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

At the start of the second half, Li Kaiming came up and gave Varejao another dunk.

Maybe Sanders found him very excited tonight, or he wanted Li Kaiming to go up to avenge his revenge and give the latter more playing time.

Li Kaiming and Nick Young brought a few substitute players to face the starting lineup of the Cavaliers on the field, but the point difference is getting bigger and bigger!

In this lineup, Nick Young became a small forward, Sun Yue was a shooting guard, Yi Jianlian was a power forward, and Li Kaiming returned to the familiar center position.

But although his position on the court is center, he is definitely the person with the most touch time and times in the Wizards.

Among the substitute players, there is no one who can be used as the core, so the dominance of this lineup is centered on Li Kaiming.

After several months of training, Sanders also gradually explored the play style of the second team with Li Kaiming as the core.

The other players applauded the move with both hands and feet.

First of all, Arenas and others are the starters. They need a certain amount of shot and ball power. In addition to the black hole of Nick Young's ball power, they also need to cultivate Li Kaiming as the core insider. One ball is obviously not enough.

So someone must bring a substitute, and the person who brings the substitute must first be able to pass the ball, which excludes Nick Young, and the second is to be able to play for a long enough time.

Arenas has been plagued by knee injuries in recent years, so he has to control his playing time, and the glorious and arduous task of leading the second team naturally falls on Li Kaiming's shoulders.

Li Kaiming naturally did not disappoint Sanders and his teammates. After he showed his strong ability to drive his teammates, the Wizards players were surprised to find that the substitute lineup played very smoothly!

Just like a precision instrument, every move can make the most correct choice, the players can always appear where they should appear, and the atmosphere of team basketball is gradually established...

With Li Kaiming as the core, the rest of the people began to move around Li Kaiming.

Varejao, who was facing Li Kaiming, was dizzy after a few rounds. He missed several people at the basket and was dunked twice by Li Kaiming. The point difference soon came to 20 points.

Cavaliers head coach Byron Scott immediately called a timeout. If this continues, his starting lineup will be crushed by the opposite bench...

He could see clearly off the court that the No. [-] pick in the Wizards team was absolutely top-notch in passing, so the best way to defend this lineup was to defend against other players and give Li Kaiming singles instead of letting him drive his teammates!

After the timeout, the Cavaliers players who received Scott's guidance quickly came to their senses and began to strangle their opponents.

This method is really good, but the second team led by Li Kaiming can only play other substitutes at most. It can be said that it is a dream to win the starting lineup.

In particular, the physical talent of the substitute lineup is not as good as that of the starting lineup. If the opponent is really serious about defending, with the physical fitness of Sun Yue and others, it is almost difficult to hit against the defense. If there is any interference, the shot will miss the basket.

Although this method narrowed the point difference, it made it easier for Li Kaiming to complete the task. When he played Varejao one-on-one, he could almost eat it alive!

Poor Varejao, before going off at the end of the third quarter, was dunked twice again by Li Kaiming!

Not surprisingly, after going down this time, he will never come up again.

Seeing that the opponent took the lead and raised the white flag to surrender, Sanders also used up a timeout, then took Li Kaiming and Nick Young down, and replaced them with pure substitutes to peck each other.

After the end of the game, the Cavaliers regained some points and lost 99 to 108 to the Wizards by 9 points.

李凯明全场出战31分钟，20中16拿下41分12篮板10助攻的三双，这也是他来到NBA之后的第一个三双！

阿里纳斯仅出战半场不到20分钟，12中6拿下15分4助攻。

Sun Yue's efficiency was a bit low. Facing opponents who were physically better than him, he struggled a bit. He played for 18 minutes and scored 5 points with 2 of 5 goals and 3 turnovers.

Yi Jianlian's performance tonight was also somewhat unsatisfactory. The insiders hoarded by the Cavaliers did not cause trouble to Li Kaiming, but made Yi Jianlian suffer.

He played 24 minutes in the game, only hit 12 of 4 shots, scored 10 points and barely reached double figures, but the rebounds were well protected, got 10 rebounds, and got the first double-double of the Wizards career. It's preseason.

For the Cavaliers, Mo Williams scored 30 points, 26 rebounds, 5 assists and 8 steals in 2 minutes. The data is very balanced.

Varejao, who was taught a lesson by Li Kaiming, also performed very badly tonight. He scored 7 points and 2 rebounds in 6 of 10 games. It can be said that it is a great shame and humiliation to be taught in reverse by a rookie...

After the second preseason game of the Wizards, Li Kaiming's performance once again became a hot topic in the basketball circle.

Because after the first game, many fans and reporters believed that John Wall was in the leading position in the best rookie competition.

Because Li Kaiming only played half of the game in the first game, and the statistics are very average, although the efficiency is still abnormal.

But most people still like to look at basic data, just like playing games and only looking at KDA.

Wall's brilliant performance in the first game coupled with very good statistics made some fans start advocating him.

Some of Li Kaiming's black fans even started clamoring, "Li Kaiming is a fraudster! He deceived the management of the Wizards and the NBA! The No. [-] pick belongs to Wall!"

What's even more dumbfounding is that this kind of embarrassing comment full of black elements has gained a lot of recognition from some people!

But immediately, Li Kaiming shut up these guys in the second match!

You like looking at data, right? Labor-management data is much more beautiful than 20+10. Do you still look at data?

Of course, this game was not a result of Li Kaiming's deliberate brushing of data in order to smack the faces of the sunspots, but the result of a combination of various factors.

Some of the media's factors were that he would be restricted by the insiders of the Cavaliers during the game preview, there were also factors of system tasks, and factors that Varejao provoked him, etc...

In the eyes of some people, the Cavaliers, the inside defensive team, scored 70 plus triple-doubles by Li Kaiming alone with a shooting rate of more than 40%. This is something no one expected, even those who were optimistic about Li Kaiming before this.

"No. 40 pick Li Kaiming scored [-]+ triple-doubles in the second preseason game. I heard that someone questioned me? "

After this battle, Li Kaiming also became the first rookie in the NBA to score a 40+ triple-double in a preseason game, achieving his first historical achievement in entering the NBA!

Memphis, inside a detached villa.

After retirement, Leonard's life is very regular, but he still maintains a habit related to his career. After all, he has been fighting for this thing for decades.

The old man skillfully pressed the remote control of the TV, and the channel broadcasted sports news.

"In the NBA preseason game that just ended today, the Washington Wizards defeated the host Cleveland Cavaliers 108 to 99. Washington Wizards player Li Kaiming performed well, scoring 41 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists in the triple-double, which became NBA history. The first player in history to get a 40+ triple-double in his rookie preseason..."

Listening to the announcer's words on the TV, Leonard's eyes fixed on Li Kaiming's highlights on the screen, and he couldn't help smacking his lips!

"This kid is much better than he was in May. This speed of progress is really terrifying..."
