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

At tonight's pre-match press conference, when the reporter asked Raptors coach Jetriano what he thought of Li Kaiming's performance in the last game and how he would defend the latter in tonight's game, Triano milked a wave of Wizards and Li Kaiming fiercely for the camera.

"People underestimate the strength of the Wizards. Under the leadership of Philip Sanders and Li Kaiming, who is currently averaging 35 points per game, they are a very good team, ranking first in the division and second in the league. The outside world treats them The critiques are unfair to them in my opinion.

After a pause, Triano continued, "I saw Li Kaiming's performance against Chicago a few days ago. To be honest, in my lifetime, a rookie can play such a performance when he just entered the league. I saw No more than one hand, he is really good. His offensive versatility makes him very difficult to defend, we can only do our best to make him less efficient, or let his teammates do their best. Shot as much as possible!"

It seems that Triano has a very high evaluation of Li Kaiming. After all, not everyone is like the head coach of the 76ers who supports his own players without thinking.

Although there is nothing wrong with supporting your own players, the premise of doing so is that the gap between the player you are optimistic about and his comparison is not too big, but if the gap between the two sides is too large, even the player himself feels that he is not at the same level as the opponent In such a situation, it is your fault that the coach came out and took the lead in talking nonsense!

So the head coach of the 76ers also fled the scene of the game in desperation after the game against the Wizards. The comparison between Li Kaiming and Wall on the field was almost equivalent to rubbing his face on the ground!

And there is no player in the Raptors that has a competitive relationship with Li Kaiming. After the former Dragon King Chris Bosh joined the Heat to form the Big Three, the Raptors have completely become a bad team this season. Spinach companies are not optimistic about the prospects of the Wizards. , so before the start of the season, the odds for the Wizards to win the championship were +5000, ranking second to last in the league, and the last in the league is tonight's opponent Toronto Raptors!

It can be seen that after Bosh left, the Raptors' lineup has declined to what extent. It used to be a strong team in the playoffs, but now it has suddenly become the bottom one in the Eastern Conference. Riano also had to keep a low profile.

In the warm-up session before the start of the game, Li Kaiming finally met his college teammate and good brother Elliott Williams whom he hadn’t seen for a long time. Li Kaiming punched the latter hard in the chest, which hurt Williams grimace in pain.

"Okay boy, the body has been trained well, much stronger than before!" Li Kaiming joked, it seems that Williams is still under a lot of pressure in the team. I haven't seen him for a few months, and his body is much stronger than before. It can be seen that the training must be very hard, and the competition within the team is also very fierce. After all, the team is now rebuilding from a bad situation, and everyone wants to seize this opportunity to take the lead.

Williams smiled and rubbed his chest muscles, "No, if I don't train hard, maybe I will be squeezed out by those second-round picks or even undrafted picks! DeMar DeRozan, the core of the current team, is Take the same position as me, if I lose my position as the team's sixth man, then my life will be too much of a failure!"

Hearing Williams' short narration and confident words, Li Kaiming felt a little relieved about the latter's situation. He was afraid that with this guy's fun-loving temper, if he couldn't control himself in Toronto and degenerated, Then this life will be over, after all, he has heard about the reputation of Jiama University.

After Williams finished talking about his situation, he sat down next to Li Kaiming and turned his head to Li Kaiming, with an envious expression in his eyes, "It's you, you are so awesome! Forty plus triple-double is 50 points, and now the whole league is talking about you, saying that you have a bright future, maybe you will be the next MVP-level star!"

Li Kaiming winked at Williams after listening, "How is it? Now you know how powerful I am? Do you want to come to Washington to hang out with me? LeBron and the others form the Big Three. We are not enough, so we can only form the Big Three." A two giants, when the time comes, meet them and see if their three giants are stronger or our two giants are stronger!"

Williams curled his lips, "Put it down, you think I'm a big-name star, can I decide where to go? My daily goal is to train well, and first determine my position in the team , It's good to play with the ball, I'm really afraid that I will be replaced by others one day, after all, this platform has never lacked talented players..."

The competition in the NBA is so fierce that even lottery picks like Elliott Williams have a sense of crisis. The pressure on players hovering on the fringes of the league can be imagined.

However, Li Kaiming is still very optimistic about his good brother. Although the current team's core DeRozan and Williams are in the same position, the latter can still average nearly 20 minutes per game, which can be regarded as one of the starting players. The person with the longest playing time outside.

