Throughout March, the Heat continued to win streaks, 10 in a row, 15 in a row, and 20 in the midst of everyone's astonishment......

Soon, they broke Da Yao's 22-game winning streak and continued to move towards the Lakers' 33-game winning streak.

On the other hand, after the Wizards entered March, they also started a winning streak.

The opponents the Wizards encountered in April were so weak that although the Wizards frequently rested their starters, they still maintained an amazing winning rate, and unknowingly broke through a 10-game winning streak.

Never before in the history of the league has two teams in the same half of the league had such a long winning streak at the same time.

People are curious to see if the Heat can break the Lakers' 33-game winning streak, and they are also very curious if the Wizards' winning streak can catch up with the Heat.

However, that curiosity didn't last long, as the Wizards lost first and set their winning streak at 13.

This time the Wizards lost not because they rotated their main players, but because their opponents felt too good.

As the saying goes, who doesn't eat dumplings during the New Year?

Although the Wizards have the strongest and perfect lineup in the entire league, when a team is full of hands, how to shoot, how to shoot, it becomes a matter of course.

After the loss, the Wizards' winning streak came to an abrupt end, while the Heat's winning streak continued.

23 in a row, 24 in a row, 25 in a row......

It wasn't until the end of March against the Bulls that the Heat finally lost 101-97, putting their winning streak at 27 in a row.

The abrupt end to the winning streak was a shame for Heat fans, who missed out on the chance to break the all-time longest winning streak and were just six games away from that streak.

But at the same time, the good form and chemistry shown by the whole team of the Heat team made them more and more excited about the performance of the Heat team in the playoffs, and even many fans began to shout the slogan of revenge against the Wizards.

They have a reason and should shout so.

In the entire East, the only team that can press on the Heat is the Wizards.

The Celtics' Big Three are struggling and are only eighth in the East this season.

Although Anthony and Delon can still maintain a good level of competition among the Knicks' Big Three, Stoudemire, the small bully, is plagued by injuries, and his attendance rate is less than 30%, and his state has also declined seriously, averaging only 14.2 points and 5 rebounds per game.

With only two of the Big Three left, it is by no means a match for the Heat.

As for the other teams, the Bulls' Rose is reimbursed for the season, the Nets' Jeremy Lin is difficult to support, and the Hawks and Pacers will not be taken into account by the Heat, so the Heat's biggest and only enemy in the East is the Washington Wizards who have eliminated them in the playoffs for three consecutive years.

There is one more matchup between the two teams before the end of the regular season, and the outcome of this game will directly determine the confidence of the two teams when they face off in the playoffs, and neither the Heat nor the Wizards want to lose it.

……

March passed, and at the beginning of April, the regular season ushered in the final sprint, and the Wizards finally welcomed the Miami Heat at home after a 27-game winning streak.

"Coach Wang Xiao, since the Heat's 27-game winning streak, up to now, the Heat have only lost 2 games, their state is just like the name of the team, very hot, do you and the Wizards have any confidence in defeating this hot Heat team?"

Before the game, a reporter stopped Wang Xiao and asked such a question.

In this regard, Wang Xiao said with a smile: "Did you go to work on your first day?" This question needs to be asked as well? ”

In front of the media, Wang Xiao still maintains his usual arrogant attitude towards the Heat team, but in the locker room, Wang Xiao attaches great importance to admonishing every player.

"The opponent is a strong team with 27 consecutive wins, which is a record that we have never done, so in the next games, we must not underestimate the opponent, we must give our all, and the victory in this game is very important for us." Wang Xiao looked around at each player.

"If we can sweep them in the regular season, we can sweep them in the playoffs as well!"

……

At the beginning of the game, the starting lineup of the Heat side was as elite as possible, and it was the strongest starting lineup during the 27-game winning streak.

Point guard Chalmers, point guard Wade, small forward James, power forward Haslem, center Bosh, and on the bench sat Ray. Aaron, Battier & Rassad. Lewis et al.

The same is true for the Wizards, who have a full-fledged roster of Curry, Thompson, Leonard, George and Whiteside.

Whiteside, who had the advantage in height and bounce, easily jumped to beat Bosh and gave the basketball to Curry, who held the ball past half court and immediately transferred the ball to George.

George is opposite Haslem, as a defensive giant, Haslem's defensive ability is quite good, but what he is good at is supplemental defense and hard resistance to the strength of the inside, and a single defense George is a little powerless to play a big forward and a small forward.

Relying on the advantage of speed, George singled Haslem with great ease, and made 3 of 3 shots in the opening game to quickly give the Wizards the lead.

On the Heat side, head coach Spoelstra reacted quickly and immediately replaced Haslem with Sean. Battier keeps an eye on George.

George is extremely efficient in playing Haslem alone, but after playing against Battier, there is no way to maintain a high offensive efficiency, after all, the opponent is a rare defensive master in the league, with a very high IQ, and covering his eyes with one hand to defend is a headache for Kobe James and others.

George's strength this season has obviously improved a notch, but it has not reached the level of the peak in the future, and even if George is at his peak, he relies on balanced offensive and defensive ability, rather than strong offensive skills.

However, while George's side was slightly out of the flame, James was also secretly frightened on the Heat's side.

"This rookie has actually become stronger again?!!!"

It's only been just over two months since the last time we last played Leonard in late January, and it's now early April.

However, in just over these two months, Leonard's strength has actually improved significantly!

In the two short encounters just now, James found that Leonard's defense has become more sophisticated, and the previously tried and tested skills have completely no effect, this kid is as impregnable as a copper wall, and the only way James can think of to deal with him in a short period of time is to rely on physical fitness to force him to the basket!

His eyes were fixed on the expressionless Leonard, and James felt a deep fear in his heart.

It's not because of Leonard's strength that I'm afraid, but because of Wang Xiao's terrifying eyes and the speed of cultivating team members!

First George, then Leonard, he almost witnessed these players who had played against him grow at an astonishing rate and become the top players in the league!
