NBA: No. 1 Forward

After the Washington Wizards decided to build a team centered on John Wall, their trade for Arenas was even more imminent.

The coincidence of the positions of the two people is bound to be impossible to be compatible in the future, and the Wizards really don\'t want to keep Arenas as a bomb in the locker room.

This game is Arenas\' comeback battle, but the Wizards did not put Arenas in the starting lineup. It can also be seen from this that the Wizards are determined to restore John Wall.

This game has attracted a lot of attention in China, because Yi Jianlian was traded to the Washington Wizards by the Nets during the offseason. This game is also a Chinese derby.

It\'s just that Yi Jianlian didn\'t appear on the list of starters.

November 5, 2010, Madison Square Garden!

Washington Wizards starters: John Wall, Kirk Hinrich, Al Thornton, Andray Blatche, JaVale McGee.

New York Knicks starters: Jrue Holiday, Danny Green, Lian Dao, Stoudemire, Millsap.

The overall height of the Wizards inside is higher than that of the Knicks. Andrey Blatche is 2.11 meters tall, and JaVale McGee is 2.13 meters tall. They are much taller than Stoudemire and Millsap .

In the first quarter, John Wall, who was the No. 1 pick in the first quarter, suffered a disadvantage from Holiday, who had been baptized in the playoffs. John Wall, who had been blocked by Holiday one after another, wanted to squeeze Holiday Le Di, he found that he couldn\'t stand it at all.

Although the 205-pound Holiday is not as strong as Tony Allen, he is definitely hard to find opponents at the No. 1 position. John Wall, who just entered the league, although he is the No. 1 pick, still cannot get rid of his rookie characteristics. His thin body is his The first weakness.

John Wall, who failed to break through, had no choice but to choose outside shooting, but under the interference of Holiday, who is not inferior to John Wall in height and wingspan, he also missed many shots.

And Lian Dao was very interested in seeing that Holliday was also very interested in educating rookies, so he didn\'t want the ball, and helped Holliday open up space from the outside, just watching the second-year Huolidi education this year\'s No. 1 pick.

Amidst the welcome voices of "Rookie, welcome to the NBA!", John Wall gradually lost himself. The confidence accumulated in the first three games was almost lost in this matchup.

The head coach of the Washington Wizards, Philip Daniel Sanders, saw that John Wall\'s confidence was frustrated, so he hurriedly called a timeout. He didn\'t want to see the Knicks directly destroy John Wall\'s confidence. Out of protection, He also let Arenas replace John Wall.

After Arenas glanced at John Wall, he sneered.

"A rookie, after all, a rookie!"

Arenas\' ridicule made John Wall\'s face very ugly, but he didn\'t say anything, after all, he was blown up on both offense and defense.

Arenas knew that this rookie\'s talent was higher than his own, and he also knew that the arrival of this rookie would inevitably make him leave Washington, which he dedicated his youth to, but he also knew that all of this was caused by himself, and he felt helpless But more is the regret and bitterness after the impulse.

Arenas did not change the Wizards\' situation on the court after he played, because the game has been taken over by Lian Dao and Stoudemire.

Moreover, Arenas\' organizational skills are not as good as John Wall\'s, and Arenas is more like an offensive point guard. If it weren\'t for John Wall\'s inexperience and a little superior just now, if he passed the ball with all his heart, Holiday would not be able to restrain him to death.

It can only be said that rookies will always have to pay some tuition fees as they grow up.

Although JaVale McGee is taller than Millsap, his lower body strength is too weak, especially under the defense of a short and strong inside line like Millsap, McGee did not give full play to his advantages in the inside line.

After the first quarter, at 23:34, the Knicks led by 11 points in a single quarter.

In the second quarter, the two sides replaced the substitute lineup. D\'Antoni also knew that this game was called the Chinese Derby, so he did not let Lian Dao end.

The domestic audience saw that Lian Dao remained on the court in the second quarter, while the Wizards replaced Yi Jianlian, whom domestic audiences were thinking of.

The domestic fans in front of the TV once again saw that the two were competing on the same stage.

However, it is not good news for the Wizards that Lian Dao stays on the court, especially Lian Dao who has taken over the offensive banner.

Lian Dao entered the offensive state in the second quarter, with a three-pointer, a fadeaway jumper, and a dunk...

After playing, Lian Dao played a wave of 12:0.

And John Wall, who returned to the court in the second quarter, faced Tony Allen\'s defense this time. I have to say that this kid is really pitiful.

But this time, he did not continue to be an iron-headed baby, but used his organizational ability to pass the ball one after another to Yi Jianlian, who has medium and long distances.

Under the defense of David Lee, Yi Jianlian was not afraid at all, hitting two mid-range shots and one three-pointer in succession.

The Knicks can always continue to fire, Cousins ​​dunks under the basket, Wilson Chandler hits a three-pointer from the outside, and David Lee hits a mid-range shot.

All the players on the Knicks field opened fire.

After that, the Wizards did not continue to fire.

The end of the second quarter, 38:60.

At halftime, the Knicks led by 22 points, and the Madison Square Garden fans cheered wildly.

At the beginning of the season, as soon as the season tickets for the Knicks at Madison Square Garden were on sale, they were all sold out. As long as they played at home, the Madison Square Garden must be full, and some New York fan bars, live broadcasts and replays of the Knicks 24/7 the match of.

Walking on the streets of New York, Knicks posters can be seen everywhere on both sides of the street, and fans wearing Knicks jerseys can be seen everywhere, and the number 1 jersey of Lian Dao is the most. Top of the sales list.

Last season, the Knicks\' revenue was more than twice that of the Lakers\', setting an NBA team\'s revenue record. Some people predict that the Knicks\' revenue will continue to grow this season. If the Knicks win the championship this season, their revenue will be astronomical.

The Chinese Derby that domestic fans are looking forward to, did not expect that it would be a unilateral massacre of the Wizards by the Knicks.

Although Yi Jianlian came off the bench, he performed well. At halftime, he also scored 9 points and 4 rebounds.

And Lian Dao scored 30 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists at halftime At the beginning of the second half, D\'Antoni did not let Lian Dao rest. , you can rest early.

Entering the third quarter, the Knicks replaced all the main players, and the offense and defense blossomed across the board.

Philip Daniel Sanders, who played consecutively, called a timeout, but the gap in overall strength cannot be resolved by tactics.

The Knicks\' lead continued to expand. Lian Dao made a three-pointer from outside the three-point line, and the lead expanded to 30 points; Holiday made a breakthrough and scored a layup, leading by 36 points; Leading by 41 points; Stoudemire attacked face-to-face and smashed Huashan, leading by 49 points...

Seeing that the Wizards were about to encounter a massacre in Madison Square Garden, Philip Daniel Sanders couldn\'t struggle anymore. At 6 minutes and 32 seconds of the third quarter, he called a timeout and replaced the entire bench. He announced his surrender, but he left John Wall on the field.

John Wall, this game was restricted on the offensive end. So far he has only scored 6 points and 9 assists. It is understandable to use garbage time to play and collect data. After all, the growth of a rookie requires a lot of playing time. It\'s garbage time!

It is very comfortable to end the battle in two and a half quarters. Compared with last season, the back-to-back games this season are completely different. In many cases last season, the Knicks chose to give up one of the games, even if they did not choose Sexually give up, and they will also lose many times.

However, this season, as long as there are back-to-back games, they will quickly resolve one of the battles and get a lot of rest time.
