The ball dropped by McGee fell near Li Kaiming. After Li Kaiming got the ball, he made a quick long pass.
Trevor Booker, this year's 23rd overall pick, was already on his way down. After receiving the ball, he dribbled twice, then took off directly and made a two-handed slam dunk!
This dunk showed Booker's strong physical fitness.
The Wizards started 4:0, and all the points came from Li Kaiming's assists!
Cathy, the head coach of the Bulls, frowned. Before the game, he specially set a strategy for the team to defend against Li Kaiming. However, he did not expect that the latter did not take action in this game, and instead turned into purely driving the opponent. Got it!
This made it a little difficult for him...
After dunking, Booker pointed at Li Kaiming, indicating that he assisted him.
After dunking one, Booker suddenly felt that he felt like Sun Yue in the last game. As long as he worked hard to move, Li Kaiming's pass would definitely arrive!
This kind of basketball makes everyone on the team very comfortable, because the ball will always be passed by Li Kaiming to the person with the most difficulty in shooting, which greatly improves their shooting percentage!
The response from the Bulls came quickly. Shooting guard Bobois, who had been in the league for a year, stepped forward. He was the most experienced player on the Bulls, and he used his running position to get rid of the Wizards. At the end, Hudson was shown, and then Zheng Zheng was shot from mid-range in one step inside the right three-point line.
Looking back, Spann couldn't wait to pass the ball to Li Kaiming as soon as he passed the center line.
After a few games, Spann himself saw clearly that his strength was still far from that of the NBA.
The gap between people is so big. After some people encounter setbacks, they will become more courageous and eventually overcome the setbacks.
But some people never dare to move forward after falling once before a setback.
Spann is a representative of the latter.
The more he played, the less confident he became. When he was dribbling on the court, he felt like the ball in his hand was a hot potato and he wanted to throw it as fast as possible.
Seeing Spann's devastated look, Cassel beside the bench couldn't help but shake his head.
With this mentality, why are you playing in the NBA? Just go home and raise pigs!
But there is no Spann, and there is no point guard in the team's lineup. Another defender, Hudson, has poor court vision. When the ball reaches his hands, it is like glue, and he cannot see other teammates at all.
Just as he was thinking about it, Cassel glanced at Sun Yue, who was watching the game seriously on the bench.
Snapped!
Cassell slapped himself on the head!
Isn’t this guy good at dribbling? How could I forget this!
Poor Spann doesn't know yet that his NBA career has come to an end just because of Cassel's glance...
Li Kaiming received the ball from outside the three-point line. Facing the Bulls' defense, he called Trevor Booker to hand over.
His dribbling attributes are too low. If he dribbles in from outside the three-point line, he will be easily intercepted by the opponent.
So you can only give the ball to the outside, and then go to the inside to get a position, receive the outside pass and start the attack.
The Bulls' double-team came extremely quickly. Li Kaiming could tell at a glance that the opponent must have practiced this tactic many times, and the rotation speed was very fast.
However, this kind of speed is relative to a team that was formed temporarily. For him who has invincible passing vision and hands, this kind of defense is still a bit childish.
At 45 degrees on the other side, there was a little space for Hudson. Li Kaiming opened up the space, then with one arm, he passed the ball to Hudson's hands!
There is one advantage to Hudson playing ball, and that is that he is straightforward!
Without hesitation, his favorite thing is to catch and shoot!
So this is both his strength and his weakness.
When he needs to take action, he will not hesitate, but if his opportunity is not good, he will not be able to see his teammates who are in the open space at all. No matter whether there is anyone in front of him, he will just pull it up and throw it, whether it goes in or not!
Fortunately, this opportunity was good, and Hudson hit a three-pointer!
7:2!
Casey immediately called a timeout.
We can't defend like this anymore. If we continue to defend like this, it seems that Li Kaiming won't score a single point, but the Wizards immediately blossomed. This is much scarier than Li Kaiming's high score!
Although this is the summer league, winning or losing basically doesn't matter, but Casey doesn't want this game to become his black history.
If he interviews the head coach in the future, how can he explain to the team management that he led the team to a 58-point loss in the summer league?
Cassel is relatively relaxed. Because of Li Kaiming, he basically only needs to design a few tactics based on the movements of other players, and the rest is left to the No. 1 pick.
Cassel may be the most relaxed coach in the Las Vegas Summer League. He can just hang up on the sidelines and watch the players perform...
However, when it was his turn to play his role, Cassel was also unambiguous. He directly replaced Spann during the timeout, and then turned to face Sun Yue on the side.
"Sun, after the timeout ends, go up and play point guard. Remember, if you don't know how to play, give the ball to Li!"
Sun Yue was stunned!
Although Cassel promised to give him playing time after the last game, in his mind, he would not have the chance until the second half.
Unexpectedly, Cassel let him play in the first quarter! This treatment is almost as good as the starting lineup!
After much deliberation, the only person who could lead to this result was Li Kaiming, so he immediately turned his grateful eyes to Li Kaiming who was drinking water at the side!
Li Kaiming was drinking water with his head raised. After taking a sip, he happened to meet Sun Yue's eyes.
Looking at Sun Yue's meaningful eyes, Li Kaiming read a lot from it.
Grateful, moved, and even a little shy...
Damn it!
Li Kaiming quickly turned his head to prevent himself from being unable to hold back and spraying Sun Yue on his face.
Although I don't know why Sun Yue showed such a passionate expression, there is no time to ask at this time, because the timeout has ended and the referee informed the players of both sides to enter.
In the studio of Huaguo Sports Channel, Weiping Bryant was chatting with two guests about this year's NBA landscape. When he saw the game start on the screen, his eyes suddenly lit up!
"The Bulls are playing Jeremy Lin! Now the game will be fun to watch!"
The guests in the studio also nodded in agreement. It is very rare in NBA history for three Chinese Americans to compete on the same stage in the NBA.
Although it’s only the summer league, it’s still a good start!
Jeremy Lin replaced this year's 25th overall pick Dominic Jones. Because he performed very well in the first few games, Casey gave him almost the treatment of a first-round pick.
The Bulls served, and Jeremy Lin faced Sun Yue's defense and dribbled to the frontcourt.
Seeing this scene, the Chinese fans were extremely happy!
"This scene is so beautiful. Although Jeremy Lin is not a Chinese national, it is pleasing to the eye!"
"It would be great if both of them could stay in the NBA..."
Jeremy Lin's physical fitness is very strong, but that is relative to the position of point guard. Facing Sun Yue, who plays point guard with a swingman body, he still cannot rely on his body to force himself.
But in addition to his physical strength, Jeremy Lin's other biggest advantage is his speed.
Although Sun Yue's speed is okay, he has some difficulty facing Jeremy Lin, who has the league's top speed.
Jeremy Lin changed direction, lowered his shoulders and passed by Sun Yue. He was a very mature player and knew the Wizards' inside supermodel, so he simply didn't challenge the penalty area and shot directly from the mid-range!
Uh-huh!
The basketball hits the net!
7:4!
Coach Casey on the sidelines smiled and applauded. The opportunity given to Jeremy Lin was not in vain. He always seizes the opportunity!
Sun Yue's face looked a little ugly. Cassel finally gave him a chance to perform, but he was scored by the opponent as soon as he started.
Li Kaiming was a little surprised by Jeremy Lin's speed. It is really rare for a yellow man to have such speed, and he was not inferior against Sun Yue's body!
Such a player would actually lose the draft?
