The 20-minute halftime passed quickly, and the cheerleaders of the Wizards slowly exited the court amid the fiery gaze of the male fans on the spot, and the players from both sides took the court again.

The Wizards came up with a five-out lineup in the third quarter, and after coming up, the Wizards served first, and after Hinrich dribbled to the frontcourt, he handed the ball to Li Kaiming in the waist position.

When he was in the locker room, Sanders also meant to let Li Kaiming continue to shoot and hit until the old man Popovich was distressed.

After receiving the ball, Li Kaiming turned from his back to the face frame, and under Duncan's defense, he first raised the ball and shot, Duncan's defensive position was very tricky, and he was in a position where he could defend Li Kaiming as soon as he stretched out his hand, but he would not be swept over in one step.

But he is old after all, Li Kaiming made a feint shot and found that Duncan had no reaction, so he directly turned into a real shot in the middle of the feint, and hit it easily!

55-49, Duncan clapped his hands with some chagrin.

When the Spurs came to the frontcourt, Tony Parker didn't break through with the ball himself, but passed the ball to Morris Jr., who and Duncan turned and forced the Wizards to switch defenses.

Morris Jr. passed the ball to Duncan, who was walking inside with Leonard, who started directly after receiving the ball, turned and wiped it under the basket, scored with difficulty under the help of Li Kaiming, and also caused a foul.

Stepping up to the free throw line, Duncan missed the free throw with the efforts of the crowd at the mcI Center, 55-51.

The Wizards served to the frontcourt, the triangle strategy reappeared in the center of mcI, the other three players of the Wizards players cleared one side, and Hinrich passed the ball to Li Kaiming on the inside at a 45-degree position on the outside.

Duncan is still a single defense, but this time Li Kaiming's offense is more decisive, the moment he receives the ball, he starts it the moment he receives the ball, lowers his shoulders and center of gravity, and takes a big step to the basket, Duncan turns around and wants to force Li Kaiming to the bottom line.

At this time, Plitt, who was pulled out by Lewis in the bottom corner of the other side, also rushed in, but Li Kaiming was faster.

Besides, who rules that layups can only be made from the same side?

Li Kaiming seemed to be forced into a dead corner by Duncan, but he jumped directly after stepping on the last step, the whole thing was parallel to the rebound, and after flying for a distance, he dunked with one arm with a backhand from the other side!

57-51, Li Kaiming's wonderful goal began to be replayed on the big screen in the mcI center again, and the audience at the scene also raised their heads and stared.

In addition to the good results in recent seasons, another important reason why the Wizards' home court can be so lively is that Li Kaiming can contribute a few five goals per game, which is definitely the key to improving the popularity of a team!

Otherwise, why was Vince Carter so popular with the Raptors in the first place? Isn't it because he dunked and exploded?

The Spurs attacked, and after coming to the frontcourt, Parker held the ball at the top of the arc and waited for his teammates to run, and Duncan and Pulitt were two stumps at the baseline position, covering Morris Jr. and Danny Green.

Danny Green and Morris Jr. crossed positions along the baseline, and with the help of cover, the former successfully shook off the opposing Thompson, so Lewis on the same side had to switch defenses.

At this time, Parker at the top of the arc gave the ball to Danny Green on the outside, who received the ball and transferred it to Duncan who was misplaced inside, who forced Thompson under the basket to turn and hook his hand into it.

57-53, the Spurs' team cooperation was smooth, and even the commentators on the sidelines were amazed.

The Wizards attacked, and after coming to the frontcourt, he passed the ball to Li Kaiming on the outside, who received the ball and singled Duncan, and the Spurs were still not covered.

Duncan protected the rebound and passed to Morris Jr., who was about to go down, and Tony Parker got rid of Hinrich without the ball, rushed to the front court and then received the ball and switched to a layup to score!

57-55, the Spurs chased the difference to two points in just a few rounds.

After the Wizards served, Li Kaiming continued to take the ball outside the three-point line, and not scoring a ball would not make him feel anything, because he knew his strength.

In the face of Duncan's single defense, Li Kaiming dribbled to find a rhythm, and then started with a scissor step, and the strong explosive force allowed him to directly pass Duncan clean, and after rushing to the basket, Spurs center Pulit came over to help defend, but this guy seemed to overestimate his bounce, Li Kaiming held the ball in one hand, and the height exceeded Pullet's one hand.

Then the two collided in the air, and Li Kaiming's one-arm partition buckle was successful!

59 to 55!

Sanders, who was on the sidelines, waved his arms in celebration, fortunately there was Li Kaiming, otherwise he would have called a timeout to set up the defense.

The Spurs attacked, and this time the Wizards didn't want to let the interior line be misplaced so easily, so they could only rely on Thompson and Leonard to squeeze the cover, but Duncan and Pullett were like two mountains on the inside, blocking Thompson and Leonard tightly.

By the time Thompson was in place, Danny Green had already caught the ball and shot!

With a bang, the basketball hollow into the net!

59-58, the chances created by the Spurs using tactics during this period were all big mismatches or open opportunities, so the scoring efficiency was very high.

