Chapter 203: The End of the Season and the Beginning of the Draft
Originally, everyone thought that the final result would come out quickly, but this was not the case.
In the hopeless situation of 3:0 overturn, the players of the Wizards team experienced disappointment again, but calmly let go.
In the fourth game added, the Wizards finally played their usual style, Curry and others played well, turning the score to 3:1.
Dallas fans were very upset about this, and before the start of the fourth game, the championship trophy had been sent to the American Route Center Stadium, just waiting for the team to win the championship trophy after sweeping the Wizards 4-0.
However, the Wizards, who have already declared themselves out, have ruined all this.
It's not as good to win a cup in Washington as it is to win a cup in Dallas, after all, not all fans will travel all the way to Washington to support the team.
But then, the fifth game in Washington made the Mavericks fans all break out in a cold sweat.
On the home court of the Wizards, the Mavericks lost again, and this time it was quite ugly.
At their home court, all the players of the Wizards were full of firepower, and they made 24 three-pointers in a single game, with a big score of 132:98, and beat the Mavericks by a full 34 points!
It's rare for such a huge margin to appear in the Finals, and throughout the history of the league, such a margin can also rank fifth in the Finals record.
And the Wizards are at home in the next city, and the big score has become 3:2, and the situation is different all of a sudden.
If the Wizards win the next game at the Mavericks' home court, the Mavericks' championship will be in danger, and if the Wizards turn the tables to make history in this situation, the Mavericks will always be on the pillar of shame, and they will be mentioned again and again when they think of the big comeback in the future.
So, in the sixth battle between the two sides, the Mavericks went completely crazy.
Nowitzki scored 24 points in the first half and by the fourth quarter had scored more than 40 points.
And the Wizards didn't let an inch of ground fight at all, Curry scored 32 points, George scored 26 points, and kept the score tightly until there were about three minutes left in the fourth quarter, and the difference between the two sides was only hovering around two points.
However, perhaps it was really providential, and when the game reached the most critical moment, the unexpected happened.
Curry accidentally stepped on the defender's instep and sprained his ankle when he broke through with the ball.
Wang Xiao was frightened at the time, so he just sprained slightly, and it was not a big deal.
But even so, Wang Xiao still didn't dare to let Curry continue to stay on the court.
Curry, who played the sixth game, has been fighting on the court for nearly 40 minutes, and his playing time is the most among Wizards players.
Curry went off the court, and the Wizards' offensive firepower immediately dropped a notch, and the Mavericks seized the opportunity to expand the point difference in one fell swoop, and finally won the sixth game without danger and lifted the championship trophy in the 10-11 season.
Faced with such an ending, Wang Xiao also accepted it calmly.
When the team fell behind 0:3, Wang Xiao was already mentally prepared for the team to be swept out, but these guys actually stubbornly won two games and fought to this extent in the sixth game, which he didn't expect at all.
If the team can really turn the tables and win the championship with 0:3, it would be excellent, but if it can't be done, Wang Xiao will not force it, these young players can do this, he is very satisfied.
Nowitzki, the star of the Mavericks, was voted the MVP of the Finals, and he fully deserved the honor.
averaged 30.2 points, 10.7 rebounds and 3 assists per game in the entire series, and in terms of scoring, Nowitzki was the highest among the players on both teams.
……
The end of the finals also means the official end of the NBA2010-2011 season, and the players of the Wizards have been on vacation since this time, whether to go to the beach for a leisure vacation, or to learn from the pain and practice for themselves is their personal freedom.
But as a head coach, especially the one who holds the power, Wang Xiao's work is far from over.
In June, in addition to the Finals, the NBA has another big event, which is also the annual NBA Draft.
The draft can be said to be Wang Xiao's favorite, because using the foresight of the traverser, he can easily cut off some star players who will play in the future.
Curry Harden in '09 and George in '10 are his classic robbery cases.
In the 11-year draft, Wang Xiao will not be absent either.
Sitting in the office, Wang Xiao touched his chin and stared at the scouting report placed in front of the desk.
Seconds later, he pulled a few copies from the thick stack of scouting reports and pushed all of his other heads aside.
Laying out the several scouting reports on the table, the corners of Wang Xiao's mouth couldn't help but curl slightly.
Washington State University, Clay. Thompson. ”
San Diego State University, Kawai. Leonard. ”
"Marquette University, Jimmy. Butler. ”
University of Florida, Chandler. Parsons. ”
"University of Washington, Isaiah. Thomas. ”
This five-point scouting report is the target selected by Wang Xiao.
The 11-year draft can be regarded as a good draft year, and there are seven All-Star players among the rookies in this class, including four of the league's top stars. Leonard, Carey. Owen, Jimmy. Butler, Clay. Thompson.
Among these players, Wang Xiao takes a fancy to the above five people.
Needless to say, as a player who can fit perfectly into any system, Thompson's top-notch offensive ability and first-class defensive ability, coupled with a completely off-ball style make Thompson a fish in water in any team's tactical system.
And Thompson is undoubtedly one of the most partnered guards with Curry, not inferior to Curry's range can help Curry pull space, first-class defensive ability can also make up for Curry's defensive shortcomings to a certain extent, he is undoubtedly the player that Wang Xiao will inevitably win.
As for Kawai. Leonard is also a player that Wang Xiao values very much.
Leonard is undoubtedly the player who will have the biggest impact on James' No. 1 position in the league in the future, even surpassing Durant, especially after leading the Raptors to win the championship against the remnants of the Warriors in '19, his popularity has completely peaked.
In addition to these two people, Wang Xiao also fell in love with Jimmy. Butler, Parsons and Thomas Jr., the reason why they are interested in these three players is that they have good potential and level, and on the other hand, because of a very practical reason - these three people are cheaper.
