From sparring to superstar

Chapter 252 250. I want to hit some big records, even if he tries his best, he can't break them!

Listening to the cheers of the fans at the scene and watching the players on the opposite side gathering together to celebrate, Kidd was so unwilling to give in!

They were clearly not at a disadvantage, and even had the advantage most of the time. However, they failed to hold on to a few key points and were overtaken by the opponent, and they could never catch up again.

If he can make an extra three-pointer at a critical moment...or if his teammates can be stronger and stand up when singles are needed...

next time!Next time I return to the home court, I must beat this opponent!

On Li Ao's side, he returned to the locker room after receiving an interview after the game. He chatted with Gentry about his new role in the triangle offense.

Gentry said: "Although your corner shooter is the most accurate in our team, if there are qualified corner shooters, you can play the role of Kukoc or Fox and handle the ball more in order to perform better. Your passing ability makes it easier for Michael to play, and you can get more shots. It is a good choice to let you play in that position when necessary, but as a conventional tactic, the continuity is too poor. "

Li Ao nodded and said, "You're right..."

The continuity is too poor. Gentry didn't say it clearly, but Li Ao understood what it meant. When Jordan was old and performed well for more than 20 minutes in each game, Gentry was unwilling to use the triangle offense as the main point of attack.

After he calmed down the excitement of "having another suitable role", he was actually not willing to focus on the triangle offense. He is not a regular singles offensive point, and he suffers too much in the triangle offense.

And Jordan doesn't only play triangle offense, the god of basketball is very comprehensive.

However, the bottom angle akimbo play can still be practiced more.

When two of Odom, Bibby, and Jordan are on the court and the team's offense is going smoothly, he can go to that position more, reduce physical exertion, effectively enhance defensive performance, or improve continuity.

At the end of the chat, Li Ao asked Gentry to help him ask an editor to cut a video of Kidd's game this season.

Every time he played against Kidd, the offensive combing ability of the league's number one point guard made him amazed. It is always good to learn more when you have time.

...

Defeating the Nets, the Clippers have a record of 11 wins and 1 loss, and continue to beat the Kings and Magic with 10 wins and 2 losses, ranking first in the league.

This game dispelled some Clippers' claims that they'll only abuse food.

When they first lost to the Lakers, the media were still hyping up how grand their next meeting with the Lakers would be. On the day they played the Nets, some media were hyping up their 10-game winning streak. Most of their opponents were weak and big. Some games are home games.

When Li Ao saw these remarks, he wondered if this was the treatment the Lakers should have?It's a great honor for the Clippers to have such treatment.

Now, the hype of the media has changed again. After they defeated the dark horse Nets, which had the most limelight at the beginning of this year, the media began to hype that they are already a real top team and a championship candidate.

After the 6th consecutive season, the Clippers got two days to rest. They had a day off on the 23rd. After training for the next battle on the morning of the 24th, they set off for Salt Lake City in the afternoon.

But Li Ao didn't set off with the team this time, and Vivienne's due date had already arrived. The boss and head coach took the initiative to find him and gave him a vacation.

Having a baby is a major event in life, and the team and teammates expressed their understanding.

Moreover, there is only one away game this time, and there will be two home games next, which will not delay too long.

On the second day, at noon on the 25th, Vivienne's water broke. Li Ao's family had already made preparations and arrived at the Los Angeles nursing home in time. In the evening, contractions began and they entered the operating room.

Seeing Li Ao walking around outside the operating room, and seeing a nurse or doctor passing by, he ran to ask about this and that. It was the first time his parents saw such a side of their cub, and their nervousness eased a lot. .

Seeing Li Ao's anxious look, Vivienne's parents asked the doctors and nurses questions such as 'the child is not in danger, right?', and their sense of this famous playboy was much better. .

In the middle of the night, the lights in the operating room went out, the door opened, and the nurse came out to tell them that the mother and child were safe.

The fact that he was a son had already been confirmed during the prenatal check-up, and his father had chosen the name Li Ao, Li Jinghe.

