In the decade since leaving the Lakers, Pat Riley has been a testament to his strength — I didn't do anything wrong, but I was the one who lost the most.

He made the right choice when he picked the team, and in '90 and '91 the Knicks had 45 wins and 39 wins, both of which were about to make the playoffs, and he joined in the summer of '91 to bring the right system to Ewing in his prime, and two years later in the '93-94 season, the Knicks set a record that was considered horrific at the time - conceding 91.4 points per game.

Until then, a team averaging less than 100 points per game was a bad offense, with at least half of the teams conceding more than 100 points per game each year.

The turning point came in 1988, when the league introduced the 'Anti-Isolation Rule' and at the same time, narrowed the scope of penalties for 'early flanking violations'.

This clause states that there are two situations in which you can be whistled for losing possession of the ball.

Players from one team cannot stand in a 1-4 ratio at the free throw line and inside and outside the extension line; On either side of the three-second zone, players from one team can't stand in a 1-4 ratio.

Because NBA regulations do not allow players without the ball to be pinched, at most they can only 'move in advance', just like O'Neal Jr. was hammered so badly by Duncan and O'Neal, Li Ao or Odom can only approach in advance, and wait until Duncan or O'Neal receives the ball before they can pinch it.

Jordan's performance in the 1987-1988 season was outrageous, averaging 35 points per game on 53.5 percent shooting, a big step up from the previous season's 48 percent shooting with 37.1 points.

He shot only 13.2 percent from three-point range that season, and only shot more than 40 three-pointers in a season.

Before the anti-isolation rule appeared, Jordan first stood at the top arc, and his teammates dribbled the ball on both sidelines and passed the ball to him, and he broke through, and the opponent was too late to pinch it.

The effect of this rule was obvious, and Jordan's scoring was significantly limited in the '88-89 season, falling to an average of 32.5 points per game, forcing Jordan to develop a decent three-point shot in the summer of '89, and Jordan would throw two or three open three-pointers per game in the '90s.

In the eyes of others, this rule is only aimed at Jordan, such as the Pistons, who rely on this rule to prolong the 'bullying' of Jordan.

But in Pat Riley's eyes, it's a sign of a new era.

Originally, he wanted to exchange Magic for Jordan, the best defensive player, to be the core of the outside defense, and add AC Green, Michael Thompson, James Worthy and others to create the most terrifying defensive powerhouse...... In the end, he was fired.

After going to the Knicks, he successfully verified his vision, and he chose the right way to build the team, building the Knicks into the top team, all the way to the Finals...... Then lost to Olajuwon.

It is not a crime of war, only to blame the enemy for being too strong.

Later, he came to the Heat, and he once again made the Heat a top powerhouse, but he was first hammered by Jordan, and then found that the Knicks team he built was just enough to restrain him, and finally won the first place in the East and was defeated by his old club.

Now, he finally persuaded his boss to spend money to recruit troops, and the reinforcements seem to be very correct at present, all of them are suitable for iron-blooded warfare, and it should be a brilliant year...... As a result, Mournin's hereditary kidney failure erupted, accompanied by potentially fatal nephritis.

Now, Pat Riley is bleeding as he looks at his team's 15-9 record.

Without Mourning, they would have been able to get this record.

But without Mourning, this record is useless?

It's a playoff spoiler.

Pat Riley looked at Li Ao who was looking at Brian Grant across the street.

What does this rookie mean?

Is it mocking him for giving a garbage contract?

Originally, he was quite optimistic about Li Ao, and he applauded the 'One Dozen Seven Incident'.

However, last night he saw the news that Li Ao broke Jordan's ribs.

Regardless of the facts, he has been looking for various ways to divert his emotions this year, and I believe that this is the case.

This rookie broke the ribs of his dream lover!

Now the rookie is also taunting him for signing Brian Grant for a price he could have paid to sign T-Mac.

Unforgivable!

Adjust your tactics for Spider-Man!

