Chapter 255 253. Let's Attack!Gorgeous King (9500 words)
"Let's advance first-class!:
Goal: Perfect a type of offense. (Existing types that can be improved: post-up, breakthrough, catch-and-shooter.)
Reward: Breakthrough to first-class level, perfect type matching skills.Note: When a type of offensive method is determined to be perfect, you can choose whether to complete the task to receive matching skills. "
The skills of back hitting, breakthrough, catcher and pitcher... Li Ao looked at the skills section, and he lacked even more breakthrough skills.
Back hitters and catch-and-shooters all have a very strong skill, but there is no breakthrough.
If you can't choose, then of course whichever is "perfected" first will be the one you want. If you can choose, you will naturally choose the technology that is most lacking in the technology being developed.
However, he has a confusion, is his off-ball play not perfect enough?
"To become a first-class star with the core offensive method of catching and shooting, you need to reach the first-class level in mid-range shooting and three-pointers.
The host's current rating is 80 for three-pointers, 90 for mid-range shots, 87 for catch-and-turn shots, and 84 for catch-and-shoot jump shots. "
Li Ao's face turned into a bun.
Well, I won’t be able to break through for a while, and I’m stuck just like when I broke through to the excellent level. I only look at the strongest points. I guess after improving a certain aspect of play, it will be like when I broke through to the excellent level. Similarly, it will not only break through to 85, but will increase the overall rating by two or three points.
He turned off the system, took a shower and went home.
There is no hard requirement for this task, and it will not affect his current plan to improve his strength in four aspects: catch and shoot, breakthrough, post-up, and defense.
Of course, his motivation to work hard to improve his strength has become stronger!Only when his hard power becomes stronger can he make good use of the skills he has acquired!
...
At 12:5 p.m. on December 7th, at the Staples Center, the away Kings entered the venue first.
The first person to enter the court was White Chocolate, who was booed a lot, but he caused a burst of exclamation with his extremely flamboyant fancy dribble, and the TV commentator shouted: "The Sacramento Harlem basketball team is here! "
Li Ao complained: "As expected of the team with the most passers-by fans in the league..."
The team rated as 'gorgeous' is the Kings team in the entire league.
It's not just "homeless team fans" who like to watch their games, loyal fans of other teams, if they want to watch games when the home team is not playing, they will give priority to the Kings. The style of play is too beautiful and pleasing to the eye.
This year's Kings team is more popular than last season. In addition to their gorgeous style of play, they also have the label of 'Sao'.
White Chocolate is staying on the team, and the attribute of "saucy" has been engraved in the bone marrow of the current Kings team. The media attributed the reason to the first game of the second round between the Kings and Clippers last season. The Clippers took the lead in being slutty. The game activated the Kings' coquettish DNA...
"This is a team that is purely stacked by stars. The stars have a high-intensity load. Once a main player is injured, the system will be over and there will be no continuity." Jordan's tone was slightly uncomfortable.
His own fans exclaimed for his opponent, and Li Ao was a little upset at first, but he was instantly happy when he heard what Jordan said.
Look, look, he's sore!
The reason for Jordan's sourness is that this season the media has been advocating that Princeton is better looking and stronger than the triangle offense.
In terms of the theoretical upper limit, Li Ao feels that the upper limit of Princeton is indeed higher than that of the triangle offense, because Princeton needs very strong stars in every position, a bucket-shaped team with all top configurations, and their backup forward, second-year Teko Grew, in the triangle offense, can be used as the supporting core, but in the Kings, he is only a secondary player.
But if Rick Fox and Brian Shaw are put to the Kings, they may not have playing time. If a functional point guard like Fisher is given to the Kings, there is a high probability that they will only sit on the bench.
Any one of the 8 main players of the Kings will be the starting point or even the core of offense or defense if they are replaced by other teams. If Doug Christie is replaced by Kobe, he does not need to be replaced by Jordan. It is not as simple as three consecutive championships.
However, Li Ao felt that what Jordan said was more correct. Just getting together the starting five tigers of the Kings is something that cannot be met. Princeton's requirements for the main players must not only be strong, but also comprehensive. Once something goes wrong , will collapse quickly... unless the weakest of the Kings' 12-man rotation has Turkoglu's strength.
The triangle offense does not require so many strong and complete players. As long as the dual-core is strong enough, others can find puzzle pieces, and the probability of a repeat is greater.
Therefore, Li Ao feels that having an opponent like the Kings is something that can only be met but not sought.
After the players of the two teams entered the arena, Li Ao received a task reminder!
"The Gorgeous King:
Goal: Do not fall behind against the Kings in the regular season this season. (Total 4 games, currently 0 wins and 0 losses.)
Reward: 4 level 1 skill upgrade card, if you get the advantage of fighting, you will be rewarded with 1 additional basic attribute point, if you sweep, you will be rewarded with 1 advanced attribute point, and the rewards will be accumulated. "
Li Ao rarely became stressed after receiving the task.
Being able to get a level 1 skill upgrade card so 'easily' means that the system believes that the Kings are powerful!
Li Ao glanced at the opposite bench, Turkoglu, Scott Pollard, Bobby Jackson, the Kings' main lineup this season is still these 8.
So far this season, the 8 main players of the Kings are very healthy, and they have never lost a game. Therefore, the distribution of playing time of the Kings players has become the only one in the league. Except for the 8 main players, the average playing time of other players is in single digits. Lawrence Funderburk, the ninth player on the team in playing time, averages 9 minutes per game.
A top team that maintained its intensity throughout the entire process!
...
The pre-game preparation time is over, the two teams came to the field as starters, the Clippers' starting lineup remained the same, and the Kings sent a starting combination of White Chocolate, Doug Christie, Peja, Webber, and Divac.
At 8:[-] p.m., the game begins.
O'Neal beats Divac to win the jump ball, and the Clippers attack first!
Bibby advances upcourt to Jordan, pulls out to the right sideline, and Doug Christie is ready, the old basketball god, that's the basketball god.
Jordan made a back-up gesture and suddenly released the ball!
Li Ao turned back and ran away from Peja on the left side of the three-second zone, and came to a position very close to Jordan outside the free throw line to receive the ball.
When Peja chased in front of Li Ao, Li Ao had already jumped up and made a shot, and Peja could only watch Li Ao's long two-pointer hit in front of him.
Li Ao easily scored two points, switched offense and defense, White Chocolate advanced to the frontcourt, Divac moved a step outside the free throw line, and brought O'Neal out of the paint.
Weber moved to the middle distance on the left side of the three-second zone, and Peja moved to the middle distance on the right side of the three-second zone. Odom and Li Ao pressed the two of them tightly and confronted.
Doug Christie moved to the left of the top arc, and Jordan followed closely.
The position of the Kings left the three-second zone empty!
O'Neal actually wanted to go back, but he stood back for only three seconds and had to follow Divac to the free throw line.
The Kings got into position very quickly. White Chocolate waited at the top of the arc for just one second. After Doug Christie came to the left side of the top arc, he passed the ball to Doug Christie and then stretched to the right 45 degree angle.
Doug Christie received the ball and dribbled it to a 45-degree angle, passed it to Webber, who was leaning on Odom on the left side of the three-second zone, and then circled around Jordan to cut in the middle.
Jordan followed Doug Christie closely, and just came to the left side of the three-second zone. Jordan saw White Chocolate take a step outside the free throw line and run towards the left corner with a cover from Divac. Tacitly switched defenses, retreated, and followed the cutting Doug Christie.
