McGee took the ball under the basket, took off on the spot, and dunked with both hands, scoring another 2 points for the Wizards!
62 to 67!
The entire audience exclaimed in surprise!
Victor and Brayden in the commentary box were speechless. Victor asked a question on his forehead, "What happened? When did the ball get to McGee?"
Braden also shook his head, "I didn't see clearly what was going on. The referee at the bottom line didn't call it. It seems that there should be no problem with the ball!"
The scene was full of confusion. In addition to the commentators and the audience who were far away, Garnett and Davis, who were involved, also frowned. They had no idea how Li Kaiming passed the ball to McGee!
Fans all over the world wanted to know how this magical pass was achieved. The on-site director lived up to expectations. With the help of cameras under the basket and on the backboard, he finally showed the fans a slow-motion replay of the ball!
Seeing that Li Kaiming could make such an elegant and calm choice in the air, Braden in the commentary box couldn't calm down at all. "God, how did he do it? This ball reminded me of the former Kings guard, known as White Chocolate’s Jason Williams has always made passes like this throughout his career.”
White Chocolate Jason Williams is actually not a very qualified point guard. He has only averaged 10 points and 6 assists per game in his career, and his shooting percentage is only 40%. However, he has attributes that cannot match the data at all. Popularity.
It all boils down to one word, handsome!
Of course, he is not a handsome person, but a handsome player, and more specifically a handsome passer. Jason Williams can always pass all kinds of incredible balls on the court, such as elbow passes and behind-the-head passes. It is a common occurrence that before his pass leaves his hand, no one except him knows which direction the ball will eventually fly, including his teammates.
So fans always joke about Jason Williams with the phrase "one man gets the ball and nine others panic".
However, unlike Jason Williams, Li Kaiming does not specifically pursue difficult passes. He has ferocious physical fitness, violent dunks, and elegant jump shots. There are many things to watch about his playing, so it is not It is necessary to specifically pursue difficult passes, especially such difficult passes. While getting highlights, you also pay the price of increased passing errors. This is completely unworthy in Li Kaiming's view.
If you want highlights or top five shots, just dunk!
The ball just now was completely the result of his impromptu performance. Originally, he planned to go for a layup directly. Who would have thought that Davis under the basket was going to commit an offensive foul on him. If the latter directly defended him, he would have done it.
The rhythm of the game was not interrupted by this beautiful pass. The Celtics served to the frontcourt. Pierce received the ball and directly singled out Booker. After two threats from the outside, he directly shook the ground to make up for the unsteady center of gravity, and then sent Pierce to directly hit three. Take separate shots and hit the target steadily!
62 to 70!
Pierce is such a player. Whenever the rhythm and momentum of the game develop in favor of the opponent, he will stand up and help the team save the situation.
When the Wizards attacked, Hinrich moved the ball to the frontcourt without any danger. Li Kaiming provided a ball-free screen to the running Nick Young inside the three-point line, and then directly moved his back to get into position. Hinrich adjusted the ball. Come in.
"Li Kaiming chose to play Kevin Garnett for two consecutive rounds. Is he crazy?" Victor in the commentary box was a little surprised.
Braden is also not optimistic about Li Kaiming's attack. "Li Kaiming's body doesn't look like those muscular sticks inside. Can he really be able to withstand Garnett?"
Garnett, who was guarding Li Kaiming, became angry when he saw that Li Kaiming was preparing to hit him again. "Rookie, this time you won't be as lucky as last time!"
Before he finished speaking, he felt a huge force coming from the person in front of him!
Damn it!
Garnett almost blurted out the quintessence of America, but immediately took a breath and started to push back with all his strength. At the same time, he was very shocked!
No wonder he couldn't move when he hit him on the back. It turns out this guy is so strong!
Garnett's mental activity has just begun. Li Kaiming has already started the second wave of offensive. The turbulent power is coming like a tide. Garnett only feels like a small boat floating in the tsunami.
The foot he was standing on was also loosened by Li Kaiming's powerful impact. Immediately afterwards, Li Kaiming's full strength exploded, directly pushing Garnett back a step!
The fans at the mcI Center were in an uproar when they saw this scene!
In the commentary box, the jaws of the two commentators who had previously said that Li Kaiming's choice was unwise almost dropped to the floor!
"Are you kidding? Kevin Garnett can't withstand Li Kaiming's back beating?" The expression on Victor's face was as if he had seen a ghost!
Another commentator, Braden's expression, was not much better, "This is Garnett, my God, maybe we need to re-evaluate Li Kaiming's inside strength..."
While the two commentators were talking, Li Kaiming had already reached the basket with his back. Before Davis could cover up, Li Kaiming turned around and hooked, facing Garnett's long arm interference and scoring 2 points. !
64 to 70!
The Celtics were attacking. As a man with a tough label, Garnett was pushed to the basket and beaten by a rookie. Naturally, he would not give up.
