From sparring to superstar

Chapter 114 112. Want a fat afro
The Lakers continued to attack, Ron Harper broke through and missed a throw, O'Neal caught Horace Grant and received a defensive rebound.

In the transition between offense and defense, Li Ao continued to move according to the tactics.

Bryant chased hard, but when Odom on the same side turned away from Horace Grant and cut to receive the ball, he made it up.

Odom didn't look at the pass, Li Ao withdrew to the right of the free throw line, and Horace Grant made up for Li Ao at the first time, but it was a bit late, Li Ao had already lifted the ball!

Facing a 208 cm and vicious power forward, Li Ao took off decisively to shoot the ball, and made a mid-range shot...hit again!
When it came time for the Lakers to attack, Kobe continued to play singles, rushed to the basket, hit the pull bar for a layup in front and rear pinches, and hit the rebound.

With running back and forth as a buffer, Kobe, who is currently in fairly good physical condition, can play more easily than playing heads-up with Li Ao.

It was the Clippers' offense again, and this time Li Ao encountered a tighter defense.

Zen Master just whistled and made a well-established tactical gesture on the sidelines.

Odom was very focused tonight, and instantly understood the opponent's defensive intentions, seized the opportunity, and passed the ball to Piakowski, who made a two-pointer from the bottom line!

6 is better than 2!

The Clippers started like a rainbow!

However, the Lakers did not fall behind.

After four years of training, Kobe started with a fierce attack and supported the Lakers' offense alone.

Kobe's style of play, the standard nerve knife style of play, dare to shoot any ball, dare to score any ball.

But the difference between him and Nerve Knife is that his scoring has continuity!
In previous years, when encountering Kobe in this form, the Clippers might be afraid of playing.

The opposite is the Lakers. The last time the Clippers beat the Lakers was five or six years ago.

In the 80s, the Clippers had a 23-game losing streak against the Lakers, and they would be mentioned every time they played against each other.

But tonight, the Clippers played hard.

Because they are steady!
Although Kobe's indiscriminate bombardment looked scary, their attack around Li Ao's mid-range shot overcame Kobe's counterattack!

Kobe played for half a quarter. When he entered the official timeout, he felt that he played very well. Indeed, they also played very well. He scored 14 points in the half quarter, and he personally scored 8 points and 1 assist. opposite.

Vaco!

The opposite side scored 17 points!
Although Tanhualang scored 4 points in the start, he only scored 5 points in the next [-] minutes.

But there are still 2 assists and 2 blocks!

At the beginning, Kobe and Foster cooperated, and Foster was blocked.

Later, Kobe mistakenly thought that Pangpang was near the basket, and passed it again. As a result, Foster was blocked again.

Kobe guessed it, Li Ao's style of play will most likely perform better in the regular season than in the preseason.

He has been playing for many years and has a lot of experience.

Tactics are tested in the preseason. When it comes to the last game of the preseason, the teams usually play it as a regular season. At this time, the tactics have been tested in the training camp and the preseason. Tactics that have been carefully selected and highly targeted.

The Clippers finally got this Tanhualang, so they naturally chose tactics around him.

The Clippers' style of play has a simple tactical purpose-the first goal is to create shooting opportunities for Li Ao. If Li Ao shoots well, he will be focused on defense, and then attack around Li Ao's containment force.

The tactics are very simple, and Kobe can see through them at a glance.

But it is precisely because of its simplicity that there are fewer mistakes.

Defensive tactics like this are not troublesome and don't require too much brainpower, but they test their strength even more.

However, their team's most important defender, O'Neal, was injured, and their defensive strength was light if they were cut halfway.

Kobe himself is not particularly good at defending off the ball. He is the top arc defensive gate. He often goes to the flanks to defend the middle and the bottom line habitually. Although Horace Grant and Fox complement Li Ao off the ball, the defense is also messed up. .

The most important thing is that as long as Horace Grant moves slowly and fails to stick to Li Ao before he makes a shooting action, Li Ao dares to shoot directly against the 208 cm Horace Grant!

For this, he was a little appreciative...

The two sides made lineup adjustments.

The Lakers sent a powerful new aid Isaiah Leder to replace Fox.

Kobe is looking forward to this teammate who averaged 19.3 points per game last season.

On the other side, Big Q replaced Piakowski.

After the timeout, the Lakers attacked and served in the frontcourt. Ron Harper gave the ball to Ryder.

Zen Master asked Ryder to attack a few first to help Kobe share the scoring pressure.

Bryant walks on the wing, looking unhappy without the ball, but he's in a position where he's always in a position to catch passes well, forming a triangle with Ryder and Horace Grant, according to the pair. to move the location.

He's not known for off the ball, but he runs pretty well. After all, O'Neal averaged 3.8 assists per game last season, 2.6 of which came from Kobe.

