From sparring to superstar

Chapter 122 120. Just waiting for you!
Kobe Bryant led the team. He personally felt sharp-edged and full of vigor. It is possible that he could open the score by himself, but the Lakers team is not very difficult to deal with. They point at Kobe Bryant when they hit others, and the stability is not good.

O'Neal leads the team. He doesn't have the ability to single-handedly widen the point difference, but the Lakers' tactics can be played steadily, and the whole team participates in the offense!
Fox's coping ability, Horace Grant's impact after the flank cover... Even Ryder, whose strength has collapsed like a cliff, can make a mid-range shot without needing to score in singles.

The Lakers launched a team offense around O'Neal, taking advantage little by little.

After playing for more than 3 minutes, the score came to 8 to 12. The Clippers were 4 points behind, and Gentry called a timeout!

Gentry is very painful, he wants to take advantage of OK's not getting together to fuck each other.

But O'Neal's absence for many games seems to have no effect at all.

The one-on-one catching and hitting of the ball can put the ball into the basket with one step, let Gentry know that he is thinking too much.

But Gentry is not under much pressure. If he can win, it will be an upset. If he doesn't win, it won't have much impact.

The new boss has put no pressure on the record at all this year, and training a few young players is the most important goal this season.

He is not under pressure, his thinking is very active, and he has a lot of ideas!

After the players returned to the bench, Gentry made offensive tactical adjustments.

As for the defensive end moving ahead to pinch O'Neal as soon as O'Neal receives the ball, so that the opponent can easily play a team offense, he doesn't care.

You can't just watch Jermaine O'Neal being played by O'Neal!
Not to mention the players, he was afraid that O'Neal would hit 60+ again.

Back from the timeout, the Lakers did not make substitutions.

The Clippers replaced Piakowski with a big Q, and the other four remained unchanged.

Li Ao took a few deep breaths, calmed down, and walked onto the court.

With Gentry's adjustment, the pressure is on him!
The game continued, and the Clippers served from the center line.

Li Ao sent the ball to Greg Anthony and entered the inside running position, running more actively and hard than in the previous rounds.

O'Neal went to the top arc to pick and roll Greg Anthony, Horace Grant expanded, and O'Neal moved to the left sideline of the three-second zone to cover Odom, who was one step outside the three-second zone.

With Horace Grant, O'Neal doesn't have to defend the damn pick-and-roll!
Li Ao circled to the bottom line on the left side of the three-second zone and used Odom to block the chasing Fox. O'Neal immediately switched defenses, followed Li Ao under the basket, and covered the line where Li Ao received the ball.

Li Ao slid out of the baseline, and O'Neal was about to follow up when he saw the ball pass to the left of the three-second zone.

Odom received the ball in 2 of 2 in the opening game!
O'Neal stopped and stared at Odom, Li Ao took the opportunity to widen the middle distance on the right, and Odom hit the ground and passed the ball.

Li Ao received the ball, and Ron Harper, who switched to O'Neal, rushed to Li Ao from the free throw line and stuck to Li Ao, but Li Ao took off against the defense and made a mid-range shot...a hit!
Ryder, who was flanking up, felt lonely.

If Li Ao pulls the ball horizontally or retreats, he will be caught by the opponent's two defenders.

Offensive and defensive transition, Ron Harper went to the frontcourt and handed the ball to Fox.

Fox looked at Li Ao who was taking a big step in the top arc, and the first thought that popped up was: let the little spider guard me?Am I worthy?

Putting away his strange thoughts, Fox observed the situation on the court, saw an opportunity, and played the ball!

Li Ao tried to intercept, but failed.

The ball came to O'Neal on the left side of the three-second zone. O'Neal was about to play a single, and Odom pinched it in place.

O'Neal distributed the ball to the right side of the three-second zone. Ryder received the ball after being screened by Horace Grant. The big Q who defended the screen chose to shrink. Together with Odom and O'Neal, the three retreated to the basket to defend against the opponent's twin towers + shields.

Ryder catches and shoots...in!
14 to 10, the Lakers continued to maintain a 4-point lead.

When the Clippers were attacking, Li Ao continued to run actively. With a beautiful emergency stop, he turned around and pulled the ball horizontally to receive the ball from O'Neal. Facing Horace Grant's supplementary defense, Li Ao took a step back while receiving the ball.

Horace Grant was not thrown away, he stepped up and followed Li Ao closely, Li Ao took off decisively against Horace Grant's defense... was forced to fall back!
Horace Grant did a great job defending this time. Seeing Li Ao leaning back, he almost fell down. Although he missed the cap, he was still thrown out, but after he finished the interference and landed, he immediately turned around and rushed inside... His pace slowed down.

His eyes widened, and he wasn't so shocked when the dunk was blocked in the back of his head.

Li Ao actually made a fadeaway jump shot with an angle of almost 45 degrees!
Unlimited supplementary defense, always keep a person in front of Li Ao's defense, can't it be defended?
In the transition between offense and defense, Li Ao scored two goals in a row, and the cumulative effect of the "Pumping Worker Level 1" boosting morale came.

Originally, the morale of the Clippers players had a tendency to slump.

