Forwards include Kenyon Martin and Richard Jefferson, who have strong cut-in, pick-and-roll, and counterattack capabilities; There are counter-attacking Kittels and Van Horn, who are strong in mid-to-long range shooting.

The center has a good sense of eating cakes.

The Nets' lineup is almost a perfect fit for Kidd.

And most of the players in the Nets are very defensive, and with Kidd's tandem, the whole team is monolithic defensively.

It's a bit like the legendary Showtime Dynasty's weakened offense and strengthened defense.

Kidd has developed the potential of this lineup to the extreme, Li Ao has thought about all the players in the league, and he can't find anyone who can make this lineup play stronger!

The blue tube is really a blind cat and a dead mouse!

When the forward trio of Kitels, Kenyon Martin and Van Horne comes together, the Blue Tubes certainly couldn't have imagined getting Kidd.

However, Li Ao felt that the follow-up operation of the blue tube was still very powerful, and decisively sent the No. 7 pick, not talent, but Richard Jefferson and Jason Collins, who were both combat power, vision and courage were indispensable.

Thinking of this, Li Ao couldn't help but be happy.

Little Colangelo must vomit blood!

Last season, the Suns lacked a center who could eat well and a guard who could consistently hit mid-to-long-range shots.

In addition to these two points, the other Suns have them, and Marion's current Nets team is strong except for Kidd, and the bench lineup is actually more luxurious.

The second generation of Guan didn't expect that the miracle doctor Carter could be so powerful, and he completely reversed the injury situation of the Suns as soon as he came.

Penny played more than a dozen games without losing a game, and Gugliotta stayed fit when he wasn't tasked with the task.

Rumor has it that Thomas Carter suggested that Gugliotta abandon his previous style of play and switch to a pure receiver interior role, only responsible for blocking, cutting, and catching shots, otherwise the two knees will not be able to withstand it.

At first, Gugliotta played like this, no problem at all, but after playing a few games, Scott Skels, the head coach who saw him 'recovering to health', still arranged a role for him, wanting to take advantage of his ability to average 4+ assists per game during the Timberwolves period.

And Penny resolutely implemented the arrangement of the team doctor, played his high position strategy + catch-and-shoot style well, willingly gave Marbury a hand, played a 43% catch-and-shoot rate, averaged 12 points and 4 assists per game, and improved his single-defense performance, averaging 1.5 steals per game.

Li Ao remembers that Penny spent the last two and a half years with the Suns, and his attendance was very good, but after being traded to the Knicks, he quickly faded out of the league...... It seems that the same is true for the Little Overlord and Hill, who collapsed quickly after the Suns were too healthy to leave.

He saw the media in Phoenix break the news that the situation of Penny and Gugliotta made Thomas Carter more recognized by the Suns management, and the miracle doctor's voice in the Suns became even higher...... It's a pity that the former wolf king became a sacrifice for the 'birth of a divine doctor'.

After giving the players a one-minute break, Gentry began to make adjustments to the interval.

Li Ao went to watch and listen, and the head coach's adjustment made him very satisfied, worthy of being a coach who can lead the Suns to the Western Conference finals and the Lakers for 6 games after D'Antoni left, and his judgment of the situation is very good.

Gentry chose to play each other's feet, and the tactical goal was to bite the score.

The Nets are too strong in regular time, Li Ao remembers the 01-02 season finals, although the Lakers swept the Nets 4-0, but it is difficult for the Lakers to open up the gap with the Nets in regular time, 4 games, 3 games are within 8 points.

The Lakers' strategy is to let the OK combination work directly at the beginning of the game, and if there is a large point difference, it will start to drag, and Kidd will not be able to overtake the score with his life.

If they don't have an advantage at the beginning, the Lakers also choose to consume, and wait until the second half of the third quarter or the beginning of the fourth quarter to make another effort and play an advantage to win the game.

The Lakers' 'two-stage flow' style of play, the Nets just can't turn over, and all four games are resolved in three and a half quarters.

The Lakers' style of play, their Clippers obviously can't do it, and it is better to bite the situation and play at critical moments.

On the Nets' side, the main lineup has all appeared in the first quarter, and it can be clearly seen that the Nets have no players who can play tough battles.

…

Returning from the break, the Clippers fielded a combination of Greg Anthony, Big Q, Jordan, Odom, and Jeron Collins.

Li Ao and Gentry had a good idea, but things didn't go as smoothly as they expected.

After the start of the second quarter, the Clippers were pressed and beaten by the Nets!

The pain of losing Piakowski was immediately apparent.

