The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

"Desperate, unimaginable lineup gap."

"Only three of the Heat team scored in double figures, and seven of the Wizards scored in double figures. Is the Big Three model really advisable?"

"From tactics, to lineup, to performance, the Wizards have completely crushed the Heat. Is this team with an average age of only 24 years old going to defeat the third Big Three lineup encountered in the playoffs and advance all the way to the finals? ?”

The Wizards won the third game and once again took the lead in the series. The public opinion of the media changed almost overnight.

Although the series only played three games, what the Wizards showed in the matchup with the Heat surprised everyone.

According to the odds offered by the gaming company, the odds of the Wizards vs. the Heat have reached around 1.2:2.4. This is also the first time that the Wizards have higher odds than their rival Heat in the series.

Previously, although the Wizards won 68 wins, ranked first in the league, and killed two Big Three lineups in a row, most people still prefer that the Heat may win more, and the betting handicap is also higher for the Heat , but now the situation is different.

No way, the Heat couldn't stop the Wizards from scoring in this game. Even in the second game they won, the Wizards also scored in double figures with four players, and these four teamed up to score 83 points.

You can't always expect the Heat's Big Three to score 90 points every game, and you can't expect the Heat's role players, who are not very strong, to suddenly explode in a small universe, and their performance can be compared to the Wizards' luxurious bench lineup.

Without being able to limit the scoring efficiency of the Wizards, it is indeed difficult for the Heat to beat the Wizards.

And under this premise, there is another point that no one can ignore.

The genius coach of the Wizards, Wang Xiao.

Not everyone has the courage to decisively cut their playing time in the third game when the main players did not perform well in the second game.

Harden's playing time dropped sharply in the third game, playing only 24 minutes and scoring 10 points in the entire game.

It is difficult to judge whether the Wizards' victory in Game 3 is directly related to the reduction of Harden's playing time, but as long as the game is won, then no matter what will be the correct and reasonable choice.

...

Two days later, in the American Airlines Arena in Miami, Wang Xiao sat on the bench seat, watching the fourth game of the series on the field with a slightly surprised expression.

Originally, Wang Xiao thought that with a 2:1 lead, the Heat at home would inevitably fight to the death, and this game would also be a tough one, and it would not be easy to win.

But during the game, a very unexpected thing happened.

LeBron James, the chosen one and one of the strongest players in the league, was like sleepwalking at the beginning of the game. While his offense was useless, he also made frequent mistakes.

In the first quarter, he made 1 of 3 shots and scored 4 points with two free throws. Then he scored no points in the second quarter.

Now that the game has progressed to the second half of the third quarter, James made 5 shots in this quarter and only hit 1 goal. So far, his personal score is only 6 points.

Is this still James? James, who averaged 32 points in the first three games of the series?

All the fans of the Heat, even the coaches and players of the Heat were stunned and a little overwhelmed.

As a time traveler, the first thing Wang Xiao thought of was James' mysterious performance in the fourth game against the Mavericks in the 2011 Finals.

In that game, James played sluggishly and scored only 8 points on 3 of 11 shots. As a result, the Heat lost the game that should have won the match point, allowing the Mavericks to move the score back to 2:2. In a few games, although James' state has picked up a bit, it still gives people a feeling that something is wrong. He is not in the peak state. In the end, he was defeated by the Mavericks in two consecutive cities and missed the championship trophy 2:4.

The current state of James on the court is so similar to that!

Wang Xiao didn't quite understand that it was the Eastern Conference finals, not the finals, and neither the timing nor the reasons nor the motivations fit at all.

Although George's current defensive level is not inferior to Shawn Marion, the main player of the Mavericks defending James, and even slightly stronger, this is definitely not enough to make James play so badly. After all, George tried his best in the first three games. Defending James with all his strength, still allowed the opponent to score 32 points per game.

After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't think of the reason. Fortunately, Wang Xiao stopped thinking about it.

It has been nearly 5 years since the 2007 NBA Draft crossed into this world. The butterfly effect brought about by his appearance has also affected many things. Durant went to the Trail Blazers. Li and Harden became teammates, Jeremy Lin squeezed out Wall and was elected the No. 1 pick for 10 years, and the Knicks formed the Big Three combination...

It's really hard to say what unforeseen variables will arise.

James' poor performance can only be regarded as a surprise, and Wang Xiao will not be polite to the Heat. He understands the truth of killing you while you are sick.

In the three quarters of the game, the Wizards have established a lead of nearly 20 points. Not surprisingly, this game will be won smoothly, and the big score of the two teams will also be rewritten to 3:1.

The fact is also the same. When James was in a slump, Wade could not support himself. Although he scored 32 points again, it was still difficult to prevent the team from losing.

The Wizards made another victory at the Heat's home court, rewriting the big score to 3:1, and successfully won the match point.

And next, the venue of the game will return to Washington, the home of the Wizards, and the Heat seem to have stepped half of their foot on the cliff! And the remaining foot was almost vacated.

There are very few people who think that the Heat can come back and beat the Wizards. After all, there are very few teams that can come back when they fall behind 1:3 in history.

Wang Xiao and the Wizards did not give the Heat a chance.

4:1!

Although James' touch has recovered, he scored a triple-double of 24 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds in Game 5 at the Wizards' home court. Wade also scored 27 points, but he still couldn't stop the pace of defeat.

The Wizards ended all the suspense at home, allowing the ambitious Big Three of the Heat to stop in the Eastern Conference finals, and they successfully rushed out of the Eastern Conference to advance to the Finals!

The big score victory over the Heat was completely expected by Wang Xiao. With the second round of the playoffs, George's defense against the Celtics grew rapidly. In terms of lineup, the Wizards have already completed the crushing of the Heat. .

But... that's just the beginning.

As a time traveler, no one knows the future development and changes better than Wang Xiao. This season's heat is not yet the strongest stage.
