On Dec. 3, the Wizards host the Portland Trail Blazers in their second game of the month.

The Trail Blazers finished the regular season with a 50-32 record last season under team leader Brandon Roy and entered the playoffs as sixth in the West.

But Roy, a talented man known as the "successor to Kobe", had a bad fate, and he played the best performance of his career last season, averaging 21.5 points, 4.4 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game.

Just when everyone thought the league's next shooting guard benchmark was about to take off, Mambarroy Huang suffered a knee injury and a torn meniscus during a regular season game.

Although Roy tried his best to make a comeback in the playoffs, he still lost to the Suns 2-4 in the first round.

To make matters worse, Roy had another knee surgery in the offseason, and this time he no longer had the tissue called meniscus left in his knee......

While fans were boasting that Wade had conceded a meniscus as soon as he entered the league, the player, nicknamed "The Yellow Mamba," had both meniscus removed.

The Trail Blazers can make the playoffs in the West, where the strong West is full of powerhouses, and the strength of everyone other than Roy should not be underestimated.

The team's other guard, Andre Miller, a tall point guard who is good at bullying opposing small guards, averaged 14 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists per game last season.

The team's power forward LaMarcus Aldridge, the 2006 top of the list, is a tall offensive interior lineman who is best at straight-arm mid-range shooting and various back-to-back heads-up, averaging 17.9 points and 8 rebounds per game last season.

Team center Marcus Camby, the 2007 Defensive Player of the Year, a tough monster under the basket, an excellent defender of the restricted area, averaged 7 points, 12 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 2 blocks per game last season, which shows his strong defensive ability.

The Trail Blazers' lineup is a strong matchup against the Wizards who are now in full swing.

The Wizards fans were also very face-saving, and the mcI center was almost full.

At half past seven in the evening, the game started on time.

Tonight's Sanders changed the starting lineup again, allowing Sun Yue to replace TrevorBooker in the starting lineup and play small forward!

I'm afraid no one could have predicted that when Yi Jianlian was still playing as a substitute, Sun Yue entered the starting lineup of the Wizards first!

The game started on time, and Camby was very physical, and the jump ball won against Brach, and the Trail Blazers qualified for the first attack of the game.

The ball was dribbled to Miller across the halfcourt, and Roy used a cover to run back into the three-point line, and after receiving Miller's pass, he shot directly!

Roy hit the iron from mid-range, and Li Kaiming received the backcourt rebound to Hinrich.

Roy's first strike set the tone for his touch tonight.

After the Wizards arrived in the frontcourt, they handed the ball to Li Kaiming, who held the ball and singled Aldridge, used the rhythm change to break through to the basket, and forced a shot against Camby's block!

As a result, the game fell into an iron war after such an opening.

Li Kaiming's fatigue level is still 40, and he has not fully recovered to his best condition, so he basically stops playing.

Especially at the beginning of the game, he didn't want to spend his physical strength at this stage, so he basically focused on leading his teammates in the later periods, and only when he had to make a move, he would only single two.

As soon as Li Kaiming's firepower dropped, the Wizards' offense also fell into a state of constipation.

But after one quarter of the game, the opposite Trail Blazers are more iron than the Wizards!

Roy scored just 4 points on 2-of-5 shooting in the quarter, while Miller scored 0-of-4 shooting.

Aldridge was the only one on the line, with eight points and four rebounds on 3-of-7 shooting in the quarter.

Against the backdrop of the Trail Blazers' terrible hand, the Wizards' offense turned out to be less rubbish.

Hinrich still maintains the statistics of traditional point guards, with 4 points and 3 assists in a single quarter.

Bracy scored a team-high first quarter with seven points and three rebounds because of Li Kaiming's attention to attract Camby's attention.

Sun Yue was in average condition because of his first start, and only got 2 points and 1 assist in the first half of the game.

The fans of the mcI center did not expect that the thought strong dialogue would turn into a rookie pecking at the scene, and some fans were almost hypnotized by the sound of striking iron......

In the second and third quarters, the two sides continued to maintain inefficient offense, and the two sides tied at 41 at halftime, and after the third quarter, the Trail Blazers led by a narrow 62-59 advantage.

When the time came to the last 5 minutes of the fourth quarter, Li Kaiming, who had been silent for most of the court, suddenly broke out!

After the [Outside Offensive Badge] was activated, he received the ball from the backcourt, dribbled to the three-point line himself, and hit two consecutive three-point shots against Aldridge's defense, directly pulling the score away!

Of course, as the Trail Blazers' best player in this game, Aldridge will not sit still.

He also chose to single out Li Kaiming when he turned around, and hit a turnaround jumper!

It's a pity that three points are always one more point than two points.

In the face of Aldridge's response, Li Kaiming chose to ask for the ball outside the three-point line in the third round.

After the first two rounds, Aldridge's attention was completely drawn to Li Kaiming's three-pointer.

So when Li Kaiming got the ball again on the outside, Aldridge immediately posted it, even if he knew that he was easy to be overcome, he didn't want to let Li Kaiming shoot three points.

