168. Ten wins in a row!

Jamison scored 9 points in the first half of the quarter, and 17 points to 26 points, Li Ao capitalized.

The highest score of the game was snatched away.

Li Ao was quite confused before, playing in a team with 11 wins and 41 losses, how can he play an average of 42 minutes per game?

Recently, he played against the Warriors and Bulls in a row, and he suddenly realized.

He didn't get the highest score in the game, he was a little regretful, but let him rub time to brush, he didn't have the ability to brush up, 25 points and 4 blocks in a single game, higher than the season average, which is already very good.

The next afternoon, on the way from Oakland International Airport to Miami, Li Ao flipped through the rest of the schedule, and his mouth bulged.

In the first game of the second half, they played easily and smoothly re-adapted to the rhythm of the game.

9 consecutive wins, Meizizi, the team history record once again raised.

But it's hard to get behind!

There are 4 games left in the 8 consecutive games, first playing back-to-back with the Heat and Magic, then playing the Nets, and finally the 76ers to the end.

Next, we will play five games in a row against the three top six teams in the West, the Trail Blazers, Kings, and Mavericks......

It's so stressful!

Wait a minute!

Li Ao suddenly reacted, and he flipped through the schedule for the first half of last month.

At that time, there were a bunch of back-to-backs, a bunch of strong opponents, and a 3-9 performance in 12 games, and he didn't have any pressure.

Now that I just played a wave of 12-1 performance, why is the pressure getting bigger?

After struggling all the way to the hotel in Miami, he figured it out.

He was caught in a state of anxiety about gains and losses.

He found Big Q, both rookies, and he felt that the other party could empathize with him and comfort each other.

Who Cheng thought that Da Q replied in surprise: "I'm not stressed!" 31-22, such a good record, I also became the main rotation, and I am very happy now. ”

"Don't you think the next opponent will be difficult to deal with?"

"It's hard, but there's you, Boss, Lamar, Jermaine, Matt...... I'm not afraid. ”

Li Ao:( ̄(∞) ̄)

Oh yes!

He Spider-Man is one of the few people who carry the team forward, and Big Q is just a defensive sapper and a wing pitcher, how can he throw pressure on Big Q.

However, he is now thinking about the next nine games, and he can't concentrate on training, so he has to think of ways to relieve the pressure.

But he usually relies on training to transfer pressure, but now he can't concentrate on training because of pressure...... It's an endless loop!

If you can't think of a way, then ask!

He dialed the phone number of his seniors in the same city.

The answer was: "I haven't had the situation you said, I've been in the NBA and have been doing well, and I've had the worst record in the West, and I can't understand the pressure of Ling." ”

Cha!

Got the blast head!

"But I know a way to deflect the pressure, you can give it a try."

Li Ao hurriedly asked, "What way?" ”

"You just lose the next nine games and see how many of the remaining 20 games you have to win to make the playoffs."

Li Ao: (ˇˇ)

What is this operation?

He suddenly had an idea: "Oh, I see, I'm going to put all the wins I need to make the playoffs on the next 20 games, and I'm ready to lose all nine games, so I'm less stressed now."

And these 9 games, every win of 1 game, can reduce the pressure of 1 win in the next 20 games, and at the same time can reduce the current pressure, from a vicious circle to a virtuous circle......"

The exploding head on the other end of the phone hung up the phone with a "snap" - let me finish pretending!

This method of transferring pressure treats the symptoms but not the root cause, and it can't really completely transfer the pressure, but it is enough for Li Ao.

The mentality of suffering from gains and losses makes him unable to calm down and train and prepare for the war will also affect his thinking, as long as he can temporarily avoid the impact on these two aspects.

Relying on this method, he went to the American Airlines Center arena in the afternoon and successfully immersed himself in training under the guidance of James Worthy.

At the end of an afternoon of training, he was thinking about the three-point and mid-range shots he hoped to improve, but he had not yet improved, and he still needed to work his high back and 70 back, and he still did not reach the qualified level...... But his stamina has increased from 90 to 91!

