Chapter 445: This Is My Horse

This wave of heat about Li Kaiming lasted for three full days in Amelica, and there were all kinds of discussions about him every day in the past three days, and it is said that some media have begun to rank Li Kaiming first among the players this season, but after all, there are only a few people who do this, and basically some small media with little attention, who want to take advantage of this heat to publish a little violent commentary, and then attract attention.

The real big media have set their sights on the next finals, and the showdown between Kevin Durant and Li Kaiming, the two unicorn fronts of the new century, is very interesting in the eyes of many people.

Both are players with an actual height of more than two meters, but the style of play is more biased towards the outside, before Li Kaiming did not appear, Durant is unique in NbA history, and now Li Kaiming, who has the same style and looks more perverted, has appeared, and the two also met in the finals, which is indeed a feast for people who really like basketball.

What's more, now that Kobe Bryant and others in the last era have come to the later stages of their careers, NbA just lacks a real leader, that is, the "first person in the league" in the mouth of fans, before this, LeBron James had the highest voice.

It's a pity that James, who won two mVp in the regular season, didn't win the championship, and it is not impossible to be promoted to the first place in the league, but he always lacks a little dry goods to prove himself.

Originally, fans would think that after James formed the Big Three, he would naturally win the championship, and then take advantage of this shareholder style to cooperate with the publicity, successfully ascend to the top and become the real first person in the league, but unfortunately a Li Kaiming was killed halfway.

So now the question comes, who wins the championship between Li Kaiming and Durant, who will become the pioneer of the next era and become the real number one in the league!

In 1978, the Washington Bullets defeated the SuperSonics to win the only championship trophy in team history, and the next year, the two teams met again on the stage of the finals, this time the SuperSonics came to the end and won the only championship in team history!

Before this year, the two teams happened to go back and forth, each winning each other once, which is comparable, and after the finals this year, one of the teams will break the record of not winning the championship for more than 30 years in team history, and at the same time successfully hit the original opponent in the finals, which is simply a script prepared by history!

Therefore, this game is a very interesting round of games, whether it is based on reality, historical grievances, or even from the style of play.

Three days have passed, and Li Kaiming's popularity has not completely cooled down, and the finals have come!

On June 12, 2012, the first game of the NbA Finals officially kicked off at the mcI Center, the home of the Wizards!

The starting lists for both sides have been announced before the game, Washington Wizards: point guard Kirk Simridge, point guard Klay Thompson, small forward Cowhi Leonard, power forward Li Kaiming, center Andre Blach.

Oklahoma City Thunder, point guard Russell Westbrook, point guard Tabo Seforrosa, small forward Kevin Durant, power forward Sergei Baka, center Kendrick Perkins.

Tonight's commentator is also a very heavyweight match, the combination of Wizards home commentator Justin Kutcher and tNt's chief commentator Mav Albert plus Steve Cole, it looks like a king bomb, but this has reached the finals, and it is normal to come up with the commentary lineup of this combination.

In the signal broadcast by Huaguo, the on-site commentators are still Zhang Weiping and Yu Jia, and the pre-game analysis is still Yu Jialai, who is also fully prepared.

"In my opinion, the Wizards have a greater advantage in the lineup than the Thunder, they have Leonard who is very strong in defense at the small forward position, and the combination of Li Kaiming and Bradge on the inside is stronger than the combination of Ibaka and Perkins in both offense and defense, so in my opinion, as long as Coach Sanders plays normally and the Wizards players play at the level of the Eastern Conference Finals, the victory in this game belongs to the Wizards."

Zhang Weiping also looked at the Curious Talent team, "The Wizards should play to their interior strengths, and the threat of Li Kaiming and Bradge on the inside can also bring open shooting opportunities to the outside shooters." ”

While the two were talking, tonight's game had already begun, and Sanders, with the advantage of height and arm length, defeated Perkins with a jump ball and put the ball into Li Kaiming's hands.

The ball was given to Hinrich, the Wizards attacked first in the half, and the first game of the series, of course, came up mainly to try, so Li Kaiming went to the top of the arc to block and dismantle Hinrich, and the Wizards chose a very ordinary tactic to start.

Westbrook was a little confused when he encountered cover as always, and Ibaka, who was obviously standing on the inside, shouted to bypass, but the turtle still chose to squeeze the cover with his head, and was unsurprisingly stuck by Li Kaiming.

Wei Shao was stuck behind, Li Kaiming turned and went down, and Hinrich rushed forward with the ball, forming a two-on-one advantage in the local area.

Of course, Ibaka knew that Li Kaiming's threat was greater, so he focused most of his attention on Li Kaiming, Li Kaiming rushed to the inside line directly against Ibaka, so Hinrich was directly released in the middle distance, he put the ball together with both hands and threw it in one step in the penalty area, and the Wizards won the first point of the finals.

The Thunder team's baseline serve attacked, Wei Shao came up and was beaten by Hinrich using the block, naturally he was unhappy, so he waved his hand directly at his teammates, and he was about to single out Hinrich.

Faced with the choice of the turtle, Hinrich was also undaunted, stepped on the three-point line to lower the center of gravity, put on a defensive posture, and waited for Wei Shao to rush inside.

At this time, Wei Shao is young and frivolous, both physically and mentally are on the rise, even in the face of the league's famous old oil defender, he is not afraid, after a simple change of direction, his feet are like stepping on a spring to drill into the penalty area!

Although Hinrich's defensive skills are very good, sometimes the skills of the general player are very effective, and he is afraid of facing the stunned green, and Wei Shao is undoubtedly a stunned young man, from appearance to personality, from talking to playing, there is a stunned word on the whole body!

