From sparring to superstar

Chapter 214 212. Battle OK!

Li Ao put away his distracting thoughts and focused on the game in front of him.

Ambition and dreams must go all out to realize, but the game must be played one game at a time.

He opened the player evaluation report.

"Shaq O'Neal, 29 years old, 216 cm, 165 kg (overload), comprehensive evaluation 98 (restricted physical strength)..."

(d)
This is a little outrageously fat!

"Kobe Bryant, 23 years old, 198 cm, 95 kg, overall evaluation 98..."

The duo of the OK group is still number one in the world.

Li Ao watched the preseason video of the Lakers these days.

The new rules have an impact on O'Neill, but in his opinion, it may not necessarily have a greater impact than other insiders.

And O'Neal adapts to the rules faster than others. In the first preseason game, he tried to take the lead in protesting the new rules, and took 11 defensive triples in the half.

As a result, the insiders of other teams obviously took several defensive three-seconds, but all of them said in interviews that "the new rules are good, it is a manifestation of the progress and development of basketball", "the new rules make basketball more fair, Increased chances for outside players to score in the paint" and so on.

O'Neill was so angry... In the second preseason game, he began to get familiar with the new rules seriously. After the preseason game, O'Neal was already one of the best center forwards in evading the three-second defense.

The main theme is 'If you don't make me feel good, I will make you suffer'.

In addition to the OK combination, the Lakers only have one 80+ player, Fisher, who has just turned 27, and his overall evaluation is just 80.

Li Ao has not competed with Xiaoyu next door, but he attaches great importance to each other. His strong body is at the peak of his athletic ability to dunk Iverson in the fast break. Rather, it is a test.

上赛季季后赛费舍尔复出打满16场，场均13分3.8板3助攻1.3抢断，48%的投篮命中率、51%的三分命中率，冠军球队三当家姿态尽显。

The other Lakers players... can only be said to be veterans with experience and strong tactical awareness.

Most of the players are still from the period of two consecutive championships. There are 3 important signings. To replace Horace Grant's blue-collar power forward Samaki Walker.

The basic salary was dug from the Wizards to Mitch Richmond, who averaged 16.2 points, 2.9 rebounds and 3 assists last season. However, the former "second shooting guard in the league" was in extremely poor condition in the preseason, and he was obviously unable to catch the ball. As a pitcher and top-arc support player, it is difficult to replace Rick Fox, and it is far less good than Glenn Rice.

In addition to introducing these three players, the Lakers management also engaged in a show operation-grabbing a meat shield in the free market.

Gerani McCoy, a center selected by the Supersonics in the second round of 98, this player basically does not have the ability to play in the NBA, but he can play with more than 100 million dollars a year until now, because although he is only 208 cm , but with a weight of 128 kilograms, he was one of the best center forwards who did one-on-one defense against O'Neal last season.

At the end of last season, the Sonics, who gave up the championship, did not renew McCoy's contract, and the Lakers won him first.

This operation, Li Ao thinks it is quite powerful!

Originally, he also thought that the 15th player on their side would sign a meat shield insider, but it didn't matter, it would be nice to sign Jordan.

On the field, the opening ceremony of the Lakers has come to an end, and the 13th championship flag in the history of the Lakers is raised at the Staples Center... Li Ao has received a mission reminder!

"The Lakers have returned to glory, the OK combination is unstoppable, and they are moving towards the establishment of a new dynasty... Mission: Triggered by a dim flag."

"Banner of Dim Light:

Goal: Beat the Lakers.

Reward: Designated skill 'Shark' level 4 skill upgrade card. "

...

At 7:40 in the evening, the Lakers finished their work, and the two sides of the game entered the pre-match preparation stage.

Li Ao got rid of distracting thoughts and came to the court to shoot hot shots.

At 7:58, when the referee informed the two teams to start the game, he had already entered a state of concentration and devoted himself to the upcoming game.

They continued the starting lineup of the preseason, and the opposite side sent the starting lineup of Fisher, Kobe, Rick Fox, Samaki Walker, and O'Neal.

When Li Ao put some chalk on the field again, he saw the two insiders coming to the center circle, and he mourned for his teammates.

O'Neill looked at O'Neal Jr. with a murderous expression.

what!
Little O'Neill also looked at O'Neill with the same murderous eyes.

O'Neal of their Clippers has become more brave and fearless!

Needless to say, Li Ao felt more confident with O'Neal's unyielding attitude, and so did the rest of the Clippers.

This is what a young team needs!
At 8 o'clock in the evening, the game began.

The referee blew the whistle and threw the ball into the air, and O'Neal quickly bounced the ball when it reached the highest point, grabbing the ball back before O'Neal!
The Clippers go first!
Li Ao jumped off in surprise, but Rick Fox reacted very quickly and retreated immediately, keeping his position between Li Ao and the basket.

