This time the system is more generous, giving Li Kaiming 10 attribute points, but the points are only 30 points, which can be a gain or a loss.
Li Kaiming played no more than 25 minutes for the third consecutive game, but scored 30+10.
He became the first rookie to accomplish this feat since the Las Vegas Summer League began, and the streak continues.
Although Sun Yue's touch was not good tonight, he played very calmly and did not get distracted, so he was able to score 7 assists, which also set a new personal summer league record.
Cassel has already had a conversation with the management and will observe two more games. If Sun Yue's performance can continue, he will consider giving the latter a basic salary!
If Sun Yue could put aside his pride and become a down-to-earth 3D player, his level would still be very good.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Zheng to be drafted by the NBA in 2007.
Although he is a second-rounder, it is clear that his physical fitness can still play in the NBA, but his path is wrong.
Li Kaiming's unintentional words directly saved Sun Yue's NBA career.
The game between the Wizards and the Bulls made many Chinese fans who paid attention to Sun Yue and Li Kaiming say they are very happy!
They didn't expect that when Yao Ming's body was close to retirement, they would actually see two yellow-skinned people playing together in the NBA!
This greatly enhances the national pride of the fans!
Who can't play in the NBA?
In fact, after Yao Ming entered the All-Stars, this kind of statement still has a large market in America.
Because most people think that Yao Ming can play well because he is tall, directly ignoring the fact that some players who are taller than Yao Ming have far less achievements in NBA careers than Yao Ming!
In fact, the real reason why China has a large population but cannot match the level of basketball is that the player training and development system is completely backward.
All players who have been to America know this.
As the most developed country in the world, America's sports commercialization, basketball league system from low to high, and supporting training and rehabilitation are among the best in the world.
Many Chinese players who came to America to play basketball, after training here for a few years, returned to China and their level improved by leaps and bounds compared to their original level!
Even Yao Ming is no exception.
Now Sun Yue realizes this more deeply, because under the leadership of Li Kaiming, he found that his previous training methods and training intensity were like playing house compared to now!
China has never lacked talented players, but they are like flowers raised in a greenhouse. They have not experienced even the most rigorous training. How can they possibly catch up with those American players who have been trained by devils.
Thinking of this, a certain fire in Sun Yue's heart was ignited!
Three years later, his desire to become stronger rekindled in his heart. The last time was when he was selected in the draft.
He has made up his mind to stay with the Wizards until death. Being able to train with Li Kaiming is a big gift package given to him by the boss. If he seizes this opportunity, he will be reborn in the next few years!
…
For the next two consecutive games, the Wizards had games.
On July 16, the Wizards faced the Western Conference team New Orleans Hornets.
The Hornets traded Cole Aldridge, the No. 12 pick they picked in the draft.
Therefore, the Hornets lineup in the summer league is a bit unsatisfactory in front of the Wizards headed by Li Kaiming.
However, the system also gave Li Kaiming a standard C-level task.
At the end of the game, Li Kaiming played 19 minutes and easily scored 32 points, 11 rebounds, 16 assists, 4 blocks and 2 steals.
It is worth mentioning that Li Kaiming sent 16 assists without making a single mistake!
The Wizards also beat the Hornets by 32 points 98:66. However, considering that the opposite team is Chris Paul's team, the Hornets can also beat the Wizards by 26 points!
Sun Yue also seized the opportunity in this game. Because of his calm performance in the last game, Cassel directly banned the original starting point guard Spann!
Directly let Sun Yue be the starting point guard.
Although it seems strange to let a forward who is more than two meters tall swing without a point guard, it all makes sense when it is the "alien" Cassel who made this decision.
Sun Yue did not live up to Cassel's sneak attack, and he performed well when he came on the court.
He played 20 minutes, 9 of 15, 2 of 4 three-pointers, 21 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists. He was the team's second scorer after Li Kaiming!
The Hornets double-teamed Li Kaiming brutally, but this also made the Wizards extremely comfortable on the outside, and the half was turned into garbage time.
Then on the 17th, the Wizards faced New York in back-to-back games.
The Knicks have no first-round pick this year and only one second-round pick, so their Summer League lineup is as bad as you can imagine.
This game against the Knicks is also the last stop of the Wizards' summer league journey.
The Wizards won easily again. Li Kaiming played 18 minutes and scored 30 points, 11 rebounds, 12 assists and 2 blocks.
The barely adequate data is not even as good as his own average data per game.
Sun Yue's touch is average, but he restrains his desire to take shots very well, mainly focusing on his responsibilities as a point guard.
He made 3 of 8 in the game and scored 8 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists, very balanced data.
At the end of the game, the Wizards also defeated the New York Knicks 88:79, achieving a complete victory in the Las Vegas Summer League in the 2010-2011 season!
The record of 5 wins and 5 games also put the Wizards at the top of the Summer League standings, and finally won the championship!
Li Kaiming was undoubtedly elected as the best player of this summer league with an average of 30+10 per game.
This is also the first award Li Kaiming won after entering the NBA.
But he didn't have any psychological fluctuations, because he knew that the awards he wanted to win were more than this. This summer league MVP was not even an appetizer in his eyes!
But there was another piece of news that made Li Kaiming feel happy.
Because of Sun Yue's outstanding performance in the summer league, the Wizards management decided to give him a chance!
According to Cassel, because Sun Yue has played in the NBA for one season, his salary will be a little higher than the general basic salary!
Finally, after returning to Washington, the Wizards gave Sun Yue a one-year basic salary contract of $680,000!
At the signing ceremony, Sun Yue couldn't help but shed tears.
It's not because he got a contract, he signed a contract with the Lakers, but this time is different, because this time he sees the hope of chasing his dream...
After the summer league ended, the Wizards held a press conference for the newly signed players.
At the press conference, Li Kaiming met the shy oriental big man for the first time.
Yi Jianlian has a very energetic face, his eyes are big and look very bright!
Sun Yue was also very happy when he saw Yi Jianlian. He and Yi Jianlian are old teammates of the national team, and both were drafted in 2007, so they are very familiar with each other.
With Sun Yue acting as a lubricant in the middle, and Li Kaiming himself being more outgoing, Yi Jianlian quickly became familiar with Li Kaiming.
The Wizards' press conference did not cause any sensation in America, but it became the most searched sports news in China!
"I'm in tears! I can actually see three yellow-skinned NBA teams in my lifetime!"
"I have already seen the connection between Li Kaiming and Sun Yue in the summer league. When can I see the twin towers of Li Kaiming and Yi Jianlian?"
“I’ll probably see it in the preseason!”
"The layout upstairs is amazing. It might be the 2012 London Olympics!"
