There is also a place where Li Ao feels weird.

Every time he completes a counterattack, Carter always wants to fight back directly regardless of it, but their Clippers shot accurately tonight, with the team shooting 45 of 81, with a shooting rate of 55.6%, and the Raptors counterattack had a bad chance, Carter counterattacked and attacked more iron, just the conventional play, not so much iron.

The four quarterbacks have already met, and Li Ao is looking forward to playing against Iverson, that's youth......

After four days and three games, the Clippers got two days off, with No. 6 having a day off, and No. 7 leaving Los Angeles to start another back-to-back home and away home.

On the 8th, the Clippers challenged the Suns away.

In the first quarter, the Clippers defended very well, seeing that the Suns missed three points on the periphery, the Clippers contracted decisively, the Suns made 4 of 4 in the first quarter, Li Ao took the opportunity to shrink wildly, gave Kidd and Marion a big hat each, and also took a chance for Chacharidis to catch the ball and eat cake and make a layup, 1 steal and 2 blocks in a single quarter, leading the team to prevent the Suns from scoring only 17 points, and the Clippers led the Suns by 4 points 21-17 in the first quarter.

However, it was also the only quarter in which the Clippers played an advantage.

The score was 23-23 in the second quarter, 21-25 in the third quarter and 20-25 in the final quarter.

In the first half, the Clippers could still rely on defense to persevere, but in the second half, they couldn't bear it, 85-90, the Clippers lost away, and the winning rate fell back to 50%.

Kidd, who finished out Spider-Man and scored 2 points, 12 rebounds, 11 assists and 6 steals tonight, showed a smug smile.

What's wrong with 1 of 7 shots, counterattacking and wanting to dunk was chased by Spider-Man, what's wrong with him, he won! Sun-based emperor, infinitely rampant!

Li Ao shot 8-of-19 tonight, including 3-of-8 three-pointers, plus 5-of-7 free throws, and scored 24 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 5 blocks.

Seeing that he was shooting 42% again, he turned on the system and looked at the three-point shooting that improved to 74 and 88 mid-range shots, and felt lonely.

But Gentry is very satisfied, and by the middle of the season, this kind of defensive battle can still maintain a shooting rate comparable to that of the early part of the season, which is definitely an improvement.

It's not the offensive era of the '80s, it's the era when all teams are indecisive and defensive, and it's the Suns this night.

In January and February of his rookie season, Iverson shot below 40 percent for two consecutive months, and also set an embarrassing record - an embarrassing record of shooting more than 15 times in five consecutive games and shooting less than 30 percent.

After playing the Suns, the Clippers returned to Los Angeles early the next morning and faced the Pacers back-to-back in the evening.

Li Ao felt that they and back-to-back were not incompatible, last time back-to-back, Odom was injured, this time back-to-back Margety's ankle was injured, and there was one less person.

Fortunately, Margeti is not an indispensable player for them now, he still has to practice for two years, Magetti can't play, and they still have the replacement of Teylon Nesby in the class of 98, and they are not short of 70+ rated players.

In fact, at the moment, Teylon-Nesbi is stronger than Margeti, mainly because of his all-round ability.

Nesby, who was a sophomore last season, averaged 13 points per game, was physically fit, had some ball-handling ability, and had a three-point hand.

But Margeti has a top-notch ability – a crushing break into the frame.

Margeti could open up the situation at a certain moment, but Nesby couldn't.

Of course, the most important thing is the talent gap between the two, Nesby entered the NBA, it was already the current level, there has been no improvement in two years, and the talent has come to an end.

And Margeti's talent is visible to all.

Tonight, Li Ao shot 10 of 22, including 0 of 4 three-pointers, plus 4 of 4 free throws, and got 24 points, 3 boards, 5 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.

In addition to the three-point line, Li Ao's offensive performance tonight was quite good, and he limited the play of Reggie Miller, who only scored 8 points on 3-of-9 shooting tonight.

But Reggie Miller is no longer the Pacers' top scorer this year, and Li Ao's restrictions on him allow teammates not to worry about the Pacers' perimeter shots, but the Pacers also have Jalen Rose, who averaged 20+5+5 per game this season, and Al Harrington, who averaged 15 points, 7 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game.

Unable to bring in O'Neal Jr., Larry Bird opted to tap into the team's potential, and Al Harrington, a talented high school player in the '98 first-round final, was reused.

This jack-of-all-trades takes off when given the opportunity.

