Shanghai City, in a student dormitory.
A figure pushed open the door furiously, threw the schoolbag on his back onto the bed, and then eagerly turned on the computer.
Zhang Qiang was the first to rush to the dormitory, but he was so active not because there was his inflatable wife waiting for him on his bed, but because the game between the Wizards and the Lakers had reached the most critical fourth quarter!
Logically speaking, as a pure James, he should not pay attention to this game that has nothing to do with James.
But don't forget, besides Zhan Mi, he is also Li Kaiming's biggest fan.
Yes, sometimes the anti-fans may be more active in watching the game than the fans!
When he was in class just now, Zhang Qiang couldn't help but use his mobile phone data to browse the website twice, and found that the Wizards were actually beating the Lakers. Now he felt unhappy!
How can this be done?
Then the Lakers seemed to hear his call, and the whole team's spirit took on a new look. In the second half of the third quarter, they overtook the point difference, which made Zhang Qiang excitedly slap his thigh under the table!
If he hadn't been afraid of being called out by the professor to answer questions, he would have burst into laughter!
Li, you too have today!
That's why he was the first to rush out of the classroom after class, and went straight back to the dormitory without even eating.
He wanted to witness Li Kaiming's failure with his own eyes!
Just when Zhang Qiang turned on the live broadcast signal, the fourth quarter of the game between the Wizards and the Lakers officially started!
Phil Jackson replaced Artest and warned him to pay attention to the number of fouls he committed.
Seeing Artest shaking his head, Phil Jackson couldn't help but sigh. Looking at it like this, this guy would be a ghost if he listened to it!
The first possession of the last quarter belonged to the Lakers. Fisher dribbled to the frontcourt and started a pick-and-roll with Gasol. Blatche took a step forward and waited inside. Hinrich worked hard to squeeze the screen.
After Fisher broke through to the free throw line, he suddenly stopped, and then waited for Hinrich to catch up and then jumped up and shot!
beep!
This method of making a sudden stop to cause a rear-end collision with the opponent's defender is used by almost all point guards.
Hinrich originally thought that Fisher, who almost only broke through to the basket and hit people, would not take action from this position, so he followed a little closer, but he did not expect to get a foul.
Fisher made two free throws and the Lakers expanded their lead to 5 points!
The Wizards' offense was given to Hinrich, who also followed the pick-and-roll with Blatche. Fisher was experienced and did not stick to the defense.
Hinrich faced the encirclement and had to give the ball to Blatche. The moment the latter took the ball, Gasol was in place.
Brac could not find a response from the outside when he took the ball, so he chose to play by himself. He turned his back to a position close to the baseline and failed to hit the half-turn throw.
Odom got the rebound and passed it to Fisher. The Lakers quickly advanced to the frontcourt. Gasol and Odom cut into the paint one after another. None of the Wizards players gave them a chance.
When Kobe cut to the inside, Nick Young was distracted and didn't pay attention. Kobe successfully got the ball one step inside the three-point line.
Sun Yue, who was on the same side of the Wizards, immediately helped to defend, but the opportunity was fleeting. Kobe broke through with a shoulder pressure and got rid of the outside defense and reached the inside.
Li Kaiming let go of his man to help defend, and Kobe passed the ball directly to Odom, who caught the ball and hit it deftly from mid-range!
The Lakers' state was still very hot in the fourth quarter.
The Wizards served to Hinrich, who dribbled the ball across half court. Fisher kept engaging in fierce physical confrontation with Hinrich.
Hinrich expressed that he couldn't bear it and passed the ball to Li Kaiming, who was in a back position inside.
As soon as Li Kaiming got the ball, the Lakers' inside line shrank and moved in his direction.
Li Kaiming's passing vision allowed him to immediately determine who had the best chance on the field.
He turned around and pretended to break through to the basket, attracting the defense of Gasol and Kobe, and then made a high pass, transferring the ball to Nick Young in the opposite corner!
Nick Young caught the ball and shot, and the three-pointer went through the frame with a bang!
Zhang Qiang slapped the table hard!
Damn Nick Young!
This game also attracted a lot of attention in China. The Wizards and Kobe Bryant are both very popular teams in China. Coupled with the last conflict on the court, this game is full of gimmicks.
In addition to Zhang Qiang, those who paid attention to Li Kaiming's performance were also an unshaven man wearing glasses. While watching the game on the screen, he was typing on the keyboard next to him...
In a short while, a complete basketball review article will be published!
The title of the article is also very direct, "Naturalized Li Kaiming cannot improve the ranking of the national team."
And the author of the article happens to be Prime Minister Guda!
In this article, Prime Minister Guda briefly summarized Li Kaiming's playing characteristics from the time Li Kaiming entered the NBA to the end of the Lakers game.
He said in the article that the international arena needs insiders to be defensive, with excellent rebounding, soft touch and outstanding skills. However, Li Kaiming's defense is not enough in the NBA, let alone in the international arena without strong teammates?
