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

The game started quickly in the second quarter. Because Williams played well in the second half of the first quarter, Raptors head coach Dwayne Casey still put Williams on the court at the beginning of the second quarter. Put it on the field.

Williams involuntarily shrank his neck after seeing Li Kaiming on the stage.

It's not that he lacks confidence or anything, the main reason is that he and Li Kaiming are too familiar with each other and often train together during the offseason. Of course, this kind of training usually involves him being beaten unilaterally, so in Williams' heart, Li Kaiming, in addition to being In addition to brothers, he also plays the role of a big devil.

After the game came up, the Raptors served. Williams dribbled to the frontcourt, called for a pick-and-roll and wanted to break through inside. After rushing into the penalty area, he found Li Kaiming rushing over from one side. He was so frightened that he immediately moved the ball. , and finally DeRozan made a strong shot.

Casey frowned on the sidelines. What's going on with Elliott? Why didn't he dare to fight when he saw Li Kaiming? Could it be that he was worried about being a teammate in college?

Of course, Casey didn't know what kind of psychological shadow Li Kaiming had left on Williams. If he had known, he would have been unable to help but forgive the latter.

The Wizards attacked. After reaching the frontcourt, the point guard handed the ball to Li Kaiming. After receiving the ball, the latter changed direction and went inside. The Raptors came to double-team. Li Kaiming passed the ball to Thompson on the outside, who shot a three-pointer. Take it firmly!

Thompson's performance in the first round of the playoffs was so impressive, which also enhanced his confidence, and he was still feeling hot in the second round.

The Raptors attacked, and after the ball was dribbled into the frontcourt, DeRozan passed it to DeRozan for a single. The latter made a triple threat and then rushed inside with Thompson. When he reached the waist, he made a fake turn and then hit a fadeaway jumper!

32 to 26, when the Raptors can't hit the basket, DeRozan's singles are their most powerful weapon.

Li Kaiming caught the ball in the backcourt and dribbled it across half court. Facing Johnson, he changed direction and then picked up and threw it. The latter could only watch the basketball fall into the basket.

35 to 26, Li Kaiming suddenly exerted his strength after coming up in the second quarter, attacking and passing, helping the team score 6 points.

Casey sighed helplessly on the sidelines. Before the game, he studied Li Kaiming's game videos countless times, and finally found that the best way to defend is to defend alone, with at most some help and harassment. This level of defense is basically Test Li Kaiming's touch.

But he knew in his heart that if he double-teamed and adopted more aggressive defense, the Raptors would only die faster!

Didn’t you see that in the last round of the Hawks, their head coach Mike Budenholzer chose to double-team Li Kaiming and prevent him from taking action. As you can see, the rest of the Wizards completely exploded, especially the outside shooters. We have won every 4 games!

To put it simply, if you defend Li Kaiming alone, you will not necessarily lose, but if you double-team Li Kaiming, you will definitely die miserably!

The Hawks learned from the past, Casey will never die in the same way at the hands of the Wizards.

Of course, in Li Kaiming's eyes, his defensive strategy is equivalent to saying, "You can play alone, if you dare, beat me to death!"

Li Kaiming had never heard such a nonsensical request for the ball in his life, so of course he had to satisfy Coach Casey's needs.

In the next game, Li Kaiming fully demonstrated his dominance as the fourth consecutive scoring champion. On the offensive end, he turned into an offensive kaleidoscope. Facing the old cold-leg defense of uncle Amir Johnson, Li Kaiming showed off his offensive skills in various ways.

Early change of direction for a layup, a pull-up mid-range jumper, a turnaround fadeaway jumper, a three-threat pull-up or a breakthrough, a three-pointer without the ball...

The MCI Center turned into Li Kaiming's technology exhibition and conference. Amir Johnson was beaten so hard that his beard was so angry that he made all kinds of tricks, but he still couldn't guard against Li Kaiming!

Even Casey on the sidelines was heartbroken and began to double-team Li Kaiming in the fourth quarter.

When most people feel smooth, they will try to take action even when facing double teams, but Li Kaiming has a very clear mind. Furthermore, he has no scoring record at all. He only does things that can help the team win the game. .

So after Casey implemented the double-teaming tactic, Li Kaiming used an exquisite behind-the-back pass in the first round to give Brac a dunk under the basket!

Seeing this scene, Casey directly said America's quintessence, "FXXK!"

最终全场比赛结束，奇才队在主场以118比101轻松战胜猛龙队，李凯明全场出战38分钟，投篮25中16，其中三分球6中3，罚球5中4，得到39分13篮板8助攻2盖帽1抢断。

Leonard worked hard on the defensive end throughout the game, because the Raptors starting small forward Terrence Ross he faced was a guy who averaged 39 three-pointers per game with a 2.2% field goal percentage. He was relaxed, so he only had the chance to take action during the substitute stage, scoring 12 points, 6 rebounds and 1 steal.