Li Weidong hopes that his grandson will be stable and peaceful, and not be like his son, who is still in trouble at such an old age.

An English name was also agreed upon, Roy, which represents red and flag, and also means smart and confident.

Li Ao's parents and Vivian's parents gathered around the nurse pushing the crib to ask questions, while Li Ao rushed to Vivian's hospital bed, looking at the hospital assistant who was covered in sweat and haggard. Auntie, he felt so distressed that he quickly took the hot water basin from the nurse and twisted a towel to wipe the sweat of the hospital assistant aunt.

Vivienne looked at Li Ao's flustered look, and felt very happy, she didn't hurt her family Leo in vain...

...

Li Ao stayed in the hospital for a night. He wanted to be busy with everything, but he didn't know what to do. He worked blindly anyway, and finally he was so tired that he curled up in the bed and slept all night.

The next morning, the doctor told them they could be discharged.

Li Ao has heard that women in Europe and the United States go to work the next day after giving birth, but he did not expect it to be true. The doctor did not carry out "postpartum advice" at all, and regarded giving birth as simple as "laying eggs".

The same goes for Vivian's parents, it seems like that's how it should be.

Fortunately, Li Ao's parents are also there, and everything is ready, even the confinement sister-in-law has been invited from Xiangjiang.

After being discharged from the hospital and back to Kobe's other hospital, Vivienne began confinement. This place is close to the Los Angeles Sanatorium. If there is any event, it is convenient to go there.

This is the first time Vivian's family has heard about confinement.

After the birth of a child in the United States, there will be pain here and there, but I have never known that it is because the postpartum recovery period did not take care of the body. I think this is normal. I know that many diseases and many gynecological diseases can be avoided. Wei Wei Ann decisively chose to sit!
At this time, Li Ao, who knew nothing and knew nothing, was disgusted. Not long after returning home, his mother and Vivian thought he was in the way and kicked him out.

I want to watch my son for a while, the nanny is worried that he is so big and thick, that he bumped the child.

He muttered a few words, "You guys are discriminating against me for being tall" and so on, but he could only go back to his room resentfully, took out his phone to check the time, but found that it was out of battery, plugged in the charger, turned on the phone, and saw Got a lot of text messages and emails.

They are all blessings from management, teammates, opponents, friends...

He didn't go away with the team the day before yesterday, so it was revealed that a child was about to be born. It is not uncommon for an athlete's child to be born. Many NBA players had children before they entered the professional arena, such as their team's Bibby and Jay Ladd Wallace.

But people are always treated differently. He has a high degree of attention, and this matter has also been hyped up by the media. When they went to the Los Angeles nursing home yesterday, they saw some reporters secretly taking pictures outside the hospital.

After little Roy was born, reporters got the news immediately and announced it.

Li Ao first called back the people who were more acquainted with him, and then replied to the text messages. He was busy for a while.

After seeing the text message sent by Gentry, he knew that he also won the game last night, double happiness.

昨晚他们靠着乔丹的28分5板3助攻、毕比的22分3板3助攻、奥多姆的17分11板6助攻、小奥尼尔的18分10板，以101比96险胜爵士队，将战绩提升到了12胜1负，继续压已经拿到9连胜的魔术队一头。

Li Ao checked the game report on the Internet, and it was a bit of a thrill to win. After three quarters, they trailed the Jazz by 73 points 81-8.

Without him, their team's defense plummeted, and they reversed in the final quarter. It seemed that the veterans on the opposite side were exhausted. They made 17 of 5 shots in a single quarter, missed 5 three-pointers, and made as many as 5 times in a single quarter. mistake.

The Jazz has completely declined this season. After this game, the record has come to 6 wins and 6 losses, with only a 5% winning percentage. This is the worst start for the Jazz in 16 seasons.

In fact, Shuang Sha's performance did not get worse because he was one year older, on the contrary, it got better.

Ma Long's playing time this season has not decreased but increased, averaging 40 minutes per game, scoring 23 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists, which is a career high in assists so far.

