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

After the two-game losing streak on November 11, the Wizards immediately arrived in Detroit, Michigan by special plane. On the 19st, they will face the Detroit Pistons at the Palace of Auburn Hills. In the bottom three in the East, since Chauncey Billups and Rasheed Wallace left the team, the most common championship team has lost its glory in the past. down the road.

Although the current record of the Pistons is not very good, the Wizards still dare not take it lightly. After all, even the Bobcats dare to lose. What team can't lose?

Lose to Boston first, Boston loses to the Grizzlies, the Grizzlies lose to the Charlotte Bobcats, and then there is nothing to lose, what else can I do?No more faces.

Fortunately, the nba does not have a relegation system like football, otherwise, according to the meaning of online fans, the Wizards might have been assigned to the cba long ago.

Due to the poor performance of the team for two consecutive games, Li Kaiming has also been training hard these two days, focusing all his attention on the next game, and at the same time letting the players in the team focus on training hard superior.

Since Boston, he has seldom spoken at the pre-match or post-match press conferences, basically answering questions with some caricatures for reporters.

Li Kaiming didn't have time to read what kind of evaluations were made of him and the Wizards on the Internet, but with his knowledge of those brainless blacks, and thinking about it with his toes, he could think of nothing good that those guys couldn't say out of their mouths.

So Li Kaiming simply covered his head and pretended to be dead, and didn't read the comments on the Internet, just pretending that these things hadn't happened yet.

Rashad Lewis arrived in Washington after playing the Boston game. However, due to the necessary physical examination of the players traded by the league officials, Lewis did not play in these two games. He got in touch and said in the news that he would closely focus on the Wizards team with Li Kaiming as the core, and put all his attention on winning for the team.

For such a veteran, Li Kaiming naturally made friends with a respectful attitude. Veterans are called veterans not only because they have richer experience on the field, but also in the locker room. A veteran like this is needed to help him suppress the locker room. After all, no matter how strong he is on the court, he is still a young player under 20 years old in the final analysis.

According to Sanders, Lewis will be able to play after they return to the home court again, that is, the next game against the Philadelphia 23ers on the 76rd. It can be seen that Sanders is also very much looking forward to Lewis' appearance, After all, he couldn't wait to try out his tactics in an official game.

After more than a day and a half of hard training, at six o'clock in the afternoon on the 21st, in the holy place where "the most notorious brawl in nba history" took place, in the Palace of Auburn Hills, with the whistle of the referee on duty, Then tossed the ball in the air and kicked off the Wizards' 12th regular-season game of the season.

As soon as the first quarter came up, the Wizards showed a very obvious inside advantage. Li Kaiming and Brac scored 7 points and 5 points in a single quarter respectively, and their shooting percentages were extremely high. The Pistons Ben Wallace's height of 206 The defensive effect brought by it is unstoppable against a player like Li Kaiming who has no dead ends when shooting sudden passes. Not to mention Li Kaiming, even Blatche can make a few hooks on Wallace's head. Can hit.

Although the Wizards have a significant inside advantage, when it comes to comparing the strength of outside players, the Wizards' outside line is not enough. Although the guard combination of Hinrich and Nick Young can be regarded as not holding back, but carefully At first glance, one is old enough to shoot but can't make breakthroughs, and the other is too young to just take the ball and do it without seeing his teammates.

Looking at the Pistons on the opposite side, Richard Hamilton, the masked man, can match the combined effect of Hinrich and Nick Young. In addition, several other outside players on the opposite side have also exploded. Denistaki scored 7 points in a single quarter by himself and gave up Li Kaiming. After replacing the substitute lineup, the Wizards couldn't watch at all. Basically, they just had to wait for Li Kaiming to come back, so they could barely keep up with the opposing team. Offensive intensity.

Under such circumstances, the Wizards fell behind in the first quarter without any surprises, and fell behind by 17 points in a single quarter 24 to 7.

Seeing that the team was about to repeat the previous mistakes, Li Kaiming couldn't bear it in the second quarter, and simply exploded with all his strength. Facing the Pistons' two little insiders, Li Kaiming scored 18 points in a single quarter with sudden outside shots, while the Wizards The whole team scored 38 points in a single quarter and overtook the score by 3 points after halftime, 55 to 52!

But Li Kaiming's outburst is also more difficult to feel. Sometimes the feel is so confusing. If you keep playing on the court, maybe you can keep the fiery feeling until the end of the game, but as long as you take a break after the game, your body temperature will drop. Down, even with the feel will drop.

Li Kaiming encountered this kind of problem in the third quarter. Even though he subjectively wanted to take more shots and expand the lead as much as possible, so that when he was off the field, he could buy more time for the team's weak substitutes, but God stood on the opposite side tonight. After about 20 minutes of rest, the feeling of how to shoot and what to do in the second quarter completely disappeared, so Li Kaiming tried a few times on the outside and found that the hand feeling was not good. Immediately changed his style of play, focusing on breaking through and driving his teammates.