While the Clippers were switching defenses, Weber passed the ball to Divac and turned around to cut in. Divac’s catcher kept passing the ball to Doug Christie who turned and ran to the right side of the three-second zone in the middle of the cut. When they interspersed with running positions, they pulled out the three-point line and moved towards the top arc, taking Li Ao away, and O'Neal could only follow Doug Christie to the right side of the three-second zone.
Doug Christie then passes to Webber who cuts.
Weber caught the ball, and although Odom followed suit, Weber made an emergency stop on the left side of the basket and made a false shot. After sending Odom flying, he easily hit the throw!
O'Neill crossed his waist, turned and retreated.
If he was at the free throw line, the ball could still be recovered, but the Kings' continuous interspersed running and coordination made it impossible for him to rush to the basket after continuous movement. Even if he knew that Doug Christie would pass to Webb, he still couldn't. There's no way, unless you go to the basket in advance, but in that case Doug Christie can catch the ball and make a direct mid-range shot.
Moreover, the Kings, like the Timberwolves, took the new rule of 'defense for three seconds' out of play!
The Clippers players clearly felt that the Kings' position was further expanded than last season, and the position and running area were farther than last season's 9 encounters. Except for the moment when Weber cut into the basket, the rest of the time Nobody.
When the Clippers attack, Odom is on the right baseline, Jordan is on the right side of the free throw line, Bibby passes the ball to Jordan and then pulls it to the right sideline. On the left side of the huge three-second zone, except for Li Ao and Peja, Only O'Neal stood on the left sideline of the three-second zone.
Peja tried his best to chase and defend, but Li Ao turned back and ran to the left sideline of the three-second zone to receive the ball. Divac made up for it. Li Ao jumped up and passed to the basket.
No change in defense?Still let Spiderman be so easy without the ball one-on-one?Gentry glanced at the opposite bench, turned his head to look at the half court, White Chocolate advanced to the top arc and continued to give the ball to Doug Christie, the Kings Princeton offense started.
On the Clippers side, the defensive end began to adjust independently.
Bibby, who was chasing White Chocolate, encountered Divac's pick-and-roll again, retreated directly, and met Doug Christie who cut in.
O'Neal stayed at the free throw line, covered Divac, and could close the basket at any time to make up defense.
Jordan stayed on the right side of the free throw line, and Odom opened his arms to interfere with the receiving space of White Chocolate's turn and cut to the basket.
Gentry nodded with satisfaction when he saw this. This defensive response showed the ability of their top defensive team.
But the Kings players respond quickly!
After White Chocolate ran to the left sideline, Weber passed the ball in a fake move, tricked Odom into jumping over, and then made a fake fax!
Jordan moved up to block Webber's drive.
Webber, who was blocked by Jordan, was not surprised. During the last three consecutive years of the Bulls, he and Jordan played against Jordan. Before pinching up, rely on a one-step turnaround jumper to shoot...
There was nothing Jordan could do, Webber turned over and hit a jumper!
Jordan had to admit that the Kings' tactical coordination and player resilience were too strong.
The Clippers defended so well this round, and the Kings' Princeton tactic came out. Although they didn't create easy catch-up shots, the core purpose of Princeton's style of play was to create favorable dislocations. The Kings' basic goals went well. achieved.
It was the Clippers attack again. After Li Ao came to the frontcourt, he saw that there were still only him and Peja on the left side of the huge three-second zone. He leaned directly on Peja to ask for the ball. An emergency stop on the left made a jumper.
This attack confirmed Gentry's guess - the opponent wanted to consume Li Ao with a team attack!
Li Ao, who plays without the ball against the Kings, is the Clippers' advantage.
Li Ao scored very well against the Kings last season. He scored 4+ points in 2 games against the Kings 25 times in the regular season. He scored 5+ points 3 times in 20 games in the playoffs.
The 8-man main lineup of the Kings, Peja can't defend Li Ao at all, and Doug Christie is very good defensively. It can be said to be excellent, but it has been deflated when meeting Li Ao, Alan Houston, Reggie Miller, Mike Miller and others.
Not to mention Turkoglu, Bobby Jackson, and white chocolate.
Last season, the Kings were able to suppress Li Ao's shooting percentage, relying on consumption strategies, hand-to-hand combat, and defense.
However, Gentry was quite surprised that the opponent used a team attack and Li Ao confrontation to consume Li Ao... No!
It's not just consuming Li Ao!
When the Kings attacked, Gentry noticed that Jordan moved frequently, and finally switched to Webber!
Kill two birds with one stone!Gentry could see that the opponent wanted to use a team attack to consume Li Ao and Jordan at once!
Princeton's style of play is varied. Although Webb is the first point of scoring, the Kings usually run with the first goal of creating scoring opportunities for Peja. The offense revolves around this point. is a rare case.
The Kings' offensive coordination tonight makes the opponent's small forward always move on the defensive end. Their style of play, Peja is actually the shooting guard, and Doug Christie is the small forward's offensive method...It is aimed at Jordan .
This time Jordan was very tight, Weber turned and cut in nimbly, just like a small forward, Jordan turned around and took the ball... "beep"... the referee whistled, and Jordan made a foul.
Gentry immediately made personnel adjustments.
He had to lament that the Kings' offense was really strong, probably no worse than the Timberwolves, and they were highly confident. Facing a top-defensive opponent, they used team offense to compete with the opponent's top scorer, and they didn't defend well. The opponents and their players still executed this strategy unwaveringly.
After Matt Halperin ran into the court, Gentry clapped his hands and yelled "Leo", and the other party didn't even look at him, but he knew that his lover must understand what he meant.
Seeing Matt Halprin come up, the pressure on the Kings players increased a bit.
Now is the time for them to fight!It was just a warm-up session!
The technical table returned the clock and the Kings continued to attack.
Looking at the position on the court, Gentry nodded with satisfaction, a lover is a lover... Weber went to serve, and Li Ao stood in front of Weber!
Under Li Ao's interference, Weber sent the ball to Bai Chocolate who was close to the middle circle.
The Kings continued to launch a team attack, and the Clippers made personnel adjustments, but they still couldn't prevent Jordan from being forced to move in a wide range. Jordan switched defenses to White Chocolate and followed White Chocolate to the left sideline.
However, the independent defensive response of the Clippers players prevented Weber from making an empty cut and scoring directly.
Weber held the ball facing the frame, and Li Ao stuck to it tightly.
Weber's offensive pressure from the outside was huge, and Spiderman made up for his height advantage with his wingspan. He turned around and took a step back, and then turned around and charged forward!
Li Ao murmured in his heart, "You don't need your knees, right?", but he didn't hesitate, and he fought and retreated, showing his top-level retreat ability and lateral footsteps.
Webber didn't turn around and go into the basket to attack the frame, O'Neal went to the basket, and Matt Harprin, who followed Peja to the top arc, also had the ability to interfere with Divac.
Weber turned around and took another step towards Li Ao, showing extraordinary flexibility, then turned around, took off, and shot a fallback jumper...
Failed to get rid of Li Ao's defense!
After Weber reached the low post, Li Ao had no intention of taking off. He recognized the opponent's turn and scored in the basket, so he stayed close to him.
Under Li Ao's defense and long arm interference, Weber made a close-range fadeaway jumper!
Tonight Webb strikes the iron for the first time!
O'Neal protected the defensive rebound, and Li Ao turned and ran forward with a "yeah".
What a genius the Wolf King is!
The wolf king's defense method, even Weber can defend it.
Although his Spider-Man does not have the height and wingspan of the Wolf King that is similar to that of O'Neal, and he cannot cover all of Weber's scoring methods like Garnett, but he has O'Neal Jr.!
He only needs to stick to Webber to shoot, and the basket can be handed over to his teammates.
