Counting the preseason, the Clippers lost to the SuperSonics 4 times in a row, and finally won once, and Li Ao was happy.

However, Odom's defensive performance, which has just returned, is worrying.

But without Odom, they can't soar tonight, although the SuperSonics have declined in defensive performance due to the middle of the season, but Ewing is old and Payton is not young, and the team's defensive performance is still excellent compared to the top level in the early season.

Tonight, the Clippers didn't play the Raptors, but Odom was back, the whole team's offense was tandem, more blossoms, and the regular time and the SuperSonics pitchers were on par with each other, so that the defense won the overtime.

Since Odom had played a reasonably good defensive performance before the injury, it means that there is still salvation, so it is good to adjust slowly.

Occasionally, Li Ao thinks it's very cool, 8 of 15 shots, a rare hit rate of more than 50%, and his teammates can throw it in after receiving the ball.

He doesn't resist playing and is looking forward to the future offensive era, but now in the era of iron-blooded defense, he is not bad at defense, of course, at the moment he prefers the team to play well defensively.

The next day, on a day off, Gentry didn't schedule a team session, and then it was back-to-back.

Li Ao didn't go to practice today, and helped sort out the things in the warehouse at home in the morning.

Mom and Dad are in the kitchen preparing tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

The assistant aunt was directing the workers to decorate the yard and living room, as well as order some dishes that were more suitable for Europeans and Americans, and delivered them before dinner.

Li Ao invited a few teammates to come, the ones who usually play the best, Big Q, O'Neal Jr., Odom, Boikins, and the newcomer Matt Harplin, plus several members of the coaching staff and the old man who retired at Memorial Stadium.

Originally, he wanted to call the coaches of the Trojans and a few old teammates, but unfortunately the Trojans were going to play away, so they had to do it next time.

Li Ao is in charge of disassembling the carton in the warehouse, but he is not too tired, he is not responsible for packing, he is playing away at the time, and now there is a kind of fun of unpacking the express.

After dismantling, sort and put it on the side of the carton or cart, tidy up the backyard to help the aunt and mother will deal with it.

Dismantling and dismantling, Li Ao saw a transparent document bag, and was thinking about whether to put it on the cart of the assistant's work materials or in the small box of the insurance certificate, when he saw the words 'land ownership certificate'.

Just now he also saw a copy, the current villa of the four certificates, so this is ......

Cats know they are going to die, but they still can't restrain their curiosity, and even more so people.

He opened it and looked at it, the land ownership certificate, the transaction records of the past 100 years of land ownership, the housing property rights transaction contract, and the housing purchase insurance were all complete.

Just bought a house, Li Ao knew that this was the complete property right certificate of the Eagle Sauce family.

He doesn't think it's strange that Aunt Courtyard has her own real estate, she is a rich woman with tens of millions of dollars in cash.

But the address above ......

At this time, Vivian happened to arrange the work on the other side of the yard and came to the warehouse to help her family Leo, only to see her family Leo looking at the title deed.

Not good!

"The apartment we stayed in before turned out to be yours! I'll just say how the price is so cheap! ”

"Ahem, I'm not afraid that a little boy like you will have a good face, and I don't want to accept such a low price, you only have 1,500 yuan a month for living expenses, and I don't want you to go to boarding in someone else's house, they will let international students like you do dirty work and sleep in the basement, so I said it was my friend's house."

"Then you also charged me two and a half years of rent! And this month's harvest is also received! ”

"Have you stayed this month?"

"Stay."

"Isn't it right to rent a house and pay rent?"

"Yes."

"Then what's wrong with me charging your rent?"

“……”

Impeccable and irrefutable!

Aunt Courtyard Assistant is more and more able to say with her mouth, who did she learn from!

…

This year's Chinese New Year's Eve is like a party.

Li Ao's parents celebrated the New Year like this for the first time, but they also felt fresh.

The teammates came to play with the old family, and the elders were there, they were very polite, not as prodigal as the usual party, but it was not formal, playing cards, chattering, drinking a little wine, but not drinking much, there were back-to-back tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

Li Ao's predecessor was also a lively master, otherwise he would not have been a girlfriend in junior high school, and after the breakup, he also learned to get drunk and got drunk......

