After an away win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Wizards returned to Washington non-stop.

Everyone is in a hurry, afraid to stay in Minnesota for a second more!

The main reason is that the temperature in Minnesota in January is so cold, and it has snowed recently, which makes it even colder, so that the Wizards players have not the slightest interest in enjoying the road.

After returning to the home court, there was still nearly a day's rest, and the next day the Wizards played at home against the Raptors, who had moved south from Toronto to escape the cold.

In addition to meeting his good brother Elliott Williams again, there is another thing that makes Li Kaiming feel happy, that is, Yi Jianlian has fully recovered after two weeks of recuperation.

In fact, Yi Jianlian's injury this time was an ordinary ankle sprain, which could be better in the early weeks, but Sanders still let Yi Jianlian rest for a few more days just in case.

It's not that Sanders is big now, but he also discovered that since the All-Star voting began, Li Kaiming's state has risen a level, and with this form of Li Kaiming in hand, Sanders has full confidence in the team's record!

And the fact is indeed as Sanders expected, under the leadership of Li Kaiming, the Wizards team without Yi Jianlian still maintains a high winning rate, and the current record ranking has not fallen out of the top three in the East.

On the other hand, Li Kaiming also received text messages and phone calls from Elliott Williams before the game.

[Brother, this time I will do my best to give you an impressive defeat again!] 】

Damn, this guy is a good middle two, and that tone sounds like the main character in some comics......

Li Kaiming shook his head with a smile, and then typed a few words on his phone.

[Let's get ready to get hatted tonight!] 】

The night game started at seven o'clock sharp, the last time we lost to the Raptors, it was because the Wizards players were not in good shape, and now the Wizards are on the right track, and they are aggressive, how can they lose to the Raptors, who are third from the bottom in the East?

As for the hot pot that Li Kaiming promised his good brother before the game, of course he will not forget it.

He showed unprecedented defensive focus after Williams came on tonight and finally gave Elliott Williams two big hats in the limited time he had on the pitch at the same time!

was so angry that Williams took a "small fist" as big as a sandbag to hammer Li Kaiming's chest after the game!

Li Kaiming spread his hands innocently, "Who the hell asked you to text to provoke me before the game?" ”

"What text message? How come I don't know", Williams immediately began to pretend to be crazy and stupid, "It must be my cousin secretly playing with my phone, waiting for me to go back and beat up!" ”

Li Kaiming couldn't help but roll his eyes, I'm grass, your face is really thick, where did you come from? Cousin Void, right?

Williams finally came to visit, and the necessary hospitality was still necessary, but neither of them liked to drink much during meals, which was a good thing for Li Kaiming.

Williams, a non-drinker, must be a "good boy" in the concept of his uncle and aunt!

But the actual reason is that this guy is allergic to alcohol......

After the home win over the Raptors, the Wizards' next few opponents were inconsequential, not because they weren't strong, but because they didn't have much attention.

In the process, the Wizards won two of their three games and essentially maintained their season-long win average.

Of course, Li Kaiming's attention is still as high as ever, mainly as long as there is a Wizards game, this guy will rely on the next day's top five ball highlights, unless there are fans who hate him very much, and he is specially given to change the channel when the five best balls are played, otherwise Li Kaiming is the biggest "conspicuous bag" in NbA during this time......

This situation lasted until January 22, and as the final results of the All-Star voting were announced, Li Kaiming's heart gradually rose.

Although he is very confident in his performance, voting is not up to him after all, and it is possible that the final result is one vote short, and he will not be able to enter the starting lineup, and he will have no place to cry when the time comes!

So Li Kaiming set his sights on the second showdown between No. 22 and the Celtics!

In the last matchup between the two sides, the Wizards not only lost the game, but also gave up the first position in the East.

How can this be endured? As a player whose goal is the first person in history, Li Kaiming can't get used to seeing someone stepping on his head and pretending to be forced no matter what!

And it just so happens that the hard special is also an appetizer on his way to the All-Star starter, and now there are two reasons to get together, and he has to come up with a twelve-point spirit in this game!

At the same time, the Boston Celtics on the opposite side also put all their minds on the upcoming matchup, head coach Doug Rivers shook his round head, and his eyes showed a sense of confusion from time to time, standing on the edge of the training court to direct the Celtics players to run tactics.

The Celtics currently sit first in the East with 33 wins and 9 losses, while the Wizards sit second in the East with 31 wins and 11 losses.

