From sparring to superstar

Chapter 155 153. You ask me how can you blow me up?
On Li Ao's side, I thought that since I haven't seen my family for a long time, there will be some touching scenes in the world. .

It feels good too.

Regarding Li Ao's private life, his parents did not interfere.

Zhou Limei and Li Weidong knew very well that when children grow up, they will always start their own families, and they just need to play their role of being the last safe haven.

However, if the child is too bearish, he should fight as soon as possible. This point has been well proved by Li Ao's family.

When he saw his father, he was as cowardly as something.

He was lying on a hospital bed as soon as he crossed over, and he was chased and beaten on Jiutiao Street after he was discharged from the hospital. He 'saw' the memories of his predecessor. His father, who was a soldier, was always very strict. The kind he went to for military training.

As the small owner of the Clippers, Vivienne called to inquire about the time to return to Los Angeles today, and the three of them waited for Li Ao to come back for lunch.

After lunch, Li Ao ran to the Memorial Stadium for training as if fleeing for his life. Vivienne saw Li Ao seeing his father like a mouse meeting a cat. She tried hard to restrain herself, but she still couldn't hold back her laughter.

It turns out that her family, Leo, still has such a side.

Li Ao, who fled to the Memorial Stadium, was in a good mood.

This year, his parents brought a lot of authentic New Year's goods, so he didn't have to worry about the New Year's Eve dinner, and he didn't have to worry about traveling and shopping, and there were hospital assistants.

After training all afternoon, he turned around with the ball, turned around with his back and retreated, and turned around with his back and rushed forward.

At 4 o'clock in the evening, when the training ended, the system prompt came!

"Congratulations to the host, the basic skills of the high-position back body have been raised to 60, reaching a qualified level."

"Congratulations to the host, the high post singles skill has been raised to 64."

"The host has successfully developed the first offensive technology with the ball. Congratulations to the host for stepping on the threshold of becoming an excellent star."

Li Ao jumped up excitedly.

One month, a whole month, and finally practiced the damn back foundation!
The evaluation of an excellent star who has not reached 80...is it because he just passed the back-up, and it is not good enough?
Then practice hard!
But seeing that the back-up technique is better than the basic skills, this Li Ao is quite painful.

Mid-range shots and layups are enough basic skills. Open shots and layups are very stable, but mid-range shots and layup-related skills are not enough to fully develop basic skills.

At present, his mid-range shooting is mainly based on running, catching and shooting, and he can play with the ball at the beginning.

The layup is even worse. It is the position with the most confrontation and the strongest shooting interference, especially the league has not issued regulations to restrict O’Neal’s defense. There are almost always people in the three-second zone. Just a fixed area.

This is actually a normal situation. Generally, you first practice the basic skills, and then develop the technology. No matter how good the technology is, it is useless if you don’t invest in it.

The situation on the back side is reversed in two stages.

The technique should reach the passing level earlier, because some of his supporting basic skills and techniques for back hitting are already very good, such as turning around, stepping back, emergency stop, lateral movement, etc.

When James Worthy was teaching, he also attached great importance to this point. He taught him how to connect the basics of backs with these early on. As a hall of famer, James Worthy also has rich practical experience and taught him a lot of backs. The small details of body technology connection...

To put it simply, the post-up application taught by James Worthy, that is, the technique, is taught directly based on his basketball ability.

As for the basic skills of back-up singles, although the teaching plan is constantly being adjusted, in general, it is still gradually polished from easy to difficult, step by step.

The combination of multiple factors has led to the current situation.

But this is not a big deal, as time goes on, the gap will become smaller and smaller, just like hooks, his current basic hook skills are 68, and hook skills are 69, which is basically the same.

After finishing his personal training, Li Ao came to the blacksmith's room.

Very tacitly, Kobe also came here for training today.

In the next few days, the Lakers and Clippers will have a wave of consecutive home games. In mid-February, the Staples Center will hold a Grammy ceremony. .

In today's duel practice, Kobe played 3 singles first, and all his shots were concentrated in the area of ​​one step left and right of the free throw line, and one step inside and outside.

He has been strengthening his singles ability in this area recently. A few days ago, they played away to the Suns and lost 89 to 90.

He singled Marion's game-winning shot to the right of the free throw line and dreamed of returning to the playoffs in his rookie year.

He went 15-for-7 from the field that night, 5 percent before the final shot, and looked pretty good.

But that's because he couldn't help it. He was restricted by Marion, who was in an amazingly good defensive state that night, so he couldn't make a shot!

