On Jordan's side, when Li Ao and Odom started a fast attack, he followed, although he definitely couldn't keep up, but he went through a process.

Coincidentally, when he ran near the middle circle, he happened to hear what Li Ao said to Billups, and his eyes instantly widened like copper bells.

Li Ao noticed that the god of basketball was also beside him, and he was startled, and immediately added: "Michael, you are currently the best detective in history." ”

Jordan retreated satisfied, but suddenly raised an eyebrow after retreating, for now?

He couldn't help but sneer, this was really in line with the big spider's loving character.

On the other side, Billups silently ran back to the basket to receive the serve, and when he pushed in, he couldn't see any emotional fluctuations in his expression, which surprised him.

Looking at the style of play, he thought that Billups was the flamboyant and impulsive type of Terry and Van Exel, but it didn't seem to be.

Billups pushed beyond the three-point line and continued to block singles, and in the face of Odom's switch, he stepped back and shot a two-point shot...... It was iron again, but Joe Smith immediately went down after the block, grabbed the ball into the basket before O'Neal Jr., and hit the rebound.

The timing is very accurate, and the iron is out of control, and Billups is a characteristic that his teammates have known very well this season.

In the previous round, Joe Smith tried to open up the space as much as possible after blocking and dismantling, so as not to affect Billups' choice to rush inside, and this ball, Joe Smith began to take the initiative to find better receiving opportunities, as well as offensive rebounding rushes.

However, although the Timberwolves scored again and chased the score to 31-32, the starting lineup with the most physical strength and the strongest team firepower did not play an advantage, and Billups did not play an advantage in the rotation stage, and the initiative was already in the hands of the Clippers.

Billups waves, but not only, feel that his teammates have a better chance, will pass, after he started to play iron, teammates run more actively, he should pass and pass, should shoot and continue to shoot, the Timberwolves' offensive firepower is still at a high level, and the remaining 3 minutes get 7 points, a good performance.

But the Clippers scored 9 points in that time!

After scoring 11 points in a row, Li Ao's no-ball running position could attract the attention of many opponents, the shooting opportunity could not be run, and the single offense The opponent also moved the defense in advance, but the teammates had more opportunities, Greg Anthony threw an open three-pointer, Jordan scored two mid-range shots, and Odom gave O'Neal Jr. an empty catch.

At the end of the first quarter, the Clippers led by 3 points at 41-38 and entered the intermission and strongly suppressed the Timberwolves who were rampant on the offensive end!

In the second quarter, Li Ao was replaced to rest, and Bibby and Jordan played together, with a combination of Big Q, Matt Harplin, and Campbell.

Bibby came up and took Jordan's return pass and hit a long two-point shot, stretching the difference to 5 points.

The Timberwolves fought back, their firepower is still very fierce, more fierce than the opponents in more than a dozen games after the Clippers' opening game, the first time they played against the Timberwolves who changed their style of play, the Clippers did not have a very good way to stifle the opponent's offense, but the consumption of physical strength and the impact of confrontation, after the Timberwolves entered the second quarter to play team offense, the firepower was much weaker than in the first half of the first quarter.

And the Timberwolves' defense is really bad now, Philip Saunders can't strengthen the defense yet, and the price of strengthening the defense is to weaken the offense, offense, is their strongest weapon now.

In the face of the Timberwolves' defense, although the Clippers' strongest point of contact was not on the court, Bibby and Jordan also led the team to play back and forth with each other.

In terms of stability, the Clippers, who have two major stars, Biby and Jordan, are even better.

Halfway through the first quarter, Li Ao, Odom, Gerard Wallace, and O'Neal Jr. came on the court, and Bibby continued to play.

This time Gerrard Wallace came on and did a good job of attacking the frame.

Whether it's Nesterovic or Mark Jackson, their individual rim protection performance is average.

The two of them will only be able to defend in the three-second zone, and more will not be able to do it.

In previous seasons, Nesterovich's role in the low top defense was particularly good with the help of Garnett.

But tonight, Garnett's supplementary defense Li Ao and Bibby were already exhausted, and Odom passed the ball to Gerard Wallace, who cut in, and Garnett really couldn't care about it.

