After more than a day of training, November 27th came quickly.
The game between the Washington Wizards and the Orlando Magic was a very hot and exciting game that day.
In addition to the outcome of tonight's game, which will determine the second place in the Eastern Conference, more people still want to see Arenas and the Wizards fall in love with each other.
After all, when the Wizards were losing in a row, Arenas, who was far away in Orlando, shared his happy life on his personal Twitter every day, and the text he posted was also meaningful. It can be seen that Arenas has a deep love for the Wizards and Li Kaiming. The resentment is great.
This game is the first time Arenas has returned to the MCI Center after being traded to the Magic. Facing Li Kaiming, who forced him away, and the Wizards, who traded him, how will Arenas perform?
Everyone has some expectations in their hearts!
Arenas is not a bad guy. Whether he turns around to celebrate after a buzzer beater, scores 60 points against Kobe Bryant, or even brings a gun into the locker room, you can see that this guy's character is the kind of lawless devil!
Now that the Demon King has suffered a loss, do you expect him to put down his butcher knife and change his temper in just ten days?
The possibility of this happening is... well, it's like trying to change a dog's habit of eating shit.
Arenas may give up revenge on the Wizards and Li Kaiming, but it is a bit unlikely that Arenas will give up revenge...
As for what Li Kaiming said after the last game, it was just an ordinary regular season, but it was ignored by most people!
Haha, as the winner, of course you can say that this is an ordinary regular season, but for Arenas who was kicked out of the house, tonight is the best time to take revenge...
Just think about it, if you were the one who was kicked out, and now you had a chance to fight back and slap those who looked down on you in the face, would you treat it as if nothing happened?
Some people may say that I am more generous and can accept this kind of thing.
That can only mean that you are still too naive. You can say anything if the thing has not happened to you, but if the same thing happens to you, I am afraid you are even crazier than Arenas.
To give you the simplest example, some people comment on these beautiful celebrities on the Internet, saying that they are not good-looking here and have a bad figure there. But if you are really given a chance to have a good time, I am afraid you will want to stuff your balls. Get in!
So based on this kind of thinking, most people firmly believe that tonight Arenas will definitely show unprecedented concentration and hard work to prove to the Wizards that they chose the wrong person!
Therefore, in such an undercurrent atmosphere, the pre-match press conference for today's game was also particularly lively.
The vast majority of reporters were concentrated on the Orlando Magic, waiting for Arenas to come out. They all wanted to see what harsh words the latter would say before the game.
As for whether he would speak harshly, the reporters simply ignored him.
Just kidding, if he didn't say harsh words, could he still be Arenas?
If this is the case, then Arenas should be quickly sent to a distant eastern country to be treated with the help of a dancing master to see if Arenas has been taken away!
After a while, the reporters saw their favorite protagonist appear.
Arenas, Howard and Magic head coach Stan Van Gundy all came out and sat at the table.
The interview between Howard and Van Gundy ended quickly, because few reporters originally cared about the answers of these two people.
Only when a reporter asked a question about Arenas did Howard's answer arouse the reporters' interest.
The question this reporter asked was, "Tonight's game is of great significance. Will you help Gilbert win the game?"
Facing this booby-trapped question, Howard the Happy Beast showed his iconic smile, "Of course, you know, Gilbert is my brother, we have to win this game for him, all of us understand , what this game means to him!”
Howard's explosive answer gave Arenas a good start in the subsequent interview. All the reporters were like hunting dogs that smelled the smell of blood, and they focused their attention on Arenas.
The hors d’oeuvres are over and it’s time for the main meal!
Arenas seemed to be looking forward to the arrival of this day. His body trembled slightly. After reaching out and moving the microphone in front of him in his direction, he spoke, "What do you want to ask me?"
As soon as the words fell, all the reporters on the scene raised their hands.
Arenas glanced around and pointed at an ESPN reporter.
The reporter who was called took out a small notebook, which recorded several questions he wanted to ask, "Gilbert, what do you think of the original deal?"
Arenas took a deep breath and tried to suppress the anger in his heart. "I am very surprised, but also very regretful and sad. I don't know why the management made such a decision. I put my best efforts into I stayed in Washington for my career, but in the end this is how I ended up..."
The flashbulbs on the scene were flashing. This was the first time Arenas had spoken to the media about the transaction after being traded, which was of course of great significance.
"Later I understood that this is business. Maybe I still have feelings for the Washington fans, but these feelings are worthless in the face of cold-blooded transactions!"
The second reporter asked Arenas whether Li Kaiming was also involved in the previously rumored trade rumors and whether this was true.
Arenas' face suddenly turned very dark because he thought of that arrogant figure after his last game with the Wizards, and the words he said with his back turned to him.
