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

Thompson's three-pointer widened the point difference to 5 points. Nets head coach Avery Johnson greeted Deron Williams on the court and asked the latter to play a few serious rounds.

The Nets hit a shot right away, and other offenses ended with either turnovers or strikes, which made Coach Johnson very dissatisfied.

Deron Williams is not very satisfied with the team's performance. He averaged 20 points, 4 rebounds and 10.5 assists per game last season, ranking at the top of the league's assist list, indicating that he is a player who is good at driving his teammates. .

And his strength is among the top point guards in the league. The reason why the Jazz traded him was that he had a bad relationship with the team's head coach Jerry Sloan, which led to the resignation of Sloan, who had coached the Jazz for 23 years. .

Sloan is the greatest head coach in the history of the Jazz and one of the fifth [-]-win coaches in NBA history. He is undoubtedly the soul of the Jazz. Deron Williams, who forced Sloan away, was The Jazz ruthlessly traded to the Nets.

Now he has changed to a brand new team. Although the team's lineup is completely incomparable to the Jazz, why doesn't Deron Williams not want to prove himself with the Nets?

If he wants to prove that the Jazz management's choice is wrong, the only way is to lead the Nets to achieve results.

Thinking of this, Deron Williams dribbled to the frontcourt, asked center Petro to come out for the pick-and-roll, and then used the screen to go directly to the inside. Because Deron hit a mid-range shot in the last round, Blatche followed this time. After coming out, although Deron is a tank defender, he is still much faster than Brac, who is a center. He is one position ahead of Brac with his speed.

Li Kaiming, who was standing on the wing, saw that the situation was not good and immediately went over to help Blatche defend. Seeing that Li Kaiming let go of his man, Deron Williams directly hit the ball to Nets power forward Humphreys.

Humphries was the 2004th pick in the first round in 14. Last season, he averaged a double-double of 10 points and 10 rebounds per game. He was quite average, at least not the kind of player who was left out.

After receiving the pass from Deron Williams, Humphries dribbled to find the rhythm, took a step closer to the basket, and then shot directly from the mid-range. Li Kaiming quickly returned to defense but was still a step too slow. Humphries was The mid-range shot scored.

After making the shot, Humphries roared in celebration, as if he had dunked on Li Kaiming instead of a mid-range shot.

Deron Williams took the initiative to reach out to Humphries, and the two high-fived in celebration. A feeling of conquering the MCI Center with beautiful coordination arose in the hearts of both of them.

The Wizards serve, and Li Kaiming still starts the pick-and-roll in the frontcourt. This time the Nets are also prepared. After all, how can a professional team fall into the same pit continuously? Thompson's off-ball movement does not get rid of the defense. Man, the Nets used a small delay to help Evan Turner catch up to Thompson.

At this time, Hinrich on the outside passed the ball to Li Kaiming, and Li Kaiming was observing the situation near the free throw line. Thompson and Hinrich on the outside had no chance, but there were two people on his side watching eagerly.

At this moment, Leonard, who had just helped Thompson set an off-ball screen, suddenly squeezed away Damian James, and then began to cut to the basket.

Li Kaiming's eyes flashed, and he threw a lob ball from the defender's head to the basket. When the ball was passed, Leonard also happened to enter the penalty area. He jammed the basketball with his big hands and went straight for a layup.

Damien James, who was following him, saw that he had completely lost his defensive position, so he simply fouled Leonard and pulled Leonard down for a layup. The referee's whistle sounded and Leonard made a free throw.

When his teammates take free throws, Li Kaiming usually stands in the backcourt, watching out for the opponent's fast break, because he is the fastest and has a very strong shot-blocking ability.

Leonard, who stood on the free throw line, adjusted his breathing, then raised the ball with his face motionless, flicking his wrist and shooting like a robot.

Boom!

There was a crisp sound of striking, and Sanders on the sidelines covered his eyes!

After two free throws and one, this guy still needs to practice his basket, otherwise with this shooting rate, the opponent may cut Leonard at a critical moment.

But the facts showed that Sanders's idea was still too optimistic. Although missing the first free throw did not seem to have any impact on Leonard's psychology, the results showed that he was still very nervous because he did not make the second free throw!

Li Kaiming's face turned dark when he was standing in the backcourt. Good guy, Xiaoka, are you a Mamba disciple?I'm quite familiar with blacksmithing!

Damien James was grinning so much that he almost reached the back of his head. He missed two free throws. This foul was so worth it!

It seems that the paralyzed man you are facing doesn't know how to attack at all. He can't even take free throws. What other offensive skills can you expect from him?

Humphreys of the Nets protected the rebound, and then handed it to Deron Williams for halftime. The rest of the Nets also ran forward, and Evan Turner rushed towards Deron when he reached the three-point line. Williams reached out for the ball, and the rookie just threw in a three-pointer. He had to hit it back!

Evan Turner was very angry!

It’s okay to be bullied by Li Kaiming, but now even the next rookie dares to sit on my neck and dominate me. Is this okay?

If I can't beat Li Kaiming, why can't I beat you?

