Li Kaiming's two consecutive passes surprised Bulls head coach Thibodeau.

He has built a defensive formation that can handle almost all kinds of players, except that he doesn't think about the interior who can pass the ball.

Because throughout the ages, assists can basically be double-doubled on the outside, especially the point guard, the inside line has a short touch time, and the attack area is closer to the basket, which is easy to be guarded by the opposite side.

Basketball emperor Wilt Chamberlain won the assist title in one season, but his assist title didn't mean much, because he controlled his desire to shoot as much as possible that season, and then desperately passed the ball to his teammates.

The word is that this assist king is brushed.

Or, in addition to the fact that many of Chamberlain's records are due to his physical prowess, a large part of the reason is that he himself is very keen on brushing data.

He prides himself on all sorts of surprising data.

Chamberlain is best known for his 100 points on 36-of-63 shooting and 28-of-32 free throws in the regular season game against the New York Knicks on March 2, 1962.

Looking back now, whether it's 63 shots or 32 free throws, it's an almost impossible thing to do in modern basketball.

In the past few years, the NBA team has only made a total of 80 or 90 shots in a game, and a core player can make more than 20 shots, which is already a suspicion.

And the inside line almost always expects the outside line to pass the ball to them, and almost no inside line can take the ball to launch an attack on its own, let alone pass the ball to drive teammates.

By far the best passing center in NBA history should be Avidas Sabonis from Europe, and he has not averaged more than five assists per game.

Former Wolves Kevin Garnett has averaged 20+5+5 data per game for several seasons, so he is also known by the media as the most versatile player in the power forward position.

But Tom Thibodeau knew that even if the Bulls were up against Chamberlain, Sabonis and Garnett, they wouldn't be able to make such a subtle pass.

These few people, at best, can only achieve the goal of not being afraid of the two of them, and Li Kaiming has reached a new realm, he can't wait for you to wrap him, so that he can always find a teammate in the vacant position, and then take you away directly in waves!

When he found out that the Wizards' newly drafted No. 1 pick showed him such a hand, he immediately asked the players on the court to change their defensive strategy.

Local pinch strikes to prevent catching the ball and quickly return to defense.

The Bulls' offense ended with a throw from Derrick Rose, and Arenas tried his best to interfere this time around, finally allowing Rose's shot to deflect off the basket.

Li Kaiming got the rebound, Elsolton and Nick Young on the outside have begun to run frantically to the frontcourt, with Li Kaiming, the Wizards' fast break rhythm has accelerated a lot, and they can even get backcourt rebounds to launch a fast attack!

Seeing Alsolton running in front of Rohr, Li Kaiming made a long pass, the ball led, and it happened to be a step ahead of Thornton.

Rohr Deng didn't see it well, and immediately prepared to step forward to foul, but Thorton actually gritted his teeth and accelerated again, and then took three steps before Rohr Deng pulled him!

Honk!

The referee blew the whistle and Rohr Deng was fouled on a shot.

Thorton, who lost his balance, threw the ball to the basket unwillingly, but not everyone was Li Kaiming and could play this kind of ball.

In the end, he had to obediently stand on the free throw line.

Two free throws and two hits, 6-7, the Wizards overtake!

Seeing this, Thibodeau immediately applied for a timeout, and the strategy of defending Li Kaiming should be explained to the players, the players of the Bulls have never seen Li Kaiming's type, and it is normal to be a little confused for a while.

Thibodeau is also confused, where did this freak come from!

The timeout passed, and after Thibodeau's guidance, the Bulls players reacted.

Defend the No. 0 on the opposite side as the boss of the team!

The timeout came back for the first offense, which ended with a close-range throw from Rose.

I had to, Rose's breakthrough was really difficult to defend, and Arenas was a little overwhelmed.

The Wizards served, Arenas picked up Bracy to cover Noah, and then a double change passed the latter, rushing to make a layup before the Bulls could make up for it

If you don't play one more, the fans still think that he Arenas has fallen off a cliff!

The difference was still 1 point back and forth, the Bulls attacked, and Rohr Deng singled Elsolton in the middle distance, turning over and jumping to kill Zheng

Li Kaiming was stuck in position on the inside line and was ready to receive the ball, but Gibson began to defend around the front and did not let him catch the ball, and Noah and Rohr Deng in the bottom corner were also ready to move, as long as Arenas passed the ball, Li Kaiming would be directly clamped to death!

In this case, if you force a pass, there is a high probability that you will be stolen by the opposite side, but Li Kaiming will not only work in the penalty area, he immediately ran to the position close to the three-point line.

Although Gibson also followed, he didn't go around this time, but there was vigilance in his eyes, and loudly reminded Rose to block the demolition.

But Li Kaiming didn't come to block and dismantle, he took the ball from Arenas with one hand, looked at Gibson who leaned down and was ready to prevent him from breaking through, smiled slightly, and then shot directly from a medium distance!

Gibson didn't expect that this guy would shoot from mid-range, because after the opening, Li Kaiming almost never went out of the restricted area on the offensive end, so he naturally thought that this guy didn't shoot, so he subconsciously took a step.

It was too late to defend again, so he could only look back and watch the basketball fly into the hoop.

Li Kaiming's shooting posture is very standard, and the hand shape is also very good-looking, so this ball can't be blind!

After seeing this scene, Tom Thibodeau was also a little dumbfounded!

It's not easy to defend now, so you can't start defending around the three-point line!

And this area is so big that it's so far away from the basket that it can't be traced at all

Li Kaiming faced the basket and could find an empty teammate at any time, which was simply roasting Thibodeau on the fire!

If he is broken through the defense by a rookie, where will he put the face of the Thibodeau defensive coach?

But the question is, will Li Kaiming give him this face?

……

Since Li Kaiming showed his mid-range shooting skills, the Bulls players on the court were directly unable to do anything.

So in the end, the way to defend Li Kaiming was to return to the classic man-marking, and let Li Kaiming single Gibson to prevent him from driving his teammates.

Thibodeau is also bitter in his heart, who knew that he could meet a freak like Li Kaiming in a preseason.

So now he can only console himself in his heart, the Emerica people believe that the source of basketball defensive strategy is one-on-one defense.

Is it prevented? If you are ......

Since Thibodeau has sacrificed the ultimate defensive cheat, it is not okay for Li Kaiming not to respond, and the face that should be given still has to be given.

Otherwise, others would think that he is on the same level as Tygibson!

So, in the next ten minutes, Li Kaiming completely turned into a big demon king with a stick, and combined with the pass, which made Gibson miserable!

Before the game, Gibson thought that he could teach a lesson to the new champion, but he didn't expect that on the court, the hunter became the prey, and he was directly beaten stupid by Li Kaiming...

At halftime, the Wizards led the Bulls by six points, 56-50.

Li Kaiming played 15 minutes, scoring 16 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists on 7-of-10 shooting, which was better than the full-court statistics of most players.

Arenas had a poor three-point shot tonight, but he opted for more attacks to the basket when he was on three-point margins.

Noah's rim is strong, so Arenas' efficiency can only be average, playing 13 minutes in the half to score 8 points and 2 assists.

Nick Young had a good three-point shot, scoring nine points on three three-pointers at halftime.

Bulls Rose unsurprisingly scored the most, scoring 15 points and 3 assists, Gibson was beaten by Li Kaiming, only scored 2 points in the half, or took advantage of Li Kaiming's departure to steal chickens under the basket.

Noah's scoring ability is not good, scoring 5 points in the half, but he got 8 rebounds and tied with Li Kaiming, which shows his strong defensive ability.
