Chapter 149 Battle against Arenas!

"Brother, I will definitely find a way to defeat you next time we fight!"

Although Wade was unwilling to lose, he still exchanged jerseys with Duan and hugged before leaving.

"Okay, I'll wait for you. But before that, you need to go to the west and prove your strength! By the way, take good care of your body and don't get injured."

Du En knew that Wade would go to the Western Conference for a series of away games. As a good brother, he was naturally concerned.

"Same to you, take care, see you next time in Miami!"

"See you in Miami!"

After seeing off Wade and O'Neal, Dunn did not stay idle at home. Instead, he followed the Bulls and others and immediately got on the plane to Washington.

Next up is a back-to-back schedule. Tomorrow night the Bulls will face the Washington Wizards, who are currently 9-5 and fourth in the Eastern Conference.

The Wizards are one of the winners of the off-season. Since the trade for Antawn Jamison, the Wizards have built super firepower on the outside.

This season, Arenas, Larry Hughes, and Antawn Jamison are all scorers averaging 20+ per game.

However, the Wizards all use outside tactics, and the status of inside players is not that high accordingly.

And because Kwame Brown can't hold up the wall, the Wizards' inside strength is relatively weak.

Therefore, he belongs to the jump shooting team in terms of style.

The jump shooting team is still very easy to use in the regular season. As long as two of the three guns are opened, it is easier to win.

When Arenas, the boss of the Wizards, goes crazy, even Kobe can't hold it back. This is the main reason why the Wizards are currently ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference.

On the afternoon of December 12, in order to cope with the big battle in the evening, Du En had to reward his teammates and treat them to a big meal.

“Boss, we’re tired of seafood, take us to eat fried chicken and burgers!”

"I heard the hot dogs here are also famous!"

"How about roasted suckling pig? Who has eaten it before? Would you like to try it?"

Originally, Duan prepared a seafood feast for his teammates, but seafood such as oysters and geoducks can be found everywhere in Chicago, so it is not necessary to come to Washington to eat.

The more famous delicacies in Washington are hamburgers and hot dogs, and these are the foods that black players have eaten since childhood.

Especially for NBA players, daily consumption is high, and hamburgers, hot dogs, and fried chicken are easier to replenish their physical strength.

On the contrary, beef, chicken breast, and fish are all tasteless and meaningless to them.

"Order what you want to eat and don't waste it."

Duan did not force his teammates to eat seafood with him.

But since you’ve already ordered it, you can’t waste it.

Especially in the previous week, after Du En returned to Chicago to play, a large number of models, singers, and actors said they were fans of Du En and came to visit, causing Du En a lot of trouble.

After tonight's game against the Wizards, Duane will actually return to Chicago with the team for five consecutive home games in the next week and a half.

It is foreseeable that Du En's physical exertion will be relatively large.

Fortunately, Duan has already obtained the Pippen template and is still very energetic.

"Brothers, play hard and I will try to win you the Player of the Week!"

The last three games have been tough battles. Although he lost against the Lakers, Duan's personal data is very good whether it is against the Lakers or the Heat.

If he beats the Wizards again tonight, Durn will be guaranteed 30+7+7, and he is very qualified to compete for the Eastern Conference Player of the Week.

Whether it is Player of the Week or Player of the Month, it is an indispensable honorary basis for the regular season MVP and the regular season best team.

Time soon came to night. It is worth mentioning that when Du En came on the stage, there were actually many fans cheering for Du En.

Looking around, I found that they were all Chinese or Asian fans wearing his jersey.

What makes Duen laugh and cry is that there are many fans wearing Duen's Lakers jersey No. 31.

"Little blackie, right?"

It can only be said that this situation will inevitably occur when changing teams.

In the future, it might be more interesting if there are little black guys who specially wear spliced ​​jerseys to watch Du En play.

"Ben, your task will be heavier tonight. I need you to continue to pester Gilbert Arenas so that he cannot easily score on you. Can you do it?"

With the support of fans in the away game, Doon is even more eager to win.

The key to defeating a jump shooting team like the Wizards is to silence the Wizards' three guns.

Antawn Jamison has Luol Deng on his side, and Duane personally takes over Larry Hughes, so the only one who needs attention is Arenas.

Dunn knew that Ben Gordon couldn't guard Arenas, but in the first half, Ben Gordon was able to defend Arenas desperately, which could still be a little restrictive.

In the second half, Duan was free to deal with Arenas. Maybe it won't be difficult to win tonight.

However, doing so will undoubtedly require Ben Gordon to make a considerable sacrifice.

"Boss, don't worry. I'm always improving my defense. I won't be a drag."

Ben Gordon answered seriously.

Du En also affirmed: "Very good, very energetic."

The game started quickly, and Tyson Chandler beat Brandon Haywood to help the Bulls get the ball.

As soon as Duan got the ball in the frontcourt and called a pick-and-roll, Larry Hughes was already entangled.Sensing the small movement of Larry Hughes on his waist, Duan also understood that Larry Hughes' defense did have two brushes.

