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

After Artest slapped Sun Yue on the face with his ball protector, he felt happy and was about to lay up with one hand.

Li Kaiming saw everything Artest did under the basket, and he was already extremely angry.

Seeing Artest preparing for a layup, he jumped up high with a volleyball hat and slapped the basketball back!

Under his deliberate control, before Artest had time to react, the basketball in front of him grew bigger and bigger.

Then Artest felt a soreness on the bridge of his nose, and then tears flowed down uncontrollably!

He couldn't help but cover his face with his hands and squatted on the ground. It seemed that this game had nothing to do with him for the time being.

The bridge of the nose may be one of the few vulnerable parts of the human body. Even a professional athlete who receives a bump on the nose will temporarily lose his ability to move.

Sun Yue, who was slapped by Artest with his ball guard, was at a loss because he thought the referee would call Artest an offensive foul. Unexpectedly, the referee at the bottom line just looked at him and then stopped. There was movement.

But Li Kaiming used a very legal action, not only preventing Artest's attack, but also avenging Sun Yue!

This was something Sun Yue himself never thought of.

After Li Kaiming landed, he glanced at Artest, who was covering his face like a headless fly with a happy expression on his face.

Yes, Li Kaiming is such a person. For him, justice is justice and he will never be late or absent!

Sun Yue just happened to hold the rebound under the basket. Li Kaiming rushed towards the frontcourt as soon as he landed. Before Artest could participate in the game, it would be best if he could play a transition fast break!

But the Lakers responded quickly. Fisher came up and directly gave Hinrich a tactical foul.

This short period of time was enough for Artest to return to normal, and the Wizards sent a sideline ball.

Li Kaiming still let Hinrich hold the ball and use him as a transfer station to conduct the ball.

After a pick-and-roll, both Fisher and Gasol of the Lakers began to shrink inside, denying Li Kaiming a chance to catch the ball.

However, this gave Hinrich a chance. He suddenly withdrew after halfway through the breakthrough, and then hit Fisher with a long two-point shot!

42 is better than 46!

After the Lakers' timeout ended, not only was their offense blocked, but they were also hit by another opponent.

Joel Myers in the commentary box was almost going crazy!

"What the hell is Phil Jackson doing? Why didn't anything change after a timeout was called? The players on the field are still as lifeless as before!"

Marco Jackson next to him frowned, "Joel, you have to be patient when watching the ball. This is only the first round. Watch it for 2 minutes before talking!"

Hearing what Marco Jackson said, Joel Myers let out a long breath through his nostrils, "Okay, then let's watch it for a while."

The Lakers attacked, and Kobe blocked Nick Young at the waist and was about to hit the ball behind his back, but the Wizards were already prepared for this. Li Kaiming quietly went over to help Nick Young defend Kobe.

After Kobe turned around and started, he realized that Li Kaiming had already covered him.

So he immediately jumped up and passed the ball to Gasol, who was one step inside the free throw line.

Li Kaiming quickly returned to position. Gasol used a shooting fake and waited for Li Kaiming to come over. Then an old man took three steps slower and leaned on Li Kaiming for a layup!

46 is better than 44!

"See, Phil Jackson never calls meaningless timeouts!" Marco Jackson said to Joel Myers with a smile.

When the latter saw that the Lakers were finally able to score smoothly, the expression on his face became a little better.

"Look at the defense. If you can't defend the opponent, what's the use of scoring 2 points?" Joel Myers muttered.

Stu Lanz and Marco Jackson looked at each other and smiled. This colleague was a little silly and cute!

If the league's top offensive efficiency can be easily prevented, can it still be called the league's top?

Besides, depending on what Joel Myers means, what he wants to do is not to let the Lakers lower the Wizards' score, but to prevent the Wizards from scoring a single point!

The Wizards served on the field, with less than 2 minutes left before the end of the first half.

Hinrich dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and Li Kaiming quickly bounced out after the pick-and-roll, attracting the attention of Fisher, who had to switch defenses with Gasol.

Hinrich dribbled Gasol and slipped inside the three-point line, then passed the ball out. Finally, the ball came to Li Kaiming's hands.

When Li Kaiming hit Fisher as a point guard with a height of two meters, did he just pull up on top of Fisher's head?

Li Kaiming didn't even hesitate when he caught the ball, and just ignored Fisher and shot a three-pointer on the spot!

With a bang, the basketball went into the net hollow!

49 is better than 44!

On the Lakers bench, Phil Jackson's slightly squinted eyes blinked twice. His eyes stared closely at Wizards No. 0 on the court through the lenses.

It could be seen from his frown that Li Kaiming made him feel troubled.

When a big man dominates the three-point line, all you can do is pray that his touch gets worse.

The Lakers' offense gave the ball to Kobe, who singled out Nick Young from beyond the three-point line. After changing direction and accelerating to get rid of the latter, he stopped in the mid-range and drifted to take a shot, making a steady hit!

