Chapter 73: Regular season debut

The Wizards' regular season opener opponent was the Dallas Mavericks, a veteran strong team in the west. In 2006, the team's core Nowitzki led the team to the finals, but was defeated by the super-God Wade. The Warriors staged the Black Eight Miracle early in the first round of the two-year playoffs.
The current Mavericks team's lineup tends to be perfect. Without Wang Xiao's intervention, after the introduction of Tyson Chandler next year, the Mavericks that have reached the perfect lineup will pass the road and will reach the finals again. The Heat of the Giants completed revenge.
Most people are not curious.
Even in the era of Arenas, the Wizards faced the Mavericks with more wins and fewer losses, not to mention that this inexplicable wizard is not even the core of the Wizards.
...
Dallas, in the locker room of the Airline Center Gymnasium, Wang Xiao took a deep breath as he watched the players changing clothes.
To be honest, this is the first time he has stood as the head coach in the nba official game venue. It is false to say that he is not nervous. Although he has imagined such scenes countless times, but when this day comes, he still bears The heartbeat accelerated.
"Guys, this is the regular season. It's different from the summer league and preseason. It's coming!" Wang Xiaoyang said, looking around the players: "This is my first game as a coach in nba. The official game is the same for some of you. Don’t be nervous, stay focused, try your best to fight for each goal and cheer!"
Harden nodded immediately: "That's right coach! We must win this game, this is the first victory of nba career!"
"Yes! Do them!"
The atmosphere in the locker room was very warm, and the players were very excited.
But Wang Xiao's eyebrow "hair" was slightly wrinkled.
Although a little nervous, he still pays close attention to the status of each player. He is keenly aware that there is a little silence in Curry today, which is somewhat inconsistent with the "sex" style he has always escaped.
"Are you nervous?"
Wang Xiao stepped forward and patted Curry on the shoulder.
"Don't be too nervous, this is just a game. You have to play at least 82 games this season, maybe more."
"Okay, coach." Curry nodded, a smile on his face.
After looking at the time, Wang Xiao clapped his hands and said, "Okay, ready to go out and show you to the world!"
The official regular season, whether in terms of attention or other aspects, far exceeds the preseason.
The Mavericks' home stadium center stadium is almost full, and the huge noise is completely different from the preseason.
The dj introduced the home team Mavericks starters, Kidd, Nowitzki in a very passionate tone. The appearance of these stars can make the stadium cheer.
On such occasions, it is not particularly friendly to rookies and other rookies whose first match is away. After all, in the past, they only saw such scenes in front of the audience or on television, but now, they are standing on the field and are As the visiting team.
Sure enough, the team fell into a passive position as soon as the game started.
At the start of the jump ball, Haywood successfully jumped the ball, Curry got the ball quickly to promote the ball.
Standing in front of him is the template prototype of Jason Kidd, the legendary point guard and Jeremy Lin.
"Yo boy, welcome to nba."
Looking at Curry, Kidd said hello.
"Thank you." Curry nodded his thanks, but Kidd laughed at the next moment.
"This is not greeting you, the nba is a cruel arena."
auzw.com In his speech, Kidd stepped forward, and the whole person was attached to Curry’s body, and his hand poked towards the basketball in Curry’s hand like lightning. Close to the "force" snatch!
Curry froze for a moment, but as a point guard, he was able to protect the ball in an instant and glanced at Kidd's gap in an instant.
The so-called "forced" snatch, once close too close, will naturally "expose" the breakthrough slot.
Curry dribbled behind a neat and sharp body. When he was lowered, he passed by Kidd and rushed towards the inside.
But before taking two steps, Curry felt something was wrong.
Yu Guang swept to his side, and Curry saw Kidd following him.
"Follow up?"
Slightly stunned, Curry immediately understood that the reason why Kidd can get past Kidd so easily is that the other party deliberately did it. Will he deliberately take a half step and let himself hit the basket?
At the next moment, Curry felt that his waist was being pushed by a force, unable to sprint, at such a speed, even if he rushed into the inside, there would be no threat!
"In this case!"
Curry gritted his teeth and stopped abruptly, hoping to take a short time to pull his jumper and shoot.
But at the moment when he scored the ball, a powerful palm was accurately shot on the basketball. This record was so strong that Curry couldn't catch the basketball out of hand.
Kidd, the owner of this hand, immediately grabbed the basketball.
"Kid! Beautiful steals! Followed by a long pass! Marion received a pass from Kidd! Beautiful! Score!"
The narrator was passionately commenting on the side, but Wang Xiao frowned again.
After a bad away debut, another unfortunate situation happened.
Jason Kidd, of all the current point guards in the league, this guy's defense is definitely the top. Even Jeremy Lin using a template card may not be as good.
Although with his age, Kidd does not have the agility and agility of the past, but his strength has not been reduced at the same time, and his experience has become more mature and spicy.
Curry encountered such an old monster in the first official game, and his luck was really bad!
Wang Xiao couldn't help but think that if the opponents of the first regular season Wizards were the Suns, Nash's defensive ability would definitely give Curry confidence.
Think about it, Wang Xiao can't sit on the sidelines and watch the excitement like the preseason.
He stood up and walked to the sidelines.
"Oh? We saw Wang Xiao stand up! He actually stood up from the start to go to the side to direct the game? It is said that his preseason games are all sitting on the bench in a daze, many people suspect Wang Xiao is It’s not just cheering the players on the seats, it seems not so now..."
"Hey, Stephen! You're standing opposite Kidd! Are you going to play against him? Use your brain! How do you practice in your usual training?"
Hearing Wang Xiao’s words, Curry nodded and faced Kidd again after the ball was in the half. Curry looked inwards.
Haywood, who was stuck in the post, immediately pulled out to help Curry pick and roll.
Pick-and-roll tactics have always been the simplest and most practical tactics in the league, especially for Curry, a dual energy that can shoot and pass.
After Haywood's wide body blocked Kidd, Curry immediately dribble the ball to a better position, and then made a quick three-point shot.
Basketball crossed an arc in the sky, and...
"frame--!"
