Chapter 412: Training Rookie

Thompson's three-pointer extended the margin to five points, and Nets head coach Avery Johnson greeted Deron Williams on the court and told him to play a few rounds in earnest.

The Nets hit a shot when they came up, and the rest of the offense either ended in a mistake or an iron, much to the displeasure of Coach Johnson.

Deron Williams is also not very happy with the team's performance, he averaged 20 points, 4 rebounds and 10.5 assists per game last season, ranking high in the league's assists list, indicating that he is a player who is good at leading his teammates.

And his strength is also among the top point guards in the league, and the reason the Jazz traded him was that he had a discordant relationship with the team's head coach Jerry Sloan, which led to the direct resignation of Sloan, who had coached the Jazz for 23 years.

Sloan is the greatest head coach in Jazz history and one of the fifth 1,000-win coaches in NBA history, and he is the undoubted soul of the Jazz, forcing out Sloan's Deron Williams to be ruthlessly traded to the Nets by the Jazz.

Now with a new team, although the team lineup is completely incomparable to the Jazz, why doesn't Deron Williams want to prove himself in the Nets?

The only way for him to prove the Jazz management's choice wrong is to lead the Nets to a good performance.

Thinking of this, Deron Williams dribbled to the frontcourt, called center Petro out to block and dismantle, and then went directly to the inside with the help of cover, because Delon hit a mid-distance in the last round, so Bradge followed this time, although DeLong is a tank guard, but the speed is still much faster than Braczy as a center, and he directly uses speed to lead Bracky by one position.

Li Kaiming, who was standing on the wing, saw that the situation was not good, and immediately went over to help Blatch make up for the defense, and Deron Williams saw Li Kaiming let go of his own people, and directly hit the earth to the Nets power forward Humphreys.

Humphreys was the 14th pick in the first round in 2004, and last season he averaged a double-double of 10 points and 10 rebounds per game, which is decent, at least not the kind of player who is let go.

After receiving a pass from Deron Williams, Humphreys dribbled to find his rhythm, took a step closer to the basket and then shot directly from mid-range, Li Kaiming quickly returned to the defense but was still a step slower, and was scored by Humphreys's mid-range shot.

Humphreys roared in celebration after the shot was hit, as if he had just dunked Li Kaiming instead of a mid-range shot.

Deron Williams reached out to Humphreys, and the two of them high-fived in celebration, and a feeling of conquering the center of mcI with a beautiful fit came to their hearts.

The Wizards served, and it was still Li Kaiming who blocked and dismantled the frontcourt, and the Nets were also prepared this time, after all, how could a professional team fall in the same pit in a row, Thompson's off-ball run did not throw off the defender, and the Nets used a small delay to help Evan Turner catch up with Thompson.

At this time, Hinrich on the outside passed the ball to Li Kaiming, and Li Kaiming was observing the situation near the free throw line, Thompson and Hinrich on the outside had no chance, and there were two people on his side eyeing him.

At this moment, Leonard, who had just helped Thompson cover without the ball, suddenly squeezed Damion James away, and then began to cut to the basket.

Li Kaiming's eyes flashed, from the defender's head a high lob ball stuffed under the basket, the ball passed at the same time, Leonard also happened to enter the restricted area, he stuck the basketball with a pair of big hands, and then went directly to the basket.

Damion James, who was following him, saw that he had completely lost his defensive position, so he simply fouled directly, pulled Leonard who was making a layup, and the referee whistle blew and Leonard made free throws.

When his teammates make free throws, Li Kaiming usually stands in the backcourt and beware of the fast break on the opposite side, because he is the fastest and has a very strong blocking ability.

Standing at the free-throw line, Leonard adjusted his breathing, then lifted the ball with a straight face, and flicked his wrist like a robot.

Boom!

A crisp iron sound sounded, and Sanders on the sidelines covered his eyes!

Two free throws to one, this guy's basket still has to practice, otherwise the opponent may cut Leonard at a critical moment after this shooting percentage.

But the facts show that Sanders's idea is still too optimistic, although the first free throw did not seem to have any effect on Leonard's psychology, but the results show that he is still very nervous, because he did not score the second free throw!

Li Kaiming, who was standing in the backcourt, had a dark face, good guy, Xiaoka, you are a Mamba disciple, right? Striking iron is quite familiar!

Damion James was grinning so much that he couldn't score two free throws, this foul was worth it!

It seems that the facial paralysis he is facing can't attack at all, and he can't even understand the free throws, what offensive skills can you expect him to have?

Nets Humphreys protected the rebound, and then handed it to Deron Williams over the half, the rest of the Nets also ran to the frontcourt, Evanturner reached out to Deron Williams outside the three-point line to ask for the ball, the rookie just now actually threw in a three-pointer, he had to hit back!

Evan Turner's heart was very angry!

It's okay to be bullied by Li Kaiming, and now even the next rookie dares to ride on my neck to make a fortune, is this worth it?

I can't beat Li Kaiming, I can't beat you?

So after Deron Williams passed the ball to Evan Turner, the latter pulled it up directly from outside the three-point line and threw it, Thompson's defense was actually in place, but Turner was a high pick rookie and played for a year, and the ball was still thrown in by him!

