Looking at Kidd's fierce appearance, Li Ao muttered: "What are you doing so irritable, what's wrong with shooting together when the court is so big, was it that you were beaten by your wife again?" ”

By the time Kidd reacted, someone was already hurtling out of the three-point line at his 92 pace.

(へ╬)

Kidd looked viciously at Gerald Wallace, who was holding the ball under the basket.

Gerard Wallace looked confused - it's not that I'm laughing at you, why are you killing me? Senior brother cheated me again!

The pre-match preparation time passed quickly, and both teams started on the field.

The Clippers' starting lineup remains the same.

The Nets fielded a combination of Kidd, Corey Kittels, Keith Van Horne, Kenyon Martin, Jason Collins.

Li Ao came to the middle line, looked at the center on the opposite side of the middle circle, and determined that the one in front of him was an opponent who could not be beaten with his back.

But it doesn't matter, he doesn't go to the low back post.

He looked at the players on and off the court on both sides and found that many of them came out of the PAC10 league, and Kidd was also from the PAC10 league.

Li Ao and Bibby retreated into place and blocked Kenyon Martin and Kittels, but Jordan, who retreated from behind, faced Kidd and Van Horn two to one!

After Odom got the maximum salary commitment, he began to be responsible for bringing the second and third teams, which the Clippers did not say clearly, but after playing a few more games, other teams saw it, and called Los Angeles another big dog, and let the future top-paid players bring substitutes, which is simply disrupting the market!

The executive vice president and head coach of a Texas team scolded the street - how to implement the foolish plan that he had thought of?

However, the Nets also made a substitution, and to the surprise of the Clippers, Byron Scott replaced Van Horn, who had just scored 3 points and 1 assist, with Richard Jefferson!

Kittels is fast-paced, although thin, but the defense is very aggressive, tenacious and hard-working, very good at chasing off-ball pitchers, around the front defense to catch the ball, around the pile chasing defense is very sharp, even Alan Houston, Richard Hamilton, Reggie Miller and other runners have to plummet when they encounter him.

Kittels tried hard to stick to Li Ao, Li Ao turned around sharply and stuck the opponent at his side, dribbled behind his back and pulled a step, turned around to adjust the angle to face the basket, jumped, and shot in the middle...... Hit!

Kittels was caught off guard, and he felt that with his close-up defense, he could rely on the jump to counter interference, limit Spider-Man's back-to-back mid-range shots and make Spider-Man turn and dash, including Kenyon Martin and Jeron Collins.

Li Ao ran around the bottom line and came out, completely unable to get rid of the pursuit.

"Beep"

And it's not just a combination of him and Bibby, it's a strengthened version!

Especially the retreat, Li Ao was not given the slightest chance.

Li Ao ran normally, and after the bottom line was covered by O'Neal Jr., Van Horn disappeared.

Switching between offense and defense, Kidd advanced to the front court and tried to break through Bibby, but the breakthrough only relied on explosive speed and strong body He was blocked by the equally strong Bibby.

It's time for the official pause.

As a result, the other party used a trick he didn't expect!

Li Ao retreated in the cheers, and the role of the combination of actual combat + training was reflected.

Kidd burst into the three-point line and gave the ball to Van Horn, who followed up to the top arc, Jordan pounced to defend the three points, Van Horn passed again, Kidd received the return pass, grabbed Li Ao and made a quick layup before shrinking into place......

Opposite coach, you are the leading quarterback of the Showtime dynasty! The offense is so smooth, it's not about how to play the offense better, but about strengthening the defense to cope with the improvement of their Clippers' forward defense?

Kidd scolded, 'It's too slow,' gesturing his teammates to get ready to move.

Kenyon Martin was in place, Kidd came to the free throw line and cut off Jordan's pass to the high post, and Jason Collins blocked O'Neal Jr. on the left side of the three-second zone to get O'Neal Jr. into the basket.

Kidd can pass the ball in the middle like he does with Spider-Man, while still being able to pass the ball to the right teammate at the right time like Bibby does.

In fact, after the ball was passed, Jordan also felt impulsive, but when the game was completed, he felt that Spider-Man's execution was really strong, and he thought of a way to use it immediately.

But the Kidd attack is too strong!

Kittels split the ball to Kidd, and Kidd didn't stop the ball and immediately set the second set.

He really didn't expect the opponent to use this method to break their cut-off pass defense, and Jordan really dared to pass! But if he had realized it in advance, he would have broken the ball if he had jumped up earlier.

The two teams directly filled up the defense, and the court began to be filled with hand-to-hand combat and confrontation, and the offensive cores of both sides tried to think on the offensive end, but the effect was average.

This long arm, he recognizes, Spider-Man!

He quickly turned around and stuck to Li Ao to prevent Li Ao from retreating and shooting, but Li Ao didn't stop the ball, and sent the ball to the basket, O'Neal Jr. bypassed Jason Collins, and caught the ball under the basket and hit a layup!

Kittels was also the first to get down.

