NBA: Start the water cooler and reach the Hall of Fame

After the end of the generally hot summer league, the head coach of the Wizards gave the rookies a few days off to let them have a good rest after the summer league.

After the holidays, when the veterans of the team return from their holidays, it is time to gather the players to start training together.

Because Li Kaiming was selected in the new season, and the management decided to make Li Kaiming the inside core of the Wizards long before the draft, so there must be relatively large adjustments in the lineup and changes in the style of play.

There is still one and a half months before the preseason, and there is not much time left for coach Philip Saunders.

And Li Kaiming took advantage of this rare opportunity to start devil training with Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian.

Originally, Yi Jianlian didn't quite believe what Sun Yue said, but training with Li Kaiming made rapid progress.

Because this season is his third season in the NBA, that is to say, he has been in the American system for almost three years. In addition to the visible improvement in confrontation intensity, his technical level has also improved. Not big.

But as soon as he trained with Li Kaiming, Yi Jianlian called it really fragrant!

For this reason, the latter directly said to Li Kaiming, "Even if you don't play in the NBA and become a trainer, you can still earn a lot of money!"

Li Kaiming's eyes are very vicious, he can see Yi Jianlian's shortcomings almost at a glance, and he can give the best solution in a short period of time, even Yi Jianlian has to admire.

Under the leadership of Li Kaiming, Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian are becoming stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye...

Of course, besides helping the two compatriots improve, Li Kaiming did not forget to improve his own strength.

After Xialian finished playing, he had accumulated a full 33 free attribute points, 8 badge upgrade times, and 170 points!

It's time for an exciting addition!

This 33 should be used to the maximum extent, and added to the attributes that have the best effect on him.

At present, the attributes related to breakthrough and the basket have basically been improved to the level close to the edge of the All-Star, and there is no need to improve it for the time being, and the scoring ability outside the penalty area is still a bit lacking.

There are only two types of outside shots, one is mid-range and the other is three-pointers.

His mid-range shooting attribute is currently 55, and his goal is to raise it to 80. There is no need for it to be higher, and the three-pointer is a bit far away, only 40 points, even if all 33 points are thrown in, it is still 7 points away to get to 80.

This is obviously a loss!

So this time Li Kaiming plans to divide the 33 attribute points into two parts, and add 25 attribute points to the CIC, so that the CIC can reach 80, so that he also has a stable scoring method outside the penalty area.

The other 8 points are directly added to the near frame, allowing his near frame throw to reach a terrifying 96!Becoming his first attribute to reach Hall of Fame status.

After adding points twice, his comprehensive evaluation also rose to 68 points, so he successfully unlocked two new badges.

[Tip King] (Bronze): Increase the shooting attributes after grabbing offensive rebounds by 5%.

[Ball Protector] (Bronze): Reduces the opponent's chance of successfully cutting the ball by 5% when laying up.

Nice badge, but for him, 8 badge upgrades should be spent on more urgent badges.

The silver-level [Strong Shot Master] was directly promoted to the epic level by him, and the effect changed from reducing defensive interference by 10% to reducing defensive interference by 50%!

【Tough Basket】It is also directly filled to the epic level, which can increase the probability of scoring against the basket by 10%.

Another time it was added to [Double Shot Master], and the probability of blocking opponents increased by 10%.

You can play without anything, but you can't have fun.

The fans who didn't watch it all ran away, who did you call?

One pass is as fierce as a tiger, and Li Kaiming can be said to be armed to the capillary before the preseason.

At the same time, the training with Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian did not stop. The increased attributes will not make him a master immediately, and he also needs to slowly adapt to the improved attributes.

Therefore, during the hard training of the three of Li Kaiming, half a month passed quickly, and the three of them received the notice of the team's assembly.

Li Kaiming wiped the sweat off his brow, smiled at Sun Yue and Sun Yue, and immediately packed up his things and rushed to the team.

After a period of hard training, they can't wait to prove themselves in team training!

Washington DC, Mic Center Arena.

When Li Kaiming and his group arrived at the training ground, many people had already arrived.

Arenas came early, his eyes lit up when he saw Li Kaiming!

Then I warmly greeted Li Kaiming!

The other veterans in the team were a little surprised. A person like Arenas, who is not convinced by anyone, would give a rookie a good face when they meet?

Except for the coaching staff, no one knew that Arenas had singled out Li Kaiming as early as a month ago!

Arenas is crazy, but in the face of truly powerful people, he still respects them in his heart.

The head coach of the Wizards, Saunders, is a middle-aged man with a bulbous nose, sunken eye sockets and gray hair but a serious face.

This year is the second year he took over the Wizards. Before that, he has served as the head coach of the Timberwolves for 10 years and the head coach of the Pistons for 3 years. It can be said that he has very rich experience.

And during this period, he also led the Timberwolves to the Western Conference Finals for the first time in history. After becoming the Pistons, he led the team with a winning rate of over 60% for three consecutive years!

It can be said that as long as the lineup is not much worse, Sanders' performance in leading the team is still guaranteed.

Seeing that everyone was almost there, Sanders clapped his hands and made all the team members surround him!

"Boys, a new season has begun, and this time we must not leave in disgrace like last season!"

Arenas bowed his head in shame. If he hadn't been suspended for the gun incident, how could the Wizards have fallen to the point of contending for the No. [-] pick.

But misfortune comes with blessings. Although he didn't make it to the playoffs, getting the No. [-] pick Li Kaiming was a kind of compensation.

After Sanders said a lot about the fierce players, he directly divided the players into two groups according to the starters and the substitutes, and was ready to start the match!

A lot of new aid came in the summer, and he needs to observe the performance of these people on the court to formulate tactics and rotation arrangements.

The starting lineup is point guard Arenas, shooting guard Nick Young, small forward Al Thornton, power forward Li Kaiming, and center Andrey Blatche.

The bench lineup includes point guard Kirk Hinrich, shooting guard Lester Hudson, small forward Sun Yue, power forward Yi Jianlian, and center McGee.

Josh Howard is still recovering from his injury and has not come back, so Sun Yue is allowed to take his place.

Because both Blatche and McGee are at the 5th position, their technical characteristics simply cannot play the 4th position, so Li Kaiming had to play the 4th position in the Wizards.

In the starting lineup, the two outside guards have good three-point abilities, especially good at difficult shots.

But the remaining two, except for Li Kaiming, can be said to be two wooden stakes when they leave the penalty area. They can only cover and defend, and the rest just stand and watch the show.

On the contrary, in the substitute lineup, except for McGee who went out of the penalty area and did not shoot, the remaining four offenses have no dead ends, but there are more tactical tricks that can be played.

But no matter how good the technique is, in the face of crushing physical fitness, it is impossible to show the advantages of technique.

As soon as the ball jumped at the beginning, Li Kaiming went straight to the frontcourt, then received a pass from Arenas, and directly dunked with both hands!

It was only at this time that Yi Jianlian deeply realized what it was like to be opposite Li Kaiming. In the blink of an eye, the latter left him behind!

And McGee's experience is deeper. When he was a teammate in the summer league, he didn't fully understand how terrifying Li Kaiming's speed is, but the first ball in the team's training made him feel a deep sense of powerlessness!

How to prevent this?
