The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

After the game entered the fourth quarter, the Bulls once again launched a fierce offensive under the leadership of Rose in an attempt to catch up with the score.

But Wang Xiao and the Wizards didn't give them a chance to catch up.

In the final quarter of the game, Curry still continued his fiery touch, hitting consecutive three-pointers from the outside at critical moments, directly killing the game.

The entire Bulls team, from head coach Thibodeau to Rose and other players, all wanted to win this game, but they tried their best, but they could only hate the game.

If the Bulls can win this game, not only will they be able to recover two games directly from the Wizards, but they will also have an advantage in the game.

It's a pity that now, instead, the gap between the two teams has become even bigger.

At the end of the game, the score of the two teams was 99:88. The Wizards rarely failed to score, but the 11-point net difference seems to indicate that the strength of the two teams is average.

In the first half of the game, Rose was targeted everywhere for his abnormal performance, but in the second half, he found a chance to show his true strength. After the whole game, he scored 28 points and 9 assists, and almost got a double-double. However, such a performance still failed to lead the Bulls. Win the game.

28 points is the Bulls team's highest score, but it is not the highest score in the game.

Curry of the Wizards scored the highest score in the game.

Curry's hand feeling is particularly good today. Although the Bulls also made defensive tactics against Curry like the Wizards did against Rose, Curry is completely unstoppable when the hand feels good.

He made 8 of 14 three-pointers, and his shooting percentage was as high as 57%. With three-pointers alone, Curry scored 24 points in this game!

With such a high three-point shooting percentage, how could the Bulls win the next game?

...

The away game against the Bulls made the Wizards' No. 1 position in the Eastern Conference more stable, and the Christmas victory over the Celtics, the heat at the end of December and the current away game against the Bulls, the Wizards continued to beat the regular season in key battles. The direct competitor of the league has also made the league pay more and more attention to this team whose components have only been one and a half years old.

Being able to reach second in the Eastern Conference and enter the Eastern Conference Finals in one season may also be explained by the fact that other teams in the league are not very adaptable to the Wizards' fast-paced tactical play.

But this is the second season, and the Wizards, who use the tactics of running and bombing and crazy three-pointers, are still so strong!

This can fully explain the problem!

For the Wizards, the general fans' evaluation is not particularly good. They all think that this is a pseudo-strong team, relying on imitating the Suns' running and bombing tactics and gambling three-pointers.

If you are lucky, if you make a three-pointer, you will win the game. If you are not lucky, if you miss a three-pointer, you will lose.

Such a style of play can be regarded as a deviant behavior in the current league.

Although with the aging and injury of traditional centers such as O'Neal, Duncan and Yao Ming, there are not many strong traditional centers in the league.

But the vast majority of people are still because this is a game where the inside wins the world, and the closer to the basket, the higher the scoring efficiency should be.

However, after finishing second in the Eastern Conference last season, this season, the Wizards actually intensified their efforts and took the No. The situation, and even the appearance of sitting directly until the end of the season.

With the Big Three, the Heat can't resist, and the Celtics and Bulls, who rank first and second in the league in defensive ability, can't defend either.

This makes people doubt, are three-pointers and running and bombing tactics really so strong?

The answer is of course.

With changes in league rules and players' self-improvement, the league's tactics will inevitably change.

In the 2008-09 season, the Phoenix Suns, which set off a storm in the league, averaged 109 points per game in the regular season, ranking first in the league at the time, and the New York Knicks, which had the most three-point shots, averaged 28 three-pointers per game. ball.

In the 2018-19 season, the Memphis Grizzlies, with the lowest scoring average in the league, also averaged 103 total points per game, and the Bucks, the league's number one scoring team, even reached an astonishing 118 points per game! In 2009, the Suns averaged 109 points per game and could only rank eighth from the bottom in the 18-19 season.

That year, the league made the most three-pointers. The Houston Rockets made 45 three-pointers per game.

Some people will always say that the later alliance is a gathering place for a bunch of soft guys. This group of people should be placed in the 1990s, and Jordan and others should play Xiang.

But Wang Xiao always felt that this was pure nonsense.

The defense in the 1990s is undoubtedly stronger than that of the later alliance, but is it really feasible to use the defensive tactics of the 90s to defend the later alliance's tactics?

This discussion of Guan Gong fighting Qin Qiong will never be fruitful, but in 2009, Wang Xiao moved the theory of the Warriors' small ball tactics to the Wizards in the future, and now the results have been obtained.

Future tactics are definitely feasible now, because the league's tactical system at this stage does not have a good way to defend small ball tactics that quickly switch between offense and defense.

And in the final analysis, tactics are just a carrier, and it is the core players of the team that really determine the strength of a team.

Stronger than Jordan, it was only after the team got Pippen and Rodman that he led the team to win two three consecutive championships.

The Lakers' dynasty in the early 20th century was also won by O'Neal's partner Kobe.

The Spurs, who have been playing like a day for more than ten years, also have the silent guardian of Duncan, the most powerful forward in history.

The little emperor James also had to make "decision 1" in order to win the championship, and he went to the south coast to join hands with his brothers under the infamy.

The reason why Wang Xiao's small ball tactics, which was born out of the Warriors' tactics, was successful in a very short period of time was not because of advanced tactical awareness, but because of the strength of the players.

Whoever has players like Curry, Harden, and George, as well as a training system that can quickly improve the player's strength and tactical skills used on the field, and the team's record can still be poor after the end, then it is really an idiot.

If the players in Wang Xiao's hands are all from the bottom team in the current league, such as the Cavaliers, no matter how flawless his tactical design is, it is absolutely impossible to achieve such brilliant results as he is now.

The time has entered February, and the second round of NBA All-Star voting is also in full swing. In the second round of voting, Jeremy Lin surpassed Curry and led the Eastern Conference guard list with a slight advantage.

Curry can only come in second.

Although the number of votes fell behind to Jeremy Lin, with the support of Huaxia fans, Curry's votes are still far ahead of Wade and Rose.

According to the All-Star voting rules, guards are the top two players with the most votes to be selected as All-Star starters, regardless of point guard or shooting guard.

Judging from the current number of votes, both Jeremy Lin and Curry are very likely to land this year's All-Star Weekend as All-Star starters.
