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

What happened at his cousin's house was just a small episode. After returning to his hometown to visit relatives, Li Kaiming also said hello to Jiang Shan and asked Hongxin Erke to pay more attention to Li Xianping. This flattered his cousin and Lao Li's family, but all this For Li Kaiming now, it is just a matter of effort.

Of course, in addition to coming back to visit his relatives, my uncle also has many relatives in China, but this time there is no need for Li Kaiming to accompany him. The main reason is that the relatives on his side are not familiar to him, and it is just this year. The Asian Basketball Championships were still two months away, so Li Kaiming simply returned to Huadu City and started training with the men's basketball team.

As for Elliott Williams and others who followed Li Kaiming, they returned to America first. The short trip was over, and Williams was ready to go back and find a reliable trainer to start the break. He has gone through a period of special training. His goal next season is to become a stable sixth man in the Raptors. Because DeRozan is in the same position as him, it is really difficult to become a starter, but like Crawford It is still possible to become a substitute scoring expert.

National team training center.

boom!

Li Kaiming jumped up high, received the pass from his teammate, and dunked the ball into the basket with one hand through Yi Jianlian!

Yi Jianlian had a helpless smile on his face. This was already the third time he was dunked by Li Kaiming in this training match. In less than 3 minutes, his starting lineup was directly hit by Li Kaiming in the penalty area. He became a sieve, and he also suffered three dunks!

Of course, Wang Zhizhi, the other starting insider, also had a hard time. In addition to being dunked when necessary, he was just like the road in the early morning when he was mainly defending Li Kaiming. He was passed by Li Kaiming in one step, and Wang Zhizhi was hit in the back and was numb!

No more fun!You haven’t had any experience at all and you’re still having fun!

Deng Dehua, who was standing next to the court, smiled and stopped the game. The starting lineup of the men's basketball team all walked off the court dejectedly. Only Li Kaiming's substitute lineup was smiling. They ran over to high-five Li Kaiming one by one, and then they said yes. Walked down smiling.

When have we ever fought such a prosperous battle?Push these arrogant men's basketball starters to the ground and rub them!I wouldn’t even dream of it!

Li Kaiming's all-around performance on the offensive end directly conquered his teammates and coaches. He can lead the bench and still dominate the starting lineup. Players of this ability are popular everywhere.

Before they knew it, all the wariness and suspicion in the players' minds disappeared, leaving only admiration and fawning.

Just kidding, it’s okay to be jealous of someone who is better than you, but when a person is thousands of times better than you, you will only want to be a teammate with him instead of an opponent, because the feeling of being an opponent of such a person is really too hopeless. .

If you can't beat them, then join them. This is not just a joke, but a real philosophy!

Deng Dehua clapped his hands, attracting the attention of all the players, and then said: "With Li Kaiming as a general, we are bound to win the Asian Championships this time. Not only that, we also have to do something great in the Olympics." !”

The host of this Asian Championship is China, and Li Kaiming was naturalized before the event. If he can't even win the Asian championship, it would be a slap in Liang Zhen's face!

So there is no room for error in this Asian Championship!

After that, Li Kaiming's schedule became very regular. The training center prepared the men's basketball players very thoroughly, from single dormitories to the central cafeteria. The players did not need to think about food, clothing, housing, and transportation. As long as they trained hard every day, it was enough.

The arrival of Li Kaiming not only brought top combat power to the Chinese men's basketball team, but also brought something else.

For example, many former male basketball players liked to go out for a toothpaste, eat skewers, snacks, etc. that are considered junk food for athletes, and even go out for dinner and drinks.

But since Li Kaiming came, there have been dinner parties and the like in the men's basketball team. At the beginning, most people would follow him out. From the second time on, Sun Yuehe, who had trained with Li Kaiming for a long time in America, Yi Jianlian stopped going and drove to train with Li Kaiming.

As time goes by, fewer and fewer players go out to hang out and drink, but more and more players train in the training center.

Under the leadership of Li Kaiming, the Chinese men's basketball team's pastime has changed from going out for dinner to practicing physical fitness and free throws...

After two months of devilish training, many players in the men's basketball team have become more muscular, and most of them have made great progress in their physical fitness.

Time comes to September, and the 9th Asian Basketball Championship is gradually approaching. According to the regulations of the Asian Basketball Association, the host China, the 26 Asian Stankevich Cup Men's Basketball Championship champion Lebanon and the second to fifth place, plus East Asia, The top two teams with the best results in the qualifying rounds of the Gulf, Central Asia (Central Asia and South Asia), Southeast Asia and West Asia will form 2010 participating teams.

These 16 teams will conduct a drawing ceremony before the event. According to the drawing results, the 16 teams will be divided into 4 groups on average. The drawing results have already come out as early as early July.

The Chinese team is placed in Group D. The other three opponents are Bahrain, the Philippines and the United Arab Emirates. Except for the Philippines, which is pretty good, the remaining two are rotten, and the Bahrain national men's basketball team is even worse. There is not even a Baidu Encyclopedia page.

