Li Ao's side, I thought that I hadn't seen my family for a long time, and there would be something that moved the world, but no, it was very ordinary, my mother asked for warmth, and my father seriously urged a few words, since I chose to play basketball as my job, I must work hard.

It feels good, too.

For Li Ao's private life, his parents did not interfere.

Zhou Limei and Li Weidong know very well that when their children grow up, they will always build their own families, and they will be ready to play the role of the last safe haven.

However, the child Taixiong should fight as soon as possible, which has been well proven in Li Ao's house.

When he saw his father, he looked like he was cowardly.

As soon as he crossed over, he lay on the hospital bed, and when he was discharged, he was chased and beaten nine streets, and the memory of his predecessor, his father, who was a soldier, has always been very strict, and he began to take him to military training every summer since elementary school.

As the small owner of the Clippers, Vivian called to inquire about the time to return to Los Angeles today, and the three waited for Li Ao to come back for lunch.

After lunch, Li Ao ran to the Memorial Stadium for training as if fleeing for his life, Vivian saw that Li Ao saw that his father was like a mouse meeting a cat, she tried very hard to restrain herself, but she still couldn't hold back her laughter.

It turns out that her family Leo still has such a side.

Li Ao, who fled to the Memorial Stadium, was in a good mood.

This year, his parents brought a lot of authentic New Year goods, and he didn't have to worry about the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, he went to travel and go shopping, and he didn't have to worry about it.

After an afternoon of training, he turned with the ball on his back, turned around and retreated with his back, and turned around and rushed forward with his back.

At 4 o'clock in the evening, when the training is over, the system prompt comes!

"Congratulations to the host, the basic skill of the high back body has been improved to 60, reaching the qualified level."

"Congratulations to the host, the high back body singles technique has been improved to 64."

"The host has successfully developed the first offensive technique with the ball, and congratulations to the host for stepping on the threshold of becoming a good star."

Li Ao jumped up excitedly.

A month, a whole month, and finally got this damn back foundation trained!

Still not rated as an excellent star in the 80s...... Is it because the back hit has just passed, and it's not good enough?

Then practice well!

However, seeing that the back technique is better than the basic skills, this Li Ao is quite painful.

Mid-range shooting and layup are enough basic skills, and vacant shooting and empty baskets are very stable, but the related skills of mid-range shooting and layups are not enough to fully exert the basic skills.

His mid-range shooting is currently mainly based on running, catching and shooting, and he can play with the ball at the beginning.

The layup is even worse, it is the position with the most confrontation and the strongest shooting interference, especially since the league has not yet introduced regulations to limit O'Neal's defense, there are almost always people in the three-second zone, and the mid-range shot can also run to catch the ball, and the basket is just such a fixed area.

This is actually a normal situation, generally practice the basic skills first, and then develop the technology, no matter how good the technology is, it is useless if you can't invest it.

The situation on the back side is reversed by two levels.

The technique should reach the passing level earlier, because some of the supporting basic skills and techniques of his back play are already very good, such as turning, retreating, emergency stopping, traversing, etc.

James Worthy also attaches great importance to this when he teaches, and teaches him how to connect the foundation of the back body with these early, as a Hall of Fame-level celebrity, James Worthy also has a wealth of practical experience, and has taught him a lot of small details of the connection of back body skills......

To put it simply, James Worthy taught the application of the back, that is, the technique, directly with his basketball ability.

Although the teaching plan is constantly adjusted, in general, it is still from easy to difficult, step by step, and gradually polished.

A combination of factors has led to the current situation.

But this is not a big deal, as time goes by, the gap will get smaller and smaller, just like hooking, his current hook basic skills are 68, hook skills are 69, basically no worse.

After finishing his personal training, Li Ao came to the blacksmith's room.

Very tacitly, Kobe Bryant also came here to train today.

Over the next few days, the Lakers and Clippers both had a wave of back-to-back home games, and the Staples Center was to host a Grammy in mid-February.

In today's sparring practice, Kobe Bryant first singled 3 sets, and all shots were concentrated in the area of one step left and right of the free throw line and one step inside and outside.

He's been strengthening his singles in this region lately, a few days ago when they lost 89-90 to the Suns on the road.

He singled Marion's stunner on the right side of the free-throw line to dream of a rookie year playoffs.

That night, he shot 7-of-15, and before the final shot, he had a 50 percent shooting percentage, which looked pretty good.

But he couldn't help it, he was limited by Marion, who was in astonishing defensive form that night, and couldn't make a shot!

The Suns have a tower under the basket, and Clifford Robinson and Kidd seamlessly switch between the top arc and the wing to help defend the defense, and he is the only position where he can play well alone.