This time, it was Adelman's turn to be surprised.
The opponent's head coach should have discovered his intentions. His purpose was obvious, and he didn't hide it. It was to make the opponent flustered while implementing the strategy.
Unexpectedly, the opposite side actually chose hard steel!
Adelman can only say that he is a fan of the old Nelson, that is bold!
However, he has absolute confidence in his players. He is not worried about the opponent's head-on response choices, but is curious about the opponent's next changes.
After attacking for 3 rounds in a row, and having to take on the main defensive task, Li Ao came to the left sideline and akimbo.
Jordan catches the ball and hits Doug Christie with a high back. After finding the rhythm by playing two steps, he turns over and hits a jumper!Doug Christie is heartbroken.
After so many years, the god of basketball is still the god of basketball, and he is still the background board.
He has strong confrontation, good endurance, and excellent defensive steps, but these are useless in the face of Jordan's pure strength and technical crushing. It is too difficult for him to prevent breakthroughs and shots.
There is a kind of replacing Jordan with Madman, Big Dog, Stackhouse, Jaylen Rose, even Carter. He has played against Carter 4 times in his career, and Carter has only 41% of his shots.
When the Kings attacked, their running positions changed again.
After Divac pick-and-rolled for White Chocolate, he lifted to the top arc and helped Peja block the chasing Matt Harperin.
Divac felt like he was hit by a bull, and he was almost knocked over, but he blocked it.
O'Neal Jr. chose to close the basket when shrinking the basket and switching to guard Peja. Weber passed the ball during the breakthrough. Peja received the ball at a 45-degree angle. He quickly took a shot before Jordan's defense was in place and hit a three-pointer!
Although Peja scored a goal, O'Neal didn't regret his choice to go to the basket. He let Webb turn around and layup directly, and let Peja take a long shot. He chose to let Peja go.
Jordan is sulking at himself. He is currently struggling with single defense and supplementary defense on the perimeter.
Now he is more suitable for defending small forwards with average tonnage and speed, or simply defending power forwards directly.
But Gentry didn't let him defend against power forwards. First, he was not tall enough, and he would be deflated when he encountered a skilled power forward. Second, he was still considering his physical strength.
The Clippers need an offensive superstar who can beat all front and back defenders when he comes on the court.
When the Clippers were attacking, Jordan vented his anger on Doug Christie for not listening to his brain, and hit him roughly.
Li Ao was leaning on Peja on the weak side. He felt that O'Neill's move was easy to use, but unfortunately he was not big enough, otherwise it would be better.
If Peja knew what he was thinking, he'd have to fight him.
Peja felt uncomfortable being leaned on by a guy weighing more than 200 pounds.
After Bibby distributed the ball, he went to the right corner to respond, and Matt Harprin and Jermaine O'Neal moved their positions according to Jordan's singles progress, preparing to respond.
Each of the Clippers players is doing what they should do. This lineup has reached an excellent level of coordination.
Doug Christie's defense chose to stick to death this time. After Jordan's rough impact, he took advantage of the opportunity of the opponent to stick up again, turned and pushed the opponent away, and rushed to close range.
Facing Divac's supplementary defense, Jordan collected the ball and stepped to the bottom line, passing it to the left of the three-second zone.
O'Neal catches the ball for a close shot...
There was still a little lack of tacit understanding, Jordan wanted to have an OK-style cooperation on a whim, and after completely attracting Divac, let O'Neal directly catch the ball and dunk.
As a result, O'Neal thought that Jordan was going to attack the frame angrily, and pulled away. When he received the ball, his sense of rhythm was not so good. The main reason was that he was surprised. The opportunity was good but he missed the shot.
Fortunately, when the Kings attacked, Jordan moved ahead of time to make up for Peja's catch and shot. After receiving the ball, Peja passed it to White Chocolate, and White Chocolate went straight to the basket after receiving the ball.
Li Ao went outside after Webber made the ball, and O'Neal went to block Doug Christie from cutting inside. Weber's basket was empty.
But even though he was a teammate who has been working together for many years, Weber never expected that the ball from White Chocolate would actually be passed to him, and it was passed from Li Ao's armpit to the basket. , as a result, the ball hit his back and bounced into Li Ao's hands...
Li Ao panicked when he saw the ball flying past his armpit, but when he turned around, the ball landed in his arms...
He is quite familiar with this feeling of heavenly steals. In the regular season and playoffs last season, he played against the Kings 9 times. He actively shrinks the basket and has 10 such steals, almost 1 in every game. .
But teammates are teammates, and the Kings players retreated immediately after making a mistake, without even being surprised.
The ball hit Webb's back, so it can't be said that White Chocolate didn't pass it well.
The two unexpected passes of Jordan and White Chocolate caused offensive mistakes, which were just a small episode. In the next few rounds, the offenses of the two teams were very mature.
The Princeton system of the Kings has endless changes. Everyone can pass and everyone can shoot. It either creates mistakes or creates open shots. It is hard to defend. Their starting lineup can be called the offensive ceiling of the league today. The use of seconds' is not weaker than that of the Clippers and Timberwolves, and the offensive firepower has been significantly improved compared to last season.
Li Ao relied on the method of guarding Webber he learned from Garnett, and he obviously restrained Webber's mid-range shots. However, due to his weight and height, he could not lock down Webber, the absolute core, by himself like Garnett.
He went to defend Webber, and Peja had more chances. Matt Harprin defended hard and did a good job, but compared with Li Ao, who specializes in countering tall white pitchers, there is still a gap.
However, the Clippers have defended well. The Kings seldom go all out to maintain the league's strongest offensive firepower for a long time in the opening stage. The plan to consume Li Ao and Jordan is more difficult than Adelman expected.
Bibby's performance surprised Adelman. He knew that Bibby had 'played out' in the Clippers, but he didn't expect Bibby to distribute the ball so well.
Bibby's performance in the opening stage gave Adelman the feeling that he was like the white chocolate under his hands, and he was calmer and more rational, without the panic passing of 9 people.
Not only that, when both Jordan and Li Ao needed to take a break, Bibby stepped up and hit a three-pointer to help the Clippers cling to the score.
During the draft, Kings general manager Geoff Petrie saw that the Clippers had traded Bibby back, and he knelt and roared in the draft office. White chocolate for Bibby?crazy?
When watching other Clippers games, Adelman didn't feel that Bibby was so good. Next to Li Ao, Jordan, Odom, and O'Neal, Bibby was too insignificant.
The main reason is that Bibby, who was in the Grizzlies before, gave people a bad impression. He had a bad temper and did not fit in with others. He led the team with high assists and his record was not as good as Blevin Knight... After fighting in person, Adelman felt To how good Bibby is.
Even the fact that it is easy to be overlooked is actually Bibby's advantage. He can always rely on this to take a shot at a critical moment.
Halfway through the first quarter, the score of the two teams came to 19 to 18, and the Clippers took a slight lead and entered the official timeout period.
Adelman put aside his surprise at Bibby's performance, and made adjustments to his lineup and tactics.
Although Bibby surprised him, he has never coached himself, and he has never felt what Bibby can bring to their team, and White Chocolate is really good. At least in terms of defensive performance, White Chocolate still has the advantage. It's impossible to pay too much attention to this matter, and it can't be as unforgettable as the Lakers who didn't choose Spider-Man for a long time.
...
The two sides have not changed since the Clippers replaced Matt Harperin, and they are all head-to-head with the strongest lineup.
Into the first wave of rotation, Adelman's substitutions are very simple, Bobby - Jackson replaced White Chocolate, Scott - Pollard replaced Divac.