Garnett's defensive performance tonight was still the first or even the best defensive player, but his teammates' defense was really poor.

With Li Ao's last-minute pick up in the first half to meet a long two-point shot from Joe Smith's defense, the Clippers led the Timberwolves by six points at halftime at halftime, 70-64.

The Timberwolves played well on offense in the second quarter, scoring 26 points in a single quarter that were much higher than the league's average in the second quarter, but the Clippers scored 29 points!

In the third quarter, the Clippers had completely controlled the initiative, although the Clippers could not continue to open up the difference under the onslaught of the Timberwolves, but the lead was firmly held, playing a single quarter score of 28-27, leading the Timberwolves by 7 points at 98-91 into the final quarter.

15 points in the first quarter, 5 points in the second quarter, and 7 points in the third quarter, Li Ao played 23 minutes in the third quarter and scored 27 points, which was cool!

…

In the final quarter, the Timberwolves fielded a combination of Billups, Szczebiak, Joe Smith, Garnett, and Mark Jackson; The Clippers fielded a combination of Bibby, Big Q, Ao Lee, Odom, and Jeron Collins.

The lineup of the Timberwolves surprised Li Ao.

It's not like Billups and Garnett haven't played together before, but it's both Trill Brandon and Billups who play dual point guards in the backcourt, and Billups is responsible for receiving the ball on the wing and shooting, and defending.

Seeing that Billups was in possession of the ball after reaching the top arc and waiting for his teammates to settle down, without the intention of giving the ball to Garnett, Li Ao guessed that the opposite head coach might want to give it a go.

Li Ao followed Joe Smith well and did not give the opponent a chance to shoot.

Billups singled Bibby in the top arc, and the Timberwolves sent a three-forward combination, in addition to shooting and interspersing strong running ability, there is also a very important purpose - so that their point guards can always face the opponent's point guard one-on-one attack.

Terrill Brandon has a speed advantage against the vast majority of point guards in the league, and Billups has a height advantage against the vast majority of point guards.

In the face of Billups' Langbi style of play, Bibby chose to stick to the defense.

Although Bibi's defensive ability is mediocre, he has a good attitude and good awareness, and his physical condition is not good because of his poor defense, which cannot be blamed on him.

Bibby did what he could, but Billups still got a chance to shoot, but Billups had an easier singles this time to shoot two points!

The ball bounced right in Odom's direction!

Garnett wanted to bypass Odom to grab the offensive rebound, Odom jumped up quickly to take the ball down, and a beautiful back dribble easily dodged Garnett's steal and pushed forward the counterattack!

In the advance, Odom passed the ball to Li Ao, who dribbled to the free throw line and successfully attracted Billups and Joe Smith to the pinch and then passed ...... Big Q cut in, caught the ball, flew and dunked to score two points.

The Clippers came up and beat the momentum!

The Timberwolves were struggling, and Li Ao guessed right, Philip Sanders really wanted to try to make Billups wave, and if Billups could throw away again, they could turn the situation back at the beginning of the final quarter.

For this, he even let Garnett play a supporting role.

But once Billups can't shoot, the offense collapses directly!

Billups is the core offensive point of the team, and if the Timberwolves are a top defensive powerhouse, coupled with his offensive ability, he may be able to match Garnett.

But the Timberwolves are at the bottom of the league in defense, Billups can't support the offense, and his way of organizing the offense is incompatible with Garnett......

In the next time, the Clippers went on a 12-6 run to 4:11 of the final quarter, and the Timberwolves called a timeout.

The score came to 112-97, and the difference was stretched to 15 points!

Philip Saunders has not given up, as the most offensive firepower and consistent team in the league in the last two weeks, if they can soar and the opponent's hand declines, they still have a chance.

Philip Saunders is back in the starting line-up.

On Gentry's side, he guessed that the opponent was going to make a last fight, and replaced Jordan, Matt Harplin, and O'Neal Jr., while Bibby and Li Ao continued to play and replaced them with the most stable lineup.

After the timeout, the Timberwolves attacked, Trill Brandon broke through the ball, Garnett received the ball and turned back to shoot and began to fight back.