In the playoffs last season, facing rookie Marion, Kobe Bryant could easily average 21 points per game with a high shooting percentage.

But this season has played 3 times, and his shooting percentage in the first two encounters was lower than the season average, and a few days ago he changed his style of play to be reasonable, but he was unable to defend by Marion!

He understood Li Ao's feelings......

Although Marion is only in the second grade now, his offense is immature, and he almost relies on the outside to feed the cake to score, and he only has the advantage of being tough in the offensive frame, but he has made great progress on the defensive end, his skills are maturing quickly, his running and jumping ability is top, and his height and arm span are about to catch up with Li Ao.

With the possibility of playing the Suns again in the playoffs, Bryant has a sense of crisis.

If there is no chance to shoot in a reasonable play, then hard steel!

Hard steel needs strength, so practice.

In the middle of the season, although the Lakers' opponents were mostly strong teams, the schedule was far less dense than that of the Clippers, with 14 games in 31 days in a single month, a full three fewer than the Clippers.

There is time to train.

Moreover, he has a perfect sparring partner!

Single defense, Li Ao is stronger than Marion, Marion's skills are also first-class, his body condition is good, and he has several teammates with strong defense, which can limit him.

Li Ao's personal defensive skills are top-notch, and although his dynamic ability is not as good as Marion's, his static conditions are better, and any player in the middle and long distance singles will be stunned.

Kobe Bryant thought of the first three quarters of the last game with the Clippers, although he scored 26 points in the first three quarters, he made 24 shots, 9 of 24 shots, all of which were not lower than the season average shooting percentage, but shot poorly, thanks to the fat man standing on the sideline of the three-second zone to contain the opposing center's defense, he was able to burst into close range and score under the basket.

He scored 11 points in the second half of the final quarter, and thanks to the absence of a defender at the far end of the opposing team, he was able to score two consecutive break-through step-back three-pointers.

With everyone in Los Angeles lately, Bryant is ready to strengthen this aspect.

However, after practicing 3 sets, Kobe Bryant had some scalp tingling.

30 shots, 7 in, throw a hammer!

He shot at a fixed distance, and after the big spider noticed that he would not break through and retreat, he stared here, he hit the iron 17 times, was tackled twice, and was capped 4 times!

What annoyed him the most was that he was iron once, and the big spider cheered once.

When it was time to drink his saliva, Kobe Bryant asked, "Leo, you said I was going to shoot in that area just now, how can I better avoid your shooting interference?" ”

Li Ao, who was drinking water, sprayed Kobe Bryant in the face with a 'poof': "Ahem, cough, I'm the one defending you, ask me this?" ”

Seeing Kobe Bryant taking a sip of the cup with an expressionless face, his mouth bulging, and the explosive head dripping...... "Ahem, it's very simple, leaning back, suddenly stepping back further, it's hard for me to prevent it."

But if it's a game, it's also very difficult, if you break into close range and then retreat, the wing players are unconscious and slow, they can make up for it. ”

Kobe spit the water in his mouth back into the cup, and he was satisfied with the answer, so he didn't spray Spider-Man in the face.

Kobe Bryant went to the side and picked up a towel to wipe the water on the blast's head, returned to the court, asked the trainer for the ball, and said to Li Ao: "Next you attack." ”

"I'm attacking?"

"Aren't you developing back-hitting? I'll help you. ”

“……”

Li Ao looked at the explosion head without any expression, feeling that this high school student had a conspiracy!

At this time, the system prompt is coming!

"Excellent sparring partner:

Sparring Partner: Kobe Bryant.

Level Determination: 5 Stars (Full).

Sparring content: one-on-one back-to-back singles attack.

Sparring reward: 50 achievement points will be awarded every time you hit a mid-range shot under Kobe Bryant's defense, and 20 achievement points will be deducted for each missed shot, and the accumulated points will be positive at the final settlement, and you will be rewarded, which is negative or 0, and this sparring failed.

Because the host is a 5-star player sparring partner, there is a chance to gain additional insight, and after judgment, the direction of perception: pressure defense understanding. ”

It's a good thing to have a big guy as a sparring partner!

Just take the hardest path!

…

Soon, Li Ao knew that this explosive head was taking revenge for the front 30 and 23 irons!

10 back-to-back mid-range shots, 1 goal scored, 3 disconnected.

The explosion head has to be defended harder, and the action is rougher than playing an official game.

However, Li Ao is also very axial in this kind of thing, so he stumbled with Kobe Bryant in the middle distance, and practiced two more sets.