In the face of this kind of defense of choosing one of two cups of poison, today's Li Kaiming will naturally not force a three-point shot, but a stop-and-go jump shot that breaks through to the three-point line!

The Trail Blazers didn't prepare any pinch strategy in the middle distance, and Li Kaiming's mid-range shot fell into the basket with a bang!

After this goal, Li Kaiming successfully extended the difference to 5 points with 30 seconds left before the end of the game!

The Trail Blazers served from the baseline and attacked quickly, giving Roy a low-handed layup and missing.

The Wizards made no mistake in the foul tactics that followed, and the game ended with the Washington Wizards winning 88-81 at home against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Li Kaiming played only 31 minutes in the whole game, 8-of-16, 2-of-5 three-pointers, 4-of-5 free throws, and scored 22 points, 11 rebounds, 9 assists and 1 block.

The rest of the Wizards were also average, with Bracy being fierce in the first half and halved efficiency in the second half, finishing with 16 points, 12 rebounds and one block.

Nick Young, who has been pulling his hips for several games, stood up tonight, scoring 18 points and 4 rebounds on 2-of-5 three-point shooting.

Sun Yue, who started for the first time, made 2 of 4 three-pointers, 1 of 2 free throws, and scored 7 points, 1 steal and 1 block, and the statistics were decent.

Because Li Kaiming didn't play much tonight, Yi Jianlian also got a lot of opportunities to play, and the latter performed particularly well tonight, coming off the bench for 20 minutes and scoring 13 points and 7 rebounds.

Li Kaiming's style of playing to save his physical strength is really good, and his fatigue has only increased by 5 points after the whole game, and he only needs a night's rest to reduce his fatigue to below 40.

The reason why he chose this style of play in this game is also because he saw that the opposite side did not feel good, which just gave him the opportunity to paddle on the court.

Conserving energy is a must, because after this game, the Wizards will say goodbye to the mcI Center and begin a trip to the West.

And it's not a simple three-game away streak, it's three games in four days, including a back-to-back, and the opponents in these three games are not weak, in order of Phoenix Suns, Los Angeles Lakers and Saramento Kings.

In this case, Li Kaiming had to choose to take a long-term view and reserve his physical strength for the three consecutive away games in the west.

After the victory over the Trail Blazers, the Wizards embarked on an away trip.

It was also the first time Li Kaiming had played in another division, starting with Phoenix, Arizona.

The journey from Washington to Phoenix stretches almost the entire Emerica from east to west on the map, so the journey is long enough that even if the NbA team has a special plane, it will take more than eight hours to travel on the road!

This is also the first time in Li Kaiming's life to fly for such a long time, and when the space of the team's special plane is large enough, he feels that the whole person has become very stiff.

The reason for the poor feel of the Trail Blazers in the last game has been found!

After arriving in Phoenix, Li Kaiming could feel as soon as he got off the plane that the temperature here was not at the same level as Washington.

Although Washington is not as cold as Toronto, there is already a hint of coolness in December in Emerica, which is also a high-latitude city.

But in Phoenix, Li Kaiming can clearly feel a heat wave! And it's not just heat, it's a lack of moisture!

No wonder this place is called Sun City, I'm afraid that the whole city is dried by the sun!

On the evening of December 7, the day after arriving in Phoenix, the game between the Wizards and the Suns started on time!

The Suns lost their main players such as Xiao Si in the offseason, and the team completely changed its appearance from the inside out, but surprisingly, the Suns' offense is still sharp, and so far this season, the Suns' offensive efficiency is still ranked 5th among the 30 teams in the league.

But equally, the Suns, who have lost a lot of important players, have also suffered a serious decline on the defensive end, and are currently the bottom 5 in the league in defensive efficiency, and are the only team in the league to be in the top 5 in offense and in the bottom 5 in defense.

As for the other team, it is naturally the Wizards team that Li Kaiming is in, but the Wizards are more extreme than the Suns, currently averaging 109.8 points per game and the league's second-to-last in conceding 108 points per game.

To put it simply, the offense is full, and the defense is also full, but the defensive pull is the crotch pull.

What sparks can two teams with the same style collide in this game?

At the end of the game, the Washington Wizards lost 108-125 to the Phoenix Suns on the road, losing the first game of the Western Conference three-game losing streak.

Li Kaiming played 38 minutes, shooting 10 of 21, including 1 of 5 three-pointers and 6 of 6 free throws, and scored 27 points, 15 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 block.

The fatigue of the long journey was not completely eliminated after a night's time, and the rest of the Wizards did not perform well except for Li Kaiming himself.

Hinrich had 12 points, four rebounds and four assists on 4-of-12 shooting, while Bracy had 18 points and four rebounds but shot just 40 percent from the field.

The Huaguo duo performed well, Sun Yue still started tonight, got 8 points and 3 rebounds, and Yi Jianlian got a double-double of 12 points and 10 rebounds.

After the game, the Wizards did not stay in Felix for long, and set off for Los Angeles, the second largest city in all, and stars everywhere.

And this time their opponent is the defending champion Lakers!
