The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

The earliest big three on the Knicks, Amare Stoudemire, is almost going to fade out of the main position. Frequent injuries have caused his competitive state to form a cliff-like decline. This season's regular season averaged only 22 appearances. In minutes, he averaged only 12 points and 4.9 rebounds per game.

Another giant, Deron Williams, has gradually begun to show signs of decline. The data has dropped from 19+7.7 per game last season to 14.3+6, which also makes him miss the All-Star weekend this season.

The only one who can maintain a high level of competition is Cameron Anthony.

Such a Knicks, even if he got Jordan through a deal, has no capital to compete with the Wizards.

Another 4:0, the Wizards once again easily completed the sweep of the Knicks, continuing the glorious tradition of sweeping the Knicks in the playoffs for many years.

Stoudemire and Deron's performance in the entire series was very bad, and the only scoring point Anthony was under the care of Leonard and Green, the shooting rate was less than 40%, and the average score can only be poor After 20 points, compared with averaging 27.6 points per game in the regular season, the 45% field goal percentage dropped a lot.

And Leonard, who played against him, averaged 25 points and 6 rebounds in four games, scoring even higher than Curry.

Of course, this is only achieved when Wang Xiao can give advice.

After defeating the Knicks, the Wizards will most likely meet the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference. It is necessary to let Leonard build more confidence in advance. After all, when he faced James in the past, he only needed to focus all his energy on It's good to limit James to play, but this time, he needs to share the pressure of the Wizards' offense while defending.

This is definitely a challenge for Leonard. After all, he is facing LeBron James, the strongest in the small forward position.

Although James’ defensive ability is not top, it can definitely be called first-class. The outstanding physical quality and good basketball IQ make it defensive against most opponents in the game. People often see James's "sexual" pinboard cap, and his selection to the best defensive lineup six times in his career is also a confirmation of James' defensive ability.

Whether Leonard can be as efficient when confronting James as he is against other opponents, Wang Xiao is not yet known, so he can only prepare everything before the two meet.

...

The Wizards who swept the opponent 4:0 again are still the first team to stand out from the second round. The division semi-finals are no longer as powerful as the first round.

In the east, in addition to the Wizards against the Knicks, the other team is the Cavaliers against the Nets. Although the Nets led by Jeremy Lin is in the Cavaliers' confrontation, it is not without resistance.

In particular, Jeremy Lin is in an absolute upper hand in Owen's matchup, and both sides of the offense and defense overwhelmed his opponent.

However, the Nets lineup still has an indelible gap with the Cavaliers, which also makes the big score of the two teams become 3:1 after four games.

To the west, the two finals of the division finals were the Blazers against the Grizzlies and the Spurs against the Clippers.

In the first round, the Grizzlies' opponent was the King led by Harden, and the Clippers' opponent was the Thunder. Both teams defeated their opponents and advanced to the second round.

The Blazers' game against the Grizzlies is currently 3:1. The Blazers hold the match point, while the Spurs vs. Clippers game is currently tied to 2:2.

The strength of the Spurs and Clippers can be regarded as the closest among the teams in the division finals.

auzw.com Because of Wang Xiao, the Spurs did not have Leonard. Also because of Wang Xiao, the Clippers did not have Little Jordan.

However, it is obvious that the role of Jordan for the Clippers is not as important as that of Leonard to the Spurs. This also makes the Spurs still entangled with the Clippers although they successfully attracted Bosh to join in the summer.

The Clippers’ leading core Paul can already be regarded as a small universe outbreak, averaging 22.5 points, 11.8 assists and 2.5 steals in four games. The Western Conference has almost become Paul’s obsession. In Curry, Jeremy Lin, Westbrook and other new generation point guards Under the situation of continuous rise, Paul's status was severely impacted, which made him urgently need a weighty honor.

It has been nearly 9 years as a professional player in the NBA, but he has not even participated in a Western Conference. This is definitely a big stain in his career.

Wang Xiao estimates that with Paul’s superb performance, the Clippers should be able to fight the horse for seven games. As for who will become the final winner, he is not easy to judge. After all, because of the butterfly effect, the two teams’ lineups are different. There are no small changes in a time and space.

However, no matter who can win the two teams, I am afraid it is difficult to win when facing the Blazers.

...

While the second round of competition was in full swing, the major awards of the league became clear as the voting results were announced.

First announced is the best lineup, best defensive lineup and best rookie lineup.

Because George's season was reimbursed, he missed the selection of the best team, but the Wizards still have three players selected for the best team.

They were Curry who was selected for a while, Thompson and Leonard who were selected for a third.

This is reasonable, after all, the Wizards won a terrifying 73 wins in the regular season, and every player on the team played the best state and level.

Thompson is averaging 21.5 points per game this season, and Leonard's effort in the second half of the season, the average score at the end of the season is increased to 19.8 points, only 0.2 points can break the 20-point mark.

The selection results of the best lineup are as follows.

Best time: guards Stephen Curry, James Harden, forward LeBron James, Kevin Durant, center Dwight Howard.

Best second team: guard Jeremy Lin, Chris Paul, forward Cameron Anthony, Blake Griffin, center Joakim Noah.

Best three: guard Russell Westbrook, Klay Thompson, forward Kawhi Leonard, LaMarcus Aldridge, center Al Jefferson.

Similar to last season, compared to the best lineup, the Wizards won more honors in the best defensive lineup.

Last season, the Wizards had three players selected for the best defensive lineup, namely George, Leonard and Thompson.

This season, the Wizards were selected as the best defensive lineup of up to four players!

Leonard was selected as the best defensive team for the first time, and Thompson, Green and Gobert were all selected as the best defensive team for the second team!

It is an unprecedented feat for a team of four players to be selected as the best defensive lineup, and it is enough to illustrate the horror of the Wizards!
