"It's just one last step."

Getting on the plane back to Washington, Wang Xiao couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Since joining the league to coach the Wizards, Wang Xiao's biggest opponent in his heart is the Big Three of the Heat.

James reached his peak in the 10-11 season with the Big Three with Wade Bosh and went on to reach the Finals eight years in a row, and although he only won three championships, his dominance in the East was unmatched.

From the Mavericks, Thunder, Spurs to the Warriors in the West, it can really be described as an iron-clad Zhan Huang and a strong team in the flowing water.

The Wizards are located in the East, so they will inevitably be unable to avoid James, and they can beat James in order to stand out from the East.

The Wizards did it last season, but that's because the Heat's Big Three had just been formed, and they didn't work well with each other.

And this season, James, who should have won the regular season MVP, can be regarded as the strongest state, and the Wizards can take a 3-1 lead in the face of the strongest James, which is enough to show how strong the Wizards are now.

Stephen. Curry, Paul. George, Kawai. Leonard, these are the superstars who can be ranked in the top 10 in the future league, and Curry and Leonard can even be ranked in the top five.

Clay. Thompson & Jimmy. Butler is also a consistent top-20 player.

The future doesn't mean the present, just like Jimmy. Butler is now only available as a bench player on the team, and he has to be replaced by Chandler. Parsons squeezed into the shooting guard position.

However, under the accelerated training of the system training module, the strength of several people can be compared with non-rookie players.

The combination of excellent players and the small-ball style of play that leads the league today, coupled with the hoarding of forward lines against James, is what makes it so easy for the Wizards to face the Heat.

The current lineup of the Wizards team is extremely reasonable in Wang Xiao's opinion, and the probability of winning the championship this season is very high, and after winning the championship, what the Wizards need to do is to try to maintain the existing lineup.

This is a bit difficult, Curry and George according to the current performance, it can almost be said that the salary is the top, Thompson and Leonard although this season is a little inferior, but in terms of their future growth, the contract must not be small.

Giving four players a big contract may not be much for a deep-pocketed team like the Trail Blazers or the Nets, but the Wizards may not be overwhelmed.

What's more, the maximum salary contract does not represent absolute temptation, there may only be one main core of a team, and the rest may not be willing to be a foil forever, like George, Leonard and others, all have the ability to be the main core of a team, and now the core of the Wizards team is Curry, and the tactics and playing style of the entire team almost revolve around Curry, and now other people have no ideas, but over time, with the increase of honor and ability, they must want to pursue more things, such as being the boss of a teamIt's human nature.

Therefore, the peak period of this lineup is only three to four years, and the chance to win the championship with this lineup is only this time, so we must seize the time.

……

In the fifth game of the Eastern Conference Finals, the court returned to the home court of the Wizards, and the game of the day was full, and the Wizards fans were waiting for the moment when the team won this game and advanced to the Finals again.

But the process is a little bit tortuous.

It may be that the last game made a big move that caused the skill to enter the reading bar, and at the beginning of this game, Curry did not feel good, and several attempted three-point shots were all off the basket.

On the other side, James, who was cornered, also fought for his life and showed all his skills on the field.

In the first quarter of the game, Curry scored only 4 points, while James scored 15 points and 4 assists in a single quarter, leading the Heat to a double-digit lead.

In the second quarter of the game, James and Wade complemented each other, and the firepower rose again, making the difference widen, and when the half ended, the score of the two teams was 57:41, and the Wizards trailed by 16 points at home.

Fortunately, at halftime, Wang Xiao made some adjustments to stabilize the situation, and when the substitute lineup came on the field, Jamison stood up and caught up with the score little by little with a deadly shot.

By the time the two teams returned, the difference had been narrowed to within 10 points.

At this time, Curry finally found his touch, hitting two three-pointers in a row, scoring six points in a row, and almost tied the score difference in one fell swoop.

Spoelstra had to call a timeout to stabilize the situation, but after the timeout returned, the Heat still needed to rely on James to organize the offense.

However, at this time, James's physical fitness, as in the previous games, has reached the limit.

There is no way to do this, and if he wants to resist the Wizards' sharp offense, James must ensure the quality of the offense on the court.

Under the kraft candy entanglement of Leonard and others, it is almost impossible to conserve physical strength.

And with the loss of physical energy, mistakes are inevitably increased.

James first failed to grasp the ball and went out of bounds when he broke through with the ball, and then made an early steal on another pass that George recognized.

Two consecutive turnovers allowed the Wizards to seize the opportunity to play a fast break and overtake the score in one fell swoop.

When the two teams tie the score, it seems to mean that it is over.

Although the Heat players are struggling to chase the score, an atmosphere of near-despair has spread within the team.

By the second half of the fourth quarter, the score had completely reversed, and the Wizards led the Heat by 13 points at 98-85.

……

When the whistle blew at the end of the game, Curry, who was in possession of the ball, threw the ball high into the air, followed by cheers and a salute of colored flowers.

The Wizards won the Eastern Conference championship for two consecutive years and advanced to the Finals, which is an unprecedented moment in the entire history of the Wizards!

"Bang!"

In a box, Riley looked gloomy and slammed his fist on the table in front of him.

For two years in a row! actually lost to a rookie team composed of rookie coaches for two consecutive years! Are you kidding?

When the Heat's Big Three were formed, Riley was a man of great shape, proving that he could succeed not only as a head coach, but also as a team's general manager.

It should have been the same, forming the Big Three, winning the championship, forming a dynasty, and achieving success......

And yet it was all ruined by a damn Huaxia man!

The Big Three fell on the field of the East Finals for two consecutive years, which is absolutely not allowed, no matter what the fame is, what defines the strength of a team is the result after all, and if you can't win the championship, it's a failure.

If Riley's triumvirate never wins the championship, then he, the general manager, will not be praised, but ridiculed...... Because in the summer of 07, he missed the ghost coach from Huaxia!