Big Q in the second grade, in terms of personal ability, is already stronger than Piakowski.

However, in the role of a mid-to-long-range pitcher from the baseline, Big Q is far inferior to Piakowski, who has a 46% three-point shooting rate.

As it turns out, when it comes to role players, fit is more important than strength.

Jordan + Odom's triangle offense relies heavily on the performance of the corner three-point shot, just as Fisher is to the OK combination, which is indispensable.

Kidd, who has played against the OK group many times in the West in the past few years, took advantage of the Clippers' loss of Piakowski, actively gave the big Q hand-to-hand combat, decisively contracted the defense, and pinched Jordan and Jeron Collins.

It's not a restriction, it's a lock in the Clippers' offense!

If you can defend it, you will have a chance to counterattack, and Kidd's positional battle defense turns to run and bomb the offensive driving ability is perfectly displayed.

With 3:44 left in the second quarter, the Nets went on a 9-4 run in the three-and-a-half-minute minute drive to lead the Clippers by 5 points at 31-26!

Gentry hurriedly called a timeout, but although he was in a hurry, he didn't mess up, calmly rotated, replaced Bibby and Gerard Wallace, replaced Greg Anthony and Big Q, and let Bibby go as the bottom corner pitcher, Odom launched an attack and strategy, Jordan flanked singles, Jeron Collins used his height to contain, and Gerald Wallace looked for an opportunity to take the pie.

When Li Ao saw this tactical arrangement, he felt that his head coach went to the next door neighbor's house to report for a shift, which was a very standard triangular offensive strain, which was different from the OK combination, and was more like the Bulls' style of play in the last three consecutive years.

After returning from the timeout, the Clippers' tactical execution went smoothly and the opportunity came out, but the person who had the opportunity dragged his feet.

Just experienced the throes of losing Piakowski, and now the throes of losing Lafonso Ellis are also here, and Gerard Wallace is in the pit!

In his debut, he faced the Nets, the second strongest team in the East, and his junior brother seemed at a loss, which was completely different from the game he played in college!

The biggest difference is that the weakest center he met against the opponent feels a lot stronger than the strongest center in college, and the fierce confrontation also makes him at a loss......

Kidd decided to take advantage of this after Gerard Wallace came on the court, deliberately giving Gerard Wallace a chance on the defensive end and focusing on locking up others, with Gerard Wallace taking three shots, hitting one iron, one turnover, and one throwing a bridge.

At 6 minutes and 31 seconds in the first quarter, the Clippers called a timeout, and the score came to 30-38, and the Clippers trailed the Nets by 8 points into the official timeout!

…

"Okay, okay, don't be like being rejected by your crush, although I don't know what it feels like, but man, cheer up, not this time, just work hard next time."

Li Ao comforted Big Q and Gerard Wallace, took off his training clothes, and prepared to play.

It's hard for the 21-year-old big Q to be as solid as Piakowski and 19-year-old Gerard Wallace to withstand the pressure like Lafonso Ellis.

At least two players came on the court to help him create a half-time break.

Not to mention, as soon as he comforted him like this, Da Q and Gerald Wallace's frustration dissipated most of them, and the two glanced at each other, forget it, I can't beat it, I can't bear it.

After the two got out of their frustration, they found that their teammates didn't blame them, they remembered that when they were preparing for the meeting, they received the task of 'trying' to play like this, there were better candidates, just giving them a chance, they did it naturally, it was good, they didn't do it well, and the coach and teammates should also have psychological expectations.

The feeling of self-blame is much less, but the emotions of unwillingness spread in the hearts of the two.

Especially the junior brother, before he went on the field, he wanted to seize the opportunity and fantasized that all the good days would start tonight, but the actual situation was ...... He longs to be strong!

After the official timeout, the Clippers fielded a combination of Boykins, Ao Lee, Odom, Matt Harprin and Jeron Collins.

The Nets, who led by eight points, replaced Kidd and sent a combination of Lucios Harris, Kittels, Richard Jefferson, Kenyon Martin and Jason Collins.

Although Kidd was replaced, he had already brought the rhythm up, stubbornly defending, and Lucios Harris and Kittels pushed the defensive counterattack not as sharp as Kidd, but they could still score, mainly with the Clippers.

The two teams played a 12-9 score in the next five and a half minutes, and at halftime, the Clippers chased the score to 42-47, narrowing the gap to five points and stabilizing the situation.

Heading into halftime, Gentry abandoned the candidacy, and after halftime, the team fielded a combination of Greg Anthony, Li Ao, Jordan, Odom, and O'Neal Jr.

