After returning to the locker room, Li Kaiming couldn't help but be baptized with drinks by his teammates. I don't know if these guys did it on purpose. Everyone changed to the coldest water and gave Li Kaiming, who was still steaming just now, a full-body drink. Forced cooling from top to bottom!
Li Kaiming has experienced this kind of celebration countless times. He skillfully wiped the water off his skin with a towel, and then followed Sanders to the post-game press conference.
Tonight's post-game press conference was also very lively. In addition to many people before the game who believed that the Bulls would let the Wizards show their true colors in this game, there were also many people who believed that Li Kaiming would also show his true colors under the Bulls' defense. original level.
But to everyone's surprise, the results of these two things went in opposite directions at the same time.
The Bulls pressed the Wizards throughout the game, but could not widen the point difference once. Li Kaiming played for 42 minutes and made 17 of 26, including 9 of 15 three-pointers and 8 of 8 free throws. Got 51 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 block. Terrifying data!
Through this game, Li Kaiming also became the 12th player in history to score 50+ points in a single game during his rookie season. His high score of 51 points in a single game was tied for 10th in history with Abdul-Jabbar in 1970. In front of him, except for Brandon Jennings last year, the rest are all ancient gods, such as the basketball emperor Chamberlain, Rick Barry and Elvin Hayes.
Almost all those who can leave their names on this list can enter the Hall of Fame.
So today's reporters, after asking Li Kaiming about his thoughts, sent out a soul torture to the latter, "Li, recently many people on the Internet have begun to doubt your basketball level, but I find that you seem to be able to play well every time." In the following games, I responded to these criticisms with my own performance on the court. Did you do this on purpose after seeing the comments online?"
Li Kaiming suppressed the smile in his heart, "Of course not, brother, how could I go online to pay attention to what others are talking about me before every game? In that case, I would be too tired to live, and I can perform like this. , it relies on my wholehearted dedication in the game and the support of my coaches and teammates. Criticism from the outside will become my motivation, but that is not the main thing, you know what I mean!"
Although he said so, Li Kaiming felt indescribably happy when he heard reporters saying that this game could slap those little guys in the face again!
There were also many reporters from the Bulls. Many people wanted to know how the Bulls players would evaluate this game and how they would evaluate Li Kaiming.
Facing the camera and reporters' questions, Thibodeau sighed and said, "What do you want me to evaluate? This guy scored 50 points at our home court, how do you want me to evaluate it? I am responsible for the loss of this game. I should have asked the players to double-team him earlier at the end, damn it!”
Gibson, who has been in the background many times on the court, also accepted interviews from reporters. Faced with the same questions raised by reporters, Gibson had a bitter smile on his face, "This guy is really difficult to defend. I am not exaggerating at all. Now There is probably no player in the NBA who is more difficult to defend than him!"
The reporter asked in surprise, "Do you mean that Li Kaiming is the most difficult to defend among all NBA players?"
Gibson nodded slowly, "I think so!"
After Rose came off the court, he became a little quiet. Therefore, when faced with reporters' questions, he just firmly took the responsibility for the loss on himself. "On the last ball, I should have double-teamed earlier. If I double-teamed Lee before he dribbled the ball past half-court. If we forced him to play the ball, maybe the victory would be ours..."
The post-game interview and tonight's statistics successfully made Li Kaiming the most eye-catching presence in NBA tonight!
Both Wizards officials and NBA officials posted Li Kaiming's highlights tonight on their social media, along with accompanying text.
"The rise of the rookie! In tonight's game against the Chicago Bulls, No. 1 pick Li Kaiming scored 51 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 block. He also became the 12th player in NBA history to score 50 in his rookie season. This 51 points is also my highest score in a single game so far this season!”
The number of fans on NBA's official social media is naturally not on the same level as that of a single player, so the publicity effect of this collection is surprisingly good. Li Kaiming's personal entry once again topped the trending list on Twitter!
Before the game, Li Kaiming's followers, led by turtle commentator Koslov, naturally became the targets of attacks. Countless Li Kaiming fans and passerby fans came to the previous comment area and began to speak out for Li Kaiming!
"You're barking? Why don't you scream? Didn't you say your true colors are revealed tonight?"
"At present, it seems that only a group of keyboard warriors have revealed their true colors. Li Kaiming is said to be true gold that is not afraid of fire. Facing powerful opponents, he has performed even better!"
"I wonder who these guys are fans of? I just want to see, if you take your requirements for evaluating Li Kaiming and put them on the players you support, what kind of evaluation will your favorite stars get? I'm afraid even the so-called ' It’s worse than rubbish…”
Similar comments are still rising at a volcanic eruption rate. However, these little black guys know that they are facing a headwind, so most of them dive directly and close social media. Only a few are still there. He was outputting against the wind, but he was quickly drowned in saliva by the huge Justice League. No matter how much one person can spray, he can't spray more than thousands of people!
