Chapter 270: Sweep?

(There is a chapter later)
Free throws are the key element that limits Jordan's personal ability. If he doesn't practice free throws, he can't be the best player in the league.
The starter didn't have the advantage, and the Blazers' disadvantage was even greater when the bench lineup came on the scene.
The Wizards have the most luxurious backup lineup in the league today, and are as strong as the starting lineup of some league weak teams.
Although the Blazers' bench lineup is not as unbearable as the Heat, it is by no means a bench gangster. Jamison and Caron Butler just play casually and easily penetrate their opponents.
The score gap was widened to more than 20 points in just 5 minutes.
Even if Durant finds a sense of rhythm, his scoring and shooting percentage increase rapidly, but he is far behind the Wizards.
In the third quarter, the score of the two teams is already 89:67, and the Wizards are 21 points ahead!
In the fourth quarter, the Blazers launched a fierce counterattack under Durant's leadership, but Curry was easily suppressed with two three-pointers.
In the end, the score was fixed at 113:89 points, the Wizards beat the Blazers by 24 points at home.
In the whole game, although Durant scored a game-high 36 points, he could not have any impact on the game.
...
This is a game without suspense, and the result is as expected by most people.
The Blazers are not opponents of the Wizards, tactical system, starting players, bench players, etc., the two teams have a big gap.
Even in terms of experience, the Wizards have already played one finals than the Blazers.
In the contest where both sides are young players as the main force, the Wizards are obviously better.
After the first game, some sports media made predictions about the probability of the final victory of the two sides. The Blazers could eventually eliminate the Wizards and win the cup with only 10%.
In addition to hating the Wizards and Wang Xiao, or the "fans" who like the Blazers players, they also think that the Blazers have the potential to win over.
After the second game on June 14th, the Blazers' winning percentage fell directly by half to 5%.
In this game, the Blazers lost even more. After 3 minutes from the start of the game, the Blazers never got a lead again, and they were always in the backward stage until the whistle of the game rang.
Durant once again scored a game-high 33 points, but compared to the first game, his performance in this game is slightly ugly.
Under Leonard's defense, Durant felt very bad in this game. He made 10 of 24 shots in the game, and his shooting percentage was only 41.6%, far below the usual level.
Leonard's powerful defensive ability is once again in front of everyone, making people realize that this first-year rookie has become a strong player that cannot be underestimated like other lottery rookies selected by Wang Xiao!
At the same time, another lottery rookie Thompson has also been extremely stable in two games. On average, he can score 3 three-pointers per game and get 16 points. His style of play does not occupy Curry and George at all. Waiting for the ball, almost all of them are catching shots after running.
The outstanding performance of the two players once again confirmed Wang Xiao's ability to turn the stone into gold, and further pushed the Blazers into the abyss.
On June 17, the finals came to Portland's Rose Garden Arena, the home of the Blazers.
However, returning to home, still failed to help the Blazers win a victory.

In this game, Durant feels warmer. On the offensive end, 14 of 22 shots, scoring 39 points, completely exploded against Leonard.
But he met, but the two brothers in the wind state.
Curry made 8 of 15 three-pointers and Thompson made 5 of 11 three-pointers. The two scored 33 points and 25 points respectively, and together scored 58 points!
The Blazers were defeated in the backcourt, unable to parry.
For the first time, Durant felt a sense of isolation and helplessness. His highest score was around Aldridge's 19 points, followed by Jordan's 16 points.
However, Jordan's 16 points were exchanged for 26 free throws.
12 of 26 free throws, 46% shooting rate, almost the same as Thompson's three-point shooting rate...
The big score on both sides came to 3:0, and at this moment, no one questioned Wang Xiao's choice to let Xiao Jordan go last summer.
In three series, Jordan was almost going to be cast out of the psychological shadow by the Wizards.
On average, more than 15 free throws are made per game, which is like a disaster for Jordan.
His contribution on the defensive end has been wiped out on the offensive end, and there is even a deficit.
In the fourth quarter of the third game, the Blazers coach McMillan even pressed it on the bench for a minute and did not play, and even more outspoken after the game.
"Free throws are a crucial part of a basketball game. Stable free throws are crucial to winning a game. We need more precise free throw skills. We need to throw more that should not be lost. What are the key Score."
Although McMillan did not name the surname, but everyone knows that he is spraying Jordan's free throw too bad.
This kind of behavior is actually not very good, and even seems to be unable to lose, no demeanor.
However, many people can understand that McMillan, the first career finals tour at this moment faced the dilemma of being swept out of the game, and no one can be comfortable with it.
On the other side of Wang Xiao, it seemed much lighter and lighter.
At the press conference, there were many reporters who questioned Wang Xiao's frequent use of shark-cutting tactics, which affected the viewing of the game.
Facing such a problem, Wang Xiao smiled and raised three fingers at the reporter who asked the question.
3:0, this is Wang Xiao's reply.
Victory is everything. History is written by the winners. After a few years, people will only remember that Wang Xiao led a group of rookies under the age of 25 to win the NBA championship trophy, not the series of Jordan. How many baskets were made.
When asked by reporters whether he would sweep the Blazers to win the championship, Wang Xiao said, "Although the idea of ​​returning to the Wizards to win the cup is pretty good, but in order to avoid extra-curricular growth, we still try our best to win every game."
As soon as this remark came out, it showed that the Wizards would go all out in the fourth game and try to sweep the Blazers.
Two days later, still in Rose Garden, the fourth game of the two teams started as scheduled.
Before the start of the game, the O'Brien Cup was sent to the arena. The staff of the league even rehearsed the awards process after winning the championship. It seems that the Wizards' sweeping of the Trail Blazers is already a deadly thing.
The fact seems to be the same.
In this game, McMillan, who has suffered three losses, seems to be a bird of surprise. As long as Jordan is fouled, he will be replaced to avoid the edge. The result is that the Wizards are not good at rebounding. In terms of advantages.
