At 10 o'clock in the morning, Li Ao came to the Staples Center to participate in the fan appreciation event held by the team.

Help with raffles, give gifts, and take group photos.

The enthusiasm of the fans is far beyond Li Ao's imagination.

When he learned that this was the first time the team had held a fan appreciation event since moving to Los Angeles, his mood was complicated, and he didn't know what to say.

Sterling is really picky!

Jerseys, T-shirts, basketballs, etc., I am reluctant to give a few.

It's really not good, it's okay to prepare a few tickets for the fans.

No wonder you get hammered by a big shark......

Fortunately, the current boss is willing to spend money, earn more, and is willing to spend more, and the tickets drawn are all complete sets of family tickets, or a package of tickets with a good location.

In the afternoon, when he came home, he worked as a hanger, and when he first learned that he was going to Kobe's wedding, Vivian began to tinker with custom dresses for him.

Li Ao wants to wear a suit, but Vivian said no-people come to your house for Chinese New Year's Eve, all dress appearances, people get married, you wear a suit casually?

But both grand and not to steal the limelight from the bride and groom, Vivian spent a lot of effort when choosing the style, and finally chose the ...... More than a dozen sets.

Li Ao worked as a hanger for an afternoon, and he was numb quickly.

But every time he changed his clothes, he could see the starry eyes of the assistant aunt, and he enjoyed it.

Originally, Li Ao planned to take his parents to the Staples Center to watch the Lakers game in the evening, but in the morning he met the shark next door, and the big shark said that he and the explosive head would take turns tonight.

58 wins locked the first place, and it doesn't matter if you play or not in the last game, and you can't get 60 wins.

If the OK combination doesn't play, then the Lakers' game will be nothing to watch.

Li Ao chose to watch the live broadcast of the Mavericks and Timberwolves at home.

Then we saw Nowitzki, Finley, and Nash also take turns resting, with Juwan Howard and Bradley leading the team against the Timberwolves...... Dit!

Before last night's game, he had been worried that the Mavericks might take a break if they lost.

Now it seems that it is in vain to worry.

The Mavericks will definitely take a break!

Luckily, I played hard last night and won the game.

has locked up the second place in the West, and the last game will not affect the win or loss, and the three-time best coach of the old Nelson will not care whether he wins 54 or 55 wins.

He thought of the Spurs' rotation in the original plane, and now it seems that he learned from the elder Nelson, who Popovich spent two and a half years as an assistant to the Warriors' vice president and head coach in the early 90s.

The Mavericks are not playing in the top 4 in points per game, and the top 2 in assists are also in these 3, and the Mavericks are being beaten by the Timberwolves, who are trying their best to get 50 wins.

The commentator of this game really couldn't find anything to analyze, points, rebounds, assists, steals, and even blocks, Garnett covered all the players on the opposite side in all directions.

They simply chatted about the hottest topic of the day - Spider-Man's curtain call and winning a triple-double of blocks.

With 10 blocks in a single game, Li Ao tied the team all-time record held by the team's all-time legend Benoit Benjamin, who doubled in his sophomore and third years with 10 blocks per game.

Relying on these 10 blocks, Li Ao overtook Ratliff in the last whistle and won the block king with an average of 3.8 blocks per game.

Originally, because he only got 1 block against the Warriors, Li Ao's average blocks per game dropped to 3.71 and fell to second place.

But at that time, not many people thought that Li Ao would lose the block king, he always played a lot of blocks for the Suns, because the Suns had many veterans.

He averaged 3.8 blocks per game, which also broke the Clippers all-time record, and it was Benoit Benjamin who showed his face.

In the '87-88 season, he ranked second in the league with 3.4 blocks per game as a third-year student, behind Mark Eaton, who averaged 3.7 blocks per game.

mentioned breaking the Clippers' all-time record, and the commentator opened the topic and talked about whether Li Ao was the single-season scoring king of the Clippers after moving to Los Angeles.

After the Clippers moved to Los Angeles, only Dominic Wilkins averaged 25+ points per game before Ao Lee, and he averaged 29.3 points per game after moving to the Clippers after the All-Star Weekend in the 93-94 season.

The point of contention among the commentators is that Wilkins played just 25 games with the Clippers and 49 with the Hawks that year.

However, Wilkins ranked Wilkins ahead of Li Ao in points per game, and Li Ao also set a new single-season scoring record for players after the Clippers moved to Los Angeles.

