After a post-match examination, Margeti hit his left knee, which is not serious, and will miss three to four weeks. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The next day, the Wizards beat the Pistons.

The Pistons just closed a trade in exchange for Alvin Williams from the Jazz. Sloan often asked Alvin to play the No. 2 position, but the confrontation was too poor and his shooting was average. With the Pistons, Alving returned to his familiar point guard position.

Even so, the No. 1 position of the Piston is still ordinary, the interior attack power is also average, and the strength is inferior to Yang Rui's previous life. Because the No. 1 position is average, the Pistons do not have much future, and it is a success to pass the first round in the playoffs.

On the 28th, the Wizards beat the underdog Hawks at home.

There are another injury in the squad, with David Wesley expected to miss two to four weeks due to a hamstring strain in his left calf, after he fell on the floor while aggressively chasing Jason Terry.

All teams are afraid of injuries to their players, and that's something that can't be avoided entirely. Yang Rui was forced to adjust the lineup and put Matt Barnes, who had been sitting on the bench and being a sparring partner on the team, into the squad.

In January, the team was able to cut players with insecure contracts in the team, and Barnes has not had a chance to perform, suspecting that he will soon be cut, and unexpectedly sees the light of day.

Yang Rui is interested in Barnes's hard work on the defensive end, and he is not expected to do much on the offensive end.

For the sake of the team as a whole, Yang Rui deliberately talked to Barnes alone. "I have some expectations for your single defense, the ability to grab rebounds, the team doesn't need you to attack with the ball, usually work hard to practice fixed-point shooting, run faster under the fast attack, open the positional battle and wait for opportunities, you have to throw the ball in the vacant position, understand?"

"I'm going to do my best." Barnes assured loudly.

Barnes was in the 12-man squad, and Yang Rui put Hamilton back in the starting line-up, playing as a guest point guard, taking the ball through half court and then running aggressively for opportunities. His skills are very comprehensive, and the job is not difficult.

The reason for this arrangement was because the coaching staff felt that Alston was not suitable to partner with Jordan.

If Alston doesn't have the ball in his hands and can't play the trick with the ball, the role will drop a notch, and it would be a waste for him to watch Jordan play alone.

Tyrone Lue is also not suitable for starting, he is too short to prevent big men from cutting and pulling outside.

Against the Magic on the 30th, Yang Rui let Barnes come off the bench in the second quarter, replacing the original Margeti position to ensure a fast offensive tempo.

Magic coach Doc Doc

Yang Rui arranged a large belt and four small, Barnes returned to the defense quickly, and he could also save in the joint defense to interfere with the shot. The opponent forced a breakthrough, and one of the three Barnes, Wallace and Bell could quickly retreat to help Smalls trap the defender.

In this battle, the Magic bench was blocked by the Wizards.

In the second half, Jordan singled out Richard Jefferson with his experience to score back-to-back points, and role players also played, winning 105-92.

Jordan played 37 minutes, shooting 8-of-17 from the field and 5-of-5 from the free-throw line for a near-triple-double of 21 points, eight rebounds and nine assists.

The Wizards' top scorer was Hamilton, who didn't affect his running play at point guard, shooting 11-of-18, 2-of-4 from three-point range and 3-of-4 from the free-throw line. He had 27 points and five assists.

Stoudmayre played as well as ever, with four dunks and 20 points and seven rebounds.

On the 31st, the Wizards returned to their home court to play the Spurs again.

In the first quarter, Duncan was extremely brave, sending the Wizards to shoot all 6 of 6, 2 of 2 free throws, and cut 14 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, leading the team to a 35-24 lead.

In the second quarter, Yang Rui changed his style of play, sent the twin towers of Boozer and Stoudamire, attacked the basket, abused the Spurs' interior line, and quickly recovered the score.

The Spurs are not strong on the bench this year, and the center usually sends 40-year-old veteran Kevin Willis or 37-year-old veteran Danny Ferry, both of whom can't jump and have a poor confrontation.

