As he was driving halfway, Arenas felt it difficult to get close to the basket, so he prepared to stop for a mid-range shot.
But Roger didn't give him any space, blocking the ball the moment Arenas jumped!
Mike Breen shrugged his shoulders: "Too easy, this possession was without suspense. If Gilbert keeps playing like this, he probably won't score a single point."
During his peak, Arenas was actually a tank guard. As a 191 cm tall guard, he was heavier than prime Wade.
He used large directional changes and a strong upper body to create space, making it convenient for him to drive or shoot.
But now, as a sophomore, Arenas isn't as strong, and against Roger, his physical play seems too weak, so his advantages aren't coming out.
The Warriors launched a fast break, and with Stephen Jackson's seven-second offense instinct, he was already running as soon as Roger blocked, easily finishing with a slam dunk.
