The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

Although shooting rights and personal data have declined, Jamison and Butler have not shown much dissatisfaction during the season.

Jamison is 34 years old this year, while Butler, although younger, is also over 30 and is entering the end of his career.

Compared with data, they care more about results. If they can make the team achieve better results, they don't care about the sacrifice of data.

This is why Wang Xiao didn't trade them like he traded Arenas.

Unlike Arenas, Jamison and Butler are not the kind of players who care about status, but their rich experience can lead rookies such as Curry Harden to advance, especially in the fiercely competitive playoffs. Even more so!

Wizards, inside the head coach's office.

Wang Xiao couldn't help touching his chin as he looked at the Eastern Conference's final ranking list.

When all 30 teams in the league have finished the regular season, the final ranking of the East is as follows: the Cleveland Cavaliers win 62 in the East, the Washington Wizards win 58, the Orlando Magic win 56, and the Atlanta Hawks win 51. , fifth Boston Celtics 50 wins, sixth Milwaukee Bucks 46 wins, seventh Miami Heat 44 wins, eighth Charlotte Bobcats 43 wins.

The second-ranked Wizards in the Eastern Conference's opponent in the first round of the playoffs is the seventh-ranked Miami Heat.

"This opponent is quite interesting..."

Seeing the Heat, Wang Xiao couldn't help but think of Pat Riley.

Before defeating the Big Three of the Heat in the future, it would be nice to collect some interest.

Today's Heat team, although it is said that it has a top shooting guard Wade, but there is only one Wade.

In addition to Wade, the Heat also have O'Neal, who is plagued by injuries, Michael Beasley, who seems to have a bright future but is actually a waste, and Richardson, who averaged 8.9 points per game in the regular season.

But even so, Wang Xiao had no intention of underestimating his opponent.

There are two reasons.

The first point is that today's Wizards team has too many young people, they are inexperienced, and they are likely to perform abnormally in the face of the playoffs.

The second point is easy, Wade.

Wang Xiao vaguely remembered that in another time and space, the Heat should face the Celtics in this year's playoffs.

Facing the Celtics' iron chain defense, Wade averaged 33 points, 6.8 assists and 5.6 rebounds per game, and his performance was explosive!

Although the Wizards have an absolute advantage in terms of lineup and record, if they underestimate the enemy, they may capsize in the gutter.

In fact, the outside world is generally not optimistic about the performance of the Wizards in the playoffs.

Even with an amazing regular-season performance, the Wizards' problems still exist.

Reliant on 3s, poor defense...

"The playoffs are different from the regular season. This is a real battle, and it can't be fooled by playing tricks."

TNT signed a contract commentator, and the famous mouth Barkley made it very clear when he was doing a TV show.

"If the Wizards still shoot three-pointers from the outside and play fast-paced games in the playoffs like they did in the regular season, they are likely to be eliminated by the Heat. The Orlando Magic may be facing in the next round! That monster is already hungry and thirsty!"

In the end, Barkley predicted that the score between the Wizards and the Heat will be 2:4, and the Heat will beat the Wizards with a gram.

Regarding Barkley's prediction, Wang Xiao just smiled and did not make any comments.

On April 17, the first round of the playoffs started, and the Wizards ushered in their first game against the Miami Heat at home.

...

Wang Xiao sat on the bench seat, watching the game calmly. Beside him, the Wizards players were all excitedly waving their towels to cheer for their teammates.

"Steph got the ball, he passed Arroyo! Drove inside and made a layup! Beautiful! Steph-Curry!"

During the commentator's passionate commentary, the referee's whistle sounded at the same time.

"Wonderful 2+1! Stephen didn't feel any discomfort in the first playoff game of his career. He seemed to be born for the game!"

At this time, there are still about 3 minutes before the end of the second quarter. The score on the court is 49:35. The Wizards at home lead by 14 points!

Heat coach Spoelstra paced back and forth on the sidelines, a little sweat on his forehead.

Before this game, he put a lot of effort into studying the Wizards' tactics and the technical characteristics of each player, and formulated several sets of defensive tactics in a targeted manner.

But the series only lasted half a game, and Spoelstra had already used all his strength.

He was shocked to find that the targeted defensive tactics he designed were simply vulnerable.

In the first quarter of the game, the veteran player of the Wizards, the All-Star power forward Antawn Jamison, made the first effort.

Jamison is facing off against second-year rookie Michael Beasley.

The playing styles of the two are quite similar, but in terms of experience, Jamison beat Beasley by several blocks.

Through frequent moves and pick-and-rolls, Jamison easily turned Beasley around.

Jamison scored consecutively so that Spoelstra had to replace Haslem to strengthen the inside defense.

But with Haslem on the court, the already slow Heat became even slower.

Wang Xiao made a decisive decision and immediately changed his formation, replacing Heywood and letting Jamison replace him at the center.

The speed of the Wizards of the death five small lineup instantly increased, constantly using fast breaks to attack the Heat's defense.

O'Neal quickly made three fouls and had to be replaced. Haslem also suffered two fouls and struggled.

Spoelstra was surprised to find that the only players on his team who could keep up with the pace of the Wizards seemed to be Wade and Chalmers!

Wade's performance in this game was quite strong. With Danny Green's almost close-fitting defense, he scored 20 points before the end of the half game, almost carrying the Heat forward by himself, but only That's all.

The Wizards' defense is weak, but it is an indisputable fact that the Heat have no offensive points except for Wade, especially when O'Neal, the only one with good offensive ability with the ball, sits on the sidelines due to foul troubles.

At the end of the first half, the point difference between the two teams was 16 points, and when the game ended, the point difference had reached 27 points.

Wade scored a full 39 points in this game, the highest in the game, but it is still difficult to prevent the team from losing.

The Wizards didn't use much effort at all, and easily defeated the Heat without bloodshed!

Anyone who has watched this game can't help but sigh.

The strength gap is too big!

It is true that the Wizards rely on three-pointers and are weak defensively, but under the almost terrifying offensive ability, these shortcomings seem to be completely covered up.