Jalen Rose had 24 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists tonight, Al Harrington had 14 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, and Travis Best off the bench had 20 points against McGinnis and Austin Crohill had 16 points.

Although Li Ao scored 24 points, McGinnis scored 17 points and 5 assists, O'Neal Jr. scored 13 points and 15 boards, and Big Q scored 14 points, the Clippers still lost to the Pacers 87-92 and suffered their 18th loss of the season.

On the 11th, the Clippers host the Nuggets.

Li Ao soared tonight, scoring 28 points in the first three quarters against James Posey's defense.

James Posey was shot, which affected the overall defense of the Nuggets, and the Nuggets still held on in the first three quarters, just not pinching Li Ao, trying to maintain the team's defensive effect.

Indeed, the Nuggets team did a good job defensively, Li Ao scored 28 points alone in the first three quarters, and the Clippers only scored 63 points as a team.

But the Nuggets couldn't attack on their own tonight, the Clippers scored 23 points, 17 points, and 23 points in the first three quarters, respectively, and the Nuggets only scored 20 points, 18 points, and 20 points in the first three quarters.

In the final quarter, the Nuggets began to focus on blocking Li Ao and not giving him a chance to shoot, Li Ao took the opportunity to send 3 assists and many indirect assists in a single quarter, and the Clippers scored 29 points in a single quarter.

What the Nuggets regretted was that they felt better in the final quarter, scoring 28 points in a single quarter.

And these 28 points, not a single counterattack score, that is, Van Exel's 11 points in a single quarter and Antonio McDèce's 10 points in a single quarter, the two relied on their individual ability to lead the team.

The judgement of the coach is also part of the strength of the team.

Li Ao made 12 of 23 shots, including 2 of 4 three-pointers, plus 7 of 7 free throws, and scored 33 points, 4 boards, 8 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.

Plus McGinnis's 12 points and 5 assists, O'Neal Jr.'s 14 points and 10 boards, Big Q's 14 points and 2 boards, and Greg Anthony's 12 points...... He beat Van Exel, who scored 29 points, and McDyes, who had 27 points and 14 boards.

The Clippers narrowly beat the Nuggets 92-86!

…

The morning after playing the Nuggets, Li Ao woke up at 6 o'clock.

Looking at the familiar ceiling, looking at the bedside table and the calendar that Aunt Auntie filled out the schedule, he was very painful.

He relied on it for a long time, but he was still driven back to the small suite.

But whether to say it or not, I didn't see a familiar figure when I woke up in the morning, but I looked forward to the next meeting, even though it was on the same floor.

Next, he was going to start a wave of 4 consecutive visitors, and he muttered a sentence "It's really a miserable month for the weak team".

But although there is an away game tomorrow, you don't have to leave Los Angeles today.

After getting up and going to the next door for half an hour, Li Ao returned to the small suite to take a shower, and at 7 o'clock, the property brother delivered the newspaper to Li Ao's door.

Li Ao took the newspaper back to the house, and looked at the newspaper piled up at the door, only then did he remember that he hadn't read the news for a long time after Christmas.

Every day, the property brother puts the newspaper at the door of his house, and when he comes back, he sees it and throws it in the house, and the aunt likes to get information from TV news and the Internet, but does not read the newspaper...... Knock!

The money for the newspaper subscription was spent in vain!

But now my daily schedule is full, compared to last year's NCAA when I was playing in the NCAA, classes, training, games, and cooking for the aunt in the hospital, and I really can't care about watching the news.

Flip through a newspaper and find the sports section, the NFL dominates the charts......

However, there is still a basketball column.

Top Stories......

"Spider-Man continues madness, and the Clippers return to a 50% win rate"

What's that?

He quickly read the small news headlines, and his expression became strange.

Entering the middle of the season, they have a 3-6 record and a poor record.

Although he has a good mentality, he is positive on the court, no matter how big the disadvantage, as long as he is on the field, he will do his best to win.

But after the final whistle, he will still feel bad and will still have negative emotions when he sees the brutal score.

This is the real reason why he still wants to practice on the day of the game, he doesn't want to worry about the evening game, it's useless to worry, and the negative emotions of losing have also been transferred to training.

And he remembered that a while ago, when he watched Aunt Hospital's assistant watching the news on the Internet, he saw Aunt Hospital's expression was not angry, he leaned up to take a look, and the media was stepping on him and praising McGinnis.

Now what's going on?

He flipped through several other different newspapers, and the content was similar, all touting him for leading the team back to a 50% win rate and 9 consecutive games of 20+.

