Li Ao completed the cap against the center for the fourth time in this game, waking up Kobe.

Bryant found that he looked, seemed, probably, should, probably, probably...... There are no conditions to play team offense.

There are too many absences and replacements of the main teammates, and now it is better for him to play alone.

Then, he chose to pick.

In the past, the third quarter was when his physical strength crushed everything, but today, he was a little unmoved.

It's still okay, but it's not like the usual one-five......

At 9 minutes and 22 seconds in the third quarter, Li Ao seized the opportunity again, contracted the pinch, and fanned the ball that Foster had raised.

Foster saw Li Ao come in, he didn't shoot the ball, his legs didn't exert his strength, and he gave up.

He really wanted to tell Kobe Bryant - don't pass the ball to me, although it is a good opportunity, I can't put it in!

Kobe Bryant also wanted to shout: Can you not catch Foster and Medvedenko, who are white centers with slow hands and slow reactions, and try it!

will bully the weak chicken center! It's kind of waiting for the fat man to come back and bully him!

There are always some firsts.

Kobe Bryant has looked forward to the fat man's absence many times, and now for the first time, he expects the fat man to come back soon......

Li Ao fanned the ball out of bounds and got the 7th block of the game, but the Zen master called a timeout and gave up.

Kobe Bryant, who shot 53% in the first half, has dropped to 45% now, and the score has come to 70-89, and the current score in the third quarter is 12-23, and there is no possibility of struggling.

The Clippers also replaced Li Ao and Odom, who had played more than 33 minutes without rest, and let O'Neal Jr. pick up the inside, and let McGinnis and Boykins pick up the outside, and played the rest of the time.

At 10:12 p.m., the final whistle blew.

The Clippers fans cheered loudly in celebration.

It's a pre-season, but you'll be happy if you win.

Moreover, Li Ao's performance is too good!

Played 24 minutes, shot 7 of 13, including 0 of 1 three-pointers, plus 2 of 3 free throws, and scored 16 points, 3 boards, 6 assists, 1 steal and 7 blocks!

The Lakers on the opposite side only have 6 blocks, and Li Ao alone has more than the entire team on the opposite side!

got 630 achievement points, Li Ao was very excited, and wanted to chat with Kobe, the other party got 30 points and 7 assists on 10 of 22 shots tonight, and his performance was also very good, but he just lost.

But when Kobe Bryant saw Li Ao walking towards him, he didn't even take the towel, and walked into the player's tunnel quickly, without looking back.

Looking at Li Ao's stupid return to the opposite side, and then looking at Ryder who slipped away quietly, the Zen master also had alpacas running in his heart.

For Li Ao's shooting, what Kobe Bryant saw was - this spider is like me;

What the Zen master sees is that he has an advantage in height and arm span and has a good chance to shoot decisively, is pinched, is sticked, decisively divides the ball and protects the ball to the receiving teammate.

Bet on what the Grizzlies don't dare to choose, stud!

…

He averaged 18 points, 4.3 rebounds, 7.1 assists, 1.3 steals and 3.6 blocks per game, shooting 49.4% from the field and 32% from three-point range.

After all the preseason games, Li Ao became a unique focus among the rookies.

Although Kenyon Martin averaged 15.3 points, 7 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game in seven games, Mike Miller averaged 14 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game.

But the style of play of the two, as well as the team's role positioning, the media analyzed that the two could not play such a performance in the regular season.

In the preseason, the opponents were not prepared defensively, and Kenyon Martin's pure pie-eating style of play had a lot of opportunities.

Mike Miller, for his part, has a much wider shooting area than Kenyon Martin, but he's a role player, and Duncan averaged just seven shots per game in the preseason, more than doubling in the regular season.

And Mike Miller's three-point performance was not as good as it was in the NCAA period, and he shot an exaggerated 46.1 percent from two-point range during the preseason, but only 35 percent from three-point range.

Li Ao's evaluation is contrary, and the media's evaluation of him is similar to Kobe's.

With a more consistent, carefully selected tactic that suits him, he may get better and better as the run-in intensifies.

