From sparring to superstar

Chapter 162. 160. Three Swords

Olowokandi struggles to overcome his fear.

Once, he thought that Gu Qi was knocked unconscious because he was attacked by surprise. He always wanted to take revenge, and he was so high or low that he gave Li Ao an elbow in the game.

Until he watched the live broadcast of the Clippers and Knicks game...

He has a bachelor's degree in economics from the University of the Pacific, so he's not angry with someone with a high school diploma.

And his father was a Nigerian diplomat who fought with the florists?How can that work? It will affect international relations!
He focuses on the game.

Pippen was suspended for 3 games for fighting, Bunche Wells was suspended for 1 games for helping fight, Kidd was suspended for 1 game when Sabonis pulled an elbow and kicked the fight, and Tianzun was suspended for [-] game for stepping into the court with his left foot...

Looking at the power forward Sean Kemp who started together, he has a sense of responsibility for the first time, and the team needs him to support the inside alone!

Although the Trail Blazers are full of villains and full of ruffians, they only talk about the game environment, which is much better than the Clippers in the past two years.

Although there are constant conflicts in the team, Sabonis has not retired, so the conflicts can be suppressed.

At first Olowokandi wanted to escape, but after a long time, he enjoyed the joy of winning, from being forced to work hard to actively working hard.

He decided that if Spider-Man dared to hit him again, he would faint immediately, and the limit was changed one by one.

He has studied the Clippers' games this season. If the Clippers don't have Li Ao as the first catch and shoot point and transition support point, the offense will inevitably collapse.

Then he wakes up tenaciously again, the king returns, and saves the team... The plan works!
Li Ao paid attention to the sugar man's expression, and really wanted to see the fear of the parallel import champion.

But the opponent's expression gradually changed from bewildered to "I want to fight", Li Ao felt dull, and he also focused on the game.

Although the opponent is missing three main players, the championship-level team that can reach the tiebreaker with the Lakers still has a strong lineup and a good depth.

How rich is Paul Allen?
Worried that Sabonis is really retired and no one will use him, he traded the top-paid Rainman back to Tianzun as a substitute. Rainman's contract includes 4 years and 5200 million left in this season, and he averaged 6 points and 4 rebounds per game this season.

In this game, their Clippers win!

If they win, they can tie the Rockets with the same record of 27 wins and 22 losses and narrow the gap with the 29 wins and 20 losses of the Sonics.

In the Wild West, there may be only one or two wins in the end.

The three main players on the opposite side were suspended. If they still can't win, they really don't deserve the playoffs.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the game between the Clippers and the Trail Blazers started.

Trail Blazers starters: Damon Stoudemire, Steve Smith, Schramf, Sean Kemp, Olowokandi.

Clippers starters: Greg Anthony, Li Ao, Matt Harprin, Odom, O'Neal.

O'Neal lost on a jump ball with Olowokandi!
Li Ao, who was playing against Olowokandi for the first time, was quite surprised. O'Neal's timing for taking off was very good, and he jumped up immediately.

But the sugar man on the other side is even faster!
Li Ao retreated quickly, blocked the flying mouse on the left who was directly attacking, and pushed the opponent's attack to the positional battle.

Little Flying Squirrel passed the ball to Schramf, and Schramf lobbed it to the sugar man who was stuck in the low position with O'Neal. The sugar man caught the ball and hit it!

With a height of 213 cm and a weight of 121 kg, Sugar Man lost 10 pounds compared to his second grader, but his explosive power was even stronger, and he knocked Jermaine O'Neal into the three-second zone with one sudden step.

Jermaine O'Neal tried his best to resist, but the second hit missed, and the sugar man turned left to the front of the basket!

O'Neal moved over immediately, but was a bit slower. Sugar Man put the ball on top of his head, and quickly threw the ball like a shot put. It hit the backboard and bounced into the frame!
O'Neill was beaten into a daze.

It was his first time playing against Olowokandi.

Is it so fierce?
Didn't you agree that everyone is a rookie who averages over 10 points per game?

In the transition between offense and defense, Odom held the ball in the top arc and gave O'Neal a look. O'Neal looked at the hunk next to him, shook his head and pulled away to a close distance.

Seeing this, Li Ao came to the right at a 45-degree angle and leaned against Steve Smith in the middle distance.

Steve Smith stuck to Li Ao tightly, Li Ao suddenly turned and cut in, and Odom passed the ball immediately.

Li Ao caught the ball in a hurry and took off. Sugar Man made a close-range defense from a save.

hit!

He is quite proficient at turning back without the ball. In addition, the first pitcher of the "perfect warm-up" feels hot, helping O'Neal return the sugar ball.

Offensive and defensive transitions, sugar people continue to play low singles.

Little O'Neal guarded against the candy man turning around, but the center of gravity did not sink completely. The candy man hit two steps into the three-second zone, raised the ball, raised it high and hit a throw...and hit it again!
When it came time for the Clippers to attack, Li Ao continued to turn around and cut in from the middle distance at a 45-degree angle on the right. The pinch is in place, pass to the bottom line on the right, Matt Harprin catches the ball and makes a two-pointer!

