The Heat and the Wizards' playoffs have lasted for three years, and this year is its fourth year.

The first playoff showdown between the two teams was when Wang Xiao first joined the Wizards in 2009-10. At that time, the Wizards were waiting to be lost, and the Heat only had Wade.

The two teams met in the first round of the playoffs, and the Wizards directly played against the Heat and swept the opponent home 4:0.

In the following 10-11 season, the Heat formed the three giants that shocked the entire league. The joining of James and Bosh made the Heat a favorite to win the championship.

However, in the playoffs, they met the Wizards again in the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Heat's three giants were not well-done and James performed poorly. The Wizards eliminated the Heat once again and successfully followed the playoffs.

Last season, the shrinking season of the 11-12 season, the two teams met again in the Eastern Conference Finals. At that time, the Wizards' lineup had George, Thompson and Leonard and other defensive strongmen, so even if Wade delegated power to stimulate James, the Heat still failed to defeat the Wizards and were eliminated by the Wizards for three consecutive years.

The Wizards who eliminated the Heat entered the playoffs and met the same young Trail Blazers, winning the final victory and winning the trophy.

A year later, the two teams met again in the Eastern Conference Finals, and compared to this season, both sides are undoubtedly stronger.

The Heat got players such as Ray Allen and Lewis, and they won 65 wins in the regular season and had a crazy performance of 27 consecutive victories.

On the Wizards, Thompson, Leonard and several players on the bench grew further, and they were invincible in the regular season. They directly won the highest team in the history of the team and the second second in the league in history, becoming the second team to win 70 wins in a single season after the Bulls.

In the eyes of most people, these two teams are almost equivalent to determining who the championship will eventually win. After all, compared with the two behemoths of the East, the teams in the Western Conference Finals are much inferior in strength.

When the Eastern Conference Finals showdown was released, the second round of the Western Conference was not over yet.

The match between the Spurs and the Thunder reached 3:2, and the Spurs held the match point, one step away from the Western Conference Finals.

In fact, the Spurs did not give the Thunder a chance in the Sixth World War. With their tough defense, Westbrook and Evans, two defenders who were not good at shooting, were unable to break into the inside smoothly. The Thunder's offense was naturally blocked. The Spurs successfully won the Sixth World War, rewrite the score to 4:2, and successfully advanced to the Western Conference Finals.

On the other hand, the Trail Blazers and the Clippers fought until 3:3.

If these two teams compare their strengths, the Trail Blazers will definitely have the upper hand. After all, the Trail Blazers have a combination of three giants, Durant + Aldridge + Jordan Jr., while Paul + Griffin is the only one on the Clippers.

However, with Paul's performance, the Clippers dragged the game into the tiebreak.

The current league's first point guard is under too much pressure.

Can you imagine that as the league's number one point guard, you have never even played in a Western Conference Final in your career?

Paul is facing such a dilemma now.

After 13 years, Paul in 1985 was almost 29 years old. At this time, he was at the peak of his career, and this peak period would pass in a few years.

So he fought very hard and almost tried his best.

At the same time, the defect of the Trail Blazers lacking strong point guards is also very obvious. Mike Miller is too old, and Louis Williams is also having an average performance due to injuries, which also gives Paul a lot of room to play.

However, Wang Xiao felt that the Trail Blazers were more likely to laugh to the end. After all, in the playoffs, Durant's lethality was incomparable to Paul.

As Wang Xiao expected, in the tiebreak battle, the Trail Blazers had the advantage in the home court. At the same time, Durant broke out, scoring 43 points in a single game, leading the Trail Blazers to win the tiebreak, successfully approaching the Western Conference Finals.

In this way, the Western Conference finals are a showdown between the Trail Blazers and the Spurs, just like last season.

No matter who can stand out from the West, it is difficult for either the Wizards or the Heat to stand out.

After all, the Trail Blazers, the No. 1 in the Western Conference in the regular season, only had 59 wins.

...

"We have to win this series! This is not a simple matter of strength. In recent years, we have lost in their hands, which is very frustrating. This year is our strongest season. We have won 27 consecutive victories in the regular season and 65 wins. These are exciting things. But if we still cannot defeat the Wizards in the playoffs, then I think these efforts are futile, so we must defeat them and win the championship trophy!"

This is what James said in an interview with a reporter. When he said these words, he seemed full of confidence. No one knew whether his confidence came from the heart or pretended.

But as he said, in the third year of the Big Three, if they still cannot surpass the Wizards, they will inevitably become the league's biggest laughing stock.

The near desperate situation makes the entire Heat team feel like they are taking a gamble. This series can only lose but not win!

Wang Xiao also encountered a reporter interview a few days before the game. When asked what he thought about James' pre-war declaration, he said this.

"I think the Heat should thank the Lakers."

Wang Xiao's words made the reporter who interviewed him confused.

What do the Heat thank the Lakers for? Do they have a half-dollar relationship?

But Wang Xiao continued to say: "The Lakers formed a Super F4 this season, which shocked the entire league. Almost everyone thought they had booked the championship, but the result was that the Lakers had a bad record. They barely entered the playoffs due to Kobe's hard work and were swept out in the first round."

"I heard that the conflict between Howard and Kobe has reached an irreconcilable point recently. Basically, after the end of this season, he will definitely leave Los Angeles. In this case, the Lakers' F4 combination will be directly broken up after only one season."

"With the Lakers' jade bead in front, it wouldn't be so embarrassing that the three Heat's Big Three were broken up by the Wizards, right? After all, the four Lakers' Big Four looked stronger than the three Heat's Big Three, but it lasted for a year, and the Heat really lasted for three years."

Wang Xiao talked a lot, and the reporters were stunned, but in the end he suddenly made a sharp turn and almost brought the reporters into the ditch!

The reporters who were stunned for a while before reacting were all so happy that they were crazy.

Wang Xiao is worthy of being Wang Xiao! He eats, sleeps and plays the Heat, and he will be excited whenever he encounters the Heat!

This year is even more exaggerated. Before the game, he had already said that he would break up the Heat and even bring the Lakers.

The Lakers were shot while lying down. This season was already a pain, but Wang Xiao was still treated as a negative teaching material. What does it mean to have the Lakers' super four giants in front of it? It wouldn't be so embarrassing if the Heat's three giants were broken up?
