"Finally quit, these two guys were so scary just now!" Finally, in the ultra-long-distance three-point rush that was farther than the other, when Meng Xu and Arenas both extended their shots to only about three meters away from the center circle, their shots were finally ironed. Seeing this scene, Michaels on the commentary bench finally breathed a sigh of relief, this was the first time in Michaels' commentary career that he was happy that the players on the court missed the shot, because Michaels knew that if these two guys were shooting like this, his heart would definitely not be able to stand it.

"It's really too difficult to get this kind of distance, and the position where they just shot is already 10 meters away from the basket." After seeing Meng Xu and Arenas lose their shots in that position just now, Magic Johnson also has a little regret, although this kind of shooting is scary, but every ball is a classic, classic goals, naturally never get tired of watching, the more the better.

Although he couldn't continue to fight against Meng Xu, Arenas didn't have any frustration, but a relaxed face, and when he looked at Meng Xu in front of him, Arenas also smiled at Meng Xu rarely.

Enlightened! This is the true portrayal of Arenas at this moment. Unruly and never admit defeat is engraved in Arenas's bones, Arenas's basketball career is a career of continuous counterattacks, contact basketball, high school, college, NBA, every time Arenas will be looked down upon, but every time Arenas will slap them in the face, and this "special" career has also made Arenas develop a character that likes challenges. When he was in the Warriors, after constantly hearing the story of Meng Xu and Duncan from head coach Mike Budenholzer, Arenas vowed in his heart that one day he would become a player like Duncan and Meng Xu, and challenge them and beat them, not only for his basketball dream, but also for Mike Budenholzer's expectations of himself, although for some special reasons, Arenas left the Warriors and Mike Budenholzer, But Arenas will never forget his promise to Mike Budenholzer.

Therefore, before today's game, Arenas was full of confidence to fight with Meng Xu, and the outstanding performance of the game in the first quarter also made Arenas's confidence unprecedentedly high, but in the few minutes when he was directly opposite Meng Xu at the beginning of the second quarter, Arenas had a sense of frustration, the feeling of being stuck in the quagmire and unable to extricate himself, and even made Arenas a little decadent. And with the three-point exchange just now, Arenas not only found a way to deal with Meng Xu, but also found his own basketball path.

When Arenas was with the Warriors, since he originally played as a sixth man, the head coach didn't ask too much of him, scoring, scoring, or scoring, and that was Arenas' only task. However, with the continuous rise of Arenas's strength, after being promoted to the starter by Mike Budenholzer, Mike Budenholzer wanted to make Arenas a two-way guard who could both organize and score, but the good times did not last long, just one season later, Arenas came to the Wizards, because of the presence of the Wizards Marbury, so Arenas went to play shooting guard instead, and after losing the ball and the familiar system, Arenas could no longer find the feeling of being in the Warriors, for a whole season, Although Arenas did not slack off on the training ground, Arenas found that he had not improved at all for a whole season, and even gradually lost his rhythm of the game, and now, Arenas has found his own path, that is, to score, to score, to kill, to kill.

After several ultra-long-distance three-pointers in a row, Arenas completely let go of the burden in his heart, although Meng Xu's defensive intensity is getting bigger and bigger, but Arenas does not have any hesitation and retreat, and is still very decisive, as long as there is a chance, no matter where he is, even if it is two meters or even three meters outside the three-point line, Arenas will make a decisive shot, and Arenas's seemingly X** shot, but he can still maintain a good shooting rate, Arenas made a total of 9 three-pointers in the second quarter, Hit 5 of them.

The three-point shooting rate of 5 of 9 shots is already very good, but for the Wizards who want to chase points, this shooting rate is a little insufficient, especially after the three three-pointers of Arenas and Meng Xu, Arenas's three-point shot behind is 2 of 6, so although Arenas scored 15 points in the first quarter, he scored 17 points in the second quarter, but at the end of the game, the Wizards were 48-61, 13 points behind the Pacers.

Although the difference between the two sides seems to be getting bigger and bigger, after getting the technical statistics of the first half, even Magic Johnson was very surprised by Arenas's performance in the entire first half, 32 points in the half, even Kobe, who averaged 34 points per game this season, is not so easy to score 32 points in the half of the game in the face of Meng Xu and the Pacers.

"What a pity." Although he is very appreciative of Arenas' performance in this game, Magic Johnson is no longer optimistic about the prospects of the Wizards in this game or even the entire series, because he has clearly seen Marbury's expression when he left the court, although Marbury did not have a seizure on the court, but for Arenas's behavior on the court, don't say Marbury, even Magic Johnson himself can't bear it, I can give it, but you can't grab it! Marbury can endure this breath, which shows that Marbury is still more concerned about the overall situation, but if you want Marbury to do anything in this game, you must not think about it, Marbury is not contributing, Arenas's performance is against the sky, and the Wizards cannot defeat the Pacers.

"That's true, after the start of the second half, the Pacers will definitely exert their strength, with the current state of the Wizards, it's too difficult。。。。。。"

After a short break, the second half of the game began, but unexpectedly, Marbury, who is the boss of the Wizards, did not play, but sat on the bench.

Although it has led the Wizards by 13 points, but after the start of the second half, the Pacers sacrificed a full-court pressing tactic, under the suffocating high-intensity defense, the Wizards obviously could not adapt to the rhythm of the court, in the face of a series of mistakes, Eddie Jordan called three timeouts in a row, but the situation on the court is getting worse and worse, less than half of the third quarter was played, the difference between the two sides reached 22 points, for the Pacers and the Wizards, the first game of this series has basically ended.

Finally, when the game was over, 82-103, the Pacers defeated the Wizards at home and made a good start to the playoffs, and the most outstanding performance in this game was the Wizards' Arenas, although the Wizards eventually lost the game, but Arenas shot 17 of 34 in this game, including 7 of 15 three-pointers and 7 of 9 free throws, scoring a career-high 48 points in his playoff career.
