Chapter 22 Wizards
~

Washington Wizards, this team has performed quite well in recent years.They are strong and strong, with double guns John Wall and Bradley Beal on the outside, Paul Pierce, the famous singles king of the league, Brazil anti-cancer fighter Nene Hilario, and Polish hammer Marcin Gortat , and the bench lineup is not weak.

Last season, the Wizards entered the playoffs with the fifth place in the East. They eliminated the Bulls 4:1 in the first round, but were defeated by the Pacers 4:2 in the second round, stopping in the Eastern Conference semifinals.Even so, the Wizards are still a strong team in the Eastern Conference, while the Bucks were last in the Eastern Conference last season, with a record of 15 wins and 67 losses in the league.

It was originally a game that didn't have much to watch, but it became a little unpredictable because of the Bucks' brilliant performance before.Especially Fang Xiaotian, the rookie insider of the Bucks, shocked everyone with a record of 6 points, 16 rebounds, 10 blocks and 3 assists in the first game of the new season. However, his inside dominance in the second game surprised everyone. Eye-opening: 13 points, 21 rebounds, 9 blocks and 5 assists. This statistic simply blinded many people's titanium alloy dog ​​eyes. No one can believe that this is the level shown by a second-round pick.

However, the facts are like this. With Fang Xiaotian as the inside gate, the Bucks easily won both games, which is quite different from their last season in the Eastern Conference.

During the warm-up, Fang Xiaotian took a careful look at the head star Wall on the opposite side.He knows that his biggest opponent today may be Wall, because that guy basically has no mid-range shots, and most of the time he goes to the basket to score.Thinking of the legendary Wall's speed, Fang Xiaotian's scalp tingled immediately - the 10-meter speed of 03 seconds, and thinking about his own time of 14 seconds, Fang Xiaotian lamented.

Moreover, Wall is not only fast in [-] meters, but the first step is also at the top of the league. If he really rushed to the basket and caused damage, Fang Xiaotian might not be able to react at all, and he would have already succeeded. The most important thing is that he might be fouled.

Fang Xiaotian values ​​​​others, and others also value him.Don't say that Fang Xiaotian is just a rookie who has just entered the league. In the NBA, as long as you show abilities that exceed others' expectations, you will be valued. After all, no one is a fool for so many years!Find out the strength of your opponent and win on the court is the most important thing.

Fang Xiaotian didn't start the game, he sat on the bench quietly observing the strength of the Wizards.

Pierce, the master of backcourt double guns, Hilario, the one-egg fighter, and Gortat, the Polish hammer, each have unique means and have already made their own reputation in the league.Compared with them, the Bucks will be too weak.To Fang Xiaotian's surprise, within 3 minutes of the game, the Wizards hit a 15:4 attack wave, forcing Kidd to stop the game.

Just now Wall played two quick shots in a row, scoring 2+1 one after another, beating the previously aggressive Bucks out of breath.

It was the first time that Fang Xiaotian was arranged to play so quickly. Originally, Kidd really didn't want to arrange this way, because it would put too much pressure on Fang Xiaotian. He still hoped that Fang Xiaotian would grow up step by step, and finally become the last barrier for his subordinates.

But time waits for no one!Pachulia did nothing inside, and the team's power forward Larry Sanders did not show his due value. The 4-year $4400 million contract could not be seen at all in just 3 minutes.

Of the 15 points scored by the Wizards, 10 points were contributed by Gortat and Hilario on the inside, of which Gortat scored 6 points and Hilario scored 4 points. Come!
When Pachulia was replaced, his face was very ugly, because it was not his business alone at all, didn't Sanders also guard against it?Other players are also playing a mess, why just replace yourself?He glanced at the head coach Kidd, and seeing Kidd's calm face, he cursed secretly: Too much bullying!

There is no barrier on the inside, and being broken through is like entering a no-man's land. Every player in the Bucks is responsible.But if you want Fang Xiaotian to play, you have to replace the center. If Kidd does not replace him, who will he replace?
Fang Xiaotian felt that this game was not very good, because judging from the tasks given by the core, the wizards are indeed difficult to deal with!
Simple task: get 10 rebounds

Normal level task: Help the team win the game

Difficult task: get a triple-double
Hell-level mission: Zero seals for the Wizards inside, so that they can no longer score
The difficulty of the tasks released by the core is not 01:30, let alone the difficult tasks and above, Fang Xiaotian dare not think about it.Let's just talk about ordinary tasks!Helping the team win, it doesn't seem like he needs to put in too much effort, it can be achieved with a bit of luck, but in fact it does!
Just after 3 minutes, the point difference between the two teams was pulled to more than double digits. The Wizards' fast break can send the basketball into the basket in a few seconds, but the Bucks have nothing to do.If Fang Xiaotian does not solve the scoring problem, no matter how strong his defensive ability is, it will not work. However, he is only amazing in jumping, and he is far from a true defensive master. He has not even touched the position. to its essence.

The applause from the Capital One arena was thunderous, but it was not given to Fang Xiaotian who had just played, but to the home players who had performed wonderfully before. The Wizards started the Five Tigers.

Fang Xiaotian took over the ordinary-level characters. For him, the simple-level tasks are too monotonous, and the difficult-level and above tasks are currently difficult, or impossible to complete. Only ordinary-level tasks are most suitable for him.Moreover, the general direction of the ordinary-level tasks is consistent with the long-term goal, which is to win, win, and win again. He also wants to see what the lucky roulette can spin!

The Bucks had the ball, Fang Xiaotian passed the ball to Knight from the baseline, and then ran towards the frontcourt alone.After all, basketball is a team game, and he needs to blend in and play his role.

Waiting for Fang Xiaotian to settle down, Knight slowly attacked with the ball.For some reason, when he saw Fang Xiaotian standing near the penalty area, his restless heart calmed down. Maybe Fang Xiaotian's sky-defying rebounds made him feel at ease, or maybe he himself calmed down, who knows!
Knight is 22 years old this year and has been honing in the league for several years, so he is considered a veteran.Using Mayo's screen, he broke through Wall's defense, then made a pull-up jumper, and shot the ball out of his hand before the Wizards came over to interfere.

Swish!
The basketball passed through the net like a spectrum, bringing out bursts of net flowers.Knight, who made 3 of 0 shots before, finally opened the scoring and successfully narrowed the difference between the two teams to single digits.

"Good job, Brandon!" Fang Xiaotian ran over and clapped Knight's hands in celebration.He only wants the team to win now, and Knight's mid-range shot naturally makes him very happy. After all, he no longer has to struggle for rebounds, especially when he is surrounded by the Wizards inside.

Knight smiled and said nothing, and quickly went back to defend. As far as he is concerned, Fang Xiaotian can shoot with peace of mind in the interior.With a good mentality, the shooting percentage will naturally increase.

This is the fact that having a strong rebounder in the team can often solve the worries of shooting players.
