Chapter 363: A Genius of Hard Work
After the game against the Hornets, the Wizards finally had time to adjust, and Sanders himself was tired, so he simply gave the team a day off.
Most of the players choose to sleep on this day as a way to recover from fatigue and injuries hidden within the body.
As for Li Kaiming, he didn't feel tired at all, and he trained in the gym outside while others were asleep.
However, his training is not iron, but mainly focused on the defensive end of the training, the interior defensive attributes suddenly skyrocketed, before the time was tight he was training on behalf of the game, and there was no systematic training, feel the changes in the body.
After training in the gym, Li Kaiming finally understood where the interior defense has improved, in addition to the attribute of defensive awareness that cannot be quantitatively evaluated, his physical feeling is that his bounce speed has improved, and the small range of turns or slides is much more flexible than before.
It will take some time for him to adjust to the physical enhancement changes, and once he fully adapts to this improvement, his interior defense should be at the level of the best defensive team.
The sudden addition of an All-Defensive line-up level inside gate will definitely bring a qualitative change to the Wizards' defense.
Not to mention being promoted to the top of the league, at least it can reach the middle and lower reaches, not the bottom of the break level like the original.
Since the place where Li Kaiming came was a public gym, he quickly attracted people's attention.
However, he did not come up directly to interrupt Li Kaiming's training without a long eye, but stood from a distance and watched.
Many people also took out their mobile phones, took photos of Li Kaiming's training, and then posted them on social media.
The title is "People who are more talented than you work harder than you!" ”
This post quickly became the hottest post in the NbA section, and Li Kaiming's serious training won the favor of the majority of fans!
"I've seen too many talented players who started to indulge in enjoyment because they signed a contract of millions of dollars, and since then they have disappeared into the long river of history. Li Kaiming's performance on the court is a hundred times better than the guys I mentioned, but he still trains hard......"
"This guy's professional attitude and hard work are definitely the top in NbA, I have seen reports from reporters that no one in the Wizards team can completely train with Li Kaiming, and his intensity is unbearable for others!"
"He's going to make a name for himself!"
"Dude, he's already famous, isn't he? All-Star starters, if even this is not famous, then 99% of the league is considered garbage! ”
"Haha, my pot! He's really playing really well, but I'm sure he can achieve more......"
Li Kaiming didn't expect that he would be on the hot search when he was idle and went to the gym to train.
After training, he signed up for a few enthusiastic fans and ran back to the hotel.
Since he entered the All-Star starter, he can no longer enjoy the thrill of shopping alone!
Who understands this kind of pain!
Elliott Williams: If you don't like it, I can bear the pain for you......
After a day's rest, the Wizards are back at home, where they will once again take on old rivals the Orlando Magic.
In this regard, Gilbert Arenas said, even the Chriss cannon can win the Wizards, and my Magic team is not a championship team?
It's a pity that it backfired, and Li Kaiming answered Arenas's question with practical actions.
There are some things that I don't give, you can't take!
Anyone can lose, but you can't lose to Arenas!
What's more, after three days of rest, the Wizards players have long since returned to their peak condition, and they are not the remnants of their teammates when they played against the Hornets.
In the end, the game ended, and the Wizards easily defeated the Magic team 110-92, giving Arenas another stab in his fragile heart!
Li Kaiming scored 29 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists and 1 block, and it is worth mentioning that the only block was for Arenas......
At this time, Arenas wanted to die, thinking that he left the Wizards team to join the Magic team, and was a poor daughter-in-law who married into a wealthy family, but he didn't expect the Wizards team to soar without him, and now it is still second in the East.
And the "giant" Orlando Magic has fallen to sixth in the East at this time.
Who is the rich......
At this time, Arenas had already experienced the feeling of participating in the fruit army in 49, but unfortunately he did not regret taking medicine in this world.
The rest of the matches were all very familiar opponents.
After an away win over the Atlanta Hawks on Feb. 5, Li Kaiming had a bad game, but he managed to turn into a sexy dealer at the top of the arc and won the game with the outburst of his teammates.
After the whole game, Li Kaiming cut a super big triple-double of 15 points, 18 rebounds and 17 assists, which made Dream Green, who was far away in Michigan, see that dNA was moved......
After a four-day break, he won the Milwaukee Bucks on the road, and the real James James Jennings spoke before the game to win the Wizards, but Li Kaiming came up and gave the James two big hats to lay the foundation for this game.
In the subsequent game, Li Kaiming completely dominated both offensive and defensive ends, and there were no dead ends on the offensive end, with or without the ball. On the defensive end, he turned into a rim gate, giving the Bucks those who like to hit the basket dizzy and star-stared, and they couldn't see where their baskets were.
In the end, Li Kaiming scored 32 points, 15 rebounds, 7 assists and 4 blocks in the game, which gave Zhan Huang and his teammates a long memory.
In the future, those surnamed Zhan will take a detour when they see someone surnamed Li......
Far away in Miami, a black man who looks like a silverback gorilla suddenly sneezes!
