Chapter 272: Two consecutive wins
After Nick Young's catch-and-shoot three-pointer, the score was 106-102.
Next to the Hawks' bench, Larry Deru's face was a little ugly, and by the beginning of the last five minutes, it was right that the defensive intensity on his side had increased, but the offensive firepower on the opposite side seemed to have increased by a level...
The Hawks served to the frontcourt, Joe Johnson and Josh Smith blocked and split the two, and Josh Smith received the ball after cutting inside and threw it at Li Kaiming under the basket.
106 to 104!
The Wizards served, Li Kaiming and Hinrich turned the ball, Li Kaiming blocked and cut inside to the free throw line, and Hinrich hit the ball through the gap between Horford and Mike Bibby.
As soon as the Eagles saw Li Kaiming arrive in this position, the overall defensive formation suddenly shrank inward.
Larry Drew still wants to defend Li Kaiming's basket and three-point as much as possible, and put some mid-range shots.
However, after receiving the ball at the free throw line, Li Kaiming did not hesitate to pull up the jump shot.
2 points hit!
108 to 104!
The Hawks attacked, and the ball went to Joe Johnson, who singled Nick Young, turned and hit a pullup jumper that was deflected wide by Nick Young's all-out defense.
Li Kaiming jammed Horford's position, and Lewis next to him did his best to grab the rebound in front of Marvin Williams.
There are still two and a half minutes to go.
After the Wizards arrived in the frontcourt, they directly handed the ball to Li Kaiming, and the Hawks began to wrap up, Li Kaiming did not panic, but while dodging the outstretched hands of the Hawks players, he observed the situation, and then directly passed the ball to Nick Young in the bottom corner of the opposite side.
The Eagles' bag is obviously strictly trained, although the person who let go is Nick Young, who is more skilled in three points, but the latter is in the farthest position from Li Kaiming, and the pass is the most difficult, let alone passing to Nick Young, whether the average player can find where Nick Young is in just one or two seconds is a question.
When Li Kaiming successfully threw the ball into Nick Young's hands like a cannonball, Larry Deru, who was next to the Hawks bench, knew that tonight's game was in danger......
Nick Young got up and down after receiving the ball, and scored 3 points, 111-104!
The Wizards extended the margin to seven points with two minutes left in the game!
Larry Drew immediately called a timeout and didn't take the players off the pitch to calm down, I'm afraid they would keep this state until the end, thinking they were working very hard, but before they knew it, they would lose.
Of course, Larry Deru's timeout is more about making adjustments to defend Li Kaiming, and at present, the strategy of dealing with the average ball carrier to empty the farthest end to cover the clamp has no effect on Li Kaiming.
Why does this guy still have such a good view of the court?
Larry Drew looked at Li Kaiming's eyes with fire, and he even burst into the latter as if he was personally carrying a gun.
This guy has caused him just too much trouble!
After the timeout, the Hawks players returned to the court, and after a short timeout, Larry Drew didn't come up with any effective ways to limit Lee, so he simply let Marvin Williams defend alone.
I still don't believe it, you can still score every goal?
Larry Drew's eyes were straight on the field.
But then Li Kaiming showed him what it means to be eighteen kinds of martial arts, whether it is a breakthrough under the basket or a back, an outside without the ball or a catch, he can complete the finish.
Although Joe Johnson also showed the style of contemporary Jordan, compared with Li Kaiming, who was open, he immediately looked a little bleak.
At the end of the game, the Wizards won 116-110 on the road against the Atlanta Hawks to make it their second straight victory.
Li Kaiming played 40 minutes, 14 of 21, including 3 of 5 three-pointers and 5 of 6 free throws, scoring 36 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists, still firmly grasping the position of scoring champion.
The rest of the Wizards also performed well, with Nick Young being the second-highest scorer on the team, finishing with 23 points, four rebounds and two assists on 8-of-17 shooting.
Kok Sinrich's playing time basically coincided with Li Kaiming, shooting 6-of-12 from the field, scoring 14 points, 2 rebounds and 8 assists.
Bracy basically didn't play much in the second half tonight, finishing with just 11 points and eight rebounds, and almost completed a budget double-double.
Rashad Lewis had a two-game streak as he finished with 18 points, three rebounds and one assist on 4-of-6 three-pointers tonight.
Hawks Joe Johnson had 28 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists, and if it weren't for Li Kaiming, he would have continued the legend of the Hawks at critical moments.
