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

After the Wizards grabbed the rebound, Hinrich dribbled to the frontcourt.

After Li Kaiming came to the frontcourt, he directly pushed Anderson to the waist position inside the three-point line. If you have sharp eyes, you will find that the position where Li Kaiming asked for the ball with his back is exactly the same as the position where Howard asked for the ball in singles in the previous round!

Naturally, the two commentators on the commentary booth could see this clearly, and Hayward had a weird smile on his face, "Li Kaiming asked for the ball with his back at the waist. It seems that he is also trying to learn from Dwight Howard. Same, come to a singles inside the three-point line!"

"Why do I feel that this guy is provoking Howard?" Rose rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

Hayward rolled his eyes, "Brother, it's good to know this kind of thing in your heart, but it's not good to say it out!"

Then the two people looked at each other and laughed at the same time!

If Howard were next to the technical stage at this time, he would definitely not be able to help but rush up to these two people and ask, "Why are you laughing?"

Hayward and Rose will definitely look at each other again, and then the latter will suppress a smile and say, "I think of happy things..."

But even if the things described above did not happen, Howard felt very uncomfortable at this time. He is not a fool, and of course he can see why Li Kaiming deliberately chose this position.

So he clenched his fists, and while using his body to hold Blatche, he focused most of his attention on Li Kaiming.

After Li Kaiming received the ball from the outside line, he imitated Howard just now and turned his back into a face frame. This made Howard standing under the basket feel hot on his face. It's deepened a bit.

I am afraid that if Howard is asked to sign the life-and-death certificate and Li Kaiming enters the octagonal cage for a fight, he will sign without hesitation.

Next, as expected, Li Kaiming also changed the direction of the ball to find a rhythm like Howard, but the two people's perceptions were completely different. If Howard is like a gorilla that just learned to shoot the ball, then Li Kaiming is A serious professional player.

Whether it's the intensity of dribbling, the range of changes in direction, or even the smoothness, Li Kaiming can hang Howard up and beat him!

Naturally, he is not the only one who feels this way, because the commentator Hayward in the commentary box said in a very venomous manner, "Li Kaiming's actions made me want to feed Dwight Howard a banana just now." …”

Hearing Hayward's sharp comments, his colleagues and fans at the scene laughed, and the entire MCI Center was filled with a happy atmosphere.

At this time, Li Kaiming felt that the time was almost up, so he paused, then pulled up the ball and shot a jumper. Of course, he would not completely copy Howard's style of play. If he used a cool change of direction to connect a bulldozer layup like Howard's, , what’s the difference between that and pouring poop on ice cream to serve as chocolate?

So after he changed direction and found the rhythm, he directly made a mid-range pull. Anderson could only react and touch the position of his elbow. Naturally, there would be no interference with his shot. The basketball fell into the basket!

10 is better than 7!

Howard was about to collapse, even if he lost to the Lakers in the finals, he didn't feel so aggrieved. The latter would only make him feel that he or the team was not strong enough, and the match against Li Kaiming made him feel that the court was not strong enough. Banning guns is simply the biggest mistake.

But the grievances are grievances, the game has to continue, after all, there is no dead ball, and the coaches of the two sides have not called a timeout.

The Magic team attacked, Arenas dribbled the ball to the front court, after the pick-and-roll tactic was cracked by the Wizards with a delay, Arenas distributed the ball to Vince Carter on the outside, Carter's timing of receiving the ball was not good, the first time He didn't hold the ball steadily, and after he got it, Nick Young had returned to him.

But Carter is also one of the four shooting guards after all. Facing a junior like Nick Young, he should have a little bit of arrogance, so he directly played singles, and it was a pity that he hit the mid-range jumper.

Blatche desperately held Howard, and Li Kaiming jumped up from the side and took the rebound and gave it to Hinrich.

After the Wizards arrived in the frontcourt, they ran tactics first. The men in the two positions of the horns cut inward along a 45-degree line. Li Kaiming was at the free throw line, and immediately bounced out after covering for one of them.

Anderson was also blocked by a running Wizards player. Seeing that Li Kaiming got an open spot, he immediately called his teammates anxiously for help.

At this time, Arenas was the closest to Li Kaiming. Last time, he failed to defend the inside line. Arenas was thinking of finding a chance to face Li Kaiming on the outside line. Unexpectedly, there was nowhere to find it. time.

So Arenas excitedly switched defenses with Anderson and ran to Li Kaiming.

At this time, the ball was on the opposite side, but after the Wizards players saw Li Kaiming facing Arenas from the outside, they cooperated very well with a pass through the top of the arc and gave the ball to Li Kaiming.

In the commentary box, Hayward's long-lost passion was once again aroused after seeing this scene, "After several rounds of competition between Li Kaiming and Howard, with 8 minutes left in the first quarter, Gilbert Arenas and Li Kaiming faced off again. Last time, Li Kaiming hit Arenas with his back and caused Howard to foul. They scored 4 points in one round. But what will be the outcome this time?"

Under Hayward's explanation, the fans at the scene turned their attention to the big screen above their heads, because at this time the director once again aimed the camera at the two protagonists tonight.

