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

The Wizards sent the ball to the frontcourt. Li Kaiming turned his back to ask for the ball inside the three-point line. Hinrich passed a high pass to Li Kaiming. After the latter got the ball, he turned around with his left foot as the axis to face the basket. First, he made a feint. .

Anderson guarded Li Kaiming for a while. Knowing that the latter's shot was accurate, he immediately moved his focus forward to prevent Li Kaiming from making a sudden shot.

But Anderson was not good at defending fast players. This move directly gave Li Kaiming an opportunity. He suddenly dropped the ball and broke through from the right. Anderson didn't react, and Li Kaiming directly passed him with one step.

Because Li Kaiming's step was too big, he passed Anderson and was close to the penalty area. Howard under the basket was also ready to go and help Anderson defend.

On the other hand, Li Kaiming did not rush to the basket to attack the basket, but directly pulled up a jumper from outside the penalty area and scored two points!

61:54.

The Wizards served, and this time Vince Carter stood up and held the ball in singles against Nick Young. When he arched his back near the penalty area, he attracted Li Kaiming to help defend, and then passed the ball to Anderson on the outside, who received the ball. The ball hit a three-pointer.

61 is better than 57!

After the third quarter, both sides played very well. The Wizards attacked, and Hinrich handed the ball to Li Kaiming after going to the frontcourt. The Magic's defensive efficiency is too high. Even if the Wizards can run out of tactics, the last shot The hit rate is not high, so it is better to let Li Kaiming single-play Anderson directly, which can create opportunities more easily, and Li Kaiming's single-play success rate is also very high.

After receiving the ball, Li Kaiming directly dropped the ball to break through. He broke away from Anderson and broke into the penalty area. He used a fake shot to attract Howard to help defend. Then he passed the ball to Blatche under the basket, who directly dunked it in with both hands!

63:57.

The Magic attacked. This time Arenas used the pick-and-roll to go to the middle, attracting help from the defense and then passed to Quentin Richardson. The latter shot directly from the mid-range, but unfortunately, the Magic lost the third quarter. a ball.

And Richardson's strike seems to have sounded the horn of the Magic's strike. From this round, the Magic's shooting rate dropped sharply, especially the outside shots, which averaged almost four or five times. It takes one shot to hit one.

On the contrary, under the leadership of Li Kaiming, although the Wizards did not feel explosive, they still maintained a basic shooting percentage. In such a situation of advancing and retreating, Li Kaiming began to rest on the court again in the third quarter. Put it on driving teammates.

After the Magic discovered that their outside drafts were poor, they immediately changed the team's style of play. Everyone rushed to the basket with the ball, and Howard also began to unleash his power at the basket with all his strength.

However, apart from Arenas, the magic team has little threat of breaking through. Vince Carter's physical fitness is very good. He is known as "half man, half god". "Guard" has the highest proportion of outside shots, and the other three, even Allen Iverson, who is the shortest, like to use sharp breakthroughs to score in the penalty area where there are many people.

Insider Ryan Anderson is a pure shooter. It is unrealistic to expect him to break through. Howard can play without the ball, but it is almost meaningless to break through with the ball.

Therefore, although Van Gundy set a strategy for the players to attack the inside in the second half, only point guard Arenas can really implement this strategy.

Howard can indeed dominate the Wizards' interior on the defensive end, but he is really struggling on the offensive end and can only use his physical fitness to grab a few more offensive rebounds.

But the frontcourt rebounds are not as much as you want to grab. As soon as Howard exerts strength in the interior, the Wizards players start to shrink inward, especially after the Magic team made a shot, all the Wizards squeezed into the penalty area , Just to grab rebounds.

In this case, don't say you are a 208 Howard, even if Chamberlain is alive, it is impossible for him to grab five people by himself.

What's more, Li Kaiming also has a way to respond to the fast break. After Howard grabbed two offensive rebounds, Li Kaiming turned around and grabbed the offensive rebound in the next round, and then directly dribbled into the frontcourt by himself, taking advantage of the Magic. The team was empty inside and unsteady on the outside. They rushed in and launched a one-arm dunk, which immediately caused Van Gundy to change his offensive rebounding strategy.

After all, if Howard grabs an offensive rebound, you may not be able to score, but let Li Kaiming start to push and switch from the backcourt, and if Howard has no time to return to the defense, basically it is either a foul or a dunk!

At the end of the third quarter, the Wizards extended the point difference to double digits 89-77, and this was the result of only playing more than half of the first quarter. In the second half, Sanders replaced Hinrich, Li Kaiming and others. That's it, the Magic took the opportunity to chase some points back, otherwise the point difference would be even bigger.

