According to the latest reports in the United States, Washington offered Phoenix Roy Hachimura in exchange for Jae Crowder, but the Suns refused and wanted Danny Abadia instead. Tonight (Wednesday-Thursday) when these two teams met at the Capital One Arena, Hachimura had his say on the matter – without saying a word.
Hachimura delivered his best game in the NBA, when he tied his career high (30 points) after leading a 102:127 victory with 14 points in the last quarter. The Japanese forward finished the match with 11 of 13 from the field. In the two previous victories against Sacramento and Philadelphia, he scored 21 and 14 points respectively, and in his last four games, which came after over a month out due to injury, Hachimura is 28 of 42 from the field (67%).
This season Washington’s most popular top five (Monte Morris, Bradley Beal, Danny Abadia, Kyle Kuzma and Kristaps Porzingis) is scoring 13 points more than its opponents per 100 possessions, while the bench this season is scoring 2.1 points less than its opponents per 100 possessions. And this is where Hachimura comes into the picture.
“Roy’s return contributes significantly to us,” he said Kuzma At the end, “he always looks for the ring and tries to score.” Another player who gets a lot of credit in the US capital is the replacement guard Delon Wright, who adds a lot to the defense (he won the belt of the outstanding guard of his team tonight). The Wizards have a record of 1:6 with Wright and 20:8 without him, and a record of 5:14 with Hatch Yemora compared to 13:3 without him.
In the meantime, the Washington broadcast team touched on the three-point streak of Avdia, who recorded 8 points and 7 rebounds in the game in 27 minutes. The young Israeli counts 9 consecutive games with at least one three-pointer, the second longest streak of his career (11 at the end of last season).
