"We can't give up! Basketball is round. As long as we work hard, there will be hope!" Jamison loudly cheered for his teammates.

The Wizards are a youth team. Apart from former Lakers player Samakie Walker, the oldest players are Antawn Jamison and Larry Hughes, who entered the NBA in 1998.

Although Jamison's leadership skills are average, the Wizards players are young and can be easily motivated.

There is one man who is desperate but eager to escape from this miserable fear, that man is Gilbert Arenas.

In the past, I was only beaten by Liu Mang in the regular season, but now I meet Liu Mang in the playoffs. After this match, two situations may occur.

One is to defeat Liu Mang and break the inner demon; the second is to be defeated by Liu Mang and never recover...

Arenas was almost depressed when he faced Liu Mang. He was originally depressed when he met James in the playoffs for three consecutive years starting from the 2005-06 season. Some fans joked that he pulled out a gun in 2009.

Because I was depressed after being beaten by James, I couldn't bear it anymore...

Arenas is now eager to defeat Liu Mang more than anyone else. As a rookie in the same class, he is neither in the same position as Liu Mang like Gasol, nor does he want to become Liu Mang's teammate like the No. 1 pick he hates.

Parker didn't have the good luck to win a championship with Duncan within two years of entering the NBA. Parker was the first player to win a championship in the 2001 class, mainly because the Lakers had no draft picks in 2001.

Arenas came out of the second round, and his fate is very similar to that of Liu Mang. They both started to perform well beyond their draft picks in their rookie seasons. However, Liu Mang is the more dazzling one, and Arenas has always been

In the shadow of Liu Mang.

Arenas can only defeat Liu Mang. Even if he can win one game, his inner demons will be resolved. But four years have passed and he has not won against Liu Mang.

Arenas doesn't want to go on like this, he wants to win!

…

…

Watching the regular season championship banner being raised, the Eagles players were very excited, mainly the new players, including Alonzo Mourning, who had never won a regular season championship.

The championship banner is embroidered with the names of every Hawks player, coaching staff member, and owner, including the names of Tony Allen and Ariza who have left the team, and the names of Kevin Willis, which is the first name in NBA history.

It left a small mark on it, and even the veteran players were filled with excitement.

Liu Mang, Jason Terry, and Muhammad, the three players who have been on the team, are in average spirits and have already won their third regular season championship banner.

If it weren't for the fact that although his team is one of the 11 oldest teams in the NBA, it doesn't have much honor and the sky above the arena is empty. Liu Mang would have wanted to suggest that he should be like the Celtics and Lakers.

The championship flag has been hung, but although it is a veteran team and one of only four remaining teams out of the original 11 teams, which has a longer history than the Lakers, it has not accumulated much heritage.

, you can only hang it first.

After the championship flag was raised, the pre-game activities were almost over. Waiting for the Perfect Empire song to be played, getting ready, the game was about to begin.

While the American Empire song was playing, Liu Mang took a look at the Wizards' lineup.

Arenas, with an ability evaluation of 87, Jamison, with an ability evaluation of 86, Larry Hughes, with an ability evaluation of 88. The trio is still so good, but not the others. Haywood has an ability evaluation of 73, Jarvis-

Hayes, ability evaluation 69.

Arenas finished the regular season this season, averaging 25.5 points, 4.7 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game, but the Wizards' best performer was Larry Hughes, who averaged 23 points, 6.4 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 2.8 steals per game. He is versatile in both offense and defense. He is the Wizards' best performer.

The real core, Arenas is relatively a weakened version of Liu Mang who can pass the ball more.

As for Jamison, he only averaged 19 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists per game this season. His tactical status is not high, he is strong offensively and weak defensively, and his blocks and steals data are almost equal to 0. However, he has a good attitude, at least he will not become a black hole, and his skills are said to be ten short.

Centimeter Nowitzki.

I think Jamison's statistics in the first three years of his career were much better than Nowitzki's, but he was with the Warriors. The Warriors' determination to wait for Curry to throw away any star made them let go one after another.

A first-class star or a embryo of a star.

Arenas is compared to Liu Mang for a reason. Players in the same class are both top-scoring point guards, second-round picks, and have the highest and second-highest salaries in the 2001 class.

After looking at the strength of the Wizards' main players, there are only three stars. Except for Haywood and Antonio Daniels on the bench, there is no average player in the role players. The main reason is that the team is reluctant to spend money. They have 49 million.

The salary has not yet reached the salary cap. Except for Jamison and Arenas, who have annual salaries of tens of millions, and Larry Hughes, who earns the mid-level salary, the remaining player with the highest salary is the No. 10 pick in 2003 with US$2.48 million.

Elvis Hayes.

…

The preparation time before the game was over, and with Prince dancing and Kwame Brown clapping his hands and powder flying in the air, the lights dimmed and the scene became quiet.

Rasheed Wallace's rough face appeared on the big screen, and with a roar, the arena that had been extremely quiet just a moment ago suddenly exploded!

Liu Mang threw magnesium powder into the air and walked onto the court with McGrady, who had discussed with the referee to get a softer ball with less air.