Especially Ferry, looking at his Mediterranean hairstyle, you can know that his body is already empty, unlike Ginobili who was touched bald by Duncan, Ferry as a veteran, Duncan did not dare to touch him.

SHORT POWER FORWARD MALIK ROSE IS 201CM TALL AND WEIGHS 113 KILOGRAMS, AND HIS OFFENSE IS MAINLY BASED ON STRONG ATTACKS UNDER THE BASKET, AND HE CAN'T SQUEEZE THROUGH THE EQUALLY STRONG BOOZER OR WALLACE.

Bell also pestered veteran Spurs quarterback Steve Smith.

Due to the absence of Tony Parker, Tinsley's jump shot was poor, backup point guard Kerr could only shoot at fixed points, and the Spurs couldn't catch the weakness of Boozer and Xiaos's poor defense. With one less man, this Spurs would be completely different.

Ginobili has just joined the NBA, has not yet adapted to the rhythm of the game, almost does not get a chance to play, he is currently very thin, poor to match, relatively easy to deal with.

In the second half, Popovich sent a small lineup to increase breakthroughs and counterattacks, and Yang Rui immediately called a timeout to adjust the substitution. The Wizards' small-ball tactics are more thorough, with Boozer at center and Marshall, Barnes, Bale, and Tyrone Lue on the periphery.

He didn't let Wallace play because Barnes worked three-pointers, occasionally scored from the bottom corner, and he was more deceptive and could get opponents to attack him.

Sure enough, the Spurs players attacked Barnes, and as a result, Barnes singled out veteran Russell, causing all three of his shots to miss the basket.

The Spurs mainly rely on the twin towers of stars Duncan and Robinson, the score rises alternately, the Wizards' two newcomers have excellent interior offense, and the defensive end is to be taught to be a man.

Yang Rui asked Xiao Si to calm down and replaced Highwood to defend Duncan. Hywood has not played, but he has a lot of energy, relying on his body to keep Duncan out of the box and interfere with his turnaround jumper.

On the offensive end, Heywood was not without effect, Yang Rui arranged a side cover tactic, and Heywood cut and rushed to grab the rebound after covering. David Robinson, who is nearing the age of 38, is about to retire and is not physically fit, and Popovich controls his playing time for 26 minutes. When he got off the court, Duncan struggled to control the rebounds himself.

Haywood has poor offensive skills and has always been blue-collar, but he also has specialties, he is very strong, he is not slow to move, and he is very good at rebounding in the front court.

Last season, Haywood played 20.4 minutes and averaged 5.1 points and 5.2 rebounds per game, including 2.3 rebounds in the frontcourt.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Peak Haywood played in 49 games for the Wizards in the 2009-2010 season, scoring 9.8 points and 10.3 rebounds in 32.9 minutes, including 4.1 frontcourt rebounds. He was very efficient in rebounding in the frontcourt and aggressive defensively, so he signed a long-term contract with a high salary.

Haywood grabbed three frontcourt rebounds in the quarter, scored two points on the second offense, passed the ball out, and assisted Marshall to shoot a three-pointer to make a difference.

In the final quarter, Duncan, who had only rested for six minutes in the first half, was tired, the offensive threat dropped, and Stoudmayre came out to play against him again, which was not so difficult. Boozer also got the chance to play, playing with Alston on the pick-and-roll, and the street ball king attracting defensive passes or holding the ball to Robinson, all of which have an advantage.

Robinson's defensive guard is no longer good and he will definitely retire at the end of the season. He was the league's fastest interior player, but after a serious injury, all he had to remember was his memory.

In the last 1:08, Alston broke through the ball, and Stoudamire cut the ball to face Duncan's strong shot, and scored on a close-range throw, giving the Wizards a 101-100 lead.

Popovich asked for a timeout.
