Chapter 394: Great General
This year, Arenas, who was not plagued by injuries, was at his peak and was known as the "Great General." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Yang Di saw that the system showed Arenas's title - a pump-prone offensive player who relied on jump shots, a trustworthy finisher in key moments.
With the addition of Caron Butler, who is becoming more and more proficient in scoring, the Wizards' backcourt has a lot of firepower.
The Warriors didn't dare to easily wrap up Arenas, who could pass to Butler and Jamison to finish the offense, but the one-on-one defense was inefficient.
On the other hand, the Wizards also have no way to take the Warriors.
In less than three minutes, Young's strong inside play caused another foul on Haywood, and the Wizards replaced the bench interior Michael Ruffin.
Michael Ruffin is a second-round pick in '99 and has strong rebounding ability, but his height is only 2.06 meters, which is not even as tall as Yang Di.
Yang Di scored more easily inside, scoring 13 points in a single quarter under the help of the bag.
The Warriors led the Wizards by three points at 35-32 in the first quarter.
Arenas also scored in double figures in the quarter, scoring 11 points, including six free throws, resulting in defensive fouls from Fayer, Fisher and others.
It's very lethal.
Arenas has played an average of about 42 minutes per game this season, and when the score is scorching, he will basically not choose to rest.
He rested for three minutes in the second quarter before resuming the game, and the Warriors replaced Byron Davis against him.
On the court, Monta Ellis was particularly excited.
He is about the same height as Arenas, and his playing style is somewhat similar, before he first entered the league, his template was Arenas, and this time he played against the Wizards, and sure enough, Arenas's pull-up jump shot was worth learning from.
Monta Ellis feels that the biggest difference between him and Arenas is that Arenas' mid-range jumper is more consistent than him, and he is more inclined to the layup.
During the match, Ellis and Arenas faced each other several times.
Arenas is well-balanced with his left and right hands, while Ellis now prefers to attack with his right hand, which makes it clear that Arenas is more difficult to defend.
Arenas made two layups as the Wizards put the lead in the lead.
More than six minutes later, Yang Di came on the court, grabbed the rebound in the front court and hit a basket to help the Warriors tie the score.
Before halftime, the Warriors and the Wizards were tied at 62, and Arenas scored eight points in the quarter, surpassing Youngdy's 18 points at halftime with 19 points at halftime.
"The nickname GLA sounds like a great general, and Arenas has made a name for himself since he left the Warriors." Yang Di feels that the NBA's scorers have exploded recently, as Kobe Bryant frantically cut super scores, and endless stars cut 40+ and 50+ scores.
"The key is that he also feels very good in this game, and if he doesn't do it well, he will have convulsions." Byron Davis joked.
……
The prophecy came true, and after the start of the third quarter, Arenas really felt even hotter.
He hit a layup and scored three points to score seven points in a row.
The Warriors called a timeout to contain Arenas' touch while setting up a wrap-and-wrap strategy during this period, using Byron Davis' speed and Danny Granger's height to set up obstacles.
Arenas split Caron Butler, who missed a three-pointer and failed to continue the offensive momentum.
At the same time, Yang Di crossed over and crossed over Heywood, who was defending him, and hit a layup with a low hand, although Heywood also has a height of 2.13 meters and extra-long arms, he couldn't stop Yang Di at all.
After being caught in the trap a few times and his teammates didn't shoot, the Warriors went even more unscrupulously to get the ball.
Arenas patiently did the conduction, and finally in the 7th minute, Butler made another three-point shot, this time hitting a shot, to extend the outside score for the Wizards.
"Strengthen the low-post offense, strengthen the offense and defense transition offense!"
Montgomery saw that this game couldn't suppress the Wizards' offense at all, so he simply let the Warriors attack with all their might, ready to fight hard with the Wizards.
The offensive rhythm of the two sides on the court accelerated in vain, and in the fast attack, Yang Di got a pass from his teammates and completed a mouth dunk, which was amazing.
At the end of the third quarter, the Wizards led the Warriors by three points, 96-93.
"I've never seen a game like this!" Cai Nan, a guest of the imperial court station who broadcast the game, said.
"In the previous NBA offense, there were high-scoring games, but it was definitely not like this and it was like running around the court like this, and it felt like the ball was passed through everyone's hands, and then it was handed to the person who was most sure, and the high shooting percentage ended the round, from start to finish."
"Arenas has scored 35 points, 16 points in a single quarter, and he's made a lot of free throws in this quarter, and the Warriors struggle against him defensively." Yu Jia said worriedly, clearly standing on the warrior's side.
"That's right, the top priority for the Warriors now is how to suppress Arenas' play, and how to ensure their offensive efficiency."
As soon as Cai Nan said this, Yu Jia immediately froze in place, he blinked his eyes and thought, isn't this Director Xu's words? Cai Nan also has a tendency to become an older generation of commentators!
Everyone knows that Cai Nan and Yang Di have a great relationship, Yu Jia thought about it, and then chatted with Cai Nan about Yang Di's past.
"When I was in Miami before, Yang Di was actually quite strong, but the team had Brian Grant as the interior line, and star players like Lamar Odom, so Yang Di's playing time was very limited, averaging less than 20 minutes per game."
"That's right, but that period was also the period when Yang Di grew the fastest, although we didn't pay much attention to him at that time, we all know that Miami has a rebounding superman."
"His rebounding ability is probably the strongest in the league right now, and he's going to be the rebounding champion again this year."
"The youngest rebounding king, the youngest Mr. 1,000 rebounds, the youngest Mr. 2,000 rebounds, if you stay healthy, your career is likely to be over 10,000 rebounds in less than 10 years."
"At the end of this season, Yang Di will have more than 3,000 career points and rebounds."
The two talked about Yang Di's data with great interest, mainly because Yang Di's data is too exciting, with an average of 25+14 per game, ranking first in front of many historical supergiants in the NBA.
But in this game, Yang Di didn't have many rebounds, and Foyer grabbed more rebounds than him.
Yang Di's score went all the way up, and he turned around and hit a board just after he came on the court in the fourth quarter, scoring his 31st personal point.
Arenas didn't rest, so he rested for two minutes in the third quarter, and then stayed on the court at the beginning of the quarter, taking advantage of Yang Di's absence to continuously cause the Warriors to foul, expanding the score advantage to 8 points, forcing Yang Di to play two minutes early.
Arenas scored 42, 45, 48 points......
He scored evenly in every quarter, and the Wizards led the Warriors in the final moments.
Yang Di felt that his scoring explosiveness was still not as good as Arenas, and finally helplessly watched the Wizards defeat his Warriors 128-120.
Ended a three-game winning streak.