"Ding... The Eagles' Devils triggered at home, and the morale of the Washington Wizards dropped significantly, from Rasheed Wallace and Phillips Arena fans."

"Ding... Gilbert Arenas has entered a last-ditch state. This series will ignore any external interference and offset the pressure from the Eagles' devilish home court."

Liu Mang didn't expect to hear this prompt!

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Hey, is this guy trying to eat people?" Only then did Liu Mang notice the desperate look in Arenas's eyes when he looked at him.

Arenas was also a top-level star in his peak period. At that time, Liu Mang felt that Arenas could be a bit of a threat, but now Arenas...

Beat him!

Arenas is now judged by the system to be in a last-ditch state, but Liu Mang doesn't have much fear. Liu Mang's current idea is to do it!

For the Eagles, Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, Prince, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown all appeared.

For the Wizards, Arenas, Larry Hughes, Antawn Jamison, Jarvis Hayes, and Brand Haywood appeared in the lineup.

"Tyshawn, do you guard Arenas or should I guard him?" Liu Mang asked Prince.

"Anything is fine," Prince responded.

The main reason is that Arenas and Larry Hughes are about the same strength. Tracy McGrady needs to guard against Jamison. It doesn't matter who Liu Mang or Prince guards Arenas or Larry Hughes.

"Then let me guard Arenas!" Liu Mang wanted to play against Arenas. Anyway, these two are the best outside players among first-class players.

"good."

Prince is as cool as a killer with no emotion.

Who is the boss? Liu Mang felt seriously frustrated. He thought for a moment if he should be cooler?

After seeing Liu Mang glance at him, he began to lose focus. Arenas's pent-up energy was ignited and he wanted to win!

Kwame Brown and Haywood, the two "old enemies", came to the center circle. Of course, the old enemy was from Haywood's perspective. Now Kwame Brown no longer takes the grudge with Haywood to heart, and has a higher level of vision.

After that, he no longer cared so much about the dirty things he did in the past. Kwame Brown's opinion of Haywood was to deal with this guy properly. This guy has excellent blocking and blocking abilities.

The referee came to the center circle, pointed to both sides, blew the whistle to start the game, and threw the ball into the sky.

Haywood jumped up hard, but as players in the same class, they are all physically fit men. The reason why the No. 1 pick is the No. 1 pick is because his physical fitness is better than other physical men in the same class!

Kwame Brown batted the ball backwards with a small hand gap. Liu Mang received the ball and passed it to Tracy McGrady before running forward.

As soon as Liu Mang crossed the halfway line, he was approached by Larry Hughes.

Liu Mang continuously moved laterally, accelerated quickly, and decelerated running, but he could not get rid of Larry Hughes. Larry Hughes focused on defending Liu Mang, his awareness was so good!

Moreover, the Wizards did a good job defensively. Liu Mang ran inside to try to use the pick-and-roll, but the opponent used the method of blocking the opponent in advance. In the playoffs, the referee's scale became looser, and this kind of physical confrontation did not affect the referee.

post.

He is indeed the guy with the best defensive performance among outside players this season! Liu Mang sighed secretly. Larry Hughes used his awareness, physical fitness and the defense of his teammates to run to the left at a 45-degree angle, which he is best at.

The two wings have a 45-degree angle to open up space beyond the three-point line.

McGrady saw that Liu Mang had no chance. When Liu Mang led Larry Hughes from the inside to the left at a 45-degree angle, McGrady immediately chose to break through, easily leaving Jamison behind, and rushed to the inside for a layup.

Scored two points.

The opponent's inside and outside lines work together to defend Liu Mang. As long as McGrady passes the defender from the other side, it is too easy to score inside!

In transition between offense and defense, the Wizards attack.

Seeing Arenas advancing, Liu Mang defended outside the three-point line. Arenas ranked eighth in the league in three-pointers per game this season, averaging 2.6 per game and shooting 36%.

A very accurate three-point shot.

What endears Arenas most to fans and what makes him dislike Wizards head coach Eddie Jordan is his signature long three-pointer.

Arenas passed halftime and saw Liu Mang's expectant expression. Arenas tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart and the fear of never defeating Liu Mang, and observed Liu Mang's defense.

Arenas knows Liu Mang's defense very well. Liu Mang is very good at guarding technical and fast singles players. Unless he is as skilled as Ginobili, or like Kobe, Wade, or Francis, he deliberately relies on his body to directly attack.

Eat, otherwise it will be difficult to defeat Liu Mang alone.

Arenas calmed down and waved for a pick-and-roll.

Haywood came out to block Liu Mang. Liu Mang was afraid of Arenas' breakthrough jumper. Instead of going around the pick-and-roll from the front, he relied on Haywood to quickly bypass the pick-and-roll and block Arenas' breakthrough path. However, Liu Mang bypassed the pick-and-roll.

After passing the pick-and-roll, Arenas only moved one step laterally!

Arenas and Haywood, with the baskets in a straight line, took one step across the three-point line and took a three-point shot!

"Bang"

"Shua"

The shot was perfect! The three-pointer from the front hit the small rectangle on the backboard and bounced into the basket!

Arenas came up and hit a three-pointer!

How dare you throw it!
