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

Almost as soon as the game ended, the news that the Wizards won G1 of the series swept through the Chinese and American basketball circles and became a top hot topic. Countless fans came to the topic to build a building and post. own opinion.

"It's incredible! It took the Wizards two seasons to successfully rebuild?"

"The performance of Li Kaiming and the Wizards reminded me of his template. Duncan was also on the All-NBA First Team and the All-Defensive Second Team in his rookie season. He led the team to win the championship the following year. Could it be..."

"Although Lee's achievements in the first year were not as good as Tim Duncan's, he won the regular season MVP in the second year, and now he still has the opportunity to lead the team to win the championship! Oh my god, if the Wizards really win the championship, then what Lee's achievements will be , I really can’t imagine..."

"Double MVP at the age of 21? Am I really not dreaming?"

"It's too early to say this. The Wizards only won the first game of the series, and they didn't make it to the finals. The Heat were without Chris Bosh and the Wizards played until the last moment. If Bosh If Shi returns, I am still optimistic that the Heat can break out of the Eastern Conference!"

……

During the heated discussion among fans online, the post-match press conference was held.

Reporter: "LeBron, it's not difficult for you to win the first two rounds. How does it feel to lose the first game in the Eastern Conference Finals?"

James curled his lips, "Well, to be honest, it's not bad. This is just the first game. In a long series, it's just a part. The first one to win 4 games is the winner. Now it's just the opponent." Just one step ahead of us.

I won’t put too much pressure on myself and my teammates. We know what we can do. We were missing an important guy in the first game, but we fought them until the last minute. We need to overcome many objective factors in away games. It's going to be difficult, but we'll be okay in the end. "

However, when interviewing Wade, the latter's statement seemed to be somewhat different from James. Wade seemed very angry about the defeat in this game, "Our performance was not enough. The opponents were obviously well prepared. They were We were beaten hard at home and we shouldn't feel any pressure about it. We are the favorites to win the championship. The lack of players does not excuse our poor performance on the pitch. We need to do something in the next game. To better..."

It seems that both Jane and Wei have different views on the same thing.

When a reporter asked Heat coach Spoelstra when Bosh would be available to play, Spoelstra's expression was not very good. "We have no plans or news about Chris' comeback for the time being. If there is, the team's reporters will be there first." The time will be announced.”

It seems that Bosh's injury is not very optimistic, otherwise Spoelstra should have a rough comeback plan.

The Wizards' post-game interview was more joyful. The reporters asked Li Kaiming who in his heart was the biggest contributor to this game. Li Kaiming knew that the time had come to test his emotional intelligence and leadership as a team leader.

So he smiled slightly and pushed out the confused face next to him, "In my opinion, the biggest contributor tonight is definitely Kawhi. He played the most time in the game. We relied on him to limit LeBron James. He He did a great job and also grabbed a crucial rebound at the last moment of the game to help the team win.”

Although Leonard sitting next to him still maintained a paralyzed expression, his heart was already overflowing with emotion!

Perhaps Li Kaiming should engage in scientific research after retiring, and then publish a paper called "Techniques of PUA Robots". I believe it will definitely cause a sensation in the scientific community.

The second game of the series will still be played at the home court of the Wizards. The game will be two days later, which means that the coaches of both sides need to battle wits and courage in these short two days and constantly review the previous game. , and then deduce the adjustments that the opposing coach may make to prepare for the next matchup.

The Wizards players also had a great deal of confidence after the first game. It is estimated that Li Kaiming is the only one in the original team who has the confidence to defeat the Heat. The others are facing this kind of space battleship-level super team. I was still a little scared, but after the first game, others also discovered that the so-called super team is also composed of a group of players. They all have two eyes and one mouth. What is there to be afraid of?

So when the second game of the series started on May 5, the Wizards players were in very good shape, gearing up one by one, preparing to give two of the Heat's Big Three a little Wizards shock in G30. .

At 08:30 in the evening, the familiar MCI Center was still crowded with people. Zhang Weiping in the broadcast area was glowing. Although he felt a little unhappy after the Lakers were eliminated, compared to the Lakers, the current Wizards are the favorite of Director Zhang. Especially since the Wizards defeated James, whom he despises the most, he would be even more happy!

"Viewers, welcome to the Huaguo TV Sports Channel. What is being broadcast live here is the second game of the Eastern Conference Finals of the NBA 2011-2012 season playoffs. The Washington Wizards play against the Miami Heat. The Wizards are currently leading 1-0. Teacher Yu, what do you think of this game, and what adjustments the Heat may make after their last failure?"

The camera showed Yu Jia next to him. The latter had done his homework and talked eloquently in front of the camera, "In my opinion, the Wizards still have a higher winning rate in this game. We can see from the last game that The impact of Chris Bosh's absence seems to be greater than I thought. In order to save energy for LeBron James, coach Spoelstra asked Haslem to face Li Kaiming most of the time, but the latter couldn't guard Li Kaiming at all. , finally made an off-ball foul, but it was sent back in the next round.

