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

The referee on duty tonight is Benia Adams wearing the uniform of No. 47. Adams called the players of both sides to gather in the circle, and then put the whistle in his hand in his mouth.

Jump ball, Andrey Blatche vs Spencer Hawes.

Benia Adams blew the whistle, and then threw the basketball into the sky. Blatche and Hawes jumped almost at the same time. However, after all, Hawes was 76 meters tall and had a longer wingspan than Bracch, so in the end it was Hawes. Adams was even better, and the [-]ers won the first chance to attack.

John Wall took the ball from his teammate, and there was a huge booing from the fans at the MCI Center!

This is the home court of the Wizards. The 76ers coach Collins and all the players at the pre-match press conference angered the Wizards fans, and John Wall, who was involved, naturally became the target of the Wizards fans.

However, Wall is also very upbeat, and he dribbled the ball to the frontcourt steadily. Hinrich, who defended Wall, was under a lot of pressure. Although he also wanted to teach Wall as a veteran, but he was not good enough. After all, Al is a top pick in terms of physical talent, especially in speed, which is among the best in the entire 10th draft.

Hinrich belongs to the category of people who rely on their brains to play, so he wisely chose to let Wall take a step, giving the latter space to shoot, but not allowing him to break through.

Wall also saw the trick, and after finding out that Hinrich had let him go, he immediately called Hawes to come up to pick and roll.

Hawes is so big that he slams next to Hinrich, who only feels half his vision is blocked.

Wall used the screen to successfully break through the Wizards' first line of defense.

Because of Hinrich's position at the back, Wall was only one position ahead of the former, and in front of him was Brac, who was squatting on the inside.

Wall made a decisive decision and stepped into the penalty area at a high speed. Although Blatche was waiting on the sidelines, there was also a change in Wall's breakthrough. He was rushed in without paying attention.

Wall is such a player. Even if you know that he has a good breakthrough, you can't prevent his breakthrough most of the time.

Seeing that Wall was about to score the first point at the start of the game against the boos of the audience, Li Kaiming suddenly broke out from halfway and stretched out his hand to cover the ball in Wall's hand!

Wall's expression also changed, so he had to twist his body in the air to avoid Li Kaiming's block.

The block was avoided, but Wall's layup was also successfully destroyed by Li Kaiming. The basketball hit the backboard, flew over the basket, and was accepted by Blatche who arrived in time.

The fans at the MCI Center let out a sigh of relief!

This time, if Wall scores one as soon as he comes up, it will be a big blow to the morale of the Wizards.

The Wizards attacked, Hinrich dribbled the ball beyond the three-point line, Li Kaiming caught the ball at 45 degrees, faced the defender Elton Brand, and made a fake three-point shot.

But what he didn't expect was that Brand didn't take it seriously. The latter didn't even take a step forward to defend his three-pointer!

Yo!Look down on me, right?

Li Kaiming's heart turned, and the fake action halfway through suddenly became real, and he shot directly on the spot!

Brand realized that Li Kaiming was actually coming, so he reacted and stretched out his hand to rush over, but it was too late.

Swish!

There was a clear sound of brushing the net, the basketball went into the net hollowly, and Li Kaiming scored the first point of the game!

3 is better than 0!

The audience at the MCI Center immediately cheered. Li Kaiming first used a defense to thwart John Wall's offense, and then another three-pointer opened the situation for the team and created a leading situation.

More and more Wizards fans have regarded Li Kaiming as the core of the team.

The 76ers attack, Wall holds the ball, and his pass control is also very good. Under normal circumstances, he would not choose to play hard by himself.

This time he didn't call a screen, but took advantage of his strong speed. When he dribbled the ball and was two steps away from the three-point line, he suddenly exploded in speed and caught Hinrich by surprise.

Hinrich was passed again, but he gritted his teeth and followed Wall, and did not give up defense. Li Kaiming shrank into the penalty area and helped Hinrich wipe his ass.

Wall broke through to the free throw line and passed the ball to Brand, who was unguarded in the middle distance, with a hit.

But Wall still underestimated the speed of Li Kaiming's return to defense. Near the narrow penalty area, Li Kaiming could return to the defensive position in one step with his long legs, and did not give Brand the chance to throw an open three-pointer.

But Brand is not a vegetarian either. Since I can't cast open spots, I will solve the problem alone.

Elton Brand was selected by the Los Angeles Clippers with the No. 1999 pick in [-], so his nickname is also the captain.

He is 206 tall and plays the position of power forward, but his height of 206 has not become his disadvantage. The strength is powerful.

Brand is a stocky rebounder among the four wizards in the field. He doesn't shoot three-pointers, but likes post-ups. He is strong and stable, and his rebounding ability is explosive.

So in Brand's view, it's okay if you can't cast an open spot.

So after Li Kaiming returned to the defense, Brand first protected the ball and observed the situation. After finding that no one was double-teaming, he began to dribble and push the ball inward.

When he entered the league, what kind of insiders did not see?Can you still be afraid of you, a melon egg who just joined the alliance?

But when Brand gave Li Kaiming a push, his face immediately changed!

Hold the grass, so hard?

It's not that he can't stand it, but it's much more difficult than he imagined!

Generally speaking, the most obvious feature of the players entering the NBA in the NCAA draft is that they cannot adapt to confrontation. Therefore, in the first year after many players enter the league, in addition to gaining experience, the most important thing is to gain muscle to adapt to confrontation.

That's why Brand confidently chose to play against Li Kaiming in singles. With his strength, no one in the NBA's 4th position dared to say that he was stronger than him.

But after the first intimate contact, Brand realized that something was wrong with this rookie!

Young boy is so strong!

But at this time, Li Kaiming is actually not feeling well. Facing Brand, who is one of the most powerful power forwards in the league, his 80-point strength attribute is not enough.

At the beginning, Brand was caught off guard, but after Brand got used to it, he couldn't stand it anymore.

But in fact, Brand on the opposite side was very surprised. This new No. [-] pick is not only strong, but also very durable. Generally, the inside line will lose stamina after a few hits, but he has taken four or five shots with the racket. Find the right shot.

Li Kaiming's long arms had been covering him all the time. At this moment, Brand's height disadvantage was highlighted.

In desperation, he had no choice but to suddenly use his strength to open up a little space, then turned around with his left foot as the axis and threw with one hand!

Li Kaiming endured the pain in his chest, and raised his arms to cover Brand's sight.

Under the guidance of muscle memory, the basketball successfully came to the top of the basket, but the strength was obviously stronger, and it bounced on the basket and then fell to the other side.

Blatche firmly received the rebound.

Li Kaiming defended another attack from the 76ers!

Next to the Wizards bench, Sanders clenched his fist hard!

Pretty!

Originally, when he saw that Brand was going to single-handedly fight Li Kaiming, he was still sweating for the latter, but he didn't expect that Brand's food guy would be ashamed when he met Li Kaiming!

The probability of winning tonight has increased a bit!

And Brand was also very astonished. He turned over and threw with the back of his hand. It was one of his signature moves during training. He didn't expect to be defended by a rookie!

This rookie, something.

Everyone praised Li Kaiming's strength in their hearts, but only Li Kaiming knew what he had paid to defend against Brand's attack.

Aching ribs are the answer.
