At 6 p.m., the Clippers' home game against the Bulls began.

O'Neal Jr. beat Brad Miller to win the jump ball, and the Clippers took the lead.

Brevine Knight receives the ball and advances quickly and plays the ball......

Odom went down, Li Ao went around to the right side, followed Odom, and after entering the three-point line, Odom turned to block Artest, Li Ao cut in by cover, and when Brand slowly completed the change of defense, Li Ao had already entered the inside line.

Li Ao received the ball on the right side of the three-second zone and jumped up and jumped with one hand.

After glancing at the task, not counting the singles score, Li Ao pursed his mouth and ran back.

The Clippers attacked, and Bruce Drew took serve and advanced.

The Bulls' other starter was Ron Mersel.

Ron Mersel, Artest, Brand, Brad Miller, these four are still okay to watch.

Among them, Brand and Ron Mersel are still mature instant combat power, with the former having a comprehensive rating of 88 and the latter 83.

Artest, who was already a very good defensive player in his second year, was just dragged down by the team's defense.

Although Brad Miller was undrafted, he could see his talent, with a comprehensive evaluation of 78, averaging 8.9 points, 7 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game.

But with a comprehensive rating of 62, Bruce Drew is in charge...... Brad Miller averaged 3.9 assists per game at the World Championships, and his ability to respond was completely unplayable.

Judging from the selection of such a point guard as the main control, the lineup that the Bulls have accumulated in the past two years is estimated to have not entered the eyes of their management, and this group of people is not in the future plans of the Bulls.

It doesn't even matter if Artest and Brad Miller have room to grow.

Bruce Drew came to the three-point line and hoisted the ball to Brand, who was leaning low on O'Neal Jr. on the left side of the basket, and Odom was the center tonight.

Li Ao asked Ron Mersel in confusion, "Aren't you running two steps?" ”

Ron Mercer: (.) ヘ°)？

Li Ao didn't wait for the other party to answer, and seized the opportunity to shrink.

Brand relied on his strong strength to knock back a step back O'Neal Jr., and was about to hook his hand, when he saw Li Ao coming in, he wanted to share the ball, but he couldn't see where his free teammates were, so he could only switch to a lever throw to avoid Li Ao's block...... Iron!

Brand wanted to rush for a second offense, but was blocked by O'Neal Jr., and could only watch Li Ao stretch out his long arm to take the rebound.

Brand is jealous!

He had seen a news that the Spider-Man's arm span should be about the same as him, far more than 215 centimeters in the official information.

When Li Ao crossed his hands on his hips, he couldn't see it, but when Li Ao came in to make up for the defense just now, and now when he grabbed the board, he could see that he did have an arm span similar to him.

But the height is about the same and the arm span is about the same, why does this rookie look like a male model?

He has a short neck, narrow shoulders, and a cylindrical upper body...... Like a pier with two long sticks stuck in it?

Just now, when Li Ao stretched out his hand to interfere with Brand's hook hand and Brandra's pole shot, the players and fans on the sidelines also saw that the two of them covered almost the same area with their arms outstretched.

But looking at the two of them alone, the body shape of the two is completely different, aside from the weight of 100 kg and 120 kg, the wider shoulders alone make Li Ao crush Brand in this part of the figure.

When the Clippers attacked, Li Ao didn't notice Brand's jealous eyes, and he focused on Artest, who was guarding him.

This second-grade senior is really fierce against him!

Although there is a big gap between the muscle mass and the 113 kg peak in the future, it already has the strength of 91, and the confrontation is as fierce as the explosive head.

At this time, the difficult operation of using the explosive head to practice back play played a role, and Li Ao still reached the position on the right side of the free throw line when he suffered a loss in weight and strength, and reached out to ask for the ball.

He can easily run to cover the catch and shoot without playing, and run to fight hand-to-hand with the opponent's savage sophomore forward, Blevin Knight resisted the urge to rush in and brush the assist, and hoisted the ball to Li Ao.

It's hard to play the starter, it's still such a weak team, but you can't break through the pass, it's better to play as a substitute!

Li Ao hit Artest with his back and turned over for a jumper, the action was picturesque, but iron.

Li Ao quickly retreated, judging the timing of the defense, pressing the footsteps, and the intensity of the interference...... Artest defended very well.

After the Bulls completed the offense, Li Ao once again came to the front court to play Artest with his back to the top.

This time, when Li Ao received the ball, he stepped forward half a step, received the ball and took advantage of the space to turn around, and raised his hand in the face of Artest, who was pressing, Artest immediately reached out to interfere, and his lower limbs were ready to jump and interfere at any time.

