During the halftime break, since the Wizards were the leading team and Yao Ming of the Rockets was injured and retired, Sanders basically made no major adjustments and spent most of the time letting the players rest.
Li Kaiming sat in front of his closet, took off his shoes, and let his feet have a good contact with the air.
Although this "Kaiming generation" has made it as breathable and comfortable as possible, it is still a bit worse than not wearing shoes. Therefore, every time during halftime, Li Kaiming likes to wear himself in the locker room. Take off your shoes and let your feet relax.
Fortunately, he didn't have foot odor, otherwise the other teammates would probably protest.
What surprised Li Kaiming was that while others were resting, Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian sneaked out of the locker room. Curious, he greeted the coach and followed them out.
After going out, I discovered that Sun Yue actually took Yi Jianlian to the court to practice shooting. At this time, the interactive sessions on the spot had ended, and there was enough space for the players to practice shooting. What made Li Kaiming dumbfounded was that Sun Yue This guy actually didn't even let this time go.
He had heard Yi Jianlian say before that Sun Yue was one of those talented players among Chinese players, so he had been full of arrogance since he was a child and had a rather arrogant personality.
His character is a double-edged sword. The good thing is that Sun Yue’s character will make him a person who dares to let go. To put it bluntly, he is a natural grand scene man and will not be in trouble when encountering At some critical moment, my hands and feet become weak.
However, this kind of personality also has shortcomings, that is, he is rather eccentric. This is reflected in Sun Yue, which is that he had a bit of a thorny attribute when he was in China, and he was very playful outside the court.
In September last year, Sun Yue was also exposed by the domestic paparazzi media in the "car shock scandal" incident. He was photographed by the paparazzi taking his model girlfriend, driving to perform piston movements for the purpose of reproduction of mammals. This incident was a relatively big blow to his reputation in the country.
So Sun Yue came to the NbA Summer League. On the one hand, he really wanted to chase his dream. After all, he is not young anymore. He will enter his peak period in a few years. The right way is to seize the time to improve. On the other hand, he wants to go to Amelia. Calais came to avoid the limelight and hide from domestic paparazzi.
Looking at it now, after Sun Yue arrived at America, I don't know if he was inspired by Li Kaiming. He seemed to be a different person, training like crazy.
But as long as you can keep training, it's always a good thing.
Seeing Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian practicing hard, Li Kaiming felt itchy in his heart, so he immediately followed him, picked up the basketball on the ground and started throwing it into the basket!
Suddenly, an extra ball appeared and fell into the basket with a swish. Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian, who were concentrating on training, were startled. When they looked back, they realized it was Li Kaiming. After nodding with a smile, they started training again.
Three yellow-skinned players came to the court for training during halftime and soon became a sight in the mcI center.
The fans who came back from using the toilet immediately noticed these three particularly hard-working people, and started discussing them one after another.
"Hey, this guy Li Kaiming really works hard. He's so awesome and why don't he miss the halftime break?"
"So, his success makes sense. Why is he so good at playing? Now you know the reason..."
"Yes, no one can succeed casually..."
"In addition to Li Kaiming, there is another Chinese player Yi Jianlian who is a substitute. Who is the other one? I feel like I have seen him before but I can't remember his name."
"That player is also from China. His name is Sun Yue."
"I remember him. A player who works so hard will definitely shine in the future..."
In the intensive training of Li Kaiming and the others, the halftime break quickly passed and the second half of the game began.
The Rockets began to rotate the lineup in the third quarter. The point guard position was replaced by Kyle Lowry, nicknamed "Little Steel Cannon". He was selected with the 34th overall pick in 2006. Last season, he averaged Able to score 9 points and 4.5 assists, he is a very high-quality substitute player.
The substitute shooting guard is Coster Lee, the 22nd pick in the first round of 2008. This guy averaged 12.5 points per game last season and is one of the stronger scoring players among substitute players.
Substitute power forward Jordan Hill played for many teams last season, averaging 5 points and 4 rebounds per game. Substitute center Brad Miller averaged 8 points and 5 rebounds per game.
