Chapter 22 Substitute Power
At this time, Arenas was really annoyed, not because Huang Jun just hit his two plus one ball, but because his teammate Brachi dodged first, allowing James to easily complete a slam dunk, and then missed the shot and made the opponent successfully hit a fast attack counterattack, and also It's a two-plus-one fast attack opportunity. How can we not annoy Arenas?
The leading advantage was submerged in an instant. At this time, he was already lagging behind. Arenas looked at Braci with no expression on his face. If he hadn't been able to beat him and the place he was now was on the playing field, otherwise he might really come forward and beat him up.
Huang Jun, standing on the free throw line, raised his hand and shot. Naturally, brushing, hit, Huang Jun's free throw is the most reassuring, because as long as it is a free throw this season, then Huang Jun will definitely score. So far, he has not been unable to score. He is the only one of all the players in the league to maintain 100% free throw life. Medium-rate players.
The Cavaliers overtook the score, 9 to 6.
Next, except for Arenas' goal, the Wizards didn't feel it at all. Both Butler and Jamison had no feeling at all. When the game lasted five minutes in the first quarter, the Wizards' head coach really couldn't stand the players' performance on the field and called a timeout.
In five minutes, the Wizards got 11 points, and these 11 points were taken by Arenas himself, while the Cavaliers got 19 points, and these 19 points were almost all taken after the organization. Unlike the Wizards' personal basketball, the Cavaliers played team basketball, no matter who was on the court. Get the score.
The head coach of the Wizards is Eddie Jordan. He has coached the Wizards for five seasons, four of which led the Wizards to the playoffs. After the start of this season, he was almost fired by the team, but in the end, he was not fired. According to the historical trajectory, Eddie Jordan should It should have been fired after that.
Is this because of the arrival of Huang Jun Zengqi and others, the butterfly effect that has disrupted the trajectory of history? Up to now this season, there are many butterfly effects brought by Huang Jun and others.
"What kind of basketball are you playing? What kind of basketball are you playing except Arenas? After watching the players on the court come down, Eddie Jordan said with great dissatisfaction.
Although Eddie Jordan is not a famous coach, he still has a little prestige. The players still respect him, especially Arenas. Because Eddie Jordan gives him enough status and unlimited right to fire, he still respects Eddie Jordan very much.
Then Eddie Jordan scolded the players and arranged his tactics well. He hoped that the next game could enter the normal track of the Wizards. Eddie Jordan's pressure this season is also very great, and he may be fired by the team at any time, so he hopes that his players will be good in every next game. Strive to improve the team's record.
After the suspension, the Wizards replaced Nick Young with Javier McKee, the 18th pick in the first round of this year. This season, these two people are the team's surprises.
When Arenas and Heywood were injured, Nick Young and McGee's performance was very eye-catching. Now many people know that McGee is a carved jade, but McGee is too rough, but his rebounding ability and blocking ability are excellent. He has proved himself.
Arenas controlled the ball and used McGee's block to break through the inside line, and then unexpectedly he chose to pass the ball to Nick Young on the outside line.
Nick Young faced Battier's defense, continuously changed direction, and then ended the attack with a sudden stop jumper.
Nick Yang and Arenas' style are very similar. Both of them are the kind of people who like singles. The former is called the king of singles. The ability of singles can be imagined, while Arenas is the kind of crazy player. Once he goes crazy, few people will defend his offensive ability.
Next, on the knight's side, Huang Jun took advantage of his own speed, and the continuous change of direction finally passed the defender, then killed under the basket, and ended the Cavaliers' attack with a simple layup again.
When the Wizards came back to attack, Arenas on the Wizards chose singles again and changed direction continuously. Finally, he directly shot three points in front of Huang Jun. Maybe the ball was thrown too quickly, or the character was used up. This three-pointer was not hit, but the offensive rebound was grabbed by the bouncing ability of McGee. , and completed an air deduction.
McGee's jumping ability is excellent, and his athletic ability and explosive ability are very good. He often grabs the offensive rebound to complete the make-up dunk, or completes the second attack. There is also explosive power that makes him sometimes send out that kind of uncommon block.
