Li Ao and Ray Allen played back and forth, and the Clippers fans were very excited, all shouting for Li Ao to have another one!

Their Spider-Man has two 40+ games in a row, and they certainly want to be able to continue!

It's just that they have one thing that feels weird - the way Li Ao and Ray Allen scored in the first few rounds, the fans felt weird.

Comprehensive skills, can shoot and play back, outside the three-point line, under the basket, and at the middle and close range, the three areas just shoot an average of 2.5 goals per game, and the scoring is evenly distributed.

And Spider-Man, who has a single technique and can only sit at the same table with the blue-collar interior line in terms of ball holding, mostly scores singles at the beginning.

But that's also why the two started well.

As the top scorers of their respective teams, the two are the first shot point in the tactical play, and the other side has made targeted defensive preparations for them.

Even the Bucks, who are not good defensively, have made full preparations for Li Ao's no-ball play, with big dog stickers, Ray Allen and Cassel assisting on the wings.

The Clippers' defensive preparation is simpler, Li Ao defends Thunder Allen with the ball in the middle and long distance, and O'Neal Jr. covers the basket.

The two of them suddenly changed their playing style, and the opponent's defensive preparations were in vain!

Li Ao responded to the fans' calls and came to the high position again, and the big dog became rough this time, and there were defensive actions around the front.

Even though Big Dog has always had that attitude of 'accepting being beaten', he was still active on the defensive end when he was scored 3 goals in a row by a rookie.

Li Ao held the big dog's defense, raised his left hand to make a ball action, made a fist with his right hand and tapped his chest, and then turned sharply and cut into the basket.

The big dog was too hard, took a step forward, and when he turned to catch up, Li Ao had already made a sharp stop on the sideline of the three-second zone, received the ball, and made a jump shot from close range...... Hit!

Li Ao turned around and retreated, and stopped when he passed by the big dog.

"Save some effort, otherwise what if you can't get 20 points?"

The big dog looked at Li Ao who ran back to the backfield, was furious, and rushed up...... Beckon for a single.

Li Ao's trash talk worked, but he followed Ray Allen to the bottom corner, watched Cassel go to the baseline on the other side, and Jason Kaffee, who had some high jump shot, came to him and Ray Allen...... Dit!

The Bucks have a tactic that the big dog singles the ball, and there are a few rounds in each quarter, the big dog asks for the ball, and the rest of the Bucks immediately adjust their positions.

Margeti oppressive defense, the big dog retreated a step, deftly dodged Margety's defense, changed direction, and rushed!

The Bucks players followed the big dog singles to run, the space was opened, and the big dog hit a pull-up jump shot in one step inside the free throw line!

Tall and strong body, point-guard-like dexterous breakthroughs, superb pull-up jump shots, and accurate shots...... Big Dog has shown his career prowess of averaging 21 points per game on 47% shooting!

Lee's trash talk worked, but Big Dog instead used his individual abilities to strengthen his threat in the minds of Clippers players.

Trash talk had the opposite effect, and Li Ao was slightly painful.

It deserves to be the No. 1 offensive team in the league!

In that case, let's attack!

Li Ao continued to go to the high position and leaned on the big dog.

The Bucks were numb, and even a silent lazy man like Big Dog cursed and sweared.

Is it really just a little bit of catching him and beating him?

Seeing Cassel looking towards Li Ao, Greg Anthony took the initiative to move to the right side of the top arc, moved a little with Cassel, and then hoisted the ball to Li Ao.

Li Ao understood, received the ball, and made a gesture of about to turn over and jump by taking a step.

Kassel opted to pinch Li Ao, and Greg Anthony immediately ran to the left at a 45-degree angle, and Li Ao split the ball when Cassel was in place.

Greg Anthony received the ball at a 45-degree angle on the left, Ray Allen on the left side of the three-second zone made up for it, Greg Anthony passed to Margeti again, Margeti cut in to catch the ball, and smashed the ball into the basket through Scott Williams!

As good the Bucks offense is, the defense is as bad as it is.

Gentry's general direction for tonight's game is to attack!

He studied all the games the Bucks played after All-Star Weekend and found that the games the Bucks lost were not because of how well the opponent defended, but because they were more aggressive than they did.

Even the Magic, who defended around the TT combination, defeated the Bucks 109-105 on offense.

The tone of the game was set, and for the rest of the day, both teams played ferocious attacks.

As long as Li Ao encounters the defense of the big dog, he will fall to the high position and launch an attack.

Playing a big dog alone is easier than him running to catch the ball and throw.

If you change to Ray Allen, you can run and play without the ball.

