After losing to the Lakers away, the Wizards ended their winning streak, but even so, the Wizards' top position in the East is still as stable as the Taishan. The Bulls and the Wizards ranked second still have a 3 game win difference.
And following the last stop of the four consecutive customers, Wang Xiao didn't have any meaning to release water against the New York Knicks.
Curry and Jamison, who had recuperated for a game, both started.
It may be a little straightforward, but compared to the Lakers, the Knicks are indeed a good soft persimmon.
Although the Knicks have all-star players like Stoudemire in the lineup, there is only one Stoudemire that can handle it.
The Knicks' starting five tigers are Amare Stoudemire, Wilson Chandler, Raymond Felton, Danilo Gallinari and Ronny Turiaf.
Chandler, Filton and Gallinari are still barely good players, but that's all. At least in the eyes of Wang Xiao, who has the prophetic ability of the transitor, these players are completely unqualified as a starter. .
In fact, by the February trade deadline, these people would be traded as chips to the Nuggets in exchange for another superstar Cameron Anthony and finals MVP Chauncey Billups.
And now, this set of starting lineups is under attack from the Wizards.
The Knicks' style for many years hasn't paid much attention to defense, and when the team's head coach changed to the Suns running the godfather D'Antoni, it was even more exaggerated.
This is a game with no suspense, just like the last game when the Wizards played against the Lakers. At halftime, the difference between the two teams has reached more than 20 points. The difference is that the previous game was behind. It is the Wizards, and they are in the lead in this game.
After the third quarter of the game, Stoudemire tried to lead the team to launch a counterattack. Although the Knicks' defense was not good, but the offensive ability was much better under the training of D'Antoni. The total score, ranked third in the league's 30 teams.
Unfortunately, their opponent is the Washington Wizards who can average 117 points per game and rank first in the league.
Although the attack launched by Stoudemire was fierce, the Wizards suppressed it with a more fierce attack!
In the end, the game ended at 127:102, and the Wizards won by 25 points on the road.
In this game, Stoudemire scored a game-high 36 points, but it was difficult to support. In the face of the team’s seven men in double figures, and Curry, Harden and Jamison scored 20+ points, only It is not enough to secretly sigh his teammates.
After the victory over the Knicks, the Wizards' hell-like four-seater was finally over.
In four games, the Wizards achieved a record of 3 wins and 1 loss. Such a result is already very rare.
Wang Xiao was relieved a little, and after going through this wave of four consecutive guests, the next schedule will be much better.
After four consecutive guests, the Wizards have two consecutive home games, the opponents are two weak opponents of the Kings and the Nets, and between these two home games, there is a full 6 days of rest time, for an average of 2 The NBA regular season schedule that arranges a game every day can already be regarded as a small long vacation. It is also because the league has considered the fatigue of four consecutive customers and has specially arranged an additional two-day rest time.
But... Wang Xiao's breath did not last long.
The two home games are on December 14th and December 16th respectively. After that, after 4 games, it will be December 25th.

Christmas, Christmas War!
In previous years, the Christmas Wars had nothing to do with the Wizards. After all, under the leadership of Arenas, the Wizards had the best results in the Eastern Conference.
But this year is different.
Last season, under the leadership of Wang Xiao, the Wizards played one of the most exciting performances in history. The team used the most gorgeous tactics and went all the way to the Eastern Conference finals. They were eventually eliminated by the Celtics.
And this season, the Wizards also became a participant in the Christmas War. On December 25, their opponent was the Boston Celtics who eliminated the Wizards in the Eastern Conference finals last season.
This game does not allow Wang Xiao to ignore it.
Due to Wang Xiao's appearance and the Wizards' unprecedented appearance, this season's Bulls, who should have ranked first in the East, fell to second, the Heat in second fell to third, and Kell, who should have ranked third in the East. The special man's record at this time naturally fell to the fourth position in the east, and if predicted according to this ranking, in the playoffs, the Celtics are likely to be in the second round with the first-place Wizards. Meet.
Although only one quarter of the regular season has been played so far, the ranking of the final record is still uncertain, but Wang Xiao feels that this possibility is extremely great.
In this case, the four games with the Celtics in the regular season have become particularly important.
Wang Xiao's goal this season is to the Heat three in the playoffs, but if he hasn't met the Heat three before falling down in front of the Celtics, it would be too shameful.
In order to achieve the goal, we must ensure the victory of the Celtics in the playoffs.
At the beginning of the season, the Wizards played against the Celtics once.
The Wizards lost that game.
The Celtics' lineup also has some restraint for the Wizards.
Unlike the Lakers' use of twin towers to bring great pressure to the Wizards' inside, the main reason for the Celtics to restrain the Wizards is that this team's defensive ability is too strong.
Rondo, Ray Allen, Pierce are not weaker than the Lakers Kobe, Artest and Fisher, and the Celtics also have a claim that they can defend from the 1st position. Kevin Garnett, the super defensive fighter to No. 5.
At the same age as Jamison, although Garnett, 36, has dropped significantly in all aspects of this season, averaging only 15 points and 9 rebounds, no one dares to underestimate the former wolf king.
At least in the playoffs between last season and the beginning of this season, Garnett was able to defend the Wizards' small ball lineup, especially the Wizards' most used inside player pulled down the outside to assist the pick-and-roll tactics and move at a height and arm length. Garnett, who was quick, was quite poor in front of him.
"How to deal with the Celtics?"
While Wang Xiao had a headache for this problem, he had to pay attention to another thing.
In the Christmas War on December 25, the Wizards will play against the Celtics, and on December 27, at the Wizards' home, their opponent will be the Miami Heat.
That's right, after a lapse of nearly a month, the Heat will make a comeback. Wang Xiao has no doubt. From the general manager to the head coach to the Big Three, the Heat are all eager to win the game.
