Chapter 489: Championship Ring

The other four players in the starting line had already played, and Li Kaiming was the only one left in the dark player tunnel, who stood in place and waited for a while, and finally heard the familiar voice of dJ on the scene.

"Last one, let's welcome, the Olympic champion from China! mVp! All-Star, Champion Member! Plum! Triumphant! Bright! ”

dJ stretched his voice, but when he spoke, the entire mcI center was already agitated, and when Li Kaiming's name was read out, the fans in Washington had already begun to shout in unison for the mVp, welcoming Li Kaiming's appearance!

“mVp! mVp! mVp! ”

Li Kaiming took a deep breath, and then slowly ran out along the players' tunnel, the enthusiastic fans on both sides of the tunnel stretched out a large hand, Li Kaiming high-fived some fans while running, and finally stood on the court in the shouts of the audience.

After the ceremony, the lights returned to normal and the players from both sides of the game came to their benches, at which point the official NbA staff and league president David Stern also took to the court, and then the excitement was followed by the presentation of last season's championship rings and the raising of the championship flag at the mcI Center!

Under the light of the O'Brien Cup, Li Kaiming received the precious championship ring from David Stern's hand.

Players who have played in the Finals will have their names engraved on their rings, as well as their performance in the Finals, and the championship rings are composed of 14K white gold, which is inlaid with dense precious diamonds, and in the center is a huge blue diamond composed of the Wizards' team crest.

As for Li Kaiming's element, there are more elements than others, because his ring has a small FmVp trophy shape on it, which can be regarded as a unique feature.

And the rest of the team also had happy smiles on their faces after receiving the championship ring, after all, most people here didn't expect that a team like the Wizards could win the championship.

After the ring was awarded, all the members of the Wizards put on the championship ring, and then around the championship trophy in the center, they stretched out their hands to the camera and showed the ring, leaving a very commemorative group photo.

After that, it was the flag-raising ceremony, witnessed by the audience and players from both sides, the Wizards' 2011-2012 championship flag was also operated by the staff, and slowly rose to the dome of the arena amid the cheers of the fans, and finally hung next to the 1977-1978 championship flag!

Seeing the flag fluttering above the stadium, Li Kaiming's heart also had a rare trace of pride!

This is the championship I have worked hard for!

From handing out the rings to raising the championship flag, everything was watched by the Cavaliers players opposite, and the Cavaliers players showed envy in their eyes, even head coach Brown Scott was not immune.

The joyous award ceremony ended, the opening match officially began, and the starting lineups of both sides were presented on the big screen in the arena.

Washington Wizards: Point guard Kirk Simridge, point guard Klay Thompson, small forward Cowhi Leonard, power forward Kaiming Lee, center Andre Blach.

Cleveland Cavaliers: Point guard Kyrie Irving, point guard Dion West, small forward Alonzoghi, power forward Tristan Thompson, center Andrew Valejo.

The centers of both sides stood in the center circle and prepared to jump the ball, the referee threw the ball into the sky with one hand, and a whistle blew, Bracch was faster than Vallejo's bounce speed, helping the Wizards win the first ball of the opening game!

The ball was given to Hinrich, who dribbled across the half court, Blatch went up to block the dismantling, the two of them turned to the free throw line, the Cavaliers contracted, and Hinrich gave the ball to the outside line and gave it to Li Kaiming, who was forty-five degrees on the side.

Tristan Thompson, who was against Li Kaiming, hurried over to defend, so Li Kaiming made a pass to Klay in the bottom corner, who took the ball and shot directly!

After two months of special training, Klay's body is not only in better shape than last season, but also hot, with a bang, the Wizards' first goal of the new season was won by Klay with a three-pointer!

3 to 0!

The Cavaliers attacked, Irving dribbled across the halfcourt, called Vallejo out to cover, and then a flower-wearing butterfly came out between Hinrich and Blatch, and then pulled up to the middle range and shot!

The basketball smashed on the basket, under the rebound, Tristan Thompson was not nervous at all in the face of Li Kaiming, and he was tough to have a battle with Li Kaiming about rebounding, but unfortunately the problem is that this guy's rebounding awareness is really good, but unfortunately his height is too short, and Li Kaiming is simply not in a position.

Coupled with Li Kaiming's bounce that can win the dunk king, he quickly took the lead in the rebounding competition and helped the team win the rebound.

The ball fed to Hinrich, who dribbled past half court, and Li Kaiming stuck Tristan Thompson in the low post, who was also eager to challenge his defense.

It's a pity that Li Kaiming turned around and threw it after receiving the ball, and when Tristan Thompson wanted to defend, Li Kaiming had already leaned back and shot, a beautiful arc crossed, and the basketball hollowed into the net!

5 to 0!

As soon as the Wizards came up, they were on fire, and their shooting felt hot!

On the Cavaliers' side, Irving naturally couldn't let his team fall behind, so he chose to stand up by himself, and in the face of Hinrich's single defense, he changed his direction to the middle distance and made a shooting move, Hinrich was shaken by him, and it turned out to be a hesitant feint by Irving, and then he turned to the basket to face Blatch and threw it in!

I have to say that Owen does have a set of difficult goals to play, and his actions are chic and smooth, no wonder his popularity is so high!

