Chapter 268: Finals Opening (2)

For Wang Xiao, Durant has always had a trace of gratitude and awe.
Gratitude comes from Wang Xiao's support for him.
As a professional basketball player, no one wants to be the second child.
At the time of the draft conference, no one was optimistic about Durant becoming the champion. Almost everyone thought that Oden was the son of the natural selection and the person who deserved the title.
Only Wang Xiao made a different voice at that time, and put it into action.
So Durant became the nba champion, and caused a huge sensation in the league.
The results of the draft have come out, and things cannot be reversed. Wang Xiao was expelled from the Blazers for his reckless actions, but the matter is not over yet.
Oden, who accidentally fell to the top of the list, then repeatedly criticized Wang Xiao, and more than once said that after the regular season, he should give Durant a good lesson to make him understand who is truly worthy of the top spot.
Portland's "fans" don't buy it, all kinds of slogans are posted on the streets.
Something like "We don't want Kevin, we want Greg!" "Greg is the real champion!"
After the surprise at the time, Durant spent a long and difficult summer, and everyone was questioning him, which made Durant seem to be carrying a mountain, and the heavyness almost made him breathless.
But while the pressure was high, a burst of anger was brewing in Durant's chest.
He started training desperately, trying every means to become stronger, so that his thin body can withstand the high-intensity physical confrontation of nba.
He wanted to prove that he definitely deserved the title of No. 1 champion, better than Oden!
Now, he did it, and led the team to the finals at the age of 23!
This kind of experience made Durant very grateful to Wang Xiao's wisdom and knowledge of English at that time. Even if there was no incentive for Wang Xiao to choose him as the champion, he might not be able to reach such a high level of feeling.
While grateful, Durant also felt a little awe in Wang Xiao's heart.
The reason is very simple, Wang Xiao is not just selected him.
After returning to the league in 2009 as the Wizards coach, Wang Xiao has successively selected several players with great potential.
One of the best is Curry.
Curry was born in March 1988, and Durant was in September 1988, six months younger than Curry.
Durant entered the league in 2007, two years earlier than Curry in 2009.
But now, Curry has held two regular season mvp awards, becoming the youngest regular season mvp in history, but he only has the honor of two scoring kings, even in the past two years in terms of scoring competition Curry.
Obviously, under Wang Xiao's hands, Curry is growing faster than him!
The Wizards have more than one Curry, but also James Harden, Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, who broke with James.
For Wang Xiao's vision and ability, Durant can be said to be an admirable five-body investment. Even he can't help but think that if Wang Xiao has not been expelled from the Blazers and has been coaching himself, is it possible that the youngest regular season mvp is What about yourself?
"guys!"
auzw.com Durant is still in amazement, and the Blazers coach Nate McMillan started calling the players.
The game is about to start.
The Wizards' starting lineup remains the same forever. Point guard Curry, point guard Thompson, small forward Leonard, power forward George, center McGee.
On the Blazers side, the starting lineup is point guard Miller, point guard Matthews, small forward Durant, power forward Aldridge, and center small Jordan.
The two teams jumped the ball in the lap, McGee beat Jordan, and basketball was allocated to Curry.
In fact, McGee's talent does not lose Little Jordan, and he even beats the opponent in height and arm span. Otherwise, he will not be higher than Little Jordan in the 2008 draft. Unfortunately, due to attention deficit disorder, Mai Ji's concentration on the field is far less than that of Jordan.
Fortunately, in the first few minutes, McGee was able to concentrate.
Curry controlled Andre Miller. After holding the ball to the frontcourt, he signaled his teammates to open up space to prepare for a singles.
Miller's experience is strong and his body is tough, but the 36-year-old's age inevitably affects his speed and agility. Curry quickly changed his body and passed Miller's half body, rushing straight into the restricted area.
When Jordan saw it, he immediately stepped forward to defend, but Curry had expected it.
I saw him stop pretending to shoot. The deceived little Jordan threw the basketball into the air immediately before and after. Little Jordan rose from the ground behind McGee. After catching the basketball in the air, he dunked it into the basket.
"boom!"
A beautiful empty dunk drew the audience at the opening!
After listening to the excited cheers of the fans off the court, McMillan just shook hands with Wang Xiao and returned to the bench with no hot ass. McMillan couldn't help but stood up and walked to the side and shouted: "Weiss Lee! Wesley! Go and help Andrea!"
The Blazers apparently carefully studied the Wizards' tactics and developed "targeted" tactics, but they may not be ready to use them from the beginning.
However, Curry simply passed Miller neatly, forcing them to execute the plan ahead of time.
On the Blazers' side, Durant hit a shot after a pick-and-roll to change the score to a 2:2 draw, and the Blazers players on the field switched defenses.
Wesley Matthews, a shooting guard, started marking Curry, and Andre Miller followed Thompson.
In terms of defensive ability, Matthews may not be much better than the experienced Miller, but the young and strong he can keep up with Curry's speed. This alone is enough to make it a series of defense Curry. The main force.
With a height of 1.96 meters and 100 kilograms, Matthews is taller than Curry, and even faster than Curry.
Although in the nba game, strong does not directly represent strength, but it can also play a role.
However, Wang Xiao on the Wizards had expected such a possible "sex".
Curry can't be scored against Matthews, but the efficiency will always be affected.
Now that the Wizards are full of talent, there is absolutely no need to attack this point of low efficiency.
Curry handed the ball over to George who was pulled out, and then ran out of the three-point line to the corner. Thompson and others also pulled away, leaving space for George.
George is Aldridge who is 2.11 meters tall and weighs 118 kilograms.
Among power forwards, Aldridge is a very fast pace inside, but compared with George, who is a small forward, the speed difference between the two is even greater than that of Curry and Miller.
George has the ability to shoot with a three-pointer. Aldridge didn't dare to let George shoot in the outside vacancy and could only follow the defense. But as soon as he chased to the outside, George immediately used the speed to break through.
