Bradley Bill is unimpressed by Danny Abdia's defense: "Does he do special things? Like what?"

The Washington star tries to spur the Israeli rookie to keep better: "He perseveres, but it's a big challenge for him."

Brooks wants him on the pitch in the final minutes of games, but commentators are already pessimistic: "Crazy how the Wizards' assisting team doesn't fit near Westbrook"

After four straight losses at the start of the season, Washington and Danny Abdia continue to look for a debut win, hoping to get it tonight (Thursday-Friday, 0:00, Sports 5), again against Chicago La lost yesterday.

The Wizards 'chain of losses has raised eyebrows in the United States, and Coach Scott Brooks' chair is also reportedly starting to sway.

The coach, who is in his final year on the contract, is considering changes in the top five ahead of the next games, also in light of the return of forward Roy Hachimura, who is due to make his first game of the season tonight.

"There will definitely be changes in the quintet and the line-ups we play with. We are looking at all sorts of options to make a difference," the coach said last night after the team's training.

At the same time, it seems that Brooks is still building on Danny Abdia in the top five - if not the one who opens games, at least the one who closes them.

"Roy Hachimura, Thomas Bryant, Brad, Russell and Danny - it could be a good five to finish games with," said the coach, who saw his team lose three close games due to poor ability in the final quarter.

The reporters covering Washington continue to be optimistic about Abdia's defensive ability, but not everyone shares the view that he is already a legitimate guard in the best league in the world.

Anyone who disagrees with this statement is Bradley Bill.

When the Wizards star was asked last night by one of the reporters about his impression of the "special things Rocky like Abdia does" on the defensive side, Bill said: "Special things like what? I don't know. It will be very good for us, but the game is super fast for him now. "Be patient with him, throw him into the deep water but remember that he is only 19. He has no experience in the NBA. He still does not know the habits of some of the players in the league, still does not know what the players he keeps like or dislike ...".

Bill says Abdia does "hold up, which is great, but the challenges are very big for him. We as a team need to make sure he keeps preparing for every game properly. He's doing a good job so far, but I can not say that his ability to change shots is exceptional at the moment" .

Bill argues that Washington's problem is not a lack of chemistry.

"No one hates his teammate, there is no bad blood between us. This is not the type of situation," he promised.

"I think we're all just angry about the situation, that's all. It's a good thing. We're trying to channel that anger to get better on the pitch."

The national American media have treated Washington extensively in the last day, being defined as the disappointing team of the first week of the season.

Kendrick Perkins told ESPN: "They have no problem on offense right now, but defensively, they are unable to keep even seniors in sheltered housing. They are terrible on the defensive side, and that starts with Westbrook and Bill. Right now, the rivalry is doing against Washington what they want. The Wizards have enough offensive firepower, but they must start saving. "

Brian Windhorst claims Russell Westbrook is the problem, despite his triple-double averages: "Westbrook's numbers aren't bad on paper, but his offensive efficiency is on a parachuting trend. He doesn't score out of color, but takes lots of half-distance shots, doesn't get penalties ... they "Failing to get effective output from Russell Westbrook. This team is under pressure to win immediately, after the trade for Westbrook and when Bradley Bill is in contract. Scott Brooks is starting to get under pressure. The fight for eighth place in the East will be very difficult, and Brooks doesn't have much time or patience."

In The Ringer's NBA podcast, reporter Jonathan Charks claimed that the real problem is the secondary players - including Danny Abdia: "They have no assisting staff near Westbrook and Bill. Especially considering Westbrook's shortcomings, their players are so Not fit next to him, it's just crazy. Their assisting staff is very limited, there is not enough talent there. This is going to be a long and difficult season for the Wizards. Westbrook's basketball is just another basketball, and both the coach and the players next to him have to get used to it. ".