Li Ao quickly retreated to the defense, and it feels great to have the ball to attack!

Although it is not enough to deal with those opponents who are good in single defense, but if the opponent's defensive ability is average, whether it is scoring or passing the ball, he can play more easily!

It was the Trail Blazers offense again, and Momonga continued to pass the ball to Olowokandi in the low post.

Li Ao was a little confused. Although Olowokandi's singles performance was very good and exceeded his expectations, but a big center has always been like this?

Even big sharks don't use it like this!
Olowokandi continued to play singles, turned left to the middle, followed the cut-in Camp and shrank to the right side of the three-second zone. Odom made up. Olowokandi scored the ball, and Kemp took the ball and took a step back. Mid-range from the bottom line on the right, a mid-range shot...hit!
The rain man is now useless for inside offense. This season, the shooting rate at the basket is only 48%, but this adjective is true for the rain man. He practiced casually and achieved a 43% shooting rate The bottom-line mid-range shot and 42% shooting from the baseline are two points long.

The Trail Blazers scored three goals in a row, and when the Clippers attacked, Odom caught the ball from the sideline and made a three-pointer.

Little Flying Squirrel grabbed the defensive rebound, counterattacked and made a layup.

8 to 4, the Trail Blazers lead by 4 points at the start!
The Trail Blazers played in this wave of 4 consecutive games, and the Clippers players were taken aback for a while.

Fortunately, Li Ao followed up with a two-pointer on the flank facing Schramf's supplementary defense. He didn't give the opponent a chance to open the point difference to more than 5 points, and stabilized the morale of the army.

The opening situation was very different from what was expected, but Gentry didn't call a timeout, and signaled the players to continue playing. He couldn't think of any other way except flanking.

Fortunately, they did not encounter unexpected situations on the offensive end. Pippen was not there, Steve Smith was over 30 years old, and he did not have the excellent defense of the Jagged Eagles. Can support the offensive firepower.

When it came time for the Trail Blazers to attack, after Olowokandi played 3 rounds, the Flying Squirrel took up the banner of offense.

This season, Little Flying Squirrel is in good condition. At the age of 27, he entered his peak period, averaging 14.9 points per game, second in the team, and 5.7 assists per game, the highest in the team.

He shot 44% from the field, a career high, 36.9% of the three-pointers, and averaged 1.9 three-pointers per game, and most of them were singles. 43% of the long two-pointers performed well, and 54% of the baskets The shooting percentage is not bad for a player who is less than 180 cm tall.

Little Flying Squirrel breaks through, Schramf responds from a high position, Olowokandi eats cakes at the basket, Steve Smith moves on the wing to contain Li Ao, and the bottom line can make a shot... The Clippers can't defend!
After the little flying mouse attacked for two rounds, he returned the main attack to the sugar man, and the sugar man continued to chisel.

The Clippers continued to choose to respond offensively.

The two teams fought back and forth.

In terms of inside, although O'Neal was annoyed by the hammer, he was calmly analyzing how to limit the sugar man's singles.

Yes, his thinking has changed from locking up the opponent before the game to restricting.

But before he thought of a way, he took precautions, and found that the sugar man's back hit was not so violent, and his turning speed was still fast, but the confrontation before turning was not so fierce, so he might stick to it!

Although he was afraid of the opponent's footstep changes, but in the second round, O'Neal chose to gamble and try to stick it... The sugar man didn't change any movements, and he still pushed a shot put to hit the basket when he was stuck!
Jermaine O'Neal saw the right time and slapped Olowokandi's layup!
Greg Anthony grabbed the ball and passed it to Odom. Odom counterattacked and dribbled a few steps. A long pass was made to Li Ao who was about to come down. Momonga forced a dunk with both hands to score 2+1!

The fans at the scene were all cheering for Li Ao's goal, and many people cheered for O'Neal's capping of the sugar man.

But O'Neal, who was surrounded by the cheers of the fans, wanted to scold the street at this moment!Want to hit someone!

He has been guarding against changes in Sugar Man's offensive end, preventing him from being lonely!

This guy showed three tricks tonight-back-to-back, back-to-back, turn and middle hook, catch the ball and turn around and shoot from close range.

The best thing about Sugar Man is that he has a superstar-level close-range shooting performance. He is on the same level as Duncan, Garnett, Kobe and others, and his close-range shooting percentage is a bit higher than that of Webber and O'Neal.

But there is nothing else except these three axes!
If I had known this before, what would I spend so many brain cells on? Just fight me crazy. Although I might not be able to handle it at the best stage of my sugar body, at least I could use up my best stage of my sugar body sooner. , it wouldn't be hammered for so many rounds.

After Li Aojia made a free throw, it was time for the Trail Blazers to attack.

The sugar man waved his hands at Little Momonga, and then went to stand close to meet him.

The Trail Blazers immediately switched to the main attack mode from the outside line. Little Flying Squirrel played singles, Schramf responded, Steve Smith caught and shot from the wing, and the two insiders responded on the baseline.

The switching process is silky smooth and smooth.

Little O'Neill's whole body is not well-everyone else is showing off, only he was beaten!

The most exasperating thing is that he has been fighting against the air for so long!
