The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

Wang Xiao is not sure whether there is a butterfly effect or a coincidence in this world, but it seems that he has his own will in heaven.

Curry’s accidental injury and the reversed situation on the court made the Wizards players a bit anxious, and some players who were already more tempered had a lot of movements.

Soon, Drummond Green had a dispute with Howard under the rim for rebounding, and the chattering Green caught a technical foul.

Cole on the sidelines was even darker.

A technical foul will not send Green off the court, but this is the sixteenth technical foul Green has accumulated. According to the league regulations, Green will automatically be suspended for the next game as a penalty.

This is obviously an even worse news.

Curry's injury has not yet been determined. As a result, Green first confirmed that he cannot play in the next game.

Although Green can only play as a substitute for the Wizards, and the statistics are not outstanding, but his tough style is what the team needs.

Many times, the Wizards are used to let Green come on the bench, assist Leonard to defend James, so that Leonard can free up more energy to invest in the offense.

...

Green's suspension is the next game. If the Wizards can win this game, the total score will become 3:0, so there will be a lot of time for the Wizards to adjust.

But if this game cannot be won, then the score will be 2:1. If Curry and Green cannot play in the next game, it may also affect the team's performance. If you continue to lose, the total score will be Become 2:2 and return to the same starting line.

Cole knew the key to this game, but the decline of the Wizards players on the field was completely unstoppable.

In the end, the Cavaliers defended their home court and won a city in Cleveland, turning the total score to 2:1.

After the game, people are more concerned about Curry's injury than the outcome of this game, and whether the next game can be played.

While waiting for Curry to check the report, the Wizards were the most suffering.

However, after learning the test results, everyone's heart could not help sinking again.

Curry's ankle sprain was initially determined to be about two weeks of cultivation.

In other words, he will miss the rest of the Eastern Conference finals. If the Wizards can cross the Cavaliers and advance to the Finals, Curry can still catch up.

But...without Curry, do the Wizards have an advantage against the Cavaliers?

The fourth battle gave this answer.

When Curry and Green were absent, the Wizards' offensive tactics were obviously affected. Without Curry to attract defense on the perimeter, both George and Leonard encountered stubborn resistance when they hit the rim.

Although Howard has lost the explosive power of his youth, he still maintains a good competitive state because of the butterfly effect. He still maintains a good competitive state. His defensive ability under the basket is still the top in the league. In the face of this Warcraft, even George and Renner Virtue also has some scruples.

While there was a problem with the offense, there was also a loophole on the defensive end.

Without Green's assistance, Leonard's pressure to defend James alone doubled.

The Wizards' offense is blocked and the Cavaliers are more blooming. The home advantage and the initiative on the field make them more comfortable and relaxed.

The Wizards were in a weak position after the first start of the entire series and were unilaterally suppressed by the Cavaliers.

Of course, even so, the Cavaliers failed to directly defeat the Wizards.

Even without Curry, without Green, the Wizards still have the most luxurious lineup in the league, Leonard, George, Thompson and Butler on the bench, any of these people have a very outstanding individual Ability, in addition to a defensive ability inside Gobel.

So even if the Cavaliers occupy the initiative on the field, coach Teren Lu still paces anxiously on the long side.

This is completely different from what he imagined. The Cavaliers should have a greater advantage. The current situation always gives him the feeling that the Wizards will suddenly burst at any time and knock the Cavaliers to the ground. This makes He was very uneasy.

...

At halftime, the score of the two teams was 61:54, and the difference was only 7 points.

As the game progressed to the second half, the Wizards finally exposed their flaws.

The absence of the two generals made the Wizards' original luxurious rotation somewhat dwarfed, and in order to ensure that the gap between scores was not widened, Cole also had to keep several main players on the field, which caused the Wizards. The main physical crisis.

Especially Leonard, while defensively responsible for marking such a tough job as James, also needs him offensively.

The result of the balance between the two ends is that the game has only reached the third quarter. His offensive efficiency has begun to decline linearly, and the number of shots and iron turnovers has increased significantly.

With this trade-off, the Cavaliers finally seized the opportunity to widen the gap to more than double digits in one fell swoop.

Cole called out a timeout and replaced Leonard to rest, but it was also a permanent cure.

In the end, the Wizards lost the second game on the road. The total score of the series was equalized to 2:2. Next, the two sides will return to Washington for the crucial fifth game, the battle of Mount Tianwang.

This game has good news for the Wizards. Drummond Green, who was suspended, will return to the field. With his assistance, at least he will not be so passive in restricting James.

...

In this game, Wang Xiao came to the scene to watch. He is now regarded as the Wizards' reputation. Although he is currently coaching the Bucks, the Wizards still give Wang Xiao great respect. Even he can sit on the coach to watch The game, and Curry, who was unable to play due to injury, sat beside him.

"Coach, you said we can win this time."

Curry looked at Wang Xiao and asked.

Facing this problem, Wang Xiao could only shake his head and smile bitterly.

Curry was not the first to ask him this question, but he really couldn't answer it.

Originally, the confrontation between the two teams should be no suspense. The Wizards' lineup strength is far from comparable to that of the Cavaliers. Even if the Warriors of Durant get another world, it is difficult to match.

But Curry's injury made everything unpredictable.

Although the Wizards without Curry are still one of the best teams in the league, their opponents are, after all, the four Cavaliers led by James.

If there is any team in the league that can theoretically fight against the Wizards, then it must be the Cavaliers.

Before the game started, the Wizards' current coach Cole also had a phone call with Wang Xiao to ask Wang Xiao how to deal with the Cavaliers.

Although Cole is older than Wang Xiao and has also been a professional player and assistant coach with rich experience, he admires Wang Xiao's achievements in the Wizards.

As for Cole's question, Wang Xiao can only give one suggestion.

Try to cut off James' connection with other players.

Simply put, it is the Jordan Law.

Jordan's rule was a strategy that the Pistons had against the Bulls: adopting various methods to prevent and defend Jordan, and use everything to their utmost. When it is really impossible to prevent Jordan, let go of Jordan and defend the other four players, even if Jordan has more The other four scored very low and the Bulls still lost.

Although the Cavaliers have first-class point guard Irving, but on the court, the team's only brain is James, the entire team is also around James to play.

As long as James can get it, then the Cavaliers are no threat.
