Chapter 290: Injury

Usually, unless there is a favorite star or a favorite team, in most cases, people like the strong.
Victory is everything, no one hates the strong.
The Lakers can become NBA's most successful and popular club because it has the league's number one championship.
The entire NBA, in terms of championships, only the Celtics with 17 crowns are more than the Lakers.
But among the Celtics' 17 titles, there were 11 real titles won in ancient times. At that time, the Celtics had a luxury lineup and excellent coaches that almost monopolized the entire league, and they looked at it in the league.
At that time, it was still too far away for the current fans of the ball. In contrast, the five championships of the Lakers Magician period, the three consecutive championships of the ok combination period, and Kobe’s subsequent two championships are closer in time. People are impressive.
Not only nba, but also other sports.
In the football world, Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona almost monopolized the vast majority of football fans.
Now the Wizards have reached the peak in the league's dominance. The gorgeous style of play, the young and dynamic lineup and the achievements of the league are supported by the team. The team's "fans" are growing rapidly every day. .
This also made George, Thompson and Leonard's all-star votes have been increasing. Although it is still not as good as those old star players, but there are few new generation players.
The Wizards did not disappoint the fans who supported them, and continued to sound the horn of victory to win the next game.
In the January regular season, the Wizards won all 6 home games, and 11 away games also won 8 of them, winning a staggering 82%.
Understand that this is the case with 11 away games in a single month. The Wizards' home win rate is much higher than the away game. According to this situation, the Wizards have the possibility of impacting 70 wins in a single season this season.
However, Wang Xiao is well aware of the difficulty of winning 70 wins or more in a single season. Although the Wizards are very strong, they are slightly worse than the 73-winners in 15-16. Even the Warriors There is also a lot of luck in the 73 wins.
Because of this, although he wants to break the Bulls’ 72 win record, Wang Xiao does not want to put too much pressure on the players. Most of the Wizards players are not old. The pressure to defend the championship is very great for them. Adding a fire to something like breaking the record will most likely turn into a superfluous one.
At the end of January, the time entered February, Wang Xiao increased the intensity of the rest, the main players played fewer games on the road, and the time of the game was strictly controlled at home.
However, it is inevitable that there will be accidents under such careful circumstances.
At the beginning of February, in the home game against the Bucks, Caron Butler made a layup and collided with his opponent in the right knee during the layup. He fell down on the spot and did a detailed inspection after the game, and finally announced the reimbursement of the season.
This is something that Wang Xiao and even the Wizards didn’t expect. Especially Wang Xiao, as a passer-by, knew that Butler had suffered injuries after playing the Wizards for the Mavericks in the 10-11 season. The entire season was reimbursed, so the Mavericks missed the entire playoffs of that season and even all the games that eventually won the championship.

In this time and space, because of Wang Xiao's traversal, he was not traded to the Mavericks. He was not seriously injured in the 10-11 season, and he was still injured after two years.
Karon Butler’s reimbursement for the season was a very serious blow to the Wizards. Although playing time this season has further shrunk, Karon Butler is still an important scoring point on the bench. The entire Wizards substitute Butler 'S score can be ranked second, second only to Jamison.
Fortunately, the Wizards have sufficient reserves in the position of the swingman of the forward position. Both Jimmy Butler and Chandler Parsons can come in handy. Even Caron Butler's injury gave them more appearances and performances. Opportunity.
...
Karon Butler's injury made Wang Xiao more cautious.
He wasn't sure whether Butler's injury was an accident, or the butterfly effect caused by the injury during the 10-11 season.
The Wizards’ players have a history of injuries, not just Caron Butler. The team’s core, point guard Stephen Curry, has a history of serious injuries in another time and space.
Throughout the 11-12 season, Curry played only 26 games, with continuous injuries and stoppages. He was no better than Rose this season.
It is precisely because of the 11-12 season of continuous injuries that the Warriors and the Gou subsidiary lost their trust in Curry. The Warriors only offered Curry a four-year contract worth $44 million. It is a quotation for a humiliating "sex" sneaker contract.
Now, under the intervention of Wang Xiao, Curry has become the mvp for two consecutive regular seasons, and has a championship and fmvp, just signed a maximum salary contract with the Wizards, it is the time when the spring wind is proud.
Wang Xiao is very worried that Curry will be injured like Karon Butler and then reimbursed throughout the season, which is terrible!
Curry is strong and strong, but there is a weakness that cannot be ignored, it is too brittle.
As a superstar, with strong strength, he also needs a strong body to ensure adequate attendance. Like James, Kobe, Durant and other stars, although there have been injuries during the long career, most of them But all can stay healthy.
Almost subconsciously, Wang Xiao further reduced Curry's playing time. The average playing time of 35 minutes per game was further reduced to 32 minutes per game. He would take a rest when encountering high-intensity games such as continuous back-to-back games.
Wang Xiao's special protection for Curry caused Curry's personal data to decline further, from data close to 26 points and 8.5 assists to 23.8 points and 7.9 assists.
Although this data can still rank seventh in the scoring list and fourth in the assist list, but compared with the explosion data of the previous two seasons, such personal data is obviously inferior.
The decrease in Curry's playing time and attendance rate is directly reflected in the team's record.
In the face of 11 away games in January, the Wizards effectively maintained an 82% win rate, but after the increase in home games in February, the Wizards’ win rate decreased, losing several away games that should not be lost. .
With the failure of these games that should not be lost, the Wizards have completely lost the hope of impacting the record of winning. Many fans who are looking forward to the Wizards hitting 70 wins this season and even breaking the Bulls’ 72 wins are disappointed. .
