Blatche handed the ball to Hinrich, who continued to dribble across half court, and Li Kaiming still received the ball outside the three-point line.
After the inside battle with Brand just now, Li Kaiming made up his mind that he would never try to gain position inside the three-point line when facing Brand.
His strength is far inferior to that of Brand. If he were to struggle with the latter in the middle distance, he would be using his shortcomings to compete with others' longsights. He would have to be stupid to do that kind of thing.
To beat Brand, you have to take advantage of his fast speed and long range!
Brand didn't take it seriously at first, but Li Kaiming suddenly shot a three-pointer with a cold arrow. Now he learned his lesson. When he saw Li Kaiming holding the ball outside the three-point line, he immediately used pressure to defend and get close to him.
Except for Nick Young, everyone else has limited singles ability, so they still have to count on Li Kaiming to break the situation.
Li Kaiming took the ball with both hands, took it out from the right midfielder, then lowered his center of gravity, thrust his right foot forward, and at the same time swept the ball half a circle from the right to the left.
Brand immediately gave up a little space. He was afraid that he would be too close and Li Kaiming would pass him by, but he didn't expect that this little space was exactly what Li Kaiming wanted.
When the ball reached the left side, Li Kaiming suddenly took the ball to the right side. At the same time, with the movement of his head and shoulders, Brand thought that Li Kaiming was going to break through to the right side.
As expected, Brand made a mistake in judgment. He quickly moved a step to his left, thinking that he was blocking Li Kaiming's breakthrough.
But Li Kaiming suddenly collected the ball again, followed by a cross step, and broke through from the left. This silky combo made Brand stand on the court in a daze!
Li Kaiming strode to the three-point line, but several other 76ers players were very quick to assist in defense, especially Andre Iguodala at the forward position. Not only did he have excellent physical fitness, but he also assisted in defense. The awareness is also very good.
As soon as Li Kaiming broke through Brand, he met Iguodala who was coming to defend him.
It was Thornton who was left open. Li Kaiming passed the ball with one hand. Thornton was not outside the three-point line, but in the middle distance on the right side. After receiving the ball, he shot directly, but Zheng was not killed.
76ers center Hawes protected the rebound and dribbled the ball to the frontcourt for John Wall. The 76ers started running tactics. Wall used the outside screen to break through to the mid-range, and then passed the ball to Brand, who hit the ground and then hit the ground again. To Iguodala who cut through, the latter faced Blatche and scored a layup.
3 to 2!
Li Kaiming received the ball from outside the three-point line. Brand was still defending closely, but Li Kaiming took a drag step to clear the space, then forced a three-pointer, pulled it up and threw it!
The basketball swung around the rim and then fell into the net!
6 to 2!
Brand's nose was almost crooked with anger!
He averaged 1 steal and 1 block per game last season. Although these two statistics may not necessarily indicate that he is a good defender, but he can get steals and blocks at the same time, and his defense is not much worse. But once he comes up, Li Kaiming seemed to not be able to see him, just two three-pointers!
How can you bear this?
The 76ers attacked, and Wall broke through and caused Blatche to foul, scoring the first point.
6 to 4.
When Li Kaiming held the ball again, he found that Brand on the opposite side had already started to take action, and the confrontation was very intense.
The referee tonight seemed to allow such a confrontation and did not blow the whistle.
Li Kaiming's face turned cold!
Some people are really scared when they see you being hard, but I'm not that kind of person. I will be hard when it comes to hard things, and I will be harder than you. I won't give up until I break you!
Since Brand is already "disrespecting the old", there is no need for him to "respect the old and love the young"!
As soon as the thought came to his mind, he moved his ball protector horizontally to block Brand's outstretched hand, then directly raised his elbow and hit the latter's chest!
Taking advantage of the space he had obtained, he reached the three-point line in one step. Iguodala still let go of Thornton to cover up the defense, but at this time, Li Kaiming was already red-eyed, blocking and killing God, and combined the ball to hit a three-pointer. Stepping forward, Iguodala wanted to cut the ball with his long legs, but he was unable to reach it!