The Suns have towers under the basket, and Clifford Robinson and Kidd seamlessly switch between the top arc and the flanks to help defend. He can only play well in singles in this position.

Facing rookie Marion in the playoffs last season, Kobe could easily average 21 points per game with a high shooting percentage.

But this season he played 3 times, and his shooting percentage in the first two games was lower than the average level of the season. A few days ago, he changed his style of play and tried to be reasonable, but he couldn't be defended by Marion!
He understood Li Ao's feelings...

Although Marion is only in the second grade now, his offense is immature, and he almost relies on the outside line to feed cakes to score. The only advantage is a tough attack frame, but the defensive end has made great progress, his skills have matured quickly, his running and jumping ability is top-notch, and his height and wingspan are about to catch up with Li Ao. .

It is possible to play against the Suns again in the playoffs, and Kobe has a sense of crisis.

Reasonable play and no shooting opportunities, then hard steel!

Hard steel needs strength, so practice it.

In the middle of the season, although the Lakers' opponents are mostly strong teams, the game schedule is far less intensive than the Clippers. There are 31 games in 14 days in a single month, which is 3 games less than the Clippers.

There is time to train.

Moreover, he has a perfect partner!

In single defense, Li Ao is stronger than Marion. Marion's skills are top-notch, his size is good, and he has a few teammates with strong defense, who can restrain him.

Li Ao's personal defensive skills are top-notch. Although his dynamic ability is not as good as Marion's, his static conditions are better. Anyone who encounters mid-range and long-range singles players will feel guilty.

Kobe's scalp was numb when he thought of the first three quarters of the last game against the Clippers. Although he scored 26 points in the first three quarters, he took 24 shots and made 24 of 9 shots. Thanks to the fat man standing on the sideline of the three-second zone, he can contain the opponent's center defense, and he can break into close range and score at the basket.

With 11 points in the second half of the last quarter, he was able to score two consecutive breakthroughs and retreat three-pointers thanks to the fact that the opponent did not have a defender at the far end.

Taking advantage of the fact that everyone is often in Los Angeles recently, Kobe is ready to strengthen this aspect.

However, after practicing 3 sets, Kobe's scalp felt a little numb.

30 votes, 7 scored, cast a hammer!
He shot from a fixed distance, and after the big spider realized that he would not break through and retreat, he stared at this place. He hit the iron 17 times, was intercepted twice, and blocked 4 times!
What annoyed him the most was that every time he ironed, the big spider cheered once.

While drinking, Kobe asked, "Leo, you said I'm going to shoot in the area just now, how can I better avoid your shooting interference?"

Li Ao, who was drinking water, sprayed Kobe's face with a 'pop': "Ahem, I'm the one defending you, you ask me this?"

Seeing Kobe taking a sip from the cup with no expression on his face, his mouth puffed up, and his afro was dripping water... "Ahem, it's very simple, I can hardly guard against leaning back, stepping back even further.

But if it's a game, it's also very difficult. If you break into a close range and then retreat, no matter how unconscious the wing players are and how slow their steps are, they can still make up for it. "

Kobe spit the water from his mouth back into the cup, satisfied with the answer, so he stopped spraying Spider-Man in the face.

Kobe went to the side and picked up a towel to wipe the water off the explosive head, returned to the field, asked the trainer for the ball, and said to Li Ao, "Next you attack."

"I attack?"

"Aren't you developing a back attack? I'll help you."

"..."

Li Ao looked at the exploding head with no expression at all, feeling that the high school student had a conspiracy!

At this time, the system prompts!
"Excellent sparring:
Sparring object: Kobe Bryant.

Level judgment: 5 stars (full).

Sparring content: one-on-one post-up singles attack.

Rewards for sparring: Every time you hit a mid-range shot with the back under the defense of Kobe Bryant, you will be rewarded with 50 achievement points. Every time you miss a shot, you will be deducted 20 achievement points. or 0, the sparring session failed.

Because the host is a 5-star player as a training partner, there is an opportunity to gain additional insight. After judgment, the direction of insight: understanding of oppression and defense. "

It's a good thing to have a big boss as a sparring partner!

Just take the hardest road!
...

Soon, Li Ao knew that the afro was revenge for the 30 irons in the previous 23 shots!
10 mid-range shots from the back, scored 1 goal, and was blocked 3 times.

You have to work harder to defend against the explosive head, and your movements are rougher than playing in an official game.

However, Li Ao is also very good at this kind of thing. He fought against Kobe in the middle distance, and practiced two more sets.

When Kobe attacked, Li Ao also turned on revenge mode.

