The NBA regular season continues, with the East and West facing a strong and weak dialogue, and the Lone Ranger travels to the away game to challenge the Wizards.
The Wizards have gone high and low this season, from the big dark horse in the East to one of the current fish belly teams, ranking twelfth in the East with only 33 wins and 43 losses before the game, and have confirmed that they have not made the playoffs, with 4 wins and 6 losses in the past 10 games, and they have not won a game against a strong team.
The Lone Rangers have maintained a good competitiveness, surpassing the Warriors before the game, rising to third in the West, and recently beating the Jazz, Lakers and Cavaliers to win three consecutive wins, but the team is still too dependent on Doncic's personal play and lacks other stable scoring points.
Although it is a strong and weak dialogue, because the Wizards and the Lone Ranger completed the transaction before the trade deadline and completed the 2-for-2 swap between Dinwiddie and Bo Shen, it naturally made this battle very topical.
Before the game, Bo Shen also interacted closely with his fellow Bertans, and before the game began, he hugged and greeted Doncic, which was a disguised response to rumors about the discord between the two.
After that, the two teams opened a formal fight, and Pope scored 5 consecutive points to help the Wizards who played at home to the top and play a perfect start 5-0.
The Wizards then kept a firm grip on the Lone Rangers, and with 1.5 minutes left in the first quarter, they stretched the gap to double digits and ended the first quarter with 11 points with two free throws at the end of the quarter.
In the second quarter, the Lone Rangers continued to exert their strength, and at one point at the beginning of the quarter, the point difference was pulled to close to 20 points, which made the Lone Rangers feel bad, and finally found the rhythm and began to form a confrontation with the Wizards.
Unfortunately, the Lone Rangers could not limit the Wizards' scoring, and the point difference remained around 15 points, and at the end of the half, the Wizards held a 14-point lead.
Yi Bian fought again, and the Wizards once again exerted their strength at the beginning of the section, successfully widening the point difference to 20 points, and at one point to 25 points.
Fortunately, in the second half of the quarter, the Lone Ranger found his touch and continued to chase the point difference, and after three quarters of battle, the Lone Ranger forced the point difference to 16 points.
Entering the final quarter of the scramble, the Wizards once again exerted their strength at the beginning of the quarter, re-widening the point difference to 20 points, this time the Lone Ranger failed to narrow the point difference again, and finally the Wizards who played at home defeated the Lone Ranger 135-103.
Throughout the game, the Wizards hardly gave the Lone Rangers the slightest chance and kept pressing the other side to play.
Among them, Bo Shen faced the old club, the whole game performance desire is extremely strong, playing 30 minutes, 8 of 18 shots, handing over 24 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, 1 block and 0 mistakes of perfect data.
This is also the epitome of Bo Shen's overall proud performance after completing the 2-for-2 transaction and being sent to the Wizards, from the current point of view, he is also the biggest winner in the 2-for-2 deal between the Lone Ranger and the Wizards.
In addition to Bo Shen, Pop's performance is more eye-catching, as a lakers veteran, the whole game played 34 minutes, 13 of 19 shooting, handed over 35 points and 4 rebounds.
In addition, Yamura blasted down 21 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, Ismail 12 points and 9 assists, Avdia 14 points, and Gil 10 points and 5 rebounds.
The Wizards' performance up and down also made the Warriors profitable, and due to the Lone Ranger's loss, the Warriors temporarily returned to the third position in the West.
On the other hand, the Lone Rangers, Doncic continued the hot state, handing over 36 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, and Brunson was also remarkable, with 21 points and 5 rebounds.
Helplessly, except for the two, the Lone Ranger has no one to score in double figures, of which as the core figure of the 2-for-2 trade, Dinwiddie only scored 8 points on 2-of-6 shooting.
The lack of stable scoring points is also a problem that the Lone Ranger has been suffering from this season, and it is very likely to affect how far the Ultimate Lone Ranger can go in the playoffs.