Li Kaiming raised one arm on fire and rushed towards the basket!
Seeing that there was too little time, 76 Rao center Hawes stood on the spot and raised his hands like a telegraph pole. The gesture of raising his hands made him think it was a French military salute.
The charging Li Kaiming was unstoppable. He took the last step, then swung one arm in a circle, and rode Hawes's face directly for a one-arm windmill buckle!
Hawes was directly pulled out of the phosphorus line by him!
A strong scream erupted from the MCI Center!
On the Wizards bench, Sun Yue, Yi Jianlian and others couldn't help but stand up and wave the towels in their hands!
The commentator at the scene even bluntly said that Li Kaiming's goal will once again lock in today's top ten goals!
Until the moment he flew out, Hawes was confused.
what's the situation? Why did I fly?
Brand, who was facing off against Li Kaiming, grimaced in pain after receiving an elbow from Li Kaiming!
What the heck, you're so shady, are you telling me this is a rookie? Did this kid practice boxing before?
This elbow looks a bit well-trained no matter how you look at it...
As soon as this thought appeared in Brand's mind, he couldn't get rid of it, especially since Li Kaiming had an oriental face. Brand had already doubted whether Li Kaiming knew the traditional Chinese Kung Fu... …
Li Kaiming himself didn't expect that one of his unintentional moves with high intensity would actually turn out to be a Chinese Kung Fu skill in Brand's eyes. If he had known about it, he would probably burst out laughing on the spot!
After the big screen at the scene replayed Li Kaiming's dunk for a while, the game interface returned to the screen again.
The 76ers attacked, and after a complicated movement, Jrue Holiday, who was standing at the shooting guard position, got a chance at the edge of the penalty area, and then made a throw to Zheng Zheng.
8 to 6!
When the Wizards attacked, Li Kaiming held the ball for several rounds and had a high shooting percentage. This allowed the 76ers to focus on Li Kaiming's ball-holding offense.
Seeing that the 76ers had changed their defensive strategy, Li Kaiming simply changed his style of play. There was almost no defensive weak link in the 76ers' lineup. If he forced a challenge, his efficiency would definitely drop.
But with his offensive methods, he can still have an impact even without holding the ball.
Pick-and-roll with Hinrich is one solution.
After the pick and roll, he went directly to the free throw line. The 76ers could not ignore Hinrich who was open at the top of the key, so they had to switch to single defense again.
Brand is still very confident in defending Li Kaiming within the three-point line.
Brand had just exerted force with his feet, preparing to push Li Kaiming out with his powerful strength. Unexpectedly, Li Kaiming turned around after receiving the ball and passed him by!
Behind him was the penalty area. In desperation, Hawes came out to cover up the defense. Li Kaiming passed the ball to Brachi under the basket, and the latter scored two points!
10 to 6!
The 76ers obviously didn't expect that Li Kaiming's passing skills are also very superb. I don't know what their assistant coaching team did in the days before the game. Even if the sample size is small in 2 games, two consecutive triple-doubles can't explain anything. ?
The game is still going on. The 76ers' offense ended with Iguodala hitting the ball in the mid-range. Li Kaiming picked off the rebound and started a fast break with the ball. Several 76ers players tried to cut the ball instead of letting Li Kaiming slow down, so the result Even these people were wiped out by Li Kaiming in three strokes, five divided by two!
What they didn't expect was that Li Kaiming's dribbling was not at the same level as ordinary inside players. His dribbling was now comparable to that of most outside players.
After passing these people, the 76ers only had John Wall, who was the fastest on defense, in front of him. Li Kaiming did not hesitate and took three steps directly after passing the three-point line. Wall did not have time to meet the foul. , had to pull it down halfway and let Li Kaiming take a free throw.
Li Kaiming made two free throws and scored another 2 points!
76ers head coach Doug Collins immediately paused after Wall arrived in the frontcourt!
The player on the opposite side is a super model. If we don't take some measures, they will become ugly after making harsh words before tonight's game!
