NBA: I'm really not a point guard god

For many people.

The Wizards' performance in the second quarter was nothing short of disastrous.

And the No.1 who needs to take the blame for this is the head coach Collins.

Most of the second quarter.

The Wizards lineup is.

Point guard Tyronn Lue.

Shooting guard Hamilton.

Small forward Tyron Nesby.

Power forward Puoboye Jones.

Center Brandon Haywood.

In fact, for most of the second quarter, the Kings also played with the bench.

It's just that the Wizards' bench lineup is no match for the Kings at all.

Although, Lu, Hamilton, and Heywood can still start from time to time.

Hamilton was a proper starter before his injury.

However, with this lineup, the Wizards still couldn't stop the King's offense.

At halftime.

57: 50.

The Wizards fell behind instead.

What's more terrible is that this era is completely different from before.

In the era when technical statistics were performed by hand.

Many things can only be given a fairer evaluation by those who specialize in data analysis after the event and compare the game videos bit by bit.

It's completely different now.

If you want to know the efficiency of a team and a player in a specific period of time, just click your finger and you will know it soon.

The Kings scored 26 points in the second quarter, while the Wizards had only 18 points.

What's more terrible is when the main players of the two teams are on the field.

The Wizards scored 8 points, and the Kings only scored 7 points.

After replacing the bench, the Kings made a 19-10 point difference.

In one fell swoop to reverse the decline.

This also makes fans who support the Wizards especially unable to forgive coach Collins.

Obviously, the main force on his side is stronger.

When falling behind, they still stubbornly refused to send the main players on the field.

You can say that Collins is trying to protect Jordan and Barkley and minimize their playing time.

Everyone can understand these.

But what about others?

Especially Zhou Yao, he is a rookie, only 17 years old.

Is it also lack of physical strength?

Chris Webber will be 29 soon, and he's playing 20 minutes.

Verratti Divac, who just turned 34, also played 19 minutes.

You are a 17-year-old rookie who only played 17 minutes in the first half, how dare you!

……

The third quarter begins.

Bibby seized the opportunity to pass the ball to Divac.

As a result, the latter made a low-level mistake, and a butter hand appeared.

Didn't catch the ball.

The basketball was grabbed by Jordan.

Immediately launch a fast attack.

Arenas made a layup, but unfortunately missed.

Jahidi White grabs the rebound.

The news came out at the first time to let Zhou Yao reorganize the attack.

Zhou Yao handed the ball to Jordan.

From beyond the three-point line, he shot 87% from the field.

Already very good.

Jordan made a three-pointer.

As a result, Christie jumped high and touched the basketball with her fingertips.

Do not enter again.

Barkley gets the rebound.

He cooperated with Zhou Yao.

When the two passed each other, they handed the ball to Zhou Yao.

"Want to fill blue?"

"It's not that easy!"

Zhou Yao has already jumped high.

Looks like it's about to dunk.

Coach Adelman repeatedly exhorted.

If Zhou Yao wants to shoot a three-pointer, he must be restrained.

If Zhou Yao is inside the three-point line, unless Zhou Yao wants to dunk, you can ignore it.

However, if Zhou Yao is already under the basket, he must be prevented from dunking.

Weber is not the Kenyon Martin who was psychologically shadowed by Zhou Yao.

With him sitting under the basket, how could Zhou Yao dunk comfortably!

Seeing that Zhou Yao had the idea of ​​scoring, Weber had already pounced on him.

Although he is a relatively strong offensive and defensive forward.

However, under Weber's defense, it is not easy for Zhou Yao to successfully dunk.

Moreover, Divac has also followed.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yao didn't intend to score.

Although it was at the basket, with a 47% shooting rate, even if it was a dunk, Zhou Yao didn't mean it.

What's more, Barkley's shooting percentage is 82%.

White is at 67%.

Arenas also has 61%.

Jordan has 97% from beyond the three-point line.

Why did Zhou Yao choose to score by himself?

At this time, the form on the court was that Weber and Divac came to prevent Zhou Yao from dunking.

Peja seemed to be struggling, but he firmly resisted White.

Bibby stood next to Barkley.

Christie is defending Arenas.

What are the king's men doing?

No one is going to defend Jordan!

Although, by running, Jordan detoured from outside the left three-point line to outside the right three-point line.

But, that's Jordan!

Defensive leaks are not terrible.

The point is, no one should miss Jordan!

This kind of opportunity is rare.

Zhou Yao didn't hesitate at all.

Bibby was the first to notice that his team had no one to guard Jordan.

It's too late to rush over first.

Three point hit.

57: 53.

……

King's attack.

Peja returned color.

The shot was made.

Unfortunately, this is the third time he has stepped on the line in this game.

Just 2 points again.

Here comes the Wizards.

Jordan dribbles the ball across half court.

Assisted Zhou Yao to hit a three-pointer.

59: 56.

The third quarter has just started, and there is only a 3-point difference.

……

"Coach Collins is finally starting to wake up!"

"A game is a game."

"Now is not the time to let the main players of the Wizards save their energy!"

"Winning is the key to getting the Wizards into the playoffs."

"The Wizards' record is now No. [-] in the Eastern Conference."

"But this is also because they haven't encountered many strong teams in previous games."

"The record of 35 wins and 11 losses is indeed very strong."

"But if there are only 35 wins, the Wizards still can't make the playoffs."

"Although, I am not saying that the Wizards cannot win in the following games."

"The reality is that even last season's rotten Wizards team had some wins after the All-Star break."

"However, I still have to remind everyone on the Wizards here."

"Thinking that everything will be fine if you have won 35 wins, this kind of mentality is unacceptable."

"Aren't there too few things in the league that capsized in the gutter at the last moment?"

"What's more, the current record of the Wizards is not the end of the playoffs."

"They should also have a longer-term goal."

"At least, they should be fighting for a better position for the playoffs now."

"It will be helpful for them to have more home courts."

Compared with tnt, espn is still not so optimistic about the rookie team.

Of course, the record of 35 wins and 11 losses also makes ESPN dare not really speak out.

They are happy to see some remarks that are not conducive to the Wizards at the right time.

During the intermission, the espn commentator had the most intense attack on the Wizards and Coach Collins.

But now, the Wizards recovered the score in a short period of time.

They are not good enough to say more.

In the eyes of many people, the Wizards continued to recover the score.

The king seemed powerless to fight back.

But, is this really the case...