After taking Milwaukee, the Wizards, who had been relaxed for a while, finally ushered in a big demon king!
Home to the San Antonio Spurs!
This is also the last matchup between the two sides this season, and in the last game, Li Kaiming was educated by the veteran Duncan.
Although he also scored more than 30 points in the end, and Duncan only scored 20 points, Li Kaiming, as a party, can clearly feel the gap between himself and Duncan.
His 30 points were a lot of hurting shots in exchange for points, and compared to Duncan's idea that every ball was the best option, he just won the stats.
It can also be seen from that game that the limitation of data is still very large, and Li Kaiming can beat the current Duncan than data, but if it is more than the victory contribution, it is really hard to say.
For basketball, data is secondary, winning is the last word, and data is just a by-product of the pursuit of winning.
If someone really takes data as their career goal, they will definitely be laughed at when they say it!
Nobody really plays just for the stats, no, no, no......
In this game against the Spurs, the Wizards took out twelve points of energy from top to bottom, mainly because they lost too much last time and were inexplicably defeated.
This time the Wizards made a comeback with a rage, and the two sides set up a position in the mcI center, and the game was about to start!
The Spurs came up and wanted to repeat the old trick, play an inside and outside match, and then pass the ball to Duncan, who was stuck in position.
After Duncan got the ball, he was still the same as in the previous game, his back arched inward, Li Kaiming hit it twice and found that he couldn't stand it, and then suddenly withdrew the stool!
Duncan happened to exert a force, not hitting Li Kaiming, but his ability to maintain balance was very strong, and he quickly controlled his body, and then turned around and throw!
This opportunity is very good, if it was Li Kaiming before, it should be impossible to prevent after withdrawing, but after the interior defense was improved, Li Kaiming used his super fast speed to make up for the space to withdraw, he stretched out his finger and touched it, just poking Duncan's shot!
Affected by this, Duncan's shot barely smashed to the front of the basket, and Blatch next to him protected the backcourt rebound.
Duncan's eyes widened and he looked at Li Kaiming in surprise......
Li Kaiming ran towards the front court expressionlessly, but in fact, he was still very happy in his heart.
Being able to shock the all-time number one striker with defense is a thing to be proud of.
After arriving at the frontcourt, Li Kaiming and Hinrich turned around, and Li Kaiming went down to the waist position and pulled Duncan away to break through Hinrich.
The latter held the ball to the interior and scored 2 points with a throw.
Without Duncan, the Spurs' interior defense dropped a notch, and it's no exaggeration at all.
But turning his head, Duncan taught Li Kaiming a lesson again.
Last time, Li Kaiming suddenly withdrew the stool and caught Duncan off guard, this time he went directly to the inside line after asking for the ball with his back, and after reaching the deepest point, he stuck Li Kaiming with his broad shoulders, and then hit the board with a half turn!
Li Kaiming sighed, he really couldn't do anything about Duncan when he hit him like this, after all, Duncan at this age, everything has declined, and his strength is still top-notch.
However, Li Kaiming is not a dry meal, although the improvement of defense cannot completely prevent Duncan, but at least it can make him less efficient.
And the situation did develop as Li Kaiming expected, Duncan played a few at the beginning, and then he didn't play much, and the Spurs still focused on teamwork.
Playing in the back, basically everyone in the Spurs can score a dozen points.
The difference between the two sides remained within five points until the last two minutes of the game.
Li Kaiming was anxious, but he didn't act rashly.
Sanders had told him before the game that he had to stay calm in today's game and give the ball to Hinrich if he felt like he was on top, and Hinrich would not make a mistake.
At this time, the Wizards temporarily led by 3 points, and Li Kaiming served to Hinrich from the baseline, who held the ball to the frontcourt, and after dribbling the ball outside to direct the Wizards players to run, he blocked and dismantled Li Kaiming again.
Hinrich and Li Kaiming's pick-and-roll is the Wizards' most powerful weapon, and it has been tried and tested.
Li Kaiming chose to dismantle again, but Duncan hesitated for a moment, but still followed.
Hinrich used the space of the cover to kill directly to the inside, and then scored with a one-handed throw!
Popovich on the sidelines had a gloomy face.
The Spurs sent the ball to Ginobili, and after he and Duncan blocked it, Li Kaiming did not follow Duncan out, but stood under the basket to protect the basket.
Ginobili made a serpentine layup and hit the iron under the influence of Li Kaiming, who turned around to protect the rebound and handed it to Hinrich again.
The Wizards repeated their old tricks, the other three people pulled away from the outside, Li Kaiming covered and then dismantled outside, Duncan chose to protect the frame under the basket this time, Hinrich broke through to the inside line and distributed the ball to Li Kaiming, who received the ball and shot steadily in the face of the pounce!
Final word!
At this time, Li Kaiming somewhat understood the true meaning of basketball as a team sport.
In the end, the game was over, and the Wizards won 108-101 at home against the Spurs.
