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

Back from the timeout, there were less than 7 minutes before the end of the first half. That is to say, under the leadership of Arenas, the bench lineup not only failed to score a point for more than 4 minutes, but also allowed the Cavaliers to win. 7 points!

It's no wonder that Sanders has a big temper, anyone who sees this will be upset!

Cavaliers head coach Larry Drew saw Sanders change into the starting lineup, and immediately changed into the entire starting lineup.

As a substitute for the Cavaliers, facing a player of Li Kaiming's level, Larry Drew would not dare to put on the court for a minute.

Back in the game, since Sanders' timeout was called before the free throw, after returning, the Cavaliers' Graham made the free throw first.

Not surprisingly, the latter made a steady free throw, 32 to 31, and the difference between the two teams was only 1 point!

The Wizards served the ball, Hinrich dribbled the ball halfway, Li Kaiming stepped forward to cover, Hinrich used the pick-and-roll to break through to the free throw line, the Cavaliers had already followed the inside line, and could not continue to break through, Hinrich made a large-scale transfer Ball, give it to Nick Young at 45 degrees to the right.

Nick Young's position is not good. Graham, who is defending him, is not a boy like Booker. He has a lot of experience. In desperation, Nick Young transfers the ball to Li Kaiming at the top of the arc again.

After jj Hickson got a three-point shot by Li Kaiming in the first quarter, he didn't dare to let the latter go.

So when Li Kaiming received a pass from Nick Young at the top of the arc, JJ Hickson stuck to Li Kaiming directly, but Li Kaiming is not the kind of off-ball shooter who only catches and shoots. people.

He directly dropped the ball and took a step back to open up space, and then suddenly took a step inside the three-point line in a disguised form.

Li Kaiming's pace was too big, coupled with his strong explosive power, JJ Hickson was thrown behind him in an instant. At this time, the rest of the Cavaliers were also ready inside, helping Hickson defend Li Kaiming at any time.

But now Li Kaiming is no longer the player with dead ends on the offensive end. At this time, he is a real offensive kaleidoscope.

The head coach of the Cavaliers, Larry Drew, stared at the court without blinking. His coaching staff used the video of Li Kaiming's game and keenly discovered that the latter didn't like shooting from mid-range. .

So in this game, Larry Drew also asked the Cavaliers players to prevent Li Kaiming from throwing three-pointers as much as possible, and then stick to the basket and let the latter make mid-range shots.

Seeing that the Cavaliers players on the court executed his pre-match tactics very well, Larry Drew murmured, "Boy, there has never been a person without a weakness in the world. I discovered your weakness!"

But at the next moment, Larry Drew froze, because the guy wearing the No. 0 Wizards jersey on the field actually made a sudden stop after breaking through Hickson, and took a step inside the three-point line. Just throw it!

A bad premonition flashed in Larry Drew's heart.

The basketball flew out from Li Kaiming's fingertips, followed a standard parabola, and fell into the basket with precision!

Swish!

33 is better than 31!

The two coaches, Larry Drew and Sanders, stared wide-eyed at the same time!

When did he become so confident in the middle distance?

As Li Kaiming's coach, Sanders naturally knows that Li Kaiming doesn't like to shoot mid-range shots. In fact, in Sanders' view, although Li Kaiming's mid-range shots are not top-notch, they are also above the average level of the league. no problem.

But no matter what he said, Li Kaiming only shot three-pointers. Even if he had a mid-range shot, he would make big and small turnaround shots or hooks.

As for why Li Kaiming is obsessed with playing three-pointers and the basket, Sanders also asked about the specific reasons, and then Li Kaiming gave a vivid math class.

Although from the so-called mathematical point of view, the three-point shot is indeed more profitable than the mid-range, but Sanders, who has been dealing with basketball for most of his life, cannot accept this style of play. If he is a role player, he can only shoot three-pointers. Accepted, but as the team's top card, it's a bit unreasonable to throw only three points!