…

The host breaks the ribs of the basketball god and taunts Pat Riley with his eyes, causing Pat Riley to be strongly hostile...... Mission: Divine Operator's gaze trigger. ”

"The gaze of the divine operator:

Goal 1: The host must score above 20 tonight.

Reward: 1 Level 2 Skill Upgrade Card.

Goal 2: The host needs to lead the team to defeat the Heat.

Reward: 1 basic attribute point. ”

Li Ao: [_?]

What did he do?

Why was he targeted by the god operator?

The last game was targeted by Duncan and took two big hats, but there was a reason for it, he made a wig set that made Duncan envious and jealous.

This time, it's called 'the plague of no reason'!

Forget it, that's it, there's no way to be handsome, it's easy to be jealous.

He revisited the mission, and given the Heat's style of play, it was easy to guess how the opponent would target him.

Calling his teammates together, Li Ao said: "The opposite side will definitely focus on defending me tonight, you seize the opportunity to score." ”

Gentry, who gathered among the onlookers in the team, asked, "Why did you make such a judgment?" ”

"Pat Riley thinks I broke Jordan's ribs."

Teammates and onlookers Gentry turned their heads to look at the bench opposite, where the Heat players were surrounding the god operator, who spat on the ......

Spider-Man's guess makes a lot of sense!

Pat Riley's team played Jordan in the playoffs three times, and all three times they were bloodied, and they were subdued, becoming the number one 'god blow'.

For the past two years, he has been calling for the league-wide No. 23 to retire, but no one has paid attention to him.

At 7:28, the two teams started on the field.

The Heat fielded a starting lineup of Tim Hardaway, Eddie Jones, Bruce Bowen, Anthony Mason Jr., Brian Grant.

On the Clippers' side, the big Q suddenly went away, and Gentry submitted a new starting list to the technical desk, and Margetty replaced the big Q and started with Greg Anthony, Li Ao, Odom, and O'Neal Jr.

Two minutes later, the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game and threw the ball into the air.

O'Neal Jr. beat Brian Grant to win the jump ball, Li Ao turned around and rushed to the opposite side by elbowing Bowen who was sticking to him, and was blocked at the three-point line by the expanded Anthony Mason Jr., Bowen turned and 'switched' Odom, who had just run out of the three-point line opposite.

On the other side, Margeti went straight to the basket, ran past Tim Hardaway who was on the patch, received a long pass from Odom, flew and smashed the ball into the basket.

This fast attack...... The Heat players had a feeling that they had been prejudged by the opposing team.

Just when the head coach was arranging tactics, someone on the other side ran over and eavesdropped?

It must be so, it's despicable!

Switching offense and defense, Tim Hardaway saw Eddie Jones start to run, and he started to play singles as well.

Tim Hardaway is the strongest player in the active singles three-pointer, and he tricked Greg Anthony into pressing it with a feint to close the ball.

The ball is like a part of Tim Hardaway's body, he flicks the ball with his fingers, retracts it to a horizontal pull, moves nimbly to avoid Greg Anthony, and accelerates to the three-point line!

The 34-year-old king of crossover, the speed is still top!

Tim Hardaway bursts inside...... Embarrassed.

No one shrinks to defend him!

O'Neill Jr. only took a step up and stepped on the arc of the reasonable collision zone.

Tim Hardaway missed the shot, stepped back and was stuck to Greg Anthony as he caught up.

He's looking for a teammate to pick up, but what about Jones?

At this moment, Eddie Jones is standing on the left bottom line panting, Li Ao is standing between him and Tim Hardaway, not to mention that Tim Hardaway can't see him, he can't see Tim Hardaway, the whole is covered.

He had just run a full sprint lap and had not been able to get rid of the big spider on the opposite side.

This rookie has no ball to chase and defend, and the awareness of standing around the front is too strong!

Tim Hardaway searched for him to no avail, but luckily Anthony Mason Jr. went around the baseline and leaned on Odom to ask for the ball, and he quickly passed it.

Anthony Mason Jr. received the ball and turned and burst inside, and threw a shot at O'Neal Jr...... Miss!