As for why the commentator emphasized that it was "after moving to Los Angeles", because when the Clippers first established their team in San Diego, Wald B. Free, who was selected from the 76ers, averaged 28.8 points per game and 30.2 points per game, ranking second on the scoring list for two consecutive years, second only to the Ices Devin.

If the commentator includes Free, the discussion becomes 'third in team history', and the Clippers are third in team history, and fans are certainly not interested, and putting aside the San Diego period sounds a lot more awesome.

With the Lakers losing 91-108 to the Nuggets and the Mavericks losing 104-120 to the Timberwolves, the NBA2000-2001 regular season officially came to an end.

Li Ao patiently watched the game between the Mavericks and the Timberwolves.

Although the three cores did not play, you can take a look at the performance of the Mavericks bench.

I don't want to hear the narrator blow him.

After the game, the TV station posted the list of playoff teams, the brackets, and the game time of the first four games of each group series.

Top eight in the East: 56-26 Magic first, 55-27 76ers second, 50-32 Bucks third, 49-33 Heat fourth, 44-38 Raptors fifth, 42-40 Pacers sixth, 40-42 Hornets seventh, 36-46 Celtics eighth.

Top eight in the West: 58-24 Lakers first, 54-28 Mavericks second, 56-26 Kings third, 55-27 Trail Blazers fourth, 53-29 Suns fifth, 52-30 Jazz sixth, 51-31 Clippers seventh, 50-32 Timberwolves eighth.

Li Ao felt that the Suns fought so hard last night, the Suns lost and were not surpassed by the Jazz, the Jazz lost to the Spurs 83-91 away tonight, and the final fifth was the Suns, the Jazz played the Kings in the first round.

The playoffs started on the 21st, and the Magic and the Celtics, the Heat and the Raptors, the Mavericks and the Clippers, and the Kings and the Jazz took the lead in the four group series.

Immediately after that, the 76ers and the Hornets, the Bucks and the Pacers, the Trail Blazers and the Suns, and the Lakers and the Timberwolves started on the 22nd.

…

At the end of the regular season, the media began to summarize the regular season, award predictions, and so on.

Fans are also paying attention to this.

Iverson averaged 31.1 points per game to win the scoring title, Mutombo averaged 13.5 rebounds per game, Kidd averaged 9.8 assists per game to win the assist title, Iverson averaged 2.5 steals per game to win the steal title, and Li Ao averaged 3.8 blocks per game to win the block title.

Li Ao won the block king and became the youngest data king in NBA history.

This record, the media said it was unlikely to be broken.

A few data kings, there was no suspense for a long time, but fans paid more attention to the 'second'.

Ben Wallace is the most surprising second place, as one of the chips sent by the Magic team in exchange for Hill, he just renewed his contract last season with a 4-year 19.3 million US dollar, although he is not bad in the eyes of people, but no one expected him to play so well in the new season!

From averaging 4 points, 8 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game, it soared to 6.4 points, 13.2 rebounds and 2.3 blocks.

The second-place lowest-rated team also appeared in the Pistons, and Starkerhouse, who was second on the scoring list.

People have teased that with the help of Stackhouse, Ben Wallace may be able to go one step further next season and go straight to the rebounding title.

There are more people talking about award predictions.

There are two awards this year that are not at all in suspense, one of which is Best Rookie.

I have to say that there is any suspense about the best rookie - whether Li Ao will become the fifth unanimous vote of the best rookie in NBA history.

Elgin Baylor of the Lakers, Abdul-Jabbar of the Bucks, Ralph Sampson of the Rockets, and David Robinson of the Spurs are rare unanimous rookies in NBA history.

Another award that is not in suspense is the best manager, the only candidate - Gabriel, the general manager of the Magic team.

Best Defensive Player, Mutombo, Garnett, Duncan, Doug Christie, O'Neal are seen as favourites.

The best coach is widely believed to be won by Kentry.

The most popular award prediction is MVP.

The media gave a list of hot candidates - Iverson, Duncan, O'Neal, Webb, Kidd, Li Ao, Garnett.

The list given by various media is basically these people, and the rankings are in order, Duncan, O'Neal, Webb, Kidd, and Li Ao have different rankings, but Iverson is first, Garnett is at the bottom, and this media is the same.

The list is convincing, as most of the MVP votes are in the hands of these media outlets.

Li Ao is a rookie, and he actually ranks among the 'MVP favorites', and he has once again caused controversy.

In the modern basketball era, only two players are considered MVP favorites in their rookie seasons, Bird and Buddha.

