Alpacas galloping in the minds of the big sharks.

He's having a similar idea to the exploding head now - how many games have I watched this little spider play?

Seeing that Li Ao fell so badly and was so proud, O'Neill, who was originally angry, suddenly felt less angry, stepped forward and picked up Li Ao with both hands, and put it down to help him steady.

Li Ao: o_O???

Li Ao, who was originally stunned, instantly swelled with 10,000 sentences in his heart.

In the past, he carried others.

I didn't expect him to be so big, and he would be picked up one day!

Resisting the urge to scold the street, Li Ao came to the top arc to continue defending.

As long as you pretend that nothing happened, no one will notice this scene.

No!

The race continues with 3.7 seconds left.

Ron Harper received the ball and broke through, made a quick stop, and gave a cap......

Ron Harper had just lifted the ball up and didn't throw it before he was slapped down by Li Ao, and as the ball hit the floor, the whistle blew at the end of the first quarter.

Ron Harper: Isn't it just bullying the old man on the inside?

The outside line also comes to bully! It's too much!

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers maintained a slight lead of 36-34 thanks to O'Neal's 11 free throws of 6 and 4 of 4 free throws to score 14 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks.

Li Ao played the full first quarter for the first time, shooting 5-of-8, plus 1-of-2 free throws, and scored 11 points and 2 assists.

However, he now feels a little more relaxed than he did in the first three games, playing seven or eight minutes in the first quarter.

In the next 8 minutes or so, in addition to the opponent's interior attack frame rushing in to interfere, he stood half a step outside the free throw line most of the time, covering Fox at the top of the arc.

On the offensive end, after he scored 6 points in a row, he immediately switched to counterattacking and responding, and took the pot when necessary.

It's a really easy way to play, and it's very useful in certain situations.

For example, without Kobe Bryant now, the Lakers can only use infinite defense against him, one-on-one pursuit, and a group of old men can't keep up at all, so he can play like this.

There is no such thing as a bad way of playing, only a bad user and the timing of use.

But there is another necessary condition for such a style of play to succeed - Odom shot 4-of-5 in the first quarter, including 1-of-1 three-pointers, and finished with 9 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists.

In the second quarter, Li Ao rested for three minutes before playing, and the Clippers played a 14-9 score in the first half of the quarter.

Odom's shooting percentage began to decline at this time, the Clippers' interior containment decreased, and the outside offense was also affected.

The Lakers went on an 18-10 half-quarter comeback.

At halftime, the Lakers regained a five-point lead at 63-58 to end the first half.

O'Neal blasted 11 points in the first half! 25 points at halftime, regaining the highest individual score in the game.

Li Ao played 9 minutes in the second quarter and got 7 points, 1 board, 2 assists and 1 steal, and Odom played 10 minutes and got 5 points, 2 boards and 3 assists.

The two did their best, but their most trusted teammate in the past two games, O'Neal Jr., was pulled tonight.

The offense couldn't move, and the mid-to-close-range shot, which was not good enough, barely scored after the confrontation with O'Neal, and could only ensure a certain rush and containment, and the performance was not as good as Chris Mime.

Chris Meme, a 213-centimeter, 120-kilogram white center, had an unexpected effect tonight, and of course he couldn't defend most of the time, but in the final moments of each quarter, he was quite effective in defending O'Neal.

For the cultivation of O'Neal Jr., Gentry is placed in third place, the first is the rookie Little Spider, and the second is the second-year Left Devil, both of whom are younger and stronger.

So those two played well tonight, and Gentry naturally rotated around those two, with Chris Meem playing 13 minutes in the first half and O'Neal Jr. only 11 minutes.

However, what made it strange for the Clippers was that O'Neal was substituted after an official timeout in the second quarter......

During the break, Gentry made detailed adjustments to the style of play that worked well in the first half.

It's five points behind, but it's the best they can do.

On the Lakers' side, even if Kobe Bryant is absent, he has the strength of at least 50 wins, which is much stronger than them, and it is very rare to find a way to play that can be confronted.

Li Ao's on-the-spot response was even better than Gentry thought, such a non-mainstream style of play, it was actually like having fought, and drawing inferences from one another, the effect of saving physical strength was much better than he expected.

…

Coming back from halftime, the Clippers fielded a lineup of McGinnis, Ao Lee, Margetty, Sean Lukes, and O'Neal Jr.

