Chapter 327: Not a Defeat!
"We've just formed our squad and the players and coaches don't know each other very well, so it makes us feel lost on the pitch and don't know what to do, so it's going to be a tough learning and adaptation process, but I'm sure we'll get used to it quickly and show the quality and level we deserve......"
This is what Cavaliers head coach Blatter said at the post-game press conference.
"On top of that, we're up against the Wizards, who have won two championships in a row, and they won 70 wins in the regular season last season, and even the current Cavaliers, it's hard to guarantee a 100 percent win against them, but I believe that as time goes on, when my players get used to each other and develop a tacit understanding with each other, we definitely have the strength to fight."
There is nothing wrong with what Blatter said, and you can also give an explanation to the fans of the Cavaliers, this is just the first game of the new Cavaliers, and the cooperation between the players is not tacit enough, and it is unfortunate to meet the Wizards, the two-time champion of the championship, and it is normal to lose.
However, such a reason can only be used once or twice, and if the Cavaliers still lose in the following games, the situation will not be good.
……
The Wizards' big win over the Cavaliers in the first game made many fans who were a little uneasy feel relieved.
Even the Cavaliers' Big Four are no match for the Wizards, so who else in this league can compete with the Wizards?
The Trail Blazers who were beaten by the Wizards day after day in the Finals year after year? With the new acquisition of Bosh, does the Spurs have further reinforcements in the lineup?
No, not at all.
Three consecutive championships are inevitable, and the Wizards are about to usher in the first dynasty in history!
Excited fans don't know that the surprise that the Wizards want to give them is not just a three-game dynasty......
After the first game against the Cavaliers, the Wizards' second game was on the road, flying to Dallas against the Mavericks.
After winning a championship in '11, the Mavericks seemed to have been drained of all their energy, and the following seasons were underwhelming.
He was swept out of the first round in '12, and he didn't even make the playoffs in '13.
Now, the Mavericks are the only ones on the Mavericks who can still maintain an efficient offensive efficiency.
In this game, the Wizards also won it easily without suspense.
Then the third game was away to the Philadelphia 76ers, the fourth game was at home to the defunct Miami Heat, and the fifth game was at home to the Toronto Raptors.
In the blink of an eye, in the first week of the game, the Wizards won five consecutive games in the opening game.
Such a victory did not come as a surprise to Wizards fans, who have become accustomed to the Wizards' regular season victories over the years, and it would have been surprising and strange to not win.
During the five-game winning streak, the scoring champion of the Wizards team is Curry, five games, he averaged 25 points and 7 assists per game, although the data is not explosive, but the shooting rate is extremely high, 51% shooting, 46% three-point shooting rate, and the efficiency value ranks first in the Wizards.
He was followed by George, who averaged 23 points per game.
George's scoring ability has finally evolved to the top level of the league, especially the mid-to-long-range shooting, which he was not good at at the beginning of his career, has also been practiced under Wang Xiao's training module bonus training regardless of the cost.
In these five games, George averaged 3 three-pointers per game, shooting around 38%, although the number is not much, and the shooting rate is inferior to Curry Thompson, but he has also become the third most consistent shooter on the outside of the Wizards.
In addition to these two, the Wizards also have Thompson, who averages 18.8 points per game, and Leonard, who averages 17.5 points per game.
The starting four scored a terrifying 84 points, and the Wizards' bench scored a lot of points.
Isaiah. Thomas became the top scorer off the bench, averaging 11 points per game.
In addition, Drummond. Green is averaging about 8 points per game. Butler & Chandler. Parsons is around five.
Plus Gobert, Cuarón. Butler and others, the Wizards averaged a terrifying 123 points per game in the first five games of the regular season!
The Wizards' equally breathtaking defensive prowess is the counterpart.
In all five games, the Wizards limited their opponents' scoring to less than 100 points, and although all five teams scored more than 90 points because of the pace of the game, the average point difference of nearly 20 points per game is still extremely terrifying.
And yet this efficiency continues......
On Nov. 10, the Wizards defeated the Brooklyn Nets 119-101.
On Nov. 12, the Wizards defeated the San Antonio Spurs 121-99.
On Nov. 13, the Wizards defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves 115-93.
On Nov. 20, the Wizards defeated the New York Knicks 117-105.
In the blink of an eye, the Wizards were on a 10-game winning streak and leading the season for the fourth year in a row.
At this time, the fans and the media finally felt that something was wrong, the Wizards' state in these ten games was really good, this is simply the rhythm of heaven!
"Who else in this league can stop the Wizards?"
Unstoppable, unbeatable!
The Wizards in the new season, just like the Bulls in 96-98 and the Lakers in 00-02, are completely dominant and have no one-in-one rivals.
The only possible challenger, the Cleveland Cavaliers, is still in the run-in phase of the team's roster.
Out of ten games, the Cavaliers lost three and won seven.
It is currently in second place in the East, behind the Wizards, who are in full ten-game positions.
That's a pretty good record, but it's not enough for a Cavaliers with the Big Four.
Cleveland fans expect the Wizards to be unbeatably dominant, and what they're showing is just the intensity of a normal team.
If that's all there is to it, James alone did it with the Cavaliers in '09, and his 66-16 record is already the best in the history of the Cavaliers.
If the Cavaliers can't even surpass this now, then what's the point of spending so much effort to build the Big Four?
……
Next, in the six games left in the remaining half of November, the Wizards also won bloodlessly, including two back-to-back games that were a little thrilling and almost overturned in the gutter, but with the efficient scoring of the bench lineup in the third quarter and the explosion of Curry Thompson, the Splash Brothers, in the final quarter of the game, there was still a thrilling way to win the game.
As a result, people were stunned to find that before they knew it, the Wizards had won 16 consecutive victories and had not tasted defeat in the regular season so far!
