At this time, the score of the two sides was 37-39, and the 76ers temporarily led by 2 points by virtue of the bench advantage.

After the pause, the Wizards sent the ball in the frontcourt, and as soon as Li Kaiming came up, he found that the opposite side gave his defense another intensity.

Brand, who is in his 30s, is willing to pull down his face to prevent him from catching the ball, and there are a few people next to him who are eyeing him, I am afraid that as soon as he gets the ball, several people will be wrapped up at the same time in an instant.

76ers head coach Doug Collins' idea is very simple, first of all, don't let you catch the ball, I will force you to play the ball when you receive the ball, and if you pass the ball well, then I will use three people to surround you to death, so that you have no passing path at all.

Hinrich found that Li Kaiming had no chance to receive the ball, and he had to stop the attack, and Li Kaiming was not idle, using his containment to lure Brand far away and prevent the latter from approaching the basket.

Hinrich used Bracge's cover to break through to the mid-range and shoot, but missed, and the rebound was given to Wall after being picked up by 76ers center Hawes.

Li Kaiming quickly returned to defense, and he knew Wall's fast offensive speed, and he was probably the only one in the entire Wizards team who could keep up.

As soon as Wall saw that Li Kaiming was back in the three-point line, he immediately dispelled the idea of going straight to the basket, how fast Li Kaiming was, Wall had learned it as early as the previous joint tryout, so he wouldn't do this kind of self-deprecating thing, but dribbled the ball around the three-point line, and then went out from the other side.

The rest of the Wizards team is also very fast, and the 76ers' positional battle offense is still dominated by blocking and dismantling without the ball, supplemented by star singles.

Wall broke through to halfway through the screen, and then passed to Zhu Holiday who cut in the air, who wanted to make a layup but was interfered with by Li Kaiming, and then hurriedly passed the ball to Hawes under the basket.

Hawes fished the ball back, but at this time, the anti-blocking Brach had already returned to the defense, Hawes missed the basket, and the rebound was accepted by Li Kaiming, who came later.

The moment he got the rebound, Brand posted it, and the 76ers were frenzied, as long as Li Kaiming got the ball, he would stick to it, no matter where he was.

Li Kaiming passed the ball to Hinrich, and then confronted Brand physically, and the two were entangled in the frontcourt, and Li Kaiming without the ball was still the biggest target of the 76ers' defense.

Of course, the other few others in the Wizards' starting lineup are not dry, and when the 76ers spend most of their energy to deal with Li Kaiming, the rest of them will have a chance to get the data.

The first to get the opportunity was Nick Young, and the 76ers mainly implemented the strategy of fast wrapping and forcing the ball to Li Kaiming, one is the big forward Brand against Li Kaiming, the second is Iguodala, a forward with excellent defensive awareness and good physical fitness, and fast-moving, and the last is the best defensive player on the 76ers guard line, Zhu Holiday.

Holiday may only be in the league for a year, but he has already shown great defensive potential, dealing with a wide variety of guards, as well as being defensively aware and physical.

The defensive lineup composed of these three players, even the outside offensive masters in the league, is estimated to have a headache when they see it.

And Li Kaiming also because of these three targeted defenses, he couldn't find a way to crack it for a while.

The main reason is that Iguodala and Holiday are too fast, maybe he can pass the ball to his teammates in the open position before the bag comes, but these two people can also return to their defensive positions in an instant, Nick Young can still have a little strong shooting ability, Aersoton is unreliable for three points, rather than expecting him to score the ball against Iguodala, it is better to expect Li Kaiming to throw three points far away against these three Rao defenses.

In desperation, Li Kaiming had no choice but to switch to a no-ball style of play, which is what Doug Collins is happy to see.

As long as Li Kaiming doesn't hold the ball, his stats must not be much better!

Collins has a deep understanding of this, there are many players in the league who seem to be omnipotent on the offensive end, but as long as he can't get the ball, half of this player's eighteen martial arts will be wasted.

In his eyes, Li Kaiming is naturally of this type.

It's not that this type of player isn't good, it's just that this type of player is easier to limit than if he has good off-ball skills.

Li Kaiming couldn't catch the ball, so Hinrich took on his original task.

And Li Kaiming is like a-stirring stick, running around, giving his teammates a cover from time to time, and then running backwards or bouncing out.

Now, the 76ers' other skirts are relaxed, and only Brand, who defends Li Kaiming, has reached the world!

Li Kaiming's dirty work also brought hope to the team, and Nick Young finally got a chance with Li Kaiming's off-ball cover, because Brand and Zhu Holiday both went to defend Li Kaiming.

Hinrich hits the ball to Nick Young, who catches the ball and throws it away, and then hits a two-point shot!

39 draws!

The 76ers attacked, their off-ball air cut did not find a chance, and in desperation, Wall chose to force Hinrich, the experienced Hinrich, although he was half a body past Wall, but he has been giving the latter a physical confrontation, which led to Wall when challenging Hinrich in the restricted area, has lost his biggest advantage, that is, speed.

Wall ended the offense with a turnaround jumper, a beautiful iron, and Li Kaiming accepted the rebound and handed it to Hinrich.

In these two rounds, his style of play is completely the style of play of a classical power forward, defending, protecting the frame, and protecting rebounds. Cover on the offensive end, go down, and do all kinds of dirty work.

The reason why Doug Collins thinks that Li Kaiming will not adapt to the style of play without the ball in his hand is because he thinks that a proud man like Li Kaiming, who has long been accustomed to playing with the ball, will not bend down to do those dirty jobs at all.

But what he doesn't understand is that Li Kaiming started with dirty work since the Tigers, maybe Li Kaiming's other words in front of reporters may be false, but only the sentence "I will do anything to win" is true.

When the boss of the team, although temporary, can put down his body to cover, get stuck, and grab boards for role players, the morale bonus for a team is endless.

Li Kaiming still helped his teammates cover, card man, and then walked with Brand in various ways, Hinrich and Brackey's blocking and dismantling cooperation created opportunities, Hawes was beaten several times by Blatch using his speed advantage, this time he was a little jealous so he let Hinrich take a step and returned to the penalty area to prevent Blatch.

Faced with this level of vacancy, Hinrich threw a direct shot!

41 to 39!

Doug Collins put his hand on his chin and fell into deep thought, although the Wizards only led by 2 points, why did he have a bad premonition...

In the next few minutes, Collins finally learned the source of that unease, that is, the rest of the Wizards team did not seem to be afraid of Li Kaiming being held down, but became more and more excited......

The consequence of this is that when the halftime whistle blew, the Wizards once again stretched the difference to 4 points, becoming 46-42!

In these few minutes, Li Kaiming didn't score a point, but he grabbed 5 rebounds, including a frontcourt rebound.

The rest of the Wizards were on fire, with Nick Young scoring four points and Hinrich having two points and three assists......

Sanders, who was next to the Wizards bench, couldn't stop nodding when he saw Li Kaiming's performance!

He has seen a lot of high-pick rookies, most of the high-pick rookies and even some star players, they will not take the initiative to adjust in the face of difficulties, and they can create opportunities for their teammates if they are not in good shape, why do they have to be on the opposite side? Isn't it possible to prove that you're a man in the competition?

Saunders doesn't think so, in his basketball philosophy, only men are those who will do anything to win, and maybe I'll be superficial because of a difficult goal you make.

But in my heart, I'm going to call you a fool because you can't see a better teammate!

Basketball is not only a competition of physical fitness, but also a competition of brains!
