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

When Li Kaiming scored 27 points, 14 rebounds, 7 assists and 5 blocks to lead the Chinese team to defeat the powerful enemy Spain, the entire Chinese basketball world was excited!

People who don’t watch the game will say, “Li Kaiming is awesome.”

Those who watched the game had already rushed to the nearest Hongxin Erke store to buy Li Kaiming's signature boots!

Before the game started, almost no one thought that this Chinese team could defeat the powerful Spain. Even with Li Kaiming, the youngest double MVP player, most Chinese fans felt that the Chinese men's basketball team was the underdog.

But Li Kaiming once again did the impossible and created a miracle!

After seeing Li Kaiming's last-minute drift shot and three blocks to end the game, the smile on Han Yinzhi's face in front of the TV gradually disappeared...

As the Taishan Beidou of the Chinese basketball world, he certainly knows the level of Li Kaiming's performance in the last period. Even he has to admit that at least in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team, no one can perform like this!

But the more amazing Li Kaiming's performance, the stronger the sense of urgency and crisis in Han Yinzhi's heart!

This Chinese team can even unseat Spain, so the probability of winning a medal in this Olympics is no empty talk!

In other words, half of the bet between him and Liang Zhen has been lost!

Is this okay?

When he thought that Liang Zhen, that "white-eyed wolf", would soon become the winner and his position in the Chinese sports world would be more stable, Han Yinzhi was so angry that he couldn't help but feel angry!

It seems it's time to take a walk...

Almost at the same moment as the game ended, some viewers uploaded the video of the game to China's online platform.

In just one night, millions of netizens came here to watch Li Kaiming's amazing performance and communicate under the video.

"This is definitely the best game I have ever seen a men's basketball team play! Barely one!"

"Li Kaiming scored 8 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks in the fourth quarter. This performance was really terrifying!"

"Before, I thought Li Kaiming was not much different from Yao Ming, but now I see it was me who was too loud. Li Kaiming is awesome!"

"Even Spain can defeat me. Now I'm playing against America in the Champions League. Can any of you wake me up?"

"My urine is yellow, I'll do it! Those with diabetes should sit in the back row, don't let them taste the sweetness!"

"To be honest, America is still one level higher. I feel numb when I look at that lineup..."

"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. After all, the outcome is determined..."

Of course, the battle with America still only exists in the imagination of a few Chinese fans. Most fans and commentators are still relatively pragmatic. After the joy and madness of defeating Spain at the beginning, rationality has returned. return.

The previous heated discussions about competing for the championship have gradually faded away, and more and more people have set their sights on the Chinese team's next game.

After all, although there is no giant like Emerica in Group B, none of the remaining four teams are easy to mess with.

The opponent in the second game was China's northern neighbor, the Mao Bears. Based on their performance in last year's European Championship, this lineup has the Mao Bears, known as "ak47" Andrei Kirilenko and big center Mozgov. The Bears are the most defensive team among all European teams.

This is of course due to Kirilenko, an all-around forward defender. His height of 206cm allowed him to win the honor of blocking shots in the era when centers dominated the league. He also had an All-Defensive first team and two second teams. , it can be seen from these honors that Kirilenko was definitely the best defender Li Kaiming encountered before meeting the American team.

Moreover, David Blatt, the head coach of the Bears, was specially invited from America. With America's coach, the Bears will not lag behind in terms of tactics, so this game is also very special. Worth taking seriously.

Two days later, at the London Olympics Basketball Stadium, the game was still at [-]pm, and fans from both sides came to the stadium early, ready to cheer for their athletes.

Unsurprisingly, the head coach of the Bears, David Blatt, really asked Kirilenko to face Li Kaiming throughout the game. It seems that the latter's performance against Spain in the last game made David Blatt improve. alert.

Originally, Kirilenko should serve as a free agent on the defensive end like Li Kaiming, taking advantage of his stronger defensive capabilities, but the Bears obviously cannot be very wealthy like Spain and bring out Gasol or Ibaka. A level defender, so no matter how unwilling he is, Kirilenko has to play.

When guarding a star player, if the opponent is simply passed by like air, is it possible to rely on the help defender to guard the star?

This is an international arena, but please don’t make international jokes!

The game started soon, and I have to say that the bodies of these furry bears are really bigger than the last, and they all look like bears.

Except for power forward Yi Jianlian, who is taller than Kirilenko, everyone else on the Chinese team looks smaller than their opponent.

However, in the only matchup with a physical advantage, Mao Xiong took the initiative to switch defense, leaving Mozgov to defend Yi Jianlian.

Both sides showed their respective characteristics as soon as the game started.

The characteristic of the Huaguo team is that under the leadership of Li Kaiming, the offensive firepower is obviously stronger than the Mao Xiong team, but the defense is worse than the Mao Xiong team.

After the two sides faced off on the field, Li Kaiming realized why the Bears were not the team with the most NBA players among European teams, but they were the team with the strongest defense.

