On May 6, the second game of the series between the Clippers and Kings arrived.

Since Barkley was looking forward to it, Li Ao responded positively.

At 7:40 p.m., at the entrance ceremony, Li Ao walked out of the players' tunnel with a blank face, did not do any superfluous movements, did not even give an expression, Barkley in the studio was speechless to squint, and his partner, Kenny Smith, began to laugh wildly.

At 8 p.m., the game began, and the Clippers went straight to the defense, not thinking about the integration of offense and defense, and with G1 experience, Gentry knew he was thinking too much.

On the Jazz side, playing the Kings is all about defense, and he is still thinking about two flowers.

Now he doesn't have those illusions, he keeps his feet on the ground and plays basketball, which his team does best.

The Kings also played more cautiously this time around, with Adelman moving up the rotation from eight to nine and Scott Pollard back into the rotation.

The score was 19-24 in the first quarter, 18-22 in the second quarter, the Clippers trailed the Kings by 9 points at halftime 37-46, and in the third quarter, the Clippers took advantage of the decline in the Kings' defense to play a 26-23 score to narrow the gap to 6 points, but the Kings' defense tightened up again in the final quarter, although they were defended to only 20 points, they also defended the Clippers to only 19 points.

In the end, the Clippers lost to the Kings 82-89, and the score was 0-2.

Li Ao shot 6 of 19 tonight, got 14 points, 8 boards, 2 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks, and the shooting rate was only 31%, but the rest of the court was not much better, the Clippers shot 29 of 83, 34.9%, and the Kings shot 32 of 88, 36.4%.

The three points of both teams are all wasted tonight, and the Kings with better three points will be affected even more, otherwise the Clippers will not be able to bite the score.

Peja hates Big Spider even more, Big Spider is just a him, he was 3-of-13 from the field, and he only scored 10 points on 4-of-5 free throws, and he made all 6 three-point shots.

Odom had 14 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists, O'Neal Jr. had 13 points and 12 boards, Margeti had 16 points and Matt Harprin had 12 points...... The Clippers tried their best, but they still couldn't match the overall strength gap.

…

On May 8, the NBA officially announced this year's best team.

Best Rookie Team.

Li Ao led the rookie lineup, with Mike Miller, Morris Peterson, Kenyon Martin, and Mark Jackson (center) also selected.

The rookie second team was selected along with Big Q, Kris Mime, Desmond Mason, Marcus Fetzer and Darius Myers.

The two rookie All-Star players with double-doubles in scoring can't make up a hand, only four, of which Mark Jackson is still a second-round pick in the class of '97 and only entered the NBA this year.

Seeing this list, fans can't help but wonder - if Spider-Man stays in college for another year, how will he choose the best rookie of the season? Could it be for Kenyon Martin, who averaged 12+7 per game? A 44% hit rate of pie-eating inside, how to match.

Can't give it to Mike Miller!

Best lineup.

For a while: Iverson, Kidd, Webb, Duncan, O'Neal.

Second team: Li Ao, Kobe, Carter, Garnett, Mutombo.

Three: Payton, Ray Allen, Maddy, Nowitzki, Ben Wallace.

Defensive Team of the Year.

Burst: Payton, Kidd, Garnett, Duncan, Mutombo,

Second team: Doug Christie, Kobe, Li Ao, Bowen, O'Neal.

After the All-NBA was announced, the headlines of major media - Spider-Man became the youngest All-NBA and All-Defensive Team player of all time!

Kobe Bryant was 20 years old in the 98-99 season, breaking the record held by Magic for the youngest to be selected to the All-Star team at the age of 22.

Now, another talented rising star in Los Angeles has broken that record once again!

At the same time, Li Ao also became the youngest two-team player.

It was Kobe Bryant who broke the record...... Lakers fans cry and faint in the toilet.

Last season, the 21-year-old Kobe Bryant was a two-team and one-defense, and the evaluation given by the media at that time was a record that could not be surpassed.

Two years earlier, in the 97-98 season, when Duncan was 22 years old, he was considered an unbeatable record.

At the age of 212, offense or defense, it is already very powerful to be able to reach the All-NBA level, as strong as the god of basketball, and it is also the first time that he has been selected to the All-NBA Team at the age of 25.

Big Dream was only selected for the second defense in his rookie year, and after he increased his offensive investment in the second year, the defense declined, and he was only selected for the second team that season and was not selected for the All-Defensive Team.

Now Li Ao has lowered the record of the youngest double team to 19 years old, and the media once again gave the same evaluation as Duncan and Kobe Bryant when they first double-teamed, and they really can't imagine how this record can be broken.

