From sparring to superstar

Chapter 137 135. Our O'Neal
Li Ao looked at No. 21 who was staring at him expressionlessly, wondering why this guy was so narrow-minded.

He was unwilling to use the trash talk of "I can take my family on the team's chartered plane" and saw the young couple Shelby Jordan coming to work yesterday. Use this to tease number 21.

I didn't expect the emotional reaction on the 21st to be so intense... Oh!

An invisible light bulb popped out of Li Ao's head, and his right hand hammered into the palm of his left hand.

Kobe Bryant during the explosive head period, Duncan was able to abuse blood at the beginning, and then even if the OK combination was at its peak, Duncan could overthrow the Lakers in 03, but in the summer of 03, after Kobe started to bald for some reason, then Kobe became The Spurs killer, Duncan never beat Kobe in the playoffs...

It must be that No. 21 was jealous of No. 8's cool hairstyle, and felt that his hairstyle was not as good as the other's, so he became angry from embarrassment, and ran away in anger.

Li Ao nodded, it must be true.

"An indiscriminate disaster:
Goal 1: The host needs to complete at least 1 dunk and 1 block against Tim Duncan in this game.

Goal 2: Every time Tim Duncan blocks a shot, the host needs to respond with a dunk or block, which is calculated separately from Goal 1.

Reward: 3 level 1 skill upgrade card. "

The rewards for this task are good, but the difficulty is second.

The main thing is that goal 2 reflects one thing from the side-Duncan is eyeing him.

Li Ao thought about it again, if Duncan really didn't calmly stare at him as a mid-range shooter, it wouldn't be a bad thing for the Clippers...

He closed the task section and opened the player evaluation report.

“特雷西-麦克格雷迪，21岁，203公分，95公斤，综合评价91……场均16.2分6板8.5助攻1.5抢断1.9盖帽……投篮命中率47.1%，三分命中率36%，罚球命中率74.3%……”

It is indeed a super genius who catches the ducks and goes directly to the second team, and after adapting for one year, he immediately plays the first team for two consecutive years.

Changing to support, it is still the best lineup level for the upper ranks!
And with Duncan's help, plus the main offense and defense, McGrady may be the best team + best defense team this season!
Among the role players of the Magic, the strongest is Darrell Armstrong, a 32-year-old experienced veteran with a comprehensive evaluation of 79, averaging 13.6 points, 3.3 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.3 steals per game. .

Then there is Mike Miller, with a comprehensive evaluation of 77, averaging 12 points, 4 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game, pure three-pointer, rebounding ability, and defense is not good, but it does not hold back when the team's overall defense is strong.

This is the highest rated opponent Li Ao has seen so far. He played next to Duncan and Tracy McGrady and scored 78 points.

The other role players of the Magic are not rated very high, most of them are good role players.

Although relying on the "Big Three" to attract some veterans to join, the Magic spent two maximum salaries and one sub-maximum salary to fill up the salary space. Except for veteran players and rookies, the rest of the players are in the millions. A basic salary contract of US dollars or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Li Ao saved Duncan's player evaluation report until the end...

"Tim Duncan, 24 years old, 211 cm tall, 230 cm wingspan, 116 kg, comprehensive evaluation 101 (dominant level)..."

"Chu!"

Li Ao feels sorry for O'Neill.

That's horrible!
...

After the cheerleading performance time was over, Li Ao came to the technical stage to rub chalk and prepare to shoot.

Mike Miller leaned over and said, "You were wearing a wig! I thought you really had that hairstyle."

Li Ao rolled his eyes and asked, "Do you think he's handsome?"

"You look handsome in it, and it suits your flamboyant personality."

"If you like it, I'll ask my hairstylist to design one for you tomorrow morning. Look there, Kenyon, let's meet. We are in the same class. His hairstyle is made by my hairstylist."

"Oh!"

Mike Miller's eyes lit up, and he nodded excitedly.

No, why is it related to hairdos? Let's talk about hairdos tomorrow morning.

Mike Miller looked at the data of Li Ao averaging 24 points and 3.8 blocks per game on the big screen, and sighed: "I thought it would be a different world to enter the NBA, but I didn't expect you to be the most talented one. I can type it out."

Seeing someone approaching, Li Ao raised the corner of his mouth and asked, "Then who do you think is more talented, me or McGrady?"

