From sparring to superstar

Chapter 169 167. They are the only ones who regret

The scene of O'Neal, Kobe, and Li Ao holding up a small trophy together marks the end of this year's All-Star Weekend.

This year's All-Star Weekend, whether it's the people on the scene or in front of the TV, plus the participating players, all eyes were opened.

Many fans have never seen a team score less than [-] points in an All-Star game in their entire lives.

The commentators are still knowledgeable. Hubie Brown of Time Warner Cable Sports remembered that in the 72-73 season, the Eastern team defeated the Western team 104-84.

Most of the players in the Eastern All-Star team were from the Celtics and Knicks. At that time, the two teams were all defensive, and they were strong defenses that could push Chamberlain from the East to the West.

As for the 13 points in the first quarter, it was reported after the game that the media found the answer. The lowest score in history, the lowest before, was in the 1952-1953 season, when the Western team led by George McCann defeated the Eastern team led by Bob Cousy. Get 15 points in a single quarter.

That game was 79-75, the lowest and second-lowest points in All-Star Game history.

But even though the Eastern team was defended with less than a hundred points, it doesn't mean that this game is not good.

On the contrary, the media commented on this game as - classic!
Recalling O'Neal sitting at the basket, Kobe standing at the top arc, Garnett standing on the sideline of the three-second zone, and Kidd and Li Ao on the two wings... Fans can feel a strong sense of oppression from the memories.

Just thinking about it, I feel a little sympathetic to the East Army, what happened to them...

The phrase 'Fu*k you Basketball Dream' that the five yelled when they played together for the first time quickly spread among the fans.

The three Los Angeles All-Stars won the AMVP together, which also aroused heated discussions.

最初看到李敖15分5板7助攻2抢断2盖帽的数据拿到AMVP，就算看了比赛的球迷，也觉得捧过头了。

It is no secret that the alliance favors Li Ao.

But seeing the Eastern Conference's highest score of 17 points, Duncan got it.

O'Neal had 21 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks.

Kobe had 19 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals.

Looking at Li Ao's data again, it seems that it is really no worse than the OK combination.

The three won the MVP...don't ask, it's a classic!
Classic games, some special ones are normal.

There have been Stockton and Malone on the same team who won the AMVP together, and O'Neal and Duncan on different teams won the AMVP together.

It is reasonable for three people in the same team and different teams to win the AMVP together!
However, the hottest topic after the game was not how strong the defensive five-man team in the West was, how classic the game was, or how the three won the AMVP.

The Lakers refused to exchange everyone except the OK combination for the Grizzlies' second pick, and this matter was brought up again.

The major media reported on this All-Star Game, and the pictures they used were all photos of the big shark standing in the middle, Afro and Spiderman on one left and one on the right, and the three of them bulging their biceps at the same time.

In the first quarter, the Western Conference team played the strongest defensive stage in the history of the All-Star Game. Whether it was offense or defense, Kidd and Garnett were the starters. The core was the Sharks. The scoring puzzle and the defensive pioneers were explosive heads. , is Spider-Man.

The media and experts agreed that if Kidd and Garnett were replaced by two ordinary club-level starters, although it would not be as amazing as when Kidd and Garnett played together, they had to go home with a basketball, but It can also beat the Eastern team to a point.

The All-Stars participating this year also praised Li Ao's talent.

Especially the group of All-Stars in the East, who were hammered so badly, they had to find a way to go down.

Other fans watched the game and saw the public opinion after the game, and they were all having fun.

Lakers fans have already broken their defenses!

They thought Spider-Man would be a good fit for the OK duo, but they didn't expect this trio to be so scary together.

And it's just a rookie Spider-Man!

Wait for Spider-Man to practice like Kobe for two or three years...

A joyful All-Star Carnival triggered riots in the Los Angeles basketball circle!
The Lakers fans collectively broke their defenses and angered the Lakers management.

After the All-Star Game ended, thousands of people gathered outside the Staples Center and Toyota Center training halls late at night to protest.

Fans of the Clippers and Trojans, fanning the flames...

...

In the evening of the next day, Li Ao, Vivienne, Liam, and Liam's new girlfriend went to San Francisco together.

Tomorrow, February 2, the Clippers will continue their 20-game trip, and the next opponent is the Warriors.