The east is not bright and the west is bright, and the playing time has increased sharply in the past month or so, often playing more than 40 minutes of games, and he can only walk to catch the ball and throw after hitting, but in this high-pressure game environment, his physical strength is getting better and better.

The next day, on the morning of February 22, Li Ao came to the American Airlines Center again, this time with the whole team, to prepare for the evening game against the Heat.

At noon, a sudden transaction made Li Ao call "I'm a".

Tomorrow is the trade deadline, and the 76ers and Hawks have completed a buzzer-beating trade.

The 76ers sent Kukoc, Ratliff and Mutombo in a trade from the Hawks.

With a reimbursed center forward and a substitute who didn't match the team's system at all, and exchanged it for Mutombo, who was in his playing years?

Li Ao wanted to say to Wally Walker - you are still too conservative.

However, Li Ao still approves of Wally-Walker's mid-season efforts, and he heard that the general manager has been running for reinforcements.

But it's not easy, you can't move the current core framework, and other teams are eyeing their interior twin towers, the offer has to be bold, the trade has to be conservative, and Wally Walker is in a difficult situation.

Knowing the environment the team is in now, Li Ao did not pin his hopes on foreign aid, but focused on improving himself.

At 5:40 p.m., the Clippers entered the arena at the American Airlines Center.

Playing against the Heat again, the momentum on the Clippers' side is completely different.

The Heat currently sit third in the East with a 31-22 record.

Coincidentally, their Clippers are now also 31-22!

And they are currently on a 9-game winning streak, with momentum!

Plus tonight Fox Sports is going to broadcast their game...... Before going on the court, Li Ao led his teammates to shout - "Ten consecutive wins!" ”

After the start of the game, Li Ao played very aggressively, giving Tim Hardaway a big hat in the opening game.

Before hitting the official timeout, he scored Brian Grant's cake-eating dunk and AC Green's rebound in succession.

The Heat's offense was actually okay in the first half of the quarter, and the Clippers were tied 12-12.

Li Ao's half-section 3 hats played an important role.

The Heat veterans have done a mental build-up and can't be intimidated like the Lakers' old men.

can see Spider-Man hated their inner twin towers, even if the reason for the twin towers being hatted is because the frame-attacking skills are too clumsy, it still shocks them.

In the second half of the first quarter, the Heat's offense collapsed and only scored 7 points!

However, for many years, the strong team has not been built, and if the offense is not good, the players of the Heat team will defend to the death.

The Clippers didn't play well offensively in positional warfare, scoring only 5 points, but relying on defensive counterattacks to score 7 points, and another 12 points in the first quarter!

24-19, the Clippers led by 5 points in the first quarter!

In the second quarter, the Clippers wanted to take advantage of the victory and continue to rely on defensive counterattacks and strong interior offenses to open up the difference, but the Heat strengthened their defense, and the positional battle stuck to the interior, no longer giving Odom and Margeti the opportunity to wreak havoc on the interior easily.

Defending the basket and making up for the mid-range, the Heat's defense has a clear purpose.

Li Ao pulled outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle, and no one cared!

When Odom and Margeti rushed to the ball, Li Ao decisively received the ball for two consecutive rounds and scored!

Pat Riley was caught off guard.

Li Ao has only scored three three-pointers in his last 11 games, and has failed to hit three-pointers in nine games.

There are many reasons, playing the Spurs was targeted, playing the Kings and the opposing team's defense was too good, playing the Bulls he only cared about practicing back play, and there were also cases where he couldn't shoot...... But in games like the Trail Blazers that require him to score threes, he really just made two.

Pat Riley doesn't have that much time to pay attention to the teams outside the top eight in the East, and the data he saw was that Li Ao's three-point shooting rate fell to 28.8%, so he made an arrangement to let Li Ao go for three points.

Li Ao scored two open three-pointers in a row, disrupting the Heat's defense, and the Clippers took advantage of the situation to attack and soared 27 points in a single quarter, while the Heat's defense did not do a good job and the offense was not raised, and only scored 18 points in a single quarter.