Mike Miller replied: "I have really thought about this question. Just looking at the age of 19, you must have performed better than him, but he was not the core at that time, so it is difficult for me to make a judgment. Although he does not score now You have more, but I think if he wants to score, he should be no less than you. He can do everything, but you are only 19 years old, and he is 21 years old..."

Hearing this, Li Ao looked behind Mike Miller and gave a "cut".

Mike - Miller confused.

Why aren't you happy?
This is not quite the same as the Li Ao he knew. Although the Li Ao in his impression had a poisonous mouth, he would never get angry because of this kind of thing.

Wait, Li Ao didn't seem to be looking at him when he 'cut' just now...

Mike Miller turned his head to see Timak smiling behind him, and then turned to look at Li Ao: ()
I came here to catch up with you, but you actually provoked discord in person!

Watching Li Ao turn around and walk onto the court to catch the ball and shoot, Mike Miller was so angry that he was wrong, this guy hasn't changed at all!

Fortunately, the warm arm of the third brother rested on his shoulders, soothing his heart wounded by his bad friend.

After a while, the pre-match preparation time was over, and the two teams came to the field as starters.

The Clippers are still Greg Anthony assisting four young teammates.

The Magic sent Darrell Armstrong, McGrady, Mike Miller, Duncan, Michael Doriak to the starting lineup.

Seeing Duncan come to the middle circle to jump the ball, Li Ao raised his middle finger in his heart——Chang Wei, and said that you don't know martial arts!
Pretend to be a power forward, too!What does it mean to go to the jump ball?
When he retracted his gaze, Li Ao caught a glimpse of O'Neill's expression. He thought his eyes were dazzled, so he quickly looked back... Oh shit!

Little O'Neill actually tilted his neck and chewed his braces with half of his face and nose raised.

Happy Birthday!
The softie O'Neill is so arrogant?
Still facing Tim Duncan with +2 dominance!

Li Ao closed his eyes and shook his head, looked at the center circle, then looked at the sidelines, and confirmed that the O'Neal in front of him belonged to their family, instead of secretly swapping identities with the one in the audience.

Is this a distortion of character, or a loss of morality?
Or is it 'desensitized' by being continuously tossed by various powerful insiders?

This time, Li Ao really guessed right!

In the original time and space, O'Neal played in the East, and he didn't have many fights against powerful insiders. He just became the key growth period of the main force, and he failed to get the training he deserved, and he has become the number one insider in the East.

This made his style of play and mentality not particularly tough, which led to him encountering the super insiders in the West, and was hanged almost every time. In addition to his own personality problems, he was discouraged when he saw the super insiders. Even the Suns, Cavaliers He was afraid of the big sharks when he was in the team.

But in this time and space, after Jermaine O'Neal left the drinking fountain, he went directly into hell mode. No team in the West has a bad inside line, even the Warriors have a center rotation of Dampier + Foyer... It's really like Continued 'desensitization treatment'.

Now Jermaine O'Neill has figured it out. Anyway, it seems that anyone can beat him, and he can't beat anyone, so why worry about it.

Looking at the expressionless Duncan, O'Neal was very disdainful: he has the ability to beat me tonight!As long as I am a little scared, my surname is not O'Neill!

...

At 8 p.m., the referee blew the whistle to start the game and tossed the ball into the air.

The 'desensitized' O'Neal was extremely focused, jumping up as soon as the ball reached the highest point, and pushed the ball back before Duncan.

The Clippers go first!
Li Ao jumped off in surprise, rushed to the opponent and received a precise long pass from Odom at close range.

McGrady was one point faster and retreated to the basket first. Li Ao immediately pressed up after receiving the ball.

Ignoring McGrady, Li Ao took off directly and dunked...

The fans cheered wildly at first, but suddenly turned into screams.

"Snapped"

"bang"

Duncan came back from the middle of the road and chased the big hat!
The ball was slapped on the neck of the basket by Duncan, but it didn't bounce!

The ball spun around the neck of the basket, and finally rolled down. Although Li Ao was surprised that Duncan was so fast, he quickly concentrated his attention, squeezed McGrady to grab the ball first, feinted a shot, and Duncan took off again.

Li Ao turned around and took a step to the right sideline of the three-second zone. With his left hand against the pressing McGrady, he stood on tiptoe and hooked the ball with his right hand... It felt good, the goal was scored!

The screams of the fans turned into cheers again.