The Lakers fielded a combination of Tyronn Lue, Brian Shaw, Horry, Hores-Grant, O'Neal.

Looking at the opposite side and another lineup that can play invincible offense and top defense if Kobe Bryant is there, Li Ao feels that the Lakers' invincibility in the playoffs in 01 is not unreasonable.

Although the Lakers' individual ability is not outstanding, if they change to another team, the overall evaluation may fall a lot, but they are suitable for triangle offense, and each has its own specialty, with O'Neal here, they can play a beautiful match, 50 wins starting level strength, O'Neal brings not only unparalleled containment on the offensive end, but also teammates can rest assured that they can switch defenses on the outside to make up for the defense of the pinch.

With such a lower limit of strength, with Kobe Bryant, the second dynasty of the Bulls may not be able to do the Lakers this year, no wonder the league wants to use three seconds of defense to slash O'Neal.

In addition, since the 98-99 season, the Lakers will use the middle class exception every year, as well as the middle-class players who are traded, and in the summer of 01, the Lakers fell into the 'middle-class trap', and the transactions and reinforcements were blocked, and it was so difficult to win the championship in the 01-02 season.

In the two free markets of 02 and 03, the Lakers would have been even worse, if it weren't for Payton's mid-class investment in the summer of 03 and Malone's base salary to join, O'Neal's defense was cut in the Lakers 04 Finals There is absolutely no play, a bunch of middle-class veterans.

After the start of the second half, Li Ao played much more aggressively on the offensive end than in the first half.

Actively cooperate with McGinnis and Margety, who take turns in singles.

Odom rested, and they had nothing else to do but fight.

However, the Clippers players, who were ready to be beaten and would never give up, were surprised to find that they played back and forth with each other!

On the defensive end, O'Neal was welded under the basket, and on the offensive end, O'Neal was not as active as he was in the first half.

After playing for more than 3 minutes, the two teams played a wave of 8-8!

The Clippers players themselves couldn't believe that they actually bit the score!

When it came to the Lakers' offense, O'Neal received the ball in a low position and singled, and wanted to grit his teeth and chisel one to boost morale, but when he saw Li Ao rushing in, he chose to turn around and face the frame, and O'Neal Jr. seized the opportunity to cut the ball and cut it!

The ball was slapped by O'Neal Jr. and bounced out of bounds.

Li Ao looked at the movements that were obviously not as good as O'Neal's swiftness in the first half...... He thought that O'Neill was replaced only after the official timeout, and he suddenly figured it out.

Excess weight!

More than a dozen shots in the first quarter!

Plus the current performance......

Li Ao wanted to remind Gentry, but heard the sound of a substitution.

Boykins, who is good at bursting into close throws, replaces McGinnis, who is good at breaking through and pull-up jumpers.

Gentry has something!

Li Ao dared to boldly conclude that it was because he had a system, and their coach dared to be so bold that O'Neill had a physical crisis!

In fact, Gentry didn't think about O'Neal's declining form, and he no longer had any illusions about the 60+23 game in March this year and O'Neal's 25 points in the first half tonight.

He just saw an opportunity at close range and put on Boykins to give it a go, thinking it was better than McGinnis' mid-range iron.

Although the starting point is different, the choice is right.

After the substitution, Boykins and Margeti took turns rushing inside, Margeti holding the ball and rushing at O'Neal like a dynamite bag, while Boykins took a deft path and threw in circles at close range.

In the first half, the two of them were looking for hats, but at this time, the success rate was good!

Later, O'Neal simply stood under the basket and only stared at Margeti, and the Lakers were forced to close the defense, and it was Li Ao who benefited the most!

In the middle of the third quarter, Li Ao continued to run back from the baseline to the high position, shooting 3 of 5, plus 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 8 points in 4 minutes!

Playing for 7 minutes and 44 seconds, Odom, who had rested long enough, came on the court.

In front, the Lakers were able to rely on team offense to maintain the situation, scoring 18 points in nearly 8 minutes, and did not let the Clippers, who scored 22 points, overtake the score.

Boykins and Margeti played, the Clippers' defense was difficult to guarantee, Boykins couldn't defend anyone, and Magetti was only good at defending strong breakaway players.

But Odom came on the court, brought Greg Anthony and Big Q, and Chris Meem at center replaced O'Neal Jr., plus Li Ao, the Clippers' defense has been greatly improved!

