Goal 1 only needs to win 11 of the last 20 games.

But Goal 2...... Li Ao estimates that he will have to win at least 13 games, which is a 55-win winning percentage.

And maybe 13 games won't work......

Turn off the system screen, he doesn't want to go that far first, first of all, take down the collapsed opponent in front of him!

At 8 p.m., the Clippers host the Nuggets.

The Clippers quickly gained the upper hand, and on the offensive end, Odom attacked, Lee responded + mid-range shots, O'Neal Jr. moved from close range and under the basket, Greg Anthony responded, Matt Halprin covered and cut in the air, and everyone was determined to do what they were good at.

On the defensive end, Li Ao led the defense with the top arc, O'Neal Jr. guarded the inside, Matt Harprin blocked the defense on the flank, and the three defenses were very good.

After entering the rotation lineup, Gentry moved moderately, and tonight he needed to suppress the opponent with defense, and he rotated the players on the court in the first quarter to ensure continuity on the defensive end.

In the first quarter, the Clippers scored 26 points and defended the Nuggets to only 17 points!

The Nuggets started well, and their record was once in the same class as the Suns, Mavericks, and Jazz.

Van Exel, Woshan-Leonard, James Posey, Antonio McDyce, Reeve Lafrenz are the starting combinations, to attack and defensive, Lafrentz is still a three-point center, Van Exel and Antonio McDyce are more comfortable on the offensive end.

Also on the bench are evergreen Kevin Willis, George McLeod, Robert Pike, Mark Strickland, and Zeon Clark, who have averaged 3.3 three-pointers per game...... and other high-quality role players.

At one point, the Nuggets averaged 99 points per game + conceded 95 points per game.

At the end of December, the Clippers were hammered once by the Nuggets.

But in the middle of the season, as soon as the Nuggets' schedule intensity increased, their performance began to decline, and before they finished playing in January, they fell to 10th in the West, and were overtaken by the Clippers to 11th.

In mid-January, the Clippers could rely on Li Ao's 33 points, 8 assists and 4 blocks to narrowly defeat the Nuggets with Odom's absence.

By the second half of the season when the intensity was greater, the Nuggets had completely turned into soft-footed shrimp, and now they have conceded more points per game than they averaged, averaging 96.7 points per game and conceding 97 points per game.

The Clippers, who played against the Diggers again, really can't tell where the opponent collapsed, and the style of play is still the same as in the early part of the season.

That should be because the intensity of the play is not enough, and other strong teams are getting better as the season progresses, and the Nuggets are still the strength at the beginning of the season.

By the second quarter, the Clippers had gone 25-17 to extend their lead to 16 points, and the gap between the Western Conference playoff teams and non-playoff teams was revealed.

After halftime, the Clippers let Odom and O'Neal Jr. rest, Chris Meem and Brian Skinner partnered inside, and the defensive performance declined, and the Nuggets scored 27 points, but the Clippers were led by Boykins and Brevine Knight in turn, scoring 32 points in a single quarter!

The Nuggets' defense is completely gone, Boykins breaks through and Blevine Knight breaks through the score, it's like walking in the back garden.

In the final quarter, Gentry replaced the combination of Greg Anthony, Big Q, Li Ao, Margetty, and Chris Mime, Li Ao launched an attack with a high back play, and his teammates cooperated with the run.

Yes, Li Ao mentioned this matter to Gentry, who was going to take some time to practice on the following training day, but he didn't expect that before the training day, the training opportunity came.

He specially arranged for Li Ao to be a big Q, Margetty, Chris Meem, three young runners, plus Greg Anthony, an experienced veteran point guard, to command on the court.

Under the leadership of Li Ao, the Clippers' offense tended to score seconds, and the offense collapsed, scoring only 16 points.

This was expected by Gentry, Li Ao played James Posey without the ball and could fly, but in the face of this defensive genius with the ball, let alone him, Kobe, Carter, Ray Allen and others had to decline in front of James Posey.

Li Ao made only two of his seven shots in the final quarter, scoring four points and two assists...... Plus 7 rebounds in a single quarter!

Compared with Van Exel's 1 of 5 shots in garbage time, Li Ao's shooting percentage is actually good.

Gentry thought that the gap would be narrowed in the final quarter, but in the end, the margin opened up by another 4 points, and the Nuggets only scored 12 points in the final quarter.

It's really a mentality that exploded, and the Nuggets made a few blind shots in the final quarter, scoring 4 goals in 22 shots.