Fisher moved from the position of receiving the ball from the free throw line to the position of blocking the fast break, showing the tacit understanding of defense.

In the middle, O'Neal also retreated from the middle to the basket at an exaggerated speed with that figure.

Li Ao raised his hand during the sprint, slipped around the opponent all the way to the bottom line, ran out from the right side of the three-second zone, and returned to the high position.

O'Neill snorted, it was purely for him to run two more steps, but he still had to rush back to the basket with all his strength, otherwise the opposite Zuomo's lob would definitely be sent to the basket.

He left the three-second zone, and when O'Neal came over, he returned to the three-second zone, stretched out his middle finger against O'Neal's back, and tried to get as close to the basket as possible.

Even though the referee is so professional, he curled his lips when he saw this scene.

I saw it, I saw it, this is an arm's length away, and I won't blow the defense for three seconds.

Odom advanced to the frontcourt and passed the ball to Mike Bibby. The latter held the ball from the top arc.

Kobe was angry for Jordan, the first attack of the season was not the god of basketball, but a big spider!
Anger turned into anger, Kobe quickly invested in off-ball defense, following Jordan who was running on the tight wing with a cover.

Zen Master couldn't help nodding when he saw Kobe pay attention to cutting off the passing line when he went around the pick-and-roll.

With the pressure brought by Spider-Man next door's running to catch and shoot, Kobe has been working hard to improve his off-ball defensive ability last season. In the summer, he also went to the former best defensive player Payton for advice, and the results were remarkable.

Zen Master is happy for Kobe, and another of his players is now playing with his life.

Jordan and Odom flanked and took Samaki Walker away from the center, and Li Ao hit Rick Fox with a high back.

Rick Fox lowered his center of gravity to bear the impact...but he resisted with all his strength, and was knocked back by Li Ao.

Rick Fox struggled to throw back, but the opponent had already turned and raised the ball, and he could only watch the opponent's picturesque posture throw the ball into the frame!

With a basic mid-range shot of 90, plus the mid-range shot +3 of the 'High Master Level 2', Li Ao now has the mid-range shot accuracy of last season's catch-and-shoot!
Rick Fox cries (^)
How to prevent this!A little smaller in size, his strength is no worse than that of a power forward.

How about switching defenses with the Black Mamba?
He looked at Kobe, thinking that the other party would ignore him, but the other party understood what he meant and nodded towards him.

Yaoshou Lai, is this still that inhuman afro?No!I won't call him 'Cold Afro' in private from now on. From today on, he accepts the nickname Black Mamba!
In the transition of offense and defense, Fisher advanced to the frontcourt and passed to Rick Fox.

Rick Fox dribbles in the top arc, waiting for his teammates to settle down, while watching for sneak attack opportunities.

The opponent's defensive position was very good and did not give a chance.

There is one thing that he is not reconciled to - Odom is defending against him, Spiderman is defending Black Mamba, O'Neal is keeping up with Sharks, Bibby is following Fisher to the bottom corner, the god of basketball is defending Samaki -Walker...he thought he could match up with the basketball gods!
Fisher came to the bottom corner on the left, Samaki Walker came to the bottom line on the right, Rick Fox was about to hit the ball, but he had a difficult time-two big brothers, don't mess with me!I am a dealer!

Kobe, who was leaning against Li Ao on the right side of the three-second zone, and O'Neal, who was leaning on O'Neal in the low position on the left side of the three-second zone, wanted the ball at the same time!
After a second of hesitation, Rick Fox lobs the ball to Kobe.

This is even more difficult to coax when you are angry.

No, O'Neill just gave him a fierce look, then put away his positions and prepared to rush.

When Kobe received the ball, he was in a happy mood instantly. He turned around and stood in a three-threat position.

Li Ao quickly turned around to keep up, and his turning speed and starting speed were much improved compared to when they played against each other half a year ago.

Kobe had known the opponent's progress for a long time, didn't make a stop jumper, and rushed all the way to the basket.

Jermaine O'Neal moved very well around the basket and made up for it in time. He didn't get three seconds of defense because he stayed under the basket for a long time, covering Kobe's shooting and scoring the space on the left side.

Bryant jumps over O'Neal, fights O'Neal, pushes the ball to the hoop...to the left!
O'Neal leaped high and caught dunks behind O'Neal Jr. with both hands!
The OK combination is unparalleled!

After landing, O'Neill took a few steps that no relatives would recognize, overlord steps!
Then he quickly rushed to the backcourt, happily bumping his chest with Kobe who stepped back first.

The eyes of the Zen master on the sidelines lit up when he saw this scene...

