Chapter 343: The Superior is the Hard One

Coming up in the fourth quarter, Sanders first took the rotation lineup, and his main purpose was to find opportunities for Josh Howard to get him used to the intensity of the game.

As soon as Howard returned, the Wizards went from a lack of small forwards to a pool of talent at the small forward position, and the backup guards began to be short of people.

There's no way around it, and the Wizards have been missing injuries since the start of the season, from Arenas, to Josh Howard, to Alssoton, and most recently, Yi Jianlian.

Luck doesn't seem to be on the Wizards' side, or rather, the Wizards' selection of Li Kaiming has spent the whole year of luck.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Monty's side also took the rotation lineup, but compared to the depth of the bench, the Hornets were confident.

The rotation of the two sides played on the court for about 5 minutes, and the score was chased to 100-93, and the difference came to 7 points.

In fact, when the difference reached single digits, Sanders already wanted to call a timeout to replace the substitutes, but he still wanted to buy the starters as much time as possible to rest.

The starters of both sides appeared again and the final battle began.

After the game came up, after a "training", Chris Cannon was obviously much more well-behaved, and he was no longer obsessed with Li Kaiming.

The main thing is that you can't do it!

Paul, who has become a sanity cannon, is still relatively powerful, at least in terms of sorting out the team's offense in an orderly manner.

However, it can only be done in an orderly manner, no matter how Chris cannon is sorted out, the Hornets' player configuration and tactical system are destined to have their offensive ceiling not high.

Especially Li Kaiming directly took over the team's offense after he came on the court, he didn't want to spend any more time with the Hornets, he had to clock out and get out of work!

Every minute on the field now is regarded as overtime for Li Kaiming, and as a person with socialist blood in his veins, Li Kaiming resolutely resists any form of overtime.

So the Hornets who caused him to work overtime naturally became a stumbling block on his way to punch in, and Li Kaiming's attitude towards stumbling blocks has always been to deal with them with the harshest means.

Therefore, not surprisingly, a few minutes after Li Kaiming played, the score difference was directly stretched to 15 points, and the game completely lost its suspense.

And the most annoying thing is that after Li Kaiming came on the court in the fourth quarter, the sad Okafor became the target of the beating again, and was deducted by Li Kaiming again......

Okafor: It's boring, it's boring, let's close!

The game finally came to an end at the mcI Center, where the Wizards defeated the visiting New Orleans Hornets 121-114 at home, giving the Hornets fans a New Year's gift package!

Ask the Hornets fans to have a psychological shadow area at this time......

After the win over the Hornets, the Wizards were once again given a three-and-a-half-day break, with the next game not until Jan. 5.

So Sanders gave the players a vacation again, but this time Li Kaiming did not use it to rest and sleep.

He spent most of his time training, and of course, with Sun Yue.

Now Sun Yue and when they first joined the Wizards, it can be said that they are like two people, not only have their muscles bigger, but their shooting posture and rhythm have become a lot more neat.

When he played professional basketball in Huaguo before, Sun Yue developed a lot of bad habits, such as always subconsciously looking for teammates first after holding the ball, especially looking for the inside, and never looking at the basket.

Another example is that when receiving the ball on the outside, he hesitates to shoot, and likes to make a shooting feint at every turn, and after this feint reaches NbA, not only does it not have a chance to shake the opponent, but it becomes a feint that looks like it is a feint for the sake of a feint.

After a few months of hard work, Sun Yue is now more and more like an NbA player.

I have to say that his talent is still good, although it is only a second-round show, but being able to be selected at such an age already shows where Sun Yue's talent lies.

In addition to the change in the rhythm of shooting, Sun Yue's shooting stability is now much stronger than at the beginning.

When I first came to play a summer league and preseason, I could shoot an N in 1 at every turn, and I started to play now, becoming a key part of the Wizards' five small teams, even if Josh Howard came back, Sanders did not take Sun Yue as the starter, which shows how much progress the latter has!

And from a thorny player in the mouth of the Chinese media to a stable rotation of the current NbA team, all these changes are because of Li Kaiming's words at the beginning.

In NbA, you have to learn to see yourself clearly, which one can enter NbA is not the Jordan in your own story, but in the end, in addition to the real genius, is the person who can see his ceiling and make a choice as soon as possible.

Basketball is a team sport, and there are always people who have to make sacrifices, and since that group of star players is more capable individually, in order for the team to win, only role players have to make sacrifices.

Therefore, Sun Yue is grateful to Li Kaiming from the bottom of his heart, who not only won him the opportunity to play at the beginning, but also saw his problems clearly and gave guidance.

What is rare in this world is not the icing on the cake, but the charcoal in the snow, he Sun Yue can go from a problem player who is deeply involved in the "car shock goal" to the only Chinese starter in the NbA, he naturally knows who to be grateful to.