When it was time for Kobe Bryant to attack, Li Ao also turned on the retaliation mode.

So, this evening's blacksmith's room was "clang" throughout the whole process......

Today's sparring ended earlier than usual.

Li Ao couldn't hold it anymore.

One-on-one attacks are really tiring!

Moreover, in the sparring on the offensive end, he didn't get 1 achievement point, but fortunately, the sparring partner did not deduct achievement points.

However, on the defensive end, he got more achievement points than usual.

After entering the NBA, he lost a lot of balls and obtained achievement points unstable, so he relied on the experience of the explosive head to support him, so as to maintain the consumption of usual training and physical therapy.

In addition, he gained a sense of pressure and defense, and his back play was really honed, and he knew that his back play was all flaws in the eyes of the defenders.

After the sparring session, Li Ao invited Kobe to his new home to spend Chinese New Year's Eve together, and Kobe Bryant agreed, saying that he would take Vanessa to the banquet on time.

On the second rest day, the Clippers had a preparation drill.

Li Ao ushered in another good news - Odom is back from injury!

Li Ao learned from the team doctor that Odom was not idle during this time, except for the first week of recuperation, he was following the trainer to strengthen his physical strength, of course, resting mostly.

Odom is back, the team has a new man on the front, and the Clippers have a lot of training today, and their offensive and defensive tactics have begun to be officially adjusted.

With Odom, the tactics must return to the dual core of the left devil and Spider-Man, during Odom's absence, Li Ao's assists are mostly 3-4, he is not in a hurry, Gentry is in a hurry.

Brevine Knight's excellent tandem offensive performance against opponents with weak forward defense has to be incorporated into the team's system.

On the defensive end, with the defensive combination of Li Ao and Matt Harprin, a lot of changes need to be made, but fortunately, the compatibility between the two is very good, which is relatively easy, mainly because the teammates' habits of cooperating with the defense need to be adjusted.

As a team that has risen from the belly of the fish, the Clippers have been adjusting almost all the time this year, but Gentry is happy, committed, needs to adjust and can be adjusted, which means they have always had room for improvement!

After a day of training, Odom regretted his comeback, and it was better to be injured for a while.

Now he feels that Spider-Man is really gentle, except for the shortcoming of a broken mouth, he is kind and generous...... The advantages are numerous.

But the newcomer, Matt Harpling, is too cold to be had!

That tendon was so frightening to the overthinking Odom that the new teammate gave him a fluttering glance when he slacked off in training, and he was forced to focus more on defensive training.

Offense and defense are watched, and there is no way to live this day!

…

After a two-day rest day, the Clippers host a game against the SuperSonics.

The game was quite long, reaching overtime!

Odom has just returned, is in good shape, and has been training, but the defensive end can't keep up with the rhythm, not as good as Shaun Lukes.

Originally, the defensive habits were not good, but it was finally tightened, and he was out for more than three weeks due to injury, and now he has just returned, and those old problems from last year have been committed again.

However, Odom's return has a huge boost to the Clippers' offense!

Finally have a reliable ball-holding core!

After not playing for so long, Odom was also particularly involved on the offensive end, playing 39 minutes in regular time and scoring 18 points, 6 rebounds and 10 assists, driving Li Ao to also get 7 assists.

In regular time, the Clippers relied on explosive offense to score 111-111 with the SuperSonics who were full of pitchers!

When it came to overtime, the Clippers were lucky, and the opponent's outside felt cool!

Gentry made a timely substitution and sent a combination of Big Q, Li Ao, Matt Harplin, Odom, and O'Neal Jr. to defend stubbornly.

Odom did a sparse job of supplementing the perimeter, it doesn't matter, the others shrink to protect the basket!

At 10:37 p.m., Matt Hardlin switched to Payton and pressed aggressively, and when Payton turned around to pass Matt Halprin, he turned around and met Spider-Man, and the ball that bounced up was taken off!

In the last 9 seconds, the Clippers relied on defense to score 8-6 in overtime, Payton's key ball attack was broken, and he could only immediately foul and send Li Ao to the free throw line, and he committed 6 fouls!

Payton was sent off, and Li Ao hit both free throws, killing the opponent's last hope.

Li Ao 22 points, 4 boards, 7 assists, 2 steals and 4 blocks, Odom 18 points, 7 boards and 11 assists, O'Neal Jr. 15 points, Matt Harprin 11 points, Big Q 10 points, Greg Anthony 11 points and 4 assists...... The Clippers scored 6 double-doubles to beat the SuperSonics! Improved the record to 21-21 and returned to a 50% win rate!
