In terms of strength, the Celtics triumvirate may have been far away from the Heat triumvirate, but the three old guys of the Celtics have a tacit understanding and cooperation that the Heat triumvirate does not have.

The regular season has been played for nearly 30 rounds, and the problem of the distribution of the ball of the Heat Big Three still exists, and the question of who should be the main ball carrier on the court is still debated between James and Wade, and Bosh is still the most despised and unlucky person who is the first to take the blame for losing.

At Celtic, that doesn't happen at all.

With the play of the Big Three, the Celtics tied the score before the end of the first quarter, and the two sides ended the first quarter with a score of 27-27.

After the start of the second quarter of the game, Wang Xiao made adjustments to the lineup.

Harden and George came on the court, while Butler and Jamison were rested.

With George on the floor, the Wizards began to pick up the pace.

At this time, the five players on the Wizards court are Curry, Harden, and Danny. Green, George and Jordan Jr., when the Wizards with such a lineup began to deliberately speed up the pace of the game, the Celtics immediately struggled to parry, especially when the old shark O'Neal, who signed a base salary contract with the Celtics this season, came on the court, and the slow movement speed simply couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the Wizards.

The small-ball tactics used by the Wizards are, after all, tactics ahead of this era, even if Wang Xiao used this tactic to get all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals last season, there are still few teams that can successfully crack this tactic.

At the end of the half, the difference widened to more than 10 points.

The Celtics, for their part, still haven't given up on the game.

In the regular season, the Celtics' Big Three were reserved most of the time, and their average minutes and shots per game were not particularly high, but they didn't want to give up easily in a key game like this.

After the start of the third quarter, led by Garnett, the Celtics once again launched an onslaught against the Wizards.

The point difference was gradually caught up little by little, and the score was successfully completed with about four minutes left in the third quarter.

However, at this time, Curry stepped up again.

Two three-point shots, plus one shot to the basket for a foul and two free throws.

scored 8 points in a row in an instant, and the score that the Celtics had finally moved back was pulled away again.

When the whistle blew at the end of the third quarter, Rivers stood on the sidelines with a grim expression.

He has found that the Wizards' offense is sharper than last season, which is mainly reflected in the further improvement of Curry and Harden's individual abilities.

With Rondo and Ray alone. Allen's one-on-one defense is no longer enough to limit the attack of these two.

On the other hand, what made him even more shocked was that the Wizards' defense had improved significantly compared to last season.

This is no longer a team with strong offense and weak defense, with great weaknesses, but a team that is the best in the league in attack and has excellent defensive ability!

There are two reasons for this, one is that the arrival and growth of Paul George has given the team a cutting-edge defensive force.

The second is assistant coach Steve Brown. Credit to Cole.

Wang Xiao's judgment was indeed not wrong, Kerr's arrival allowed the Wizards to maintain strong offensive firepower while also beginning to take care of their defense, and the players' awareness of supplemental defense and defense when switching between offense and defense on the court has increased significantly.

But because this change has only recently begun to show up, many teams haven't even noticed it.

If anyone pays attention to big data, they will be surprised to find that when the time enters mid-December, the Wizards' average points per game began to decline, and by the day of the Christmas game, the Wizards' average points per game this season had dropped to 98, ranking 12th in the league.

The 98 points per game is nothing in front of the Celtics, who have conceded 91.1 points per game so far, which is the best in the league, and even the Bulls can only be second in this regard.

However, the Wizards are averaging 115 points per game, which is as high as the Celtics' average points per game!

By comparison, the Celtics' 96.5 points per game are only outside the league's top 20.

The numbers don't speak for the results, but they do tell us a lot!

In the fourth quarter of the game, the Celtics once again persevered in launching a counterattack, but this time, the Celtics failed to do so.

The physical fitness of the Big Three really went wrong in the fourth quarter, Pierce missed a series of outside shots, and Garnett failed to make up for the Wizards players in the first time due to physical fitness several times.

By the middle of the fourth quarter, the margin had once again widened to over double digits and continued to widen.

Seeing that the general trend was gone, Rivers did not bother and directly replaced the Big Three and Rondo.

What is strange is that seeing that the Celtics gave up the game, Wang Xiao did not replace all the main forces at the first time, but left a Butler on the court.

The two sides ended the last few minutes of the game tepidly, and finally fixed the score at 105:92.

The Celtics lost to the Wizards by 13 points.

Wang Xiao and his team got their wish and won this crucial game.

It wasn't until the end of the game that Wang Xiao breathed a long sigh of relief.

"This guy...... It's exciting. ”

With a big gamble of 5,000 win points, the pressure is really high.

Although the Wizards had the advantage throughout this game, it was not a crushing without suspense, and the Celtics had the ability to come from behind at any time, which made Wang Xiao tremble all the time.

If he loses the game, he will lose all his money, and this is no joke.

has already reaped a wave of milestone rewards, and now the only milestone that Wang Xiao can achieve this season is the milestone task of reaching 100 career regular season wins.

In order to ensure that the item rewards that appear in the prediction system at any time, he must stock up on some victory points in case of emergency, after all, S-class items such as physical recovery potions have no low wagering requirements.

The rewards obtained by winning alone are not even enough for the players' daily training consumption, let alone maintaining the special training consumption of Curry and the other three.

Of course, behind the huge risks, there are returns.

When the whistle blew at the end of the game, Wang Xiao received a prompt from the system, and the reward for guessing the S-level Dao specific recovery potion had arrived, and Wang Xiao could use it on his team members at any time.

At the same time, the 5,000 victory points that Wang Xiao bet on were also returned to his account.