Odom played so well at the start and was still 4 points behind, which made the Clippers players feel powerless and their defensive enthusiasm declined.

But this time, the Clippers became active again and defended harder than before!

Ryder received the ball again on the right side of the three-second zone, but O'Neal rushed forward. Ryder was frightened and shot in a panic... The open shot was ironed!
Odom beat O'Neal to grab the defensive rebound, dribbled behind his back after landing to avoid O'Neal's steal, and started to advance.

Li Ao, who received half a step inside the free throw line, rushed to the frontcourt immediately.

Odom pushed the ball forward, and Li Ao, who rushed to the opposite three-point line, received the ball. Fox blocked the free throw line when he received the ball.

Fox and Ron Harper, who took a step back first, have already defended in place. Fox is in front and Ron Harper is behind Fox's left. When Fox carries Li Ao, Ron Harper will go up and take out the ball...

Then, Ron Harper saw Li Ao, who received the ball one step outside the free throw line, take three big steps directly. The first step knocked Fox, who was blocked and hadn't stood still!
Seeing Fox fall to the floor with a "bang", Ron Harper stepped aside quickly, and Li Ao took two steps to the reasonable collision zone, jumped up, and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand!
The fans at the scene exclaimed, and Fox, who fell on the floor, was also shocked.

Obviously when he saw that Li Ao was approaching the three-point line, the sprint momentum had slowed down, but the speed of the opponent's receiving the ball suddenly accelerated again!

Second stage acceleration?
Or counterattack the non-stop second-stage acceleration after a long-distance sprint?
Didn't it mean that starting and explosive power are the rare physical weaknesses of this rookie Spider-Man?

14 to 14, the Clippers tied the score!

Zen Master didn't call a timeout, but the Lakers players became vigilant.

The little spider on the opposite side is extremely fierce!

The left-handed magician is also in excellent form tonight.

When it came time for the Lakers to attack, O'Neal took the initiative to move around the basket, relying on his tyrannical strength to forcibly bypass O'Neal and Odom who was retreating early.

Sharks are ferocious!

However, Li Ao scored 3 goals in a row, and the effect of "Pumping Worker Level 1" continued to superimpose. When the Clippers attacked, his teammates became more active.

Greg Anthony continued to pick and roll with O'Neal, pulling Horace Grant out so that O'Neal dared not leave the basket.

Li Ao ran to find an opportunity to catch the ball, but just after receiving the ball, Ron Harper and Ryder moved ahead of time to pinch in place.

Li Ao raised the ball and threw it to the right sideline, the big Q caught the ball, and made a three-point shot with a big gap...Go in!
Gentry rushed to the sidelines and high-fived Li Ao who had retreated back.

His tactics worked!
On the offensive end, Li Ao is more active in running positions to find opportunities to catch the ball and forcefully open shots against the opponent's infinite defense.

If you make a good shot, it is possible to create open opportunities for the wings or create pie-eating conditions for the basket.

In order to reduce Li Ao's consumption, Gentry directly prevented Li Ao from defending against the opponent's two defenders who were attacking with the ball, and asked him to guard the top arc area to direct traffic and wait for the counterattack.

This style of play is very unreliable. Once Li Aoqiang misses a shot, even the decent offense at the beginning will be ruined.

But didn't Li Ao invest in it?

17 to 16, the Clippers overtook the score!

When the Lakers attacked, they played even more fiercely.

At the beginning stage, they were very relaxed and did not fight, and now they are starting to fight!
The Sharks are really fierce. Even if the Clippers opened up the offensive end, they were still overwhelmed by the Lakers led by O'Neal.

打到首节8分11秒，湖人队靠着一波9比5，将领先优势扩大到5分。

Fortunately, Odom, Big Q, and Greg Anthony received the ball from Li Ao and made good shots.

But at the end of the quarter, O'Neal couldn't move!
前面10分多钟8投6中、外加4中2的罚球拿到14分的奥尼尔，节末两次单打米姆没能凿到合适的位置，连打两铁！
The Clippers seized the opportunity, scored two points on a Li Ao counterattack layup, and Odom made a close-range shot in a positional battle, chasing the score to 34 to 36, narrowing the point difference to two points!

On the final attack of the first quarter, O'Neal didn't ask for the ball. He stood on the left side of the three-second zone with his hands on his knees like Kobe, but Mim still stuck to him.

Ron Harper wasted time and prepared to come by himself. At this time, the other three teammates on the field were Brian Shaw, Horry, and Ryder. He really had no confidence in Ryder.

Suddenly, Ron Harper saw O'Neal move, no longer wasting time, and immediately played the ball.

The ball arrives!

O'Neal turned around sharply to the baseline, carried Mim to the right side of the basket, received the ball, jumped up on the spot, and smashed the ball to the basket with both hands... "Smack"... Li Ao rushed into the basket from the top corner on the left side of the free throw line, and slapped the ball that O'Neill dunked and flew away!
hat!

Big hat O'Neill!
But Li Ao was also knocked over by the terrible force of O'Neal's dunk. After landing, he took two steps back and fell to the floor, falling to the ground.

But this pain can't cover Li Ao's arrogance: "Hahahahaha, I know you want to make a sneak attack! I'm waiting for you!"
