After losing to the Lakers away, the Wizards ended their winning streak, but even so, the Wizards' top spot in the East is still as stable as Mount Tai, and the Bulls, ranked second, still have a three-game victory difference between the Wizards.

Following the last stop of the 4th consecutive away game, Wang Xiao had no intention of letting go against the New York Knicks.

Curry and Jamison, who had been recuperating for a game, both started and started.

It may be a bit straightforward, but compared to the Lakers, the Knicks are indeed a soft persimmon that is easy to pinch.

Although there are All-Star players like Stoudemire in the Knicks lineup, only one Stoudemire can make a move.

The five starting tigers of the Knicks are Amare Stoudemire, Wilson Chandler, Raymond Felton, Danilo Gallinari and Ronnie Turiav.

Chandler, Felton and Garlinari are all barely considered good players, but that's all. At least in the eyes of people like Wang Xiao who have the ability to make time travelers foresight, these players are completely unqualified in starting.

In fact, when the trading deadline in February, these people will be traded as trading chips to the Nuggets in exchange for another superstar, Cameron Anthony, and MVP Chauncey Billups in the finals.

Now, this starting lineup is simply vulnerable under the bombardment of the Wizards.

The Knicks have not attached much importance to defense for many years, and it became even more exaggerated when the team's head coach was replaced by the Suns' running and shooting godfather D'Antoni.

This is a game with no suspense at all, just like when the Wizards played against the Lakers in the last game. At halftime, the difference between the two teams was already more than 20 points. The difference is that in the last game, the Wizards were behind, and they were in the lead in this game.

After the third quarter of the game, Stoudemire tried to lead the team to launch a counterattack. Although the Knicks' defense was not very good, their offensive ability was much better under D'Antoni's training. He averaged 106 points per game this season, ranking third among the 30 teams in the league.

Unfortunately, their opponent is the Washington Wizards, who can average 117 points per game and ranks first in the league.

Although the attack launched by Stoudmeier was fierce, the Wizards suppressed it with a more fierce attack!

In the end, the game ended 127:102, and the Wizards won the away game with a 25-point advantage.

In this game, Stadmeier scored a game-high 36 points, but he was unable to support himself. Facing the team's seven players in double digits, and Curry, Harden and Jamison both scored 20+ points, he could only sigh that his teammates were not strong enough.

After defeating the Knicks, the Wizards' Hell-style four-game match finally ended.

In four games, the Wizards achieved a record of 3 wins and 1 loss, and such a result is already very rare.

Wang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. After surviving this four-game series, the next schedule will be much better.

After four consecutive away games, the Wizards had two consecutive home games, with two weak opponents, the Kings and the Nets. There was a full 6-day break between these two home games. For the NBA regular season schedule, which averaged one game every two days, it could be considered a short holiday. It was also the league that took into account the fatigue of four consecutive away games, so it specially arranged two extra days of rest time.

However... Wang Xiao's breath could not be relaxed for too long.

The two home games are December 14 and December 16 respectively. After 4 more games, it will be December 25.

Christmas, Christmas War!

In previous years, the Christmas game had nothing to do with the Wizards. After all, under the leadership of Arenas, the Wizards' best results were just the second round of the Eastern Conference.

But this year is different.

Last season, the Wizards, led by Wang Xiao, played one of the most exciting performances in history. The team used the most gorgeous tactics to overcome all the hurdles and ended up being eliminated by the Celtics.

This season, the Wizards have also become participants in the Christmas game. On December 25, their opponent was the Boston Celtics who eliminated the Wizards in the Eastern Conference Finals last season.

This game cannot be ignored by Wang Xiao.

Due to the appearance of Wang Xiao and the emergence of the Wizards, the Bulls, who should have been ranked first in the East this season, fell to second, and the Heat, who was ranked second, fell to third, and the Celtics, who should have ranked third in the East, naturally fell to fourth in the East. If we predict this ranking, in the playoffs, the Celtics are likely to meet the Wizards, who are ranked first in the second round.

Although the regular season has only been played one-quarter so far and the final record ranking is still uncertain, Wang Xiao feels that this possibility is extremely high.

In this case, the four regular season games with the Celtics became particularly important.

Wang Xiao’s goal this season is to snipe the Heat Big Three in the playoffs, but it would be too embarrassing if he hadn’t met the Heat Big Three before he could fall in front of the Celtics.

In order to achieve the goal, it is necessary to ensure a playoff victory against the Celtics.

At the beginning of the season, the Wizards played against the Celtics away once.

And that game was the Wizards who lost.

The Celtics lineup also has some Wizards who mainly play small ball tactics.

Unlike the Lakers using the double towers to bring huge pressure to the Wizards' interior, the main reason why the Celtics restrain the Wizards is that the team's defensive ability is too strong.

Rondo, Ray Allen, and Pierce's outside defense ability is no weaker than the combination of Lakers Kobe, Artest and Fisher. In the Celtics, there is also a super defensive player Kevin Garnett who claims to be able to defend from No. 1 to No. 5.

Garnett, who is the same age as Jamison and is already 36 years old, has seen significant declines in all aspects of the season, averaging only 15 points and 9 rebounds per game, but no one dares to underestimate this former Wolf King.

At least in the playoffs last season and early this season, Garnett seemed at ease when defending the Wizards' small ball lineup, especially the Wizards' most commonly used inside players to pull down the outside to assist in the pick-and-roll tactics, which was quite poor in front of Garnett, who was tall, long and fast.

"How to deal with the Celtics?"

While Wang Xiao was having a headache about this problem, he had to pay attention to another matter.

The Christmas game on December 25 is the Wizards will play against the Celtics, and on December 27, at the Wizards' home court, their opponent will be the Miami Heat.
