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

As soon as the game started, Arenas returned to the home court with the confidence to win, and scored 1 assist and 1 three-pointer in a row at the MCI Center, and the Magic also led the Wizards 5-0.

But no one thought that the Wizards and Li Kaiming would sit still and wait for death. Just when this idea first appeared in the minds of the fans at the scene, the Wizards served to the frontcourt, and then Li Kaiming took the ball from Hinrich's hands.

"After Li Kaiming came to the frontcourt, there was no pick-and-roll or cover for Kirk Hinrich. He directly asked for the ball from Hinrich's hands!" Commentator Hayward slightly raised his voice. At the same time, the same What is mentioned is also the hearts of the audience at the scene and in front of the screen.

Everyone wanted to see how Li Kaiming would respond to Arenas' menacing attack.

Under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of people, after Li Kaiming directed his teammates to open up space for him with gestures, facing Ryan Anderson's defense, he dropped the ball and started a single from outside the three-point line.

Ryan Anderson is a very standard white shooter at the 4th position. He is good at three-pointers without the ball. He was selected with the 2008st overall pick in the first round in 21. He averaged 7 points per game last season and made 37% of his three-pointers. Relying on this one-handed three-pointer, he successfully gained a foothold in the league.

Of course, the common problem of this white big shooter Anderson is the same. The most typical one is that he is not good at defending, especially not good at defending fast players.

Facing such a defender, Li Kaiming can naturally play with ease. He made a small change in front of the ball first, and Ryan Anderson barely followed, but there were already some stumbling under his feet, but this small change of direction was just It was just an appetizer before Li Kaiming's breakthrough, and it was part of the rhythm of his breakthrough.

Just when Anderson breathed a sigh of relief and was glad that he had not been passed by Li Kaiming, Li Kaiming suddenly burst out with all his speed. At the same time, his right arm was fully extended. After dribbling, he used his wingspan of [-] meters to directly hit an Ah Len Iverson-style super large forward change of direction!

Li Kaiming's top-notch wingspan, coupled with abnormal speed and explosive power, super long stride, and made a head-shrugging fake like Iverson, after such a set, he was already on the verge of collapse Anderson was completely defeated by Li Kaiming on the defensive end!

His consciousness could only react and control his body to move in the direction that Li Kaiming had misled before he changed direction. In addition, Li Kaiming's speed was too fast, so he was simply knocked out by more than a meter by Li Kaiming!

So for the next time, he could only watch Li Kaiming break through to the three-point line, and then make a direct mid-range shot from a small step inside the free throw line!

Since Howard was a bit embarrassed by Li Kaiming's basket in the first game of the season, and was also dunked, so before tonight's game, he specially watched a lot of videos of Li Kaiming attacking the basket, just to find Li Kaiming when defending weakness.

At this time, facing Li Kaiming who successfully broke through the line defense and broke in, Howard stayed under the basket and was eager to try. This ball was the beginning of his revenge!

But what he didn't expect was that at this time, Li Kaiming was no longer the person who only wanted to attack the basket and shoot three-pointers. He knew how powerful Howard's defense was at the basket, so he simply didn't go to the basket. It is easier to find a place to shoot in such a large area in the middle distance than to go to the basket!

So even though Howard reacted immediately and rushed towards Li Kaiming, Li Kaiming's mid-range shot fell into the basket with a bang.

5 is better than 2!

The commentators Hayward and Ross stretched out their arms in celebration at the same time, "Oh my god, Li Kaiming's change of direction is too big! I really can't figure out why a [-] meter height is about the same as a center forward A player who can make Allen Iverson moves?"

Faced with Hayward's amazement, Rose, who was sitting next to him, shook his head helplessly, "Ghost knows what's going on. It's not enough for God to create a Kevin Durant. Do you want to mass-produce one?"

"If I remember correctly, before Li Kaiming entered the league, the template given to him by NBA scouts was Tim Duncan, right?" Hayward smiled and asked Rose next to him.

Rose also thought of this question, and immediately said with a smile, "The scouts really misjudged this time. Li Kaiming is not like Duncan at all except for his height! If you say his template is Kevin Du I think Rand is more appropriate!"

In fact, these two commentators misunderstood the scouts. NBA scouts are definitely the most vicious group of people in the world. Their judgments of most players can be confirmed many years later, which shows their professional standards. high.

The scouts' judgment on Li Kaiming is basically based on the latter's performance in the NCAA. However, Li Kaiming in the NCAA period and the current Li Kaiming can be said to be completely different players.

This kind of change is like changing from a young Jordan to Jordan. He was originally a jumping man with excellent physical fitness who can only play without the ball and the basket, and his defense in the NCAA is also quite good, but after entering the league, he became One of the top scorers in the league, oh no, maybe there is no need for the top scorer. This kind of contrast is like an NBA scout. If you hire a bad old man with the most accurate calculations from a distant country in China, he will have to overturn the fuck!

Li Kaiming responded to Arenas' provocation with a beautiful goal, and the fans at the MCI Center started cheering immediately!