So after he crossed over, his personality was more unrestrained, but no one felt that there was anything wrong, and his parents thought that he had just become more chic because of the blow of falling out of love.

He now knows where the bubbly character of his predecessor came from.

His dad dragged a very broken English that he had just learned in the last two years, actively socialized with his teammates and coaches, and quickly got along, and even went to the card table to kill all sides.

It's completely different from the image of seeing him with a straight face and chasing him if he doesn't agree with him!

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Li Ao's family had a lively time, and everyone had a good time.

There is only one thing that everyone feels speechless.

Kobe Bryant is here, this is no problem, and his teammates also know that Li Ao often uses Kobe to practice defense.

The boss was able to adapt quickly to the NBA confrontation and show his defensive ability in the NBA early, and the player from the neighborhood contributed a lot.

Kobe Bryant was drinking red wine alone, and he showed a smile when chatting with Gentry, who he had known for a long time, and the boss's father, and the others went up to toast only to get a hard "I'm not familiar with you", and they were not surprised.

People don't even give face to their teammates to toast, let alone their neighbor team.

But this thing went to a party, dressed like the groom, in a suit and leather shoes, and tied a tie, pinned a brooch!

None of the others knew what to complain about.

Although Vanessa also dressed up to attend, it could be seen that it was in line with Kobe's dress.

After being with Kobe, Vanessa also often appeared on TV, often haunting the wife's circle, and the dress on TV and newspapers was not like this...... The exception is when he appears with Kobe.

But what makes everyone else envious is that Vanessa enjoys dressing up with Kobe.

This is equivalent to a boy who likes Ultraman, and his girlfriend is willing to cooperate with the like.

…

After a lively year, the next day, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Li Ao continued his rookie season.

In the morning's preparations, the Clippers players were exceptionally positive and emotional.

Tonight's opponent is the Celtics!

Of course, they don't empathize with their next-door neighbors, on the contrary, in a way, they are more empathetic to the Celtics, and they don't like their next-door neighbors.

It's that they feel like they have a big chance of winning tonight!

In terms of standings, the Celtics are eighth in the East, but they only have a 20-22 record.

Their Clippers are only 11th in the West, but they have a 21-21 record.

And they almost won the last meeting, but Pierce's side scored 13 points in the final quarter and 35 points in a single game, relying on their individual ability to overturn them, and the Celtics took away the victory with a 7-point advantage.

In this encounter, the Clippers want to win it back!

Compared to challenging strong opponents, it is definitely more exciting to play against evenly matched opponents.

Li Ao is also looking forward to fighting the strange man who took 11 stabs in 28 seconds in September last year.

Black athletes, jealous and jealous girls in Boston nightclubs, how should the people who do this be?

The most amazing thing is that Pierce actually returned to the team before the end of the training camp, as if he had opened up the second pulse of Ren Du, and the improvement was greater than when he was in the second grade, averaging 24.9 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists per game so far this season, ranking among the top scorers, and it was the first time in three seasons since entering the NBA that he played half of the regular season and still maintained full attendance.

Some media ridiculed that Pierce's body was replaced with all-metal armor.

At the end of the morning's preparations, Li Ao communicated with Matt Harpling and O'Neal Jr. about defensive coordination, and was ready to practice, and Big Q suddenly found him in a hurry.

"Boss! Pierce said that your defense is not good, just by fighting to scare people, you can't scare him, he can blow you up with one hand......"

…

Where did he offend Pierce?

Li Ao didn't seem to know this person when he thought about it.

After being in the NBA for so long, he is recognized as good in three aspects - defense, passing, and mid-range shooting.

Of course, black fans disagree that this is recognized.

As an off-ball pitcher, he scores a lot of goals, and the black fans and the media who use him as a selling point say that his teammates pass the ball well.

In the dozen games Odom was injured, he averaged a double-double per game.

There are many assists, and black fans also say that it is only his teammates who shoot accurately.

But his defense, except for the stalk of 'bullying the old and abusing the weak', even black fans do not deny that his defensive performance is very good.

It is likely that the man who was stabbed 11 times in the nightclub was jealous of his handsomeness.

This is kind of provoked, a little angry, but more curious.

Obviously, he can spray him to score and assist, but he chooses the most untouchable defense.

What is this brain circuit?

