NBA: Start the water cooler and reach the Hall of Fame

JJ Hickson's ability to catch dislocations is still very good. No matter how powerful Hinrich is, he is only a defender after all. Facing the [-]th position who is nearly a head higher than him, he still can't resist with all his strength.

The Wizards made the first attack of the second half. Hinrich held the ball across the half court, intending to fight fire with fire. After a pick-and-roll with Li Kaiming, he went inside and forced the Cavaliers to switch defenses.

But unexpectedly, the two defenders of the Cavaliers directly chose to double-team Li Kaiming, and did not play defense at all. In desperation, Hinrich took the ball to the penalty area by himself, and Brac under the basket bullied Varejao two-on-one. , Brac scored two points.

Seeing that the team's tactics were executed so well when he was not there, Arenas, who was sitting on the bench, doubted himself. Did I really break the balance of the team?

No, impossible, absolutely impossible!

Arenas' eyes were a little red, and he clenched his fists. I just don't feel good today. As long as I get back to my form, this team is still mine!

Wizards coach Saunders, who was watching the game from the sidelines, did not expect that his good intentions not only failed to let Arenas find himself, but stimulated him to go astray...

In the middle of the third quarter, the Wizards still maintained a double-digit lead. Saunders felt that the starting lineup had played enough time, so he took advantage of the official timeout to put Li Kaiming, Hinrich and Brad Odd three people replaced.

Trevor Booker was directly abandoned by Sanders in this game because of the defense in the first half.

To a certain extent, Booker's misfortune was unwarranted. Sanders was obviously a little annoyed by Arenas, just in time for Booker's mistake. If you don't take your anger out on who?

Seeing that he finally had a chance to prove himself again, Arenas immediately stood up from the bench.

Sanders stopped him, "Gilbert, don't force yourself to shoot, play smarter!"

These words were very reasonable in the first place, but when they heard Arenas' ears at this time, the taste changed.

What's the meaning?Even you say I'm not playing smart enough?Why can that guy fight as he wants?I used to play like this before, why didn't you say it?

Arenas has gone crazy!What he feels now is that after he returns from injury, the whole world is targeting him!

It's scary to be a horny person. At this time, Arenas got into such a horny corner. Others criticized him only because he was not in a good state. As long as he can get back to the state, all problems can be easily solved.

Therefore, Sanders' kind reminder did not bring Arenas back to his senses, but it was an accelerator for his crazy shots on the court!

Before the injury, although Arenas played more independently and was not the kind of player who likes to drive his teammates, he also averaged 5 assists per game, which shows that his passing skills are still there.

In this game, it was purely that Arenas didn't want to pass the ball!

Larry Drew finally let Mo Williams rest, the latter has not been off from the beginning to now, Jamison is not there, he has to play the leading role alone.

The Cavaliers took the backup point guard, Ramon Sessions, who averaged 8 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists per game last season, may be the only player in the Cavaliers' bench that can do it.

At the start of the game, Sanders on the sidelines observed the situation with his hands on his hips, thinking to himself, "Gilbert, I can only help you so far. If you don't play well, God can't help you..."

But Arenas gave him a job in the first round. He watched Li Kaiming fast break to the three-point line and directly pull up. As a representative of difficult three-pointers, how could he play against him Lost to a rookie on his forte?

So after receiving the ball, Arenas dribbled to the frontcourt. His teammates had just settled down and were about to run according to the tactics of the pre-match drill. As a result, Arenas pulled out directly outside the three-point line!

After seeing this scene, Sanders on the sidelines couldn't bear it anymore, turned around and threw the tactical board to the ground!

But fortunately, Arenas actually scored this goal, which did not cause a greater loss to the Wizards, but this goal did not make Arenas change in the eyes of Sanders.

Whether or not to score is a matter of personal ability, but whether to play according to tactics is a matter of player quality.

This is also why most coaches hate the thorny players. They watch videos before the game, formulate tactics, and work for several days, but everything is disrupted after playing!

