Chapter 543

"Finally not going in, these two guys were really scary just now!" Finally, in the ultra-long-range three-pointer that was farther than the previous time, when Meng Xu and Arenas both extended their shot distance to the distance After there were only about three meters left in the circle, both of them finally hit the shots.Seeing this scene, Michaels on the commentary bench finally breathed a sigh of relief. This is the first time in Michaels' commentary career that he was happy that a player on the field missed a shot, because Michaels knew that if the two If the guy keeps throwing it like this, his heart will definitely not be able to stand it.

"This distance is indeed too difficult. The position where they shot just now is already 10 meters away from the basket." Seeing that Meng Xu and Arenas missed shots at that position just now, Magic Johnson also felt somewhat It's a pity, although this kind of shooting is scary, every shot is a classic. Naturally, classic goals are never to be tired of, the more the better.

Although he couldn't continue to compete with Meng Xu, Arenas didn't feel any frustration. Instead, he looked relaxed. When he looked at Meng Xu in front of him, Arenas also smiled at Meng Xu rarely. laugh.

suddenly see the light!This is the true portrayal of Arenas at the moment.Unruly, never giving up, is engraved in Arenas' bones. Arenas' basketball career is a career of constant counterattacks. He has been exposed to basketball, high school, college, and NBA. Every time Arenas is watched by others However, Arenas will slap them in the face every time, and this "special" career has also allowed Arenas to develop a character that likes challenges.When he was in the Warriors, after constantly hearing the stories of Meng Xu and Duncan from the head coach Mike Budenholzer, Arenas swore in his heart that one day he would become a player like Duncan and Meng Xu, and also To challenge them and defeat them is not only for my basketball dream, but also for Mike Budenholzer's expectations of himself. Although for some special reasons, Arenas left the Warriors and Mike - Budenholzer, but Arenas will never forget his commitment to Mike Budenholzer.

Therefore, before today's game, Arenas was full of confidence to fight Meng Xu, and his outstanding performance in the first quarter also made Arenas' confidence unprecedentedly high, but at the beginning of the second quarter, he had a direct fight with Meng Xu. The few minutes of the matchup gave Arenas another sense of frustration, the feeling of being stuck in a quagmire and unable to extricate himself, which even made Arenas a little decadent.And with the three-pointers in the round just now, Arenas not only found a way to deal with Meng Xu, but also found his own basketball path.

When Arenas was in the Warriors, since he was initially playing as the sixth man, the head coach didn't have too many demands on him, scoring, scoring, or scoring. This is Arenas' only task.However, as Arenas' strength continues to rise, after being promoted to the starting lineup by Mike Budenholzer, Mike Budenholzer wants to make Arenas a combo guard who can organize and score. , but the good times didn't last long. After only one season, Arenas came to the Wizards. Because the Wizards had Marbury, Arenas changed to play shooting guard. After losing the ball and the familiar system, Ali Nas could no longer find the feeling he felt in the Warriors. For a whole season, although Arenas did not slack in the slightest on the training ground, Arenas found that he had not improved at all throughout the season. He has gradually lost his rhythm of the game, and now, Arenas has found his own path, which is to score, keep scoring, kill, and keep killing.

After several consecutive ultra-long-range three-pointers, Arenas completely let go of the burden in his heart. Although Meng Xu's defensive intensity became stronger and stronger, Arenas did not hesitate or back down, and was still very decisive. , as long as there is an opportunity, no matter where he is, even if it is two meters or even three meters away from the three-point line, Arenas will make a decisive shot, and Arenas's shot that seems to be a X** shot, However, he can still maintain a good shooting rate. Arenas made 9 three-pointers in the second quarter and hit 5 of them.

The three-point shooting rate of 9 of 5 shots is already very good, but for the Wizards who want to chase points, this shooting rate seems a bit insufficient, especially apart from Arenas and Meng Xu. After three three-pointers, Arenas made 6 of 2 three-pointers behind him. Therefore, although Arenas scored 15 points in the first quarter and scored 17 points in the second quarter, but in the middle At the end of the game, the Wizards trailed the Pacers by 48 points 61 to 13.

Although the point difference between the two sides seems to be getting bigger and bigger, after getting the technical statistics of the first half, even Magic Johnson was very surprised by Arenas' performance throughout the first half. Even for Kobe, who averaged 32 points per game this season, it is not so easy to score 34 points in half a game in the face of Meng Xu and the Pacers.

"What a pity." Although he appreciated Arenas' performance in this game, Magic Johnson was not optimistic about the prospects of the Wizards in this game, or even the entire series, because he already knew I saw Marbury's expression when he was off the court. Although Marbury didn't have an attack on the court, for Arenas' behavior on the court, not to mention Marbury, even Magic Johnson couldn't bear it. I can give it, but you can't take it!Marbury can bear this tone, which shows that Marbury is still more considerate of the overall situation, but if you want Marbury to do something in this game, you must not think about it. The performance is against the sky, it is impossible for the Wizards to beat the Pacers.

"That's true. After the start of the second half, the Pacers will definitely exert their strength. With the current state of the Wizards, it is too difficult..."

After a short break, the second half of the game began, but unexpectedly, as the boss of the Wizards, Marbury did not play, but sat on the bench.

Although already leading the Wizards by 13 points, after the start of the second half, the Pacers resorted to full-court pressing tactics. Under the suffocating high-intensity defense, the Wizards obviously could not adapt to the rhythm of the field. A mistake, Eddie Jordan called three timeouts in a row, but the situation on the field became worse and worse. Less than half of the third quarter was played, and the difference between the two sides reached 22 points. For the Pacers and Wizards , the first game of this round of the series is basically over.

In the end, when the game ended, the Pacers beat the Wizards at home 82 to 103 and made a good start to the playoffs. The most outstanding performance in this game was the Wizards Arenas, although The Wizards eventually lost the game, but Arenas made 34 of 17 shots in this game, including 15 of 7 three-pointers and 9 of 7 free throws. He scored a career-high 48 points in the playoffs.
