Beijing time on October 13, the Wizards ushered in the challenge of CBA team Guangzhou Dragon Lions, this game wizards took a turn off from the backcourt double core Wall and Beal, the starting center Dwight Howard is still injured, Jeff Green, the proposed starting big forward, only appeared for 2 minutes, so the Wizards used the second team + third lineup, during which also interspersed with the fourth team players and Guangzhou main players, and finally the Wizards beat Guangzhou 140-111, the Wizards 6 double-double, Devon Robinson 23 points, 6 rebounds and 2 steals, Troy Brown 21 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals, Thomas Bryant 12 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, Porter 11 points, Masimi 11 points and 4 rebounds, Shazon Randall 10 points, 3 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 assists. Although Guangzhou lost the game, they had a super highlight in this battle, suppressing the light of the Wizards.
Maris Speights really made the world shine in this campaign, playing 12 minutes in the first quarter, 6 of 8 three-pointers, 5 of 4 of 5 three-pointers, got 16 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist, and then he continued to shine highlights, and finally the whole game was 39 minutes, 13 of 27, 17 of 3 points, 8 of 8 free throws, 41 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals, becoming the player with the highest score in the game, the highest number of three-point shots, and the little foreign aid Fogg only had 20 points, 6 assists and 3 rebounds, which could not be compared with Speights' performance in this campaign. And Fogg is only 7 of 23, and the shooting rate is not as good as That of Spetts, and Speights, a big foreign aid, is really too anti-heavenly.
The Wizards used five interior rotations, Jeff Green only played 2 minutes to count, these 5 interior lines are Morris, Masimmi, Thomas Bryant, Lavoy Allen, Jason Smith, these 5 people are not as good as Speights alone, Masinmi started center 11 points and 4 rebounds; Morris 11 points and 1 rebound; Thomas Bryant 12 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block; Lavoy Allen 10 points and 5 rebounds; Jason Smith 2 points and 3 rebounds, These 5 people only scored 49 points and 20 rebounds, while Speights alone scored 41 points and 8 rebounds, and Speights alone offset the data of the other 5 inside linemen.
Speights joined Guangzhou this summer on a 1-year, $2 million contract, after he joined Guangzhou, many media are not optimistic about him, and his performance in the preseason is also good and bad, in the Game of October 4 he only scored 15 points and 10 rebounds, his outside playing style made fans call it very soft, last season he appeared in 52 games with the Magic, averaging 7.7 points, 2.6 rebounds and 0.8 assists per game, shooting 40% from the field and shooting 37% from three-point range, his form is not bad, but because he is an inside player, He doesn't like physical contact, and he is getting more and more outside, and his athletic talent is not outstanding, so no team is willing to sign him, and now that he shines in the CBA, he has a chance to return to the NBA.
Speights is only 31 years old this year, 208 cm tall he played a substitute big forward in the NBA is no problem, he is also the Warriors 15 championship hero, his three-point ability is more and more stable, and now he is leading CBA players in the NBA arena to make the Wizards more NBA players are disgraced, which will inevitably make the teams interested in him again, after Speights executed this contract, as long as Guangzhou did not enter the playoffs, Speights has the opportunity to return to the NBA, he is still in the peak period, Playing off the bench averaged 15-20 minutes per game should be no problem.
