On the 24th, the Wizards, sitting at the MCI Center at home, ushered in the team's second regular season contest with the Celtics this season.
Compared with the first game between the two teams, in this game, the Celtics obviously carefully reviewed the problems that occurred when they played against the Wizards last time, and carried out product iterations of their own tactics, striving to play shorter, faster and faster in the game. By combining punches and arranging a new defensive matrix, while breaking through the layers of siege nets set by the wizards on the field, you can stun the wizards with random punches and strive to kill them with one blow.
To put it simply...
In this game, the Celtics' shots from the outside were even more crazy and reckless.
In order to increase the team's firepower on the court, Celtics coach Jimmy O'Brien boldly used Joe Johnson, a rookie selected by the team this year, as the team's starting shooting guard during the game.
On the court, in the first quarter alone, the Celtics fired 14 times from beyond the three-point line, accounting for 70% of their total shots in the first quarter.
It's a pity that this too modern style of play is so incompatible with this era.
In fact, even the Wizards, who have emphasized the team's shooting from the outside this season, have averaged less than 20 three-pointers per game so far, only 19.1.
Due to the blessing of the "HC" rules, the assaulters in the current version of the game have been severely weakened. Therefore, when they are unable to crush the opponent's defense through sustained and effective assaults, they want to stably and accurately create outside openings. The opportunity to make a shot usually only depends on the pitcher's own movement, or if you have a killer weapon in the low post that can attract the opponent to attack.
Reggie Miller, whose physical fitness is relatively average in the superhuman league of the NBA, proved that as long as you can run, no matter whether the opponent's defensive player pulls or pulls or sticks out his tongue to dissipate heat, nothing can stop you from running. This era "ran out of my life".
The Lakers, who averaged 17 three-pointers per game in the same period, also proved that even if you don't run, as long as you can throw O'Neal inside, your own outside shooters can stand up for open three-pointers.
But here comes the problem...
In this Celtics formation, after Pierce, the only one with the ability to play in the low post, was locked up by Artest, how on earth did they manage to fire 14 times from beyond the three-point line in the first quarter this night?
It is true that in order to cover the shooters, Celtics head coach O'Brien designed a large number of off-ball pick-and-roll tactics for the Celtics players on the field.
But in front of the Wizards who have high mobility on the wings, because the Celtics' inside line can't even beat Gasol, the Wizards can also respond very calmly by expanding their defense.
In the first quarter of the game, the madness of the Celtics players shocked the young Wang Shuo.
Because under the premise of being unable to stably create three-point openings, the Celtics have chosen a path that even if Curry and Clay come in the future, they will have to cry out as unreasonable.
Utilizing the individual abilities of the players, Pierce, Walker, and Johnson, the three singles masters, teamed up to perform the song "Hearts of Steel" in the MCI Center that night, under the eyes of the Wizards wing who looked suspicious of life!
And the most amazing thing is that when the outside players on the court are so crazy, O'Brien only sent Tony Barty in the starting lineup tonight to fight for rebounds.
At the end of the first quarter, Boss Qiao once again became the biggest winner.
Because he was almost lying down, he grabbed 7 rebounds for the Wizards in the first quarter.
Before the start of the second quarter, during the break, Wang Shuo looked at the 14-28 scoreboard on the court. He turned to look at Mike Brown and asked: "What is Michael's average rebounds per game this season?"
Brown took out his notebook and replied: "12.1 times."
Hearing this, Wang Shuo suddenly took a breath of cold air.
Because if he remembers correctly, Ben, the league's rebounding leader this season, only averaged 13 rebounds per game despite exhaustion.
Wang Shuo feels that as long as Boss Joe is not injured, he may really win the sixth regular season MVP in his career this season.
You know, in Wang Shuo's original time and space, Tim Duncan, who won the regular season MVP this season, only averaged 25.5 points, 12.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 2.5 blocks per game.
In this era where defense is paramount, the answer that Duncan handed over in Wang Shuo's memory is nothing short of luxurious.
But the reason why Wang Shuo dares to use "cai" is because...
Right now, Boss Joe's scoring average is not only slightly higher than Duncan's, but while the two have almost the same number of rebounds, Boss Joe's assists per game are even significantly ahead of Duncan.
In addition, compared with the "double standard" NBA regular season MVP selection criteria that will be criticized by fans in the future, although there is a certain "shady" in the NBA's regular season MVP in any period, at least the judges of this period Not blatantly shady for the sake of shady.
In addition, this season, the Wizards are in the Eastern Conference, and the schedule pressure is much lower than that of the Spurs.
Therefore, if Jordan can really lead in terms of statistics and team record, in Wang Shuo's view, Boss Qiao really has a good chance of regaining the regular season MVP trophy that once became a big thing in the hearts of Qiao Mi.
As the saying goes, this time and that time.
In the 1990s, with Boss Joe dominating the game, it was impossible for Stern to deny other superstars any honors.
After all, how can Michael Jordan's dominance be demonstrated without a good opponent?
But now, with Boss Joe's comeback once again saving the league's ratings, and the league is in urgent need of a player and a team to step forward to help snipe the invincible O'Neal and the Lakers, to increase the suspense of the NBA championship. ...
Wang Shuo believes that as long as Jordan can be himself, his good brother Stern will definitely take action.
In fact, in Wang Shuo's previous life, Duncan was able to win the regular season MVP consecutively in the two seasons of 01/02 and 02/03. In addition to his own phenomenal performance, he and the Spurs he played for were the most promising to end the Lakers at that time. And the player and team that faced O'Neal did add a lot of points to him in the final selection.