The rookie double-lineup, or the 19-year-old rookie double-lineup, Li Ao has received more attention and more discussion than when Duncan was a rookie double-team in 1998.

But the controversy is also far greater than that of Duncan's time.

To be precise, Duncan was not controversial that year.

If you have to talk about the controversy, Pippen, who only played 44 games and whose defensive efficiency fell from 5.3 to 3.3, was selected for the first defense, and Duncan, who was full of attendance and had a defensive efficiency of 7.2 in his rookie season, was only selected for the second defense, which did cause a lot of controversy at the time.

Although the defensive efficiency of the inside and outside cannot be directly compared, there are definitely fewer players who can score on the inside than on the outside, and one-on-one is also better to defend.

But at that time, Payton had a defensive efficiency of 4.7 and Jordan reached 5.4.

Pippen played just 44 games that crucial season...... Duncan didn't make a double in his rookie year, and many fans cheered for him at the time.

Li Ao was selected for the double formation, and the controversy was big.

There is no controversy about his selection for the second team, but his selection for the second team has been criticized by many people.

The most mentioned is his poor offensive ability with the ball, and his efficiency in the regular season was not high, and in the playoffs, the offensive efficiency continued to plummet......

There is also the fact that his All-Defensive Team vote was placed in the forward position, avoiding competition with Payton, Kobe, Kidd, Doug Christie and other guards, and the All-Star team was put in the guard position, avoiding the competition with that bunch of forwards.

This shows that the NBA official is praising Spider-Man!

…

In the rookie season, Li Ao received a total of 75,000 achievement points, 20,000 for the best rookie, 5,000 for the rookie, 20,000 for the second defense, and 30,000 for the second team.

The frustration from being down 2-0 in the series has lessened somewhat.

He inquired about the rewards of other lineups in the system, and the reply he got was that the third formation was 10,000, the second formation was 30,000, the first formation was 50,000, the second defense was 20,000, the first defense was 50,000, the rookie first formation was 5,000, and the rookie second formation was 3,000.

His goal for next season is to rush to 50,000!

As for the best team, after entering the NBA, he learned that the beginning of the century was not the 'era of the big four' at all, it was an era of forwards.

He took a look at it and found that for more than 50 years in the NBA, the position of point guard was the most inconspicuous for a long time.

The league has always been dominated by point guards, forwards, and centers, and the scoring guard has now become the hottest and most popular position because of the emergence of Michael Jordan, and then Kobe Bryant only continued Jordan's glory, and after Kobe, the scoring guard declined directly.

Not to mention that ten years later, the current position of scoring guard is actually supported by those few people, and most of the team's top scorers are still forwards or point guards.

And Jordan's brilliance has also led to the decline of point guards in recent years, many point guards have gone to play point guards, such as Iverson and Terry, who are more than 18 years tall, and some point guards, Francis, Baron Davis, whose technical characteristics are destined to make them unable to play point guards, but they are not willing to only play point guards, and the two of them have created a new position - 'dual-purpose guards'.

If he went to the forward position to compete with that group of people, he originally thought that it would be good to be selected for the three teams, but it was possible to compete for three teams in the forward position with the blessing of 51 wins.

He didn't expect that he was actually put in the guard position to run for the best team, then he has a big advantage, Marbury, Payton, and Francis have not had a good record, and Baron Davis and Nash have not yet completed their rise......

As for the controversy, let's fight for it, anyway, he got the trophy in his hands.

On May 9, after a two-day break, the Clippers hosted Game 3 of the series against the Kings.

Tonight, Adelman made a change – with an 11-man rotation.

With the Clippers on defense, the Kings played too hard.

The defense of the Clippers they feel is not as strong as the Jazz, a top five iron-blooded team in the league, but it can't stand the Clippers' youth, vitality, and extremely deep roster, a bunch of players who can start on the fish belly team, under the leadership of Spider-Man, are desperately trying to snipe them.

It's a huge test of their stamina, and his goal is not just to win the second round, but to prepare for the Western Conference Final.

So, tonight the Kings went awry.

The Kings led the Clippers by seven points 25-18 in the first quarter, and they continued their dominance in the first quarter with only seven players.

But in the second quarter, after the number of rotation players reached 10, the continuity of the Kings collapsed!

The Clippers went 20-19 in the second quarter to tie the score at 38-44.

In the third quarter, Odom had 7 points and 6 assists in a single quarter, O'Neal Jr. had 4 points and 6 boards, Li Ao had O'Neal Jr.'s offensive rebounding guarantee, Odom passed, and shot 4 of 8 in a single quarter, including 1 of 1 three-pointers, plus 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 10 points!