Originally, Clippers fans felt that there was nothing to see in this game, and the strength shown by the other party was not even worthy of the current record of 30-33, and the 0-6 losses in the past 6 games are more representative of the strength of the Nuggets.

As a result, the opponent sent the board in the last quarter......

Li Ao had 4 points, 1 board, 3 assists and 1 block in the first quarter, 5 points, 2 boards, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block in the second quarter, and 11 points, 1 board and 4 assists in the third quarter.

In the final quarter, Li Ao got 4 points, 7 boards, 2 assists and 1 block!

24 points, 11 boards, 11 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks, Li Ao assisted a double-double for the first time in his career, and relied on the opponent's final quarter to help the board, and scored a triple-double for the first time in his career!

99-73, the Clippers defeated the Nuggets by 26 points and won their 36th win of the season!

The fans at the scene were in high spirits in the last few minutes, and when Li Ao got his 10th rebound, everyone was in high spirits.

He also got 10 rebounds, and the big Q excitedly told him that he only knew about the triple-double, and he felt that there were a lot of rebounds in the final quarter......

Not only did they have a lot of defensive rebounds, but the opposite side was also the same, with Kevin Willis completing his third career 10 rebounds in a single quarter.

These triple-doubles came very suddenly, just like in the Crazy Three finals, he was not interested in the sewers, but he didn't expect to get it!

That's it, 7 of the 11 rebounds were scored in garbage time...... The fans don't care if it's garbage time, he doesn't care, enjoy the cheers!

…

Li Ao scored a triple-double, in this stage when NBA exciting games are emerging in an endless stream and the NCAA crazy three is about to begin, even if it is a game that is not interesting to watch, he still won a headline!

The first rookie triple-double of the season!

The players who got a triple-double in their rookie season said it was a lot less, but not much more.

Counting Li Ao, in the past 5 years of drafting, only 4 people have won it.

The other three are Anthony Walker, Francis, Odom.

Francis 1, Anthony Walker 2, and Odom 3.

At the age of 19, Li Ao broke the record held by Odom for the youngest triple-double in history at 20 years and 45 days.

The youngest Mr. Sanshuang is born!

There was a wave of 2 wins and 5 losses in front, and the Clippers cooled down, but with two consecutive back-to-back wins + Li Ao's youngest triple-double in history, fans' eyes returned to the Clippers.

The next morning, after Li Ao got up and finished his morning exercise, he brushed the news for a while.

Whenever he plays well, it's a day of suffering for Lakers fans.

The Lakers were once again ridiculed.

As the defending champions, the Lakers are in the league alone, and the OK combination is in full swing.

Fans of other teams seized the opportunity and could not laugh hard.

And the more this is the case, the more regretful and unwilling Lakers fans become, and this emotion becomes deeper with the passage of time and with Li Ao's better and better performance on the court.

Of course, there will also be Lakers fans who will stand up and fight back - Spider-Man's triple-double was brushed in garbage time.

There was a counterattack, and the fans of the other teams were even more excited.

"Do any of your Lakers players have a triple-double this season?"

"You garbage time no one can get a triple-double."

"Has anyone on your team ever had a triple-double?"

The fans of other teams were critically attacked, and the Lakers fans were speechless.

Not to mention, Lakers players really haven't had a triple-double this season.

Not only this season, but only one of the Lakers' 15 players this season has had a triple-double in their careers, and that person is O'Neal, who scored 24 points, 28 rebounds and 15 blocks in the sophomore regular season against the Nets.

Touting and watching, he was very happy, but Li Ao turned off the computer before he was about to float again.

He turned on the system screen and looked at the two tips of 5,000 achievement points for winning a triple-double in his rookie season and 10,000 achievement points for breaking the record for the youngest triple-double in history.

Now that he has saved up 77,595 achievement points, he still needs to work hard!

After 10 consecutive wins, the rate of accumulation of achievement points decreases sharply, and these achievement points are not enough, and they need to be used more in the summer.

He calculated that this summer's training time might be shorter than last year's, but the consumption in a single day would be even greater, because he had more content to train and the level of training tasks increased.

The body was no longer sweating, Li Ao turned off the system screen, went to take a shower, packed his luggage, and came to the living room, where his mother had already cooked the meal.

Zhou Limei rushed over as soon as the visa issue was handled, due to the nature of her son's work, she was going to stay here until Vivian finished her confinement, and Vivian was very interested after hearing about the confinement.

