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

The basketball capped by Li Kaiming fell into the hands of Thornton, who gave the ball to Hinrich, and the Wizards launched a fast break.

Li Kaiming was still running at the front, like a runaway wild horse.

Several people from the Magic team directly formed a human wall outside the three-point line, suppressing Li Kaiming's speed.

But the cost is to leave a lot of open opportunities for the rest of the Wizards.

However, Nick Young was not left empty. Hinrich looked left and right and found that there was no better opportunity than himself, so he went directly to the frontcourt and shot a three-pointer.

The opportunity was good, but Hinrich didn't grasp it, and the rebound was taken by Howard.

Magic's offense, this time Howard received a pass from Carter outside the basket without the ball, and then immediately made a strong move under the basket, causing a foul by Blatche!

This foul is actually a bit far-fetched, but this is the Magic's home court and the referee is Tony Brothers, so it is understandable.

Blatche was a little depressed. This was what he was most afraid of. Originally, he couldn’t guard Howard when he was playing aerial work without the ball. If the latter got strong immediately after receiving the ball, and the referee gave him back, then he couldn’t guard him either. live.

Howard stood on the free throw line and made two free throws after preparing for a long time. The rebound was accepted by Blatche.

Hinrich and Li Kaiming pick and roll. After the screen, Li Kaiming cut inside, and the opposite point guard Nelson was stuck behind him. In desperation, he had to switch defenses. Lewis hesitated and went back to defend Hinrich. up.

With such a big dislocation, Hinrich hit the ball to Li Kaiming. The moment the ball arrived, Lewis let go of Hinrich and rushed over.

At the same time, Vince Carter in the bottom corner on the same side came from a pinch.

Nelson took advantage of his low center of gravity and used his lower body to support Li Kaiming's knee.

This kind of dirty action of small defense and big is almost done by point guards who have been in the league for many years.

However, when Nelson exerts strength in his lower body, it means that his flexibility will be reduced, so Li Kaiming used the ball protector to block Nelson the moment he received the ball, and then used the side with his back against Nelson as the axis, making a fast Turn around and kill the restricted area.

Howard immediately greeted him with his hands high, but Li Kaiming sent Howard flying with a layup fake on the move, then switched the ball from right hand to left hand, and a small lever in the air wiped the ball from the other side of the backboard. .

The Magic's offense ended with Carter's three-pointer, and Hinrich gave the ball to Li Kaiming again. The two players of the Magic team directly covered Li Kaiming when he got the ball, even though Li Kaiming was outside the three-point line.

Al Thorton is still open, and the Magic always let him go.

Li Kaiming chose to trust Thornton this time and passed the ball to the latter. Thornton, who got the ball, hesitated for a moment, and then made a shot, which turned out to be a three-pointer!

Back in the second quarter, the Wizards had widened the point difference. This was not what the audience wanted to see. Van Gundy immediately called a timeout.

After returning from the timeout, the Magic replaced backup point guard Chris Duhon, who averaged 7 points and 5 assists per game last season, and is a very qualified point guard.

Pietrus replaced Richardson. In comparison, Pietrus is more capable on the offensive end.

The Wizards didn't have many rotations to choose from. They just took Brac and replaced it with backup center JaVale McGee. This year's rookie small forward Trevor Booker also got a chance and replaced him. Al Thornton.

The two sides took their respective semi-substitute lineups in the second half of the second quarter, but the Wizards' lineup is still in a clear disadvantage.

After switching to the bench, the performance of the Magic has improved slightly. The backup point guard is a pass-oriented player who is very good at sorting out the team's offense.

After playing for 5 minutes, the Magic narrowed the point difference to 2 points again.

As for Li Kaiming, apart from getting a 4-minute break in the second half of the first quarter, there was no chance to rest in the first half.

Sanders also clearly told him that if he wants to win today, Li Kaiming must play full time.

Of course, besides Li Kaiming, Nick Young is the only one who has this treatment in the Wizards.

Li Kaiming is because the team needs him as the core on the field. Without him, it is easy to fall into singles.

But Nick Young is because the Wizards do not have a suitable 2nd position substitute.

Sun Yue is one, but his current level is definitely not suitable for getting a chance to play in this kind of game.

Lester Hudson's level is not enough, and he can make a living in the summer league.

There is no other way but to make Nick Young play full...

In the last attack of the first half, the score between the two sides was 48 to 47, and the Wizards led by 1 point.

With 13 seconds left in the clock, the Wizards had the ball and served from the backcourt.

The Magic adopted a strategy of double-teaming and pressing against Li Kaiming. Li Kaiming couldn't touch the ball at all, so in the end point guard Hinrich got the ball and advanced with the ball.

With 10 seconds left in the frontcourt, Li Kaiming dodged the double-teaming of two people, and got out from the gap to receive the pass from Hinrich. He knew that the double-teaming of the Magic team would arrive soon, so he simply received the ball from Hinrich. After reaching the ball, he only took a step towards the three-point line, and then he pulled up and threw a three-pointer!

Because the position of his three-point shot was two steps away from the three-point line, everyone was dumbfounded by this shot!

This feeling is like playing a basketball game, holding the ball in the backcourt and pressing the pass button, which turns out to be the shooting button. It doesn't look right no matter what!

The commentary at the scene even called out "Li Kaiming is crazy!"

Not to mention this far, and the time for this attack has not yet come. If the goal is not scored, it is equivalent to changing hands and sending the last opportunity of the attack to the Magic. No matter how you look at it, it is not worth it!

But it was such a shot that looked extremely outrageous, and it fell into the basket with precise guidance along a perfect parabolic trajectory in the air!

Swish!

51 is better than 47!

There are 6 seconds left!

The entire Amway Center was completely conquered by Li Kaiming's offensive performance!

"What monster! Can it be thrown in from such a distance in actual combat?"

"And he shot in under the double-team of two people!"

"His shooting posture is even a standard jumper! It's scary!"

……

In the studio of Huaguo Sports Channel, Zhang Weiping and several commentators were also crazy because of this goal!

Zhang Weiping pointed out bluntly, "If the Huaguo men's basketball team has a player like Li Kaiming, then I believe there is absolutely no problem winning a medal, and you can even imagine a gold medal!"

Su Qun on the side is still a little rational, "No matter how you say it, planning Li Kaiming is definitely a matter of great benefit and no harm. It will greatly improve the strength of the national team!"

In the last 6 seconds of the game in the first half, the Magic served from the backcourt, and it was Vince Carter who executed the last attack. 6 seconds was enough to move from the backcourt to the frontcourt to play a simple tactic. Howard covered and Carter was on the three-point line He took a mid-range shot against McGee's long arm with one step inside, and at the end of the first half, he shot hard.

Throughout the first half, Li Kaiming played 20 minutes and made 13 of 9 shots, including 5 of 4 three-pointers. He scored 24 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 block, the highest score and assist in the game!

The rest of the Wizards performed well tonight. Nick Young was under strict defense and still scored 8 points. Hinrich stepped in and showed his demeanor as a veteran, scoring 6 points and 5 assists. Brac was at the basket Being fed by Li Kaiming, he scored 7 points and 7 rebounds in the half, which can be said to have fulfilled his task rewards very well.

Yi Jianlian got 4 minutes of playing time in the first half, which was exactly the 4 minutes that Li Kaiming went down. Unfortunately, his performance was not good. He made 2 of 0 shots and got 1 rebound, and had no other statistics.

Sun Yue simply didn't get a chance to play.

For the Magic, Howard scored 8 points, 9 rebounds and 1 block, Carter scored 12 points, and Lewis found his form in the second quarter, scoring 8 points and 2 rebounds.
