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

When the Eastern Conference All-Stars won the game, Li Kaiming rushed over and jumped to celebrate with his teammates!

李凯明全场出战了31分钟，得到29分13篮板5助攻3盖帽。

On the big screen after the game, the home broadcaster had listed all the statistics of the Eastern Conference stars, and even thoughtfully marked the statistics of Li Kaiming and James.

詹姆斯今晚的表现确实很不错，全场下来得到35分8篮板7助攻1抢断2盖帽，比赛影响力也非常不错。

Soon came the MVP award ceremony after the game. David Stern announced tonight's MVP winner under the focus of the media.

"In the 2012-2013 season, the MVP of the Houston All-Star Game is LeBron James from the Miami Heat!"

At the same time, tonight's voting results were also displayed on the big screen. Among the 12 media who were eligible to vote, Li Kaiming only received one vote from the Chinese media, and the remaining 11 all chose James!

Although Li Kaiming didn't attach much importance to the All-Star Game MVP, the result in front of him still made him somewhat dissatisfied.

America's intention to promote her country's star is too obvious!

His performance last time could be said to have completely surpassed that of James, but the media actually let him and James share the All-Star MVP.

This time, judging from the data, he and James also had a win-or-lose relationship. As a result, the American media all chose James without hesitation. This fool can see what these guys want to do...

After hearing that he was the All-Star MVP this time, James, who was standing next to Wade, raised his hands excitedly, then walked over and took the MVP trophy from David Stern's hand!

The surrounding players and the players on the scene spontaneously applauded, and the scene also rang out MVP calls for a while.

In competitive sports, happiness is always based on the pain of others.

The happiness of James and the Eastern stars is obviously based on the pain of the Western stars.

Since Li Kaiming entered the All-Star Game, no star in the Western Conference has been able to get the MVP of the All-Star Game. How can this make those Western Conference stars itch with hatred!

Especially Kobe and Durant. The former was robbed of the extremely important Staples All-Star MVP, while the latter can only be suppressed after his rise!

Unknowingly, Li Kaiming has become the biggest obstacle in the eyes of these superstars in the NBA. After all, honors are limited. If Li Kaiming eats more of this cake, other stars will have less.

James also has the support of America's media. As long as it involves voting honors, he may make some profit while Li Kaiming eats meat. But what about Kobe and Durant?

As he gets older, he says he still wants to win the championship, but as time goes by, the Lakers' door to winning the championship is about to close. Even if they get the second-generation F4 together this season, there are currently big problems. The Lakers' record Still lingering on the edge of the playoffs, there is even a possibility of not making it to the playoffs.

Although the other one is on the rise in his career, he has signed the third Nike lifetime contract. Unfortunately, the number one player in Nike is obviously James. James has not even won the championship, so how can he directly push Durant with all his strength?

Such an All-Star who looked happy and peaceful on the surface, but had an undercurrent surging behind the scenes, came to an end just like this!

After the All-Star break, there are only about 82 games out of 30 in the regular season, so these 30 games are the key to determining the playoff spots.

Each team increases their power and strives for victory, starting the final stage of the season after the All-Star Game!

The Heat are indeed playing well this season. While their record is closely following the Wizards, they also became the second team in the league to maintain a complete victory for the entire month, just like the Wizards in February!

In addition, the Heat's state has been maintained for a long time. A complete victory in February is not their end. After entering March, their winning streak continues. As time goes by, the Heat even broke the record in mid-March. The Wizards’ longest winning streak of the season!

最终热火队从2月1号开始，一直连胜到了3月26号，取得了队史最长的27连胜！

The Heat's terrifying state has left many media and basketball commentators stunned. During this period, 5 out of 3 basketball programs were discussing the Heat's prospects, and 2 out of the remaining 1 was analyzing. Heat and Wizards offensive and defensive drills...

When the Heat achieved this kind of record, the Player of the Month in February and March was naturally awarded to James. Fans and media have even begun to build momentum for James to win the regular season MVP again this season!

But while almost everyone is paying attention to the Heat's history-making winning streak, the Wizards far north are also winning. Although they don't have such a long winning streak, the team is playing steadily under the leadership of Li Kaiming. On average, you lose one game for every ten games you win...

Li Kaiming has never been interested in media attention. He even believes that the less media attention the Wizards have, the better. It is best to focus on the Heat, which has a winning streak, so that the Wizards can make a fortune quietly!

However, just as the Wizards and Heat in the East were silently competing with each other on record, an earthquake-like news suddenly came from the West!

Lakers star Kobe Bryant was injured in a regular season, but Kobe was also a very tough guy who insisted on taking free throws before limping off the court. The post-game examination report showed that Kobe suffered a grade three rupture of his Achilles tendon!

Because the Lakers' F4 formation during the offseason was not very effective, in order to fulfill his promise to lead the team into the playoffs, Kobe started a violent singles mode after the All-Star Game, and eventually overworked and ruptured his Achilles tendon...