Do we expect a player who averaged less than 1 block per game in the NBA to become the defensive core of the national team?
In addition to defense, there are also many problems on the offensive end.
Li Kaiming's playing style requires his teammates to help him open up space. He has high demands on his teammates, and his playing style will compress the living space of his teammates to some extent.
This is inappropriate both from the perspective of striving for results and cultivating the future of the national team.
The last point is that it can be seen from the game against the Lakers just now that it is difficult for Li Kaiming to become a real pillar when the team needs it.
The Lakers are a very balanced team on both offense and defense, and their tactical system is also very complete.
Facing such a team, Li Kaiming struggled a bit.
It can be seen from the 2008 Olympic Games that what we need is a player who can make the final decision at critical moments, rather than someone who scores points in regular time.
In this regard, Li Kaiming is not even as good as the No. 24 opposite...
Prime Minister Guda's post quickly aroused heated discussions on the Internet. Combined with the current battle situation between the Wizards and Lakers, this article has been recognized by many fans!
Just as the Chinese fans' suspicion of Li Kaiming gradually increased, the Lakers on the court once again launched an attack.
The tactics achieved their goal and created opportunities, but the basketball in Odom's hand dropped during the final layup!
Li Kaiming had quick eyesight and quick hands to get the basketball and then dribbled directly towards the frontcourt. The Lakers' defense was fast, but his counterattack was even faster.
It only took him three seconds to hold the ball and rush to the three-point line in the frontcourt.
Artest and Kobe are the Lakers' two strongest outside defenders. Together with Odom, these three people formed a defensive formation against Li Kaiming.
Odom's speed is the slowest among the three. Li Kaiming did not stop after reaching the three-point line, but directly covered his head and rushed to the basket!
Odom had no chance to defend him. Kobe didn't want to pay for a foul, and Artest was going to be full of fouls!
Just when everyone thought Li Kaiming would steadily score these 2 points, Li Kaiming suddenly touched the back of his head with his left hand when he was going for a layup, and then held the ball with his right hand for a layup.
This posture is the personal exclusive posture of Jazz legend Karl Malone. Li Kaiming used this posture to pay tribute to the latter for a layup.
This immediately pissed off Artest. He was originally going to give up on defense, but as soon as he saw Li Kaiming doing this kind of thing, he couldn't help but rush over and push Li Kaiming with both hands!
After Li Kaiming lost his balance in the air, he fell back and subconsciously wanted to grab something.
And the person closest to him is naturally Artest. When time is tight, he doesn't care about anything and just grabs whatever he sees!
When Artest was feeling happy about his move, Li Kaiming in front of him fell over, and then he felt that his lower body was empty, and his entire crotch was a little cold!
Artest's mind turned around and he realized what happened as soon as he left. So he subconsciously grabbed his pants that were falling down with both hands and prepared to pull them back to their original position.
However, almost all of Li Kaiming's body weight was used to pull him down. Naturally, the shorts could not withstand such a powerful force.
So, at the McI Center, the fans sitting close to the court only heard a click, and then Artest's fans were torn in half!
The upper half was with elastic bands and ropes, while the lower half turned into two pieces of rags that Li Kaiming held in his hands.
At the same time, the referee's whistle also sounded. Artest, the pusher, successfully achieved 6 fouls. He will lose the opportunity to step on this court again!
In addition, what was even more embarrassing was that Artest's long johns were completely torn by Li Kaiming, so he had to wear a pair of underwear and walk back to the locker room with a livid face to change!
This scene was also successfully recorded by the fans and photographers at the scene, and became one of the most classic moments in the mcI Center...
Seeing Artest's embarrassed look, Li Kaiming felt a little funny.
He didn't mean to pull Artest's pants to embarrass him, but now it seems that this was simply unintentional!
Artest was sent off, and the Lakers were forced to replace Matt Barnes.
Barnes replaced Artest. From the perspective of the team's lineup, there is an additional defensive weakness in the team, which has more advantages than disadvantages for the Wizards.
Li Kaiming walked to the free throw line humming a tune, and then made two free throws, kicking off the Wizards' counterattack...
The game quickly reached the last five minutes. Without Artest, a strong point of perimeter defense, the pressure on the Wizards was suddenly reduced a lot.
Especially Sun Yue, when facing Artest, he can only shoot wide-open three-pointers, and he may not be able to make them.
But facing Matt Barnes, he couldn't wait to throw every ball over his head!
And Barnes is also very considerate and has been targeted by the Wizards several times.
In addition to being ejaculated once by Sun Yue, Li Kaiming and Hinrich each also rewarded Barnes with a three-point "face-washing" treatment...
The Wizards took advantage of Barnes' loophole and successfully tied the score.
The two sides tied at 108 in the last five minutes of the game. The Wizards applied for a timeout and Sanders was ready to score five points to close the game.
