Yao's exit only paused the game for a while, and the Rockets brought in Chuck Hayes as a backup interior lineman and Scola played center.

Li Kaiming prayed for Yao Ming in his heart for a while, and then walked onto the court, at this time the score of the two sides was 18-14, and the Wizards led by 4 points.

Yao Ming scored 4 points 6 minutes before leaving, and the shooting rate was 100%, which shows that if Yao Ming was at his peak, with the Wizards' interior defense, I am afraid it would not be able to stop it at all.

The Rockets sent the ball to point guard Ish Smith, who dribbled past Hinrich and made a quick shot from mid-range, but missed.

Li Kaiming was just about to take off the rebound, and suddenly a figure half a head older than him squeezed over on the other side, although that person was not tall, but he had great strength, and even Li Kaiming's strength attribute reached 90, which was a little difficult to parry.

This person is Chuck Hayes, who has just come on the court, a short and stout rebounding monster who is one of the four monsters of the legendary court, with a height of 198 to play inside, and can also score nearly 2 frontcourt rebounds per game, which shows Hayes's strong ability and rebounding ability.

Coupled with the difference in height between the two people, the center of gravity of Li Kaiming and Hayes was not at the same height at all.

Li Kaiming could only experience an extremely strange feeling, he was not afraid of Hayes than pure strength, but this guy was too short, and the focus was just below his hips when he was stuck in the position, and he couldn't exert his strength at all in that position.

But Li Kaiming is not a vegetarian either, and while trying hard to prevent himself from being pushed away, he stretched out his arm and slapped the basketball that bounced back in the air.

Hayes won the card in position, but his height, reach, and bounce were all beaten by Li Kaiming, and the ball was eventually turned into Bracy's hands by the latter.

The Rockets are still quick to defend, and Hayes has the advantage of being a short interior lineman, which is to move a lot faster than Scola.

The Wizards played a positional battle again, and after the Hinrich blocking tactics this time, the Rockets did not directly contain Li Kaiming, and Hayes wanted to challenge it to see if he could defend against Li Kaiming.

Seeing Li Kaiming against Shanghai Yas, the rest of the Wizards team pulled away, and they had seen Li Kaiming's offensive ability in practice and games, so they were not worried at all about what Hayes might cause the latter to do.

Hinrich gave the ball in, and as soon as Li Kaiming got the ball, Hayes's tough defense was pasted.

Hayes' defense was simple, using the lower set to resist Li Kaiming while giving the body a confrontation to prevent the latter from getting off the ball.

Maybe when you meet a person with average physical fitness, you can't stand the confrontation given by Hayes, so the ball can only be barely passed, or the shot is iron.

But Li Kaiming was never afraid of any challenge on the offensive end, he took the ball sideways, and then inserted the non-pivot foot between Hayes's legs, and then pressed the whole person's center of gravity down, and the legs pushed Hayes away.

Hayes felt a tremendous force coming from his chest, a feeling of loss of balance from under his feet, his face changed, and he immediately took a step backwards to prevent himself from falling.

As soon as he took control of his body, Hayes greeted him again, but how could Li Kaiming let go of the hard-won space?

He took advantage of the time difference and immediately got off the ball, while lowering the shoulder close to Hayes, who also lost his flexibility when he wanted to use his power to push Li Kaiming out.

Li Kaiming seized this opportunity, and at the moment when he was about to make contact with Hayes, his shoulder suddenly lowered again, and the whole person was like a blade, straight into the basket from Hayes's side.

With his huge pace, Hayes didn't pay attention, and in the blink of an eye, he was behind Li Kaiming.

At this point, even if Olajuwon came, he couldn't keep up with Li Kaiming, and there was only one Scola under the basket, who moved his feet, watching Li Kaiming while preventing the chicken from being stolen by Bracky.

Scola's hesitation made him successfully become Li Kaiming's background board, which is only one step away from the latter to dunk directly, Scola obviously didn't expect Li Kaiming's steps to be so big, and when he reacted, it was too late, so he had to jump on the spot with his hands held high, while praying in his heart that he would not be dunked.

God did not fulfill Scola's wish, and after flying in the air for a while, Li Kaiming pressed the ball into the basket with an arm that was half an arm beyond the basket and directly faced Scola's face!

The entire mcI Center immediately turned into a sea of celebration, and all the fans stood up almost at the same time, and the fans close to the stadium could see it more clearly, and they shouted "it!" ”

The commentator at the scene may have been accustomed to Li Kaiming's performance, and he smiled and said to the guest next to him, "As long as there is this guy's game, there must be a place for him in the top ten balls of the day, what did the Wizards choose to come back?" ”

"Brother, I'm looking forward to his performance in the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest now, and if I were Stern, I would definitely invite him to the Slam Dunk Contest." The black brother next to him shook his head and said.

The narrator nodded, and then remembered one more thing, "Maybe it's not just the dunk contest, have you forgotten?" This guy's three-point shooting is also very good, maybe we can see him in the dunk contest and the three-point contest. ”

The first quarter ended quickly, and Li Kaiming was substituted in the 10th minute, and Sanders has now gradually figured out how to use Li Kaiming.

When the team needs to score, they will take the latter up, and after a while when the team is ahead, Li Kaiming can come down and rest.

Li Kaiming played 10 minutes in the first quarter, 4-of-5 and 1-of-1 three-pointers, scoring 9 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.

After seeing Li Kaiming's data in the first quarter, the commentator of the mcI center smiled and said to the black guest next to him, "This guy really does what he says, in the last post-game interview, he said that 30 points is very simple, and 8 points per quarter is enough, then most people are saying that he is pretending, but he scored 9 points in the first quarter today." ”

The black guest also sighed, "To be reasonable, except for Jordan, I really haven't seen anyone score so easily." ”

"Jordan also said that averaging 30 per game is very simple, and four goals in one quarter are enough."

……

In the first half of the second quarter, Sanders still let Arenas take the bench, and Sanders has no hope for Arenas at all now, and he doesn't want to see Arenas on the court if it weren't for the management's say to let the latter play.

The management also considered letting Arenas play, after all, only by playing data can there be trade value, and according to the level of Arenas in the last game, with an average salary of 18 million contract, I am afraid no one dares to ask for it.

And Arenas was also very cooperative with the data during the play, but I didn't expect Arenas to think about it with the management, but the former wanted to brush the data to compete for the team boss, and the latter wanted to brush the data to find the receiver.

When it came to 6 minutes in the second quarter, it was no surprise that under the leadership of Arenas, the Rockets once again approached the point difference, and Sanders found out that leaving Arenas in the team was to train Li Kaiming with weights.

So he took the opportunity to change Li Kaiming back again and played the remaining 6 minutes.

At halftime, the Wizards led the Rockets by 11 points, 69-58.

Li Kaiming played 16 minutes in the half, 7 of 11, 2 of 5 three-pointers, and got 19 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists.

Hinrich didn't have many individual offensive scenes tonight, only scored 2 points in the half, but got 6 assists, basically all for Li Kaiming.

Bracy had four points and eight rebounds in the half, and Nick Young had six points.

Sun Yue still didn't get a chance to play in the first half, Yi Jianlian and Arenas played together, basically running back to practice physical strength, and only hit 1 of 2 shots in the half, getting 2 points and 2 rebounds.
