Coming back from the timeout, less than 7 minutes before the end of the first half, that is, under the leadership of Arenas, the bench lineup not only did not score a point for more than 4 minutes, but also allowed the Cavaliers to score 7 points!

Don't blame Sanders for having a big temper, anyone who sees this has to be upset!

Cavaliers head coach Larry Drew saw Sanders change to the starting lineup, and immediately changed the entire starting lineup.

As far as the Cavaliers are concerned, in the face of a player of Li Kaiming's level, Larry Drew didn't dare to put it on the court for a minute.

Back in the game, since Sanders' timeout was called before the free throw, after coming back, Graham of the Cavaliers made the free throw first.

Not surprisingly, the latter hit a free throw steadily, 32-31, and the difference between the two teams was only 1 point!

The Wizards served, Hinrich dribbled over half the court, Li Kaiming stepped forward to cover, Hinrich broke through to the free throw line with the help of the block, the Cavaliers had followed the inside line, and could not continue to break through, Hinrich transferred the ball in a wide range and gave the ball to Nick Young at 45 degrees on the right side.

Nick Young's position is not good, Graham who defends him is not a hairy man like Booker, and he has a lot of experience, so in desperation, Nick Young once again transferred the ball to Li Kaiming's hand Zheng at the top of the arc

After JJ Hickson was bukkake by Li Kaiming for three points in the first quarter, he didn't dare to let go of the latter.

So when Li Kaiming received a pass from Nick Young at the top of the arc, JJ Hickson directly stuck to Li Kaiming's body, but Li Kaiming is not the kind of off-ball shooter who can only catch and shoot, and others will be finished as soon as they defend.

He directly stepped off the ball to open up space, and then suddenly took a step inside the three-point line in disguise.

Li Kaiming's steps were too big, coupled with strong explosiveness, JJ Hickson was thrown behind him in an instant, and at this time, the rest of the Cavaliers were also ready on the inside, ready to help Hickson defend Li Kaiming at any time.

But now Li Kaiming is no longer the player with dead ends on the offensive end, and he is a real offensive kaleidoscope at this time.

Cavaliers head coach Larry Derew, who was on the sidelines, stared at the court without blinking, and his coaching staff used the video footage of Li Kaiming's game to keenly discover that the latter did not like to shoot from mid-range, except for throwing three-pointers to kill the basket.

So in this game, Larry Drew also asked the Cavaliers players to prevent Li Kaiming from throwing three-pointers as much as possible, and then defended the basket and let the latter shoot from the middle distance.

Seeing that the Cavaliers players on the court executed his pre-game tactics very well, Larry Deru muttered, "Son, there is never a person in the world who has no weaknesses, and your weaknesses have been discovered by me!" ”

But at the next moment, Larry Deru's whole person froze, because the guy on the court wearing the No. 0 Wizards jersey actually took a step inside the three-point line after breaking through Hickson, and directly stopped and pulled it up and threw it!

A bad blessing flashed through Larry Drew's heart

The basketball flew out of Li Kaiming's fingertips, followed a standard parabola, and landed accurately into the basket!

Swish!

33 to 31!

Larry Drew and Sanders' eyes widened at the same time!

When did he become so confident in the middle distance?

As Li Kaiming's coach, Sanders naturally knows that Li Kaiming doesn't like to shoot mid-range, in fact, in Sanders' view, although Li Kaiming's mid-range is not considered top-notch, it also exceeds the average level of Lianmei, and there is no problem with shooting a little appropriately.

But no matter what he does, Li Kaiming only shoots three points, and even if he has a mid-range shot, he also turns around and throws or hooks his hand.

As for why Li Kaiming is obsessed with focusing on three-point shooting and baskets, the specific reason Sanders also asked, and then Li Kaiming gave a vivid math lesson.

Although from the so-called mathematical point of view, the benefit of shooting three-point is indeed greater than that of mid-range, but Sanders, who has been dealing with basketball for most of his life, cannot accept this style of play, if it is a role player, it is acceptable to only shoot three-pointers, but as the team's top card, it is a bit too much to throw only three points!

