The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

Chapter 358 Finals, against the Spurs!

The regular season MVP of the 2013-2014 season was finally awarded to Curry.

This is Curry's third regular season MVP trophy in his career, and it also allows Curry to tie Magic Johnson in the personal honor of regular season MVP, tied for the most point guards!

And next, Curry is likely to win the third finals MVP trophy in his career, further raising his historical status to a higher level.

...

The best defensive player was given to Dunn, Wang Xiao's student at Harvard University. Dunn, who used Mutombo's growth template card, has become a powerful defensive player with super strong ability to block shots. Footsteps and not weak strength, all these allow Dunn to show a strong defensive ability in this era when the inside strength is generally not strong.

The best sixth man, Jamal Crawford, is still the gram six, and his ability to score points like a gangster on the bench is unmatched.

However, Crawford's best sixth man was elected somewhat controversial.

Many people believe that the Wizards' bench players are fully capable of competing with them for the best sixth man award.

Although Isaiah Thomas is only 1.75 meters, his ability to break through with the ball is quite amazing, and his scoring ability is not inferior to Crawford.

And Jimmy Butler's offensive and defensive balance is like another copy of George and Leonard, and his contribution in the game is much better than that of Crawford, who can only attack and defend completely.

But it's a pity that the Wizards' bench lineup is so luxurious that these talented players can only show part of their strength in a limited time, and the data has also been affected.

Most importantly, the award is the best sixth man.

The question of who is the sixth man of the team between Thomas Jr. and Jimmy Butler is not particularly easy to define...

...

The best sixth man is just a small award, and there is nothing wrong with it.

At least the two awards of regular season MVP and best defensive player are not too controversial.

One is the core point guard who led the team to 73 wins, and the other is a shot-blocking madman who has covered the entire league, and he deserves the award.

...

With the announcement of all the awards of the season, the final highlight of the NBA2013-2014 season, the finals will also follow.

On June 5, at the home court of the Wizards, the first game of the finals officially started!

The Wizards' starting lineup is the five-man starting lineup that has remained unchanged for thousands of years after George was injured.

Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Kawhi Leonard, Draymond Green, Rudy Gobert.

For the Spurs, the starting lineup is Tony Parker, Marco Belinelli, Boris Diaw, Chris Bosh, and Tim Duncan.

Due to Wang Xiao's reasons, the Spurs failed to get Green and Leonard, but they accidentally introduced Chris Bosh, which can be regarded as a slight stop loss.

Judging from the strength of the lineup on paper, the Spurs are absolutely unable to compete with the Wizards, but Wang Xiao has a better understanding of Popovich's ability, and he is sure that the opponent will never stand still.

...

At the beginning of the game, the Wizards players played very well.

This is already the fourth time that many members of the team have played in the finals. Although they are young, they have more experience in the finals than many veterans who are over 30 years old.

Even the opposite Spurs, in terms of experience in the finals, they are only on par with the Wizards.

Due to the butterfly effect of Wang Xiao, the Spurs failed to make it to the finals last season, so as of now, even Ginobili has only had three finals experience after Duncan is left behind.

So compared to experience, the young Wizards are not in vain for the Spurs.

In terms of lineup, age and even strength, the Wizards have an absolute advantage.

So of course, the Wizards took advantage of their speed to take the lead in the first quarter.

Although the Spurs are at a disadvantage, they have been relying on the cooperation of insiders Duncan and Bosh to score steadily.

Although both Gobert and Green have excellent defensive abilities, it is still a bit difficult to face an experienced old fritter like Duncan, especially Duncan's signature stunt 45-degree angle wipe shot, which has an extremely high hit rate and is difficult to defend.

After Gobert tried several times, he could only choose to try his best to keep him away from the basket, and he couldn't receive the ball comfortably.

And Bosh is also precisely the object that Green hates to defend. He has the ability to shoot from a long distance, is tall, and can be inside and outside. Such a player will make Green feel like he doesn't know where to use it.

Relying on two insiders, the Spurs have always stabilized the point difference within double digits.

In the first quarter, the score of the two teams was 31:24.

In the second quarter, the score became 63:55.

And even in the third quarter, when the Wizards usually have the most advantage in the game, the point difference can only be widened to more than 10 points.

The Spurs have always been the team with the highest scoring off the bench except for the Wizards. Under the leadership of Ginobili, the strength of the Spurs' bench can completely entangle with the Wizards.

When the game progressed to the fourth quarter, the Spurs suddenly exerted their strength and played a wave of 8:0, taking advantage of the trend to tie the point difference, forcing Wang Xiao to call a timeout.

Fortunately, after the timeout, Curry stood up, regained the advantage with two three-pointers, and maintained the advantage until the end of the game.

At 101:93, the Wizards won Game 1 of the Finals by 8 points at home.

After the game, Wang Xiao carefully recalled the process of the game, and watched the video of the game, feeling a little puzzled in his heart.

The Spurs played very well throughout the game, and Wang Xiao could hardly find any faults, and the loss was entirely due to Curry's superstar.

But Wang Xiao always felt that the game against the Spurs should not be like this. Popovich should make corresponding tactical adjustments to the Wizards system.

"Could it be that that guy is hiding his clumsiness, losing a game first, letting us take it lightly and then suddenly attack?"

...

However, in the second game, the Wizards won again, and it was easier than winning the first game.

Klay Thompson broke out suddenly, scoring 31 points in the half and 44 points in the game, almost defeating the Spurs by himself, and no one on the Spurs team could limit Thompson's performance.

After winning both games at home, the Wizards rushed to the home of the San Antonio Spurs for an away game.

Wang Xiao originally thought that this would be a difficult away game, but in the third game, the Wizards won again.

When the whistle sounded for the end of the game, Wang Xiao looked at the white-haired and expressionless old man on the opposite side of the court, and he suddenly realized that he might be thinking too much.

No matter how strong Popovich is, he is still just a head coach, nothing more.

Even in another time and space without Wang Xiao's troubles, he has only led the Spurs to five championships.

At this time, Popovich is leading the Spurs without Leonard and Green, and he is facing the 73-win Wizards team that may be stronger than the 72-win Bulls!
