From sparring to superstar

Chapter 163 161. I should be number one in any year!

Qi returns to Qi, but Tangren has three tricks, he doesn't even have a new move now, so he can only hold back.

In those years of the Trail Blazers, Jermaine O'Neal didn't have nothing to gain, and he has a strong psychological endurance in this respect.

He threw himself into the defense, the block guards, and calmly dissected something.

Tianzun and Sabonis can't fight, so Sugar Man is the only ball-holding point inside the Trail Blazers.

Little Flying Squirrel didn't seem to think about the continuity of Sugar Man's offensive end, which meant that Sugar Man's physical condition after losing weight was not as good as his playing time seemed.

It is probably similar to the 127 kg center of the Suns. The normal style of play is to attack and eat cakes, and the defense can't get out of the basket.

He thought about it carefully, no matter how talented the sugar man is, it will only take half a year for him to change his attitude after being oppressed by those ball hooligans, and his physical strength will not improve much.

The sugar man's main attack tonight is a strange move by the opponent, taking advantage of the sugar man's physical strength at the beginning to attack.

It's just that he was stupid and waited until the other party had erupted before he found out.

In the Blazers' offense, the flying mouse broke through the emergency stop and made a mid-range shot.

When it was the Clippers' turn to attack, Jermaine O'Neal had an idea, and he took the initiative to pull out to Greg Anthony for a pick-and-roll.

Seeing the following sugar man standing on the free throw line hesitantly, the experienced Greg Anthony understood what O'Neal meant, and took a decisive three-pointer after using the screen...Go in!
The sugar man looked annoyed, with 'I should expand' written all over his face.

The rest of the Clippers also understood what O'Neal wanted to do and actively cooperated and adjusted.

In the next Clippers offense, the sugar man defended O'Neal, O'Neal went to the top pick and roll, the sugar man defended Odom, and Odom went to the flank to pick and roll for Li Ao.

Pull Olowokandi from the inside and don't give him a chance to stay in the basket and defend easily!
Olowokandi's physical talent is also no one else. When he expands to defend against pick-and-rolls, he can retract to the basket to complete the defense.

Pulling Olowokandi out to defend the pick-and-roll, the Clippers' offense has not been substantially improved.

However, at the end of the first quarter, Olowokandi huddled under the basket and couldn't come out!

No, it should be said that they can't get out!
On the last attack of the first quarter, the Clippers had the ball.

Blevin Knight, who came off the bench, rushed to close range, Olowokandi stepped on the reasonable collision zone line to cover Boykins' throwing space, and Blevin Knight scored the ball in the three-second zone On the left, Jermaine O'Neal catches and shoots from close range...

hit!

Little O'Neill smiled.

His real purpose has been achieved!
Affect Olowokandi's frame guard?No!
His purpose is to consume Olowokandi, so that the tallest player in the game really cannot leave the three-second zone!
That way he can easily score from close range.

Why are many experts and media saying that he has 'superstar appearance' this season?Because of his ability to shoot from close range!
Olowokandi's close-range shooting rate is at the superstar level of Duncan, Garnett, and Kobe, and so is O'Neal!

...

The consumption of Olowokandi is complete, and the game has just begun!
Jermaine O'Neal made a close-range shot, and the Clippers only overtook the score 32 to 31 without taking advantage.

Olowokandi scored 8 points in the first quarter, and his performance was very explosive, but it was not the highest score of the Trail Blazers.

Flying Squirrel scored 13 points and 3 assists in the first quarter!

The ESPN commentator who broadcast the game saw the performance of the little flying mouse and mentioned a game in the 95-96 season.

In his rookie season, Little Momonga was fearless in the face of the Bulls with 60 wins and 7 losses. He beat Ron Harper, Jordan and Pippen in a row, scored 30 points and 11 assists, and led the Raptors to 109 games. 108 Killing God Successfully!

That game is still regarded as the best game in the history of the Raptors.

The commentator mentioned the performance of Little Flying Mouse during the rookie contract stage. In the second grade, he had already averaged 20.2 points and 8.8 assists per game.

However, after he was traded back to his hometown team, the Trail Blazers, he gave up most of the ball and shot rights, and changed to counterattack, singles assault, and sudden distribution to cooperate with Pippen and Sabonis. It fell to 20+8, but he has no complaints because he can win.

A player willing to sacrifice.

The 27-year-old is currently at the peak of his combination of physical fitness and technology, and he is in good form tonight. He stood up when the core of the frontcourt was suspended, showing his aura in the Raptors period!
Entering the inter-section break, after Gentry made lineup rotation and play adjustments, fortunately they were not careless because of the opponent's two starters and two main substitutes.

The big dog's ability to make money is too much!
A team has 5 players with an annual salary of more than 800 million dollars, and there is a Steve Smith with an annual salary of more than [-] million dollars.

Fortunately, the players on their side are very cautious and hardworking, and under the leadership of Jermaine O'Neal, they have made effective independent adjustments.

Since you can't guard against Little Momonga, then bang!
The intermission is over and the second quarter begins.

The Clippers sent a combination of Blevin Knight, Big Q, Li Ao, Matt Harprin, and Chris Mihm to continue their offense.

