Chapter 264: Breaking the Impression Stream

No one at the scene could have imagined that the Wizards, who looked like they were rubbed on the ground by 76 in the first half, suddenly rose up after coming back in the third quarter, not to mention 35 points in a single quarter, and the 76ers only scored 25 points in the third quarter, and the Wizards used one quarter to close the 14-point difference to 4 points.

Standing next to the 76ers bench, Doug Collins now regrets that if he had called a timeout after the Wizards had played a 5-0 run in the third quarter, maybe things would have been different now.

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine to take in this world, so now Collins can only focus on the next fourth quarter, the score of the two sides is now 77-73, and who can win this game depends on the play in the fourth quarter.

"Remember, don't put three points in the bottom corner of the opposite side, if Li Kaiming breaks through, make a pinch attack on the upper line in advance, if the upper line misses, then hand him over to Hawes on the inside, and the bottom corner is not allowed to leak!" Collins drew a large circle in the bottom two corners of the tactical board and poked it a few times with a marker.

In the third quarter, they were directly overturned by the Wizards' sudden three-point wave, so it was absolutely impossible for Collins to give the Wizards an empty three-point chance in the fourth quarter, especially the bottom corner three-pointer.

Several of the Wizards' shooters, Nick Young, Hinrich and Lewis, are very good at corner threes, and corner threes are generally the two highest shooting percentages in the five outside directions, so Collins made this decision, and there is nothing wrong with it in theory.

With less than a minute to go before the crucial fourth quarter of the game, Russell Curtis, who was on the commentary bench, glanced at Sean Maxey next to him, and then asked, "Shaun, what do you think of the Wizards' adjustments in the third quarter, and the counterattack they played in the third quarter?" ”

Sean Maxey sighed, "Saunders' rotation really impressed me, he actually dared to directly take out a Rashad Lewis who didn't even play a few training games in the second half, and the latter came up and directly showed me dumbfounded!" ”

"Who isn't? I was also confused, Sanders' choice this time was too risky. Curtis interjected.

"But a risk is a risk, from a consequentialist point of view, Sanders won the bet, after Rashad Lewis came on the court, it played a very big role in the space pull of the Wizards, and the reason why the Wizards fell behind in the first half was that after Li Kaiming broke through, he encountered a bag and passed the ball out, and his outside teammates had no way to respond to 76 to let you go this kind of emptying." Maxi quickly explained.

Curtis nodded approvingly, "Yes, Rashad Lewis hit a three-point shot in the first round after he came on the court, and it seems that the three-point hand is contagious, after Rashad helped Li Kaiming open up the space, Nick Young and Hinrich, who struggled in the first half, have found their touch, and some of them have watched tonight's game!" ”

Maxi was about to speak again, when he suddenly found that the players from both sides of the game had already stood on the court, so he changed his words and explained, "The players from both sides are back on the court, let's take a look, who will win or lose tonight's game?" Can the Wizards continue their frantic performance in the third quarter? The 76ers can't respond at the fourth energy saving? ”

After Maxey's opening remarks in the fourth quarter of the game fell, the referee on the baseline had already given the ball to 76ers center Hawes, who served directly to John Wall, and the fourth quarter began!

Due to the start of the game in the third quarter and the brilliant performance of Lewis's lineup, Sanders still maintained this lineup at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

John Wall dribbled to the frontcourt, called power forward Brand out to cover, and then faced Li Kaiming's harassment on the line, and directly accelerated past the latter.

Blatch under the basket saw Wall enter the restricted area and immediately greeted him, but the latter hit the ball and passed the basketball from under Brackey's crotch to Hawes under the basket, Blatch turned around and went to defend again, thinking that this time when the basket was going to lose 2 points, a figure fell from the sky and slapped Hawes's layup directly on the rebound!

Bradge, who came to his senses, picked up the rebound and handed it to Hinrich.

The person who came back from the defense was naturally Li Kaiming, although he was not aware enough on the defensive end, and his lateral speed could not allow him to keep up with Wall's breakthrough, but the hat of a little Hawes was still very relaxed, especially the latter's movements were so slow, in his opinion, it was simply a slow-motion replay in the movie.

This ball is Hawes, and it is estimated that Li Kaiming will not be able to get his hat down.

And after Li Kaiming's block, the fans at mcI also broke out into a neat cheer!

Many fans were still immersed in the tsunami-like offense of the home team in the third quarter and did not slow down, but they didn't expect Li Kaiming to give the 76ers' center a spicy hot pot in the fourth quarter!

The atmosphere of the audience was once again mobilized by Li Kaiming's block.

Hinrich dribbled to the front court and called Blatch to come out to cover, not called Li Kaiming because Hoys is a 216 big center, compared to 206 Brand, Hinrich is more relaxed to play him in a misposition.

Hinrich successfully faced Hawes's defense by covering it, but the 76ers' outside did not give up the defense easily, and John Wall, who was the main defense of Hinrich, followed him all the time.

Bracchi had no range on the outside, so he had to follow him.