The tactical adjustment is also simple. Bobby Jackson's outside singles are added, and the 126-kilogram big white bear Pollard is on the field. The frame protection has been strengthened, and the pick-and-roll ability has also been greatly improved.
Compared with Adelman, Gentry is worried.
While the players were drinking water to wipe their sweat, Gentry called Li Ao over. At this time, he needed someone to make a decision.
Gentry patted Li Ao on the back and asked with expectant eyes: "Leo, continue to fight hard and compete with the opponent. It is better to follow our rhythm and focus on stability."
Li Ao thought about it, and said according to his own feelings: "Their offensive ability is stronger than I thought. I think it is difficult to restrict them with conventional defense like restricting the Timberwolves. They lost to the Timberwolves. I think it is because Garnett's personal ability, the Lakers do not have a defensive player like Garnett, so they did not do a good job of restricting the Kings. In the end, their weakness at critical moments was exposed again, which is not much better than last season's playoffs , Webber and Peja lost the chain at the critical moment, and they are not as good as Michael and Mike at the critical moment...Wait, Alvin, you are the head coach, why are you asking me?"
The head coach asked the players how to choose, and he thought of two words—Fang Mou Duan and Wolong Fengchu... He deleted the latter word X.
Although he had grabbed it before... no, he had taken over the tactical board and arranged tactics, but it was rare, and Gentry would not ask him this in the regular stage.
Could it be that after providing Carlisle's tactical ideas, Gentry regarded him as a tactical genius?
He regretted that he had added work to himself in vain. He did not like to interfere in things that he was not good at. Professional things should be left to professionals. Just like after he provided tactical ideas, he never took care of Gentry. Whether to use it and how to use it.
Gentry was very sad when he asked for a decision and was ruthlessly rejected by Spiderman. His lover was not cute at this time, and he felt that he might be beaten if he asked again.
It's okay to be beaten down, as long as he stays on the team and continues to be the head coach, but being beaten in front of so many people is very embarrassing, and there is no one in private if you want to ask for a beating.
However, although Spider-Man didn't give him any constructive advice, he helped him clear his mind!
Their defense of the Clippers was stronger than that of the Lakers when O'Neal was still overweight, but not too much stronger. The Lakers scored 90 points, and they had at most 92 or 93 points. To defend against the Kings, this offense is almost perfect. There is no other way for opponents to attack, except to sacrifice themselves to attack and fight the iron-blooded battle.
But the defense of the opposite Kings team is also extremely strong!We were locked in the playoffs last year and it was not easy to handle. Moreover, the opponent's offense was so good that even when they were locked in defense, the opponent was able to maintain quite strong offensive firepower...
Gentry's mind opened up, and the unrestrained thoughts he had when playing the Timberwolves came back...
Li Ao was adjusting his breathing when he suddenly received a task prompt.
"Go wild! Spider-Man:
Goal: The host needs to refresh his personal scoring record in a single game this season tonight.
Reward: 3 level 1 skill upgrade card.
Advanced goal: to become the third Mr. 3 points this season.
Reward: 1 basic attribute point. "
Li Ao's eyes widened instantly. What outrageous contingency did their head coach think of?
...
本赛季有两次单场50+,第一次,是11月23号老鹰队打活塞队的时候,拉希姆爆砍50分12板5助攻2抢断1盖帽,率领6胜7负的老鹰队爆冷干翻了8胜5负的活塞队。
In that game, people saw the talent and strength of Raheem who regained his enthusiasm for basketball and devoted himself to the game. At the age of 25, he was once again regarded as a future superstar.
The second time was Iverson, who scored 58 points in a single game against the Raptors.
Li Ao felt that this task was too radical, but after hearing Gentry's contingency strategy, he knew why it was so excessive.
The Clippers sent a combination of Bibby, Li Ao, Odom, Matt Harprin, and Geron Collins.
The Kings sent a combination of Bobby Jackson, Doug Christie, Peja, Webb, and Pollard.
Li Ao followed Doug Christie.
Doug Christie felt so honored. He thought the opponent was trying to guard him with Matt Halprin, but he didn't expect it to be a big spider!
Divac rests off the court. His role at this point is to open the flanks and cut in from the baseline. He can no longer put as much defensive pressure on the opposing players like the starting lineup. The overall tactical changes in their rotation lineup must have been thoroughly studied by the opponents. He is very confident in this point. As the top defensive team on the opposite side, it is impossible not to know this...
The timeout ends and the Kings attack.
Although confused, Doug Christie moved to the left sideline first, then took Li Ao to run and cut the baseline.
Li Ao imitated Garnett's defensive style when he switched guards and slipped to the bottom line. Instead of following Doug Christie and going to the basket, he expanded out to the outside of the reasonable arc of the collision zone, opened his arms to prevent the ball from passing from the high position to the inside line, and quickly went to the basket. Moving to the right side of the three-second zone, O'Neal returned to the back of Doug Christie with O'Neal's delay, and O'Neal quickly returned to the side of Pollard who pulled out of the three-second zone.
In Li Ao's eyes, Garnett is a living treasure!
As far as basketball is concerned, there is so much to learn. It just so happens that he has the conditions to learn something. He often refers to Garnett's defensive style.
Doug Christie's bottom-line screen failed to create a misplacement, and it did not affect the Kings' outside offense. His current lineup is based on defense.
On the top arc, Bobby Jackson used Weber's cover to break through, and then passed to Weber who was leaning against Bibby on the left side of the three-second zone after being disassembled.
At the same time, Peja brought Odom up from the left corner, and Odom pinched up the first time Weber received the ball. Weber lifted the ball and turned around to pass the top arc. Peja caught the ball with one step inside the top arc. Long two-point shot...hit!
The ultimate move of the second team of the Kings!Bobby Jackson's long-range shot after the pick-and-roll is as accurate as Stockton, allowing him and Webb to play a sharp pick-and-roll coordination like Utah's double evil!
20 to 19, the Kings went ahead by 1 point!
In the transition of offense and defense, Bibby advanced to the frontcourt and launched an offense with O'Neal in a pick-and-roll.
Jordan was replaced, and Doug Christie stuck close to Li Ao. Although he couldn't prevent Li Ao from running, he wanted to give Li Ao more consumption through confrontation, but Li Ao just moved slowly, taking advantage of the referee's blind spot to raise his elbow. Hold him, he can't stick, it makes him feel like he's playing against the Clippers' neighbor.
He didn't give up, he followed Li Ao's footsteps closely... was blocked!
Matt Halprin flanks!
Li Ao was running slowly, but after using the cover, he accelerated with all his strength and cut into the short distance. Bibby's pass was accurate, and Li Ao made a close-range shot from the left side of the three-second zone... Pollard made up in time, but Peja failed to hinder Li Ao at all, Li Ao rushed in, and did not even hook enough, he could only watch the ball fly over his head and fall into the frame.
21 to 20, the Clippers regained the lead!
This time, Adelman was really surprised.
As an 'outsider', he sees things more clearly than the players on the field.
In this offensive and defensive round, Li Ao was quite 'stuck'.
On the defensive end, except for a quick move when defending the pick-and-roll at the basket, it is enough to follow Doug Christie at other times.
The same goes for the offensive end, except for speeding up after taking cover, the rest of the time is moving slowly, and the extra energy is not in vain!
Is it possible that the opponent still wants to attack them?Off the charts!

There are so few recommendation votes recently, for the sake of Xiaofeng's good updates in the past few days, let's vote!Thanks!
(End of this chapter)
"Let's advance first-class!:
Goal: Perfect a type of offense. (Existing types that can be improved: post-up, breakthrough, catch-and-shooter.)