When Li Ao himself saw these comments, he felt that 'it was a good time to be born', if he had entered the NBA a few years ago...... He's not afraid, it's just that if he plays well, he won't necessarily be touting him, and there will definitely be media who will compare the highlight moments of other rookies with him and guide the confrontation.

This year, there is no one in the same class to compare with him, and in this case, the media has chosen the blowing mode.

You have to capture a part of the audience.

And Li Ao's most eye-catching thing is not that he has 7.1 assists for so little time with the ball, he is famous in college and has been discussed many times.

Now he is attracting attention with 25 blocks in 7 preseason games!

Most of these caps are concentrated in the three-second zone.

That is, the patch cap.

The area covered by his open arms is so large, larger than most of the inner lines, like a big spider, I really can't see the way I usually put my hands in my pockets.

Look at Li Ao's registered arm span on the NBA official website, 215 cm.

Gan!

Spider-Man is hugely popular in the United States and is one of the most popular superheroes.

Li Ao, who is in the entertainment capital of Los Angeles, has some local fans who have begun to call him by this nickname.

On the 27th, after the preseason, the Clippers had a day off.

On the 28th and 29th, two days of preparation training were conducted.

In the past three days, Li Ao and Kobe Bryant have seen the dying sunset in front of the window of the 'blacksmith room'.

Kobe, who swore that he would never pay attention to the big spider, hung up directly when he received the call at noon on the 27th, but then he broadcast it back, and he didn't say anything, and directly left a sentence "See you at 4 o'clock".

You don't have to guess anymore, Kobe knows what this thing is trying to do.

Although I wanted to refuse, the idea of 'defeating the big spider' lingered, and I finally went.

He asked about the schedule, and Li Ao on the 30th was leaving Los Angeles, which would not affect his recuperation for the opening game on the 31st.

However, this time, Kobe Bryant began to 'rot' the next day.

He took the initiative to compete with Li Ao in the middle distance and did not rush to the basket, which made his heads-up success rate drop a lot, but the training efficiency was improved.

Li Ao is happy to do this, what he wants is to increase his defensive experience in this area, and at the same time, he can also learn the small details of the opponent's shooting.

Both sides treat each other as sparring partners.

…

On the morning of the 30th, Li Ao went to Salt Lake City with the team.

Vivian, Liam, Dean Teng, Henry Bibby and others also went to watch the game, but this time they didn't go ahead of schedule and prepared to take the old man's private jet.

Originally, Vivian wanted to take a team charter flight with Li Ao, as a small boss, she didn't need Li Ao to take her, she had this right.

But she heard that the last time Li Ao went to Seattle, she went on a date with a resident singer, and she vaguely felt that she was a little in the way, otherwise maybe Li Ao had already made an appointment with a little girl in Denver.

In her opinion, although Li Ao's requirements are high, try a few more, and maybe she will find the right eye.

The Clippers stayed at a hotel in Salt Lake City, and Gentry told the players to stay at the hotel and go straight to the Energy Solutions arena tomorrow.

No one on the Clippers team went out to play, it was already cold, and there were anti-discrimination demonstrations outside today, Li Ao thought about it for a while, and estimated that the anti-racism association here was short of money again.

I don't know what the team thinks, he originally had a little brother with a bag to live in the same room, but Gentry was stunned to change him to a single room, and let Big Q go to live in the same room with the assistant coach.

But the big Q who carried the bag still couldn't escape the drop.

But after Big Q helped him deliver the box and bag to the room, he left Big Q behind and played PS2 together, Big Q was so happy - the boss took me to play games!

Under the guise of playing little O'Neill, he also came, he complained two sentences and gave up the game console to these two goods, and went to the restaurant to read the news with his book.

Today is the first matchday of the regular season, with 14 teams playing the opener.

The opening game between the Clippers and the Lakers is tomorrow, the Lakers are the defending champions, and the Clippers can only play on the road.

In the past few days, Li Ao has seen the news, and the media have made several lists.

The Lakers, Magic, and Trail Blazers are regarded as the top three favorites to win the championship.

The Lakers are the defending champion and the OK combination is the best in the world.

