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

Last season, the Wizards could score 30+ points in a single quarter at every turn, and even scored 40 points in a single quarter. However, after Nick Young and others left this season, the team's offense has indeed declined a lot. Even the head coach Sanders felt a little uncomfortable for a while.

So after the second quarter, Sanders took on the five-way lineup, but this time the five-way lineup put Thompson in the small forward position, and the shooting guard was replaced by teammate Bailey who was traded.

The Nets' starting lineup was not very good, but when it came to the rotation stage, a group of players they had never even heard of took to the field.

With this kind of team lineup, let alone Avery Johnson, even if Cardinal Auerbach won the Easter game and came to coach, it would be useless. The Wizards' five-outside lineup in the transition stage only took 5 minutes to defeat the Nets. The team's starting lineup is back.

This scared Coach Johnson, remembering the fear of being dominated by the Wizards' violent offensive firepower last season.

The Wizards also made a rotation, replacing Bailey and bringing in Leonard, so the Wizards' lineup became Hinrich, Thompson, Leonard, Lewis and Li Kaiming.

In other words, Lewis is a loophole on defense, but his value on the offensive end is greater, so keeping him is of great use.

The Nets served, and Deron Williams came to the frontcourt and prepared to challenge Hinrich. However, after he changed direction and passed the latter, a paralyzed man suddenly appeared next to him. Deron's breakthrough rhythm was disrupted, and he was helpless. Then he reluctantly passed the ball to Damien James. The latter seized the rare open opportunity and shot directly. However, he underestimated Leonard's wingspan. Although the ball was not blocked, the shooting accuracy was still affected. The rebound The ball was protected by Li Kaiming.

After the ball was passed to Hinrich, the other four people quickly ran forward. Lewis and Thompson ran to the two corners, and Li Kaiming and Leonard were at two 45 degrees.

In order to speed up the tempo of the game, Hinrich directly passed a long pass to Lewis in the bottom corner. The latter was guarded by Humphreys and had no room to take action, so he passed the ball back to Li Kaiming. After receiving the ball, Li Kaiming faced The Nets' stupid big center broke through directly, and after one step passed, the Nets' help defense also arrived as expected.

Li Kaiming saw the right moment and passed a diagonal pass to Thompson, who was farthest away from him. At this time, Turner, who was guarding Thompson, had quietly touched Li Kaiming's position, completely leaving Thompson open.

Thompson adjusted on the spot after catching the ball, and then faced Turner's aggressive defense and calmly shot, hitting his second three-pointer of the game!

With this three-pointer, the Wizards expanded the point difference to double digits.

Evan Turner exhaled sharply through his nostrils!

It's something that my uncle can't tolerate, and my uncle can't tolerate it, but my aunt can't tolerate it either!

You must let this rookie know that I, Evan Turner, am not someone to be trifled with!

The Nets served to the frontcourt. Deron Williams had no chance after playing the pick-and-roll, so he passed the ball to Evan Turner on the outside. The intention was for the latter to take a shot directly. Unexpectedly, Turner was rushed by Thompson's three-pointer. I lost my mind and actually dribbled the ball and rushed inside.

Turner's eyes flashed with a crazy look. He wanted to let this hateful rookie know what an unsolvable offense meant!

However, Turner seems to have forgotten one thing. If he shoots directly from the outside, there is a high probability that no one will help Thompson to defend. But if he chooses to rush to the basket, then Li Kaiming, who is playing center at the moment, will let him try. A taste of the palm technique that fell from the sky.

Moreover, Thompson did not lose his position when defending Turner's breakthrough. This allowed Li Kaiming to successfully capture Turner's movements and directly destroyed the latter's basketball dream with a volleyball block!

The Nets once again served the ball from the frontcourt, but unfortunately there was not much time left. Deron Williams missed a strong mid-range shot. Leonard grabbed the rebound and handed it to Hinrich.

Hinrich didn't waste time after receiving the ball. He looked up and threw the ball forward. At this time, Li Kaiming had already stretched his long legs and rushed to the three-point line. After receiving the ball, he could directly attack the basket.

The Nets also knew that it was difficult for one person to defend Li Kaiming's fast break, so they directly sent three people to form a wall at the free throw line. It seemed that they wanted to die with Li Kaiming!

But Li Kaiming is not stupid. No matter how good he is, he can't carry three people to the layup by himself. With a glance of his peripheral vision, Thompson has already run to the corner and is ready to catch the ball, so Li Kaiming makes a wide-range transfer. The ball was given to the latter, and Thompson caught the ball and threw it, making an open three-pointer!

49 to 36!The Wizards' lead reached 13 points. Nets coach Avery Johnson wanted to call a timeout to interrupt the Wizards' rhythm, but when he thought about the last timeout, less than 2 minutes had passed. Wouldn't it be wrong to call it now? Some wasted pause?What if there is no timeout at the critical moment?

So Johnson chose to endure it one more time and walked anxiously around the bench, shouting loudly to instruct the players on the field to pay attention to defense.

When the Nets attacked, Deron Williams showed the composure of an old man in the playoffs. After arriving in the frontcourt, he did not rush to make tactics. Instead, he waited for a few seconds on the outside, with the purpose of giving the Wizards a hot shot. The state will cool down and let the Nets players adapt to the environment.

A few seconds later, Deron Williams suddenly started and directly challenged Hinrich without calling a screen. After the iconic change of rhythm, Deron Williams shook Hinrich away, broke through to the mid-range and succeeded in a jump shot. , helped the Nets stabilize the situation.

When the Wizards attacked, Li Kaiming faced a double team and passed the ball to Leonard, who was cutting through the air. The latter missed a layup, and the Nets quickly went down after protecting the rebound.