The Clippers also made defensive adjustments. Gentry asked Li Ao to defend Ryder, and the big Q who came off the bench defended Kobe.

Facing Li Ao's defense, Ryder was very disdainful, and he made a brainless breakthrough throw... "Pa"... Li Ao nailed the big hat!
Li Ao intentionally gave up the space to get off the assembly line, but he didn't expect this guy to think that he passed him easily, as if he didn't see him chasing behind, he shot directly.

Li Ao grabbed the ball directly after covering and grabbing.

Looking back, Jermaine O'Neal played face-to-face singles at close range. After Foster was tricked to move up the line with a fake move, Jermaine O'Neal took the initiative to press up, leaning on the opponent to wipe the board and hit a layup.

When it came time for the Lakers to attack, Ryder continued to play singles, changing directions, breaking through and making an emergency stop jump shot... was interfered by Li Ao so much that he was forced to throw the ball sideways, three non-sticks!

O'Neal protects the defensive rebound!
Li Ao muttered "Why so slow", and ran to the front field.

For these two goals, he felt that the defense was too easy. How could the opponent look like a 29-year-old man with physical fitness at his peak?

At the transition of offense and defense, Li Ao signaled Big Q to find an opportunity, and Big Q obeyed.

When Li Ao received the ball from the bottom line on the right side of the three-second zone, the big Q on the left sideline ran back and cut in, easily throwing away Ryder and entering the basket. When the ball arrived, he received the ball from Li Ao's bottom line and flew to the basket hit.

Horace Grant didn't have time to block, and Ryder couldn't even give a body contact when the big Q reversed.

But it can be seen that Ryder, who has a basic salary to hug his thigh, works hard no matter offense or defense.

Why is this movement so slow?
Where did the original Wolf King go when he broke through the frame like springs were installed on the soles of his feet, and accelerated his jump shots like lightning and stopped like pressing the pause button.

Kobe was looking forward to a surprise, but he didn't expect a surprise to come.

This guy, I'm afraid it's because of taking drugs and drinking too much to play with his body!
Li Ao on the opposite side also speculated that there is a limit to everything. Last year's Ryder hadn't been crippled, because he hadn't exhausted his body to that critical point, and this year happened to be there.

He thought of a similar example in the future—Ty Lawson.

It's the Lakers offense again.

Kobe hesitated for a moment, but still didn't ask for the ball, and continued to follow the tactics.

He didn't want to believe this fact, but because Ryder was coming, they made up their minds to dismantle the main lineup that won the championship last season, and exchanged Glenn Rice for Horace Grant.

They don't need to use the main force, but it's all because of the first wolf king!

Ryder continued to play singles, his expression became much more ferocious, Li Ao no longer used tactics this time, he just went hard, confronted, and oppressed the defense!

Ryder started to break through one step from inside the three-point line, but suddenly broke out of the three-point line, and was suppressed by Li Ao and retreated again and again.

Why is this rookie so strong!
And this long arm... Ryder was almost robbed, so he quickly grabbed the ball and hugged it with both hands.

Li Ao didn't reach out, but enveloped Ryder with his whole body. Ryder was not so calm, and when he saw a teammate, he threw it out in a panic... Big Q completed the steal!

The big Q rushed all the way to the opposite side and scored two points with a one-handed dunk.

快船队打了一个6比0，23比14，领先优势来到9分！
Being hated, three non-sticks, three consecutive mistakes, and being ridiculed, Ryder was extremely annoyed, and squeezed towards Li Ao cursingly, making small movements with his hands.

Li Ao immediately raised his elbow to push Ryder's chest, and Ryder was almost breathless. As soon as he stepped back a little, he saw an elbow appearing in front of his eyes, zooming in... it stopped, and it was right in front of his nose!

"Beep beep beep..."

The referee hurried up and pulled the two apart.

Although Li Ao stopped in time, the referee gave him a technical foul and warned him not to mess around.

However, Li Ao's previous arm touching Ryder's chest was missed.

In this conflict, the referee had a good impression of Li Ao. He saw Ryder's entangled little moves. He was a rookie and couldn't help but counterattack. It was normal. It was good to stop.

The main reason is that Li Ao's sunny face looks good...

On the contrary, Ryder, who has always been bad, the referee stared at the opponent, for fear that the opponent would become angry and do something.

Players on both sides also gathered around. At this time, the Zen master called a timeout, and Ryder didn't let go of his face. He ran back to the bench as if he was fleeing, and sat down directly.

He felt that rookie just wanted to kill him!

Although he didn't hit his face, he was probably bruised from the hit on his chest.

He is very good at bullying those cowardly rookies, but when he meets tough people, he becomes a coward.