When it came time for the Clippers to attack, Li Ao ran to the frontcourt after serving the ball, and wanted to back him up with a showy skill, but found that the opponent had switched defenses!
He immediately took Kobe to the bottom line, and O'Neal's bottom line screened, adding a little exercise to O'Neal.

On the other side, Rick Fox was still happy that the Black Mamba really switched defenses with him, but he quickly discovered something was wrong while following Jordan.

Why are you here again?

How come I got stuck again!

How could this strength be greater than that of Spider-Man!

Jordan caught the ball and hit Rick Fox with his back high, but Rick Fox couldn't hold it.

Jordan's impact gave Rick Fox the feeling, not as rough and intense as Spiderman, but like a big hammer, heavy and heavy!

Jordan turned over and took off. In fact, he could shoot directly, but he still leaned back and threw the ball... also hit!
Looking at Jordan who pursed his lips and retreated, Rick Fox confirmed that it was impossible for him to guard against it.

Just now Li Ao's back shot turned around and shot, at least he still had the ability to jump back, but Jordan's back shot, he couldn't do it even if he jumped up to interfere.

He looked at Kobe again, Kobe showed the whites of his eyes, but still nodded.

Rick Fox was moved to the frontcourt. The black mamba was so friendly today. He decided to pass the ball to the black mamba again... Hey, why don't you want the ball?

When he arrived in the frontcourt, he saw Kobe honestly stretching out on the weak side, and only O'Neal leaned on O'Neal to ask for the ball.

That's...very good, he lobbed the ball to O'Neal, O'Neal caught the ball and knocked O'Neal into the basket in two steps, ignoring Jordan who recovered, and smashed the ball into the basket through O'Neal's hands.

Jordan clicked his lips.

But in his view, the idea of ​​canceling the illegal restriction on O'Neal in advance, how to put it, unless the opponent really double-teams around the front defense to catch the ball when O'Neal does not receive the ball, it will have no effect, at least in the beginning stage.

The weak side has Kobe in the middle distance, and the strong side has Fisher in the bottom corner. The space under the basket is wide open, at most two defenses and two defenses. At this stage, the off-ball attack on O'Neal is to send points to the Lakers.

At this time, Li Ao, who came back to pick up the ball and serve, called his teammates to fight on the outside defense. Jordan nodded and ran forward. This method is simple, direct but effective.

When the Clippers were attacking, Mike Bibby lobbed the ball to Li Ao and pulled it to the right sideline. Li Ao continued to play high back.

Rick Fox adjusted his defense, turned around unexpectedly, and pressed up to defend Li Ao. Mike Bibby cut into the basket from the right bottom corner and slipped to the baseline.

Li Ao turned around and rushed forward. Rick Fox's dog-skin plaster defense restricted Li Ao's start, turned around and followed, and did not give Li Ao an emergency stop jump shot.

Li Ao rushed to the right side of the three-second zone, and Mike Bibby slipped to the bottom line and failed to play a role. O'Neal's weight was still agile, and he was in place in time.

Li Ao made a high pass back. Although Jordan failed to get rid of Kobe with the screen, he successfully received the ball at the free throw line.

After receiving the ball, Jordan directly started to rush in the middle. After Li Ao scored the ball, he pulled away towards the bottom corner. O'Neal turned around and rushed towards Jr. O'Neal on the left baseline to prevent the defense for three seconds. Now it was too late to turn around and get back to the basket. Three seconds On the left side of the zone, Samaki-Walker, who was about to defend against the opponent's second weak-side off-ball pick-and-roll, quickly retracted the center guard.

Jordan points at a 45-degree angle on the left. After Odom helped Jordan block Kobe, he continued the second pick-and-roll to help Bibby block Fisher.

Bibby turned around and received the ball from outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the left, and made a wide-open three-point shot...Go in!
Hubie Brown, the commentator of Time Warner Cable Sports, was full of praise for the Clippers' cooperation: "Spider-Man and Jordan's continuous breakout pass, the timing is very good, and they have made good use of the center brought by the defensive three seconds. Opportunity, the Clippers also did a very good flank screen, and the two screens were very successful. The Lakers thought that Bibby slipped the baseline and Mini O'Neal's pick-and-roll was to create opportunities for Spider-Man to attack the frame, but in fact it was just to distract O'Neal. O'Neal's focus was on Spider-Man and Mini O'Neal, and he didn't care about Jordan on the wing."

Bill Walton echoed: "The Clippers have a very good tactical maturity and beautiful execution. No one thinks that Spider-Man and Jordan are creating opportunities for Bibby, but Odom is covering the flank. Extravagant, he did a really good job of screening, and he could grasp the timing so well in two consecutive pick-and-rolls, which is a difficult thing, but I still think it’s too extravagant."

On the court, the Clippers led 7-4!

