Chapter 031 Head-on confrontation, showing the enemy's weakness!

Because the Hawks do not have a particularly high-ranking rookie, the Wizards Kwame Brown automatically became He Li's last touchstone before entering the NBA, and of course it may also be a stepping stone.

Now He Li is in the limelight and is in great condition. He Li is obviously very confident in the next showdown!

He Li is very looking forward to the upcoming game!

Interestingly, when the game started, He Li discovered that Kwame Brown came to him on his own initiative.

Judging from this posture, the Wizards arranged for Kwame Brown to play power forward in this game and face He Li.

"Ha? Isn't this just right?" He Li was worried that he wouldn't have the chance to confront Kwame Brown head-on. Now that he was just sleepy, someone gave him a pillow.

If it were the past, the No. 1 pick played the No. 16 pick, then there was basically no suspense in the outcome.

But now, looking at the data of the two in this summer league, He Li averaged 34.4 points, 10.8 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game, while Kwame Brown only averaged 21.4 points, 13.2 rebounds and 2.8 blocks per game.

If this data is in NBA, the difference between superstars and all-stars is not the same level at all.

But now it's just the summer league, and both are the first round rookies of this year, so it's not impossible to compare them together.

Although, just looking at the data seems to have an advantage. But Kwame Brown has Garnett's physical test data and Weber's low-post offensive skills, his body and skills are suitable for playing power forwards, not centers.

Now Kwame Brown has come to the power forward position and plays a player who is "short and thin" than him. He has many physical advantages alone, not to mention that He Li has been playing power forward for a few days, and his technical level is also much worse than Kwame Brown.

Before the game started, no one knew what would happen next.

Most people even think that Kwame Brown has a better chance of winning the final victory.

Front players are more physically consuming. In the inside fight, the skills without physical skills are the attic in the air.

He Li seems to have no advantage in other aspects except speed and range.

Whether He Li has advantages or disadvantages, he should not say what he should say. In short, let’s talk about it after the game.

In the first quarter, both sides let their ace players come forward and have the first round of confrontation.

He Li has not skipped the ball before, but his bounce ability is good and his height and wingspan is also good. Since the Wizards sent Kwame Brown, He Li can also try it out. Anyway, he won't lose points if he loses the jump ball, and he will be even more handsome if he wins.

As a result, He Li still suffered a loss of insufficient experience and lost to Kwame Brown in the jumping game with a slight gap.

After the Wizards obtained the ball, the game really began.

However, in the minds of most people, the war between Mars and Earth is not imminent.

Kwame Brown did not take the initiative to attack He Li, and the Wizards' first offense was initiated by scoring guard Contney Alexander.

To put it a little, this guy was the 13th pick in the first round of last year. After half of the rookie season, he was traded by the Mavericks to the Wizards. He was reused and scored a gorgeous data of 17 points per game during his playing time of 33.7 points per game.

If it were other teams, they might be trained as core players, but in the Wizards, they met Jordan's comeback and then became Jordan's substitute.

After that, as his playing time and position in the team declined, this guy gradually became marginalized and he lost his first round rookie contract.

Back to the topic, Contney Alexander has both physical and skill, and Reed can't defend himself at all. The game didn't last long, Contney Alexander successfully played Reed alone and scored 2 points for the Wizards.

It was the Bucks' turn to launch an attack. Reed was a little anxious and took the initiative to find Contney Alexander. He suffered a big loss. He was so obstructed that he had no room to take action, and he was eventually stolen.

Fortunately, in addition to center, the Bucks have their running and jumping ability in the first echelon in the league.

Contney Alexander's fast break speed did not beat the other defensive players of the Bucks. As a result, because he played a bit independent, he failed to pass the ball to other teammates in time, and then he contributed a rebound.

Immediately afterwards, the Bucks launched a fast attack. The Wizards were a little fussy and were rushed into the basket and dunked one, which was considered to have recovered all their face.

