156. The mind of Arenas
"Huh"
Milicic received a pass from Ye Han and hit a long-range two-point shot. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Ye Han gave Milicic a high five, and it feels good to have a center forward who can contribute steadily after Okafor is gone.
Middle-distance, above-average singles, playballing, and ball-handling ...... The good qualities of the European players are gradually showing up in Milicic. Shooting 5-of-12 is a chilling advantage for a player who plays power forward and center, and 12 shots in 16 minutes of playing time is a bit too much for an interior lineman, but Milicic's seven assists and three blocks have made people forget about his shortcomings, and even almost forgot that he still couldn't play the ball before.
The Wizards attacked, no matter what Arenas said, Larry Hughes was determined to shoot himself, especially after Ye Han began to ignore Arenas and defend him, Larry Hughes wanted to prove himself even more and turn on the infinite fire mode.
“bang”
The unbelieving Larry Hughes has shot 6-of-22 from the field, from 1-of-12 from the court in the second half of the third quarter.
Gerald Wallace won the rebound, Ye Han shook off everyone quickly, received a long pass and took off into the air, and easily slammed the dunk.
"How could he be getting faster and faster!" Larry Hughes gasped, watching Ye Han seem to be moving faster and faster, and he gradually couldn't keep up with Ye Han's pace. When Kwame Brown helped before, it was difficult for the Bobcats to play a block, and Kwame Brown's superior physical fitness could delay Ye Han well and force the blockade to be interrupted.
But now Ye Han has chosen to directly and forcibly use his speed to pass Larry Hughes many times, and the latter gradually feels that he can't keep up with Ye Han's speed.
The Wizards attacked, and this time Arenas didn't pass the ball to Larry Hughes, but he wasn't much better, and his best pull-up jump shot was short. Arenas shot very positively this time, but with less power.
In the third quarter, Arenas, who played the entire first half, only rested for less than five minutes in the third quarter, and because Billy Thomas couldn't control Larry Hughes' crazy shots, Eddie Jordan was forced to replace Arenas to counterbalance Larry Hughes.
This directly caused Arenas to be physically exhausted, he looked at Ye Han was still so active, and thought: How can this kid be so jumping, isn't he tired?
Sometimes, good physical strength is also a kind of strength, and the strength of the Wizards is between a first-class team and a second-rate team, they have the strength of a first-class team, but they only have a third-rate substitute.
The Bobcat has Ye Han, a physical monster, who puts huge pressure on the Wizards when they are replaced on the bench, forcing them to overdraw the physical strength of the main force, and then take the initiative at the last moment.
With just over six minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Bobcats took advantage of a three-pointer from Capono to extend the margin to 11 points.
Then the Wizards called a timeout, but the timeout could not stop the Bobcats counterattack, after the timeout came back, the Bobcats changed to the starting lineup, and the defense was just a notch higher, and the well-rested Okafor plus the tired Gerald Wallace and Ye Han completely locked the Wizards' physical exhaustion of offense, and the Bobcats played a wave of 14-3 in 4 minutes, widening the difference to more than 20 points in one fell swoop, and laying the foundation for the victory.
105-90, the Bobcats won by 15 points over the Wizards.
36 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists, Ye Han is no longer surprising to get such data, and he occasionally can't score 20 points before it becomes a topic of conversation.
The fans in the stadium celebrated loudly for the Bobcats, as if this was the home court of the Bobcats, and the reporters also surrounded the Bobcats players, it is worth mentioning that people don't seem to be so interested in Ye Han of 36+11+4, they are more interested in Milicic, who broke out today and slashed 14 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists and 4 blocks on 5-of-12 shooting.
Indeed, scoring 14 points is not a big deal, for an insider, 6 rebounds in 19 minutes of playing time is not bad, but 7 assists and 4 blocks are impressive, is this still Milicic who never played more than 6 minutes in the Pistons and could only play in garbage time in the fourth quarter?
There is also that I heard that Ye Han beat Milicic in training, but today's tacit cooperation between the two, Ye Han did not hesitate to play the ball with this new little brother, and it made the situation in the Bobcats team become a topic that people want to know very much.
These reporters are all well-learned, and they know that getting news from Ye Han needs to see Ye Han's mood, and sometimes they look forward to it for a long time, not only can they not get the content they want, but they will also be ridiculed, so they turn their target to the young and immature Milicic.
Not to mention that Milicic, who has never been surrounded by so many reporters since the draft, and Arenas, who walked to the players' tunnel on the other side, now sighs.
Don't look at Arenas is very arrogant, very arrogant, usually likes to play tricks on people, as if he is the spokesperson of a bad boy. But when it comes to basketball, Arenas can be said to have given his best, from not being favored to now being the best scorer among point guards, and the time spent on basketball occupies more than half of his personal time.
Arenas worked so hard for his beloved basketball and his goal was not just to become an All-Star, he wanted to be an NBA champion, but that wasn't something he could do alone.
Helper, Arenas is very desperate for help.
The Wizards' starting point now seems to be good, and they can even wrestle with a team like the Heat, but that's based on Larry Hughes' explosion this year, Larry Hughes wants a big contract and makes no secret of his desire to leave. Add to that the flaws he exposed in today's game, and Arenas is clear that Larry Hughes isn't the championship-level helper he wants.
Now the only star on the Wizards team who is satisfied with Arenas is Antoine Jamison, who is very low-key, and quietly scored 19 points and 8 rebounds on 8-of-15 shooting today.
Arenas was taking a shower with an idea that he threw aside, and the idea that came to him was, if he wanted to win the championship, would he have to cooperate with others and leave the Wizards? After all, the Wizards owner is a bit picky, and he is reluctant to spend a lot of money to renew the star.
However, Arenas didn't think much about leaving the Wizards, for whom the Wizards were the first team to respect him.
Prior to the Arenas clause, he became a restricted free agent at the end of his two-year contract. At this time, the Warriors were forced to face one thing, that is, they could only offer Arenas a contract of less than 5 million, but that year Arenas played a value of tens of millions, and many teams released rumors that they wanted to get Arenas, and other teams other than the Warriors could offer contracts of no more than 25% of the salary cap, that is, contracts with a starting salary of 13 million.
However, to the Warriors' delight, not many teams have officially contacted Arenas, and the management of those teams is hesitant to give the point guard, who averages 18.8 points, 4.7 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game, a contract with a high salary. They feared that the second-round show was just a flash in the pan.
Just when Arenas was depressed and ready to accept reality, the Wizards appeared, and they did not hesitate to give Arenas a long-term contract with a starting salary of 8.5 million, up to 6 years, and a salary of up to 14 million in the last year.
So, what Arenas has been doing now is to bring in stars everywhere and show the team's quality to attract opponents during the game.
It's just that today's game against the Bobcats was messed up, which made Arenas have a hint of wanting to hug Ye Han's thigh.