When it came time for the Lakers to attack, the OK team each held the ball and attacked once. Seeing that the opponent started to cooperate, they also prepared to cooperate tactically.

Fisher received a signal from the OK combination during the advance, ready to break through and launch an attack, but just outside the three-point line, he was stuck by Mike Bibby!
Fisher's 185 cm + 92 kg body is very strong, but Mike Bibby's 188 cm + 90 kg body is also very strong.

The white devil suddenly presses and presses the defense. His muscular upper limbs make Fisher stagger, and the ball almost falls out of his hands!
Fortunately, he was stronger, withstood Mike Bibby, and did not give the opponent a chance to press up and steal the ball.

Fisher protected the ball and glanced at his teammates, who were also stuck.

Rick Fox was stuck by Odom, and Samaki Walker was also hand-to-hand by Jordan.

Fisher still has a strength advantage here, and the two teammates will be miserable.

Rick Fox defends against two power monsters on the defensive end, and faces the tall and strong left monster on the offensive end...

Samaki Walker was even more skeptical about life. He looked at the joking Jordan and couldn't believe that he was not as strong as a guard!Although he is not a strong insider, he relies on athletic ability, offensive rebounds, and mid-range shots to make a living, but he is an insider anyway!

But the reality is so cruel. He really couldn't squeeze Jordan while he was standing, so he could only move his position to avoid the confrontation, but the other party continued to stick up. He wanted to escape, but he had his own moving line, so he couldn't run around, he could only fight hard. Play against Jordan for space to pass and receive the ball.

The opponent fought hand-to-hand combat!

Fisher didn't notice that the three of them were actually the ones being fought. On the side of Kobe and O'Neal, Li Ao and O'Neal were all defending normally...

Fisher starts to attack, and the teammates who initiate the attack can start to move, which can reduce the confrontation.

He pushes Mike Bibby half a step away and changes direction to break through.

Mike Bibby's defense was mediocre, and he didn't block the fish who were in their prime.

But Fisher broke into the inside and was covered by Li Ao, who was shrinking from the flanks. He couldn't make a quick stop for a jumper, and he didn't have a chance to pass the right off-line mid-range.

At this time, O'Neal pressed O'Neal to the front of the basket. Fisher grabbed the ball and was about to pass it. Jordan retracted and attacked without the ball!

Although Fisher reacted quickly and grabbed the ball firmly and did not pass it out, Li Ao rushed up from more than one meter away when he caught the ball and stuck to him.

With a huge gap in height and wingspan, Fisher felt completely covered!
It's not that he has never encountered frontcourt players sticking to the defense, but he has never been so scared like now. At this moment, it seems that the whole world is surrounded by giant spiders.

When 'Strength Level 3' is triggered, Li Ao's sense of oppression is greatly improved when facing an opponent whose height and weight are not as high as his!
Fisher tried his best to protect the ball and waited for a response. At this time, he aimed at Samaki Walker, thinking that Jordan had received the inside line, and quickly released the ball... a mistake!

When Li Ao moved in defense, the White Devil immediately moved in coordination with Jordan, who had shrunk his wings, and rushed to Samaki Walker to shoot the ball!And grab the ball!Fight back!

Kobe, who came up from the flank to respond, quickly retreated.

After Fisher made a mistake, he hurriedly stopped Li Ao from going down quickly, but the opponent turned around and poked his butt away, and couldn't stop it at all.

Fisher struggled to catch up, trying to prevent Li Ao from receiving the ball, but the white devil who pushed forward counterattacked the ball with excellent timing and a good pass angle. Li Ao entered the free throw line and received the ball smoothly. Fisher saw the ball fly by and jumped up Tried to steal it, but couldn't.

Fortunately, Kobe has retreated to the basket, and Fisher quickly presses up, flanking Kobe who is about to block Li Ao.

It doesn't matter how the front is played, as long as the flanking defense is successful, this round is handsome.

However, Kobe pressed on Li Ao confidently, and was pushed away by an unrivaled force!
Li Ao received the ball and took off against Kobe who was pressing on him. He ignored the confrontation, jumped high, and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand!
When Li Ao smashed the ball into the frame, Fisher just caught up and formed a position with Kobe to attack Li Ao.

The cameraman pressed the shutter, "click", and the picture was frozen at this scene. The post-match news--Spider-Man made a fast break and hit two, and then dunked the 96 Golden Generation champion back line.

Kobe looked at the big spider that fell down after dunking, how could this be possible?

How can this guy jump and dunk like this when he's stuck?
Even if this guy has gained weight, he must be stronger and stronger!
Li Ao called Ouye\(^o^)/ when he turned to retreat
After 'Shark' reached level 3, he has been waiting for such an opportunity.

Finally buckled the little blacksmith with the 'shark' buckle!
