Chapter 116: Boozer is injured and in a bad condition
Of course, the two sides were limited to verbal arguments and did not go any further.
At nearly 8 o'clock, the two teams returned to the players' tunnel to prepare for the entrance ceremony.
Just then, a cry of surprise came from the commentary room.
"Wow, look who this is? I actually came to our interpretation room. ”
"Let's welcome Charlie Rosen as a guest guest in the commentary room."
Two commentators from FOX cooperated.
It turned out that they invited "Ye Hei" Charlie Rosen tonight.
Ye Feng frowned involuntarily, this FOX can't get along with himself, is this the gift that the FOX reporter said before the game?
Got it!
Of course, the entrance ceremony will continue as usual.
The Cavaliers played first, and the No. 5 to No. 1 positions were: Ilgoskas, Boozer, Darius, Davis, and James.
The Wizards played as the home team and played later, and the No. 5 to No. 1 positions were: Kwame Brown, Leitner, Hayes, Hughes, and Arenas.
Stackhouse is still unavailable, which is very bad for the Wizards.
Honk~
The game begins.
Kwame Brown won the jump ball and the Wizards had the right to attack first.
"General No. 0" Arenas advanced with the ball and quickly advanced to the frontcourt, but found that the Cavaliers had already settled in position, and there was no chance to pick up the leaks, so they could only stabilize the rhythm and slowly play positional battles.
James didn't dare to slack off, and immediately defended Arenas to the death.
Since winning the Most Improved Player award last season, Arenas has improved faster and faster, showing the potential to be a superstar.
This season, in the past 10 games, Arenas has averaged 20+5+5+2 per game, and his three-point shooting rate has reached nearly 40%, with an average of nearly 3 shots per game. He is the number one man on the Wizards.
Of course, as a point guard, Arenas doesn't pass the ball.
In the first round, he handed the ball to his teammates. It's just that the Wizards don't have a third independent offensive point except for Arenas and Hughes.
More than ten seconds passed, and his teammates couldn't get a chance, and finally it was handed over to Arenas.
Looking at the timer, there are only 6 seconds left, and it is almost 24 seconds to violate.
Arenas chose to go it alone.
Syllable!
Adjusting the pace, Arenas suddenly activated.
James had expected it and defended very well, tightly jamming Arenas' position and spreading his hands to not give Arenas the slightest chance.
Seeing that the ball was about to be cold, Arenas made a sharp stop, leaned on James's chest, and directly pulled up a jumper.
James rose into the air, covered the sky with his two arms, blocked Arenas' shots, and his body was close to Arenas, giving a strong confrontation.
However, Arenas threw the ball out with a sharp back.
Then, with a bang, the basketball slipped into the hoop.
2:0!
The difficult pull-up jump shot was still after the confrontation, but Arenas just threw it.
After the goal, Arenas was so excited that he clenched his fists and roared.
The fans in Washington were also cheering, cheering on the heart of their team.
This ball is indeed beautiful! James defends very well, but people can just get in, what can you do?
James shook his head helplessly, hoping to get back on the field in the next round.
Ye Feng sat on the sidelines, looking at this ball, his eyes were also bursting with light.
If memory serves, Arenas will start to leap forward this season and suddenly become a top scorer who can compete with Kobe and Carter.
In the No. 1 position, Arenas has an absolute physical advantage.
In the league at the moment, only the "bearded" Byron Davis is stronger than him, and the two point guards, Billups and Payton, who are known for their strength, are also worse than Arenas.
Offensive and defensive transitions.
James attacked with the ball, and Arenas couldn't prevent James even more, after all, the size gap was there.
Sitting and pushing in, James was like a bulldozer, leaving Arenas helpless.
Just when Hughes wanted to come up to help defend, James suddenly turned his back, bypassed Arenas from the other side, and quickly entered the Wizards' field.
When the distance was almost up, James jumped straight up, and with a trademark tomahawk slam dunk, he slammed into the basket.
Syllable!
But at this moment, a big black coarse appeared in front of James, slapped the basketball, and even fanned James with the ball.
Kwame Brown, the legendary parallel trader.
He actually took on the new generation of champion James, and still used such a tough way, and the Washington fans cheered and whistled again.
As it turned out, Kwame Brown was not a qualified champion, but an excellent blue-collar worker.
His ball quotient is not high, but his physical talent is unquestionable, and when he makes the right choice, it is also very terrifying.
(In the year that Jordan left the Wizards, Brown got better and better, and you say it's not strange.) )
Veteran Leitner takes the basketball and passes directly to Arenas for a fast break.
Arenas and Hughes teamed up, and in the end, Hughes scored an easy layup.
4:0。
"Arenas and Brown are both in really good form and it looks like the Cavaliers are in trouble today."
That's not the point, in fact, the Cavaliers are not playing badly, and although the Wizards are in hot form, they only barely maintain a slight lead.
The trouble came in the fourth minute of the game, when Boozer fell to the ground in a scramble for a rebound, and then was crushed by Kwame Brown, who fell to the ground at the same time, and cried out in pain.
The injury was not serious after being examined by the team doctor, but Boozer was out for at least two to three weeks.
(This is the NBA, where injuries happen every day, and some people even reimburse a season, or an entire career.) )
The referee also played a replay of the video of the game, which showed that Kwame Brown did not commit a foul on purpose, but an accident that occurred during the scramble.
Therefore, Brown did not foul and the game continued.
Boozer went off the court, Darius naturally topped to the No. 4 position, James was No. 3, Davis was No. 2, and McGinnis was substituted at No. 1.
The score is 13-11 at the moment, and the Wizards only lead by 2 points.
The game continues, and the Wizards have the ball.
Arenas pushed up front, watched the situation, and handed the ball directly to veteran power forward Leitner at the No. 4 position.
Who is Leitner?
I guess no one knows.
But Lightner is definitely not a nobody, but a famous person.
In 1992, the United States formed a basketball dream team with a total of 12 players. Eleven of them are NBA superstars, and one is from the NCAA's Duke University, whose name is Leitner.
And Lightner squeezed out another college student candidate to make the cut.
The man who was squeezed out was called "Big Shark" Shaquille O'Neal.
This alone is estimated to be enough for Lightner to blow for a lifetime.
Leitner's status in the NCAA is what Jordan felt in the NBA.
In his rookie season in the NBA, Lightner averaged 18.2 points, 8.7 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.3 steals and 1 block per game, entered the best rookie team, and was also selected as an All-Star in his career.
While Boozer was there, Lightner was still under suppression.
As soon as Boozer left, replaced by the slightly thin Dalius, Leitner immediately occupied an absolute advantage, height, weight, experience, and technical ......
Darius defended very aggressively.
However, there are some things that can be compensated for by not being positive.
