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

At eight o'clock in the evening, the Wizards' life-and-death battle officially begins!

Bosh helped the Heat win the opening ball, and Chalmers dribbled to the frontcourt.

Winning the battle at Tianwangshan greatly boosted James' confidence. Tonight is home, so he naturally wants to help the team win the game.

Therefore, his offensive aggressiveness was relatively strong from the beginning. Facing Leonard's defense, he wanted the ball to come over and use Haslem's pick-and-roll to move inside.

James' ability to use pick-and-rolls to catch mismatched breakthroughs is indeed the best in history. After his one-step burst of speed, even with Li Kaiming inside to help defend, it is difficult to defend.

Leonard was chasing after him, and Brac was squatting inside. After James reached the penalty area, he directly pushed up against Brac. After staying in the air for a while, he hit a rebound layup!

2 is better than 0!

The fans at the Heat's home court cheered for joy. The home team performed well right from the start. Of course, they were very happy.

The Wizards dribbled to the frontcourt. Li Kaiming walked out from the baseline along the three-point line, then turned around and cut inside while reaching for Hinrich for the ball.

The moment the ball was passed in, Li Kaiming was targeted by three people from the Heat, but he showed no fear. He turned around and twisted his body in the air to shoot without even catching the ball!

Swish!

A mid-range hollow hit, Li Kaiming's shot was so fast that the ball flew into the basket before the Heat players could react!

2 to 2 draw!

After scoring the goal, Li Kaiming ran toward the backcourt with no expression on his face. The camera at the scene focused on his face. For some reason, almost everyone couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts when they saw Li Kaiming's face!

Especially Li Kaiming's eyes, when looking in any direction, are emotionless. It seems that what is in front of him is not a living object, but a dead silence!

The Heat attacked, and after Wade made an air cut, he caught the ball and broke through. A European step layup was directly blocked by Li Kaiming, who was assisting on defense!

Leonard grabbed the rebound, and Li Kaiming opened his long legs to launch a fast break. When he rushed to the front, he received a pass from his teammate. At this time, only two people in the Heat, James and Way, could keep up with him. James wanted to come The iconic chasing shot, but Li Kaiming's dunk was very crisp, and all the movements in the air were omitted!

A simple fast break dunk gave Li Kaiming his fourth point of the night.

Spoelstra frowned when he saw this scene next to the court, but then he thought that tonight was his home court, and his brows immediately widened again...

Li Kaiming played all the games in the first quarter. There was no need for the referee to target tonight. The Wizards players themselves were just like the last period of the game, making all kinds of big moves!

This makes things difficult for tonight's referee. You can't really blow the Wizards' main team off. This is the first quarter...

So, at the Devils' away game at American Airlines Arena, the Wizards actually took the lead at the end of the first quarter. The score between the two sides was 27 to 25, only leading by one goal, but at least it was better than being behind by double digits in a single quarter in the previous three games.

In the second quarter, Li Kaiming still did not end the game. He led a five-way lineup to compete with the Heat in rotation.

Of course, Spoelstra is a very cautious coach. The Heat's rotation includes James, Battier and Ray Allen, which is quite tit-for-tat with the Wizards' five outsiders.

In the second quarter of the game, Li Kaiming was on full fire. The Heat's backup center was Chris Anderson, nicknamed "Birdman." The most eye-catching thing about this guy is his look. He has a cockscomb hairstyle and colorful tattoos all over his body. Looks very tough.

It's a pity that this guy is only strong on the outside but tough on the outside. He looks tough and plays average. He averaged two singles per game last season. The only thing worthy of praise in terms of playing is his jumping.

But against someone like Li Kaiming, who is 2 meters tall and can perform fancy dunks from the free throw line, Anderson was crushed even by his best jumping ability!

In the first two rounds, Anderson tried to defend Li Kaiming alone, but was undoubtedly beaten. Li Kaiming easily hit a three-pointer and broke through.

The Heat began to double-team, but the scale was not ruthless. Spoelstra still underestimated Li Kaiming's determination tonight. Unless the Heat guarded him until he was completely unable to take action, he would defeat the opponent alone today!

Damn it, labor and management can even topple the Dream Team, but can they still be afraid of you, the Heat?

Li Kaiming encountered a double-team after receiving the ball from the outside, then passed the ball to Thompson, and then suddenly squeezed through the defense and rushed to the three-point line.

Thompson also needs to be guarded on the outside. The Heat let Li Kaiming find a loophole. Thompson easily passed a high pass to Li Kaiming who was cutting inside. After the latter got the ball, someone was already ready under the Heat basket, and Anderson behind him also chased him. come over.

Li Kaiming took a chance and shot directly, hitting the ball steadily from mid-range!

The mid-range is indeed a weapon of God. In the high-intensity confrontation in the playoffs, the area from the penalty area to the three-point line is the most difficult position to defend.

