Time flies in a blink of an eye, and in a blink of an eye, time comes to the end of January.

And during this period, the Wizards' momentum was soaring.

Since the team lost consecutive games at the beginning of the season, the Wizards who entered January have obviously changed.

From the original offensive chaos to the current situation, we can now play very smooth offensive cooperation.

Although there are still considerable flaws in some tactical running positions, they are obviously stronger than the Wizards at the beginning of the season.

As of January 24, the Wizards' record has reached 13 wins and 5 losses, second only to the Bulls and the Heat, ranking third in the East.

During this period, whenever the outcome of the game becomes unsurprising, Yang Fan will give Chandler Parsons and Bertans more playing time.

This also led to the average average of the two men's games starting to rise sharply, and even seemed to be even better than another player on the bench Jimmy Butler.

Among them, Chandler Parsons can contribute 13.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game while playing 23.1 minutes per game.

You know, Chandler Parsons is the player the Wizards only selected in the second round of this year, so the value of this data is very valuable.

Especially when Chandler Parsons was chosen by Yang Fan himself, this made others even more envious.

Because according to the wheel of history, no player has lost any rookies selected by Yang Fan.

Even the most incredible Danny Green can contribute 8.3 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.1 steals this season.

Apart from Chandler Parsons, although Bertans' performance was not that amazing, he could also contribute 10.1 points and 3.8 rebounds.

The most important thing is that as a big player of 2.08 meters, Bertans' three-point shooting percentage is as high as 41.2%.

Even though this has a lot to do with the Wizards' main tactics, Bertans has gained more open opportunities on the offensive end.

But no matter what, Bertans' excellent shooting range has made him the best inside pitcher in this draft.

The only flaw is probably that it is a bit powerless on the defensive end, but with the Wizards' tactics to make up, Bertans' defense does not seem bad.

…………………

On January 26, an uninvited guest was welcomed at the MIC Center Arena.

In this game, the Wizards will be at home and face the challenge of the Miami Heat for the first time this season.

As the Thunder have been suppressed by the league this season, the Heat have undoubtedly become a rising star that the league has been strongly supported.

Especially when the Big Three are all healthy, all Heat games can be overcrowded.

Currently, Wizards head coach Yang Fan just led the Thunder to crush the dream of the Big Three last season.

So when Yang Fan came to the East to coach the Wizards in the new season, this game was naturally full.

Even if the Heat beat the Wizards in this game, they cannot make up for the negative losses of not winning the championship last season, but at least they can get some interest back on Yang Fan's head.

It's just a pity that when fans thought that the Heat's Big Three would do their best and then defeated the Wizards away to avenge the crush last season, the Wizards played extremely tenaciously in this game.

Faced with the Heat, which is currently ranked second in the league, this Wizards, who are mostly recruits, have a strong desire to win.

Especially Paul George, when facing LeBron James, not only was he not afraid at all, but he also performed a phenomenal performance.

Paul George made a complete shot from inside and outside in the entire first half, and he played on the offensive end.

Even though the Heat later began to use double-team tactics, George still scored 26 points in the first half, helping the Wizards keep a close eye on the score and always maintain the suspense of the game.

After the start of the third quarter, the Heat, led by James and Wei, once set off an offensive frenzy, and took the opportunity to expand the score to double digits.

However, the Wizards were not discouraged at all and quickly smoothed the score under the leadership of Wall and Paul George.

Until the fourth quarter was more than five minutes before the end of the game, the Wizards once led the Heat by 3 points.

However, at the last moment of the game, the Wizards' youthful shortcomings were fully exposed.

Especially when there were only more than three minutes left before the end of the game, as soon as the Heat's defensive strength increased, Thompson and others' outside shots became more restrained.

Even Paul George, who performed well throughout the game, was a little weak at the last moment.

In the end, the Heat Big Three successfully stabilized the situation at the last moment with better game experience, completed the reversal with a slight advantage of 4 points, and won this gaping game in a slightly embarrassed manner.

Paul George was crazy in the whole game, but unfortunately, at the last moment, he failed to help the Wizards kill the Heat outraged due to lack of confidence.

George made 13 of 19 shots in the whole game, including 6 of 9 from outside the three-point line and 7 of 8 free throws, scoring 39 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists very efficiently.

And 39 points in a single game also set a new career high for Paul George.

In addition, Chinese player Yi Jianlian, who came on as a substitute, also played his best game since this season.

Yi Jianlian only made 16 minutes of the game, but during these 16 minutes of playing time, Yi Jianlian made 5 of 5 shots, including 1 of 1 from outside the three-point line and 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 13 points and 4 rebounds with a 100% shooting percentage.

After the game, the Wizards who lost the game were obviously depressed because they almost overturned the arrogant Heat in this game.

It’s just a pity that it’s just a little short. At the end of the day, the Wizards made continuous blacksmiths, which ruined the victory with their own hands.

Especially Paul George, who scored 39 points in the whole game, looked a little lonely after the game, standing in the middle of the court.

"Happy, Paul, you played very well in this game. Losing is not your own fault. If you look out for it, you have created a milestone in your scoring path."

"You know, this is just the second season of your career, and your progress is impressive."

"The last-minute shooting hesitation is not that you are not good enough, but that you are already mature because you want to win the game, so you seem hesitant in shooting."
Chapter completed!
