The Celtics and the Magic are different.

First of all, the first difference is the difference in the outside lineup.

The Magic's outside lineup is dominated by Carter and Lewis, who occupy almost half of the Magic's salary space.

And the Celtics' outside main player is Paul. Pierce + Ray. Aaron's combination.

Although the two sides are almost equal in terms of wages and salaries, anyone can see which is stronger and which is weaker.

If he always maintains the peak of his career, the combination of Carter + Lewis will not lose to Pierce + Ray in the slightest. Allen's combination, but Carter and Lewis's form has dropped unbelievably this season, Carter has dropped from 20 points per game last season to 16 points, while Lewis has slipped from 17.7 to 14 points.

While their offensive form has dropped so much, these two players have not been known for their defensive skills.

Compared to the defensive attitude of Pierce and Ray, who have a positive attitude and solid fundamentals. Allen, since the beginning of his career, Carter and Lewis are not the kind of players who are good at defense, or they both prefer offense to defense, even if the Magic team is influenced by Van Gundy, they can't compare to the former in defensive ability.

Meanwhile, the Celtics also have a point guard Rajon Rondo, who averages 13.7 points and 9.8 assists per game.

In his third year with the Big Three, Rondo has fully grown, averaging 9.8 assists per game this season, ranking third on the assist list, and averaging 2.3 steals per game also ranks first on the steal list, making him the steal king this season.

The trio's perimeter defense is impregnable.

At the same time, the real defensive gate of the Celtics is Kevin at the power forward position. Garnett.

Since joining the Celtics, Garnett's stats have plummeted, averaging only 14.3 points and 7.3 rebounds per game this season, which doesn't look as gorgeous as the Wizards' power forward Jamison.

But no team in the league dares to underestimate Garnett, whose role with the Celtics has shifted from scoring offense to being a defensive striker.

Kevin at his peak. Garnett, who can defend from the No. 1 position to the No. 5 position, is not weaker in defense than the current Howard.

And now, although he is older and his athleticism is starting to decline, his rich experience has made Garnett's defensive ability as always, but the statistics cannot reflect it.

Wang Xiao knows that the Wizards team who play small-ball tactics are most afraid of Garnett's inside.

When facing a traditional interior player like Howard, the Wizards can let the players pull to the outside to shoot, effectively opening up the distance between them and Howard.

Unlike Howard, Garnett can follow up on the perimeter to defend when defending the Wizards, and at the same time, he can also help defend at any time.

In the face of such a Celtics team, if Curry is not injured, relying on the addition of the system, it is not without a hard fight.

However, in the absence of Curry's strong scoring point, it is difficult to defeat the opponent with Harden alone.

……

The facts are the same as Wang Xiao thought.

The first game with the Celtics, played on the home court of the Wizards, Wang Xiao did not give up the game, and deliberately used the tactical skill of "fixed-point jumper" before the game in order to strengthen the team's offensive efficiency.

However, the blessing of the system did not give the Wizards an advantage on the court.

The defensive intensity of the Celtics is completely different from that of the Magic.

Even with frequent pick-and-rolls, Wizards players struggle to find good shots from the outside.

Throughout the game, the Wizards were at a disadvantage, and the familiar small-ball tactics were fast and swift offense that didn't come out at all.

The opening match between the two teams also ended in a victory for Celtic.

In the next few games, Wang Xiao made a variety of attempts, but all of them were blocked by the Celtics without exception.

In the end, the total score of the series between the two teams was fixed at 4:1.

This is the end of Wang Xiao and his Wizards' first playoff trip.

……

Although they lost the game, no one blamed the Wizards, and in the absence of a main point guard, the Wizards have given them an extremely incredible performance.

After the final series, Celtics head coach Doug Murphy Murphy Murphy Celtics head coach Doug Celtics. Rivers said in an interview that he was very surprised and incredible about the performance of the Wizards this season, and that the young Wang Xiao and his young Wizards have unlimited possibilities, and they will be stronger next season and the future will belong to them.

The future will be theirs......

When he heard Rivers' words, Wang Xiao couldn't help but have a toothache.

This sentence reminded him of a world famous quote he said to James who led the team to the finals at the age of 22 when he was only 22 years old.

"The future is yours."

Seven years later, the 38-year-old Duncan faced the 29-year-old Heat team led by James and ruthlessly won the O'Brien Cup again with a score of 4:1.

James: So, what about the future of labor and management?

……

Rivers and the Celtics, of course, do not have the ability of Duncan and the Spurs to be as old and strong, in fact, this Finals, facing the Lakers they defeated two years ago, the Celtics finally lost after seven games.

Cole's revenge was successful, defeating the Celtics to lift his fifth O'Brien Cup and win his second career FMVP award.

After the Celtics lost to the Lakers, the Big Three are a year older, and their competitiveness is about to decline further.

Of course, all this has nothing to do with Wang Xiao anymore.

Since being eliminated by the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Wizards have been on vacation.

After a stressful season, everyone is waiting for the summer holidays.

The players began to leave the team one after another.

As the head coach, Wang Xiao's work is not over.

On June 24, the 10-year NBA Draft will officially begin.

As the head coach of the team and the person who also holds the power of the player trade draft, Wang Xiao naturally can't go home and sleep on vacation.

A rookie of 10 years, to be honest, there are not many good seedlings.

From another time and space, the one who has successfully played the price is none other than the champion John. Wall, No. 5 DeMarcus with the No. 5 pick. Cousins, the 10th pick in Paul. George, No. 9 Gordon. Hayward, and Hassan in the second round. Whiteside.

And now, due to the appearance of Wang Xiao, who has instigated the wings of the butterfly, Jeremy Lin, who has the Kidd growth template card, will also join the ranks of the top picks in the 10-year draft.

Wang Xiao doesn't know what kind of performance Jeremy Lin will have after joining the NBA, which is completely different from another time and space, but he thinks it should be more smooth sailing than Jeremy Lin in another time and space.
