But this is the kind of moment when the team needs star players to come out and solve the problem, the fans don't care who is opposite you, and even in the eyes of most fans, if the defensive player is stronger, the stronger the morale of the goal!

The ball has been passed to DeRozan, his teammates have also pulled away, the posture is out, the cheers and atmosphere of the fans on the scene are here, even if DeRozan wants to shirk it too late, so he has to bite the bullet!

It's all coming!

DeRozan dribbled the ball closer to the three-point line, and then a change of direction broke inside, but the change did not shake off Leonard, who was still firmly in the defensive position and did not lose his position at all.

If it breaks through like this, this ball layup must be capped, either by Leonard or by the interior player.

DeRozan also knows in his heart that in the face of a defensive master like Leonard, it is impossible to get rid of it with a simple change of direction, so his goal is not to attack the basket, but to get to the three-point line.

As we all know, DeRozan's lifelong enemy is the three-point line, and sometimes even if he can score one more point with a small step back, he still likes to throw such inefficient long two-point points.

After coming to the middle distance, DeRozan made a sharp stop, then faked a turn, and Leonard stopped at the same time, keeping his long arms open in front of DeRozan.

DeRozan made a feint to shoot, but the facial paralysis only took a step forward, raised his arms high, and did not jump, in desperation, DeRozan turned around again, Leonard followed a sliding step, and still didn't jump!

If you turn down again, you will either lose your center of gravity or walk, DeRozan is depressed and directly pulls up the shot, but those big hands are like kraft candy, where the ball is, the hand follows.

In the end, DeRozan shot the iron, and the fans at the Raptors' home court were excited for a long time!

Li Kaiming picked up the rebound, dribbled across the half court by himself, faced Johnson's defense, and hit a mid-range emergency stop after an acceleration pass!

After a few rounds, the fans at the scene reacted, DeRozan was full of firepower when Leonard did not defend him, and a fierce batch, but after Leonard played against him, DeRozan immediately became dumb......

From Leonard's arrival to halftime, DeRozan, who scored 16 points in the first quarter, did not score a point, and the Raptors also trailed by four points from a seven-point lead at the beginning to halftime.

During the break, Sanders also praised Leonard's defence in the dressing room and his approach to the game.

"I didn't expect this kid to be quite responsible!" Looking at the silent facial paralysis next to him, Li Kaiming also laughed.

After a twenty-minute half-time break, the second half began quickly.

Because of Leonard's excellent performance in the first half, Sanders decided to continue to switch defenses on the defensive end of the defensive end in the second half.

And Coach Casey on the Raptors' side also responded, that is, let the rest of the Raptors cover DeRozan, find a misplaced single, or play a block and split a duo.

But DeRozan is a swingman after all, not a pure point guard, who can barely pass the ball out and not make mistakes when faced with a bag or other complicated situations.

Coach Casey really wants his passing to drive the team's offense.

Besides, Casey underestimated Leonard's best defensive formation too much, and if a cover could offset a best defensive formation, then this defensive formation would be too worthless.

DeRozan did not reach the level expected by the coach and fans, after Leonard took over him, DeRozan's level plummeted instantly, both the scoring efficiency and the number of points scored decreased significantly, the mistakes increased, and even the ability to make fouls could not be played!

At the end of the game, Leonard was a key factor in helping the Wizards win 112-94 over the Toronto Raptors on the road, bringing the series to 3-0.

In the fourth game two days later, Sanders still asked Leonard to play against DeRozan, and Coach Casey couldn't think of an effective way to crack it in the face of such a simple defensive change tactic.

As for letting the Raptors' small forward play Thompson's misalignment, it wasn't thought of from the beginning.

Regardless of whether Terrence Ross, a man who averages 10 points per game, has the level to eat so many balls, even if he does, Thompson can completely guard him.

Although Thompson played at the No. 2 spot with the Wizards, his strong underboard and solid physique allowed him to swing to the No. 3 position without any loss, and even occasionally hit the top against the power forwards of some teams.

In this case, the Wizards are not afraid of your Raptors' misplaced singles at all, because they have enough quality to deal with it all.

And DeRozan, under the careful care of Leonard's full-court care, also managed to play the worst game of the series, he shot 4 of 18, 3 of 3 free throws, scored 11 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 4 turnovers, and sent a large-scale turnover with a very low shooting rate......

And Thompson, after not having the burden of defense, has also warmed up to a normal level on the offensive end.