At the same time, the rest of the Wizards began to run off the ball on the outside, and after a simple off-ball cover between Li Kaiming and Lewis, Li Kaiming suddenly exploded with speed and hit the inside, while Lewis quickly played outside.

The 76ers' players had no choice but to change their defenses, because if they didn't change again, they would give the Wizards a vacant position!

Li Kaiming's explosiveness gave him another opportunity to attack easily, and Hinrich in the middle saw Li Kaiming run to the three-point line, passed the ball directly into a pocket, and gave the ball to Li Kaiming, who rushed into the three-point line.

The latter took three steps directly after receiving the ball, which is too much distance.

At this time, Hawes reacted to the ball to Li Kaiming's hand, and at the same time, Iguodala, who switched defenses with Brand, also chased Li Kaiming's side, while using his torso to confront Li Kaiming, and at the same time stretched out his muscular arm to cut the ball in Li Kaiming's hand.

Iguodala is a pretty good person in the small forward position, probably second only to James and Cishiping, and Iguodala is best at cutting the ball on the defensive end, always cutting fast, accurate and ruthless.

Originally, Iguodala thought that this would also be the first time he had successfully defended in many years, but when he slapped the ball in Li Kaiming's hand, his face froze on the spot!

Because the basketball in Li Kaiming's hand didn't move at all!

How can it be? Iguodala's eyes widened with a look of disbelief in his eyes, and even if James came, Iguodala was confident that he would make the ball shake a little.

What a hell!

And just when Iguodala was still surprised by the stability and strength of Li Kaiming's ball protection, a huge force was transmitted along the position where his torso and Li Kaiming were in contact, and before Iguodala could react, he was directly arched by Li Kaiming's ball protector for a distance.

In the process of breaking through, the slightest loss of position on the defender can make the result of this attack completely different, let alone at such a critical juncture?

Getting rid of Iguodala's entanglement, Li Kaiming's speed completely exploded, and he directly took the last step of a three-step layup, and then pulled the bow with one hand, and directly scored the first point of the Wizards in the fourth quarter with a tomahawk split!

75 to 77!

When Li Kaiming dunked, 76ers center Hawes arrived at the scene, he watched the shaking of the basket above his head, and swallowed without a trace.

"Damn, if I was under the basket just now, I'm afraid I would have to be blocked by this guy again!" Hawes rejoiced in his heart.

The 76ers served and attacked, after John Wall took the ball to the front court, he broke through again with the help of the cover of the inside, and passed the ball to Iguodala who cut into the inside after attracting the bag, Lewis was not good at defense, and now that he is getting older, he has a knee injury, and the defense is even worse and messy, and he can't keep up with Iguodala's air cut.

Inside, Bracy was pulled out by Hawes's pick-and-roll, and Iguodala scored a rebound before Li Kaiming could make up for it.

75 to 79!

Hinrich received a pass from Blatch and dribbled to the frontcourt, and the blocking tactics were directly cracked by the 76ers' center who came out and delayed, so he had to hand the ball to Li Kaiming, who faced Brand with a large change of direction in front of the body and shook out the space and then pulled it up and threw it directly.

In the third quarter, his teammates felt very good, so Li Kaiming was suppressing his desire to shoot and focused on creating opportunities for his teammates, and now his teammates don't know how to play, so naturally it is time for him to stand up.

Since the start of the regular season, the 76ers have played two games with the Wizards, and Brand's main defense Li Kaiming has defense experience, of course, this experience does not mean that knowing how to target Li Kaiming can make him less efficient, but knowing when the latter will shoot and whether the shot will go in.

As a veteran defender who was bukkake by Li Kaiming, Brand knew as soon as he saw Li Kaiming's posture that this goal could be scored without leaving ten.

So after he was shaken away by Li Kaiming, he reflexively pounced, and then stretched out his arm to cover Li Kaiming's face, and directly closed his eyes and waited for the result.

After a brief hiatus, a crisp sound of swiping reached Brand's ears.

Brand opened his eyes and looked back, a bitter smile appeared on his face, and sure enough, this guy entered again!

78 to 79! The Wizards closed the margin to a point, and it could be said that after a quarter and a half, the two sides were back on the same starting line.

After seeing this scene, Sean Maxey in the commentary seat smiled and said, "It's really rare that Lee, a two-meter-one center-sized player, can dribble and break through outside the three-point line by himself like a guard or a forward, and even step back to make a jumper!" ”

"It's not just rare, his skill is almost unique in the league in my opinion, and he doesn't throw around, his shooting percentage is very high." Curtis, who was next to him, added.

Sean Maxey sighed, "Maybe people's impression has changed because of him, everyone thought that the yellow race was not good at playing basketball, and even if someone could survive in NbA, it would only be possible to have a big center like Yao Ming, and the yellow race and ornamental sex and violence don't seem to be connected." ”

Curtis smiled and said, "Is there anyone in the league who is playing higher than Lee right now?" He was able to score a five-goal goal in every game, and I have a hunch that his highlights this season may be even better than 80% of NbA players' career highlights! ”
