The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

Throughout March, the Heat continued to win consecutive victories, 10 consecutive victories, 15 consecutive victories, 20 consecutive victories...

Soon, they broke Dayao's 22-game winning streak and continued to move toward the Lakers' 33-game winning streak.

On the other hand, after the Wizards entered March, they also started a winning streak.

The opponents the Wizards encountered in April were so weak that even though the Wizards frequently rested the main starters, they still maintained an amazing winning rate, and the winning streak broke through 10 consecutive victories unknowingly.

Counting the history of the entire league, there has never been two teams in the same half of the district achieving such a long winning streak at the same time.

People are curious about whether the Heat can break the record of the Lakers' 33-game winning streak, and they are also very curious about whether the Wizards' winning streak can catch up with the Heat.

However, this curiosity did not last long, because the Wizards took the lead in losing and fixed the winning streak at 13 consecutive victories.

This time the Wizards lost not because of the rotation of the main players, but because their opponents felt too good.

As the saying goes, who doesn't eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year?

Although the Wizards have the most powerful and perfect lineup in the entire league, when a team feels overwhelmed and shoots well no matter how well it shoots, losing becomes a matter of course.

After the loss, the Wizards' winning streak came to an abrupt end, but the Heat's winning streak continued.

23 consecutive victories, 24 consecutive victories, 25 consecutive victories...

It was not until the away game against the Bulls at the end of March that the Heat finally lost 101:97, fixing the winning streak at 27 consecutive victories.

The streak came to an abrupt end, which made Heat fans feel sorry for missing out on their chance to break the longest winning streak in history, which was only six games away.

But at the same time, the good state and chemical reaction of the Heat team made them look forward to the Heat's performance in the playoffs, and even many fans began to shout slogans for revenge against the Wizards.

They have a reason, and they should.

In the entire Eastern Conference, the only team that can overwhelm the Heat is the Wizards.

The Big Three of the Celtics are old and sluggish, and they can only rank eighth in the Eastern Conference this season.

Although Anthony and Deron can still maintain a good level of competition among the Big Three of the Knicks, Stoudemire, the bully, is plagued by injuries. While his attendance rate is less than 30%, his state has also declined seriously, averaging only 14.2 points per game. Points and 5 rebounds.

With only two of the Big Three left, they are by no means opponents of the Heat.

As for other teams, Rose of the Bulls is reimbursed for the season, Jeremy Lin of the Nets is alone, and the Eagles and Pacers will not be taken seriously by the Heat. Therefore, the biggest and only enemy of the Heat in the Eastern Conference is the three consecutive years in the playoffs. Eliminate their Washington Wizards.

Before the end of the regular season, the two teams will have another duel. The result of this game will directly determine the confidence of the two teams in the playoffs. Neither the Heat nor the Wizards want to lose.

...

March passed, and in early April, the regular season ushered in the final sprint moment, and the Wizards finally ushered in the Miami Heat at home after 27 consecutive victories.

"Coach Wang Xiao, since the Heat's 27-game winning streak, up to now, the Heat have only lost 2 games. Their state is just like the name of the team. They are very hot. May I ask you and the Wizards to beat this state? Are the fiery Heat sure?"

Before the game, a reporter stopped Wang Xiao and asked such a question.

In this regard, Wang Xiao smiled and said: "Is it your first day at work? This question also needs to be asked?"

In front of the media, Wang Xiao still maintained his usual arrogant attitude towards the Heat, but in the locker room, Wang Xiao seriously warned every player.

"The opponent is a strong team that has won 27 consecutive victories. This is a record that we have never achieved, so we must not underestimate the opponent in the next game. We must go all out. The victory of this game is important for us. Very important." Wang Xiao looked around at every player.

"If we can sweep them in the regular season, we can also sweep them in the playoffs!"

...

At the beginning of the game, the Heat's starting lineup was the best, and it was the strongest starting lineup during the 27-game winning streak.

Point guard Chalmers, shooting guard Wade, small forward James, power forward Haslem, center Bosh, Ray Allen, Battier and Rashad Lewis were sitting on the bench.

The same is true for the Wizards, with a full lineup of Curry, Thompson, Leonard, George and Whiteside.

The two teams jumped the ball, and Whiteside, who had an advantage in height and jumping, easily jumped and beat Bosh, and passed the basketball to Curry. After the latter held the ball for halftime, he immediately transferred the ball to George.

George is playing against Haslem. As a defensive champion, Haslem's defensive ability is quite good, but what he is good at is supplementary defense and strong resistance inside. Players who are actually small forwards seem a little powerless.

Relying on the advantage of speed, George singled Haslem very easily. He made 3 of 3 shots in the opening game and quickly gained the lead for the Wizards.

Heat coach Spoelstra reacted quickly and immediately replaced Haslem with Sean Battier to mark George.

George has extremely high efficiency in singles against Haslem, but after facing Battier, there is no way to maintain a high offensive efficiency. After all, the opponent is a rare defensive master in the league. Everyone has a headache.

George's strength has obviously improved to another level this season, but he has not reached the level of the peak period in the future, and even George at the peak period relies on balanced offensive and defensive capabilities, not strong offensive skills.

However, while George's side was slightly stalled, James was also secretly frightened on the Heat's side.

"This rookie has become stronger again?!!!"

The last time I played against Leonard was at the end of January, and now it is the beginning of April, just over two months have passed.

However, in just over two months, Leonard's strength has actually improved significantly!

In the two short confrontations just now, James found that Leonard's defense has become more sophisticated, and the previously tried and tested skills are completely useless. This kid is as indestructible as a copper wall and an iron wall. James can think of dealing with him in a short time The only way is to rely on physical fitness to forcefully hit the basket!

Staring closely at the expressionless Leonard, James felt deep fear in his heart.

Not because of Leonard's strength, but because of Wang Xiao's terrifying vision and the speed of training players!

First George, then Leonard, he almost witnessed the growth of these players who played against him at an astonishing speed, becoming the top players in the league!
