The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

The Cavaliers, after all, are a team that has only been established for a few months. The players are not very familiar with each other. They have only gone through a few preseason games and daily training to adjust the lineup. On par with the Wizards.

Whether it is Irving or Love, they were all players who played offense with the ball before. When James returned to the Cavaliers and took over the ball as a matter of course, the two had to start increasing the time of offense without the ball. Of course, this is not short. It can be adapted in time.

Especially Irving, Wang Xiao attached great importance to this super-skilled Uncle Drew. After all, this is the most stable scoring point for the Cavaliers outside, so Klay Thompson followed him almost all the time.

In this way, the situation on the court basically became a mode where James went it alone and singled out all the Wizards.

At this moment, James was confused and collapsed.

what on earth is it? Why is it that no matter how many times I change teammates, it seems like I have no teammates when I play against the Wizards?

This really can't be blamed on James, but Wang Xiao can only be blamed for being too shameless.

There are currently three best defensive players in the Wizards alone, and as many as six players have been selected to the best defensive team. This lineup is unprecedented.

Although James' teammates are all excellent, none of them have reached the top. Wade may be one of the peak players in the Heat period, but Irving, who has just played for two seasons, obviously cannot be counted. Neither can Howard.

Surrounded by this group of defensive champions, unless they are in excellent condition and feel hot, ordinary players will inevitably be seriously disturbed.

In the entire Cavaliers, only James can score stably under such a purgatory-level defensive lineup.

This can also be seen from another angle to see the horror of James. Wang Xiao is completely unimaginable. Surrounded by Leonard, George, Green, Jimmy Butler and others, this guy can still be as usual. Stable scoring, the shooting percentage has not even dropped below 50%, it is simply a monster.

But even a monster, under the Wizards' net, can only growl in grief and helplessness, watching the team's point difference being widened a little bit.

At the end of the first quarter, James scored 12 points on 4 of 6 shots, but apart from him, the other starters of the Cavaliers performed poorly.

Howard made 2 of 6 shots, Irving made 1 of 5 shots, and Love made 1 of 3 shots. The three together only contributed 10 points in terms of free throws. As for JR. No shot at all.

In the first quarter, the Cavaliers scored 22 points. According to ordinary teams, although this score is not high, it is barely enough.

But this is a game against the Wizards. As the team with the fastest offensive rhythm and rotation speed in the league, the Wizards averaged around 115 points per game in the past few seasons, and averaged nearly 29 points per quarter. .

And the first quarter of this game was no exception. The Wizards scored a total of 30 points in the whole quarter.

At 30:22, the Cavaliers fell behind by 8 points in the first quarter.

In the subsequent second quarter, the situation did not improve at all. Irving, Howard, Love and others began to gradually adapt to the rhythm of the game and regained a little touch.

But the offensive rhythm of the Wizards will not stagnate because of this.

In the second quarter, the Wizards scored 33 points again, while the Cavaliers scored 27 points.

At the end of the half, the point difference not only failed to narrow, but further expanded to more than double digits.

Without any disturbance, the game fell into the most accustomed rhythm of the Wizards.

The substitute showdown also ended with the Wizards winning without any suspense.

Although Jamison retired, and Caron Butler's status was greatly reduced due to injuries and age, the Wizards' backup line has fully grown up.

Isaiah Thomas, Jimmy Butler and Chandler Parsons form the trident of the Wizards' bench line. When the three are on the court at the same time, the Wizards' offensive efficiency is even higher than that of the starting team. Even more terrifying.

Of course, this is not to say that the strength of the three has surpassed the starting players of the Wizards, but that the strength of the Cavaliers' bench is far worse than that of the starters.

The point difference came to more than 20 points under the power of the Trident.

The gentle smile on David Blatt's face has disappeared, replaced by a dignified and livid face.

Purely from the perspective of strength on paper, the Cavaliers are fully capable of fighting the Wizards, but the result is completely one-sided without any suspense. None of the Big Four has shown its due strength except James.

The Wizards fans have cheered loudly and happily.

Different opponents, the same rhythm of three quarters, no matter who stands in front of them, the result will not change in any way!

The Heat during the Big Three period couldn't stop the Wizards, and neither could the Cavaliers during the Big Four period. They are the strongest team in the league!

...

In the fourth quarter of the game, the Cavaliers only made a symbolic resistance, and then put on a substitute to express their surrender.

In the end, at the end of the whole game, the score of the two sides was 124:99.

In the opening game of the regular season, the Wizards used a 25-point victory at home to tell the entire league that even the Big Four were not enough for them!

James scored a quasi-triple-double of 34 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists in the whole game. The data is luxurious and eye-catching, but his teammates have once again become the target of criticism.

Irving made 6 of 17 shots and scored 18 points and 4 assists with free throws.

Love made 6 of 12 shots. Although he guaranteed a 50% shooting rate, he only had 14 points and 6 rebounds.

As for the team's second largest giant, Howard, who was given high hopes, only handed over a data of 3 of 10 shots, 9 points, 13 rebounds and 4 blocks.

If you compare it with Gobert who is playing against him, this statistic is not bad, because Gobert only had 5 points, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks in the game, and he also received 5 fouls, basically when he was against Howard. of.

But as the league's No. 1 center, compared with a first-year rookie? This is too shameful.

Although Gobert's statistics are not very good-looking, his defensive ability on the court has made many people feel bright.

In Howard's physical confrontation, although Gobert was at a disadvantage, he was never afraid of confrontation. Every time he tried his best to interfere, Howard's scoring efficiency in the interior was greatly reduced.

Excellent height and amazing wingspan make Gobert's defensive range extremely large. If he spends more time in the league and cultivates NBA-level defensive awareness and skills, he will be another inside defensive champion!