For the Trail Blazers, they can only point to Little Flying Squirrel, Steve Smith, and veteran Schramff.

O'Neal's consumption strategy not only made Olowokandi inseparable from the three-second zone, but also eliminated the possibility of Olowokandi's main singles attack again after he recovered.

In fact, it's not that Olowokandi didn't see the other party's purpose, otherwise he wouldn't hesitate to go out at first, but there is no way, Pippen and Tianzun are not there, so he has to do more things.

The Trail Blazers coach Mike Dunleavy also saw it, but he had no choice but to suspend all frontcourt players. He didn't even have the conditions to let Olowokandi rest. The No. [-] pick continued to play.

In the second quarter, the Trail Blazers were more offensive than in the first quarter. The Flying Squirrel led the team to score 38 points and suppressed the Clippers who scored 37 points in a single quarter. After halftime, the two teams tied at 69.

Back from the intermission, the offensive firepower of both teams began to decline.

In the first half, Steve Smith scored 4 three-pointers, Big Q and Piakowski also scored two three-pointers each, and both teams performed well with long two-pointers. Either the star of his playing year or the former star, the Clippers are supported by Li Ao and Matt Harprin.

But in the second half, the performance of the veterans and role players of the two teams began to decline in the long-range shots, and they hit the iron again and again.

At this time, the Clippers with Li Ao began to take the initiative!

The opponent's mid-range shots and long two-pointers started to hit the iron, and they began to frantically block the three-pointers of Little Flying Mouse and Steve Smith.

快船队在第三节打出了27比23的单节比分，以96比92取得4分领先优势！
In the final quarter, the Clippers continued their performance in the third quarter and steadily scored 27 points again.

The Trail Blazers made 22 of 6 shots in a single quarter, including 8 of 0 three-pointers!

末节奥洛沃坎迪在内线玩儿命冲抢，拿到6次罚球，5投2中加上6中4的罚球单节拿到8分，但开拓者队全队只拿到18分。

小飞鼠29投13中，其中三分球16中7……末节5中0的三分球拉低了投篮表现，加上4中4的罚球，拿到37分11助攻。

Olowokandi showed his strength in the first and last quarters, scoring 23 points, 13 rebounds and 3 blocks.

Schramf is old and strong, temporarily took on important tasks, and performed well, scoring 12 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists.

Steve - Smith scored 26 points to set a new season high.

The Trail Blazers performed extremely well tonight with four less main players, but the opposite team performed even better!
小奥尼尔22分12板3助攻3盖帽、奥多姆11分7板10助攻、马特-哈普林12分、格雷格-安东尼6分3助攻、布莱文-奈特4分9助攻……

And most importantly, after the role players missed long shots in the second half, 27 points in the half helped the Clippers to prop up Li Ao's offense!

Li Ao voted hi tonight!
In fact, he was under a lot of pressure at the beginning. The opponent's offensive firepower was too fierce, and they had to keep scoring goals.

In such a game, his defensive contribution has been greatly weakened.

But on the offensive end, he is prone to opportunities here, and he has entered a desperate mode, throwing the opportunity when it comes!

He kept shooting and shooting... and kept going!

In the first half, when the two teams were racing together, he had less pressure to score and scored 24 points.

When he needed to score more goals in the second half, he did it, with 27 points in the half!
123 to 110, the Clippers' three major frontcourt collectively showed their strength, beat the Trail Blazers at home, won 5 consecutive victories, and tied the ninth Rockets in the West!

But at this time, the fans at the scene no longer care about the outcome, and everyone is shouting "Spiderman".

Everyone in the Clippers, players and coaches also gathered around Li Ao.

35投22中，其中三分球4中2，加上6中5的罚球，他今晚拿到51分7板3助攻1抢断3盖帽！

"I buy it, boss, it's crazy! You scored 51 points!" Big Q rushed forward to hug the boss...but was swung away by Li Ao.

Li Ao ran to the opposite side of the technology platform, the old man stood up "chuckled" and went to meet him... But Li Ao passed by from his whole world, hugged and kissed Vivian who jumped up beside him.

The old man blew his beard and stared: Dean Teng is right!This kid has the opposite sex and no humanity!
Under the gaze of 2 people at the scene, Vivienne was a little shy, and gently pushed Li Ao away, sat back on the sidelines, and returned the eyes of the fans to her family Leo.

Li Ao frowned at the courtyard assistant auntie, turned around, raised her head and opened her arms, enjoying the cheers of the fans.

Of course he knew he had scored 51 points, and they were leading by 35 points with 11 seconds left, but he still chose to rush to the frontcourt and rely on 'marathon level 2' to complete a counterattack layup.

35 seconds, what if the opponent gets 13 points?
They have to lead by at least 13 points to ensure victory!
Definitely not because he already had 49 points at the time!

After enjoying the fanatical shouts from the fans, Li Ao folded his arms and accepted the interview. People from the TV station came.

"Congratulations on scoring 51 points. It's incredible. Do you have anything to say in your heart now?"

Li Ao glanced at the opposite player tunnel, and saw the dejected back of Sugar Man...

"A lot of people said that in 2000, when the draft was so small, I should have been the No. [-] pick, but I don't think so.

I think in any given year, I should be the No. [-] pick! "
