Two days later, on April 18, in the first round of the NbA Eastern Conference playoffs, the second game of the Washington Wizards vs. Atlanta Hawks series.

At the pre-game press conference, when asked by reporters how Eagles head coach Larry Deru would limit Li Kaiming in this game, Larry Deru had a winner's smile on his face.

"Lee is a very good player, he can shoot in every corner of the court, and defending him is a top priority for us before the game. Al Horford did a good job in the last game, he did everything he could to prevent Li Kaiming from receiving the ball and then not letting him cause damage in our box, and I'm sure Al will do the same tonight. ”

The reporter asked Larry Drew how it felt to win the first game of the series, and Larry Drew shook his head and replied, "Very lucky, we came together to get a very difficult win on the road, but the series is not over, we have a lot to do, we have to win four games in this series, and we have only completed one of the four so far." ”

Hawk King Joe Johnson, who scored 26 points in the last game, also gave an interview, "The opponent will definitely make adjustments after the defeat, we have to be vigilant on the court, there are some dangerous guys in the opposite lineup, once we let our guard down, he can step up in just a few minutes and then score in a row." ”

Tonight's game, the Wizards' fans are still very full, and although their home team did not perform well in the last game, the people of Washington will not give up on their team easily.

In the dressing room before the game, after Sanders finished talking about tonight's tactics, Li Kaiming took the lead in standing up.

"oK, guys, I don't have to watch to know what the media are saying about us now, but it doesn't matter, the important thing is that we are on the field, we don't follow the rhythm of the other side, if you don't know what to do, then give me the ball and I'll solve all the problems!"

After finishing speaking, Li Kaiming walked out of the locker room.

Looking at Li Kaiming's back, the rest of the people in the locker room looked at each other, why is this guy like a different person today?

Yes, tonight Li Kaiming decided to take the initiative, passively waiting for the opposite attack is not his style, he wants to take the initiative of the game into his own hands.

At 7:30 p.m., after all the pre-game preparations were over, the referee blew the whistle and threw the ball into the air, and Bracchi once again won the first attack.

However, this time the mcI center is not as excited as last time, and there are only a few cheers in the entire arena, and it seems that although the fans are still here to support the Wizards, they are also much calmer than the last game.

After Li Kaiming arrived in the frontcourt, he took the initiative to ask for the ball outside the three-point line, and Hinrich passed the ball to him and pulled away from the position, leaving space for Li Kaiming to play alone.

The Hawks still use Horford as a single defense, and after a full game against each other in the last game, Horford already had experience, so he immediately stepped up.

Li Kaiming suddenly got off the ball and broke through to the right side, but he only took a step out, and was blocked by Horford directly with his arm!

However, this kind of action that must be blown and blocked in the regular season, the referee on the sideline just glanced at it, and did not say anything, Li Kaiming dribbled behind his back to avoid Horford's hand that tried to steal, and then changed direction sharply, and at the same time supported his left arm as a ball protector, and his arm directly blocked Horford's arm, and then hit the three-point line.

The rest of the Hawks didn't help Horford defend, and Li Kaiming managed to break through to the box.

When it came to the center's turf, Collins under the basket couldn't sit still, so he directly pushed Bradge with his back, and then put half of his attention on Li Kaiming.

He wanted to give Li Kaiming a little threat and let the latter slow down so that Horford, who was following behind, could return to his normal defensive position.

But tonight's Li Kaiming came with a killing heart, and when he arrived in this position, why did he stop the ball?

I saw that Li Kaiming's speed did not decrease but increased, and he strode directly to the basket.

Collins was taken aback when he saw this, and then he realized that Li Kaiming was real, so he directly let go of Blatch to protect the basket.

However, Li Kaiming had no fear on his face, put the ball together with both hands, lifted the ball above his head, and then rushed to the basket without hesitation.

Collins under the basket relied on his height of 213 and wanted to press the ball directly, but he seemed to have forgotten one thing, Li Kaiming is the new dunk king.

So in the broadcast footage, you can clearly see that Collins's expression changed from indifferent to surprised, Li Kaiming collided with Collins in the air, and then used his height advantage to dunk the ball into the basket through Collins!

"Oh roar! Tonight's Li Kaiming is full of murder! He opened the game with the first goal of blocking Collins on the opposite side! Tonight's home commentator, Justin Kutcher, started yelling into the microphone.

The goal also managed to bring the momentum back to the mcI Center, and the fans watched the replay on the big screen and then started cheering for the home team!

Larry Drew, who was standing in front of the away team's bench, frowned, and it was not good news for the opponent to come up first, so he made a gesture to Al Horford on the field and asked the latter to strengthen the defense.