Next, the Wizards caught up with the score little by little with the excellent performance of McGee, Arenas and Nick Young. At the end of the first quarter, the Wizards were five points behind the Cavaliers by 25 to 30.
Such a score difference is acceptable to the Wizards. You know, at the end of the first five minutes of the first quarter, the Wizards were eight points behind the Cavaliers, and after replacing McGee and Nick Young, the Wizards not only successfully bit the score difference, but also further narrowed the score difference, which has indeed reached the Wizards. They asked for it.
The second quarter of the game will begin soon, and the Cavaliers will also replace Huang Jun James and others for a while. How will the Cavaliers' substitute lineup perform during this period? Will the score be caught up and overtaken, or will the gap be further widened?
Three minutes after the start of the second quarter, the Cavaliers' second set of lineup played very well. In just three minutes, the score difference was pulled from five points to ten points, and the momentum was still continuing. During this period, the Wizards did not rely on Nick Young and others, and they could not resist it at all. The knight's attack made them speechless.
The Cavaliers are really in good condition, and naturally they feel very good. West, Gibson and Szebiak are in very good condition, and the insider Asik's performance in defense and rebounding is also very good.
In the next few minutes, the Cavaliers' substitutes were completely crazy. They hit three points in a row, and the rebounds in the front court and blocked the inside line. They completely beat the Wizards without any temper. But when there were still six minutes left in the second quarter, the Wizards had to call a timeout, because the difference came. Fifteen points, ten points were won by the knight's substitute lineup in just six minutes.
The best performance of the defense during this period is undoubtedly the inside Asik, and in terms of attack, it is the three players just mentioned, Szebiak, West and Gibson. The three players' three points and breakthroughs completely beat the Wizards' attack. With a little temper, he completely fell into passivity, like a prelude to a massacre.
Because the Cavaliers played very well in the substitute, they did not replace the main player after the suspension, but continued to use this lineup, while the Wizards changed to all the main lineup. He did not dare to continue the substitute lineup, otherwise there might be no suspense in the first half of the game.
The strength of the Wizards is really much different from that of the knights, and there is no comparison at all. The reason why the Wizards can withstand the attack of the Knights in the first quarter is entirely because of the excellent performance of the Wizards' Arenas and Nick Young. However, after the second quarter, the Wizards replaced Arenas and left a Ni. Ke Yang.
After the beginning of the second quarter, Nick Yang didn't find his own offensive feeling, so the Wizards fell into the passive. The score was pulled away by the knights little by little, and they spent time in the iron again and again. They couldn't find any offensive feeling at all, as if the lineup on the court was high all of a sudden. Like the middle school's lineup, it's not a level of competition at all.
So this is also one of the major reasons why the Wizards were suddenly pulled away. Of course, the most important reason is that the Cavaliers' lineup is very good. Whether it is defensive or offensive, the opponent can't find their own rhythm.
After the second quarter, the score was 29 to 44.
When the game came back, the Wizards' starting lineup against the Cavaliers' substitute lineup made the fans at the scene very worried, but the result of the game made many people almost drop their eyes.
I saw that the Cavaliers' lineup was not to keep the current score difference on the field, but to further widen the score difference. When the game restarted for a minute, the Wizards's Arenas missed consecutive shots, while the Cavaliers hit continuously, and the score was suddenly pulled away by the Cavaliers to 20 points, a full 20 points.
The fans at the scene thought that the current lineup on the court could withstand the opponent's defense, but they didn't expect that the Wizards could not withstand the Cavaliers' attack, which completely made many people break their glasses.
Mike Brown, the head coach of the Cavaliers sitting on the court, looked at all this and turned his head to James and Huang Jun, who were sitting next to him and said, "It seems that you don't have a chance to play for the rest of the first half. I don't know if Eddie Jordan, the head coach of the Wizards, can keep his current position after this game."
"I think it's very difficult. After all, the Wizards have given him enough time. He almost lost his coach's seal in one win and ten losses at the beginning of the new season. This game can't even beat our second lineup. Sooner or later, it will be over." James replied at this time.
Huang Jun looked at the game on the court. He didn't plan to reply to the coach's words, because the head coach of the other party had nothing to do with him. He hoped that he could play in the game and find the state of the game. After all, he had been injured for so long, and it still had some impact on his state.