The Wildcats' old rival Richard Jefferson came on the court, and the Nets' defense improved by at least half a gear.

As he expected, Kenyon Martin received the ball and did not shoot, but dribbled two steps to jump to attack the frame, facing O'Neal Jr.'s top defense and Li Ao's supplementary defense, Kenyon Martin Although he was not capped, he threw directly over the bridge and did not touch.

On the weak side, Kenyon Martin ran back and cut in, caught the ball and flew to the layup!

Li Ao's eyes lit up, this transmission and cutting cooperation, it's so beautiful, I want to learn!

Byron Scott replaces Jason Collins with big center Todd Marcolocchi and Kittels with defensive guard Anthony Johnson.

Kittels faced Jordan's defense, his quick steps accelerated the first step and directly passed Jordan, at the same time, Kidd raised from the bottom line to the high position, Bibby saw Kittles pass Jordan on the way to chase Kidd, and immediately made up for it.

This time the ball did not go through Kidd's hand, Kittels burst to the right side of the three-second zone, O'Neal Jr. blocked it with his arms outstretched, Kittels passed the ball to the left side, Kenyon Martin helped Richard Jefferson block and get rid of Matt Harprin hand-to-hand combat to cut into the ball, take off, and dunk ...... "snap"......

Li Ao, who pounced on him, confiscated his feet and knocked Kidd over, and the referee blew the whistle and the ball went into the frame.

Jordan came to the right side of the three-second zone to catch the ball and hit Kittels with his back.

Kidd patted his head in annoyance, he should have put the ball under the basket, Van Horn was next to Li Ao, Li Ao had no chance to shoot, but he was caught by Li Ao from the head, lost his calm judgment for a while, and made the wrong defensive choice.

Li Ao regretfully retreated...... Hurry up and retreat!

When Kenyon Martin heard the "bang", he didn't even look at the basket and rushed straight to the court!

Jason Collins jammed Odom, and Kidd stepped back to grab the defensive rebound and immediately pushed back to counterattack.

Kidd was just a bit of a belly attack, not affected by the gains and losses of an offense, and he thought it would be a very good choice to replace Van Horn to strengthen the defense + prevent the pitcher from being consumed by the opposing lineback.

Although the assets of the Lakers owners are not ranked in the NBA, they are willing to spend money, and they are the first team in the NBA to give more than $5 million to the bench.

He came to the right baseline to receive Jordan's pass, Kenyon Martin, who was sandwiching Jordan, made up for him, he took a step away from the ball, Kenyon Martin immediately posted it, he passed the ball back to Jordan who retreated to the free throw line, Jordan received the ball and shot it against Kidd...... The opportunity was good, but unfortunately it didn't go in.

When it came to the Nets' offense, Kittels and Kidd did the same for the previous round of offense, and Li Ao saw Kenyon Martin cut in and chose to shrink the defense.

When the Clippers attacked, Li Ao ran to the front court and found that the person who defended him had changed, becoming Van Horn, and he decisively pulled away from the run.

After the two teams made a substitution, Kidd executed the penalty and hit it steadily.

"Huh"

In the face of Kittels' close defense, Jordan was difficult to get rid of the opponent with a long shot, and his speed was not as fast as Li Ao, so he chose to turn around and rush forward with one step.

Matt Halprin completes half of his share of 1-2 assists per night.

The Clippers replaced Matt Hardlin and the Nets replaced Richard Jefferson, and the two teams' style of play suddenly changed from a rivalry to an iron-blooded battle, and the silky switch of play made the commentators, fans, and even the players of both teams tingle.

He also noticed something he didn't notice last season – Kidd's positional movement was no worse than his, no, even better.

He went to the high post, Jordan pulled to the weak side, Odom went to the baseline, O'Neal Jr. was on the edge of the three-second zone, and Bibby hoisted the ball to him.

This ball, although the action is still a little hasty and anxious, but relying on the horizontal pull bonus of the 'vertical master', the overall action is quite smooth, and the first ball of the 'perfect warm-up' start feels hot, and the shooting feels excellent.

Now the Clippers are playing harder, making Cuban, Dolan, and Paul Allen all call them insiders.

Li Ao complained, "It's true that whoever comes to the east will be contaminated with iron-blooded vices."

It's a multi-pass tie that the Nets didn't see at all last season.

Kidd continued to pass the ball to Kittels.

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

Jordan guarded the defensive rebound, and Li Ao wanted to fight back, but Kidd had already stepped back with Kittels and Richard Jefferson.

Slow-paced positional battles, confrontation and grinding defense, and suddenly start running and bombing...... The Clippers knew that this was the Nets' new rhythm of play this season, but when they really encountered it, they were still caught off guard.

8-4, the Nets lead by 4 points!

When it came to the Clippers' offense, Matt Halprin lived up to Gentry's evaluation of 'a player who can score when he came up', Jordan broke through alone, Matt Halprin seized the opportunity to cut in and catch the ball, and after entering the interior line, he faced Jason Collins and posted an inside pass to O'Neal Jr., and O'Neal Jr. hit a close-range shot from the left side of the three-second zone!