The Magic got Duncan and took off on the spot.

The Trail Blazers successfully retained Sabonis and strengthened a top-notch pick with the potential to average a double-double per game.

The fastest regression teams, there are two teams on the prediction list - Spurs and Pacers.

The Spurs are cold, losing Duncan, and visually smashing up.

The Pacers, last year's overall runner-up, made another commotion, and it was exactly the same as a few years ago - refusing to renew the contract with Mark Jackson.

In the 95-96 season, the Pacers won 52 and refused to give Mark Jackson a long-term contract, and after Mark Jackson left, the Pacers' record plummeted, and the Pacers licked their faces and traded Mark Jackson back.

This just reached the finals, and once again, Mark Jackson finally went to assist Carter with 7.3 million US dollars in 2 years.

A lot of media and experts have expressed their confusion - why does Larry Bird hate Mark Jackson so much?

After swiping through other news, Li Ao swiped the news about him.

The media is really fickle, and the two days after the preseason were touted about him.

Today, it's starting to be a question.

Will Leo fit in the regular season?

Can the pre-season performance be sustained?

How much does preseason stats have?

Is pre-season performance significant?

Two days ago, they were still saying that he must have performed better in the regular season than in the preseason!

But on the list of best rookie predictions, there is something to do with the media, and only his name is written, as if he has schizophrenia.

After closing the web page, Li Ao tapped on the keyboard.

In the past few days, he has been thinking about the adjustment of the details of the running shot.

Playing seven pre-season games, he gained a lot of experience.

He also learned something when he used Kobe Bryant's mid-to-long-range single defense.

Running shots don't have to be aimed at throwing the defense away, that's too physically demanding.

With his physical condition, good emergency stop and turning ability, and the bonus of 'stop level 3', he only needs to have space to pass and receive the ball, and only needs a certain amount of space to make a shooting action, which is a good running position to catch and shoot.

It's definitely a little less efficient than a shot that runs out of a real gap.

But the physical exertion will be reduced a lot, which will help him save his physical strength.

Moreover, as the main point of attack, it is actually difficult for him to get real empty seats.

If you think your efficiency will be affected, then you can practice the mid-range shooting and three-point shooting to be more accurate!

The plan is clear!

…

The next day, October 31, the first game day of the Clippers' new season.

At about 6 o'clock in the morning, Li Ao woke up and opened his eyes, and the system screen had been opened, showing a prompt that the update had been completed.

"Name: Li Ao, English name: Leo.

Age: 19 years old (August 1, 1981).

Height: 203 cm, Arm Span: 227 cm.

Weight: 99 kg.

Overall rating: 77.

Physical fitness: speed 91 (burst acceleration 89), strength 89 (explosive power 86), bounce 86 (speed 90), flexibility 92, physical strength 89......

Basic skills: 72 three-point shooting, 86 mid-range shooting, 89 layups, 65 hook hands, 63 ball control, 82 passing, 87 step back, 88 lateral movements, 88 forward rounds, 70 strides, 75 turns, 72 emergency stops......

Technique: 65 hook hands, 74 catch-and-turn shots, 72 catch-and-shoot jumpers in quick stops......"

He looked at his personal evaluation report, and there has not been much improvement in the past month, with three points, layups, and front wrapping each improved a little, and the basic skills and techniques of the pull-up jump shot have been improved.

Because most of the training is team training, there is less time for individual training.

But progress is not only reflected in personal ability, but also in the cooperation with teammates.

He switches to the team interface.

The strongest of the team, as he expected - "Lamar Odom, 21 years old, 208 cm, 104 kg, overall rating 84 (?) ）…… Rating: Unpredictable player. ”

Lama is only 84 comprehensive evaluation, this is a player who averaged 16.6 points, 7.8 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.3 blocks per game in his rookie year.

Other players should be evaluated based on performance, right?

But see the question mark and player evaluation at the back...... emmm…… This 84 makes a bit of sense.

In addition to Odom, Li Ao felt what cruelty is and what is the difference between teams and teams.

Although he doesn't know what the situation of other teams is for the time being, they are worthy of being the team that got the Tanhua sign.

