Chapter 637: A Bad Stomach

"Gilbert, calm down." Watching the head coach call a timeout, Gilbert Arenas, who slammed the basketball to the floor, Antoine Jamison, who was not far from Arenas, quickly ran over and grabbed Arenas's arm, Arenas's move just now was easy to eat a technical foul, and the current situation on the court was already very unfavorable to the Wizards, if Arenas, who was the core of the team, was making a draw, the Wizards would really be finished.

Or Arenas has already made a draw now, in the past few minutes, Arenas, who was taken care of by Meng Xu, refused all the coverage and blocking of his teammates, and was very persistent in one-on-one heads-up with Meng Xu, but the results of the heads-up were very frustrating, Arenas attacked four times in a row, failed to get rid of Meng Xu's defense, and finally could only make a hasty shot far away from the three-point line, and the shooting rate of one of the four shots was also very unsatisfactory.

After being almost locked by Meng Xu on the offensive end, Arenas obviously couldn't swallow this breath, and in a moment of anger, Arenas chose to switch positions with Caron Butler to defend Meng Xu alone, Caron Butler and Antoine Jamison, who are much better than Arenas, were only ravaged by Meng Xu, let alone Arenas, so the final result was not surprising, Meng Xu played four of the five offenses under the defense of Arenas, and even scored 10 points with free throws.

The score of 10-3 made Arenas, who had boasted of defeating the Pacers before the start of the game, and Arenas, who defeated Meng Xu, was very faceless, but what made Arenas even more faceless was that after Meng Xu broke through and hit a layup, Arenas, who picked up the basketball, was about to attack, but head coach Eddie Jordan called a timeout and kept gesturing towards Arenas, which made Arenas, who had already worked hard to win Meng Xu again, very annoyed, so after seeing the head coach's gestures, Arenas slammed the basketball to the floor to vent his anger.

Although Arenas was in a very unhappy mood at this moment, seeing Antoine Jamison, who was standing beside him, pulling himself and constantly persuading him, Arenas still endured it and walked towards the bench stupidly. This team of Wizards is Arenas, in order to correct Arenas, the Wizards sent away players like Steve Marbury, it is no exaggeration to say that as long as Arenas expresses his dissatisfaction to the management, head coach Eddie Jordan will definitely leave, in this team, Arenas will not look at anyone's face, but there is a person's face and opinion, Arenas must respect and take care of, that is, Antoine Jamison, Arenas's big brother when Arenas was in the Warriors.

Antoine Jamison is super capable but easy-going, so in the eyes of the outside world, Antoine Jamison will never be a qualified leader, which is the main reason why the Warriors chose to trade Antoine Jamison after losing Arenas. Although there is no way to become a qualified leader, Antoine Jamison is a very good leading big brother, when Arenas first entered the Warriors, Antoine Jamison took good care of Arenas, so for Antoine Jamison, Arenas has always been very respectful in his heart, although the Wizards traded Antoine Jamison to assist Arenas, but Arenas never had the idea of treating Antoine Jamison as a younger brother, not now, and not in the future.

After Antoine Jamison's persuasion, Arenas, who returned to the bench, gradually calmed down, and after Arenas's impulse just now, the Pacers have widened the gap to 11 points, if the Wizards do not respond accordingly, I am afraid that by the end of the first half, the Wizards have already explained.

"This guy is really bad." Arenas, who had already figured it out, looked at the Pacers bench in the distance and sighed softly, no wonder Meng Xu wanted to come and fight with him, and he also made remarks from time to time to provoke himself, I am afraid that Meng Xu and the Pacers were already studying themselves and trying to target themselves after the end of a round of games, even before the start of the playoffs.

I am also aware of my own shortcomings, like most black players in this league, Arenas's character also has more or less problems, unruly, not calm enough, easy to be emotional, and very easy to be hot-headed under the stimulation of opponents, and Meng Xu, who has been led by Larry Bird for several seasons, is a master of psychological warfare like Larry Bird, if there is such an obvious flaw, then Meng Xu is not Meng Xu.

Although he had tried to calm down and understood the reason, the mistake was irreparable, and Arenas had now fully experienced the true meaning of the phrase "impulse is the devil", and in just three minutes, the situation on the field was moving in an irreparable direction.

Just when Arenas reappeared with a little guilt and was about to fight back, Arenas found that the Pacers had changed lineups, and Sarunas Jascovitius, who was almost a defensive hole in the previous game, was replaced by an unknown rookie wearing the No. 42 jersey, and the Pacers' main center NN Hilario also sat on the bench, and he was replaced by James Posey, the sixth man of the Pacers this season. An ominous premonition suddenly rose in Arenas's heart.

"Tony, don't be nervous, come on!" As the game was about to start, Meng Xu gently patted and cheered on the new No. 42 player, who was the last big bargain for the Pacers in the first round this season, and was called by Anna as Tony Allen, whose defensive ability is comparable to Gary Payton.

Today's game, it is the first time that Tony Allen has played in the playoffs, due to his weak offensive ability, so Tony Allen is very inconspicuous on the bench of the Pacers, in the regular season this season, Tony Allen only averages about 5 minutes per game, which is not as good as the second-round pick Chris Duhon, but Tony Allen is not without his own shining points, excellent defensive awareness and physical fitness, which is where Tony Allen attracts Rick Carlisle, and Tony Allen also believes, There is always a day for him to shine, and now, maybe it is the time for him to shine brightly, smile at Meng Xu, and then Tony Allen ran towards Arenas, the defensive object that the head coach arranged for him, without hesitation.

Tony Allen, Tyshawn Pullin, Meng Xu, James Posey, Jermaine O'Neal, this is the lineup sent by Rick Carlisle after the timeout, the Wizards' interior line is very weak, and Jermaine O'Neal alone is enough to deal with it, so Rick Carlisle sent James Posey to strengthen the Wizards' outside defense, and replaced Sarunas Jascovitius with Tony Allen, also for the same consideration, although Sarunas Jascovisius's offense and organization are excellent, But his defense is so poor that he always needs Meng Xu and Tyshawn Prince to make up for him, which greatly drags down the overall defensive efficiency of the Pacers, especially when Sarunas Jascovisius needs to play against a guard with excellent offensive ability like Arenas, his shortcomings in defense are even more obvious.

"Is this guy a mad dog?" As soon as the game began, Arenas tasted the power of this unknown player, with a strong body, excellent arm span, super defensive awareness and movement speed, which made the guy in front of him extremely difficult.