49 is better than 46!

This kind of ball is Kobe's best non-killer!

With 1 minute left in the game, the Wizards were ready to make a quick play and then try to get one more offensive opportunity before halftime.

Li Kaiming sped away from Gasol without the ball, then received a pass from Hinrich and made an emergency stop inside the three-point line!

The basketball hit the rim and bounced high on the neck.

Odom collected the rebound and gave it to Kobe, and the Lakers pressed the tempo for the last attack of the first half!

The entire Staples Center fans stood up, and this countdown moment was the highlight of a Lakers game.

Kobe spent time near the midline until there were 12 seconds left, and then suddenly started, facing Nick Young's defense, he took a shot from outside the three-point line!

Nick Young did not expect that Kobe spent time until now, but in order to shoot a three-pointer, his defense was a beat slower.

Kobe's three-pointer hit the inside edge of the basket with a bang, and then quickly changed direction and got into the basket!

49 flats!

Kobe ran back to the Lakers backcourt with a stern expression, but everyone could see that he enjoyed this moment very much.

In the commentary box, Joel Myers danced happily, "Kobe, Kobe again, he is simply a god on the court!"

Nick Young patted his chest with some annoyance. Kobe's shot selection was very tricky. Others chose easy shots, but he was different. Instead, he liked to challenge all kinds of difficult shots.

Call him superior or independent, but this is the charm of Kobe's game.

In addition to the competition itself, the biggest role of professional basketball is naturally that it is highly entertaining.

The Wizards sent a baseline pass and they still had enough time to mount an offense.

Hinrich dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and handed the ball directly to Li Kaiming. This kind of moment when the bayonet is red, naturally has to be handed over to the team boss.

At Staples Center, nearly [-] fans stood up and shouted in unison under the guidance of the on-site DJ.

"Defense! Defense! Defense!"

The Lakers players were also staring at their opponents like hungry wolves. The entire defensive formation was like a precision instrument filled with clockwork, running in an orderly manner as the Wizards players moved.

There are still 8 seconds left!

Facing Gasol's defense, Li Kaiming suddenly accelerated laterally and broke through to Gasol's left side.

Gasol subconsciously slid in that direction. Li Kaiming suddenly dribbled the ball back with a hook of his wrist, then made a sharp change of direction like a pendulum and shook Gasol away. He picked it up directly from outside the three-point line and threw it!

Gasol looked ferocious and threw himself at Li Kaiming with all his strength.

But with a loud swish, Li Kaiming ended the round with a three-pointer!

49 is better than 52!

The fans at Staples Center let out a collective sigh.

With two seconds left on the clock, Kobe instructed Gasol to serve him the ball. After receiving the ball, he turned around and aimed at the basket and shot from a long distance, but unfortunately he didn't hit!

In the Chinese studio, as Kobe Bryant missed a three-pointer, Zhang Weiping summarized the first half of the game as the host, "At the end of the half, the visiting team Washington Wizards took the lead with a sudden burst from the outside in the last few minutes of the second quarter. The Lakers scored 2 points. It can be said that the Lakers and Wizards both played their own styles in the first half..."

During the halftime break, as an employee of ESPN, Marco Jackson also naturally led the conversation to the ownership of various awards this season.

"Brothers, who do you think is the MVP, Defensive Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year so far this season?"

After talking about this, the other two commentators naturally stopped feeling sleepy.

Stulantz was the first to express his opinion, "Let's start with the least important award, Best Rookie. I think there is no suspense about this award. Basically it is Li Kaiming!"

Joel Myers next to him expressed his dissatisfaction, "Blake Griffin of the Clippers also performed very well, doesn't he have any chance at all?"

Stulantz retorted, "Blake's performance is very good, but Li Kaiming is the current league scoring leader, averaging 34 points per game, and he led the Wizards from the bottom in the East to a top four team. I think Whether looking at statistics or results, Li Kaiming is in the lead, and he is still far ahead!"

Joel Myers also wanted to argue for Griffin, "Blake may currently average 21 points and 11 rebounds per game. Is there a big gap between this data and Li Kaiming?"

Marco Jackson couldn't help laughing, "My man, you can eat randomly but not talk nonsense. Li Kaiming also averages close to 7 rebounds per game, 4 behind Blake, but he leads the latter in points per game." 13 points! What is the concept of 13 points? If you count the extra 13 points as a person, this player can get at least 400 million dollars in annual salary in the current NBA..."

Stulantz next to him also intervened at the right time and gave Joel Myers another stab.

"The Wizards are currently third in the Eastern Conference, while the Clippers are second to last in the Western Conference."

Joel Myers realized that he had said something very stupid. He blushed and wanted to defend himself. He spoke for a long time, but the two people next to him didn't hear it and couldn't complete a complete sentence...
