On the 18th, the Wizards faced the Grizzlies, the underdog that ranked last in the Western Conference, at home.

This Grizzlies team is much more unlucky than Yang Rui's previous life. Mike Bibby was sent to the Rockets, and Baron Davis played well. The problem of overlapping point guards has been solved, but they just played one game in the new season. Davis injured his knee and will be out for about two months.

Because the backup point guard's defense was too poor, Grizzlies coach Hubie Brown was unable to lead the team to win.

In this game, Yang Rui decisively arranged tactics to help Jordan improve statistics. At this time, Shane Battier was just a rookie and came off the bench. The Grizzlies started with a big man lineup, Gasol, Gooden, and Lorenzen White. Everyone comes together.

Gasol plays a small forward. At this time, he is light, fast, and has very comprehensive skills. He can indeed play as a small forward.

The two games the Grizzlies won this season were all due to Gasol's outstanding performance, but letting Gasol play against Jordan was too forced and a mismatch. The Wizards easily took the lead in the opening quarter. Jordan scored 15 points in a single quarter and made two three-pointers.

After that, Jordan also played very easily, playing 30 minutes, making 14 of 23 shots, 2 of 3 three-pointers, 3 of 3 free throws, and scored 33 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists.

If the substitutes weren't so powerful and the team led by 30 points early, Jordan would have easily scored 40+ in this game. The Wizards won 128-100.

On the 21st, the Wizards challenged the Spurs away from home, and the players still showed no mercy, winning their fourth consecutive victory 101-92.

Bruce Bowen's defensive ability is even better than when he was in the Knicks. He performed well in defending Jordan and reduced Jordan's shooting percentage. It's a pity that the Spurs' substitutes were so bad, they only scored 12 points in total, led by the Raptors' original veteran center Kevin Willis and Trail Blazers veteran Steve Smith.

The two veterans have rich experience but poor confrontation ability. On the defensive end, they suffered a big loss against the super powerful Maggette and the unparalleled jumping Stoudemire. Point guard backup Steve Kerr is also old and unable to guard against Alston's breakthrough.

The Wizards couldn't beat the Spurs in the starting lineup, but they could still win with a huge 41-12 advantage on the bench.

On the 23rd, the Wizards continued their trip to Texas and lost to the Mavericks 99-100 in overtime, ending their winning streak.

The Wizards still led by 2 points in the last half minute. LaFrentz hit a key three-pointer at 11.2 seconds to take the lead. Then Jordan attracted defensive points and Hamilton missed the chance to win.

The Wizards were able to have a tough game against the Mavericks because of the zone defense, and they ultimately lost because of the zone defense. If the formation is too tight, it will be easily defeated when encountering a big man who can shoot.

As for the Mavericks, both starters have shooting range.

The losing media did not say bad things about the Wizards, nor did they say that Jordan was a lone player. They had come out of the slump, surpassing the Knicks with a record of 19 wins and 8 losses, and ranking third in the Eastern Conference.

The Mavericks have only lost four games so far, ranking first in the league and becoming the favorite to win the championship. Nash, Finley, and Nowitzki form an offensive trident. No. 2 Adrian Griffin is a good defensive blue collar. Center LaFrentz can open up space offensively. On the defensive end, he can be a human shield and help block shots. .

The weakness of the Mavericks is that the substitutes are too poor. The outside is led by "Crazy" Van Exel. Alston was beaten randomly. He made 1 of 7 shots in 23 minutes and only scored 2 points.

The inside substitute is "Big Bamboo Rod" Sean Bradley, who is 229cm tall and weighs only 107kg. His defense against pick-and-rolls is extremely poor, and his offense is unreliable. He relies entirely on his height advantage to score.

Yang Rui believes that the best substitute for the Mavericks is Najera, who is active in defense and has excellent rebounding.

If the Mavericks management had a better vision for signings, they would have been able to win the championship from 2002-2007.

