The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

"Damn guy!"

Looking at the interview remarks about Wang Xiao in the newspaper, Anthony's face was livid, and he cursed fiercely.

"We were completely underestimated! What are you kidding? When I became famous, you didn't even have the right to be an assistant coach! You led the Wizards to get good results for two years by luck, but you are so crazy! I must give him Check out the color!"

With the same idea, there are Deron and Stoudemire.

Especially Deron, he has always looked down on Curry, especially when Curry won the regular season MVP last year and has a high probability of re-electing this year, an uncontrollable jealousy arose in his heart.

In his opinion, a point guard like Curry who floats outside and shoots three-pointers is not qualified, and even a bit opportunistic.

After all, before Curry, was there any point guard who shot three-pointers from the outside?

Even though Curry's playing style has been successful and the honors he has won have surpassed him, Deron still doesn't take it seriously.

As a point guard, he should take advantage of his own speed to hit the basket, create damage and create opportunities for his teammates. Deron, who has assisted in double figures for four seasons in his career, has the confidence to say so.

And in Deron's heart, Curry is not his opponent at all, his fragile body can't hold his breakthrough at all. When the Wizards played against the Knicks, Thompson at the shooting guard position basically defended Deron.

"This time in the playoffs, I want to blow up Curry and let people see who is the strongest point guard!"

Deron is simply thinking too much.

From the very beginning, Wang Xiao never planned to arrange a fair matchup.

It's no secret that Curry can't guard Deron. De Xiaopang's tonnage is not something that Curry can resist. Even Paul often suffers when facing Deron, let alone Curry?

Klay Thompson must be marking Deron throughout this series. As for Curry, his main energy is still on scoring. On the defensive end, he only needs to be able to keep up with the Knicks' shooting guard.

The current starting shooting guard for the Knicks is Iman Shumpert, a role player who has averaged 7 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists per game in his career. His main offense is shooting, but his shooting percentage is impressive. The rate is less than 40%. Although Curry's defense is weak, it is in the middle and lower reaches of the entire league. Marking Shumpert can still be done.

It's okay for Deron Williams to bully weak guards like Curry, but when he meets Klay Thompson, who is stronger and taller than him, the level he can play is very limited.

But compared to Carmelo Anthony, Deron's treatment is already very good.

What Anthony was facing was the striker combination of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George.

Although one of the two needs to go inside to be responsible for marking Stoudemire, Stoudemire suffered injuries this season and did not return until April 21. He has not recovered his peak state and cannot give How much fire support Anthony provided.

In fact, this season is also a turning point for Stoudemire. Last season, he was still a super scorer who averaged 25 points and 8 rebounds per game. He is a top superstar in the league. Quan was affected and shrunk to 17.5 points and 7.8 rebounds, and after that, it was even worse year after year like Wang Xiaoer's Chinese New Year.

The first game of the two teams became a massacre without any suspense.

At 115:93, the Wizards won by 22 points at home.

Deron was strictly guarded by Thompson throughout the game, scoring only just in double figures, although he had 9 assists, he made a total of 5 turnovers.

With Leonard and George taking turns serving him, Anthony made 9 of 21 shots. As the team's first scoring point, he only scored 21 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists.

As for Stoudemire, he only scored 9 points on 2 of 7 shots in the game, and he didn't behave like a giant of a team at all.

In contrast, the Wizards can be said to have more blossoms here, Curry 24 points and 6 assists, George 21 points, Thompson 18 points, Leonard 14 points, Jamison 11 points, Caron Butler 10 points, all While six players from the team scored in double figures, Beverly, Parsons, Jimmy Butler and others also performed well.

Thanks to the Knicks bench, JR Smith, who scored 17 points on 7 of 17 shots, saved the Knicks a little bit of face, but it didn't make much sense.

On April 30, the second battle between the two sides began.

In this game, Anthony broke out. In the matchup with Leonard, Anthony took 26 crazy shots, hit 12 goals, made 6 of 9 free throws, scored 30 points and 9 rebounds, but the Knicks lost this game more thoroughly , Lost the suspense in the third quarter, because two people broke out on the Wizards side.

Stephen Curry with 29 points and Klay Thompson with 34 points.

Curry can get high scores within everyone's expectations. After all, he is the MVP of the regular season and the league's scoring leader. In the confrontation with the Knicks who lack strong defensive players in the backcourt, the offensive pressure is not great.

But Thompson turned out to be a surprise to many people.

In the eyes of most people, the series between the Wizards and the Knicks is basically a drama of Curry + George vs. Deron + Anthony.

The statistics of other Wizards players are not brilliant, and Stoudemire on the Knicks side was not included due to injury.

But in the second game, George only contributed 17 points for the team, but Thompson, who was not taken seriously, jumped out.

He made 13 of 18 shots in the game, and his shooting rate was as high as 72%. Among them, he made 4 of 6 three-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws. He took fewer shots than Anthony, but scored higher than him.

Only two backcourt players, Curry and Thompson, scored a terrifying 63 points. What suspense can there be in the game?

After the game, Knicks head coach D'Antoni said at the press conference that the players in the first two games did not play 100% of their strength. All strength.

However, the two sides returned to the third game of the New York Knicks. As the team leader, Anthony was completely sluggish. Under Leonard's defense, he handed over a failed data of 5 of 21 shots and scored only 14 points in the game. Instead, Stoudemire found a little feeling and scored 20+ points for the first time in the series.

In the third game, the Wizards once again won without bloodshed. The total score of the two teams has reached 3:0. The only suspense now is whether the Knicks will be swept and eliminated by the Wizards for the second consecutive year.

This suspense was ended on May 6. The Wizards defeated the Knicks 108:89, sweeping the Knicks for the second consecutive year and advancing to the second round.
