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

In the fourth quarter, Sanders first took up the rotation. His main purpose was to find opportunities for Josh Howard and let him adapt to the intensity of the game.

As soon as Howard returned, the Wizards went from lacking small forwards to being filled with talents at the small forward position, and the backup guards began to be lacking.

There is no way around this. From the beginning of the season, the Wizards have been suffering from injuries, from Arenas, to Josh Howard, to Al Thornton, and most recently, Yi Jianlian.

Luck never seems to be on the Wizards' side, or in other words, the Wizards spent the entire year on their luck in selecting Li Kaiming.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Monty also made a rotation, but the depth of the bench gave the Hornets more confidence.

The two sides rotated on the court for about 5 minutes, and the score was chased to 100 to 93, and the point difference came to 7 points.

In fact, when the score difference reached single digits, Sanders already wanted to call a timeout and replace the substitutes, but he still wanted to give the starters as much rest time as possible.

The starters of both sides appeared again and started the final competition.

After the game, after a session of "training", Chris Pao was obviously much better behaved and no longer insisted on confronting Li Kaiming.

Mainly because I can’t do it!

Paul, who has become a rational cannon, is still quite good, at least he is very organized in sorting out the team's offense.

However, it can only be organized. No matter how Chris Cannon sorts it out, the Hornets' player configuration and tactical system are destined to have a low offensive ceiling.

Especially Li Kaiming took over the team's offense directly after coming on the field. He didn't want to spend any more time with the Hornets. He wanted to clock out!

Every minute on the field now is considered overtime for Li Kaiming. As a person with socialist blood in his veins, Li Kaiming firmly resists any form of overtime.

Therefore, the Hornets, which forced him to work overtime, naturally became a stumbling block on his way to check in. Li Kaiming's attitude towards stumbling blocks has always been to use the harshest means to deal with them.

Therefore, not surprisingly, a few minutes after Li Kaiming came on the court, the point difference was directly opened to 15 points, and the game completely lost its suspense.

And the most outrageous thing is that after Li Kaiming came on the field in the fourth quarter, the miserable Okafor once again became the target of being beaten, and was dunked once again by Li Kaiming...

Okafor: This game is boring, shut it down!

The final game came to an end at the MCI Center. The Wizards defeated the visiting New Orleans Hornets 121-114 at home, giving Hornets fans a New Year's gift package!

Asking for the psychological shadow area of ​​Hornets fans at this time...

After defeating the Hornets, the Wizards once again got a three-and-a-half-day holiday, and the next game will not be until January 1th.

So Sanders once again gave the players a holiday, but this time Li Kaiming did not use it to rest or sleep in.

He spent most of his time training, and of course, he took Sun Yue with him.

The current Sun Yuehe can be said to be completely different from the two he was when he first joined the Wizards. Not only has his muscles become bigger, but his shooting posture and rhythm have also become much crisper.

When he was playing professional basketball in China, Sun Yue developed many bad habits. For example, after getting the ball, he always subconsciously looked for his teammates, especially the inside, and never looked at the basket.

Another example is that when receiving the ball from the outside, he is hesitant to shoot, and he always likes to make a fake shot. After this fake move came to the NBA, not only did he have no chance to sway the opponent, but it turned into a fake move that seemed to be just for the sake of fake moves.

After several months of hard study and practice, Sun Yue now looks more and more like an NBA player.

I have to say that his talent is still good. Although he is only a second-round pick, being able to be selected at such an old age already illustrates Sun Yue's talent.

In addition to the change in the rhythm of his shots, Sun Yue's shooting stability is also much stronger now than at the beginning.

When he first arrived, he played in the summer league and preseason games. He could make 1-for-[-] shots at every turn. Now he is starting the game and has become a key part of the Wizards' five small teams. Even if Josh Howard comes back, Sanders will not. Taking Sun Yue into the starting lineup shows how much the latter has improved!

From a thorny player in the mouth of the Chinese media to a stable rotation of the current NBA team, all these changes are because of Li Kaiming's words.

In the NBA, you have to learn to see yourself clearly. Whoever can enter the NBA is not the Jordan in his own story. But in the end, those who can stay, except for true geniuses, are those who can clearly see their upper limit and make choices as early as possible. people.

Basketball is a team sport, and someone always has to make sacrifices. Since those star players have stronger individual abilities, only role players have to make sacrifices for the team to win.

Therefore, Sun Yue was grateful to Li Kaiming from the bottom of his heart. The latter not only gave him an initial opportunity to play, but also saw clearly where his problems lay and gave him guidance.

The most rare thing in the world is not the icing on the cake, but the help in times of need. He, Sun Yue, can transform from a player deeply involved in the "car shock scandal" to the only Chinese starting player in the NBA. He naturally knows who to be grateful to.