If you only look at the data, the Rockets' bench lineup is considered average in the entire league. Basically, anyone with these data can play a rotation in the Wizards.
Since Li Kaiming only played half of the second quarter, Sanders took the long-lost five-way lineup at the beginning of the third quarter. However, this time the five-way lineup was slightly changed. The shooting guard Sun Yue, the small forward was replaced by Trevor Booker.
In the third quarter, the Rockets were still the first to serve. Lowry dribbled the ball into the frontcourt. As for why Lowry got such a nickname, you can tell by looking at his figure. This guy is 183cm tall but weighs close to 90kg. Especially his pair of thick thighs and very curved buttocks muscles, both show Lowry's confrontation ability.
Although Hinrich was taller than him, facing Lowry, who was shorter and stronger than him, it was difficult to defend for a while. Facing Hinrich, Lowry reached out to call for a screen and made a fake move. Preparing to squeeze into the screen, Lowry unexpectedly changed direction and started, catching the former off guard.
Compared to shooting directly from a wide position in the mid-range, Lowry is better at breaking into the deepest part of the basket for layups or drawing fouls.
At this time, the center of the Wizards was Li Kaiming. Naturally, he couldn't let him get what he wanted, so he immediately took two steps up. Of course, Brad Miller, who was waiting for the cake under the basket, couldn't completely let go of Lowry's pass. not bad.
Li Kaiming's delay allowed Hinrich to catch up with Lowry again. Seeing that there was no chance, the latter was about to hit the ball directly from Li Kaiming's crotch to Miller under the basket. Unexpectedly, Li Kaiming subconsciously moved the ball with his hand and actually knocked the ball away. The ball is broken!
After getting the ball, Li Kaiming passed it to Hinrich, and he took the lead and started the fast break. Naturally, the Rockets couldn't give him this opportunity. Three people blocked Li Kaiming's path and forced him to stop.
At this time, other Wizards players also arrived in the frontcourt. The five players were separated from the outside. Hinrich held the ball. The opposite center Miller was also a big center with a height of 2.16. Hinrich and Li Kaiming's pick-and-roll immediately put Miller into a trap. Faced with the dilemma, the Rockets ultimately chose to block the paint. After all, the closer they are to the basket, the higher their shooting percentage.
Hinrich gave the ball to outsider Li Kaiming, who caught the ball and made a three-pointer!
72 to 58!
The score difference has reached 14 points!
The Rockets took their time. Lowry held the ball and others moved without the ball. The opportunity was given to Coster Lee in the mid-range. The latter caught the ball and scored two points, helping the team stop the bleeding.
72 to 60.
At the beginning of the third quarter, Li Kaiming's three-pointer made the players on the Rockets' bench dare not give another chance, so this time the Wizards picked and rolled at positions 1 and 5. After Miller came out and delayed, he immediately went to Back inside, Hinrich was covered by the 216 Miller and could not see anyone else. As for the misplaced Li Kaiming, he was even more blocked.
Hinrich took two steps back and gave the ball to Booker, who was at a 45-degree angle. Booker did not take action immediately after receiving the ball. As a rookie, he was too hesitant. The opportunity was fleeting and there was no time. Too many, and there was no one to take the ball. Booker closed his eyes and threw it to the bottom corner on the same side. There was Sun Yue!
Seeing that the time was almost up, Trevor Booker actually threw the blame into Sun Yue's hands. Both the Chinese fans at the scene and the Chinese fans in front of the TV began to curse!
"This American devil is so bad! When the time is almost up, give the ball to Sun Yue. If he scores, he will get an assist. If he doesn't score, Sun Yue will miss the shot. You are playing a good hand!"
There were 3 seconds left on the clock at this time, and Li Kaiming, who was standing at the top of the arc, couldn't help but sweat for Sun Yue!
Sun Yue himself, on the other hand, didn't think too much about the ball. He made a fake move to point out the defender, then took a step away from the side and shot a three-pointer!
Uh-huh!
The Wizards added another 3 points!
75 to 60!