In the following time, the Clippers beat the Lakers 12-6.

With 4 seconds left in the third quarter, Medvidenko, who replaced O'Neal, received the ball on the inside, jumped to dunk, and aimed at Li Ao rushing in, so scared that the ball almost came out of his hand, and quickly grabbed it and raised it for a layup...... gave Li Ao the opportunity to make up for the defense in place.

As Li Ao succeeded in bullying the rookie again, the big hat fanned the ball away, and after the third quarter, the Clippers overtook the Lakers by 5 points at 92-87!

O'Neal looked at it again on the sidelines, holding the collar of the jersey, but the difference was that he was pulling the jersey with both hands, gritting his teeth, and looking unhappy.

Thankfully, the jersey hasn't changed sponsors yet, otherwise it wouldn't have been a mess.

That little spider will only bully the old, weak, sick and disabled! The caps have surpassed him!

He played 27 minutes in three quarters and got four blocks.

That little spider has been blocked 5 times! only capped him once, and the rest are either rookies or veterans with more than 30 hats.

It's a face!

And the little spider also pulled his eyelids at him and stuck out his tongue and said, "You come out to hat me", it's so angry to think about it!

He's kind of a blast head that wants to recuperate at home.

That guy is here, he won't be so tired in the first quarter, the players on the opposite side won't be unguarded, and he won't have to be so tired defensively.

He usually plays an average of 40 minutes per game, and there is no physical problem, because he usually doesn't play so many singles, and most of the time he asks for the ball under the basket to contain the opponent's defense.

He only needs to swing his teeth and claws under the basket to ask for the ball, and someone will come to him to pinch him who hasn't received the ball yet.

The defense also has a one-defense explosive head in the top arc area, and he only needs to pay attention to the flank cut.

There is another one, he feels that he is a little fat, well, eat more at night, otherwise how can he have the strength to lose weight in the competition.

Fortunately, he stroked in the third quarter, recovered a lot of physical strength, and now he is not too far behind, so he wants to win the game!

Hat Li Ao, O'Neill doesn't think about this anymore.

The little spider is only floating on the outside in the face of the inside line, and when counterattacking in the face of the defender, he punches hard, and he can buckle it, which is just a face!

But don't say it, this calm style of play, after being partnered with the explosive head for a long time, he appreciates it.

Soon, the fourth quarter began.

O'Neal scored two consecutive singles to improve his personal score to 33 points, and he also worked hard again on the defensive end.

However, the young team is playing with momentum, and the big shark without K can't stop it!

Odom first fed Mime a mouthful of cake, and then Li Ao received the ball at a 45-degree angle on the right side and hit a three-point shot.

O'Neal succeeded twice in singles, but the difference was opened up by one point!

In the following time, under O'Neal's leadership, the Lakers returned to the powerful offensive performance of the first quarter and the second half of the second quarter.

In terms of situation, the Lakers are pressing the Clippers to play.

But whenever it came time for someone to step up and score alone, the Lakers were on their stomachs.

The receiver in the bottom corner is also pulled, whether it is Horry or Fox, they are better at the three-point line in the area within the 45-degree angle on both sides, there, covered by Li Ao!

On the Clippers' side, when they needed to stand up on the outside and score on their individual ability, Odom and Li Ao continued to connect!

Despite the Lakers' late offensive play, the Clippers maintained a slight lead.

At 11 minutes and 14 seconds into the final quarter, the Lakers played a 32-28 score in the quarter, and are currently 119-120 behind the Clippers by one point, but the ball is on the opposite side.

When the Clippers attacked, Odom held the ball at the top of the arc, and the Lakers stared at the Clippers' mid-range shots and handed over the basket to O'Neal, which was so reassuring.

Something unexpected for the Lakers players came.

Li Ao went around from the high position, and then cut inside, and the Lakers players thought that he was going to slip to the bottom line and was ready to make up for the defense infinitely.

As a result, after Li Ao entered the three-second zone, he suddenly ran back to the sideline of the three-second zone and stopped Fox behind him.

Odom played the ball in time, Li Ao received the ball and turned to face the bottom line, O'Neill realized that something was wrong, and quickly pressed up, and the adrenaline exploded in a hurry, and the action was very fast, but it was still too late!

The biggest advantage of Li Ao's hook hand is that the shot is fast!

You don't even need to jump like Abdul-Jabbar!