The Wizards were also scheduled to play a Christmas Day game, and their opponent was the Nets, the powerhouse in the Eastern Conference.

It was a special day in New York this time. Yang Rui wanted to ask Scarlett Johansson to come out and meet him, thinking that Scarlett would also be happy to contact him. As a result, Scarlett refused to meet, saying that she had something to do at home and couldn't go out.

After a while, Hunter called and said: "Scarlett's movie glasses failed again and she is still gaining weight. She has been very irritable recently, so it is not convenient to see you."

Yang Rui sweated: "How much does she weigh now?"

"Almost 90 kilograms. We suspect she is obese. Now my mother doesn't know what to do." Hunter sighed.

"So serious?" Yang Rui's head was sweating like Fang Shiyu who kissed the nun.

Now he is not just making a mistake, it is a big BUG that has created history. He simply couldn't imagine what Scarlett looked like with a height of 160cm and a weight of 90kg.

The famous Chinese singer Han Hong is 152cm tall and weighs only 76kg. She is completely incomparable to the "fat celebrities" in Hollywood.

In the future, there will be a Spanish artist named David who likes to photoshop female celebrities into fat people. He has photoshopped the likes of Fruit Sister, Big Cousin, Emma Watson, Scarlett, etc. Scarlett is almost like that now.

"Not only is she fat, she is very stressed, she also smokes and is very addicted to cigarettes."

Yang Rui took a deep breath and asked, "Do you want me to persuade her?"

Hunter said hurriedly: "No, she doesn't want you to see how she looks now. She won't be filming the next season of the reality show. She has to work hard to lose weight. When she loses some weight, you can see her again."

"Okay, if you need my help, just call. Let her relax and don't be depressed. I will only help her and won't laugh at her."

After chatting for a few more words and hanging up the phone, Yang Rui was feeling extremely stressed.

Scarlett rarely chats online recently, and Yang Rui suspects that if she continues to degenerate like this, she may not be smoking, but taking drugs instead. And the reason for all this is that he came up with a crappy reality show about eating, drinking and having fun. If Scarlett had always aimed to make movies, she would definitely have paid attention to a healthy diet and wouldn't be in such a state now.

However, Yang Rui is not good at losing weight either. He still has to lead the team to play games, so he can't help Scarlett for the time being. He can only wait until the end of the season to find Scarlett to find a remedy.

In the Christmas game tonight, Kittles and Mutombo are absent due to injuries, which is a good opportunity for the Wizards to win.

In the first quarter, the Nets had the upper hand. Under Kidd's organization, the offense was very smooth. The Wizards mainly relied on Jordan to single out Stephen Jackson in the low post, but their shooting percentage was not high.

Since last season, the two sides have faced each other several times, and Jackson has done a good job defending Jordan. He can resist people without losing position, and uses his height and wingspan to interfere.

The second quarter became the Wizards' performance time. Stoudemire, Maggette, and Wallace all performed dunks, Alston also made a three-pointer, and Hamilton scored two mid-range shots.

The Wizards went on to overtake the score, but with 3 minutes left in the quarter, something unfortunate happened. During the counterattack, Maggette took the ball and rushed inside with his head lowered. He was tripped by Aaron Williams and fell to the ground, hurting his knee.

After the team doctor checked, Maggette returned directly to the locker room.

The Wizards are missing an important attacker. Although Wallace has a strong impact, his mid-to-long-range shooting is too poor and his ability to break through with the ball is average. He cannot replace Maggette's role. He is strong in defense and weak in offense.

The two sides were in a stalemate until the last moment to decide the winner. Hamilton missed the key shot and missed the basket. The Nets made the last attack and patiently looked for opportunities. Facing Wesley's defense, Kidd used his height advantage to score a priceless three-pointer to help the team take the lead.

The Wizards had a last chance to attack with 3.7 seconds. Marshall's three-pointer missed the basket due to Martin's interference. 101 to 104, the Wizards lost the Christmas Day game.
