Li Kaiming's desperate three-point shot hit Howard on the spot, Li Kaiming's ball went in for several seconds, and the Magic team even sent the ball to Arenas' hand, Howard was still standing outside the three-point line with his arms raised, and the whole person was looking at the direction of the basket like a sculpture......

It wasn't until he was poked by a passing Carter that Howard recovered from that state, and then ran to the front court step by step with his head down.

Looking at Howard's dejected appearance, the fans at the scene felt that Howard didn't seem to be as passionate as he was at the beginning of the game.

The head coach of the Magic team, Stan Van Gundy, as the person who knows Howard best, can naturally see that Howard did not defend the ball, and his confidence was greatly damaged.

If Howard is in such a state for the rest of the game, it's hard to say how out tonight will be......

The Magic team attacked, Arenas went to the front court and played with Howard to block and dismantle, he originally planned to wait for the latter to cut to the inside line and make a high pass, but he didn't expect Howard to stand on the outside line like a stake after blocking and dismantling directly.

Arenas is speechless, not buddy, you don't have a basket, you have no vision, what are you doing outside? Watching a play?

Seeing that Howard was unreliable this round, Arenas gritted his teeth and chose to break through again, and in the last round, he used a block to face Li Kaiming, and then successfully scored.

But Li Kaiming is not a fool, he knows that he can't prevent Arenas' breakthrough, so he calls his teammates to help defend.

Arenas broke through to the inside and found Lewis in the middle, and immediately passed the ball to Lewis's opponent, Ryan Anderson, who received the ball and threw it, but unfortunately the big open opportunity was not scored.

Howard realized it later, and rushed to the basket belatedly, and Li Kaiming took the opportunity to directly take the backcourt rebound and hand it to Hinrich.

After the Wizards arrived in the frontcourt, Hinrich commanded his teammates to run according to the tactics, and the two people in the bottom corner, Nick Young and Lewis, crossed the position, and Li Kaiming was in the center to help his teammates block the defenders.

After helping Lewis block a defender, Li Kaiming quickly mentioned the upper line to cover Hinrich, who got rid of Arenas's entanglement and hit the ball to the ground for Li Kaiming in the next shun.

Both Howard and Arenas began to wrap up Lee, who saw an opportunity to pass the ball to Lewis on the perimeter.

Lewis shook a feint to attract Vince Carter to come over to make up for it, and then passed the ball to Nick Young, who scored two points directly from mid-range!

54 to 47!

The Magic served to Arenas, who dribbled to the frontcourt, Carter began to use the cover run without the ball, Arenas rushed into the Wizards' interior through the cover like a loach, and then messed up in the Wizards' formation, and the Wizards' defense was successfully disrupted by him.

The opportunity came to Vince Carter, who ran to the bottom corner, and he caught the ball and threw it firmly to win the second three-pointer of the game!

54 to 50!

With one and a half minutes left in the second quarter, the Wizards attacked, and Hinrich played almost the entire first half, so after coming to the frontcourt, he handed the ball directly to Li Kaiming, ready to take a breath next to him.

Li Kaiming successfully took over from Hinrich and became the brain of the team in this round, he motioned for others to pull away and seemed to be going to single Howard, and then suddenly passed the ball to Hinrich, and at the same time he hit the penalty area like a lightning bolt.

Li Kaiming successfully broke through to the penalty area, he pointed to the sky with his right hand while running towards the basket, and the outside Hinrich was full of tacit understanding with him, and threw the ball directly to the basket.

Li Kaiming kicked the ground with both feet one step away from the basket, jumped with his arms in the swing, grabbed the basketball with both hands at the highest point, and under the drive of inertia, his body had become sideways to the basket at this time, but Li Kaiming did not panic at all, and after holding the ball in the air counterclockwise with both hands and a complete arc, his body also became completely away from the basket.

The end of the arc is exactly the position of the basket, Li Kaiming buckled his two wrists in the direction of the basket, stuffed the ball into the basket and grabbed the basket with both hands, and the whole person hung on it like a dexterous golden monkey.

56 to 50.

Of course, Li Kaiming's sense of power is still very sufficient, so the buckle is also very crisp, and the fans can only hear a crisp bang!

On the commentary seat, Hayward and Rose raised their hands and began to celebrate, "A beautiful back dunk, and Li Kaiming also added a windmill link to the action, to tell the truth, this ball is a full score in the slam dunk contest whether it is strength, fluency or ornamentation!" ”

"Li Kaiming's three-point whistle has not been two rounds in the past, and he scored a wonderful dunk, this guy is simply the top ten ball harvester, every time there is a Wizards game, he will be in the top ten balls the next day!" Ross sighed.

The fans at the scene also stood up and cheered for Li Kaiming's wonderful dunk, Li Kaiming's popularity after entering the league was like a rocket, on the one hand, because he was the champion show and played crazy data, so that the exposure was not on the same level as other rookies, on the other hand, it was the style of play, whether it was a violent dunk or a chic and elegant jump shot, he was good at it, and the ornamentation of the offensive end was an important factor in his popularity.

The Magic attacked, Arenas dribbled to the frontcourt and blocked with Howard, attracting the Wizards' bag to distribute the ball to the latter.

After Howard got the ball, the ball protector pushed away Li Kaiming, and then scored on the spot.

