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

The press conference before the game was packed with reporters!

As soon as Li Kaiming followed Sanders into the interview site, he was startled by the attitude of these reporters!

When the reporters saw him, he looked like a beast that had been hungry for nine meals in three days. His eyes were shining and they wanted to pounce on him and tear him to pieces!

At the beginning of the interview, the reporters’ questions were very simple and direct.

"Lee, after the last game, Ron Artest said after the game that he wanted to make you look good on the court tonight! What do you think?"

What do I think?I can't see with my eyes!

If he still wants me to look good, is it possible that Artest will also do the legendary "give me my Piao Piao Fist"?Can you give me a good beating?

Li Kaiming rolled his eyes, and then replied: "I am a basketball player. I hope that all grievances can be resolved on the court and within the rules, instead of ignoring the rules like an immature child."

The reporters at the scene were speechless after hearing this!

You were obviously the one who took the first shot in the game, and in the end, you kicked Artest to the ground!

As a result, you are now telling me that you want to put all your grudges on the field?

Are there actually such shameless people in the world?

Li Kaiming: Of course, and I can be a little more shameless. After all, no one will have trouble with Daole!

If he knew that he could lose nearly 20 yuan in a fight, he would not take the initiative to kill him...

The interviews that followed were all more conventional questions, with most reporters paying more attention to the conflict between Li Kaiming and Artest.

For the Lakers, Artest did not appear at the pre-game press conference, which disappointed the reporters who missed it.

This is also the first time that Kobe found that he was not the center of attention at the pre-game press conference!

Could it be that I have been playing basketball all my life, why not have a fight on the court?

Kobe had some doubts in his heart.

But if his thoughts were known to Artest, he would be laughed at severely by the latter!

Artest: Kobe, I'm not talking about you. With your rubbish fighting ability, you'd better not even think about taking action.Just stand back and watch when I rush up to you, and remember to eat at the children's table...

Artest didn't show up, so most of the interviews naturally revolved around Kobe.

Kobe Bryant spoke very highly of Li Kaiming's performance in the last game, which also surprised most reporters!

What's going on? Kobe has praised Li Kaiming twice in a row in front of the media. Is it possible that there is some shady PY deal behind these two guys?

The pre-game press conference ended quickly, and tonight it was the Lakers players' turn to stand in the dark and watch the Wizards players come out one by one.

After the lights were restored, the starting lineups of both sides were also displayed on the big screen.

Washington Wizards, point guard Kirk Hinrich, shooting guard Nick Young, small forward Sun Yue, power forward Li Kaiming, center Andre Blache.

Los Angeles Lakers, point guard Derek Fisher, shooting guard Kobe Bryant, small forward Ron Artest, power forward Lamar Odom, center Pau Gasol.

The ball was thrown into the air by the referee after the whistle.

Blatche missed the second time in the jump ball with Gasol. It seemed that he really couldn't jump Gasol.

Fisher dribbled to the frontcourt, and Kobe used his back to gain position in the first round. He was very aggressive tonight.

Fisher hit the ball and went in. Kobe turned his back and faked a shoulder shake, which stunned Nick Young. Then he turned around and hit the ball with a fallback!

0 is better than 2!

The opposing general was in good form as soon as he came up, and Li Kaiming, as the host, was naturally not weak.

After arriving in the frontcourt, he directly caught the ball from Hinrich's hand, then changed direction and feinted a shot, hitting Odom's defense from mid-range!

2 is better than 2!

The Lakers' offense used a familiar triangle offensive tactic this time. Gasol, as the core of the system, caught the ball at the free throw line, and then used the space created by his teammates' off-ball movement to make an air cut and score a basket. Artest went under, and the latter pushed Sun Yue over and scored for a layup!

2 is better than 4!

The Wizards' defense was as rubbish as ever, and the Lakers shot [-]% from the start.

The Wizards sent a baseline pass to Hinrich, who dribbled to the frontcourt and called for a screen. Brachi pulled him out of the pick-and-roll, and Li Kaiming opened up space on the side.

Hinrich used a pass fake to shake the delayed Gasol, and then suddenly collected the ball and made a mid-range shot, which was a pity.

Odom received the rebound and passed it to Kobe. After the latter steadily dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, facing Nick Young's defense, he pulled up and shot from outside the three-point line!

The basketball fell into the basket with a swoosh!

Kobe came on full fire and scored 5 points in a row!

2 is better than 7!

After hitting the three-pointer, Kobe walked backwards back to his own backcourt while staring at Li Kaiming provocatively.

Boy, if you have the guts, come and compete with me on three-pointers!

Li Kaiming ignored Kobe's "seduce". After coming to the frontcourt, he set a pick-and-roll for Hinrich, then went down to the free throw line to catch the ball, and met Gasol who came to help defend.

Li Kaiming is not afraid of facing Gasol alone. If Gasol serves as the last line of defense to protect the frame, it will be a great threat to him to break through.

