Chapter 346: Why Be Reasonable?
What kind of reasoning, why should I reason with you? Why can you punch and kill indiscriminately?
Wang Xiao and his Wizards team, from the very beginning of the game, strictly followed this point.
Curry had a very good hand today, which made him a multiplying threat from beyond the three-point line.
With Irving alone, you can't even limit Curry.
Wang Xiao's strategy in this game is also very simple and straightforward.
Fight for speed.
I don't compare you with star stability, nor do I compare the defensive ability of the inside, and even the shooting percentage that I have always been good at, only one is compared to one, speed.
The average age of the Wizards' players is only 25 years old, and they are all in the prime of life, full of energy, and running like wild horses.
Although the current roster of the Cavaliers is not very old, it is obviously not able to outrun the Wizards.
What's more, when the main team of the Wizards can't run, Wang Xiao can replace them off the court and let Jimmy. Butler, Chandler. Parsons and others came on as substitutes.
But the Cavaliers can't do it, their bench lineup can only be ranked in the middle and bottom of the league, and there are several veterans with veteran base salaries.
Throughout the regular season, basically the Cavaliers won the game by relying on the excellent performance of the starting five tigers, and the bench has always been their weakness.
So after a few rounds, after discovering that the Wizards obviously had the idea of speeding up the pace of the game, the Cavaliers seemed a little impatient.
"Hold the pace! Hit the success rate, everyone must remember to card the position when attacking, and don't let the opponent form a fast attack! ”
Blatter shouted loudly from the sidelines.
As the biggest opponent of the Wizards, the Cavaliers have indeed painstakingly studied the tactical characteristics of the Wizards this season, but research does not mean that they can be 100% limited.
Another feature of the Wizards is that there are five players on the court, four of whom can carry the ball.
Curry, Thompson, Leonard, Green.
No matter how tightly the Cavaliers are marked, it is impossible to target all four.
The fast break can still be played, even if the success rate is less affected, but it is enough to ensure that the situation on the court does not fall behind.
If the situation is not very ideal, a slight backwardness is acceptable, because the high-frequency switchback run will consume a lot of physical energy of the main force, even if James is an iron man, he can't keep running wildly for 48 minutes of a game.
As long as the main team of the Cavaliers can't withstand the break, then the game belongs to the Wizards' bench.
On the other hand, the Cavaliers have a deep study of the Wizards' tactics, and the Wizards are not completely ignorant of the Cavaliers.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the Wizards really don't know much about the Cavaliers, isn't there still Wang Xiao?
As a traverser, Wang Xiao knows very well that the team with James only needs to consider one problem, that is, how to limit James's play.
As long as you can limit James well, you can make the overall offensive rhythm of the Cavaliers completely chaotic.
Neither Irving nor Love are players who can control or stabilize the tempo, and neither is Howard.
In this game, Wang Xiao still followed the method of the regular season, letting Leonard and Green take turns to defend James, even if they have played several times, but the frequent change of defensive players every two or three rounds still makes him a little uncomfortable.
Leonard was better, although the defense was difficult to entangle, but the defense was clean, and another defensive player, Drummond. Green is different, not only is there a lot of small movements, but his mouth is not clean, and he is chattering and thinking all the time.
"LeBron, do you think you can beat us? You've lost to us for three years in a row, and a few years are no exception, don't think you can win by finding a few new thighs to hold, unless you join us, you can't win with anyone's thighs! ”
Green, who is talented in his own right, is in Caron. Butler, a pre-professional delinquent, has become a villain.
Such a player is naturally very disgusting as an opponent, but it is different as a teammate, he will be an extremely difficult bastard, dragging the strongest guy on the opponent's side and helping the team win.
The Cavaliers' desire to slow down the pace of the game was not possible, and their attempt to take advantage of a higher shooting percentage to take the lead was also not possible.
In the first quarter of the game, Curry hit 3 of 5 three-point shots and scored 16 points in a single quarter, while the Wizards scored 34 points in the first quarter.
The Cavaliers' scoring was also not low, with 33 points in the first quarter only one point lower than the Wizards.
It seems that there is nothing wrong with this, but in fact, the lead that cannot be taken without spending a lot of physical energy on the starting team is already a failure for the Cavaliers.
In the second quarter of the game, the Cavaliers finally found some rhythm, scoring 30 points in a single quarter, overtaking the Wizards with 27 points and taking a two-point lead......
2 points, in front of the Wizards' benches, is almost equal to none.
With Isaiah. Thomas, Jimmy. Butler & Chandler. Parsons and other bench players came on, and the Wizards quickly launched a counterattack against the Cavaliers.
The first to strike was Isaiah. Thomas.
Thomas Jr. is a black hole on the defensive end because of his height, but on the offensive end, his short height can bring him faster speed.
Such a speed is something that the vast majority of players don't have time to react to!
"Isaiah. Thomas! ”
Amid the cheers of the Wizards' fans across the court, Thomas Jr. lightningly cleared the defender and threw in to score.
This happened three times in a row, and Cavaliers head coach Blatter's face darkened a little.
In less than a minute, Isaiah. Thomas scored 6 points in a row, not only catching up with the 2-point difference, but even surpassing by 4 points!
Wang Xiao sat on the bench with a calm face without any expression.
When it comes to scoring ability, look at the bench, even if it's Jimmy. Butler, not as good as Thomas Jr.
At the peak of his career, the strongest 1.75 meters on the surface, he even had a crazy performance of 28.9 points and 5.9 assists per game in the regular season.
You know, even Jimmy. Butler, the peak season of his future career, averaged only 23.9 points per game.
And as a player who is only 1.75 meters tall and no different from ordinary people, how difficult it is to get this data in the NBA, where there are many strong players.
Under the practice bonus of Wang Xiao's training module, Thomas Jr. also has to show his offensive talent earlier than in another time and space, although the training bonus he enjoys is not as big as Curry Leonard and others, but it is by no means comparable to ordinary training.
Even if he has not yet reached the full strength of the strongest 1.75 meters on the surface in another time and space, facing a group of substitute players of the Cavaliers is as simple as chopping melons and vegetables.