斯托克顿也打出了场均14分3.5板9助攻2抢断的表现，得分、篮板、助攻、抢断，都是5年来新高，投篮命中率也有夸张的52%。

But when the two fight for this, the Jazz only maintains the hope of hitting the playoffs.

Their old friends have retired, left, and aged. If they don't fight, this team will be doomed.

Andrei Kirilenko, who has just entered the NBA and is only two months away from turning 21, is already the third-best player on the Jazz this season, averaging 9.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1 assist, 1.5 steals and 2 blocks per game. The combat power is average, but the defense and combat power are excellent, known as 'Little Spider-Man'.

Li Ao can see the bitterness of "superstar lateness" from Utah Shuangsha in the battle report, which makes his determination to compete for the championship even stronger!
In the evening, Kobe and Vanessa came to their home with large and small packages of gifts to greet them. Li Ao's teammates, college teammates who were still in Los Angeles, Dean Teng... and others also came to visit his home one after another. Li Ao was busy again.

Talking can be flat, but the way of hospitality can't be lost...

At around 9 o'clock in the evening, after sending the Bryants away, the busy day finally came to an end.

Li Ao came to Vivienne's bed and poked his son in the stroller, feeling very fresh.

Vivienne asked, "How does it feel to be a father?"

Li Ao thought for a while and replied: "It doesn't feel too big. I imagined that I would suddenly become very responsible as an elder, but it seems not. I feel that I haven't grown up yet... I looked at Xiao Luo Yi, what I'm thinking about is when this kid will grow up and can play games and basketball with me."

Vivian smiled and said, "It's good. I hate those who put all kinds of wishes on their children. Your parents are very good. I feel that they never expected you to be such a great person."

"It seems to be oh, they didn't put any pressure on me. They sent me to study in the United States, and they just hoped that I could get in touch with the wider world. They didn't expect me to learn anything well... Really irresponsible parents!"

Vivian: "..."

As he spoke, Li Ao started poking little Roy's face again and said, "Grow up quickly, how can you play with such a small one!"

"Play?" Vivian asked with a question mark in her head.

"I want to play Spider-Man and Doctor Octopus with him, and he plays Doctor Octopus... What kind of eyes do you have? If you don't have a son to play with, it will be meaningless!"

At first hearing Vivienne, she wanted to jump up from the bed, but after thinking about it, she nodded and said: "You are very reasonable! Then I also want to buy some children's cosmetics and cute little clothes. Roy grew up putting makeup on him."

"You can, but you have to pay attention. You have to let him know clearly that he is a boy. I don't want to have children..."

...

On the second day, Li Ao returned to his usual life, got up early, and came to the Staples Center for extra practice.

Today and tomorrow, their Clippers will usher in back-to-back home games, and he has to hurry up to find his feeling.

He didn't train for two days, but he felt pretty good. He didn't lose his condition because of rest. He also discovered several minor problems during training that he didn't usually notice.

He feels that if training encounters a bottleneck in the future, he can choose to rest and rest to relax his mind and body, and maybe the training effect will be even better.

Near 9:[-], teammates came to the arena one after another, and Li Ao received another wave of blessings.

Brother Bibi, who is also a father, took the initiative to chat with Li Ao today.

"Leo, now that you are a father, do you have more motivation to play now?"

Li Ao knew a lot about Bibby and his father, and knew that this senior had a sense of responsibility because of his middle-aged flamboyance.

Li Ao thought about it, and his eyes lit up: "I really have motivation! Now I have a new goal!"

Bibby felt something was wrong when he heard this. Before he asked him, this junior had never thought that he would work harder after giving birth to a son?
"What new goal?" he asked.

Li Ao was suddenly full of pride, clenched his fists and said: "Little Roy is my son, and he should be very talented in basketball. If he wants to play basketball when he grows up, then I have to set some big records. He worked hard." The kind that cannot be surpassed by life! Just thinking about it makes me excited!"

Bibby: (**||)