Coincidentally, the second matchup between the two sides is still the first and second match in the East, but this time the two sides have switched positions, and the Celtics are the side with the better record.

The media of Emerika and Huaguo began to work hard to render this strong matchup, after all, the game between the first and second in the same division is not often seen, and there are only 4 games in a season, and if you want to watch it, you have to wait until the playoffs, and the two sides may not meet in the playoffs!

What's more, the last game between the two sides and the final "misjudgment" incident, coupled with the bickering after the game, made this game full of highlights.

Therefore, at the press conference before the game, a large number of Amerika reporters and Chinese reporters came to the press conference, and all kinds of equipment were set up, waiting for the main owner to enter!

At six o'clock in the afternoon, as the players and coaches of both sides entered the press conference, the reporters who were waiting here to lose patience immediately became agitated.

Coach Sanders used the Force, pressing his hands in the air, and the reporters waiting in front of the Wizards' table immediately fell silent.

Sanders nodded in satisfaction, then asked kindly, "If you have any questions to ask, I can start asking!" ”

As soon as Sanders's voice fell, the whole scene was extremely quiet, but no one raised their hands to ask questions, a second, two seconds, three seconds......

Waiting any longer will only make it more embarrassing, so Sanders gave the microphone to Li Kaiming.

As soon as the reporters saw that they could finally interview Li Kaiming, they immediately began to be restless again!

This made Sanders, who was sitting next to him, his face red and white!

Feed! You bastards! I'm a coach! Instructor! Why didn't you interview me?

Li Kaiming looked at these crazy reporters, threw a comforting look at Sanders, and then said, "If you want to ask me, you can raise your hand!" ”

As soon as the words fell, all the reporters present raised their hands, which was completely different from the interview with Sanders just now, and it was hard for you to imagine that this was the same group of people.

Sanders on the side wants to strangle these reporters, what the hell do you mean? Why didn't the coach ask, and they all pounced on this guy?

Journalists: We mainly think that whoever is in your position is the same......

Li Kaiming chose a reporter for him to ask questions, and the latter stood up and asked, "Li, do you think you will win this matchup?" ”

'Of course, there's no doubt about it, we lost the last duel and after that we have changed a lot of the squad, there have been people who have left, new players have joined, this team is completely different from before, we are very hungry for tonight's victory!' Li Kaiming put away the smile on his face and replied.

"Lee, do you think the Wizards' strength has increased or decreased after that trade?" The second reporter asked a question.

Hearing this question, Li Kaiming spit on this guy, how did you get your special press card? If you have the opportunity to ask such a garbage question, right?

If he answers that the team is stronger, it shows that he has a problem with the players who have been traded, and if the answer is down, it is disrespectful of the work of the team's management and distrust of his current teammates.

So he chose not to answer this flawed digging question, even if he did have a falling out with Arenas, but he couldn't directly say that the other party was not in front of the media.

Making contradictions public will only intensify contradictions, but will not resolve them.

"Lee, how do you think your team has changed from the last meeting?" The third reporter's question was very level, and even Li Kaiming nodded secretly.

Look at the people! If you don't know how to ask questions, you can go and learn how to ask questions, digging pits are so low-level!

'We're playing a completely different way we've been before, we're looking for more shots from beyond the three-point line, we're able to hit the opposition from a farther away and make them change their defensive strategy because of that, we've lost a good guy but we've got a new killer, we're all in this together, everybody's aiming to win." Li Kaiming did not completely use the rhetoric to deal with the reporters this time, but also talked about some real things, as for how many real things there are, that is a matter of opinion......

Of course, this reporter will not let go of the Celtics, especially since Garnett has also expressed his opinion on Li Kaiming's All-Star votes before, in this case, how can reporters forget to interview Hard!

"Kevin, do you think the Wizards have changed from before? How do you make changes on the defensive end? ”

"There's no doubt that their lineup has changed, Coach Saunders has done a great job and they have limited quality on the inside, so they have increased their outside shots, which makes it difficult for us to defend them. Their three-point shot requires more attention, and too many teams have died on their three-point shot. Garnett replied earnestly with a glare.

"Before you said that Li Kaiming's all-star vote would be overtaken by Paul Pearce, but after the last result came out, Lee's votes have been close to yours, will you worry about being overtaken?"

Even though Garnett was dark enough, it was still obvious that his face had darkened all of a sudden.

Which pot is not opened, which pot is mentioned!
