Chapter 219: Arenas Returns
After Arenas came to the training ground, he immediately high-fived all the Wizards players, but I don't know if he did it intentionally, and saved Li Kaiming for the last when he high-fived.
Li Kaiming didn't think much about it at first, the return of Arenas to him will definitely be more beneficial than disadvantageous, and now the Wizards lack a stable scoring point on the outside, Arenas is back, and the team's record can be guaranteed.
Arenas finally finished high-fiveing with the others, then turned his gaze to Li Kaiming, and after standing still for a second, Arenas squeezed an unnatural smile on his face and walked towards the latter.
"Lee, I saw your performance when I was recovering, it's amazing!"
Li Kaiming frowned, Arenas today seems to be a little different from the first time he saw him, but what is the difference, he doesn't come out.
If you have to describe it, it is the Arenas from before, just look at him like a god, and every move has a hint of domineering.
But now this Arenas, I can see a trace of jealousy in his eyes!
That's right, it's jealousy!
But Li Kaiming would not tear his face directly with Arenas because of a look, so he stretched out his arms and hugged Arenas.
"You're finally back!"
His words were sincere, but in the ears of Arenas, who had a complicated mind, they had a different meaning.
What are you doing here? It's the same with you or without this team! The record is even better than before!
Arenas patted Li Kaiming's shoulder, and a grim look flashed in his eyes.
Head coach Sanders saw his two generals hugging like "brothers", with a relieved smile on his face, with this right-hand man in hand, why can't he lead the team to play a good record?
Today's training still starts with the team's warm-up and joint practice, and Arenas is very serious about the team's training today, even Sanders praised Arenas, and when he came back, it was like a different person.
But in Li Kaiming's heart, a bad feeling gradually enveloped his heart, and it became more and more intense......
In the subsequent video analysis and team tactical drills, Li Kaiming finally knew the source of his uneasiness.
The first is the video analysis session, when Sanders, as usual, emphasized to the players that if the tactics are not successful, the ball will be handed over to Li Kaiming, Arenas on the side suddenly spoke up.
"Coach, it doesn't have to be handed over to Li!"
Sanders was stunned for a moment, but didn't pay much attention to it, so he smiled and said, "Ah, yes, now that Gilbert is back, he is also one of the choices after our tactical failure." ”
Arenas didn't have words, but the rest of the team began to mumble in their hearts, and now Arenas seems to be a little unkind!
As for who the object of this unkindness is, you can think of it with your toes!
The players involuntarily turned their eyes to Li Kaiming, who was listening to tactics on the other side, and couldn't help but sweat for the latter.
Arenas is almost as important on this Wizards team as Kobe Bryant is on the Lakers, and before that he was the undisputed leader of the team and the leader of the locker room, but now he has suffered a decline and injuries.
And Li Kaiming is the proud son, the future core of the Wizards' choice, originally this inside and outside, should just be coordinated, wait until the end of Arenas's career, and then hand over Li Kaiming, becoming a good talk in the NBA.
Even Arenas himself had thought so before this.
The Wizards chose Li Kaiming, the interior core, to assist him, and after he retired, the team boss let the latter take over.
But what everyone didn't expect was that Li Kaiming's strength was a little ridiculously strong! And even more coincidentally, at the beginning of the season, Arenas missed the game due to injury, and has been until now.
During this period, Li Kaiming not only did not lead the team to dive to the bottom of the division like another rookie of the week, Griffin, but single-handedly, with the Wizards team that competed for the championship last year, he successively slashed the finals team Magic, the playoffs and other strong teams, won consecutive victories so far, and also made history, winning both the Player of the Week and the best rookie in the first week!
With such terrifying records and statistics, how could Arenas not be terrified!
This is what the so-called high merit covers, when you think the team chooses a rookie to assist you, and as a result, this rookie has a worse lineup than you and has a stronger record than you, as long as you are a normal person, you will not have no ideas in your heart.
What's more, it's a boss like Arenas who has absolute dominance over the team!
So even if the injuries on his body have not fully recovered, Arenas can't sit still, and if he rests any longer, he is afraid that the injuries on his body have not yet healed, but the illness in his heart is even worse!
What happened in the video session was just an episode, and after that, Arenas didn't show anything else, but Li Kaiming had a hunch that the tactical training in the afternoon would be a new flashpoint of contradictions.
Time flies quickly, the afternoon training is mainly divided into two parts, one is to practice the tactics prepared by the Ming Knights, just watch the video or the tactical board is on paper, if you really want to put the tactics into practice, you have to rely on the running on the court. The second part is that the team is divided into two groups and trains against each other in groups.
Because Arenas is returning from injury, Sanders has placed him on the bench, and the starting lineup is still the previous five.
Because the substitute lineup originally lacked the main attacker, before this the main attacker was the sixth Rao Yi Jianlian, after Arenas came back, he naturally took over the ball of the substitute lineup and began to find his form.
The tactical drill session was no different from usual, but when it came to group confrontation, the problem immediately became apparent.
Li Kaiming is still the main dominator of the ball in the starting lineup, Hinrich and his cooperation are becoming more and more proficient, although Li Kaiming touches the ball a lot, but he does not dribble for a long time, most of the time he still lets Hinrich as a point guard dribble, he does more to deal with the ball after blocking and dismantling.
This made Arenas on the side a little surprised, he originally thought that Li Kaiming could get such good data, he should be eager to play every ball by himself, and let the point guard watch from the side.
However, this does not make Arenas eliminate his vigilance and vigilance against Li Kaiming, and besides, he came back to the team to stabilize his position as the boss of the team, not to observe how Li Kaiming played.
This is a pain for the substitute players, especially Yi Jianlian, after the return of Arenas, he was directly reduced to a tool man in the training match, and only made 2 shots in the whole game, and the other substitute players were also very similar.
This made Li Kaiming look down on it directly, and he pointed out Arenas's wrong behavior bluntly, "Gilbert, why don't you pass the ball to your teammates who are in the open position?" Obviously they have a better chance! ”
The entire training ground fell silent, and everyone looked at the two people in the middle of the field, tall and short.
Sanders is also a bit of a struggle, Arenas's behavior is really not right, but it is understandable that he wants to get back into form, after all, the latter is the only All-Star player on the team at the moment.
Arenas raised his head, his eyes gradually cold, "Lee, are you teaching me how to play?" I've been playing in the league for almost a decade, and I need you as a rookie to teach me how to play? ”
Li Kaiming shook his head, "Gilbert, this has nothing to do with experience, what is wrong is wrong, I believe you know better than me in your heart!" ”
Arenas sneered, "This is my team, I can play as much as I want!" ”
As soon as this sentence came out, the hearts of everyone present couldn't help beating violently a few times!
Is it time to come, is it finally coming?