On the Nets' side, Kidd returned to the court after a half-quarter break, partnered by four teammates Lucios Harris, Van Horn, Kenyon Martin, and Todd Marcolocchi.

Li Ao came to the technical desk to rub magnesium powder.

He didn't expect Piakowski and Lafonso Ellis to be traded, and as a result, his burden became heavier.

He's still a kid! Although his baby is about to be born, he is still a second-grade baby......

At best, this is a lot of opportunities.

And he watched the performance of Da Q and his junior brother, and felt that he might indeed do better.

It's better to let the two of them perform more when playing a weak team, playing a strong team and taking on a role that they were not used to before, it is really enough.

Big Q still has to score points in the move, and the junior brother is too vegetable.

When Li Ao finished wiping the magnesium powder and was about to play, Kenyon Martin also came to the technical table.

He retracted his steps and looked at the champion of the same year.

Kenyon Martin was uncomfortable with the look of his fellow Tanhualang, and turned his head and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Li Ao smiled: "Everyone else is saying that you relied on Kidd to get rid of the title of parallel trade champion, I'm curious what you think?" ”

Kidd also came to the technical desk after instructing his teammates, and just happened to hear Li Ao's words.

Kidd: Hey, hey, did you provoke it to your face? Is this revenge for his pre-match words? What a big-hearted Spider-Man!

Champion Yuan Lang shouldn't be irritated by this kind of low-level trash talk, right? Probably not!

Soon, the third quarter began, with the Nets taking the lead.

Kidd takes serve and advances to the frontcourt...... (╬◣д◢)

This parallel champion was really stimulated by the trash talk of the big spider! I actually went to the low post and leaned on Odom to ask for the ball, crazy!

"Kenyan, what are you doing! Get me out of position! ”

Zhuang Yuanlang was frightened and hurriedly ran to the flank.

What are you doing on the flanks?

Oh yes, help Van Horn block the pick-and-roll, the pick-and-roll makes him happy......

Li Ao, who was following Van Horne, was speechless, and complained "Kidd is really a ball bully, Champion Lang is really cowardly", and then actively invested in the defense of blocking and dismantling without the ball.

Kenyon Martin heard this and felt a wave in his heart again, but thinking that Kidd was so domineering that even the head coach had to let him, he had better work hard, how happy he was to score and win.

The Nets ran smoothly on offense, and the ball flowed smoothly under Kidd's instigation, but in the end, the ball returned to Kidd, he didn't shoot, and Odom protected the defensive rebound.

The Nets quickly retreated, and although they were also good offensively, they didn't have too clear individual strengths, and defensive counterattacks were the foundation of their existence.

After Greg Anthony quickly advanced to the frontcourt, the Clippers' offensive rhythm slowed down.

Facing the Nets, who have the strongest offensive and defensive conversion ability in the league, they couldn't play the offensive and defensive conversion, and as expected by the Clippers, Greg Anthony passed the ball to Jordan, and Jordan launched an offense with his back.

Li ao...... He didn't run, but came to the left baseline.

He didn't expect that one day, he would also be reduced to attacking like this when he was not holding the ball.

Jordan hit a high back, turned and stepped back to attract Kenyon Martin who defended Odom at the top of the arc, and Odom cut in the middle to receive the ball.

Lucios-Harris contracted to make up the defense, Odom split the ball on the left side of the baseline, Kidd moved in advance, and pounced on the baseline at the first time Li Ao received the ball......

Seeing that it was Li Ao in this position, Kidd was ready to stick to it, but his save was not meaningless, at least he didn't let Li Ao catch the ball and shoot slowly in a big gap, and successfully forced Li Ao to make other moves after receiving the ball, and he had to shoot quickly, which had achieved his defensive purpose.

However, Li Ao received the ball and scored three points!

45-47, the Clippers narrowed the gap to two points!

When it came to the Nets' offense, the opposite three-pointer scored, and their three-point hand was sluggish, and after Kidd's three-point hit, Van Horn's three-point shot was also iron.

It was time for the Clippers to attack, and they did the same tactics of the previous round, and this time Kidd moved his feet directly to Li Ao after Odom cut in, trying to pounce.

But he couldn't cut the ball off.

Kidd immediately turned around and pressed up, and it was not useless to move earlier in advance, and he could keep up with Li Ao's retreat.

But Li Ao did not retreat this time, but received the ball behind the back dribble to the line and took a step, and Kidd pounced.

After dribbling behind his back, Li Ao turned around and jumped, and shot in the middle...... It's good not to run or fight.

