Chapter 70: Preseason

Recently, the Wizards’ fans are very depressed.
The team was controlled by a Chinese who didn't understand anything. Not only did they send away the team's star Arenas, they also chose a group of inexplicable guys.
I was looking forward to waiting for Arenas to recover from injury and lead the Wizards back to the playoffs. Now that is all right, Arenas' injury is good, but people have already gone to the Timberwolves!
Now that the regular season is about to start, the Wizards have no news of any trade. Is that crazy man ready to play with the current team lineup?
Although the vast majority of "fans" are not professional basketball commentators, they can also realize that the Wizards now do not even have a superstar.
Although Jamison and Butler are all All-Star players, they are also called the Wizards Big Three with Arenas, but these two are obviously not stars, just look at the last season without the belt of Arenas. The team record can tell everything!
Which nba strong team does not have a star as a support?
Even the Pistons, known as the civilian team, have Billups and Ben Wallace!
"Hey, are you going to watch tomorrow's preseason?"
"Don't go, what to see? What can the Wizards look forward to? Isn't it to see the team's fiasco?"
"Then I won't go anymore, Shit Wizards, die!"
...
On October 6, the preseason officially kicked off, and the Wizards sat against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
In this game, the Wizards' home stadium, the mci center stadium, has a low attendance rate, and there are a lot of vacancies.
Obviously this summer, the Wizards' series of "fucks" made many Wizards' "fans" angry, and he did not hesitate to use this method to protest revenge.
But in this game, the Wizards won.
The reason why the Wizards can win has nothing to do with itself, mainly because the Cavaliers star LeBron James only played 19 minutes. Most of the other time, the Cavaliers are in a large-scale rotation.
In fact, the Wizards are also the same. Jamison and Butler's playing time is only in the early 20 minutes. Beverly, Green, and Joe Danekey have a lot of playing time and play well.
Both teams played tepidly throughout the game, and there was no particularly fierce confrontation, so it did not attract people's attention.
The big news of the day came from the Los Angeles Clippers.
On the day before the start of the preseason, the champion No. 1 Griffin suddenly felt discomfort in his left leg. After examination, he found that the knee had a stress fracture of the knee bone. The Clippers officially announced that Griffin will postpone The date of the NBA premiere was postponed, and there is a high probability that "sex" will not be available for the entire season.
As soon as the news came out, everyone's heart snapped, and a person's name appeared involuntarily in his mind.
Oden!
The reimbursement of the season has not yet made its debut in NBA, which is almost exactly the same as the original Oden!
Does it mean Griffin will be the second Oden?
At the same time, someone remembered Wang Xiao's name.
During the pre-draft training, Wang Xiao praised Griffin as if he liked it.
However, at the draft conference, Wang Xiao directly replaced the No. 1 pick of the Clippers with the No. 1 pick, and gave Griffin his hand to the Clippers.
At that time, many people were very strange, don't you think Griffin is very powerful? How can I give it to someone else when I change hands?
Combined with Griffin's reimbursement for the season, some people finally reacted.
"I rely on! Didn't that guy know it early in the morning? It's too exaggerated! Can he not know the prophet?"
"This is not necessarily true, if he really has the vision to replace Arenas?"
Some people say the same.

On the day of the preseason, Arenas also completed his first show in the Timberwolves.
25 minutes into the starting line, Arenas scored 31 points and 5 assists, the efficiency is terrible.
After the game, Arenas said that he felt quite good after returning from injury. I believe that the next game can still maintain such an efficient competitive state.
Many Timberwolves' "fans" shouted for treasure. When the Celtics robbed Garnett, the Timberwolves' "fans" have always been cherished. I didn't expect that one day their own team could also Rob other players.
Wang Xiao did not comment on this.
After Arenas is traded to the Timberwolves, there will not necessarily be a gun door incident, but this does not mean that he will always maintain an efficient state.
In another time and space, Arenas' gun goal event was only suspended for 50 games, not as many games as he missed in 2009 due to injury.
But when he returned, his performance dropped significantly, and he was only 29 years old at the time, and was still at the peak of a player.
Wang Xiao is not clear how long Arenas can remain in the peak state if there is no ban on guns, but in any case, he cannot be compared with Curry, and his "sex" style determines that he must not tolerate that he is not The core of the team.
So trading him is an inevitable decision, without any hesitation or regret.
...
The Wizards' debut was very good, and Curry and Harden also performed well as rookies.
But immediately after the second preseason game, the Wizards' starting lineup was very different from the first.
Starting point guard Beverly, shooting guard Miller, small forward Danny Green, power forward Brachy, center Jordan Jr.
Many people are baffled by this pure bench lineup, not knowing what the Wizards are doing.
But this lineup had a very good effect at the beginning. The physical qualities of the five players on the field were quite "excellent". The defensive actively worked hard. .
However, this lineup obviously has a signing on offense, and the five people on the field have few points to take the initiative to attack.
So although the opponent's score is effectively limited, the score efficiency of one's own side is not high.
A few minutes later, Wang Xiao replaced Mike Miller and put Harden on.
The situation immediately changed.
Harden is a typical defender who needs to attack with the ball. When the ball is in his hands, he can do many things.
Driven by Harden, the scoring efficiency of this lineup has improved significantly.
But at this time, Wang Xiao changed again.
This time it was a massive rotation.
All players except Danny Green were replaced.
Curry, Nick Young, Jamison and McGee came on the court.
The ball attacker changed from Harden to Curry.
At the same time, McGee, who was on the inside, began to pull to the outside for Curry to pick and roll, which made the center of the opponent very headache. He didn't know if he should follow up and defend.
At this time, only him was left, because the other four players were all pulled to the outside by the Wizards' "shooters". If they also follow, the inside is completely empty!
In the gap he was hesitating, McGee blocked Curry's defender. Curry pulled out a little gap and made a three-point shot without hesitation. Basketball responded.
"I'm going! What the are these?"
At this point, the opposing player's psychology may collapse.
There is nothing wrong with pre-season games that are run-in lineups, but there are three sets of lineups with different styles in less than 10 minutes. What the is this?
