The strongest bishop in the NBA

Chapter 314 The gap is too big

Wang Xiao still has great confidence in Jordan's free throw ability.

Even compared to the offensive efficiency of Durant defended by Leonard, Jordan's free throws are worse...

Of course, when the team has an absolute lead, Wang Xiao will not use the shark-slashing tactic, which will make the game long and boring.

The first quarter of the game was a battle between Curry + Thompson and Durant.

With one against two, Durant was completely at a disadvantage.

In fact, he is more like one against three, after all, he still has to pester his own Leonard all the time like dealing with jelly candy.

As for the other side, Aldridge and George can at most form a situation where they explode each other. George has no particularly good way to deal with Aldridge, who is 2 meters tall and good at mid-range and long-range shooting. Correspondingly, Aldridge is also very good. It was hard to keep up with George's speed.

In this way, in the first quarter of the game, relying on the performance of the Splash Brothers, the Wizards only maintained their advantage, and as Green came on the field to replace Whiteside, the Wizards' speed further improved and their firepower became more and more fierce.

With Whiteside off the court, Jordan's rebounding ability was liberated to a certain extent, and he grabbed offensive rebounds several times to form a second offensive opportunity.

But whenever encountering such a situation, the Wizards will not hesitate to foul and send Jordan to the free throw line. In most cases, such results are only 2 of 1 shots, and even 2 of 0 shots.

By the second quarter, the Blazers could no longer suppress the offensive firepower of the Wizards and began to collapse across the board.

The point difference widened from single digits to double digits, and then to over 20 points...

Durant once again experienced the powerlessness of James, Jeremy Lin and others.

No matter how desperately he scores, the opponent's scoring efficiency is higher than him, and no matter how you look at it, the opponent's scoring is much easier than him.

The gap between the lineups of the two teams is too great!

Durant scored 12 points in the first quarter, 6 points in the second quarter, 9 points in the third quarter, and 10 points in the last quarter. He contributed 37 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists.

But the Blazers lost the game with a score of 116:99.

The fans at the home court of the Wizards have become accustomed to such results, but even so, they still gave the warmest applause and cheers when facing the victory of this game.

Every victory in the finals means that they have taken a step towards the championship.

A few years ago, they didn't even dare to think about such a scene, but now they can watch the team approaching the championship trophy step by step at home. For these fans who love the Wizards, there is nothing It couldn't be happier than that.

"Defending! Defending! Defending!"

On the court, the defending cheers gradually sounded, from sporadic to uniform behind, the sound filled the entire player.

The fans who traveled thousands of miles to Washington to support the Trail Blazers were not very good-looking.

On the one hand, it was because of the cheers from the home fans of the Wizards, and on the other hand, it was because even they had a faint feeling in their hearts... I am afraid that the Blazers will not be able to win this series.

Just like the Wizards-Heat series, the level gap between the two sides was so great that there were no surprises in the entire series.

In the current situation, I am afraid that unless important players such as Curry and George on the Wizards are suddenly injured, the Blazers will have a little chance, but the possibility of this is too low.

Wang Xiao's cautiousness has reached the level of heinous. A group of young players in the Wizards got a lot of rest opportunities during the regular season, especially Curry, who took a full 82 games in 18 regular season games. Only played 64 games, and the average playing time was only about 32 minutes per game.

For comparison, the core of the Heat, LeBron James, played 76 regular season games this season, averaging 38 minutes per game.

Trail Blazers core Kevin. Durant played 81 games, averaging 38.5 minutes.

Lakers core Kobe. Bryant played 78 games, averaging 38.7 minutes.

Compared with these players, the 24-year-old Curry plays like a veteran of health preservation.

In the game, Curry also hit the basket the fewest times among the Wizards starters except center Whiteside.

Curry's ability to finish at the basket is actually very strong, second to none among point guards, even compared with the center forward.

But the system of the glass man makes Wang Xiao uneasy about using Curry's lethal skill in large quantities. After all, hitting the basket often means physical contact, and the possibility of injury is greater.

No matter how sharp other offensive methods are, Curry's strongest and most deterrent weapon is his three-pointer.

As for the task of hitting the basket, it is more than enough to hand over to George, Leonard and others. As small forwards, they are best at hitting the basket and finishing at the basket.

Under Wang Xiao's almost meticulous protection, unless luck is really pushed to the extreme, it is very difficult for Curry to suffer from injuries that are too serious to be unable to play.

In the second game, Curry made 23 of 11 shots and scored 31 points. He led the Wizards to another victory at home and was in excellent condition.

So far, the total score has come to 2:0.

Next, the game will go to the Rose Garden Arena in Portland, home of the Trail Blazers, but the predictions of the major sports media on the direction of the next game are almost all that the Wizards swept the Trail Blazers 4:0 to win the championship.

So far this season's playoffs, the Wizards have not even lost a game. From the first round, the second round, the Eastern Conference finals, to the finals, it is completely crushing.

Although the Blazers have Durant, who has the highest scoring ability in the league, they are powerless against such a kingly division.

……

In the third game after returning to Portland, the Wizards Curry and Thompson, the Splash Brothers, were both out of touch. One made 18 of 7 shots and the other made 20 of 8 shots. However, the Wizards still won the game on the road. Because Durant was also inaccurate.

Facing Leonard's defense, Durant finally showed his flaws. He only hit 25 goals out of 10 shots in the game. Although he still scored 24 points with free throws, such scoring and efficiency were far from enough. Lead the Blazers to win the game.

The total score came to 3:0, which also means that the Blazers basically have no chance of a comeback.

In the fourth game, Durant rebounded from the bottom and felt hot. He made 20 of 16 shots and scored 47 points, 13 rebounds and 6 assists. He completely defeated Leonard, who successfully restricted him in the previous game.

However, the Blazers still failed to win, because when the Wizards were at a disadvantage due to Durant's super offensive firepower, Wang Xiao directly used the shark-killing tactic without any hesitation.
