It doesn't really matter whether the winner of the Western Conference Finals is the Spurs or the Trail Blazers, because they are slightly less powerful than the Wizards.

The Spurs are without defensive snag Leonard, and the Trail Blazers have a flawed bench lineup, a far cry from last year's Mavericks.

Basically, the Wizards can win the Finals as long as they can get past the Heat!

This season, the positioning of the Heat's Big Three has changed dramatically.

Last season's Eastern Conference finals hit the Big Three more than the loss of another time and space finals, so after the start of the new season, Wade simply gave up the ball, allowing James to maximize his ability, while he concentrated on being the second leader.

As for Bosh, he more calmly accepted the work of the third firepower point plus the pot man, and was sincere and sincere.

Such a clear division of labor of the Big Three is already a bit of the tacit understanding of the Celtics' Big Three, and the power is far greater than last season's state of fighting separately.

While the Big Three became more difficult, Haslem returned from injury within the team. Miller is also gradually regaining some of the Sixth Man of the Year form, plus a strong role player, Sean Brown. The addition of Battier has improved the strength of the Heat's bench lineup to a certain extent, although it is not comparable to the Wizards' luxurious bench lineup, but it has also reached the league average.

The Heat, who have a Big Three, don't need a bench to score many points, as long as they don't lose too many points and it's the Big Three's turn to come on, that's the Heat's advantage.

So if you want to deal with the current Heat, there are two things that must be done.

First, take advantage of the depth of the bench lineup and widen the gap in the time of the bench.

Second, do a good job of restricting James.

If there is no Curry, James will win the regular season MVP for the third time this season, and win the championship trophy and Finals MVP in the playoffs with super statistics of 30 points, 9.7 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game.

Wang Xiao is fully prepared.

On the bench, Jamison, Cuarón. Butler leads Beverley, Parsons and others, and the firepower must be much more than the Heat's bench.

In terms of restricting James, I believe that Leonard and George will definitely be able to satisfy Wang Xiao.

Besides, the Wizards' forward line is so luxurious, and there is Cuaron under Leonard and George. Butler, Jimmy. Butler, Chandler. Parsons and several people are gearing up, even if it is hard to consume, they will consume James to death!

……

The outside media is generally optimistic about the two teams in the East Finals.

Although the Wizards eliminated the Heat's Big Three in the Eastern Conference finals last season, although Curry won the regular season MVP for a second consecutive year, although the Wizards have a lot of talent on the team.

But after all, the Heat have the league's top partner of James + Wade, and people always don't want to believe that the combination of these two leagues can be ranked in the top five will not be able to beat a group of recruits with an average age of only 25 years old.

The first game between the two sides was played on May 28 at the MCI Center, home of the Wizards.

As the team with the league's best record, the Wizards have home-court advantage against any team in the playoffs.

Before the game, Wang Xiao did not do any special mobilization, because he did not want to create pressure on the players.

Although the Heat is the biggest enemy in this playoffs, for the Wizards, as long as the players are playing normally, the Heat is not an opponent.

Therefore, Wang Xiao behaved very easily, even indifferently, what to pay attention to when playing against the Heat, and what kind of targeted play should be used, when they met several times in the regular season, they had already taught the Wizards players many times, and they knew very well what to do.

When deciding on the use of system tactical skills before the game, Wang Xiao chose the card position master after careful consideration.

The Wizards averaged 41.7 rebounds per game this season, ranking 20th in the league, and without Jordan Jr., George took on the power forward position again, making the Wizards' protection of rebounds plummet.

But the Heat aren't getting any better, averaging 40.3 rebounds per game that ranks fifth from bottom in the league.

Although Bosh can average 20+10 per game when he is with the Raptors, he is not a rebounding master. Anthony averaged a measly 3.9 rebounds per game in the regular season.

Although the Wizards are not strong in rebounding, after all, there are two big men, McGee and Whiteside, and after using the card master skills, the two are enough to crush all the interior blue-collar workers of the Heat, and have an absolute advantage in rebounding.

The famous center Akagi Goken once said that only by being able to control the rebounds can you control the game, and against the Heat, this will also be a big advantage for the Wizards to win.

In the first game, the starting lineup on the Wizards' side was Stephen. Curry, Klay. Thompson, Cowai. Leonard, Paul. George & Javier. Mcgee.

The starting lineup of the Heat is Mario. Chalmers, Dwayne. Wade, LeBron. James, Sean. Battier & Chris. Bosh.

Since the Heat entered the playoffs, they have given up the traditional center starter and replaced Bosh as the starting center, allowing Battier to take the position of power forward.

This is also something that can't be helped, the Heat's center is too scummy, Joel. Anthony has to be tall but not tall, to have speed but not speed, except that a little stronger strength can help protect the rebound, it can be called useless, and he can't even eat cakes.

In contrast, Sean. Battier's rebounding ability is better than Joel's. Anthony is a little worse, but other aspects can be said to be a complete explosion.

On the defensive end, Battier's single-defense and defensive ability is among the league's first-class, and on the offensive end, Battier also has a three-point shot with a good shooting percentage. The most consistent three-point shooter under Miller.

Such a Heat lineup also has a bit of a shadow of small-ball tactics.

The Wizards have been playing small-ball in the league for three seasons, and their quick transition between offense and defense, and a large number of three-point shots have made the whole league gradually realize the advantages of this tactic, and many teams lacking strong centers have begun to follow suit.

The Heat are undoubtedly one of the most similar teams to imitate.

At least purely from the perspective of the Heat's starting lineup, this team will definitely not run much slower than the Wizards, even faster, more destructive, after all, James and Wade are far from being able to compare with Curry and others, and Zhan Wei is currently the fastest and most defensive counterattack in the league.

……

At the beginning of the game, McGee easily defeated Bosh with a jump ball, dialed the basketball to Curry, who advanced to the front court with the ball, and then called for a pick-and-roll, using McGee's pick-and-roll to form a dislocation, and singled Bosh to rush into the basket and score a layup.
