The end of the winning streak has sobered up the players and coaches of the Wizards, especially Sanders, who was still imagining before the game that he could lead the team to the playoffs this season, or even the top of the division, and win the best coach, but the fact immediately poured cold water on his head.

In NbA, nothing is certain, and no team is called a soft persimmon!

So from a certain point of view, the end of the winning streak is not a bad thing, after the Wizards' undefeated golden body is destroyed, the whole team will be more down-to-earth, instead of being like a nouveau riche who got rich overnight, winning a few games in a row and holding a shelf, unable to let go of the mentality.

The loss just made the players and coaches realize.

On the Internet, the Wizards' upset loss to the Bobcats is mixed, but the vast majority of fans believe that the Wizards took advantage of the momentum at the beginning of the season to win 6 games in a row.

The team's next opponent is the Chicago Bulls, who are tough enough to act as a whetstone this time.

Li Kaiming didn't have time to go online to see what the fans said about him, because after the game, everyone on the Wizards rushed to the airport non-stop and flew to Chicago on the team's special plane, and it was already one o'clock in the middle of the night when he arrived in Chicago.

Nov. 13 afternoon, United Center, home of the Chicago Bulls, Amerika, Illinois.

The Wizards have been here in the preseason, so Li Kaiming is more familiar with the United Center, and when he came to the United Center by team bus, through the window, Li Kaiming could vaguely see the statue of Jordan standing at the entrance of the arena, and many fans were standing under the statue, taking photos with the front camera of their mobile phones with the statue.

The last time he came, Li Kaiming still remembered that Arenas sat next to him, looking at the statue of Jordan with envy and introducing himself, now that time has passed, his relationship with Arenas has completely broken down, the latter is currently sitting in the last row of the bus, far away from him, and he did not look out the window, but wore an eye patch on his head, covered his eyes and rested with his head up, I don't know if he was sleeping.

After thinking about it for a while, he stopped thinking about it, and it was Arenas's own choice to get to the point where he is now, all he can do is to do his best in the game, and leave the rest to fate to arrange.

Today's game is a little later than the previous one, it is 8 o'clock in the evening, and the Wizards arrived at the United Center relatively early, because of the loss in the last game, Sandest deliberately arranged for the team to come early, just to allow the players to find their form early.

The Bulls' Boozer still hasn't been cleared to play before the game, and it looks like he's going to miss at least half a season.

Even without Boozer, the Bulls are not easy to mess with, and no one in the Wizards, from coaches to players, thinks that the game is stable if they win the Bulls in the preseason.

The preseason can be won, and the Bulls replaced the bench and water cooler players early after finding that the score was opened, and did not let the starters play for too long, but on the Wizards' side, Li Kaiming's playing time was not much different compared with the regular season.

The preseason is all about training, and everyone knows that the Bulls didn't really show their strength in the preseason.

In today's pre-game interview session, a bearded white reporter asked Li Kaiming a question, "Li, in the last game, you lost to the Charlotte Bobcats in the 12th place in the East at home, and many ball critics and data experts think that your momentum has been broken. ”

Li Kaiming shrugged his shoulders and said, "What others think is someone else's business, and I don't know how to mind control it, so I can make others change their opinion of me." ”

"If you win this game, you can change the minds of these people." The bearded reporter replied.

Li Kaiming sneered, "Come on, man, before this, I averaged 36 points per game, only in the last game I scored less than 30, what is the result?" These guys used a poor game to completely negate my previous good performance. I still have something to say, but I didn't play to change some people's perception of me, there are so many species in this world, I don't need everyone to like me! ”

Coach Bearded smiled and asked, "Why didn't you answer my question because you didn't feel confident in this game?" ”

"Of course I'm confident, but the game didn't start, why should I swear that whoever loses and who wins this game, those guys on the other side are not vegetarians, I can disrespect anyone on the court, but off the field, I think I still have to talk a little brainy, I really don't need everyone to like me, but I don't need everyone to hate me, especially these guys don't look up and don't look down, what good is it for them to offend me if they don't check the gate? Just because I want to take advantage of my tongue? ”

When Li Kaiming said these words, he spoke very quickly, and he finished it in one breath, and the reporter who asked the question was so stunned by him that he couldn't speak, and wanted to continue asking, but Li Kaiming directly answered another reporter's question.

