Chapter 196 Who doesn't eat dumplings during Chinese New Year?
Wang Xiao can be said to be extremely strategically despised, but in terms of tactics, the Heat is his most important opponent. After all, it is a team that has reached the finals for four consecutive years and won the championship twice. In today's league, there is no doubt that it belongs to the top team.
Although the Big Three has been ridiculed by many people in the peak of the team and the top two championships in four years, that cannot conceal the success of the Big Three Heat.
You know, in the entire NBA history, there are only a few teams who have won three consecutive championships and established a dynasty.
In the ancient 1950s, the Lakers, Cardinal Auerbach and Lord of the Rings Russell, the Celtics, the two three-game Bulls, the God of Basketball Jordan, and the Lakers led by O'Neal and Kobe.
Apart from that, there is no team that has won three consecutive championships.
From this point of view, the Heat's Big Three Championships in four years can be regarded as one of the most successful results in modern teams. After the Lakers' three consecutive championships, only Kobe's two consecutive championships among all teams after the 21st century were Kobe's two consecutive championships, the rising star Warriors' three championships in four years, and the Spurs, who have completed Duncan's entire career, have won a total of five championships.
...
Wang Xiao's Wizards are the team that has studied the Heat the most in the league. In the whole regular season, the team has watched countless videos of the Heat's game from the head coach to every player. They have almost never lost 82 games. After watching, they have to analyze the Heat's tactics and the technical characteristics and habits of each player.
It can be said that almost half of the Wizards' regular season focus is on the Heat.
So far in the playoffs, the Wizards have experienced three opponents, the Knicks, the Celtics and the Heat. However, even if the Wizards study and analyze the tactical time between the Knicks and the Celtics, it is not as much time as the Heat's tactical time spent.
To be honest, the Wizards can be regarded as the team that is the most familiar with and understands the Heat among the 30 teams in the league, except for the Heat themselves.
It is precisely because it took a lot of time to study and think about how to deal with the Heat that when the two teams meet, the Wizards will play so well.
After the first series of the two teams, many Wizards players even felt that the Heat seemed to be better at dealing with than the Celtics. At least the game was not that difficult, especially in the last few games with the Celtics, the Wizards' usual fast-paced game could not be played at all. They could only rely on George's stable mid-range shooting to score little by little. In the end, the team scored only about 90 points in one game.
Of course, everyone knows that this is just the beginning, and the Heat Big Three will never sit idly by and wait for the team to die.
As expected, on May 19, in the second game of the two sides' series, the Heat proved their determination with their tough performance.
121:118, the Heat won the first victory in the game against the Wizards since the Big Three formed at home.
Throughout the game, James scored 31 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists triple-double data, Wade scored 41 points, and Bosh's 24 points, and the three giants alone scored 96 points!
The Heat also won the second game of the series with the super-god performance of the Big Three.
For the Wizards, Curry's 28 points were the highest score, followed by George's 25 points, Jamison's 17 points, Butler's 13 points... Some people may have discovered that there is no Harden's name among them.
Indeed, Harden played in 33 minutes in this game, made 11 shots and three shots. Including free throws, he only scored 9 points. Although he also gave 6 assists, he had 4 fouls.
It is more than a better difference from the efficient performance in the last game.
The reason why Harden plays so often is because the Heat shifted the focus of defense from Curry to him.
Facts have proved that no excellent defensive player like Rondo cannot defend Curry. Curry can not only play with the ball, but also play without the ball. If the defender stares too hard, he can also find an opportunity to shoot an open position through running without the ball and pick-and-roll covers of his teammates.
This... Harden can't do it.
Although Wang Xiao also intends to cultivate Harden's offense ability without the ball, it is obvious that some players' talents are born with nature.
Harden is destined to be a player who can only play efficiently by holding the ball and attacking the ball. He is basically not much different from Danny Green. He just stands on the outside and waits to receive the ball and shoot three-pointers.
So when Harden was on the court, the Wizards' ball rights were basically in his hands, and even Curry had to give in to him and play without the ball on the court. The reason why Harden was still playing as a substitute in the second season was also closely related to this.
After trying to limit Curry in the first game, although Spolstra said after the game that he had to come up with ways to limit Curry, in the second game, he decisively changed his tactics and focused on Harden.
As it turns out, it is much easier to deal with Harden than Curry.
Of course, the reason why the Wizards lost the game was that Harden's poor performance was on the one hand, and the Wizards failed to limit the performance of the Big Three on the other hand, allowing the Big Three to join forces to score a high score of 96 points, which was doomed to fail in this game.
Once the Wizards lose, the situation will be different immediately.
Countless media have set up long guns and short cannons. I am looking forward to how Wang Xiao, who was extremely calm when facing the Heat, would make a statement. After all, losing a game at home is definitely not good news for the Wizards. The next two games will be played at the Miami Heat's home court, and the game will only be more difficult at that time.
However, at the post-match press conference, Wang Xiao was still extremely calm.
"Well, the Heat finally got the first victory in the fight with us, congratulations."
This attitude disappointed the long-awaited media reporters, and Wang Xiao did not show any emotions such as anger, panic, or shame.
"Coach Wang Xiao, didn't you often say that defeating the Heat is as simple and ordinary as eating and drinking water? But in this game, your team lost to the Wizards. Do you have nothing to say about this?"
Some reporters were unwilling to give up and took the initiative to attack.
Looking at the reporter, Wang Xiao was silent for two seconds, and then said, "That... have you ever had a stomachache?"
reporter:"……"
I'm talking to you about the problem of not eating a bad stomach?
Fortunately, Wang Xiao continued to add.