But if he faced Gasol alone outside the penalty area, Li Kaiming suddenly accelerated and beat the latter cleanly, and then made a one-arm dunk!

4 is better than 7!

The Lakers once again gave the ball to the high post. Gasol turned around and observed the situation. He found that his teammates were on defense, so he directly dropped the ball and headed towards the basket.

Blatche tried his best to push Gasol outward this time, but the power gap between the two sides was too big. Gasol still managed to push to the basket with a little effort.

But Brac's defense was not useless. He successfully waited for Li Kaiming to help defend. Gasol's turn shot was interfered by Li Kaiming and missed. The rebound was collected by Brac who was stuck in position.

The Wizards attacked. Li Kaiming quickly reached the frontcourt and received Hinrich's pass. Then he stepped directly into the paint and a familiar figure rushed in from the outside!

Li Kaiming was about to go for a layup, but when he spotted the man, he immediately changed his hands, raised his elbow on the other side, and gave the man who was helping to defend him a solid elbow on the chest!

砰

The joints and bones collided, making a dull sound.

Artest took two steps back, grinning and covering his chest with his hands...

Li Kaiming also successfully took advantage of this opportunity and scored an underhand layup.

6 is better than 7!

The Lakers' offense once again led to Kobe Bryant. Facing Nick Young's defense, he chose to play in isolation. After dribbling a few times to find a rhythm, he broke through to the waist position, and then made a sudden stop and floated a jump shot!

bang!

Li Kaiming rose up from the basket, took off the signboard, and advanced quickly with the ball!

Odom was left behind, but Artest followed like a dog-skin plaster.

When Li Kaiming dribbled the ball to the three-point line, he did not hesitate and directly combined the ball and rushed inside!

Artest, who was following behind, saw an evil light in his eyes, and then placed a pair of big hands on Li Kaiming's lower back...

But just when Artest was about to push hard, Li Kaiming, who was doing a layup in front of him, suddenly let out an ouch, and then his whole body fell forward in an exaggerated way, as if he had been hit by a car from behind!

Of course, in the face of Li Kaiming's superb acting skills, the referee at the MCI Center was very considerate and called Artest a pushing foul!

Artest: ...

Damn it, so this is how you, Bi, solved the grievances on the field?

Artest now feels as uncomfortable and nauseous as if he had eaten a dead fly!

My family, who knows? Today I met a shrimp-headed man. He originally wanted to have a showdown with me on the court, but unexpectedly he suddenly started acting!

Li Kaiming stood up with the support of his teammates, walked to the free throw line and gave Artest a wink, then turned around to catch the ball and made two free throws!

8 is better than 7!

Artest felt a rush of blood running down his spine and into his head. The guy opposite was simply toying with him!

Li Kaiming scored 8 points alone, leading the Lakers by 1 point!

The Lakers called a timeout. Although Phil Jackson is a person who likes to let players find and solve problems on the court, players with Li Kaiming's performance still need to emphasize defensive strategies.

After the timeout, the Lakers' lineup did not make any adjustments, but Sanders changed to a five-out lineup.

At the beginning of the game, the Lakers attacked first. After reaching the frontcourt, Odom held the ball on the outside. Facing Lewis, he directly dropped the ball and pushed it in. After reaching the waist position, he turned around and hit the board to score 2 points.

8 is better than 9!

The Wizards gave the ball to Hinrich, and Li Kaiming caught the ball smoothly after the pick-and-roll, attracting two inside double-teams from the Lakers and then passed it to Lewis on the outside.

Lewis caught the ball and shot, scoring three points!

11 is better than 9!

The Lakers' defensive adjustments are indeed effective. Phil Jackson emphasized adding some small-scale rotations on the defensive end, forcing Li Kaiming to quickly return to defense after playing the ball.

The effect of this strategy is only half, which is to force Li Kaiming to play the ball.

But Phil Jackson still underestimated Li Kaiming's passing ability and the abnormality of Sanders' five-out lineup.

After Li Kaiming received the ball, the remaining members of the Wizards stood outside the three-point line. If you want to double-team, you can't quickly rotate back to defend!

To a certain extent, this is also a tactic of choosing one of two poisons.

In this rhythm, the first quarter of the game soon came to an end.

Phil Jackson was almost led by Sanders' five-way lineup in the first quarter.

Although he later discovered the problem in time and came up with a strategy to deal with it, after a period of training, the Wizards' shooters have already adjusted their guns.

Bullets were fed into the magazine one by one by Li Kaiming. The outside shooters fired thousands of arrows and scored 39 points in a single quarter, leading the Lakers by 6 points!

Li Kaiming's scoring in the first quarter was mainly concentrated in the opening. After the Lakers' defense adjusted later, his scoring dropped.

But there is a word called one after another, which is very suitable to describe Li Kaiming in the first quarter. Although his scoring was limited in the second half of the first quarter, his assists began to increase.

In the end, he played 8 minutes in the first quarter and scored 9 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists. If nothing else happens, it will be another triple-double show tonight!
