Shortly after the sunshine on November 2 shone into the room through the window, Li Kaiming slowly opened his eyes. He slept extremely soundly, and all the fatigue on his body disappeared.
This can be proven by the fatigue level on the system, which is currently 15 and the color is an extremely healthy and environmentally friendly green.
After twisting his body and stretching, Li Kaiming got out of bed. After everything was ready, he drove to the home arena again.
Fortunately, he had the foresight to buy a house not far from the center of MCI, which can be reached in twenty minutes by car. If he had bought a house far away, with America's carpet-like urban construction style, he would probably be able to get there. I had to get up early in the middle of the night to get to the arena on time.
At that time, he might be able to see Washington at four in the morning, but he would definitely not be able to see the MCI Center at four in the morning.
Today's training is mainly tactical training, including defense and offense. The main simulation object is the 76ers.
However, this kind of training will not be too intense. It just gives the players a memory of how to move when they get on the court.
Tonight's game was actually broadcast live in America. The broadcaster of the game was tnt, so tnt simply asked the game commentator to give a preview of the game.
After all, this game has the gimmick of a battle for the No. 1 and No. 2 pick, so it's not impossible to hype it up.
There is still the familiar Sir Charles Barkley in the program. As a staunch supporter of Li Kaiming, Barkley ended the topic as soon as he came on.
"Come on, you guys are just crazy about making big news. Is there any comparison between the two? One averages more than twice as many points per game as the other. Tell me what is there to compare?"
Barkley's words put the entire live broadcast room into an embarrassing situation. After a while, the host came out to save the situation, "Charles, why can't these two people be compared? One is the No. 1 pick and the other is the No. 2 pick. Li Kaiming scored higher because of the Wizards. Arenas was unable to play, and all the ball rights were concentrated in his hands. As for John Wall, who was second in the draft, he could only start from the bench when he arrived with the 76ers. I believe that if Wall is given enough time, he will definitely I can play better than now!"
Barkley laughed strangely, "Can you average 39 points per game?"
host:……
Barkley said unceremoniously, "You can't average 39 points per game. After all, these two people are not comparable at all!"
Seeing that the show was about to be ruined by the honest man Buckley, several other guests could not sit still and immediately began to refute.
"This person who averaged 39 per game has only played two games. The sample is too large and not representative."
"And just for this game, how do you know that Li Kaiming's performance is better than John Wall's before we play? 76 Rao's starting center Spencer Hawes is a giant with a height of 2.16 meters. I believe that Li Kaiming will perform very well when facing him. struggle!"
Buckley sneered, "Then we'll see!"
…
The situation in the studio also happened online. Although most people are optimistic about Li Kaiming, they don't think there is any gap in quality between Li Kaiming and John Wall. The so-called scoring champion is only temporary. There are too many games for Li Kaiming. The scoring average has naturally dropped.
This kind of pre-game discussion has also raised the interest of this game to a higher level in America. One is the top pick who averages 39 points per game, and the other is the second pick who has not got a chance. What will happen when these two sides collide? What kind of spark?
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Li Kaiming came to the familiar pre-game press conference with Sanders. The reporters had been waiting for a long time.
"Lee, are you confident in defeating the 76ers with John Wall in the team?"
"Lee, do you think your performance in this game will be better than Wall's?"
…
Li Kaiming also dealt with issues such as these one by one. He would not behave like a matador in front of the media, so his speeches were all directed at himself.
This actually made many reporters who came after hearing the news a little disappointed. This number one pick is not a trap!
On the 76ers side, both head coach Doug Collins and other teammates all spoke to express their support for John Wall.
Head coach Doug Collins even said that John Wall is the most suitable for the 76ers to be the No. 1 pick. Even if they get the No. 1 pick, the 76ers will not hesitate to use it to select John Wall!
And Collins also said that John Wall will start in tonight's game.
This series of operations has made the fans full of expectations for the game!
The 76ers have clearly shown their support for Wall and even belittled Li Kaiming for it. Everyone wants to see how the Wizards and Li Kaiming respond.
The pre-match press conference is over. If you want to know the result, you can only watch the game!
During the warm-up before the game, as a Wizards star, Li Kaiming naturally wanted to give some benefits to the home team fans who came to support him.
Including but not limited to signing autographs and taking photos with fans.
And all the fans who got his signature became ecstatic.
After signing the autograph, Li Kaiming quickly returned to the stadium. It wasn't that the fans were too enthusiastic, but the way the mothers of the children looked at him made him feel terrified!
Standing two meters tall and covered in muscles, he felt for the first time that he had turned into a sheep. If there hadn't been someone next to him, he might have been swallowed up!
He admitted that he was handsome, but he had no interest in married women. Didn't he see the fathers of children standing next to him looking at him with disgust?
At 6:50 pm, after the warm-up, there was a classic black-out session, followed by everyone singing the American national anthem.
The big screen in the arena lit up first, with the huge Wizards logo engraved on the blue flag trembling in the wind.
The spotlight on the top of the arena hit the center of the court. The team's mascot, the Wizard, a bird covered in blue feathers, waved a flag with the Wizards logo. As the flag danced, the surrounding area of the arena also A lot of mist is sprayed out!
After a loud whistle, the DJ at the MCI Center began to introduce the starting players of the home team.
Li Kaiming stood in the dark player tunnel, feeling slightly disturbed.
This was the first time he was introduced as a home team player and then accepted the cheers of the home crowd.
What made him even more excited was that his first appearance was the finale. I am afraid that few people in history can enjoy such treatment.
The first four people were quickly introduced, and only Li Kaiming and the substitute players were left in the player tunnel.
After a few seconds, Li Kaiming heard the familiar DJ voice, a rough male voice.
"Washington Wizards, last in the starting lineup, No. 1 pick in the 2010 NBA draft, NCAA champion, MOP, Li~Kai~Ming~"
The DJ's voice was very long, as if he was showing off his lung capacity.
Li Kaiming suppressed his inner restlessness, high-fived his substitute teammates one by one, and then ran out of the tunnel.
As soon as he walked out of the tunnel, a beam of searchlight light immediately hit him, and the 20,000 spectators cheered!
"Li Kaiming, I love you!"
"Li Kaiming, I want to give birth to a monkey for you!"
"Li Kaiming, you are my god!"
…
Li Kaiming almost staggered as he ran towards the court, because he clearly saw that the person who shouted to him to give birth to a monkey was not a blond beauty, but a burly man with a beard!
Damn it, the people of Washington are having so much fun!
After standing on the court, Li Kaiming first high-fived the other four starters one by one, and then waved to the fans.
The introduction of the starting lineup ended and the lights returned to normal. There were still a few minutes before the end of the game. The starting lineups of both sides were already displayed on the big screen in the center of the arena.
Washington Wizards, point guard Kirk Hinrich, shooting guard Nick Young, forward Al Thornton, power forward Kaiming Li, center Andre Blache.
Philadelphia 76ers, point guard John Wall, shooting guard Jrue Holiday, forward Andre Iguodala, power forward Elton Brand, center Spencer Hawes.
Collins really put Wall in the starting lineup!
The fans at the scene were agitated, and their eyes towards the stadium became more and more eager. It seems that tonight's game is going to be a good show!
