From sparring to superstar

Chapter 284 282. Retire, Shuangsha! (9000 words)
Looking at this 7-point difference, the Wolf King was so unwilling!

He went crazy tonight. On the offensive end, he made 24 of 13 shots, plus 9 of 9 free throws, scoring 35 points, plus 5 assists. On the defensive end, he got 12 rebounds, 4 steals and 6 blocks.

He is definitely the strongest and best performer in the game.

And Billups, who scored 33 points...

But the two of them scored 68 points, and the team only scored 91 points.

And opposite...

李敖23投10中，其中三分球5中2，外加7中5的罚球，拿到27分8板2助攻1抢断4盖帽。

乔丹19投9中，拿到24分5板5助攻2抢断。

毕比12投5中，其中三分球6中2，拿到12分7助攻。

小奥尼尔得分14分9板1助攻2盖帽、奥多姆9分7板4助攻……

Everyone has to do their own thing, and everyone only needs to do what they should do to win!
I watched the entire team on the opposite side gather around and shout "Sail", and listened to the fans at the scene shouting "Spider-Man" and "God of Basketball" crazily.

Garnett is jealous and jealous!

...

After the game, Li Ao was busy until early in the morning before returning home.

He turned on the system and there were two system prompts.

"Congratulations to the host's team for winning the regular season championship. Skill: Champion's Pride level 2 trigger."

"Champion's Pride (Level 2): ​​When the host's team wins the championship or No. 1 in the regular stage or group stage, and enters the finals, playoffs, and knockout stages, the confidence of the host and teammates is enhanced and reduced. The sense of oppression and fear caused by the opponent's powerful strength.

Upgrade method: Win the final championship of the season (large event). "

“Congratulations to the host’s team for advancing to the playoffs and ranking first in the Western Conference. The reward bonus is 140%. Congratulations to the host for receiving the ranking reward: 48000 achievement points.

Number of wins: 65 games, which has reached the first level of reward standard. Congratulations to the host for getting the win reward: 65000 achievement points. "

"Set sail again, Angel City Battleship:

The host has led the team to win the regular season championship in the 2001-2002 season.

Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: 65000 achievement points. Additional reward: 1 purple-level equipment upgrade card. "

"Available achievement points: 225735 points."

After receiving the reward, Li Ao immediately upgraded 'Tracy's Elbow Pad' to the full level.

"Tracy's elbow pads (purple): When you jump to shoot directly without dribbling, the bounce is +3, which greatly reduces the shooting impact caused by pre-shooting movements. The core strength is greatly improved, and the adaptive shooting speed is accelerated by 25%."

The impact of shooting movements and the improvement of core strength have been labeled as "significant". When it changed from "small" to "normal" before, the effect was obvious. He is going to experience it in training tomorrow and work harder during training. Difficulty of pulling up and shooting, catching and shooting.

The adaptive shooting speed bonus is smaller, from 20% to 25%, which is not bad. It is a quarter faster than the regular single action shooting speed.

When playing against the Kings, he had at least 20 catches and direct pull-outs. The addition of jumping, core strength, and shooting speed played a crucial role in his 61 points.

His pull-up skills are not very good yet. At present, he can only throw like that, relying solely on this equipment.

He looked at the activated anti-pressure skill 'Champion's Pride' and recalled the game between the Lakers and Kings a while ago... It was amazing!

He still felt that those two opponents were too strong. They would be very difficult to fight in the playoffs and might not be able to beat them. But unlike when he recalled those games before, what came to his mind was what he knew. The strengths and weaknesses of the two teams, the details of whether they played well or poorly in the game, their thoughts unconsciously went in the direction of analyzing the game, instead of just being as painful as before.

In the past, he thought this skill was useless, like when he was crazy, it had no effect.

Now think about it, that time they won completely and reached the top three. Their confidence was overwhelming. They would do whatever they wanted and they were fearless. This skill really didn't work.