7-7 draw! The 5-point advantage was wiped out in a blink of an eye, but Sanders on the sidelines did not have any anger on his face, because he knew that there was still a big demon in the team who had not played.

Li Kai really didn't make any shots, and he was basically feeding the two rookies as soon as the game started, so that they could find the feeling of being in the professional arena.

After all, these two people have high hopes for him and Sanders, just like two babies in swaddling clothes, they need to be cared for, and they can't be in a hurry at all.

If you are really in a hurry, you can learn from some superstars to directly sell high-ranking rookies and replace them with famous superstars, which is also a way, but unfortunately Li Kaiming is hard and can't learn this kind of operation.

The Wizards served the baseline ball, and after arriving in the frontcourt, Li Kaiming directly stuck the position in the waist position with his back, and then received a pass from Hinrich from the outside.

Humphreys behind him resisted Li Kaiming hard, his eyes were full of perseverance and toughness!

Everyone who has never been against Li Kaiming has this illusion, thinking that he is the legendary Son of Destiny, the only person on this planet who can restrain Li Kaiming, but he didn't have this opportunity before.

Humphreys was no exception, he used his torso to resist Li Kaiming, while stretching out his arm to interfere with the latter's vision, and imagined that Li Kaiming's shot would be stopped by him later.

While Li Kaiming and Humphreys were playing, the rest of the Wizards were also on the move.

Leonard and Brackey, who were not outside threats, stood inside the three-point line as stakes, and Hinrich and Thompson began to run around the screen in various ways.

In the end, Thompson's running awareness was more outstanding, he went around in a big circle from behind Bradge and then suddenly stopped and ran back, and Li Kaiming did not let go of the vacant opportunity at this moment, and directly passed the ball to Thompson with a hook hand.

Thompson's most appreciative point of Li Kaiming is that he dares to throw, and he doesn't hesitate to throw it at all, and he doesn't think about whether he felt good before, anyway, every shot is a new attempt!

Evan Turner also chased closely, almost as soon as Thompson took a shot, his hand covered the latter's eyes.

Bang!

The basketball bounced off the hoop but didn't fall in.

Evan Turner and Humphreys both laughed!

Humphreys said in his heart, sure enough, I am the child of destiny, Li Kaiming, who cuts points like vegetables in the league, doesn't even dare to make a shot under my defense, only passes the ball to his teammates!

And Evan Turner is heart, sure enough, no matter how bad my brother is, he is not a rookie who can compare, I want to score a goal in my face, boy, you go to practice for a few more years!

A defense helped the two Nets players find confidence, and I'm afraid even Nets head coach Johnson couldn't imagine that the effect that his chicken soup couldn't achieve was actually achieved by Li Kaiming and Thompson with one ball......

The Nets handed the ball to Deron Williams to the frontcourt, and the center stepped up to block the pick-and-roll, but Blatch alerted Hinrich just in time, who turned his body early to prevent getting stuck by Petro.

And Deron Williams is a reverse breakthrough, directly throwing off Hinrich to break through to the inside, at this time Blatch and Hinrich are on the line, only Li Kaiming is alone in the penalty area, so he let go of Humphreys again to help defend DeLong, who pretended to make a layup but actually passed the ball to Humphreys from behind, and the latter caught the ball and hit the board.

7 to 9! The Nets scored 7 points in a row to overtake!

Hey!

Humphreys shouted, and an unrivaled momentum emanated from his body, causing the entire mcI center to tremble!

Good guy, it's just 4 points in a row, as for it......

In this case, of course, Li Kaiming has to stand up, and it is almost the same to feed the two rookies, the premise of cultivating rookies is not to lose, and now that the team is behind, of course he needs to stand up and score.

Moreover, this guy in the opposite position seems to be a little crazy, and he must pour a basin of cold water on this guy's head, so that he can sober up and know who he is, who is on the other side, and what kind of place this is!

After arriving in the front court, Li Kaiming asked for the ball with his back again, and Humphreys repeated his old trick while resisting hard while interfering with the line of sight.

But this time Li Kaiming never had the idea of passing, he first made a small turn to the right side, confusing Humphreys's defensive center of gravity, and then suddenly used his left foot as the axis, stretched out his left arm as a ball protector and waved back, stuck Humphreys's chase and killed the basket in one step.

At this time, before the big man center of the Nets had time to turn around, Li Kaiming directly dunked with both hands!

9-9 draw!

The mcI center cheered a little because of this dunk, mainly because Li Kaiming's ball is no longer strange, and there is no need to celebrate.

Of course, one offense can't satisfy Li Kaiming, and his plan for this season's regular season is very clear, keeping the record while training two rookies as much as possible, so what he has to do is to maintain the Wizards' lead in the game, and then use the lead to make Thompson and Leonard feel ......

So in the next half quarter, Li Kaiming chose to take his own shot to lead his teammates, and at the end of the first quarter, the Wizards led the Nets by 4 points at 26-22, and the playing time of the two rookies was six minutes, Thompson hit a three-pointer, Leonard didn't score a point, but had 2 steals.
