After Nick Young's catch-and-shoot three-pointer, the score between the two sides came to 106-102.
Next to the Eagles' bench, Larry Drew looked a little ugly. When the last five minutes began, it was true that his defensive intensity had increased, but the opponent's offensive firepower seemed to have also increased by a level...
The Eagles served the ball from the baseline to the frontcourt. Joe Johnson and Josh Smith started a pick-and-roll duo. Josh Smith cut inside and received the ball, and faced Li Kaiming under the basket and succeeded in a throw.
106 to 104!
The Wizards served, and Li Kaiming and Hinrich switched sides. After Li Kaiming picked and rolled, he cut inward to the free throw line. Hinrich hit the ball to the ground and passed it in through the gap between Horford and Mike Bibby.
As soon as the Eagles saw Li Kaiming reach this position, the overall defensive formation immediately shrank inward.
Larry Drew still wants to defend Li Kaiming's basket and three-pointers as much as possible, and let some mid-range shots take place.
But Li Kaiming caught the ball at the free throw line and took a jump shot without hesitation.
2 points hit!
108 to 104!
The Eagles attacked and the ball was given to Joe Johnson, who singled out Nick Young. He turned around and made a pull-up jumper that missed under Nick Young's full defense.
Li Kaiming blocked Horford's position, and Lewis next to him tried his best to grab the rebound in front of Marvin Williams.
There are still two and a half minutes left.
After the Wizards reached the frontcourt, they handed the ball directly to Li Kaiming. The Eagles began to double-team. Li Kaiming did not panic. Instead, he avoided the outstretched hand of the Eagles player while observing the situation, and then directly passed the ball with a catapult behind his head. The ball was distributed to Nick Young in the opposite corner.
The Eagles' double-teaming is obviously strictly trained. Although the person they let go is Nick Young, who is relatively good at three-pointers, the latter is located farthest from Li Kaiming, making it the most difficult to pass, let alone an average player. It's up to Nick Young. Whether he can find where Nick Young is in just a second or two is a question.
When Li Kaiming successfully threw the ball into Nick Young's hands like a cannonball, Larry Drew next to the Eagles bench knew that tonight's game was probably in danger...
After Nick Young caught the ball, he made a move and scored 3 points, 111 to 104!
The Wizards widened the point difference to 7 points with 2 minutes left before the end of the game!
Larry Drew immediately called a timeout. If the players on the court were not taken down to calm down, I'm afraid they would remain in this state until the end, thinking that they worked very hard, but they lost the game without knowing it.
Of course, Larry Drew's call for a timeout was more about making adjustments to defend Li Kaiming. At present, it seems that the strategy of leaving the farthest side to double-team ordinary ball holders has no effect on Li Kaiming.
Why does this guy have such good court vision?
Larry Drew looked at Li Kaiming with fire in his eyes, and he even attacked the latter as if he was carrying a gun himself.
This guy caused so much trouble to him!
After the timeout, the Eagles players returned to the court. During the short timeout, Larry Drew did not come up with any effective way to restrict Li Kaiming, so he simply asked Marvin Williams to defend alone.
I still don’t believe it. You can still score every goal?
Larry Drew's eyes are fixed on the field.
But then Li Kaiming showed him what he called eighteen kinds of martial arts. Whether it was a breakthrough under the basket or a back-up, without the ball on the outside or after receiving the ball, he could finish it.
Although Joe Johnson also showed the style of contemporary Jordan, compared with the cheating Li Kaiming, he immediately seemed a bit bleak.
At the end of the game, the Wizards defeated the Atlanta Hawks 116-110 on the road and won their second consecutive victory.
Li Kaiming played 40 minutes and made 14 of 21 shots, including 3 of 5 three-pointers and 5 of 6 free throws. He scored 36 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists. He still firmly holds the position of the scoring leader.
Others on the Wizards also performed well. Nick Young was the second-highest scorer on the team, shooting 8 of 17 and scoring 23 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists.
Kirk Hinrich's playing time basically overlapped with Li Kaiming's. He made 6 of 12 shots and scored 14 points, 2 rebounds and 8 assists.
Blatche basically didn't play much in the second half tonight. He only scored 11 points and 8 rebounds, almost completing an economical double-double.
Rashard Lewis has performed well for two consecutive games. He made 4 of 6 three-pointers tonight and scored 18 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist.
Joe Johnson of the Eagles had 28 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists. If not for Li Kaiming, he would have continued the legend of the Eagles at critical moments.
Larry Drew didn't win the revenge game he talked about before the game, but he didn't feel ashamed or anything about it.
