From sparring to superstar

Chapter 327 325. The greatness of the past is the past, and the Angel City aircraft carrier is unstoppable!
The score is 29 to 31, and the Clippers continue to bite the point difference!
Li Ao went on a 6-2 run and scored 3 goals in a row. The morale of the Clippers team was high!
It was the Lakers' offense again. Brian Shaw advanced past halftime and immediately passed the ball to Kobe.

The look of his teammates throwing hot potatoes made Kobe frown.

The Zen Master on the sidelines sighed softly, Brian Xiao was scared... We haven't collapsed yet!You are still leading, even if you hold on for one more section... No!Half a quarter...

It's not that it's incomprehensible. The Clippers' offensive performance in the first quarter was mediocre. Several of their veterans were able to muster their confidence and fight back and forth with the Clippers until the little fish shot away.

Now facing Li Ao, who scored 6 points in a row, the veterans were afraid that they would make mistakes and hold back the OK combination.

But this time they need these veterans to take on more responsibilities!
Zen Master shook his head. At least the veterans had provided enough help to the OK combination in the first quarter.

On the court, Kobe had a similar thought to Zen Master, frowning for a second before he figured it out.

The teammates have worked very hard to narrow the gap in strength between the two teams. From the need for their OK combination to fight for the whole game to just three quarters, it is time for them to stand up!

Facing Li Ao's defense, Kobe started playing singles!
Li Ao's defense was both ferocious and skillful, but Kobe was still able to move with ease under high confrontation.

After a few seconds of movement, the rhythm came, and Kobe changed direction and broke through!

Li Ao did not block Kobe's breakthrough, but turned around in time to catch up, covering Kobe's mid-to-long-range shooting space, chasing him all the way to close range, preparing to form an encirclement with Jordan and O'Neal Jr.

Kobe suddenly stopped at close range on the right side of the three-second zone, and took a step back by relying on his strong waist and abdominal core strength.

Jordan, who was contracting the attack, stopped his feet and blocked the baseline. Li Ao jumped over his head and turned around in time to block Kobe.

After Kobe took a step back, he turned 180 degrees to his right, came to the right sideline of the three-second zone, threw away Jordan and Li Ao, took off, and shot a jumper from close range...

hit!

The mentality of the Lakers role players who had just been shaken by Li Ao suddenly stabilized!
They have the Black Mamba!There are big sharks!
In the transition between offense and defense, Li Ao continued to run, received a pass from Odom, dribbled behind his back and took a step forward, then took off and made a mid-range shot... it was solid.

O'Neal protected the defensive rebound and Kobe got a chance to breathe.

Li Ao scored consecutive goals, and Kobe was also under great pressure.

He had discovered a long time ago that every time the big spider scored consecutive goals, the enthusiasm of the rest of the Clippers team surged and skyrocketed as if they stepped on the accelerator.

Offense and defense switched, Li Ao returned from the game, and his defense was still working hard. This time it was Kobe's turn to play the game.

Li Ao and Kobe are one-on-one. Although they don't have an advantage, the disadvantage is not particularly big!

For Li Ao, this is enough.

The Clippers don't need him to press Kobe to play, they just need him to force Kobe to start the offensive mode.

Kobe was very anxious, but he had no choice but to compete with Li Ao one ball at a time.

He really misses the time when he brutally tortured the Big Spider on the training ground. At that time, when the Big Spider faced him in dozens of one-on-one matches in one afternoon, he could hit half of them in one group of 1 balls, and he could defend half of the group of 10 balls. Very good.

Just two and a half years later, whether it is offense or defense, the big spider has the strength to arm-wrestle with him!

Impatience is inevitable, and Kobe no longer suppresses his emotions.

Although he was anxious, Kobe was extremely excited to be able to face the big spider who had progressed to this level!

The two started a long tug-of-war. You hit the iron and I smashed the frame. You made mid-range shots and I dunked.

Kobe's comprehensiveness and intensity of face-up singles ability rank among the best in the league, and he has all kinds of tricks at his disposal.

Li Ao's game is simple, post-up, running, catching and shooting, just two moves, but strong enough!
Moreover, Li Ao's size and amazing fadeaway shooting angle give him a great advantage against Kobe Bryant's defense in the mid-to-long distance.

The Clippers fans at the scene were extremely excited to see this scene!

Although he was still lagging behind, the score was sealed, thanks to Spider-Man!
Moreover, Spider-Man could barely withstand the onslaught of the Black Mamba with his back, which Clippers fans never expected.

They know that Li Ao has been improving and his singles skills are getting better and better, but Li Ao's strongest skills have always been his off-the-ball ability, defense, and support ability. Unexpectedly, Li Ao's post-up play has reached the point where he can barely deal with Kobe!

How happy the Clippers fans are, how anxious the Lakers fans are.

The score was stuck again. This was the case in the past two games. The Clippers took advantage of the score and came back later.

And just not willing to give in.

The more Li Ao improves, the more unwilling Lakers fans will be.

Every once in a while, they will feel that they no longer care about missing Spider-Man, but every time they play against the Clippers, they will rediscover that they are so unwilling to do so.

Perhaps, this will become the unhappiness of their entire fan career!
...

Li Ao did not consider the issue of physical strength at all, and used a more aggressive style of play than Kobe, barely fighting Kobe back and forth.

Gentry was not idle either, seizing the opportunity to make personnel adjustments.Jordan's supporting performance was better than Gentry expected. After playing for a while, he replaced Big Q and Odom and replaced him with Bibby and Gerald Wallace to enhance the stability of long-range shooting. , strengthened the attack on offensive rebounds, forcing O'Neal to spend more effort to protect the frame and boards. Gerald Wallace and O'Neal Jr. were tired of rushing, so he replaced Matt Halprin and Mark Blount. Keep up the impact.

