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

Li Kaiming's enthusiasm for scoring a new career high in the face of the Heat's Big Three has not yet passed. Immediately after the announcement of the Player of the Month and Rookie of the Month, Li Kaiming's popularity in America rose to another level!

These two things brought Li Kaiming into the eyes of a large number of NBA fans, and people discovered that besides the home team players they care most about, there is also a young Chinese teenager who is making a big splash in the NBA!

And the effect of this is that many American fans who hold tickets to wait and see are also determined to vote for Li Kaiming for their All-Star votes.

In addition to the All-Star votes, ESPN also announced the jersey sales rankings for the first month of the new season on their website.

With the blessing of Kobe Bryant's defending championship, his No. 24 jersey became the top seller in November. Although LeBron James' popularity has declined due to the turmoil of changing teams, changing teams means that his fans have to buy them again. Collecting his Heat No. 11 jersey, his jersey sales naturally became the second.

Below are some star players in the league, including Howard, Rose, Wade and others.

And at the end of this list, at No. 20, the name of the only rookie appeared - Li Kaiming!

Li Kaiming entered the league as the No. [-] pick and already had his own aura. What's more, he also performed a rookie performance that is rare in history. It is not surprising that his jersey sales exceeded those of many old guys.

At 12 pm on December 1, at the home court of the Toronto Raptors, the brotherly battle between Li Kaiming and Elliott Williams officially began.

Due to Al Thornton's injury, Sanders will use Trevor Booker as the starting small forward tonight, and promised Sun Yue to replace Booker in the rotation.

Both sides felt bad in the first quarter. The Raptors' offense was originally a mess. Before this game, its offensive efficiency ranked 30th among the 26 teams. It was a proper offensively constipated team.

However, the Raptors' offensive garbage is also traceable. They rarely take three-pointers. As the core of the team, DeMar DeRozan doesn't like three-pointers very much. This team sometimes has the entire court. The total number of shots taken was even lower than that of Li Kaiming alone.

Therefore, the Raptors' poor touch is not an exception, but their norm. They are not good at offense.

On the contrary, it was the Wizards. Because Li Kaiming worked too hard in the last game, he simply fell into a weak state this time. In the first quarter, he made 6 of 2 shots and only scored 6 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist.

The Wizards also trailed the Raptors by 25 points, 29-4.

Faced with this situation, Li Kaiming was helpless. His fatigue level was still orange to red up to now, and he didn't know if he had spent all his luck in the last game. Today, not only was the system lottery luck particularly bad, but also the game The feel of it is also ridiculously smelly!

He even wondered if he had forgotten to wash his hands after going to the toilet because his hands were so smelly.

In addition to him, everyone else on the Wizards also performed poorly, especially the outside shooters. Nick Young was guarded hard by Wade in the last game. I thought he would be able to return with full blood this time, but I didn't expect him. But it was a disaster. In a single quarter, he made 3 of 0 three-point shots from the outside. He scored 2 points and 2 rebound with 1 free throws. He really made the coach on the bench smile, but the coach who smiled was the opposite coach.

Kirk Hinrich is in slightly better shape than Nick Young. After all, as a veteran traditional point guard, he can drive his teammates even if his touch is not good. Hinrich scored 4 points and 3 assists in a single quarter, with a shooting percentage of 40%. .

As for Trevor Booker, who made his debut for the first time, he was almost scared to pee on the court, especially this is an away game. Raptors fans booed a tsunami after Booker played, and Li Kaiming could even When I saw this guy's face, his face suddenly turned pale!

The ending was no surprise. After Booker came on the court, he became a free man on the court, as if he couldn't find his position. In the final quarter, he made 3 of 0 shots and scored 0 points and 1 rebound.

Sanders couldn't stand it any longer in the middle of the first quarter and replaced Booker with Sun Yue. Sun Yue performed very positively after coming on the court, especially on the defensive end. In addition to a mistake, he also directly used a steal to win the ball for the Wizards.

But it is a pity that Sun Yue is not in very good condition on the offensive end. It may be because he has not appeared in the rotation for a long time. When he faced a game of this intensity, his touch was very stiff, and his two three-pointers were obviously off target. big.

The second quarter of the game came quickly, and the Wizards' offense in the second quarter was still unsound.

In fact, it’s not that the team’s offense is bad, the main reason is that Li Kaiming is in poor condition. In terms of his average points per game, he alone accounts for about 3/1 of the team’s points. In addition, He provides assists and attracts double-teams to create opportunities for his teammates. To put it bluntly, Li Kaiming alone can drive half of the Wizards' offense.

And Li Kaiming, who is the engine of the team's offense, withered in today's game, so the Wizards' offense is naturally not much better. In other words, the current level of offense is the true strength of the Wizards.

Li Kaiming also wanted to struggle, but after playing a few games, he realized that tonight's hand feeling was really bad, and it might be the worst game he has played since he entered the league.

