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

Looking at Lewis, who was almost hysterical, Stan Van Gundy also frowned, "Rashad, you are crazy! The more you fight like this, the less you can respond to him, and the team will be in trouble. You are an old player, how can you still Make such a mistake?"

When Lewis heard the coach's words, he immediately felt as if a basin of cold water was poured on his head, which made him sober up a lot in an instant!

He has been playing for more than ten years, and he still understands some of the principles. It's just that because the opponent is the No. [-] pick today, he wanted to be a teacher, but in the end, he was taught by a rookie.

After figuring this out, Lewis had an expression of shame on his face.

Next to the Wizards bench, Sanders slapped Li Kaiming on the shoulder.

"Li, when did you become so accurate with three-pointers? Why didn't you show it before?"

Li Kaiming wiped off his sweat with a towel, and then laughed, "Practice is effective, and recently I suddenly became enlightened..."

He doesn't care whether Sanders believes it or not, so what if he doesn't believe it, maybe he can be sent to the institute for an autopsy?

Sanders was straightforward. The game was still in progress, and precious time should not be spent on these trivial matters. He immediately picked up the tactical board and began to explain the next tactics to the players.

Li Kaiming sat on the bench, staring at Sanders' tactical board, and found something was wrong when he heard it.

Because he could clearly read a few words from the crooked lines and letters on the tactical board—give the ball to Li Kaiming...

The game came back quickly, and a short timeout was enough to talk about a tactic, and it was over after wiping off a sweat.

The Magic served the frontcourt, and Li Kaiming found that Lewis was like a different person, no longer obsessed with scoring on him.

When a shooter of Lewis's level starts to run without the ball, he is very threatening. Li Kaiming has no choice but to follow the former around. Although he is physically strong, his defense on the inside depends entirely on Brad. Odd alone.

The first attack back from the timeout ended with Howard catching the ball from the basket and dunking with both hands!

Blatche's talent is still too poor. Compared with Howard, his bullet speed is too slow, and he is easily dunked by the latter at the basket.

Howard's handwork is rough, but the dunk is not rough.

7 to 8, the Wizards lead by 1 point.

Hinrich carried out the tactics set by Sanders very steadfastly, and handed over the ball when he reached the frontcourt without hesitation for a second.

This made Li Kaiming feel a little weird. He, a power forward, took the job of the point guard, and there was something wrong no matter how he looked at it...

But his ultimate goal is to win, so this small problem was quickly left behind by him.

This time, Lewis's defensive focus was improved again, and he also loudly reminded his teammates to help him defend himself. It can be seen that after a few rounds, he also clearly realized that he couldn't defend Li Kaiming at all.

Since the opening of the Wizards, almost all the offenses have been initiated by Li Kaiming, and they have never played a tactic. At this time, it is Sanders' turn to use the tactic.

Li Kaiming held the ball and beckoned El Thorton to come up to cover, and the Wizards played the first pick-and-roll after the opening.

Thornton's screen was not enough for Lewis, who was taller than him, and Richardson, who was defending Thornton, followed immediately, ready to double-team Li Kaiming at any time.

The rest of the Wizards also started running, with Blatche as a pillar in the paint and off-ball screens for Nick Young and Hinrich who were running.

After Thornton covered for Li Kaiming, he directly cut inside, and the Magic let Thornton out very simply. First, Thornton's offensive threat was small, and second, they had Howard inside, so they were not afraid of Thornton's attack at the basket.

But Thornton did not go straight to the basket after entering the three-point line, but blocked Carter on the route of Nick Young. Carter bypassed the screen set by Brac, but Thornton's second Just one cover made him feel a little bit more than he could do.

Nick Young finally got a chance at the bottom corner of the outside line. Li Kaiming slammed the ball straight into Nick Young's hands from the gap between Lewis and Richardson.

Nick Young shot the ball and hit a three-pointer!

7 is better than 11!

The Wizards came up against the guest and directly suppressed the home team with three points.

This is beyond everyone's expectation, the magic team of the three-point team actually lost to a tank team competing for the top pick at the three-point line!

The Magic attacked, and after their three-pointers had been silent for a long time, they finally broke the three-point drought, and point guard Nelson made a hit at the top of the arc.

Hinrich passed halftime and passed the ball to Li Kaiming. The Wizards ran the same tactics as last time, but this time the Magic were prepared and did not give Nick Young a chance, but gave the open space to Elso pause.

In Li Kaiming's opinion, Thornton's open three-point shooting rate was not as good as his strong shot against the man, so he didn't pass the ball at all, but gave the ball to Hinrich again, and he directly gave Hinrich a pick-and-roll.

As a pick-and-roll man, Li Kaiming was a great threat. The two defenders of the Magic wanted to stick to Li Kaiming and miss Hinrich completely.

Faced with this opportunity, Hinrich naturally would not let go, and scored two points with a mid-range shot.

10:13.

Time passed slowly, and the first quarter ended in a blink of an eye, and the Wizards unexpectedly maintained their lead until the second quarter.

The Wizards led their opponents by 32 points 30 to 2.

In the first quarter, Li Kaiming was the most eye-catching presence in the game. His comprehensive data of 14 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists in a single quarter was the biggest contributor to maintaining the team's lead.

Li Kaiming's performance in the first quarter shut up many people who were ready to mock him before the game!

In the first game of a rookie, the data in a single quarter is quite explosive even in history.

And Comrade Koslov, who was standing in front of the TV and was about to dig out Li Kaiming's scandal, directly deleted the manuscript that had been edited for a long time in a fit of anger!

The Chinese fans on the other side of the ocean were conquered by Li Kaiming's performance in a single quarter!

"His skills are so comprehensive, and his shots are very accurate!"

"The passing is also very good. There should be no one in our national team who can pass the ball better than him..."

"Do you still remember the statistics of Yao Ming's NBA debut?"

“当然记得，姚明替补出场了11分钟，1投0中拿下2篮板2失误和3次犯规！”

"As for Li Kaiming today, his statistics in a single quarter are already close to the average statistics of Yao Ming's rookie season..."

"If this person is not injured, he must have a lot to do!"

"So the question is, isn't he Chinese? Why doesn't our national team plan for him?"

"Then I have to ask some officials from the Sports Bureau..."

……

But those who were conquered by Li Kaiming were not only the people off the court, but also the people on the court.

The teammates of the Wizards have begun to admire Li Kaiming from the bottom of their hearts. The latter's performance in the summer league and preseason games can at best surprise the Wizards players, but the performance in the first quarter of the opening game, and Li Kaiming as a player The responsibility of the core of the team made his teammates admire him.

In addition to his teammates, the players and coaches of the Magic also spoke highly of Li Kaiming.

Stan Van Gundy had already figured out various ways to limit the yellow-skinned guy in the first quarter, but these strategies were all cracked by the latter one by one.

But Van Gundy, who has always believed that basketball is a team game, has a little doubt about his belief at this moment. Could it be that someone can really play a team by himself?

Lewis was already sweating profusely at this time, he felt that he was not playing the regular season, but like playing the playoffs or even the finals.

He has tried his best to defend, but the guy who made him look down on him at first always has various means to score above his head.

He had completely let go of his contempt and regarded Li Kaiming as an all-star opponent, and unconsciously, he had put himself in a weak position.