Arenas talked trash in the last round, but Li Kaiming pushed him into it. When they met again this time, Li Kaiming thought that this guy would learn his lesson, but he didn't expect that the idea in his head just came out. Arenas' trash The words drifted into his ears.

"Rookie, let's see how I can prevent you!"

Li Kaiming raised the ball above his head and glanced at Arenas, "Just you?"

Then, taking advantage of Arenas' opportunity to retort, he directly dropped the ball and changed its direction significantly.

Arenas was about to open his mouth to refute, but Li Kaiming suddenly made a movement, and the words he had prepared were blocked in his mouth, and his face turned black from being held back.

However, his defense was very active, and he caught up with Li Kaiming's change of direction in no time.

But for Li Kaiming, who was almost full on the offensive end, a change of direction was not his style, so he began to take advantage of his physical advantage. After the first change of direction, he immediately followed up with a drag step, and the super long step was combined with the suspension movement. The ball was moved out of Arenas' defensive range in one fell swoop!

Arenas was also taken aback, this guy's change of direction was so great!

Therefore, even though he was already complaining secretly in his heart at this time, Arenas still tried his best to move towards the direction of the ball, talking all the rubbish, he must not be slapped in the face!

In fact, Li Kaiming can definitely break through to the three-point line after this drag step, but who wants Arenas to be the defender on the opposite side? It must be a humiliating goal!

So he even waited for Arenas on the spot, and then when the latter was about to reach the ball in his hand, he suddenly quickly adjusted his feet, put the ball together with both hands, pulled up on the spot and shot directly from outside the three-point line!

Arenas was about to see the dawn of victory, but he didn't expect the dawn to disappear so unexpectedly.

It would have been nice for him to be able to keep up with Li Kaiming's second change of direction after he realized it. After all, he is not a defensive fighter. Now that Li Kaiming suddenly pulled up, his body couldn't react at all, so he could only watch Li Kaiming make a jump shot. !

Li Kaiming was flying in the air. After the upward momentum of his body was reduced to 0, he lightly moved his wrist and shot. Under the guidance of his palm, the basketball spun and flew out, drawing a beautiful arc in the air, and finally made a swish Flew into the hoop without even touching the hoop!

13 is better than 7!

The head coach of the Magic, Stan Van Gundy, couldn't stand it anymore. Li Kaiming scored 11 points in less than half a quarter, and his three generals, Howard, was directly stimulated by Li Kaiming into an angry buffalo. Vince Carter After getting a shot, he ran back and forth the rest of the time. Arenas played well on the offensive end but was chased by Li Kaiming on the defensive end.

None of this had anything to do with what he had expected before the game. Moreover, the Magic had only scored 7 points until now. Those who didn't know would have thought that the Wizards' defense was also ranked among the top five in the league!

The game entered the first unofficial timeout tonight. Li Kaiming walked off the field and gave a high five to the coaches and teammates on the bench, and then took the towel from the team staff.

Sanders is in a good mood now. It can be said that the current trend of the game is completely following the best path he thought in his heart. He even pinched his thigh secretly during the timeout to confirm whether this is the best path. dream!

The Magic called a short timeout, so the break ended quickly. Sanders was replaced with a five-way lineup. As Lewis and the rest of the team got better and better, the five-way lineup got more playing time. It's getting longer and longer, and playing time is also advancing significantly.

The Magic team's timeout adjustment was immediate. They used an inside line to attract the defense and then passed inside to outside. The ball was transferred to Vince Carter on the outside. After the latter received the ball, he simply shot from outside the three-point line. The attempt hit successfully.

13:10.

Of course, the Wizards' offense is not vegetarian, especially after taking Lewis, all five of the Wizards were on the outside during the offense, which made Howard, who stayed inside the three-point line, look a little dumbfounded.

However, this situation only lasted a few seconds, because Howard had never defended a strange center like Li Kaiming before, and he immediately followed after reacting.

It is worth mentioning that Howard's movement speed is considered very good among centers. After all, his height is only 208, which is not at the same height level as those big centers who are often 213+, so he can barely keep up with Li Kaiming A breakthrough within the three-point line.

But there is another important consideration for Sanders to take the five-out lineup, that is, in the first quarter, Howard has already suffered a malicious foul, and he will definitely pay attention to his defensive actions in the next time. It is impossible to punish Howard by making fouls.

So the only solution is to use the five-out lineup and use Li Kaiming's strong containment force on the outside to pull Howard out of the penalty area, so that the room for others to break through will be much better!

In fact, as Sanders expected, after the Wizards took the five-out lineup, although the defensive end also dropped by one level, the offensive firepower rose by more than one level.

The five-out lineup almost finished the second half of the first quarter. After the first quarter, the Wizards led the Magic by 35 points 33 to 2.

Although the Magic's inside advantage was very obvious when they were in the five-out lineup, and the Wizards also got a lot of offensive rebounds from Howard, but who made the Magic's inside only grab rebounds...

Whenever Howard makes a few moves under the basket, he has already penetrated the Wizards' inside line...
