Li Kaiming still maintained the dominant performance of the first two games in the first quarter, which made 76 Rao head coach Doug Collins have to admit that the mistakes made by their coaching staff before the game are too big!

They just glanced at the video of Li Kaiming's game, and did not take the time to analyze it in detail, and then subconsciously thought that the latter was not defended by the Magic and the Hawks in order to play such a good performance.

At this moment, Doug Collins wants to cry without tears!

If he knew that he didn't talk so much before the game, he originally thought that the Wizards would be like a fish on the board without Arenas, and they would be slaughtered by others.

But looking at it now, it may not be certain who is the butcher and who is the fish......

But now that the words are out, we can't go to those media to spend money to keep up, and only by getting back face in the game can we make up for our previous mistakes.

And in order to achieve this goal, you need to do two things, one is to win, but to suppress Li Kaiming's performance, and definitely not let him play as explosive as in the first quarter!

Although the 76ers coaching staff made strategic mistakes before the game, but now that the goal is clear, the action is very strong, and the next tactics are quickly prepared.

After finishing the next defensive tactics with the players, Doug Collins reached out.

"Guys, you can't lose this game! We want to not only win, but also win beautifully! ”

John Wall, Iguodala and Elton Brand are all awe-inspiring!

They also know what they will face if they lose tonight's game, and it will most likely be an after-dinner conversation among NBA fans during the week!

They don't want to be the laughing stock of other people's mouths!

The 76 Rao players put their hands together with their coaches after clenching their fists, "Philadelphia, win!" ”

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Wizards did not let Li Kaiming play, and they still had a slight advantage, and Sanders decided to use this point difference to buy Li Kaiming a little rest.

In the Wizards' starting lineup, Hinrich also got a chance to rest, last year's 58th pick Lester Hudson replaced Hinrich, the forward position was replaced by the 23rd pick rookie Trevor Booker, and the interior combination was Blatch and McGee.

The Wizards' guard line is still too short of people, and generally a draft at Hudson's position is good to have garbage time to play in the second year, but in the Wizards, who are short of major generals, there is actually a chance to enter the rotation.

In a way, it is also an opportunity for him, and if he doesn't seize this opportunity, then his final outcome will develop in the direction of his prediction and gradually disappear in the league.

Li Kaiming sat on the bench and watched for a while, and found that there is a big problem with the current lineup, that is, no one can dominate the ball.

Hudson's ball control is okay, but the passing awareness and skills are not enough, and in the summer league, Cassel would rather let Sun Yue play point guard than let Hudson control the ball, which shows that the latter's vision is indeed average.

The only advantage is that the two interior lines have a slight advantage over the 76ers, but they don't win much, Captain Brand is old and strong, although his body is not as good as before, but his skills and strength have not decreased, but he is more powerful than when he was younger.

McGee's defense of Brand can only be defended, but the effect of defense is a bit spicy.

However, Blatch actually had the upper hand in the contest with Hawes, which Li Kaiming did not expect.

After all, Hawes is not only much higher than Blatch, but also has a good physical hardware, and Bracy's second-round end show can actually make Hawes unfavorable, which is why the Wizards were not overtaken in a few rounds after taking this tattered lineup.

Hudson can't pass the ball, but one of the good things is to listen to the coach and do whatever the coach tells him to do.

This lineup is on the court, and Sanders' rule is to play inside, so Blatch has become the core of the team.

On the offensive end, the Wizards can barely rely on the interior combination of Blatch and McGee to not let the 76ers explode, but on the defensive end, in the face of the 76 Rao bench guard line, the Wizards' rookie eggs and low-endowed guards are obviously not enough.

Just look at the 76 Rao bench lineup.

In addition to the two interior lineups who are still in the starting lineup, backup point guard Louis Williams, who averaged 14 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 1.3 steals per game last season, is a proper Super Sixth Man level bench player.

Backup forward Thaddeus Young, the 12th pick in the first round of the 2007 draft, averaged 13.8 points and 5.2 rebounds per game last season, and was physically energetic.

Backup forward and point guard swingman, Andre Snocioni of Argenti, averaged 8 points and 3 rebounds per game.

Not to mention that the 76ers also have an unplayed 2008 first-round pick with the 16th pick in the bad guy Maris Speights, who averaged 8 points and 4 rebounds per game last season.

These bench players, any one of them is thrown into the Wizards lineup, they can properly play as a starter, not to mention that these guys are all high picks, looking at it, the entire 76ers lineup except for Lu Wei, who is the 15th pick in the second round, is all first-round picks, and the lowest pick in the first-round pick is starting point guard Zhu Holiday, 17th pick.

The 76ers, in fact, already have the shape of some playoff powerhouses, just one need to have a boss who can make a final decision, so that the team will step up to the level of a championship team.

So when facing these players on the defensive end, the outside line of the Wizards, who are dominated by raw melon eggs and marginal people in the draft, was immediately hammered to the point that they could not find the north.

Lester Hudson was overturned by Lowe when he came up, and then made a foul and scored a layup.

Trevor Booker was also unable to play at all in the face of Thaddeus Young, who was several years older than him, but was crushed by the latter and beaten in.

Two minutes into the second quarter, Sanders had to come to terms with reality and immediately used a short timeout.

This timeout is not included in the team's timeouts, it is only 20 seconds long, and it expires as soon as the first half is over, so the coach usually uses it to make temporary substitutions.

Several guards were replaced, Nick Young and Hinrich returned to the team, the 76ers on the opposite side were also replaced, Speights replaced Brand, and it seems that Doug Collins is also building up strength for the upcoming starters.

Sanders still didn't play Li Kaiming, and the reason why the Wizards were chased for points is clear, that is, because the bench guard is too bad.

Just take the starting two defenders and the problem will be solved.

And in fact, although Lowe is still sharp, but in the face of the veteran Hinrich, he can't play as casually as Hudson.

With six minutes left in the second quarter, the dead ball entered an official timeout, and Sanders also said to Li Kaiming, who was completely sweating on the side, "Lee, it's your turn!" ”

Li Kaiming immediately got up and ripped off his coat and pants.

This training jacket and pants in the NBA are very convenient, they are with snap buttons, and you don't need to zip and take off your pants like you usually take off your clothes, as long as you grab a corner and tear it hard to reveal the jersey inside.

And when the 76ers saw that the main owner finally came up, Doug Collins immediately began to mumble to the players, and then let the starters who had rested for half a quarter put on the game again!

In the second half of the second quarter, starters vs. starters!

Seeing Li Kaiming finally play, MCI fans immediately began to cheer, Li Kaiming only played one game in front of the home fans, which immediately made his popularity rise a lot!

The home fans were already deeply impressed by the performance of this champion show in the first quarter, coupled with the various meal operations of the substitute lineup in the first half of the second quarter, which made the fans feel the power of Li Kaiming!

So from this point of view, Li Kaiming may have to thank Hudson and others, without their support, his influence in Washington would definitely not rise so fast!