Of course, if it weren't for Li Kaiming's average three-point shooting rate of close to 50% so far, Sanders wouldn't let the former play like this...

So now that Li Kaiming actually made an elegant mid-range pull-up jumper in the game, Sanders was very relieved. This kid has finally got his head around it, and he is not going to hang himself on the three-point tree!

On the opposite side, Larry Drew's face was cloudy and uncertain. With this ball alone, it was impossible to tell whether Li Kaiming's ball was sure or blind, so Larry Drew was still going to continue his defensive strategy.

The Cavaliers' offense hit a wall immediately after meeting the Wizards' starting lineup. Mo Williams passed the ball to Varejao who was going down the line. The latter barely missed a layup. Li Kaiming got the rebound and started Fast attack!

JJ Hickson exhausted all his strength to keep up with Li Kaiming who was running with the ball. The rest of the Cavaliers also quickly returned to defense. They had experienced the Wizards' fast break as early as the preseason.

But who would have thought that after Li Kaiming made a fast break to the frontcourt, he didn't hit in at all, but stopped immediately at the three-point line, and then made another three-point shot!

JJ Hixon's complexion changed, I'm stupid!Come again!

It was the same plot as last time, JJ Hickson even thought he had entered some kind of time loop, and even the sound of basketball brushing the net was not bad!

36 is better than 31!

As soon as Li Kaiming led the starters back, he immediately opened up the point difference again within two rounds!

On the Wizards bench, Arenas covered his head with a towel, lost in thought...

Seeing Li Kaiming's return from the second quarter, the effect was immediate, and the commentator at MCI's home stadium smiled and interacted with the guests, "What do you think? The difference in influence between Lee and Gilbert is a bit big!"

The guest neither nodded nor shook his head, "If Gilbert's state has been like this, then his days in Washington may be counting down..."

Whether the countdown to Arenas' departure has started is a matter for the management to consider.

The countdown on the court quickly passed. At the end of the second quarter, the Wizards led the Cavaliers by 65 points 53 to 12!

李凯明半场出战16分钟，投篮11中7，其中三分球4中3，罚球4中4，得到21分5篮板3助攻。

The Cavaliers don't know what's going on today, but they have been using jj Hickson to defend him alone, plus he feels better today, after halftime, Hickson was numb!

It is estimated that Hixon went home to dream at night, and the dream was full of scenes of Li Kaiming shooting him in various ways...

The rest of the Wizards' starters also performed very well. Nick Young finally recovered his form, making 4 of 2 three-pointers in the half, scoring 8 points and 2 rebounds.Hinrich is still a reliable traditional point guard. Even though his playing time was shortened in the first quarter because of Arenas, he still played hard and scored 4 points and 5 assists in the half.Since JJ Hickson was pulled out by Li Kaiming, Brac only had to deal with one Varejao inside. He made 5 of 3 in the half, scored 9 points and 6 rebounds.

The data of the substitute lineup is quite chilling. The former team's sixth man, Yi Jianlian, only got 2 shots in the half. Since he played with Arenas most of the time, he could only turn back and run when he played, so the halftime The data is zeroed.

Sun Yue didn't have much playing time, and the magic feeling before was no longer there, so Sanders didn't give him too many opportunities.

When the halftime whistle sounded, Arenas looked at the big screen above his head, and found that the difference between the two sides was actually in double digits, and his whole body was instantly petrified...

How is it possible, is this guy really stronger than I imagined?

……

While the game was going on, a call rang suddenly in the office of the president of the Washington Wizards. A big hand picked up the phone on the desk and looked over the track of the phone. The owner of the phone, a man in a A white man in a suit with a slightly fat face and a wax gourd face answered the phone.

"Pat, there must be nothing good for you guy looking for me!"

On the other end of the phone, the man named Pat also laughed a few times, and then asked, "I heard that Arenas is messing up again, so I just want to ask the number one pick in your team, what bargaining chip do you want for a price? "
