Listening to this, the teammates are very good!

This boss is really stingy.

has entered the NBA, not to mention hundreds of thousands of American knife net worth, everyone is a 'decent person'.

Especially in a bad team, they have nothing to be proud of except that 'decent people' can keep their pride as NBA players, so they pay more attention to that.

Li Ao, a star rookie, is so mixed, it's really incredible.

Only...... I admire it very much.

They didn't think about it before, but now that they think about it, how many of those famous stars care about whether they are decent or not?

No, people also care about decency, but people's decency is to win! It's to take honor! And not with it!

Fuck it!

Gentry blinked quickly, and he could feel the change in the mentality of the players from their expressions.

is worthy of their violent handsome guys.

This leadership ability, leverage.

That's when he heard the tech desk announce their substitution......

Gentry looked speechlessly at Larry LaRue, who was back next to him - I haven't said anything about the substitution yet!

Forget it, he didn't dare to object, he felt that if Li Ao raised his arms at this time and asked his teammates to beat the head coach, this group of people would dare to do it.

But not him! It's just that since everyone has changed, let's hurry up and make defensive adjustments.

He doesn't like hand-to-hand combat, but he's been with Larry Brown for years, and he has a tactical reserve for that!

…

Coming back from the timeout, the Clippers fielded a combination of Quentin Richardson, Ao Lee, Margety, Odom and O'Neal Jr.

The Knicks made no substitutions and continued to play as starters.

The Clippers attacked, and the Knicks continued to defend with iron and blood, and fought roughly.

Now that the Knicks players are proud, aren't they so arrogant after the rookie spiders on the other side?

They slapped the rookie spider in the face with a wave of 7 to 1!

Odom waited for Li Ao and Big Q to get into position, then passed the ball to Margeti on the left side of the free throw line.

In the face of the madman's defense, Margeti directly broke through from the middle distance!

Margeti's tendons are not given for nothing, the strong explosive power and starting speed, like opening a matchless, against the defense of the madman, still in a few steps away from the impact of the full, when entering the three-second zone, the madman has been crushed aside, jumping towards the aunt!

The aunt hurriedly pressed up, and it was too late to jump, so she could only struggle to carry Margeti.

Camby pounced aggressively......

The jump was too far to be deducted, and Margeti's hand holding the ball was close to Camby's hand reaching for him......

"Beep"

Margeti's ball was knocked out of Camby's hand, but the referee blew the whistle, Camby's hitter fouled, and Margeti got two free throws!

The fans, who had been suppressed for a while, immediately cheered for Margeti.

One dozen and three kills!

Li Ao slapped it in the face.

It's fierce!

If the king of JDZ made a foul like this, who would hack him?

Margeti was also excited, and after running to the side and high-fived Li Ao, who was applauding, he came to the free throw line.

Looking at the reckless Margeti, he hit both free throws!

Usually Gentry arranges personal training for Margeti not in offensive skills, but in mid-range shots and free throws.

At a glance, you can see that this body is a breakthrough flow play, with a mid-range shot, you can have better breakthrough conditions, free throws, and breakthroughs can be more effectively converted into scores.

The 13th pick in the first round of '99 was disciplined and hardworking, and now in an offseason, he has practiced free throws to an excellent shooting percentage of more than 80%.

When it came to the Knicks' offense, Charlie Ward had just crossed the halfway line and was subjected to a rough confrontation from Big Q.

198 cm, 101 kg, first-class speed, first-class confrontation, Charlie Ward was a little unbearable, and quickly passed the ball to the madman who came to answer.

The madman didn't encounter a rough confrontation, and Li Ao honestly opened his arms to guard the three-point line.

But he's the Knicks' biggest resistance on the offensive end.

Li Ao + O'Neal Jr., he can't play.

It doesn't matter, he can break through the ball!

The madman dribbles on the outside, is not in a hurry to break through, and when the time comes, when their mid-range king is about to run out of the opportunity, he will break through to attract attention, and then divide the ball.

It's a very simple way to play, purely relying on his and Alan Houston's individual ability, but the iron-blooded style of play, the simpler the better.

But......

Houston isn't having a good time right now, either!

