Chapter 390: The Coach Slashes the Highest Score!
Li Wei played a full 10 minutes on the court before letting Nash replace him at the end of the second quarter.
can play so happily, the main reason is that the score on the court has not narrowed, when he got off the court, it was 48:60, and the Knicks were still leading by 12 points!
At the end of the first half, the score was 51-64 and the Cavaliers trailed by 13 points. At the beginning of the second half, the Knicks replaced all the main players.
After Maddie became the starter, he played more actively, Garnett and Houston have been working together for two years and are very familiar with each other, coupled with Nash's excellent playmaking point, the Knicks' offense is like a cloud, and it is unimaginably smooth!
The weakest point of the team's starters is actually the 19-year-old sophomore Da Yao, but Da Yao is already a qualified meat shield on the defensive end, not a pit at all, and he is also skilled with everyone on the offensive end. It didn't take long for him to have two quick dunks and hit a three-pointer!
Cavaliers head coach Randy Whitman quickly called two timeouts in the hope that the team's defense would be tougher. However, the effect of his timeout was immediately hit back by two fouls blown by the referee!
New season, new rules, this is the home of the Knicks again, you play too roughly, the referee has to blow!
As a result, the players of the Cavaliers did not dare to make big moves!
Compared to the Knicks, the Cavaliers' offense is very unfluent. Their big boss, Sean Kemp, is no longer the wild-flying, all-powerful beast-level striker, and the fat former genius has been floating outside to shoot, but not very accurate!
One team opened, the other team was not good, one positive and one negative, and the score was 66:88 at the end of the third quarter, and the Knicks led by 22 points!
"Alas!" Randy Whitman sighed at the point difference, not surprisingly, the Cavaliers couldn't catch up at all in the fourth quarter.
Li Wei was smiling. Such a big difference means that the entire fourth quarter may be garbage time, and he can play again!
"David! David! David! ”
Before the game started in the fourth quarter, the naughty fans called for Li Wei to appear!
Mike Brin said: "The fans are very enthusiastic and want our manager to play a little longer! ”
Fraser said: "David played really well in the first half, and now the difference is so big, I think he can play a little longer!" ”
As a result, Li Wei appeared with Nowitzki and other full substitute lineups, and the offensive battle began again.
Randy Whitman found that although Li Wei was a big leaky colander on the defensive end, it was really a big bug on the offensive end, too accurate, as long as he didn't keep up immediately after blocking and dismantling, he could shoot three-pointers, and the accuracy was scary!
"Do I need more than one person to wrap this guy in?"
Whitman shook his head.
Multi-person bag, what are you kidding, that should be the treatment of superstars!
And Li Wei's passing awareness is so good, if multiple people are trapped, eighty percent will be beaten into a sieve!
If Whitman doesn't wrap up, then he can only work Breven Knight, or if he can't do it, he will change the guard. Li Wei is very happy to encounter a change of defense, and can always make a small and big breakthrough, and then attract the defense, and then pass the ball!
Half a quarter passed, and the Knicks still maintained a point difference of about 20 points, and Whitman saw that there was no hope of a comeback, so he replaced the bench!
This year's No. 8 show, Andre Miller, is back in the picture!
In the face of Andre Miller's back beating, Li Wei still had no choice but to make a gambling steal once in a while!
Miller was a little nervous as it was his first career fight, and was tackled twice by Li Wei in the next few rounds, but the other rounds were completed.
And on the defensive end, the strong Andre Miller isn't fast, at least not as fast as Knight. Li Wei passed the block and dismantle, and it was easy to fight small and big, so the two sides continued to explode each other!
In the last three minutes of the game, Li Wei came off the court and replaced him with Bulls three-time point guard Steve Kerr. All the fans applauded Li Wei together, and Li Wei responded with a fist salute!
Mike Brin said: "Coach Lee shot 6 of 11 in this game, all 6 goals were three-pointers, and he scored 18 points alone!" ”
Walter Fraser said: "I look at the technical statistics, ah, David came off the bench and became the team's top scorer!" ”
Mike Brin said: "Haha, is he the team-high scorer?" But he also made Andre Miller and Knight the Cavaliers' top and second highest scorers! ”
Walter Fraser said: "Yes, it's crazy, but it's a big win, I like it!" ”
At the end of the final whistle, the score was fixed at 108:124, which was all Li Wei's offense and defense, forcibly raising the scores of both teams.
For the Cavaliers, Blevin Knight scored 18 points, Andre Miller also scored 17 points, Sean Kemp scored 17 points and five boards on 6-of-20 shooting, and Bob Soula scored 15 points.
On the Knicks' side, due to the large point difference, Garnett, Houston and others only played two quarters and did not score high. Garnett had 17 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, Alan Houston had 16 points, Nowitzki had 15 points, and Da Yao also scored 11 points!
The team's scoring is very average, and Li Wei has become the team's scoring champion!
He played 19 minutes and scored 18 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 steals and 1 block!
The funniest thing is that all four of his rebounds are offensive rebounds, and three of them are the kind that were picked up from behind the hat!
In fact, he ate a total of four hot pots, and one of them failed to get it back. After being capped four times, he was still able to shoot 6 of 11, and his shooting percentage was indeed frighteningly high!
"Eat dumplings!" Li Wei smiled lightly when he saw that he was actually the person with the highest score in the team.
He can score high points today, the first is that he feels really good, and the second is that the Cavaliers are not very familiar with his style of playing, as long as he plays a few more games, the coaching staff of each team will definitely deploy him in a targeted manner!
However, it doesn't matter, and what NBA star is not targeted?
As long as you can prevent it, then come, I really can't vote for me, I can still pass it on, I don't believe you can restrict me!
After the game, press conference.
Reporters asked Randy Whitman, "Coach Whitman, it's amazing that the Cavaliers let Coach Lee score a game-high 18 points, are you guys deliberately letting him?" ”
Whitman's face darkened a little: "He played really well, we didn't do a good job defending, but I never thought Coach Lee would be such a good shooter, even though he shot the last shot in the Finals!" ”
On the other side, Li Wei was also being interviewed.
"Coach Lee, it's incredible that you actually played 19 minutes in the opening game and scored a team-high 18 points. What makes your performance so good? ”
Li Weidao: "I've always been very good, I said a long time ago, I was the best rookie in the class of '97, and Duncan was second. Wait, what are you talking about? Did I cut the team's highest score? It seems that I played too selfishly, I have to pass more balls in the next game! ”
"Hahahaha!" Journalists laughed!
