Chapter 172 Season Begins
The few days of relaxed and happy vacation passed quickly, and Li Kaiming received the assembly message from Sanders.
Li Kaiming drove his newly bought Hummer h3 on the way to the arena. The clean street was lined with some street trees and lush greenery.
To be reasonable, Li Kaiming originally didn't want to buy an off-road vehicle. What man doesn't like the roar of a sports car?
However, his huge body couldn't fit into the cab of a sports car, so he had to settle for a state-of-the-art Hummer.
This thing deserves to have experienced the baptism of the Middle East battlefield. It is indeed very solid, and the view from the cab is also very good. For Li Kaiming, it will not feel like driving with a cat on its back.
According to the route in memory, Li Kaiming drove to the arena smoothly. The security personnel at the gate had already known Li Kaiming's car, so he drove into the underground garage unimpeded all the way.
When we came to the training ground, there were not many people there, but Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue came early. When they saw Li Kaiming coming, they immediately came to say hello.
Li Kaiming looked around and found that Arenas was not among the people present. He frowned but didn't say anything. Instead, he went straight to the locker room and changed into training clothes.
The team coach Saunders saw that everyone had arrived, stood in the center of the field and clapped his hands, making all the players surround him.
Sanders' face was not very good-looking, "Boys, Gilbert feels that his knee is still uncomfortable and is still undergoing treatment, so he will not be able to play in the regular season opener!"
Before the start of the season, the team lost a general, and he was the boss of the team. The players of the Wizards felt a sense of sadness in their hearts!
Li Kaiming's face was also very gloomy, the worst happened!
Originally, he predicted that Arenas would stop and go, but he was absent from the first opener!
The outcome of the opening game has a great impact on the team, and Arenas is probably forced to make a choice.
His situation should be worse than Sanders said!
As the head coach for many years, Sanders' ability to adjust is naturally extraordinary, and he quickly entered the state.
"Boys, we can't control Gilbert's injury, but we can control ourselves. We worked together to win the first game for Gilbert!"
The entire Wizards team seemed to be fighting against each other, and shouted with high morale, but in fact most people were still a little pessimistic in their hearts.
It's fine to play against other teams in the opening game, maybe if you try hard to gnaw a tooth out, you can still gnaw it off.
But that's the Orlando Magic!Last season's 59 wins and 23 losses ranked second in the Eastern Conference and the second team in the league!
The Wizards left a bunch of capable players during the offseason, such as Caron Butler. It is good to have a No. [-] pick, but there is also a No. [-] pick on the opposite side!
Arenas can't make it yet. If they can win, the sun will come out from the west!
Sanders also knows that there is little hope, but he is the coach of the team and cannot weaken morale first.
The tactical arrangements that should be made still need to be done.
The core of the Magic team is undoubtedly Dwight Howard, nicknamed Warcraft, but fortunately, Howard's scoring ability is so-so. The main scoring method is to eat cakes and grab rebounds for a second offense, so Sanders set the tone. Don't let Howard get close to the basket, force him to take jump shots that he is not good at and protect the backcourt rebound.
With such a heavy burden under pressure, the team center Andrey Blatche looked a little bitter!
He has experienced Howard's body. It doesn't mean that if you don't let him get close to the basket, he will stand outside the penalty area obediently, and he will always have a chance to get a rebound on the opponent's head.
But Blatche also knew that he could only do his best. As for how well he could prevent it, it would depend on whether God gave him face that night...
In addition to defending Howard's bombing of the penalty area, the biggest threat to the Magic may not be imagined by anyone, it is actually a three-pointer!
Their team includes point guard Jameer Nelson, who made 38% of his three-pointers last season, Vince Carter, a dunk king with 36.7% of his three-pointers, and Rashard Lewis, whose three-pointers make a living. , The three-point shooting rate averaged 39.6 per game, and the average number of three-point shots per game reached a terrifying 6 times!
This is just the three-pointers in the starting lineup, and their bench lineup includes JJ Redick with a 40.5 three-point shooting percentage, Ryan Anderson with a 37% three-point shooting percentage, and Michael Pietrus with the same shooting percentage.
It can be said unceremoniously that in the current Magic team, except for Howard, everyone else can throw a three-pointer from beyond the line, and the shooting rate is quite impressive. It is said that the Magic team is the first three-pointer in the league. The brigade can't be overemphasized!
The offensive style of this Magic team is actually just these two points, either Howard bombs the basket or fires from outside the three-point line.
So Sanders' goal is also very clear, two points on the defensive end, to defend Howard's inside line, and more importantly, the Magic's outside line.
In fact, relatively speaking, the priority of defense against the Magic's outside line is even higher. After all, if you Howard worked hard for a whole game, you can get [-] to [-] points. Wizards take away!
The next team training will also focus on three-point practice on the defensive perimeter.
After the training, there will be an exciting short movie session, of course not the kind of action movie with no clothes on, but the game video of the Magic team.
The level of professional refinement in the NBA is beyond everyone's imagination. There is a dedicated person in charge of everything about the team, and a dedicated videographer is in charge of video editing and tactical explanations.
Therefore, the team's videographer may be the person who has the deepest understanding of tactics besides the head coach.
Because the more you see, the more you will naturally understand.
The discussion of tactics in the conference room reminded Li Kaiming of the long-lost campus life, which was a bit like the atmosphere of a university classroom. Fortunately, the talk was about basketball, otherwise he should have slept soundly at this time.
While the Wizards were intensively preparing for the opening game, the nba also set off a promotion for the new season. The field of basketball public opinion, which had been quiet for a long time during the off-season, became full of enthusiasm again!
More and more media began to focus on the opening game of the new season, because this summer the league is too uneasy, and the formation of the Heat's Big Three has made more and more people hope that they can kill a team halfway. Cheng Yaojin prevented such a quick win.
Just when many people were thinking this way, on October 10, the opening game of the nba26-2010 season officially started!
The league's official schedule is obviously well thought out. The first game, which attracted worldwide attention, was the Miami Heat's match against the Boston Celtics!
In the first battle of the Big Three, James faced his old opponent, and the topic was full!
After the whole game, the Heat also chose the style of play with the most traffic!
The Boston Celtics defeated the Big Three of the Heat 88 to 80, and many people who like to watch the show said it was wonderful!
The second game had a greater impact on Huaguo, because Yao Ming came back, but his condition was not good. He scored 11 points and 4 rebounds in 9 of 11 games. The Rockets also lost to the Lakers.
Next, the eyes of Huaguo fans turned to the Wizards. They all wanted to see what kind of performance Li Kaiming could play against Howard the Warcraft.
Some Huaguo fans are actually very skeptical of Li Kaiming's strength. It is difficult for them to accept that a center can rely on the ball like Li Kaiming, instead of asking the ball to be hit one by one like a traditional insider.
The traditional insider Yao Ming can "eat, sleep and play Warcraft". They want to see if Li Kaiming can play Yao Ming's performance against Howard. If he can't even play Yao Ming's performance, do they still expect him to lead the team to win medals? ?
It is said to be the opening game of the Wizards, but it is actually more like a test match for Hua Guo fans against Li Kaiming.
