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

The commentator at the MCI center couldn't help shouting, "What's going on with Li Kaiming? Why did he suddenly run towards the outside after halfway through?"

The Lakers players were also a little confused. After playing basketball for so many years, this was the first time they saw someone suddenly turn around and run away when they were about to break through to the basket!

However, Odom, who was guarding Li Kaiming, didn't think so. If something goes wrong, there must be a monster!

Just when a bad premonition appeared in his mind, Li Kaiming had already dribbled to the outside of the three-point line, then turned around and made a jump shot!

What the hell!

Odom's expression changed, his feet accelerated and he rushed towards Li Kaiming, but he still took a step slower.

Li Kaiming's three-pointer flew into the basket with a whoosh!

115 is better than 113!

With 1 minute and 10 seconds left in the game, the point difference between the two sides was back to one goal.

Sun Yue stared dumbfounded at Li Kaiming's series of dazzling operations from the outside, and his jaw almost dropped to the ground!

what's the situation?Can basketball still be played like this?

Odom, who was guarding Li Kaiming, was even more speechless. He had thought of every situation, but he didn't expect that this guy would turn around after breaking through, rush to the three-point line and shoot a three-pointer!

This strange idea can only be thought of by Li Kaiming. After all, there is still enough time, and there is no need to force a three-pointer.

The Lakers served and attacked, and the ball was given to Kobe again. At the critical moment, Kobe took over the Lakers' ball, and the tactics began to revolve around him.

After arriving in the frontcourt, Kobe once again chose to play Nick Young in isolation, but this time he encountered Sun Yue's help after breaking through to the mid-range.

Faced with the "care" of his old teammate, Kobe did not dare to be careless. He changed the ball from his right hand to his left hand with a small change of direction, and then took a lateral step back to widen the distance from Nick Young.

Li Kaiming, who was protecting the rim in the paint, saw Kobe's action and immediately rushed over without hesitation.

The development of the matter did not surprise him. After Kobe stepped sideways to create distance, he directly joined the ball and pulled up from mid-range!

Li Kaiming's defense was just right. He blocked Kobe's sight with his big hand, and the latter took a decisive shot under the guidance of muscle memory.

With a crisp sound of iron, Kobe's offense came to an end.

But the Lakers' offense did not come to an end. Li Kaiming went out to cover Kobe's mid-range shot, and Gasol occupied all the positions under the basket.

Lewis and his ilk were completely unable to compete with Gasol for rebounds. The most active member of the Wizards team in protecting this rebound was small forward Sun Yue.

However, with the huge size difference, enthusiasm cannot make up for this gap. Gasol picked up the rebound from the basket, and then directly pushed up and caused Sun Yue's foul.

Sun Yue's defensive choice was very good. Not only this defense, but also his choice in this round of defense was the best. It can be said that his performance was very outstanding.

But Sun Yue seemed not satisfied with his performance. He bit his lip and patted his chest with firm eyes, indicating that it was his foul.

This signal is not only a signal to the technical stage, but also a signal to the Wizards teammates.

Li Kaiming patted Sun Yue on the shoulder on the way to the penalty area, "You have too high demands on yourself. Relax, no one can force you to do one thing!"

After hearing these words, Sun Yue was stunned for a moment, and then a warm current flowed out from the bottom of his heart.

Ever since he entered the Wizards' rotation, there has been a tight string in his mind. This string is what he and the country behind him demand of himself.

Carrying this huge pressure, Sun Yue knew that this trip to the NBA might be his last chance, because he is not young anymore.

If you are older, why does the NBA want an older person or someone who has already scratched the lottery ticket?

America is short of all talents in this country, but there is no shortage of talents who can sing and dance rap, and these three skills happen to be the skills that black people are best at.

Under this huge pressure, Sun Yue had to hold himself to a very high standard and trained very hard. Even Li Kaiming was not as passionate as him in training.

This kind of mentality is not bad for a short period of time, after all, it can allow a person to complete transformation in a very short period of time.

But it is very difficult to maintain this state for a very long period of time, and it may even be a bit perverted!

This kind of mentality has personal requirements like that of the ascetic monks in ancient times. Most people can just experience it on a daily basis. It is a bit abnormal to regard hardship and high standards as their daily routine.

As time goes by, mental fatigue will become more and more serious, so this mentality is suitable for short-term sprints rather than long-term maintenance.

Sun Yue now seems to be trapped in it. Missing the shot last time is a very normal thing in Li Kaiming's opinion. Even the most awesome three-point shooter in the NBA cannot have every open shot in a formal game. Progress, let alone a player who has just become a regular player from the bench.

Therefore, Li Kaiming believes that Sun Yue's apology is completely unnecessary.

But this time, after Sun Yue did his best, he patted his chest to indicate that something was wrong with him. This was a bit abnormal!

Where are the people who take all the problems on themselves?

Li Kaiming keenly noticed a change in Sun Yue's mentality, so when he went to the basket to grab a free throw rebound, he reminded Sun Yue not to be too nervous.