Li Ao is 30 degrees long and two points long and hits again! Cut 5 points in a row to help the Clippers tie the Nets!

The pressure suddenly came to Kidd's side.

The ability to score a three-pointer from the opposite corner dealt a fatal blow to their defense against the triangle offense.

Also, it's a human thing to make a super genius who is the top running shot and can rely on 5+ assists per game in his rookie season to be a corner pitcher?

Kidd's jealousy may be more than the pressure.

If the management had gambled and selected Spider-Man, who was only 18 years old when he ran for election, would he still be afraid of the Magic team when he came here?

When it came to the Nets' offense, Kidd finally launched a fast break in the positional battle.

Kenyon Martin and Lucios Harris cut in on the wings, and Kidd stopped the bleeding from close range with Van Horn's return pass down the middle.

But the Nets' real test is only now coming.

When it came to the Clippers' offense, Kidd reluctantly commanded his teammates to switch defenses - one-on-one single defense.

He can only gamble that Jordan is old and can't beat Lucios Harris.

Then, Jordan turned over with his back in the high post and threw a hollow jumper!

49-49, the score was tied again, and the Nets called a timeout!

Byron Scott replaced Kittles and Richard Jefferson and Jason Collins in advance to enhance the ability to move inside and switch between offense and defense.

But on the defensive end, a proposition is in front of them, should they let Jordan ravage Kittels one-on-one in the high post, or let Odom rush with the ball in the middle of the gap, or let Spider-Man catch the ball and shoot at the bottom line?

The deterrent power of the basketball god is still there, Odom is such a big man in the middle and rushes directly into the frame to attack the frame, not to mention them, it is estimated that even O'Neal and Duncan will have to move in advance when they see it, and this thing can still average 8+ assists per game last season.

After Byron Scott and Kidd put it together, they decided to give Li Ao a chance to shoot from the baseline, and also block the Clippers' team offense and prevent the Clippers from having more people involved in the shooting.

After returning from the timeout, the Nets strengthened their hand-to-hand confrontation with Li Ao and began to implement defensive strategies, whether Richard Jefferson should shrink or shrink, and Kidd should fill in the position to increase the difficulty of Li Ao's shooting.

This choice was made because if the Clippers wanted to play a triangle offense, Li Ao could only stay in this area.

If he moves to the high post, the Nets can easily trap Odom on the inside and cut off the inside and outside passes, and they want Li Ao to be lifted up in the high post.

Li Ao also saw this, and he firmly implemented the cross-waist play.

Shoot the ball when it comes!

How easy this style of play is, you don't even need to run, you can leave your physical strength on the offensive end, although you can't get an assist, you can shoot!

The Nets obviously underestimated Ao's ability to catch and shoot at fixed points, and he was able to ensure the stability of his mid-to-long-range shooting even after a lot of movement and various unknown confrontations, and he was hand-to-hand by Richard Jefferson, and the impact was much smaller than that.

In the next 4 minutes, Li Ao made 3 of 5 long-range shots from the left baseline, including 1 of 2 three-pointers in the bottom corner, and scored 7 points!

During this period, the Nets' defense was shaken, and the pinch and supplementary defense were occasionally not so decisive, Jordan got 2 points and 1 assist, Odom got 1 point and 4 assists on one of the two free throws, O'Neal Jr. scored 2 points under the basket, and the Clippers scored 12 points in 4 minutes!

On the Nets' side, the defense is not good, the offensive end has also been affected, the counterattack has become less, and the strong counterattack can also be played, but the number of times it has been played is not much.

At 6:05, Kenyon Martin received the ball and turned around and threw the shrunken Li Ao to fan away, the dead ball, and entered the official timeout.

62-57, the Clippers beat the Nets by 5 points!

…

There was Piakowski before, and Gentry didn't think about letting Li Ao play the role of a baseline off-ball pitcher, but he didn't expect Li Ao to do so well!

Not only did the Nets underestimate Li Ao's fixed-point pick-and-shoot ability, but the Clippers also underestimated it.

Gentry felt that there must be an element of the other party's despising their Spider-Man's ability in this area, and Li Ao scored 2 of 3 three-point shots, which is unavoidable.

But this really solves their urgent need, and without the transition stage when Piakoski and Big Q grow up, Li Ao can play this role in the strong team.

As for letting Li Ao be a bottom corner pitcher for a long time...... He also felt that it was too extravagant.

With a score of 20-8 in the first half of the quarter, the situation came back, and Gentry did not choose to change the formation aggressively, but resolutely implemented his teacher's set - continue to fight and seek stability!

