After the season, Li Ao rested at home for a few days, occasionally paying attention to the playoffs, and most of the time, playing mahjong with his father and mother, hospital assistants and aunts, or going to famous attractions together, and invited a videographer to take pictures.

The NBA playoffs are still underway, the East side is playing very anxiously, and the two division finals teams in the West have been announced.

The Kings advanced 4-1 and met the Lakers, who swept the Trail Blazers 4-0.

Although the scores of the promotion are similar, just looking at the scores of the second round of the two teams, you can see how difficult it is for the two teams to advance.

Although the Clippers are out of the game without any suspense, Spider-Man, Left Devil, Xiao Ao, Big Q, Margetty, and Captain ...... A lot of young players have come to the fore in this series.

Get more attention than winning the first round.

In 5 games, the average score per game ratio was 88.2 to 92.8, and the gap was not particularly large.

In the first round, the Kings and Jazz played a tie-break, averaging 93.8 points per game to 89.4.

After the series, the media and fans analyzed the reasons for the Clippers' loss — experience, offensive ability, and lack of playmaking points on the defensive line.

Playing the Mavericks, Greg Anthony and Boykins are barely enough, and it will be difficult to meet the Kings team with a similar level of defense.

Many fans feel sorry for the Clippers, even if they are black fans of Spider-Man, it is a pity to see such a young team as the Clippers lose to a group of old fritters - it will be a long time before Spider-Man's shooting rate will be black.

In the series between Li Ao and the Kings, he averaged 19 points, 7.6 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 3.2 steals and 1 block per game.

The fewer blocks are due to the Kings' good passes, but the Kings have more passes and more mistakes, and Li Ao has done an excellent job of cutting off the opponent's passes.

As a defensive shooter, he really can't find much to hack in this series, except for his shooting percentage being too low.

The most regrettable thing is that Lakers fans, who are more sad to see the Clippers out of the game than Clippers fans.

They really want to beat Spider-Man head-on in the playoffs, which would alleviate their unwillingness.

The series between the Trail Blazers and the Lakers, the media analyzed very little, except for the G3 Trail Blazers, who struggled a little and struggled to no avail, and the Trail Blazers were beaten in other games, which was worse than the Timberwolves in the first round.

On the Western side, in addition to the rising Clippers, the hottest topic - is it possible for the Kings to win 1 game in the West?

Based on the strength of the two teams in the second round, Lakers fans have shouted the slogan of 'FOFOFO', wanting to replicate the best division performance in the history of the 11-game winning streak of the Western Conference playoffs led by the Magic in the 88-89 season.

When Li Ao saw the remarks of Lakers fans, he hoped that the Kings would give some strength.

But it's unlikely...... Then look forward to Iverson!

On Duncan's side, Li Ao felt that at least this year's Magic team should not be as strong as the Spurs team that Duncan stayed on.

The gap between role players is too big, and in order to clear up 3 cap salary spaces, the Magic team released most of the high-quality role players who won 41-41 last season, signed Hill and sent some of last season's main players, and the rest are low-paid players and rookie contract players.

The Spurs' 7 39%+ three-point shooters for Duncan, as well as the Admiral who still has Yu Wei, plus the Junior General, Malik Rose, Elliott, Samaki Walker and others, should be better than Maddie and Mike Miller plus a group of role players who are not very good.

He remembered that even the Spurs, who had accumulated a bunch of players, became the background of the explosive head in the Western Conference finals, and Kobe Bryant established a supergiant status in the Western Conference finals with the Spurs.

A stable team, in front of the god players, is quite miserable.

…

On May 18th, Li Ao's father went back to China, and there was still work to be done in the factory, so he would come to see the game when it was time for the finals.

My own cub has been in the NBA for a season, and Li Weidong and Zhou Limei have slowly become basketball fans.

Li Ao, on his side, rested for 6 days and began summer training.

The indoor court at home has been built, so you don't have to run so far, you can play games with the aunt of the hospital assistant, watch the news on the Internet, and help your mother cook.

The two team trainers in charge of Li Ao's training were numb, and they thought that they could take a vacation, at least they should be able to rest for two or three weeks, and continue to work in June, but they continued to work in less than a week.

Although the salary at work is much higher than the salary on vacation, the trainer couldn't help but complain a few words when he received the work arrangement from the general manager.

The trainer regretted it after complaining, and the general manager was very ruthless.

