Chapter 138 Dunk over Haywood!
As Coach Zhang's voice continued to be heard from the TV, the Dragon Country fans cheered with excitement.
"Is Arenas going to compete with Dayu? Both of them scored in double digits in a single quarter!"
"I never realized it before! Is Arenas' offensive firepower so explosive?"
"If it wasn't for the wrong appearance, I would feel like Kobe is possessed!"
"I started to feel bad for the players on both sides. Dayu and Arenas were competing against each other, and the others just started running back."
"..."
After Lin Yu and Arenas started competing against each other.
Antawn Jamison and Coach Lu became the worst sufferers.
The two's defense was already average to begin with, and now they have no choice but to defend.
The two of them are destined to become background boards at this moment!
Wizards head coach Eddie Jordan looked at Lin Yu and Arenas on the court like gods.
There was a hint of pride in his eyes.
He studied the Celtics before the game began.
The Celtics' front line and interior defense are definitely top-notch in the league.
But the back line is indeed too weak.
And the Celtics are ultimately a dual-core team.
Why do many teams like to form a Big Three in the future?
In the final analysis, the lower limit is guaranteed!
It is inevitable for a player to have a bad touch.
Even Steve Jobs and Kobe Bryant had their moments of missing shots, let alone ordinary players?
One star player may not perform well, but it is impossible for all three to perform poorly, right?
Eddie Jordan's idea was simple.
Lin Yu can beat Arenas.
But can Pierce alone offset Antawn Jamison and Larry Hughes?
You should know that this trio can average 67.1 points per game this season.
In terms of scoring, the firepower of the three-man offense is enough to destroy most teams!
At the end of the first quarter.
The Celtics lead the Wizards by 25 point, 24:1.
Lin Yu scored 13 points and Arenas scored 12 points.
"Wonderful! It's so wonderful!"
"Dayu's first quarter score has already created a new NBA record. If nothing unexpected happens, Dayu should be able to break his own NBA scoring record!"
Coach Zhang started cheering excitedly.
"The second quarter begins, Arenas takes the lead in attacking!"
"The Celtics also replaced Tyronn Lue with West to defend Arenas in the first quarter."
"West lacked defensive experience, and Arenas shook him off with a fake move."
"As Arenas shot, he drew a foul from West.
2+1!
Arenas came up and scored a 2+1. ”
Arenas is actually also a master at drawing fouls.
Arenas averaged 8 free throws per game this season, and at the peak of his career he averaged 10 free throws per game.
The bearded player, who has always been criticized for his body hair whistles, had a career-high of 11.8 free throws in a season.
It is not difficult to see from here that Arenas is capable of drawing fouls.
Arenas walked up to the free throw line and started trash talking to Lin Yu.
"Lin Yu, the first quarter warm-up is over! The game has just begun!"
"Exactly what I want!"
Lin Yu knew that he had to be serious too!
Swish!
The basketball went into the net and the MIC Center was once again filled with cheers.
The Celtics began to attack, and Lin Yu held the ball in a high position.
With a drastic change of direction, he broke through Antoine Jamison's right side.
Antoine Jamison subconsciously moved to the right, and Lin Yu then made a big change of direction and directly broke through Antoine Jamison to the left.
This time, Antoine Jamison didn't have time to move to the left and was directly passed by Lin Yu.
Antoine Jamison's eyes were full of helplessness.
He also knew that after he moved sideways, Lin Yu would definitely change direction again. But he had no choice.
If he hadn't moved sideways to block the right side, Lin Yu would have successfully broken through just now.
After breaking through, Lin Yu accelerated directly into the Wizards' penalty area.
Brandon Haywood was originally a member of the Mavericks championship team.
He is a typical blue-collar center who can finish the offense. He has no low-post skills and is extremely poor at free throws, but he is excellent at low-post defense and can grab rebounds and block shots.
After Lin Yu broke into the penalty area, he chose to jump directly facing the penalty area guarded by Brandon Haywood.
Brandon Haywood saw Lin Yu jump and jumped right after him.
bump!
The two bodies collided in mid-air.
Brandon Haywood subconsciously felt something was wrong.
Because he found that Lin Yu's body was still rising!
His eyes were full of unwillingness and a hint of despair!
He wanted to block Lin Yu, but his body had already started falling.
Bang!
Lin Yu dunked over the Wizards' 2-meter center Brandon Haywood.
In an instant, the entire MIC Center Arena fell into silence.
Many fans looked towards the center of the stadium with their mouths wide open and dull eyes in shock.
They couldn't believe it!
Brandon Haywood, the Wizards' penalty zone guardian, was actually dunked on!
Wizards head coach Eddie Jordan watched this scene.
He swallowed subconsciously, with shock in his eyes, and at the same time, an idea emerged in his mind.
He feels...
I seem to have underestimated Lin Yu!
Arenas alone can't defeat Lin Yu!
Arenas watched Lin Yu dunk over Brandon Haywood with a look of shock in his eyes.
As a teammate, Arenas is well aware of the difficulty of dunking over Brandon Haywood.
but……
As the Wizards' star player, he naturally wouldn't give up just like that!
After Lin Yu celebrated with Pierce and others, they immediately began to retreat.
At this time, Arenas' voice sounded again.
"Lin Yu, don't think I will give up just because of this. No matter how amazing the dunk was, it would only be 2 points!"
"Gilbert, admit it! The Wizards are destined to be defeated by me."
"The game isn't over yet, it's too early for you to draw conclusions!"
Brandon Haywood, who was standing by, heard the two men's trash talk and his face was full of helplessness.
As the background board who was just blocked, is there no one who cares about me?
Eddie Jordan: Don't mind being dunked on! Just keep guarding the rim and be a good worker.
The cameras and fans at the scene were all focused on Arenas.
Everyone knows it!
As the Wizards' star player, Arenas will definitely respond at this time!
Arenas held the ball at the top of the arc, and West began to defend Arenas alone.
Although West is more suitable for defending Arenas than Coach Lu, this is only in terms of physical talent.
Defense always requires more than just physical talent, but also sufficient experience.
"Delonte West was shaken by Gilbert Arenas' fake shot, and Gilbert accelerated and broke through, then made a quick stop and jump shot!"
"Gilbert Arenas! He is the savior of the Wizards today! The fans at the scene began to cheer for Gilbert!"
The commentator at the scene also started to get excited at this time.
Arenas raised his arms and accepted the cheers from the fans.
"Gilbert! Defeat the Celtics!"
"MVP! Gilbert! You are the MVP of tonight!"
"The Celtics are destined to fail tonight!"
"..."
Arenas, who was receiving cheers from the fans, did not remain happy for long, as the Wizards faced a counterattack from the Celtics.
