Chapter 354 Against the Spurs in the Finals!

The regular season MVP for the 2013-2014 season was finally awarded to Curry.

This is Curry's third regular season MVP trophy in his career, and it also allows Curry to tie Magic Johnson in the personal honor of regular season MVP, and tie for the best point guard!

Next, Curry is likely to win the third MVP trophy in his career, further elevating his historical position to a higher level.

...

The best defensive player was given to Wang Xiao’s disciple Dunn at Harvard. Dunn, who used the Mutombo growth template card, has become a powerful defensive player. His super blocking ability, fast pace and not weak power have made Dunn show his strong defensive ability in this era when the inside strength is generally not strong.

The best sixth man, Jamal Crawford, is still the same sixth man, and no one can match his scoring ability on the bench.

However, Crawford's best sixth man was elected somewhat controversial.

Many people believe that the Wizards' substitute players are fully capable of competing with them for the award of the Best Sixth Man.

Although Isaiah Thomas is only 1.75 meters, his ability to break through the ball is quite amazing, and his scoring ability is no less than Crawford.

Jimmy Butler is a balanced offense and defense, and is like another copy of George Leonard. His contribution in the game is much better than Crawford, who only knows how to attack the offense and defense end completely black holes.

But unfortunately, the Wizards' substitute lineup is so luxurious that these talented players can only exert some of their strength in a limited time, and their data is also affected.

The most important thing is that the awardee is the best sixth person.

The question about who is the sixth man in the team is not particularly easy to define...

...

The best sixth person is just a small award, and there is nothing wrong with controversy.

At least the two awards of regular season MVP and best defensive player are not very controversial.

One is the core point guard who led the team to win 73 wins, and the other is the blockbuster who has blocked all over the league. The award is well deserved.

...

With all the awards of the season announced, the finals of the NBA 2013-2014 season will also come.

On June 5, the first finals game officially kicked off at the Wizards' home court!

The Wizards' starting lineup is a five-man starting lineup that has remained unchanged for thousands of years after George was injured.

Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Kawhi Leonard, Drummond Green, Rudy Gobert.

On the Spurs' starting lineup is Tony Parker, Marco Belinelli, Burris Dior, Chris Bosh, and Tim Duncan.

Due to Wang Xiao, the Spurs failed to get Green and failed to choose Leonard, but unexpectedly introduced Chris Bosh, which was also a slight stop loss.

Judging from the strength of the lineup alone, the Spurs are absolutely unable to compete with the Wizards, but Wang Xiao is quite familiar with the ability of the old man Popovich, and he is sure that the other party will never wait to die.

...

At the beginning of the game, the Wizards played very well.

This is the fourth time that many people in the team have played in the finals. Although they are not very old, their experience in the finals is richer than that of many veterans over 30 years old.

Even the Spurs opposite, in terms of experience in the finals, is only half a pound of the Wizards.

Due to the butterfly effect of Wang Xiao, the Spurs failed to reach the finals last season, so as of now, even Ginobili has only had three final experience after putting aside Duncan.

So compared to experience, the young Wizards are not worthy of the Spurs at all.

In terms of lineup, age and even strength, the Wizards have an absolute advantage.

So it's natural that the Wizards took advantage of their speed to take the lead in the first quarter.

Although the Spurs were at a disadvantage, they have been relying on the cooperation between Duncan and Bosh in the interior.

Although Gobert and Green both have excellent defensive abilities, they are still a bit difficult to face an experienced old man like Duncan, especially Duncan's signature skill, 45-degree angle-width shooting, which has a very high shooting percentage and is difficult to defend.

After trying several times, Gobert had to choose to try his best to keep him away from the basket and could not receive the ball comfortably.

Bosh is exactly the target that Green hates defense. He has the ability to shoot mid- and long-distance, is tall, and can be inside and outside. Such a player will make Green feel like he doesn't know where to use it.

With the two inside players, the Spurs have always stabilized the score difference within double digits.

In the first quarter, the score between the two teams was 31:24.

In the second quarter, the score became 63:55.

Even in the third quarter where the Wizards usually have the best advantage in the game, the score difference is only wider than 10 points.

The Spurs have always been the team with the highest score in the substitute lineup except the Wizards. Under the leadership of Ginobili, the strength of the Spurs substitute lineup can be completely entangled with the Wizards.

When the game reached the fourth quarter, the Spurs suddenly exerted their strength and scored an 8:0 wave, tying the gap, forcing Wang Xiao to call out a timeout.

Fortunately, after the timeout, Curry stood up and regained the advantage with two three-pointers, and maintained the advantage until the end of the game.

101:93, the Wizards won the first game of the finals with 8 points at home.

After the game, Wang Xiao carefully recalled the process of the game and watched the game video specifically, feeling a little confused.

The Spurs played very well throughout the game, and Wang Xiao could hardly find any problems, and the loss was entirely because of Curry's superstar.

But Wang Xiao always feels that the game with the Spurs should not be like this. Popovich should make corresponding tactical adjustments to the Wizards' system.

"Can we say that guy is hiding his weakness, losing a game first, let us take it lightly and then suddenly attack?"

...

However, in the second game, the Wizards won again, and it was easier than the first game.

Klay Thompson suddenly broke out, scoring 31 points in the first half, scoring 44 points in the whole game, almost defeating the Spurs with one's own strength, and no one in the Spurs could limit Thompson's performance.

After winning both home games, the Wizards rushed to the home court of the San Antonio Spurs to play away.

Wang Xiao originally thought it would be a difficult away game, but the Wizards won again in the third game.

When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Wang Xiao looked at the white-haired, expressionless old man opposite the stadium, and he suddenly realized that he might be thinking too much.

No matter how strong Popovich is, he is just a head coach after all, that's all.

Even if there is no other time and space where Wang Xiao makes trouble, he has only led the Spurs to win five championships.