Larry Drew didn't win the revenge battle he said before the game, but he didn't feel ashamed or anything.
Appropriate ruthless words before the game are part of competitive sports, because this can enhance their confidence, otherwise they will not play the game, and they will be psychologically inferior to the opposite side, so even if there is an advantage in the lineup, I am afraid that they will not be able to play.
After the game, Li Kaiming shook hands with the Eagles players as usual.
Joe Johnson held his hand for a long time tonight, he hasn't been so enthusiastic since the last fight, and it seems that Li Kaiming's performances against the Hawks twice have made the latter a little admired.
Of course, as the "child king" in the mouth of the media, the reserved program of signing and giving gifts to the children after the game is naturally indispensable, Li Kaiming will take off his original sneakers when he is in a good mood and give them to young fans.
The team won two consecutive victories and was on the right track again, and Li Kaiming's mood tonight was naturally very good, so he gave the original "Kaiming Generation" wizard color scheme on his feet to a blonde and blue-eyed beautiful little sister.
Looking at the little girl holding a pair of two "Kaiming Generation" battleships larger than her torso, Li Kaiming couldn't help laughing, and then walked back to the players' tunnel with high-fives with the fans on the sidelines.
Now that there are more and more fans who know him offline, Li Kaiming should establish a kind and friendly image in front of the fans, although the Emerica people like to play more violent stars, but this does not mean that they like to be treated violently by stars.
Therefore, Li Kaiming's violent on the court and modest and kind sex appeal off the court made many fans feel that this guy is very suitable for him as an idol.
The post-match interviews returned to their usual calm, with reporters asking innocuous questions, "You've won two in a row after three straight defeats, what have you changed?" ”
Sanders only replied with a "focus", while Li Kaiming said in more detail, "After we have rested and summarized, we have regained our energy, we are united, and everyone is doing their part to win." ”
The cbS reporter asked a sensitive question, "You will play the Orlando Magic at home on November 27th, which is the first time he will meet the mcI center since the Arenas trade, do you have any special motivation for this game?" ”
Li Kaiming smiled, "To be honest, no, even if there is, it's just about the battle for second place in the East, I've looked at the record standings, and after tonight's game, we and Orlando have a record of 10 wins and 4 losses, and that game will determine who can finally occupy the second place in the East!" ”
"Don't you have any other thoughts about Arenas' return?" The cbS reporters still didn't give up, desperately trying to make waves from the calm atmosphere after tonight's game.
"The deal is done, now Gilbert is a player for the Orlando Magic, if you want to know what he thinks about this game, I suggest you go and ask him on the night of the 27th, as for our thoughts, I have already answered the previous question once, I don't want to repeat it a second time!" Li Kaiming's tone was a little serious.
Seeing that Li Kaiming said it so deadly, the other reporters at the scene originally wanted to see if there was any big news tonight, but now it is gone, so they dispersed one after another.
Although his agent Monica always told him to have a good relationship with NbA reporters, Li Kaiming still hated this kind of reporter who had nothing to do.
As a reporter, your task is to report truthfully, not to eat traffic after provoking conflicts, this kind of behavior is very cheap in Li Kaiming's opinion, so he said in a more impulsive tone.
Although Li Kaiming is generally relatively calm, he can still show some stunned potential from time to time, such as now, and humiliating Naik at the signing scene before.
Both of these things seem to be unnecessary, as long as Li Kaiming holds back and doesn't talk nonsense, or directly rejects Naik instead of choosing to humiliate him in person, his popularity may be much better.
But Li Kaiming just can't swallow this breath, why is Lao Tzu used to you?
Therefore, Li Kaiming doesn't care about this, he is now less than 20 years old, and he is in the stage of being young and vigorous, in the words of the protagonist of a well-known film and television drama in China, "Can young people still be called young people if they are not vigorous?" ”
So his agent Monica always said that Li Kaiming was not smart enough in some things, but Li Kaiming knew that if he did what Monica said, it might seem more appropriate, but that would go against his heart.
Li Kaiming considers himself a relatively liberal person, and he hates certain things that are worldly, but since the system has been in place, his goal is to become the undisputed all-time number one in basketball
So in his opinion, if the god of basketball is also as deep in the world as ordinary people, then this god of basketball should not be!
God is called God because He has done things that others cannot.
And after tonight's postgame interviews, the Wizards players flew back to Washington overnight.
It was possible to rest for a night in Atalanta and then go back, but the players wanted to go home as soon as possible, so they simply went back that night.