But now that we have really encountered two overly strong opponents, the power of this skill is truly revealed!
He won't think about the Kings and Lakers problems for now, that's for the second round.

The opponent in the first round was already determined on the 17th - the Jazz.

He opened the skills section and took a look. There are a few that can be upgraded. There are more than 20 achievement points. There are still some to get in the playoffs. Let's upgrade!
11万7成就点砸进去，一张2级技能升级卡和3张3级技能升级卡到手，以及1个弹速基础属性点、1个弹跳基础属性点。

First, 'Lie Back' was directly upgraded from level 1 to level 3.

"Leaning back level 3: 1. When the angle of leaning back for a jump shot is greater than or equal to 45 degrees, there is a 25% probability of making up for the lack of balance caused by leaning back. 2. When the angle of leaning back is greater than or equal to 45 degrees when the angle of leaning back is greater than or equal to [-] degrees. Core strength improvement.”

When you upgrade to level 2, a new 'small core strength improvement' is added. When you upgrade to level 3, the first bonus probability increases from 1% to 10%, and the 'small' label for core strength improvement is gone.

In Li Ao's view, this is a skill that does not need to be actively triggered but must be available.

There were also 2 level 3 skill upgrade cards and 3 level 2 skills. He thought about it and upgraded the two BUFF skills of 'Pumper' and 'Perfect Warm-up'.

"Perfect warm-up (Level 3): During the warm-up period before the start of the competition, the system will provide the most suitable warm-up guidance for the host. The host will warm up strictly in accordance with the requirements to obtain the most sufficient warm-up effect. After the system determines that this warm-up training is qualified:
1. The host's first shot of the game feels hot. If the host's first shot is the team's first shot and hits, the effect will extend to the second shot.

2. Start the game in the best physical condition.

Note: Only after a full meal can you have the strength to play the game. If the host is too physically exhausted before the game, you need to prepare for a full meal. "

"Pumper Level 3: Every time the host scores a goal and every time he blocks a shot, the team's morale can be boosted.

Note: 1. Continuous hits can superimpose the boost effect, 2. The boost effect is an additional boost, 3. The specific effect depends on the situation at the time of the game. "

Both skills have been improved to a certain extent, not very much, but these two skills are getting more and more practical, so a little improvement is enough.

There is also a 'cake-eating master' who has not yet reached level 3. Let's talk about it later.

Seeing that there were already two basic attribute points for bullet speed, he felt a little itchy.

But with only a little over 10 achievement points left, he had to start preparing for the offseason.

He was about to turn off the system and go to sleep when the task prompt came!
Li Ao took a look at the mission content and blurted out: "Your uncle, the system!"

...

The crazy regular season is over, but the media's hype and the fans' enthusiasm for discussion have not ended. On the contrary, they have become even higher.

Final playoff roster:
东部：60胜22负的魔术队第一、54胜28负的篮网队第二、52胜30负的活塞队第三、47胜35负的凯尔特人队第四、45胜37负的猛龙队第五、44胜38负的黄蜂队第六、42胜40负的76人队第七、41胜41负的步行者队第八。

西部：65胜17负的快船队第一、54胜28负的小牛队作为中部赛区头名自动占据第二、64胜18负的国王队第三、60胜22负的湖人队第四、55胜27负的开拓者队第五，49胜32负的森林狼队第六、45胜37负的超音速队第七、44胜38负的爵士队第八。

4 60-win teams!
自NBA扩军以来，只有97-98赛季曾出现过单赛季4支60胜球队，那个赛季公牛队、爵士队、超音速队、湖人队拿到60+胜场战绩。

Earlier, it has to be traced back to before 1976. At that time, the NBA had few teams and was divided into East and West. Each team in the other league only played twice a year, and teams in the same league played 2-6 games a year. , the strong teams all catch the weak teams to improve their records. They have played against each other a lot and know more about them. The probability of a weak team being upset is extremely low. If a weak team wants to win, they can only look forward to a duel between weak and weak teams.