He clenched his fists involuntarily, "I don't want to talk about anything related to this person anymore, let's see the truth on the field!"
When reporters saw that Arenas did not directly attack Li Kaiming, but his words also revealed deep hostility, they immediately began to record it!
The last reporter asked what this game means to Arenas. This is also a question that all reporters here are concerned about.
Faced with this seemingly thorny problem, Arenas showed a disdainful smile on his face, "The importance of this game is self-evident. I am not like some guys who have different opinions. I win this game." It must be taken away!”
The people at the scene could tell who Arenas was talking about by just thinking about it with their toes. It seems that Arenas also watched Li Kaiming's post-game interview, so he made the sarcastic comment.
This half-hour pre-match press conference was very fruitful for all reporters who came to the scene.
Now that the stage has been set and the atmosphere is set, it’s time for the game to begin and the show begins!
Tonight, the McI Center was also crowded with people. Whether it was the battle for second place in the Eastern Conference or Arenas' revenge stunt, Washington fans were full of curiosity.
At 7:30 p.m., the players from both sides ended their warm-up, all preparations before the game were completed, and the two well-known commentators, Ryan Hayward and Warner Ross, were also in place in the commentary box.
On the big screen at the mcI Center, the starting lineups of both sides were clearly displayed.
Washington Wizards, point guard Kirk Hinrich, shooting guard Nick Young, small forward Al Thornton, power forward Kaiming Li, center Blatche.
Orlando Magic, point guard Gilbert Arenas, shooting guard Vince Carter, small forward Quentin Richardson, power forward Ryan Anderson, center Dwight Howard.
The referee on duty walked to the center circle of the court, stood between Howard and Blatche, and then threw the ball into the air with one hand.
Howard stood on the opposite side and shot the ball directly into Arenas' hands!
The fans at the McI Center were also very cooperative. As soon as Arenas got the ball, he was greeted with boos from the sky!
Although Arenas is a figure that cannot be erased in the history of the Wizards, since he has fallen out with the team and been traded, the home fans will naturally not give him face!
As if Arenas didn't hear the tsunami of boos, he steadily moved the ball to the frontcourt.
Howard stepped up to cover, and Arenas directly used the screen to get inside, then faced Li Kaiming's defense and threw the ball into the sky!
After the pick-and-roll, Howard stepped on the edge of the penalty area and took off. After catching the ball with one hand in the air, he flipped his wrist and dunked the ball into the basket!
After dunking, Howard opened his mouth and roared, clamped his arms in front of his chest, and his huge chest muscles and deltoid muscles immediately swelled, making him look like a Super Saiyan!
Howard hit a powerful dunk as soon as he came up, and the boos in the MCI Center immediately became much quieter.
Blatche served from the baseline, and Hinrich dribbled to the frontcourt.
Arenas' defense was particularly serious tonight, and Hinrich had to ask Li Kaiming to cover. The Magic's starting lineup only had one defensive weakness, Ryan Anderson, and the rest were not easy to play.
After Hinrich faced off against Anderson, he hesitated to get rid of the latter and rushed inside. Then he faced Howard who was defending and made a high throw!
Howard's defense is famous. Hinrich deliberately raised the arc when throwing, but even so, he was still touched by Howard's fingertips.
The rebound was picked up by Ryan Anderson on the side and handed to Arenas to dribble to the frontcourt. The Wizards had just set up their defensive posture. Arenas dribbled the ball outside the three-point line to find a rhythm, and then suddenly faced Hinrich. Pull out your hand!
This is Arenas' playing style. Everyone thinks he is going to use tactics, but he can give you a sudden cold arrow!
Arenas' three-pointer drew a parabola in the air, and then fell into the basket with a swoosh!
The voice in the mcI center suddenly became quiet.
In the commentary box, the older commentator Hayward saw this scene and said to Rose next to him, "Arenas was in a very hot state tonight. He came up with an assist and a three-pointer. The Magic's 5 Everything has something to do with him!"
"Li Kaiming shouldn't just watch Arenas act wild in his home court!" Rose said with a smile.
Hayward also nodded. Although Li Kaiming has not been in the league for a long time, most commentators understand that this guy has a very strong sense of territory.
As expected, in the Wizards' second offense, Li Kaiming took the basketball directly from Hinrich's hands after arriving in the frontcourt.
The two commentators looked at each other and smiled, showing that this was indeed the case.
The fans at the scene were also paying close attention to the situation on the court. Li Kaiming's every move was under the attention of tens of thousands of fans.
They all wanted to see how Li Kaiming, the owner of the stadium, would respond to Arenas's attack.
And just when the same thought appeared in the hearts of the audience, Li Kaiming in the audience finally took action...
