From sparring to superstar

Chapter 136 134. How many times do you want to cap off tonight?

With a performance of 20+5+5, he only got a consolation prize of 100 achievement points, and Li Ao felt overwhelmed.

After seeing the news after the game, he felt better. Many media praised their performance in the first three quarters and gave encouragement.

As for the similar number of news mocking them for being overthrown, ignore them for now.

When you want to adjust your mood, of course it is better to listen to nice words.

Afterwards, I will watch the news about criticism and sarcasm, to see if there is any point of criticism that I can respond to... no, it is to accept criticism, to see if there is something right, and sometimes scolding can also be used as a reference.

Normal people, when they ridicule and slander, they will base their actions on facts, and some people are good teachers, so maybe they really find something to refer to.

The news reported in the two directions has one thing in common - touting Kidd's triple-double.

After Li Ao adjusted his mood, he reviewed the game against the Suns and felt that the opponent was really strong.

But if you want to go further, the Suns don't have that potential.

Although the Suns team is top-notch in offense and defense, there is only a team and no singles strength. As the Suns' first scoring point, Marion scored most of his points by eating cakes and counterattacks, followed by offensive rebounds.

Pence and the former wolf king should be the key players in Colangelo Jr.'s mind, but although they are at the peak of their age, their bodies are already crippled.

With the Suns' salary of more than 5400 million US dollars, there is no need to introduce singles strengths, and these two former star players with an annual salary of tens of millions, no other team wants to pay.

In other words, the upper limit of the Suns is here!
At first, Li Ao couldn't understand why the Suns would send away the number one point guard who was at the peak in exchange for Marbury, but now he understands.

Colangelo Jr.'s ambitions don't stop there.

On the second day, Li Ao no longer paid attention to the opponents who had finished the game, and did what he should do now. He watched his team's video in the morning, and studied his teammates' running positions, passing and receiving habits, etc.

Kidd was not mistaken, Li Ao was really stealing in person.

But it's okay to fight temporarily. If you want to develop this ability, Li Ao understands how difficult it is just at the beginning.

In addition to knowing the habits of your teammates, you also have to have a basic understanding of the opponent's defensive habits. When it comes to the game, you have to take your teammates' current state, feel, etc. into consideration...

He regretted it, why did he learn how Kidd organized an offense?
However, if you have learned everything, if you don’t learn well, it’s too bad.

In the afternoon, he came to the Memorial Stadium to practice catch-and-go jumpers. Unfortunately, the Lakers went to an away game and had no experience playing.

A rest day passed, and on December 12, the Clippers ushered in a challenge from the Warriors at home.

At 7:10 p.m., players from both teams entered the field.

Li Ao looked at the opposite side, very puzzled, how did this opponent manage to lose 12 consecutive games at the beginning?
The Warriors are currently 4 wins and 16 losses, ranking last in the Western Conference.

The lineup is not bad, with Mookie Blaylock, Bob Sura, Larry Hughes, Antawn Jamison, Eric Dampier in the starting lineup, and Chris Mills on the bench , Mark Jackson (center), Chris Porter, Vontigue Cummings, Foyer...

The Warriors, which have mostly rookie contracts and only one player with a salary of more than $1 million, have a total salary of $500 million.

In terms of star performance, Jamison has played a shocking performance this season. In the games against the Sonics and the Lakers, he scored 51 points in two consecutive games. With these two games, his scoring average soared to 28.1 points, beating Carter to rank fifth in the scoring list.

The management of the Warriors also seems to want to win, even looking forward to the championship. They used a 4-year contract of 1600 million US dollars in the offseason to re-sign Adonal, who averaged 5 points, 5 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game. - Foyer.

This price is the same as the contract extension that Cassell completed with the Bucks in advance.

Foyer was able to sign this contract because of his tonnage of 208 cm + 123 kg.

Looking at the current record of the Warriors, Li Ao felt that his speculation was outrageous, but the Warriors' efforts to introduce high-quality role players and a large-tonnage center during the offseason really seemed to be building a lineup for the championship.

Li Ao opened the player evaluation report. Jamison, who has a comprehensive evaluation of 87, should not be underestimated. His defensive contribution can still have such a high evaluation. It is conceivable that the offensive firepower is strong. At present, the player with the highest average score per game at the power forward position is even better than Webber. but.

