From sparring to superstar

Chapter 185 183. Born Superstar

Looking at the team members gathered around to celebrate, Gentry let out a long sigh of relief.

Finally won!

He pretended to be calm, commanding calmly, but panicked in his heart!
With 30 points and 7 assists, the parallel importer on the opposite side has something to do after practicing for a few years.

It's a pity that the style of play doesn't match their Spider-Man.

Not to mention anything else, as long as Li Ao is playing on the back at a high position, Tanhualang's style of play on the opposite side will not be able to cooperate.

Just as the Timberwolves couldn't sacrifice Garnett for Billups, he wouldn't be so stupid as to bring back the point guard and make Li Ao a pure catch-up shooter. He still prefers Nash, who in his mind is the perfect ball-handler As a guard, Marbury can also, and Li Ao can get together.

Thinking of Li Ao's back hitting, even Gentry, who has seen Li Ao grow up every game, is speechless.

The new technology developed in the middle of the season, by the end of the season, can already be used as a way for the team to launch offense in the face of no single defense master.

Kneel down to thank the former boss in the mental hospital for cutting off Spider-Man!
Next time he is free, he will buy a wreath and visit a mental hospital!

...

The Clippers defeated the Timberwolves, and all 8 playoff teams in the West were released.

Fans felt crazy to see the 47-win Sonics lose their playoff hopes two games early.

But there are crazier ones.

Both the Clippers and Timberwolves have 49 wins. It is self-evident that the two teams want to compete for the 7th place. The last two games must be full of victories. It is basically certain that there will be a grand occasion of 50+ wins in the Western Conference playoffs!
Since the expansion of the NBA to 1985 teams and 23 playoff spots in 16, this is the first time!
But compared to this, fans care more about Spider-Man's personal performance.

In the defeat of the Timberwolves, Li Ao scored 29 points. With two games left, there are still 49 points left, and he averaged 25 points per game!

So far this season, only one player has averaged 1+25+5 per game, Kobe Bryant of the Lakers.

Looking at the modern basketball era, there are only a handful of players who can get such data.

And Li Ao may have achieved such an achievement in his rookie season!

After a lapse of 3 years, that adjective appeared again in the NBA—a natural superstar!
The player who caused such a sensation and received such a title in his rookie season last time-Tim Duncan!

On April 4th, the most watched "natural superstar" and his teammates came to the Oracle Arena in Oakland to challenge the Warriors away.

What kind of team can be called the best bad team, the king of bad teams?
The Warriors are!
There are many bad teams, no matter how bad the results are, the players will always make some headway, such as scoring a stat or something.

But the Warriors didn't, because several of their "cores" could only play on their own. They ate the meat, chewed the bones and swallowed them, and didn't leave a bite of the soup.

In addition to waiting for the "core" to pass out when they are tired of shooting, and catch the ball and make a shot, most of the Warriors players don't even have a chance to collect statistics.

The Warriors have also become a player's grave. If they are not strong enough to get the ball from Jamison, Larry Hughes, Blakelow, etc., unless it is a defensive center like Dampier or Foyer A meat shield center, otherwise coming here is basically tantamount to entering the countdown to leaving the NBA.

According to statistics from the media last summer, in the past five seasons, the number of players who did not get the next contract after the expiration of each team's contract, the Warriors ranked first.

At the same time, the Warriors have also become the target of scoring by major stars.

Players on other bad teams, seeing a famous star coming, can't win anyway, so they target that star, but the Warriors don't even have the slightest unity.

Except for the few who have the ball, the rest of the Warriors players have become extremely numb.

Many people are looking forward to them being able to snipe Spider-Man tonight, such as a certain head coach in Texas.

But the Warriors, except for Larry Hughes, who is going to face Spider-Man, no one cares about this matter. They all want to end the season quickly, settle the salary, and use the holiday to heal the spiritual trauma of this season.

At 8 p.m., the Warriors' game against the Clippers begins.

The Warriors players turned on the spectator mode again, watching Jamison and the opponent's scorer.

贾米森今晚疯狂出手36次，36投15中，其中三分球11中4，加上9中7的罚球，狂飙41分10板3抢断。

The Warriors players also have to admit that this "core teammate" is really strong in personal ability. Of the 36 shots, as many as 29 were singles, and 3 were second offenses. Only 4 shots were catches. shoot.