For the Bucks, Ray Allen continued to run and attack without the ball, Cassel launched an attack single, and Big Dog singled out a few rounds to ensure 5-6 points per quarter.

The two teams played back and forth, and the Clippers led the Bucks by one point at 34-33 in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the Bucks, who had a stronger offensive continuity, had the upper hand and soared even more fiercely than in the first quarter, scoring 35 points in a single quarter!

They used their strength to tell the Clippers why they are the league's No. 1 offensive powerhouse! What are the three musketeers!

The Clippers' offensive performance in the second quarter was good compared to their usual performance, but they were one notch behind the Bucks, scoring only 28 points.

68-62, the Bucks took a six-point lead at halftime!

Fortunately, Li Ao continued to score goals in the first half, scoring 14 points in 11 minutes in the first quarter and 10 points in 9 minutes in the second quarter.

Relying on the blessing of his 'cheering worker', although he was beaten by the Bucks in the second quarter, the morale of the Clippers did not drop too much.

During the break, Li Ao and the coaching staff discussed the situation of the first half of the game.

They looked back at the first half and found that the Bucks' teamwork in the second quarter was quite different from the first quarter.

Ray Allen also scored 14 points in the first quarter, 15 in the second quarter, and 29 points in the half.

However, there is a big difference in the way the two quarters are scored.

Ray Allen only had a total of 3 singles in the first quarter, and two of them were still misplaced, and when it was not Li Ao defending, Ray Allen chose to play alone.

But in the second quarter, Ray Allen scored nine of his 15 points with the ball.

Based on this situation, Li Ao speculated that Ray Allen was not suitable for playing without the ball, and while playing, the number of ball-holding attacks increased.

According to Li Ao's speculation, after thinking about it, Gentry emphasized the supplementary defense of Ray Allen when he was covered without the ball, and strengthened the physical confrontation with Ray Allen.

…

After returning from halftime, the Clippers continued the first half in the third quarter.

With 62 points in the half, they have played well offensively, Gentry did not adjust randomly, he can't think of how to play the offense better, and blind adjustment may disrupt the current offensive rhythm.

On the Bucks' side, George Karl inferred at halftime that the Clippers were going to step up their defense.

As a result, the Bucks players are under pressure, and the Clippers started this season on defense, averaging just 92.7 points per game so far this season.

Just look at the 60 games from last December, when they confirmed their main defensive play, to the 60 games before this game, the Clippers have averaged only 91.3 points per game, and the Clippers have ranked seventh in the league in limiting opponents' scoring during this period.

Although the level of iron and blood is not as good as the perverted teams in the top five, it is not so easy to deal with.

Who would have thought that the Clippers would choose to continue to attack with them, and the Bucks players would be happy, so let's do it!

Ray Allen, who scored 29 points in the half, was defended more tightly without the ball, and the Bucks players felt normal, and George Carr also guessed that Ray Allen would be targeted, so he sent Tim Thomas at the beginning of the third quarter, Cassell, Big Dog was the main attacker, Tim Thomas received a mid-range shot, and the veteran Elvin Johnson was sent under the basket.

With Ray Allen's containment, the Bucks soared by 19 points in the first quarter, even more fiercely than in the second quarter!

As for the Clippers, their performance was much different from the second quarter, with 14 points in the first quarter, and compared to the Bucks, their advantage was only 'stability'.

At 87-76, the Bucks led the Clippers by 11 points into the official timeout.

However, after the official timeout came back, Ray Allen secretly screamed in the first offensive round!

The big dog is starting to stand on the pile! Positivity goes straight to zero!

There is no change on the defensive end, as always, 'I only shoot once', I will grab the rebound when I have the opportunity, and the retreat defense does not stand in the front court and wait for the opponent to finish the offense and directly 'fast attack'.

But on the offensive end, the big dog stood on the pile, pulled away on the sideline, and threw the ball when it came, and if it didn't, he didn't move his feet, let alone cover his teammates, so he was almost at the waist.

The reason for this is that in the first half of the quarter, Ray Allen was looking for cover for the big dog.

By using cover, he can help a teammate create open opportunities, and of course find more accurate ones.

Big Dog's 46%+ shooting percentage this season is much more accurate than power forward Tim Thomas, who only has a 43% shooting percentage.

Glenn Robinson didn't disappoint his teammates, scoring 10 points in the first quarter, but, adding 11 points in the first half...... Dear users, your experience time for today's superstar version of Big Dog has expired.

Ray Allen adjusted quickly, and this was not the first time this had happened, and he immediately went to Tim Thomas to play in the second round.

Without cover, he ran alone, he really couldn't outrun Li Ao.

