Chapter 267: Finals Opening (1)

To make an intuitive comparison, as the strongest defensive insider of the 20th century, Ben Wallace has won 4 best defensive players, 3 rebounds, 5 best lineups, and 6 best defensive lineups throughout his career.
The new center's first center, Dwight Howard has 3 career defensive players, 5 rebounds, 2 blockers, 8 best lineups, and 5 best defensive lineups.
And Jordan's honor is 2 rebounds, 3 best lineups, 2 best defensive lineups... and then there is no more.
That's right, as of 2019, Jordan Jr. has only been selected for the best defensive lineup twice.
Although Jordan was a bit bully with Ben Wallace and Howard, as a player known for defense, it was a little unreasonable to only be selected for the best defensive lineup twice.
Also known for his defense, the Bulls center Joakim Noah has also been selected as the best defensive lineup 3 times and has also been elected as the best defensive player once.
As long as Jordan and Noah are mentioned, most people are still better because of Jordan’s defense. Noah’s defense is because of Thibodeau’s system.
Speaking of Jordan's most deadly, his defensive ability is far less than Ben Wallace, but one thing is very similar to Ben Wallace, there is a poor free throw percentage.
Ben Wallace's career free throw percentage was 41.4%, and Jordan Jr.'s career free throw percentage was 46.6%.
When the two are on the field, they are often used as targets for shark-cutting tactics.
The most funny thing is that as the main character born of the shark-cutting tactics, Shaq O'Neal has a career free throw percentage of 52%, which is slightly higher than the two.
The reason why Wang Xiao didn't renew the contract with Jordan and chose to let it go is one of the important reasons for his bad free throws.
The Wizards is a team that plays small ball tactics. Speed ​​is the life of this tactic. At present, most teams in the league cannot keep up with the thunderous speed of the Wizards, but the existence of Jordan is a hidden danger. .
Once the opponent can't keep up with the Wizards' speed, instead turning to Shark Jordan to undermine the Wizards' offensive rhythm, the situation is not so good.
The Wizards' lineup runs powerfully, but once it falls into positional combat, its power will be greatly reduced. After all, there is no strong center to sit in, and it is not efficient to rely on outside lines to play positional combat.
The Blazers are in fact the team that has been playing the main role of position battles.
Jordan Jr. defended the basket, Durant and Aldridge relied on mobile "mobility" to assist defense, plus the backcourt Andre Miller and Matthews formed a defense line, the Blazers' defense is also a solid one.
For the Blazers, what the Wizards and Wang Xiao need to do is actually very simple, with only two points.
First, use the offense to break the Blazers' line of defense.
Second, the main scorer of the Trail Blazers, Kevin Durant.
This is obviously much simpler than when playing against the Heat in the Eastern Conference. After all, the strongest team this season is the Heat’s Big Three. Even the Big Three have passed, and other opponents are not for the Wizards. Rivals, as long as they don't underestimate and fight steadily, they can win the final victory.
...
auzw.com In the finals of the Wizards and Blazers, the "drug" smell of fire is much smaller than that of the Eastern Conference.
Unlike having personal grudges with the Heat, the Wizards have no grudges with the Blazers. Although Wang Xiao was selected by Durant as the Blazers boss Paul Allen at the draft, he did not resent it. Pioneer, after all, he thought it was a dream, and Hu "chaotic" to make a decision, did not discuss with anyone at all.
The top pick means a lot to a team, especially when a rookie has a super center that is rare to be seen in 20 years. The Trail Blazers management team on the spot also has no other traversers. In this way, at that time, there was no enthusiasm to kill Wang Xiao even if it was very restrained.
With the passage of time, the Thunder’s Oden has no ball to play, and the Blazers’ Durant has grown into one of the league’s superstars, which makes the Blazers from the management to the ball fans Xiao was very grateful. It was unimaginable. If they really chose Oden and then lost Roy, what would it look like in the next few years?
In addition, Xiao Xiaodan was also trained by Wang Xiao. The Blazers can reach the finals, almost all thanks to Wang Xiao.
On the Wizards side, there is no hostility towards the Blazers, because in their view, the most threatening heat has also been settled, the league has no opponents that can prevent the Wizards from winning. Although the Blazers stand out from the west, but Their strength in the regular season is not enough to hate Washington fans who have relatively high quality.
...
The start of the finals is June 12, as the league's first record, the Wizards still have home advantage.
On this day, the stadium of the mci center was packed, and the stadium that could accommodate 20,000 people was packed.
When the Wizards players came on stage, cheers rang through the audience, and even many fans of the ball gave applause when they saw Little Jordan.
Little Jordan and the Wizards are well together. Wang Xiao explained to the Little Jordan the tactical system of the Wizards in detail, so that he understands that he is actually not suitable for the Wizards’ small ball tactics. Although Jordan was leaving, he was quite nostalgic. , But did not feel resentful.
Even this season for the Trail Blazers, Jordan Jr. was somewhat lucky to leave the Wizards.
In the Blazers, he has a more important tactical position, has more playing time, and even has some offensive tactics, which was never before the Wizards.
...
During the warm-up, Jordan went to the Wizards' bench to greet Wang Xiao and Curry and other old players, and agreed to have a meal together after the series.
However, the greeting returned to the greeting, and Jordan said with a serious face when he left: "I will definitely go all out in this series, and it is us who will win the championship trophy!"
Little Jordan's words made Curry and others laugh, and Caron Butler slapped him the shoulder of Jordan.
"Stinky boy, just wait and see, we will be the winners!"
...
Returning to the Trail Blazers bench, Jordan was preparing to shoot a few baskets to find the feel, but was caught by Durantella.
"De Andrew, what did you do there just now?"
"Say hello to the old teammates." Little Jordan smiled, "By the way, let's put a ruthless saying that we will win the final victory of the series."
Durant: "..."
