Chapter 306 Attribution of Awards
After Artest slapped Sun Yue in the face with his ball protector, he was about to make a one-handed layup in his heart.
Li Kaiming saw everything Artest did under the basket, and he was already so angry in his heart that he couldn't do it
Seeing that Artest was about to go to the basket, he jumped up a volleyball hat and fanned the basketball back!
Under his intentional control, Artest didn't have time to react, and the basketball in front of him got bigger and bigger.
Then Artest only felt a sour bridge of his nose, and then the tears couldn't stop flowing!
He couldn't help but squat on the ground with his hands over his face, and the game seemed to have nothing to do with him for the time being.
The bridge of the nose can be one of the few vulnerable parts of the human body, and even a blow to the nose of a professional athlete can cause a temporary loss of movement.
Sun Yue, who was slapped by Artest with a ball protector, was a little at a loss, because he thought the referee would blow Artest's offensive foul, but he didn't expect the referee on the bottom line to just look at him, and then there was no movement.
But Li Kaiming used a very compliant move, not only to prevent Artest's attack, but also to avenge Sun Yue!
This is something that Sun Yue himself did not expect.
After Li Kaiming landed, he glanced at Artest, who was covering his face like a headless fly, with a happy expression on his face.
That's right, Li Kaiming is such a person, justice is justice in him, and he will never be late and absent!
Sun Yue happened to take this rebound under the basket, and Li Kaiming rushed to the front court as soon as he landed, taking advantage of Artest's lack of way to participate in the game, it would be best if he could play a conversion fast break!
But the Lakers reacted quickly, and Fisher came up and directly fouled Hinrich.
That short period of time was enough for Artest to return to normal, and the Wizards served the ball on the sideline.
Li Kaiming still lets Hinrich play with the ball, and he acts as a transfer station for passing the ball.
After a block, the Lakers' Fisher and Gasol both began to shrink inside, not giving Li Kaiming a chance to catch the ball.
However, this gave Hinrich a chance, and he broke through halfway through and suddenly withdrew, and then shot a long two-point shot against the defending Fisher!
42 to 46!
After the Lakers' timeout ended, their offense was defended, not to mention, and they were beaten by the opposite side.
Joel Myers in the commentary box is almost crazy!
"What the hell is Phil Jackson doing? Why nothing has changed after the timeout, and the players on the field are still as dead as before! ”
Marco Jackson next to him frowned, "Joel, be patient when watching the game, this is the first round, watch it for two minutes!" ”
Hearing Marco Jackson say this, Joel Myers let out a long breath through his nostrils, "Okay, then look at it for a while." ”
The Lakers attacked, Kobe Bryant stuck Nick Young in the waist position and was ready to play with the ball back, but the Wizards had already taken precautions against this, and Li Kaiming quietly went over to help Nick Young help Kobe Bryant.
Kobe Bryant turned around and started only to find that Li Kaiming had already wrapped it up.
So he immediately jumped up and passed the ball to Gasol, who was one step inside the free throw line.
Li Kaiming quickly returned to the position, Gasol used a shooting feint, and waited for Li Kaiming to start the moment he came, and then an old man took three steps slowly, leaning on Li Kaiming to score a layup!
46 to 44!
"Look, Phil Jackson never calls a pointless timeout!" Mark Jackson said to Joel Myers with a smile.
The latter saw that the Lakers were finally able to score fluently, and the expression on his face became a little better.
"Look at the defense, if you can't defend against the opposite side, what's the use of scoring 2 points yourself?" Joel Myers muttered.
Sturantz and Marco Jackson looked at each other and smiled, this colleague was a little silly cute!
If the offensive efficiency of the league's No. 1 can be easily prevented, can it still be called the league's No. 1?
Besides, looking at what this Joel Myers means, what he wants to do is not to let the Lakers suppress the Wizards' scores, but to make the Wizards scoreless!
On the court, the Wizards served, and there were less than 2 minutes left before the end of the first half.
Hinrich dribbled the ball into the front court, and Li Kaiming quickly rebounded after the dismantling, attracting the attention of Fisher, who had to switch defenses with Gasol.
Hinrich dribbled Gasol from inside the three-point line and then passed the ball out, and finally the ball came to Li Kaiming's hand.
Li Kaiming played Fisher as a point guard with a two-meter-one, didn't he just pull it out on top of Fisher's head?
Li Kaiming didn't even hesitate when he received the ball, and directly ignored Fisher's three-point shot on the spot!
With a bang, the basketball hollow into the net!
49 to 44!
On the Lakers' bench, Phil Jackson's slightly squinted eyes blinked twice, and his eyes looked through the lenses, staring closely at the Wizards' No. 0 on the court.
It could also be seen from his frowning brow that Li Kaiming made him feel tricky.
When a big man is calling from beyond the three-point line, all you can do is pray in your heart that he will feel worse.