He knows Williams' diligence. Although this guy always seems to be out of line in life, he is still very reliable in basketball.

After the two talked for a while, they each returned to the warm-up half of their teams. Before leaving, Williams also said to Li Kaiming that his goal tonight was to be able to dunk Li Kaiming once. When a teammate does not have such an opportunity, if he can catch the latter who is currently the hottest player in the league, maybe he can also take this opportunity to increase his reputation!

After hearing Williams' plan, Li Kaiming just smiled and said, "I'm waiting for you!"

As for whether he will put water on the court, only he himself knows, but Williams knows Li Kaiming, he knows that the possibility of such a thing happening is not high, so if he wants to accomplish tonight's goal, You have to do it yourself.

The time came to seven o'clock in the evening, and the game kicked off with a whistle from the referee on the spot!

The Raptors are worthy of being the team with the lowest odds of winning the championship given by spinach. The overall style of the team perfectly matches the record ranking and winning odds.

And what is the specific style of the team, that is, the entire team is only weak in two aspects, the offense is not good, and the defense is not good.

Even though the Wizards players didn't feel good tonight, the Raptors actually allowed the Wizards to score 38 points in the first quarter. This 38 points is also a new high for the Wizards in a single quarter this season!

Li Kaiming generally doesn't like to punch hard when facing a weak team. He likes to fight against a strong team and the critical moment of the game, so he spends most of the first quarter paddling, and the number of attacks by himself is very small, but Even so, he still scored 8 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block in a single quarter. It is worth mentioning that the only block was given to his good brother Elliott Williams...

After the latter came off the bench in the first quarter, he was ready to complete the goal he set before the game in the first attack. How could Li Kaiming let this guy easily achieve his wish, so he simply rewarded the latter with a big cap!

Of course, Li Kaiming didn't have much playing time in the first quarter, and was replaced by Sanders after only playing for less than 8 minutes. The end of Li Kaiming means the appearance of another big devil, Arenas.

After the game against the Bulls, Li Kaiming's stimulation to Arenas directly made Arenas go all out in tonight's game, and the sad Toronto Raptors became a punching bag.

After the halftime game, the Wizards led the Raptors 71 to 53 at home by 18 points. The 71 points were not only the Wizards' highest halftime score this season, but also the league's highest halftime score this season.

In this era where a team can't score triple digits at every turn, 71 points in the half is almost equivalent to poking a hole in the sky. All the fans are shocked by the terrifying firepower of the Washington Wizards jaw dropped!

And tonight's live commentator, Joyce Demps, told the audience that the game was over directly after halftime, "The Washington Wizards lost suspense in the game in just halftime. Just rubbing the face of the Raptors on the ground!"

When the team is in a good situation, it is naturally impossible for Li Kaiming to play for a long time. He only played 14 minutes in the half, 8 of 6, 3 of 2 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, 16 points, 8 rebounds and 10 assists. A double-double was achieved in just half court, but this double-double is not an inside version of a double-double. From the data point of view, it looks more like a tall guard or an all-around small forward.

Instead, the substitute Arenas played the most minutes in the team. Sanders probably saw that he was in good shape today, so he simply gave him the most time to collect enough data.

Arenas played 18 minutes in the half, scoring 17 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals. The statistics are not weaker than at the peak, and many fans began to speculate whether Arenas is back.

After returning from the second half of the game, the Raptors played a wave of offensive climax under the leadership of DeMar DeRozan, but they were quickly suppressed by Li Kaiming with two consecutive three-pointers. Didn't make a single wave...

With the whistle of the referee, the Washington Wizards beat the Toronto Raptors 121 to 98 at home, achieving their eighth victory since the start of the game, and still leading the Eastern Conference record rankings.

Li Kaiming only played 24 minutes and scored a triple-double of 28 points, 12 rebounds and 15 assists. Miami Heat's LeBron James and Boston Celtics guard Rajon Rondo each have one.

The highest scorer in the game was Arenas. He scored 28 points, 31 rebounds and 4 assists in 3 minutes, and his efficiency gradually improved. This made tonight's commentator Joyce Demps sigh with emotion. If Arenas and Li Kaiming If there are no contradictions, they must be a very suitable duo.

Li Kaiming's good brother Elliott Williams did not complete the goal before the game, but his performance in the game was not bad. He scored 11 points and 4 rebounds and shot 44% from the field. It sounds a bit low, but in this era, this level is basically the average level of outsiders.
