When you throw the ball to the oth Antworten

The Washington Wizards and Orlando Magic will look for more from their budding stars when they meet in Orlando on Friday.For Washington, Bradley Beals career has been something of a bumpy road. Injuries have derailed his career at various points in the past four seasons. He has played 70 games in a season just once in his career.Despite all that, Beal has one of the best shots in the league, making 39.5 percent of his 3-pointers in his career. He was seemingly the best complement to John Wall, helping the Washington Wizards get within two games from the Eastern Conference Finals in 2015.Last year, Beals scoring has been up. He averaged 17.4 points per game. But he could not outrun his narrative -- he played in only 55 games thanks to a stress reaction in his lower right leg that kept him out intermittently in 2016.This season, Beal missed three games already with hamstring tightness. And with his history of injury, the Wizards stayed cautious. It seemed the Wizards could not get themselves on the same page -- with Wall also missing games this season after surgery on both his knees this offseason.The guinea pig has learned to be smart in terms of taking care of my body, Beal told Candace Buckner of The Washington Post. A few times I wanted to come back a little bit earlier from it but I just took my time with my hamstring. The biggest thing is just learning from previous injuries and just learning from past mistakes, and if you come back earlier, the risk youre taking with possibly missing more games.Since Beals return, he has played like the star player the Wizards invested a five-year, $128-million contract in. That culminated in his career-high 42-point performance against the Phoenix Suns on Monday.It feels very much like Beal is back after fighting off so many injuries throughout his career.The Wizards have gotten the most from Beal. He is averaging 20.2 points per game and shooting 42.5 percent from the floor.At 4-9, Washington will need more from its potential star, much the same way the Orlando Magic need a bit more from Nikola Vucevic.Vucevic is the teams leading scorer for the past several years as the Magic tried to climb out of the basement and into the playoffs. With all the changes the Magic have made this season, no one has struggled to adjust more than Vucevic.Vucevic is averaging 11.4 points per game, his lowest since his rookie year when he was a little-used reserve player. His rebounds are up to 11.0 per game, but Vucevics value has always been on the offensive end. So his career-low 43.1 percent shooting is a bit alarming for a team that relies on him to anchor an offense.Wednesdays loss to the Phoenix Suns was a bit of a hopeful turn. He scored 21 points on 10-for-15 shooting. It was just his third 20-point game in 15 games this season and just the seventh game shooting better than 50 percent from the floor.Vucevics struggles have been emblematic of the Magics overall offensive struggles.Weve got to get comfortable with each other where things become automatic, Vucevic said before Wednesdays game. I think in Milwaukee we had more plays where we made the right play and found the open guy and made the extra pass. We just have to do that over and over. And then I have to make shots at some point this season. I think that will help a lot as well.Getting Vucevic to play better offensively and, quite simply, make shots is critical for the Magic to back up their improving defense. They have held six of their past seven opponents to fewer than 95 points. But Orlando has scored at least 95 points just once in that span.For both the Magic and the Wizards, getting these two key players on the court and on track offensively will help both climb their way into the Eastern Conference playoff picture.

STORRS, Conn. -- No. 2 UConn was expected to be tested against No. 15 DePaul, the first of five ranked teams it will face this month.It quickly became clear that the Huskies had all the answers Thursday night.Kia Nurse scored a career-high 33 points and UConn routed the Blue Demons 91-46 for its 81st straight victory.Napheesa Collier added 18 points, and Katie Lou Samuelson had 16.Kelly Campbell had 10 points to lead DePaul (5-2).The Blue Demons missed their first eight shots and were held to a single free throw for nearly 6 minutes to start the game. UConn (6-0), which has won 53 straight at home, hit its first nine shots, most of them on the break, and jumped out to a 22-1 lead.By the end of the quarter, UConn led 37-6.We played with a little bit more of a purpose defensively and that got us off and running, coach Geno Auriemma said. We created a lot of easy shots for ourselves.Nurse, who hadnt scored more than 15 points this season, made three quick layups and had 19 points after 10 minutes. She hit 12 of her 16 shots, including her first nine and was 6 of 9 from 3-point range.She didnt miss until a corner 3-pointer at the halftime buzzer, when she had already eclipsed her previous career high with 24 points.I came into this game and said I was going to do the little things that I was good at and running the floor is one of those things, Nurse said. To get out in transition and have that work out the first couple of shots was pretty cool.UConn was 15 of 19 from the floor in the first quarter, while holding. DePaul to just 2 of 14. UConn also had a 20-0 advantage in the paint and 16 fast-break points.The Huskies went into halftime leading 53-19 and pushed that to 80-30 after the third quarter.UConn made 59.3 percent of its shots and held DePaul to just 25 percent shooting.THE BIG PICTUREUConn: UConn coach Geno Auriemma has said he hopes someone gives his team a wake-up call to show them that winning isnt as easy as they think. The Huskies face four more ranked opponents before the end of the month that might be able to do that, including No. 14 Texas on Sunday and No. 1 Notre Dame three days later. UConn also plays No. 9 Ohio State and No. 5 Maryland before January.Theres no guarantee like the past couple years that, yeah we got this, Auriemma said. Its a wait and see. Its a process. I just dont want to take any steps back. I dont know how many steps forward were going to take. I just dont want to take any steps back.DePaul: The Blue Demons made just 17 of 68 shots and made seveen of their 40 shots from behind the arc.dddddddddddd. They came into the game making just under 39 percent from 3-point range, and were averaging a nations best 13.5 3-pointers a game.This was DePauls third straight game against a ranked team. They lost to No. 5 Baylor 104-72 and beat No. 11 Syracuse, a game in which they hit 19 3-pointers.College basketball really is cruel and its cool, DePaul coach Doug Bruon said. When you throw the ball to the other team and give up breakaway layups like we did tonight its pretty cruel, especially against good players. Its also cool because you get a chance to come back pretty quickly, and Ive seen teams throughout my many years, six, seven, eight days later, you dont even know its the same team. We really are going to be better for what happened tonight than for not having played tonight.POLL IMPLICATIONSShould they have a similarly impressive win Sunday against No. 14 Texas, UConn may pick up a few more first-place votes going into the Dec. 7 showdown with top-ranked Notre Dame in South BendBREAKING GOODUConns perimeter defense led to 24 DePaul turnovers and sparked the Huskies transition game.