The center funded by the Celtics finally comes in handy!

Zen Master watched the OK team risk their lives to compete with the opponent, and the physical strength they had finally accumulated in the first quarter was vomited out in this quarter... Still they could only sit there in a daze.

He really couldn't help it, the overall strength gap was too big!

Against the Trail Blazers, who only know how to defend, and the Jazz, who are so mature, it took them 6 games to defeat their opponents. Facing their neighbors, whose strength has improved so much compared to last year, and who are a lot weaker than last year, they still have to deal with it. The ability to parry depends purely on OK combinations.

He could only trust these two people.

Soon, on the last attack of the half, the Clippers had the ball.

Bibby played 8 minutes in this quarter, did not have many opportunities to respond, and only scored 1 goal.

But with 3 seconds left on the clock, he caught the ball and took a step forward to make a mid-range shot!

At the end of the half, Bibby hit the last shot, and the Clippers chased the score to 53-54, narrowing the point difference to 1 point!
Li Ao opened with 6 points and Bibby finished with a mid-range shot. The Clippers beat the Lakers by 30 points 25-5 in a single quarter!
Nearly [-] Clippers fans cheered wildly at the scene.

Lakers fans couldn't accept it, but they also saw it. The Clippers once again took the initiative after half the game and took over!
After halftime, the Clippers' combination of Bibby, Li Ao, Jordan, Matt Halprin, and O'Neal Jr. came on.

The Lakers... have one more rotation tonight, 1 players. This time Fisher, Kobe, Devin George, Mark Madsen, and O'Neal are on the field.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Clippers took the lead.

Jordan paddled throughout the second quarter, and now it's his turn to attack!
Facing Kobe's defense, Jordan turned right and hit the mid-range shot from the front of the basket in the three-second zone!

55 to 54, the Clippers lead by 1 point!
After all, the lead could not be maintained.

The Clippers' ability to play the strongest third quarter in the league this season actually relies on Jordan's "staggered efforts."

The OK team chose to rely on their teammates in the first quarter because they wanted to save their energy in the third quarter to compete with Jordan's "staggered effort".

Their plan briefly saw the light of day, but was foiled by Spider-Man.

The most hateful thing is that now the offensive end of Spider-Man is standing on the weak side baseline with his arms akimbo to contain him. They have to send someone to keep an eye on Spider-Man. Even if Spider-Man is tired enough and needs to stand still on the offensive end to preserve his physical strength for defense, they will not Dare to let go.

As strong as the OK group, when faced with this situation, despair arose uncontrollably in their hearts.

This didn't defeat them, but they had no choice but to fight!

The OK team tried their best to regain the lead, but Jordan, Bibby, and O'Neal refused!
Jordan's singles one after another, Bibby and O'Neal's pick-and-roll offense, Matt Halprin's rush and reception... steadily suppressed the OK combination!

Watching O'Neal dragging his huge body of more than 140 kilograms to fight for offensive rebounds, watching Kobe take shots again and again in the containment, and send the ball to O'Neal again and again... but he was still suppressed by several freshmen on the opposite side. , many Lakers fans shed tears at the scene.

OK Group, the best OK group in the world, has actually fallen into this situation.

Looking at the scene of the OK group trying their best, the commentator Bill Walton said with emotion: "I never thought that one day I would see sadness in the OK group."

Hubie Brown continued: "They have always been people who never give up easily. They have been too strong in the past three seasons. Last season, they even came close to eliminating the Clippers 4-1 to complete the third round. Winning consecutive championships, they used their strength to make people only remember their strength and make people forget the difficulties they have experienced, which is a very great thing."

第三节比分24比20，尽管OK组合攻防两端竭尽全力，还是无法阻止快船队以77比74反超3分进入末节。

In the fourth quarter, the Clippers steadily widened the point difference and expanded their lead bit by bit... At 9 minutes and 58 seconds, Li Ao caught the ball from the top of the arc and turned around and hit a three-pointer!

Kobe, who played 46 minutes without a second of rest tonight and was forced to sprint with all his strength from the beginning of the second quarter, could not keep up with Li Ao!
Jackson called a timeout and replaced both Kobe and O'Neal. Kobe resisted, but he had a tough attitude.

101 to 89, the Clippers' lead has reached 12 points!
The three-pointer from the opposite Spider-Man has killed the game.

In 2 minutes, there may be a slight hope of a comeback, and he also has the Black Mamba, a magical player at critical moments... But he doesn't want to risk injury to gamble on a probability that is infinitely close to zero.

Kobe became healthy only in the past two seasons. Moreover, not only did Kobe play 46 minutes without rest, but O'Neal did the same.

Zen Master announced his surrender, and Lakers fans were in mourning, shouting "We want the OK team," but he pretended not to hear.

The Clippers fans did not cheer at this time. Instead, they shouted "Defense" loudly when the Clippers defended, and shouted the name or nickname of the player who took the shot when attacking, which was a warning to the players not to be careless.

That's the benefit of being neighbors to the Lakers. Clippers players are always on guard when facing the Lakers.

There were no surprises, and the Clippers steadily maintained their advantage until the end...

At 10:24 p.m., the final whistle blew.

科比33投15中，其中三分球7中2，加上8中6的罚球，拿到38分7板6助攻2抢断；奥尼尔26投12中，加上9中5的罚球，拿到29分15板3助攻2抢断3盖帽，依旧无法阻止航母的航行。

李敖34投16中，其中三分球8中3，加上7中6的罚球，拿到41分7板4助攻2抢断2盖帽，率领快船队以106比93击败湖人队，大比分3比0！进入赛点！