You must know that in the NBA, except for a few players whose historical status is reduced instead of rising instead of being promoted by teammates and coaches, superstars and head coaches have always been prosperous.
For example, "Zen Master" Phil Jackson.
Before he was "disgraced" in the Knicks, the mainstream view in the American media had always been that Jordan, O'Neal, and Kobe became "Zen Masters", and "Zen Masters" also made Jordan, O'Neal, and Kobe Bryant.
There is also a certain Bobo who has held Duncan's thigh for twenty years.
Moreover, as a star league, if Wang Shuo can add this glorious deed called "helping 38-year-old Michael Jordan win the NBA regular season MVP" to his coaching resume, then in the future, he will be more important to other NBA stars. is attractive.
On the court, the Celtics defeated themselves early, so during the halftime break, Wang Shuo took advantage of Boss Qiao's opportunity to go to the toilet, and had sex with Boss Qiao in the toilet on the pretext of peeing together. A friendly exchange.
"Michael, do you still have room in your trophy room?" Wang Shuo looked at Jordan and asked.
Hearing this, Boss Qiao, who was still immersed in the feeling of comfort, obviously didn't react and just said softly "Hmm".
Seeing this, Wang Shuo continued: "I feel that your trophy room can definitely put another NBA regular season MVP trophy."
Now, Boss Qiao was no longer calm.
He even lifted his pants only halfway, then looked at Wang Shuo with surprise and said, "Are you serious?"
Perhaps it was because he was PUAed by Stern for so long that Jordan almost forgot that there was such a top personal honor in the NBA.
Wang Shuo nodded and said: "Now all your statistics are excellent, and as long as we win this game, we will start with 12 consecutive victories...
Unless you think we will collapse in the coming season, I have no reason to doubt that you are the number one candidate for the NBA regular season MVP this season. "
Jordan's breathing gradually became faster. After putting on his pants, Jordan said to Wang Shuo solemnly: "I don't want a personal honor to affect the overall performance of the team."
Looking at Jordan's expression that had already betrayed him, Wang Shuo knew that he had to accompany Jordan to continue the drama of "three concessions and three concessions", so he said: "How is it possible? Your performance is what determines whether we can The key to going further, okay?”
Jordan thought for a while and said, "Do you really think so?"
Wang Shuo thought to himself: "Can I still say that you are a cancer?" '
After a pause, Wang Shuo said to Jordan: "You can't let me cut my heart out and show it to you, can you?"
Wang Shuo's sincere expression completely moved Jordan and aroused his desire for personal honor.
The endless desire for team and personal honors is also the key to Jordan's ability to become the "God of Basketball."
After taking a deep breath, Jordan said to Wang Shuo: "Since you, as the team's head coach, have said so, what can I say as a player?"
In other words, at the moment when Jordan decided to once again challenge for the NBA regular season MVP, Wang Shuo also had a "ding" in his mind.
However, after briefly glancing at the new task that just popped up in the system, Wang Shuo did not choose to check it carefully. Instead, he patted Jordan on the shoulder and said: "If you believe me, then in the next game, you must Remember, assists and rebounds are the key to whether you can become the regular season MVP this season."
Judging from Danzi's current physical fitness, Wang Shuo knows very well that it is not impossible for him to average 30 points per game, but in that case, his efficiency will inevitably decrease.
Therefore, Wang Shuo hopes Jordan can focus on rebounds and assists rather than scoring.
Based on the current personnel structure and tactical configuration of the Wizards, Jordan can not only brush these two statistics easily and happily, but his teammates are also willing to cooperate.
The Wizards have no shortage of shooters on the perimeter.
Inside the Wizards, everyone wants to give Jordan a spot.
In the locker room, after Wang Shuo and Jordan came back from happily going to the bathroom together, they didn't know why, but the Wizards players and coaches just felt...
Boss Qiao's expression seems very happy and satisfied?
Wizards players and coaches who didn't know what kind of PY transaction the two men had carried out didn't dare to say or ask.
In the second half of the game, Hamilton and Artest, who were frequently fed by their idols, teamed up to score 5 three-pointers for the Wizards in the third quarter alone, using their strength to defeat the Celtics who were crazy about shooting from the outside tonight. .
Sometimes in basketball games, shooting more three-pointers is not necessarily a good thing.
In the end, the final score of the two teams in this game was 78 to 116.
The Celtics lost worse than when they first met.
Since the score gap between the two teams in the fourth quarter was too big, it was impossible for Boss Qiao to continue to collect data with his identity, status and pride. Therefore, at the end of the game, Boss Qiao's statistics for this game also stayed at 18. points, 17 rebounds, and 10 assists.
TNT TV station was very sure that he would never kiss Smith's butt when he first placed the bet. Recently, the countdown began. Barkley, who knew that it was only a matter of time before he kissed Smith's butt, suddenly became excited after watching another Wizards game. I feel like my 16 years in the NBA were in vain.
Barkley may have a bad mouth, but his IQ is really good.
He knew very well that with Wang Shuo's style of play, if it were him at his peak, he would not be able to monopolize the rebounding title?
At this moment, Barkley could not complain that Wang Shuo did not understand basketball.
He only regretted that he was born a few years earlier and had no chance to play under Wang Shuo.
But the more this happened, the more aggrieved Buckley felt.
Why are all the good things in the world taken away by Michael Jordan?
Why?