O'Neal Jr. 79, Greg Anthony 75, Margety 77, Big Q73, Piakowski 76, Kenyon Doolin 70......

Li Ao regarded himself as a partial student as an 80+ evaluation, and their whole team was only him and Odom who reached the excellent level.

However, they deserve to be the 'first-round team', with only three of the 14 first-round players having an overall rating below 70.

Regardless of the fact that the whole team is cheap, they are really cheap.

However, O'Neill Jr. and Margeti look very promising to break through to the excellent level.

Margeti, Li Ao feels like a deluxe enhanced version of Sam Clancy, the kind of genius who really has a devastating body, and has relatively good rim-attacking skills, but now he can only be used as an assaulter.

O'Neal Jr. is much stronger, and from training camp to the final game of the preseason, you can see a fairly noticeable improvement.

In the final preseason game with the Lakers, several backup centers of the Lakers were not too miserable, they were hatted 6 times by Li Ao, and they were also scored 21 points and 15 boards by O'Neal Jr.

O'Neal Jr.'s current problems are inaccurate mid-range shooting, inexperienced shooting in the middle of the basket, and a little too many hands when defending, and easy to foul...... But it's only a matter of time.

Exiting the team interface, Li Ao opened the lottery interface.

He now has 41,995 achievement points.

The offseason consumption is really big!

He sometimes relies on the achievement points he has saved up, and he practices several items a day, and feels that practicing one is too boring...... Fortunately, it is really enough, and there are more than 30,000 left by the end of September.

In the past month, he has had little personal training, and he usually chooses to use the task of 'Basic Team Coordination Training Method Level 1' to activate the body physiotherapy function.

The achievement points obtained in 7 preseason games, plus the 5 times I used Kobe as a sparring partner, saved several thousand, and returned to 40,000+.

The reason for opening the lottery interface is that the system prompts that his NBA career has officially started today, and the intermediate lottery has begun!

"Intermediate Lottery: 10,000 achievement points 1 time, you can draw medium-level rewards, and there is a small probability of getting rare rewards."

He thought about it for a moment - at the beginning of the new season, there are more games, the rewards of the games are more than double and more than those of the NCAA, and the data must be better than during the NCAA period...... Pump him!

At present, I will leave 10,000 yuan to buy a saliva pocket...... No, it's just training and physical therapy.

As he gave the command, a golden light flashed......

"10,000 achievement points have been consumed, congratulations to the host for the reward: tie your shoes (white)."

"Tie your shoelaces (white): Foot equipment, which does not take effect at the same time as other foot equipment, has a great effect on preventing slipping and falling."

"This reward is very ...... Utility? ”

Li Ao couldn't think of other adjectives for a while.

But it's really practical.

He looked at the practical instructions, oh, he doesn't need to replace the laces, if the shoes have laces when he wears the shoes, he can take the initiative to replace them, and he can also choose the color, take off the shoes, and the effect will be withdrawn.

It's also very practical.

As soon as he got started, he drew the equipment, and he felt that Ou Qi was estimated to be almost used today.

He opened the skill interface and looked at it, there are still 4 level 1 skills, 'Pride of the Champion' is temporarily abolished, don't worry about it for now, there are also 3 skills of 'Marathon', 'Cheer Worker', and 'Perfect Warm-up'.

He inquired about the system and got a reply that the intermediate lottery could not draw level 2 skill upgrade cards and fragments.

He was going to upgrade these level 1 skills to level 2 next.

He issued lottery instructions and drew 21 times in a row.

With the mentality of scratching and scratching, he saw the golden light for the first time......

Then, 20 more flashes of white light flashed......

"Congratulations to the host for receiving the intermediate reward: a level 3 skill upgrade card."

()

He remembered that he had two level 3 skill upgrade card fragments, and he was expecting to draw another one, and the first draw came directly to the finished product!

A good thing is a good thing, but he just thinks the reward is too good.

Seeing the reward of 20 white lights, the corners of his mouth widened.