After the official timeout, the Clippers sent a combination of Bibby, Big Q, Li Ao, Matt Harprin, and O'Neal Jr. to defend it.

Kidd did not rest and continued to play, but in the face of the Clippers' ironclad lineup, he had no way to start, so he could only consume each other with the other party.

The offense and defense have changed, and now it has become the Nets who are anxious about the score.

But the Nets do lack a player who can raise their ceiling, they can play a very stable defense, and they are still sharp when they have counter-attacking opportunities, but no one can step up and take on the task of attacking.

In the second half of the third quarter, the Nets played a 9-8 score, in the first half of the fourth quarter, the Nets played a 10-8 score, and in the fourth quarter, the official timeout, the score came to 76-78, and the Nets struggled to chase the difference to two points.

For almost a quarter, they did a good job of limiting the Clippers to just 16 points, but they also scored only 19 points.

And in the first half of the fourth quarter, Li Ao and Jordan were resting off the court! Bibi also rested for 3 minutes before the official timeout!

After the official timeout, the Clippers fielded a combination of Bibby, Li Ao, Jordan, Matt Harplin, and O'Neal Jr.

Jordan hit a back shot and turned around and hit a two-point shot to stretch the difference back to 4 points.

When it came to the Nets' offense, the tactical coordination did not come out, and the ball returned to Kidd outside the three-point line, and he had a gap here, but at this time, he still did not dare to shoot, but passed the ball to Van Houen, the team's strongest singles ability.

Van Horn faced Li Ao's close defense, and took a step to jump and throw a strong shot...... The entire shot space was stopped by Li Ao's long arm!

Van Horn could only increase the arc of his shot and increase the power of his shot...... When Van Horn threw the ball out, Li Ao, who landed on the ground, immediately went down, and the opponent's posture entered him and he recognized it.

Kidd didn't think that the ball could be scored, so he retreated as soon as possible, and when he saw Li Ao hurrying down, he hurried to catch up.

There was a "bang" from behind, and Kidd ran towards Li Ao with all his might, trying to cling to him.

O'Neal Jr. grabbed the defensive rebound and passed to Bibby, who received the ball and dribbled two steps to get the gap, and the long pass was hoisted to the frontcourt.

Kidd watched Li Ao's speed begin to drop after passing the middle circle, and he accelerated his pace to press up, and successfully stuck to Li Ao when he received the ball.

However, Li Ao stopped after receiving the ball and started again, throwing off Kidd and rushing into the interior at the same speed as when he counterattacked!

'Marathon Level 2' triggers, after a long run, you receive the ball, and your physical strength is temporarily restored to your best state within 2 seconds!

Li Ao dribbled the ball into the interior at full speed, but Kidd could no longer get up and sprint, so he could only watch Li Ao enter the free throw line and jump, and score two points with a tomahawk dunk in the air that changed the ball to his left hand.

At 82-76, the Clippers' lead came to 6 points!

The team that is best at switching offense and defense was counterattacked by the opponent at the critical moment when it had to bite the score, and listening to the cheers of the fans at the scene, the confidence of the Nets players to win plummeted.

Under Kidd's high-pressure rule, the Nets still played hard for the last 4 and a half minutes, but the more they played, the more hopeless they felt, they scored 8 points in the next 4 minutes, but the Clippers scored 10 points steadily!

At 11 minutes and 31 seconds into the final quarter, Bibby received Jordan's ball and hit a two-point shot on the right side of the baseline, the score came to 92-84, and the Clippers' lead extended to 8 points!

The Nets gave up, Kidd was in no hurry to advance, and when he got to the frontcourt, he missed a three-point shot against Bibi, and the Clippers ran out of time after winning the rebound.

At 10:24 p.m., the final whistle blew.

Kidd shot 3-of-12 tonight, including 1-of-4 three-pointers, plus 2-of-3 free throws, and finished with a quasi-triple-double of nine points, 13 boards, 11 assists and three steals.

Helped Lucios Harris to score 14 points, Kenyon Martin to 19 points, Van Horn to score 16 points, and Kittels to score 16 points, but it was still difficult to hide the defeat and eat his fourth loss of the season.

The Clippers relied on Li Ao's 24 points, 8 boards, 2 assists, 2 steals and 5 blocks, Jordan's 16 points and 4 assists, Bibby's 17 points and 5 assists, Odom's 9 points, 7 boards and 7 assists, and O'Neal Jr.'s 11 points and 14 boards...... Comeback Nets 92-84!