At halftime, the Clippers led by 14 points, 51-37.

In the second half, the Heat's 50-win level strength was still shown, successfully lowering the Clippers' score to 21 points, and scoring 23 points themselves, stabilizing the situation and chasing the score to 60-72.

In the final quarter, Tim Hardaway and Eddie Jones opened up on the offensive end, and the Heat went one step further defensively, scoring 23 points in 10 minutes while the Clippers scored only 14 points.

83-86, the Heat chased the difference to 3 points!

When the Clippers attacked, Odom broke through the top arc and broke through from the left side, Li Ao leaned on Bowen on the right side of the free throw line, seized the opportunity, and turned to cut inside.

Brian Grant didn't block it out.

In addition to scoring 9 points in the second quarter, Li Ao scored only 8 points in the other three quarters, and under Bowen's defense, he didn't hit a close shot in the final quarter, and only scored a long two points to score 2 points.

But Odom still played the ball as soon as Li Ao got his chance.

Li Ao received the ball at the half-step position on the right side of the three-second zone, jumped, and made a close-range jumper......

Entered!

At the critical moment, Li Ao did not relent!

His teammates supported the attack and held the advantage until the last moment, and he lived up to his teammates and hit the key ball!

Pat Riley shook his head.

With talent and a big heart that can shoot key shots, such a rookie is someone else's ...... Suddenly he wasn't so uncomfortable again, at least not from the Lakers!

With a 5-point difference, the Heat did not give up, and they all caught up with the 14-point difference.

When it came to the Heat's offense, Eddie Jones, who was ridiculed for 'you will be stronger if you have an explosive head', received the ball and hit Li Ao's backward shot, 85-88, and the Heat bit the score!

Switching offense and defense, Odom continued to break through the attack.

Greg Anthony moved from a 45-degree angle on the left to the top arc, Matt Harprin was two points long on the right baseline, and O'Neal Jr. was close on the left baseline, and the space was as open as possible.

Li Ao continued to turn his back and cut in when Odom broke through, but this time Bowen predicted it and stepped back early, sticking it up when Li Ao received the ball, giving Brian Grant on the left side of the three-second zone a chance to retract.

Anthony Mason Jr. waved his arms to cut off the space for Li Ao to pass to O'Neill Jr. and back to Odom.

Li Ao took the initiative to dribble a step deep into the inside line, leaned in when Brian Grant made up for it, and turned around Brian Grant!

Brian Grant struggled to stop his feet and turned to pounce, it was too late, Li Ao turned around and hit the basket!

At the critical moment, the back-to-back shooting and boxing skills that have been practiced a lot in the past two months have played a key role!

The Clippers continue to hold a five-point lead!

In the remaining tens of seconds, Tim Hardaway and Eddie Jones' strong shots were iron under the defense of Li Ao and Matt Halprin.

At 8:22 p.m., the final whistle blew.

Relying on Li Ao's 21 points, 6 boards, 3 assists, 2 steals and 6 blocks, Odom's 16 points, 8 boards and 6 assists, O'Neal Jr.'s 8 points, 14 boards, 2 steals and 1 block, and Margety's 22 points, 5 boards and 5 assists, the Clippers beat the Heat 90-85 again!

Li Ao and his teammates gathered around to celebrate, 10 consecutive wins!

For the first time in team history, 10 consecutive wins!

Li Ao's system prompt is also here.

"The host led the team to defeat the Miami Heat, congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: 650 achievement points."

"The opening score:

Goal: The host must lead the team to 10 consecutive wins this season.

Reward: 10,000 achievement points.

Progression Objective: Continue your winning streak.

Reward: After 10 consecutive wins, each streak awards 2000 achievement points. ”

Before the start of the match, he was given the task of winning 10 in a row, but there were no additional requirements, he didn't care, he focused on the game, because whether it was the task or not, he wanted to win the match.

10,000 achievement points, win!

In the post-game interview, Li Ao was asked if the Magic team could continue to win back-to-back games tomorrow.

The big spider swelled slightly: "We're going to bloody the South Coast!" ”