Li Weidong had to arrange the work of the factory and come over again, and he had to run at both ends.

He's quite happy to come to Eagle Sauce's house to practice speaking.

In Li Ao's eyes, his father is really awesome to talk and laugh with others in broken English, but in his father's heart, he feels quite embarrassed, he wants to practice a Californian accent like his son, and no one can lose to his son.

The ward of the Beverly Hills Sanatorium, Kobe Bryant has already arranged, a year of queuing or something, that's called the selling point, Kobe Bryant has not been in vain in Los Angeles all these years, this little thing can be easily done.

Li Ao was going to wait for the next Texas three-in-a-row to invite the exploding head to dinner to express his gratitude.

Familiar to familiar, troublesome to trouble, there should be no less human contacts.

After breakfast, before Li Ao left for the airport, his mother found him and said a few words, although Vivian is beautiful and sexy, but before the child is born, he has to refrain from it.

What kind of virtue is a cub, being a mother knows best.

Relying on his little face and sweet mouth, he soaked in class flowers in junior high school and coaxed the beautiful young lady who was studying in college in the neighbor's house to say that he would wait for him to grow up...... As a result, he was kicked to the United States by the young lady's grandfather.

Li Ao felt that his mother was overwhelmed, and the assistant aunt was ready to shake Jessica or Liz Kapan over at any time to prevent accidents......

…

On March 12, the Clippers traveled to the Toyota Center in Houston to challenge the Rockets.

This game, the Rockets can't play.

The top scorer Mobley, good at mid-to-long range shooting, back play, comprehensive scoring means, but all items are not top-notch, every time he encounters a tough opponent on defense, the score and shooting rate have dropped sharply, suitable as a three-leader, secondary scorer, unable to attack, organizational offensive performance is lower than the average of players with the same ball possession.

Francis was enough to choke Margety, and now there's another Matt Harprin to hit the streets......

The most critical thing is that in recent games, Olajuwon took the initiative to 'stop injured' because of conflicts with the management.

The Rockets gave Olajuwon a three-year, $13 million $1 million pension contract, he was not satisfied with the price, during the All-Star weekend, the 37-year-old said that he was greater than Malone and Stockton combined, and he didn't ask for a two-year, $29 million contract that Malone got in '99, but it was higher than Stockton's two-year $22 million.

I don't know if the Jazz team did it on purpose, two days after Olajuwon said this, the Jazz officially announced that the 2-year 14.5 million US dollar and Stockton completed the contract extension, and the 2-year 37.6 million US dollar and Malone completed the contract extension.

Now Olajuwon can't take it back, and the relationship with the Rockets has become even more strained.

Olajuwon was 'injured', the two shots in the backcourt were restrained, and only Morris Taylor was left on the inside, but Morris Taylor didn't understand why Odom and O'Neal Jr. defended him so actively.

In fact, this is the grudge of the Clippers' twin towers......

Morris Taylor averaged 17 points, 6 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game with the Clippers last season, and if he can stay with the team, Odom and O'Neal Jr. will have a lot less offensive and defensive pressure on the inside, and his salary is not high, 2.25 million US dollars this season.

And his performance this season is very good, even Alexander's picky people have given him a five-year, $40 million contract extension.

The Clippers worked hard defensively and were active throughout the game, and the Rockets scored 21 points, 24 points, 21 points, and 21 points in the fourth quarter.

On the offensive side, Li Ao's back hit is showing its glory tonight!

9 back hits, 5 of 8 shots, and also sent a back score of three points in the bottom corner!

Of course, the main thing is that no one on the Rockets can prevent him from hitting his back.

Mobley was too short, Shanton Anderson couldn't stand it, and Tomjanovic even used Morris Taylor to defend it, but Li Ao turned and burst into the baseline to draw an assist.

Li Ao shot 12 of 22 from the field, including 2 of 5 three-pointers, plus 6 of 6 free throws, scored 32 points, 5 boards, 6 assists and 4 blocks, and led the Clippers to a 99-87 victory over the Rockets and won three consecutive victories!

On March 14, the Clippers came to San Antonio, the second stop in Texas, and beat the Spurs 104-89 on the road.

Li Ao riveted his strength tonight, he worked hard, he worked hard, he was tenacious...... He shot 3-of-13.

He ran outside the three-point line, and when he received the ball, there were two people in front of him, one sticking to the basket and one blocking the breakthrough.

How honored was he to deserve such a defense?

Ask for a commuter pass!