Although Larry Hughes is not an All-Star player, he has played All-Star level data in several seasons.

常规赛22+5+5+2，季后赛20+7+4+2，即便是在数据膨胀的小球时代，拉里·休斯都能算得上是巨头。

And I have a good defense. Although I like gambling steals and collecting steal statistics, as long as I am healthy, my defensive level is still good.

It can only be said that the properties of glass affect his possibility of becoming an All-Star.

Now, Du En also directly used his body to crush Larry Hughes.

Larry Hughes was hit by an elbow from Duen and staggered. Duen squeezed forward and used half of Larry Hughes's body to rush to the basket.

Because Larry Hughes "chased" Duan, it was not easy for the rest of the Wizards to help defend.

Brandon Haywood can only limit Duane's breakthrough path under the basket and create an opportunity for Larry Hughes to block Duane from behind for a layup.

However, Duan did not rush for a layup. He just attracted the defense under the basket and passed the ball through the ground to help the Bulls get the first 2 points by feeding Tyson Chandler.

"Dune, Dawn, Dawn!"

The cheers for Duen could be heard clearly.

However, Duan had no time to stand on the sidelines and put his hands to his ears as if listening, because the Wizards immediately served from the baseline and prepared for a transition attack.

The Bulls quickly returned to defense, and Ben Gordon stepped forward early to harass Arenas.

Arenas first called a pick-and-roll, preparing to rush to the basket. Duen stepped forward in time to help delay Arenas' breakthrough.

After seeing Du En, Arenas smiled evilly and immediately stopped for a jump shot.

"Hi Duane, I'm Gilbert Arenas, welcome to my turf!"

Arenas is extremely competitive, and the more powerful the opponent he encounters, the more he likes to fire without limit.

Du En was well prepared for this and immediately pounced forward. However, Arenas shot quickly and Du En's defense was still a beat slower.

When Du En turned to look at the basket, he found that the basketball had entered the net hollowly.

The only good thing is that it was a long two-pointer, not a three-pointer.

"I know you, Agent Zero! Since you have welcomed me in your own way, then I should also respect you in my own way!"

In just one round, Du En felt that Arenas wanted to challenge him one-on-one and decide the outcome of the game like a star.

In this regard, Du En couldn't help but want to laugh: "Kobe, who is integrated in offense and defense, can't defeat me with his personal strength. You, Arenas, who relies on touch to make a living, also want to defeat me in this way?"

In this case, Duen might as well change his initial strategy and choose to accept Arenas' challenge and use offense to consume Arenas.

However, Arenas is more of a thief.

Duan moved in front of Arenas in a pick-and-roll, but Arenas took the initiative to take a step toward the basket and exchange defensive positions with Jared Jeffries.

Seeing that Jared Jeffries hadn't made the save yet, Duan shot a three-pointer directly to try his hand.

It's okay, the back-to-back schedule won't have much impact on Duan.

The basketball went hollow into the net, and Duan once again helped the Bulls take the lead.

Not long after, the Wizards launched another fast break, but this time Duan intercepted Arenas directly in the frontcourt.

Arenas was also surprised when he saw Du En, who could completely envelope him but was no slower than him.

"What's going on with this guy? Why do I feel like I met Kobe?"

In order to get past Duen, Arenas had to take the initiative to open up a little and continuously look for opportunities to break through and accelerate.

But Duan started to restrict Arenas from dribbling. At this time, Arenas was still in the backcourt and would violate the dribbling rule in eight seconds.

For this reason, Larry Hughes immediately stepped forward to respond, and Arenas passed the ball through the half court.

"I thought you were going to challenge me! I was overthinking it!"

When Du En saw this, he immediately started talking trash and mocking Arenas.

Arenas was not fooled, but said indifferently: "Passing is also part of the game, and you are much taller than me. It is impossible for me to take the initiative to defend you."

Arenas' defense is not bad among point guards, but against a striker like Duen, and a heavy striker, it is really a disadvantage.

The Wizards built a team around Arenas to hit the playoffs and the championship. Naturally, they used the team's lineup and tactics to hide Arenas on the defensive end.

Duen naturally knew what was going on, but it was a pity that Arenas was not fooled.

By the way, after Larry Hughes got the ball, he ignored Ari Nurse and directly broke through Ben Gordon.

Ben Gordon's defense is inherently weak. Even with his defensive attitude, he still failed to stop Larry Hughes.

However, Tyson Chandler under the basket could easily let go of Brandon Haywood. Larry Hughes tried to fight and layup, but failed to score.

As Josh Smith grabbed the defensive rebound, he immediately passed a long pass to Duen who turned around for a fast break. Duen deliberately slowed down and waited for Arenas to catch up.

However, Arenas slowed down as he reached the three-point line.

For this reason, Du En had no choice but to rush to the basket and simply choose a layup.

"Fuck...ah, aren't you deducting this? What is Du En doing? Why don't you just take care of your health?"

The Chinese fans who came to watch the game saw Du En jumping from the free throw line and thought Du En was going to dunk!

Who knew, it was actually a layup!