So after arriving in the Green Army's frontcourt, Garnett also turned around and asked for the ball inside the three-point line.
But Garnett knew after his defense in the previous round that he couldn't stand up to Li Kaiming, so he simply caught the ball and faced the basket.
In the third quarter, the two power forwards from both sides suddenly started a wonderful one-on-one session. Although this change was a bit abrupt, the audience still began to cheer.
Basketball is ultimately a team sport, and one-on-one problem-solving by stars is an important part of basketball viewing, but this is rare.
Facing Li Kaiming's defense, Garnett first made a fake move, and then he didn't care whether Li Kaiming reacted or not. He just took a step down the ball and took a step, then pulled it up and shot!
Garnett's offense changed too little this time. Although Li Kaiming's defense was very rubbish, after all his height and wingspan, Garnett's shooting was still affected and missed under Li Kaiming's defense.
McGee caught the rebound under the basket and was about to pass it to Hinrich, but found that the latter was under Rondo's tight defense.
Li Kaiming on the side took the basketball from McGee's hand when he saw it.
Garnett was hit by Li Kaiming, turned around to attack and was blocked. At this time, he was almost on the verge of activating his iron-blooded form.
Seeing Li Kaiming receiving the ball and preparing to move forward, Garnett pounced on him!
As long as I can steal this guy, all the embarrassment before will disappear!
But Li Kaiming's dribbling once again frustrates the tough guy. Facing Garnett's pressing, Li Kaiming first dribbled with his right hand to the front right, and then when his body was about to come into contact with Garnett, he raised his left arm to protect him. The ball, while dribbling from behind, directly passed Garnett!
In the commentary box, Victor saw what happened in just a few dozen seconds, and he was already unable to turn around. "Why does it seem that Kevin Garnett is at a disadvantage in the one-on-one with Li Kaiming?" ?”
This problem not only troubled Victor, almost everyone who saw the game did not think of it.
Garnett is one of the top 50 players in NBA history. He has MVP and the best defensive player. Garnett, who has such a series of honors, actually lost to a rookie in one-on-one!
Li Kaiming's change of hands behind his back completely activated Garnett's iron-blooded form. He quickly came to the frontcourt and kept his body center of gravity to the lowest. Since coming to the Celtics, he has only won the championship in the finals. Such a defensive attitude.
After Li Kaiming dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, he passed the ball to Nick Young immediately, but the opportunity was fleeting. After the ball was passed around the outside, there was still no good chance.
It seems you have to do it yourself!
Li Kai didn't notice Garnett's change. After observing the situation, he directly dropped the ball and broke through from the right side.
Garnett blocked this direction in an instant, but Li Kaiming was not a freeloader. He changed direction and broke through from the left, leading Garnett by half a body, and then dribbled inward.
Davis under the basket still waited until Li Kaiming was about to lay up before coming up to cover, but this time he was a step slower. Li Kaiming was less than two meters away from the basket. He suddenly stopped and then blasted the ball to the left. Step-back jump shot!
Garnett reacted and defended immediately. The ball passed through his fingertips. Li Kaiming could even hear the sound of Garnett's nails scraping against the surface of the basketball.
This guy's defense is really scary. His stride is close to more than two meters. Most people can only watch him take action!
Li Kaiming thought in his heart that the ball should not go in, but the god of luck favored him. The basketball bounced on the basket twice, and then fell into it!
66 to 70!
A burst of warm cheers erupted from the mcI Center!
Li Kaiming beat Garnett for three consecutive rounds. This is a complete manifestation of his personal strength!
When one's own star can dominate the opponent's star, fans can develop a strong sense of belonging to the team!
Brayden and Victor in the commentary box no longer knew what to say.
Garnett's defense is his bread and butter, but tonight he was beaten three times by a rookie. This is something no one dared to think about before the game started.
Many people thought that Li Kaiming would be beaten to death against Garnett, but Li Kaiming shut these people up with his performance on the court.
However, Li Kaiming also knew that the ball just now had a relatively large element of luck. God was on the side of the home team tonight.
Garnett is on the verge of breaking out. It is impossible for a person to bear the fact that he is a historical superstar and is being bullied by a rookie!
So on the offensive end, the Celtics turned to Garnett as the core, and Rondo on the outside fed the latter as much as possible.
Garnett was also very tough. With the support of his teammates, he took 5 shots in the second half and hit two green mid-range jump shots, which severely tested Li Kaiming's eardrum endurance twice.
On the opposite side, Li Kaiming took the same number of shots and scored 7 points on 3 of 5.
However, after scoring a goal, he always turned around and ran away, and his celebration was shorter than Garnett's.
If someone happens to turn on the TV at this time and watch this half of the quarter, they will think that Garnett is the one with a higher shooting percentage and more points.
Fortunately, the Celtics teammates were relatively strong, so even if Li Kaiming showed all his strength in the third quarter, he still couldn't overtake the opponent.
The Wizards entered the fourth quarter with an 8-point deficit, 76-84.
