Chapter 354: Finals, against the Spurs!

> >
The 2013-2014 regular season mvp was finally awarded to Curry.
This is the third regular season mvp trophy in Curry's career, and it also makes Curry tie the Magic Johnson in the personal honor of the regular season mvp and ranks as the most point guard!
And then, Curry is likely to win the third finals mvp trophy of his career, further enhancing his historical position by one grade.
...
The best defensive player, given to Wang Xiao's disciple Dunn during Harvard University, Dunn who used Mutombo's growth template card has become a powerful defensive player, super blocking ability, fast Footsteps and not-so-weak strength have all allowed Dunn to demonstrate a strong defensive ability in this era of generally weak inner strength.
The best sixth man is Jamal Crawford. The sixth is still the sixth. No one can beat the gangster in the bench.
But Crawford's best sixth man was somewhat controversial.
Many people believe that the Wizards' substitute players are fully capable of competing with the best sixth man award.
Although Isaiah Thomas is only 1.75 meters, but the ability to hold the ball breakthrough is quite amazing, scoring ability is not inferior to Crawford.
Jimmy Butler's balance of offense and defense is like another copy of George and Leonard. His contribution in the game is much stronger than that of Crawford, who can only attack a completely black hole on the defensive end.
But unfortunately, the Wizards' bench lineup is too luxurious, so that these talented players can only play part of their strength in a limited time, the data is also affected.
The most important thing is that the award is the best sixth person.
The question of who is the sixth person on the team, Thomas Jr. and Jimmy Butler, is not particularly well defined...
...
The best sixth man is only a small award, and it is understandable that it is controversial.
At least the controversy between the regular season mvp and best defensive player awards is not great.
One is the core point guard who led the team to 73 wins, and the other is the block madman who covered the entire league. The award is also deserved.
...
With the announcement of all the awards of the season, the final highlight of nba20132014 season, the finals will also come.
On June 5, at the home of the Wizards, the opening game of the finals was officially launched!
The Wizards' starting lineup is a five-man starting lineup that has remained unchanged for ten years after George was injured.
Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Kawhi Leonard, Drummond Green, Rudy Gobert.
For the Spurs, the starting lineup is Tony Parker, Marco Bellinelli, Boris Dior, Chris Bosh, Tim Duncan.
Due to Wang Xiao's reasons, the Spurs failed to get Green and did not pick Leonard, but they accidentally introduced Chris Bosh, which was considered a slight stop.
Judging from the paper strength of the lineup alone, the Spurs can never compete with the Wizards, but Wang Xiao understands Popovich's ability as an old man. He is convinced that the opponent will never be put to death.
...
At the beginning of the game, the Wizards players played very well.
This is the fourth time that many people in the team have played in the finals. Although they are young, they have more experience in the finals than veterans who are under 30.
Even the Spurs on the opposite side of the Finals experience are only half a catty with the Wizards.
auzw.com Due to the butterfly effect that Wang Xiao passed through, the Spurs failed to reach the finals last season, so until
Now, even Ginobili after Duncan has only three experiences in the finals.
So compared to experience, the young Wizards are not spurs at all.
In the lineup, age and even strength, the Wizards have an absolute advantage.
So it goes without saying that the Wizards took advantage of speed in the first quarter.
Although the Spurs are at a disadvantage, they have always relied on the inside to stabilize the score between Duncan and Bosh.
Although Gobert and Green have excellent defensive abilities, they are still struggling against an old veteran fritter like Duncan. Especially Duncan's signature stunt shot at a 45-degree angle, and the shooting rate is extremely high and difficult to defend.
After trying several times, Gobert could only choose to try to keep it away from the basket, and could not receive the ball comfortably.
And Bosh is precisely the object that Green hates defensively. He has the ability to shoot in the mid-range, tall, and capable of inside and out. Such players will make Green feel a sense of not knowing where to go.
Relying on two insiders, the Spurs have consistently stabilized their points within double digits.
In the first quarter, the two teams scored 31:24.
In the second quarter, the score became 63:55.
And even in the third quarter where the Wizards usually have the most advantage in the game, the score difference is only over 10 points.
The Spurs have always been the team with the highest scoring score in addition to the Wizards. Under the leadership of Ginobili, the Spurs' bench strength can be entangled with the Wizards.
When the game reached the fourth quarter, the Spurs suddenly exerted force, hitting a wave of 8:0, homeopathic will tie the difference, forcing Wang Xiao to call out a timeout.
Fortunately, after the timeout, Curry stood up and regained his advantage with two three-pointers and kept the advantage until the end of the game.
At 101:93, the Wizards won the first game of the Finals by 8 points at home.
After the game, Wang Xiao carefully recalled the process of the game and watched the video of the game. He was slightly puzzled.
The Spurs played very well throughout the game. Wang Xiao could hardly pick out any faults. The loss was entirely due to Curry's giant planet.
But Wang Xiao always felt that this should not be the case with the Spurs. Popovich should make corresponding tactical adjustments to the Wizards' system.
"Could it be said that the guy is hiding awkwardly, losing a game first, let us take it lightly and then suddenly make trouble?"
...
However, in the second game, the Wizards won again, and it was easier than the first game.
Klay Thompson broke out suddenly, scoring 31 points in the half, scoring 44 points in the game, almost defeated the Spurs by himself, and no one on the Spurs team could limit Thompson's play.
After winning two home games, the Wizards rushed to the San Antonio Spurs for an away game.
Wang Xiao originally thought it would be a tough away game, but in the third game, the Wizards won again.
When the whistle at the end of the game rang, Wang Xiao looked at the white-faced and expressionless old man across the court, and he suddenly realized that he might have thought too much.
No matter how strong Popovich is, he is still just a head coach, nothing more.
Even if there is no other time and space that Wang Xiao has troubled, he has only led the Spurs to five championships.
At this time, Popovich led without Leonard, without Green's Spurs, and he faced a 73-win Wizards team that might be stronger than the 72-win Bulls!