Because their cooperation on the defensive end is really seamless, and their defensive style perfectly fits their physical characteristics, they are reckless and fierce!

After the first quarter, even the Chinese team with Li Kaiming could only score 17-15 and lead the Bears by 2 points. They only scored 10 points after playing 17 minutes. It can be seen that this game was a defensive game from the beginning. Great war.

Kirilenko is worthy of being a former defensive master and an all-around defender. The defensive pressure he put on the Spanish team was much stronger than that of the Spanish team in the previous game. But even so, Li Kaiming still scored 7 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists in a single quarter.

In the second quarter, it was the rotation lineups of both sides to play, but within 4 minutes of the Huaguo team's play, Deng Dehua replaced Li Kaiming. The main reason was that no one on the Huaguo team could score.

The Bears' defense was too strong. After 3 minutes, Wang Zhizhi scored 4 points with his singles under the basket and post-up steps, and the rest of the team couldn't make a single shot.

Of course, David Blatter also knew the power of Li Kaiming. When he saw Li Kaiming on the Chinese team, he also decisively took Kirilenko, preparing for the latter to play the same game in this game.

Li Kaiming did not disappoint Deng Dehua. Even though he was facing Kirilenko, he still showed explosive scoring ability from the beginning.

After receiving the ball from the outside, he faced Kirilenko and then pulled it up and threw it. Kirilenko blocked it with all his strength, but Li Kaiming's shot still hit the net.

Immediately afterwards, the Bears gave Mozgov a hard hit under the basket and Yi Jianlian missed. Li Kaiming grabbed the backcourt rebound and dribbled forward. After arriving in the frontcourt, he made an emergency stop, shook Kirilenko, and then Hesitantly accelerates to the three-point line, and pulls up the jump shot from the mid-range!

The basketball hit the board and Li Kaiming scored 5 points in a row!

David Blatt's back molars were almost chewed out on the sidelines!

Okay, okay, you can still play basketball like this, right?

Will this mud horse be allowed to be played by others?

So in the following time, the Bears added another top treatment to Kirilenko's single defense, double-teaming Li Kaiming when he caught the ball or shot!

When David Blatt proposed this candidate tactic, Kirilenko expressed disdain and patted his chest saying that he could handle the guy named Li Kaiming alone.

But before the first half was over, Kirilenko changed his mind. Not only did he accept David Blatt's proposal, he even took the initiative to communicate with his teammates during the defensive process and asked them to help him defend.

Even the Bears players were silent now...

What kind of person is Kirilenko? He is almost No. 1 in Mao Xiong's country, equivalent to Yao Ming before Li Kaiming appeared. He is even more unique in the national team, the absolute boss and core figure.

But such a heroic figure couldn't guard against the Chinese kid opposite him?

Mao Xiong's adjustment on the defensive end had an immediate effect, and Li Kaiming's scoring efficiency quickly dropped.

But the problem is that a team's defensive resources are limited. If more resources are invested in defending Li Kaiming, there will inevitably be holes elsewhere.

When Li Kaiming found out that the opponent had adjusted, he naturally would not fight head-on. After all, Europe's top defensive team was not just for nothing, so he transformed into a sexy dealer in the next period of time, restraining the opponent in various ways and then dealing cards to A shooter from the outside.

Wang Zhizhi, the big brother, stood up again. His rich experience and technical skills in competitions made him an offensive kaleidoscope. After receiving Li Kaiming's pass, he kept hitting shots with his hands up and down, and finally scored before the end of the half. The difference reached 5 points.

Seeing that the Chinese team took the lead again after halftime, domestic fans could no longer sit still and began to celebrate the rise of the men's basketball team!

If the victory over the strongest team in Europe in the last game was determined by chance, then playing against the strongest defensive team in Europe in this game is definitely a manifestation of strength!

When did the Chinese men's basketball team achieve such dominance in the international arena?

Even Zhang Weiping sighed during the halftime break, "The Huaguo men's basketball team has really changed its look. It has a fighting and high-spirited look from the inside out! Perhaps this is the reason for ushering in a young core of the team. The effect it brings..."

In the second half of the game, the Bears still started from defense and continued to increase the intensity of defense. This is something that can't be helped. Do you think David Blatt doesn't want to strengthen the offense?

The prerequisite for strengthening your offense is that you have to attack!

As for the Mao Bears, a group of five big and three thick, letting them play defense can give you some tricks, but letting them attack will make things difficult for them.

Especially the two NBA insiders Kirilenko and Mozgov. Kirilenko could score 16 points in his peak period. Mozgov was an undrafted player in the same year as Li Kaiming and averaged 5 points and 4 rebounds per game last season. , the two strongest players of the Bears are at this level, how much stronger can the other players be offensively?

In the end, the basketball game is about who can throw the ball into the basket better and who scores more points. When your defense cannot crush the opponent, the offense is obviously much stronger than the defense.

This game was a vivid portrayal. At the end of the game, the Chinese team defeated the Mao Bears 81-73 and achieved two consecutive victories in the group stage.
