Chapter 232: Diligent Answer
During the halftime, because the Wizards were the leading side and the Rockets Yao Ming retired from injury, Sanders basically did not make any major adjustments, and most of the time was to let the players rest.
Li Kaiming sat in front of his closet, took off his shoes, and let his feet touch the air well.
Although this "Kaiming generation" has been as breathable and comfortable as possible, it is still a bit worse than not wearing shoes directly, so every time at halftime, Li Kaiming likes to take off his shoes in the locker room and then let his feet relax.
Fortunately, he didn't have smelly feet, otherwise the other teammates would probably have protested.
What surprised Li Kaiming was that while the others were resting, Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian sneaked out of the locker room, he was curious, said hello to the coach, and followed.
After going out, I found out that Sun Yue actually took Yi Jianlian to the court to practice shooting, at this time, the on-site interaction was over, and there was enough space for the players to shoot the basketball.
He had also heard Yi Jianlian say before that Sun Yue was the kind of talented guy among Chinese players, so he was arrogant since he was a child, and his personality was also arrogant.
His character is a double-edged sword, the good thing is that Sun Yue's character will make him a kind of person who dares to let go of his hands and feet, to put it bluntly, he is a natural Mr. Big Scene, and he will not be weak after encountering any critical moments.
However, this kind of character also has shortcomings, that is, his personality is more perverse, which is reflected in Sun Yue, that is, he has a little thorny attribute when he is in China, and he plays very well off the court.
In September last year, Sun Yue was also exposed by the domestic paparazzi media about the "car shock" incident, he was photographed by the paparazzi with his model girlfriend, driving to carry out the piston movement of mammals with the goal of reproduction, which was a relatively big blow to his reputation in China.
So Sun Yue came to the NbA Summer League, on the one hand, he really wanted to chase his dream, after all, he was not young, and he would enter the peak period in a few years, and it was the right way to seize the time to improve, and on the other hand, he ran to Emelica to avoid the limelight and hide from the domestic paparazzi.
Looking at it now, after Sun Yue arrived at Amelica, I don't know if he was inspired by Li Kaiming, and the whole person seemed to be a different person, training crazy.
But as long as you can keep training, it's always a good thing.
Seeing that Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian were practicing hard, Li Kaiming's heart also felt itchy, so he immediately followed, directly picked up the basketball on the ground and began to throw it into the basket!
Suddenly, an extra ball came out and fell into the basket with a bang, which startled Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian, who were concentrating on training, and the two of them looked back and found that it was Li Kaiming, and after nodding with a smile, they started training separately.
The three yellow-skinned players came to the pitch to train at half-time and quickly became a fixture at the mcI Centre.
The fans who came back from going to the toilet immediately discovered these three particularly hardworking people, so they began to discuss.
"Hey, Li Kaiming, this guy really works hard, so good that he doesn't let go of the halftime break?"
"So, people's success makes sense, why can he play so well, now I know the reason......"
"Yes, no one can succeed casually......"
"In addition to Li Kaiming, there is also a substitute Huaguo player Yi Jianlian, who is the other one? I feel like I've seen it, but I can't remember the name. ”
"That is also a player from Huaguo, his name is Sun Yue."
"I remember him, a player who has worked so hard, he will definitely shine in the future......"
In the intense training of Li Kaiming's trio, the halftime time passed quickly, and the second half of the game began.
The Rockets began their roster rotation in the third quarter, and the point guard position was placed on Kyle Lowry, nicknamed "Little Steel Cannon", who was selected with the 34th pick in 2006 and averaged 9 points and 4.5 assists per game last season, making him a very good bench player.
The backup point guard is Coaster Lee, who was the 22nd pick in the first round in 2008, and this guy averaged 12.5 points per game last season, which is the kind of scoring ability among the bench players.
Substitute power forward Jordan Hill, who traveled to multiple teams last season, averaged 5 points and 4 rebounds per game, and backup center Brad Miller, who averaged 8 points and 5 rebounds per game.
