Back at home, the Wizards will play fellow Eastern Conference team Indiana Pacers twice in a row, the first on the Wizards' home court and the second on Indiana.

The Pacers currently sit eighth in the East with a 13-16 record, which is considered a relatively competitive playoff team.

Their squad is also full of some well-balanced players, which is more consistent with their record.

Some of the more famous players are Danny Granger, Mike Dun Levy, Darren Collison and Roy Hibbert.

Judging from the lineup, this Pacers team is basically built on defense, and interior defense is their core.

It's worth mentioning that in this year's draft, the Pacers used their No. 9 pick to pick Paul George, a forward from Fresno State University.

It's a pity that the Pacers have a very rich talent pool at the forward position, so Paul George didn't get much of a chance.

December 29 is coming soon, facing the Pacers with Hibbert on the inside, Sanders' general policy for the Wizards is naturally to open up the situation on the outside first, so as to open up space for the interior offense.

The team's tactics were executed very well, and after one game, the Wizards threw a total of 18 three-pointers, directly drowning the Pacers in the turbulent waves formed after the three-point rain landed.

In the end, the Wizards easily defeated the Pacers 114-95 at home to win two in a row.

After the home win over the Pacers, the Wizards traveled to Indianapolis, the city where the Pacers are home that night.

It's a city that's quite familiar to Lee, and they were racing here for a while during the original NcAA March Madness.

The day after arriving in Indianapolis, the NbA website released the results of the second phase of voting for the 2011 Staples All-Stars.

Kobe Bryant still retains the position of the ticket king, and the other stars basically got the expected number of votes, and only one person's position on the entire list has attracted the attention of fans.

On the last day of the second phase, Li Kaiming surpassed Paul Pierce, a forward from the Boston Celtics, with a vote of more than 400,000, and officially became the fourth All-Star forward in the East!

In other words, if this All-Star is completely dependent on the vote of fans, Li Kaiming is already an All-Star substitute at this time!

Li Kaiming's halfway kill immediately attracted widespread attention in Emerica.

"He's a rookie, how can he outrun Paul Pearce? I think this vote is shady! ”

"The possibility of shady scenes is very small, I think it is because of his Chinese identity, there are many Chinese people who voted for him, just like Yao Ming back then!"

"I hope David Stern will make improvements to the All-Star voting mechanism, Li Kaiming's strength is far worse than Pierce, who is obviously more worthy of this All-Star than him."

……

There are many local fans in Emerica who are not convinced, of course, most of them are fans of Li Kaiming's rivals, they think that the proportion of fan votes is too large, so that Li Kaiming, a fish like Li Kaiming, has also entered the All-Star.

But these people must not have imagined that Li Kaiming, as a party at this time, was not satisfied with his votes, you know, if he wants to complete the S-level task of the system, he must enter the All-Star starter.

Although the system did not state that he would be selected as an All-Star starter, he knew in his heart that the All-Star bench was not voted on by the fans as the starters, but by the coaches' votes from the alternate players.

He is just a rookie, and he has no connections in the league, and he has no honors, that is, he does not have a high status in the league.

In this case, how can the coaches of each team vote for him?

So just in case, to complete this S-level mission safely, he must let his All-Star votes rush into the top two of the Eastern Forwards!

The day after the Wizards arrived in Indianapolis, the two players bounced back on the Pacers' home court and fought it all the way through.

The coach of the Pacers made a special arrangement before the game this time, because the Wizards' three-point game scared him, so he prepared a little surprise for the Wizards players.

After the game between the two sides entered the second quarter, and Sanders took the five-outside lineup as usual, the Pacers also changed the mysterious gift package prepared by the coach for the Wizards!

After seeing the lineup of the Pacers, Li Kaiming couldn't help laughing!

Damn, what's crazy about this Pacers' coach? Why did they play five small?

That's right, the Pacers, the smart head coach, after going into the small dark room and thinking about it for two days and two nights, came up with the way to win his own big center and fight against the Wizards!

It's not stupid, it's stupid cute!

Li Kaiming retreated to focus his main shots on the outside, because of the Pacers' point of Hibbert under the basket, the threat of protecting the rim is great.

But now in order to defend the Wizards' three-point shooting, the Pacers actually took the initiative to take out their most threatening person under the basket, and then gave up their strengths to fight with the Wizards!

Note that the position of this five-small center of the Wizards is Li Kaiming, and his height of 210 is completely enough to play center.

And the Pacers actually let their 208 power forward play center after replacing the big center, and the big forward position is the original small forward, Danny Granger, who is 206 tall.

