In front of more than 20,000 spectators at the MCI Center, Li Kaiming spared no face for Arenas. He stood on the sideline without hesitation and handed the ball directly to Nick Young.
The entire MCI Center was in an uproar after seeing this scene!
It can be seen from the press conference before the game that Li Kaiming does have conflicts with Arenas, but adhering to the principle of believing half of what the media says, most people will think that the conflict between Li Kaiming and Arenas is just a normal colleague. The conflict caused by the competitive relationship between them, but no one expected that the two people on the court made no secret of it.
Arenas had exclusive possession of the ball and did not pass the ball to Li Kaiming. Li Kaiming served the ball to the open Arenas but did not pass it to Nick Young, who was obviously not ready to receive the ball!
Fans throughout the MCI Center exploded after discovering the incompatibility between their two generals!
"Holy crap! What are these two guys doing? Are they crazy?"
"It's unprofessional to do this on the court. As a player, your team's record should be your top priority. How can you act out of emotion on the court?"
"I wonder who Grunfield will send away..."
"It's still useful. It must be Arenas. He is over thirty and still has potential injuries. If you think about it with your toes, you should choose Li Kaiming!"
"That's not necessarily the case. If Li Kaiming is selected, then the order of appearance before today's game should be changed. If the choice is made and the team leader is allowed to appear first, then the Wizards' uniform staff must be stupid!"
"That makes sense!"
The fans are concerned about things other than the game, but Li Kaiming himself puts all his body and mind into the game.
Originally, he didn't want to have an open conflict with Arenas on the court, and left the off-court matters off the court, but he didn't expect that Arenas would directly copy his playing style in training to the official game. No one could see him after that, and all he could see was the basket, which he would not accept no matter what.
In Li Kaiming's view, the team's status and statistics are not as important as the team's victory. He hates losing games. Ever since he activated the system, from the NCAA to the current NBA, he has not tasted the feeling of failure. He didn't want to try either.
Therefore, any factor that prevents him from leading the team to win is his enemy, and Arenas is now a standard obstacle to winning.
He didn't believe that a person who came back in a hurry, had a bad touch, and had both brothers' hands painted on his hands could lead this team to win the game!
So Li Kaiming began to clarify the contradiction directly on the court. He wanted to tell Arenas that since you don't want to win, there is no need for me to spoil you and see how you play without giving you the ball?
Standing outside the three-point line, Arenas glanced at Nick Young on the other side in a daze. When he found that the ball was in the latter's hands, a warning light flashed in his eyes!
Nick Young, who received the ball, seemed to be holding not the ball but a hot potato. He didn't want to offend anyone among Li Kaiming and Arenas. He just wanted to play in peace and contentment.
Seeing the look in Arenas's eyes, Nick Young hesitated for a moment. When he was thinking about whether to give the ball to Arenas and what would happen to Li Kaiming if he gave it to him, he only felt a taller person flash past his eyes. The figure with half a head was extremely fast.
As the figure flashed past him, Nick Young realized that the ball in his hand had been taken away by the figure!
Nick Young turned pale in an instant. When he looked up at Arenas over there, he found that Arenas was staring in the direction of the basket with fire in his eyes.
Nick Young followed Arenas's gaze and saw the figure who took the basketball from his hand. At this time, he had already entered the penalty area at a very fast speed, and then rushed to take off before the Cavaliers' starting center Varejao. Before protecting the frame, he kicked off the ground and took off, facing Varejao's face, holding the ball with one hand, raising it high, and then directly smashed Huashan with one hand for a dunk!
5 to 4!
The Wizards turn the tables!
Although Li Kaiming's performance on the court just now attracted a lot of criticism, the entire MCI Center still cheered as soon as this dunk came out.
Fans can never get tired of great dunks.
That figure was naturally Li Kaiming after serving the ball. After he served the ball, he rushed directly to Nick Young and snatched the basketball away.
J.J. Hixon, who was guarding him, thought he was setting up a pick-and-roll for Nick Young. Unexpectedly, Li Kaiming directly grabbed a ball from his teammate and then sneaked into the paint!
This made JJ Hickson stunned!
Am I stupid? what's the situation? He's so ruthless, he even steals his own teammates when he gets fierce!
The Cavaliers were attacking. Arenas had been holding back his anger in that round and was worried that he had nowhere to vent his anger. There happened to be a very good point guard Mo Williams on the opposite side, so Arenas started to bite the latter on the defensive end. , which made Mo Williams miserable.
Although Arenas' defense is average for the point guard position, it can't stop Arenas from getting angry tonight. Mo Williams can guarantee that this Arenas must be the best defensive player in the past ten years. The most serious Arenas.
In desperation, Mo Williams broke through with the help of the screen. Varejao's cover was very solid, and Arenas couldn't squeeze through at all. Upon seeing this, Blach directly changed defense and retreated to the penalty area while covering Mo Williams with his hands. Sri Lanka.
But the latter still found an opportunity. Mo Williams took advantage of Arenas being stuck behind him, broke into the penalty area, and suddenly made a throw!
Two points scored!
5 to 6!
The Wizards served, and Blatche, who was standing on the baseline, faced perhaps the most difficult choice in his life, because in the backcourt, Li Kaiming and Arenas opened their hands toward him at the same time, signaling to serve the ball. for myself.
From a perceptual point of view, Brac wanted to give it to Arenas. After all, he is the boss who led the team to rise again. Now due to the poor condition due to injuries, it is reasonable to give the ball to Arenas and let him find his touch. And when he was with the Wizards, Arenas also took good care of him and fulfilled the responsibilities of a team boss.
But from a rational point of view, Blach felt that the ball should be given to Li Kaiming. The previous four regular season games, plus the experience of playing with Li Kaiming in several preseason games, allowed him to enjoy a kind of protection that he had never had before. a feeling of!
That's right, it's the feeling of being protected. It's that simple thing where you come with the ball. If you can't do it, just give it to me!
Of course, Arenas also has this ability, but compared with Li Kaiming, who has full offensive ability, Arenas seems a bit dwarfed.
What's more, from these games, Blach can also feel that Li Kaiming's improvement in the team's strength is extremely terrifying. Otherwise, how can we explain that the Wizards have one less team boss, but their record is much better than before?
If you have studied the control variable method, you will know that which variable is changed, that is the change caused by this variable.
So from the perspective of team and strength, choosing Li Kaiming is a wiser choice.
Thinking of this, Blach first gave Arenas an apologetic look, then immediately passed the ball to Li Kaiming, and then ran directly to the frontcourt without daring to look at Arenas again!
Li Kaiming, who received the ball, was determined!
fine! His teammates didn't follow Arenas's nonsense! There is still hope of winning! I didn’t get Kerry in vain in the previous game!
But Arenas on the other side, after seeing that Brac actually gave the ball to Li Kaiming, he froze in place for an instant, his eyes widened, with a look of bitterness and disbelief on his face!
Li Kaiming had dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and Arenas was still alone in the backcourt. Li Kaiming didn't have time to see what Arenas was doing. After arriving in the frontcourt, he crossed the 45-degree position beyond the three-point line. Pull it out suddenly and throw it away!
Uh-huh!
The basketball went hollow into the net. JJ Hickson wanted to defend, but with his arm straightened, he could only reach Li Kaiming's elbow...
8 to 6!
