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

The other four players in the starting lineup had already appeared, and only Li Kaiming was left in the dark tunnel. He stood there and waited for a while, and finally heard the familiar voice of the DJ.

"The last one, let us welcome the Olympic champion from China! mvp! All-star, champion member! Li! Kai! Ming!"

DJ lengthened his voice, but when he spoke, the entire MCI center was already agitated. When Li Kaiming's name was read out, the Washington fans had already started shouting MVP in unison, welcoming Li Kaiming's appearance!

"Mvp! Mvp! Mvp!"

Li Kaiming took a deep breath, and then slowly ran out along the player tunnel. The enthusiastic fans on both sides of the tunnel extended a large hand. Li Kaiming high-fived some fans while running, and finally stood amidst the cheers of the audience. On the court.

After the appearance ceremony, the lights returned to normal, and players from both sides of the game came to their respective benches. At this time, NBA official staff and league president David Stern also came to the court. What followed was exciting. session, awarding last season’s championship rings, and raising the championship flag at the MCI Center!

Under the light of the O'Brien Cup, Li Kaiming took over this precious championship ring from David Stern.

Players who have played in the finals will have their names and performance in the finals engraved on their rings. The championship ring is made of 14k white gold and is studded with densely packed precious diamonds. In the center is a The Wizards team logo is made up of huge blue diamonds.

As for Li Kaiming's ring, it has more elements than others, because his ring has the shape of a small FMVP trophy on it, which is considered a unique feature.

The rest of the team also had happy smiles on their faces after receiving the championship rings. After all, most people here did not expect that a team like the Wizards could actually win the championship.

After the rings were awarded, all members of the Wizards put on championship rings, then gathered around the championship trophy in the center, stretched out their hands to the camera, showed the rings, and took a very commemorative group photo.

Then came the flag-raising ceremony. Witnessed by the audience and players from both sides, the Wizards' 2011-2012 season championship flag was also operated by the staff and slowly rose up to the dome of the arena amid the cheers of the fans. , and ended up hanging next to the 1977-1978 championship banner!

Seeing the flag flying over the arena, Li Kaiming also felt a rare feeling of pride in his heart!

This is the championship I have worked hard for myself!

From awarding rings to raising the championship flag, all these things were seen by the opposing Cavaliers players. The Cavaliers players showed envy in their eyes, and even head coach Brown Scott was not immune.

The joyful award ceremony ended and the opening game officially started. The starting lineups of both sides were shown on the big screen in the arena.

Washington Wizards: Point guard Kirk Hinrich, shooting guard Klay Thompson, small forward Kawhi Leonard, power forward Kaiming Lee, center Andre Blatche.

Cleveland Cavaliers: Point guard Kyrie Irving, shooting guard Dion West, small forward Alonzo Gee, power forward Tristan Thompson, center Andrew Varejao.

The centers of both sides stood in the center circle and prepared to jump the ball. The referee threw the ball into the sky with one hand. A whistle blew. Blach was faster than Varejao, helping the Wizards win the first ball in the opening game!

The ball was given to Hinrich, who dribbled past half court. Blach went up to pick and roll. The two of them moved to the free throw line. The Cavaliers' formation shrank. Hinrich took the ball to the outside and gave it to the side at 45 degrees. Li Kaiming.

Tristan Thompson, who was facing Li Kaiming, rushed over to defend, so Li Kaiming passed the ball to Clay in the bottom corner, who took the shot directly after receiving the ball!

After two months of special training, Klay's body was not only in better shape than last season, but his hand was even hotter. With a swish, Klay used one for the Wizards' first goal of the new season. Three-pointer won!

3 is better than 0!

The Cavaliers attacked. Irving dribbled the ball across half court and called Varejao to come out to cover. Then a butterfly came out between Hinrich and Blach, and then he pulled it up from the mid-range and shot!

The basketball hit the rim. Under the backboard, Tristan Thompson was not nervous at all when facing Li Kaiming. He insisted on having a battle with Li Kaiming about rebounding. Unfortunately, the problem is that this guy's rebounding awareness is really good. Unfortunately, he is tall. He is so short that he is simply not in the same position as Li Kaiming.

Coupled with Li Kaiming's jumping ability, which can win the slam dunk title, he quickly took the lead in the rebound competition and helped the team win the rebound.

The ball was given to Hinrich, who dribbled past half court. Li Kaiming blocked Tristan Thompson in the low post. The latter was also eager to challenge his defense.

It's a pity that after Li Kaiming caught the ball, he turned around, picked up and threw it. When Tristan Thompson wanted to defend, Li Kaiming had already leaned back and shot. A beautiful arc passed through, and the basketball went hollow into the net!

5 is better than 0!

The Wizards came out with all their firepower, and their shooting was so hot!

Irving of the Cavaliers naturally couldn't let his team fall behind, so he chose to stand up and face Hinrich's one-on-one defense. He changed direction in front of his body and then went to the mid-range and made a shooting motion. Hinrich Qi was shaken by him, but it turned out to be a hesitant fake move by Irving. Then he turned around and went to the basket to face Blaqi and scored!

I have to say that Irving really has a way of scoring difficult goals, and his movements are cool and smooth. No wonder he is so popular!

