At the beginning of the game, under Kidd's defense, Curry missed several consecutive goals.
Kidd, 38, is far less defensively pressured than Jeremy Lin. Even in many cases, Curry has the feeling of being able to pass the opponent in an instant, or can pull a certain distance to shoot.
But when he really put his ideas into reality, he found that Kidd, who seemed to be half a beat, always arrived just right.
That is not to catch up with speed, but in a similar way to predicting in advance.
To put it simply, Kidd used his rich experience to judge what Curry wanted to do in the moment of Curry's actions, and he reacted one step in advance.
It sounds like a lot of talk, but Kidd can really do for a veteran who has been playing in the league for 16 years.
Several times, Kidd seemed to be guarded by chance, and Curry's mentality changed a little.
Seriously, before the game, although Curry also attached great importance to Kidd, he did not completely regard it as a big enemy.
This season, with the increase of age, Kidd's data has been reduced to a certain extent compared with the previous seasons. The average data for the regular season is only 7.9 points and 8.2 assists. In the playoffs, the average data is 9.3. Points 7 assists, there is no obvious increase.
And Curry? As a representative of a new generation of point guards, Curry has just won the regular season MVP, and in the playoffs so far, although Curry has been shrinking due to targeted defense against the Celtics, but the data has shrunk. There are still luxury figures averaging 26 points and 5.6 assists per game, which is the team's first scoring leader.
In the face of a player of such a large grade, whose speed and power have declined, if Curry can't score alone with his personal ability, then this regular season MVP will be too cheap.
But it turns out that Curry is still too young.
In the first half of the first game, under Kidd's defense, Curry's feel was bad. He only hit 1 goal in 7 attempts and made 0 of 4 threes.
Wang Xiao frowned and replaced Curry first, but the situation was not as simple as imagined.
It's not just Curry, the Wizards' other players, more or less, have some problems.
The first is Little Jordan.
At the beginning of this game, Jordan Jr. showed a very positive attitude, and he completely took the upper hand in the wrestling with Tyson Chandler.
But the good times are not long. In the face of the Mavericks players breaking into the inside, Jordan's performance is too aggressive. He constantly stepped forward to make defenses and blockades. As a result, he ate two fouls in a row in three minutes. When competing for an offensive rebound with Chandler, because of some anxiety, Jordan's hand did not hold back a little bigger, and then late for the third foul in the field.
Under the three offences, Wang Xiao had to replace Little Jordan and let McKee go up.
The good news is that although the Wizards' inner line is weak, there are a lot of blue-collar players hoarding. In addition to Jordan, there are McGee and Whiteside in the inside. Don't worry about no one available. Maybe McGee and Whiteside are in strength. Jordan is the next best player, and it is difficult to get the upper hand in the match with Chandler, but at least there will not be a crash.
The real problem was with Curry, and the Wizards' offensive rhythm came to a deadlock.
Harden did not receive the offensive banner, and his poor performance in the Eastern Conference still seemed to affect him.

George's situation is slightly better than Harden's, but his offensive ability on the ball itself is not particularly strong. More often, he still has to catch the ball. Even if the tactics can't be opened, it is difficult for George to reverse the field. The situation...
What Wang Xiao is worried about really happened. Compared to the Mavericks, the Wizards players are still too tender.
...
From the beginning of the first quarter, the Wizards have been in a backward chasing state. Although in the mid-term, Curry was slightly warmed up, and practiced with Butler and Jamison, and the score gap was once close to 5 points, but The Mavericks leader Nowitzki stepped out at this time, using consecutive shots to widen the points again. In the end, the Wizards failed to tie or overtake the score and lost the first game of the finals at home. game.
After the game, at a news conference, Wang Xiao admitted that the finals may be too stressful for these young players, so that they unconsciously fall into impatience in the game, so that they disrupted their rhythm.
"I hope that through the failure of this game, my team members will relax their minds and deal with the next game with an ordinary heart. The finals are nothing. Like the preseason and the regular season, they are a 48-minute game. Game only."
But as I said before, relax your mind. It's easy to say, but it's hard to do...
On June 4, the second game of the finals, the Wizards lost again at home, the big score became 0:2.
In this game, the status of the Wizards players has improved a lot with the end of the first game and Wang Xiao’s continuous guidance. At least they have reached the normal level of play and the scores of the two teams were once anxious. Difficult to divide up and down.
However, in the crucial hand, it was Novos base station that came out and killed the game with a desperate hit rate.
I have to admit that the 11-year-old Nowitzki is really strong. It is not a mere lucky chance to beat the Heat with a single-core team.
After the whole game, Nowitzki's shooting percentage may not be high, only about 44%, but at a critical moment, this guy's efficiency is surprisingly high, even if you know the Mavericks will definitely let Nowitzki come Execution of the key ball, and targeted tactics for this, but still will be scored by the opponent.
Losing two consecutive home games, the big score was 0:2 behind, for the Wizards, the situation is already quite unfavorable.
Next, the team will go to Dallas for the third game. If the Wizards lose in the third game, they will basically go away.
Never before in history has there been a 0:3 backward situation to complete the shocking reversal.
Wang Xiao doesn't think that this Wizards team that has a problem can do such a thing.
After retreating irrevocably, the Wizards finally broke out with such a strong offensive ability in the past. In the Mavericks' home, only two quarters of the game were played, and the score difference was close to 20 points.
Even Wang Xiao once thought that the team had already gotten better in this game.
But the game is so unpredictable.
In the third quarter, the Wizards were suddenly misfired. For nearly three minutes, a goal was not scored. Even if Wang Xiao called out two suspension adjustments and tactics in a row, he still failed to score a point in those three minutes.
Taking advantage of the three-minute gap period, the Mavericks directly hit a wave of 10:0 offensive wave, chasing the points difference to single digits in one fell swoop.
At that moment, Wang Xiao couldn't help but feel a feeling... This game is afraid to lose!