The strong teams have good records this season, which means that the weak teams are also miserable. There are as many as 30 teams with less than 7 wins this season, and 25 with less than 5 wins.

The Bulls with 19 wins and the Warriors with 18 wins rank last in the East and West respectively.

But there is an interesting sight this year - the ninth in the Eastern Conference has a better record than the ninth in the Western Conference!
雄鹿队40胜42负排在东部第九，太阳队36胜46负排在西部第九，东部第十的热火队37胜45负，战绩都比太阳队高。

Teams outside the Western Conference playoffs generally have lower records than teams outside the Eastern Conference playoffs.

The new rules introduced by the league last summer are indeed beneficial to the Eastern Conference teams with a strong defensive atmosphere, which means that the top three in the Western Conference are too horizontal.

The playoff lineup will be out on the night of the 20th.

On the 23rd, the Magic and Pacers, Celtics and Raptors, Mavericks and SuperSonics, Kings and Timberwolves will start the playoffs first.

On the 24th, the series between the Clippers and the Jazz, the Lakers and the Trail Blazers, the Nets and the 76ers, and the Pistons and the Hornets will be held in relays.

Each playoff team performed so well in the regular season, and fans are looking forward to their team's performance in the playoffs.

The most watched series include three groups, the Celtics and the Raptors, a duel between the two top scorers averaging 3+ per game in 98, Pierce VS Carter; the duel between the Kings and the Timberwolves, the powerful Kings, and Tenke Webb's Garnett, can the team win, or should individual ability take precedence?

The highlight of another popular series is very special - how will the Trail Blazers lose to the Lakers this time?
This year is the fifth time in the past six seasons that the Trail Blazers have met the Lakers in the playoffs, losing the first four times.

The regular season performance of each playoff team has aroused heated discussions among fans, and the performance of the players is also highly topical.

Spider-Man scored 61 points against the Kings in his penultimate game and the popularity remains high.

The Black Mamba scored 40+ points in three consecutive games while Shaq was injured, defeating the Mavericks, Rockets, and Trail Blazers, helping the Lakers wrap up their three-game winning streak with 60 wins.

Duncan, who was full of firepower, played 80 games and averaged 27.5 points per game, ranking second in the scoring list, beating O'Neal who averaged 27.2 points per game.

Andre Miller scored 15 points and 21 assists in the last game, raising his assists per game to 11. He became the next player after Mark Jackson to average 11 assists per game. Even Jason Kidd couldn't do this. The year when Germany averaged the highest assists per game was 10.8.

Data lists are also a hot topic at the moment.

As the only player averaging 30+ points per game, Iverson won his third career scoring title with an average of 31.4 points per game.

Ben Wallace won the rebounding title with 13 rebounds per game, beating Garnett who averaged 12.7 rebounds per game.

Andre Miller won the assist title with 11 assists per game, beating Kidd who averaged 10.4 assists per game.

Artest won the steals title with 2.9 steals per game, beating Iverson who averaged 2.8 steals per game.

Li Ao won the block title with an average of 3.54 blocks per game, beating Ben Wallace who averaged 3.5 blocks per game.

The scoring leader, the rebound leader, and the assist leader, the first in these three statistics, has actually been determined for a long time.

The steals leader and the block leader are more topical.

Li Ao's defensive performance was excellent in his rookie year, and his defensive performance this year is even better.

It wasn't obvious how good Artest was during his time with the Bulls. His shooting percentage was low, his play style was rough, and his defense was hampered by the whole team.

But when he arrived with the Pistons, Artest's defensive talent was quickly developed, and he performed well enough to impact the best defensive team.

Both young defensive talents are regarded as future Defensive Player of the Year candidates.

This matter has attracted considerable attention from fans. Since Payton, there has been no best defensive player on the outside for many years.

