Chapter 347: It's 2:0 Again?

In the first two quarters of the game, the two teams have maintained a five-five open situation, and the game was completely broken in the third quarter, the Wizards continued to maintain a very high offensive efficiency in the third quarter, scoring 31 points, while the Cavaliers fell into an offensive drought, scoring only 19 points in the entire quarter!

James sat on the sidelines, his face extremely ugly.

"Damn, how did it happen like this again?"

This kind of rhythm is very familiar to him, and in the previous years with the Heat, whenever he played against the Wizards, the situation would evolve into the way it is now.

Compared to the strength of the starting lineup alone, neither the Heat nor the Cavaliers are inferior to the Wizards, but the depth of the bench of the Wizards, which is the best in the league, cannot be achieved by any team in the league.

The inability to take a decisive lead against the Wizards' equally strong starting lineup, and the huge gap in the bench often puts the team at a disadvantage, is undoubtedly the most desperate thing to do.

The Wizards' tactical system is not complicated, that is, the fast-paced small-ball tactics coupled with frequent blocking, dismantling and passing and cutting cooperation, to put it mildly, the reason why the Wizards can have the current results is completely dependent on the individual ability of the players.

The Wizards are always using a lot of good players, what can be done about that?

……

Relying on the score advantage established by the bench lineup, when Curry and others re-appeared, they immediately took the initiative on the court.

James also re-entered the battle, and relied on his explosive combat power to lead the Cavaliers to chase the score little by little.

However, whenever the scores of the two teams are close, there is always someone on the Wizards team who jumps out.

"Curry! Three-point hit! ”

"Thompson! Nice cut! ”

"Leonard singled James successfully!"

……

The score remained around 10 points until the end of the game.

When the full-time whistle blew, the Wizards' home court erupted in cheers of excitement.

At 117:109, the Wizards beat the Cavaliers by six points at home.

The team did not disappoint the fans at home, and the victory over the archrival Cavaliers in the first game was undoubtedly a reassurance to the majority of Wizards fans.

James shot only about 44% from the field and made six turnovers in this game under the rotation of Leonard and Green.

But even so, he still contributed 34 points, 8 rebounds and 11 assists in the whole game, and his performance was against the sky.

However, in addition to James, the only player on the Cavaliers who played well was point guard Kyrie. Irving.

Irving finished with 22 points and five assists on 8-of-15 shooting from the field and free throws.

The other two of the Cavaliers' Big Four, Dwight. Howard had only 14 points and 9 rebounds in the game, while Love had only 11 points and 5 rebounds.

Such a performance is obviously not enough to be called a giant, but it is an inevitable result in the Cavaliers.

Although James and Irving both have long-range shooting ability, both are undoubtedly players who are good at breaking.

Since they are known for their breakthroughs, when they break through, there must not be too many people on the inside line, otherwise they will block their breakthrough route.

Lefu basically acted as an outside battery throughout the game, and there were very few opportunities to catch the ball, so it was strange that the data could be good-looking.

Howard got a lot of chances throughout the game, but Howard did not have the explosiveness and physical strength of his youth, and in the face of Gobert's defense, his offensive efficiency was very low, or it was difficult to find easy shots under Gobert's defense.

……

Needless to say, after the game, Howard and Love became the targets of accusations from Cavaliers fans.

There is no harm without contrast.

Compared to the Wizards, where every player played well, these are the only two people who can be blamed for the Cavaliers' loss.

You can't blame James, who scored 30 points + quasi-triple-doubles, and Irving, who has contributed 20+5 steadily, certainly can't take the blame.

After the game, both Howard and Love apologized for their poor performance, and promised to recall their form as soon as possible in the next games to help the team win the series.

Clearly, however, such promises have not had a significant effect.

The poor play of Howard and Love is not entirely due to their personal problems, and most importantly, the key to the Wizards' victory is the huge gap in the bench lineup, not the poor play of one or two players in the Cavaliers.

……

The second game between the two sides began on May 20, and unlike the previous game, the Wizards dominated the entire game and maintained the advantage from the first quarter until the moment the whistle blew at the end of the game.

At 113:88, the Wizards lost the game, losing by a full 25 points.

The Wizards won two in a row, and the series score became 2-0.

Such a score did not surprise the vast majority of the league, but many still did not expect the process to be so easy.

The imagined collision did not happen, and the Cavaliers were really no match for the Wizards, even if it was the Big Four, there was still a gap with the 73-win team.

What scares most teams in the league even more is that the Wizards are not at their strongest, and there is an All-Star caliber player, Paul. George could only watch the game from the sidelines.

The Cavaliers are no match for the Wizards without Paul, let alone after Paul returns from injury?

After two games, many people basically think that there is no suspense about the Wizards' three-game winning streak.

The Wizards, who won three consecutive championships and 73 wins, may set even more terrifying records in the future, such as six consecutive championships and eight consecutive championships...... After all, their lineup is too young, and as long as they can retain most of their main forces, they will have few opponents in the league.

……

After two home games, Wang Xiao and the Wizards will rush to Cleveland for an away game.

Before that, he took time off to travel to New York with Wizards management to participate in the 2014 draft draw.

In the past, Wang Xiao didn't bother to participate in activities like the lottery ceremony, anyway, the Wizards have the first record in the league every year, and the lottery basically has nothing to do with them.

But this year is a little different.

Not long ago, the Milwaukee Bucks officially completed the equity transfer. Kerr sold the Bucks to Wesley Adhans and Mark Leslie for $550 million, with Wesley Adhans taking the majority stake and becoming the Bucks' big boss.

This lottery ceremony is the first time that the new owner of the Bucks has been involved in the team's work. Adnams' daughter, Mallory. Adnams will also be like another plane and will amaze the crowd at this draw ceremony.
