The rewards given in this B-level mission are pretty good. Although the points are the lowest at 100 points, the attribute points are at the highest at 15 points, which can be regarded as a kind of compensation to a certain extent.
However, Li Kaiming is not in a hurry to add more points. First of all, it is not necessary for the time being. It is just a preseason game. Sanders limits his playing time to less than 20 minutes. There is no point in playing at full strength during this time. I am afraid that his body is just weak. It’s time to warm up.
Secondly, he didn't have time to add points. After the game, the Wizards got on the plane to Cleveland.
They will play their second preseason game away from home against the Cleveland Cavaliers on October 8.
Time was tight and they had to hurry up.
Arrive early so you can rest.
After LeBron James left, the Cavaliers' lineup still maintains good competitiveness.
In addition to backup All-Star guard Mo Williams, the Cavaliers also acquired Wizards All-Star forward Antawn Jamison in a three-way trade last season.
Of course, apart from these two relatively powerful players, the rest of the Cavaliers are not enough to watch. They are all functional role players.
However, it is worth mentioning that the Cavaliers' inside level is very good.
Perhaps in order to deal with the powerful insiders of their playoff opponents, such as Howard and Garnett, the Cavaliers have always had a tradition of hoarding excellent insiders.
From the big Z when James first entered the league, to the Cavaliers later trading for Shark O'Neal at the end of his career, and now hoarding three or four insiders.
Therefore, before the duel between the two sides began, some media began to belittle Li Kaiming in their pre-match discussions.
Because the Cavaliers' interior defense is very good and they have stocked up on some thick, black muscle sticks, they look very powerful.
After Li Kaiming saw such remarks, he just smiled lightly.
Based on his current inside level, he is probably most afraid of someone like Duncan, who has strong strength, good defensive positioning, experience, and good speed.
But it's still a bit of a fantasy for other insiders to try to guard him with 95 speed.
What's more, he doesn't just do mindless dunks...
The Wizards and other players took a flight to Cleveland in the middle of the night after the game. The exhaustion along the way made all the players yawn. After arriving at the hotel, they dispersed and went back to sleep.
The second was the scrambling practice time they got, which Sanders used to lead the players on a little tactical run.
After more than a month of running-in, Li Kaiming's arrival has gradually made other people feel the feeling of being taken away, so no one jumps out to point fingers at the former like they did at the beginning.
The contrast between Nick Young and Nick Young is even greater. He is completely different from the previous one. He looks very much like a certain Internet celebrity who eats fried rice and it tastes "so delicious"...
After a month of training, Li Kaiming gradually began to adapt to the newly added attributes. He became more and more comfortable on the court. This speed of improvement made Sanders, the coach, speechless!
What a monster!
After one day of training, on the second day, October 8, everyone from the Wizards took the team bus to the Cavaliers' home court, the Quicken Loans Center Arena.
Compared with the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Quicken Loans Arena looks more delicate. When standing at the entrance of the arena, it looks more like a large-scale supermarket chain.
The Wizards' bus drove straight into the parking lot of Phosphorus Line Arena. Li Kaiming looked out of the car window and saw that there were not many fans today.
It has to be said that James's box office appeal is still first-rate. After he left, local fans' enthusiasm for the Cavaliers dropped a lot.
Li Kaiming looked around and could even see many fans wearing his own jersey...
Before the game starts, there is a brief pre-match press conference as usual.
Li Kaiming was a little tired of this. What kind of interview was there in a preseason game?
So this time he simply declined the press conference and went to the court to practice with other teammates.
However, Arenas stayed. Since the "Gun Gate" incident, Arenas desperately wanted to repair his relationship with the media, and he became a lot better behaved in front of reporters.
After all, he was competing for very little real money...
After discovering that Li Kaiming was not present at the press conference, the reporters quickly lost interest in the interview. After asking a few perfunctory questions, they went straight to the Cavaliers' home press conference.
A lot of people came to the Cavaliers press conference at home.
Cavaliers head coach Byron Scott and current star Mo Williams appeared at the press conference, as did starting center Anderson Varejao.
Antawn Jamison will not play in this game due to injury. According to reporter reports, he may not be able to return until November at the earliest, and it is very likely that he will miss the first game month of the regular season.
This is bad news for the Cavaliers' record.
After all, Jamison averaged 20+8 per game with the Wizards last season. Now, the Cavaliers are the well-deserved leading scorer.
Facing the menacing Wizards, Cavaliers head coach Scott didn't have any worries. I don't know if it was because the management didn't put pressure on him at all. He said easily, "The Wizards are all excellent guys. , but we’re not bad either.”
It seems that there is no need for interviews with this coach, and reporters turned their attention to Mo Williams and Varejao.
"How will you restrict Li Kaiming against him?"
"Defending him is not an easy task. We will work together to limit his shots in the interior. Our interior defense can handle the vast majority of interiors in the league, and Li Kaiming is no exception!"
The answers from Williams and Varejao made the reporter smell the news and began to quickly record the interview between the two.
The game is about to start, and the starting lineups of both sides have also been confirmed.
Cleveland Cavaliers, point guard Mo Williams, shooting guard Anthony Parker, forward Ramon Sessions, power forward JJ Hickson, center Anderson Varejao.
Washington Wizards, point guard Arenas, shooting guard Nick Young, forward Al Thornton, power forward Li Kaiming, center Andre Blach.
After Li Kaiming walked onto the court, he looked around and found that the Quicken Loans Arena, which only has 20,000 seats, was nearly half full.
Fans sat sparsely, and only a few fans wore team clothes, including some wearing Wizards jerseys...
The atmosphere can be as good as that of a college regular season.
The referee tonight is No. 2 Michael Smith. He signaled the players from both sides to gather in the middle circle and then quickly kicked off!
Bratsch couldn't beat Chandler, but he could still easily win against Brazilian movie star Varejao.
The basketball was transferred to Li Kaiming, who handed the ball to Arenas and quickly went to the frontcourt.
The Cavaliers players seemed to be prepared for Li Kaiming's fast break. Two insiders crowded in the penalty area and looked at Li Kaiming warily.
If the quick attack fails, then we have to grind the position.
Arenas faced off against Williams, physically dominant and ready to play directly in singles.
The others pulled away, and Li Kaiming ambush inside the three-point line on the other side.
Arenas directly ran over Williams and charged forward. The latter was unable to stop him at all. He could only retreat while using his other hand to interfere in front of Arenas!
After breaking into the penalty area, the Cavaliers' two insiders could no longer stand and watch the show. Varejao took a step forward, but did not dare to pounce directly.
JJ Hickson, Li Kaiming's opponent, also took a step closer to the penalty area, slightly leaving Li Kaiming open.
In this case, Arenas hit the ground and passed the ball without looking at anyone, and sent the ball to Li Kaiming, who was temporarily open. Hickson immediately returned to defend, but as soon as he was in position, Li Kaiming suddenly activated and passed him by one step. !
When Varejao saw this, he didn't care about Brac behind him, and came forward directly. Li Kaiming made a fake shot and passed the ball to Brac under the basket. The latter took off and dunked with both hands, and succeeded!
2:0!