When playing offense in the 80s, it was common for outside players to win the best defensive player award. However, in the 90s, the importance of defense gradually overtook the offense. Power forwards and centers dominated the defensive end. Payton was the only player in more than ten years. Single seedling.

Two days passed quickly, and on April 4, the first game day of the playoffs arrived.

Yesterday, the topic among fans turned to regular season award predictions and the performance of stars at various stages this year.

However, there is no suspense about this year's four major awards, MVP, Best Defensive Player, Best Rookie, and Best Coach, and the topic of award predictions is average.

The topic of the best-performing stars at each stage is more popular.

In terms of veterans, Malone, who has been regarded as the "strongest veteran" in the past few years, is not alone this year.

Malone played 81 games this season, averaging 22.4 points, 8.9 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.9 steals per game. He was an integrated offense and defense, and he was absolutely worthy of directly facing off against Duncan, Webber, and Garnett. He was regarded as the strongest team.

In the same grade...Jordan!
Jordan played 70 games, averaging 29 minutes per game. With a 47% shooting percentage, he averaged 20.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.3 steals per game. Just looking at the offensive efficiency, it was higher than the 97-98 season and almost as good as the 96-97 season. season on par.

Jordan's scoring performance this season has fluctuated and is legendary. He had a great start and fluctuated greatly after Christmas. However, as the All-Star weekend approached, he adjusted his style of play and got used to the long regular season again. After playing in limited appearances, During that time, the offensive performance ranked among the top in the league.

In the Mesozoic Era, Kidd, Duncan, Garnett, Iverson, Webber, Kobe... all the stars shined.

The new generation is also full of flowers.

场均27分得分榜第四的卡特，场均26.1分得分榜第六的皮尔斯，场均20.4分7.6板8.6助攻1.4抢断1.6盖帽的麦迪、场均22分11板2.6助攻的布兰德……

The most dazzling one is Spider-Man.

Played in 81 games, averaging 26.3 points, 7.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.6 steals and 3.5 blocks per game. It seems there is no improvement compared to his rookie season. The points and rebounds have increased a little, but the assists and blocks have declined.

But the field goal percentage is the highest among the new generation of talents at 48.3%, which is an increase of 6.2 percentage points from his rookie year.

The three-point shooting rate was 37.6% and he averaged 1.8 three-pointers per game, which was a huge improvement compared to his rookie year.

Among the new generation of stars, only one player has been included in the MVP candidate list by the media, and that is Spider-Man!

Today, fans' attention is focused on the upcoming playoffs themselves.

The showdown between Pierce and Carter, and the Trail Blazers meeting the Lakers again, are the two most discussed series among fans.

The league announced the Best Manager Award at noon, and Nets general manager Ron Soder won the award for trading Marbury for Kidd.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, an interview video from TNT Sports stole the attention of the media and fans.

The golden duo of Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith conducted an exclusive interview with the popular Spider-Man.

When Barkley asked about the first round, Li Ao replied:
"A series with the Jazz? Sorry, I'm already thinking about my second-round opponent."

Although the first round was highly topical and the fans' enthusiasm was high, the overall public opinion was relatively flat and there were no hot topics.

After this interview was broadcast, it instantly aroused public opinion!

...

Gentry clenched his fists, then relaxed them again when he thought of the 'one-on-seven incident', but when he thought of that interview, he tightened them again, but when he thought of taking Spider-Man to visit the old training ground two years ago, he relaxed them again...

The teammates are also in a very emotional state now. Even the teammates who played together last year have seen Spider-Man do trouble countless times, but they were still shocked this time.

But they are not as grumpy as Gentry, and instead think Spider-Man is cool.

Not to mention saying that to the media, they never even thought about showing off like that.

Jordan, standing beside Steve Kerr, was speechless.

Steve Kerr joked in a low voice: "Shouldn't you be happy that Spider-Man is mocking the Jazz like this? Isn't this what you want to say?"