But I didn't expect Wally Walker to respond with words - "Thank you for your hard work, so let's do it, offseason work, work more than 4 days a week, and add 500 yuan to your weekly salary." ”

The two trainers didn't complain in an instant, their enthusiasm for work overflowed, and they rushed to Li Ao's house with the training equipment to be used for transmission control.

Wally Walker knows how to motivate his colleagues, and his callous handling of mistakes and his generosity in terms of salary and benefits are all designed to improve the efficiency of the team's logistics staff...... Anyway, the big boss has money and can make it.

What Li Ao has to practice now is shooting, ball control, and passing.

Shooting is still the first to practice the basic skills of three-point shooting, mid-range shooting, and close-range shooting, and then the technology will be expanded to the start of the offseason.

Control the ball, practice holding the ball to cut in, holding the ball to counterattack, step by step, and practice what is most needed at present.

Passing, practicing passing the ball on the move.

The reason for his increased turnover in the latter part of the season is that he is not used to passing the ball on the move, and he used to pass the ball on the spot in college and in the first half of his rookie season, and he needs to step up.

The basic skills of passing should also be improved, as his passing is more and more valued by opponents, relying on the 'transfer expert' to improve the passing accuracy of 85, which is somewhat insufficient.

As time passed, Li Ao kept in touch with the team while training, and kept an eye on the NBA playoffs.

The team has begun to reach out to rookies, and he learned from Gentry that the team's first-round pick wants to select a player from a local college, one of his juniors.

They don't have a high draft pick, and although they are only seventh in the West, they have a record of 9th in the league with only 21st picks, and the 20th pick of the Timberwolves is canceled from the draft, so they can pick them with the 20th pick.

The first-round pick from the Trail Blazers didn't get their hands on it, and the Trail Blazers finished sixth with the 24th overall pick.

According to the agreement, this draft pick was postponed to next season and turned into lotto protection.

Li Ao didn't care too much about the draft, and now their team has no shortage of talented young players, and they can't be cultivated.

Like Kenyon Doolin, a lottery pick, he didn't show instant ability, was abandoned by Gentry in his rookie season, occasionally played in the regular season, and didn't play a second in the playoffs.

If you come to the potential stocks, it won't be the next Warriors.

If he could, this year's draft pick and next year's, he would like to be traded to a guard line pitcher or a power point guard.

He expects Wally Walker to give some strength and Blevin Knight to change all over the league......

In the playoffs, the two series in the second round of the Eastern Conference doubled to tie-break, which was far more intense than the media and fans expected.

Carter in Charles Oakley, Antonio Davis, Dale Curry, Maurice Peterson, Alvin Williams, Chris Childs, Zeon Clark...... With the assistance of others and others, he fought 7 bloody battles with TT combinations.

In the end, the cousin who sat in the midfield and held the stone Buddha had the last laugh.

In the tie-break battle, Mike Miller made 6 of 9 three-pointers and scored 27 points in the game, Duncan shot 10 of 17, and he made amazing free throws in this game, 8 of 11, and 6 of 6 free throws in the second quarter, dismantling the Raptors' shark-cutting tactics, 28 points and 21 boards in a single game, beating Oakley and Antonio Davis.

Combined with Maddy's first playoff triple-double performance of 17 points, 11 rebounds and 13 assists, the Magic won the tiebreaker 104-95 and advanced to the Eastern Conference finals.

Iverson and Ray Allen, Iverson proved that he is the number one active quarterback.

Iverson shot 17-of-33 in the tie-break, scored 4 three-pointers, plus 6-of-7 free throws, and soared 44 points and 7 assists, playing the best playoff game of his career so far, which is stronger than his G2 50-point efficiency and actual effect.

99-91, the 76ers won the tiebreaker and met the Magic.

The playoffs were in full swing, with teams that didn't make the playoffs and those who had already been eliminated, and by late May, the action began to become more frequent.

Not surprisingly, Li Ao saw the news that Wally Walker used Blevin Knight to quote everywhere, in fact, he was looking for a reason to talk about it first, if a transaction really happened, it might have nothing to do with Blevin Knight.

Li Ao's feelings about the transaction are quite complicated, after all, he has been with this group of teammates for so long, and he will definitely be reluctant to leave.

A while ago, I saw Jeff McGinnis go to the gold store to steal a ring of 600 US dollars, was arrested, and paid 50,000 US dollars bail before being released, Li Ao also blamed this teammate for missing him.

