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

No one at the scene could have imagined that the Wizards, which seemed to be rubbed on the ground by the 76ers in the first half, suddenly rose after returning from the third quarter. Not to mention 35 points in a single quarter, they still prevented the 76ers from winning the third quarter. With 25 points, the Wizards closed the 14-point gap to 4 points in one quarter.

Doug Collins, who was standing next to the 76ers' bench, regretted it very much now. If he could call a timeout after the Wizards played a 5-0 game in the third quarter, maybe things would be different now.

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in this world, so now Collins can only focus on the next fourth quarter. The current score of the two sides is 77 to 73. Who can win this game depends on the fourth quarter. up.

"Remember, don't make a three-pointer from the corner on the opposite side. If Li Kaiming breaks through, he should flank the top line in advance. If the top line misses, then hand him over to Hawes on the inside line. No one is allowed to miss the bottom corner!" Collins Draw a large circle at two places in the bottom corner of the tactical board, and then poke it a few times with a marker pen.

In the third quarter, they were directly overturned by the Wizards' sudden three-point wave, so it was absolutely impossible for Collins to give the Wizards another open three-point opportunity in the fourth quarter, especially the three-pointer from the corner.

The Wizards' shooters Nick Young, Hinrich and Lewis are all very good at corner three-pointers, and corner three-pointers are generally the two with the highest shooting percentage among the five directions outside the line, so Collins made it In theory, there is no problem with this decision.

With less than 1 minute left before the crucial fourth quarter, Russell Curtis in the commentary glanced at Sean Maxey next to him, and then asked, "Sean, what do you think of the Wizards?" The adjustment in the third quarter, and the counterattack they played in the third quarter?"

Sean Maxey sighed, "Sanders' rotation really surprised me, he dared to directly bring out a Rashard Lewis in the second half who hadn't even played a few games, and the latter gave me a dumbfounded look as soon as he came up Already!"

"Who isn't? I'm also dumbfounded. Sanders' choice this time is really too risky." Curtis also interjected.

"But a risk is a risk. From the point of view of results theory, Sanders won the bet. After Rashad Lewis came on the court, he played a very important role in pulling the Wizards space. The reason why the Wizards fell behind in the first half was that After Li Kaiming broke through, he was double-teamed and passed the ball out, and his outside teammates had no way of responding to 76's letting you go." Maxi explained quickly.

Curtis nodded in agreement, "Yes, Rashad Lewis hit a three-pointer in the first round after he came on the court, and it seems that the three-pointer feeling is contagious. After Rashad helped Li Kaiming open the space , Nick Young and Hinrich, who struggled in the first half, have recovered their touch, and I watched some of tonight's game!"

Just as Maxi was about to speak again, he suddenly found that the players from both sides of the game had already stood on the court, so he changed his explanation and said, "The players from both sides have returned to the court, let's see together, who will win the game tonight ? Can the Wizards continue their crazy performance in the third quarter? Can the 76ers not respond in the fourth quarter?"

After Maxi's opening vernacular in the fourth quarter fell, the referee at the bottom line gave the ball to 76ers center Hawes, who directly served to John Wall, and the fourth quarter began!

Due to the start of the third quarter and the brilliant performance of Lewis' lineup, Sanders still maintained this lineup at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

John Wall dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, called the power forward Brand to come out to cover, and then faced Li Kaiming's harassment on the line, he directly accelerated and passed the latter.

Blatche, who was under the basket, saw Wall enter the penalty area and immediately went up to meet him, but the latter hit the ball and passed the basketball from under Bracci's crotch to Hawes who was under the basket. It was too late to defend. When he thought he was about to lose another 2 points at the basket this time, a figure descended from the sky and slapped Hawes's layup directly on the backboard!

Brac, who came back to his senses, took off the rebound and handed it to Hinrich.

Li Kaiming is naturally the one who came back from supplementary defense. Although he is not conscious enough on the defensive end, and his lateral movement speed cannot allow him to keep up with Wall's breakthrough, it is still very easy to block a small Hawes, especially It's the latter's movement that is so slow that it seems to him like a slow-motion replay of a movie.

This ball is also Hawes, and Li Kaiming probably won't be able to catch it.

And after Li Kaiming blocked the shot, the fans at the MCI scene also burst into cheers!

Many fans were still immersed in the home team's tsunami-like offense in the third quarter, but they didn't expect Li Kaiming to serve a spicy hot pot to the center of the 76ers in the fourth quarter!

The atmosphere of the audience was once again mobilized by Li Kaiming's block.

Hinrich dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and asked Blatche to come out to cover. The reason why he didn't call Li Kaiming was that Hawes was a 216 big center.

Hinrich used the cover to successfully face Hawes' defense, but the 76ers did not give up defense easily on the outside. John Wall, who defended Hinrich, followed him all the time.

Brac has no range on the outside, so he can only follow along.