Jordan rolled his eyes: "Wanting to say something and saying it are two different things."

Steve Kerr continued to joke: "It's useless for you to be angry. It's your choice to be here, God of Basketball."

Jordan felt bitter when he heard this, yes, he chose it himself.

He hesitated for half a year in the first half of last year, and in June he found the owner of the Clippers and chose to join, becoming teammates with the immortal Spider-Man.The team you choose has to win even if you cry.

If something happens in the first round, it will turn into a pretense until he is fucked. Not only Spider-Man will be embarrassed, but he, the god of basketball, will also be embarrassed, and his lifelong reputation will be ruined... We must win!And it has to be won beautifully.

Thinking of this, his fists clenched.

Li Ao felt the strange looks from everyone in the team, and he didn't want to either.

However, the rewards of the new mission are too tempting.

"The host is about to face off against the Utah duo, the best evergreen duo in history. Mission: I'm already thinking about triggering the opponent in the next round."

"I'm already thinking about the next round of opponent triggers:
Mission activation conditions: Before the start of the playoffs, publicly announce that you are considering a second-round opponent.

Goal: Defeat the Jazz in 4 games to advance to the second round.

Reward: Reverse Growth Superstar Level 1.

Reverse Growth Superstar Level 1: After reaching the peak of athletic ability, the decline of athletic ability will be slightly slowed down.Note: The new effect at level 2 is to increase the upper limit of basic skills and technical talents. "

For the new level 2 effect, should the upper limit be raised now or after the athletic ability begins to decline?No matter which one it is, it’s great!Seeing that Jordan's skills are still improving at the age of 38 and [-]... How high is the upper limit of this talent?

If he had a chance to get this skill, he must seek death.

Fortunately, the morale of his teammates was not affected, but became even higher.

However, the morale on the other side was also high. He heard from the staff serving the Jazz team at Memorial Stadium that the Jazz team was excited.

季后赛首个比赛日很快过去，魔术队没啥悬念的吊打步行者队，比分91比74，麦迪拿到18分4板5助攻、邓肯14分7板3助攻3盖帽，两人出场时间都不到30分钟。

老尼尔森是真的疯狂，到了季后赛还在飙进攻，小牛队以122比110冲垮超音速队，诺维斯基31分、芬利18分、拉弗伦茨和王治郅各拿到12分、纳什17分10助攻。

Payton worked very hard and scored a game-high 35 points and 8 assists, but he couldn't rush the opponent at all.

The most thrilling game was when the Kings narrowly defeated the Timberwolves 89-87, and Billups missed the buzzer-beater.

The Kings won the game with Peja's 24 points and Doug Christie's 20 points. Weber played average tonight, scoring 15 points on 5 of 7 shots and 5 of 15 free throws, and only had 6 rebounds. However, he passed the ball well and got a team-high 8 assists.

加内特拿到25分13板11助攻2抢断2盖帽，季后赛生涯第3次三双，未能完成爆冷。

It is worth mentioning that Garnett has not won any of his three triple-doubles in the playoffs, and all of them were for free.

The most interesting game was between the Raptors and the Celtics. Carter scored 49 points, overwhelming Pierce who scored 38 points, but Pierce also had Anthony Walker who scored 29 points, and Carter's highest-scoring teammate It was trash dog Williams who scored 11 points and 10 rebounds...92 to 87, the Celtics defended their first home game.

...

Time came to April 4, and the league announced the Best Coach Award at noon. Pistons head coach Rick Carlisle beat Gentry, Rivers, and Adelman to win the best coach award.

At 3 p.m. Eastern Time, the second game day of the playoffs begins.

The Pistons and the Hornets played the ugliest game since the start of this year's playoffs. The score was 71 to 63. It was really anxious and ugly. The atmosphere for watching the game was great, but the fans in front of the TV suffered.