Of course, if it weren't for the fact that Li Kaiming's three-point shooting rate per game is close to 50 percent so far, Sanders would not let the former play like this......

So now seeing that Li Kaiming actually made an elegant mid-range pull-up jump shot in the game, Sanders's heart is still very gratified, this son has finally opened his mind, and he is not ready to hang himself on the three-point tree!

On the other side, Larry Deru's face was cloudy, and with this one ball alone, he couldn't tell whether Li Kaiming's goal was sure or blind, so Larry Deru was still ready to continue his defensive strategy.

The Cavaliers' offense, after meeting the Wizards' starting lineup, immediately hit a wall, Mo Williams passed the ball to Valejo, who barely missed the layup, and the rebound was picked up by Li Kaiming, launching a fast break!

JJ Hickson used all his strength to keep up with Li Kaiming, who was running with the ball, and the rest of the Cavaliers also quickly returned to defense, and the Wizards' fast break they had learned as early as the preseason.

But who knew that after Li Kaiming quickly attacked the frontcourt, he didn't play inside at all, but stopped directly at the three-point line, and then pulled out a three-point shot again!

JJ Hikson's face changed, I'm grass! Again!

It's the same plot as last time, JJ Hickson even thought he had entered some kind of time loop, and even the sound of basketball brushing the net was very similar!

36 to 31!

As soon as Li Kaiming led the starters back, he immediately opened up the difference again in two rounds!

On the Wizards' bench, Arenas, who covered his head with a towel, fell into deep thought......

Seeing that Li Kaiming came back in the second quarter, the effect was immediate, and the MCI home team player smiled and interacted with the guests, "What do you think? The difference between Lee and Gilbert's influence on the court is a bit big! ”

The guest neither nodded nor shook his head, "If Gilbert's state has been like this, then his days in Washington are probably going to start counting down......"

Whether the countdown to Arenas' departure has started or not is something that management will have to consider.

The countdown on the court quickly passed away, and the second quarter ended with the Wizards leading the Cavaliers by 12 points, 65-53!

Li Kaiming played 16 minutes in the half, shooting 7-of-11 from the field, including 3-of-4 from three-point range and 4-of-4 from the free-throw line, finishing with 21 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists.

The Cavaliers don't know what the situation is, but they have been using JJ Hickson to defend him alone, plus he feels better today, and after half time, he shot Hexon numbly!

It is estimated that Hickson went home at night and dreamed, and the dreams were all scenes of Li Kaiming's various dry bukkake films......

The rest of the Wizards' starters also performed well, and Nick Young finally found his form, scoring 8 points and 2 rebounds on 2-of-4 three-point shooting in the half. Hinrich is still a trusty traditional point guard, and even though his playing time was shortened in the first quarter because of Arenas, he still played diligently, finishing with four points and five assists at halftime. Since J.J. Hickson was pulled out by Li Kaiming, Bracch on the inside only had to deal with one Vallejo, and he made 3-of-5 shooting in the half, finishing with nine points and six rebounds.

The data of the substitute lineup is more chilling, the previous team's sixth man Yi Jianlian only got 2 shots in the half, because he played with Arenas most of the time, and he could only turn back and run when he played, so the half-time data was zero.

Sun Yue didn't have much playing time, and his previous hand was no longer magical, so Sanders didn't give him too many opportunities.

When the halftime whistle blew, Arenas looked at the big screen above his head and found that the difference between the two sides was really double digits, and the whole person was petrified in an instant......

How is it possible, this guy, is it really more powerful than I thought?

……

At the same time as the game was going on, in the office of the president of the Washington Wizards, a call rang suddenly, and a big hand picked up the phone on the desk, followed the trajectory of the phone, and saw that the owner of the phone, a white man wearing a suit and slightly fat winter melon face, answered the antelope call.

"Pat, you guys must not be looking for me for any good thing!"

On the other end of the phone, the man named Pat also laughed twice, and then asked, "Hearing that Arenas is doing something again, I just want to ask the champion of your team, what kind of chips do you want?" ”
