After defeating the visiting New York Knicks at home on the night of December 10, the Wizards' record has reached 15 wins and 7 losses, ranking third in the Eastern Conference on the record.
It is worth mentioning that the current top two in the Eastern Conference are the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat.
The Heat have started a winning streak since losing to the Wizards.
After the Big Three gradually found the feeling of running in, the Heat won a seven-game winning streak in the next ten days, rushing directly from fifth in the Eastern Conference to second in the Eastern Conference.
Ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference is the Orlando Magic with 15 wins and 8 losses, only half a game behind the Wizards.
The Atlanta Hawks and New York Knicks ranked fifth and sixth respectively with records of 15 wins and 9 losses.
The situation in the Eastern Conference this season has changed due to the sudden outbreak of the Wizards.
The Player of the Week for the first week of December was also announced.
The result, of course, has nothing to do with Li Kaiming himself. His data performance this week was not very good, and the Wizards' record was mediocre.
The best player in the Eastern Conference went to New York Knicks boss Amar'e Stoudemire, who averaged 28 points, 12 rebounds and 1 block per game in the first week of December, leading the Knicks to a 3-0 record. Negative record.
The Western Conference Player of the Week belongs to Oklahoma City Thunder's tough turtle, Russell Westbrook.
The latter averaged a near-triple-double of 27 points, 9 rebounds, 11 assists and 1 steal last week.
After seeing Westbrook's data, Li Kaiming was also a little surprised.
Although Westbrook's physical fitness is the same as his appearance, he is almost like a turtle, very explosive.
But in the final analysis, he is still a guard with a height of only 1.9 meters. I don't know how this guy grabbed so many rebounds.
After thinking of this, Li Kaiming turned his attention to Rashard Lewis, who was training to shoot a three-pointer.
Look at some people, they grow so tall in vain. With a height of 208, they can only average 4 rebounds per game, and they don’t know what they do for food on the court!
After Lewis steadily scored a three-pointer, his eyes met Li Kaiming's gaze.
Lewis noticed the look in Li Kaiming's eyes, and the ball in his hand shook and he almost lost his grip.
For some reason, he actually saw a trace of disgust in Li Kaiming's eyes...
Even Li Kaiming had to admire the NBA's official schedule. After playing the Knicks at home, the Wizards had a three-day holiday, and there would not be another game until December 14th.
The opponent in the next game is also very interesting, it is the Los Angeles Lakers again!
Originally, the attention paid to the game between the Wizards and the Lakers was relatively average, especially at the home court of the Wizards. If Li Kaiming had not appeared, it is estimated that at least four of the people who went to the mcI Center to watch the game that day were there to watch the Lakers. …
Therefore, this game will not be broadcast live in America. It is just an ordinary regular season game for the Wizards.
But all this changed with the selection of Li Kaiming by the Wizards and the brawl that occurred in the last game against the Lakers. Now this game is not a simple regular season, but between the Wizards and the Lakers, Li Kaiming and Ah Test’s life and death battle!
You know, the reason why NbA assigns divisions to each team according to the city where they are located is to facilitate the design of the schedule.
Within the same division, there are 4 matchups between every two teams in a season, but for cross-division games, teams in different divisions only have two games with each other each season, that is, at their respective home courts. Have a fight.
This means that the game on December 14th is very likely to be the last showdown between the Lakers and Wizards this season.
Of course, don't be too harsh. If the Lakers and Wizards can both enter the finals, it is not impossible to play games again.
However, this possibility is the same as asking Comrade Koslov to stand up and bravely admit his mistakes after being slapped in the face. You can't say no, but it is not much different from no.
Just like in probability theory, the probability of something that is impossible to happen is 0, but something with a probability of 0 is possible to happen. So what is the probability of it happening? It is 0...
Therefore, under the combined effect of a series of factors, this game became a very hot game. After the last game between the Wizards and the Lakers, that night, the tickets for the second game between the two sides on the 14th were all sold out. Sold out!
Of course, reporters also interviewed fans who bought tickets for this game and wanted to know why they wanted to go to this game.
But the result was very speechless, because most fans wanted to see Li Kaiming and Artest play again...
As one of the parties involved, Li Kaiming naturally saw this interview. He couldn't help but not see it. Once the video of this interview was uploaded, it became the most clicked video on the entire Internet. He was like going to those black and yellow ones. I looked up some information on the learning website, but when I opened the webpage, I recommended this thing to him...