Some fans said that although Spider-Man is very talented and powerful, in his opinion, Spider-Man is not worthy of being an MVP favorite.

In the face of 'I think' speech, Clippers fans threw the data.

From 15 wins to 51 wins, Spider-Man joined the Clippers and led the team to an improvement of 36 wins.

Li Ao's personal performance this season, total data: 1898 points, 451 rebounds, 380 assists, 118 steals, 285 blocks.

He averaged 25.3 points, 6.01 rebounds, 5.06 assists, 1.57 steals and 3.8 blocks per game.

A certain No. 3 player who did not want to be named saw this when he was watching the news, and he really hoped that the discussion would stop here, he felt that Spider-Man deserved to be the MVP favorite, and begged fans to stop the discussion.

However, the prayers of his heart were ineffective.

He shot 42.1 percent from the field and 30.8 percent from three-point range.

Fans who felt that Li Ao was not worthy of being the MVP favorite threw out this data.

Then, Clippers fans threw out the shooting percentage of MVP favorites......

…

On April 19, the day after the end of the regular season, when the media and fans were discussing and even debating the topics related to the awards, Li Ao and Vivian came to St. Edward's Church in Cape Dinah Beach to attend the wedding of Kobe Bryant and Vanessa.

He was glad that Aunt Yu had customized a dress for him, and the people who attended the wedding were dressed very formally, and it seemed that they were all people who had enjoyed Kobe's 'grand treatment'.

It's just that there are very few people, so few that Li Ao feels that he feels that the two of them are not suitable to appear on this occasion.

Li Ao saw that there was no Lakers player, so he remembered that it seemed that Kobe Bryant was not invited to marry a teammate, and his teammates still saw the news before they knew that the second leader of the team was married.

Li Ao felt that this was really ...... It's so much fun.

I wonder what the big shark next door will think when he sees him Spider-Man attending the Black Mamba's wedding?

Kobe Bryant didn't have many relatives, and none of his parents and sisters came.

But Vanessa's face was beaming with happiness because the man, despite the opposition of his parents and the women of the black community, chose to marry her.

The two of them are in a very middle two mentality now - even if the whole world is against it, we still have to be together.

The scene was not embarrassing because of the small number of people, but Kobe and Vanessa could chat with each guest thoughtfully.

The wedding was not luxurious, and the time was very short, and the wedding was held at noon, which did not delay Kobe Bryant to participate in the Lakers' team practice at three o'clock in the afternoon.

Li Ao was sure that this pair of second-class young people chose a free day, called relatives and friends who would definitely bless them, bought a wedding dress and ring, and tied the knot, so as not to have too many dreams at night.

The main one is too late for a parent to stop.

Li Ao's side also caught up with the Clippers' team training at half past two in the afternoon and put himself into preparation.

…

On April 21, 2001, the first game day of the NBA2000-2001 playoffs arrived.

On the 19th, the league organized the voting for the two awards, and the voting results were announced today.

Magic general manager John Gabriel won the Best Manager award for the second year in a row.

In the summer of '99, Gabriel cleaned up the messy roster of the former general manager, solved the bloated salary problem, created huge salary space for the summer of '00, and also got a 41-41 record in the '99-00 season, ranking ninth in the East, and won the best manager.

Last summer, he won Duncan, Hill, and Maddie in one go, and although Hill was reimbursed as soon as he came, it was still an impeccable operation and won the award again.

Clippers head coach Alvin Gentry improved his team from 15-67 to 51-31, beating Larry Brown and Phil Jackson to win the best coach award.

The Clippers, on their part, arrived in Dallas yesterday evening.

The head coach won the award, and the Clippers players were very excited and very motivated to prepare for the training.

But there were still people who were nervous, mainly the young players, who were also excited and motivated to prepare, but that didn't stop them from being nervous.

When it was time to warm up in the evening, Da Q asked Li Ao: "Boss, I haven't played in the playoffs, I'm worried that I'll mess things up tonight." ”

Big Q boldly expressed the uneasiness in his heart, and his teammates, who were also nervous, set their sights on the boss.

They expect Spider-Man to cheer them up.

But the Boss replied......

"Don't you read the scout's report?"

Da Q was stunned for a moment and said, "I watched it!" I'm serious about preparing for the fight! ”

"What's that nervous, there aren't as many people who have played the playoffs on the training ground across the street as we are, so they're the ones who should be nervous."

Ask for a commuter pass!