On the opposite side of Spider-Man, most of the scoring is running, catching and shooting.

Facing Larry Hughes' defense, Li Ao's back-up efficiency was low. He started 4-of-1 and gave up decisively.

Gentry sent Blevin Knight, Odom, Matt Harprin, and O'Neal to partner with Li Ao to help Li Ao create shooting opportunities.

This scene has the style of Booker playing the Celtics in the future.

开局单打4回合后，接下来的36分钟时间里，李敖出手36次，36投19中，其中三分球10中6，10次三分出手有8次是借掩护后就直接大空档……外加5中5的罚球！
But the Clippers are not the last Suns team in the West, and the Warriors are not the Celtics team that is the number one Suns team in the East playing monkeys.

打到末节5分15秒，李敖两罚全中被换下时，快船队以86比67领先勇士队19分。

40投20中，其中三分球10中6，外加5中5的罚球，李敖狂飙51分，外加8板1助攻4抢断1盖帽！

When Li Ao was replaced, Jamieson only took 31 shots, and then made 5 angry shots...

At 10:22 p.m., the game ended.

The Clippers beat the Warriors 101-85!
After the final whistle sounded, there were wild cheers again.

Tonight, the Oracle Arena is full, and there are a lot of Chinese and overseas Chinese who are definitely not here to support the Warriors.

When Li Ao scored 51 points and was replaced, the cries of 'We want Spider Man' continued until the final whistle sounded.

Gentry also wants to keep Li Ao on the court, there is still half a quarter left!

But on the opposite side, Larry Hughes has already pulled Li Ao down for a layup.

Let their Spiderman continue to brush, he is afraid that Larry Hughes will be killed.

Looking at the record of 50 wins and 31 losses, Gentry wanted to cry.

He can have today!
He restrained his emotions, precious tears should not be shed at this time.

An hour ago, he received a text message from a scout. The Timberwolves lost to the Jazz at home, and their record became 1 wins and 49 losses. Even if they won the last game, they would only have 32 wins.

On their side, Spider-Man won the "score share" of two games in one game, and averaged 0+ points per game with 25 points in the last game.

He definitely wants to help Li Ao average 25 points per game, and if he doesn't get 50 wins, he will rush.

Averaging 25 points per game ahead of schedule, the situation couldn't be better!
Now, as long as they win the curtain call, they will definitely be able to get No. 7 in the Western Conference, with a clear goal.

Spider-Man also has no pressure to score, and can play more freely.

The other players also have no distractions. When playing against the Timberwolves, there were two situations where teammates deliberately passed the ball for Spider-Man but made mistakes. They can devote themselves to the curtain call without distraction!

...

Although the game between the Clippers and the Warriors was not over-broadcasted because there was a focus match between the Lakers and the Kings at the same time, but in terms of the attention of the media and fans, the former is really no worse than the latter, which has a live broadcast.

After the game, the attention of the Clippers is much higher than that of the Lakers who defeated the Kings to lock the regular season championship.

But the Clippers won 50 wins, and not many people cared.

The focus of the media and fans is Li Ao's third 3+ in a single game this season!Refreshed the record of 50+ times in a rookie season held by himself and the basketball emperor Chamberlain!And lock in an average of 50 points per game in advance!
At the same time, he also broke the record of 40+ times in a single game in a rookie season in the modern basketball era held by the basketball god!

When Li Ao scored 52 points last time, he had already tied Jordan's 7 single-game 40+ points in his rookie season.

Now Li Ao has surpassed Jordan with 8 times of 40+ in a single game, and is the first in a single game of 40+ in a rookie season in the modern basketball era!

Everyone knew that Li Ao would definitely score points tonight, but they didn't expect to score so hard!

According to reports from reporters on the scene, the entire Clippers team was passing the ball for Li Ao. Even if he was tired of running and shooting and stood aside, the rest of the Clippers wanted to pass the ball to him.

This Hongguoguo's scoring behavior has reached an outrageous level.

However, compared with Jamison, who made 36 of 16 shots on the opposite side, Li Ao's performance was already quite efficient.

And once someone said that Li Ao scored 51 points, some fans posted the data of Iverson's 5 consecutive 40+ defeats in his rookie season.

What happened to the rookie score?
What's more, it's still winning points!

Many passers-by have even become fans because of Li Ao's "true temperament".