After almost half a minute of running back and forth, Kwame Brown, who reappeared in front of He Li, suddenly became panting.

He Li was very surprised to see Kwame Brown like this. Kwame Brown's physical strength was not enough to run back and forth in the penalty area, and he would lose his energy after running back and forth.

Was this the nightclub that I couldn’t sleep at night last night? Or did I overexercise in order to see Boston at 4 a.m.?

He Li didn't know, but after discovering this, He Li quickly thought of trying it out.

It's impossible, just try it and die. Kwame Brown doesn't have that strong low-post defense ability now!

Wizards small forward Bobby Simmons helped the Wizards score the second goal. After the Bucks launched a new attack, He Li came to the outside line to ask for the ball.

Kwame Brown followed He Li to the outside line. He Li wanted to try to hit the back, but found that Kwame Brown was exhausted and seemed to be pretending. Kwame Brown's lower plate was obviously very powerful!

Unless Kwame Brown has Harden's physique, He Li seriously suspects that Kwame Brown is showing weakness to the enemy.

"I'm shameless. The No. 1 pick show plays me like this? Come and cheat, come and attack, my 16th-ranked little comrade?"

He Li has a serious lack of ball sense. When he is guarded, he is actually not very brave to break through from the outside line.

Experts who break through like to be guarded by being blocked, and they pass the first step directly, or dribble the ball in a rhythmic manner and shake the person away.

But He Li, who lacks the ball sense, has no rhythm at all! This may also make it difficult for defensive players to intercept the ball, but He Li is more worried that when the ball is dribbling, the ball just ran away or hit the foot... Wouldn't that be very embarrassing?

Before, He Li played as a small forward and dared to break into the inside line, he always hit the back near the free throw line, and then rushed in with three big steps. Or he started from outside the three-point line and relied on the tank to break into the inside line.

Of course, in order to make up for the shortcomings of ball control caused by the lack of level 5 ball sense, He Li generally does not choose to break through, but focuses on shooting.

Even if you hold the ball, you will choose pick-and-roll and pass to handle the ball.

Now playing as a power forward, He Li just needs to receive the ball from the inside, hold the ball and use the basket to open up space, and choose to use a small hook or mid-range shot to finish the attack.

The situation is not right now, He Li quickly dealt with the ball first.

He Li passed the ball to Alexander inside, and Kwame Brown's attention was transferred to the basket with the ball.

He Li took the opportunity to get rid of Kwame Brown. Before Kwame Brown could catch up, Alexander, who had just jumped up and prepared to make a layup, passed the ball to He Li. He Li received the ball and jumped, facing Wizards center Brandon Heywood from behind to complete the dunk.

Kwame Brown could only look down at the arrogant He Li coming down from the air with a dejected look. When He Li turned around and noticed Kwame Brown, Kwame Brown's eyes were still dodging.

The Wizards' attack again is still played by outside players.

If He Li was Kwame Brown, he would definitely be anxious! I was the No. 1 pick after all, and I thought I didn’t exist? You guys are always on the outside, Xia Ji is trying to win the eighth place on the outside.

But Kwame Brown seems to have a good temper, or he doesn't have much offensive desire in this game, but he is just trying to keep defending He Li, which makes He Li feel very puzzled and will feel a little uncomfortable.

Kwame Brown's height, wingspan, and strength are indeed not a decoration!

He Li's small hook shot at the basket has stabilized, with a shooting percentage of more than 60% in the last two games. However, in the first quarter, Kwame Brown defended 2 of 4 shots, and the other mid-range shot was 1 of 3 shots. Including the dunk percentage, he only made 4 of 8 shots in the first quarter.

In the past, He Li made at least 10 shots in the first quarter. This time he didn't have that many shots, and it was because He Li didn't take the initiative to ask for so many goals. This change was caused by the defensive pressure exerted by Kwame Brown on He Li in the game.