When the Clippers attacked, Bibby and O'Neal Jr. blocked and broke into the interior, the Timberwolves contracted their defense, blocked and cut in, Li Ao ran back and threw off Szczebiak to take a step outside the free throw line, received a pass from Bibi, and shot a long two-point shot in the front...... Also enter!

His personal score increased to 31 points! 30+ in a single game for the second time this season!

In the minutes before and after the official timeout, the Timberwolves shot 6-of-10 shooting, including two three-pointers, plus 2-of-2 free throws, and scored 14 points in five minutes.

The Clippers' firepower is slightly inferior, but stable, in these 5 minutes, Li Ao scored a sideline catch-and-shoot three-pointer, Jordan scored 4 points on 2-of-4 shots, plus Bibby's long two-point score, Odom broke through and caused a foul and made one of two free throws, and scored 10 points steadily.

At 9 minutes and 53 seconds into the final quarter, the score came to 124-113, and the Clippers still led by 11 points!

When the Timberwolves attacked, Garnett broke inside and scored two points with a one-handed smash to narrow the gap to nine points.

Switching offense and defense, Li Ao, Jordan, and Bibby scored in a row in the middle and long distances, and the Timberwolves chose to expand out to defend this time.

Li Ao received the ball on the right side of the three-second zone and was stuck by Joe Smith, who changed the defense, at this time O'Neal Jr. cut into the bottom line, Li Ao seized the opportunity and stuffed the ball straight to the basket!

Garnett immediately retracted the ball when Li Ao passed the ball to the basket, but O'Neal Jr. did not go directly to the basket, but received the ball and turned and stepped back to the left sideline of the three-second zone and made a jumper from close range...... Garnett was exhausted and could only watch O'Neal Jr. hit a jumper from close range!

126-115, the Clippers continued to maintain an 11-point lead!

With one and a half minutes left, the Timberwolves didn't defend the ball, and the belief in turning the tables completely collapsed.

The Clippers have also reached the end of their strong crossbow, back-to-back second games to fight to this, if it weren't for the opponent's poor defense, their firepower really couldn't hold up at this time, in order to ensure the offense, even Jordan played 32 minutes tonight.

In the last one and a half minutes, the two teams played a few irons and did not score again.

At 10:21 p.m., the final whistle blew.

Garnett had 30 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists, Trill Brandon 12 points and 8 assists, Billups 20 points and 3 assists, Szczebiak 19 points, Joe Smith 16 points, and the Timberwolves scored 5 double-doubles, still losing to their opponents.

Li Ao made 12 of 22 shots, including 4 of 7 three-pointers, plus 6 of 8 free throws, and scored 34 points, 9 boards, 4 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks.

Jordan had 23 points and 4 assists, Bibby had 20 points and 7 assists, O'Neal Jr. had 12 points and 12 boards, and Odom had 14 points, 9 boards and 5 assists......

The Clippers defeated the Timberwolves 126-115, won four straight games, and improved their record to 14-1!

The Timberwolves suffered their fourth loss of the season and fell from second place in the West.

Philip Saunders rubbed his fingers helplessly, he really had no way to take the Clippers.

This opponent is so different from other teams that focus on defense, other teams see them soaring, and they think about how to defend them, sacrificing offense to defend them.

What he needs to do is be simple, he just needs to break down the opposition's defense.

But the head coach on the opposite side, after seeing that he couldn't prevent it, became more excited, and attacked them regardless of it.

And it's really soaring on the other side!

They soared 38 points in the first quarter, but they didn't soar to the opposite side, and they failed to play an advantage in the stage with the strongest firepower, and they have been in a state of exhaustion since then.

If he loses, he can only adjust his mentality and set his sights on the next game.

…

The offensive battle between the Clippers and the Timberwolves made fans addicted.

The Clippers' triangle offense in the first quarter was a sight to behold.

Li Ao and Billups were used by fans to speculate on the stage of tanhua confrontation.

This wave of Li Ao suffered a little loss, although he won, but the more topical is Billups.

Like the Clippers fans at the scene, the fans in front of the TV were also surprised that Billups, who had been in the water for 4 years, actually played it!

