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

The rewards for this b-level mission are not bad. Although the points are the lowest 100 points, the attribute points are the most 15 points, which can be regarded as a kind of compensation to some extent.

However, Li Kaiming was not in a hurry to add points. First of all, it was not necessary for the time being. It was just a preseason game. Sanders kept his playing time below 20 minutes. It's time to warm up.

Secondly, he didn't have time to add points. After the game, the Wizards got on the plane to Cleveland.

They will have their second preseason game on October 10 against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Time is tight, they must hurry up.

Arrive early to rest.

After the Cavaliers left LeBron James, the lineup still maintained a good competitiveness.

In addition to backup All-Star guard Mo Williams, the Cavaliers also acquired Wizards All-Star forward Antawn Jamison in a three-way deal last season.

Of course, apart from these two relatively powerful players, the rest of the Cavaliers are not enough to watch, they are all functional role players.

But it is worth mentioning that the Cavaliers' inside level is very good.

It may be in response to the strong insiders of the opponents in the playoffs, such as Warcraft Howard and Wolf King Garnett. The Cavaliers have always had a tradition of hoarding excellent insiders.

From the big Z when James first entered the league, to the big shark O'Neal who was later traded by the Cavaliers at the end of his career, and now hoarding three or four insiders.

So before the duel between the two sides started, some media discussions before the match began to look down on Li Kaiming.

Because the Cavaliers' interior defense is very good, and they have hoarded some black and thick muscle sticks, which look very powerful.

After Li Kaiming saw this kind of remarks, he just smiled lightly.

Based on his current inside level, it is estimated that what he is most afraid of is the type of Duncan, who has strong strength, good defensive positioning, experience, and not bad speed.

But the other insiders want to guard against him with a speed of 95, which is still a bit of a dream.

What's more, he doesn't only know how to dunk without thinking...

The Wizards and their team arrived in Cleveland by plane at midnight on the day the game ended. The exhaustion along the way made all the players yawn. After arriving at the hotel, they disbanded and went back to sleep.

The next day was the practice time they raced to get, and Sanders used the day to lead the players to run a little tactically.

After more than a month of running-in, Li Kaiming's arrival has gradually made others feel the feeling of being taken away, so no one jumped out to criticize the former like he did at the beginning.

Nick Young's contrast is even greater, he looks like a different person before and after, very much like a certain internet celebrity who said "really delicious" while eating fried rice...

After a month of training, Li Kaiming also gradually began to adapt to the newly added attributes, and he performed more and more easily on the field. This speed of improvement made Sanders, the coach, stunned!

What a monster!

After a day of training, on the second day, October 10, the Wizards took the team bus to the Cavaliers' home court, Quicken Loans Arena.

Compared with the American Airlines Center in Dallas, the Quicken Loans Arena is smaller. Standing at the gate of the arena, it looks more like a large supermarket chain.

The Wizards bus drove straight into the parking lot of the Baseline Arena. Li Kaiming looked out the window. There should not be many fans today.

It has to be said that James' box office appeal is still strong. After he left, the enthusiasm of local fans for the Cavaliers dropped a lot.

Li Kaiming looked around, and even saw many fans wearing his own jersey...

Before the start of the game, there is a brief pre-match press conference as usual.

Li Kaiming is a little tired of this, what a preseason interview.

So this time he simply rejected the press conference and went to the stadium to practice with other teammates.

It was Arenas who stayed. Since the "Gungate" incident, Arenas wanted to repair relations with the media, and he became much better in front of reporters.

After all, he was contested for very little money...

After discovering that there was no Li Kaiming at the press conference, the reporters quickly lost interest in the interview. After asking a few perfunctory questions, they went straight to the Cavaliers' home press conference.

A lot of people came to the Cavaliers press conference at home.

Cavaliers head coach Byron Scott and now head star Mo Williams and starting center Anderson Varejao all appeared at the press conference.

Antawn Jamison will not play in this game due to injury. According to reporters, he may not be able to return until November at the earliest, and he is very likely to miss the first month of the regular season.

This is bad news for the Cavaliers' record.

After all, Jamison averaged 20+8 per game when he was in the Wizards last season, and now the Cavaliers are the well-deserved number one scorer.

Facing the menacing Wizards, Cavaliers head coach Scott did not have any worries. I wonder if it was because the management did not put him under any pressure on his record. He said easily, "The Wizards are all excellent players. Guys, but we're not bad either."

It seems that there is no need for this coach to interview, and the reporters turned their attention to Mo Williams and Varejao.

"Fight against Li Kaiming, how will you limit him?"

"Defending him is not a matter of one person. We will work together to limit his shots in the interior. Our interior defense can deal with most of the interiors in the league, and Li Kaiming is no exception!"

The answers of Williams and Varejao let the reporter smell the news, and began to quickly record the interview of the two people.

The game is about to start, and the starting lineups of both sides have also been confirmed.

Cleveland Cavaliers, point guard Mo Williams, shooting guard Anthony Parker, small forward Ramon Sessions, power forward JJ Hickson, center Anderson Varejao.

Washington Wizards, point guard Arenas, shooting guard Nick Young, small forward Al Thornton, power forward Li Kaiming, center Andre Blatche.

After Li Kaiming walked onto the court, he looked around and found that the Quicken Loans Arena with only [-] seats was only half full today.

Fans were sitting sparsely, and only a handful of fans were wearing team clothes, including some in Wizards jerseys. …

It can be said that the on-site atmosphere is comparable to the college regular season.

Tonight's referee is No. 2 Michael Smith. He signaled the players from both sides to gather in the middle circle, and then kicked off quickly!

Blatche couldn't jump Chandler, but facing the Brazilian actor Varejao, he could still easily win.

The basketball was transferred to Li Kaiming, who handed the ball to Arenas, and then quickly went to the frontcourt.

The players of the Cavaliers seemed to be prepared for Li Kaiming's fast break. Two insiders squeezed into the penalty area and looked at Li Kaiming warily.

If the fast break fails, then you have to grind your ground.

Arenas faced Williams and was ready for a direct singles due to his physical advantage.

The others pulled away, and Li Kaiming ambushed inside the three-point line on the other side.

Arenas directly ran over Williams, who couldn't stop him at all, and could only retreat while using the other hand to interfere in front of Arenas!

After breaking into the penalty area, the two insiders of the Cavaliers could no longer stand and watch the show. Varejao took a step forward, but he didn't dare to jump directly.

JJ Hickson, who was facing Li Kaiming, also took a step back to the penalty area, and slightly let Li Kaiming go.

In this case, Arenas passed the ball without looking at anyone, and sent the ball to Li Kaiming who was temporarily vacant. Hickson immediately returned to defense, but as soon as he was in position, Li Kaiming suddenly activated and passed the ball !

Seeing this, Varejao didn't care about Blatche behind him, and went straight up to meet him. Li Kaiming made a fake pass and gave the ball to Brac under the basket.

2: 0!
