Chapter 247: Another One Pops Up?

I have to admit that Cameron. Anthony vs. LeBron. James is a bit easier to deal with.

On the offensive end, Anthony is known as an offensive kaleidoscope, and his offensive means are much richer than James's, but he does not have the ability of James to drop ten times, and Leonard, who has excellent defensive awareness and skills, is obviously better defensive.

And on the defensive end, Anthony can't compare to James.

James has been named to the All-Defensive Team six times in his career, while Anthony has not even been named once, Anthony is talented on the offensive end, but not very good in terms of individual skills or attitude.

Leonard doesn't have a lot of offensive means, and if he faces James, he probably doesn't have much room to play at all, but against Anthony, there is no such problem at all.

In the first quarter, while shooting 2 of Anthony's 8 shots, Leonard held the ball many times, relying on speed and recklessness, and actually broke through successfully under Anthony's defense, and scored 6 points on 4 of 5 shots.

The fact that the offensive end can still perform at a good level while limiting the opponent on the defensive end will undoubtedly help Leonard play more confidently.

Seeing this, Wang Xiao was not stingy, and directly pursued the victory, allowing Leonard to increase the number of shots in the second quarter.

Leonard is no stranger to this situation, in the first few games, even if the offensive efficiency is not high, Leonard is second only to Curry in the number of shots in the Wizards, and this time, facing Anthony, Leonard feels like he is playing more easily than in the previous games.

By halftime, Leonard had scored 17 points and was shooting 67 percent from the field.

In comparison, Anthony, who was almost the whole match with Leonard, only scored 12 points and shot more than 40% from the field!

In this half of the game, Leonard actually suppressed Anthony the whole time!

If this is the result of the confrontation between George and Anthony, many people can still express their understanding, after all, after last season's experience, George's personal ability has been greatly improved, whether it is Anthony or James, the league's top small forwards, can come and go.

But now opposite Anthony is the rookie of the Wizards, first-year rookie Kewai. Leonard.

What kind of team is this Wizards, after Curry, Harden, George, and now there is another Leonard, which is too exaggerated, right?

By the end of the half, the gap between the two teams had widened to about 20 points, and the Knicks' luxurious Big Three lineup could almost be described as defenseless against the Wizards.

Stoudemire was injured, Anthony was suppressed by a first-year rookie, and Delon. Although Williams can use the weight advantage to snatch Curry against him, with Wang Xiao arranging to change defenses, Thompson replaced Curry to target Delon, and Delon's good days came to an end.

Thompson is taller and stronger than Delon, and although DeLong can still score in the face of such a defense, he is not much more efficient than Anthony.

As the game entered the third quarter, the suspense was completely gone.

Caron. Butler, Jamison and others began to exert their strength on the bench, and directly beat the Knicks bench with a wave of 12:2, and the difference widened to more than 30 points.

Such a huge point difference made the Knicks surrender early and replace all the main forces.

In the end, the score between the two sides was fixed at 121:96, and the Wizards beat the Knicks by 25 points, while Leonard, who shot 10-of-17 from the field and shot 59% from the field, scored a game-high 28 points for the Wizards.

Anthony, who was almost the same as Leonard, scored 18 points on just over 40% shooting and was completely defeated.

"Another Paul. The Rise of George? How many geniuses are there on the Wizards? ”

"Leonard shows suffocation defense, Anthony is at a loss!"

"28 points, a career high, will Leonard be a strong scorer for the Wizards?"

Leonard's outburst sent a stir through the league and the media.

You must know that March is almost over, and April will also be the last month of the regular season, each team has less than 20 games left, and most of the other teams are consolidating the existing lineup and style of play to prepare for the playoffs later, except for the Wizards, there are still rookies emerging at this time.

Curry, George and Thompson alone are enough to give teams across the league a headache, and now it's a bit too difficult to analyze and study Leonard's style of play.

Others are amazed by others, Wang Xiao cares about you?

He has only one goal this season, and that is to win the championship, and there is only one team that threatens the way to the championship this season, and that is the Miami Heat.

This season's James is very different from last season, and George alone is definitely not an opponent.

Even if it's just for James, Wang Xiao will definitely develop Leonard's ability, and when the time comes, Leonard and George will take turns to serve, and see if they are afraid.

Not even just George and Leonard, but also Chandler on the Wizards' bench. Parsons and two Butlers are spare tires, although they may not be as strong as George and Leonard, but when they focus all their energy on defense, they can certainly cause some problems for James.

As for the West, because Wang Xiao selected Durant in the Trail Blazers, it is not easy for him to judge which team can break out of the West, but according to the current situation, the Trail Blazers with Durant, Aldridge and Jordan Jr. are obviously more advantageous, and the young and energetic are the similarities between this Trail Blazer and the 12-year Thunder in another time and space.

Wang Xiao is not worried about the West, although Durant is strong, but compared to James, it is more than enough for George Leonard to deal with it, and the Trail Blazers can't deal with the Wizards' Curry and Thompson.

Speaking of the sky, the Wizards' opponent this season is still only the Miami Heat......

In the remaining games in March, the Wizards won all of them without any suspense, and the victory came to 40-11.

With a 78% win rate, the Wizards remain firmly in the first place in the league, while the Bulls and Spurs can only be relegated to second place.

With only 15 games left until the end of the regular season, no one doubts that the Wizards will continue to have the best record in the league this season, after all, the Bulls and Spurs, who are closest to their records, are also close to a three-game win difference with the Wizards.

Unless the Wizards collapse in April, they will definitely not easily cede the top spot in the league.

This is too unlikely, the Wizards are most angry with other teams, is the luxurious bench lineup, this season as of the end of March the Wizards played 51 games, almost all of the five starters have been rested, and not 1 game 2 games rest, an average of about 5 games per person.

In terms of physical reserves, many teams have more veterans over the age of 30 than these rookies with an average age of 24.