Reward: Breakthrough to first-class level, perfect type matching skills.Note: When a type of offensive method is determined to be perfect, you can choose whether to complete the task to receive matching skills. "
The skills of back hitting, breakthrough, catcher and pitcher... Li Ao looked at the skills section, and he lacked even more breakthrough skills.
Back hitters and catch-and-shooters all have a very strong skill, but there is no breakthrough.
If you can't choose, then of course whichever is "perfected" first will be the one you want. If you can choose, you will naturally choose the technology that is most lacking in the technology being developed.
However, he has a confusion, is his off-ball play not perfect enough?
"To become a first-class star with the core offensive method of catching and shooting, you need to reach the first-class level in mid-range shooting and three-pointers.
The host's current rating is 80 for three-pointers, 90 for mid-range shots, 87 for catch-and-turn shots, and 84 for catch-and-shoot jump shots. "
Li Ao's face turned into a bun.
Well, I won’t be able to break through for a while, and I’m stuck just like when I broke through to the excellent level. I only look at the strongest points. I guess after improving a certain aspect of play, it will be like when I broke through to the excellent level. Similarly, it will not only break through to 85, but will increase the overall rating by two or three points.
He turned off the system, took a shower and went home.
There is no hard requirement for this task, and it will not affect his current plan to improve his strength in four aspects: catch and shoot, breakthrough, post-up, and defense.
Of course, his motivation to work hard to improve his strength has become stronger!Only when his hard power becomes stronger can he make good use of the skills he has acquired!
...
At 12:5 p.m. on December 7th, at the Staples Center, the away Kings entered the venue first.
The first person to enter the court was White Chocolate, who was booed a lot, but he caused a burst of exclamation with his extremely flamboyant fancy dribble, and the TV commentator shouted: "The Sacramento Harlem basketball team is here! "
Li Ao complained: "As expected of the team with the most passers-by fans in the league..."
The team rated as 'gorgeous' is the Kings team in the entire league.
It's not just "homeless team fans" who like to watch their games, loyal fans of other teams, if they want to watch games when the home team is not playing, they will give priority to the Kings. The style of play is too beautiful and pleasing to the eye.
This year's Kings team is more popular than last season. In addition to their gorgeous style of play, they also have the label of 'Sao'.
White Chocolate is staying on the team, and the attribute of "saucy" has been engraved in the bone marrow of the current Kings team. The media attributed the reason to the first game of the second round between the Kings and Clippers last season. The Clippers took the lead in being slutty. The game activated the Kings' coquettish DNA...
"This is a team that is purely stacked by stars. The stars have a high-intensity load. Once a main player is injured, the system will be over and there will be no continuity." Jordan's tone was slightly uncomfortable.
His own fans exclaimed for his opponent, and Li Ao was a little upset at first, but he was instantly happy when he heard what Jordan said.
Look, look, he's sore!
The reason for Jordan's sourness is that this season the media has been advocating that Princeton is better looking and stronger than the triangle offense.
In terms of the theoretical upper limit, Li Ao feels that the upper limit of Princeton is indeed higher than that of the triangle offense, because Princeton needs very strong stars in every position, a bucket-shaped team with all top configurations, and their backup forward, second-year Teko Grew, in the triangle offense, can be used as the supporting core, but in the Kings, he is only a secondary player.
But if Rick Fox and Brian Shaw are put to the Kings, they may not have playing time. If a functional point guard like Fisher is given to the Kings, there is a high probability that they will only sit on the bench.
Any one of the 8 main players of the Kings will be the starting point or even the core of offense or defense if they are replaced by other teams. If Doug Christie is replaced by Kobe, he does not need to be replaced by Jordan. It is not as simple as three consecutive championships.
However, Li Ao felt that what Jordan said was more correct. Just getting together the starting five tigers of the Kings is something that cannot be met. Princeton's requirements for the main players must not only be strong, but also comprehensive. Once something goes wrong , will collapse quickly... unless the weakest of the Kings' 12-man rotation has Turkoglu's strength.
The triangle offense does not require so many strong and complete players. As long as the dual-core is strong enough, others can find puzzle pieces, and the probability of a repeat is greater.
Therefore, Li Ao feels that having an opponent like the Kings is something that can only be met but not sought.
After the players of the two teams entered the arena, Li Ao received a task reminder!
"The Gorgeous King:
Goal: Do not fall behind against the Kings in the regular season this season. (Total 4 games, currently 0 wins and 0 losses.)
Reward: 4 level 1 skill upgrade card, if you get the advantage of fighting, you will be rewarded with 1 additional basic attribute point, if you sweep, you will be rewarded with 1 advanced attribute point, and the rewards will be accumulated. "
Li Ao rarely became stressed after receiving the task.
Being able to get a level 1 skill upgrade card so 'easily' means that the system believes that the Kings are powerful!
Li Ao glanced at the opposite bench, Turkoglu, Scott Pollard, Bobby Jackson, the Kings' main lineup this season is still these 8.
So far this season, the 8 main players of the Kings are very healthy, and they have never lost a game. Therefore, the distribution of playing time of the Kings players has become the only one in the league. Except for the 8 main players, the average playing time of other players is in single digits. Lawrence Funderburk, the ninth player on the team in playing time, averages 9 minutes per game.
A top team that maintained its intensity throughout the entire process!
...
The pre-game preparation time is over, the two teams came to the field as starters, the Clippers' starting lineup remained the same, and the Kings sent a starting combination of White Chocolate, Doug Christie, Peja, Webber, and Divac.
At 8:[-] p.m., the game begins.
O'Neal beats Divac to win the jump ball, and the Clippers attack first!
Bibby advances upcourt to Jordan, pulls out to the right sideline, and Doug Christie is ready, the old basketball god, that's the basketball god.
Jordan made a back-up gesture and suddenly released the ball!
Li Ao turned back and ran away from Peja on the left side of the three-second zone, and came to a position very close to Jordan outside the free throw line to receive the ball.
When Peja chased in front of Li Ao, Li Ao had already jumped up and made a shot, and Peja could only watch Li Ao's long two-pointer hit in front of him.
Li Ao easily scored two points, switched offense and defense, White Chocolate advanced to the frontcourt, Divac moved a step outside the free throw line, and brought O'Neal out of the paint.
Weber moved to the middle distance on the left side of the three-second zone, and Peja moved to the middle distance on the right side of the three-second zone. Odom and Li Ao pressed the two of them tightly and confronted.
Doug Christie moved to the left of the top arc, and Jordan followed closely.
The position of the Kings left the three-second zone empty!
O'Neal actually wanted to go back, but he stood back for only three seconds and had to follow Divac to the free throw line.
The Kings got into position very quickly. White Chocolate waited at the top of the arc for just one second. After Doug Christie came to the left side of the top arc, he passed the ball to Doug Christie and then stretched to the right 45 degree angle.
Doug Christie received the ball and dribbled it to a 45-degree angle, passed it to Webber, who was leaning on Odom on the left side of the three-second zone, and then circled around Jordan to cut in the middle.
Jordan followed Doug Christie closely, and just came to the left side of the three-second zone. Jordan saw White Chocolate take a step outside the free throw line and run towards the left corner with a cover from Divac. Tacitly switched defenses, retreated, and followed the cutting Doug Christie.
While the Clippers were switching defenses, Weber passed the ball to Divac and turned around to cut in. Divac’s catcher kept passing the ball to Doug Christie who turned and ran to the right side of the three-second zone in the middle of the cut. When they interspersed with running positions, they pulled out the three-point line and moved towards the top arc, taking Li Ao away, and O'Neal could only follow Doug Christie to the right side of the three-second zone.