Brian Grant makes a stoppage...... As soon as he touched the ball, before the ball could be pushed out, a big slap slapped the ball down, and O'Neal Jr., who turned around, blocked Anthony Mason Jr. to hold the ball.

Seeing that his teammates were not in a good position to grab the board, Li Ao actively contracted and picked up a hat.

O'Neal Jr. passed to Margety, and the Clippers tried to get up on a fast break, but failed.

The Heat's tallest player on the court, Brian Grant, is only 206 centimeters, and the lineup is short and concise, but fast.

Falling into the positional battle, Li Ao began to run, watching the opponent's position move, he judged that the opponent should also carry out infinite defensive changes.

He took the initiative to find Margety to block and get rid of the pestering Bowen.

It was Eddie Jones who changed Li Ao, and Li Ao began to take the initiative to run for the ball, and drilled in the direction of someone.

Odom held the ball at the top of the arc and tacitly passed the ball when Li Ao ran to the right corner of the free throw line and made a sharp stop.

Li Ao received the ball and turned around, jumped, and Anthony Mason Jr. pounced on him as he expected.

Li Ao, who jumped up, passed back to Odom, who cut in from the middle after passing the ball, and Odom received the ball and stepped to the left and right in the face of Brian Grant's defense, and came to Bryan Grant's side and jumped to the basket...... Hit!

Li Ao's stats table adds an assist!

He didn't expect Odom to use European steps! What kind of technology is there that can't be used?

I really haven't seen Odom use it this season, could it be because I have learned too many skills and forgot how many skills I have?

Switching offense and defense, Tim Hardaway continued to play singles and easily passed Greg Anthony into the three-point line.

There was still no one to make up the defense, Li Ao stared at Eddie Jones, and Margety guarded Bowen on the flank.

Odom and O'Neal Jr. stay under the basket, Bryan Grant and Anthony Mason Jr. Whoever pulls away from the middle distance of the baseline, Odom goes to make up for which, both of them pull away, and directly release one.

Tim Hardaway had already anticipated this, and he burst to the free throw line to shoot a pull-up jumper...... Miss!

O'Neal Jr. jammed Brian Grant and Odom defended the defensive rebound.

Tim Hardaway turned and retreated in frustration, this goal went in, and it may affect the opponent's defense, but if it didn't score, the opponent will inevitably defend more firmly.

For the Clippers, he and his teammates were very contemptuous and didn't pay attention to it at all.

Otherwise, even if Pat Riley arranges for them to shoot a catch-and-shoot rookie, some of them will question that they don't have a shortage of top players on their team.

Although the Clippers have conceded an average of only 87 points per game in the seven games since Li Ao was released, and have made a name for themselves defensively, their record is only 3-4.

And, when it comes to defense, they don't have to be afraid of the Heat!

The Knicks' defense collapsed after firing Van Gundy Jr., and now, when it comes to defense, they are the best team in the world.

But the Clippers' defensive strategy and execution are far beyond Tim Hardaway's expectations!

Just looking at the defense, they must be better than the Clippers, much stronger.

But their offense is also poor, even worse than the Knicks.

The Clippers' defense is enough to deal with them!

Moreover, the other party seems to have predicted that they would target that Spider-Man......

Tim Hardaway was on his toes, though, but his teammates weren't.

When it came to the Clippers' offense, Li Ao slipped the baseline to receive the ball on the right side of the three-second zone, and Brian Grant moved in advance to make up for it, but Li Ao received the ball and threw it to the basket without stopping...... O'Neal Jr. pressed Anthony Mason Jr. to the basket and scored two points with both hands!

Switching offense and defense, Tim Hardaway didn't play alone, he found Brian Grant to block and dismantle, and hit a three-point shot by covering it, chasing the score to 3-6 and stopping the bleeding.

But looking back, Li Ao gave Odom a three-point assist on the wing, 9-3, and the Clippers led by 6 points again!