Because China is the host and the influence brought by naturalized Li Kaiming, the popularity of this Asian Championship is unprecedentedly high. In fact, most fans want to see how the men's basketball team performs after naturalized Li Kaiming.

Of course, for the majority of basketball commentators, predictions for this event are essential.

Zhang Weiping knew Li Kaiming's strength very well, and he made a prediction very simply: "Li Kaiming is now recognized as the number one yellow basketball player. With him, not winning this Asian Championship will be the biggest failure!" "

Yu Jia, Yang Yi and others also came to the same conclusion, because the Chinese men's basketball team is almost dominant in Asia. Although there is no Yao Ming in this tournament, the Chinese men's basketball team is still the number one player in Asia even without Yao Ming. The team, and now Li Kaiming is here, let alone the championship, even if they don't win the opponent by 10 points per game, it can't be justified!

Of course, among the unanimous applause, there will occasionally be discordant voices. For example, this basketball commentator named Ma Jian sneered at Zhang Weiping's "Yellow Race's First Fighter" and tortured the latter's soul. .

"Who is recognized as the number one yellow race?"

However, this inconsistent voice was quickly drowned in the huge popularity. Not only the fans of the Chinese men's basketball team, Li Kaiming also has a huge influence in China because of Hongxin Erke, so this time Tickets for the Asian Championship men's basketball games were sold out almost as soon as they went on sale.

It’s not always possible to have the opportunity to see NBA stars perform live!

The time soon came to September 9th, the opening day of the Asian Championships. A group interview with the Chinese men's basketball team before the game was definitely indispensable. As the highlight, Li Kaiming was definitely the person that reporters were most interested in. none of them.

"Kaiming, what do you think the men's basketball team will achieve in this Asian Championship?"

"Don't lose a game and win the championship!" Li Kaiming's answer was concise and domineering, making the reporters at the scene laugh.

"So what are your expectations for your performance?"

"For me, winning is all that matters. There is nothing to look forward to. Data is just an accessory in the process of winning. Even if you win by 0 points, you will contribute. If you lose, scoring 100 points is useless!"

After Li Kaiming's pre-match interview was released, it received unanimous praise from Chinese fans!

"Wow! Li Kaiming grew up in America and speaks Chinese so well!"

"Yes, he is no different from an ordinary Chinese person. He has no accent at all. I believe you even if you say he grew up in China!"

"He speaks very honestly. He doesn't have the arrogance of a young man who succeeds. He seems to be very humble. No wonder he is so popular!"

……

At eight o'clock in the evening, the Wu City Sports Center was crowded and noisy.

The entire arena was packed with Chinese fans. After all, this was Li Kaiming's first show in China. Almost everyone was curious about what kind of performance Li Kaiming could perform in the international arena.

As the referee blew the whistle, Li Kaiming, who was the center tonight, pulled a green onion on dry ground and flew into the sky like a rocket. Then, with the Bahrain center's expression as if he had seen a ghost, he easily passed the ball to the starting point guard of the men's basketball team. Wei Liu Wei.

There was a burst of cheers at the Wuhan Sports Center. The fans were very satisfied with Li Kaiming's performance in the jump ball stage.

I just like this feeling of using my physical strength to crush!

One wave after another started, and the cheers at the opening had not yet died down. After reaching the frontcourt, Liu Wei just threw the ball towards the basket at will as if it was throwing randomly!

Li Kaiming, on the other hand, leaned on his opponent and turned around, then jumped up in the air to block the ball with both hands. After stretching his body, he dunked directly!

boom!

The basket in the gymnasium made a dull collision sound. The staff on the scene couldn't help but swallowed when they looked at the trembling basketball stand!

The rim won't be dunked tonight, right?

boom!

The moment he succeeded in dunking, the gymnasium that had just fallen silent was once again filled with applause, cheers and screams!

"What a fool! This ball, this young man!"

"I have watched the Chinese men's basketball team for so many years, but I have never seen such a goal. Is this physical talent?"

"The center of the Bahrain team looks like a child in kindergarten, weak, pitiful and helpless..."

After landing, Li Kaiming pointed at Liu Wei on the outside, indicating that he had passed the ball well!

And Liu Wei also slapped his chest, with a look of pride on his face. Before, you all said that I couldn't pass the ball and would only wait for Yao Ming to get down and lob the ball in. Now that a top pie-eating man has come, I will let him See if I, Liu Wei, can pass the ball!

Facts have proved that Li Kaiming's speech before the game was very correct. Fortunately, he did not say that his data would be very good, because the strength gap between the Chinese team and the Bahrain team is really too big, because it was the first time in China. The game was played in front of Chinese fans, so Li Kaiming was a little excited at the beginning, so he played into garbage time unknowingly...

In the end, he only played 15 minutes, making 10 of 8 shots and 3 of 3 free throws, all in the penalty area. He scored 19 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks and 2 steals. Although the playing time was short, his statistics were very comprehensive.

The Chinese team also beat the Bahrain team by 117 points 49 to 68. It can be said to be a bloody massacre...
