The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

Chapter 161 Meeting the Heat Again

Because of Wang Xiao's remarks in the interview, the game between the Wizards and the Heat became the game that attracted the most attention after the Christmas game, and even overshadowed the opening ceremony of the All-Star voting.

Every year after the Christmas War, the first round of voting for the All-Star Weekend also begins.

The 2011 All-Star Weekend is hosted by Los Angeles, and both the Lakers and Clippers will be the main board teams for this All-Star Weekend.

However, compared to the annual All-Star Weekend voting, people are more curious about the entanglement between Wang Xiao and the Heat, and whether Wang Xiao can fulfill his promise to beat the Heat.

You must know that the current Heat team has undergone considerable changes from the previous ones. The Big Three have become more and more tacit understanding, and James and Wade have gradually begun to find a balance between the two on the court at the same time.

This made the firepower of the Big Three extremely terrifying. Even the Lakers suffered a big loss against the Heat at home in the last game. Kobe + Artest's perimeter defense failed to limit the performance of James and Wade.

Although Wang Xiao's Wizards team has the best record in the league, but facing such a Heat Big Three, how sure is it that they will win?

Under the attention of countless people, the Miami Heat arrived at the home arena of the Washington Wizards, preparing for what should have been an ordinary regular season game.

"Guys, we have to win this game."

In the Heat's locker room, Spoelstra said to the players: "We have lost to them once at home before, and this time, the opposing coach made even more excessive remarks. If in this case, We still lost to each other, but we really lost face!"

At the same moment, in the home locker room of the Wizards, Wang Xiao also said similar words.

"Before the game, I have already blown the bull out. If I lose the game, then I will lose my face. Although I don't take these things very seriously, but too much embarrassment will still make me feel uncomfortable."

Having said this, Wang Xiao looked at George.

"Paul, at your request, you will be the team's starter in this game. Your performance has been very good during this period. I hope you can continue your previous state in this game."

George nodded vigorously, "Yes! Coach! I will!"

After that, Wang Xiao didn't give too many tactical explanations.

Since the beginning of the season, the Heat have always been the key imaginary opponents of the Wizards. The technical characteristics and tactics of the Big Three have been thoroughly analyzed through a large number of game videos.

In this case, it is meaningless to continue to talk about those things. On the field, the performance of the players themselves is the most important thing.

But before that, there is one more thing he can do, and that is to choose a tactical skill to further enhance the strength of the Wizards.

...

Soon, the players of the two teams came on the court one after another, and the DJ on the scene loudly explained the information about the starting five of the Wizards.

When Paul George's name was pronounced, many people were taken aback.

George starting? what's the situation? Is Butler injured? Or are you going to take a break? Is it too much to worry about taking turns in such a crucial game?

But Butler appeared on the field wearing a tracksuit and welcomed the starters with his teammates, and it didn't look like he wasn't playing.

"It seems that Wang Xiao wanted to strengthen the team's defense, so George, who has performed well in recent games, started." Some fans thought this way, and then loudly cheered for George. "Young man! Come on! Fight hard!"

When James heard George's name on the court, his eyes flickered slightly.

For this first-year rookie, James still has a deep impression. After all, it is not just any rookie who dares to talk trash to him on the field, nor is it just any rookie who will persist in pestering himself even when he is completely blown away.

"This kid is going to start today... What do you mean? Still want to compete with me?"

The corner of his mouth hooked slightly, and James couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, since that's the case, I'll teach you how cruel the NBA is."

The order of the Wizards' starting lineup is usually that Jamison, the most senior in the team, takes the lead, and Curry plays as the finale.

The current Curry is fully worthy of such treatment.

Whether it is a Wizards fan or other melon eaters in the league, they have never seen a point guard with such strong scoring ability as Curry.

So far this season, Curry has averaged 27.2 points per game, ranking second in the scoring list, second only to Durant with 28 points.

In each game, Curry can make 4.3 three-pointers, and his shooting percentage can always be maintained at around 44%.

You know, this is only the second season of Curry's career! His career will go on for a long time!

High-quality appearance, unique playing characteristics (three-pointers) in the entire league, plus a super-high score that ranks second on the scoring list.

The collection of these honors allowed Curry to gain a large number of fans.

Only two days into the first round of All-Star voting, Curry has already taken the lead in the votes among Eastern guards, even higher than Wade of the Heat and Rose of the Bulls.

The 10-11 season can be said to be the peak year of Rose's career. This year, he averaged 25 points and 7.7 assists per game, and led the Bulls to the best record in the regular season. He was also elected as a regular Game MVP, becoming the youngest regular season MVP in league history.

However, because of Wang Xiao's sudden birth, the current No. 1 player in the league is not the Chicago Bulls, but the Washington Wizards. Although Rose's 25+7.7 average per game is amazing, it can be compared with Curry, who averages 27.2 points and 6.8 assists per game. It's just that they are not equal.

In contrast, the characteristics of Curry and the Wizards' style of play are more popular with fans.

There has always been an old saying in the league.

"Offense wins the box office, defense wins championships."

Leaving aside the diehard home team fans, no one wants to watch a boring defensive battle as a melon eater.

The Wizards' flamboyant offense is their preferred pace of play.

Because of this, Curry is currently more popular than Rose.

When Curry came on as the finale player, there were deafening cheers from the audience.

Curry also enjoyed the cheers, waving to the crowd with open arms.

...

After the introduction of the players, the two sides made various pre-match preparations.

The commentator who explained the game also began to popularize the highlights of the game to the audience in front of the TV.

"...I believe that what everyone is most interested in is whether Wang Xiao and his Wizards can beat the Heat as he said, as easy as eating and drinking. Next, please wait and see."