In fact, in addition to Sun Yue, Yi Jianlian has also made good progress. After he changed his shooting posture, his shooting rate once dropped to the bottom. Sometimes he could only get a few rebounds in a whole game.

However, as the training progressed, Yi Jianlian's shooting stability, especially the stability of catching and shooting, has been greatly improved, and his shooting speed has become several times faster than before.

If it weren't for his bad luck and stepping on someone else's toes, Yi Jianlian would have secured his position as the Wizards' sixth man.

After two days of hard training, all members of the Wizards packed their bags and came to the airport, then flew to Philadelphia on a team plane.

This game will be the third contest between the Wizards and the 76ers this season. The two sides have been so familiar with each other that they almost know the color of their opponent's pants, so there is no secret in this game.

After several days of special training, Li Kaiming was gearing up and wanted to show off his talents at the 76ers' home court.

Unfortunately, things went against expectations. Sun Yue, who was training with him, was in very good condition, but the rest of the Wizards seemed to be out of breath. Just like office workers on the first day of work after the National Day Golden Week, they were completely unable to pay attention. Focus on the competition.

Not to mention defense, among all the 76ers players except John Wall, no one has a shooting percentage lower than 60%...

There is only one possibility to win in this case, and that is the Wizards' shooting percentage is higher than the opponent's.

however……

尼克杨投篮12中3，外线5中0，怒砍7分3篮板。

The team's starting point guard Hinrich made 13 of 5 shots, 6 of 1 three-pointers, and scored 11 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists. It is worth mentioning that he did not make a free throw.

Hinrich's performance was actually pretty good for the Wizards, because he was fouled 76 times by 6ers starting point guard Jrue Holiday and graduated before the game was over.

The team's two centers, Blatche and McGee, combined to make 14 of 4 shots from the basket and had 3 blocks. They were blocked by the 76ers' inside attack.

If Li Kaiming and Sun Yue hadn't been hanging on the outside, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been garbage time in the third quarter.

But even so, the Wizards still lost to the 96ers by 107 points, 76-11.

Fortunately, John Wall's performance on the opposite side is also absolutely rubbish, otherwise Philadelphia fans and media would not know how to arrange Li Kaiming!

After losing to the 76ers, the Wizards will return home again in their next game to face the offending New Jersey Nets.

But that was January 1th. Before the game, there was another thing that was more important to Li Kaiming.

On January 2011, 1, NBA officials announced the results of the third phase of voting for the 6 Staples All-Stars on their website.

As soon as the results came out, they immediately aroused a strong response in America!

The total number of votes is still firmly controlled by the host's Kobe Bryant, who is far ahead of the others with more than 139 million votes.

The voting results in the Eastern Conference are interesting. James, the voting leader in the Eastern Conference in the first two stages, was overtaken by Howard after leading for a month!

Howard is currently slightly ahead of James with more than 120 million votes and 1 votes. It seems that James went to the Heat to form the Big Three and really hurt his fans. Otherwise, how could he lose to Howard in the voting.

In addition to the change of vote king in the Eastern Conference, another eye-catching thing is Li Kaiming's vote count.

A week after surpassing Paul Pierce of the Celtics, since Li Kaiming can appear in the top five goals of the next day at least once as long as there is a Wizards game during this period, his exposure is very large!

In just over a week, Li Kaiming's votes surged by more than 20, reaching 67.

The two people ahead of him, Stoudemire and Garnett, had very close votes, one with 82 and the other with 83.

Although Li Kaiming is still some distance away from the votes of these two people, his increase this week still surprised many fans and media!

You need to know which of these stars with the highest number of votes has not worked hard in the league for many years and is honored. At the very least, they have a best team in hand.

But now, these stars who have been working hard in the league for many years seem to be turning into the front wave, and they are beaten to death on the beach by Li Kaiming, the turbulent back wave!

Regarding this issue, the reporter also interviewed Boston Celtics star Kevin Garnett.

Garnett is full of confidence in this, "His votes are still far away from mine. I don't think he can surpass me. If that day will come sooner or later, it will definitely not be this year. On the contrary, I feel that as time passes, As time goes by, my brother Paul Pierce will outvote him!"

Garnett's speech was very high-level. Not only did he express his attitude, but he also affirmed Li Kaiming's prospects to a certain extent. He even expressed his support for his teammates. It can be said to be a perfect speech.

But Li Kaiming doesn't think so. He knows that if he wants to enter the starting lineup, it is unrealistic to surpass James, but he must surpass Garnett and Stoudemire.

So hard, I’m sorry, I’m going to overtake you!And it has to be this year!