After Li Ao raised his hand and shook a shot, he slapped the ball, retreated, jumped, and shot two points long......

Artest was very active in pressing it again, but although he didn't jump up when he was about to jump to interfere with the shot just now, his legs still straightened, and this time he pressed it a beat slower!

Li Ao's two points of force were a little less, but the direction was accurate, the ball hit the inside of the front of the basket, turned it upside down, and hit the inside of the other side and slid into the frame.

Hit!

The adjustment works!

Li Ao watched the arrival of 500 achievement points, and his enthusiasm for practicing world peace was even higher.

Confrontation, movement, defensive positivity, awareness, the best defensive player of the future is not weaker than the explosive head.

But the defensive ability and experience are still a lot worse.

Although it is also difficult to deal with one-on-one, it is much easier to play than against Kobe Bryant's defense.

Li Ao started to play with two rounds of back-to-back play, a few rounds of slow running, and then a back-to-back play.

Of course, I can't stand this kind of confrontation all the time.

He is very committed in every singles, and he learns from the experience of whether he enters or not, and adjusts in the next singles.

Artest, who defensively, is also very involved on the defensive end, and he is also adjusting his defensive style after each defense, as for the offensive ...... He can't help it, he's actually very good at playing on the wing, but no one feeds him, the head coach has a fixed set of seven or eight singles opportunities per game, but tonight against Matt Harprin single defense, Li Ao assists defense...... He's very committed on the defensive end.

Li Ao and Artest were having a great time, and Brand's side looked at Li Ao viciously for a long time, and found that the other party didn't pay attention to him at all, so he focused on the singles O'Neal Jr.

Little O'Neill noticed Brand's inexplicable hostility towards Li Ao at the beginning, but he didn't know why this hostility fell on him.

This feels so familiar......

But he didn't!

Brand is the most difficult to defend big forward in the low post, so thick that he is used to carry O'Neal's body in the low post, the length of the arms is exaggerated, the soft feel, one-on-one is almost impossible to defend, O'Neal Jr. is just this opponent to hone the low-post single defense ability!

…

The game between the Clippers and the Bulls was not good for the fans.

The only two highlights are that Li Ao faced Artest's defense and played iron, and O'Neal Jr. couldn't prevent Brand.

The two pairs were dominated by the Bulls, but in terms of scores, the Bulls trailed the Clippers by 13 points at halftime.

By the middle of the fourth quarter, the margin had stretched to 21 points.

Li Ao and Brand have not been singles all the time.

Brand played 41 minutes in the game, with single shots + singles points, and the number of times added up to 22 times.

He shot 7-of-15 from the field and made 7-of-9 free throws to finish with 21 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks.

His singles environment is very poor, and it is difficult to have a good chance to share the ball when encountering a pinch, such as Li Ao shrinking, Ron Mersel standing like that, and not even moving to avoid the interference of Li Ao's passing and receiving lines.

When Li Ao was replaced in the middle of the fourth quarter, he played 33 minutes in three and a half quarters, and only 15 singles plays, of which 13 were successful shots, 5 of 13 shots, two fouls, 4 free throws, and 14 points in singles.

93 points per 100 rounds of singles, which is too iron.

But the opponent is the Bulls, which is enough.

And he didn't shoot all singles tonight, but also ran to catch the ball and shoot, counterattack, 33 minutes of playing time 23 shots 11, including 0 of 1 three-pointers, plus 7 of 7 free throws, got 29 points, 7 boards, 2 assists, 1 steal and 4 blocks.

As long as the Clippers play together tonight, they can basically have open shots.

When abusing vegetables, the ball passed by Bravin Knight, and the teammates felt more comfortable receiving and shooting than the ball passed by the left devil and Spider-Man.

After the fight, Li Ao knew that this opponent was even worse than he imagined.

The Bulls are second to last in the league in points per game, but it's not that they have better scoring ability than the bottom-to-last Heat, but to play behind, and their Clippers don't want to defend against the Bulls, and they can't do it.

The other teams are certainly about the same.

If every opponent really defends against the Bulls normally, it may be difficult for the Bulls to average 80 points per game.

In the end, the Clippers easily defeated the Bulls 104-82.

Li Ao is a little iron tonight, and he is tired from too many singles, but he easily wins + fights on his back...... Combined with the 600 achievement points reward for the tournament and the 3500 achievement point reward for the mission, he played very happily.

There's only one thing he's not quite comfortable with – trash talk about world peace is real rubbish.