Doug Christie then passes to Webber who cuts.
Weber caught the ball, and although Odom followed suit, Weber made an emergency stop on the left side of the basket and made a false shot. After sending Odom flying, he easily hit the throw!
O'Neill crossed his waist, turned and retreated.
If he was at the free throw line, the ball could still be recovered, but the Kings' continuous interspersed running and coordination made it impossible for him to rush to the basket after continuous movement. Even if he knew that Doug Christie would pass to Webb, he still couldn't. There's no way, unless you go to the basket in advance, but in that case Doug Christie can catch the ball and make a direct mid-range shot.
Moreover, the Kings, like the Timberwolves, took the new rule of 'defense for three seconds' out of play!
The Clippers players clearly felt that the Kings' position was further expanded than last season, and the position and running area were farther than last season's 9 encounters. Except for the moment when Weber cut into the basket, the rest of the time Nobody.
When the Clippers attack, Odom is on the right baseline, Jordan is on the right side of the free throw line, Bibby passes the ball to Jordan and then pulls it to the right sideline. On the left side of the huge three-second zone, except for Li Ao and Peja, Only O'Neal stood on the left sideline of the three-second zone.
Peja tried his best to chase and defend, but Li Ao turned back and ran to the left sideline of the three-second zone to receive the ball. Divac made up for it. Li Ao jumped up and passed to the basket.
No change in defense?Still let Spiderman be so easy without the ball one-on-one?Gentry glanced at the opposite bench, turned his head to look at the half court, White Chocolate advanced to the top arc and continued to give the ball to Doug Christie, the Kings Princeton offense started.
On the Clippers side, the defensive end began to adjust independently.
Bibby, who was chasing White Chocolate, encountered Divac's pick-and-roll again, retreated directly, and met Doug Christie who cut in.
O'Neal stayed at the free throw line, covered Divac, and could close the basket at any time to make up defense.
Jordan stayed on the right side of the free throw line, and Odom opened his arms to interfere with the receiving space of White Chocolate's turn and cut to the basket.
Gentry nodded with satisfaction when he saw this. This defensive response showed the ability of their top defensive team.
But the Kings players respond quickly!
After White Chocolate ran to the left sideline, Weber passed the ball in a fake move, tricked Odom into jumping over, and then made a fake fax!
Jordan moved up to block Webber's drive.
Webber, who was blocked by Jordan, was not surprised. During the last three consecutive years of the Bulls, he and Jordan played against Jordan. Before pinching up, rely on a one-step turnaround jumper to shoot...
There was nothing Jordan could do, Webber turned over and hit a jumper!
Jordan had to admit that the Kings' tactical coordination and player resilience were too strong.
The Clippers defended so well this round, and the Kings' Princeton tactic came out. Although they didn't create easy catch-up shots, the core purpose of Princeton's style of play was to create favorable dislocations. The Kings' basic goals went well. achieved.
It was the Clippers attack again. After Li Ao came to the frontcourt, he saw that there were still only him and Peja on the left side of the huge three-second zone. He leaned directly on Peja to ask for the ball. An emergency stop on the left made a jumper.
This attack confirmed Gentry's guess - the opponent wanted to consume Li Ao with a team attack!
Li Ao, who plays without the ball against the Kings, is the Clippers' advantage.
Li Ao scored very well against the Kings last season. He scored 4+ points in 2 games against the Kings 25 times in the regular season. He scored 5+ points 3 times in 20 games in the playoffs.
The 8-man main lineup of the Kings, Peja can't defend Li Ao at all, and Doug Christie is very good defensively. It can be said to be excellent, but it has been deflated when meeting Li Ao, Alan Houston, Reggie Miller, Mike Miller and others.
Not to mention Turkoglu, Bobby Jackson, and white chocolate.
Last season, the Kings were able to suppress Li Ao's shooting percentage, relying on consumption strategies, hand-to-hand combat, and defense.
However, Gentry was quite surprised that the opponent used a team attack and Li Ao confrontation to consume Li Ao... No!
It's not just consuming Li Ao!
When the Kings attacked, Gentry noticed that Jordan moved frequently, and finally switched to Webber!
Kill two birds with one stone!Gentry could see that the opponent wanted to use a team attack to consume Li Ao and Jordan at once!
Princeton's style of play is varied. Although Webb is the first point of scoring, the Kings usually run with the first goal of creating scoring opportunities for Peja. The offense revolves around this point. is a rare case.
The Kings' offensive coordination tonight makes the opponent's small forward always move on the defensive end. Their style of play, Peja is actually the shooting guard, and Doug Christie is the small forward's offensive method...It is aimed at Jordan .
This time Jordan was very tight, Weber turned and cut in nimbly, just like a small forward, Jordan turned around and took the ball... "beep"... the referee whistled, and Jordan made a foul.
Gentry immediately made personnel adjustments.
He had to lament that the Kings' offense was really strong, probably no worse than the Timberwolves, and they were highly confident. Facing a top-defensive opponent, they used team offense to compete with the opponent's top scorer, and they didn't defend well. The opponents and their players still executed this strategy unwaveringly.
After Matt Halperin ran into the court, Gentry clapped his hands and yelled "Leo", and the other party didn't even look at him, but he knew that his lover must understand what he meant.
Seeing Matt Halprin come up, the pressure on the Kings players increased a bit.
Now is the time for them to fight!It was just a warm-up session!
The technical table returned the clock and the Kings continued to attack.
Looking at the position on the court, Gentry nodded with satisfaction, a lover is a lover... Weber went to serve, and Li Ao stood in front of Weber!
Under Li Ao's interference, Weber sent the ball to Bai Chocolate who was close to the middle circle.
The Kings continued to launch a team attack, and the Clippers made personnel adjustments, but they still couldn't prevent Jordan from being forced to move in a wide range. Jordan switched defenses to White Chocolate and followed White Chocolate to the left sideline.
However, the independent defensive response of the Clippers players prevented Weber from making an empty cut and scoring directly.
Weber held the ball facing the frame, and Li Ao stuck to it tightly.
Weber's offensive pressure from the outside was huge, and Spiderman made up for his height advantage with his wingspan. He turned around and took a step back, and then turned around and charged forward!
Li Ao murmured in his heart, "You don't need your knees, right?", but he didn't hesitate, and he fought and retreated, showing his top-level retreat ability and lateral footsteps.
Webber didn't turn around and go into the basket to attack the frame, O'Neal went to the basket, and Matt Harprin, who followed Peja to the top arc, also had the ability to interfere with Divac.
Weber turned around and took another step towards Li Ao, showing extraordinary flexibility, then turned around, took off, and shot a fallback jumper...
Failed to get rid of Li Ao's defense!
After Weber reached the low post, Li Ao had no intention of taking off. He recognized the opponent's turn and scored in the basket, so he stayed close to him.
Under Li Ao's defense and long arm interference, Weber made a close-range fadeaway jumper!
Tonight Webb strikes the iron for the first time!
O'Neal protected the defensive rebound, and Li Ao turned and ran forward with a "yeah".
What a genius the Wolf King is!
The wolf king's defense method, even Weber can defend it.
Although his Spider-Man does not have the height and wingspan of the Wolf King that is similar to that of O'Neal, and he cannot cover all of Weber's scoring methods like Garnett, but he has O'Neal Jr.!
He only needs to stick to Webber to shoot, and the basket can be handed over to his teammates.
This time, it was Adelman's turn to be surprised.
The opponent's head coach should have discovered his intentions. His purpose was obvious, and he didn't hide it. It was to make the opponent flustered while implementing the strategy.
Unexpectedly, the opposite side actually chose hard steel!
