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

Now that the Wizards are too far behind, Sanders simply filled the playing time of the starters again. Li Kaiming and others played again, preparing to use the time when the opposite starter was absent to narrow the point difference as much as possible.

In the second quarter, the Wizards served. Hinrich faced Nate Robinson, which was much easier than facing Rondo, so he dribbled the ball directly to play the frontcourt. After picking and rolling with Li Kaiming, he faced the big baby Davis. , a direct rhythm change, and then broke through to the basket and hit the basket with one hand, scoring the first sports game score since the opening!

23 is better than 35!

The Celtics served to Little Potato Robinson. The latter quickly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. After a quick change of direction, he leaned on Hinrich, who was halfway past him, and went directly to the basket. Brac Robinson's layup was missed by the latter's interference. Li Kaiming squeezed away from Eldon to get the rebound, and then handed it to Hinrich to dribble to the frontcourt.

The Celtics' substitute still defended Li Kaiming according to the starting strategy, so the latter simply gave up the opportunity to his teammates. Hinrich used the pick-and-roll to break through to the free throw line and was blocked by the two insiders of the Celtics. So he directly passed the ball to Li Kaiming on the outside, and West, who was defending Nick Young, let go of Nick Young and came to make up for the defense. Hit!

26 is better than 35!

The Wizards came up and played a wave of 5-0 directly, closing the point difference to single digits. Doc Rivers immediately called a timeout, but did not perform a rotation, but said a few words of defensive attention to the players Matters, and then let the bench lineup back on the field.

After a timeout, the Celtics served the ball. After Robinson dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, he broke through with the help of a screen, attracting the help defense and giving the ball to the big baby Davis who was open in the middle distance on the other side. Li Kaiming immediately returned to his defensive position , but the reaction was still a bit slow, and Davis made a mid-range shot.

26 to 37, the point difference returned to double digits again.

Seeing that under his own guidance, the team's bench lineup stabilized the situation, Doc Rivers next to the Celtics bench let out a sigh of relief.

With 8 minutes left in the second quarter, Sanders carried out the first lineup rotation of the second quarter, replacing Yi Jianlian who had had a chance for a long time, and then came up with a five-out lineup, and Li Kaiming swung to No. 5 again bit position.

Seeing Li Kaiming and Yi Jianlian appearing at the same time after a long absence, the Huaguo fans in front of the TV were all refreshed!finally come!

Doc Rivers on the other side of the court was a little puzzled after seeing Sanders' rotation, because the Wizards' five-out lineup was not used much, and due to the limited defensive playing time, analysts from other teams It is impossible to effectively analyze this lineup, and it is impossible to see the depth of this lineup.

But judging from the team lineup, the strength of this lineup must not be much stronger, so Rivers put the starting players on the bench again, and prepared to continue to let the bench players try the strength of the opposite side.

After the game came back, the Wizards served the frontcourt ball. After Hinrich received the ball, he directly gave the ball to Li Kaiming on the outside. Davis knew that Li Kaiming's outside line was very accurate, so he didn't dare to let it go, so he followed. Li Kaiming directly played the ball Breakthrough, Elden's height and weight are here, his lateral movement can't keep up at all, so Li Kaiming's breakthrough attracted Davis' help defense, and after the latter completely followed in, Li Kaiming sent the ball to the bottom corner Yi Jianlian flicked it!

Yi Jianlian has been in ambush here for a long time, and he shoots directly after receiving the ball. He has been practicing this rhythm of shooting every day for the past two months. Now is the time to test the results of his training!

Shoot, the ball goes in!

39 is better than 42!

Rivers on the sidelines frowned. There was something yellow in the bottom corner, and he could score when he came up, and it was a three-pointer!

The Celtics' offense was given to Davis on the inside. The latter used his body to force Yi Jianlian and quickly suppressed to the basket. However, Li Kaiming interfered with the throw and Yi Jianlian got the rebound.

The Wizards quickly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. Hinrich dribbled the ball and used the screen to break through. Li Kaiming followed along. The two attracted three people on the opposite side. Hinrich saw the opportunity and passed the ball to the same side at 45 degrees Nick Young.

Nick Young swayed Delonte West who was jumping over with a fake move, and then made a steady three-pointer!

42 is better than 42!

In the blink of an eye, the 6-point gap just now was wiped out by the Wizards in an instant!

Doc Rivers couldn't sit still anymore, he immediately stood up and called a timeout. The firepower of the strange lineup on the opposite side was a bit fierce, and the Celtics' substitute was directly beaten!

Due to the excellent performance of this five-out lineup, Sanders decided to keep them on the court, while the Celtics on the opposite side used this timeout to allow the starters who had rested for most of the quarter to return to the court.

The Celtics gave Pierce a singles for the first time. The latter used his skillful post-up technique to turn over and make a jumper in the middle distance.

42:44.

As soon as Rondo returned, he immediately strangled Hinrich with his strong defense. In desperation, Li Kaiming once again became the core of the team.