The Warriors happened to be in Oakland next door to San Francisco, and Vivienne decided to go and see them together. Liam's vacation was not over yet, so she went with them.

On the plane, Vivienne, who took Li Ao for a day in Yingjiang Emperor Capital during the day, fell asleep. After Li Ao helped the hospital aunt cover the blanket, he looked at the white clouds outside the window and turned on the system.

The achievement point in the upper right corner has reached 51115 points.

For winning the AMVP, the system rewarded 2 achievement points.

He also completed the only achievement-winning the AMVP in his rookie season, rewarding him with a skill that fits his current ball-handling skills.

"High Master Level 1: The host launches an attack from a high position with his back, turn around +2, if he chooses to turn around or step back to shoot, bounce +2, mid-range shot +2."

This skill is very good. The hard bonuses are not too low. The only disadvantage is that he needs to be able to back-up to be useful. The stronger his back-up, the better the effect of these hard bonuses.

He was very happy to get the reward, but a task was triggered last night, and he was a little sad.

"Kicking Kindergarten:

Goal: During the 2002 All-Star Weekend, the host needs to lead the sophomore team to defeat the rookie team in the All-Star Rookie Game and win the rookie game MVP.

Reward: Kick Kindergarten (level 1 skill). "

This task is really worrying.

Think of Gasol, Battier, Jason Richardson, Joe Johnson, Arenas in the 01 class...

What magic tricks did they have to use in the 00 class to win?

Look at the tragedy they encountered in the 99th class this time. With him, the difference may be 10 points higher. Those people will definitely run away even more violently.

He didn't care about games like the rookie game. This year, some people ridiculed him for avoiding battles. However, after his good performance in the All-Star Game, no one talked about it.

If it’s just that there’s a gap between strength and teammates, then they can still fight, but look at their current class, they don’t even have a serious point guard who can handle the ball. Martin Cliffs is the only point guard selected to the rookie team , Averaged 5.4 points and 2.7 assists per game so far this season.

When they reach the second grade, at most they will have more experience in the game, but that experience is completely no match for the difference in talent.

This is not a question of indisputable, but participation is tantamount to seeking abuse.

Being ridiculed by netizens for a few words, it’s not fun to see it, so just don’t watch it. It’s really not fun to run to participate in the competition. It’s a proper Black History Birth Competition.

Unless Stern turns his attention to the rookie game early and realizes that the 'Challenge' is a blind change.

But if the game is restructured, how should this task be counted?
Let's put this aside for now, let's talk about next year's rookie game next year.

If he advances by leaps and bounds and develops two more moves to hold the ball, he might be able to break the game.

If it doesn't work, just pretend there is no such task.

Abusing vegetables can also be abused by relying on strength, and torturing vegetables is not as happy as bullying the old...

...

Stayed in a hotel near Oakland in San Francisco for one night. Li Ao got up early the next day and met the team at the Oracle Arena in Oakland next door.

Gentry breathed a sigh of relief.

He wasn't worried about Li Ao's professional attitude, but that there were exceptions to everything.

Li Ao just won the AMVP, and he was praised so hard, especially by the Lakers fans and Time Warner. He is about to appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated, and has a signature shoe named after his nickname... ... Gentry put himself in Li Ao's perspective, feeling that the whole world is surrounding him.

Gentry was somewhat worried.

When he brought his players to the Oracle Arena to prepare for the game at 9:[-], he saw that Li Ao was already sweating, and all his worries dissipated.

He came from San Francisco next door, and he has been training for so long. As the head coach, he only came at this time, and he felt guilty.

work hard!Fight for the playoffs!
In the Clippers' preparation training this morning, Gentry put on some intensity and played a 10-minute team training game. He was worried that the players had been rested for the past 8 days and forgot how to play.

However, he found that he was worrying too much. They have just started to rise, and the whole team has positive energy.

In addition, if you play well, you can get more playing time and the possibility of starting, everyone is competing.

And they all have a heart.

Big Q told Maggette that he was too busy during the All-Star Weekend. He had to play the rookie game, participate in the three-point contest, and have an endorsement event, so he had no time to train.

As a result, Maggette happened to see Big Q practice three-pointers in a park near the hotel.

