Chapter 213: Hinrich's requirements are a bit high
Si, who was left behind by Li Kaiming, was also stunned at the moment and at a loss.
This Chinese son seems to be a bit overclassed!
Even Si, who is good at attacking with the face frame, has to admit that he can't do the same moves at all.
Although he is good at facing the frame singles, he is used to receiving the ball inside the three-point line, whether it is a breakthrough or a shot, he can score points consistently.
But let him dribble the ball from outside the three-point line, wear a butterfly into the restricted area, and then go to the basket, even the proud Si had to be convinced, because he couldn't do it!
After Li Kaiming dunked the basket, he landed on both feet, bent his knees to relieve the impact on his knees, and then turned back and ran to his own half without hesitation.
As he passed by Spike Lee in the front row of the audience, he put his index finger up in the middle of his mouth and made a silent gesture!
However, his eyes did not glance at Spike Lee, and he just kept this position and ran past the latter.
But even then, Spike Lee's face instantly turned pale.
Although his complexion was dark, it could still be seen that his face had changed a lot.
Just after Li Kaiming's European step dunk, Spike Lee was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and even the glasses on the bridge of his nose slipped down a few points!
The broadcast footage at Madison Square Garden was very professional, with Lee Kaiming's brilliant goal replayed from all angles on the big screen.
At this time, a few solutions that came back to their senses began to discuss Li Kaiming's goal just now.
Black dismissal Brian Mac lamented, "Except for Kevin Durant, I really can't think of any guy who is more than two meters tall and can make a move like Li Kaiming." ”
Kate Donald, the guest on the side, also nodded and agreed, "Judging from Li Kaiming's breakthrough just now, maybe his dribbling skills are not bad for Durant, I feel that his dribbling fluency is even stronger than Durant!" ”
Brian Mac didn't answer, but continued, "And he also has unparalleled explosiveness and speed, and it's hard to quantify the technical things, but according to the joint trial data before the draft, Li Kaiming is the fastest among the rookies, and his speed makes his breakthrough more intimidating!" Stoudemire should be well aware of this. ”
Kate Donald on the side laughed, "I don't know if Amare has any regrets about provoking Li Kaiming now, if I were him, I would definitely regret it, this guy will definitely not be able to prevent it with Amare's defensive ability." ”
Si did regret it a little now, he knew that he would fight normally, he didn't expect that with his speed, he could be passed by Li Kaiming in one step, so he was caught off guard.
D'Antoni on the sidelines didn't change his expression at all, as if it was all in his expectation.
The Knicks attacked, and Felton continued to block and dismantle Si, but this time the Wizards came up with both interior lines, directly strangling Si's intention to catch the ball.
In desperation, Felton handed the ball to Gallinari from beyond the three-point line.
Danilo Gallinari is a striker from Italy who was selected Zheng with the 6th pick in the first round in 2006
He has the same traits as European players, solid fundamentals, good projection and a strong sense of teamwork.
And he has a height of 206 and a strong body, his height is actually more suitable for playing the No. 4 position, but helplessly came to the Suns, and he can only swing to the forward position.
However, with his technical characteristics, he can do the job, the only drawback is the fear of playing against those fast breakthrough strikers.
But against the Wizards, the Knicks have no such concerns, and the Wizards' forward Alsolton is a defensive forward who can only score 4 points per game and is much bigger than Gallinari.
In this way, Thorton just loaded Gallinari, who received the ball and shot straight three-pointers.
The shorter Thorton struggled towards Gallinari's basketball, but the latter shot quickly and high, and Thorton didn't interfere with him.
Gallinari averaged 15.1 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game last season, shooting 38 percent from six three-point ranges per game, making him the top scorer in the NBA.
The last time the Wizards had a shooting percentage above 38 from the field with more than six shots was Mr. Billionaire Rashad Lewis.
Gallinari's three-pointer hit a solid one, drawing the attention of the crowd back to the game again.
At this time, most people were still discussing Li Kaiming's European step dunk just now.
5 to 2!
Hinrich held the ball across the halfcourt, and Felton defended, a heavy point guard who was only 185 tall but weighed more than 90kg, but strangely his speed was also very weak.
So on the defensive end, he can not only deal with the fast players, but also against the shooting guards who are a head taller than him.
It was difficult for Hinrich to get rid of Felton at his own speed, so he had no choice but to call Li Kaiming to come over and cover.
Since Xin Li found out that Li Kaiming's three points are particularly powerful, he rarely asks others to come over to block and dismantle.
No. 5 Blatch has become the second best player on the Wizards team in points per game after the disbandment of the Three Musketeers last season.
It stands to reason that it is not a loss to play with Brackey.
But people are better than death, and goods have to be thrown away.
After Bracy covered, he could only go down to the three-point line, and he couldn't bounce out.
No one dares to put Li Kaiming's three points on the other inside, so after Li Kaiming blocks and dismantles outside, there must be at least one person who will defend Li Kaiming outside the three-point line, so that Hinrich has plenty of space to start and choose to pass.
Hinrich: Blatch, it's not that you're not good enough, it's just that my brother's requirements are a bit high!
Li Kaiming went up to cover, this time Si was extremely serious, and while sticking up, he told Felton Li Kaiming the direction of covering.
Felton's confrontation is excellent among defenders, but it is not enough to look at Li Kaiming, who is a head taller than him.
Even though Si told him that Li Kaiming was covering over there, Felton still felt like he had hit a wall, and even his brain was buzzing.
Seeing that Felton was stuck by Li Kaiming on the outside, he had no choice but to lower his center of gravity to change his defense, and covered Hinrich with his arms while retreating, waiting for Felton to come back.
Unexpectedly, after Li Kaiming covered, he didn't give Felton time to react at all, but directly exerted his body strength, and walked outside the three-point line against Felton.
After the top of the arc was in place, Li Kaiming clapped his hands and shouted the name of Xinrich, who understood that he would directly make a high pass, and Felton, who was sandwiched in Li Kaiming's armpit, could only watch the former catch the ball, and then directly pull it up and throw it!
Dismissal Kate shook her head, "Li Kaiming's choice is not good, Felton is so tight, even if he wants to shoot three points, he is not enough ......"
Before his words fell, Li Kaiming's three-point shot went hollow into the net.
Swish!
5 to 5!
Kate had an embarrassed look on her face, it was the first time she had been slapped in the face so quickly after being dismissed for so many years.
The game continued, and on the Knicks' side, the main scoring was concentrated on the Stang side, or using Stang as a decoy to create an empty space for Gallinari on the outside.
Felton also broke through a few from time to time.
The Wizards, on their side, are completely centered on Kaiming Lee, with Hinrich and Blatch as the second and third scoring points.
Originally, Nick Young should be the most reliable shooter on the outside, but who knows if these Nick Young are on vacation to play, and he has a bad hand for two consecutive games, and the first quarter of this game is a whole 4 in 0.
Fortunately, there are three people supported by Li Kaiming, and the Knicks feel average, and finally after the end of the first quarter, the Knicks led the Wizards by 2 points at 28-26.
Li Kaiming played 8 minutes, 3 of 5, including 1 of 3 three-pointers, and scored 7 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists.
Hinrich had four points and two assists in the first quarter, and Blatch had five points and four rebounds.
Yi Jianlian is still the sixth in the team after Li Kaiming is off the court, he played 4 minutes and scored 3 points and 2 rebounds in 1 of 2, and I can't see how he feels tonight for the time being.