Kidd scored effectively and got a penalty!

Kidd was a little speechless, his teammates are self-reliant, and they are better than the Suns, who are both pennies and Gogliotta, and the Suns have no other players who can organize the offense except for Clifford Robinson.

Gentry replaced Odom for Matt Harprin, which the Nets expected.

But Kittels' teammate can only simply organize the attack, only see the opportunity, but do not see the real danger.

This substitute is the new recruit Elden Campbell who will come to the Clippers in the future, the rookie selected by the Lakers in 90, after the Lakers introduced O'Neal in the summer of 96, the SuperSonics gave a 3-year 21 million US dollar offer, the purpose is obvious, the logo man did not let the other party succeed, and the matching contract left him with this big center weighing nearly 130 kilograms, for which he also let O'Neal play as a big forward for a year, and in the 97-98 season, the player whose salary ranked 7th among the centers in the season was played as a substitute, It set a new record for the highest annual salary of an NBA bench player at that time.

Li Ao stretched out his hand from the back of Kenyon Martin's head and slapped the opponent out of bounds with one palm!

It's so fast! And Kidd's passing combing, so that the two passes cut off the Clippers' defensive coordination like a scalpel.

Pretty good defensive cut-off!

Kidd was ready to shrink the guard after Jordan's strong shot, but suddenly someone stuck to him from behind, and before he could turn his head to see who it was, he saw Jordan pass the ball in his direction.

O'Neal Jr. just scored, Jason Collins immediately picked up the ball and sent it to Kidd, and the Nets started a fast break!

The Clippers, who had just been counterattacked once, were prepared this time, Bibby, Li Ao, and Matt Halprin quickly retreated, and Kidd couldn't get the ball, so he had to slow down after crossing the halfway line, waiting for Jason Collins to run over to contain the defense on the inside and fall into a positional battle.

Kittels played Biby better, he received the ball and dipped a shot, Bibby had to stick to it, and he easily burst inside.

Switching offense and defense, Li Ao and Jordan did not cooperate as much as in the previous round, that kind of clever play, it is okay to come once coldly, and if there are more, it will be a joke.

Jordan moved aggressively, blocking the space on the left side of Kidd's pass, Kidd passed the ball back to Kittels, Kittels passed again, Van Horn pulled away from the left three-point line, and caught the ball for a three-point shot...... Hit!

In this ball, Li Ao felt that their defensive coordination had done a good job.

The Nets continued to attack, Kidd came to serve outside the bounds, Jason Collins under the basket, Kittels on the wing, and Richard Jefferson on the cut were all blocked, and he sent the ball to the free Kenyon Martin and ran straight to the backcourt.

Another big dog in Los Angeles is, naturally, the Lakers.

It's no wonder that Gui is the No. 8 pick of the 96 Golden Generation, but after playing in the second year, he was abandoned by the Nets to be used as a 3D, and there is really no Van Horn on the offensive end.

O'Neal Jr. beats Jason Collins to win the jump ball, and the Clippers attack first!

Li Ao came to the front court and was stared at by mosquitoes.

Although the counterattack didn't work, it created a misalignment, and the defender Kidd met was Jordan.

Kidd didn't continue to play singles, he passed the ball to the pulled out Kittels and ran to the right baseline.

Before he was bored with his head training behind the dribble and turned to shoot, he practiced very hard, but he always didn't know the essentials, and in the game with the Lakers, he was forced to try Kobe Bryant's defense, and he played it, and it was all at once! Found the feeling!

Usually, they seamlessly switch rhythms after playing a few rounds at the beginning, and hit the opponent by surprise, even when the two teams play the Lakers, it can have an effect, but tonight they encountered such a situation by themselves, which is quite new.

He jumped up to grab the ball, and a hand reached out from his head to take the ball down!

Always in a position where he can pick up his teammates, which he has done better than he has ever done.

At this time, a low whistle sounded, and the technical desk prompted a substitution.

Both of these are extremely good players, the latter is known as the most capable guard, and the former is a standard case of eating the 'shark dividend', averaging 4.1 points and 2.7 rebounds per game last season, and received a five-year $26 million mid-range contract offer from the Kings in the offseason, and the Nets kept it with five years and $28 million.

Todd Marcolocchi's weight of 127 kilograms, slow foot, can't expand, but the confrontation in the first half of the quarter has come up, the two teams have frequent peripheral shots, he is on the court at this time, and the role of the frame is highlighted.

On Gentry's side, Jordan was replaced with a combination of Bibby, Li Ao, Matt Harplin, Odom, and Jeron Collins, which was also a knock defense.

In the first half of the quarter, the two sides also relied on the first two minutes to play a score of 6-8, 13-14 in the first half of the quarter, and in the second half of the quarter, the Clippers only scored 9 points, and the Nets only scored 8 points.

Entering the intermission, Li Ao, who was replaced, looked at the score of 22-22, he knew that Kidd would transform this team, but after the real battle, he knew how exaggerated this change was!
