The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

Chapter 355: Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals

"Embiid and Jokic are both space-type insiders who can go inside and outside. Their positions will not be limited to the center position, but they can also serve as power forwards. The two big men are on the court at the same time. It can put a lot of pressure on the opponent when you go up, not to mention that the Bucks have a 2.11 Antetokounmpo?"

Wang Xiao talked eloquently to Wesley.

He certainly couldn't tell Wesley that, as a time-traveler, he knew Embiid would elect to undergo surgery for a stress fracture in his right foot in a few weeks, completely reimbursed for his rookie season, followed by a navicular bone graft in his foot 15 years later. Reimbursed for the next season.

It wasn't until 2016 that Embiid appeared in the NBA, and he only played 31 games throughout the 16-17 season.

But as a basketball coach, Wang Xiao is more than enough to fool a business giant who doesn't know the ball very well.

After analyzing the advantages that height can provide the Bucks from several tactical levels, Wesley was completely convinced by Wang Xiao.

"Well, Wang, I trust your vision."

In fact, Wesley didn't pay attention to a second-round draft pick. After all, there are very few players selected in the second round who can be worth a lot over the years. In short, it is not a loss for the Bucks.

"I wish you and your team win the championship again and build a dynasty!"

Wesley said with a smile and raised his glass.

"I would like to borrow your good words." Wang Xiao also raised his wine glass, clinked glasses with Wesley and said with a smile.

...

After the lottery ceremony, on May 24, the Wizards came to Cleveland to play Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals with the Cavaliers.

For the Cavaliers, when they are 0:2 behind, there is no way to retreat in this game at home, because once the total score reaches 3:0, then the Cavaliers have no hope of even that little bit .

In the entire NBA history, there has never been a team that has been able to complete a comeback after falling behind 0:3.

So at the beginning of the game, the Cavaliers showed a strong aggressiveness. James and Irving kept using their personal abilities to break through and cause damage, smashing the Wizards' defense to pieces.

It is unimaginable that even the defense line of Thompson + Leonard + Green + Gobert will be completely blown away.

James at this stage has indeed reached the peak of his personal ability. Under the full play and the outbreak of desperation, Leonard, who has not fully grown to the peak, is still difficult to parry, even with Green.

The Cavaliers had a rare win against the Wizards and extended their lead to more than double digits.

The leading advantage made the Cavaliers struggling to survive after the substitute lineup came on the stage, and passed through the most difficult third quarter of death in the past.

And when the game entered the fourth quarter, it seemed to be a bayonet fight with no skills at all.

There are no tactics, just the display of the personal abilities of the stars.

On the Cavaliers side, the ball is basically in the hands of James and Irving, while on the Wizards side, only Curry, Thompson and Leonard are attacking with the ball.

Curry's three-pointer in this game didn't feel good. At the critical moment, he even rushed into the inside several times to cause damage, and was even slapped by James' cap for a layup.

The scores of the two teams remained stalemate until the last minute.

The score of the two teams was tied at 102:102, and the Cavaliers had the ball.

James handed the ball to Irving, signaling the opponent to play singles with the ball.

Seeing this scene, Wang Xiao couldn't help but jump in his heart.

As expected of James, even at such a critical moment, his brain is still awake.

Due to the slow retreat speed, Curry and Thompson did not have time to change positions in the future. At this time, it was the weakest link of the Wizards' defense, Curry, to mark Irving!

Throughout the game, Wang Xiao tried his best to let Thompson mark Irving instead of Curry, but even with such a small time difference, he was still caught by James!

Facing Curry's defense, Irving slowly dribbled the ball outside the three-point line looking for an opportunity, and then he didn't make any fake moves, and directly pulled up a jump shot one step away from the three-point line.

Curry's reaction was already fast, and he immediately rushed to interfere with the line of sight, but it was still a step too late.

"brush!"

The basketball passed the net crisply, and Irving used Curry's most common method to get the most critical score!

The entire Cavaliers are boiling at home! The fans cheered wildly.

Wang Xiao, who was sitting on the bench, was a little dazed.

He always felt familiar with this scene, as if the other one was in the air, the 73-win Warriors were completely defeated by such a murderous three-pointer in the tiebreaker of the finals!

The opposing players, attacking angles and methods are all so similar.

"Is there such a coincidence?"

Although he was very surprised in his heart, Wang Xiao's movements did not slow down because of this, and the pause was called out almost at the next moment.

With 40 seconds left in the game and the score was 102:105, the Cavaliers took the absolute initiative. Even if the Wizards hit a three-pointer or scored a two-pointer in the next round, they must defend the Cavaliers' offense in the next round. It is possible to create a draw or win.

"Curry, the next ball will continue to be played by you."

When the players gathered, Wang Xiao said to Curry.

As the core of the team, it is an unavoidable choice to stand up at critical moments.

In fact, this is also a helpless decision.

If George can play, Wang Xiao is more inclined to let George complete this crucial goal, but George's season reimbursement disrupted all this.

Although Leonard successfully took over George's work in the second half of the season and did a good job, it is not enough to take on the heavy responsibility at this moment, especially in this game, Leonard was exploded by the small universe on both ends of the offense and defense. James has blown up, currently 6 of 15 shots, the efficiency is not high.

As for Thompson, although his performance is as stable as ever, he is not suitable to take over the game at a critical moment.

Therefore, it must be Curry, and it can only be Curry.

Hearing Wang Xiao's arrangement, Curry didn't say much, just nodded vigorously.

"Quickly grab a 2-pointer, then defend the Cavaliers' next round of offense, and finally kill the opponent!"

Curry's three-pointer is not accurate in this game, Wang Xiao doesn't want to bet on his touch, and Irving's magical shot just now makes Wang Xiao not want to use the same tactics as the Warriors.

Although Curry's three-pointers are unrivaled in the world, in fact, as a point guard, his ability to finish at the basket is also among the best among guards, and he is completely trustworthy.

After a brief timeout, players from both teams reappeared.

Gobert served from the bottom line and passed the basketball to Green. Green held the ball from the top arc to wait and see, while Curry slid the bottom line to the inside under the cover of Thompson without the ball.

Green immediately hit the ground and passed the ball to send the basketball out, but on the way, he made a Cheng Yaojin.

"LeBron James! Key steal!"

In the exclamation of the on-site commentary, James just appeared on the passing route and intercepted the basketball!
