The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

Curry, who ran out of the perimeter, made an action to catch the ball, but the basketball did not reach him.

The one who received the basketball was Jamison who rushed to the bottom corner three-point line in the next moment!

"Damn! Not Curry!"

At this time, three players were already approaching Curry under Van Gundy's previous tactical arrangement. When they saw that the ball fell into Jamison's hands, everyone couldn't help but froze for a moment.

The fastest responder was Howard, he accelerated and rushed towards Jamison.

Jamison had just caught the ball and was about to raise his hand to shoot when he saw Howard's figure covering the sky.

Without the slightest hesitation, Jamison hit the basketball to the ground, and the basketball passed along Howard's legs to the inside.

In the interior, Nick Yang is already in place.

Nick Young, who is in a reasonable collision zone, is not unmarked, and by his side is Magic guard Nelson.

But when he saw Nelson defending Nick Young, Van Gundy's heart sank.

"Oops!"

Although Nick Young is a guard, he is 2.01 meters tall. Nelson, who is only 1.83 meters tall, is too short to form an effective defense against Nick Young under the basket.

Sure enough, after receiving the basketball, Nick Young took off and dunked. Nelson jumped up to defend with all his strength, but he didn't interfere with Nick Young's shot.

The basketball was pushed into the basket by Nick Young, and the two points were valid!

4 seconds left in the game! It's not over yet!

Van Gundy subconsciously raised his hand to pause, but immediately froze.

The Magic have no timeouts.

4 seconds, from the backcourt serve to the frontcourt attack, the time is not enough at all, and there is no timeout to arrange tactics, only rely on the performance of the players on the field.

"The last ball! The whole court is pressing! Don't let them catch the ball and advance!"

Wang Xiao shouted from the sidelines.

The current lineup of the Wizards has a lot of holes in their defensive capabilities, but this does not mean that they have no defense at all.

When you concentrate and get serious, the defensive effect is still possible.

Under the relentless marking of the five players of the Wizards, it was difficult for the Magic to send the ball. The 5 seconds of the serve were about to pass. As a last resort, Matt Barnes, who executed the serve, had no choice but to bite the bullet and pass the ball. The ball goes to Howard, who is the only one who can catch it.

Seeing Howard catch the ball, Van Gundy couldn't help covering his forehead.

He understood Barnes' approach. After all, it was better to pass the ball than to hand over the ball to the opponent after a violation.

But passing the ball to Howard is basically equivalent to announcing the failure of the game in advance!

After receiving the pass, Howard subconsciously seemed to be looking for his teammates to pass the ball, but the teammates around him were in a state of strict defense, and the rash pass was likely to be cut off, and the time of 4 seconds was fleeting, so there was no room for him There is the slightest hesitation.

He could only rush to the Wizards' backcourt with the ball.

Howard's speed is no less than that of a defender, but this refers to his sprint speed. When he is dribbling, his speed will be greatly reduced. After all, he is not a center who is good at handling the ball.

When he rushed to the backcourt of the Wizards, time was running out. In desperation, Howard could only shoot a jumper one step away from the three-point line.

When the basketball was flying in the air, the whistle for the end of the game sounded, followed by the basketball flying to the basket, and then slammed into the backboard without touching the basket at all.

"Howard missed a three-pointer, and the game ended! The Wizards won the game with a 1-point advantage!"

On the field, Van Gundy looked at Wang Xiao who was celebrating with his players, and couldn't help shaking his head.

"This kid is really capable."

Being able to arrange a substitute player to perform a lore at the last moment is not something that ordinary coaches can achieve.

Of course, Van Gundy didn't know. Wang Xiao, who had watched the rehearsal of the next situation, knew exactly which player had a better chance on the court. Nick Young's substitute was indeed the player who received the least attention on the court, and also the one with the greatest chance.

Even knowing this, when Nick Young received the ball, Wang Xiao was still sweating.

The brain circuit of the black question mark emoticon pack is not particularly normal, and in the future he will be a frequent visitor of the five big jocks. He is really a little afraid that at the critical moment, Nick Yang will short-circuit his brain and make a weird operation to ruin the game.

Fortunately, Nick Young has proved with his performance that he can still be trusted a little bit.

Howard's face was not very good-looking, and he was very upset at this time.

Especially when he missed a three-pointer, Butler ran over again and said to him with a smile, "Look, you still haven't scored 50 points."

Howard's final score was fixed at 49 points. This score was already terrifying, almost scoring half of the team's points, but the super high score was piled up with more free throws.

Howard took a large part of the responsibility for the loss of the Magic in this game. He made 38 free throws in the game, breaking the NBA regular season free throw record in a single game. However, Howard only hit 19 of the 38 free throws. , the hit rate is just over 50%, which is pretty bad.

"Man, you really need to practice free throws." After putting down such a sentence, Butler happily ran to celebrate the victory with his teammates.

The victory of this game is very important for the Wizards.

The Magic are one of the Wizards' main rivals in the East.

After defeating the magic team, the records of the two teams increased and decreased, both of which were 28 wins and 12 losses. However, because the Wizards won the Magic team in an away game, the Wizards successfully surpassed the Magic because of the direct win-loss difference. Team, return to the second place in the Eastern Conference!

In the next two games, the Wizards' opponents are the Bulls and the Kings. One is at the bottom of the West, and the other is still struggling for a place in the playoffs in the East.

The Wizards easily won these two games and won 8 consecutive victories.

Halfway through the season, the 30-12 Wizards have a winning rate of 71%, second only to the Cleveland Cavaliers' 74.5% and the Los Angeles Lakers' 72% in the league.

The league has become a little numb to this situation. They don't understand what's wrong with this world. A team that takes more than half of the team's three-point shots can achieve such a record. Is the three-point shot really so good? Or does Wang Xiao, the head coach, really have incredible magical powers?

People didn't agonize over this issue for too long, because with the game in January, the NBA's annual All-Star Weekend has already begun preparations.

The 2010 All-Star Weekend is the 59th NBA All-Star Game, hosted by the Dallas Mavericks.

In the first round of All-Star voting not long ago, LeBron James led the league in votes.

It is worth mentioning that Curry, Harden, Butler and Jamison of the Wizards are also on the list, and Stephen Curry has the highest number of votes.

Under Wang Xiao's system, Curry performed very well. He once scored 50 points in a single game in December, and scored 44 points in the game against the Magic in January. In just one game, Curry averaged 25.3 points per game, ranking seventh on the scoring list, which is pretty good for a rookie.

However, although Curry has a large number of votes, the possibility of being selected as the All-Star starter is not high, because there are two top guards in the East, Iverson and Wade. There is a big gap, and the current number of votes is far behind these two in third place.