56 to 52!

The goal gave Howard a little bit of confidence, but the passionate yelling that followed the previous goal had faded from his celebrations, and he just silently bowed his head to his backcourt and high-fived Arenas.

The Wizards served to the frontcourt, and there were less than 40 seconds left before the end of the game, in which case Hinrich chose to dribble to the frontcourt by himself, using the block to shoot directly from the middle distance, and the rebound was grabbed by Howard.

This ball seems to be played in a bit of a hurry, but in fact, there is no problem, there are still more than 30 seconds before the end of the game, if the Wizards want to dribble on the outside as usual and there are 10 seconds left in the offensive time, then the Magic team will definitely consume all the remaining time, even if it can't be consumed, I am afraid there will be less than 5 seconds left.

It is still very difficult to complete a complete attack with a 5-second serve from the baseline, so this offense is equivalent to winning an offensive opportunity for the Wizards.

After grabbing the rebound, the Magic unsurprisingly began to consume time on the outside, and Arenas dribbled at the halfway point and waited for the offensive time to start with nine seconds left.

Howard came out to block and dismantle as usual, Li Kaiming followed, Arenas is still a great threat on the outside, and this guy's favorite thing to do is to throw this kind of unexpected three-pointer, and he has to guard against it!

Arenas saw that Li Kaiming's defense was relatively outside, so he hesitated on the outside, and then suddenly entered the interior line and made a layup against Lewis, who was making up for the defense.

Lewis interfered just right this time, and actually helped Li Kaiming to defend the ball, Li Kaiming returned to the basket to protect the rebound, and then directly dribbled to the front court to play the last attack of the first half.

On the commentary bench, Hayward saw Li Kaiming dribbling by himself at the end, so he smiled and said to Rose next to him, "Li will definitely play his last attack this time, do you think he can score like the last whistle?" ”

"Dwight's defense is very tough, and with the experience of the last time, I'm afraid Lee won't be so easy to get a shot this time!" Although Rose is very supportive of Li Kaiming, he is not optimistic about the success rate of this offense, after all, Howard is a second consecutive dpoY.

The crowd at mcI stood up with six seconds left until the end of the first half!

Li Kaiming glanced up at the timer, facing Howard who was defending on the three-point line, he first took a slight step back, and then dribbled to accelerate the charge!

After the half-time battle, Howard at this time had completely let go of the contempt for Li Kaiming in his heart and began to correct his mentality and defense.

At this time, seeing Li Kaiming rushing over at full speed, Howard was also a little unable to find the way in his heart, because he didn't know how Li Kaiming would choose to end this attack.

Under everyone's gaze, Li Kaiming quickly rushed to a position one step away from Howard, just when everyone thought he would use his speed to break through to the inside, Li Kaiming suddenly braked suddenly, and then put the ball together with both hands and kicked on the floor!

The kinetic energy that was originally parallel to the ground was all converted into potential energy at the moment he stopped suddenly, and the energy was stored in Li Kaiming's muscles, and then it became kinetic energy again along the direction of his jump.

Howard didn't expect that Li Kaiming's acceleration was actually to shoot outside the three-point line, and when he reacted, he could only rely on his own reflexes to subconsciously reach out to affect Li Kaiming's shooting.

But Li Kaiming jumped too high in this ball, if he stood at the angle of the ball, his shot point had exceeded the position of the basket, so if this ball was judged from the spatial position, it should be called "basket" instead of "layup"!

Li Kaiming stabilized his body in the air, then ignored Howard's blindfolded defense, lightly flicked his wrist and shot, and scored three points again!

59 to 52!

"Oh, Karma! Even I didn't expect Lee to go straight out of the three-point line! Rose sighed helplessly in the commentary seat, as if he was the one who defended Li Kaiming.

The Magic team shot directly after serving from the baseline, and unexpectedly missed the shot.

At halftime, the Wizards extended the margin to seven points.

Li Kaiming played 15 minutes in the half, shooting 8 of 11, including 3 of 4 three-pointers and 5 of 5 free throws, scoring 24 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, and it looks like tonight is another mediocre 40+ game.

The rest of the Wizards were also very good, with Hinrich playing the longest start, playing almost the full half and finishing with eight points, one rebound and five assists.

Nick Young was 2 of 3 outside and got 9 points and 2 rebounds, Lewis gradually increased his playing time, and his data began to stabilize, with 7 points and 3 rebounds in the half, he was not good at grabbing rebounds, but when he and Li Kaiming were on the court at the same time, the rebounding protection of the Wizards was really a little outrageous, and he had no choice but to fight hard to protect the rebounds, and he also grabbed 3 at halftime.

Sun Yue also showed the results of training after getting the opportunity, after he reduced his ball holding, the mistakes were significantly less than at the beginning, and he only played half a quarter today, although he only made a three-point shot, but it was very efficient, and Sanders praised him for playing well when he got off the court.

Yi Jianlian also performed very well when he came on the bench, but during that period of time, McGee was basically attacking, and Yi Jianlian's role on the offensive end was mainly to open up space and defend.

Yi Jianlian, the starter of defending against opponents, may not be very good, but he still has no problem with the substitute.

Yi Jianlian scored 2 points and 4 rebounds at halftime, and he gradually began to adapt to this style of play as a role player.
