After losing to the Lakers on the road, the Wizards ended their winning streak, but even so, the Wizards' position in the top spot in the East is still secure, and the second-placed Bulls and the Wizards still have a three-game win difference.

And immediately following the last leg of the 4 consecutive visitors, the game against the New York Knicks, Wang Xiao had no intention of releasing water.

Curry and Jamison, who had a game off, both started the game.

It may be a little blunt, but compared to the Lakers, the Knicks are indeed a soft persimmon to pinch.

Although the Knicks have an All-Star like Stoudemire on their roster, only Stoudemire can handle it.

The Knicks' starting five Tigers are Amare. Stoudemire, Wilson. Chandler, Raymond. Felton, Danilo. Gallinari and Ronnie. Turyaf.

Chandler, Felton, and Gallinari are all barely good players, but that's all, at least in the eyes of people like Wang Xiao who have the ability to travel through the prophetic vision, these players are completely unqualified as starters.

In fact, by the trade deadline in February, these guys will be traded to the Nuggets as trade chips in exchange for another superstar, Cameron. Anthony and Finals MVP Chaunce. Billups.

And now, this starting lineup is simply vulnerable under the bombardment of the Wizards.

The Knicks haven't put much emphasis on defense for many years, and when the team's head coach was replaced by D'Antoni, the Suns' godfather, it was even more exaggerated.

This is a game without suspense at all, just like the last game when the Wizards played against the Lakers, at halftime, the difference between the two teams has reached more than 20 points, the difference is that in the last game, it was the Wizards who were behind, and this game they were in the lead.

After the third quarter of the game, Stoudemire tried to lead the team to launch a counterattack, although the Knicks' defense was not very good, but the offensive ability was much better under D'Antoni's tutelage, averaging 106 points per game this season, ranking third among the 30 teams in the league.

Unfortunately, their opponent is the Washington Wizards, who can average 117 points per game and rank first in the league.

Although the attack launched by Stoudemire was ferocious, the Wizards suppressed it with an even more ferocious attack!

In the end, the game ended 127-102, with the Wizards winning by 25 points on the road.

In this game, Stoudemire scored a game-high 36 points, but he couldn't stand alone, facing the team's seven double-doubles, and Curry, Harden and Jamison all scored 20+ points, and could only secretly sigh that their teammates were not strong enough.

And after the victory over the Knicks, the Wizards' hellish four-game game is finally over.

In four games, the Wizards have a record of 3 wins and 1 loss, which is already a very rare result.

Wang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, after surviving this wave of four consecutive visitors, the next schedule will be much better.

After the four consecutive away games, the Wizards have two consecutive home games, the opponents are the Kings and the Nets, two weak opponents, and between these two home games, there is a full 6 days of rest, which can be regarded as a small long vacation for the NBA regular season schedule that arranges one game every 2 days on average, and the league has specially arranged two more days of rest time in consideration of the fatigue of the four consecutive visitors.

But...... Wang Xiao's breath couldn't be relieved for too long.

The two home games will be played on December 14 and December 16 respectively, and after that, four more games will be played until December 25.

Christmas, Christmas War!

In previous years, the Christmas game had nothing to do with the Wizards, after all, the Wizards, under the leadership of Arenas, had only the second round in the East.

But this year is different.

Last season, the Wizards, under the leadership of Wang Xiao, played one of the most exciting performances in history, and the team used the most flashy tactics to go all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals, and was finally eliminated by the Celtics.

This season, the Wizards are also proud to be part of the Christmas game, and on December 25, their opponent is the Boston Celtics, who eliminated the Wizards in the Eastern Conference Finals last season.

This game cannot be ignored by Wang Xiao.

Due to the emergence of Wang Xiao and the emergence of the Wizards, the Bulls, who should have been ranked first in the East this season, fell to second, and the Heat, who were ranked second, fell to third, and the Celtics, who were supposed to be ranked third in the East, naturally fell to the fourth position in the East at this time, and if you predict according to this ranking, in the playoffs, the Celtics are likely to meet the Wizards who are ranked first in the second round.

Although the regular season has only been played for a quarter so far, and the final ranking of the results is still uncertain, Wang Xiao feels that this possibility is extremely high.

In this case, the four games against the Celtics in the regular season become particularly important.

Wang Xiao's goal this season is to snipe the Heat Big Three in the playoffs, but it would be too embarrassing if he fell in front of the Celtics before he met the Heat Big Three.

In order to achieve the goal, it is necessary to secure a playoff victory against the Celtics.

At the start of the season, the Wizards played the Celtics once on the road.

And that game was lost by the Wizards.

The Celtics' lineup also has some restraint on the Wizards, who mainly play small-ball tactics.

Unlike the Lakers, who put a lot of pressure on the Wizards' interior with their twin towers, the main reason the Celtics restrained the Wizards was that the team's defensive ability was too strong.

Rondo, Ray. Allen, Pierce's outside defense is no weaker than the Lakers' combination of Kobe, Artest and Fisher, and the Celtics also have a super defensive titan Kevin who claims to be able to defend from the No. 1 position to the No. 5 position. Garnett.

Garnett, who is the same age as Jamison, has declined significantly in all aspects of his statistics this season, averaging only 15 points and 9 rebounds per game, but no one dares to underestimate the former wolf king.

At least in last season's playoffs and the early season encounters, Garnett appeared to be comfortable defending the Wizards' small-ball lineup, especially the Wizards' most accustomed interior player pulling down the outside to assist in blocking and pick-and-roll, which was quite ineffective in front of Garnett, who was tall and fast-moving.

"What to do with the Celtics?"

While Wang Xiao was having a headache for this problem, he had to pay attention to another thing.

On December 25, the Wizards will play against the Celtics, and on December 27, on the Wizards' home court, their opponent will be the Miami Heat.

That's right, after nearly a month, the Heat team will make a comeback, Wang Xiao has no doubt at all, the Heat team from the general manager to the head coach to the Big Three, are eager to win this game.