The Wizards' next tactical attack was seen through by the Cavaliers. The ball was given to Li Kaiming inside for a one-on-one challenge, but the Cavaliers chose to double-team, so Li Kaiming gave the ball to Leonard on the outside. The robot took the shot confidently after receiving the ball, but unfortunately the shot still failed. Unstable as always, with a bang, the rebound was taken by Varejao. Irving dribbled the ball and struck out quickly. He took three slow steps to get past Hinrich and prepared for a layup, but was directly nailed by Li Kaiming, who had been following him for a long time. Big hat refuses!

The rebound was grabbed by Leonard who was following behind. At this time, Li Kaiming was about to get off the ball. Leonard threw the ball forward!

After receiving the ball, Li Kaiming only dribbled for a moment, and then started to combine the ball in three steps from the three-point line. When he met the Cavaliers' defense in the middle distance, Li Kaiming circled the ball over his head and at the same time, a European step directly hit the Cavaliers player. It was given a clean sweep!

When they got to the basket, the Cavaliers already had the Brazilian movie star Varejao left. Meeting old friends, how could Li Kaiming not give this guy a little greeting gift?

So he directly hit Varejao with a dunk!

The dunk caused the latter to take three steps back and hit the basketball stand before stopping!

Mr. Watt! All encounters in this world are reunions after a long absence. Do you still like this meeting gift?

But looking at Varejao’s expression, he probably doesn’t like it very much!

The lineups of the Wizards and the Cavaliers are not at the same level at all. The strongest player on the Cavaliers is actually rookie Irving. He averaged 18.5 points per game last season. Everyone else averaged about 10 points per game. The two of them were beaten by Li Kaiming alone.

In addition, the Wizards players got championship rings tonight, and they were excited and felt extremely hot. In the first quarter, except for Blatche, who couldn't get out of the paint, everyone hit a three-pointer, and the team also started with Leading the Cavaliers by 27 points 22 to 5.

In the second quarter, the two sides began to compete for rotation lineups, and the Cavaliers were even more unsatisfied. Leonard was the leader of the Wizards' rotation phase. Facing the Cavaliers' forwards, this guy was simply a basketball confiscation machine.

In less than half a quarter, he snatched two balls from his opponent Alonzoji. In addition, he also gave the latter two turnovers, preventing Alonzoji from passing the ball when he saw him. He didn't even dare to take the ball.

By the time Sanders brought up the starting lineup again, the Wizards had already opened up the point difference to 9 points. In this case, there was no need for Li Kaiming to be polite. In the second half of the second quarter, he scored 7 points in a row, and immediately The Wizards entered the halftime break with a 12-point difference.

Even the on-site commentator at the MCI Center said with emotion: "After winning the championship last season, the Wizards this season seem to be stronger and can move freely, and even the defense that was criticized before can completely suppress the opponent. Whoever wants to win the championship this season, the Wizards are still their biggest opponent!"

The intermission ended quickly, and back in the third quarter, Irving suddenly started to explode on the Cavaliers' side. He scored 7 points in a row from inside and outside, narrowing the point difference to 5 points. Sanders called a timeout to stabilize the game. After taking a look at the situation, the Wizards still didn't panic at all.

Back to the game, Hinrich caught the ball in the backcourt and dribbled across half court, facing Irving's defense, this time playing a pick-and-roll with Li Kaiming.

Trestan Thompson was afraid that Li Kaiming would catch the ball and throw a three-pointer, so he positioned his defense very outside. As a result, Li Kaiming used a fake pick-and-roll. After blocking for a while, he suddenly turned around and stepped into the penalty area. At the same time, Hinrich also had a tacit understanding and took the ball. Throw the ball toward the basket!

Li Kaiming stepped on the floor of the penalty area and took off, then glided in the air to catch the ball and dunk with both hands!

The Cavaliers still handed the ball to Irving for a one-on-one challenge. Irving still relied on his superb passing skills to break through Hinrich's defense. However, during the timeout just now, Sanders specifically emphasized his assistance in defending Irving. At this time Li Kaiming directly let go of his opponent Tristan Thompson and rushed to block Irving's shot.

Irving was also very straightforward. When he saw Li Kaiming coming over, he made an adjustment in the air, deliberately increased the arc and continued to shoot. The ball almost flew past Li Kaiming's fingertips, but this time the defense still affected Irving's touch. After urgently increasing the arc, The ball was short and the rebound was grabbed by Brac.

The Wizards' sudden increase in defensive intensity stunned the Cavaliers. After Irving scored 7 points in a row, the Cavaliers faced a 4-minute scoring drought due to the Wizards' perverted defense.

In these 4 minutes, the Cavaliers were held back by the Wizards without scoring a single point. In the end, Irving stepped up and made a mid-range jumper to help the team break the scoring drought. But by this time, the Cavaliers had already scored. 15 points behind...

The gap between the lineups of both sides is here. As long as the Wizards don't deliberately mess up, it will still be difficult for the Cavaliers to chase points. The 15-point gap may not seem big, but from the perspective of the Cavaliers, it is simply a chasm that is simply insurmountable. They keep playing. At 7 minutes of the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers head coach found that he could not get closer to the score, so he called a timeout without the ball, replaced the main force, and raised the white flag to surrender!

At the end of the game, the Wizards firmly defeated the Cavaliers 107-95, getting a good start to the new season!

李凯明全场出战32分钟，得到29分13篮板8助攻3盖帽1抢断，伦纳德得到了12分7篮板4抢断1盖帽，汤普森得到16分，命中3个三分，这是一场典型的奇才队式胜利！