Humphreys's mind started to move again. The team boss stood up. As the team's second best player in terms of statistics, should he also stand up and perform? It would be best to suppress the man named Li like in the first quarter. The fight!

After reaching the frontcourt, Humphreys chose to cover Deron Williams. The Wizards chose to double-team Deron decisively and let Humphreys free. Deron passed the ball to the latter. Li Kaiming quickly arrived to help defend, but Humphreys Si chose to prove himself in the MCI center, and directly took out his worst dribbling and started to kill inside!

Seeing this pair of guys kicking their noses and faces, Li Kaiming was a little bit dumbfounded!

I'm here to play a nurturing game and don't want to pay attention to you. You'd better think it's fun to touch the tiger's butt, right?

With Humphries' three-legged dribbling ability, even if Li Kaiming's outside defense was average, the former could not get rid of him. In the end, he could only barely make a layup, but did not even touch the basket.

Humphreys' face turned red and white after seeing the result. It happened that Li Kaiming grabbed the rebound. Humphreys decided to use a steal to regain face, but Li Kaiming turned around and passed it clean!

After passing Humphries, Li Kaiming, who was unleashing his full speed, rushed to the frontcourt with unstoppable momentum like a wild horse. The Nets players were shocked and prepared to deliberately foul to defend them, but they still failed. Before reaching the frontcourt, Li Kaiming suddenly passed the ball to Hinrich.

The Nets players had just breathed a sigh of relief, but they did not expect that the situation suddenly changed again. Li Kaiming did not stop after passing the ball, but broke through the Nets' perimeter defense and went directly to the penalty area.

Hinrich, who was outside the three-point line, hesitated after seeing this scene, and then passed the boldest pass of the season!

With such a long distance and several defenders separated, Hinrich actually threw the ball directly to the basket. When he reached the basket, Li Kaiming also took off at the same time, received Hinrich's pass with both hands in the air, and then Successful dunk!

51 is better than 36!

The half was not over yet, the Nets trailed by 15 points, and Avery Johnson panicked and called a timeout.

It turns out that the purpose of saving timeouts is to reserve critical moments, but looking at the current situation, if timeouts are not called, there is a high probability that there will be no critical moments.

On the bench, Avery Johnson shouted to the Nets players, "Defend the opponent, don't be anxious, don't follow the opponent's rhythm! We have to have our own rhythm, Deron, this is your job !”

Deron Williams nodded firmly. When the team encounters difficulties, it is natural for the team boss to stand up.

The two sides returned to the court again, the Nets attacked, Deron Williams broke through and scored, stabilizing the point difference.

The Wizards served to the frontcourt, and Li Kaiming suddenly ran to the outside to catch the ball. Nets center Petro was afraid of being passed by, so he followed the ground a step slower. Li Kaiming directly hit a three-pointer, and Deron's efforts in the previous round were in vain. .

The Nets attack, but the current Wizards are no longer the loophole-filled Wizards of last season. After receiving the ball, Evan Turner singled out Thompson and missed. Leonard grabbed the rebound and handed it to Hinrich. Li Kaiming Take the initiative to ask for the ball and quickly dribble to the frontcourt to prepare for one yourself.

Two insiders from the Nets team came over and were about to foul Li Kaiming, but Li Kaiming was too fast. Before the two people had time to make a move, Li Kaiming pushed the ball and changed the direction and passed them. Without the inside, the Nets Li Kaiming had an unobstructed view of the team's penalty area. Li Kaiming smashed Huashan with one arm, causing Humphreys who was following behind to swallow when he saw the shaking basket.

When the Nets attacked, Deron Williams once again chose to do it by himself, but after the layup reached the inside, he was interfered by Li Kaiming. Leonard next to him once again protected the rebound. This scene made Sanders's eyes brighten on the sidelines!

I didn’t expect Leonard’s rebounding awareness to be so good!

Avery Johnson on the sidelines asked the center and power forward to switch defenses. Humphries defended Li Kaiming and would not be passed by in one step. But at this moment, Li Kaiming was already going crazy. Humphries not only failed to restrain him, but also made Li Kaiming Play with more aggression.

After reaching the frontcourt, Li Kaiming faced Humphreys' full defense. He pulled the ball in a large direction and then stabbed out with one kick. Humphreys felt behind him and followed the predicted position toward the inside. Li Kaiming suddenly kicked He retreated from the ground, took a big step out of the three-point line, and almost made a free shot!

Swish!The basketball hits the net!

59 is better than 38!

Li Kaiming's sudden outburst directly opened the point difference to 20 points. Avery Johnson stood on the sidelines with a dull look on his face!

what's the situation?what happened?

At this moment, Johnson was like a student who was looking down to pick up something in math class. When he looked up again, he no longer knew what the blackboard was talking about...

Li Kaiming's explosive score also made Thompson's eyes shine when he saw it.

Wow, you are worthy of being the boss of the team, you are so awesome, I want to learn from you!

Even Leonard, who was paralyzed, had an expression of surprise on his face. It seemed that he had never seen anyone who could score like Li Kaiming.

Unknowingly, Li Kaiming established a glorious and majestic image in front of the team's two rookies...

At the end of the game, the Wizards defeated the Nets and won their first victory of the new season. Li Kaiming made 18 of 12 shots from the field, including 5 of 3 three-pointers and 3 of 3 free throws. He scored 30 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 blocks.

汤普森全场出战25分钟，投篮10中4，其中三分球7中3，得到11分2篮板4失误，小卡首秀投篮5中1，罚球2中0，得到2分7篮板3抢断，可以说两个人都表现出了自己的特点。
