The Wizards' winning streak has become a hot topic, and suddenly there is a rhetoric that the Wizards are concentrating too many superstars and are extremely unfair to the rest of the teams.

This rhetoric in particular has garnered a lot of support, and even President David Stern was alarmed, and he was asked this awkward question at the MVP ceremony.

Stern's heart is still leaning towards the Wizards, but this inclination is also based on the ratings of the Wizards' games along the way.

Since the first round, the Wizards' game ratings have been stable at over 10.0%, which is a very high statistic for a normal playoff game. Unless it's two rivals, it's rare to have more than 10.0% ratings in the first three playoff rounds.

Compared with the bull and horse war next door, it only has a rating of 4.35%. This speaks volumes about how many Wizards fans there are.

If at the beginning, everyone was still questioning and worried, then now everyone can't help but cheer for the old guys of the Wizards.

When Ewing, 41, Barkley, 42, Rodman, and Tim Hardaway, 37, arrived at the Wizards, most fans had two mindsets.

One is extremely incomprehensible, is it necessary for a veteran of such an age to come back, I'm afraid that I will have to gasp for breath if I dribble twice more.

The other is indifference, just a group of old men, and the current alliance has changed.

Now that the Wizards have won the league's first playoff game and are currently on a nine-game winning streak in the playoffs, real fans have turned into admiration even if they have doubts.

It's normal for the Wizards to be upset by a sudden upsurge, and they've touched the interests of too many teams. Looking at it this way, it's normal for someone to dislike the Wizards.

In response to the Wizards' unstoppable winning streak, Spinach even opened a special handicap.

The odds for the Wizards to win their 12-game streak are as low as 11 to 10, which means that the professional evaluators at Spinach also believe that it is only a matter of time before the Wizards sweep the Nets to advance.

The odds of the Wizards' 16-game winning streak are 1 to 3, which is also a very curious odds for the team, after all, it is very risky to bet on the Wizards to win 7 games in a row to win the championship.

If Hu Qingniu couldn't be involved as a coach, he would have at least made a big bet on the Wizards' 12-game winning streak.

There's a reason why the Nets aren't favored, and the point is that their leader is a point guard and not a strong insider.

People talk a lot about how difficult it is for a point guard to lead a team to a championship. In recent decades, only magicians and assassins have been able to get their hands on them. And the Magic's stature makes people want to think that this is a point forward, and the Assassins' Pistons have a group of good helpers on the side, and the conditions are too demanding.

One has to admit that, at least for now, basketball is still a sport that is primarily about height and figure.

Due to the limited size, the point guard is also easy to be locked by the opponent's big defense. It can be said that the point guard is one of the most restrictive positions, so the performance of the point guard nucleus in key moments is usually discounted. For example, in the '98 Eastern Conference Finals, when Pippen went to face Mark Jackson, who made 14 turnovers in two games, the Pacers also lost.

What's more classic is the later generation of Rose, who just snatched the MVP from LeBron, was personally marked by LeBron in the fourth quarter of the Eastern Conference Finals, and the result was that Rose kept making mistakes and was beaten by the Heat.

When the three-point line is not considered, the closer you are to the basket, the closer you are to victory.

In the first game of the Wizards Nets, Kidd, the brain of the Nets, was locked up by the taller Jordan, which caused the situation to become very passive. Scott made the only effective response, but he also disrupted the team's rhythm and lost the key to victory.

Compared with the Wizards, the matchup between the Spurs and the Mavericks has been cold and fierce since Duncan scored 53 points in the regular season and left a stunner at the American Airlines Arena.

When asked about his performance in the last game, Dirk said with a hint of sarcasm.

"I look surprisingly tough," Dirk said. For the second half of his sentence 'For a European. 'Foreshadowing.

"Don't you think that's an interesting label even today? He's a European, he's a softass," Nowitzki said with a smile after discussing what happened to him after a training session.

"It's funny, and although I'm always considered a softie, I never take it personally."

Soft eggs. Nowitzki is one of the most well-known in the league for wearing this label.

After the Spurs narrowly lost to the brave Mavericks three days ago, the difference between the two teams was stark to the fore.

It was an exciting win for the non-conformist, questionable Mavericks, but for the Spurs, a team that had no wave, only eyes on the championship, they more or less put the loss behind them.

"Whether it's angry, angry, or excited, he always has that expression. But he is our leader, and we trust him. ”

Tony Parker appealed to the camera, and of course the protagonist of his words was Duncan, a basketball superstar like no other.

Duncan doesn't seem to like being in front of the media, so most of the reports about him are comments from teammates.

However, during the off-court break, the big boy always likes to pat Tony Parker's ass and touch Manu Ginobili's head.

Duncan was such a silent and convincing leader that he didn't yell after the loss, he just took the responsibility on his shoulders and patiently prepared for the next game.

In order to extend the playoff time, the Eastern Conference game had a bye for one day, so three days later, the game that appeared in front of the TV again was still a bull and horse battle.

It is unknown whether there is a reason why the league thinks that the Wizards are too strong and can win by a large score and make the Eastern Conference schedule too short.

The Spurs are not an easy opponent to deal with, and the Dallas cowboys already know about it. They have done a lot of preparation for this, the most of which is to limit Duncan's strategy.

We don't know how much effort the Cowboys put into restricting Duncan, but we can only see from the results that the Cowboys lost.

The Spurs won the second home game of the series, 119-106.

There is no doubt that it was Duncan who took control of the game!

With a game-high 35 points and 15 rebounds, plus 5 assists and 3 blocks, even Hu Qingniu in front of the TV couldn't help but have a headache, this is a troublesome opponent.

Nowitzki seems to have become a soft egg again, although he is also 20+10 data on the outside, but the shooting rate of 40% is not enough to win.
