As if to confirm what Wang Xiao said, the second game of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Wizards and the Cavaliers was won again by the Wizards, and compared to the previous game, this victory was easier and more satisfying.

Thompson felt hot in this game. He hit 9 goals in only 11 shots, including 4 three-pointers. Plus free throws, he scored 26 points. Because he did not take the shot at all, Curry,

The number of shots taken by George and Leonard did not decrease at all, and they also scored 25 points, 18 points and 22 points respectively.

Under such circumstances, the Cavaliers were defeated and fell behind by more than 20 points in just three quarters. In the end, they surrendered within a few minutes of the fourth quarter and replaced all their main players.

As he sat off the court waiting for the game to end, James' face was full of confusion.

He didn't understand at all what kind of luck he had. He met the three guys from the Celtics' Big Three in the early stages of his career. He had no choice but to make the decision to go to Miami to find his brothers, but he never thought about losing to the Mavericks in his first season.

, and in the following seasons, it was even more tragic that they encountered the Super Wizards, a team that can be ranked among the strongest teams in history.

For several years in a row, James has been defeated by the Wizards every time, from the Heat to the Cavaliers. Now even with the luxurious lineup of the Big Four, even if Wang Xiao is no longer coaching the Wizards, he still can't win!

Although a 2:0 score is far from over for a series, the gap between the Wizards and the Cavaliers in the first two games has made everyone lose their expectations and sense of suspense in this series.

The level of the two teams is too far apart. Compared with the Wizards who made the best use of everything, the Cavaliers looked like they simply put a few stars together without a suitable set of tactics and no interaction with each other.

A tacit cooperation that complements each other.

After the game, the media trend was almost entirely in favor of the Wizards. At the same time, various comments about the Cavaliers also followed.

"LeBron James should reflect on whether there is a problem with his playing style. Why does every star's data and status decline to a certain extent after coming to his side? James is the ball carrier and the initiator of the offense.

Are the tactics really scientific?"

"The Cavaliers' management should also think carefully, what exactly do they need? Is it stars one after another with high-paying contracts but cannot play their due value, or is it an excellent coach who can bring out the characteristics of his players?

?”

"The Cavaliers are finished. Their salary space determines that even next season the team will not be able to make any reinforcements, unless they choose to trade one or two of the Big Four. However, based on the performance of Howard and Love this season

, their transaction value will also be greatly reduced in the summer."

…

Some people have already begun to make suggestions for the Cavaliers next season. This proves that no one is still optimistic that the Cavaliers can overcome the Wizards. Even if they return to their home court, the Cavaliers will have no hope of a comeback.

This is also true.

The Wizards, who were playing away in Cleveland, did not behave abnormally at all. In the first half of the game, they were completely suppressing the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers were completely unable to hold their heads up with their crazy onslaught.

According to the situation on the court, the Wizards are very likely to win the match point on the road and bring the total score of the series to 3:0.

However, no one thought that the accident really happened.

In the third quarter of the game, during a counterattack after another successful defense, Curry broke through with the ball. When he rushed to the basket and was about to take off for a layup, he suddenly fell to the ground, clutching his ankle in pain.

When he saw this scene, Wang Xiao's heart skipped a beat and secretly screamed, "Oh no!"

Because Cleveland was too far away, Wang Xiao did not go to watch the game, but only watched the game live on TV.

But even so, through slow-motion replay, he still saw the scene where Curry accidentally twisted his foot before a layup.

The ankle is the hardest hit area for Curry. In another world, Curry suffered from ankle sprains in the early stages of his career, and even at the peak of his career, he still suffered from minor injuries every season.

In this world, due to Wang Xiao's suggestion, Curry had surgery in advance, and the ankle problem was greatly solved. Moreover, Wang Xiao has always been very cautious about the use of Curry, strictly controlling the playing time, and every

There will be at least 10 games of rest during the season.

However, injuries and illnesses can only be prevented as much as possible, but it cannot be said to completely prevent their occurrence.

I just didn’t expect that Curry would be injured during a critical period like the Eastern Conference finals of the playoffs!

Although it is not yet known the extent of Curry's injury, it clearly seems that this game will definitely not be able to continue.

With the support of the team doctor, Curry limped toward the players' tunnel, while the Cleveland fans who were already a little desperate on the sidelines were stunned for a moment.

If the opponent's captain is injured and cannot continue the game, wouldn't there be a chance?

That's Stephen Curry! Double MVP of the regular season finals, a top star who is ranked in history!

Although the Wizards' game does not rely on Curry alone, Curry is no less important to this team than James of the Cavaliers. More than 70% of the Wizards' tactics revolve around Curry's three-pointer.

It is carried out based on the power of deterrence!

The Cavaliers were obviously aware of this, and immediately called a timeout and began to deploy targeted tactics.

On the other side, Wizards coach Kerr frowned slightly.

Without Curry, the impact on the Wizards is really quite big. When Thompson is the only stable three-point shooter left on the court, it is difficult for the Wizards to use outside shooters to create enough space to organize offense.

Although George Leonard also has a certain three-point ability, it is only at an ordinary level and is not enough to deter opponents.

Cole's heart sank, but on the surface he remained calm and comforted the Wizards players.

"Guys, nothing will happen to Stephen. He will definitely be back in the next game. I hope that when he comes on the field in the next game, we will get the match point at 3:0!"

…

Although he said encouraging words several times, it was obvious that Cole had little effect.

The Wizards players returned to the court after the timeout, their concentration significantly reduced.

Obviously they are still concerned about Curry's injury and are worried that Curry will miss subsequent games due to injury.

At the same time, after Curry was absent, the problem of reduced deterrence from beyond the three-point line also immediately emerged.

Seizing the opportunity when the Wizards players were distracted, the Cavaliers took the opportunity to launch a wave of attacks, instantly turning the situation around and leading the score.

Cole had to continue to call timeouts to stabilize the situation, but there was still no improvement.
Chapter completed!