The Zen master was a little broken, and he was in the same mood as Kobe now.

What the hell is this!
He felt that Ryder's condition was not right before, but Ryder had done too many evil things in the past, and he was notorious for his lax training attitude and late absences, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Anyway, he was still a first-line scorer last season.

The result is really broken!
No, it must not be so cruel, maybe it's just a woman's legs softened by a woman on two days off, maybe it will be fine in a few days.

Zen master adjusted his mentality, his expression was taut, and he replaced Ryder with Brian Shaw.

On the other side, Li Ao was also replaced by Gentry. At first, there was a conflict. Gentry asked Li Ao to calm down. In his mind, Tanhualang was too violent, and he fought for more than 7 minutes. It was time to take a break. Slow down.

Back from the timeout, Kobe went to the free throw line and hit a technical free throw.

Sitting on the sidelines, Li Ao regretted a bit. He knew that he would not scare this guy. Losing a technical offender was not a problem, but such a useful defensive colander and offensive black hole, he frightened him down.

If he endured it, that guy would be able to delay the opponent for a few more rounds... Hold up!Can't bear it!

They are ahead, directly on the opposite side!

The game continued. Ryder's wave just now had a big blow to the morale of the Lakers.

Ryder was hammered for three consecutive rounds. He became angry and used small moves to irritate the opponent. He was almost beaten.

But after this guy played tricks, he was stunned again, losing again and again!
And the Clippers, who played a wave of 6-0, once again raised their morale!
In the next time, the combination of McGinnis, Big Q, Maggette, Odom, and O'Neal played a wave of 9-4 according to the Lakers.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers narrowed the point difference to 10 points only by relying on Kobe's three-pointer against Big Q's defense.

32 to 22, the Clippers lead the Lakers by 10 points to end the first quarter!
When the whistle sounded at the end of the first quarter, Li Ao got up and gave his teammates high fives.

He said to Big Q: "You can defend well. In the last three attacks here, that guy can't get rid of you."

"Hey, although I'm not as good as you who were selected to the best defensive team in the United States, I am also the second defense of the American Athletic League!"

The second defense of the American Athletic League with the highest gold content in the six top league divisions?
A question mark flashed in Li Ao's mind.

His impression of Big Q is that of the brainless shooter and defensive colander during the Suns.

As a result, this guy said that he was a perimeter defense gate in college?
The second defense in the competition area, at least the top six defensive masters in the division.

In the second quarter, the Lakers sent a combination of Tyronn Lue, Kobe, Fox, Horry, and Horace Grant.

The Zen master stopped playing tactics, and the pitcher opened up, let Kobe swing!
The Clippers re-appointed Li Ao with McGinnis, Big Q, Odom, and Chris Mim.

Odom was very focused tonight, had a chance to beat Kobe, and played hard.

Under the leadership of Odom, the Clippers' offensive firepower is still fierce.

But under the control of Zen Master, Kobe also played very well. With a bunch of pitchers, he played back and forth with the Clippers.

In this quarter, Li Ao played 5 minutes first and 3 minutes before halftime, during which the Clippers had the upper hand.

When he was replaced, although the Clippers players played very actively and hard, they were still narrowed down by the pitching army led by Kobe.

At the end of halftime, the score came to 66 to 58, and the Clippers led the Lakers by 8 points.

With the point difference reaching single digits, the Zen master felt that there was a possibility of a comeback!

Kobe had 24 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals in the half. In this state, he has a chance to come back!
Although it was only a preseason game, Zen master played this game as a regular season, allowing the players to enter the rhythm of the season.

However, during the intermission, Bryant felt more tired than usual!
Thinking of that bastard Tanhualang who had dragged him to practice for the past two days until he was exhausted... He regretted so much that he wanted to vomit blood!

Back from halftime, Kobe continued to play.

He played the full first half, but this arrangement is fine, and he averaged 40.9 minutes per game last season.

The four main scorers they won the championship last season, O'Neal, Glen Rice, and Fisher are all gone tonight, and three are missing at once, and they are behind by single-digit points.

Feeling that his physical condition was not as good as before, Kobe wanted to use his threat of 24 points in the half to connect the team's offense first.

The idea of ​​the triangle offense started, and after he suddenly attracted a flanking attack from close range, he habitually distributed the ball to the basket... As soon as the ball was passed, he regretted it!

Rookie Medvedenko caught the ball and threw it. Li Ao rushed to the basket from close range and slapped the basket with his palm!

5th block in a single game!
Odom protected the defensive rebound, although he didn't hit the fast break, but after falling into the position, Li Ao seized the opportunity to cut in, received the ball and hit Horry's defensive hook!
Kobe was glad he didn't have a fat guy getting in his way, but when it came time to play with...give me a fat guy!I will definitely kill the big spider!
