There are traces of Li Kaiming's increase in rebounds. Before that, when he needed to hold the ball to develop offense, he was basically on the outside on the offensive end. Even when he broke through to the inside during offense, he usually ended with a dunk, which was rare. Missed.
So it's hard for him to rebound on the offensive end.
On the defensive end, his task is to use his athletic ability to help the team defend everywhere, so he spends about half of the time in the penalty area and does not have many defensive rebounds. Otherwise, with his epic [Rebounder] badge, Grabbing him a dozen or twenty rebounds in one game is more than enough.
Li Kaiming's sudden outburst in the third quarter caught the 76ers off guard. Doug Collins originally wanted to wait until the second half of the third quarter to call a timeout, but halfway through the third quarter he couldn't help but use the timeout. .
It's not that he lacks concentration, it's mainly that the 76 players were almost stunned by the Chinese guy on the court!
Especially Elton Brand, who mainly defended Li Kaiming, was numb!
He has never encountered such a difficult player to deal with. Even the German tank Dirk Nowitzki, a shooting guard known as the power forward version, is not so difficult to deal with in Brand's opinion.
After more than half of the game, Brand clearly felt that on the offensive end, the only place where Li Kaiming was worse than the driver was in the mid-range. In other areas, including breakthroughs, three-pointers and passing, he was better than the driver!
This feeling made Brand a little desperate. Originally, he felt that the biggest advantage of a short man on the defensive end was his speed and strength, and he was not afraid of some traditional insiders who like to attack from the inside.
But Li Kaiming's offensive method seems to be targeting him from every aspect.
Li Kaiming is not only taller than him, but also faster than him. His three-pointers are extremely accurate. If his teammates hadn't helped him defend, I'm afraid he would have been shot through by Li Kaiming!
The most terrifying thing is that Li Kaiming can actually run without the ball and play the classic shooting guard catch-and-shoot trick. This simply makes Brand break the defense!
The speed and confrontation advantage that he is proud of cannot be used against Li Kaiming at all. He cannot keep up with his speed. He will not be physically tough with him against Li Kaiming!
76 Rao's other players were also a little helpless. Doug Collins was almost bald on the sidelines, and he didn't think of any way to deal with it.
So I had to make do with the previous tactics and double-team Li Kaiming more.
The result is obvious. After Li Kaiming adapted to this defensive strategy, he ran like a fish in water without the ball. The entire 76 Rao defensive formation was messed up by him. Even Yi Jianlian had the opportunity to dribble and break through.
At the end of the three quarters, the Wizards led the 76ers 80 to 64 by 16 points and scored 25 points in the third quarter. However, the 76ers were still guarding their own three-pointers with their air-cutting tactics, facing Li Kaiming's indiscriminate bombardment from the outside. , their inside attack, which has a low hit rate, looks like a firecracker dropped next to an exploding atomic bomb. Once it rings, it can only be heard...
The fans at the scene were excited by the wave of offensive climaxes led by Li Kaiming. Everyone stood up involuntarily during the Wizards' three-story-high offensive wave. As soon as the Wizards scored a goal, everyone cheered and applauded. , the entire mci center was full of excited faces of fans. The fans celebrated by high-fiving each other and applauding the home team for playing a beautiful offensive rhythm!
The players at the scene were also frightened by the Wizards' sudden offensive.
It took half a minute for the white commentator at home to react, and then he let out a roar, and McGrady, who was holding the microphone in his right hand, said, "Under the leadership of Li Kaiming, the Wizards launched a powerful offensive. The 76ers seemed unprepared." , man, I can guarantee that Doug Collins is confused at this moment!”
The black guest on the side whistled. He was obviously a Wizards fan, "Collins is still immersed in the shock of being showered with scores from the opposite side. I think it will take him at least ten minutes to realize that they are behind!"
…
In the studio of Huaguo Sports Channel, Zhang Weiping and Yu Jia started shouting loudly since Li Kaiming scored 7 points, while Yang Yi frowned silently.
And when the entire Wizards team began to score like raindrops, everyone in the studio, including Zhang Weiping and Yu Jia, was stunned!
They have been watching football for so many years. When have they ever seen this kind of battle? They take one step at a time, and then the whole team is activated!
Moreover, this wave of offensive craze is mainly based on three-pointers, which makes those who are used to traditional basketball digging in one by one a little dumbfounded!
Can basketball still be played like this?
To be honest, even Zhang Weiping, who is more supportive of Li Kaiming, is quite skeptical about this style of play, so after a long silence, Zhang Weiping asked Yang Yidao, "What does Mr. Yang Yi think of the Wizards' offensive?"
Yang Yi smacked his lips, as if replaying the climax of the attack in his mind, "Exquisite! Beautiful! So beautiful!"
Zhang Weiping and others were a little surprised. Didn't Yang Yi look down on Li Kaiming? How could he suddenly change his gender?
In the MCI Center, next to the 76 Rao bench, head coach Doug Collins took a moment to recover from the overwhelming feeling of shock. He raised his head and glanced at the players around him, then gritted his teeth and held the tactical board in his hand. All tactics are wiped out!
76 Rao players looked at Collins in surprise, what do you mean? Is the coach messing up?
Collins' eyes regained wisdom. He looked around and said, "Guys, if we only think about defending the opponent, then we will always be passive and be led by the opponent, and we will not be able to solve our own offense. The problem is, why don’t we just go out of our way to defend someone on the opposite side, put out our best offensive lineup, man-to-man on the defensive end, and still double-team Li Kaiming to force the ball, and then fight against the opponent! I don’t believe it, just How can the Wizards, a bunch of crooks, be able to defeat us?"
The basic tactics prevailed, and Doug Collins directly took over as the sixth player in the fourth quarter. Lou Williams was the shooting guard, and John Wall was the point guard. The positions of forward, power forward and center were still the starting three buddies. .
This is definitely the 76ers' strongest offensive lineup.
After Sanders saw the 76 Rao lineup, he also shouted to the Wizards players on the court, pay attention to the inside line to double-team and help defend at any time!
No matter how the 76ers lineup changes, their scoring mainly comes from the inside. Taking Lu Wei is just an option with greater confidence on the outside.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the 76ers served first. Lou Williams controlled the ball. John Wall took over the ball after arriving in the frontcourt and played a pick-and-roll with Lou Williams. Nick Young was confused by the two pick-and-rolls. He actually chose to chase Lou Williams and collided with Hinrich who bypassed the screen. Wall got the opportunity to step in and caused Blatche's foul.
Wall faced the deafening boos of the audience and made one of two free throws. Li Kaiming collected the rebound and passed it to Hinrich, and then he started running fast without the ball again.
But the 76ers would not give him such an easy opportunity. He was stopped near the center line, and he had no choice but to enter a slow positional battle again.
The 76ers' defensive strategy against other players became man-to-man, but against Li Kaiming, they still relied on multiple double-teams to help defend.
This plan will keep the difficulty of Li Kaiming catching the ball at the original level, but the difficulty of getting open through running will be greatly reduced. Basically, Brand will have to rely on himself to defend him without the ball.
So Li Kaiming quickly got a chance from outside the three-point line in the right corner. After receiving a pass from his teammate, he hit a three-pointer!
15 points!
A system prompt appeared in front of his eyes, indicating that he had scored 15 points without the ball!
The score between the two sides in the game also came to 83 to 65!
