The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

The playoff confrontation between the Heat and the Wizards has lasted for 3 years, and this is the 4th year.

The first playoff match between the two teams was when Wang Xiao first joined the Wizards in the 2009-10 season. At that time, the Wizards were waiting for nothing, and the Heat had only Wade.

The two teams met in the first round of the playoffs, and the Wizards directly beat the Heat to sweep the opponent home 4:0.

In the subsequent 10-11 season, the Heat formed the Big Three that shocked the entire league. The joining of James and Bosh made the Heat the favorite to win the championship.

However, in the playoffs, they met the Wizards again in the Eastern Conference Finals.

In response to the poor run-in of the Heat's Big Three and James' abnormal performance, the Wizards once again eliminated the Heat and made it to the playoffs smoothly.

Last season, that is, the shrinking season of the 11-12 season, the two teams met again in the Eastern Conference Finals. At that time, the Wizards already had defensive strongmen such as George, Thompson and Leonard in the lineup, so even if the Heat's side The decentralization of power has inspired James, who is in the strongest state. The Heat still failed to beat the Wizards and were eliminated by the Wizards for three consecutive years.

The Wizards who eliminated the Heat entered the playoffs and met the equally young Trail Blazers, won the final victory and won the trophy.

A year later, the two teams met again in the Eastern Conference Finals. Compared to this season, both teams are undoubtedly stronger.

The Heat acquired players such as Ray Allen and Lewis, won 65 wins in the regular season, and even had such a crazy performance of 27 consecutive victories.

As for the Wizards, Thompson, Leonard and several players on the bench have grown further. The regular season is invincible. They directly won 70 wins, the highest in team history and the second in league history, becoming the second team after the Bulls. A team that won 70 games this season.

The confrontation between these two teams in the Eastern Conference Finals, in the eyes of most people, is almost equivalent to deciding who will win the championship. After all, compared with the two behemoths in the Eastern Conference, the teams in the Western Conference Finals are stronger Much less.

When the matchup in the Eastern Conference finals came out, the second round of the Western Conference had not yet ended.

The game between the Spurs and the Thunder came to 3:2. The Spurs held the match point and were one step away from the Western Conference Finals.

In fact, the Spurs did not give the Thunder a chance in Game 6. With their tough defense, Westbrook and Evans, two defenders who were not good at shooting, could not break into the paint. The Thunder's offense was naturally blocked, and the Spurs won Game 6. , Rewriting the score to 4:2, successfully approaching the Western Conference Finals.

On the other side, the Blazers and the Clippers fought to 3:3.

If these two teams are compared in strength, then the Blazers must have the upper hand. After all, the Blazers have the Big Three combination of Durant + Aldridge + Jordan, while the Clippers only have Paul + Griffin. people.

But relying on Paul's performance, the Clippers abruptly dragged the game into the tiebreaker.

The current league's No. 1 point guard is under too much pressure.

Can you imagine being the number one point guard in the league, but not even playing in the Western Conference Finals in his career?

Paul is now facing such a dilemma.

After 13 years, Paul in 1985 will soon be 29 years old. At this time, he is at the peak of his career, and this peak will pass in a few years.

So he played very hard, almost exhausting all his strength.

At the same time, the lack of a strong point guard in the Blazers is also very obvious. Mike Miller is too old, and Louis Williams is troubled by injuries and his performance is not good. This also gives Paul a lot of room to play.

However, Wang Xiao feels that the Blazers are more likely to have the last laugh. After all, in the playoffs, Durant's lethality is unmatched by Paul.

As Wang Xiao expected, in the tiebreaker, the Blazers occupied the home court. At the same time, Durant broke out and scored 43 points in a single game, leading the Blazers to win the tiebreaker and advance to the Western Conference Finals.

In this way, the Western Conference Finals will be a duel between the Trail Blazers and the Spurs, just like last season.

No matter who the Trail Blazers and Spurs can stand out from the West, it is difficult to be the opponent of either of the two teams of the Wizards and the Heat.

After all, the Trail Blazers, the No. 1 player in the Western Conference during the regular season, won only 59 wins.

...

"In this series, we must win! It's not just a question of strength. In recent years, we have lost to them, which is very frustrating. This year is our strongest season. We have won 27 consecutive victories and 65 wins in the game. These are exciting things, but if we still cannot beat the Wizards in the playoffs, then I think these efforts will be in vain, so we must beat them and win Take the championship trophy!"

This is what James said in an interview with reporters. When he said these words, he seemed full of confidence. No one knew whether his confidence was from the heart or just pretending.

But as he said, in the third year of the formation of the Big Three, if they still can't get past the Wizards, they will inevitably become the biggest laughing stock in the league.

The near-desert situation made the whole Heat feel desperate. This series can only win but not lose!

A few days before the game, Wang Xiao was also interviewed by reporters. When asked what he thought of James' pre-war declaration, he said this.

"I think the Heat should thank the Lakers."

Wang Xiao's words stunned the reporter who interviewed him.

What did the Heat thank the Lakers for? Is there a half-dime relationship between them?

But following Wang Xiao, he continued: "The Lakers formed the Super F4 this season, which shocked the entire league. Almost everyone thought they had already booked the championship, but the result was that the Lakers' record was terrible. Relying on Kobe's Desperate to qualify for the playoffs and get swept in the first round."

"I heard that the conflict between Howard and Kobe has become irreconcilable recently. Basically, after the end of this season, he will definitely leave Los Angeles. If this is the case, the F4 combination of the Lakers will be broken up after only one season."

"With the jade beads of the Lakers in front, it shouldn't be so embarrassing for the Heat's Big Three to be broken up by the Wizards, right? After all, the Lakers' Big Four seem to be stronger than the Heat's Big Three, but they lasted for a year. The Heat really lasted three years."

Wang Xiao's high-spirited talk made the reporters stunned for a while, but in the end he suddenly made a sharp turn, almost leading the reporters into a ditch!

The reporters who reacted after being stunned for a while were all happy and crazy.

Wang Xiao deserves to be Wang Xiao! Eat, sleep, and hit the heat, but whenever you encounter heat, you will be excited!

This year is even more exaggerated. Before the game, it has already announced that it will break up the Heat and even bring the Lakers.

The Lakers got shot even while they were lying down. This season was already tough enough, but they were still treated by Wang Xiao as a negative teaching material. What does it mean to have the Lakers’ Super Big Four in front, and the Heat’s Big Three being broken up doesn’t seem so embarrassing up?

You don't want to bully people like this!
