The other commentators did not pay attention to Weiping Bryant's rootless behavior, because after they saw the slow motion of the ball clearly, their jaws dropped!
Su Qun even opened his mouth, and through his glasses you could see the disbelief in his eyes!
As for the commentator at the Amway Center, he directly said that this goal was the best of the day!
After landing, Howard's face was also very ugly. He was very confident in his defensive ability. In his mind, there was no one he couldn't guard.
But this rookie actually tricked him in the second round. How could this make him not feel angry!
Beside the Magic bench, Stan Van Gundy also had a flash of surprise in his eyes.
He has studied Li Kaiming very deeply and knows that the latter has the ability to handle the ball, but Van Gundy believes that this is only due to the low intensity of the summer league and preseason, not because the latter has reached that level.
But the ball just now made him waver in his judgment.
But as the head coach of an NBA team, he must not immediately change the defensive strategy formulated before the game like a monkey peeling off corns. If that is the case, what is the meaning of the pre-game arrangement?
On the court, the Magic continued to attack.
Lewis became Li Kaiming's background twice in a row, and he was already filled with resentment.
He looked at Li Kaiming with flames flashing in his eyes!
You, a rookie, dare to embarrass me in public! I will definitely let you return it with interest!
As for Li Kaiming, he simply ignored Lewis’s gaze that was about to burst into flames.
Before the game started, his opponent was not just Lewis alone, but the entire Magic team!
He wants to lead the Wizards to win this game, so suppressing an aging Lewis is not the biggest problem for him.
But Lewis didn't think so. At this time, he was already threatened by his fragile self-esteem. After coming to the frontcourt, he directly asked for the ball from point guard Nelson!
Although Lewis's statistics are mediocre, he is senior and his status in the team is not low at all, and he plays an important role in the locker room.
How dare Nelson not give it to such a veteran figure when he wants the ball.
After receiving the ball, Lewis faced Li Kaiming's three-pointer without hesitation!
Li Kaiming knew that this guy was good at three-pointers, so he was on guard. Lewis's response ball was obviously too powerful, and it hit the neck of the basket, and was collected by Blatche under the basket.
Blatche probably only has the ability to protect rebounds.
When the Magic players saw that the shot was missed, they immediately retreated on defense. They did not leave any fast break opportunity to the Wizards, but to Li Kaiming to be precise.
The game once again entered positional warfare mode.
Li Kaiming seemed to be No. 4 on the pre-game roster, but Hinrich handed over the ball as soon as halftime passed. It was Li Kaiming who really dominated the Wizards' offense.
In other words, except for dribbling the ball through half court, Li Kaiming is no different from a point guard in other aspects.
Lewis defended very seriously this time, leaving no space at all.
But the current Li Kaiming is already a point forward with 70 attributes. Dealing cards at the top of the arc cannot satisfy him, so he decided to do some fancy work.
Li Kaiming exerted force on the side of his arm, pushed Lewis away with his big arm, and then suddenly raised the ball to aim at the basket, making a fake shot.
Lewis has been in the league for many years and is extremely experienced in defense. He just pounced on him immediately without his feet leaving the ground at the same time!
But Li Kaiming didn't just change this move. He put away the ball, then dropped the ball again the moment Lewis came up, and suddenly took a step into the three-point line!
This frightened Lewis quite a bit. This was the process when he was knocked down in the last round. This time he must not fall in the same place.
Lewis opened his arms and crossed his legs, ready to catch up. But as soon as he took a step inside the three-point line, Li Kaiming, who had one foot inside the three-point line, suddenly jumped back, and it turned out to be a step back. .
After such an operation, Li Kaiming already had an absolute open opportunity. Unless Lewis's arm suddenly grew one meter longer, he would never be able to interfere with the ball.
Li Kaiming took advantage of the rebound momentum and took off with both feet to shoot a three-pointer!
Uh-huh!
A hollow ball clicked into the frame!
The solution at the scene went straight into madness!
"hat'sthefuck? What is this? What do I see? A big man taking a step-back shot from beyond the arc?"
The guest next to him was also shocked, "Old man, this is definitely not true. This action reminds me of Kevin Durant!"
"Can yellow people still play like this? Oh my god!"
…
In the studio of Huaguo TV Sports Channel, Li Kaiming fell into silence because of the ball.
After a long while, Zhang Weiping twisted his somewhat stiff neck, and then looked at Su Qun next to him.
"What do you think of this ball?"
Su Qun was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said, "If the ball hadn't been tricked, it would have been foreseeable that the Chinese men's basketball team would win a medal at the Olympics..."
Zhang Weiping glanced at Su Qun in surprise. Although the latter was young, he was very measured in his words and actions and rarely did anything out of the ordinary.
Now the higher-ups are still hesitant about whether to plan for Li Kaiming, but Su Qun, who is cautious, has dared to say in front of the national audience that China will win a medal at the Olympics.
It can be seen that from the latter's perspective, if Li Kaiming's strength reaches this level, it would be a bit stupid for Hua to not plan...
As for Zhang Weiping himself, he has always firmly supported planning Li Kaiming.
At the Amway Center, although the players of the Magic were a little shocked. The strength of the No. 1 pick was a bit astonishing, but they also maintained their due composure. After all, they were a team that had made it to the finals.
Only one person in the team broke through the defense, and that was Lewis, who was facing Li Kaiming.
Li Kaiming threw two three-pointers in his face when he came up. This was a naked provocation in Lewis's eyes!
Who doesn’t know that Lewis is best at three-pointers, and Li Kaiming is not good at three-pointers, but at the beginning of the game, Li Kaiming actually took a three-pointer that he was not good at, facing Lewis who was good at three-pointers, swish Got two in!
This is simply like shitting directly into Lewis’s mouth, and after shitting, he still has to ask how it tastes?
It's tolerable, but it's intolerable!
Lewis has gone completely crazy!
Before the rest of the Magic team could react, Lewis directly interrupted the tactics he was still playing, and then shot a three-pointer from the right side at a 45-degree angle!
There was madness in his eyes!
I don't believe that I, an all-star, will lose to you, a rookie!
But what is very sad is that under Li Kaiming's targeted defense, Lewis' three-pointer hit again and the Wizards got the rebound.
The only disadvantage for Li Kaiming when defending someone like Lewis is that he can't get rebounds and always stands on the outside when defending.
Looking at the basketball coming out of the basket, Lewis's eyes flashed with astonishment.
Clearly God was not on his side tonight.
And while Lewis was still doubting his life, Li Kaiming started at full speed from the backcourt!
Being taken advantage of by someone like Li Kaiming who has a sports car-level engine, it is absolutely impossible to defend a classic car like Lewis.
As a result, the rest of the Magic team had no choice but to help cover up the defense. The one who was left empty was El Thornton on the outside.
Li Kaiming compressed the opponent's defensive formation to the extreme, then threw the ball out. Thornton received the ball and shot directly from the outside. Unfortunately, Lewis who reacted arrived and interfered, and the three-pointer missed.
After two rounds, Stan Van Gundy realized the change in Lewis' mentality and immediately called a timeout when he arrived in the frontcourt.
There are still 9 minutes left before the end of the first quarter.
Stan Van Gundy said bluntly as soon as Lewis came down, "Rashad, be sensible and don't get ahead of yourself! Follow the tactics..."
Lewis seemed to be really angry with Li Kaiming. The veins on his forehead were exposed, "Reason, what reason do you want me to use? That guy is almost riding on my neck to shit!"
