The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

The five players selected for the best team are Stephen Curry of the Wizards, James Harden of the Kings, LeBron James of the Cavaliers, Kevin Durant of the Trail Blazers and Anthony David of the Pelicans s.

The five people selected for the second team are Jeremy Lin of the Nets, Chris Paul of the Clippers, Kawhi Leonard of the Wizards, LaMarcus Aldridge of the Trail Blazers, and DeMarcus of the Kings . Cousins.

The five players in the third team are Russell Westbrook of the Thunder, Paul George of the Wizards, Blake Griffin of the Clippers, Tim Duncan of the Spurs and Dwight Howard of the Cavaliers.

Among the fifteen members of these three lineups, some are well-received, while others are omitted]'?

When most players can't even make it to the third team, arguments and complaints naturally arise.

But in any case, the selection of the NBA's best team is relatively objective and fair. The team coaches and media reporters participating in the selection follow the performance of the players throughout the season and their evaluation of the team's contribution.

There is no doubt that the Wizards are still the biggest winners throughout the season. Curry, Leonard, and George are on the best team list, and Leonard George is also selected to the best defensive team. Leonard is One defense, George defends three.

...

Not being able to win any awards, the players of the Bucks were extremely disappointed. After all, in their view, the Bucks had already been quite successful this season. The results to enter the playoffs, and can also reach the second round?

And this dissatisfaction quickly turned into motivation, and he wanted to vent to his opponents in the second round of the playoffs.

Don't you claim to be the strongest team in the league? Didn't you guys have three All-NBA players? Well, when we say that you defeated, didn't you slap all the judges in the face?

Being young still has its advantages. Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. A few players who have only entered the league for a year or two dare to challenge my invincible teacher who has created three consecutive championships. This kind of spirit is commendable.

For this spirit, Wang Xiao gave great praise, and according to the technical characteristics of the Wizards players, he specially customized a set of targeted offensive and defensive tactics for his own players.

But to be honest, even Wang Xiao doesn't think there will be any suspense in this series. The strength gap between the two teams is too big. As long as Antetokounmpo, Oladipo and others can learn from the confrontation in this series When he gets something, he is satisfied enough.

...

The second round of the playoffs will be in early May.

At the Wizards' home court, the MCI Center in Washington, the first game of the second round of the playoffs began.

Before the start of the game, fans in Washington gave Wang Xiao applause one after another. Although Wang Xiao has now become the head coach of the rival team, they still thank Wang Xiao for his contribution to the Wizards.

At the same time, Curry, George, Leonard and others also took the initiative to say hello to Wang Xiao, even the Wizards head coach Steve Kerr was no exception.

Although the Bucks and the Wizards have played against each other four times in the regular season, such a scene still makes the Bucks players can't help but look at each other face to face.

"Coach, this is the playoffs, I won't hold back!"

Curry looked at Wang Xiao with a smile and said.

Wang Xiao glanced at Curry, and said angrily: "It's as if you were merciful in the regular season before."

The four regular season games between the Bucks and the Wizards ended with the Bucks losing all four games. The Wizards suppressed the Bucks in almost every game without any suspense.

"But coach, I really admire you from the bottom of my heart. Such a team can lead you to the second round of the playoffs." George sighed sincerely.

To be honest, when he saw the lineup of the Bucks at the beginning of the regular season, even George, who was trained by Wang Xiao, couldn't help but wonder if the coach was inflated and would actually go to coach such a team.

But after a regular season, the Bucks unexpectedly ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference. He was completely convinced. The coach deserves to be a coach, so amazing.

"Paul, don't underestimate my team, don't look at them as immature now, but by next year, they will grow up to become your biggest opponent." Wang Xiao said with a slight smile.

On the side, Cole, who also came to join in the fun, shrank slightly when he heard this.

George didn't take this to heart, but Cole was different. He could hear the strong confidence in Wang Xiao's tone, which was definitely serious.

For so many years, although Wang Xiao has been making all kinds of wild words, he has done everything without exception.

Now he personally said that the Bucks will be the biggest opponent of the Wizards in a year, so naturally it will not be groundless!

After a short greeting, the game is about to begin.

The starting five sent by the Wizards are point guard Curry, shooting guard Thompson, small forward George, power forward Leonard, and center Gobert.

The starting lineup for the Bucks is the same as before, with point guard Oladipo, shooting guard Korver, small forward Middleton, power forward Antetokounmpo, and center Jokic.

The two sides jumped the ball from the center line, and Gobert won the scrimmage with his better wingspan and jumping ability, and the game officially started.

...

As Wang Xiao expected, the Wizards had firmly grasped the initiative from the very beginning of the game.

With Curry as the core, the Wizards' set of small ball tactics has tended to be perfect. Four of the five positions on the field can shoot long shots, which also doubles the defensive pressure on the Bucks.

What's more deadly is that the three positions of point guard, shooting guard, and small forward are lost at the same time. Oladipo is difficult to defend against Curry. Although Korver has a very active defensive attitude, Thompson has always played off the ball in the Wizards. It is difficult for the two to have a direct confrontation. As for George's confrontation with Middleton, it is basically a complete abuse.

Even at the power forward position, Antetokounmpo was firmly suppressed by Leonard.

This made it difficult for the Bucks players to bite the score no matter how hard they worked. They lost 7 points in the first quarter, and then the second quarter expanded to 12 points. Expand to 20 points or more.

So far, the game has lost its suspense.

When Wang Xiao replaced Brother Antetokounmpo and others, they all seemed very unwilling.

113:87, this is the final score of the two sides, the Bucks lost 26 points in the opening game.

For the failure of this game, Wang Xiao didn't say much. At the press conference after the game, he just praised the players' fighting spirit on the field, and expressed that he was very satisfied with the performance of the players and believed that they had played well. An excellent performance, but the opponent's performance is even better.
