The fourth game between the Wizards and the Celtics will still be played at the North Shore Garden Arena, the home of the Celtics, but fortunately, the distance between Washington and Boston is not very far, and after the third game, the Wizards will fly back to Washington to rest, and only come to the Celtics before the start of the fourth game.

In this game, Celtic has undoubtedly stepped on the edge of the cliff with half a foot, and if they continue to lose the game at home, the overall score will reach 3:1, and the hope of turning the tables is almost slim.

There are only a handful of people who can complete a comeback when they are 1:3 behind, and they are also a handful in the history of the playoffs.

So this game, Celtic want to win it no matter what.

Similarly, Wang Xiao's side did not give up the slightest idea of winning this game.

As the saying goes, one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion.

The Wizards, who are currently on a two-game winning streak, are in full swing, and if they can win this game, the morale of the Wizards will also be at their peak, and when the time comes, whether it is to eliminate the Celtics or continue to face the Heat, the opponent of the Western Conference finals, it will be excellent.

But if you lose this game, not to mention the team's morale, you will have to fight the Celtics in the battle of Tianwang Mountain.

To be honest, Wang Xiao is reluctant to fight a tough battle like Tianwangshan with an experienced and tenacious team like Celtic.

Although the Wizards' current roster is extremely luxurious, it is reasonable that there are very few players on the team who can play hard.

Harden naturally needless to say, after becoming the star of the Rockets in another time and space, the problem of malaise at the critical moment of the playoffs has been criticized by countless people, and I don't know how many times.

Although Curry performed slightly better than Harden, he was always in poor shape by the opponent's targeted defense in key games such as the Finals.

In the 14-15 season, the Warriors reached the Finals for the first time, facing the Remnant Cavaliers, ending the entire series with six games, but the MVP of the Finals was not Curry, but Iguodala.

Curry played badly against Cavaliers backup point guard Dellavedova.

And the next year, that is, in the 15-16 season, Curry won the regular season MVP for a second time, and led the Warriors to 73 wins that shocked the league.

Curry has also been criticized for relying too much on feel and not being able to play tough battles.

……

Under Wang Xiao's tutelage, Curry and Harden's growth paths have been completely different from another time and space, but even so, Wang Xiao did not dare to risk trying the reflexes of these two people under high pressure.

In the final analysis, Wang Xiao didn't use any props similar to growth template cards for the two of them, no matter how they trained, the upper limit and ability value of the two should not exceed the peak value of another time and space.

This is not to say that the ceiling of the two is not high enough, on the contrary, whether it is Curry or Harden, as players, they can already be regarded as the top existence.

Curry redefined the three-point shot, almost single-handedly changed the style of the entire league, and became the first player in the league to be unanimously elected as the MVP of the regular season.

Although Harden is inferior to Curry in championships and other honors, he was also elected MVP of the regular season, and his explosive data of 36 points, 7.5 assists and 6.6 rebounds per game in the 18-19 season is one of the craziest individual shows after Jordan Bryant.

It is precisely because their own ceiling is already very high, properly at the level of the Historical Hall of Fame, that if they want to improve further, it is not at all achievable by simple training.

Of course, Curry and Harden under Wang Xiao are far from reaching the level of their peak, so training can still greatly improve their individual abilities.

To get back to the point, in order to avoid complications, Wang Xiao must further reduce the risk of fighting.

The fourth game against the Celtics must also be won by a manageable choice.

As for how to win, of course, it is still holding on to George's wool!

Compared with Curry and Harden, George, who grew up almost entirely in confrontation with James, is obviously much stronger in his ability to play tough battles, but unfortunately George never really defeated James, and even in terms of statistics, he couldn't surpass James.

Fortunately, Wang Xiao is not ready to let George defeat James, it is impossible to be reasonable, although James has many black spots, but his personal strength is undoubtedly historic.

As long as George can slightly offset James's role, in Wang Xiao's opinion, it will be a success.

And now, helping the Wizards win over the Celtics is George's biggest test before facing James.

……

After the explosive performance of the first two games, no matter how iron Rivers is, it is impossible to continue to let George continue to take the ball as casually as in the first two games.

Wang Xiao's prediction was not wrong.

At the beginning of the fourth game, George was taken care of by the Celtics, not only did Pierce follow closely throughout the whole process, but whenever George received the ball, players on the Celtics side would immediately come forward to cover it.

George's passing ability is not very good, and it is difficult to get the ball to the open players in the first place when facing the pack.

The Celtics' targeted defense made George very uncomfortable, and even made frequent mistakes when passing the ball out.

This also caused the Wizards to lose even George's stable scoring point at the beginning.

was in an unfavorable situation at the beginning, and Wang Xiao was not in a hurry to make adjustments.

In his impression, George's assist ability is not strong, but it is by no means the type that will not respond, and he has also averaged 4+ assists per game in the next few seasons.

In the previous regular season, George did not take on the role of passer, which is why he was helpless when he encountered the Celtics' targeted defense.

But Wang Xiao believes that with George's adaptability and learning ability, he should be able to adapt to such a rhythm very quickly.

It was almost the same as Wang Xiao expected.

In the first quarter of the game, George hit only 1 of 4 shots under the Celtics' defense, and also made 3 turnovers under the bag, which was a terrible performance.

But as the second quarter began, it was clear that George was starting to get used to it.

When facing the opponent's double bag, he no longer panicked, but calmly looked for an open teammate, and tried to pass the ball out as soon as possible.

Either way, there will inevitably be gaps in other positions, and when George can pass the ball out before the two-man package is formed, the players on the Wizards' side who receive the ball will basically be in an open position.

Soon, George was hand-to-hand and nearly filled the hole he had dug in the first quarter.
