The Wizards' Israeli rookie, who did not stand out in the win over Houston, managed to steal the show with a puzzling decision-making in the closing seconds • The king of the baskets was furious, and also on the network mocked: "Let's enjoy the historic moment of Abdia.
Danny Abdia.
Curious decision-making

The Washington Wizards put together two wins this morning (Tuesday) for the first time this season with 119: 131 at the expense of Houston and ex John Wall, who finished with 29 points and 11 assists, but that was not enough for the Rockets, who suffered a sixth straight loss.
Danny Abdia, again, was unable to enter the Washington team, but the Israeli rookie at least managed to finish the game with 5 points and 3 rebounds in 20 minutes from the bench.
At the end, coach Steve Brooks concluded: "I think it was a good win. We are at 5-5 in the last ten games which is pretty solid after what we went through. We should not get down on ourselves in the difficult moments and not get too excited after the wins. We have won twice in a row - no Big deal".
it finally happened.
after years of tracking final second buzzer grenades, the first time i've ever seen a player refuse to touch it and let the ball go out of bounds.
please enjoy this historic moment by Deni Advija.

Despite the marginal part of Abdia in the second victory in a row, the US once again managed to focus on the Israeli Brooke, who was an active partner for a particularly bizarre moment in the closing seconds. While he was due to finish the match, the ball was in the hands of Roy Hachimura. But Abdia signaled to him that he wanted the ball, Hachimura listened and delivered and Abdia in an incomprehensible move, let the ball go out, perhaps because of the desire not to register for his duty a ball loss in statistics.
And that's not the end of the story.
With less than two seconds left on the clock, Abdia performed uncommittedly and sent Houston to the line.
The one who really didn't like Danny's decision-making was Bradley Bill, who just wanted to end the game and after Abdia dared to argue with the referee, the king of the baskets called out to him: "Shut up already. Stupid offense."
After those events, Rob Perez, one of the bloggers in the league, tweeted with quite a bit of cynicism: "This is the first time I see a player refuse to touch the ball and let him go out. Come and enjoy this historic moment of Danny Abdia."
He just asked for the ball, and just let it out.
I do not believe".
