WASHINGTON -- Washingtons Bradley Beal understands the expectations that come with signing a five-year, $128 million contract.The Wizards guard rattled off a list of responsibilities during a press conference on Wednesday, one day after officially re-signing with Washington.They made a commitment to me... making me a max player, said Beal, flanked by Wizards owner Ted Leonsis, team president Ernie Grunfeld and coach Scott Brooks.Those responsibilities include being a leader of the team, being a great guy in the community. ... and being a better teammate.The No. 3 overall draft pick out of Florida in 2012, Beal averaged 17.4 points in 55 games last season for the Wizards, who finished 41-41. Hes a career 40 percent 3-point shooter.But Beals been hampered by injuries, including stress fractures in his right leg.I know ... you guys are probably thinking, can a 23-year-old handle? he said. The answer is yes I can. Im going to continue to prove it.Thats the hope of the organization after making the wing guard the highest-paid player on the team and the Wizards missed the playoffs last season.Its a great day for the organization, for Bradley and his family, Leonsis said. As weve mentioned, to those who much is given, much is expected. Bradley has such maturity and handles pressure with such grace that we know hell be able to take this and have it motivate him. ...We have big aspirations.Any postseason and title-contending goals start with Washingtons backcourt.Point guard John Wall is a three-time All-Star. At times in his four-year career, Beal played at that level, including the 2015 postseason when the Wizards competed in the Eastern Conference semifinals for a stretch with Wall watching because of a broken hand.Yet Beals injuries lead to questions about whether this duo can reach expectations.Beal has never played more than 73 games in any season, missing 81 of a possible 328 over his four years. Several injuries occurred during that time, with the stress fractures in his leg the most constant pest.We have so much more information now than we had two or three years ago, Grunfeld said. We feel like we know what we need to do.Beal skipped a chance to play in the Olympic in part to ensure achieving his physical training and rehab with the Wizards.This is probably the best offseason Ive had in terms of being committed to focusing on my body and my game, period, he said.Since his hiring by the Wizards in April, Brooks focus has been on how to help get the Wizards back into the playoffs. Re-signing Beal, whose jump shot Brooks described as flawless, will help with the planning.I just keep telling myself hes 23, said the former Oklahoma City coach. He seems like he has that old soul about him. You understand why the players -- not just on our team but around the league -- respect him because he brings it every night.A comment from the owner highlighted the notion of Beals youth.Looks like Bradley grew a little bit this offseason, Leonsis said.About an inch, Beal responded.Going forward, the Wizards are hoping Beals game grows as well.Adidas NMD R1 Dam Rea .

Gabon international Aubameyang -- a 13 million-euro ($17 million) off-season signing from French side Saint-Etienne -- opened the scoring in the 24th minute, made the game safe in the 66th, and added another in the 79th before Robert Lewandowski scored from a penalty kick with four minutes remaining. "We got great goals and finished the game with confidence. Not many win 4-0 here. That makes me proud," Dortmund coach Juergen Klopp said. Hertha Berlin celebrated its return to the Bundesliga with a 6-1 rout of visiting Eintracht Frankfurt, thanks to two goals each from Adrian Ramos and Sami Allagui and one each from Ronny and German-American defender John Anthony Brooks. Bayer Leverkusen won 3-1 at home over Freiburg, Hannover beat nine-man Wolfsburg 2-0 at home, and Nuremberg drew 2-2 at Hoffenheim. Zlatko Junuzovics late strike gave Werder Bremen a 1-0 win at Eintracht Braunschweig in the late game, denying the home side a winning return to the Bundesliga after 28 years. "Something was missing for 28 years," proclaimed a large banner before kickoff, but the closest Braunschweig came to scoring was in the 64th, when Ken Reichels shot crashed off the crossbar. Bremen keeper Sebastian Mielitz just got his fingertips to the ball. Junuzovic scored in the 82nd, lifting the ball over the goalkeeper against the run of play. Braunschweigs hopes of an equalizer were dashed when Jan Hochscheidts shot was blocked on the line in the 88th. "We created enough chances in the second half. Its just a shame we couldnt make more of them," said Braunschweig captain Dennis Kruppke. The 24-year-old Aubameyang became only the sixth player in the Bundesliga to score a hat trick on his debut. He beat a defender to meet Marcel Schmelzers cross with a header beyond the helpless Augsburg keeper. Marco Reus set up his second, which Aubameyang curled around the goalkeeper inside the far post. Aubameyang rounded the goalkeeper for his third, tucking the ball into the empty net, after Lewandowski had played the ball into his path. "Aubameyang was put to great use today. Im not surprised about what he offers, but that all the balls go in already. Its a very good start," Klopp said. Lewandowski added a fourth with an emphatic penalty, after Jonas Hofmann waas fouled in the area.dddddddddddd Despite the scoreline, Dortmund found it hard to break down the stubborn home side. Augsburg might have equalized in the first half but for a goal-line clearance from Sven Bender, while reserve goalkeeper Mitch Langerak pulled off a great save from Raphael Holzhauser. Langerak maintained his record of 11 wins from 11 competitive games for Dortmund. "Of course were disappointed. We imagined and hoped for it to go a little differently," said Augsburg coach Markus Weinzierl. "Our mistakes were punished ruthlessly." Ramos scored Herthas first goal back in the Bundesliga following a well-worked counterattack in the 18th, and Brooks made it 2-0 by shooting through a host of players in the 32nd. Alexander Meier pulled one back from the penalty spot five minutes later, but Allagui scored twice in as many minutes to decide the game with half an hour remaining, before Ramos and then Ronny completed the rout. "The performance was sensational. Now we have the first three points, we can enjoy the game a little bit. But well be back in everyday life very quickly. We can still improve," Hertha coach Jos Luhukay said. It was the first time since December 2004 that Hertha scored six goals in a Bundesliga game. The home side also hit the crossbar three times in the first half. "Its hard for me to analyze such a game," Frankfurt coach Armin Veh said. Freiburg striker Mike Hanke cancelled out Stefan Kiesslings opening goal for Leverkusen, but Son Heung-min scored his first Bundesliga goal for Leverkusen just after the break and Sidney Sam secured the win in the 52nd. Leon Andreasen and Szabolcs Huszti scored for Hannover, either side of the sendings off of Maximilian Arnold and Timm Klose for Wolfsburg. Mike Frantz and Daniel Ginczek drew Nuremberg level at Hoffenheim, which had gone ahead through David Abraham and Anthony Modeste. The home side was left to rue a goal that wasnt given in first half injury time, when the ball came back out over the line due to the spin from Kevin Vollands lob over the goalkeeper. "Its annoying that such a goal was stolen but I dont want to accuse anyone. Its hard for the linesman to see. It was hard for me to see," Volland said. Referee Thorsten Kinhoefer said the match officials realized the mistake at halftime. "Where people judge, mistakes happen. Its very annoying that we made this mistake today," Kinhoefer said. ' ' '