As for Li Kaiming, after Hum Ha Er's offense and defense became his right-hand man, he just had to be himself, and in the fourth game, he scored a quasi-triple-double of 29 points, 14 rebounds, 9 assists and 4 blocks, leading the Wizards to sweep the Raptors 4-0 and become the first team to advance to the division finals this year.

Leonard got 14 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 steals all over the court, which looks like average statistics, but this data doesn't reflect his damage to DeRozan at all!

Thompson hit four three-pointers and finished with 17 points and two rebounds, and the Wizards' No. 1 scorer off the ball deserved his name.

After the game, the players of both sides greeted each other, and Li Kaiming smiled and hugged his good brother Elliott Williams.

"Look, I'll just say don't be complacent, you'll laugh until next season......"

Williams pouted, "You don't really give your brother a little face, it's really a sweep when you say a sweep, and it's too ruthless, if you do that, I'm going to support your opponent in the East Showdown!" ”

"If you're not afraid of disappointment, then support it as much as you like!"

Williams was speechless, "I'll rub it, you guy is really arrogant, but you really have this arrogant capital, I'll go to Washington in a few days to cheer you on!" ”

Li Kaiming squeezed his eyebrows and said, "No way, if you have strength, you can do whatever you want." ”

The Wizards were the first to advance to the Division Finals, which gave them peace of mind at home as they prepared for the next round while watching their opponents perform.

The next decisive outcome was the West's Spurs and Trail Blazers, the old Spurs fully demonstrated the power of team basketball, 4-1 Gentlemen swept the Trail Blazers, waiting for the final opponent in the West.

The remaining two sets of duels have been played to the sixth game, and with the blessing of this year's new vertical jump rules, Roy Hibbert, the best defensive level, directly incarnated as "Gao Yuanyuan", plus the "head gun" incident between the team boss Paul George, in addition to the poor offensive performance in these six games, the defensive end has also lost its former power.

In the end, the Pacers were eliminated 4-2 by the Heat.

On the western side, the Thunder, under the leadership of the resentful Durant, also defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 4-2 and met the Spurs in the West.

As for why Durant is full of resentment, it is necessary to ask a guy who has won almost all of the honors in the regular season......

This is the fourth consecutive year that the Wizards have met the Heat in the playoffs, and the third consecutive year that they have met in the Eastern Conference Finals.

In terms of the frequency of matchups, the two teams can already be called rivals, but this pair of rivals is not the same as the back-and-forth rivals of the yellow-green war, and the rivals of the Wizards and the Heat are both unilaterally beaten by the Heat.

Of course, this year is also a critical year for the Heat, when the Big Three were formed in 2010, James signed a 6-year contract with the Heat for 110 million Daole, but in this contract, the last two years are player options, which means that James has the right to end the contract after the end of this season.

When James joined the Heat, everyone knew that he was for the championship, but now three years have passed, and the fourth season is coming to an end, and Wade's physical condition is getting weaker and weaker.

This issue is a very important issue for the entire league, and although James has won the Big Three for three consecutive years, it is undeniable that his strength is still the top in the league.

Such a big fish, and the body is still in its prime, there is a chance to enter the free market, and every team that wants to win the championship, whether they have money in their pockets or not, wants to try it.

Dreams always have to come true, what if they come true?

As for the matchup between the Wizards and the Heat, there is no need to say more, in the past four years, all kinds of ups and downs, whether on or off the court, the two sides have gone through all-round friction and are already a pair of old rivals.

There is also a fan who is about to take the college entrance examination on the basketball forum in Huaguo to ask:

It's time for the college entrance exam, but I really want to see the Wizards and Heat play, what should I do?

The comments below are also very interesting.

"Of course, it's the college entrance examination, the college entrance examination is something that determines your life, of course, you have to put it in the first place." It's a very down-to-earth fan statement.

"There is a college entrance examination every year, and there is only one showdown between the Wizards and the Heat!" Some naughty netizens ridiculed.

"Upstairs, I believe you are a ghost, someone told me this three years ago, and now my high school classmates are juniors, and I am still repeating here......"

"So it's the Wizards and the Heat who fight every year, and the college entrance examination is only right once......"

At the end of the second round, the final award of the 2013-2014 regular season was also announced, and Wizards head coach Philip Sanders led the team to a record-making 74-8 and was unanimously voted Best Coach, which is also the second consecutive year that Sanders has been named the best coach.

And Sanders also became the first head coach in NbA history to be unanimously elected as the best coach, which can be regarded as making up for a regret of the Wizards, although Li Kaiming was not unanimously elected as the mVp, but at least this group of Emericans have no racial bias against Sanders.

The best record in history, worthy of the only unanimous vote for the best coach!
