On December 24, Beijing time, the Wizards will go to the away game to challenge the Knicks, and before this game, the team came with bad news, the star Bradley Beal triggered the health and safety agreement, will miss the game, at the same time, he needs to provide two tests within 24 hours of normal results, otherwise it will be suspended for at least 10 days, if the new regulations reached by the league and the players' union take effect, it will only need to be suspended for 6 days. In view of the current grim situation, Beal's teammate Kuzma hinted at his emphasis on personal protection by "fully arming" himself before entering the game.
From the Wizards' official photo of Kuzma's entry, it can be seen that Kuzma is wearing a fluorescent green coat and wearing a hood on his head, which tightly wraps his entire head, which is matched with a pair of goggles to ensure that he can see things. It can even be said that if you don't guess from the shape of the body, it is really difficult to see who this person really is.
The Wizards official also accompanied two photos of his entry and posted a joke: "We are 98% sure that this person is Kuzma, but there is no way to be completely sure." The U.S. media NBC account that specializes in reporting the Wizards' news forwarded the tweet and wrote: Kuzma has activated alien mode.
Kuzma's outfit, especially this hood, is indeed very much like an alien. Although this may seem like a joke about Kuzma, in this game, Beal can't play, the Wizards are back in starless mode, and if they want to win, kuzma and other teammates really need to activate "alien mode".
The Wizards were in the top two in the East at the beginning of the season, and during Beal's absence, the team performed very well, from Kuzma to Harrell and others, who had a bright performance on both offensive and defensive ends, and also played a multi-point blossoming team offense on the offensive end, helping the Wizards win a lot of games. But after Beal's comeback, the team returned to the star style of play, the balance on the offensive end was broken, and the team also lost a lot of goals, and currently fell to sixth place in the East. Previously, the Wizards reporter revealed that a number of Wizards players expressed concern about the direction and structure of the team's offensive end. Harrell said: "We don't want to take the ball and single it ourselves, but we also want to be more involved in the attack, rather than grabbing the rebound and handing the ball to the defender.
Harrell's remarks pointed directly at Beal, because Beal's return with the ball affected the team's team attack. Now, With Beal absent again, Kuzma and Harrell, including other role players, have another chance and are expected to re-find the system in which everyone was involved in the attack.