After scolding Pinky a few times, Maggette rolled up too.

The players performed well in training. Gentry praised the players at the end of the morning training, allowing the players to take a good rest in the afternoon and recharge their batteries for the evening game.

At noon and lunch time, Li Ao heard two news from Big Q.

One is that the Lakers agreed to the resignation application of the logo man.

At the beginning of the season, after Li Ao scored 2+ in a single game against the Grizzlies in the second game, the Lakers fans rioted and asked the Lakers to give an explanation. The man with the logo publicly stated that he applied for resignation, and the dissatisfaction of the fans instantly calmed down. , and began to persuade him not to be impulsive in turn.

But this time it didn't work, the logo man and old Buss didn't try this trick again, and with Jenny Buss behind the push, the logo man resigned from the position of general manager of the Lakers and was replaced by former general manager assistant Mitch Kupcher G took over.

Hearing this, Li Ao sighed, "As expected of the Angel City Lakers."

"Huh? Boss, why do you seem to admire them so much? Shouldn't it be a revenge? You lost the chance to partner with the OK team! Everyone is saying that you are the most perfect trio!"

"I am also very happy to partner with you."

Li Ao did not deny the regret in his heart, but expressed his true feelings now.

Big Q was really moved this time, even more so than when he got a call from Brandy.

But he still has a question: "Then why do you admire the Lakers, boss?"

"Even when they changed the general manager, it was like a film and television drama. When you told me about their change of general manager just now, you didn't say 'Big Three in Los Angeles' like when we first met in the morning. Pay attention All the power is on the infighting between the son and daughter of the Lakers owner.

They not only quelled the turmoil, but also made this matter more dramatic in the hearts of the fans, gained more attention, and had more topics to be discussed... By the way, what is the second news ? "

The more Big Q listened to it, the more he felt it made sense. Just as he was about to complain about "capitalists are real dogs", the boss suddenly changed the subject, which drove him a little crazy.

But he still replied: "My agent told me that the Nets sold Marbury, and we wanted to trade him, but failed."

"Your agent?"

"I have the same agent as Marbury."

"Oh...that's great, replacing him will probably destroy half of our team."

Big Q quickly shook his head: "That's not true. In the end, we rejected it. Our initial offer seems to be Blevins, Kenyon, and the first-round pick."

Li Ao: (((;;)))
He really dares to quote any price!
He wanted a thumbs up for Wally Walker.

Big Q continued: "The Nets didn't directly hang up the phone like the Mavericks did. They offered us back and wanted to add Jermaine or Lamar. We refused. They wanted to add others. They disagreed. For Jermaine or Lamar, we hung up."

Li Ao nodded to express his understanding.

He has a lot of courage and knows who can be traded and who cannot be traded. He appreciates this general manager.

That's right, he feels that their team is a bit of a "Los Angeles interested team"?

Is it really just a Knight + first-round offer for the entire league?

...

Li Ao felt that Tian Zun had said it well, and he had to forget him after playing the star game.

The news on the Lakers team has been hot these days, but he deliberately didn't pay attention to it, and refused all interviews. He didn't want to be affected by the regret of not being able to partner with the OK team.

If he had any thoughts on this matter, it would be just one—become stronger!Get stronger!

It is the regret of the Lakers and the Lakers fans, not his regret, that the fact that he failed to go to the Lakers has become the eternal embarrassment of the Lakers fans.

Thinking of it this way, his ambition to become stronger became stronger.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the Clippers' 8th consecutive away game against the Warriors started.

The game was very easy. In the first quarter, the Clippers led the Warriors, the last in the West, 32 to 19.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Li Ao increased the number of singles.

Li Ao played 36 minutes tonight and played a total of 9 singles, setting a new record for the highest number of singles he played against a team other than the Bulls. It was 6 times before.

The score was 25-23 in the second and third quarters, and by the official timeout of the fourth quarter, the point difference had widened to 21 points at most.

In the last few minutes, Jamison dared to fight and led the team to a wave of 18 to 10.

快船队靠着李敖的25分9板5助攻1抢断4盖帽、奥多姆的15分8助攻、布莱文-奈特的5分8助攻，以110比97击败勇士队，拿下9连胜！
