After Li Kaiming saw Sanders' hand movements, he felt a little relieved, as long as the coaching staff and uniform team were fair, did not mix with any human feelings, and purely compared the level of basketball, then he was not afraid of competing with Arenas at all.

The Cavaliers had closed the gap to four points in just three rounds, but Arenas still didn't realize it and continued to go his own way.

Originally, Arenas was a player who played relatively alone, and now he happened to encounter competition with Li Kaiming, so he naturally would not give up every opportunity to prove himself.

He will never allow himself to become a cancer and a brush in the eyes of the fans!

McGee served to Arenas, who dribbled to the frontcourt, but after several consecutive offensive failures, Arenas, as a former All-Star player, should still have the ability to adjust, this time he no longer forced himself to rely on his individual ability to break through Mo Williams, but beckoned McGee to come up and hang a block.

With the help of cover, Arenas finally picked up the speed and got rid of the entanglement of Mo Williams, and the Cavaliers' backup center Ryan Hollins is the more traditional interior lineman, proficient in various interior techniques, but moves slowly.

Encountering Arenas who was speedy, Hollins was passed by one step, but the Cavaliers forward Joey Graham in the bottom corner on the other side immediately made up for the defense, although he did not cover Arenas's layup, but the latter also lost the ability to control his body in the air in order to avoid the defense, plus the impact of injuries, this offense did not jump very high.

If it was Arenas at his peak, even if Graham defended well, this goal could have been scored, but Arenas can't do it now.

The basketball smashed into the neck of the basket and bounced up to be picked up by Hollins, who followed behind, and the Cavaliers immediately launched a fast break.

Mo Williams ran up front, received a pass from Hollins, and dribbled to the three-point line in the frontcourt.

The rest of the Wizards helped Arenas stop Mo Williams, who belatedly kept his body in front of Mo Williams.

Li Kaiming was terrified on the bench, if the Cavaliers scored this goal again, with his understanding of Sanders, he would definitely call a timeout to adjust this timeout, but I don't know what Sanders will say to Arenas.

Sanders was able to take Arenas out of the starting lineup and let him take the substitute alone, which seemed to be to let Li Kaiming win a clash with his neighbors, but in fact, if you think about it carefully, you know that Sanders still moved a little thought.

Putting Arenas on the bench will not affect the performance of the starting lineup, but also avoid the conflict between Li Kaiming and Arenas, and the most important thing is to allow Arenas to control the ball without any scruples, so that the latter can find form.

In fact, this operation is very beneficial to Arenas, as a team coach, the first task is to ensure the team's record, Sanders can think of this method in such a short time, he didn't use his brain last night, Li Kaiming didn't believe it.

Saunders' idea is good, but the premise of this idea is that Arenas can't be too bad, at least to be at the average of starters, and not hold the team back.

But a few rounds in the second quarter, Arenas' performance not only dragged the team back, but even dragged the Wizards' bench lineup.

As the head coach of the team, Sanders can naturally see that the current state of Arenas is hurting the team as long as he is on the field!

Although Sanders has not seen the real-time technical statistics at the moment, he can understand that Arenas' current plus/minus is 100% at the bottom of the team, and it is also the kind of lead where the second place can't see the taillights.

A plus/minus is a measure of a player's contribution on the field, which roughly means how many points the team can score or lose during the player's play.

For example, the current Arenas, after the first quarter just started playing, the Wizards fell behind, and the plus/minus of Arenas at that time was negative, and even the plus/minus of starters such as Li Kaiming was also negative.

But after Arenas went off the court, the starting lineup of Hinrich's return overtook the score again, then Li Kaiming and other Rao plus or minus values would become positive, as for Arenas, after the second quarter came up, he filled his plus or minus again for three consecutive rounds with firewood!

Williams' fast break was stopped, so he started running again, and the Cavaliers were limited by the team's lineup, and the other team core Jamison was absent due to injury, so the rest of the team was almost limited to playing without the ball.

There is only one Williams on the ball, and the rest of the people run without the ball, and the Cavaliers' three-point shooting is not good, so even the off-ball running is concentrated inside the three-point line.

Williams got to the free-throw line with a pick-and-roll, and substitute forward Graham, who started to cross from the corners, had a chance, and Williams hit the ball to the latter, and Graham went around the screen to pounce on the Wizards.

The Wizards' backup forward is Trevor Booker, who is averaging less than 10 minutes per game just over a week after the start of the season.

Because Alssoton and Li Kaiming firmly occupy the starting position of the forward position, and Sun Yue is now gradually gaining the trust of Sanders, there is no need for Booker to play less time in several consecutive games.

Bu Jiao has a sense of crisis in his heart, as a first-round pick, his expectations for himself are naturally relatively high, but now even Sun Yue can see obvious progress, but he has not yet adapted to the intensity of the NBA.

Booker, who was rushing towards Graham in the air, was thinking about other things, and didn't notice that his defense jumped too big this time!

Graham's ball just shot, Bu knocked his arm immediately arrived, directly overturned the former, the referee whistle, at the same time, Graham's mid-range also tossed a few times on the basket, and then fell into the basket!

2+1！

Trevor Booker's face was pale, although he played few NBA games, but his resume as a professional player is not shallow, and he naturally knows very well what it means to score this goal!

As expected, next to the Wizards' bench, Sanders finally couldn't help it and directly applied for a timeout!

Obviously, his own substitute and face ratio are not weak at all, and there is even a strong point of Arenas, but after going up, he didn't get 1 point, but was beaten 7 to 0 by a group of stinky fish and rotten shrimp on the opposite side!

Since the team selected Li Kaiming, only the Wizards have always defeated the strong with the weak, and no other weak team has ever turned over to be the master and pressed the Wizards to play.

But now he was beaten to a timeout by one of the best bad teams in the league, how could he bear it?

As soon as Trevor Booker got off the court, he was scolded by Sanders, which made Li Kaiming, who was watching the excitement, feel a little distressed.

Booker's mistakes are easy for rookies to make, and they aren't a big deal at all, but Sanders' attitude is as if Booker lost the O'Brien Cup he was about to go.

After criticizing Booker, Sanders turned his head to Arenas, a look of regret flashing through his eyes.

Then he said directly to Li Kaiming, "Li, you will come on the field with the starters later, don't come back to see me if you can't lead by double digits at halftime!" ”

Li Kaiming stood up with confidence, "Don't worry, coach!" ”

Arenas, who took the initiative to sit in the corner, had an unbelievable expression on his face after hearing Sanders' words to Li Kaiming!

When did Sanders get so crazy? Isn't he very modest and low-key?

And, listening to them, it's easy to lead by 10 points at halftime?

Arenas only felt that his worldview had been impacted, when he was in his prime, Sanders had never said this to him, although the Cavaliers were indeed not strong, but now they actually think that a rookie can bring the momentum of the game back?

Are you kidding?

Arenas covered his head with a towel, but quietly looked through a gap in the middle to the court.

At the same time, the corners of his mouth slowly raised an arc......

I'm going to see how you get the game back......