This is an insult to the job of coaching!

But Arenas didn't think so. On the contrary, the ball just now greatly strengthened his confidence, so he chose to put aside tactics again in the next round and solve it by himself.

But tonight's basket didn't give him face, his shot was exchanged for a loud iron strike, and the Cavaliers used this backcourt rebound to successfully score a fast break!

……

Within 5 minutes after Arenas came on the court, the Cavaliers slowly approached the score again, while the rest of the Wizards were reduced to complete tools. To open space, the defensive end must help Arenas wipe his ass.

Five minutes later, Sanders, who was livid on the sidelines, had to take the initiative to call a timeout again!

At this time, the score of the two sides was 77 to 70. The point difference was not the most important thing, but he really couldn't see Arenas thriving on the field alone!

Xiu'er, stop showing off, come down and I'll reward you with your favorite big mouth!

If he can beat Arenas, Sanders will definitely slap the latter without hesitation!

Having been in the coaching profession for so many years, this is the first time that such a player can break Sanders' defense to such an extent in just one game. With the help of Si, he cured his hypotension for many years...

So not surprisingly, Li Kaiming led the starting lineup to go into battle again, three times, five divisions, and within the next 7 minutes, the point difference was widened to 15 points!

Li Kaiming's strength is one aspect, and the Cavaliers' weakness is another important reason. After the end of the third quarter, the Wizards played 97-82 at home, almost turning the game into garbage time.

Li Kaiming has already scored 30+ in three quarters.The commentators and guests at the scene couldn't help but sigh with emotion. They have been watching the game for so many years, and this is the first time they have seen a rookie who can score so easily.

When other rookies entered the league, not only did they not score very high, but their shooting percentage dropped significantly. However, Li Kaiming was lucky. Both of them improved at the same time. To them, this was simply a miracle!

In order to secure the victory, Sanders let Li Kaiming lead the team to play for a while at the beginning of the fourth quarter. It was not until Larry Drew on the opposite side took the initiative to replace the substitute that the outcome of the game was completely overwhelmed. coffin conclusion.

Arenas, who was on the bench, was a little excited when he saw that Sanders was going to be on the bench. He could go on the field to find his status again, but he didn't expect that Sanders didn't even look at him. , directly let Ryan Hudson, who hadn't played for a long time, play!

After seeing this scene, Arenas was stunned for a while, then sat down on the chair in despair...

The time passed by every minute and every second, and the game soon ended at the referee's whistle. The Washington Wizards beat the Cavaliers 112 to 96 at home, winning five consecutive victories since the start of the game, and still maintained the myth of being undefeated , The number one throne in the Eastern Conference is also firmly occupied by the Wizards.

李凯明全场出战33分钟，投篮18中14，其中三分球5中3，罚球4中4，得到35分7篮板8助攻1抢断，辛里奇的表现依旧稳定，全场拿下10分8助攻，尼克杨找回状态拿到15分4篮板，布拉奇16分12篮板再夺两双。

There is only one player in the team with a shooting percentage lower than half, and that is Arenas, who shoots wildly during the game. He basically plays as a substitute, but he has 15 shots in the game, second only to Li Kaiming, but he is in the same position as the latter. In stark contrast, Arenas only hit 3 goals in the whole game, and all of them were three-pointers. That is to say, the latter scored 20 points with a 9% shooting rate, and also made 6 turnovers !

In the interview with reporters after the game, Arenas was absent directly, and he didn't even go back to the locker room.

Li Kaiming appeared in the post-match interview, but he rejected all questions related to Arenas. He believed that after this game, the management should know who to choose...

At the end of the interview, a reporter asked him a question, "Li, why do you score 30 points every game? Is it easy to score in the NBA?"

Li Kaiming shrugged his shoulders, "Isn't it? An average of 30 points is less than 8 points in a quarter. Wouldn't it be enough to throw two three-pointers and layup?"
