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

Of course, the Wizards will not just let it go after suffering such a loss. In the post-game interview, from head coach Sanders to all the players interviewed, they all complained about the referee's penalty and believed that the referee determined the trend of the game. .

Among them, Li Kaiming's answer became a popular one: "In my career, this is the second time that I have been sent off for 6 fouls. It is worth mentioning that the last time was also against the Heat. I am very confident in myself. I think I can grasp the penalty scale of the game very well, but I have never heard of this scale today, especially since I received my fourth foul in the first half. As long as I watch the replay of that goal, it will be obvious. I can tell clearly that LeBron is diving! Come on, I have passed the ball to my teammates on the outside and my speed has slowed down. How could I knock away a guy who is 4cm tall and weighs nearly 203 pounds? Physics doesn’t even exist in the NBA?”

Li Kaiming's sharp comments made this interview a hot topic among American media. Of course, James also responded to this topic.

"I am a tough guy, as can be seen from my playing style. I advocate physical confrontation. I will never dive. The referee made a good penalty on that ball..."

The media publicity effect has not yet arrived, and the league's fine has arrived. The day after the game, the NBA officially issued an announcement regarding Wizards coach Flip Saunders who questioned the referee in the post-game interview, and who also made the same decision. Wizards players who behaved this way were each fined $2!

Black whistles and fines have once again raised the attention and competitiveness of this series to a higher level!

On May 5, the fourth game of the series continued to be held at the American Airlines Center. In tonight's game, the Wizards players became more cautious than in the previous game. When they saw that something was wrong, they simply let the opponent shoot directly.

In this case, there were indeed fewer fouls, but the Heat's shooting percentage skyrocketed, especially since two of the Big Three relied on attacking the inside. The Wizards players did not dare to have physical contact at all. James and Wade broke through Getting to the basket is almost the same as flying to the basket, and naturally the efficiency will be greatly improved!

At the end of the first quarter, the Wizards were 28 points behind 36-8. After the defensive intensity dropped, the Wizards, with two of the best defensive players, actually allowed the Heat to score 36 points in one quarter!

These 36 points are the highest the team has scored in a single quarter this season so far in the playoffs!

There is actually no big problem with the Wizards' offense, but the Heat's defensive intensity has not declined. The Heat players are still defending how they should, and there are a lot of small tricks.

If this game continues like this, the Heat will be defeated by the Heat again tonight!

Sanders on the sidelines gritted his teeth and made up his mind to increase his defensive intensity in the second quarter.

But when the game started, the Wizards players discovered that it was still the original recipe and the same taste!

As long as the Wizards use the same intensity against the Heat, a foul will be called. In the first quarter, the referee saw that the Heat had a good touch and the Wizards did not dare to defend seriously, so they did not blow the whistle. After all, the league also wants to make money. If it's just garbage time, how can we make any money if all the fans run away?

As the intensity increased in the second quarter, Leonard still committed two fouls in a single quarter and thought about his mistakes. Li Kaiming was in a better situation. He committed one foul in the second quarter because he deliberately avoided the defense and saw James not even stretching his hands. Next, I still got blown!

And just when the Wizards thought they would be more restrained in the second game like this, the referee in the third quarter completely showed his fangs!

Li Kaiming received 3 fouls in a single quarter, Leonard committed his 4th foul directly, and Brac in the post also committed 3 fouls in a single quarter. The three of the Wizards became a trio of fouls in this series. , the team's rotation was disrupted again.

At the end of the game, the Heat defeated the Wizards again 121-98, leveling the series!

Li Kaiming only played 30 minutes due to foul trouble and scored 28 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists. Of course, he also committed 5 outstanding fouls.

Leonard played 26 minutes and also committed 5 fouls. Blatche graduated with 6 minutes left in the fourth quarter, becoming the only player to graduate with 6 fouls twice in this series.

For the Heat, James took 19 free throws in the whole game. Even Wade, who was in poor condition due to a knee injury, made 12 free throws in the whole game and scored 27 points.

"James scored 40 points and led the team to equalize the score and beat his opponents twice. Is the finals just around the corner?" 》

"The Wizards narrowly won at home and suffered a huge defeat on the road. Does it mean that the quality of the stars is not as good as that of the Heat?" 》

"The championship value in the shortened season is indeed not as good as in the normal season. Is Li Kaiming just a flash in the pan?" 》

……

The Heat have won two consecutive games, not to mention in America. Even Li Kaiming's home base in China, many columnists and media people have begun to express their opinions on their blogs. In addition to cheering for the Heat, In addition, some even started to play with the history books, believing that last year’s Wizards championship was due to the benefits of the shortened season and was not valuable enough. Of course, the ultimate goal is still directed at Li Kaiming...