But Matt Harprin, who came off the bench to defend Tim Thomas, has a much better defensive awareness and defensive ability than Margeti and Big Q, who take turns to defend the big dog!

Ray Allen found Tim Thomas to block and dismantle, Li Ao's defensive pressure suddenly decreased, he could not only easily cover Tim Thomas's receiving space, but also easily block back when Ray Allen wanted to run away from the bottom line.

The Bucks' offense came to a standstill, and after the official timeout came back, they attacked four times, and only relied on Cassel to score two points on a pull-up jump shot from the free throw line!

And the Clippers' 'steady' played a role at this time, scoring two goals in 4 offenses, Li Ao met Ray Allen to change defense and borrowed cover to the right side to score a three-pointer at a 45-degree angle, Margeti scored a cut layup, and scored 5 points steadily!

81-89, the Clippers narrowed the deficit to eight points.

When it came to the Bucks' offense, Ray Allen took the initiative to receive the ball on the outside.

Matt Hardlin breathed a sigh of relief that if Ray Allen insisted on playing without the ball and teamed up with Tim Thomas's pick-and-roll, he might not be able to withstand it a few more times.

Cassel wanted Ray Allen to continue running, but for fear of offending the opposition, he passed the ball over and pulled it away to the flank.

The musketeers have no good relationship with each other, one is lazy, the other is withdrawn, and the other is always excluded because of their appearance......

Ray Allen broke through in a single, and Li Ao followed closely and blocked the middle.

can break in, but can't shake off Li Ao, this is expected by Ray Allen, he burst to the right side of the three-second zone, stops suddenly, retreats and jumps!

Li Ao jumped up and jumped up, stretching out his hand to interfere.

Ray Allen jumped straight back, avoided Li Ao's interference, and threw the ball to the basket...... Iron!

When it came to the next Bucks offense, Ray Allen continued to play alone, and he chose to burst into close range and face O'Neal Jr.'s high-throw board...... Iron too!

His singles in these two rounds are no different from the singles in the second quarter, and the difficulty of shooting is similar, Li Ao's single defense and O'Neal's supplementary defense have always been all out.

The difference is that Ray Allen's hand is no longer as hot as it was in the first half!

In fact, during the period when Ray Allen was restrained and the big dog was the main attack before the official timeout, Ray Allen only scored 1 goal in 3 shots, and those 3 goals were more difficult, all of them were shot in a defensive situation, but it can also be seen that his terrible feeling of 10 of 16 in the first half has passed.

If Ray Allen continues to run without the ball and continues to shoot with the screen, there will be no change in containment, and no one on the Clippers will dare to let him go in the open spot.

But the big dog has a 'hurry up and get off work' posture, and Tim Thomas is inefficient offensively tonight...... Ray Allen still chose to attack with the ball in the following time.

In the second half of the third quarter, Ray Allen took a total of 4 shots, 1 of 4 shots, and scored only 3 points.

With Kassel's 4 points and Elvin Johnson's 2 points, the Bucks only scored 9 points in just over 5 minutes!

The Clippers played steadily, scoring 12 points on regular offense, continuing their offensive performance in the second quarter, and scoring 4 points on counterattacks, with a score of 16-9 in the first quarter.

92-96, the Clippers narrowed the gap to 4 points!

…

Heading into the intermission, Li Ao drank energy drinks while analyzing his defense against Ray Allen in the first three quarters tonight.

With 29 points on 10-of-16 shooting in the half and 34 points on 12-of-23 shooting in the third quarter, Ray Allen seemed to be announcing that he would be the SuperSonics' top scorer in the future.

Li Ao felt that the defense against Ray Allen in the third quarter could be successful, and Ray Allen's hand was not as hot as in the first half, but it was not the main reason.

The main reason is that Ray Allen's style of play is confused.

In the first half of the third quarter, Ray Allen took the initiative to help the big dog create air cuts and long-range shooting opportunities, and Li Ao felt very blind.

It has nothing to do with the outrageous operation of the big dog's 'clocking in and out of work in 20 minutes', but as a professional off-ball pitcher, when Li Ao plays without the ball, he will only try to shake off the defense and reduce confrontation.

Ray Allen's operation was all about finding a confrontation and putting himself in a difficult shooting environment.

However, Ray Allen's seemingly outrageous 'off-ball play', Li Ao can also understand, after all, Ray Allen at this time is an all-round player, and his style of play is completely different from that after going to the Celtics, he can't be required to be a pure off-ball pitcher.

Now that Ray Allen's style of play is clearly confused, the time has come for their Clippers to turn the tables around.

When he came back from the break, Li Ao yelled when he took his teammates on the field: "Sail!" Set sail! ”
