It's easy to say, but it's not easy to do.

Without Curry, it can be said that it will be difficult for the current Wizards team to defeat a fully healthy Magic team.

But Wang Xiao still wanted to give it a go.

At present, the progress of the system upgrade in version 3.0 has reached 80%, and as long as you can win a game, the system will be upgraded.

Wang Xiao bets that after the system version 3.0 is upgraded, there will be something that can quickly improve the strength of the current Wizards team.

The most important premise of this is to win a game.

The next two games will be played at the home of the Magic team, and Wang Xiao's side is playing away, and how to win the next game is the most critical issue.

First of all, there is no doubt that the team needs to change the lineup, without Curry's help to pull the space, the three-point ability of other players alone cannot play a deterrent role, and the small-ball tactics used on weekdays are no longer lethal.

In fact, in the second game, because there was no Curry, Wang Xiao had already adjusted the starting lineup of the Wizards.

Beverley started to replace Curry, and Harden also moved from the bench to the starting lineup. Green went off the bench.

This adjustment is to make up for the lack of an offensive starting point for the Wizards after Curry is away.

Danny. Although Green has excellent long-range shooting ability and strong defense, he is not very good at attacking with the ball.

But the results of such a change of formation are not ideal.

No matter how the outside line adjusts, Howard's threat on the inside line has never been able to deal with it.

In the third game, if you want to win, you have to make more adjustments.

……

The third game between the Wizards and the Magic was played on May 8, 2010 at the home of the Orlando Magic.

With a 2-0 lead in the past, the Magic were relaxed when they came out.

But when the starting lineups for both sides were announced, Van Gundy's brow furrowed.

The Magic's starters, as always, are still point guard Nelson, point guard Carter, small forward Barnes, power forward Lewis, center Howard, and a standard one-star lineup.

However, the Wizards' lineup is completely different from the previous two games.

At the point guard position, it was James Brown. Harden's name.

Scoring guard Butler, small forward Jamison, power forward Jordan Jr., center Haywood.

"What does this Wang Xiao want to do?"

Van Gundy was a little baffled by Wang Xiao's lineup.

"He's not trying to use his height to protect the rebound, is he?"

In this set of lineups, the lowest height is 1.96 meters Harden, and all other positions are more than 2 meters tall, Butler 2.01 meters, Jamison 2.06 meters, Jordan Jr. 2.11 meters, Haywood 2.13 meters.

The height of such a lineup is quite impressive, but other than that, there seems to be nothing else to praise.

Jordan Jr. and Haywood, the two defensive interior lines, are not bad at grabbing rebounds in the card position, but the offense is completely miserable.

The inner line is so big in total, and the two inner lines are put together, overlapping positions, and you don't even need to pay attention to it at all.

"It seems that the core of the team is injured, this kid is dizzy, and he actually sent such a lineup."

Shaking his head, Van Gundy couldn't help but smile.

……

Players from both sides take the field and the game officially begins.

Howard jumped the ball to beat Haywood, the basketball was picked up by Nelson, and he faced Harden.

Nelson is one of the more power-dependent point guards, he is only 1.83 meters tall and weighs 91 kilograms, which is an advantage against most point guards, but Harden is clearly not among them.

Harden, who is still a first-year rookie, has not yet reached the stage where he later weighed 100 kilograms, but even so, Harden weighs more than Nelson.

Compared with Harden, Nelson does not have an advantage in terms of height, weight or speed, so even if Harden's defense can only be regarded as average, he can cope with it very easily in the face of Nelson.

Unable to get past Harden by heads-up, Nelson could only call for pick-and-roll assistance from the outside, relying on the pick-and-roll to rush inside.

But when he entered the inner line, he looked at the inner line that was almost crowded together, and he was a little stunned.

Howard, Haywood, Jordan Jr., three muscle sticks to the inside, like three mountains.

Just one glance, Nelson didn't hesitate to follow the bottom line to the outside.

In this game, Wang Xiao's task for Jordan Jr. and Haywood is very simple, keep an eye on Howard, whether it is on the offensive end or the defensive end!

Howard's offensive ability is actually not particularly strong, this big man's talent is amazing, few inside lines can match, but the learning ability is not very good, after studying with Olajuwon for so long, he still can't learn the steps of the inside line, and the offense can only rely on his back to resist a move.

What really scares him is his defensive ability and rebounding ability due to his amazing physical attributes.

In the series with the Magic, the Wizards have always been at a disadvantage in rebounding, especially offensive rebounding, whether it is Haywood, Jordan Jr. or McGee, who is even worse tonnage, it is difficult to get stuck in the opponent's position when facing Howard, and he will always take away the rebound.

The reason why Wang Xiao played two inside lines in this game and also improved the overall height of the team was just for one thing, to protect the rebound! Drain Howard's stamina!

If one doesn't work, two, two, three!

McGee and Brazz are still sitting on the bench, and Wang Peng doesn't have to worry about not having enough people.

As for the offense, Wang Xiao has no spare energy to think about it, so he can only rely on the personal performance of Harden and others.

Of course, he knows that this lineup has serious flaws, and an overly congested interior line will not only affect the opponent, but also interfere with his own attack.

But what better could he do? In this world, how can there be so many perfect solutions?

As soon as the game began, Howard and the other three big men staged a meat grinder-like battle on the inside.

Howard and Heywood are crazy about the two positions, the height and tonnage of the two are very similar, but obviously Howard's strength is higher than Heywood's, especially the upper body strength, Heywood is obviously at a disadvantage.

Fortunately, Jordan Jr. was also on the court, he basically didn't care much about Barnes on the court arranged by the Magic, and most of his energy was focused on Howard and Haywood, and once Haywood was blocked or out of position by Howard, he immediately made up for it.

Barnes also knew each other, and instead of following up on the inside to play with the three devil spirits, he kept floating on the outside to shoot.

Jordan Jr. does not go out on the outside, and the outside line is basically in a state of 4 to 3, and the Magic team has significantly increased the number of shots on the outside.

This time, luck seems to be on Wang Xiao's side.

The Magic's four shooters didn't start the game particularly well, with several attempted long-range shots deflecting off the basket, and Howard was locked up by Haywood and Jordan Jr. and had no chance to grab offensive rebounds.

Relying on the death of two centers, the Wizards finally have the ability to protect the rebound.