The Timberwolves' offensive performance has also surprised many people, since the beginning of the game, in addition to the Lakers, the team that can score more than 100 points on the Clippers has not been before, and the Timberwolves are the second.

Winning back-to-back, Li Ao was in a better mood, cut a high score, and was in a better mood, and the next morning he had a rare sleep, and it was only at 8 o'clock that his mother called him breakfast before he got up from bed.

When he came to the living room, he saw little Roy lying on the crib staring at him with big eyes, he went up and poked his son, and said, "Strange, I seem to have seen your eyes somewhere." ”

The old mother on the side said speechlessly: "His eyes are exactly the same as when you were a child, you just look in the mirror." ”

"No wonder, I'll just say why these eyes are so beautiful."

“……”

The mother looked at her son's narcissistic appearance, and really regretted that she had made her cub too handsome.

However, his husband is also very narcissistic, and often calls himself a 'middle-aged handsome guy' in private, forget it, get used to it.

After breakfast, Li Ao accompanied Vivian to brush up on the Dragon Ball Frieza chapter.

Although he has watched it countless times, he still feels shocked and enthusiastic when he sees the birth of Super Saiyan, and all the cartoons and all the anime protagonists are overshadowed at this moment.

…

In the afternoon, Li Ao left Los Angeles with the team and came to the Denver Plateau.

After a night's rest, on Nov. 30, the last game day of the first month, the Clippers traveled to Pepsi Center to take on the Nuggets.

The Nuggets are a model of blood mold.

In the offseason, the Nuggets traded Van Exel and Reeve Lafrenz for Juwan Howard and former No. 1 American high school player Donnell Harvey, signing Tim Hardaway and Avery Johnson as complements.

With a premium two-year, $5 million extension for veteran George McLeod, the Lakers offered the guard pitcher $4 million for two years, with no other higher offers.

The Nuggets' operation is naturally for the new season to re-impact the playoffs, and they were short of this in the middle and late stages of last season, and now they have changed back to a stable average of 18+ insiders per game, which feels like a problem, and the media also sees them as strong contenders for the playoffs in the offseason.

Then, two games were played in the new season, and their star of the game, Antonio McDyce, who averaged 20+10 per game, suffered a serious left knee injury and needed to be out of action for 12 to 16 weeks.

The strongest player is gone, the Nuggets have 6 wins and 9 losses in the first 15 games, and the matter of hitting the playoffs is basically cold, even if McDyes's return can return to his original state, it is impossible to have a chance to make the playoffs.

However, the Nuggets were lucky tonight, and the Clippers who came to challenge were in a slump overall!

Just played a back-to-back, back-to-back second game and the Timberwolves fought to the last moment, the third game in 4 days, or came to the Denver Plateau, most of the Clippers players were in poor physical condition, and after the first quarter, they trailed the Nuggets by 10 points 14-24.

In the second quarter, Li Ao didn't care, opened the waves, shot 5 of 9 in a single quarter, plus 2 of 1 free throws, scored 11 points, and led the team to bite the score, the score was 21-22 in a single quarter, and the Clippers trailed the Nuggets by 11 points at the end of the half, 35-46.

Under the leadership of Li Ao, the Clippers found an offensive state in the third quarter, scoring 31 points in a single quarter, and Gerard Wallace, who came off the bench, seized the opportunity to continuously hit the interior, and scored 9 points in 8 minutes in a single quarter, showing his extraordinary talent.

But the Nuggets saw a chance to win and played hard!

Juwan Howard, in particular, blamed two teams for his tragic experience this year, one of which was naturally the Mavericks, and the other was the Clippers.

For no other reason, pure anger.

Under the leadership of Juwan Howard, the Nuggets also soared in the third quarter, scoring 30 points in a single quarter and holding the lead! At the end of the third quarter, they maintained a 10-point lead at 76-66.

In the final quarter, the Nuggets' momentum had dropped, scoring just 16 points in the first nine minutes.

But the Clippers' momentum also weakened, scoring just 19 points in nine minutes and trailing the Nuggets by seven points at 85-92 when the timeout went into the timeout.

In the last 3 minutes, Li Ao threw the outside, and played to 11 minutes and 55 seconds in the final quarter, Li Ao faced James Posey's defense and hit a three-point shot, during this time he shot 3 of 6, including 2 of 4 three-pointers, and scored 8 points.