Adelman can only say that he is a fan of the old Nelson, that is bold!
However, he has absolute confidence in his players. He is not worried about the opponent's head-on response choices, but is curious about the opponent's next changes.
After attacking for 3 rounds in a row, and having to take on the main defensive task, Li Ao came to the left sideline and akimbo.
Jordan catches the ball and hits Doug Christie with a high back. After finding the rhythm by playing two steps, he turns over and hits a jumper!Doug Christie is heartbroken.
After so many years, the god of basketball is still the god of basketball, and he is still the background board.
He has strong confrontation, good endurance, and excellent defensive steps, but these are useless in the face of Jordan's pure strength and technical crushing. It is too difficult for him to prevent breakthroughs and shots.
There is a kind of replacing Jordan with Madman, Big Dog, Stackhouse, Jaylen Rose, even Carter. He has played against Carter 4 times in his career, and Carter has only 41% of his shots.
When the Kings attacked, their running positions changed again.
After Divac pick-and-rolled for White Chocolate, he lifted to the top arc and helped Peja block the chasing Matt Harperin.
Divac felt like he was hit by a bull, and he was almost knocked over, but he blocked it.
O'Neal Jr. chose to close the basket when shrinking the basket and switching to guard Peja. Weber passed the ball during the breakthrough. Peja received the ball at a 45-degree angle. He quickly took a shot before Jordan's defense was in place and hit a three-pointer!
Although Peja scored a goal, O'Neal didn't regret his choice to go to the basket. He let Webb turn around and layup directly, and let Peja take a long shot. He chose to let Peja go.
Jordan is sulking at himself. He is currently struggling with single defense and supplementary defense on the perimeter.
Now he is more suitable for defending small forwards with average tonnage and speed, or simply defending power forwards directly.
But Gentry didn't let him defend against power forwards. First, he was not tall enough, and he would be deflated when he encountered a skilled power forward. Second, he was still considering his physical strength.
The Clippers need an offensive superstar who can beat all front and back defenders when he comes on the court.
When the Clippers were attacking, Jordan vented his anger on Doug Christie for not listening to his brain, and hit him roughly.
Li Ao was leaning on Peja on the weak side. He felt that O'Neill's move was easy to use, but unfortunately he was not big enough, otherwise it would be better.
If Peja knew what he was thinking, he'd have to fight him.
Peja felt uncomfortable being leaned on by a guy weighing more than 200 pounds.
After Bibby distributed the ball, he went to the right corner to respond, and Matt Harprin and Jermaine O'Neal moved their positions according to Jordan's singles progress, preparing to respond.
Each of the Clippers players is doing what they should do. This lineup has reached an excellent level of coordination.
Doug Christie's defense chose to stick to death this time. After Jordan's rough impact, he took advantage of the opportunity of the opponent to stick up again, turned and pushed the opponent away, and rushed to close range.
Facing Divac's supplementary defense, Jordan collected the ball and stepped to the bottom line, passing it to the left of the three-second zone.
O'Neal catches the ball for a close shot...
There was still a little lack of tacit understanding, Jordan wanted to have an OK-style cooperation on a whim, and after completely attracting Divac, let O'Neal directly catch the ball and dunk.
As a result, O'Neal thought that Jordan was going to attack the frame angrily, and pulled away. When he received the ball, his sense of rhythm was not so good. The main reason was that he was surprised. The opportunity was good but he missed the shot.
Fortunately, when the Kings attacked, Jordan moved ahead of time to make up for Peja's catch and shot. After receiving the ball, Peja passed it to White Chocolate, and White Chocolate went straight to the basket after receiving the ball.
Li Ao went outside after Webber made the ball, and O'Neal went to block Doug Christie from cutting inside. Weber's basket was empty.
But even though he was a teammate who has been working together for many years, Weber never expected that the ball from White Chocolate would actually be passed to him, and it was passed from Li Ao's armpit to the basket. , as a result, the ball hit his back and bounced into Li Ao's hands...
Li Ao panicked when he saw the ball flying past his armpit, but when he turned around, the ball landed in his arms...
He is quite familiar with this feeling of heavenly steals. In the regular season and playoffs last season, he played against the Kings 9 times. He actively shrinks the basket and has 10 such steals, almost 1 in every game. .
But teammates are teammates, and the Kings players retreated immediately after making a mistake, without even being surprised.
The ball hit Webb's back, so it can't be said that White Chocolate didn't pass it well.
The two unexpected passes of Jordan and White Chocolate caused offensive mistakes, which were just a small episode. In the next few rounds, the offenses of the two teams were very mature.
The Princeton system of the Kings has endless changes. Everyone can pass and everyone can shoot. It either creates mistakes or creates open shots. It is hard to defend. Their starting lineup can be called the offensive ceiling of the league today. The use of seconds' is not weaker than that of the Clippers and Timberwolves, and the offensive firepower has been significantly improved compared to last season.
Li Ao relied on the method of guarding Webber he learned from Garnett, and he obviously restrained Webber's mid-range shots. However, due to his weight and height, he could not lock down Webber, the absolute core, by himself like Garnett.
He went to defend Webber, and Peja had more chances. Matt Harprin defended hard and did a good job, but compared with Li Ao, who specializes in countering tall white pitchers, there is still a gap.
However, the Clippers have defended well. The Kings seldom go all out to maintain the league's strongest offensive firepower for a long time in the opening stage. The plan to consume Li Ao and Jordan is more difficult than Adelman expected.
Bibby's performance surprised Adelman. He knew that Bibby had 'played out' in the Clippers, but he didn't expect Bibby to distribute the ball so well.
Bibby's performance in the opening stage gave Adelman the feeling that he was like the white chocolate under his hands, and he was calmer and more rational, without the panic passing of 9 people.
Not only that, when both Jordan and Li Ao needed to take a break, Bibby stepped up and hit a three-pointer to help the Clippers cling to the score.
During the draft, Kings general manager Geoff Petrie saw that the Clippers had traded Bibby back, and he knelt and roared in the draft office. White chocolate for Bibby?crazy?
When watching other Clippers games, Adelman didn't feel that Bibby was so good. Next to Li Ao, Jordan, Odom, and O'Neal, Bibby was too insignificant.
The main reason is that Bibby, who was in the Grizzlies before, gave people a bad impression. He had a bad temper and did not fit in with others. He led the team with high assists and his record was not as good as Blevin Knight... After fighting in person, Adelman felt To how good Bibby is.
Even the fact that it is easy to be overlooked is actually Bibby's advantage. He can always rely on this to take a shot at a critical moment.
Halfway through the first quarter, the score of the two teams came to 19 to 18, and the Clippers took a slight lead and entered the official timeout period.
Adelman put aside his surprise at Bibby's performance, and made adjustments to his lineup and tactics.
Although Bibby surprised him, he has never coached himself, and he has never felt what Bibby can bring to their team, and White Chocolate is really good. At least in terms of defensive performance, White Chocolate still has the advantage. It's impossible to pay too much attention to this matter, and it can't be as unforgettable as the Lakers who didn't choose Spider-Man for a long time.
...
The two sides have not changed since the Clippers replaced Matt Harperin, and they are all head-to-head with the strongest lineup.
Into the first wave of rotation, Adelman's substitutions are very simple, Bobby - Jackson replaced White Chocolate, Scott - Pollard replaced Divac.
The tactical adjustment is also simple. Bobby Jackson's outside singles are added, and the 126-kilogram big white bear Pollard is on the field. The frame protection has been strengthened, and the pick-and-roll ability has also been greatly improved.
Compared with Adelman, Gentry is worried.
