The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

Chapter 307 Eastern Finals against the Heat

On the same day, once Wang Xiao's interview was released, it caused an uproar again.

The media is very sensible, and Wang Xiao's original words were published almost verbatim.

Arrogant, too arrogant.

Not only Heat fans, but even Lakers fans were outraged.

If you spray the Heat, you will spray the Heat, plus what are we Lakers doing? Did the Lakers mess with you?

Heat fans were even more angry. After all, Wang Xiao was saying in front of everyone that the Heat would be broken up by him.

"Don't be arrogant! Just wait and see, this time we will definitely defeat you and make you shut up that stinky mouth!"

The head coach of his own team was sprayed, and of course the Wizards fans will not ignore things.

"Is what Wang Xiao said wrong? When the Heat are eliminated by us this year, what is the need for the Big Three to exist? Do you really think that the Heat, which has been eliminated by us for three consecutive years, can win? Stop joking!"

In a chaotic curse, the Eastern Conference finals began on May 22 at the home of the Washington Wizards.

The Wizards' starting lineup is point guard Curry, shooting guard Thompson, small forward Leonard, power forward George, and center Whiteside.

The other side of the Heat's starting lineup is point guard Chalmers, shooting guard Wade, small forward James, power forward Shane Battier, center Bosh.

In order to target George at the Wizards' power forward position, the Heat replaced Haslem, the commonly used starting insider, and let Battier, who is more flexible, start the game.

Obviously, after the regular season was swept again, Spoelstra still seriously thought about how to deal with the Wizards.

But this is only a temporary solution, not the root cause, because the strongest firepower of the Wizards is at the guard, not the striker!

Players from both sides jumped the ball in the middle circle, and Whiteside easily beat Bosh as always.

After halftime with the ball in hand, Curry reached out and made a gesture, calling for tactics to be executed.

Thompson, who was already standing on the three-point line in the left bottom corner, immediately took action, slipped the bottom line and ran around, then came out from the other side, and ran straight to the 45-degree angle outside the three-point line next to Curry .

As soon as Thompson was in place, Curry sent the ball over immediately.

The Saints won't lose to the same move twice, but the Heat can.

Thompson's catch-and-shoot after running off the ball is the Wizards' most commonly used and favorite tactic against the Heat. This tactic is played because the Heat's defense line is weak.

No matter how sharp Wade's defense is, it can only guard against one of Curry and Thompson, and the other guard of the Heat, Chalmers, can attack no matter who he defends.

Although this style of play is very poor, it is undoubtedly the most efficient way to attack. After all, compared to Curry who is facing Wade, Leonard who is facing James, and George who is facing Battier. Thompson's offense against Chalmers is obviously the easiest.

In the previous fights, this situation has happened countless times. Chalmers knew what Thompson wanted to do, and he was very active in chasing and defending, but when he rushed to Thompson, the latter had already received the attack. Basketball and jump up.

When Thompson, who is 2.01 meters tall, has already taken off, it is too late for Chalmers, who is only 1.88 meters tall, no matter how high he jumps and how hard he waved his hands.

"brush!"

The basketball hit the net crisply, and Thompson turned into the Wizards and hit a three-pointer in the opening game!

3:0.

James Wade and others frowned slightly, but there was nothing they could do.

This is a defect in the lineup. Spoelstra also mentioned Ray Allen as the starting lineup to defend Thompson in the regular season. The main players of the two teams came off the field to rest, and after coming off the bench, without Ray Allen's fire support on the bench, the game collapsed even faster.

After many attempts and deliberation, the Heat could only bite the bullet and put Chalmers on the field even if there was a loophole in the defense. At least although he would be grabbed by the Wizards at this point, James and others also Also on the court, at least the situation will not become too passive.

...

In the transition between offense and defense, Chalmers dribbled the ball across the half court, then skillfully handed the ball to James, and quickly ran to the bottom line to stretch the space.

James slowly dribbled the ball, his eyes fixed on Leonard in front of him.

Now, he no longer has any contempt for the second-year rookie.

"Come on, in front of me, don't even think about getting a point easily!"

Leonard's sudden sound made James startled slightly, a little surprised.

In the previous fights, he had never heard Leonard speak proactively. This somewhat silent rookie had a very different personality from his predecessor, Paul George.

What he didn't know was that Caron Butler, who was sitting on the sidelines in a suit and leather shoes, had a very satisfied expression on his face when he saw Leonard speak.

"That's it, Kawhi, you brat finally got the hang of it! Defending LeBron can't just rely on physical actions, you have to use your mouth, and use words to make him feel anxious and impatient. Only in this way can we help more effectively." You limit his scoring."

Caron Butler was absent for most of the season due to being reimbursed for the injured season, including the playoffs. The rookies on the team are on top.

The Wizards' forward lineup is extremely luxurious, George, Leonard, Green, Jimmy Butler, Chandler Parsons, if you insist, Thompson, who is 2.01 meters tall, can also play the small forward position.

In terms of talent, peak strength or future achievements, Caron Butler may not be as good as the vast majority of people here. After all, Caron's honor until his retirement was nothing more than a two-time All-Star substitute.

Among the Wizards' rookies, there are All-Star starters, the best team, the best defensive team regulars, the best defensive player, and the FMVP.

Even if it is forced to compare, the position of small forward is also inferior to that of Caron Butler in Chandler Parsons' personal honor.

But even so, Caron Butler still has a lot to teach this group of heaven's favored ones.

For example, he emphasized Leonard more than once, don't be taciturn when defending, the power of words may sometimes be stronger than the body.

The Spurs version of Leonard is like a small stone Buddha, taciturn but rock-solid in defense, but people will be changed by the environment, things and people around them.

Different environments and different situations will make a person grow up completely different.

...

"Just because of you, you want to stare at me?"

Facing Leonard's provocation, James was stunned for a while, then sneered, paused slightly, and moved violently like a volcanic eruption the next moment!