The short inter-section break ended, and the two sides took up their starting lineups one after another, and began the final competition.

The Magic came up with the first attack, Arenas broke through with the ball, attracted double-teams and then passed to Vince Carter on the outside. Odd pie succeeds.

89:79.

Hinrich of the Wizards dribbled the ball forward, and Li Kaiming stepped forward to cover. Hinrich broke through to the waist position and was double-teamed. He passed the ball to Nick Young on the outside. Others thought they would pass the ball again, but Nick Young caught the ball. After the ball was passed, he directly ignored the defense and hit it!

92 is better than 79!

Next to the Magic team bench, Stan Van Gundy's face twitched. Nick Young didn't have convulsions before, but now he has convulsions. This three-pointer almost stabbed the main artery of the Magic team!

When the Magic attacked, Arenas passed the ball to Carter after he went to the frontcourt. The latter was shot in the face by Nick Young. Of course he felt uncomfortable and had to fight back.

After Carter held the ball, he stood as a three-point threat. After slightly shifting Nick Young's defensive focus, he took a step to the side and shot a jumper. Unfortunately, the haze in the third quarter still enveloped him, and the ball did not hit.

Blatche protected the rebound, and Arenas began to prevent Hinrich from catching the ball. Blatche had to give the ball to Li Kaiming. After the latter dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, facing Anderson's defense, the rest of the Magic team was at the center. Under Howard's command, he concentrated on following his opponent. Unexpectedly, Li Kaiming took a step directly from the three-point line!

The basketball crossed a parabola in the air, and fell into the basket with a swish!

95 is better than 79!

Stan Van Gundy only felt his heart bleeding!

Originally, he thought that in the fourth quarter, his team would be able to defend well while slowly recovering the points difference, but he never expected that the Wizards would score two unreasonable three-pointers. , directly hitting the point difference to 16 points!

The fans in the MCI Center cheered and lamented that the Wizards' ball looks a lot better this season. Not only are there explosive dunks, but this kind of unreasonable three-pointers can be seen every game.

In the commentary, Hayward was speechless, "The Orlando Magic ranks third in the league in defensive efficiency, and now it seems so ironic, they can't defend the league's scoring leader, even the rest of the Wizards can't defend live!"

"Oh! My man, I have a different opinion than you," Rose said next to him. "I think it is precisely because Orlando can't guard Li Kaiming that they can't guard other people. You watch the game. In the process, most of Washington's outside opportunities were created by Li Kaiming using his own threats to attract double-teams from the Magic. After a whole game of hand training, if other players feel hot in the fourth quarter, they can throw This kind of ball doesn’t surprise me at all.”

Hayward also nodded. Even he had to admit that Li Kaiming's influence on the offensive end was several times more terrifying than what the data showed!

The game on the court was still going on, but the Magic never regained its touch. Arenas threw himself into the Wizards' penalty area with all his strength, and Howard also went crazy under the basket, but it still didn't help. .

In the fourth quarter, Li Kaiming didn't even have to play his [key shooter] role. On the offensive end, he basically dealt cards from the outside or set pick-and-rolls for his teammates, and put his main energy on the defensive end.

Everyone in the Magic team rushed to the basket like crazy, and Blatche alone couldn't handle it.

Li Kaiming's full dedication on the defensive end relieved Brac a lot of pressure, and the two of them worked together to barely block the Magic's bombing of the penalty area.

The offensive end basically relies on those outside shooters. At the end of the game, the Washington Wizards defeated the Orlando Magic 118 to 104, successfully won the battle for the second seat in the Eastern Conference, and achieved a three-game winning streak. At the same time, he raised his position on the record list by another place.

Li Kaiming played for 32 minutes and made 17 of 11 shots, including 5 of 4 three-pointers and 6 of 5 free throws. He scored 31 points, 9 rebounds and 12 assists, a near-triple double. In fact, in the last few minutes of the game, Sanders was After looking at the statistics, I was ready to switch to Li Kaiming to get a rebound. After all, triple-doubles are relatively rare, and most players may not be able to get a triple-double in their entire career.

But Li Kaiming directly rejected Sanders' kindness, "Just win the game, and it doesn't matter what stats I have!"

Besides, Li Kaiming had three triple-doubles in just one month of the regular season. He didn't think there was anything unusual about such data.

Relatively speaking, he cares more about winning or losing this game, because after winning this game, the best player in the Eastern Conference this week is basically his. Is it possible that the best player can be someone else?

But in order to make his player of the month more stable, the next game, which is the last game of the month against the Miami Heat, is extremely important...