As for Koslov himself, who sets the pace, he has long carried forward the fine tradition of turtle commentators. He turned off his phone as soon as the game was over and ran to enjoy life...
After scoring 51 points in this game, Li Kaiming's average points per game rose again by 2 points to 35 points. He firmly holds the top spot in the league's scoring list. Second place is the old senior Rose. The average score has dropped to 28 points, and is about to be overtaken by Kobe Bryant in third place.
Li Kaiming's performance on the score list is like an outsider, aloof from others, while the following people are fighting to the death for the second place in the score list...
At this time, it is very appropriate to apply the words of Bird, the king of the world. You are here to compete for second place, right?
Li Kaiming's performance in this game, especially the offensive methods shown in the post-game highlights, also aroused heated discussion on America's basketball forum!
"Man, this guy is averaging 35 points per game right now, which is the third-highest mark after Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. The first two of them had to play in the league for several seasons before they could perform like this. And the team's record is not very good, but now Li Kaiming is not only a rookie, the Wizards are currently ranked first in the Eastern Conference and second in the league with 7 wins and 1 loss. What kind of monster are we witnessing the rise of?"
"His performance on the court is as omnipotent as God! If you watch the game, you will only feel that the data cannot reflect his power at all!"
"In addition to ranking first in the league in points per game, he also ranks first in three-point field goal percentage per game. He averages three three-pointers per game. His influence on the offensive end is unmatched. !”
"The same goes for Kobe and Durant?"
"Brother, both Kobe and Durant have won the scoring title, but when Kobe averaged 35 per game, his efficiency was 5 percentage points lower than the current Li Kaiming, and Durant's highest average has not reached 35, so currently, Li Kaiming’s offensive influence exceeds that of Kobe Bryant and Durant!”
"I don't agree with your view, brother. Kobe and Durant's scoring titles have been tested for one season, and Li Kaiming has only played 8 regular season games. I don't deny his power, but what you said takes time. To prove it.”
Of course, no one is better than the best in literature and no second in martial arts. In the basketball commentary area, once comparisons appear, the ensuing quarrel is indispensable, especially since this debate also involves two of the top scorers in the league. Hands, their fans will naturally not see their idols being suppressed.
"Are you kidding? Surpassing Kobe and Kd? Are you awake, sir? These two are players who will enter the Hall of Fame in the future. Who does Li Kaiming mean to him? Can he compare with these two superstars?"
"Kobe has championships and MVPs. In addition to offense, he also has defense. He has been in the best defensive team for many consecutive seasons. His comprehensiveness is something that Li Kaiming cannot compare with! Durant can only be said to be a top scorer now. He There is no mVp, and the defense is mediocre. Maybe Li Kaiming can compete with him in the future..."
"Compared with Kd? Just him? A guy with no hair on his face, how can Kd not be better than him? Believe me, if Kd meets him, he will beat him to his face!"
The last comment was originally just one of several venomous comments, and it was nothing among the massive comments made by netizens. However, the appearance of one person made this comment the most popular in the entire comment area.
Because not long after this comment was posted, many netizens discovered that Durant himself actually liked this comment!
The mechanism of Twitter is like this. If you follow a person, you can not only see what he commented and forwarded, but also what tweets he liked!
Durant's personal dismissal instantly caused an uproar in the NBA. Not only did he like the comment, but he still did not cancel it after it attracted attention. This ruled out the possibility of a mistake. In other words, this The comment was approved by Durant himself!
The two guys with the height of the center and the skills of the defenders directly faced each other within a few games of the season, which made many melon-loving fans excited!
Although I don’t know why Durant is so hostile to Li Kaiming, the duel between these two people is very exciting anyway. Durant’s praise is just a fire, igniting the fuel prepared before. !
Of course, these things are not worth mentioning for Li Kaiming, who is enjoying life after the game, because now he is at the home of his good senior Derrick Rose, tasting high-end red wine with the latter, and having a date. Chatting on the ground.
Rose is a rather boring person off the court, so he doesn't have many friends in the NBA. The only one he is well-known to is Russell Westbrook of the Thunder, and most of Rose's good brothers are his. Childhood friend.
And now, Li Kaiming has also become a person on this list.
I don't know why, but Rose likes to get along with this little kid, even if he just made a buzzer-beating shot in his face.
Thinking of this, Ross silently picked up the bottle of wine in his hand and filled it directly for Li Kaiming.
Brat, I want you to kill me, and I have to get you drunk tonight!
