Li Kaiming's fast break even amazed Sanders!
Before this, the Wizards' inside line would only cover the downs and take advantage.
Blatche is a little better and has a little post-playing ability, while McGee relies entirely on his body to play.
But now, they actually have an inside lineman who can run from the backcourt to the frontcourt for a fast break, and this inside lineman actually runs faster than the outside linebacker!
There is already a smile that cannot be concealed on his face. With Li Kaiming, a fast break killer, the Wizards' fast break in the new season will be as unstoppable as mercury pouring down the ground!
The substitute lineup served, and Sun Yue began to use the results of training to move without the ball on the outside.
Sanders was a little surprised when he saw this scene!
Hua Guorao has a very good sense of movement. The Wizards' perimeter players are all guys who like to shoot against people. There are not many shooters like Sun Yue who play with a brain.
Nick Young was a little scornful of Sun Yue's movement. After relaxing, he couldn't help but leave a little space for the latter, which allowed Sun Yue to get a chance in the right corner.
Hinrich's pass was okay and he found Sun Yue in time. The latter caught the ball and threw it. Nick Young tried to pounce but it was too late and Sun Yue hit a three-pointer!
After scoring the goal, Sun Yue was a little excited and gave Yi Jianlian a high-five on the same team.
Sanders nodded secretly, this Chinese defender is what they need, and the signing is not for nothing!
After Arenas received the ball, he came to the frontcourt. Facing the substitute's defense, he directly pushed back Blatche who came up to pick and roll, and then hit Hinrich's defense from outside the three-point line with a step back!
The general does not allow others to celebrate three points in front of him!
Teammates are no exception!
Serving as a substitute, this opportunity was given to Yi Jianlian, but facing Li Kaiming, who was taller than him, his mid-range shot was helplessly missed, and the rebound was taken by Brac.
The starting lineup starts the fast break!
Li Kaiming started again, leaving Yi Jianlian far behind. After Brac got the ball, Arenas was guarded by Hinrich and had to pass the ball to Nick Young.
At this time, Li Kaiming has already reached the three-point line. As long as Nick Young passes the ball to him, he will get a foul at the worst.
However, Nick Young didn't pass the ball. He just glanced at Li Kaiming, then pulled up and shot from beyond the three-point line!
Due to Li Kaiming's threat in the interior, almost all the substitutes returning to defense were in the interior, so Nick Young's three-pointer was easily hit!
After making the shot, Nick Young looked back at Li Kaiming, who looked a little ugly, and blew a sigh of relief on the "gun" made with his fingers!
What he means is that my hand feels very good and I don’t need you to teach me how to play!
Look, didn’t I get in?
Sanders on the sidelines was also a little speechless. Both of his guards were twitchy players. They wouldn't recognize anyone when they started to twitch. If the touch was good, the opponent would explode. If the touch was bad, he would explode!
Thinking of this, he turned his attention to Li Kaiming on the court and murmured, "Son, it's up to you. If you defeat them, this team will be yours..."
Li Kaiming is naturally aware of this matter. He came to the team as the number one pick and has nothing to prove himself. Naturally, the veterans will not give up their ball rights and status!
The reason why Arenas respects him is because he defeated the former in the one-on-one session.
Respect is earned through strength!
Since Nick Young doesn't respect himself, then he will beat him!
And Li Kaiming believes that there are many people in the team who have ideas like Nick Young's, but they are still waiting and watching and have not come forward immediately!
As long as he shows strength that does not match his status, they will swarm him and tear him to pieces!
Competitive sports are so cruel!
After playing a few more rounds, apart from Arenas passing a few balls to Li Kaiming at the beginning, Li Kaiming was running back and forth in the subsequent offensive sessions and could not touch the ball at all!
It seems that these old guys are unanimously trying to give Li Kaiming eye drops!
Another offensive round, this time Li Kaiming directly moved up to cover Arenas, but he kept an eye on it and the cover was not solid. This allowed the defender on the bench to find an opportunity. The two of them instantly covered Arenas. Surrounded tightly.
The rest of the starting lineup had defenders in front of them. Only Li Kaiming was open. Arenas had no choice but to throw the ball to the former, but when he passed the ball, he opened his hand and ran towards Li Kaiming. Meaning Obviously, handoff!
But how could Li Kaiming easily hand over the ball he finally got?
Besides, with such a big open space, it's not his style not to shoot!
So, Li Kaiming took a mid-range shot without even the slightest hesitation!
The basketball drew a beautiful parabola and fell into the basket with a swoosh!
Arenas and the other starting players had a flash of surprise in their eyes!
Doesn’t the scouting report show that this guy is a mediocre shooter?
luck! It must be luck!
The substitute shot was a hit, and it was the offensive round again. Arenas passed the ball to Nick Young on the outside. Nick Young was about to pull up and shoot when suddenly a tall figure appeared in front of him!
Li Kaiming came up to block his defender and yelled, "Let's go!"
Seeing Li Kaiming's frail cover quality, the corner of Nick Young's mouth twitched!
Are you here to cover me? Are you bringing someone here to double-team me?
The corners of Li Kaiming's lips curled up into a wicked smile that seemed to have succeeded.
Congratulations on your correct answer, I brought someone here to double-team you!
This is Li Kaiming's counterattack. Since these "old guys" are unwilling to pass the ball, then I will bring the opponent over to double-team you, so that you have to pass even if you don't pass!
Nick Young, who was already ready to shoot, felt as if he was suddenly stopped a second before he was about to spray. He felt very aggrieved!
In desperation, he had no choice but to pass the ball to Li Kaiming and gave the latter a vicious look.
Li Kaiming read the meaning in Nick Yang's eyes, "You're cruel!"
But the ball has been obtained, the goal has been achieved, he is happy, no matter what Nick Young thinks!
Yi Jianlian kept an eye on this time and immediately returned to Li Kaiming, maintaining his defensive position.
But as soon as Li Kaiming started, he passed him directly, and then faced McGee with a one-handed tomahawk chop!
After landing, McGee cried and shrank his neck!
Grandma, I didn’t do anything, why am I the one receiving the support?
Sanders, who was on the sidelines, saw Li Kaiming using some tricks to get the ball back to him. He smiled and said to Cassel next to him, "This kid is not easy!"
Cassel touched his bald head and nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, I took back his right to shoot in two rounds..."
While the two were talking, Li Kaiming once again stood in front of Nick Young who was holding the ball and started to "pick and roll" him.
And he deliberately yelled, "I'm blocking you, you go!"
Nick Young almost cried!
Let's go, where should I go? To the other side's arms?
Brother, let’s go! I was wrong!
Sanders and Cassel on the sidelines stared dumbly at everything that happened on the court, and then looked at each other. Sanders couldn't laugh or cry, "This kid really holds a grudge! I'm afraid Nick Young is going to suffer now." Already..."
At the end of the first half, Li Kaiming single-handedly gave Nick Young, who doesn't like passing the ball, 4 assists. He scored directly after receiving Nick Young's pass.
And Nick Young said directly to coach Sanders during halftime, "Let me go to the bench instead!"
Seeing Nick Young's miserable appearance, the rest of the Wizards team looked at Li Kaiming with awe, and then sighed in their hearts.
What a powerful method the No. 1 pick has!
Li Kaiming, on the other hand, directly established his position in the team with his "excellent" performance in the first half!
