Chapter 307

"Squeak——!

When the whistle blew for the whole game, it also represented the official end of the first game of the Eastern Finals.

The final score between the two teams was fixed at 128-94, and the Wizards beat the Heat by 34 points at home.

There was no suspense in the whole game, like a one-sided slaughter.

Curry 28 points, George 25, Thompson 23 points, Leonard 17 points...... All seven players on the Wizards team scored in double figures.

In contrast, the highest scorer on the Heat's side was James with 32 points, followed by Wade with 23 points, Bosh with 19 points, and Ray with 11 points. Aaron, except for these four, no one scored a double-double.

The gap in the roster is like a chasm between the Heat and the Wizards, and anyone can easily see the gap at a glance.

As a result, although the series was only one game, from the media to the audience, it was basically determined that the Wizards would inevitably eliminate the Heat and enter the Finals for the third consecutive year, and the Heat would most likely fall apart this summer, as Wang Xiao said.

In the summer of '13, it happened to be a player option in the Big Three contract, and all three of James had the option to jump out of the contract and sign with another team.

There are even bookmakers who offer handicaps and give odds on James' next team.

The New York Knicks, the Bulls, the Clippers and even the Lakers are all on the list.

Although he failed to win the NBA championship and did not win the honor in the past two years, James's popularity is still among the top ranks in the NBA, and people are naturally very interested in his next home.

Where James goes, Wang Xiao is not very interested, because it has nothing to do with the Wizards, at least he will definitely not come to the Wizards.

The Wizards and the Heat can be called mortal enemies because of Wang Xiao, Wang Xiao has to mock the Heat every year, and the Heat team tried their best but could not defeat the Wizards, and the fans on both sides have almost reached the point of being on the same page.

has been eliminated in the playoffs for two consecutive years, and is even about to usher in the fate of being eliminated for the third time, in this case, if James wants to join the Wizards, he will inevitably be sprayed.

The act of joining if you can't beat is always despised in the NBA league, and it is precisely because of this that Durant will be criticized by so many people when he goes to the Warriors in the future.

Besides, even if James wanted to come, Wang Xiao was not necessarily willing to ask for it.

The team currently has a full lineup, a good atmosphere, and relatively healthy salary space, and the arrival of James is bound to squeeze out someone on the front line, either Leonard or George.

And James's style of play determines that he must attack with the ball, so the role of Curry and Green will also be greatly reduced.

The main player of the entire Wizards team who will not be affected by James is probably only Thompson.

No matter how popular James is, there is no need for Wang Xiao to pick up the sesame seeds and throw away the watermelon.

And James going to other teams may have a certain impact on the Wizards, but it will not be too big, because there will be no second team in the entire league that can form such a luxurious roster as the Wizards.

……

After the game, Wang Xiao rarely did not mock the Heat at the press conference, he just praised the performance of the Wizards players and praised everyone to the sky.

"I have the best players in the world and I'm proud of them."

It's just that when asked what he thinks about where the series will go next, Wang Xiao still showed strong confidence.

"Of course we will win, and we can only win, as I said last season when we won the title, we have only one goal for the new season, and that is to defend the title, and if we don't succeed, then this season will be a season of failure for us, and we will do everything we can to do it."

Wang Xiao's words were full of confidence in defending his title.

And the second game of the two teams is like a vote from the whole team of the Wizards to implement Wang Xiao's goal.

On May 24th, the second game between the two sides continued to unfold on the Wizards' home court, compared with the first game, the score of the second game was much tighter, Bosh was in a hot state in the first quarter of the game, carrying the offensive banner of the Heat, and the Heat's bench finally made a force. Allen, Battier and Miller all had three points on their nets.

At halftime, the scores of the two teams were still very close, and in the third quarter of the game, James suddenly broke out, scoring 18 points in a single quarter, leading the Heat to successfully overtake the score and end the third quarter with a five-point lead.

It was the first time in the series' two games that the Heat were in the lead after the start of the game.

This once gave Heat fans hope of winning.

However, after the start of the fourth quarter of the game, the situation changed abruptly, and the offensive firepower of the Wizards increased suddenly, and the Heat played three timeouts in a row in just 5 minutes of the opening game, and the 5-point lead was not only wiped out, but even overtaken to double-digit points in the blink of an eye.

The collapse was so fast that the jubilant Heat fans were dumbfounded.

The crowd was dumbfounded, but the Wizards and Heat players weren't surprised by the result.

A few fans who watched the excitement will notice that in order to maintain the lead in the third quarter of the game, the Heat are desperate.

In the third quarter, James played 33 minutes, Wade played 30 minutes, and Bosh also played 28 minutes.

The high-intensity game time has overdrawn the physical strength of James and others, especially James.

Normally, he should have played 40 minutes a game with ease, but against the Wizards, the situation was completely different.

He faced a full entanglement of the league's top forward defenders such as Leonard, Green and even George, and every round and every offense required a lot of physical energy for James.

Under the entanglement of two best defensive players (including a future) and a best defensive player, James was able to resist the entire three quarters of the game, and Wang Xiao was a little surprised.

By the fourth quarter of the game, the Heat had almost run out of ammunition, James didn't even have the strength to run, and several offenses ended with shooting from the outside, and James' long-range shot ...... The results speak for themselves.

The collapse of the fourth quarter made the Heat's persistence in the third quarter of the game fall short, and the game lost its suspense.

At 114:108, the overall score of the series came to 2:0.

There is one thing to say, the performance of the Heat team in the second game is really a little surprising to Wang Xiao, the first three quarters of the game can play with the Wizards, just relying on the hard work of James and others is not enough, the performance of the whole team today is very good.

Wade, Bosh, and even the Heat's bench lineup have all shown good form, and it can be said that they have played at a super level.
