Chapter 303: East Showdown vs. Heat

On the same day, as soon as Wang Xiao's interview was announced, it once again caused an uproar.

The media is very sensible, and Wang Xiao's original words were published almost word for word.

Arrogant, too arrogant.

Not only Heat fans, but also Lakers fans are indignant.

If you spray the Heat, you will spray the Heat, and what are we Lakers doing? Did the Lakers mess with you when they came to you?

Heat fans are even more angry, after all, Wang Xiao is saying in front of everyone that the Heat will be broken up by him.

"Don't be arrogant! We'll see, we'll beat you this time and shut up that stinky mouth! ”

The head coach of his own team was sprayed, and the fans of the Wizards certainly won't ignore it.

"Is what Wang Xiao said wrong? When the Heat is killed by us again this year, what is the need for the Big Three to exist? Do you really think that the Heat, who have been eliminated by us for three consecutive years, can win? No kidding! ”

Amid a chaotic outcry, the Eastern Conference Finals kicked off on May 22 at the Washington Wizards' home court.

The starting lineup of the Wizards is point guard Curry, point guard Thompson, small forward Leonard, power forward George, and center Whiteside.

On the other side, the Heat's starting lineup is point guard Chalmers, scoring guard Wade, small forward James, power forward Battier, and center Bosh.

In order to target George at the Wizards' power forward position, the Heat replaced Haslem, the usual starting interior lineman, and let the more flexible Battier start.

Obviously, after being swept again in the regular season, Spoelstra still seriously thought about how to deal with the Wizards.

However, this is only a palliative treatment, because the Wizards' strongest firepower is at the guard, not the front!

Players from both sides jumped the ball in the middle circle, and Whiteside beat Bosh as easily as ever.

After Curry held the ball past half court, he reached out and made a gesture to call for execution.

Thompson, who was already standing at the bottom three-point line on the left side, immediately took action, slipped around the baseline, and then came out of the other side and ran straight to the 45-degree angle outside the three-point line next to Curry.

As soon as Thompson was in place, Curry's ball was immediately sent over.

The Saint Seiya won't lose twice with the same move, but the Heat can.

Thompson's catch-and-shoot after running without the ball is the Wizards' most common and favorite tactic against the Heat, and this tactic is played by the Heat's weak defense.

No matter how sharp Wade's defense is, it can only defend one of Curry and Thompson, while the other guard of the Heat, Chalmers, can attack whoever is defended.

Although this style of play is very good, it is undoubtedly the most efficient method of offense, after all, compared to Curry opposite Wade, Leonard opposite James, and George opposite Battier, Thompson is obviously the easiest to attack in the face of Chalmers.

In the previous encounters, this has happened countless times, Chalmers knows very well what Thompson wants to do, and he is very active in the pursuit, but when he rushes in front of Thompson, the latter has already received the basketball and jumped.

When Thompson, who is 2.01 meters tall, has already jumped, Chalmers, who is only 1.88 meters tall, no matter how high he jumps, no matter how hard he wields his hand, it will be too late.

"Brush!"

The basketball went into the net crisply, and as soon as Thompson opened the game, he became a three-pointer for the Wizards!

3:0。

James Wade and the others frowned slightly, but there was nothing they could do.

It's a lineup flaw, and Spoelstra also had a chance to play the regular season with Ray Ray. Allen mentioned the attempt to start to defend Thompson, although the defensive effect at the time was not bad, but the result of that was when the main players of the two teams came off the bench and came on the bench, there was no Ray. Allen's firepower from the bench made the game collapse faster.

After many attempts and careful consideration, even if the defense is leaky, the Heat can only put Chalmers on the court and carry it hard, at least although he will be grabbed and attacked by the Wizards, but James and others are also on the court, at least they will not make the situation too passive.

……

Switching offense and defense, Chalmers dribbled across the half court, and then skillfully handed the ball to James, who ran to the baseline to pull the space.

James dribbled slowly, his eyes fixed on Leonard in front of him.

Now, he doesn't have any contempt for the sophomore rookie.

"Come on, in front of me, you don't want to get a point easily!"

Leonard's sudden voice made James slightly stunned and a little surprised.

In the previous encounters, he had never heard Leonard speak up, and this slightly silent rookie was a rookie with his predecessor, Paul. George is very different in personality.

He didn't know that Caron, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, was sitting on the sidelines. Butler had a satisfied look on his face when he saw Leonard speak.

"That's it, Kehuai, you stinky boy is finally enlightened! Defending LeBron can't just rely on his physical actions, but also use his mouth, and use words to make him feel agitated and impatient, so that you can help him limit his scoring more advantageously. ”

Because of the injury season reimbursement, Caron. Butler missed most of the season, including the playoffs, and was also unable to play and train, but he was too bored to be with the team, so he focused on coaching the rookies on the team.

The Wizards' forward lineup is extravagant, George, Leonard, Green, Jimmy. Butler, Chandler. Parsons, if you put it bluntly, Thompson, who is 2.01 meters tall, can also be qualified for the small forward position.

On talent, on peak strength or future achievement, Caron. Butler may not be as good as most of them, after all, Cuaron had no more honors than a two-time All-Star bench when he retired.

Among the Wizards' rookies, there are All-Star starters, All-Star Team, All-Defensive Team regulars, and All-Defensive Player, FMVP.

Even if you have to compare, the small forward position is Chandler. Parsons' personal accolades are inferior to those of Caron Butler.

But even so, Caron. Butler also has a lot to teach these heroes.

For example, he has stressed more than once that Leonard should not be silent when defending, and that the power of words can sometimes be stronger than the body.

The Spurs' version of Leonard is alive and well off a small stone Buddha, taciturn but rock-solid when defending, but people are changed by the environment, things and people around them.

Different environments, different circumstances will make a person grow up completely different.

……

"Just because of you, you want to stare me to death?"

In the face of Leonard's provocation, James was stunned for a while, then sneered, his movements were slight, and the next moment he moved violently like a volcanic eruption!