So later on, he didn't dare to force the shot. If he still forced the shot when his touch was poor, he would be hurting the team.

Li Kaiming was waiting for an opportunity. After his offensive badge was activated in the last 5 minutes of the game, he tried to play singles on his own.

Under such unfavorable circumstances, the second quarter ended quickly.

The Wizards' offense still maintained the same constipation as in the first quarter, but the opposite Raptors came out firing in the second quarter, scoring 38 points in a single quarter, tying the Wizards' second-highest score in a quarter!

The Wizards also trailed their opponents by 52 points, 67-15, after halftime.

Li Kaiming took 10 shots in the half and hit 4 goals, 2 of 0 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 12 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. Although the data is still very comprehensive, his shooting percentage is a new low in his career.

Nick Young may have been fed laxatives by Wade in the last game, but today he transformed into Splatoon, so much that he almost prolapsed his anus.

他半场6投1中，三分球4投0中，得到2分3篮板2失误，完美地继承了上一场的优秀表现。

今天奇才队表现最好的是两个中锋，首发的安德雷布拉奇半场8中5得到12分5篮板，替补中锋贾维尔麦基得到8分5篮板2盖帽。

Sun Yue recovered a bit in the second quarter, scoring 5 points, 1 rebound, 2 steals and 1 block at halftime. His defensive performance was remarkable.

Sanders, who returned to the locker room, was also upset by the Wizards players. The team leader took the lead in diarrhea. What else could he say?

Therefore, in the locker room, he just emphasized that the team should run and not hold the ball alone while the others stood and watched.

The second 10-minute break ended quickly. In the third quarter, Sanders wanted to improve the team's offense, so he came up with a five-out lineup, with Hinrich, Nick Young, Sun Yue, Lewis and Li Kaiming started the second half to see if he could regain some of the team's firepower.

Facts have proved that Sanders' choice was very correct. The Wizards found a little offense in the second half, but only a little.

Good news, the Wizards' offense is back.

Bad news, the Raptors' touch is back, too.

Although the Wizards performed well in the third quarter and made great progress compared to the first half, due to the poor defense, the opposite Raptors still felt hot. The two sides tied at 29 in the third quarter, which is Said, the Wizards entered the final quarter with a 15-point halftime difference.

Back in the fourth quarter, Li Kaiming wanted to try to regain his touch, but it turned out that when the feel is not good, don’t force it, because not only will you not regain your touch, but it will also break the mentality of your teammates...

Li Kaiming played three rounds in a row without hitting a single hit. Turning around, he failed to prevent the Raptors from counterattacking. When Sanders was counting on him to lead the team to a reversal, the point difference became wider and wider.

Li Kaiming originally wanted to wait for the last 5 minutes to try again, but Sanders did not give him this opportunity because in Sanders' view, the game had entered garbage time.

At the end of the game, the Wizards lost to the Toronto Raptors 108-127 on the road, ending their winning streak.

李凯明全场18投7中，三分3中1，罚球5罚4中，得到19分11篮板8助攻1盖帽的准三双数据，百分之40不到的命中率刷新了他职业生涯的下限，而他的场均得分也因为这个19分被硬生生地拉低了2分……

奇才队表现最好的首发中锋安德雷布拉奇，他全场16投11中，得到26分12篮板1盖帽。

Point guard Hinrich's performance was also satisfactory, with 12 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists. Li Kaiming's touch was not good, and Hinrich's assists were immediately reduced by half.

尼克杨的表现保持着上半场的稳定，全场下来8投1中狂砍2分2篮板3失误，助攻失误比达到了恐怖了0比3！

Sun Yue successfully seized the opportunity and squeezed out Trevor Booker's time. He played 24 minutes and scored 7 points, 3 rebounds, 8 steals and 2 blocks on 2 of 2 shots. Coach Sanders’s eyes lit up!

After Thornton was injured, the Wizards lacked a defender at the small forward position, and the most valuable thing about Sun Yue is that his awareness of assisting defense at the 3rd position is very good.

His most glorious moment on the defensive end was none other than Howard, who nailed the big block in the 2008 Olympics. This shows Sun Yue's strong defensive ability.

Yi Jianlian also played a lot of playing time tonight. He played 18 minutes and scored 9 points, 4 rebounds and 1 steal. Although he didn't play as Hua Guo fans imagined, at least he gained a firm foothold in the Wizards.

Today's game is a welcome relief for Li Kaiming's team members. Naturally, they must seize the opportunity to criticize Li Kaiming as "pure passers-by".

Unfortunately, what they didn't expect was that the public opinion at this time was still immersed in the shock of Li Kaiming overthrowing the Big Three and winning the Best of the Month. The comments of the scumbags seemed like a pebble thrown into the sea. The bubble disappeared...
