Chapter 158: Heat Again

Because of Wang Xiao's remarks in the interview, the game between the Wizards and the Heat has become the most watched game after the Christmas War, and even overshadowed the opening ceremony of the All-Star voting for a time.

Every year after the Christmas War, the first round of voting for All-Star Weekend begins.

The 2011 All-Star Weekend was hosted by Los Angeles, and both the Lakers and Clippers will be the main teams on the All-Star Weekend.

However, compared with the annual All-Star Weekend voting event, people are more curious about Wang Xiao's grievances with the Heat, and whether Wang Xiao can fulfill his promise to beat the Heat.

You must know that the current Heat team has changed a lot from before, there is more and more tacit understanding between the Big Three, and James and Wade are gradually beginning to find a balance between the two on the court at the same time.

This makes the firepower of the Big Three extremely terrifying, even the Lakers suffered a big loss against the Heat in the last game, and the outside defense of Kobe + Artest failed to limit the play of James and Wade.

Although Wang Xiao's Wizards team has the best record in the league, what certainty is there that they must win in the face of such a Heat triumvirate?

With countless people in the spotlight, the Miami Heat arrived at the Washington Wizards' home arena to prepare for what was supposed to be a very ordinary regular season game.

"Guys, this game, we have to win."

In the Heat's locker room, Spoelstra told the players: "We have lost to them once before at home, and this time, the opposing head coach has made even more excessive remarks, and if we still lose to each other in this situation, it will be a real disgrace!" ”

At the same moment, in the Wizards' home locker room, Wang Xiao said something similar.

"Before the fight, I already blew it out, and if I lose the fight, then I will lose face, and although I don't really value that, it will still make me feel bad if I lose face too much."

Saying this, Wang Xiao looked at George.

"Paul, at your request, you will be the starting team in this game, you have been performing very well during this time, and I hope you can continue your previous form in this game."

George nodded vigorously, "Yes!" Instructor! I will! ”

Subsequently, Wang Xiao did not explain too much tactics.

Since the beginning of the season, the Heat have been a key hypothetical opponent for the Wizards, and the technical characteristics and tactics of the Big Three have been thoroughly analyzed through a large number of game footage.

In this case, there is no point in continuing to talk about those things, and on the field, the players themselves are the most important thing.

Until then, there is one more thing he can do, and that is to choose a tactical skill to further improve the strength of the Wizards' side.

……

Soon, the players of both teams took the court one after another, and the DJ on the scene loudly explained the information of the Wizards' starting five.

When you read Paul. When George's name was named, many people were stunned.

George starting? What's the situation? Is Butler injured? Or are you going to take a rotational break? It's too much to take a break in such a crucial game, right?

However, Butler appeared on the field in a tracksuit to welcome the starters with his teammates, and it didn't look like he wasn't playing.

"It seems that Wang Xiao wants to strengthen the team's defense, so he let George, who has performed well in recent games, start." Some fans thought so, and then cheered for George loudly. "Young man! Come on! Fight well! ”

James heard George's name on the court, and his eyes flashed slightly.

James is still quite impressed by this first-year rookie, after all, not just any rookie dares to talk trash with him on the field, nor is it any rookie who will still persevere in pestering himself when he is completely defeated.

"This kid is going to start today...... What do you mean? Still want to fight me? ”

The corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and James couldn't help but laugh.

"Okay, in that case, I'll teach you how cruel the NBA really is."

The Wizards' starting sequence is usually that of the team's most senior Jamison, with Curry playing as the final finale.

The current Curry also fully deserves such treatment.

Neither Wizards fans nor the rest of the league have ever seen a point guard with such a strong scoring ability as Curry.

So far this season, Curry has averaged 27.2 points per game, ranking second on the scoring list, behind Durant with 28 points.

Curry has been able to make 4.3 three-pointers in every game and has been shooting around 44 percent from the field.

You know, this is just the second season of Curry's career! His career will go on for a long time!

A high-quality appearance, a maverick playing characteristic (three-point shooting) in the entire league, plus a super high score that ranks second on the scoring list.

These accolades have come together to give Curry a large number of fans.

Just two days into the first round of All-Star voting, Curry was already ahead of the Eastern Conference guards, even ahead of the Heat's Wade and the Bulls' Rose.

The 10-11 season can be said to be the pinnacle of Rose's career, in which he averaged 25 points and 7.7 assists per game, and led the Bulls to the best regular season record, and he was personally elected regular season MVP, becoming the youngest regular season MVP in league history.

However, because of Wang Xiao's birth, the current first place in the league is not the Chicago Bulls, but the Washington Wizards, although Rose's average data of 25 + 7.7 per game is amazing, it is only comparable to Curry, who averages 27.2 points + 6.8 assists per game.

In contrast, Curry and the Wizards' style of play is more enjoyable to fans.

There has always been an old saying in the League.

"Offense can win the box office, and defense can win championships."

Die-hard home fans aside, as a melon-eating crowd, no one wants to watch a dull defensive battle.

The Wizards' flashy offense is what they prefer to play.

Because of this, Curry is currently more popular than Rose.

When Curry appeared as the finale, the audience erupted in deafening cheers.

Curry also enjoyed the cheers, waving to the audience with open arms.

……

After the players were introduced, the two sides routinely made various pre-match preparations.

And the commentator who commented on the game began to popularize the highlights of the game to the audience in front of the TV.

“…… I believe that everyone is most interested in whether Wang Xiao and his Wizards team can defeat the Heat as he said, as simple as eating and drinking, and then, let's wait and see. ”
