Wang Xiao still trusts Jordan's free throw ability very much.

Even compared with Durant's offensive efficiency defended by Leonard, Jordan's free throws are worse...

Of course, when the team has an absolute lead, Wang Xiao will not use the shark-cutting tactic, which will make the game long and boring.

The first quarter game was the scoring battle between Curry + Thompson and Durant.

Durant was completely at a disadvantage by fighting two.

In fact, he is more like fighting against three, after all, he still has to bother him like dealing with the candy.

As for the other side, Aldridge and George are at most in a situation of mutual explosion. George has no particularly good way to Aldridge, who is 2.11 meters tall and good at shooting at mid- and long distances. Correspondingly, Aldridge is difficult to keep up with George's speed.

In this way, in the first quarter, relying on the performance of the Splash Brothers, the Wizards maintained their advantage. After Green took the field to replace Jordan Jr., the Wizards' speed increased further and their firepower became more and more fierce.

Whiteside's departure allowed Jordan Jr.'s rebounding ability to be liberated to a certain extent. He grabbed offensive rebounds several times to form a second offensive opportunity.

However, whenever such a situation occurs, the Wizards will foul the foul without hesitation and send Jordan Jr. to the free throw line. In most cases, such a result is only 1 of 2 shots, and even 0 of 2 shots.

By the second quarter, the Trail Blazers could no longer suppress the Wizards' offensive firepower and began to collapse on the whole line.

The score difference expands from single digits to double digits, and then expands to more than 20 points...

Durant once again felt the powerlessness of James, Jeremy Lin and others.

No matter how hard he scores, his opponent's scoring efficiency is higher than that of him, and no matter how he looks at it, the opponent's scoring is much easier than himself.

The gap between the two teams is too big!

Durant scored 12 points in the first quarter, scored 6 points in the second quarter, scored 9 points in the third quarter, scored 10 points in the last quarter, and contributed 37 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists in the whole game.

But the Trail Blazers lost the game with a score of 116:99.

Fans at the Wizards' home court are already accustomed to such a result, but even so, they still give the warmest applause and cheers when facing the victory of this game.

Every victory in the finals means they take a step forward in the direction of the championship.

A few years ago, they didn't even dare to think about such a scene, but now they can watch the team get closer to the championship trophy step by step at home. For this group of fans who love the Wizards, nothing is more happy than this.

"Defend! Defend! Defend!"

On the stadium, cheers of defending the title gradually sounded, from sporadic sounds to the back, and the sound filled the entire player.

The fans who came to Washington to support the Trail Blazers from afar were not very good-looking.

On the one hand, it is because of the cheers of the Wizards' home fans, and on the other hand, it is because even they have a vague feeling in their hearts... I'm afraid the Trail Blazers will not win this series.

Just like the series between the Wizards and the Heat, the level gap between the two sides is so big that there is no surprise in the entire series.

In the current situation, it is probably not until the Wizards are suddenly injured, such as Curry and George, the Trail Blazers will have a little chance, but the possibility is too low.

Wang Xiao's caution has reached an outrageous level. A group of young players of the Wizards have received many opportunities to take off during the regular season, especially Curry. In 82 regular season games, he rested for a full 18 games, played only 64 games, and averaged only about 32 minutes per game.

For comparison, the Heat core LeBron James played 76 games in the regular season this season, averaging 38 minutes per game.

Trail Blazers core Kevin Durant played 81 games, averaging 38.5 minutes per game.

Lakers core Kobe Bryant played 78 games, averaging 38.7 minutes per game.

Compared to these players, the 24-year-old Curry plays like a health veteran.

In the game, Curry is also the Wizards' starter with the least number of attacks to the basket except center Whiteside.

Curry's finishing ability at the basket is actually very strong, and he is second to none among point guards, and he doesn't give in even compared with the center.

However, the Glass Man system made Wang Xiao not assured to use Curry's killing skill in large quantities. After all, hitting the basket often means physical contact, and the possibility of injury is greater.

No matter how sharp other offensive methods are, Curry's strongest and most shocking weapon is his three-pointer.

As for the task of hitting the basket, it is more than enough to hand it over to George, Leonard and others. What they are best at playing as small forwards is hitting the basket and ending at the basket.

Under Wang Xiao's almost meticulous protection, unless his luck is really at its peak, it will be difficult for Curry to have injuries that are so serious that he cannot play.

In the second game, Curry made 11 of 23 shots and scored 31 points, leading the Wizards to another goal at home, in excellent condition.

At this point, the total score has reached 2:0.

Next, the game will be at the Rose Garden Arena in Portland, the home court of the Trail Blazers, but the predictions of the next game by major sports media are almost all the Wizards swept the Trail Blazers 4:0 to win the championship.

As of now this season's playoffs, the Wizards have not lost even a game. From the first round, the second round, the Eastern Conference Finals, and then to the finals, it is a completely crushing trend.

Although the Trail Blazers have the ability to score, Durant, who is the best in the league, has no resistance when facing such a kingly army.

...

In the third game after returning to Portland, the Wizards Curry and Thompson both failed to play, one made 7 of 18 shots and the other made 8 of 20 shots, but the Wizards still won the game away because Durant also missed it.

Facing Leonard's defense, Durant finally revealed his flaws. He only made 10 goals with 25 shots in the game. Although he still scored 24 points with free throws, such scoring and efficiency are far from enough to lead the Trail Blazers to win the game.

The total score reached 3:0, which also means that the Trail Blazers basically have no chance to turn the tables.

In the fourth game, Durant rebounded from the bottom and felt hot. He made 16 of 20 shots, scored 47 points, 13 rebounds and 6 assists, completely defeating Leonard, who successfully restricted his last game.