So after Deron Williams passed the ball to Evan Turner, the latter pulled it up and threw it directly from the three-point line. Thompson's defense was actually very good, but Turner was a high-ranking rookie after all and had played for a year. He still threw the ball in!

7 to 7 tie! The 5-point advantage was wiped out in the blink of an eye. However, Sanders on the sidelines did not have any anger on his face because he knew that there was still a big devil in his team who was not performing well.

Li Kaiming really didn't take many shots. From the beginning of the game, he basically fed the two rookies and let them find the feeling in the professional arena.

After all, these two people had high hopes from him and Sanders. They were like two swaddled babies that needed careful care and couldn't be rushed at all.

If you are really anxious, you can follow the example of some superstars and directly sell high-ranking rookies to famous superstars. This is also a way. Unfortunately, Li Kaiming is hard-working and cannot learn this kind of operation.

The Wizards sent a baseline kick. After reaching the frontcourt, Li Kaiming directly blocked the position with his back at the waist, and then received Hinrich's pass from the outside.

Behind him, Humphreys pushed hard against Li Kaiming, his eyes full of perseverance and toughness!

Everyone who has never played against Li Kaiming has this fantasy, thinking that he is the legendary son of destiny and the only person on the planet who can restrain Li Kaiming. It is just that he did not have such an opportunity before.

Humphreys was no exception. He used his torso to push against Li Kaiming, while stretching out his arms to interfere with the latter's sight, and imagined that Li Kaiming's shot would be blocked by him later.

While Li Kaiming and Humphries were competing, the rest of the Wizards were also constantly moving.

Leonard and Blatche, who had no outside threats, stood inside the three-point line as stakes, while Hinrich and Thompson began to move around the screen in various ways.

In the end, Thompson's running awareness was more outstanding. He made a big circle from behind Blatche and then suddenly stopped and reversed. At this moment, Li Kaiming did not let go of the open opportunity and directly passed the hook to Thompson. .

What Li Kaiming appreciates most about Thompson is that he dares to throw without any hesitation, and he doesn't think about whether his hand was good before. Anyway, every shot is a new attempt!

Evan Turner was also chasing closely. Almost as soon as Thompson took the shot, his hand covered the latter's eyes.

boom!

The basketball hit the rim and bounced, but did not fall in.

Evan Turner and Humphries both laughed out loud!

Humphreys thought to himself, I am indeed the son of destiny. Li Kaiming, who scores points in the league like chopping vegetables, doesn't even dare to take a shot under my defense and can only pass the ball to his teammates!

And Evan Turner thought to himself, as expected, no matter how bad I am, I am still not comparable to a rookie. If you want to score a goal in my face, young man, you can practice for a few more years!

A defense helped two Nets players find confidence. I am afraid that even Nets coach Johnson could not have imagined that the effect that he could not achieve with chicken soup was actually achieved by Li Kaiming and Thompson with one ball...

The Nets handed the ball to Deron Williams in the frontcourt, and the center came up for a pick-and-roll, but Blatche reminded Hinrich in time, and the latter turned his body at an angle early to prevent being stuck by Petro.

Deron Williams made a reverse breakthrough and directly broke away from Hinrich and broke inside. At this time, both Blatche and Hinrich were on the line. Li Kaiming was the only one in the penalty area, so he let go again. Humphries helped guard Deron, who pretended to lay up but actually passed a behind-the-back pass to Humphries, who caught the ball and hit the board.

7 to 9!The Nets scored 7 points in a row to take the lead!

Hey!

Humphreys shouted, and an unparalleled momentum emanated from his body, shocking the entire MCI Center!

Good guy, I just scored 4 points in a row, what about...

In this case, of course Li Kaiming has to step up, and he has almost given enough food to the two rookies. The premise of training rookies is not to lose. Now that the team is lagging behind, of course he needs to step up and score.

Moreover, the guy he was facing seemed a little crazy. He had to pour a basin of cold water on his head to make him sober up and know who he was, who was opposite him, and where this place was!

After reaching the frontcourt, Li Kaiming once again turned his back to ask for the ball. Humphreys repeated his old trick of holding the ball hard while interfering with his line of sight.

But this time Li Kaiming had no idea of ​​passing the ball from beginning to end. He first made a small turn to the right, confusing Humphreys's defensive focus, and then suddenly used his left foot as the axis, stretched out his left arm as a ball protector and moved back. With a swing, Humphreys' pursuit was blocked and he reached the basket in one step.

At this time, before the Nets' big center could turn around, Li Kaiming dunked with both hands!

9 to 9 level!

The MCI Center cheered a little because of this dunk. The main reason was that Li Kaiming was used to balls like this and there was no need to celebrate hard.

Of course, one attack cannot satisfy Li Kaiming. His plan for the regular season this season is very clear. While maintaining the record, he will train the two rookies as much as possible. So what he has to do is to maintain the Wizards' lead in the game, and then use the lead to Advantages to let Thompson and Leonard feel...

So in the next half quarter, Li Kaiming chose to lead his teammates. At the end of the first quarter, the Wizards led the Nets 26-22 by 4 points. Both rookies played for 6 minutes. Thompson hit a three-pointer. points, Leonard didn't score a point, but had 2 steals.