At the same time, the rest of the Wizards began to run without the ball on the outside. After Li Kaiming and Lewis performed a simple off-ball screen, Li Kaiming suddenly exploded with speed and went straight to the inside, while Lewis was Quickly ejected.

The 76ers players had no choice but to switch defenses, because if they didn't change, they would give the Wizards an open spot!

Li Kaiming's explosive power gave him another chance to attack easily. Hinrich in the middle saw Li Kaiming run into the three-point line, and directly pocketed the ball to Li Kaiming who rushed into the three-point line.

The latter took three steps directly after receiving the ball. This distance is really sufficient.

Only at this time did Hawes realize that the ball was in Li Kaiming's hands. At the same time, Iguodala, who was switching defenses with Brand, also chased Li Kaiming's side. Arm to cut the ball in Li Kaiming's hand.

Iguodala's defense at the small forward position is quite good, probably second only to James and Ci Shiping, and what Iguodala is best at on the defensive end is cutting the ball, always cutting the ball Fast, accurate and ruthless.

Originally, Iguodala thought that this time would be one of his successful defenses over the years, but when he slapped the ball in Li Kaiming's hand hard, his expression froze on the spot!

Because the basketball in Li Kaiming's hand is not moving at all!

How can it be?Iguodala's eyes widened, and his eyes were full of disbelief. Even if James came, Iguodala had the confidence to let the ball shake.

What a hell!

And just when Iguodala was still amazed at the stability and strength of Li Kaiming's ball protection, a huge force was transmitted along the position where his torso was in contact with Li Kaiming. Before Iguodala could react, he Li Kaiming's ball protector directly opened a distance.

During the breakthrough process, the slightest loss of position by the defender can make the result of this attack completely different, not to mention it is still at such a critical moment?

After getting rid of Iguodala's entanglement, Li Kaiming's speed exploded completely, and he directly took the last step of a three-step layup, and then pulled the bow with one hand, and directly scored a tomahawk dunk to win the Wizards' first lead in the fourth quarter. one cent!

75 is better than 77!

After Li Kaiming made a dunk, the 76ers center Hawes rushed to the scene. He watched the shaking of the basket above his head and swallowed without a trace.

"Damn it, if I was under the basket just now, I'm afraid I would have been dunked by this guy again!" Hawes said happily in his heart.

The 76ers served the attack. After John Wall took the ball to the frontcourt, he broke through again with the cover of the inside line. After attracting double-teams, he passed the ball to Iguodala who cut into the inside line. Now that he is getting older, he still has a knee injury, and the defense is even worse, and he can't keep up with Iguodala's air cuts.

Brac on the inside was transferred out by Hawes' pick-and-roll, and Iguodala made a layup and scored before Li Kaiming could make up the defense.

75 is better than 79!

Hinrich received Blach's pass and moved it to the frontcourt. The pick-and-roll tactic was delayed and directly broken by the 76ers' center. He had to hand the ball to Li Kaiming, who faced Brand's drastic physical change. Just pull it up and throw it away after the space is cleared.

In the third quarter, his teammates felt very good, so Li Kaiming was suppressing his desire to make shots, and focused his energy on creating opportunities for his teammates. Now that his teammates don't know how to play, they naturally need him It's time to stand up.

Since the beginning of the regular season, the 76ers have played two games against the Wizards. Brand’s main defense against Li Kaiming has already gained experience. Of course, this experience does not mean that he knows how to target Li Kaiming to make him less efficient, but rather It is to know under what circumstances the latter will make a move, and whether the move will go in or not.

As a veteran defender who was shot by Li Kaiming in the face, Brand knew when he saw Li Kaiming's posture that the goal was likely to be scored.

So after being shaken away by Li Kaiming, he rushed over reflexively, then stretched out his arms to cover Li Kaiming's face, and closed his eyes directly to wait for the result.

After a short interval, a clear sound of surfing the net reached Brand's ears.

Brand opened his eyes and looked back, with a bitter smile on his face. Sure enough, this guy entered again!

78 to 79!The Wizards approached the point difference to [-] points. It can be said that after a quarter and a half, the two sides returned to the same starting line again.

After watching this scene, Sean Maxey from the commentary seat smiled and said, "Lee, a two-meter-one center-sized player, can actually dribble and break through the three-point line by himself like a guard or a forward, and he can even dribble from behind. A step-back jump shot is really rare!"

"Not only is it rare, his skill is almost unique in the league in my opinion, and he doesn't throw around, and his hit rate is very high." Curtis next to him added.

Sean Maxey sighed, "Perhaps people's impressions have changed because of him. Before, everyone thought that people of the yellow race were not good at playing basketball. Even if someone can survive in the NBA, only a big center like Yao Ming can do it." , The yellow race does not seem to be associated with viewing and violence."

Curtis smiled and said, "Who is playing better than Lee in the league now? He can contribute a top five goal in every game. I have a hunch that his highlights this season may be better than 80.00% of NBA players' careers. The collection is even more exciting!”