Fortunately, the Pistons on the opposite side are not the kind of strong offensive team, so after the end of the third quarter, although the point difference was recovered by the Pistons, the Wizards still led the Pistons by 78 point 77 to 1.

Li Kaiming didn't want to try the taste of losing streak, so he applied to play again at the beginning of the fourth quarter, leading the team to fight fiercely with the opponent. Unfortunately, the explosion in the second quarter seemed to completely consume his touch tonight, even though he was close to I haven't tried outside shots in the first quarter, but the outside shooting in the fourth quarter still hasn't recovered, so I can barely use a breakthrough to fight the Pistons on an equal footing.

I don’t know if it’s because the team has bleed with him. When Li Kaiming felt good in the second quarter, Hinrich, Nick Young and El Thorton on the outside of the team also felt very good. But in the second half When Li Kaiming didn't feel good, these people couldn't even make the shot. Li Kaiming even doubted whether these guys had negotiated, and they were bought by Arenas to embarrass him on purpose.

But as soon as this idea appeared in his mind, he immediately rejected it.

Are you kidding me, if Arenas can be so powerful, he can still be traded?

The result of the fierce battle between the two sides for 48 minutes was a 102 tie, so after a short intermission, the two sides entered a 5-minute overtime match.

Because Li Kaiming's touch in the second half was really bad, so even with the addition of the key shooter in the [Peripheral Offensive Badge], he only scored 5 points in 4 minutes of overtime, while the entire Wizards team Only got 8 points, when you only get 4 points in overtime, and those 4 points are half of the team's total points, it is very difficult to win, and the Wizards are no exception.

The Detroit Pistons on the opposite side actually showed a trace of the defense of the winning team in overtime, and Richard Hamilton went all out in overtime, scoring 6 of 5 and 2 of 2 free throws to score 12 points. One person scored more points than the Wizards combined, so it is not surprising that the Wizards lost.

At the end of the game, the Washington Wizards lost to the Detroit Pistons 110 to 115 after an overtime game away, suffering a three-game losing streak.

Li Kaiming played 42 minutes and scored 36 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 steal. The statistics are very luxurious, but in Li Kaiming's view, no matter how luxurious the statistics are without winning, they are useless.

Perhaps Li Kaiming himself did not expect that he actually held the same opinion as his black fans on this topic.

Li Kaiming's black people on the Internet saw that after the Wizards traded Arenas, they went straight to a wave of three-game losing streak, and laughed so hard that they almost grinned to the back of their heads!

"Look, let me just say that the Wizards won so many games before, it must be because of Arenas' presence, but it's a pity that Li Kaiming not only didn't know how to be grateful for the benefits of Arenas, but also kicked the former out. No wonder Arenas is so angry, he directly scolded him by name on his personal Twitter, if it was me, I would scold him too!"

"Arenas is really miserable. He worked so hard to lead the team to No. [-] in the Eastern Conference. In the end, he became a rookie for all his credit. He was kicked out by the management when it was over. Where can he justify..."

"The Wizards have lost three games in a row, and Arenas' achievements are almost wiped out by this trash. Alas! What do the Wizards management think?"

"Don't ask, ask is the league's scoring leader, a rookie of historical level!"

"Damn! Who can't score points without defending? You can't even win a game, and averaging 100 per game is also a waste!"

……

On the night of the 21st, in addition to the Wizards' game, the Orlando Magic, which is also the top four in the East, also had a game, and the Magic won the game that day, so after all the games on the 21st, the Washington Wizards passed a three-game losing streak. Slid directly from the first position in the Eastern Conference to the third in the Eastern Conference.

After losing to the Boston Celtics, the Wizards have given up the first place in the Eastern Conference, with a record of 8 wins and 2 losses and the same record as the Orlando Magic. The Wizards lead 1-0, so the Wizards temporarily retain the second place in the Eastern Conference.

But after the Magic won the winning streak, after the end of the 21st, they officially surpassed the Boston Celtics with a record of 9 wins and 3 losses, becoming the number one in the Eastern Conference. 9 wins and 4 losses, the fourth Bulls 8 wins and 4 losses.

Except for the temporarily stable position of the No. 0.5 Magic team, for the other three teams, the difference in wins between the two adjacent teams is [-]. One game can greatly change the order of the top four seats in the Eastern Conference. .

If the Wizards are still in their current state, they will drop out of the top four in the Eastern Conference if they lose two more games. The fifth Miami Heat has a record of 21 wins and 8 losses after the 5st, and they can reach the top four in the Eastern Conference at any time. .

And if the Heat want to enter the top four, one of the current top four teams will naturally be squeezed out. The other three teams are relatively stable. There is only one unlucky guy who has lost three games in a row.
