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

Li Kaiming's two consecutive passes surprised Bulls coach Thibodeau.

The defensive formation he built can deal with almost all kinds of players, except that he didn't consider the inside line who can pass the ball.

Because throughout the ages, those who can score double figures in assists are basically the outside line, especially the point guard. The inside line originally has a short touch time, and the attack area is closer to the basket, so it is easy to be strictly guarded by the opponent.

The basketball emperor Wilt Chamberlain won the assists king in one season, but his assists king was meaningless, because he controlled his desire to shoot as much as possible that season, and then desperately passed the ball to his teammates.

In human terms, this assist king is a brush.

In other words, Chamberlain's many records are not only due to his superior physical talent, but also a large part of the reason is that he himself is very keen to brush data.

He prides himself on all kinds of eye-popping statistics.

张伯伦最出名的一张照片就是他在1962年3月2日对阵纽约尼克斯的常规赛中，全场63投36中，罚球32中28拿下100分之后，面对媒体举着一张写了100的白纸，留下了nba历史上一个珍贵的时刻。

Looking back now, whether it is 63 shots or 32 free throws, it is almost impossible to happen in modern basketball.

In the past few years, the nba team has only taken 20 or [-] shots in a game. If a core player can take more than [-] shots, it is considered a bit of a suspicion.

Moreover, almost all the insiders have to rely on the outside to pass the ball to them. Almost none of the insiders can take the ball and launch an offense by themselves, let alone pass the ball to drive their teammates.

So far, the best passing center in NBA history should be Arvedas Sabonis from Europe, so his average assists per game did not exceed 5.

Former wolf king Kevin Garnett has averaged 20+5+5 per game for several seasons, so he is also called the most versatile player at the power forward position by the media.

But Tom Thibodeau knows that even if the Bulls face Chamberlain, Sabonis and Garnett today, they cannot pass such an exquisite pass.

These few people, at best, can only make themselves not afraid of being double-teamed by two people, but Li Kaiming has reached a new level, he wishes for you to double-team him, so that he can always find teammates who are open, and then directly flow take you away!

When he found out that the new No. [-] pick of the Wizards had shown him such a trick, he immediately asked the players on the field to change their defensive strategies.

Partial flanking, prevent catch, quick return to defense.

The Bulls' offense ended with Derrick Rose's throw. Arenas tried his best to interfere this time, and finally let Rose's shot miss the basket.

When Li Kaiming got the rebound, Elthorton and Nick Young on the outside line started running to the frontcourt crazily. With Li Kaiming, the Wizards' fast-break rhythm accelerated a lot, and they could even get backcourt rebounds to launch a fast-break!

Seeing El Thorton running in front of Luol Deng, Li Kaiming made a long pass, leading the ball, and it happened to be one step ahead of Thornton.

Rolle Deng didn't see it well, and immediately prepared to step forward to foul, but Thornton gritted his teeth and accelerated again, and then took three steps before Rolle Dun pulled him!

beep!

The referee blew his whistle and Luol Deng made a foul shot.

Thornton, who lost his balance, threw the ball to the basket unwillingly, but not everyone is Li Kaiming and can make this kind of ball.

In the end, he could only obediently stand on the free throw line.

Two free throws were made, 6 to 7, and the Wizards took the lead!

Seeing this, Thibodeau immediately applied for a timeout. The strategy of defending Li Kaiming must be explained to the players. The Bulls players have never seen Li Kaiming. It is normal for the Bulls to be a little confused for a while.

Thibodeau is also confused, where did this freak come from!

The timeout passed, and after Thibodeau's guidance, the Bulls players reacted.

We must defend the number 0 on the opposite side like the boss of the team!

The timeout came back for the first attack, which ended with Rose's short-range throw.

I have to say that Rose's breakthrough is really difficult to defend, and Arenas is a bit overwhelmed.

The Wizards served, Arenas received Blatche's screen to face Noah, and then passed the latter with a double change, and made a layup before the Bulls could make up the defense.