In fact, in addition to Sun Yue, Yi Jianlian's progress is also good, after he changed his shooting posture, the shooting rate once fell to the bottom, and sometimes he could only get a few rebounds in a whole game.

However, with the progress of training, Yi Jianlian's shooting stability, especially the stability of receiving and shooting, has been greatly improved, and the shooting speed is several times faster than before.

If it weren't for his bad luck and stepping on someone else's foot, Yi Jianlian would have secured the sixth position on the Wizards.

After two days of hard workout, the Wizards packed up and headed to the airport for a flight to Philadelphia.

This game will be the third battle between the Wizards and the 76ers this season, and the two sides are already so familiar that they almost know what color the opposite pants are, so there are no secrets in this game.

After a few days of special training, Li Kaiming is gearing up to show his strength on the home court of the 76ers.

It's a pity that it backfired, and Sun Yue, who trained with him, maintained a very good condition, but the rest of the Wizards team was more like a big break, just like the office workers who went to work on the first day after the November Golden Week, and couldn't focus on the game at all.

Defense aside, none of the 76ers' players on the court, except for John Wall, shot less than 60 percent from the field......

In this case, there is only one possibility to win, and that is that the Wizards are shooting even higher than the opposing team.

However......

Nick Young shot 3-of-12 from the field and 0-of-5 from the field to finish with seven points and three rebounds.

The team's starting point guard, Hinrich, shot 5-of-13 from the field and 1-of-6 from three-point range to finish with 11 points, four rebounds and eight assists, and it is worth mentioning that he did not make a single free throw.

Hinrich's performance was actually pretty good for the Wizards, as he was fouled six times by 76ers' starting point guard Jrue Holiday and graduated before the game was over.

The team's two centers, Bradge and McGee, combined for 4-of-14 baskets and 3 caps, were targeted by the 76ers' interior to the point of autism.

If it weren't for Li Kaiming and Sun Yue hanging on the outside, I'm afraid it would have entered garbage time in the third quarter.

But even so, the Wizards still lost 96-107 to the 76ers by 11 points.

Fortunately, John Wall's performance on the opposite side is also rubbish to death, otherwise Philadelphia fans and the media don't know how to arrange Li Kaiming!

After losing to the 76ers, the Wizards' next game will be back at home against the incoming New Jersey Nets.

But that was on January 7th, and before the tournament arrived, there was another thing that was even more important to Li Kaiming.

On January 6, 2011, NbA officially announced the results of the third phase of voting for the 2011 Stamp All-Stars on its website.

And as soon as the results came out, they immediately caused a strong reaction in Emelica!

The total vote king is still firmly controlled by the host's Kobe Bryant, who is far ahead of the others with more than 1.39 million votes.

And the voting results in the East are interesting, James, the vote king in the first two stages of the East, was actually overtaken by Howard after leading for a month!

Howard is currently slightly ahead of James by 10,000 votes with more than 1.2 million votes, and it seems that James ran to the Big Three of the Heat team to really hurt his fans, otherwise how could he lose to Howard than vote.

In addition to the change of ownership of the eastern vote king, another more eye-catching thing is Li Kaiming's votes.

A week after surpassing the Celtics' Paul Pierce, since Li Kaiming can appear on the top five balls the next day at least once as long as there is a Wizards game during this time, his exposure is very large!

In more than a week, Li Kaiming's votes soared by more than 200,000 to 670,000 votes.

And the two people in front of him, Xiao Si and Garnett, have very close votes, one is 820,000 and the other is 830,000.

Although Li Kaiming is still some distance away from the votes of these two people, his increase this week still surprised many fans and media!

You must know that these stars with the highest number of votes, which one of them has not worked hard in the league for many years, and at least has one of the best teams in hand.

And now, these stars who have been working hard in the league for many years seem to be turning into the front wave, and they are being slapped to death on the beach by Li Kaiming's turbulent back wave!

For this question, the reporter also interviewed Boston Celtics star Kevin Garnett.

Garnett is confident about this, "He's far from me in the vote right now, I don't think he can surpass me." If that day will come sooner or later, it will certainly not be this year. On the contrary, I felt that as time went by, my brother Paul Pierce would outnumber him! ”

Garnett's speech was very level, not only showing his attitude, but also affirming Li Kaiming's prospects to a certain extent, and even expressing support for his teammates, which can be said to be a perfect speech.

But Li Kaiming doesn't think so, he knows that if he wants to be in the starting lineup, it is unrealistic to surpass James, but he must surpass Garnett and Xiaosi.

So hard, I'm sorry, I'm going to surpass you! And it has to be this year!