So, in the blacksmith's room this evening, the whole process was "clang, clang, clang"...

Today's sparring ended earlier than usual.

Li Ao couldn't hold it anymore.

One-on-one attack is really tiring!
Moreover, in the offensive sparring, he didn't get 1 achievement point. Fortunately, the sparring partner did not deduct achievement points.

But on the defensive end, he got more achievement points than usual.

Afro took the initiative to find iron, and his achievement points rose rapidly. After entering the NBA, he lost a lot of games, and his achievement points were not stable. Only relying on the experience of Afro, he can maintain the consumption of daily training and physical therapy.

In addition, he has gained a bit of insight into the defensive aspects of oppression, and he has indeed honed his post-ups. He knows that his back-ups are all flaws in the eyes of defensive experts.

After the sparring ended, Li Ao invited Kobe to spend New Year's Eve with him at his new home. Kobe accepted and said that he would bring Vanessa to the banquet on time.

On the second rest day, the Clippers conducted preparation training.

Li Ao ushered in another piece of good news—Odom is back from injury!

Li Ao learned from the team doctor that Odom has not been idle during this period of time. Except for the first week of recuperation, he followed the trainer for physical strength training. Of course, he mostly rested.

Odom is back, and the team has added new players to the forward line. Today, the Clippers have a relatively large amount of training, and both offensive and defensive tactics have begun to make formal adjustments.

With Odom, the tactics must return to the dual-core around Zuomo-Spiderman. During the absence of Odom, Li Ao’s assists are mostly 3-4. He is not in a hurry, and Gentry is in a hurry .

Blevin Knight's excellent tandem offensive performance when encountering opponents with weak forward defense capabilities must also be incorporated into the team system.

On the defensive end, with Li Ao and Matt Harprin's front-back defensive combination, a lot of changes have to be made. Fortunately, the two are very compatible, which is relatively easy. The main reason is that the teammates need to adjust their defensive habits. .

As a team that has risen from the belly, the Clippers have been adjusting almost all the time this year, but Gentry is very happy, very committed, needs to be adjusted and can be adjusted, which means that they have always had room for improvement!
After a day of training, Odom regretted his comeback, so he might as well be injured for a while longer.

Now he feels that Spider-Man is really gentle. Apart from the shortcoming of a broken mouth, he is kind and generous... There are many advantages.

But the newcomer, Matt Halprin, is so ruthless!
Odom, who is prone to overthinking, was terrified by that body of tendons. When he slacked off in training, the new teammate would give him a light look. He was forced to focus more on defensive training.

There are people staring at both offense and defense, this day can't be passed!

...

After two days off, the Clippers ushered in a game against the Sonics at home.

The game was quite long and reached overtime!
Odom has just come back, his physical condition is good, and he has been training, but the defensive end can't keep up with the rhythm, not as good as Sean Lukes.

I didn't have good defensive habits at first, but I finally tightened up, and I was absent for more than three weeks due to injury. Now I just came back, and I have committed the same old problems from last year.

However, Odom's comeback has greatly improved the Clippers' offense!

Finally, there is a reliable ball-holding core!
After not playing a game for so long, Odom was also extraordinarily invested in the offensive end. He scored 39 points, 18 rebounds and 6 assists in 10 minutes of regular time, which led Li Ao to get 7 assists.

In regular time, the Clippers relied on their explosive offense and scored a score of 111 to 111 against the Supersonics with swarms of pitchers!
When it came to overtime, the Clippers were lucky, and the opponent's outside feel cooled down!

Gentry made a timely substitution and sent a combination of Big Q, Li Ao, Matt Harprin, Odom, and O'Neal to defend.

Odom did a poor job defending the outside line, it doesn't matter, the others shrank to protect the basket!

At 10:37 p.m., Matt Halprin switched to Payton and actively pressed. When Payton turned around and passed Matt Halprin, he turned around and encountered Spider-Man, and the ball that bounced off the shot was taken away!

In the last 9 seconds, the Clippers relied on defense to score 8-6 in overtime. Payton's key attack was interrupted, so he had to foul immediately and sent Li Ao to the free throw line, and he committed 6 fouls!

Payton was sent off, and Li Ao made two free throws, killing the opponent's last hope.

李敖22分4板7助攻2抢断4盖帽、奥多姆18分7板11助攻、小奥尼尔15分、马特-哈普林11分、大Q10分、格雷格-安东尼11分4助攻……快船队6人得分上双，力克超音速队！将战绩提升到21胜21负，重返五成胜率！
