If the Wizards only lost one game, then this series is still to be seen. However, when the big score became 2-0, it seemed that the Wizards had already been sentenced to death.

'03 was an unusual year, it was the year of Jordan's retirement, and it had its own significance.

The playoffs are full of dark horse elements, and the two teams in the finals have their own advantages.

The first two games of the Finals series were all played at the SBC Center, home of the Spurs, who have the best record in the league this season, and in the two games, the Wizards lost by eight points in the first game and just four points in the second.

Although they all lost games, it is clear that the Wizards are still competitive.

You must know that the current Wizards team can be said to be constantly worried inside, and there are strong Spurs opponents outside, in this case, the Wizards can play like this, which is enough to show that its own competitiveness cannot be low.

Considering the trouble the Wizards themselves have had in the Finals, this is undoubtedly a pity.

As a result, many people have thought that if the Wizards can unite and bring the morale and state of the Eastern Conference Finals to the Finals, will the results of the Finals be different?

Of course, there is no such thing as an if, and it has already happened.

The Wizards have lost 2 games in a row in the series, and they have no way back after falling behind 0-2, and the only way left for them is to win, and they will only have a chance if they continue to work hard to pursue victory.

Therefore, the home game of the third game is extremely important, and if they lose the game, it is self-evident that they will face the possibility of being eliminated after falling behind 0:3.

In fact, according to outside analysis, the main advantage of the Wizards and the Spurs is on the bench, and the Wizards' bench firepower is far stronger than that of the San Antonio Spurs, which is undeniable.

Wu Di, Tyronn Lue, Mike Dunleavy, Brandon Haywood and others are all players with great potential, and what they all have in common is offensive firepower and impact.

It can be said that when the Wizards' benches broke out, the deterrent power they showed was no less than that of the main forces.

Therefore, if you really talk about it, this round of the series between the Wizards and the Spurs, but in terms of the overall strength of the team, the Wizards are not much worse, and the play of both sides and the influence of external factors are the most important.

It is undoubtedly very regrettable that the Wizards have encountered external factors in the Finals.

Just talking about Wu Di's performance in the finals, it can only be said to be remarkable.

Aside from the twists and turns he has suffered, Wu Di is a player who still has his outstandingness.

In the first game, Wu Di, who played 17 minutes, contributed 11 points, 3 rebounds and 1 steal, because of the unhappiness with Starkhouse, he himself was a little out of shape, which can be seen from his activity on the offensive end.

In the second game, the Wizards obviously lost a little confidence in the average Starkerhouse in the first game, and Wu Di's playing time increased to a certain extent. However, in 22 minutes, Wu Di, who only contributed 10 points, 2 rebounds, 2 turnovers and 2 fouls in 3 of 11, was really disappointed.

Obviously, as all walks of life have said, Wu Di, as a rookie, has indeed been greatly affected by these two things during the finals.

As a result, the whole of Washington was in a state of confusion, the fans felt at a loss for the future, and the players were also struggling in a strange circle, and it was Starkerhouse, who was originally introduced by them as the future leader.

Fans began to hate Starkerhouse for ruining such a good opportunity for the team, and even more bitterly hated Starkerhouse's stupidity and ignorance for ruining a beautiful and brilliant season for the team.

After two terrible games, Washington began to swell with a wave of resistance and criticism of Starkerhouse.

For the fans, they want the team to punish such a selfish leader.

At the same time, the fans expressed sympathy for the innocent Wu Di, in their opinion, if there was no such influence, Wu Di would still be able to put on a better show on the stage of the finals and help the team, then, the result of the game is likely not to be what it is now.

After having this idea, Wizards fans began to use various ways and channels to help Wu Di decompress, and in their opinion, Wu Di did not make any mistakes.

And they encouraged Wu Di to get rid of the impact quickly to help the team make a last stand.

In fact, it's not just the fans who think this way, but the team's management and coaching staff also think this way.

After the second game, Jordan personally invited Wu Di to dinner, and the purpose was also to enlighten Wu Di, hoping that Wu Di, the best sixth man, could play without pressure.

For Jordan, the Finals weren't over. As a veteran on the court, he knows that there is still a long way to go after only two series, so his comfort to Wu Di is also the last fight for the seventh finals of his career.

For Wu Di, Jordan's sudden invitation is clearly an expression of his position. At this time, Stackhouse was not worthy of their excessive trust, so Wu Di felt that his opportunity was truly here.

Without suspense, without hesitation, he wants to express his expression, he wants to explode......

……

In the midst of all the anticipation, the finals came to a fork in the road, and at the MIC arena in Washington, D.C., the third game came as scheduled.

This is the first time that the arena has hosted the NBA Finals, and the fans in the stadium are enough to describe it as full.

However, the packed fans didn't seem to be able to express the expected huge momentum at this time, which made the opponent Spurs a little disdainful.

"See? The Spurs didn't seem to take the Wizards seriously at all, and Bruce Bowen had a mockery on his face, he wasn't afraid of the home fans' attacks. Barkley fanned the flames.

And Smith's whole person seems a little strict, which makes people wonder if it is because the Wizards are currently in danger that he has become like this.

Smith looked at the different conditions on both sides of the field, and the very different team atmosphere had already shown that this Finals had gone off course.

"Against a collapsed Wizards, I don't think the Spurs have any reason to be under pressure." Smith said with a sigh.

Barkley looked at Smith in surprise, and he seemed a little hard to imagine that this could come from the secret mouth of a wizard like Smith.

With a chuckle, Barkley said: "Actually, to be honest, if the Wizards can share the same hatred, I am really optimistic that this series can play more than 6 games, and now, I don't see any possibility for the Wizards to win." ”

Smith smirked dumbly, "Just because of the impact of those things? ”

Barkley nodded, noncommittal.

Smith said at this time: "Indeed, the Wizards are not like a team anymore, it violates the teamwork of the basketball game itself, and it seems that there is really no chance." But, Charles, don't we feel like we've been ignoring someone all along? ”

"Who?" Barkley was surprised, his face puzzled.

Smith pointed to Michael Jordan, who was practicing shooting with a solemn face, and whispered, "A great scorer, a great leader, a man who stands at the top of the basketball pyramid, even though he is 40 years old, I don't think there is any reason to ignore his ability to explode in the face of adversity." ”

It's not an exaggeration, Michael Jordan is a natural basketball player, especially in times of adversity, and his ability to explode is often much better than usual, which is why he is so charismatic.

At the critical moment, give the ball to Jordan. This is a phrase that has been circulating in the NBA for a long time, although it is not very obvious this season, but Jordan is really impossible to take lightly.

Barkley thought for a moment, then bowed his head and said, "It's not impossible for you to say this, I know my old friend Michael better than anyone else, he has the ability you said, if not better." ”

After a pause, Barkley changed his tone and said, "Do you think that one person can break out four games of that kind in a row?" If Michael was ten years younger, I'd like to believe it, but right now, I really don't think it's likely. ”

Listening to Barkley's words, Smithton was silent. Indeed, as Barkley said, how can the 40-year-old Jordan break out four games in a row...... It was unrealistic, but at the same time there was a hint of longing in his heart.

Listening to the hustle and bustle of the court, Kenny Smith's eyebrows were stained with a touch of melancholy, maybe it was really as Barkley said, the Wizards were on the verge of defeat and could not be saved.