The next tactical offense of the Wizards was recognized by the Cavaliers, and the ball was given to the inside Li Kaiming heads-up, but the Cavaliers chose to wrap the bag, so Li Kaiming gave the ball to Leonard on the outside, and the robot shot confidently after receiving the ball, but unfortunately the shooting was still as unstable as ever, with a bang, the rebound was taken by Vallejo, Irving dribbled quickly, and shook off Hinrich in three slow steps to prepare for a layup, but was directly rejected by Li Kaiming, who had been following behind, with a pegboard hat!

The rebound was grabbed by Leonard, who was following behind, and at this time Li Kaiming was already about to fall, and Leonard threw the ball to the front court!

Li Kaiming only dribbled after receiving the ball, and then started to close the ball three steps from the three-point line, and met the Cavaliers' assistance defense in the middle distance, Li Kaiming wrapped the ball around his head, and at the same time, a European step directly cleaned the Cavaliers' players!

When it came to the basket, the Cavaliers had already left the Brazilian actor Valejo, so when they met, how could Li Kaiming not give this guy a welcome gift?

So he directly forced Valejo to be a divider!

The latter took three steps back and hit the basketball hoop before stopping!

Mr. Wa! All encounters in this world are reunions after a long absence, do you still like this meeting gift?

But looking at Valejo's expression, I guess I don't like it very much!

The Wizards and the Cavaliers lineup are not on the same level at all, the strongest in the Cavaliers is actually rookie Irving, who averaged 18.5 points per game last season, and everyone else averaged about 10 points per game.

In addition, the Wizards players got championship rings tonight, and the mood was extremely hot, except for Bradge, who was not on the inside, everyone hit a three-pointer in the first quarter, and the team also led the Cavaliers by 5 points 27-22.

In the second quarter, the two sides began to compete in the rotation lineup, and the Cavaliers were even more insufficient, and the Wizards' rotation phase led the team with Leonard, who faced the Cavaliers' forwards, which was simply a basketball machine.

In less than half a quarter, he snatched 2 balls from Alonzogi in the opposite position, and in addition to giving the latter 2 mistakes, Alonzogi passed the ball when he saw him, and he didn't even dare to take the ball.

By the time Sanders took the starting lineup again, the Wizards had stretched the difference to 9 points, so Li Kaiming didn't have to be polite, and scored 7 points in a row in the second half of the second quarter, which immediately allowed the Wizards to enter the halftime with a 12-point difference.

Even the on-site commentator of the mcI center sighed: "After winning the championship last season, the Wizards team this season seems to be stronger, free to retract, and even the defense that was criticized before can completely suppress the opposite side, who wants to win the championship this season, the Wizards are still their biggest opponent!" ”

The halftime ended quickly, and when the third quarter came back, Irving on the Cavaliers' side suddenly began to explode, he scored 7 points in a row on a burst shot, narrowing the gap to 5 points, and Sanders called a timeout to stabilize the situation, but the Wizards still did not panic at all.

Back in the game, Hinrich received the ball in the backcourt and dribbled across the half court, facing Irving's defense, this time playing blocking and dismantling with Li Kaiming.

Trastan Thompson was afraid that Li Kaiming would catch the ball and throw three points, so the defensive position was very outside, but Li Kaiming was a fake blocker, and after blocking it, he suddenly turned around and stepped into the restricted area in one step, and at the same time, Xinrich was also full of tacit understanding, throwing the ball in the direction of the basket!

Li Kaiming stepped on the floor of the penalty area and kicked off, and then glided in the air to catch the ball with both hands!

The Cavaliers still handed the ball to Irving to go head-to-head, and Irving still broke through Hinrich's defense with his superb passing skills, but in the timeout just now, Sandest deliberately emphasized the help defense for Irving, and at this time Li Kaiming directly let go of Tristan Thompson on the opposite side and pounced to block Irving's shot.

And Owen was also very crisp, seeing Li Kaiming coming over to make an adjustment in the air, he deliberately raised the arc and continued to shoot, the ball almost flew past Li Kaiming's fingertips, but this time the defense still affected Owen's feel, and after urgently adjusting the arc, the ball was short, and the rebound was grabbed by Blatch.

The Wizards' sudden intensification of defensive intensity stunned the Cavaliers, and after Irving scored seven points in a row, the Cavaliers ushered in a four-minute scoring drought under the Wizards' perverted defense.

In those four minutes, the Cavaliers were defended by the Wizards and scored a point, and in the end, it was Irving who stepped up and made a pull-up jump shot to break the scoring drought with a mid-range jumper, but by this time the Cavaliers were already trailing by 15 points......

The lineup gap between the two sides is here, as long as the Wizards don't deliberately mess up, it is still difficult for the Cavaliers to chase points, the 15-point gap looks small, but in the eyes of the Cavaliers, it is simply a trench, and it is simply insurmountable, until the 7th minute of the fourth quarter, the head coach of the Cavaliers found that he could not approach the score, so he directly called a timeout, replaced the main force, and surrendered with a white flag!

In the end, the game ended, and the Wizards won the Cavaliers 107-95 and made a good start to the new season!

Li Kaiming played 32 minutes and scored 29 points, 13 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 blocks and 1 steal, Leonard got 12 points, 7 rebounds, 4 steals and 1 block, and Thompson scored 16 points and hit 3 three-pointers, which was a typical Wizards-style victory!