The trade rumors of other teams, he saw the most, were the news of Juvan Howard and Marbury.

After the Mavericks were eliminated in the first round, Cuban directly stated that he would not keep Juwan Howard on the team.

Marbury, on the other hand, was sold at first, but after the regular season, he turned into an active request to be traded.

There's also a rumor that both the media and fans are skeptical that the Suns are trying to trade Kidd.

…

In the second half of May, Li Ao spent time in training.

On May 30th, after two weeks of training, his overall rating increased to 81!

Possession has improved a lot, it's 69, it's almost a good level.

The passing has also been increased to 84, and with a little more improvement, some of the bonuses of the 'Relay Specialist' have been lost, but the biggest improvement in this area is the consistency of passing after receiving the ball and moving.

The biggest improvement is the close-range shot! The layup has finally increased to 90!

This is mainly due to the improvement of his ability to cut into the frame with the ball, and the basic skills of the hook hand have also improved to 73.

In the playoffs, the Western Conference Finals, which started on the 20th, ended yesterday, and the Lakers repeated the best record in team history, with 11 wins and 0 losses to reach the Finals.

The Kings are the team that caused the most trouble for the Lakers, with a G1 score of 108-105, a G2 score of 96-90, a G3 score of 103-90, and a G4 score of 120-88.

In fact, Li Ao regretted that he could not fight against such an opponent.

It's a different story in the East, where one team wins one game and is currently 2-2 with an average score ratio of 83.5 to 81.75.

The East Showdown was fierce, and Li Ao, who was purely watching the excitement, was very happy, and the game was good-looking!

On the 31st, Li Ao had a day off and work, and in the morning he participated in the announcement of AJ's sneakers, and in October, before the start of next season, his signature shoes will be officially released.

After the publicity and distribution work was over, at noon, Li Ao participated in Jordan's dinner.

Among the people who came were James Worthy, Gentry, and David Thompson, a famous acquaintance of Li Aoxin.

The content of the dinner talk - training in June.

Jordan is a ruthless man, he began to recover from injury in March, began to lose weight in April, and after two months, his weight dropped to 105 kilograms.

The weight has been reduced, and Jordan is ready to teach Li Ao to play on his back in person.

The other party was so enthusiastic, although Li Ao was speechless, he didn't refuse, and he had an experienced baby again.

After losing weight, the god of basketball should have a little more achievement point rewards, right? I think I'll be able to drop out of the XP pack, right?

After the playoffs began, he hadn't had a bag to play for a long time, and Snake turned down his training offer every time.

Sad!

As for the basketball god teaching in person, Li Ao was a little panicked.

But it doesn't matter, James Worthy and David Thompson are sparring partners.

The two Hall of Fame players teach, and the god of basketball is a sparring partner, Li Ao feels that he should record a picture of the exploding head next door, this kind of good thing must be shared with good friends.

But now he has a problem.

Li Ao asked the head coach, "Alvin, Skywalker is your brother?" ”

"Of course, can I still lie to you, the others are here."

"But ......"

"Yes, I'm just so talentless, compared to David, I'm far behind, I didn't make the main team in college, and I'm not as good as that brother in Orlando."

Li Ao was stunned, the head coach of their team actually learned to answer!

Jordan and James Worthy, who were watching, couldn't help but laugh.

What the hell has the head coach of the Clippers been through, he has been forced to be like this!

After coming back to his senses, Li Ao affirmed: "You are right. ”

Jordan, James Worthy, and even David Thompson couldn't hold back their laughter this time.

Gentry: "......"

"But your relationship with David seems to be much better than those two in the east, and you also help your brother introduce jobs."

"David has taken great care of me since I was a child, and after he became a superstar, a millionaire, he has been helping me out and helping me finish my education, and I went down this path as a professional coach, and it was David who introduced me to Larry Brown, his head coach when he was with the Nuggets."

Curiosity was satisfied, Li Ao didn't say anything more, let's eat!

Today is mainly about Cobra, Skywalker and the God of Basketball communicating the training content, what he wants to practice here, Cobra knows very well.

Actually, he still had a doubt, but he didn't ask.

During the training of the four of them, what did Gentry come to join in the fun and introduce his cousin to them? But no, Skywalker is the idol of the basketball god, and the two seem to know each other well......

Ask for a commuter pass!
