For the Heat team, Wang Xiao can be said to be extremely despised strategically, but tactically, the Heat team is his most important opponent, after all, this is a team that has reached the Finals for four consecutive years and won the championship twice, and it is undoubtedly the top team in today's league.

Although the Big Three have been ridiculed by many people for two championships in four years, that can't hide the success of the Heat Big Three.

You must know that in the entire history of the NBA, there are only a few teams that have won three consecutive championships and established dynasties.

In the fifties of the last century, the Lakers in ancient times, Cardinal Auerbach and the Lord of the Rings Russell's eight-time championship Celtics, basketball god Jordan's two three-time Bulls, and the Lakers led by O'Neal and Kobe.

Other than that, no team has won three consecutive titles.

From this point of view, the two championships of the Heat Big Three in four years can be regarded as one of the most successful achievements of modern teams, after the Lakers won three consecutive championships, among all teams after the 21st century, there are only Kobe Bryant's two consecutive championships, the rising star Warriors' four years and three championships, and the Spurs, who have won a total of five championships throughout Duncan's entire career.

……

Wang Xiao's Wizards can be regarded as the team that studies the Heat the most in the league, throughout the regular season, the team from the head coach to every player, has watched countless video recordings of the Heat's games, 82 games are almost not lost, and after watching, the Heat's tactics and the technical characteristics and habits of each player must be analyzed.

It's fair to say that almost half or so of the Wizards' regular season focus is on the Heat.

So far in the playoffs, the Wizards have experienced three opponents, the Knicks, the Celtics and the Heat, but even if the Wizards study and analyze the Knicks and Celtics' tactical time combined, it is not as much time as it consumes to analyze the Heat's tactics.

To put it bluntly, the Wizards are the most familiar and knowledgeable of the Heat among the 30 teams in the league, except for the Heat themselves.

It is precisely because it takes a lot of time to study and think about how to deal with the Heat that when the two teams meet, the Wizards will play so well.

After the first series of the two teams, many Wizards players even felt that the Heat seemed to be better than the Celtics to deal with, at least the process of the game was not so difficult, especially in the last few games with the Celtics, the Wizards' usual fast-paced games could not be played at all, and they could only rely on George's stable mid-range shooting to score little by little, and in the end, the whole team scored only about 90 points.

Of course, everyone knows that this is just the beginning, and the Heat Big Three will definitely not sit idly by and watch the team sit still.

Sure enough, on May 19, in the second game of the series between the two sides, the Heat proved their resolve with a tough performance.

At 121:118, the Heat won their first game against the Wizards on the Wizards' home court.

After the whole game, James cut a triple-double of 31 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists, Wade scored 41 points, plus Bosh's 24 points, only the Big Three scored 96 points!

The Heat also relied on the supernatural performance of the Big Three to win the second game of the series.

On the Wizards' side, Curry's 28 points were the highest, followed by George's 25 points, Jamison's 17 points, and Butler's 13 points...... As someone may have noticed, there is no Harden's name in it.

Indeed, Harden played 33 minutes in this game, made 11 shots, hit 3 of them, scored only 9 points from the free throw line, and although he also handed out 6 assists, he had 4 fouls.

Compared to the efficient performance in the last game, it is more than a step worse.

The reason Harden plays so often is because the Heat shifted the focus of defense from Curry to him.

It turns out that Curry can't stop Curry without a good defensive player like Rondo, who can not only play offense with the ball, but also play without the ball, and if the defender stares too hard, he can also find open shots through running without the ball and teammates' pick-and-roll screens.

This...... Harden can't do it.

Although Wang Xiao has also deliberately cultivated Harden's off-ball offensive ability, it is clear that some players are born with talent.

Harden is destined to be a player who can play efficiently on offense with the ball, allowing him to play without the ball on the court, basically with Danny. Green doesn't make much of a difference, just standing on the outside wing and waiting to catch the ball and shoot threes.

So when Harden is on the court, the Wizards' ball is basically in his hands, and even Curry has to concede for him and play without the ball on the court, and the reason why Harden is still playing on the bench in his second season has a lot to do with this.

After trying to effectively limit Curry in the first game, although Spoelstra said after the game that he had to figure out a way to limit Curry or something, in the second game, he decisively changed his tactics and focused on Harden.

It turns out that dealing with Harden is much easier than dealing with Curry.

Of course, the reason why the Wizards lost the game, Harden's poor play was on the one hand, and the Wizards' failure to limit the play of the Big Three was on the other hand, allowing the Big Three to work together to score a high score of 96 points, which was already doomed to lose the game.

As soon as the Wizards lost, it was immediately different.

Countless media set up long guns and short guns, looking forward to how Wang Xiao, who was extremely calm in the face of the Heat, will make a statement, after all, losing a game at home is definitely not good news for the Wizards, and the next two games will be played at the home of the Miami Heat, and the game will only be more difficult at that time.

However, at the post-game press conference, Wang Xiao was still very calm.

"Well, the Heat finally got their first win against us, congratulations."

Such an attitude disappointed the long-awaited media reporters, and Wang Xiao did not show any emotions such as anger, panic or shame.

"Coach Wang Xiao, didn't you often say that defeating the Heat is as simple and ordinary as eating and drinking? But in this game, your team lost to the Wizards, and you don't have anything to say about that? ”

Some reporters were unwilling and took the initiative to attack.

Looking at this reporter, Wang Xiao was silent for two seconds, and then said, "That...... Have you ever eaten a bad stomach? ”

Reporter: "......"

I'm talking to you about eating a bad stomach or not eating a bad stomach?

Fortunately, Wang Xiaoyou continued to add.

"In our Chinese country, there is an old saying, called who doesn't eat dumplings during the New Year, which roughly means that even poor people can eat a hearty meal when celebrating the holidays, and this principle is also applicable in the NBA, even if it is the 72-win Bulls led by Jordan, hasn't they lost 10 games in the regular season?"