Of course, this stunned is not a derogatory kind of stunned, it is the meaning of going straight, Wei Shao entered the alliance with a nickname called "Little Ross", it can be seen how fast it is, Xin Li Qi only followed the first step, and then the second step was thrown away by Wei Shao, after breaking through Xin Liqi's defense, Wei Shao rushed to the basket with his neck, and Li Kaiming next to him directly let go of the opposite Ibaka, and then came to help defend.

Seeing Li Kaiming coming, Wei Shao was not afraid at all, but instead drew a bow in the air, his body tensed and jumped high, and he actually wanted to detain Li Kaiming!

Hum! It's okay to deduct someone else, can I deduct it if you want to? Li Kaiming sneered in his heart, jumped up with both feet, and then stretched out his hand to directly intercept Wei Shao's dunk in the air, and by the way, he slapped the latter to the ground!

Leonard next to him rushed over and grabbed the ball and handed it to Hinrich, the Wizards launched a fast attack, Li Kaiming rushed to the front, Hinrich saw that the distance was almost there, so he made a long pass directly, the target was directly to the basket, Li Kaiming took the last few steps, took off in a big stride in the free throw line, grabbed Hinrich's pass in the air, and then dunked with both hands!

4 to 0!

The smooth fast break and wonderful dunk made the mcI center burst into cheers!

It looks like the Wizards have pressed the Thunder at the beginning, and the championship is hopeful!

Of course, this Thunder team is not easy to mess with if it can defeat the giants of the West, especially their star Kevin Durant has not yet made a move.

Seeing that the Wizards had played with momentum, after the Thunder served over half court, Kevin Durant was ready to stand up to help the team stabilize the situation, he asked for the ball with one hand, and Wei Shao naturally passed it to him.

As soon as Durant got the ball, a facial paralysis forced up, and Durant experienced this facial paralysis defense in the regular season, so he was also very serious at this time, first three threats in place, and then suddenly a big loop!

Honk!

The referee on the sideline immediately blew the whistle, and the power of the Golden Penalty King really deserved its name, and Leonard had not yet come to the confrontation to directly make three free throws!

Of course, the fans at the mcI Center didn't do it, and this special body hair whistle blew to the Wizards' home court, so a large number of spectators began to curse the referee while booing Durant who made free throws.

However, Durant just shook his shoulders and easily hit three free throws, 4-3!

The Wizards are still mainly playing inside, Li Kaiming, as the operation center of the outside and interior lines, played an important role in the first quarter, Ibaka is a very good player in the protective frame, and the bounce is also very good, but the Thunder's two interior lines have a common problem that they are not tall.

So Li Kaiming took advantage of his height to play alone or pass to Blatch on the inside, and then forced Perkins to eat under the basket, and quickly opened the score, and at the end of the first quarter, the Wizards led by 5 points 30-25.

In the first half of the second quarter, Sanders replaced Li Kaiming to let the rotation lineup play, and the Thunder won the sixth man of the season James Harden, and after the first master appeared, the first 6 minutes of the second quarter played for nearly 20 minutes, and Deng Ge was either on the free throw or on the way to the free throw.

Fortunately, the referee also knows that his dog life is important, and he can't just let the Thunder players go to the free throw line at the Wizards' home court, so the scale of the game in the second quarter is very tight, and there are many times when an offensive round can sound several whistles, and it will be bonus in just 4 minutes, that is, if there is any foul after that, it will go directly to the free throw line.

Fortunately, this scene only lasted for half a quarter, and after the starters of both sides returned one after another, the game returned to the level of the Finals, and in the second quarter, the Thunder strengthened their interior defense and began to shrink inside.

And this situation is Sanders and Li Kaiming are happy to see, the Wizards' five-out lineup began to exert force, Thompson, Hinrich, Lewis and others hit three-pointers on the outside one after another, the Thunder side can only rely on Durant and Wei Shao two people to score, two fists are difficult to beat four hands, especially the Wizards Li Kaiming also made up from time to time, resulting in the second quarter quickly opened the score.

At the end of the first half, the Wizards led the Thunder by 13 points at 59-46, and it can be seen from the half-court offense that the Thunder team's configuration could not prevent the Wizards' offense at all, and the Heat team played 7 games, only when Li Kaiming scored 37 points at halftime when he grabbed seven, and the team's total score exceeded 60, and the first game of the finals Wizards scored 59 at halftime, and the audience did not feel any explosion on the offensive end of the Wizards......

Even Zhang Weiping in the broadcast area smiled and said euphemistically, "The defensive pressure on the Wizards from the Thunder is not as strong as the Heat, I don't know if they didn't show their full form in the first game, if they are at this level, then this championship is in the bag of the Wizards......"

Coming back in the second half, Durant began to break out, in the eyes of the arrogant Durant, he couldn't lose to anyone surnamed Li, so at the beginning of the third quarter, he burst out and made fouls, scored 7 points in a row, narrowing the difference to 6 points, just when the mcI center was beaten by Durant and was a little silent, Li Kaiming, who had been paddling for a long time, stood up!

The tiger is not powerful, you and I are Hello Kitty!

In my territory, I have to teach you a good lesson and let you know whose house this mcI center is!

In the face of the Thunder's two inside lines, Li Kaiming began a ruthless back play and offensive basket, giving Ibaka 3 fouls and Perkins 2 fouls in just one quarter, scoring 15 points in a single quarter, leading the team to pull the score away again......

At the end of the game, Li Kaiming scored 38 points, 12 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 blocks, leading the team to a comfortable 117-102 victory over the Thunder and winning the first game of the finals, leaving only 3 wins from the O'Brien Cup.