It was as if no one in the Pistons could score, with only 71 points. Five players scored in double figures, all of whom were outstanding. The Pistons' highest scorer was Ben Wallace, with 5 points and 13 rebounds.

After seeing the report of the first game between the Pistons and the Hornets, fans waiting to watch tonight's finale between the Clippers and the Jazz began to worry.

The two teams clashed defensively, and the style of the game was no better than that of the Pistons, especially the Clippers, who had repeatedly set the lowest score in a single game...

But they just want to watch this game. Spider-Man is already thinking about his opponent in the next round. It is foreseeable that the two will be desperate to watch!

紧随其后开始的是篮网队和76人队的系列赛首战，两个半小时比赛过后，首次下克上来了——艾弗森拿到38分5板8助攻4抢断、穆托姆博10分15板5盖帽，76人队以83比82爆冷击败篮网队，抢走主场优势。

At 6 pm Los Angeles time, the first game of the series between the Lakers and Trail Blazers started.

奥尼尔今晚被限制得较惨，20投9中，加上11中7的罚球，拿到25分8板3助攻3盖帽。

但没关系，大鲨鱼身边围了一条34分8板6助攻3抢断1盖帽的黑曼巴。

天尊的25分7板、皮蓬的11分8板5助攻、糖人的11分14板、小飞鼠的22分，全都没用。

At 8:22 pm, the game ended, 95 to 87. The Lakers defeated the Trail Blazers and won their first victory in the series.

Come the playoffs, the mood of Lakers fans is completely different, and the atmosphere at Staples Center is high.

After the game, the lively atmosphere at Staples Center didn't end, it just changed a group of people.

More than half an hour later, the court at Staples Center had completely changed, from purple and gold to red and white.

At 9:10 pm, the Jazz entered the stadium first and were greeted by wild boos from the fans and shouts of "next round".

In the home team's tunnel, Jordan, who was about to appear, had a strange expression.

Big Spider asked him what he thought the temperament of their team was like.

He didn't answer that time, didn't think about the question, and later forgot about it.

Now he has the answer: nouveau riche, seeking death and playing tricks.

He feels that he has become a nouveau riche. Not only does the team have the temperament of a nouveau riche, but so do the fans.

He now has a goal - to get fans used to winning.

The atmosphere right now, even though it must feel good to step on the court and play, it’s so embarrassing.

After the players from the two teams entered the stadium, there was no communication throughout the pre-match period.

Most of the Jazz's main players are still the same group of people from the two consecutive Asian championships. They originally hated Jordan with itch, but now they hate him even more.

Naturally, the Clippers players will not be hot-tempered and cold-hearted. They are now focused on defeating the opponent. They have already blown the whistle and cannot make any mistakes.

The pre-match preparation time passed quickly, and the two teams started playing.

The Clippers continued the starting lineup from the end of the regular season. The Jazz sent out Stockton, Byron Russell, Kirilenko, Malone, and Ostertag.

Li Ao came to the center line and stood opposite Kirilenko. The skill activation prompt came.

"Kicking kindergarten level 3 trigger.

Offense: When facing a rookie defense, the host gains speed +2, jumping +3, and all-round shooting +3.

Defense: When the host defends a rookie, its speed is +3, its strength is +2, and its tackling awareness is greatly improved. "

Li Ao immediately became enthusiastic and said to Kirilenko: "Hey, little Spider-Man, I'm so happy to fight you again."

Kirilenko: I'm not happy!
Including the rookie game, he played against the real Spider-Man 4 times. The first meeting was not bad. Although he was scored by Spider-Man for 25 points, he defended well and limited the opponent's shooting rate well.

But by the rookie game, the opponent's skills had become better.

Forget it, he is an all-around genius who combines offense and defense, so make progress quickly.

But in the two games after the All-Star weekend, although the Jazz also won one, he was beaten by Spider-Man both times.

Faster, fiercer and more accurate!
But before that back-to-back, he studied the previous games of Spider-Man, and it was clear that they were not that fierce.

