18. Eviction
After returning from the second quarter, the two sides replaced the substitute lineup to compete.
The Wizards' second team this season is not very strong, and the only one who can still play in the entire rotation stage is probably the second-year rookie Jalvis Hayes.
As a young player with quite comprehensive offensive methods, Hayes can average 10 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists per game this season.
This data is already very good for a substitute player.
Similarly, Hayes is also the only player on the Wizards who can play,
In addition, the competitive level of others is very average, even though there is a newcomer named Steve Blake sitting on the bench at this moment.
But Blake is still a rookie and has no position in this Wizards, let alone stand up and take on the organizational responsibility.
In the second quarter, the Timberwolves quickly gained the upper hand with their better substitute firepower, widening the score difference to double digits in a short period of time.
Seeing this situation, Wizards head coach Eddie Jordan took Arenas back on the court immediately, allowing Arenas to rest for only three and a half minutes off the court.
The generals this season have long been accustomed to this substitution operation.
After all, Arenas currently has 41.1 minutes per game, ranking first in the league without any suspense.
From this point of view, we can see that Eddie Jordan's coaching idea is to use stars in a desperate way, and he even wishes that Arenas would play the whole game.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to Arenas, Larry Hughes and Jamison also played more than 39 minutes.
I have to say that the reason why Eddie Jordan couldn't make it in the NBA in the end was because he was too crazy.
Since the general came back very early and Luke was in rotation normally, he did not get back the main force in advance like Eddie Jordan.
So during the period after returning, the general played a very comfortable offensive rhythm, without any constraints in the first quarter.
However, the good times did not last long. Under the offensive firepower of "General" Arenas, the Wizards were slowly eroding the lead.
But as Luke gradually brought the main force back to the field, the Timberwolves quickly controlled the situation and their defense against Arenas also returned to a limit.
This kind of defensive defense made Arenas want to vomit. If it weren't for the occasion, Arenas wouldn't help but want to take out his gun and kill Luke, the guy.
Because before meeting the Timberwolves, although the general often faced double-teams, and even had three people experienced this treatment, no team could have made people's mentality like the Timberwolves.
The Timberwolves neither double-team nor fully close to the general's defense. Instead, they look harmless. However, only the general who is the person involved knows that all his offensive hot zones are occupied by Timberwolves players.
The joint defense core led by Garnett kept driving Arenas to the left where he was the least good at completing the attack.
If Arenas does not want to follow the route arranged in advance by the Timberwolves, he must forcefully take action against the defender.
This defensive method is really too mentally irritating. At least Arenas has been angry at this time.
"Lu, calm down! Be sure to be calm!"