The chasing after him changed from Piakoski to Margeti with an arm the size of his skull!

The 13th pick in the first round is too rough and savage!

Houston is looking for Big Mom to cover on the flank...... ()

It's the taller, bigger, and stronger Odom who has changed the defense!

Find cover again...... It has become a big Q that can guess the nickname by looking at the braincase!

The madman waited, waited, Houston had no chance, so he could only pass the ball to the aunt who was leaning on Margeti.

Big Mom singled Margeti and squeezed to the sideline of the three-second zone, he was much stronger than Margeti in static confrontation, but now he has lost his explosiveness, and he can't hit it when he squeezes here, so he turns around and throws...... Iron!

After reaching the finals in 99, his strength began to decline off a cliff, commonly known as '30 and collapsed'.

Mainly reflected on the offensive end, he averaged 10 points per game last season, only 43% shooting rate, the core reason is the rapid deterioration of explosiveness, bullet speed and other aspects.

The defense can rely on the static power that can keep Mo Ning up to the three-second zone, and the offense is really pulled.

O'Neal Jr. roughly carried Camby to defend the rebound.

Switching offense and defense, Margeti continued to break through, and this time the Knicks came early to make up the defense, and the ball was distributed to the big Q on the wing...... Iron too.

When it came to the Knicks' offense, the Clippers continued to defend roughly, savagely.

The Clippers started with defense and caught the Knicks players off guard.

Normally, except for the team that is already defensive, no team will take the initiative to defend against them.

Knowing that they are the strongest defensively, and there are not so many high-quality role players and the league's highest-paid them, the average opponent will choose to find a way to play the offense well.

Their offense is really average, and the number of times they have scored more than 100 points in a season is handful.

But that's what the Clippers did!

And the Clippers really have so many players who are suitable to play against each other!

The madman received the ball, avoided Li Ao's long arm one step outside the three-point line, watched his teammates run, and thought about ways to open the situation.

The opponent's defensive changes are simple, but effective! Point guards, shooting guards, and power forwards switch defenses when they encounter cover, and it is difficult for Houston, as an off-ball shooter, to run out of the gap to catch and shoot......

Suddenly, the madman had a flash of inspiration and looked for Houston to block the demolition!

Houston was puzzled, but still went up to block Li Ao's side.

The madman broke through with the cover, and as he went, he saw Houston pull away from the flank, and he hit the ground and passed the ball.

Houston received the ball and saw Li Ao pressing towards him...... Madman, I thank you so much!

The madman was also dumbfounded, did he block and break through the rookie's muscular man Margetty who didn't care about a little bit of flight?

Defensive maniac, Li Ao fought and retreated, defending Houston, Li Ao took the initiative to press!

Houston retreated continuously to avoid Li Ao's defense, and the madman ran over to answer the ...... It's late, Li Ao seized the opportunity to stretch out his long arm and steal!

Li Ao rushed out and pushed forward to counterattack!

The fans at the scene are boiling again!

Houston pressed up and counter-robbed, and the madman also went up.

Li Ao did not panic, made full use of his size advantage, blocked the madman with his arms, and pushed his butt against Houston, and advanced to the middle line in a daze.

The fans at the scene looked at Li Ao's handsome face and ugly propulsion action...... Forget it, rejoice!

When it came to the halfway line, Li Ao grabbed the ball, avoided the steal that Houston came around, and played the ball......

Margeti leaned on Charlie Ward, who was chasing the defense, received the ball in one step inside the three-point line, took advantage of the situation to shake off the opponent in two big strides in a row, jumped up and down the free throw line, and scored two points with a gliding split!

7-7, the Clippers tied the score!

The fans are back in the air!

Jeff Van Gundy called a timeout and went into an official timeout.

With the Clippers back on the bench, Gentry was bleeding from his heart and continued to make tactical adjustments that went against his dreams, following the adjustments he learned from Larry Brown early in his assistant coaching career, emphasizing that he couldn't let up just because he was on the score.

Coming back from the official timeout, the Knicks fielded a combination of Chris Childs, Houston, Sprewell, Kurt Thomas, and Camby.

The Clippers fielded a combination of McGinnis, Big Q, Ao Lee, Odom, and O'Neal Jr.