The Lakers offense gave the ball to Kobe, who singled out Nick Young outside the three-point line, and after a body change of direction accelerated to get rid of the latter, he made a mid-range emergency stop and drifted to shoot, and hit it steadily!
49 to 46!
This kind of ball is Kobe's best non-killer!
With one minute left in the game, the Wizards are ready to play a quick one and then try to get one more offensive opportunity before halftime.
Li Kaiming shook off Gasol in an off-ball acceleration run, and then received a pass from Hinrich and made a sharp stop in the three-point line!
The basketball smashed into the neck of the basket and bounced high.
Odom received the rebound to Kobe, and the Lakers pressed the rhythm to play the last attack of the first half!
Fans throughout the Staples Center stood up, and that countdown was the best part of the Lakers game.
Bryant spent 12 seconds left near the halfway line, then suddenly started and pulled out his hand from beyond the three-point line in the face of Nick Young's defense!
Nick Young didn't expect that Kobe Bryant was wasting time until now, and it turned out that his defense was a beat slower in order to shoot a three-pointer.
Bryant's three-pointer slammed into the inside edge of the basket, and then quickly changed direction and drilled into the basket!
49 draws!
Bryant ran back to the Lakers' backcourt with a grim expression, but everyone could tell that he was enjoying the moment.
On the commentary seat, Joel Myers danced happily, "Kobe, Kobe Bryant again, he is simply a god on the court!" ”
Nick Young patted his chest with some annoyance, Kobe's shot selection is very tricky, others pick easy shots, but he is different, he likes to challenge all kinds of difficult shots.
It doesn't matter if he's on top or alone, but that's the charm of Kobe's play.
In addition to the competition itself, the biggest role of professional basketball is naturally high ornamentation.
The Wizards serve the baseline ball, and they still have plenty of time to play an offense.
Hinrich dribbled to the front court and handed the ball directly to Li Kaiming, this kind of bayonet is red, naturally it has to be handed over to the team boss to carry.
At the Stamp Center, nearly 20,000 fans stood up and shouted in unison under the guidance of the live dJ.
"Defend! Defend! Defend! ”
The Lakers' players are also staring at their opponents like hungry wolves, and the entire defensive formation is like a clockwork precision machine, running in an orderly manner with the movement of the Wizards players.
There are 8 seconds left!
Li Kaiming faced Gasol's one-step defense, and suddenly accelerated laterally and broke through to Gasol's left side.
Gasol subconsciously slid and moved over there, Li Kaiming suddenly dribbled the ball back with a hook of his wrist, and then shook Gasol away with a sharp change of direction like a pendulum, and threw it directly outside the three-point line!
Gasol's expression was hideous, and he tried his best to pounce on Li Kaiming.
But with a loud snort, Li Kaiming ended the round with a three-pointer!
49 to 52!
The fans at the Staples Center let out a sigh in unison.
With two seconds left, Kobe Bryant instructed Gasol to serve the ball to him, and after receiving the ball, he turned around and aimed at the basket to shoot from a long distance, but unfortunately it didn't hit!
In Huaguo's studio, as Kobe missed three points, Zhang Weiping summarized the game in the first half as the host, "At the end of the half, the visiting team Washington Wizards surpassed the Lakers by 2 points with a sudden outburst on the outside in the last few minutes of the second quarter, and it can be said that the Lakers and the Wizards played their own styles in the first half......"
At half-time, Marco Jackson, who was hired by ESpN, rightfully steered the conversation to the awards of this season.
"Brothers, who do you think the season has played so far, the season mVp, the best defensive player and the best rookie?"
As soon as I talked about this, the other two commentators were naturally not sleepy.
Sturantz was the first to express his opinion, "Let's start with the least important award, Best Rookie, I don't think there is any suspense in this award, it's basically Li Kaiming!" ”
Joel Myers, who was next to him, expressed his dissatisfaction, "The Clippers' Blake Griffin is also very impressive, is there no chance at all?" ”
Sturantz retorted, "Blake's performance is very good, but Li Kaiming is the current league scoring leader, averaging 34 points per game, and he led the team to change the Wizards from the bottom of the East to a top four team, I think whether you look at the data or the record, Li Kaiming is ahead, and far ahead!" ”
Joel Myers also wants to argue for Griffin, "Blake may be averaging 21 points and 11 rebounds per game at the moment, is this a big difference with Li Kaiming's?" ”
Marco Jackson couldn't help laughing, "My brother, you can eat and talk nonsense, Li Kaiming's average rebounds per game are close to 7, 4 behind Blake, but he is 13 points ahead of the latter in average points per game!" What is the concept of 13 points, you count the extra 13 points as a person, this player can get at least 4 million annual salary in the current NbA......"
Sturantz next to him also interjected at the right time and made up for Joel Myers.
"The Wizards are currently third in the East, while the Clippers are second to last in the West."
Joel Myers found out that he had said something very stupid, and he blushed and tried to justify himself, but after talking for a long time, the two people next to him did not hear or complete a sentence......
