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

James' joining has boosted the already high popularity of the Heat. This season, almost every home game of the Heat, the American Airlines Arena is full of seats.

And tonight is no exception.

Li Kaiming interacted with the young fans as usual before the game. When he returned to the court, he looked around and saw that it was really loud with gongs, drums, firecrackers and red flags waving, and the crowds of people!

This is the appeal of superstars to fans.

At 07:30 in the evening, after the Heat's appearance ceremony, the starting lineups of both sides of the game were also displayed on the big screen above the arena in the form of photo stickers.

Miami Heat, point guard Carlos Arroyo, shooting guard Dwyane Wade, small forward LeBron James, power forward Chris Bosh, center Zidrul Nas Ilgauskas.

Washington Wizards, point guard Kirk Hinrich, shooting guard Nick Young, small forward Al Thornton, power forward Li Kaiming, center Andrey Blatche.

Players from both sides stood still near the center line. The referee on duty, David Jones, greeted the technical platform, then stood in the center circle, held the ball with one hand, and threw the ball into the air after a whistle.

Brac and Big Z jump ball, although Big Z was undoubtedly a level higher than Brac in his peak period, but now he is indeed older, and his state is no longer as brave as before.

Blatche was in his prime, jumped to win easily, put the ball in the hands of Li Kaiming, and the Wizards won the ball on the first down of the game.

The Heat's home commentator is a combination of two veteran commentators Eric Reed and Jason Jackson. Seeing that the Wizards took the lead in attacking, Reed said to Jackson next to him, "This attack can generally be seen today. The trend of the late game."

"Oh?" Jackson next to him raised his eyebrows, with a look of disbelief on his face, "How do you know that?"

Reid showed a confident smile on his face, "It's very simple, just look at how the Heat defend the Wizards. If they defend the Wizards' offense, they will lose. Do you still expect the Wizards to defend against the Heat's offense? ?”

Hearing Reid's analysis, Jackson suddenly said, "The Wizards are in the frontcourt, let's see how the Heat defend the Wizards!"

Hinrich dribbled the ball outside the three-point line and commanded his teammates to run. After everyone else was in place, the inside Blach came out to cover Hinrich according to the drill before the game. Big Z is an old and slow center. It is the most vulnerable point to be attacked.

Blatche blocked Arroyo, and Hinrich used the cover to break through the three-point line, but when he stepped into the three-point line, he found something wrong. The Heat's defense was not so simple.

After the Arroyo on the line was blocked, James on the same side has quietly moved himself a little towards the inside, ready to help defend at any time. Facing James' help defense, Hinrich has no confidence to break through, even if the inside is already People without frames.

Fortunately, Li Kaiming discovered Hinrich's embarrassment in time, and immediately turned around and cut to the inside line. After receiving Hinrich's pass, he went straight to the golden rooster and shot from Bosh's defense at mid-range.

The basketball fell into the basket with a swish, and the Wizards won the first attack!

0 is better than 2!

Seeing that Li Kaiming scored two points easily, Reed on the commentary was no longer calm, "Bosh was obviously distracted by this goal. Li Kaiming is the most offensive threat to the Wizards. He should never, never, and can't." Let him get such an easy shot!"

When the Heat attacked, Arroyo dribbled the ball to half court and handed the ball directly to James. Next to the Big Three, his role was to hold the ball across half court, and then take the pass from the Big Three and shoot directly.

Facing Thornton's defense with the ball, James held the ball with both hands on the outside to observe the situation. After finding that there was no obvious space, he immediately dropped the ball and made a strong breakthrough.

Although Al Thornton is a relatively good defensive player, his defense is not enough to look at the player with the strongest physical talent at the small forward position.

James didn't even need to change direction, and directly used his speed to lead Thornton by half a body, and then relying on his strong body and confrontation ability, he rushed to the inside of the Wizards against Thornton!

Blatche, who was under the basket, immediately ran over to help Thornton defend, but James' speed was too fast. As soon as Blatche turned around, James had already broken through to the basket and shot directly.

In this process, Thornton was like a toy, and was destroyed in the first round of defending James!

James scored a layup, 2 to 2!

Jackson in the commentary seat couldn't stand it anymore, "It seems that Elthorton is completely unable to defend LeBron. Is he going to deal with LeBron like this for the whole game? I'm worried for him..."

Reed next to him smiled, "It seems that LeBron has a very strong desire to win the game tonight! El Thornton is in danger!"

Thornton on the field also seemed a little helpless after being easily broken through and scored by James. He spread his hands, expressing that he was really helpless in the face of this kind of attack.

Seeing this, Li Kaiming next to him went over and patted Thornton on the shoulder, "Al, just do your best, and we will help you defend in the next round!"

The Wizards attacked, Hinrich dribbled the ball and handed it directly to Li Kaiming after halftime, Li Kaiming held the ball on the outside to face Bosh's defense, directed his teammates to move with his right hand, and then suddenly dropped the ball and rushed in!