When O'Neal hit the spot, the ball had already flown into the air, and O'Neill struggled to jump, but the ball had a high arc and he didn't touch it, so he could only watch the ball fly through the air and fall into the frame!

122-119, the Clippers lead by 3 points!

The Zen master finally called a timeout and arranged the key balls.

Gentry also made personnel changes, with a combination of Quentin Richardson, Rio, Odom, O'Neal Jr., and Chris Mime on the field.

At the end of the timeout, the Lakers served in the frontcourt, did not press the rhythm, and directly began to attack the run.

Gentry arranged to defend the opponent's three points, but Li Ao ran directly from the opposite ball, and he felt that it was wrong.

He made his own defensive adjustments......

At the top of the arc, Ron Harper blocked and broke through, and Horry did not pull outside the three-point line as usual after dismantling, but blocked it and cut directly to the middle.

At this time, O'Neal struggled to squeeze Chris Meme, and O'Neal Jr., who was chasing Horry in, was attracted by O'Neal without the ball, Ron Harper split the ball, and Horry received the ball and flew to the basket......

"Smack"

"Bang"

Spider-Man bullies the old man again!

Li Ao pressed the ball that Horry had just thrown out on the rebound with one palm, grabbed the ball with his big hand, and took it directly.

Even the cover with the grab!

The Zen master opened his mouth in surprise on the sidelines.

He saw more than the players on the field, and when Ron Harper burst in, the little spider let go of Fox at a 45-degree angle on the left side and went straight inside!

His tactical purpose of wanting to attack quickly to grab two points was seen through!

At this time, Huo Li, who was capped, hugged Li Ao in a panic...... The Zen master sat down.

The O'Neills who were about to hug little O'Neill were numb.

There's a no-foul with more than 60 free throw percentages, and you're going to make a top mid-range shot?

Is it because the little spider is only 19 years old and wants to test people's psychological quality?

For the fact that Horry was 'bullied and powerless' by Li Ao, O'Neill did not sympathize at all.

The number of fouls arrived early, and when Li Ao was hugged, the referee immediately blew the whistle.

Li Ao came to the opposite side and walked to the free throw line, and this time, there were boos and cheers from the audience.

Although he likes to cheer, when playing away from home, he still wants to hit until the opponent fans are booing him.

Take it one step at a time!

Li Ao hit two free throws steadily, 123-118, and the Clippers took a 5-point lead!

With 24 seconds left and 5 points behind, the Zen master didn't call a timeout and let the players play by themselves.

Not surprisingly, Horry made a three-point shot against Odom.

With Fox and Horry, two veteran pitchers who don't drop the chain at critical moments, there has to be someone to single-handedly attract and fed the ball.

In the last round, the attacking Zen master did not play a three-point tactic but chose to attack, and this is the reason.

After O'Neal Jr. grabbed the defensive rebound, the Lakers didn't foul again.

Odom took the ball up front and threw the ball into the air with 3 seconds left.

Like a cup wrestling, the players and coaches on the sidelines of the Clippers poured into the court, and everyone celebrated wildly.

O'Neill looked at the other side in celebration, but there wasn't too much negativity.

did his best, played 39 minutes, shot 16 of 30, plus 9 of 16 free throws, scored 41 points, 14 boards, 4 assists, 2 steals and 5 blocks, what else do you want him to do?

And it's just a regular season game, to be honest, he played quite well, it's ......

Fans, what does it mean for you to wear our jerseys and cheer for that little spider?

However, Li Ao shot 12 of 26 tonight, including 1 of 5 three-pointers, plus 7 of 7 free throws, and scored 32 points, 4 boards, 6 assists, 2 steals and 7 blocks......

Really dare to throw!

Especially in the first three quarters, he made 0 of 4 three-pointers, got the opportunity to shoot decisively in the fourth quarter, and went in, O'Neal seemed to see the familiar explosive head.

But the back was not like it, and in the next 11 minutes, he didn't make a single three-point shot, and it turned into using the threat of just hitting a three-point shot to find an inside scoring opportunity.

and Odom, who scored 33 points, 14 boards, 11 assists, 3 steals and 1 block tonight, also surprised O'Neal.

These two played so well and lost unjustly.

But if you don't say it's the best partner, O'Neill still has an idea at the moment - give me an explosive head, even if the little spider and the left demon explode together, I can hammer them to death!