The Magic served to Arenas. The latter dribbled the ball to the frontcourt with a gloomy face. Facing Hinrich's defense, he directly changed to lead Hinrich by half a body, and then directly used the ball protector to top the ball. With Hinrich breaking through to the inside, he made a difficult shot against Brac's frame guard, but failed to score.

It seems that Li Kaiming's goal stimulated him, and Arenas couldn't wait to respond.

Hinrich went to help defend Arenas, and naturally only Li Kaiming and Hinrich were left under the basket to protect the backcourt rebounds.

However, under the basket surrounded by tall people, it would be nice if Hinrich would not be trampled to death by a few big men, and he still wants to grab a rebound?

Therefore, the battle for rebounds became Howard vs. Li Kaiming.

However, Li Kaiming's rebounding ability is still not good enough. Facing some insiders who are shorter than him or have poor physical fitness, he can still rely on his physical advantage to win a few. However, against the monster Howard who has been the rebounding champion for many times, the latter's physical fitness is not good enough. Compared to him, it was no less than a concession, so the rebound was naturally snatched away by Howard.

Fortunately, Howard's ability to hold the ball under the basket and Li Kaiming's rebounding ability are about the same, and this guy seems to be very confident in his offensive ability. After grabbing the offensive rebound, he directly hit Li Kaiming and then shot.

Li Kaiming even stood under the basket with his hands raised high. He didn't even jump, and Howard couldn't push him, so he could only twist his body in the air and barely make a shot.

The powerful upper body muscles give Warcraft a strong confrontation ability, but it also makes his work at the basket extremely rough.

Fans always blame James for his poor skills and physical strength. In fact, Howard's roughness is much more outrageous than James, so in the latter part of his career, after his physical decline, no team would want him immediately, and he even played in the Fujian Island League. I can't even understand it, so I can only do some activities to create new life with hot girls there.

The result of Howard's missed layup was that although Li Kaiming lost a backcourt rebound, he successfully defended against Howard's strong play at the basket, and then took off in time to pick up the second backcourt rebound.

Hinrich came over to catch the ball and dribbled it to the frontcourt. Li Kaiming stepped forward to cover. Anderson had already been passed by Hinrich once before, so this time he defended more inside and wanted Arenas to squeeze the screen.

But Li Kaiming's cover was very solid. Arenas felt like his lungs were about to be squeezed out, but he was still stuck by Li Kaiming.

In desperation, Anderson had to switch defenses with Arenas. Hinrich did not choose to break through Anderson this time. Howard's frame protection under the basket was too threatening, and he was not sure.

Therefore, after switching defenses, Li Kaiming directly pushed Arenas to the waist position, and at the same time, the rest of the Wizards also cooperated very well to open up space, leaving room for Li Kaiming to single out Arenas.

The first time Li Kaiming got into a good position, Hinrich, who retreated to the outside, passed the ball in.

The first quarter of the game has not yet reached halfway, and the two protagonists of tonight's game have already met. How can this not make the people watching the game excited?

In the commentary booth, the two commentators Hayward and Rose both raised their voices, "Li Kaiming used the pick-and-roll to force the Magic to switch defenses, and he faced Gilbert Arenas! Hinrich passed the ball! The Wizards Pull away the rest of the team, Li Kaiming wants to single-handedly fight Arenas!"

Following the wonderful narration by the two commentators, the fans on the scene stared at the field eagerly. Many people even stood up and stretched their necks to look at the big screen above the arena. The pitch is clearer on the big screen.

The on-site director also knew how to use the camera. Almost at the same moment, all the cameras on the field locked on Li Kaiming and Arenas, not even letting go of the expressions on their faces.

When Arenas saw that the enemy was right in front of him, and he wanted to score on him, he immediately became angry.

All the muscles in his body were mobilized, which was the power of hatred, "Rookie, I will let you know what cruelty is!" Arenas gritted his teeth and said a trash talk.

"Oh? Really?" Li Kaiming smiled slightly. At the same time as he kicked off the ball, the strength of his lower body exploded, and at the same time his broad back directly pressed against Arenas' face!

Arenas only felt a burst of huge power coming from in front of him, the hatred on his face hadn't disappeared yet, but it was mixed with some surprise at this moment.

How could this guy be so powerful?

As early as when Li Kaiming was selected by the Wizards, Arenas had a one-on-one matchup with Li Kaiming. At that time, although he couldn't defend against the latter's back-up, the gap in strength was not that big.

But what he didn't expect was that in just the past few months, Li Kaiming's strength had increased rapidly like a drug. According to Arenas's estimation, if Li Kaiming's strength was pure strength, he could be regarded as one of the best in the entire league. , only slightly worse than those super big centers!

As soon as the idea appeared in Arenas' mind, the mountain-like figure in front of him came with an even greater force than before, directly interrupting the former's train of thought, and then he was forced to retreat. Two steps forward!

After two attempts, Li Kaiming has successfully reached the deepest part of the Magic's defensive formation from a position more than one step inside the three-point line.