It's definitely targeting him!
Little Spider-Man felt bitter: I didn't call myself Spider-Man, someone else called me Spider-Man. Why don't we not want this nickname?

...

At 9:[-] pm, the game starts.

O'Neal Jr. easily beat Ostertag to win the jump ball, and the Clippers attacked first.

The Jazz retreated in an orderly manner and the defensive formation unfolded.

The Jazz's defensive system can be regarded as the 'classic version' of the Clippers' defensive system.

Ostertag, Malone and Kirilenko cut off the middle.

After Li Ao reached the frontcourt, he directly carried Kirilenko to the right side of the free throw line and leaned against the opponent.

Kirilenko wanted to go around, but couldn't squeeze through. When Bibby passed the ball to Li Ao, Kirilenko wanted to reach out with his 228-centimeter wingspan, but the opponent's wingspan was about the same as his!Didn't get it!

Kirilenko quickly adjusted his defensive position, and the violent impact came!
‘脚踢幼儿园’状态下，力量92、爆发力93、105公斤的李敖，将84力量、88爆发力、99公斤的菜鸟小蜘蛛撞退一大步。

Kirilenko rushed back, bursting with quick acceleration and good defensive moves.

Li Ao turned around and dribbled the ball from behind, taking a step forward, deftly avoiding Kirilenko's defense, jumping up, and shooting...

'Kick Kindergarten Level 3', all-round shooting +3, 'Vertical Master Level 4', all-round shooting +2, Li Ao's singles this time, his mid-range shooting ability is as high as when catching and shooting, 96, an explosion!
The first pitcher felt hot and made a hollow hit!

Jordan on the side clapped and retreated.

When playing against old men and rookies, Big Spider is always particularly irritable.

This time, Li Ao turned around and dribbled the ball from behind to shoot. Li Ao's movements were very confident and smoother than in the morning training.

Although I don’t know what the principle behind this is, is it really bullying the old and the weak?But as long as it's accurate, you don't need to know so many reasons. Doesn't he, the god of basketball, often feel inexplicably incredible when he is in desperate situations?

When the Jazz attack, they start the pick-and-roll.

Malone cut to the left side of the three-second zone to catch the ball, faced Jordan for defense, stepped back, turned right to the baseline, and took a mid-range shot...hit!
Jordan had no negative emotions after being shot in front of his old rival.

Shuangsha's pick-and-roll offense is still unsolvable, and they have taken the pick-and-roll to the extreme.

Some experts compared the current Jazz team with the Jazz team during the two consecutive Asian championships. They were surprised to find that the performance of the two teams has been very stable, and their strength has become weaker and their dominance in the playoffs has declined year by year. This has little to do with the two teams. The assistants have deteriorated seriously, but there is not much new blood added. In the past few years, Kirilenko has only been drafted, and free agents have been introduced...Salt Lake City is even worse than Boston in attracting big-name free agents.

When the Clippers attacked again, Li Ao once again seized the singles position.

Jordan: ()
Forget it, he has not tortured Shuangsha once or twice, so let the big spider torture the little spider.

Jordan analyzed privately with Steve Kerr that Li Ao's seeking death before the playoffs must have nothing to do with Shuangsha. It is most likely that he can't stand other players being called "Little Spider-Man".

Now seeing Li Ao so actively wanting to beat Kirilenko, Jordan felt that he was right.

Li Ao continued to hit Kirilenko from behind. When the opponent lowered his focus to defend against the hit, he suddenly turned around and charged forward!

Kirilenko was unable to stop him, and Li Ao quickly rushed to the right side of the three-second zone, took a step to the baseline, and scored with a hook.

Kirilenko failed to hinder Li Ao's sudden advance, and Ostertag found it difficult to defend in place.

Li Ao quickly adjusted his mood when retreating from defense. He played wildly in these two rounds, and then he had to regain his stability. The "perfect warm-up" opening shooting touch bonus was over.