As Gentry expected, after returning from the timeout, the Knicks started playing again!

With such a low-scoring style of play, the Knicks have a lot of experience!

Jeff Van Gundy's adjustment is very simple - Houston speeds up the run, gets to the right shooting position, receives the ball and is not immediately stuck to have a jump opportunity, as long as the height and arm span do not suffer a big loss, throw it against the defense!

Houston's shooting style has plummeted in efficiency.

However, it is better to fall sharply than to strike iron with the whole team.

Houston's mid-range shooting ability ensures that no matter how bad his chances are, as long as he succeeds in shooting, he can ensure a certain scoring efficiency.

In addition, the Knicks also replaced Big Mom with Kurt Thomas, a 95-class power forward with a solid mid-range shooting, to create a better running environment for Houston.

Offensively, Big Mom is no longer as effective as his substitute Dirty Cotter.

When Aunt first entered the NBA, she was called 'Barkley's successor', but then no one called it, because he was too far away from Barkley, Barkley's mid-range shooting was accurate, and Auntie was 30 years old last season with only 26% shooting rate, and he was directly released when he left the three-second zone, he was not inaccurate, but he didn't dare to shoot, and this season so far has only averaged 1.6 shots per game outside the close range.

The offensive end has improved, and the Knicks' defensive performance has not declined.

The Clippers learned from the Lakers to defend Li Ao like the infinite change of defense Houston, and the Knicks learned from the Clippers to change the defense of Li Ao like the Clippers changed Houston infinitely, and the defensive intensity of the Knicks group is much stronger than that of the Lakers' outside veterans.

Missing the strongest aunt in the team's low-post one-on-one defense, it didn't affect their basket defense, I tried it in the first half of the quarter, O'Neal Jr. played Camby in the low post and couldn't move, it can be seen that O'Neal Jr. has a lot of offensive talent, but now he is still a weak chicken in the same year's list, and he is weak in defense and attack.

The Clippers had to score only Odom and McGinnis at this point.

McGinnis's brainless breakthrough pull-up jump shot, featuring a fearless, was used at this time, although he came up with 3 irons in a row, but he was able to shoot it.

Li Ao's offensive side suffered a tragic Waterloo, but he killed all sides in terms of spraying.

The confrontation became more and more intense, and the players of the two teams began to curse and swear in their mouths in addition to their body movements getting bigger and bigger.

opened up a new track for Li Ao, in terms of being able to spray, none of the people present were his opponents!

The same goes for dirty words, the aunts and sisters in the alleys quarrel all afternoon over trivial things, and they are exposed to it.

In addition to the quarrel, he did not forget to adjust his playing style.

Since the opponent's defense is so tight, there is no chance except for catching and shooting, and his running position begins to open up space for McGinnis to break through, create rushing opportunities for Odom, put his energy into the defensive end, and look for counterattack opportunities.

At the same time, he is also looking for ways to help his teammates on the defensive end.

At the end of the first quarter, the Knicks attacked.

The teammates obeyed Li Ao's command, leaving only the meat shield Chris Mime who came off the bench under the basket, and everyone else expanded out to defend the mid-range shot.

Knicks backup center Luke Longley pulled out to block his teammates on the wing, but he didn't finish blocking, and seeing Chris Meme make a defensive move, Luke Longley immediately turned around and ran back into the interior.

Seeing that he finally had an easy chance to score, the madman immediately played the ball, and Luke Longley received the ball and stepped into the three-second zone, jumped to the basket ...... "snapped...... Spider-Man's cover, albeit late, arrives!

In the next round, Childs was also tragically retracted by Li Ao, who did not speak of martial arts.

Li Ao twice 'bullied the opponent's old powerlessness', curbing the opponent's easy scoring opportunities, so that teammates can more confidently expand out to prevent blocking and dismantling, and make up defense.

Want to score inside? Let your star chisel a 213 cm + 120 kg white meat shield center!

At the end of the first quarter, despite the miserable performance on the offensive end, scoring only 6 points in the second half of the quarter, the Clippers also defended the opponent to only 9 points in the first half of the quarter.

13-16, the Clippers bite the score!
