Washington, D.C., will be the last stop of the Spurs' road trip, after going back, there will be a full 3 days of rest, so although the Spurs will only have one day of rest, the physical fatigue can not be eliminated, but the mood is still very happy, after the game, they will fly straight to San Antonio, home.

Old man Bobo specially found Lei Shui to ask about his physical condition before the game: "Lei, after several consecutive away games, everyone's physical consumption is very large, how is your physical condition?" ”

After all, Lei Shui's physical fitness will definitely be affected to a certain extent after experiencing such an intensive away game for the first time, but in the face of Bobo's old man's inquiry, he still beat his chest and said: "Physical fitness is no problem, and you can withstand 10 away games in a row!" ”

Old man Bobo nodded with satisfaction: "Well, but you can't overdraw your physical fitness, your style of play consumes too much, I will make adjustments to your playing time and playing style in this game, the passing in the last game was good, this game against the Wizards, I have a task for you, you have to execute it for me, which is conducive to the maintenance of your state and the adhesion of the team." ”

Lei Shui nodded and said, "Okay! What task? ”

Old man Bobo said: "The Wizards' two backcourts, John and Bradley, are both offensive and weak players, I believe that with your ability to attack and defend no problem, but in the recent game I found that the stronger you perform, the stronger the other players rely on you, their desire to attack will be weakened, this has been exposed in the game with the Bucks, you see that once the opponent packs you, you pass the ball, others can't complete the score, we will fall into passivity, the game is five people, I need you to mobilize other people's offenses instead of taking on too many offenses yourself. ”

Lei Shui nodded: "Okay, I'll pass the ball more." ”

Old man Bobo said: "It's not just passing, I need you to pass the ball according to tactics... The Wizards' power forward position is Markieff, I think this game should give Ade more opportunities, I will arrange more blocking tactics for the two of you, all you have to do is let him receive the ball in the open space and shoot comfortably. ”

Lei Shui understands what Old Man Bobo means, in fact, since the start of the game, Ade has not been in a good state at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, which has caused Ade to be very depressed, and often complains to Old Man Bobo, after all, an offensive-oriented player suddenly has to take on more defensive tasks than before, which will affect his overall performance.

Admin is playing the big forward position, but often has to share a little center work, because in fact, Gasol is also a big forward, but there is no suitable center player, so the top center position, both are not strong players, but skill players, Ade is 5 years younger than Gasol, naturally to help Gasol carry the inside line, in order to adapt to the confrontation, weight gain has a great impact on him, and the data is also showing a slippery slide decline, he now needs a game to regain confidence.

Lei Shui said that he was not tired is false, the most direct response is that the recovery is slower, if you follow the arrangement of the old man Bobo, go to block and dismantle and cooperate, reduce singles, you can better save physical strength, of course, it is better.

That night, the Spurs reverted to their regular lineup, with center Gasol, power forward Ade, small forward Leonard, point guard Raywater, and point guard Parker.

The Wizards started with center Gortat, power forward Morris, small forward Porter, point guard Beal, and point guard Wall.

Jumping the ball, the Wizards got the ball, the Wizards' overall speed was fast, Wall took the ball and broke through directly against Parker, and turned around to Gortat to hit a mid-range shot.

Spurs attacked, Parker took the ball over the half court and handed it to Lei Shui, Lei Shui and Ade made eye contact, Ade stepped forward to cover Lei Shui, the Wizards' defensive strategy borrowed from the Bucks, mainly for Lei Shui, as soon as Lei Shui broke through, Morris let go of Ade, and Bill both pounced on Lei Shui, Lei Shui pulled the defense away, and quickly passed back to Ade in the long distance, Ade was already a big vacancy at this time, the first shot missed, fortunately Gasol hit the basket, but the tactics have been completed very well.

The Wizards attacked, Morris missed the shot, Ade won the rebound, and at halftime, Thunder continued to play with Ade to block and dismantle, this time Ade seized the opportunity to shoot, and after this ball was hit, Ade made a decisive next shot and hit 3 shots in a row.

But the Wizards' fast play is also very efficient, the young Wall is like no one on Parker's defense, pull-up jump shots, attract defense and assist teammates, and also steal a pass from Parker to play a fast break, Wall's excellent play makes the Wizards still lead the Spurs by 1 point.

In the case of being able to score, both teams are playing step by step, after half a quarter, the Wizards team except for Beal, everyone else has scored in the account, Beal, as the team's main scoring point, has been floating outside the three-point line unhurriedly today, anyway, where the ball is, he is not there, occasionally the ball passes, but also quickly transition to other teammates, although Beal does not attack, but Lei Shui does not dare to stay away from Beal, because Beal's shooting ability can be said to be the strongest in the Wizards, fast and accurate, The shooting range can be extended all the way up to 2 meters beyond the three-point line.

In fact, this is also a tactic arranged by Coach Brooks, because Lei Shui's ability to assist and supplement defense is too strong, the Wizards can only temporarily sacrifice Beal's offense, to tear up the space, let the rest of the people play 4 to 4, and maximize Wall's speed advantage, so it seems that this tactic is still more effective, Wall scored 4 points in the first half of the quarter and sent 3 assists.

The Thunder only scored 2 points in the first quarter, 1 offensive rebound, but had 5 assists, and the defensive end showed little performance due to Beal's containment.

Old man Bobo certainly saw Brooks' intentions in this arrangement, and after a timeout, he replaced Danny Green in place of Parker.

Green replaced Thunder Water to defend Bill, and Thunder Water defended Wall, Thunder Water himself is relatively fast, so he knows that Wall's speed is the key to his role, Thunder Water when Wall is not half the court, he constantly stepped forward to interfere with Wall's advancing speed, so that he can't get up, and uses the advantage of height and arm length to interfere with Wall's sight, so that his rhythm is obviously much slower than Parker's defense.

Thunder Water defense Wall focuses on defensive breakthroughs and passes, as long as Wall does not enter the three-point line, give him a step of space, but Wall's three-point shooting is not ideal, dare not shoot easily, in such a rhythm, Wall becomes a little hesitant, once the point guard has a problem, then the team's rhythm is also disrupted, and the efficiency is greatly reduced, and the Wizards can not continue to attack.

At this time, Ade tasted the sweetness after several blocks and dismantlings with Lei Shui, frequently attacked successfully, and took advantage of the Wizards' scoring drought to get an 8-point lead.

Although the Spurs were very efficient during this time, they also entered the rotation time, and the old man Bobo began to change the bench.

Ade played very comfortably in this quarter, shooting 6 of 8 shots, 3 of 4 free throws, scoring 15 points, extremely efficient, you must know that Ade has several games this season, and he didn't score more than 15 points in the whole game, he also knows that this is thanks to Lei Shui's pass, when the two were replaced together, Ade stepped forward and high-fived Lei Shui in a row, he also hoped that this feeling could be maintained, holding Lei Shui's shoulder: "Lei, I have to say that your ball is too well passed, you don't need to adjust at all to shoot, and now I shoot as easily as a free throw." ”

Lei Shui smiled: "Brother, let's continue to play like this in the next quarter, I promise to let you shoot until your hands are sore." ”

Ade patted Lei Shui's shoulder and laughed, once a person's hand is smooth, the mood will also be smooth.

Although Lei Shui sacrificed his score in this section and only scored 2 points, he delivered 8 assists in a single quarter, and he went for 20+ assists.