拉里-休斯，83综合评价，场均16.7分5.5板5助攻1.9抢断。

Li Ao estimated that the true strength of this all-around striker swingman is stronger than what has been shown so far. Jamison was reimbursed in the middle of last season, and the Warriors did not spend any money on the 76ers during the All-Star Weekend. Larry Hugh Larry Hughes averaged 32 points, 22.7 rebounds and 5.9 assists in 4.1 games after the All-Star Weekend, but now Jamison is stronger than ever after his comeback. If you don't pay attention to it, you think he will only break through, and the right to shoot the ball has dropped sharply.

Dampier's defensive ability is online.

Mucci-Blakelow is also excellent defensively. In the 98-99 season, he was selected to the All-Defensive Team for the sixth consecutive season. He was not selected for the All-Defensive Team last season. The defense of the whole team is as stable as ever this season, averaging 6 points, 11.6 rebounds, 4 assists and 7 steals per game.

After reading the player evaluation report, Li Ao was even more confused. With such a lineup, how can he start with 4 wins and 16 losses?

But the confusion is the confusion. After the cheerleading performance, Li Ao urged his teammates not to be careless, telling them one by one.

Most of the teammates gave Li Ao positive feedback. For most of the Clippers players, they need someone to urge them.

But O'Neill rolled his eyes—this Spider-Man is overly cautious...Huh?Why again?
...

At 7:[-] in the evening, the Clippers played against the Warriors at home.

Li Ao's confusion was quickly resolved.

Warriors suck...

Jamison averaged high points per game, but his help to the overall offense of the Warriors, not to mention Larry Hughes, even Mookie Blakelow.

Jamison played for a long time and took a lot of shots. He threw 5-6 times per quarter, but most of them were singles.

And he is not the main attacker in singles, he shoots all the time, and when he gets tired of shooting, he goes to the side to stand.

Jamison's scoring has almost nothing to do with the point guard and the small forward, the two scoring masters. Not only these two, it seems to have nothing to do with the whole team.

Jamison doesn't move when he doesn't have the ball, and Li Ao, who defends him, can shrink as much as he wants, giving Blaylock and Larry Hughes more interference.

But it's not that Blaylock and Larry Hughes played so well, it's just that Jamison is like a cancer, it seems that they played pretty well.

These two also played their own way, without any rules, and had no advantages other than strong ability.

What suffers is the high-quality role players of the Warriors, the core of the three offenses with the ball, each with a style of play.

But the role players of the Warriors seem to have gotten used to it. The boss watched the show standing up without the ball, and they followed suit, watching the show closer on the inside and farther away from the outside. When the ball came, they just took a shot. Yes, they can score.

The offense is outrageous, and the Warriors' defense is even more outrageous. So far this season, only one team has averaged more than 1 points per game, and that is them, averaging 102 points per game.

Anyway, tonight Li Ao, Big Q, Maggette, and Boykins had a great time, and there were opportunities to fight back everywhere!
首节比分29比16、第二节35比23、第三节34比23、第四节28比21……快船队球员们到了末节防守延续性都还在，能防住就有得分，防守都积极得不行。

126 to 83, the Clippers slaughtered the Warriors with a huge difference of 43 points!
全场得分最高的是贾米森，24投10中、其中三分球9中3、罚球10中7，拿到30分4板1助攻1抢断。

快船队这边，四大反击狂魔，李敖28分3板3助攻3抢断5盖帽、博伊金斯12分6助攻、马盖蒂18分、大Q也有12分。

Odom had 13 points, 14 rebounds and 16 assists. He took a defensive rebound and counterattacked and advanced two steps. A long pass was an assist. He was also very happy.

The only one of the Clippers' main scorers who played with an explosive mentality-O'Neal.

遇到了丹皮尔+福耶尔的中锋轮换，7投3中拿到8分5板1抢断2盖帽的小奥尼尔，是今晚快船队唯一命中率低于45%的。

O'Neill, who previously criticized Li Ao for being too cautious, felt that Spider-Man's caution was right.

The team didn't lose, he lost!

...

After the game against the Warriors, Li Ao went home overnight and watched the video of the match between the 76ers and the Magic three days ago, and washed his eyes.