Huaguo, Fujian Province, Li Ning Headquarters.

In a luxuriously decorated office, a middle-aged man wearing glasses kept sliding the mouse up and down with a smile on his lips. Obviously, he was very satisfied with the content he was browsing!

Benedict! Benedict! Benedict!

There was a knock on the door, and the man shouted "come in" without raising his head.

A young woman wearing a secretary's uniform walked in with high heels and placed several magazines and newspapers on the bespectacled man's desk.

"Mr. Liu, here are some basketball magazines and newspapers released today. What you asked me to do has been completed. Please take a look!"

The man with glasses raised his head, took the document from the secretary's hand, and then lowered his head to read through it. As time passed by, the smile on the corner of the man's mouth could no longer be concealed and turned into a laugh!

"Hahaha! Okay! You did a good job! I don't believe it. If this round of publicity offensive continues, Hongxin Erke and that Li Kaiming can still be so aloof and indifferent? So what if they lead the Chinese team to win the Olympic championship? As long as we If you reduce your achievements to nothing, then your image will be damaged, and then it will be our harvest time..."

Li Ning was definitely prepared for his move. After signing Wade during the offseason, Li Ning became Hongxinerke's biggest competitor in China. Coincidentally, Li Kaiming also played for Wade's Heat. The biggest rival in the East...

Public opinion warfare and information warfare are equally important in the business field. After the Heat regained the score with two big wins, Li Ning sensed an opportunity to counterattack, so he summoned all his pens and began to publicize it on the Internet and in basketball magazines and newspapers. Bad news for Li Kaiming!

Two days later, on May 2, the game returned to the MCI Center again. Just when everyone in the Wizards thought they could take a breather at home, tonight's referee gave them a head-on blow again!

Leonard fouled 3 times in the half, Li Kaiming fouled 2 times in the half, and the Heat led by 13 points!

After the second half of the game started, Li Kaiming didn't care about the defensive intensity or the referee's standards. Now the two sides have returned to the same starting line. This is an extremely important battle at Tianwangshan, and it is also at home. If this game is lost, , then the Heat will return to the American Airlines Center with match point in hand, and then it will be the end of the Wizards!

So this game must be won!

Li Kaiming directly activated the unlimited singles mode and scored 7 consecutive points at the beginning of the third quarter, which made his opponent Spoelstra call a timeout.

After returning from the timeout, the Heat began to double-team Li Kaiming indefinitely. Even if Li Kaiming wanted to catch the ball by running without the ball, the Heat would double-team without hesitation.

So Li Kaiming had to pass the ball to an open teammate. Although the referee at home was still a descendant of the Sima family, the rest of the Wizards were still in good shape. Thompson made several consecutive responses to help the Wizards seize the score. Even Leonard can hit open three-pointers.

But this is the playoffs, and there is no way to win as long as the offense can't defend the opponent. Although the Wizards seem to be playing very tough, with various difficult goals, arousing waves of cheers in the MCI Center, but The Heat's offense on the opposite side was equally sharp.

The game was entangled in this way until the last five minutes. At this time, Li Kaiming had committed five fouls in three consecutive games. How long the last five minutes can last depends on the referee's expression.

Li Kaiming looked up at the score on the big screen, 93 to 97, with the Heat leading by 4 points.

The Wizards sent a baseline ball, and Hinrich dribbled the ball across half court. After reaching the frontcourt, the ball was passed to Thompson on the outside, who passed it to Li Kaiming, who was back inside.

As soon as the ball came into his hands, the Heat's double-team arrived, but this time Li Kaiming didn't want to pass the ball out. He quickly turned around and headed towards the baseline, and as soon as he took a step, he met Hasler who was coming from the basket. Well, Li Kaiming did not hesitate to pull up and scored two points while surrounded by three people!

95 to 97, the Heat served to the frontcourt, and James reached the three-point line with the help of a pick-and-roll. Li Kaiming resisted the urge to assist in defense and waited for the rebound.

Blatche, who was fouled 4 times under the basket, stood as straight as a telegraph pole. Because every time the referee said that he was pressing down, he just stood there without jumping!

James' layup rolled off the basket due to the interference of Blatche, but Blatche did not react and James grabbed the offensive rebound. At this time, Li Kaiming couldn't bear it anymore and went directly to slap him behind him. Slap James' tip-in!

beep!

When this devilish voice sounded, Sanders on the sidelines suddenly seemed to have had all his energy drained away, and sat down on the bench chair!

Finished!