Even Li Kaiming himself did not expect that his words of comfort to Sun Yue would become the most critical factor in determining the victory of this game!

Gasol stood on the free throw line, adjusted his breathing and then made two free throws!

There are 40 seconds left in the game.

Gasol and Kobe high-fived in celebration. The Lakers led by 4 points. The Wizards needed at least two rounds to come back. As long as they didn't get sick, the game was basically won!

The Wizards sent a baseline kick, and Hinrich dribbled the ball across half court under Fisher's tight defense, and then handed it directly to Li Kaiming.

The entire audience stood up and stared at Wizards No. 0 on the court with bated breath. How will he play in this round?

……

Everyone had all kinds of strange thoughts in their minds. At this moment, Li Kaiming started.

Odom is still defending the three-pointer, but the rest of the Lakers have begun to help Odom defend.

Kobe Bryant and Matt Barnes were both eyeing him, standing behind Odom like a horn. Once Odom was broken through by Li Kaiming, they would double-team Li Kaiming mercilessly.

Li Kaiming stared at the Lakers' movements. After thinking for a moment, he held his breath and dribbled forward!

Odom watched Li Kaiming's movements nervously. After two consecutive games, he had been passed by Li Kaiming countless times. The latter almost gave him a psychological shadow.

This time Li Kaiming's explosion was still very fast. He lunged forward with a stabbing step from the right, forcing Odom to take a step back. Then he suddenly exploded the ball and took two steps back while levitating the ball in the air, directly retreating to a three-pointer. Outside the line!

Odom was dumbfounded!

Damn it, what's going on?Is this running with the ball in hand?

Li Kaiming ignored Odom's eyes, which looked like he was seeing God appearing. He stepped back outside the three-point line, picked up the ball and threw it away!

The basketball hit the net with a swoosh!

Odom threw his hands at the referee and complained!

"Referee, what kind of move is this? He grabbed the ball and ran for two steps before taking action? Isn't this a proper move?"

The referee on the sidelines was also a little confused, mainly because he had never seen such a move before and did not react for a while.

The rule of NBA is that under normal circumstances, as long as the referee does not blow the whistle, the game should continue. The prerequisite for the challenge is that the referee blows the whistle to make a penalty!

Therefore, these 3 points have been added to the Wizards' score by the MCI Center's technical desk.

117 to 116, the Wizards were only 1 point behind, with more than 20 seconds left in the game.

Phil Jackson called a timeout and first comforted a somewhat frantic Odom, who was still a little bit upset about Li Kaiming's "walking" three-pointer.

The coaches of both sides showed their talents and returned to the game after the timeout.

The Lakers sent a sideline ball to the frontcourt. As expected, Kobe took the ball. When faced with a double-team from the Wizards, he did not pass it to his teammates on the outside. Instead, he broke through and got rid of one of them. After reaching the mid-range, he faced Nick Young. Li Kaiming and Li Kaiming's defense made a huge fadeaway jumper!

119 to 116, with 6 seconds left in the game, Sanders used the last timeout, and the Wizards needed to arrange their offense well.

The Li Kaiming fans who were watching the game were completely impressed by Kobe's goal!

They all boarded the Chinese Basketball Forum and participated in the discussion of today's game.

But their main job is to brag about Kobe and belittle Li Kaiming.

"Kobe's key ball performance was too strong. In comparison, Li Kaiming on the opposite side simply relied on his defense!"

"Didn't you say that the statistics are the best in the league in critical moment shooting percentage? Today, it's just like that!"

"We, Li Kaiming, have never lost in data comparisons..."

……

The last timeout was so long for the fans. Just when many people's bladders began to protest, the referee on the field finally blew the whistle symbolizing the return of the game!

The Wizards sent a baseline pass directly to Li Kaiming. The Lakers wanted several people to double-team him, because everyone knew that as long as they guarded Li Kaiming, the Wizards would be doomed!

It was Hinrich who served. His pass was okay and he accurately found Li Kaiming.

When Li Kaiming caught the ball, the Lakers, led by Odom and Kobe, had already double-teamed him.

There was no trace of nervousness in Li Kaiming's heart. He calmly took the ball and rushed straight to the frontcourt. After passing the midline, the Lakers' reaction became even more violent.

In addition to Odom and Kobe, Matt Barnes also followed. The three of them planned to leave no way out for Li Kaiming!

The rest of the Wizards are in place. Now it's Li Kaiming's turn to make a choice. Should he force a three-pointer against the defense of three people, or should he trust his teammates and pass the ball to the open teammates?

This is a philosophical question about basketball, and different people have different answers.

But at this moment, Li Kaiming's choice is to pass the ball to Sun Yue, who is open!

When Sun Yue received the ball, time was almost over, and what Li Kaiming had said to him suddenly rang in his heart.

"No one can force you to do anything, just relax!"

Sun Yue only felt that a tight thread in his heart suddenly broke!

The corners of his mouth raised slightly, then he flicked his wrist and threw the ball towards the basket...