If you just look at the data, the Rockets' bench lineup is also considered medium in the entire league, and basically any one of them can play in the rotation of the Wizards.
Because Li Kaiming only played half a quarter in the second quarter, Sanders took the long-lost five-out lineup at the beginning of the third quarter, but this time the five-out lineup was slightly changed, the scoring guard took Sun Yue, and the small forward was replaced by Trevo Booker.
In the third quarter, it was still the Rockets who took the lead in serving, and the little steel cannon Lowry dribbled to the frontcourt, as for why Lowry got such a nickname, just look at his figure, this guy is 183 tall but weighs nearly 90kg, especially his pair of thick thighs and very warped hip muscles, all of which show Lowry's ability to fight.
Although Sinrich is taller than him, but in the face of Lowry, who is shorter and thicker than him, it will not be easy to defend for a while, Lowry faced Sinrich, reached out to cover and made a feint, Xinrich was about to squeeze the cover, but he didn't expect Lowry to change direction directly to start, and hit the former by surprise.
Lowry is a player who is better at breaking through to the deepest part of the basket for layups or fouls than shooting directly from wide positions in the middle range.
At this time, the center of the Wizards team was Li Kaiming, so naturally he couldn't let him get his wish, and immediately took two steps up, of course, Brad Miller, who was waiting to eat cake under the basket, couldn't be completely let go, and Lowry's pass was still good.
Li Kaiming's delay allowed Hinrich to catch up with Lowry again, who saw that there was no chance, and was ready to hit the ball directly from Li Kaiming's crotch to the basket Miller, but Li Kaiming inadvertently subconsciously flicked his hand and actually broke the ball!
After getting the ball, Li Kaiming gave Xin Liqi, and he took the lead to start a fast attack, and the Rockets naturally couldn't give him this opportunity, and the three of them blocked Li Kaiming's inevitable path and forced the latter to stop.
At this time, other Wizards players also arrived in the frontcourt, five people pulled away, Hinrich held the ball, and the opposite center Miller was also a big center with a height of 216, Hinrich and Li Kaiming's blocking and dismantling immediately put Miller in a dilemma, and in the end the Rockets still chose to block the inside line, after all, the closer to the basket, the higher the shooting rate.
Hinrich gave the ball to the outside Li Kaiming, who received the ball and shot, and the three-pointer scored!
72 to 58!
The difference has come to 14 points!
The Rockets were unhurried, Lowry held the ball and the others ran off the ball, giving the opportunity to the mid-range Coaster Lee, who received the ball and scored two points to help the team stop the bleeding.
72 to 60.
As soon as the third quarter came up, Li Kaiming hit three points, so that the players on the Rockets bench did not dare to give another chance, so this time the Wizards' No. 1 and No. 5 positions were blocked, and after Miller came out and delayed, he immediately returned to the inside, Hinrich was covered by 216 Miller and couldn't see anyone else at all, and as for the misplaced Li Kaiming, he was blocked tightly.
Hinrich took two steps back and gave the ball to Booker at 45 degrees, Booker didn't shoot at the first time after receiving the ball, as a rookie, he was still too hesitant to play, the opportunity was fleeting, time was running out, this ball couldn't find a receiver, Booker directly closed his eyes and threw it to the bottom corner of the same side, where Sun Yue was standing!
Seeing that the time was almost up, Trevor Booker actually threw the pot into Sun Yue's hands, whether it was the Chinese fans at the scene or the Chinese fans in front of the TV, they all began to scold!
"This Emerica devil is very bad! The time is almost up, you give the ball to Sun Yue, score a goal and get an assist, if you don't score, Sun Yue can't shoot, play a good hand! ”
At this time, there were still 3 seconds left in the time, and Li Kaiming, who was standing at the top of the arc, couldn't help but sweat for Sun Yue!
But Sun Yue himself didn't think so much about this ball, he made a feint to point up the defender, and then often took a step aside and shot three-point!
Swish!
The Wizards add 3 more points!
75 to 60!
