The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

In terms of strength, the Big Three of the Celtics may have been far behind the Big Three of the Heat, but the three old guys of the Celtics have a tacit understanding and cooperation that the Big Three of the Heat do not have.

The regular season has gone on for nearly 30 rounds, and the problem of the Heat's big three ball rights distribution still exists. The question of who should be the main ball holder between James and Wade is still being debated endlessly. Bosh is still the most favored player. Look down on the unlucky guy who is the first to take the blame for losing.

In the Celtics, such a situation will not happen at all.

With the performance of the Big Three, the Celtics tied the score before the end of the first quarter, and the two sides ended the first quarter with a score of 27:27.

After the start of the second quarter, Wang Xiao made adjustments to the lineup.

Harden and George played one after another, and Butler and Jamison went off to rest.

With George on the court, the Wizards began to speed up.

At this time, the five players on the Wizards field are Curry, Harden, Danny Green, George and Jordan. When the Wizards with such a lineup began to deliberately speed up the pace of the game, the Celtics immediately felt a little difficult. Parrying, especially when the old Shark O'Neal, who signed a basic salary contract with the Celtics this season, played, the slow moving speed could not keep up with the rhythm of the Wizards.

The small ball tactic used by the Wizards is, after all, a tactic that is ahead of this era. Even if Wang Xiao used this tactic last season to get all the way to the Eastern Conference finals, there are still few teams that can successfully break this tactic.

After halftime, the point difference widened to more than 10 points.

The Celtics still haven't given up on the game.

During the regular season, the Big Three of the Celtics had reservations most of the time, and the average playing time and number of shots per game were not particularly high, but they didn't want to give up easily in key games like this.

After the start of the third quarter, led by Garnett, the Celtics once again launched a fierce attack on the Wizards.

The point difference was gradually overtaken, and with about four minutes left in the third quarter, the lead was successfully completed.

However, at this time, Curry stood up again.

Two long-range three-pointers, plus a drive to the basket to make a foul and two free throws.

In an instant, they scored 8 points in a row, opening up the Celtics' score after finally moving back.

When the whistle sounded at the end of the third quarter, Rivers stood on the sidelines with a very serious expression.

He has found that compared to last season, the Wizards' offense is sharper, which is mainly reflected in the further improvement of Curry and Harden's personal abilities.

Rondo and Ray Allen's one-on-one defense alone is not enough to limit the offense of these two.

On the other hand, what surprised him even more was that the Wizards' defense had significantly improved compared to last season.

This is no longer a team with a strong offense and a weak defense, but a team with the best offense in the league and an equally outstanding defensive ability!

There are two reasons for this result. One is that the arrival and growth of Paul George has given the team a cutting-edge defensive force.

The second is the contribution of assistant coach Steve Kerr.

Wang Xiao's judgment was indeed correct. With Cole's arrival, the Wizards began to take into account their defense while maintaining a strong offensive firepower. The players' awareness of supporting defense and assisting defense when they transitioned from offense to defense on the field increased significantly.

But because this change has only recently begun to manifest itself, many teams haven't even noticed it yet.

If someone pays attention to big data, they will be surprised to find that when the time enters mid-December, the Wizards' average points per game began to decline. Reduced to 98 points, ranking 12th in the league.

An average of 98 points per game is nothing in front of the Celtics, because the Celtics have averaged 91.1 points per game so far, topping the league. Even the Bulls can only rank second in this regard second.

However, the Wizards averaged 115 points per game, which is as high as the Celtics' average loss per game!

In contrast, the Celtics averaged 96.5 points per game and can only rank outside the league's top 20.

The data cannot represent the result of the game, but it is enough to explain some problems!

In the fourth quarter, the Celtics once again persevered in launching a counterattack, but this time, the Celtics failed to do so.

The physical fitness of the Big Three really had problems in the fourth quarter. Pierce missed long shots from outside one after another. Garnett also failed to make up defenses for the Wizards players several times because of his physical fitness.

In the middle of the fourth quarter, the point difference had once again expanded to more than double digits, and it was still expanding.

Seeing that the general situation was over, Rivers didn't get entangled, and directly replaced the Big Three and Rondo.

What is strange is that seeing the Celtics give up the game, Wang Xiao did not immediately replace all the main players, but left Butler on the court.

The two sides ended the last few minutes of the game tepidly, and finally fixed the score at 105:92.

The Celtics lost to the Wizards at home by 13 points.

Wang Xiao and his team won this crucial game as they wished.

It wasn't until the moment when the game ended that Wang Xiao let out a long sigh of relief.

"This guy...is really exciting."

The gamble of 5,000 victory points is really stressful.

Although the Wizards had the advantage throughout the game, they were not crushed without any suspense. The Celtics would come from behind at any time, which made Wang Xiao terrified all the time.

Once the game is lost, he will lose everything, this is no joke.

A wave of milestone rewards has already been harvested, and now the only milestone that Wang Xiao can achieve this season is the milestone task of reaching 100 cumulative regular season wins in his career.

In order to ensure the item rewards that will appear in the guessing system at any time, he must stockpile some victory points for emergencies. After all, the betting requirements for S-level items such as physical recovery potions are not low.

The rewards obtained by winning alone are not even enough for the players' daily training consumption, let alone the special training consumption for maintaining Curry and the other three.

Of course, behind the huge risks, comes the rewards.

When the whistle sounded for the end of the game, Wang Xiao received a system notification that the rewards for guessing, the specific recovery potion for the S-level road, had arrived, and Wang Xiao could use it on his team members at any time.

At the same time, the 5,000 victory points that Wang Xiao bet on were also returned to his account.
