The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

At the beginning, George gave him a headache. The defense like jellybean, the offensive ability that cannot be let go, and the fighting spirit that never admits defeat all made James feel very uncomfortable.

Although in the matchup between the two, James is often the one with the upper hand. Whether it is the process or the final statistics, he can stabilize George's head, but the final victory of the game is often won by the Wizards.

Because he is already the most capable one in the Heat, but George is not the ace of the Wizards...

Now, George has completely stopped playing against him and replaced him with Leonard.

The second-year rookie's offensive ability is inferior to George's, but his defensive ability is much better.

With better physical fitness, longer wingspan and faster growth than George, Leonard was ruthlessly beaten by James in the playoffs last season, but by the end of this season, his defensive ability Has gone up more than one notch!

This is just a rookie in the second grade! ! !

...

On the sidelines, looking at James, who was devastated by Leonard, Wang Xiao smiled with some satisfaction.

Leonard's progress rate made him feel very gratified. Although his personal data is not obvious, but with his full training bonus regardless of the cost, Leonard's strength has improved amazingly, and now he may not lose. Another level of time and space in the 13-14 season.

You must know that during that time period, Leonard won the finals MVP by virtue of his defense against James in the finals, thus starting the road to superstardom!

With such a Leonard guarding the whole time, it is enough for James to stand it!

And Leonard's task is to mark James all the way, and he doesn't need to worry about offense. The Wizards have never lacked offensive firepower.

...

After George opened fire, Klay Thompson was the second to take over the fire.

In order to limit Curry's performance, the Heat, as always, let Wade mark Curry and Chalmers mark Thompson.

This kind of scene has not appeared once or twice, and Thompson has long been familiar with it. Chalmers' defense seems to be useless in front of him.

Keeping the bottom line and running to the basket, using the inside pick-and-roll to easily open up a little space, Thompson catches the ball and turns over and shoots a jumper. The basketball easily enters the net without any hindrance.

On the court, the Wizards once again took the initiative. Compared with the Wizards, who have many offensive points and can attack from any position, the Heat's offense is extremely blocked.

Under Leonard, Thompson and George's three defensive leaders, the Heat's tactics are extremely difficult to execute. Basically, they can't get rid of their defenders, even if they rely on pick-and-rolls to separate the defenders. The Wizards switched defenses. The speed is also fast enough that the Heat have no time to execute tactics.

In addition to steals or fast breaks that are strong enough to defend rebounds, the only way for the Heat to maintain offensive efficiency is to allow players to play singles non-stop.

James, Wade, Bosh and others took turns to attack, constantly relying on their personal ability to attack, but this kind of offensive efficiency is not high, after all, the three of them are facing the strongest defensive player of the Wizards.

At the end of the first quarter, the Wizards led by 9 points 33:24.

Such a result makes the Wizards fans rejoice.

"So what about a 27-win streak? Isn't it the same as our opponent?"

"What shit is 27 wins in a row, it's just that they didn't meet the Wizards. If they met us earlier, they wouldn't even get 10 wins in a row!"

The Heat's winning streak after the All-Star Weekend allowed them to catch up with the Wizards in the record list. Although the Wizards maintained a high winning percentage as always, they were also frequently rested by Curry and other players. Lost a lot of games that should not have been lost, which gradually narrowed the record gap between the two teams.

Before the start of this game, the Wizards had a record of 65 wins and 12 losses, while the Heat had a record of 63 wins and 14 losses. The difference in wins was only 2 games. If the Wizards lose to the Heat in this game, the gap between the two sides will be further shortened. The Heat even have the possibility of threatening the Wizards' No. 1 in the Eastern Conference.

But now judging from the situation in the first quarter, your uncle is still your uncle. Even if you get the second 27 consecutive victories in league history, the Heat are still at a disadvantage when they face the Wizards.

...

In the second quarter, the Heat made another adjustment to their lineup. They replaced Chalmers and let Ray Allen play early.

On the one hand, this arrangement is to strengthen the outside firepower, so as to help James and others to better stretch space. On the other hand, although Ray Allen is older and his defensive ability has declined, he is also stronger than Chalmers. It's a lot stronger. Let him defend Thompson, and he can more or less curb Thompson's offensive rhythm.

The effect of such an adjustment is indeed very good, but in Wang Xiao's view, it is just drinking poison to quench thirst.

Ray Allen's early debut meant that when the bench lineup came on, the Heat lacked the main scoring points.

Originally, the Heat's bench lineup was far inferior to that of the Wizards, but now without Ray Allen's fire support, their offensive ability has dropped by a notch.

And even if Ray Allen came on stage early, the Heat could only maintain a 50-50 split with the Wizards on the scene.

...

As Wang Xiao expected, as the main players left the field one after another and substitute players came on the field, the 50-50 situation was immediately broken.

Players like Jamison, Chandler Parsons and Jimmy Butler are in such good shape that the Heat's aging bench is no match for them.

The situation that was too one-sided made the Heat have to let James make an early debut to maintain the situation.

However, as soon as James came on the court, the opponent he faced changed from Leonard to Draymond Green.

Naturally, Green's current defensive ability cannot be compared with Leonard, George and others, but he will also be the player who won the best defensive player in the future. Since the 14-15 season, he has never been absent from the best defensive team. Defensive player.

Even though Green's defensive style disgusts many people, in order to limit opponents, he will do everything possible to kick eggs and poke eyes, but as a player, there is no doubt that Green is the kind of player that coaches like very much.

At this moment, Wang Xiao felt that James' heart must have collapsed.

In fact, it is true, James is almost half crazy.

After two simple collisions, James discovered that although Green's defensive ability is much worse than Leonard's, he is also a very difficult opponent! And compared to Leonard, this guy's defensive style is much dirtier.

Just in the process of breaking through with the ball, he was secretly elbowed by Green!

Can you stop playing like this, I just want to play well!

First Caron Butler, then George, Leonard, and now Green, is this still alive?
