Episode 22

Washington is the name of the founding president of the United States and the capital of the United States of America. The first time we heard the name, it should have come from the little story of "Washington Cut Down the Cherry Tree", which taught us to be honest, and it does not matter whether this story is true or not, but the name Washington is destined to be a legend for a lifetime. On April 22, 2021, the U.S. Congress passed a bill establishing Washington, D.C., as the 51st state in the United States. But the new capital, built in 1800, was only the political center of the United States, and did not include the economic center. So the city's team is also doomed not to be like the metropolitan team. It's just a small market team, and sometimes it also welcomes big people. For example, the dressing room prank master and comedian, Gilbert Arenas. Arenas was born in Los Angeles, California, in 1982 to a mother who was an underage girl when he was born to a father who was also a half-grown child. There are countless such things in the United States, and many children are placed in nursing homes as a result. Arenas also spent some time there, but fortunately, his father remembered his life as a child, and the same single-parent family lacked paternal love, and he decided to raise his young son alone. In fact, Arenas' father also had great ambitions, he was a Florida baseball star, but when he entered the University of Miami for further study, he ended his sports career due to a serious leg injury, and later became an actor. I think Arenas also inherited his father's athletic talent and acting talent. Arenas spent his college career in the prestigious Arizona, in the two seasons of college, 70 games averaged 15.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, he also led the team all the way to the NCAA finals, but that year Battier led the Duke Blue Devils were too powerful, and finally could only sigh a bad luck. In the summer of 2001, Arenas entered the NBA draft, but the result did not meet his expectations, and he was selected by the Golden State Warriors with the second pick, but the second pick in the second round. It is said that as soon as the conference ended, Arenas called his college coach and cried bitterly, and then trained madly in the stadium for one night. He told himself never to forget the day. In the Warriors' first season, Arenas played well, and in the second season, he played all 82 games, the only season of his career to play all games. Averaging 18.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.5 steals per game, he is a star player. In 2003, the Washington Wizards offered him a 6-year, 64 million contract, but the Warriors could only give the early Bird right exception, and could not match the contract at all, and could only watch Arenas go. Later, in the 2005 collective agreement, this loophole was fixed in order to protect the rights and interests of the parent team, which is the famous Arenas clause. And Arenas, who was once looked down upon, also began to be recognized by the alliance again. In the seven years of the Washington Wizards, Arenas also completed the transformation from a star to a superstar, especially the earth-shattering battle with the Lakers in 2006, which was the most gorgeous moment in the life of the General. He defeated Bryant and conquered Staples Arena, slashing 60 points to dwarf Kobe, who "scored" only 45 points. Kobe Bryant even gambled on his good luck against the sky, Arenas said in the face of Kobe's evaluation, I am not worse than him. In fact, Arenas and Kobe Bryant are somewhat similar, they both have a paranoid personality and competitive spirit. It's just that the boss's good luck seems to be crooked against the sky, Arenas' good luck is over immediately, the entanglement of injuries has made him lose his superstar status, and the gun-holding matter in the locker room has made him cut himself off. The Great General was quickly replaced by Yuanwall and disappeared from everyone's vision in a very short period of time, and the era of Agent 0 seemed to be short-lived, and it ended quietly.