He also compared Carter, Francis, and Brand to him, and all said that his rookie season was much better than these guys.

In that wording, he felt that if it weren't for the performance of Duncan's rookie season in the class of '97, he would have to pull out and step on it.

He looked at the rest of the news and suddenly understood something.

Then I flipped through all the newspapers of the previous days.

Really......

Recently, during the NFL playoffs, North American sports fans' enthusiasm for basketball has declined, and the sports pages of major newspapers and magazines have been dominated by the NFL.

But the basketball media also has to eat, and it has to find hot topics to report.

I just haven't had any hot news lately.

Iverson was injured, Kobe Bryant was injured, and O'Neal was injured the other day.

The Kings have been in a slump lately, and the average performance of the Kings has been lackluster in the middle of the season when they are going to play hard, as in last season's playoffs. The Trail Blazers, on their side, are not invited to be seen by the media; The Raptors have an average record, Carter doesn't dunk much, and he has dunked a total of 20 times so far this season, and there are no explosions recently......

The Magic sang all the way, surpassing the Lakers to the top of the league.

But Duncan doesn't have any personal news, it's all team-related, and it's hard for team-related news to grab attention from the NFL playoffs.

Li Ao flipped to a few days ago, and since the start of the Hornets, the direction of media coverage has begun to change.

On the second day after their last few games, they have been touting his individual performances, and if they win, they will boast about his ability to lead the team.

He looked at it on the Internet, not only in the newspapers, but also on the Internet where he has been touted lately.

The news in the newspaper is fixed, and what is printed is what it is, but the topic on the Internet is extensive.

The hottest topic he sees in the NBA right now is predicting whether he will be able to score 20+ in tomorrow's game against the Lakers, taking his streak of 20+ games to 10.

That would make him the fourth active player to reach 10 consecutive 20+ rookie seasons.

The other three are Iverson who has 11 consecutive games and Duncan who has 13 consecutive games...... and Glenn Robinson, who has 13 games in a row.

Neither Admiral, Malone, nor O'Neal played like this in their rookie season.

And those 3 people, without exception, all played more than a dozen consecutive 20+ performances in the final game of the regular season, so the media did not dare to take Iverson and Duncan out in the newspapers.

But according to the news on the Internet, Li Ao has 20+ games in 9 consecutive games in the middle of the season, and he has stepped on the two who can only soar at the end of the season.

Of course he was happy to be praised, but after a while of watching the news, he closed the web page.

was touted, he won't float because of this, no matter how hard he blows, can he be as ruthless as the crazy three and ultimate semi-finals 9 months ago?

At that time, the NFL season was over, the NBA had to make way for the NCAA Basketball Tournament finals, and sports fans all over North America were paying attention to him, and he was a far cry from then.

The main thing is that he has a feeling of being used as a tool.

If there is other topics to hype, just hack him, and now there is no other hot news, just use him to attract traffic.

Turning off the computer, he went to Aunt Assistant's house to make breakfast, and when it was almost ready, Aunt Assistant's head stuck out from the kitchen door again......||ω)

When the time came to noon, in the morning he was still slandering the media for rubbing his traffic and not giving him money.

At this time, Li Ao said - rub! Rub though! I'm strong enough! It's not that easy to fall!

On January 12, 2001, the NBA officially released the data for the first phase of the All-Star starting voting.

Carter, who won the battle in last year's slam dunk contest, temporarily ranked the top vote with 720,000 votes, and naturally won the first vote in the Eastern Forward.

The Eastern Conference forward received the second most votes, Duncan with 460,000 votes, beating Superstar Hill, who did not play a game this season but still received 420,000 votes.

In the Eastern backcourt, Iverson ranked first with 580,000 votes, Maddy second with 410,000 votes, followed by Tim Hardaway, Marbury, Reggie Miller, Ray Allen, Stackhouse, Eddie Jones......

The center of the East, another player who did not play a game, Mourning beat Ratliff with 550,000 votes to 390,000 votes.

In the west, the center, O'Neal got 600,000 votes and ranked first and second...... Jermaine O'Neal of the Clippers, 470,000 votes.

Guard, Kobe Bryant ranked first with 530,000 votes, followed by Kidd's 440,000 votes and White Chocolate Jason Williams with 370,000 votes.

Forward, Webb second, got 490,000 votes, first ......

Li Ao temporarily ranked as the king of Western votes with 700,000 votes, second only to Vince Carter!
