In the first two quarters, the 55-5 start that the two teams had been maintaining was completely broken in the third quarter. The Wizards continued to maintain extremely high offensive efficiency in the third quarter, scoring 31 points, while the Cavaliers fell into an offensive drought, and only scored 19 points in the whole quarter!

James sat off the court with an extremely ugly face.

"Damn it, how could it turn out like this again?"

This rhythm is very familiar to him. In the past few years with the Heat, whenever he played against the Wizards, the situation would have evolved into what it is now in most cases.

The strength of the starting lineup alone is not inferior to the Wizards, neither the Heat nor the Cavaliers are inferior to the Wizards, but the depth of the bench in the Wizards' championship league is something that no team in the league can achieve.

Facing the Wizards' equally strong starting lineup, the huge gap in the bench often puts the team at a disadvantage, which is undoubtedly the most desperate thing.

The Wizards' tactical system is not complicated, it is just the fast-paced small ball tactics and frequent pick-and-roll passes and cuts. To put it bluntly, the reason why the Wizards can have current results depends entirely on the players' personal abilities.

The Wizards always have endless excellent players, what can I do?

...

Relying on the score advantage established by the substitute lineup, Curry and others immediately took the initiative on the field after they made their debut.

James also returned to the battlefield, and with his explosive combat power, he led the Cavaliers to chase the score little by little.

However, whenever the scores of the two teams are close, there will always be someone in the Wizards who will jump out.

"Curry! Three-pointer!"

"Thompson! Beautiful cut!"

"Leonard succeeded in singles against James!"

...

The score has remained floating around 10 points until the end of the game.

When the whistle to the end of the game sounded, the Wizards' home court was filled with excited cheers.

117:109, the Wizards beat the Cavaliers 6 points at home.

The team did not disappoint the home fans. The victory over the strong rival Cavaliers in the first game was undoubtedly a reassurance for the Wizards fans.

James' shooting percentage was only about 44% in this game, and he made as many as 6 mistakes.

But even so, he still contributed 34 points, 8 rebounds, 11 assists in the whole game, and his performance was amazing.

However, in addition to James, the only point guard Kyrie Irving performed well in the Cavaliers.

Irving made 8 of 15 shots in the game, and scored a total of 22 points and 5 assists with free throws.

The other two giants among the Cavaliers' Big Four, Dwight Howard only had 14 points and 9 rebounds in the game, while Love had only 11 points and 5 rebounds.

Such performance is obviously not enough to be called a giant, but it is an inevitable result in the Cavaliers.

Although James and Irving both have long shots, they are undoubtedly both players who are good at breaking through.

Since they are good at breaking through, there should not be too many people in the inside line when breaking through, otherwise it will block their breakthrough route.

Love basically acts as an outside turret throughout the game, and there are very few opportunities to catch the ball, so it is strange that the data is good.

Howard got a lot of opportunities throughout the game, but Howard really no longer had the explosive power and physical strength he had when he was young. Facing Gobert's defense, his offensive efficiency was very low, or it was difficult to find an opportunity to take an easy shot under Gobert's defense.

...

Needless to think, after the game, Howard and Love became the targets of criticism from the Cavaliers fans.

There is no harm without comparison.

Compared to the Wizards who perform well in every player, the only two people who can blame the Cavaliers for losing.

You can't blame James, who scored 30 points + a quasi-triple double-double. Of course, Irving, who contributed 20+5, cannot take the blame.

After the game, both Howard and Love apologized for their poor performance and promised to recall their form as soon as possible in the next game to help the team win the series.

But obviously, such commitments are not significant.

Howard and Love's poor performance is not entirely due to their personal problems, and most importantly, the key to the Wizards' winning is the huge gap in the substitute lineup, rather than the poor performance of one or two players of the Cavaliers.

...

The second match between the two sides started on May 20. Unlike the previous game, the Wizards had the advantage throughout the game and maintained the advantage from the first quarter until the moment the whistle sounded at the end of the game.

113:88, the Wizards lost completely in this game and lost a full 25 points.

The Wizards won two consecutive games, and the score of the series also became 2:0.

Such a score was not beyond the expectations of most people in the league, but many people still did not expect the process to be so easy.

The violent collision in imagination did not happen. The Cavaliers are indeed not the opponent of the Wizards. Even the Big Four are still in the gap with the 73-win team.

What scares most teams in the league even more is that this Wizards is not at its strongest stage, and there is also an All-Star player Paul George who can only watch the game off the court.

Without Paul, the Cavaliers are not the Wizards' opponent, let alone Paul returns from injury?

After two games, many people basically think that the Wizards' three consecutive championships are no longer suspense.

The Wizards, which won three consecutive championships and 73 wins, may create more terrifying records in the future, such as six consecutive championships and eight consecutive championships... After all, their lineup is too young. As long as most of the main players can be retained, there will be few opponents in the league.

...

After two home games, Wang Xiao and the Wizards will rush to Cleveland to play away.

Before that, he took the time to travel to New York with the Wizards management to participate in the draw ceremony of the 2014 draft.

In the past, Wang Xiao was too lazy to participate in activities like the lottery ceremony. Anyway, the Wizards had the first record in the league every year, so the lottery had basically nothing to do with them.

But this year is a little different.

Not long ago, the Milwaukee Bucks officially completed the equity transfer. The former Bucks boss Herb Cole sold the Bucks to Wesley Aidens and Mark Leslie for $550 million, of which Wesley Aidens accounted for most of the equity and became the Bucks' big boss.
Chapter completed!