While the players were drinking water to wipe their sweat, Gentry called Li Ao over. At this time, he needed someone to make a decision.
Gentry patted Li Ao on the back and asked with expectant eyes: "Leo, continue to fight hard and compete with the opponent. It is better to follow our rhythm and focus on stability."
Li Ao thought about it, and said according to his own feelings: "Their offensive ability is stronger than I thought. I think it is difficult to restrict them with conventional defense like restricting the Timberwolves. They lost to the Timberwolves. I think it is because Garnett's personal ability, the Lakers do not have a defensive player like Garnett, so they did not do a good job of restricting the Kings. In the end, their weakness at critical moments was exposed again, which is not much better than last season's playoffs , Webber and Peja lost the chain at the critical moment, and they are not as good as Michael and Mike at the critical moment...Wait, Alvin, you are the head coach, why are you asking me?"
The head coach asked the players how to choose, and he thought of two words—Fang Mou Duan and Wolong Fengchu... He deleted the latter word X.
Although he had grabbed it before... no, he had taken over the tactical board and arranged tactics, but it was rare, and Gentry would not ask him this in the regular stage.
Could it be that after providing Carlisle's tactical ideas, Gentry regarded him as a tactical genius?
He regretted that he had added work to himself in vain. He did not like to interfere in things that he was not good at. Professional things should be left to professionals. Just like after he provided tactical ideas, he never took care of Gentry. Whether to use it and how to use it.
Gentry was very sad when he asked for a decision and was ruthlessly rejected by Spiderman. His lover was not cute at this time, and he felt that he might be beaten if he asked again.
It's okay to be beaten down, as long as he stays on the team and continues to be the head coach, but being beaten in front of so many people is very embarrassing, and there is no one in private if you want to ask for a beating.
However, although Spider-Man didn't give him any constructive advice, he helped him clear his mind!
Their defense of the Clippers was stronger than that of the Lakers when O'Neal was still overweight, but not too much stronger. The Lakers scored 90 points, and they had at most 92 or 93 points. To defend against the Kings, this offense is almost perfect. There is no other way for opponents to attack, except to sacrifice themselves to attack and fight the iron-blooded battle.
But the defense of the opposite Kings team is also extremely strong!We were locked in the playoffs last year and it was not easy to handle. Moreover, the opponent's offense was so good that even when they were locked in defense, the opponent was able to maintain quite strong offensive firepower...
Gentry's mind opened up, and the unrestrained thoughts he had when playing the Timberwolves came back...
Li Ao was adjusting his breathing when he suddenly received a task prompt.
"Go wild! Spider-Man:
Goal: The host needs to refresh his personal scoring record in a single game this season tonight.
Reward: 3 level 1 skill upgrade card.
Advanced goal: to become the third Mr. 3 points this season.
Reward: 1 basic attribute point. "
Li Ao's eyes widened instantly. What outrageous contingency did their head coach think of?
...
本赛季有两次单场50+,第一次,是11月23号老鹰队打活塞队的时候,拉希姆爆砍50分12板5助攻2抢断1盖帽,率领6胜7负的老鹰队爆冷干翻了8胜5负的活塞队。
In that game, people saw the talent and strength of Raheem who regained his enthusiasm for basketball and devoted himself to the game. At the age of 25, he was once again regarded as a future superstar.
The second time was Iverson, who scored 58 points in a single game against the Raptors.
Li Ao felt that this task was too radical, but after hearing Gentry's contingency strategy, he knew why it was so excessive.
The Clippers sent a combination of Bibby, Li Ao, Odom, Matt Harprin, and Geron Collins.
The Kings sent a combination of Bobby Jackson, Doug Christie, Peja, Webb, and Pollard.
Li Ao followed Doug Christie.
Doug Christie felt so honored. He thought the opponent was trying to guard him with Matt Halprin, but he didn't expect it to be a big spider!
Divac rests off the court. His role at this point is to open the flanks and cut in from the baseline. He can no longer put as much defensive pressure on the opposing players like the starting lineup. The overall tactical changes in their rotation lineup must have been thoroughly studied by the opponents. He is very confident in this point. As the top defensive team on the opposite side, it is impossible not to know this...
The timeout ends and the Kings attack.
Although confused, Doug Christie moved to the left sideline first, then took Li Ao to run and cut the baseline.
Li Ao imitated Garnett's defensive style when he switched guards and slipped to the bottom line. Instead of following Doug Christie and going to the basket, he expanded out to the outside of the reasonable arc of the collision zone, opened his arms to prevent the ball from passing from the high position to the inside line, and quickly went to the basket. Moving to the right side of the three-second zone, O'Neal returned to the back of Doug Christie with O'Neal's delay, and O'Neal quickly returned to the side of Pollard who pulled out of the three-second zone.
In Li Ao's eyes, Garnett is a living treasure!
As far as basketball is concerned, there is so much to learn. It just so happens that he has the conditions to learn something. He often refers to Garnett's defensive style.
Doug Christie's bottom-line screen failed to create a misplacement, and it did not affect the Kings' outside offense. His current lineup is based on defense.
On the top arc, Bobby Jackson used Weber's cover to break through, and then passed to Weber who was leaning against Bibby on the left side of the three-second zone after being disassembled.
At the same time, Peja brought Odom up from the left corner, and Odom pinched up the first time Weber received the ball. Weber lifted the ball and turned around to pass the top arc. Peja caught the ball with one step inside the top arc. Long two-point shot...hit!
The ultimate move of the second team of the Kings!Bobby Jackson's long-range shot after the pick-and-roll is as accurate as Stockton, allowing him and Webb to play a sharp pick-and-roll coordination like Utah's double evil!
20 to 19, the Kings went ahead by 1 point!
In the transition of offense and defense, Bibby advanced to the frontcourt and launched an offense with O'Neal in a pick-and-roll.
Jordan was replaced, and Doug Christie stuck close to Li Ao. Although he couldn't prevent Li Ao from running, he wanted to give Li Ao more consumption through confrontation, but Li Ao just moved slowly, taking advantage of the referee's blind spot to raise his elbow. Hold him, he can't stick, it makes him feel like he's playing against the Clippers' neighbor.
He didn't give up, he followed Li Ao's footsteps closely... was blocked!
Matt Halprin flanks!
Li Ao was running slowly, but after using the cover, he accelerated with all his strength and cut into the short distance. Bibby's pass was accurate, and Li Ao made a close-range shot from the left side of the three-second zone... Pollard made up in time, but Peja failed to hinder Li Ao at all, Li Ao rushed in, and did not even hook enough, he could only watch the ball fly over his head and fall into the frame.
21 to 20, the Clippers regained the lead!
This time, Adelman was really surprised.
As an 'outsider', he sees things more clearly than the players on the field.
In this offensive and defensive round, Li Ao was quite 'stuck'.
On the defensive end, except for a quick move when defending the pick-and-roll at the basket, it is enough to follow Doug Christie at other times.
The same goes for the offensive end, except for speeding up after taking cover, the rest of the time is moving slowly, and the extra energy is not in vain!
Is it possible that the opponent still wants to attack them?Off the charts!

I went to the follow-up consultation in the morning, and it took a little time, and I was still short of 500 characters. Xiaofeng will write more tomorrow to make up.
Find a doctor when you are sick. Xiaofeng understood the meaning of this sentence, and now he feels much better every day, and his coding efficiency has also improved.
Wait for Xiaofeng to find the status first, and guarantee a minimum of [-] words per day. After finding the feeling, he can make up for the updates and monthly tickets he owed last month!
There are so few recommendation votes recently, for the sake of Xiaofeng's good updates in the past few days, let's vote!Thanks!