If you can't guard Li Kaiming, it will be difficult for James and Wei to defeat this Wizards team. So I predict that in tonight's game, Coach Spoelstra will strengthen his defense against Li Kaiming and force the rest of the Wizards to take action. Thus reducing the Wizards' scoring efficiency.So the key point of the series actually lies with James and Bosh.

James will have to see how much energy he can use to help his teammates defend Li Kaiming while maintaining a high-quality offense, while Bosh will have to see when he returns. "

After Yu Jia gave a lot of analysis, the game officially started. The Heat's starting lineup was the same as the previous game, and Brachi won easily with a jump ball.

Hinrich dribbled the ball past half court, and Li Kaiming did not go to the outside to catch the ball. Instead, he started running without the ball like everyone else.

This moment made James, who was guarding Li Kaiming, a bit dumbfounded. If Li Kaiming dribbled the ball directly from the outside, he could still defend him, but if Li Kaiming ran without the ball like a shooter, he would have to think carefully about it and waste it. Is it worthwhile to chase after him physically? After all, without Bosh's heat, the reliance on him will be even deeper.

In the end, Spoelstra made the choice instead of James, and the Heat began to switch defenses on the outside to allow James to reduce physical exertion as much as possible.

Li Kaiming blocked one for Thompson, and then quickly cut inside. Hinrich made a through pass. After receiving the ball, Li Kaiming turned around and hit the target!

2 is better than 0!

The corner of Sanders' mouth slowly raised on the sidelines. Of course, he came up with the strategy of integrating Li Kaiming into the tactical system. After the last game, the Heat will definitely double-team Li Kaiming more severely in this game. If it happens again, Let Li Kaiming attack with the ball, which is a head-to-head confrontation with low efficiency and high consumption.

So he simply asked the Wizards to start playing team basketball and let Li Kaiming play his basic function as an inside man. At this time, the Heat's defense could not find the target, and it would naturally be chaotic!

It has to be said that Sanders's prediction of this move was really good. Li Kaiming's off-ball effect in the first quarter was surprisingly good. Not only was he efficient, but he also played very easily. The Heat switched defenses on pick-and-rolls on the outside. Let Li Kaiming seize the opportunity and make several mismatches.

At the end of the first quarter, the Wizards led 29 to 24 by 5 points. Li Kaiming, Hinrich and Blatche went to rest and replaced with substitute point guard Kenny and center McGee, with the two rookies on the court to rotate the Heat.

The reason why Leonard is not allowed to go is that James is leading the Heat's rotation. Sanders has already been determined for this series. Leonard and James are bound. If you go up, I will go up, and if you go down, I will go. Down!

However, James' desire to attack tonight was a little strong. In the second quarter, he was full of firepower, constantly breaking through to the basket and causing damage. In less than half a quarter, James scored 7 points by himself, and Sanders scored 36 points. He quickly replaced Li Kaiming back. At this time, the Heat had overtaken the Wizards by 33 points, 2-[-].

After Li Kaiming came on the court, he led the five-out lineup to start chasing points. Because James was off the court during this period, it was Wade's turn to lead the rotation, so Sanders' five-out lineup did not have Leonard, which means that all outsiders can shoot three-pointers. points.

Under the leadership of Li Kaiming, the firepower advantage of the five-outside lineup began to gradually emerge.

For the Heat, Wade is undoubtedly the core. It is easy for him to break through the Wizards' backup shooting guard Bell. Even when he encounters Li Kaiming's help at the basket, he can often score, but looking back, The Heat's defense against the Wizards is also full of holes.

Li Kaiming used his strong containment power to shoot inside and outside, and attack the basket to break through and score. After cooling off in the last game, the Wizards' perimeter finally regained its touch!

Thompson, Hinrich and others hit three-pointers one after another, and soon the point difference was widened to double digits. The Heat hurriedly called a timeout to put back the strongest defensive lineup. Unfortunately, the Wizards' performance of the five outsiders was also over. , Facial Paralysis took to the court again, blocking the Wizards' last shortcoming on the defensive end.

The two sides launched a defensive battle. The sound of iron resounded throughout the MCI Center, and the basket was so smashed that sparks almost appeared. When the time finally came for the halftime break, the score between the two sides was 51 to 41, and the point difference was still double digits.

In the second half of the game, the Heat's James and Wei went crazy together and started various difficult goal-scoring operations. Soon the point difference was close to only 2 points, but Li Kaiming stood up again and scored 7 points in a row with inside and outside shots. , and finally assisted Thompson to hit a corner three-pointer, once again opening the point difference to double digits.

The Heat tried to let Haslem take the lead again, but unfortunately this time Li Kaiming did not conflict with Haslem head-on. He began to move around his teammates in various ways, and Haslem panted like a lost dog. Qi followed him, and was thrown away by Li Kaiming after three strikes, five divided by two, and then hit another outside shot!

This game was not even as intense as the first game. The Heat were either chasing points or on the way to chasing points throughout the game. At the end of the game, the Wizards beat the Heat 113-98 by 15 points, the biggest victory in the series. The score came to 2-0, and there were 2 wins left before reaching the finals.

The Heat and James once again stand in the spotlight. Will they rise to the challenge and reverse the game or will they sink into eternal destruction?