Li Ao is sure that if he plays chess with the bad chess basket for a long time, he will definitely be affected.

魔术队和76人队的比赛紧张激烈，艾弗森、邓肯、拉特利夫三人出场时间都超过了40分钟，且两队加起来只有5名球员得分上双，艾弗森30分、托尼-库科奇19分、邓肯28分、麦迪16分、迈克-米勒10分。

邓肯除了拿到全场第二高的28分，外加14板3助攻3盖帽，还把拉特利夫防得9投2中只拿到6分6板。

麦迪的16分6板9助攻2抢断2盖帽的表现，也极为出色。

With Duncan inside, McGrady outside, plus an excellent lineup of role players... In the end, the Magic narrowly defeated the 81ers 76 to 76 relying on defense.

The reason why Li Ao watched the video of this game was because their opponent after two days of rest was the Magic.

But after watching the game, not only did he cleanse his eyes stained by the Warriors, but he was also extraordinarily calm.

For such an opponent, the Clippers don't need to be nervous about it.

After the game against the Warriors, the Clippers got two days off.

This month the Clippers have very few games, a total of 14 games, and more rest time than last month. For them who have just started to polish the team's defensive system, the game density this month is really satisfying.

Only in January, they have 1 games...

On the 14th, the first rest day, Li Ao went to school with the assistant aunt in the morning to listen to a famous speech class.

After resting all morning, he came to Memorial Stadium to continue training in the afternoon.

Kobe returned to Los Angeles at noon, went to the blacksmith room at 4 pm to find Li Ao, and continued to practice.

Kobe found that Li Ao was very active in defense today, and his eyes seemed to reveal...jealousy?
Although I don't know why, but feeling Li Ao's emotions, Kobe is very proud and trains harder.

And the reason for Li Ao's jealousy-the Lakers have won a wave of 7 consecutive victories, and their record has improved from 10 wins and 6 losses to 17 wins and 6 losses. They have surpassed the Jazz, Mavericks, and Kings consecutively, rushing to the top of the Western Conference!

The way to play 7 consecutive victories is very simple - Kobe and O'Neal can play together.

Ever since, these days, the media and fans began to shout "OK combination is the best in the world" again, and this was first shouted by him, Spider-Man.

Regret!
Fortunately, a 'turn over +3' experience package was played today, and Li Ao's jealousy was reduced after training.

The turnaround jump shot must also be developed. He wondered whether he should take time to develop the back-up technique. It doesn't need to be strong, just use it occasionally.

On the second rest day, the Clippers began to prepare for the game against the Magic.

Like Li Ao, the rest of the Clippers have a relaxed preparation mentality.

Especially O'Neal, the opponent's starting center Michael Doriak, 211 cm + 119 kg, and the backup center Andrew De Klerk, 208 cm + 116 kg.

Those two combined played 21 minutes per game, and they were opposite a power forward who averaged two-thirds of his 40 minutes per game at center.

Little O'Neill made noises from time to time during training-destroy it!

...

At 12:16 p.m. on December 7th, Staples Center, Magic players played.

Duncan, who was the last to appear on the stage, was in a great mood, overflowing with...not overflowing joy, he raised his eyebrows twice to show his joy.

After joining the Magic, he realized that every game can have so many reporters interviewing him, that there can be so many live broadcasts across the United States, and it turns out that teams that play defense and fight hard can be so popular.

After arriving in Los Angeles yesterday, he was even more stunned. Many reporters from the mysterious oriental country came to interview him, so the Magic had to hold a press conference for the media of the florists.

Although many of the questions asked were related to the Clippers and Spiderman, he could understand that he was a reporter from his country after all.

But, why did those reporters get upset after he said "I don't know him yet, I haven't fought against him yet"?
He feels that these media will write about him, but he has no evidence yet.

In this regard, he felt that he should get to know Li Ao well tonight and experience the feeling of fighting Li Ao in depth. He will have something to talk about next time he is interviewed, and it is estimated that no one will hack him.

When the Clippers players came on the field, Li Ao was the first to appear on the stage, immediately detonating the audience!

The big screen gave Li Ao a close-up, the kind with blood stuck on his face.

Duncan was surprised, is the rookie Spider-Man so popular?