The Wizards attacked to the frontcourt, Li Kaiming still broke through Duncan with the ball this time, and after the assault to the inside, this time Pulitt had a heart and came over in advance to help defend, but Li Kaiming didn't look at him directly, and threw the ball in the direction of the basket!

At this time, Lewis, who cut from the baseline, scored a layup after an empty catch!

Hit this layup, Lewis shook his fist in celebration, although the buddy is a shooter, but after all, he is also Mr. 100 million, no one thinks I can't get a layup, right?

Popovich, who was on the sidelines, pointed his finger at Pullet, who couldn't help but shrink his neck.

The Spurs attacked to the frontcourt, and this time they still played the same tactics, but this time Thompson and Leonard were on guard and directly chose to bypass the cover and pursue, although it also gave Danny Green a vacant opportunity, but it was much better than the previous kind of completely stuckness of the two interior lines.

And Danny Green didn't score every ball, Thompson tried his best to chase the defense, and in the end the former received the ball and shot iron.

Li Kaiming under the basket, surrounded by the two giants of the Spurs, jumped high and picked up the rebound.

Dealing with the Spurs' starters with a five-outside lineup, this backcourt rebounding has to rely on him alone, and Lewis definitely can't count on it anyway.

After getting the rebound, Li Kaiming did not pass to Xinrich, but dribbled to the front court by himself, Duncan knew that his speed was much slower than Li Kaiming, and returned to the front court early to wait for Li Kaiming.

But Duncan still underestimated Li Kaiming's speed, and when he rushed to the front, Li Kaiming had no intention of slowing down at all, but a second acceleration, and rushed to Duncan's face in an instant.

Duncan stood up according to his defensive instincts, but he didn't expect Li Kaiming to slow down at all in the high-speed movement, but directly turned around and cleaned him up!

Of course, the rest of the Spurs team couldn't stand and watch, Morris Jr. was the first to rush over to help defend, and Plitt on the edge of the box was also eyeing it, but Li Kaiming didn't feel it was enough.

He put the ball together with both hands, took a big loop, and directly went around the head of little Morris, and at this time the basket was empty!

Plitt finally couldn't help it and rushed over directly, but Li Kaiming was waiting for this moment, a one-handed pass directed at Lewis in the bottom corner, who received the ball and shot in the open position, and hit a three-point shot!

62 to 58!

Li Kaiming's individual scoring performance from the second half of the second quarter finally attracted the Spurs' help defense.

Because of his sudden reaction in these few rounds, if he only shoots from the outside, of course the Spurs will not come to the bag, but as long as he can break through to the basket, let alone the Spurs, as long as it is a professional team, it will be covered!

Because being penetrated under the basket means a complete collapse of the team's defense!

After Li Kaiming realized this truth, he began to constantly hold the ball or catch the ball and break through to the basket in the following games.

In order to prevent the defense of the restricted area from collapsing, the Spurs used various ways to help defend rotation, but no matter who was released, Li Kaiming could quickly find his teammates and finally deliver the ball to them accurately.

In this rhythm, the Wizards' outside firepower began to show its grandeur, with Thompson, Hinrich, Lewis and even Leonard, each of whom began to fire from the outside.

The point difference was stretched to double digits by the Wizards, and no matter how Popovich called a timeout, it didn't help, because his defensive tactics couldn't limit Li Kaiming.

At the end of the game, the Wizards defeated the San Antonio Spurs 112-98 at home to win the first game of the Finals.

Li Kaiming played 37 minutes, shooting 14-of-23 from the field, including 2-of-5 three-pointers and 7-of-8 from the free-throw line, scoring 37 points, 14 rebounds, 10 assists, 3 blocks and 2 steals.

Thompson got more shots in the second half, hitting four three-pointers and finishing with 18 points and three rebounds, and Leonard was also very good tonight, hitting three three-pointers for 15 points, seven rebounds and two steals.

In their post-match interviews, both Saunders and Lee said it was just the beginning, all they had to do was get four wins as soon as possible, and that it was not time to celebrate.

Three days later, on June 9, the second game of the Finals was still the home court of the Wizards.

This time, the Spurs' defensive tactics have changed a lot, and Popovich has strengthened the rotation of the interior line, and has turned his own restricted area into an airtight iron bucket.

Even Li Kaiming couldn't easily break through.

But things are always two-sided, there are gains and losses, while the intensity of the interior defense comes up, the outside defense will be more lax, and the players of the Spurs are not superhuman, and they can take into account both internal and external defense, especially this interior defense is still prepared for Li Kaiming, so the contraction is even more powerful.

So Sanders added playing time to the five-out lineup in Game 2 to fill up the three-point firepower, and as the old saying goes, all fear comes from a lack of firepower.

If the opponent's interior defense is solid, why not try to reduce the dimensionality with a long-range shot!

In the end, the Wizards shot 43 three-pointers and hit 19 of them, beating the Spurs 124-103 and rewriting the series to 2-0.

Li Kaiming had 32 points, 13 rebounds, 14 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal, Thompson hit 6 three-pointers and scored 24 points and 3 rebounds, and Leonard had 17 points and 8 rebounds.

History is always strikingly similar, and the Wizards are going to the road again with a 2-0 advantage......