Appropriate harsh words before a game are part of competitive sports, because this can enhance your confidence. Otherwise, if you don't play the game, you will be mentally inferior to your opponent, and even if you have an advantage in the lineup, you may not be able to use it.
After the game, Li Kaiming shook hands with the Eagles players as usual.
Joe Johnson held his hand for a long time tonight. He was not so enthusiastic after the last game. It seems that Li Kaiming's performance against the Eagles twice has impressed the latter.
Of course, as the "King of Kids" in the media's mouth, the post-game repertoire of signing autographs and giving gifts to the children is indispensable. In addition to playing at his home stadium, Li Kaiming will also take off his original clothes when he is in a good mood. Sneakers for young fans.
The team has won two consecutive victories and is on the right track again. Li Kaiming is naturally in a very good mood tonight, so he gave the original "Keming Generation" Wizards color scheme on his feet to a beautiful little girl with blond hair and blue eyes.
Li Kaiming couldn't help laughing when he saw the little girl holding two "Kaiming Generation" battleships that were bigger than his own torso, and then walked back to the player tunnel with high-fives and high-fives from the fans on the sidelines.
Now that more and more fans know him offline, Li Kaiming needs to establish a kind and friendly image in front of the fans. Although the Americans like players who play more violently, this does not mean that they like to be beaten by the stars. Violent treatment.
Therefore, Li Kaiming's violent on-field yet humble and kind-hearted sexiness makes many fans feel that this guy is very suitable to be their idol.
The interviews after the game returned to the usual calm. The reporters only asked insignificant questions, "You have won two consecutive victories after three consecutive defeats. In what aspects have you made changes?"
Sanders only used "focus" to answer, while Li Kaiming said in more detail, "After resting and summarizing, we have regenerated energy. We are united and everyone is working to win. Everyone performs their duties.”
A reporter from cbS asked a more sensitive question, "You will play against the Orlando Magic at home on November 27th. This is the first time Arenas will visit the MCI Center after the trade. What do you think about this game?" Special motivation?”
Li Kaiming smiled and said, "To be honest, no, even if there is, it is just about the competition for second place in the Eastern Conference. I have seen the record list. After tonight's game, our record with Orlando is 10 wins and 4 losses. That game It will determine who can finally occupy the second position in the Eastern Conference!"
"Don't you have any other thoughts about Arenas' return?" CBS reporters still refused to give up, desperately trying to stir up a stir in the calm atmosphere after tonight's game.
"The transaction has been completed. Now Gilbert is a player of the Orlando Magic. If you want to know what he thinks about this game, I suggest you ask him on the night of the 27th. As for our thoughts, I have already mentioned it in the previous question. I have answered it once, and I don’t want to repeat it a second time!” Li Kaiming’s tone was a little serious.
Seeing that Li Kaiming was so serious about what he said, other reporters at the scene originally wanted to see if there was any big news tonight, but it seemed that there was no news at the moment, so they dispersed one after another.
Although his agent Monica always told him to have a good relationship with NBA reporters, Li Kaiming still hated reporters who made trouble out of nothing.
As a reporter, your task is to report truthfully, not to stir up conflicts and then eat up traffic. This kind of behavior is very despicable in Li Kaiming's eyes, so he speaks in a more aggressive tone.
Although Li Kaiming is generally relatively calm, he still shows some potential as a young man from time to time, such as now and when he humiliated Naik at the signing ceremony.
Both of these things seem to be unnecessary. As long as Li Kaiming restrains himself from talking nonsense, or directly rejects Naik instead of choosing to humiliate him face to face, his popularity may be much better.
But Li Kaiming just can't swallow this breath. Why should I spoil you?
Therefore, Li Kaiming doesn't care about this. He is less than 20 years old now and is in the stage of youth and vigour. To use the lines of the protagonist of a well-known Chinese film and television drama, "Can young people still be called young people if they are not vigourous?" ?”
So his agent Monica always said that Li Kaiming was not smart enough on certain things, but Li Kaiming knew that it might look more appropriate if Monica said it, but that would go against his true intentions.
Li Kaiming considers himself a relatively free person. He hates certain things about worldliness, but since the establishment of the system, his goal is to become the undoubted number one in the history of basketball.
So in his opinion, if the God of Basketball is as mired in the secular world as ordinary people, then this God of Basketball is not the right one!
The reason why God is called God is because He can do things that others cannot do.
After finishing tonight's post-game interview, the Wizards players took the opportunity to return to Washington overnight.
They could have rested in Atlanta for one night before going back, but the players wanted to go home as soon as possible, so they simply went back that night.