Dwight Howard said in an interview, "Without Kobe, he would have taken on the responsibility of being the team leader..."

Of course, some reporters asked Li Kaiming about this in the post-game interview. Li Kaiming politely wished Kobe Bryant a speedy recovery and his return to the game.

But in his heart, he disagreed with this. Although it is touching to break the Achilles tendon, you choose your own teammates. Regardless of the lineup, you have to bear the consequences in the end.

Basketball is a team game, and every player on the court is an important part of the team's offensive and defensive machine. If you don't look at suitability and just pile up stars, wouldn't the basketball game become a poker game? Whoever has the higher card wins?

Kobe Bryant's season reimbursement is just a small episode for Li Kaiming, and it is not even as important as the comeback of his good senior brother Derrick Rose.

Because the Wizards also had a game that day, Li Kaiming couldn't go to the scene to cheer Rose on. He just sent a text message to encourage Rose.

A large part of the reason why Ross was able to recover from his injuries and get on the court so quickly was due to the help of Li Kaiming and Williams in helping Ross with his psychological development.

Otherwise, given Rose's sap personality, he might even retire...

The time came on the evening of April 4. Li Kaiming received a pass from Hinrich and directly hit a three-pointer!

There was a burst of sparse applause in the MCI Center, and the referee blew the whistle. It turned out that the opposite head coach took the initiative to call a timeout!

On the big screen overhead, the score between the two sides was 112 to 87. The Wizards led by 25 points and there were still 6 minutes left. It was difficult for this Bucks team to score 25 points in one quarter, let alone chase 25 points. .

So the head coach of the Bucks simply called a timeout, replaced all the main players, and gave the Wizards a French military salute directly at the MCI Center!

Sanders also replaced Li Kaiming, and Li Kaiming hugged Sanders when he came off the field.

"The long regular season is finally over..."

"Yes, thank you for your hard work..."

Sanders smiled and patted Li Kaiming on the back, and the wrinkles on his face were squeezed together.

I don’t know why, but Li Kaiming always feels that the old man Sanders has aged very quickly in the past two years. Half of his hair was still black before, but now it is all white...

In the end, this game that symbolized the end of the Wizards' season came to an end. The Wizards' record in the 2012-2013 season was also fixed at 69 wins and 13 losses!

This record is the best record in the Wizards' history and also the best record in Sanders' coaching career!

Li Kaiming and the main players of the team stood up to greet the substitutes and water cooler players who came off the field, and finally hugged the players of the opponent Bucks.

With a terrifying record of 69 wins and 13 losses, the Wizards undoubtedly ranked first in the league for two consecutive years!

Although the Heat's record in media promotion is very fierce, they can only rank second in the league with a record of 66 wins and 16 losses throughout the season.

It can be seen from this that sometimes the strongest ones are not the ones with the most publicity. The real strong people never rely on publicity to show their strength.

The Wizards and Heat, two teams with 65+ wins in the East, are far ahead. Starting from the Knicks, who are third in the East, the number of wins dropped to 50 in an instant. It can be seen that the Wizards and Heat are completely in the Eastern Division. The existence of two broken gears!

The 4th to [-]th places in the Eastern Conference are the Indiana Pacers, Brooklyn Nets, Chicago Bulls, Atlanta Hawks and Boston Celtics respectively!

In other words, the Wizards' opponent in the first round of the playoffs is the Green Army with Garnett and Pierce. This is also the first time that Li Kaiming has faced the Green Army in the playoffs since he entered the league.

The record in the Western Conference is relatively even. The first place in the Western Conference is the Thunder led by Durant, and it is also the third team in the league to win 60 games. From second to eighth are the San Antonio Spurs, Denver Nuggets, and Los Angeles Quick. Ship, Memphis Grizzlies, Golden State Warriors, Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Lakers!

The Lakers were equipped with one of Kobe's Achilles tendons, and in the end they only entered the playoffs at the tail end. In this state, they were lucky not to be swept by the Thunder...

Li Kaiming played all 82 games this season, averaging 31 points in 29.8 minutes per game. This is the second consecutive year that his scoring average has dropped, and it is also the first time in his career that his scoring average has dropped below 30. However, even so, the scoring champion this season still belongs to Anthony, who ranks second in the scoring list, averages 28.7 points per game, which is still far behind him.

However, compared to the three consecutive scoring champions, what makes Li Kaiming feel even more comfortable is that he became the league's rebounding leader with an average of 13.1 rebounds per game!

场均9.2个助攻排在联盟助攻榜的第3位，与此同时他还以场均2.4个盖帽排在盖帽榜的第5，场均1.8抢断排在联盟第9！

This is also the first time in NBA history that someone ranks in the top ten in the league in all five statistics!

Although his score dropped, Li Kaiming showed more diverse dominance from other dimensions!