On the other side, Stockton patted the frustrated Kirilenko on the back and went to receive the serve and advance.

There is still a gap between Little Spider-Man and the real Spider-Man.

Stockton feels that Kirilenko's physical condition can restrain Li Ao. His height and wingspan are better, his mobility and confrontation are also online, and his defensive skills, consciousness, and attitude are good. In two years, if he has some flesh on his body, he will have Li Ao. With that kind of weight, he will not be worse than Li Ao on the defensive end.

But this rookie, who looks fierce in appearance and defensive style, is not as good mentally as he seems.

This year's All-Star Rookie Game was Kirilenko's birthday, and after it became the backdrop of an unreplicable 'Classic Rookie Game', he returned to the locker room and cried, and it was revealed that he was out.

Fortunately, this rookie is very used to being 'led'. If Kirilenko is the leader, he can trick the team to death, but with his elder brother to lead him, when he is frustrated and lost, the elder brother only needs to comfort him casually, and he will Can stand up.

At the beginning, Li Ao scored two goals in a row, showing a wave of ability. The Clippers led 4-2, but as the game progressed, the Clippers failed to quickly take advantage of the score.

Iron-Blooded Sir, this title is not given randomly, the confrontation was fierce!
From the point guard to the center, everyone on the Jazz was on the line defensively and cooperated tacitly. After the team cooperation started, the Clippers played very well.

The referee's whistleblowing standards are quite loose. The Clippers have five starters and four new-generation players. The shortcomings of inexperience in the playoffs are exposed.

After fighting, Jordan had to step forward to stabilize the situation.

It started 4-2, and by the time of the official timeout in the first quarter, the score reached 9-11, with the Clippers trailing by 2 points.

...

Returning to the bench, Jordan was not angry because he lost the initiative at the start. He asked Li Ao in a joking tone: "What are you going to do next? I can't help it. I have to go down and rest. If this continues, you will have to It helps the opponent consider their second-round opponents."

Li Ao rolled his eyes when he heard this. If there was nothing he could do, you, the God of Basketball, would have jumped a long time ago.

He admitted that he still underestimated this opponent, mainly because in the playoffs last season, the Kings tortured the Jazz too easily before they were fully integrated. He valued this opponent very much, but it was not enough.

The group of people on the opposite side have a lot of experience in the playoffs for more than ten years. In the current environment that is more conducive to defense, the opponent's defense at the beginning was much better than them.

The four starters on the opposite side are all experienced, 4 to 4, and their side is also 1 to 4...

The opponent's use of penalty scale, defensive experience, and seizing offensive opportunities are all better.

How to fight next?
Li Ao glanced at Jordan and said: "Defense + singles."

Jordan sighed and sat down, bored.

Gentry's adjustment is consistent with the idea of ​​Xia Xia.

He replaced Odom for Jordan, Campbell replaced O'Neal, and Bibby, Li Ao, and Matt Halprin continued to play.

Before the game, he had thought that he might enter the stage of competing for star players very early, but he had to give it a try anyway. It would be better to be able to play a team offense. If the team offense cannot be opened, he is not afraid!
After seeing his beloved disciple say 'think about the next round of opponents', although his mentality exploded, he also had something he wanted to say, but he didn't dare to say it...

"Retire after this series, Shuangsha! You are already in the dust of history. If you are still unwilling to retire, then see the power of young people!"

Gentry:?

Did I just speak?Did you accidentally express your feelings?

This sound... Gentry turned to look at the technical stage. Both his disciple and Shuangsha were applying magnesium powder. He couldn't see the face of his disciple who turned his back to him, but he could see Ma Long's ferocious expression. Even the poker Stockton's face looked very unhappy!

Vaco!Dear disciple, what are you doing!We are still lagging behind!

　I’m a little busy during the day today, so I’ll keep it short and concise. I’ll make up for the 1000 words I missed today~