When it came to the Heat's offense, Tim Hardaway still wanted to do the same and come up with another three-pointer, but this time the expanded defense turned into a more impulsive Margety, and Odom obeyed Spider-Man's instructions and went to the bottom corner to guard Bowen.

Margeti blocked and switched defenses and pressed straight up, and Tim Hardaway had to burst inside and split the ball to Brian Grant, who was pulled to the left side of the three-second zone.

Brian Grant makes mid-range shot...... Iron!

After hitting the iron continuously, the rest of the Heat team finally felt that something was wrong, their mentality was affected, and some of them retreated from the mess.

Odom, who took the rebound, took the opportunity to instigate a counterattack, Margeti received the ball in the front court, divided the right side, and shot in the right side of the free throw line...... Pounced by Eddie Jones.

At the same time as the referee's whistle blows, the ball goes into the frame!

The referee signaled that Li Ao's goal was valid and he was punished!

The score was 11-3, and Li Ao started with 2 points and 3 assists!

Counting the fast-break containment in the opening game, all the Clippers' scores so far are related to him.

Moreover, there is also an additional penalty!

Amid the frantic cheers of the fans, Pat Riley called a timeout!

The god operator pinched both temples with one hand, carelessly.

Tonight, you might have to take it off!

He thinks that Mo Ning is gone, and this record is useless, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't care about the record.

After confirming that Mourning had no hope of returning to his prime, and might not even be able to play again, he thought for a few months that he had the idea of a high school genius for the next three years.

But it can't be now!

Just got a salary of 73 million US dollars this year, second only to the Knicks, and at this time, the boss will kill him.

At the very least, we have to play this season well and prove that the two seven-year, $80 million contracts he gave Brian Grant and Eddie Jones are useful.

We have to wait until the end of the season when Tim Hardaway, Anthony Mason Jr., and Dan Marley have a combined contract of more than 20 million US dollars.

The players returned to the bench and Pat Riley put away his frustration as if nothing had happened and adjusted his defense.

His godfather face played a big role at this time, and the team members saw him, and their restless mood quickly calmed down......

…

In the box on the second floor, Jordan, AJ and several heads of Nike, James Worthy, Magic and others are watching the game.

The magician heard that Jordan's ribs were broken by Li Ao, and asked James Worthy to help Li Ao train to come and see the excitement.

After entering the timeout, the magician smiled and said, "Do you still want to watch the game?" There was no suspense about the result, and the Heat lost. ”

James Worthy replied, "Not really, right? The game has just begun, and the Heat just made a stupid mistake and made a wrong pinch decision, and they will definitely be able to defend it later. ”

Jordan said: "I believe the Heat can defend well, but they can defend the Clippers offense to the same level as them at most, a 9-point difference, they can't chase it back, they don't have players like Spider-Man, Odom, and the Heat are just regular defense, none of them can defend key shots, Jones...... Mourning was reimbursed, Jones could only serve as the first scoring point in this team whose offensive tactics were not suitable for him, he invested too much on the offensive end, couldn't take care of the defense, and the defensive efficiency plummeted, but unfortunately, he defended me well once before, and I only scored 17 points. ”

James Worthy grabbed the key point and asked, "Michael, you seem to appreciate the Clippers right now. ”

Jordan pouted, noncommittal.

Magic smiled: "It seems that the Clippers are very good in these rounds, their defensive coordination around Spider-Man and Mini Shark is very good, the discipline is very strong, each player trusts each other, and has the potential to become a strong team...... And they have Spider-Man, God, Jerry was forced to submit his resignation as it should be, without Stud Spider-Man, it was our biggest mistake since we moved to Los Angeles, OK Combo plus Spider-Man, just put two pitchers on it, and we can all be stronger than we are now. ”

Jordan sneered: "What good things have to be taken up by the Lakers? You're right, the absence of Leo is the biggest mistake in your team's history, and maybe because of this, the Los Angeles basketball community will change its surname to the Clippers in the future. ”

The magician laughed and said, "Wow, Michael, I'm looking forward to what you're talking about, and I'm waiting for that day to come." ”