Garnett was still concentrating on defending Li Kaiming while harassing him with trash talk. Li Kaiming dribbled the ball and looked for opportunities outside the three-point line.

Yes, the Celtics let Garnett defend the latter no matter what position Li Kaiming plays.

The Celtics' defensive system is very complete, and now it is impossible to use a simple pick-and-roll to find O'Neal to play.

Thinking of this, Li Kaiming stretched out his hand to ask Nick Young to pick and roll. Seeing this scene, whether it was Garnett defending Li Kaiming, or Braden and Victor in the commentary, these people were a little confused!

If it is to displace the big and play the small, shouldn't the small man hold the ball and the big man cover, why is the Wizards still playing against others?

Garnett and Ray Allen, who had never encountered such a situation, naturally chose to switch defenses.

Just as Ray Allen lowered his center of gravity to defend Li Kaiming's breakthrough, the latter directly made a three-pointer from the spot!

Ray Allen:?

Garnett:?

Braden and Victor on the commentary seat widened their eyes, "Can you still play like this?"

Ray Allen was already half a head shorter than Li Kaiming, but he didn't react this time, and he didn't cause any interference to Li Kaiming. The latter's three-pointer fell into the basket with a bang.

45 to 44!The Wizards trailed by 14 points at the end of the first quarter, but with 3 minutes left before the end of the second quarter, they directly overtook the score!

Doc Rivers on the sidelines clenched his fists and shouted to the players on the court, "Don't let him shoot three-pointers!"

The Celtics served, and this opportunity came from Ray Allen. The latter is the greatest shooter after Reggie Miller. After being shot by Li Kaiming, his mentality was still stable. The corner is a hit!

45 is better than 47!

Braden on the commentary booth began to get excited, "The battlefield between the two sides suddenly came out of the three-point line. The Wizards have hit consecutive three-pointers in the past few rounds, and Ray Allen on the Celtics side Retaliate immediately!"

Victor next to him asked, "Who do you think can win from the perimeter!"

"Of course it's the Celtics. They have Ray Allen. He is the number one off-ball shooter in history in my mind. On this court, no one can beat him on three-pointers, and Paul Pierce's The three-pointer is also very good!" Braden said without thinking.

"Have you forgotten Li Kaiming? He can now average 4 three-pointers per game, and his three-point shooting percentage is the league's best!" Victor reminded Braden.

Braden shook his head, "Lee is amazing, but this is Ray Allen!"

During the exchange between the two, the Wizards had already served to the frontcourt. This time, the Celtics defended Li Kaiming's three-pointer very tightly, almost airtight!

So Li Kaiming repeated his old trick and asked Hinrich to come over to cover. Rondo and Garnett thought that Li Kaiming was going to use his height to directly pull on Rondo's head. .

But this time Li Kaiming didn't throw it for himself, because after the pick-and-roll, Hinrich was directly emptied by Rondo, and the latter had already run beyond the 45-degree three-point line on the other side at this time, and there was no defense.

Taking advantage of the good vision brought by his height, Li Kaiming directly took the ball with both hands and threw it into Hinrich's hands!

Hinrich catches the ball and shoots for a three-pointer!

48 is better than 47!

"Damn! This guy's pass can't be prevented!" Doc Rivers shook his fist angrily.

In desperation, the Celtics had to change their defensive strategy against Li Kaiming again. Fortunately, they had Garnett, and they could come up with a single-defense tactic that other teams could not even imagine.

And after these few rounds, Garnett started to work hard on the defensive end, because Rivers told him that if you want to win today, you have to guard against the champion on the opposite side!

Even Li Kaiming, who is almost incomprehensible on the offensive end, is a bit tricky against the former when the hard special shows his housekeeping skills.

Tall and long arms, like a Spider-Man, and fast, defensive awareness is also first-class, such a player who will have a headache to match.

Although Li Kaiming was not defended to death, at least his efficiency was not as high as before, and Harder could use his long arms to interfere with Li Kaiming's passing route. In the third quarter, Li Kaiming actually made two pass errors, both of which were Baijia Courtesy of Nate.

Garnett's seriousness on the defensive end, coupled with the lineup gap between the two sides, in the last few minutes of the third quarter, the point difference was quickly widened again.

When the halftime whistle sounded, the Celtics once again widened the point difference to 9 points, leading 65 to 56.

Li Kaiming played almost all 24 minutes in the half, and only got a break in the last 30 seconds of the second quarter. He made 13 of 6 in the half, including 5 of 3 three-pointers. He scored 18 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists. Although his efficiency is not as good as before , but the score is still the highest for both players.

The rest of the Wizards regained their touch in the second quarter. Nick Young performed the best, scoring 11 points and 2 rebounds. Qi scored 5 points and 6 rebounds, Yi Jianlian scored 6 points and 5 rebound, and the other players also scored in single digits.

After the first half of the game, the two commentators on the scene have begun to discuss what kind of results the Wizards can achieve this season. After all, judging from this game, the strength of the Wizards must not be as strong as their record shows. To the real championship team, there is a natural disadvantage in the lineup.