However, his defensive effect is also very significant. Terrence Ross, who averaged 10 points per game in the regular season, did not score 1 point tonight and was prevented from making 3 turnovers.

Klay Thompson, on the other hand, continued his hot touch from the first round from beyond the three-point line, hitting 5 three-pointers and scoring 19 points and 4 rebounds.

On the second day after the game, a piece of news that was like a nuclear bomb explosion ignited the entire American public opinion circle!

The NBA official website announced the regular season MVP award for the 2013-2014 season this morning. The winner of this honor is Washington Wizards forward Li Kaiming!

It is worth mentioning that this is the third consecutive year that Li Kaiming has won the regular season MVP, which also makes him the third player in the entire NBA history, after Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain and Big Bird Larry Bird. Four people who won three consecutive MVPs!

This achievement was not even achieved by basketball god Michael Jordan, but it was achieved by Li Kaiming!

In fact, Jordan has a chance to win three consecutive MVPs, but due to so-called aesthetic fatigue, the Bulls won 96 wins in the 97-69 season, while the Jazz, who were first in the Western Conference, only had 64 wins. Jordan's statistics are also very impressive, but This regular season MVP was awarded to Jazz star Karl Malone, causing Jordan to miss out on three consecutive MVP awards.

Li Kaiming led the team to an astounding 74 wins, the best record in history, and personally took the first place in 5 of the 4 basic statistics. The team results and personal performance were all impeccable, which allowed him to win this three-game winning streak. MVP.

As long as the team's record is worse, or the personal data performance is worse, this three-consecutive MVP is impossible.

Because it can be seen from the MVP voting results that with Li Kaiming's performance, there was no problem with unanimous MVP votes, but the final result was that he only got 125 of the 123 first-place votes, and the rest One of the two was voted for Kevin Durant and the other was voted for LeBron James.

Even such a performance cannot win the unanimous MVP, which gives people reason to believe that the unanimous MVP may be an achievement that can never be achieved for Li Kaiming!

Of course, in addition to the shocking three consecutive MVPs, Li Kaiming also had other records when he won the MVP.

Li Kaiming became the seventh player in history to win the scoring title and regular season MVP in a single season after Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Jordan, O'Neal, Kobe Bryant and James.

At the same time, he also became the third person in history to win the regular season MVP and the best defensive player in a single season, following Michael Jordan and Hakeem Olajuwon.

Tied with Jordan as the only two people in history to win the scoring title, MVP and best defensive player in a single season...

To put it bluntly, the announcement of this MVP instantly elevated Li Kaiming from a Hall of Fame star to a top ten player in history!

Because among the records he has achieved, there are also some great celebrities who can be ranked at the forefront of NBA history!

Before the second game of the series on May 5, new NBA President Adam Silver came to the MCI Center and presented Li Kaiming with his first regular season MVP trophy.

Adam Xiaohua is a tall, thin, middle-aged white man with a bald head. After handing the MVP trophy to Li Kaiming, he stretched out his hand to shake Li Kaiming's hand.

"Li, if there is a chance, I would like to buy you a cup of coffee." Amidst the cheers of tens of thousands of people, Xiao Hua's voice penetrated into Li Kaiming's ears.

Smiling at the camera, Li Kaiming shook Xiao Hua's hand a few times and said, "It's a great honor."

Although I don’t know why the new league president suddenly wants to talk to me, but after all, he is the public face of the NBA league, and he still has to give him the face he deserves.

After Xiao Hua left, Li Kaiming raised the MVP trophy above his head with both hands amid thunderous screams and cheers at the MCI Center!

At this time, Elliott Williams, who was on the visiting team's bench, suddenly became unhappy after seeing this scene.

As Li Kaiming's good brother, he certainly knew that Li Kaiming would be in a very hot state that night when he won the MVP trophy. But the problem was that he was not in the audience tonight, but Li Kaiming's opponent!

it's over...

Sure enough, as soon as the game started, it went in the worst direction Williams expected.

Not only does Li Kaiming feel very hot, he is also very aggressive offensively and takes a lot of shots. He scored 20 points in the first quarter alone!

At this time, Casey on the sidelines had no choice but to use the double-teaming tactic again and actively begged for death, in order to prevent himself from becoming a backdrop while losing and suffering a double blow.

Fortunately, Li Kaiming also feels very sorry for the Raptors. After all, it is the team where his good brothers belong. If the opponent is the Heat tonight, he will have to do more than 50!

So after the Raptors double-teamed him, he followed the trend and switched from attacking mode to passing mode, using his own restraint to distribute the ball to his teammates.

Under his leadership, the Wizards' offensive firepower was like a Gatling gun with blue flames, spitting out tongues of fire crazily!

The opposing Raptors were completely suppressed, and the game finally came to an end with the Wizards beating the Raptors 126-97.

Li Kaiming scored a triple-double of 31 points, 11 rebounds and 16 assists, barely celebrating his MVP night.