This guy isn't Duncan's kind of guy who doesn't talk back, but he can't speak back when he returns.

In the end, Li Ao and Artest's trash talk became "shut up", "I don't", "shut up", "I won't......

…

The game between the Clippers and the Bulls, except for the Clippers fans, no one paid attention, and the Bulls fans didn't pay attention.

The Clippers, on their side, only regarded this game as a two-and-a-half-hour 'training', practicing running positions, interior pinch defense, and easily won 4 consecutive victories by the way, improving their record to 26-22, keeping up with the ninth-ranked 27-22 Rockets, maintaining the hope of impacting the playoffs.

By noon the next day, Feb. 4, the league announced its full list of participants for All-Star Weekend.

The Clippers have four players in the tournament.

In the Rookie Challenge, Li Ao and Da Q were selected for the first-grade team, and Odom was selected for the second-grade team.

In the slam dunk contest, Margeti was selected.

In the three-point competition, Big Q was selected.

The All-Star bench doesn't have their share.

Li Ao is very happy to have teammates go to All-Star Weekend together, but unfortunately there is no skill challenge yet, otherwise Blevin Knight participates, as long as he does not miss too many shots and layups, he is likely to win the championship.

After chatting for a while with the three teammates who participated in the All-Star Weekend, Li Ao continued to watch the video and prepare for tomorrow's game.

Tomorrow's opponent - the Trail Blazers!

Not only him, but the whole team took this game very seriously, and in the afternoon preparation training, Gentry was very well prepared, and the players were very actively involved.

After Olowo Kandi went to the Trail Blazers, he really played!

So far, Olovokandi has played 50 games, averaging 32 minutes per game, scoring 12.2 points, 11.8 rebounds and 2.6 blocks.

And the Trail Blazers are currently in second place in the West, with a record of 37 wins and 13 losses!

Due to Sabonis's serious decline in form this year, the addition of Olovocandi is like a building on the verge of collapse.

The Trail Blazers traded O'Neal Jr. + a first-round pick for a first-round pick, which was highly rated.

When the Clippers made this deal, they were ridiculed and charitable, using a first-round pick who had only played for two years for a high school student who had not played for four years.

If it weren't for O'Neal Jr., who averaged 10.8 points, 11 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 2.4 blocks per game, and he was younger and showed better offensive talent, they would have been ridiculed even worse now, and the more they wanted to improve and try to win, the worse they would have been.

After Olowokandi played under the urging of a group of ball ruffians of the Trail Blazers, he sprayed the Clippers many times, mocking the Clippers for their poor strength and not using him.

This, the Clippers players can understand, not to mention Olowocandi, they all feel that Olovocandi has been delayed by them for two years.

But understanding doesn't mean that they won't be unhappy, they are now riveting and want to get off the line!

Tomorrow's game, they have an advantage - the Trail Blazers are back-to-back, playing the Suns away tonight and back-to-back games in Los Angeles tomorrow.

Today, Li Ao is a Suns fan!

Kidd League's Best Point Guard! Marion All-Star Power Forward!

…

It's really hard to say about luck.

The Clippers players actively prepared for the afternoon and saw each other work so hard, and the confidence of the Trail Blazers, who will play second in the West and third in the league tomorrow, was slightly improved.

At night, they lay down with great confidence!

After watching the live broadcast of the game between the Trail Blazers and the Suns, Li Ao shouted - the best point guard in Kidd's history! Clifford-Robinson's No. 1 forward in the league!

In the first half of the game, the Suns were pressed to beat.

The Trail Blazers led by 6 points 28-22 in the first quarter and extended the lead to 10 points 23-19 in the second quarter, which was a hanging, but in the third quarter, the veteran Clifford Robinson broke out, made 5 three-pointers in a single quarter, and led the team to beat the Trail Blazers 32-22 in a single quarter, tying the score!

At the beginning of the final quarter, Clifford Robinson continued to shoot at Pippen, and the hair-throwing Pippen went up to knock the opponent down, and Clifford Robinson was not easy to mess with, and got up and punched Pippen in the face...... Many people participated in the conflict and were sent off, and Tianzun, who was resting on the sidelines, stepped on the field and roared and was sent off......

In the end, the Suns defeated the Trail Blazers 100-92.

At 7:40 p.m. the next night, Olovokandi looked at his former teammates with bad intentions written all over his face, and he was very square!

Brother Sa! Second Brother Pi! Brother Hua! What about you?

The bad guy on the other side wants to bully me!