Bosh's movement speed is very good in the power forward position, but even so he was taken aback by Li Kaiming's breakthrough!

Because at the moment Li Kaiming started it, he took a step and threw Bosh away!

With the current lineup of the Heat, the most heavily defended line is the outside line, but the protection of the inside line is relatively average, so Spoelstra also knows that his team's outside line cannot be easily passed by.

When Li Kaiming was half a body ahead of Bosh, James, who was defending Thornton in the bottom corner, immediately came to help defend him. Li Kaiming knew that Thornton's outside shots depended on the wide open, so he waited until James was in front of him before passing the ball. Thornton in the corner.

But it is a pity that Thornton failed to hit the three-pointer even so.

The rebound was grabbed by Big Z and handed over to James for halftime.

After James arrived in the frontcourt, he did not play by himself like the previous round, but passed the ball to Wade. The current Big Three have not yet found the best way to cooperate, especially when playing positional battles, they still focus on star singles. .

After taking the ball, Wade called the big Z to cover, and then directly accelerated and broke through to the penalty area. Facing Li Kaiming's help defense, he used his signature lost step, and then made a layup and scored!

4 is better than 2!

The fans cheered in the American Airlines arena. Wade's breakthrough was like a work of art. Whenever he made a stray step, he could win the applause of the home fans.

The Wizards served, and Hinrich played with Li Kaiming after he arrived in the frontcourt. The two used a fake pick-and-roll.

The ball was successfully passed to Li Kaiming's hands, but he also fell into the double-teaming of the Heat. At this moment, he was surrounded by Heat players.

Spoelstra had studied Li Kaiming very in-depth before the game and knew that a simple double-team between two people would not limit Li Kaiming's performance, but would allow him to drive his teammates, so he prepared a big gift for Li Kaiming!

Fortunately, Li Kaiming is tall enough, and there is no one who is taller than him except Big Z, so he only panicked for a while, then calmed down immediately, and then passed the ball to Nick Young who was outside at 45 degrees .

Wade's return to defense was extremely fast, Nick Young didn't grasp the momentary open opportunity, hit the iron with a three-pointer, the rebound was taken by James, and then launched a fast break!

All the members of the Heat began to frantically move towards the backcourt. Their best offensive tactic was to counterattack. James quickly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt under Thornton's defense, and then handed the ball to Wade, while himself It was directly pushing Thornton and rushing to the basket!

Wade from the outside line also came to the ball and directly gave an alley-oop. James took off with one foot under the basket, stopped the ball in the air, and then succeeded in a one-arm dunk!

6 is better than 2!

The fans in the American Airlines Arena once again cheered like a tsunami!

Reid in the commentary also said with emotion, "The cooperation between LeBron and Dwyane looks so pleasing to the eye, and the Wizards seem to have no way to defend the Heat's fast break!"

In the opponent's home court, and when the opponent showed momentum as soon as they came up, the rest of the Wizards couldn't help but feel a little nervous at this time.

And Li Kaiming also knew in his heart that if he wanted to continue playing today's game, now it was his turn to stand up and cool down the American Airlines Arena!

After Hinrich dribbled to the frontcourt, Li Kaiming directly asked for the ball from outside the three-point line.

The rest of the Wizards pulled away to create opportunities for Li Kaiming, and all eyes were on him.

Facing Dragon King Bosh's defense, Li Kaiming bent down and made a false spying move. After finding that the latter didn't respond, he suddenly increased his range, and directly stabbed Bosh's left side with a big stride!

This step directly shocked Bosh!

The last time he was passed by Li Kaiming with such a step, now faced with the same movement, Bosh subconsciously took a step to his left!

After Li Kaiming saw Bosh retreating to the inside, he suddenly withdrew his stabbing right foot, and then pulled it up outside the three-point line and threw it!

Bosh also reacted, and immediately rushed towards Li Kaiming, but the latter still hit hard!

6 is better than 5!

The American Airlines Arena, which seemed to be on fire a moment ago, immediately became quiet after this ball!

Sanders on the sidelines excitedly clenched his fists and looked at Li Kaiming with admiration in his eyes.

This guy can always come forward at times like this, he is simply an away silencer!

Even Reid, the Heat's home commentator, had to admit that the goal was great, "Li Kaiming scored a crucial goal and helped his team stabilize the situation!"

The Heat's home commentary is naturally biased toward the home team, but in the studio of the Huaguo Sports Channel, it's a completely different situation.

Director Zhang Weiping slapped the table fiercely, "Good shot! Li Kaiming's shot is too reasonable. No one else on this Wizards team can do it, so he has to come!"

Su Qun on the side also nodded, "Just now the Heat's momentum has risen. If this goal is not scored, the point difference will soon be stretched to 10 points!"