How fresh! Why does this American like to watch the fun? Is eating melons and watching the fun something engraved in the DNA of all humans?
What makes Li Kaiming even more speechless is that just below this interview, there is a "fight" video between him and Artest in the last game. This video has a very high playback equivalent, and even attracted some Netizens who are interested in boxing and fighting can discuss it below.
[The movements of these two guys are too professional, Ron Artest’s reaction speed is very fast! 】
[In comparison, Li Kaiming is more ruthless. This low sweep directly made Ron lose his balance. Unbelievable, this is actually a video from an NbA game...]
[I have an idea. Why don’t mmA sign these two guys and let them perform in the octagonal cage? They have enough gimmicks and skills! 】
【good idea! 】
[Add one upstairs! 】
Damn it! The further down the page, the darker Li Kaiming's face becomes. These guys really don't mind the excitement.
According to David Stern's habit, the impact of this fight must be as small as possible. It is best that no one pays attention to it the next day.
But now, not only has the impact not been eliminated, but more and more onlookers are gathering who want to watch the show...
Li Kaiming's heart feels like he's been beaten to death. Damn it, he won't be suspended by the league.
But this was because he was overthinking it. In David Stern's eyes, Li Kaiming's value was far higher than the impact of a fight, so the additional suspension he was worried about did not happen.
But it doesn't mean that Li Kaiming can escape other punishments. When this matter became more and more heated, the alliance finally took action.
In addition to the previous suspensions, NBA officials also fined Li Kaiming and Artest $100,000 and $50,000 respectively...
Li Kaiming felt like crying because his grandma's fight was so expensive!
You can buy a house in some underdeveloped cities with 100,000 yuan. His salary in the first season was only 5 million. After excluding various taxes and deductions, it would be good to get 3 million.
Moreover, the 3 million is given based on the number of games and according to the contract signed by the player. If he is suspended by the league due to unreasonable behavior on the field, the salary for this game will be gone.
So after all the calculations, the loss after this fight is far more than the fine of 100,000 U.S. dollars...
Experience is the best teacher. This experience and lesson made Li Kaiming successfully realize something. He still needs to maintain the necessary rationality on the court. In fact, he can be like Artest, playing basketball and playing tricks at the same time. .
However, he just couldn't bear this tone, especially after Sun Yue was fucked with an elbow.
But now Li Kaiming has also realized that sometimes things on the field still have to be solved by means on the field, and solved by means off the field. It feels good, but the cost is also very high.
He is not the book lover here, 100,000 dollars is just for breakfast.
He is just a rookie player, and it is still very heartbreaking for him to lose 100,000 yuan.
After receiving the ticket, even Monica, Li Kaiming's agent, who had not contacted him for a long time, made a special call. While concerned about whether Li Kaiming was injured, she also warned the latter to stay rational on the court.
Perhaps this was the first time since Li Kaiming met Monica that he bowed his head and admitted his mistake like a child.
Because this was the first time he felt the heartache of paying a price, that was 100,000 dollars worth of joy! It’s really evil capitalism!
Li Kaiming gritted his teeth and cursed a few words in his heart.
The day after the game against the Knicks, Li Kaiming dialed a number in the phone book, and the person on the other side of the phone was the staff member of the Embassy in America.
The person on the other side seemed to know Li Kaiming's schedule, so the call was answered within a few seconds of pressing the phone button.
"Hello, are you Li Kaiming?"
"Hello, it's me. I have time today. Where can I meet you?" Li Kaiming also spoke very politely.
"Can you come directly to the embassy? If it's not convenient, I will send a car to pick you up!" The man opposite was still very considerate, even considering that Li Kaiming didn't have a car.
Li Kaiming chuckled and said, "No, I have my own car. How about I go there now?"
"No problem. When you get to the door, just say it's Zhong Shaoming who's looking for you, and I'll greet the guard."
"Okay, see you later!"
"see you later!"
After hanging up the phone, Li Kaiming rubbed his chin with his fingers, thinking about the identity of the person on the other side of the phone.
Judging from the voice, he shouldn't be too old, probably in his early forties at most? But the tone of his speech made people feel very comfortable. Although he was not as domineering as Lin Yan, Li Kaiming could still infer from the other party's vigorous and resolute work style that the other party was probably a person in a high position.
Forget it, don’t think about it anymore, you’ll know who the other person is when you get there!
Li Kaiming put aside the messy thoughts in his heart, went downstairs and drove to the embassy district in Washington, DC...