If he didn't play another one, the fans would have thought that Arenas had slipped off a cliff!

The point difference was still 1 point back and forth, the Bulls attacked, and Luol Deng hit El Thornton in a mid-range single, turning over and hitting a jumper.

Li Kaiming got in position inside and was ready to catch the ball, but Gibson started to defend around the front and refused to let him catch the ball. Noah and Luol Deng in the bottom corner were also ready to move. As long as Arenas passed the ball, they would directly sandwich Li Kaiming die!

In this situation, if a pass is forced, there is a high probability that it will be intercepted by the opponent, but Li Kaiming is not only working in the penalty area, he immediately ran to a position close to the three-point line.

Although Gibson also followed, but this time he did not go around, but with vigilance in his eyes, and loudly reminded Rose to be careful in the pick-and-roll.

But Li Kaiming didn't come to pick and roll. He took the ball from Arenas with one hand, looked at Gibson who was leaning over to prevent him from breaking through, smiled slightly, and then made a mid-range shot!

Gibson didn't expect that this guy would shoot from the mid-range, because after the opening, Li Kaiming hardly went out of the penalty area on the offensive end, so he naturally thought that this guy didn't shoot, so he subconsciously took a step.

It was too late to defend now, so he could only look back and watch the basketball fly into the basket.

Li Kaiming's shooting posture is very standard, and the shape of his hands is also very good-looking, so this ball cannot be fooled!

After seeing this scene, Tom Thibodeau was also a little dumbfounded!

Now it's hard to defend, you can't start to defend at the three-point line!

Moreover, the location of this area is too big, and it is far away from the basket, so there is no way to double-team.

Li Kaiming faces the basket and can find open teammates at any time. This is simply setting Thibodeau on fire!

If a rookie penetrates the defense, where will he put the face of Thibodeau's defensive coach?

But the question is, will Li Kaiming give him this face?

……

Ever since Li Kaiming showed his mid-range shooting skills, the Bulls players on the field were powerless.

So in the end, the way to defend Li Kaiming is to return to the classic man-to-man, and let Li Kaiming single-handedly attack Gibson to prevent him from driving his teammates.

Thibodeau is also suffering in his heart. Who knew that he would meet such a freak as Li Kaiming in the preseason.

So now he can only comfort himself in his heart. The American people believe that the source of basketball defensive strategy is one-on-one defense.

Are you on guard?For example...

Now that Thibodeau has offered the ultimate defensive cheats, it's okay for Li Kaiming not to respond, and he still has to give the face that should be given.

Otherwise, others thought he was on the same level as Ty Gibson!

So, in the next ten minutes, Li Kaiming completely turned into a big devil in singles with a stick, combining throwing, passing and sudden, making Gibson miserable!

Before the game, Gibson thought he could give a lesson to the new top pick, but he didn't expect that the hunter turned into a prey on the court, and he was directly beaten by Li Kaiming...

At halftime, the Wizards led the Bulls by 56 points 50 to 6.

李凯明出场15分钟，10中7砍下16分8篮板5助攻，这半场数据比绝大多数球员的全场数据还强。

Arenas' three-pointer feeling tonight is relatively poor, but he chooses to attack the basket more when the three-pointer is short.

Noah's frame protection is very strong, so Arenas' efficiency can only be said to be so-so. He scored 13 points and 8 assists in 2 minutes of halftime.

Nick Young has a good three-pointer, scoring 3 points with 9 three-pointers in the half.

Not surprisingly, Rose of the Bulls scored the highest score, scoring 15 points and 3 assists. Gibson was beaten dizzily by Li Kaiming, and only scored 2 points in the half, which he got by stealing chickens under the basket after Li Kaiming left the court.

Noah's scoring ability is not good. He scored 5 points in the half, but got 8 rebounds and was equal to Li Kaiming, which shows his strong defensive ability.
