The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

Chapter 297 The Lakers Are Over

Since February, the Heat have started a crazy winning streak. From February 3rd to February 14th of the All-Star Weekend, the Heat first quietly won a wave of seven wins. Winning streak, immediately after the All-Star Weekend, the Heat continued their winning streak.

They defeated the Eagles on the 20th, the Bulls on the 21st, and the 76ers on the 23rd, raising the winning streak to 10 games.

If there is no conflict with the history of another time and space, the Heat will continue to win, throughout February and March, and continue to win until Game 28 against the Bulls.

This wave of soul-stirring 27-game winning streak has become the second longest winning streak in NBA history, second only to the 33-game winning streak maintained by the Lakers, and it is also the best embodiment of the strength of the Miami Heat's Big Three after running in.

Wang Xiao had the idea of ​​interrupting the winning streak of the Heat's Big Three. After all, even the Heat, which has won 27 consecutive victories, is unlikely to be the opponent of the current Wizards.

However, the Heat were lucky. They checked the schedule and found that during their 27-game winning streak, they didn't even have a game against the Wizards.

Both are Eastern Conference teams, and the two teams will play against each other four times this season, each with two home and away games.

The first game between the two teams was in early December, and the Heat challenged the Wizards away.

Just like the previous two years, the Heat were no opponents of the Wizards at all in the game. They were once again beaten to death by Curry and others with a three-pointer. The final total score was 113:89, and they lost by 24 points.

The second game was in mid-December. The Heat returned to the home court and wanted revenge. In the first two quarters of the game, James and Wade succeeded in gaining the upper hand and the initiative.

However, with the beginning of the third quarter, the Wizards' advantage was ruined in a blink of an eye after the Wizards came off the bench, and then even if James and other main players re-appeared, they were unable to recover, and finally scored 109:107. It's a pity that we lost.

After one guest and one host, there are only two games left between the Heat and the Wizards, and the third game will be played a month later, that is, near the end of January in 2013. This game is still the home of the Heat , but the Heat still failed to win this game.

There was nothing wrong with the Heat's performance throughout the game. Among the Big Three, James scored 28 points, Wade 21 points, Bosh 18 points, and the three combined scored 67 points. Lun scored 20 points single-handedly, and Mike Miller also scored 13 points with a rare touch.

It can be said that the Heat played a classic perfect game.

But this still failed to win the Wizards.

Because the performance of the Wizards is more perfect.

Curry scored 31 points, George had 19 points, Thompson had 17 points, Leonard had 15 points, and Whiteside had 14 points. While the starting five scored in double figures, Jamison, Jimmy Butler, and Chandler were on the bench. Parsons also scored in double figures.

Eight members of the team scored in double figures and scored 121 points in four quarters. Under such circumstances, how could the Heat win?

This can't help but make the Heat feel deeply powerless, especially James. Every time he plays against the Wizards, James has tried his best to defeat the Wizards. How could they win against the Wizards?

The Heat have fallen in front of the Wizards in the playoffs for two consecutive seasons. If this continues, he may really want to go without a championship for life!

However, James tried his best to play against the Wizards. Why didn't the Wizards go all out every time they played against the Heat?

Wang Xiao often makes Curry and others take turns to rest in daily games, but when facing the Heat, no one from the Wizards has ever rested.

Wang Xiao doesn't want to lose to the Heat, and the Wizards can't lose to the Heat, whether it's public or private.

Therefore, the duel with the Heat has always been the most demanding game for Wang Xiao. If anyone does not perform well on the field, he will replace it without hesitation.

This season, the last matchup between the Wizards and the Heat will be on April 10, which is the end of the regular season.

Unfortunately, at that time, the Heat's 27-game winning streak had been ended by the Bulls, and because of this soul-stirring winning streak, the confidence of the Heat's entire team will be cultivated.

At that time, the Wizards will usher in the challenge of the strongest Heat team.

...

After the end of the All-Star Weekend and the trade deadline, the Heat continued to maintain a winning streak, and the Wizards also maintained a high winning percentage.

In the remaining 5 games in February, the Wizards achieved a record of 4 wins and 1 loss, and as time came to March, the game began to become a little easier.

Except for the game against the Knicks on March 1 and the game against the Nets on March 21, the Wizards did not have a strong opponent in the game in March.

Against the 76ers on March 3, against the Timberwolves on March 6, against the Bobcats on March 8, against the Cavaliers on March 12... Bucks, Hornets, Suns, Warriors, Lakers, Pistons, Magic, these teams are all in one All of them are middle-lower or even bottom-ranked teams in the East and West.

Including the Lakers.

The Lakers' super F4 combination has almost completely failed.

Before the All-Star Game, the Lakers' record was terrible, only ranked tenth in the Western Conference. Many people seriously doubted whether the Lakers could not even make the playoffs according to the current state of the Lakers.

In fact, the same is true. If Kobe's small universe hadn't exploded after the All-Star Weekend, averaging 40+ minutes per game, desperately dragging the Lakers forward, then the Lakers might really miss the playoffs this season.

In the last 22 games, the Lakers have a record of 16 wins and 6 losses, with a winning rate of 72.7%. Although this winning rate cannot be compared with the Wizards, Heat, Spurs, Trail Blazers and other teams, if this winning rate can be maintained throughout the season If so, the Lakers will win 60 wins and enter the playoffs without any pressure.

And this winning rate was achieved by Kobe alone when Nash, Gasol were frequently absent, and Howard was in poor form.

Of course, the Lakers and Kobe also paid a painful price for this. On April 12, Kobe Bryant tore his Achilles tendon in the game against the Golden State Warriors, which ended the season ahead of schedule. Only next 2 games...

This injury almost ruined the rest of Kobe's career. He was reimbursed for the 13-14 season. He only played 35 games in the 14-15 season. In the 15-16 season, he played 66 games and averaged 35.8% of his shots. After scoring 17.6 points per game and leading the Lakers to a 17-65 record in the Western Conference this season, Kobe chose to retire.

...

The Lakers are over, at least in the view of Wang Xiao, a traveler, even in 2019, the Lakers, who failed to make the playoffs under the leadership of James, have definitely failed in these years, and in the 19-20 season, won After Davis, it is difficult to determine whether the Lakers can rise. After all, whether it is for the wealthy Lakers or James, who is aiming to be the number one man in history, failure to win the championship means failure.
