The Battle of King's Hill in the Finals between the Warriors and Celtics became the highlight of Andrew Wiggins' career. The 27-year-old Canadian striker made a team-high 23 shots in the game and carried the team on his shoulders as Curry went 0-of-9 from the outside and was in a slump. In times of crisis, Fang showed his heroic nature, and the mouth brother who was accustomed to being questioned used the team's highest 26 points and 13 rebounds to help the building, and used practical actions to fulfill his pre-game promise of "willing to do anything for the team for victory".
What is the force that makes the former court civil servant "Goji Brother" transform into a desperate samurai who desperately fights for rebounds, shoots decisively, and dares to take on the stage of the finals? In this regard, Wiggins told reporters: The Warriors have a winning atmosphere, and there are many people who constantly test, motivate and make you shoulder the sense of responsibility of the team, and the Warriors support each other internally, which is the love of the Warriors, which makes him better. ESPN reporter Mark Jones further revealed the real reason why Wiggins became so aggressive on the court and became such a good defender.
The answer is mike Brown, the new Kings coach and still a member of the Warriors' Teaching Assistants. As a chicken soup flow coach, Brown and Zui Brother have established a deep friendship and built up a strong self-confidence for the latter, so as to fully activate zuizu's subjective initiative. Mark Jones revealed: "Brown convinced himself that he could be an elite defender by showing Wiggins a video of him restraining James." Wiggins admits that such psychological cues and encouragement are useful, and he is now in a different team environment than when he was a Timberwolves, and his self-confidence is 100%.
How terrifying is Wiggins on the defensive end? Tatum, who also had a divine help in this game and scored 27 points, had the most to say - I don't know what kind of picture came to Tatum's mind in the fourth quarter, he actually did not seek misplaced opportunities but actively looked for opportunities to put with Wiggins. As a result, everyone saw that Tatum threw three threes in front of the mouth brother, which also set the tone for the trend of the decisive stage of the game, and also became a microcosm of the highlight moment of the mouth brother.
Interestingly, in the fifth game of the 1986 Finals, Mitchell Wiggins (the father of the mouth brother) who was a Rockets player at the time scored 16 points off the bench to help the team beat the Green Army and win the fifth game. Let's take a look at the performance of Brother Zui taking 10 points alone and leading the team to lay the winning momentum, this wave of proper fatherhood in the name of the father, the son inheriting the father's business, can be called the mouth brother for the upcoming Father's Day to send his father the best gift.
In the post-game interview, Wiggins told reporters that his most impressive Finals matchup was the 2019 Raptors and Warriors series. At that time, Wiggins must have supported his hometown team, the Toronto Raptors, to paraphrase the original words of the brother: "Interestingly, I am now on the opposite side, in the Warriors, and things are about to close the loop." ”
Of course, it's not just the Raptors, but also Tatum. Today's Tatum is supposed to have performed well, but unfortunately in the face of Wiggins or failed to go further, after the game, Tatum in 2012 on Twitter said that "Jabari Parker is better than Andrew Wiggins" The past was also pulled out by netizens, and it was crazy to pour salt on Tatum's wounds. Competitive sports, success and defeat. Jabari Parker, one of the parties involved, has been cut in 14 games for the Green Army this season, and Parker, who has suffered many serious injuries, has not been able to adapt to the NBA-level confrontation; On the other hand, Wiggins, as the essence of human control points, not only ensures the lower limit of the Warriors, but also plays the outside defensive tip to strictly defend Tatum, and as the schedule deepens his state getting better and better, the last two games have won 43 points and 29 rebounds, which is the rhythm of FMVP.
In the post-match interview, the mouth brother reiterated again: I just want to continue to win, no matter what needs to be done. Wiggins is really here this time, and the all-out mouth brother has become the X factor that breaks the balance of strength in the Finals. Can the Warriors end the series at North Shore Gardens? What kind of answer sheet will brother Zui finally hand over? Let's wait and see.