The bearded reporter was a little angry in his heart, and he was about to make up some bad things about Li Kaiming when he went back to write the manuscript.

After the pre-match interview, Li Kaiming returned to the stadium, where players from both sides had already started the pre-game warm-up session, and when passing by the players' tunnel, Li Kaiming signed the names of several children as usual, which made many fans feel good about him.

There are a lot of stars who don't take fans seriously after they become famous, and I don't know if signing a group photo will make him lose a piece of meat.

Of course, there are still a few such stars, 90% of NbA players know in their hearts that fans are their food and clothing, and only by pleasing fans can they live comfortably, plus the NbA official attitude towards fans is also relatively good, and they organize stars to participate in community activities at every turn to shorten the distance between stars and fans.

After signing his name, Li Kaiming was about to return to the Wizards' half, but he didn't expect to meet the old senior Derrick Rose who came over as soon as he turned his head.

Rose obviously came to look for him, he stared at Li Kaiming with a pair of bright eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, "Okay, boy, there are so many fans now, even the Bulls have your fans at home!" ”

While speaking, the fans next to Li Kaiming saw the stars of their home team coming over, and they squeezed over one after another, and handed the various signature carriers in their hands to Rose, and the number of people was more than double that of Li Kaiming's previous meeting.

Li Kaiming stood next to him, watching Rose sign the fans, and then joked with a smile, "My popularity is still a lot worse than that of your senior, you have to continue to work hard!" ”

Ross felt very comfortable in his heart when he heard Li Kaiming's modest words, but he said, "If only you could be as low-key as you are in reality!" Do you have time after tonight's game to come to Chicago and have a meal together? ”

Li Kaiming smiled and nodded in response, "The next game will be three days away, no problem." ”

The two discussed a phone call after the game, and then each returned to their own half to start warming up.

This game is a live broadcast game of the whole Amerika, because Chicago is a city after all, and it is the parent team of Jordan, the god of basketball, so the basketball atmosphere in Chicago is very good, and the fans here also have a high degree of support for the Bulls, basically the attendance rate of each game can exceed 80%, in addition, the Bulls also give away tickets to the families of shooting victims at every turn, and with the number of Chicago's top three shooting crimes in the United States, forming a perfect closed loop.

The game has not yet started, and the attention to this game on the Internet has increased a lot, because many basketball analysts have said that this game will reflect the true strength of the Wizards.

In fact, it is very normal for these analysts to think like this, and there are some teams at every turn, who are in full form at the beginning of the season, and no matter who is on the other side, they can gnaw a piece of meat, giving fans the illusion of the rise of the team, but some teams with strong lineups may not have good records.

But as the season progresses, the teams that have come up in the front have gradually disappeared from the top of the standings, and the teams with good lineups have gradually emerged, and by the end of the season, they can always be found at the end of the standings.

said that the rise of the team was good, but I didn't expect it to be a reverse rise, and it was indomitable on the road to competing for the champion.

So the vast majority of fans want to see if the current Washington Wizards can still show the state they were in before when they met a real strong team after being interrupted by the Bobcats.

Therefore, in the eyes of most fans, this game has become a game to determine whether the Wizards have gotten rid of the bad team name.

Click on any online forum, and you can find a large number of fans discussing this game, which has the gold content of the Wizards' previous winning streak.

"If you want me to say, I saw it in the last game, the reason why the Wizards can play so well is because of Li Kaiming's previous super-level performance, in the last game, Li Kaiming's level fell, and the team lost immediately, such a team that completely relies on the performance of a player has no system that can guarantee stable wins, so fundamentally speaking, the Wizards are a bad team, but they were lucky to choose Li Kaiming this season......"

"Basically agree with you, but there is one thing I want to point out, you said that Li Kaiming's last game was not good, is there such a possibility, the performance in the last game is his normal level, the previous 6 games are the same as you said, his super level of play made the Wizards play a record that did not belong to them......"

"No matter what you say, the current Li Kaiming is the league's leading scorer, and you can't deny it."

"Brother, isn't it a little early to open champagne to celebrate the scoring champion in 6 games......"

Similar discussions can be seen on every basketball-related website, so the game has even started before it has already attracted a lot of attention on Emelica!