He dunked McGrady and scored two hooks against the two best defense opponents under the basket. The fans felt that the latter was even stronger!
Duncan, who was thrown away, had no expression on the ground. Looking at Li Ao who retreated back with his arms open, there was still a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

The basic skills of the little spider are good!
Although there is no skill at all, going straight and going straight, and relying on strength, leg length, and arm length to complete this second attack, it can be seen that the foundation of basic skills is very solid.

Offensive and defensive transition, Armstrong advanced to the frontcourt, waiting for Duncan to get in position... What's the situation?

On the left side of the three-second zone, Jermaine O'Neal and Duncan waved their four long arms, frantically fighting for positions!
Legend has it that the Clippers have a big spider, with rough defense, constant small moves, and hot temper, and the aunt was KO on the spot. Could it be like pears, Jermaine O'Neal... What a fart!

Isn't this a softie?

Not only was Armstrong surprised to see O'Neal baring his teeth and fighting Duncan hand-to-hand, even his teammates and fans were stunned.

Is this still the little O'Neill who was thrown by Malone and had to rely on Spider-Man for an arm?
Is it true that O'Neill used black technology to shrink a circle to play instead?

However, Duncan really didn't have much anger in this regard. When he encountered such an unexpected situation, he fought hand-to-hand and chose to pull away to a 45-degree angle.

McGrady tacitly mentioned going up the line, catching the ball and playing Li Ao in singles.

Seeing Li Ao's huge defensive coverage with his arms outstretched, McGrady spouted a curse word like Kobe did when he first met Li Ao on the training ground.

He thought that the wingspan of Marion and James Posey was exaggerated enough, and this rookie was even more outrageous!
The overwhelming sense of oppression!

Mid-range and long-distance singles are not a good choice. McGrady didn't care about the bragging when he had a dinner with Kobe last night. He chose to break through.

Li Ao was very focused and worked hard on defense, and kept up with McGrady's first step, but McGrady's next two steps were faster!
The fastest first three steps in the league!

Started one step away from the free throw line, McGrady took two shots, stepped out three steps, and directly entered the three-second zone!

Just after being hit twice, McGrady leaped high and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand... "Pa" and "Kang"... Two familiar voices sounded.

But this time, it was McGrady who was hated!

However, it was not Li Ao who blocked the shot, but Jermaine O'Neal who predicted that McGrady would dunk and shrink back!
The boss' style of play and personality will affect the younger brother, especially for people with the temperament of McGrady.

Although shocked by O'Neal's shrinking block so fiercely, his first reaction was to grab the ball.

Relying on top-level lateral movement and take-off speed, McGrady grabbed the offensive rebound that was shot on the basket before O'Neal.

After landing, McGrady swayed a shot, O'Neal was sent flying, McGrady took a step to the right of the three-second zone, and suddenly had a whim, took off, hooked... "snap"...

Capped again!

McGrady's attention was on O'Neal, and he forgot that there was a big spider chasing and defending at close range!

The ball was slapped by Li Ao on the backboard and bounced to the left of the three-second zone. Duncan followed in and grabbed the offensive rebound. O'Neal pounced on it. Pilling and layup...

A "NO Tim" came into Duncan's ears, and at the same time, he saw a long white arm appearing in front of him... "Careless."

"Snapped"

There was a crisp sealing sound.

Li Ao blocked Duncan's layup head-on!
Odom grabbed the ball and counterattacked, was hugged by Michael Doriak, a tactical foul.

Michael Doriak, who averaged 13 fouls in 2.8 minutes per game, is like a ruthless foul machine.

Duncan and his inside partner high-fived in thanks.

In front of the hand-to-hand fight, he still struck a match in his heart.

After playing with O'Neill, he was a little agitated, and he didn't notice that the little spider had been taken in when he shot.

For Li Ao, Duncan now pays more attention to it.

You must get to know this rookie well, otherwise you will have nothing to talk about next time you are interviewed by the florist media.

On the other side, teammates are praising O'Neal's defense this round.

Fierce!brave!And it works!
The teammates were really surprised. In the past, O'Neal's defensive efficiency has always been good, but it always gave them a "soft" feeling. It's not that he didn't dare to fight, but that he didn't have the strength that a defensive insider should have. Son!In this regard, O'Neal can't even compare with Odom, not to mention Li Ao, who dared to compete with Malone and O'Neal.

Tonight, Jermaine O'Neal finally got ruthless!
Jermaine O'Neal heard the praise and encouragement from his teammates...

It turned out to be this feeling!
