The Fifth Point Guard

Although the Wizards' record is average, the team's atmosphere is undoubtedly very good.

Under Arenas' leadership, they play happy basketball.

Arenas, Hughes, and Stackhouse form the Wizards' three nerve knives.

When their outside line is accurate, they are almost undefendable.

In addition to these three players, there are insiders Brandon Haywood and Jordan's No. 1 pick Kwame Brown.

In addition, they also have strong players such as Hayes, Dixon, Thomas, and Blake sitting on their bench.

After Arenas won the Most Improved Player Award last season, he took the lead as soon as he came to the Wizards.

He averaged 20+5+5 per game here, and the nickname "General" has begun to resound in Washington.

Hughes and Arenas are both combo guards. The combination of the two on the back line has enriched the team's offensive style. In addition to excellent perimeter defense, Hughes also averaged close to 19 points and 5.3 rebounds per game. With 2.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists, he is considered the second player on the team outside Arenas.

Stackhouse was the boss of the Wizards last season, but unfortunately he was sidelined due to injury in the second half of the season. When he came back, the team had welcomed the new boss Arenas.

Stackhouse, who had no choice but to accept the new role of the team, although his performance was not as good as last season, was still the team's No. 3 figure.

Because he had just recovered from injury, team coach Eddie Jordan strictly limited Stackhouse's playing time.

He averaged 13.9 points, 3.6 rebounds and 4.0 assists in 29.8 minutes per game. He is still an indispensable figure in the Wizards' formation.

Although this team is not as good as the Cavaliers in terms of record and lineup, no one knows whether the Wizards' talented players will collectively show their strength in this game.

It was like the Spurs were caught off guard.

The reason why the Wizards are happy is not just because of the funny guy Arenas, but because of several funny guys coming together.

When the players from both sides came on the court, the Wizards' five starters actually put on Ginyu special forces looks.

"Wow~~Brandon Haywood!"

"Hey~~Qiqi! Kwame Brown!"

"Hey! Jerry Stackhouse!"

"Wow~~Larry Hughes!"

"Ha! Gilbert Arenas!"

"All assembled! Genius Special Forces!"

All knights:-_-||

Referee: (⊙o⊙)

Shentong did not expect that Arenas would forget about being funny, and even Stackhouse, who had always been serious, would

Starhawks: People under the eaves have to bow their heads.

Judging from the momentum alone on the field, the Cavaliers lost a lot.

Before the game, the starting lineups for both sides were released.

Cavaliers: Big Z, Boozer, James, Shentong, McGinnis.

Wizards: Haywood, Brown, Stackhouse, Hughes, Arenas.

When Shentong was in the locker room, the Basketball God Space refreshed a main mission.

{

Main mission: Stability is paramount

Mission statement: Although development is the last word, in this game, stability is the most important thing. Facing the Wizards' nerve knife, we must stick to our own rhythm and not be influenced by the other party. Because once we enter their game rhythm, we will fall into their pit, and then be defeated by their rich experience. The Spurs are a clear warning.

Mission requirements: Defeat the Wizards with a margin of victory of more than 10 points

Main line reward: lottery ticket*1

Task status: waiting to be collected

}

Seeing this mission reward, Shentong had to sigh with emotion.

The raffle ticket rewards have not been seen for a long time.

The props released by the "Bao Lun" function are often surprising.

As for this mission, it must be accepted.

Meeting Jefferson, Arenas, and Woods are all must-win games.

After making a "wonderful" appearance, Arenas stepped forward and hugged Shentong.

"Hey, Shen, I didn't expect you to do well here after leaving New Jersey and stay in the top three in the Eastern Conference in Cleveland." Arenas said.

Shentong smiled and said: "Gilbert, I am a winning general. No matter where we are, my team is very competitive. It's just you, buddy. It seems that you haven't played in the playoffs since you entered the league."

Hearing what Shentong said, Arenas was anxious.

"Shen, don't forget who took you around when you were in college!"

"It's Lute Olson."

Arenas: "."

"We'll see, Shen, I want to make this game look good for you!"

"waiting for you."

The two looked at each other and smiled, their eyes showing a burning desire for victory.

Wagner and Stewart talk on the sidelines.

Wagner: "I don't know how Shen knew such a funny guy as Gilbert."

Stewart: "He was a teammate on the NCAA championship team. Gilbert was the top player on the Arizona Wildcats when he was in college."

Wagner: "Sure enough, a person cannot be judged by his appearance."

Stewart: "That's right."

The two were chatting, and the number 213 was shining brightly behind them.

On the court, Shentong, who was wearing No. 25, and Arenas, who was No. 0, were talking side by side. The number 250 was also a little bright under the light.

With the referee's whistle, the home game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Washington Wizards officially begins!

Although Haywood is physically strong, he is almost the same as Big Z in terms of bounce speed, but Big Z's arm is better, and the Cavaliers won the ball in the opening game.

McGinnis had just dribbled to the frontcourt, and before he raised his hand to indicate the tactics, the Wizards already had a double team coming forward.

Arenas and Hughes double-teamed so quickly that there was no time to react. McGinnis was already surrounded by the two.

Just past Arenas' frontal steal, Hughes' hands had already reached behind his back.

By the time McGinnis noticed it, it was too late to dodge.

The Wizards got the steal right at the start!

Very aggressive defense.

In fact, although the Wizards' record is average, the team's steals per game rank among the top in the league.

After Hughes stole the ball, he handed the ball to Arenas, who advanced to the frontcourt and dunked with both hands!

Hanging with his hands in the air and raising his legs, Arenas seemed to feel full of energy today.

Being able to meet old friends on the court, the fighting spirit that surges up does not require any mobilization at all.

The Cavaliers attack, and when McGinnis dribbles through the frontcourt, the Wizards double-team again.

This time McGinnis was prepared and quickly passed the ball to Shentong.

Just when Shentong was about to catch the ball, a figure passed by and stretched out his arm to break the ball.

Stackhouse went on a one-stop fast break and succeeded in a one-handed dunk.

The Cavaliers, including the fans at the scene, did not expect that the Wizards would successfully steal twice in the opening game and make a fast break.

Cavaliers coach Paul Silas shouted loudly on the sidelines: "Pass the ball faster, everyone pay attention to the response."

Originally, STO planned to observe the situation through the game before deciding which halo to use, but now it seems that there is a halo that is very suitable for the current situation.

Take out the monkey halo from the basket god space.

The crystal light of the halo soon enveloped the sky above the stadium.

Monkey Aura: Increases the strength of ball control and passing by 20% (the ball is less likely to be stolen or destroyed, the timing and speed of passing are effectively improved, etc.)