Li Ao answered without hesitation in the interview after the game-"Yes, I am scoring points tonight, and the opponent happens to be the bottom one in the Western Conference. We are sure to win, and they didn't pinch me. Of course I want to score points. To ensure that I can score more than 49 points in the last two games, I pretend to be selfless and don’t care about statistics at this time, and if I miss the average of 25 points per game by a few points in the end, I will cry and faint in the toilet.”

After this interview report came out, it caused huge controversy. Li Ao was criticized by many people, and he gained a lot of black fans, but he also had countless fans!
At the same time, push the heat of the topic to the peak!
...

"Snake, why didn't you say a word today? Did you bite your tongue again for fear of being laughed at by me?"

"Didn't you all lock the regular season championship ahead of time? 58 wins, really impressive, but why do you still look unhappy?"

"Is it because Iverson is going to win the MVP? It's all right. Although you are not favored by the media, your strength can win an MVP."

"Or did you quarrel with Vanessa? No, she was very happy when she gave Vivien a gift at noon, and she didn't seem to have quarreled with you."

"I surpassed Jordan, Snake, don't you congratulate me?"

"..."

"..."

Looking at Li Ao who was slumped on the back of the chair, Kobe's fists were already clenched.

Started training at 4:[-] p.m., and kept nagging.

They were already so tired that they were paralyzed, yet their mouth still had the strength to continue babbling.

He has been called the nickname 'Snake' for a long time, and he can bear it. Anyway, he is the only one who calls it like this.

But this bad mouth... this guy should be able to beat him in his current state, right?

The picture of him incarnated as a Star Wars soldier lifting up the big spider and slamming it frantically appeared in Kobe's mind.

Just think about it. He hasn't said a word since we met today. After leaving a sentence of "my wedding on the 19th, don't forget", he left without taking a shower.

If you really can't help but do it, being hammered by a tired and paralyzed big spider is more humiliating than being beaten by a big spider in its prime.

Li Ao yelled a few words, seeing that Kobe was leaving faster, he could only give up.

After resting for a while, after not being so tired, I took out the hamburger in the bag, used the 'body therapy function', and ate a hamburger to satisfy my hunger.

After scoring 51 last night, the world was buzzing. He enjoyed it at first, but it got too loud. He escaped from the media pestering him and went to the blacksmith to train.

With 50 wins, he certainly wants to get 51 wins to lock in the 7th place in the Western Conference. The Timberwolves' last game is on the 18th.

Relying on others is far less reliable than relying on yourself.

Unfortunately, their Clippers record in the division is not as good as the Timberwolves' record in the division.

In the Pacific Division where they are located, there are 7 teams, and 5 of them have entered the playoffs this season. Their Clippers have the worst record among these 5 teams.

In the Midwest Division where the Timberwolves are located, only 3 teams have entered the playoffs, and the other two are the Mavericks and the Jazz.

If the record is the same, their Clippers rank lower and can only lead.

This afternoon, he practiced the back jumper facing the defense. When he was practicing against Kobe, he also practiced this most of the offensive training.

Marion will be guarding him tomorrow, and it's hard to get easy shots.

Although practicing for an afternoon won't improve much, but it's worthless if you grind your guns before the battle.

Moreover, he also got 1 point of step-back shooting experience package from the explosive head.

The media kept asking the same questions, and Li Ao got annoyed.

But when he returned home after taking a shower, he happily discussed 40+ times, 50+ times, averaging 25 points per game...and so on in front of the excited auntie.

The main thing is to look at the face. Those media have sent "experienced" veteran reporters to deal with Li Ao. These people have been asking similar questions, so they must not make him feel irritated.

After a night of rest, on the second day, April 4, the last game day of the regular season for the Clippers arrived.

When Li Ao came to the Staples Center in the morning, he saw the scene of a sea of ​​people outside the stadium.

Most of them were fans wearing their Clippers jerseys or team t-shirts. This scene made him very excited.

He ran into a long-time Clippers fan in his forties at Memorial Stadium yesterday afternoon.

The fan thanked him, at this time in previous years, they would have felt 'the season is over', but now...

At 9:[-] in the morning, the Clippers team assembled to prepare for the game.

Li Ao, who practiced mid-range shooting for an extra hour, said loudly after his teammates arrived:

"After tonight's game, the regular season is over.

but!The new journey has just begun!
Get rid of Kidd!Start the playoffs! "

　Ask for a monthly pass!
