Despite the decline in shooting and stats, Jamison and Butler have shown little discontent during the season.

Jamison is 34 years old, while Butler, although younger, is also over 30 years old and is beginning to enter the end of his career.

They care more about results than numbers, and if they can get better results for the team, they don't care about the sacrifice of data.

This is also why Wang Xiao did not trade them like he traded Arenas.

Unlike Arenas, Jamieson and Butler are not the kind of players who care about status, and their experience can lead rookies like Curry Harden forward, especially in the fiercely competitive playoffs.

Wizards, inside the head coach's office.

Wang Xiao looked at the final results ranking table in the east and couldn't help but touch his chin.

When all 30 teams in the league have finished the regular season, the final Eastern Conference standings are as follows: Cleveland Cavaliers 62 wins, Washington Wizards 58 wins, Orlando Magic 56 wins, Atlanta Hawks 51 wins, Boston Celtics 50 wins, Milwaukee Bucks 46 wins, Miami Heat 44 wins, and Charlotte Bobcats 43 wins.

The Wizards, who are second in the East, will face the Miami Heat in seventh place in the first round of the playoffs.

"This opponent is interesting......"

As soon as he saw the Heat, Wang Xiao couldn't help but think of Pat. Riley.

Before defeating the future Heat Big Three, it is also quite good to collect some interest.

Today's Heat team, although it is said that there is a top scoring guard Wade, there is only one Wade.

In addition to Wade, the Heat also has nothing more than O'Neal Jr., who is plagued by injuries, and Michael, who seems to have unlimited prospects but is actually a waste. Beasley, as well as Richardson, who averaged 8.9 points per game in the regular season.

But even so, Wang Xiao did not despise his opponent at all.

There are two reasons for this.

First, the Wizards today have too many young players who are inexperienced and likely to be out of shape in the playoffs.

The second point is very simple, Wade.

Wang Xiao vaguely remembers that in another time and space, the Heat should face the Celtics in this year's playoffs.

In the face of the Celtics' ironclad defense, Wade averaged 33 points, 6.8 assists and 5.6 rebounds per game, and his performance was explosive!

Although in terms of lineup and record, the Wizards have an absolute advantage, but if they are too underestimated, they are likely to capsize in the gutter.

In fact, the outside world is generally not optimistic about the performance of the Wizards in the playoffs.

Even after a spectacular regular season performance, the problems the Wizards have.

Reliance on three-pointers, poor defense......

"The playoffs are different from the regular season, it's a real fight, and you can't just fool it by playing smart."

TNT signed a commentator, and the famous Barkley made it clear when he was doing a TV show.

"If the Wizards still shoot three-pointers from the perimeter and play a fast-paced game in the playoffs like they did in the regular season, they are likely to be eliminated by the Heat, and even if they are lucky enough to beat the injury-ridden Heat, it will be difficult to get past the Orlando Magic who may face in the next round! That beast is already hungry and thirsty! ”

In the end, Barkley predicted that the Wizards and Heat would be 2-4, with the Heat beating the Wizards in the next game.

Regarding Barkley's prediction, Wang Xiao just smiled and did not make any comments.

On April 17, the first round of the playoffs began, and the Wizards welcomed their first game against the Miami Heat at home.

……

Wang Xiao sat on the bench seat, watching the game on the court calmly, and beside him, the players of the Wizards team were excitedly waving the towels in their hands to cheer for their teammates.

"Stephen has the ball, he passes Arroyo! Rush inside and jump to the basket! Pretty! Stephen - Curry! ”

During the passionate commentary of the commentator, the referee's whistle sounded at the same time.

"Wonderful 2+1! Stephen didn't feel uncomfortable in his first playoff game, he seemed to be born to play! ”

At this time, there were about 3 minutes left before the end of the second quarter, and the score on the court was 49:35, and the Wizards at home led by 14 points!

Spoelstra, the head coach of the Heat, paced back and forth on the sidelines, a little sweat on his forehead.

Before this game, he put a lot of effort into studying the Wizards' tactics and the technical characteristics of each player, and developed several sets of defensive tactics.

But with only half a game into the series, Spoelstra had already pulled out all the stops.

He was stunned to find that the targeted defensive tactics he had devised were simply vulnerable.

The first player in the first quarter of the game was the veteran player of the Wizards, All-Star power forward Antoine. Jamison.

Jamison is opposite second-year rookie Michael Brown. Beasley.

The two have similar playing styles, but in terms of experience, Jamison has beaten Beasley several streets.

With frequent runs and pick-and-rolls, Jamison easily turned Beasley's spin.

Jamison's back-to-back scoring forced Spoelstra to bring on Haslem to bolster the interior defense.

But when Haslem came on the court, the Heat, which was already not fast, became even slower.

Wang Xiao immediately changed the formation, replaced Haywood from the field, and let Jamison replace him in the center position.

The speed of the Wizards of the Death Five lineup instantly increased, and they continued to use fast breaks to impact the Heat's defense.

O'Neal Jr. quickly committed three fouls and had to be substituted, and Haslem also struggled with two fouls.

Spoelstra was stunned to find that the only players on his team who could keep up with the rhythm of the Wizards seemed to be Wade and Chalmers!

Wade's performance in this game was quite strong, and in the case of Danny. Green scored 20 points before the end of the half, almost single-handedly carrying the Heat forward, but that was all.

The Wizards' defense is weak, but it's an indisputable fact that the Heat don't have any offensive points other than Wade, especially when O'Neal Jr., the only player with decent offensive ability with the ball, sits off the court due to foul trouble.

At the end of the first half, the difference between the two teams was 16 points, and by the end of the game, the difference had reached 27 points.

Wade scored a game-high 39 points, but it was still difficult to prevent the team from losing.

The Wizards didn't use much strength at all, and they easily defeated the Heat without blood!

Anyone who has watched this game can't help but sigh.

The difference in strength is too big!

Admittedly, the Wizards relied on three-pointers and were weak defensively, but with an offensive prowess that bordered on terrifying, those flaws seemed to be completely masked.
