The referee on duty tonight was Benny Adams, who wore the No. 47 uniform, and Adams summoned the players from both sides to gather in the middle circle and then took the whistle in his mouth.

Jump ball, Andre Blache vs Spencer Hoyce.

Bennyadams blew the whistle and then threw the basketball into the air, Blatch and Hawes jumped almost at the same time, but after all, Hoyce is two meters tall and has a longer arm span than Brackey, so in the end, it was Hawes who was superior, and the 76ers won the opportunity to attack.

John Wall took the ball from his teammates, and the fans at the MCI Center erupted in a huge boo!

This is the home court of the Wizards, and the statements of 76ers head coach Collins and all the players at the pre-game press conference angered the Wizards fans, and as the person concerned, Rao John Wall naturally became the target of the Wizards fans.

However, Wall is also very competitive, steadily and steadily put the ball over the frontcourt, and Hinrich, who defends Wall, is under a lot of pressure, although he also wants to teach Wall as an old seniority, but his level is not enough, Wall is a champion-level physical endowment after all, especially speed, which is among the best in the entire 10 drafts.

Hinrich belongs to the type of person who relies on his brain to play the ball, so he wisely chose to let Wall take a step and give the latter space to shoot, but not let him break through.

Wall also saw the move, and after finding out that Hinrich let him go, he immediately called Hawes to come up and block the demolition.

Hoyce was so tall that he stuck next to Hinrich, who felt only half of his vision blocked.

Wall used cover to break through the Wizards' first line of defense.

With Hinrich standing at the back, Wall was only one position ahead of the former, and he was ahead of Brach, who was crouching on the inside.

Wall made a quick decision, and the speed was raised to step into the penalty area, although Bradge was waiting for the rabbit, but Wall's breakthrough also changed in it, and he was rushed in without paying attention.

Wall is one such player, even if you know he's a great breakaway, but most of the time you can't stop him.

Seeing that Wall was about to score the first point of the game against the boos of the audience, Li Kaiming suddenly came out of the middle and stretched out his hand towards the ball cover in Wall's hand!

Wall's face also changed, and he had to twist his body in the air to avoid Li Kaiming's block.

The block was dodged, but Wall's layup was also successfully destroyed by Li Kaiming, and the basketball smashed onto the rebound, flew over the basket, and then was collected by Blatche, who arrived in time.

The fans at the MCI Center breathed a sigh of relief!

If Wall scored one as soon as he came up this time, it would be a big blow to the morale of the Wizards.

The Wizards attacked, Hinrich dribbled to outside the three-point line, Li Kaiming received the ball at 45 degrees, faced the defender Elton Brand, and made a three-point feint.

But what he didn't expect was that Brand didn't think so, and the latter didn't even take a step forward to defend his three-pointer!

Yo! Look down on Lao Tzu, right?

Li Kaiming's heart was horizontal, and the feint halfway suddenly became true, and he shot directly on the spot!

Brand found out that Li Kaiming was actually real, so he reacted and reached out to pounce, but it was too late.

Swish!

A crisp sound of brushing the net sounded, the basketball hollow entered the net, and Li Kaiming won the first point of the game!

3 to 0!

The crowd at the MCI Center immediately cheered, and Li Kaiming came up to make John Wall's offense go down the drain with a defense, and then another three-pointer opened the game for the team to create a lead.

More and more Wizards fans have come to see Li Kaiming as the core of the team.

The 76ers attacked, Wall held the ball, and his passing control was also very good, and he generally would not choose to play by himself.

This time he didn't call cover, but took advantage of his strong speed, and when he dribbled to two steps away from the three-point line, he suddenly exploded in speed and directly caught Hinrich off guard.

Hinrich was beaten again, but he gritted his teeth and followed behind Wall, and did not give up the defense, Li Kaiming still shrank into the penalty area to help Hinrich wipe his ass.

Wall broke to the free-throw line and struck the ball to the mid-range unguarded Brand player Zheng

But Wall still underestimated Li Kaiming's speed of defense, near this narrow penalty area, Li Kaiming can return to the defensive position in one step with his long legs, and does not give Brand a chance to throw an open three-point at all.

But Brand is not a vegetarian either, and since he can't shoot open spots, I'll solve the problem alone.

Elton Brand was drafted by the Los Angeles Clippers in 1999 with the No. 1 pick, hence his nickname Captain.

He is 206 tall, but he plays the position of power forward, but his height of 206 has not become his disadvantage, in his rookie season, he can average 20+10 per game without shooting three points, which shows his strength.

Brand is the short rebounding monster among the four wizards on the field, does not shoot three-pointers, likes to play with his back, has strong strength, and has explosive rebounding ability.

So in Brand's opinion, it's okay if you can't shoot a vacant position, champion, just fight!

So after Li Kaiming returned to the defense, Brand first guarded the ball and observed the situation, and after finding that no one was covering it, he began to dribble and push inside.

When he entered Lianmei, what kind of inside line had he not seen? Can you still be afraid of a new Lianmei raw melon egg?

But when Brand pushed Li Kaiming up, his face immediately changed!

Hold the grass, so hard?

It's not that he can't stand it, it's that it's much more difficult than he imagined!

Generally speaking, the most obvious characteristic of players who enter the NBA in the NCAA draft is that they cannot adapt to the confrontation, so in the first year after many players enter the league, in addition to gaining experience, the most important thing is to gain muscle to adapt to the confrontation.

That's why Brand confidently chose to single Li Kaiming, with his strength, no one in the entire NBA No. 4 position dared to pat his chest and be stronger than him.

But after that first intimate encounter, Brand realized that something was wrong with the rookie!

The offspring has a lot of strength!

However, at this time, Li Kaiming is actually not very comfortable, facing Brand, who is one of the best in the league in the power forward position, his 80-point power attribute is not enough.

At first, he could catch Brand off guard, but after Brand got used to it, he was a little overwhelmed.

But in fact, Brand on the other side was very surprised, this new champion is not only strong, but also the continuity of strength is also very good, generally the inside line carries him a few times and has no stamina, but he has slapped the ball four or five times, and has not yet found a suitable opportunity.

Li Kaiming's long arms have always covered him, and at this time, Brand's height disadvantage is highlighted.

In desperation, he had to suddenly exert his strength to open up a little space, and then turned around with his left foot as the axis and threw it with one hand!

Li Kaiming endured the pain in his chest, and raised his arms high to cover Brand's vision.

Guided by muscle memory, the basketball managed to get to the top of the basket, but with significantly more force, bounced on the basket and fell to the other side.

Bracch took the rebound safely.

Li Kaiming defended another attack of 76 Rao!

Next to the Wizards' bench, Sanders clenched his fists hard!

Pretty!

Originally, when he saw that Brand was going to fight Li Kaiming alone, he also sweated for the latter in his heart, but he didn't expect that this guy who was eating at Brand would also be deflated when he met Li Kaiming!

The odds of winning tonight have gone up a bit!

And Brand was also very stunned, he turned over and threw with the back of his hand, and he hit every shot during training, which was also one of his signature moves, but he didn't expect to be defended by a rookie!

This rookie, there's something.

Everyone praised Li Kaiming's strength in their hearts, but only Li Kaiming himself knew what he had paid to defend against Brand's attack.

The dull pain in the ribs is the answer.