He paused his practice, went to the break room, took out his notebook, swiped the news on the Internet, and saw a video clip of Pierce's interview.

Big Q really didn't add oil and vinegar, but said it very tactfully.

Pierce didn't even provoke, but sprayed him.

Say he's overrated defensively, the league favors him, says he's got a block......

In the video, Pierce sprayed his content, some of which were illogical and inconsistent, and it felt like he was venting his emotions.

But Pierce went berserk, and Li Ao saw the reason - the question asked by the host was deliberately provoking trouble.

The host asked Pierce: "The last time you played against the Clippers, Spider-Man was not there, and you only won by 7 points, this time Spider-Man is here, it is difficult for you to score another 35 points, do you still have a chance to win?" ”

Li Ao remembered that in the game in early December, some media commented that the Celtics took advantage of his suspension, and they should thank the Knicks for helping them win.

Before that, there's one more question – "Do you envy Spider-Man for being selected as an All-Star starter in his rookie season?" ”

Yesterday, when Li Ao's family celebrated the New Year, the NBA officially announced the data of the second phase of the All-Star starting voting, as of the 20th, Li Ao has received more than 1.81 million votes, and continues to win the first vote in the West, beating O'Neal with 1.63 million votes.

Carter is still the league's top vote winner, with 1.93 million votes, surpassing the second-highest number of votes he received in history last season.

In the first stage of voting, Carter's votes were a bit dangerous, and his fans immediately actively voted for him, temporarily widening the gap with Li Ao.

It is foreseeable that Jordan's all-time record of 2.45 million votes in 1997 will be obsolete.

When the reporter asked this question, Pierce was already nervous and replied: "All-Star starter does not mean strength, he is in Los Angeles, just like a movie star, he naturally has more votes." ”

Pierce was sour here, but he was restrained.

But with this question foreshadowing, when the host asked the second question, Pierce directly broke the defense.

Li Ao understood why Pierce sprayed him, but it was all sprayed on his face, so he had to respond.

He was ready to go to practice, calm himself down, prepare well, and be ready to respond on both offensive and defensive ends, when the team's press officer, Kyle, came and asked him if he would like to be interviewed now.

The recent record is not good, 5 wins and 9 losses, and Li Ao's enthusiasm for interviews is not as high as in the early season.

Now it's not like when I was in college and kept winning, pretending to be forced casually.

In addition to dealing with the imperial court and Xinhua News Agency, he has not been interviewed for a long time, and he is focused on improving his strength and preparing for a more pleasant pretence in the future.

He subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when he heard the name of the media that requested the interview, he chose to accept.

…

This morning, in the ESPN basketball game preview news, Pierce angrily sprayed Li Ao's defense being overrated in an exclusive interview yesterday, and said that he would blow Li Ao with one hand.

On the midday news, ESPN released Li Ao's response.

"First of all, I don't disrespect my physically handicapped friends, I treat everyone equally, but I'm curious, what is the picture of an able-bodied person playing with one hand? I hope he is like a man and counts when he talks. ”

"I heard that he is a native of Los Angeles, a Lakers fan since he was a child, and once dreamed of joining the Lakers? Don't dream about it, the Lakers have Kobe Bryant, where can he look down on...... Oh, I've heard that the Lakers are still dreaming of trading me back, please let them know that I'm expensive, unless they tear it down. ”

"My defense may be overrated, but I think his offense is also overrated, he scores so many points and his record is not as good as ours, what's the use? The Celtics are still rotten, their current core is not capable of leading them to win. ”

"Of course I'm confident that I can defend against him, I'm not the kind of person who can't even defend to score points......"

After the news was broadcast, it detonated the attention of fans!

Two young stars are on the bar!

In the middle of this season, fans can not have much fun, last time it was Li Ao 9 consecutive 20+, and then led the team to beat the OK combination.

In the past period of time, there has been no hot news, and what can be called lively is that the Clippers 'do charity' sent a first-class two-way guard who can play an average of 17+6 per game to the Cavaliers if given the opportunity.

And the popularity was very short-lived, no one paid attention to McGinnis after he went to the Cavaliers, and some people paid attention to this player during the Clippers period, purely because of Li Ao.

Now, finally have fun again!

Fans found out that Li Ao was a real loss! Every knife is pierced in the point!