Although this is Los Angeles, the capital of entertainment, the fans of the Clippers are too fanatical.

Is there such a big gap in enthusiasm between Clippers fans and Lakers fans?
He looked at the opposite side, his eyes widened, and he sprayed out "Oumei Kar", which surprised McGrady and Mike Miller on the side.

Duncan's heart is beating fast now!

He stared at Spider-Man and had an urge—he wanted to have the same hairstyle!

The big screen camera and the spotlight were always on Li Ao, and the teammates who appeared behind felt lonely.

Because Li Ao 'changed' his hairstyle!

Slanted bangs, fluffy but messy hair... mainly the face!
Li Ao's hairstyle is a short cut. All the fans at the scene knew that he was wearing a wig, but the wig fit very well, and there were no traces of wearing a wig.

The rest of the Clippers are envious and jealous, and the envy and jealousy are aimed at Li Ao, and the "hate" is aimed at the new hair stylist... No, it is the trainer who is in charge of basic defensive skills.

This is the hairstyle the trainer and his girlfriend came up with for Spider-Man!
As for the hairstyle Li Ao requested, it doesn't matter, whoever made the hairstyle is at fault.

But the Clippers players with hair want to grow long hair. The trainer and his girlfriend don't know the professional ability of basketball, but they have seen the ability to make hairstyles. This morning, these two people Also made a dreadlock for Kenyon Dooling, pretty good workmanship.

Shelby Jordan didn't expect that because he and his girlfriend didn't have the money to do styling, the two of them learned the craft of helping each other make hairstyles and clothes from magazines, and everyone else said it was good after they tried it!

He's now going to start saving to get his girlfriend a hairstyling studio.

If both of them have income, then their little life will be prosperous.

The onlookers on the sidelines, O'Neal and Kobe, the latter dismissed the big spider's showmanship, but the former's eyes lit up.

If it wasn't for his hairless hair, it would be so high and low, how fun it would be!

McGrady took Duncan to the sidelines to say hello to the OK team. Timac was speechless. The new boss had no communication skills at all. He used to annoy his cousin and stole all the limelight. Now he began to miss his cousin. up.

When the OK group saw the two coming, they all stood up and greeted the two with a blank expression.

O'Neal and Kobe have more and more differences, but there is one thing they have always maintained in common - the desire to beat Duncan in the playoffs!
In the second round of the playoffs in 99, Kobe was just a 20-year-old blacksmith at that time. Although he showed the characteristics of restraining the Spurs at that time, he averaged 20+, but the Lakers were swept by the Spurs.

Last season, their most anticipated opponent in the playoffs was the Spurs, but Duncan was reimbursed.

After winning the championship, the opponent they wanted to beat the most was still the Spurs. As a result, the Spurs were so stingy that they were only willing to give 3 million in three years to force Duncan away.

Teams in the same league may not be able to play against each other in the playoffs, let alone separate the east and west. Both of them are praying that they and Duncan will never play against each other in the playoffs like Jordan and Olajuwon Opportunity.

After saying hello without emotion, O'Neill and Kobe ignored the double-T combination, and the two chatted on their own.

"Kobe, how many times do you think Duncan will be blocked today?"

"The Clippers' opponent today, I think Spider-Man can refresh his record of 7 blocked shots tonight."

"I remember that the highest number of times Spider-Man hated the same person in a game was 4 times, and I also think he can refresh this number."

"Spider-Man loves dunking, and he's going to have a great dunk tonight, right Shaq."

"That's right, it's not easy to dunk Duncan..."

Looking at the OK group who suddenly fell in love with each other, and the boss who turned around silently and left, McGrady regretted that he shouldn't come to Afro to show off his new boss.

This boss is really true, anyway, I will reply to the OK combination!
It made him want to speak for the boss and he didn't know what to say.

On the other side, Li Ao returned to the bench after taking a photo with the hospital assistant aunt, and just took off the wig when the system prompts!

"The host successfully attracted the attention of Tim Duncan... Mission: Unexpected disaster trigger:..."

Looking at the task that was triggered, Li Ao has already felt a hostile gaze, following his gaze...

"Wow, isn't it just that the hairstyle is more handsome than yours? As for envy, jealousy and hatred to this extent?"
