After arriving in Las Vegas, as soon as he got off the plane, Li Kaiming felt a heat wave hitting his face!
The atmosphere in the casino is so hot that it rivals those beauties in bikinis on the beach!
The Wizards' first opponent is the Warriors, who selected Nigerian forward Epai Udu from Baylor University in the draft this year.
The rest are undrafted players, most notably UConn Huskies captain Jeff Adrian.
The Wizards are quite talented in comparison. In addition to No. 1 pick Li Kaiming, the lineup also includes Wizards backup center JaVale McGee, this year's 56th pick center Hamadien Diaye, and last year's Lester Hudson was picked 58th.
Although the picks are not high, there is still no problem in starting a set of NBA second-round picks.
This year's Las Vegas Summer League has the largest number of participating teams since the league was established.
22 teams chose to come to the casino to hunt for treasure.
The game will be held at the University of Nevada's gymnasium
The Wizards' starters were easily determined before the game.
Point guard Kyle Spann, shooting guard Lester Hudson, forward Carter Martin, power forward Kaiming Li, and center McGee.
Yes, under the premise that Li Kaiming must start, he has to stand at the 4th position.
However, with his technical characteristics, the 4th position can also be controlled with both hands, let alone this is the summer league.
The five players on the Warriors are Jody Bruce, Bill Robinson, Jeff Adrien, Epe Udoh and Marcus Burney.
The game starts after the referee's whistle!
This was the first time that Li Kaiming stood outside the center circle and watched others jump the ball. McGee was indeed an All-Star from the brain down. With a flick of his long arm, he tapped the ball into Li Kaiming's hand. Zheng
After receiving the ball, Li Kaiming threw the ball to point guard Spann, and then quickly charged towards the frontcourt!
The Warriors were obviously not prepared for Li Kaiming's fast break. Only Youdu was aware of Li Kaiming's threat and moved closer to the latter.
But Li Kaiming's 95 attribute speed makes Youdu's defense look a bit ugly.
Because Li Kaiming passed Youdu in one glance, and behind Youdu was the Warriors' empty penalty area!
Spann immediately made a long pass and threw the ball towards the backboard!
I don’t know if this guy was too nervous and actually threw it too big. Seeing that the basketball was about to fly out of the baseline, Li Kaiming gritted his teeth and increased his speed, and finally saved the ball before running out of the court!
After getting the ball, Li Kaiming dunked with both hands on the spot and scored the opening 2 points!
After the dunk landed, a system prompt suddenly appeared in front of him!

The rewards for this summer league mission are a bit low, not as good as the NCAA March Madness game!
It seems that even in the eyes of the system, the level of Xia Lian is extremely low!
The Warriors serve and Bruce dribbles across half court.
The core of the Warriors is undoubtedly Epaiyudu. He is the only high-ranking rookie on the field. If you don't give the ball to him, who will give it to him?
Before the game, some media were hyping up the showdown between Li Kaiming and Youdu, but more people believed that the two were not on the same level at all.
After Youdu got the ball, facing Li Kaiming, who was one size bigger than him but also played power forward, he didn't know what to do for a while.
The attack time was about to come, and he tried to pull one out, but missed the front basket due to Li Kaiming's interference!
McGee grabbed the rebound, and Li Kaiming started a fast break again!
After testing in the next round, the Warriors have already understood Li Kaiming's fast break, and now it is certainly impossible for the latter to succeed easily.
So the Warriors players retreated quickly and formed a human wall during the retreat!
But they still underestimated Li Kaiming's impact. The speed bump formed by these people who were a head shorter than Li Kaiming did not even let Li Kaiming's body pause. Then he tore a hole from the crowd forcefully, and then again Here comes a one-armed tomahawk chop!
Youdu, who was following Li Kaiming and eating exhaust fumes, couldn't help but swallow when he saw the swaying of the basket and the squeaking sound of the basketball stand!
What kind of animal constitution is this!
After two consecutive attacks, the rest of the Wizards didn't even have a chance to cross the half, and the round was ended by Li Kaiming!
What is one against five? This is called one against five!
For the rest of your teammates, just wait and watch the show in the backcourt. Just leave the scoring to me!
At this time, Li Kaiming thought so in his heart.
Warriors coach Paul Silas couldn't help but sigh.
Although he knew that Jin might be beaten up by Li Kaiming, he never expected that he would be beaten up so miserably!
Like a college student playing ball with a group of kindergarten friends, the Warriors players looked like powerless toddlers!
The Warriors attacked and still handed the ball to Yudu. This time Yudu was ready to break through and try, but he was immediately faced with a blood cap by Li Kaiming, making him realize the reality!
Many fans at the scene had already covered their eyes!
Stop reading, it will be disrespectful to continue reading, what's so good about bloody torture...
It can only be said that the media who exaggerated the duel between Li Kaiming and Youdu must have never seen Li Kaiming play, nor have they seen Youdu play.
But this time the Warriors learned the lesson. After the attack failed, everyone ran to their own backcourt for fear of being hit by Li Kaiming on the fast break again!
Although the fast break was not successful, when Li Kaiming got the ball inside, the Warriors still paid the price.
After Yudu became the backdrop for being blocked, he immediately paid the first foul of the game.
Li Kaiming started with the ball inside, resulting in 2+1!
Stand on the free throw line and then hit the free throw!
The Wizards' first 7 points all came from Li Kaiming!
Paul Silas had no choice but to call a timeout. Although he didn't know how to restrain this violent No. 1 pick, if he didn't call a timeout, the players on the court would be stunned by that guy!
After the timeout, Li Kaiming was still invincible. Unsurprisingly, he became the most dazzling presence in the first half. Compared with him, the rest of the team was like comparing the bright stars to the sun.
Li Kaiming's performance in this game was blind!
In the first half, Cassel only allowed Li Kaiming to play for 11 minutes, but the latter still scored 24 points with a super high shooting rate of 9 of 10!
During a timeout, Cassel, who has a weird personality, even became anxious and directly criticized Li Kaiming, "Aren't you allowed to fight with all your strength? Why don't you listen to the command?"
Li Kaiming spread his hands innocently, "Please, coach, I didn't even use any force, and I fell down on the other side..."
Cassel:…
If the coaches and players of the Warriors heard what Li Kaiming said, they would probably be so angry that they vomited blood!
Isn't this enough? If you have a 90% hit rate and you haven't used any force, what does it mean to be strong?
In the end, the Wizards beat the Warriors 85:64 by 21 points. The point difference was only 21 points thanks to Cassel replacing Li Kaiming early in the second half, otherwise he might have gone to 58!
Even so, Li Kaiming still scored 42 points, 18 rebounds, 5 assists and 6 blocks. He also defended Yudu to 4 of 15, scoring in double figures!
I guess Youdu will have doubts about life when he goes back. You are all first-year rookies, why do you stand out so much?
The Warriors management probably hates Li Kaiming to death. The talented rookie they selected had a bad start, and was defeated by Li Kaiming in the first game...
