NBA: The strongest trash talk

The game begins.

The atmosphere at MCI Arena is fiery, and it is the third largest arena in the NBA, with a capacity of 20,841 people.

Although the Wizards’ record in recent years has been somewhat unsatisfactory, the game still attracted 85% of the fans to watch, which is a good attendance for the regular season.

Listening to the booing in his ears, Chen Xu, who was standing on the court, even missed a little that he hadn’t heard such a harsh sound for a month. Playing in this negative environment is a great exercise in the player’s concentration on the game.

Today, Stevens slightly adjusted the Celtics’ starting lineup, replacing the bulky Marcus Smart with the nimble Terry Rozier in order to deal with the twin guns.

He was also one of the players who had a conflict with Chen Xu last time, but his performance in the past two days was obviously much better.

Stevens also wants to see how much system his current Celtics can play.

The Wizards’ starters, Wall, Beal firmly occupy two positions, Trevor Ariza who was traded from Phoenix only a few days ago occupies one, plus Jeff Green at 206cm and Thomas Brian at 208cm, the Wizards are also closely following the league’s prevailing small-ball whirlwind.

This time, the 208cm Horford finally jumped the ball successfully, and the ball was won by the Celtics.

Rozier, who possessed the ball, kept a close eye on the situation on the field and passed it as soon as Chen Xu had a vacant position.

Ariza also followed the request of head coach Scott Brooks to strictly defend Chen Xu and press fiercely. Rao is so, Chen Xu still hit 2 points and got off to a good start.

Then, the Wizards played a 7-2 run led by Wall. After all, the opposing Twin guard line is a bit better than the Celtics’ two rookie guard lines.

Chen Xu also stood up in time and deliberately misplaced the singles of Bill and Wall one by one, turning the score back.

At the end of the first quarter, Chen Xu scored 12 points on 5-of-9 shooting, facing the single defense of Beal, Wall or Ariza. Most of Chen Xu can rely on his body or skills to get what he wants, but today the hand feels a little cooler, and the efficiency is a little lower than the original, but it is still the highest in the whole field.

The Celtics also entered the second quarter by a narrow margin.

In the second quarter, the Wizards coach changed his defensive strategy against Chen Xu, preferring to let the rest of the Celtics have more open space than let Chen Xu easily get the ball.

So throughout the second quarter, as if entering the rhythm of the first round of the playoffs, once Chen Xu asked for the ball, in addition to Ariza, Jeff Green on the Wizards forward line would also come to contain the ball handler.

Under the strict defense of Ariza and Jeff Green, Chen Xu only scored 6 shots in the entire second quarter, hitting 3 shots, fortunately, all three were 3 points, plus 2 free throw opportunities, Chen Xu once again scored 11 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, and his hand slightly recovered.

In just half a quarter, Chen Xu recorded 23 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal.

Fortunately, the Wizards’ hands were also smooth, and Ariza and Wall each scored two three-pointers in the second quarter to hold on to the score.

On the contrary, the Celtics players felt a little cold in back-to-back games, and no one hit another three-pointer except Chen Xu in the entire second quarter.

Thanks to Hayward and Horford, they relied on their height to be inside the three-point line, shooting from the middle, and having everything under the basket, which maintained the lead for the Celtics.

After halftime, the atmosphere of the Wizards was a little more relaxed, at least this time against the united Celtics, they did not fall behind too much, only trailing by two points 64-66, and there was every hope of winning.

The Wizards’ record this year has not met expectations, but if they can win against the Celtics, who have been gaining momentum recently, the morale of the Wizards team will also be improved, which will help the next game.

And although Chen Xu is efficient, he only has 6 shots in the second quarter. The rest of the Celtics also had a mediocre touch, indicating that the head coach had an effective defensive strategy for Chen Xu.

At the beginning of the second half, the Wizards came together and the tactics were slightly effective, and Beal also singled Rozier in a row, causing the opponent to commit 2 fouls and 4 fouls in the game.

The Wizards also relied on Beal’s power to outtake the Celtics by six points, 79-73.

Rozier was then replaced with Marcus Smart.

The well-rested Marcus Smart lived up to expectations, and although he was not as fast as the Wizards Gemini, with his size and weight, Marcus made the Gemini play hard.

Coupled with Chen Xu’s defense, the Wizards did not pull the score away, and after the third quarter, the Celtics trailed by six points at 84-90.

Chen Xu only had 8 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist in the third quarter.

“Hey, nice. Continue to work harder, we limit Chen Xu and win them in one go. “John Wall inspires his teammates.

He had a smooth game, shooting 8 of 14 from the field in just three quarters, scoring 19 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, but was prevented from 6 turnovers. But the flaws aside, and this is also Wall’s most efficient game since the start of the season.

But in the fourth quarter, Stevens used a small change to make the Wizards stunned.

Stevens replaced Jaylen Broon and replaced Aaron Baynes, and then Chen Xu was responsible for controlling the ball for half time.

This change is also a defensive deployment for the Wizards. Originally, their defensive strategy was to make Chen Xu feel uncomfortable with the ball and reduce his shot. But now Chen Xu directly controls the ball, unless you can make a hard steal, or pass the midfield bag, you can’t limit Chen Xu.

Fortunately, Chen Xu’s possession already has 81 attributes, second only to the level of an All-Star bench-level point guard, which also allows Chen Xu to complete this task.

Sure enough, Chen Xu, who took the ball, could not be limited by the defense of the Wizards, plus Chen Xu did not shoot much in the first three quarters and had plenty of physical strength. Three rounds, 2 consecutive shots plus 1 3-pointer to put the score back by 1 point.

“Damn it!!” Wall was a little frustrated, his team struggled to maintain the lead in the first three quarters, only to lose the lead within two minutes of the fourth quarter.

Seeing that the time had come, Chen Xu also laughed: “Wall, don’t worry, this is just the beginning.” What is your stadium’s all-time scoring record? No matter how much, I think I’ll try to refresh it. ”

“What? Wall was stunned, and then saw Chen Xu use his height to easily stand in front of him, and he hit another two-point shot!

Entering the fourth quarter, in just 3 minutes, Chen Xu had already scored 9 points! The individual score has also reached 40 points!