Next to the court, Spoelstra finally came to his senses. Li Kaiming tonight seemed a little different from before, a bit like Li Kaiming in the Olympic gold medal game...

Although Spoelstra did not become a member of the old K coaching staff, he still watched the entire Olympic game. The most important purpose was to observe the performance of Li Kaiming, a competitor.

And tonight's Li Kaiming suddenly reminded him of the Li Kaiming who killed everyone in London a few months ago!

Thinking of this, Spoelstra did not hesitate to shout at the Heat players on the court: "Resolutely double-team and never let him take action!"

After hearing this, the Heat players on the field had a daze on their faces. Of course they knew what Spoelstra's words meant, which meant that they had to double-team Li Kaiming at the risk of leaving the rest of the Wizards, and put them on the opposite court. With so many shooters, this choice seems a bit silly!

The Heat attacked James and caused a foul. After going to the free throw line, he made two free throws.

The Wizards' offense came to the frontcourt, and wherever Li Kaiming ran, two people from the Heat would follow him.

The Wizards easily created openings from the outside, and Thompson hit a three-pointer from the corner to help the team maintain its lead.

Since the Heat started to defend like this, Li Kaiming simply became a bait and created opportunities for his teammates.

Fortunately, the teammates have very good hands. Thompson and Leonard have shown a very rare quality among young players, which is the ability to play key games.

This kind of temperament is the key to determining a player's transformation from ordinary to great. This shows that both of them are players who can fight hard, and the Wizards have a very vicious vision.

The second quarter ended quickly, with the two sides tied at 53-48, with the Wizards leading by 5 points.

Li Kaiming played the entire first half and scored 25 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks.

During the halftime break, Sanders asked Li Kaiming if he wanted to take a rest, but Li Kaiming refused!

"We can't slack off in today's game. I'm ready to play the entire game tonight!"

After hearing this, Sanders patted Li Kaiming on the shoulder and said, "We will definitely be able to bring the game back home! With you, it will be possible!"

In the second half of the game, when Li Kaiming took the field again, not only Spoelstra on the sidelines, but also the commentators and many fans on the scene were reminded of the Olympics!

"At last year's London Olympics, Li Kaiming played the entire last two games without a second's rest, leading the Chinese men's basketball team to win the championship. Now he seems to be trying to recreate this miracle!"

"Absolutely impossible! This is Miami, not London!"

"It seems that the Heat are not only the representatives of Miami, but also the representatives of America. If they still lose, then this year will be a shameful year for America basketball!"

Spoelstra also ignored the team's regular rotation and began to increase the playing time of James and others, absolutely not letting Li Kaiming take the opportunity to open up the score!

At the beginning of the third quarter, Li Kaiming showed a different energy.

He used his threat to create opportunities for Brac inside, but unfortunately the latter failed to score at the basket after receiving the ball.

At this time, Li Kaiming suddenly rushed in, picked off rebounds from several inside players, and then scored with a throw!

He won't give up any chance to score!

Seeing that the Wizards were trying to widen the point difference, the referees immediately started performing.

James hit the basket twice and got free throws, but he also paid a heavy price!

Blatche and Li Kaiming under the basket are also very single people. If there is a foul, I will hit him to death and slap and elbow James in various ways!

Although James got 4 free throws, he only made 2 of them. His touch was completely disrupted by the Wizards' vicious fouls!

The intensity of this foul also made the referees on the scene start to weigh it. If James is really eliminated by the Wizards, the NBA and Nike will probably suffer heavy losses, so this is absolutely something that cannot happen!

After these two rounds, the referees appropriately began to maintain fair penalties, and the Wizards reciprocated and reduced dirty moves.

At this time, the score between the two sides has reached 65 to 62, and the Wizards lead by 3 points.

Taking advantage of the normal penalties during this period, Li Kaiming began to increase the number of his shots.

The Wizards' triangle offense constantly created isolation opportunities for him, and he began to show his power by limiting his shots to one dribble after receiving the ball at the waist.

Bosh always moves a beat behind him and cannot interfere with Li Kaiming's shot at all.

When the Heat double-teams Li Kaiming, he distributes the ball to shooters on the outside, or cooperates with his teammates' thugs, and then passes down.

After the penalties returned to normal in the third quarter, the Wizards' offensive firepower suddenly became fierce, scoring 31 points in a single quarter. At the end of the third quarter, they led the Heat by 84 points, 72 to 12!

This completely stunned everyone on the Heat team and the fans at the scene!

What's going on? There was a lot of back and forth in the first two quarters, but why did it suddenly fade away in the third quarter?

But what makes the on-site director even more uneasy is that after three quarters, Li Kaiming has already scored 45 points, 13 rebounds, 9 assists and 2 blocks. If nothing goes wrong, Li Kaiming's data in this game will once again be high-profile in the American Airlines Arena. On the history of...