I have to say, this coach is really a talent!

Since the other side is so face-saving, then Li Kaiming doesn't play it, and he's sorry for the efforts of the head coach of the Pacers!

So in the second half of the second quarter, Li Kaiming began to hold the ball alone a lot, and his style of play and thinking were completely different from the previous game, breaking through to the basket as much as possible.

The Pacers' two interior combinations of less than 210, in the face of Li Kaiming's singles, not only did not prevent Li Kaiming's breakthrough, but were bukkake several times by Li Kaiming!

As for the dunk under the basket, that's even more!

With the cooperation of the undercover head coach opposite, Li Kaiming scored 16 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists in only half a quarter in the second quarter.

This is still the consequence of the Pacers who found out that something was wrong after playing halfway through and brought the big center up.

But at this time, Li Kaiming's hand has been completely opened, and even if he takes the big center on the opposite side, he can't stop his hot hand.

In one sentence to describe Li Kaiming at this time, that is, in his eyes, the basket is as wide as the sea!

In the second half, the Pacers head coach finally realized what he was doing and brought on Hibbert in hopes of turning the tide in the next moment.

I have to admit that this Hibbert's efficiency in protecting the rim under the basket is really high, and Li Kaiming's score is not so easy to break through the inside.

However, what made the Pacers players break the defense was that Li Kaiming himself didn't score much, but he began to lead his teammates like in the last game!

Li Kaiming used his outside threat to move the Pacers' interior line, and then broke through to the three-point line, attracting the Pacers' bag and formation contraction, and then distributed the ball to his teammates on the outside.

Under his intimate nurture like an old mother, the outside firepower of the Wizards team rose again, like a second brother who took sildenafil, and immediately became firm.

The Pacers, who focused on Li Kaiming, were like little girls who had been stripped naked, and they were quickly defeated under the wolf-like launch of the Wizards players!

It is worth mentioning that in the second half, the Pacers also took Paul George and let him play for two minutes.

The reason why he only played for two minutes was because after George came up, Li Kaiming played a 2+1 against him, which suddenly made the Pacers fans unbearable!

What the hell! They are all rookies, why are your families so fierce?

In order to protect George's weak self-esteem, the coach hurriedly changed it.

It's hard to choose a player with a bit of talent, but you can't let the pervert on the other side be scrapped......

George had a big question in his little heart: Coach, why don't you let me play basketball? Coach I want to play!

Coach: You hit a hammer! I'm afraid that after you go up, you'll be beaten by the pervert on the other side, but you're the only seedling at home......

From the previous Evan Turner to the current Paul George, every rookie in the same class, against Li Kaiming, was abused to the point of incompleteness without accident.

Li Kaiming can be called the dream killer mentor of this rookie!

After the two sides played until five minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Pacers saw that they had no chance to catch up with the score, so they directly took the initiative to call a timeout, replaced the water cooler, and Mingjin withdrew!

Saunders also took advantage of the situation and replaced him with players who were eager to try on the bench.

However, it was this change that caused a problem.

When Yi Jianlian was two minutes away from the end of the game, he landed on the opposite foot after grabbing a rebound, and then sprained his ankle!

After the team doctor stepped forward to check it, he asked the two players to take Yi Jianlian back to the locker room.

It was originally a happy and peaceful game, but because of Yi Jianlian's sudden injury and withdrawal, it cast a shadow.

At the end of the game, the Wizards won 95-86 at the Pacers' home court, adding another win to the team's record.

Li Kaiming played 32 minutes, shooting 12 of 21, including 4 of 8 three-pointers and 5 of 7 free throws, with 33 points, 17 rebounds and 9 assists.

was short of an assist triple-double, and Sanders asked Li Kaiming if he wanted to play for a while to get an assist, but Li Kaiming refused.

He lacks everything, just data!

After returning to the locker room, Li Kaiming also learned about Yi Jianlian's situation.

The MRI showed nothing wrong with it, just a normal sprain, but it would have to be out for at least a week.

Li Kaiming sighed, Yi Jianlian's hard work and dedication in training he saw in his eyes, under his persuasion, Yi Jianlian changed his shooting posture this season, and as the season deepened, the shooting rate gradually began to rise.

But at this time, Yi Jianlian was injured!

How to say it, I can't blame others, I can only say that I am unlucky, and this bad luck seems to run through Yi Jianlian's entire NbA career, every time he plays a little famous, he will suddenly get injured after a while.

Fortunately, this time it was just a simple stumble, and the impact was not great.
