Originally, this season would be a disastrous season for Durant. He was reimbursed for the injured season after only playing 27 games, and the Thunder missed the playoffs as a result.

But due to the butterfly effect, Durant went to the Trail Blazers and was not injured this season. This season, he averaged 27.6 points, 8.2 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game. Wizards.

In this season's regular season MVP selection list, Durant has always been firmly in the forefront, and has a high probability of winning the regular season MVP trophy.

This regular season MVP trophy, Durant can be said to have been waiting for a long time. According to the original history, he should have won this trophy in the 13-14 season, but the 73-win Wizards and Curry smashed his chance. .

Fortunately, God is fair, he did not have the regular season MVP trophy in the 13-14 season, he also avoided serious injuries in the 14-15 season by a blessing in disguise, and has a great hope of winning the regular season MVP trophy.

The judges are all aesthetically fatigued. Although the Wizards performed well this season and won a season-best 65 wins, compared to last season, they lost 8 more games.

Moreover, Curry's personal data this season is not excellent, averaging 24.4 points per game, only ranking sixth in the scoring list.

In fact, this can't be blamed on Curry. The lack of scoring is not because of his decline in ability, but because the Wizards have too many talents.

As the talents of George, Leonard and others exploded, more and more offensive proportions were assigned to them. This season, George Leonard and the two scored 20 points, and Thompson also averaged 16 points per game.

Both Butler and Green also want the ball and the number of shots, and the team can only further reduce Curry's shots.

It is extremely difficult for Curry, who has lost his personal data, to win the fourth regular season MVP of his career.

...

In the rebounding list, Jordan ranks first with an average of 15.2 rebounds per game, followed by Whiteside with 14.7 rebounds per game. If it was excavated and cultivated by Wang Xiao, then it will be more interesting.

The assist king is Chris Paul with an average of 10.2 assists per game.

The block leader was taken away by Anthony Davis, who averaged 2.9 blocks per game.

The top steals list is Kawhi Leonard with 2.4 steals per game.

...

At the end of the regular season, some people are happy and some are worried. The teams that failed to enter the playoffs have announced a holiday, and the players disbanded in place and started their vacation early.

And the top eight teams in the East and West are gearing up to prepare for the playoffs!

"Maybe many of you are participating in the playoffs for the first time."

Wang Xiao looked at the players in front of him and said lightly: "But I can tell you very clearly that I have a lot of experience in the playoffs! So you don't have to be nervous and worried at all. I know better than anyone how to play in the playoffs. Win in the playoffs."

The players all looked at Wang Xiao, and no one questioned Wang Xiao's words.

This is a matter of course. In the first coaching season of his career, Wang Xiao led the Wizards to the second round, and then won the O'Brien Cup three times in a row in five years.

To put it bluntly, if Wang Xiao does not leave the Wizards, I believe this year's championship will also have no suspense.