Looking back, the Hawks attacked, the ball was given to Josh Smith who cut into the penalty area, Li Kaiming was very focused next to him, and let go of Horford between the flashes, and then rushed over to a volleyball cap to fan Smith's layup out of the bottom line!

The mcI center was filled with screams and applause!

This is the game that Wizards fans want to see, and this is the Li Kaiming who was decisive in the regular season!

The Hawks sent the ball in the front court, Joe Johnson didn't have enough time to receive the ball, and missed the shot in a hurry, Li Kaiming jumped high under the basket, picked up the rebound between Blatch and Collins, and then held the ball himself through the half!

The Hawks knew that they couldn't let Li Kaiming push the fast attack, so Horford came directly to block Li Kaiming, but the latter's speed was too fast to withstand it at all, and Horford directly pulled Li Kaiming down with a deliberate foul!

This is the playoffs! Even the opening doesn't make it easy for you to play fast break!

The Wizards sent the ball in the frontcourt, Li Kaiming asked for the ball directly on the outside, and then took advantage of Horford's lack of attention, pulled it up outside the three-point line and threw it!

Swish!

Basketball hollow into the net, Li Kaiming scored 5 points in a row!

The mcI Center is already boiling and their heroes are dominating the game as soon as they come up!

But Li Kaiming didn't have any celebratory posture and expression, his face was still silent, but almost everyone could see the anger and murderous aura hidden in his eyes!

Larry Drew wanted to call a timeout, but the imagination was still over, it was just a one-man outburst on the other side, and it wasn't a tactical hole, so it wasn't worth paying a timeout for it.

But it's very open, and Larry Drew has paid a heavy price for his trust!

The Hawks served past half-court and ran to the basket without a chance, and the ball was given to Joe Johnson to single Nick Young, who hit a jumper from mid-range despite Nick Young's full defense.

The Wizards' serve to the front court is still handed over to Li Kaiming, and this time Horford is standing outside, and it seems that Li Kaiming is not allowed to shoot three points, forcing him to go to the basket.

But Li Kaiming is a person who can't learn to bend over, you don't let me shoot three points, Lao Tzu wants to throw it, and he has to throw it in your face!

Horford thought that he had defended tightly enough, but he was also found by Li Kaiming, who took a step back to pull away, and Horford quickly chased after him.

But Li Kaiming made a move! Not only did you shoot, but you can also get in!

8 to 2!

Larry Drew clenched his palm tightly, and his heart said that this state would definitely not last long, and his feeling would drop soon!

The Hawks served and attacked, gave guard Jordan Crawford a breakthrough, and after getting to the basket, the layup was interfered with by Blatch, Li Kaiming grabbed the rebound again, and continued to dribble forward!

Horford immediately pressed over, but this time he didn't dare to foul directly, this was just the beginning of the first quarter, if there were two fouls then he wouldn't have to play tonight.

And even if you can't prevent it, this goal won't necessarily go in, right?

Horford also has the same luck mentality as Larry Drew.

However, after Li Kaiming dribbled to the frontcourt, under Horford's close defense, even other teammates did not follow to the frontcourt, so they directly pulled up and threw it outside the three-point line!

Horford's eyes are about to pop out!

What the hell is this NbA still fighting like this? I don't know, I still think I play a friendly match in the community?

Because Horford was so close, after Li Kaiming shot, his leg was hit by Horford, and then he fell to the ground directly.

With a crisp thud, there was a noticeable whistle at the same moment!

Honk!

3+1！

Larry Drew's intestines are about to repent, and he didn't call a timeout in advance, now it's okay, the timeout didn't come down, and Horford committed two fouls in less than 4 minutes of the opening game!

Regret it! Larry Drew can't wait to slap his thigh with his hand!

The Wizards were already in a frenzy on the bench, and after Larry Drew called a timeout, the bench players rushed over to greet Li Kaiming.

Li Kaiming was pushed by almost every substitute player!

However, there was still no expression on his face, because this was just the beginning!

After the timeout, the Hawks scored two points on offense, the Wizards sent a baseline ball, and Li Kaiming still wanted the ball after halftime!

Larry Deru on the sidelines was staring at Li Kaiming's movements, and in the timeout just now, he had already told his players the key points of defense, resolutely defending against three-point points, and covering the three-point line to assist in defense.

Horford's whole person was stuck to Li Kaiming like a dog skin plaster, and there was no space outside the three-point line.

But Li Kaiming didn't have any signs of passing, and in the face of the Eagles' double bag, he stopped his shot without hesitation!

After a standard elegant jump shot, Larry Deru's heart also completely cooled!

He knew that it would be impossible to win this game tonight!

At the end of the game, Li Kaiming slashed 48 points, 14 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks in the second game of the series, leading the team to a 115-103 victory over the Hawks, bringing the score to a 1-1 draw!

The two sides are back on the same starting line again!