3 Tier 2 Skill Upgrade Card Fragments, 1 Tier 3 Skill Upgrade Card Fragment!

After the system is automatically synthesized, switch to the props section, where there are 2 level 3 skill upgrade cards and 1 level 2 skill upgrade card.

3 Level 1 skills, he decisively chose to upgrade the 'marathon'!

He's tried summer league and preseason and it's worked out pretty well.

When counterattacking, as long as it is not counterattacking with the ball, if it starts from its own free throw line position, almost to the opposite free throw line, it can be triggered, although not every counterattack can take effect, but as long as it takes effect, it gets the effect of physical strength bonus in a single round, and it can play a role in the final end of the ball.

Positional offense, occasionally triggered, but not probable, he and Hamilton in the Pistons of the way the way to run is very different, under Larry Brown, Hamilton is looking for shooting opportunities on his own, there is little tactical component.

He is the main point of attack in the tactics, and it is relatively easy to get shots, and the coaching staff has designed a strategy that is not the kind of large-scale running for the sake of his shooting stability, but it can be used anyway.

Level 3 skill upgrade card, he did not continue to choose to upgrade the 'marathon', but chose 'Siege' and 'Transit Expert'.

Of these two, one is related to his supplementary defense and defense, and the other is related to strategy.

He gave the command, and the system said that the upgrade was complete, and all 3 cards were consumed.

"Marathon Level 2: When running without the ball for a long time, the physical strength of the short period is slightly improved, and if you receive the ball and shoot after a long-distance run, you will temporarily return to the best physical condition within two seconds after receiving the ball."

After reading the description of the level 2 'marathon', Li Ao's eyes widened.

The urge to go to Larry Brown and shoot his own basketball is here!

Two seconds is enough to slowly adjust the catch and shot!

"Forget it, those two seconds are not bad for counterattacking, the dunk is still very cool, and the catch and shoot after a wide range of runs, even if the physical strength temporarily recovers the best physical condition, the impact on the shooting is also very ......"

Li Ao put away his attention to this, and used it as a counterattack skill without the ball first.

"Siege Level 3: When the host moves in a position such as supplemental defense, co-defense, contraction, and pinching, the speed is +3, and the strength is +3; when the host successfully makes up the defense in place, the awareness of predicting the line of the ball when the opponent shoots is slightly improved, and the specific effect depends on the timing of the host's pinching and blocking."

"Relay Specialist Level 3: The host passes the ball within two seconds after receiving the ball, the mind will be clearer and calmer, and the ball sense will be improved; If the host's pass rating is below 85, it will be temporarily increased to 85 for this pass. ”

The effect of the 'marathon' has made Li Ao cry out for it.

These two skills have been upgraded to level 3, and Li Ao's eyes are about to pop out!

'Transit expert' He thought that it was useless in the later stage, it was an excessive skill in the early stage, but he didn't expect it to start to work hard in the later stage.

It didn't continue to improve in terms of passing accuracy, but it got an even bigger improvement - the trigger mechanic was upgraded! You no longer need to pass the ball in a fixed position, you can control the ball and move!

Although a two-second limit has been added, it is about the same as no compared to the previous limit of only being able to transfer the ball in a fixed position! Two seconds is enough to do a lot of things.

And the 'siege of the city' can be regarded as 'improving talent', and the sense of smell of the cover is improved!

He looked at the bonus of 'Abort Level 3', and felt that it was not at the same level as these two at all.

But after the excitement, he calmed down, and he realized that he had just fallen into a misunderstanding.

He feels that 'Transit Expert' and 'Siege' are much better than 'Suspension', because his talent for supplementing and assisting in defense and responding to the strategy is good.

If he doesn't have those talents, these two skills that require prerequisites are useless skills.

And 'abort' is a hard bonus, and he only needs to practice the pull-up jump shot to be able to use it.

Turning off the system, Li Ao closed his eyes and meditated for a while, and after eliminating distracting thoughts, he got up to take a shower, eat breakfast, and follow the team to the Energy Solutions Arena to prepare for the game.

A summer of individual training, a month of team running-in, and achievement points were also used.

He's ready for his first NBA game, the opponent, Utah!

…

Today is 15,000 words again, asking for a monthly pass~