The trio led the Clippers to a 28-22 lead in the third quarter to tie the Kings 66-66!

Tonight, the Clippers forced out the Kings' fatal flaw — no one can play against the ground when the situation is unfavorable!

In the final quarter, Webb was 1-of-9 in the first quarter under the defense of Matt Harprin and Odom, and Peja made 4 all-iron shots under Li Ao's defense, plus free throws, and the two only scored 7 points.

In addition to them, Divac scored 2 points, Doug Christie 2 points, Bobby Jackson 2 points, Tekoglu, 4 points, and the team only scored 17 points in the final quarter!

Although Adelman made timely adjustments in the fourth quarter and only used an eight-man main force, the young lads of the Clippers couldn't hold it down after they got up in momentum.

Li Ao then scored 10 points in a single quarter in the third quarter, got 3 points and 4 assists in the final quarter, Odom got 4 points and 1 assist, Margeti scored 6 points, O'Neal Jr. scored 5 points, Big Q counterattacked and dunked to get 2 points, and scored 20 points in a single quarter!

As Peja missed the 4th 3-point shot under Li Ao's pursuit, the final whistle blew.

Li Ao shot 7 of 16, including 1 of 3 three-pointers, plus 5 of 5 free throws, and got 20 points, 7 boards, 6 assists, 3 steals and 1 block, Odom 16 points, 6 boards and 9 assists, O'Neal Jr. 11 points and 17 boards, and Margety 15 points.

86-83, the Clippers beat the Kings at home, refusing to make it 0-3!

…

The eight and nine days were the happiest for Clippers fans this year's playoffs, as Spider-Man defeated the Kings, a true championship candidate.

As the second round deepened, the eyes of the media and fans were focused on the Lakers.

After G1 won by more than 20 points, G2, the Lakers easily defeated the Trail Blazers again 108-96, and in G3, the Trail Blazers and Lakers who returned to their home court fought for overtime, but in overtime, Kobe Bryant scored 12 points, which was 3 times the score of the Trail Blazers' entire team, and in the end, relying on Kobe Bryant's 50 points in a single game and O'Neal's 31 points and 16 boards, the Lakers defeated the Trail Blazers 119-111, with a big score of 3-0!

Kobe Bryant, who was only selected for the second team and second defense, went crazy tonight and became the third player to score 50 points in a single game in the playoffs this season, the first two being Carter in the first round and Iverson in the second round against the Bucks.

Playing 55 wins of the championship competition team, the OK combination still crushed the opponent, and the shout of "OK combination is the best in the world" reappeared.

Spider-Man next door followed this and made hot news again.

Although the second team is controversial, the rookie second defense and playoff organizational offensive performance have declined due to the overall offensive impact, but they also have an average of 3+ assists per game.

Fans of other teams are thanking the logo man for his grace of not killing, and adding a Spider-Man to the OK group, I'm afraid it won't have to be a direct finale!

A very strange thing happened, the more invincible the OK combination, the more Li Ao was mentioned by people......

At 10:27 p.m. on May 13, at the Sacramento Arco Arena, the Clippers' journey this season came to an end at this time and place.

The day before yesterday, the Clippers were at home G4, Adelman didn't dare to adjust blindly, and continued to rotate 8 people to deal with the Clippers' stubbornness and win the game 92-86.

Today, the Clippers fell behind 1-3 and fought against the water, and the Kings still pressed strongly, and finally won the game 98-90.

Against such a cautious Kings, the Clippers couldn't win another game.

In these two games, Li Ao scored 14 points, 8 boards, 4 assists, 4 steals and 1 block, and 22 points, 9 boards, 2 assists and 3 steals respectively.

After the final whistle sounded, Li Ao took a deep breath and slowly spit it out.

At this time, although he still has to fight every ball when he is on the court, his emotions have calmed down a lot.

The gap in strength can be seen from the first game, the top four in the west, and the bottom four in the west, although collectively referred to as the 'strong teams in the west', but the gap between the teams is still very large.

Looking at Da Q who was about to cry on the side, Li Ao patted him on the back, Da Q cried out, Li Ao didn't persuade him, he didn't open his mouth, it was the best comfort.

Worry, uneasiness, that's a matter of guts, that can help teammates adjust.

But it's not a good thing to be pressed on the emotional side.

When you win a game, you should be happy.

But when you lose, your emotions should be vented.

Wins or losses, joys or frustrations of this season, stay for this season.

Do it again next season!

1-4 out, Spider-Man's rookie season is over!

Ask for a commuter pass!
