The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

I have to admit that Carmelo Anthony is easier to deal with than LeBron James.

On the offensive end, Anthony is known as an offensive kaleidoscope, and his offensive methods are much richer than James, but he does not have the ability to drop 10 points like James. For Leonard, who has excellent defensive awareness and skills, he is obviously better defensively. .

On the defensive end, Anthony is even more incomparable with James.

James has been selected to the All-Defensive Team 6 times in his career, while Anthony has not even been selected once. Anthony has excellent offensive talents, but defensively, he is not very good in terms of personal skills or attitude.

Leonard is not rich in offensive means. If he is facing James, he may not have much room to play, but this problem does not exist when facing Anthony.

While defending Anthony on 2 of 8 shots in the first quarter, Leonard made many singles with the ball. Relying on his speed and recklessness, he succeeded in breaking through frequently under Anthony's defense. He also scored 8 of 4 from 5 shots. point.

When the defensive end restricts the opponent, the offensive end can still perform at a good level, which undoubtedly helps Leonard to play with confidence.

Wang Xiao was not stingy when he saw this, and directly took advantage of the victory to pursue, allowing Leonard to increase the number of shots in the second quarter.

Leonard is no stranger to such a situation. In the first few games, even if the offensive efficiency was not high, Leonard ranked second in the Wizards in the number of shots after Curry. In this game, Facing Anthony, Leonard seemed to be playing more smoothly than in previous games.

Before halftime, Leonard had scored 17 points and shot 67 percent from the field.

In contrast, Anthony, who faced Leonard almost all the way, only had 12 points, and his shooting percentage was over 40%!

In this half of the game, Leonard actually suppressed Anthony throughout the game!

If this is the result of the confrontation between George and Anthony, many people can still express their understanding. After all, after the experience of last season, George's personal ability has been greatly improved, whether it is facing Anthony or James. Top small forwards can come and go.

But now facing Anthony is the Wizards rookie, first-year rookie Kawhi Leonard.

What kind of team is this Wizards team? After Curry, Harden, and George, Leonard is going to pop up now. Isn't this too exaggerated?

At the end of the halftime game, the point difference between the two teams had expanded to about 20 points. When the Knicks' luxurious Big Three lineup faced the Wizards, it could almost be described as helpless.

Stoudemire was injured, Anthony was suppressed by a first-year rookie, and although Deron Williams could take advantage of his weight to snatch Curry, who was facing him, but with Wang Xiao's arrangement to switch defenses, Thompson replaced Curry to mark After Deron, Deron's good days are over.

Thompson is taller and stronger than Deron. Although Deron can still score in the face of such a defense, his efficiency is not much higher than Anthony.

As the game entered the third quarter, the suspense completely disappeared.

Caron Butler, Jamison and others started to exert their strength on the bench, and directly beat the Knicks bench 12:2, and the point difference widened to more than 30 points.

Such a huge point difference caused the Knicks to surrender in advance and replace all the main players.

In the end, the score between the two sides was fixed at 121:96. The Wizards beat the Knicks by 25 points. Leonard, who made 10 of 17 shots in the game and a 59% shooting rate, scored a Wizards game-high 28 points. point.

Anthony, who was facing Leonard almost the whole game, scored 18 points with just over 40% shooting and was completely defeated.

"Another Paul George's rise? How many talents does the Wizards have?"

"Leonard showed a suffocating defense, Anthony was at a loss!"

"28 points, a career high, will Leonard become a strong scoring point for the Wizards?"

Leonard's outbreak shocked many teams and the media in the league.

You must know that March is almost over, and April will also be the last month of the regular season. Each team has less than 20 games left, and most of the other teams are consolidating their existing lineup and playing. French style, preparing for the subsequent playoffs, only the Wizards, there are still rookies emerging at this time.

Curry, George and Thompson alone are enough to cause headaches for teams in the entire league. Now it is a bit too difficult to analyze and study Leonard's style of play.

Others' amazement belongs to others' amazement, Wang Xiao cares about you?

He has only one goal this season, and that is to win the championship, and the biggest threat on the way to the championship this season is only one team, and that is the Miami Heat.

James this season is completely different from last season, and George alone is definitely not an opponent.

Even if it's just to target James, Wang Xiao will definitely develop Leonard's ability. When the time comes, Leonard and George will take turns serving him to see if he is afraid.

Not only George and Leonard, the Wizards also have Chandler Parsons and two Butlers on the bench. Although their strength may not be as good as George and Leonard, they will focus on When it comes to defense, it will definitely cause some trouble for James.

As for the west side, since Wang Xiao selected Durant in the Trail Blazers, it is difficult for him to judge which team can make it out of the west, but judging from the current situation, with Durant, Aldridge The Trail Blazers of the Big Three with Jr. Jordan obviously have an advantage. Young, strong and energetic, this Trail Blazers is very similar to the Thunder in another time and space in 12 years.

Wang Xiao is not worried about the West. Although Durant is strong, he is still not as good as James. George Leonard is more than enough to deal with it.

As the hype goes, the only opponent the Wizards have this season is the Miami Heat...

The Wizards also won all the remaining games in March without any suspense, and the victory came to 40 wins and 11 losses.

With a winning rate of 78%, the Wizards still sit firmly in the top spot in the league, and the Bulls and Spurs can only take second place.

At this time, there are only the last 15 games left in April from the end of the regular season. No one doubts that the Wizards will win the best record in the league this season. The difference is close to 3 games.

Unless the Wizards collapse across the board in the game in April, they will never easily give up the league's first position.

The possibility of this is too small. What makes the Wizards most angry with other teams is the luxurious bench lineup. This season, the Wizards played 51 games until the end of March. Almost all five starting players have had rotations. Instead of 1 game and 2 games, each player has about 5 games on average.

In terms of physical reserves, many teams have fewer veterans over the age of 30 than these rookies with an average age of 24.
