Chapter 223 Arenas Brings a Substitute

And until Li Kaiming scored a three-pointer, Arenas still did not come to the frontcourt.

Wizards head coach Saunders couldn't bear it anymore, and directly asked the referee for a timeout!

Standing on the field, Li Kaiming glanced at Arenas' somewhat lonely back, and felt quite uncomfortable.

If Arenas doesn't engage in any power struggles with him, he is very interested in winning the championship with Arenas during the rookie contract, and then becoming an indelible part of the history of the Wizards.

But the matter has come to this point, the conflict has been aroused, and it is impossible for him to sympathize with Arenas anymore.

He didn't believe that a team full of internal conflicts could achieve a good record in the NBA, so for the team's record, he and Arenas had to go together!

After Sanders and Arenas whispered a few words, Arenas was replaced directly, and then replaced with the original starting lineup, and the point guard became Kirk Hinrich.

As soon as Hinrich came on the court, the Wizards' ball movement immediately became a hundred times smoother!

No, it may be countless times, because when Arenas is on the court, there is no movement of the ball at all, either in his hands or in Li Kaiming's hands.

After the timeout ended, the Cavaliers attacked, and the opportunity came from small forward Jamari Moen. The latter got a temporary open shot from within one step of the three-point line. Casting, the posture is very handsome, and the sound of blacksmithing is also very loud!

Blatche received the rebound and gave it to point guard Hinrich. Blatche felt like all the pores of his body were open in an instant!

It's so cool to pass the ball without using brain cells!

Hinrich dribbled the ball to the front court, and with the help of Li Kaiming's cover, he broke through two steps into the three-point line. JJ Hickson and Mo Williams both went to defend Li Kaiming, and instead gave Hinrich a chance, Hinrich Throw the shot two meters away from the basket and hit it steadily!

10 is better than 6!

After scoring the goal, Hinrich and Li Kaiming clapped hands. Although the ball did not reflect the role of Li Kaiming in terms of statistics, Hinrich who scored the goal knew that half of the goal was due to Li Kaiming.

After the pick-and-roll with Li Kaiming, the two defenders will put most of their attention on the former, which gives the person with the ball a chance to call the screen.

So in theory, it would be easier for anyone to play with Li Kaiming, because Li Kaiming is good at various offensive skills and can perfectly adapt to any lineup.

The Cavaliers' offensive end has not scored several times in a row, so this time Mo Williams chose to suppress the rhythm and wait until the last ten seconds before making a shot.

In this case, if you play fast with the Wizards, it is estimated that you can reach double figures within 5 minutes. Mo Williams' choice is very correct.

Others couldn't score when they had a chance, and Mo Williams was going to solve it by himself this time.

With nine seconds left on the offensive clock, Mo Williams started from outside the three-point line and used the cover to kill the inside line. Blatche couldn't keep up with the speed and tried his best to cover Mo Williams with his arms, but he was still caught by the latter. scored.

10 is better than 8!

There are 6 minutes left in the first quarter.

At the beginning of the game, the offensive efficiency of both sides was very low. Because of Arenas, the Wizards made three consecutive shots and only made one hit. Naturally, the team's efficiency was not much higher.

As for the Cavaliers, it is because the lineup is really bad, Jamison has not recovered yet, and the only player in the Cavaliers lineup who can play is Mo Williams.

None of the rest averaged more than 10 points per game. The starting center Varejao is a floor player who can only eat cakes and act.

JJ Hickson has one of the best physical fitness among the starters, but against Li Kaiming, who is 5 cm taller than him and has all-round physical attributes, JJ Hickson is like a college player who has just entered the league.

It is not too much to say that apart from Mo Williams, the remaining players in this Cavaliers team are a bunch of rotten fish and shrimp.

This is also currently in the NBA, the Wizards are one of the few teams that can have an advantage in the lineup.

Mo Williams can respond to a ball, but not to a string of Wizards shots.

After Arenas left the field, the Wizards resumed Sanders' tactical system again. Using Li Kaiming's strong offensive force, the Wizards' offensive space was stretched to infinity.

Coupled with the fact that the lineup already has an advantage, even if Mo Williams is strong alone, he can't withstand the indiscriminate bombardment of a group of Wizards.

Although the Wizards' own defense is not good, but who makes the Cavaliers' offense worse?

The Wizards didn't even start to defend, and the Cavaliers almost smashed the basket on the MCI field in a single quarter!

The first quarter ended quickly, and the Wizards extended their lead to 32 points 24 to 8.

The point difference could have been bigger, but for some reason, Sanders replaced Li Kaiming with 3 minutes before the end of the first quarter.

But fortunately, the Cavaliers were competitive enough. The full starting lineup played back and forth with the Wizards without Li Kaiming and Arenas, which didn't make the score close.

第一节下来之后,李凯明出战9分钟,5中4,三分1中1得到9分3篮板2助攻。

During the break between festivals, the two commentators at the scene talked about Arenas.

One of the white men with beards said, "After Sanders replaced Arenas, he never got a chance to play again. Could it be that his injury has recurred?"

Another mixed-race commentator shook his head, "This possibility is unlikely, Arenas' injury is still quite serious, if it is really a recurrence of an old injury, the team doctor will definitely ask him to check in the locker room to be cautious, but Now Arenas is still sitting on the bench!"

Speaking of which, if two people look at each other, there is only one possibility!

At this moment, the referee blew his whistle, and the second quarter began!

As expected by the two commentators, Arenas appeared in the Wizards' lineup in the second quarter.

The Wizards lineup in the second quarter was very strange. Except for one point guard who was Arenas in the starting lineup, everyone else was a substitute!

In other words, in order to prevent Li Kaiming and Arenas from directly conflicting, Sanders put Arenas on the bench!

When it comes to the bench lineup, Arenas has the final say on how to play the ball?

In the first round, the Cavaliers attacked, and Mo Williams turned into a donkey for the production team. After the first quarter was full, there was still no rest in the second quarter.

In the Wizards' bench lineup, Yi Jianlian is the power forward and McGee is the center.

Neither of these two can deal with defenders who are good at breaking through, and they are beaten into one by Mo Williams.

32 is better than 26!

The Wizards were attacking, and Li Kaiming was sitting on the bench, staring at Arenas on the court. He wanted to see how Arenas would play if he was not on the court.

Arenas received McGee's serve, dribbled the ball skillfully to the frontcourt, faced Mo Williams' defense, and swung past the latter with a sharp change of direction.

But the injury made his speed not as good as before. Mo Williams chased closely behind Arenas, and Varejao also blocked Arenas' attacking route!

If it was Arenas before, maybe he would find McGee under the basket at this time.

But now it was Arenas who was blinded by hatred, and his vision of passing the ball was mediocre, so he just gritted his teeth and went on his own!

Arenas' layup missed the basket under the interference of Varejao, and the rebound was grabbed by Ramon Sessions.

When the Cavaliers attacked, Mo Williams had a clear mind and broke through to the free throw line with the help of a screen. After the Wizards shrank, they gave the ball to Sessions who ran out of the baseline.

Sessions catches the ball and turns around for a drift jumper and hits the board!

32 is better than 28!

Li Kaiming, who was sitting on the bench, clearly saw that coach Saunders' hands turned into fists, and then let go again...

It seems that the coach does not support the way Arenas plays.

Li Kaiming breathed a sigh of relief, afraid that Sanders would consider his friendship with Arenas, and the two would join forces to squeeze him out.

But for now, Coach Sanders is still very upright.