But Juwan Howard on the Nuggets' side also scored two mid-range shots, scored 4 points, and held on to the advantage!

After Li Ao hit a three-point shot, O'Neal Jr. fouled Nuggets center Giden Hamilton, and Giddon Hamilton walked to the free throw line and made one of two free throws to stretch the difference to 4 points!

At this time, this point difference, the Nuggets locked the win!

After the Clippers called a timeout, Li Ao didn't score three points directly after receiving the ball, and he was also squeezed dry after playing 41 minutes tonight.

Juwan Howard grabbed the defensive rebound, and the final whistle blew immediately.

Juwan Howard had 26 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists, Avery Johnson 10 points and 10 assists, James Posey 12 points and George McLeod 18 points...... Li Ao, who scored 41 points on 15-of-33 shooting, including 4-of-10 three-pointers and 7-of-10 free throws.

93-97, the Clippers lost Game 3 in four days.

…

41 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, Li Ao's heart was stuffed.

He was in really good shape last night, and if his teammates were doing well, he could have made fifteen or six shots and scored 20 points.

But last night, the second-highest scorer was Gerard Wallace with 13 points.

Jordan only scored 5 goals in 14 shots, scored 12 points, and his physical strength affected him much more than his defense.

The next day, the new month arrived, and at noon Li Ao returned to Los Angeles with the team, a good news calmed his depression of losing.

Relying on his crazy performance of 14-2 in a single month, averaging 24.2 points, 7.4 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.6 steals and 3.2 blocks per game, he won the first Western Conference Player of the Month award in NBA history!

It was Kobe Bryant, Webb, Nash, Garnett who were defeated.

Webb had an excellent first month, with 11 wins and 4 losses, averaging 26.6 points, 10.2 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.2 blocks per game.

Garnett got off to a career-best start with 11-4 and averaged 22.4 points, 13.2 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.6 blocks per game.

Nash played 16 games in his first month, averaging 20.3 points and 8.6 assists per game, with a 10-6 record, which is slightly worse.

Bryant was on full duty in the first month for the first time in three seasons, averaging 28.5 points, 6 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 2.2 steals per game in 14 games, shooting 48% from the field and ...... from three-point range 25%。

In addition to the three points, Kobe Bryant's performance in the first month was impeccable, and he had the posture of counterattacking and seizing power, and his record was 10-4, but he couldn't stand the Spider-Man team who stayed in his house and had a good record.

Compared with the fierce competition in the west, there is no suspense in the east.

Kidd had a 10-5 record in 15 games in his first month, averaging 16.2 points, 8.6 rebounds, 9.6 assists and 1.8 steals per game, winning the first Eastern Conference Player of the Month award in NBA history.

After receiving the 20,000 achievement points reward for the best of the month, Li Ao immediately went to surf the Internet.

He saw that despite yesterday's loss to the Nuggets, the media rated them quite highly overall, calling their first month a dream start.

The media provided a detailed analysis of their performance in the first month.

. T Sports focused on Bibby's performance.

Although Bibby is averaging 13 points and 6 assists per game this season, often scoring in single digits, he has swept away the title of 'data brush'.

If it weren't for his steady improvement in averaging 13 points, 14 points, and 15 points per game in the first three years, and his shooting rate was quite good, shooting as high as 45% last season, and 38% shooting rate from three-point range, maybe he would have to be crowned with the title of parallel goods list.

Although Bibby didn't score much, his key ball ability was praised by Barkley, Kenny Smith and others.

Assists are not as high as before, but T listed the data, when he is on the court, the Clippers' tactical execution success rate and shooting percentage are much higher than when he is not there, and he uses his unique ability to control the court - ball distribution, to organize the team's offense.

Bibby's performance in the distribution of the ball was assessed by Barkley as 'not easy'.

Li Ao also felt that it was not easy, he often saw Bibby under Jordan's angry gaze, directing Jordan to run, it's good to have a senior brother!

That's it, except. T, Li Ao didn't see too much analysis of Bibi on other websites, and. T's analysis article about Bibi does not have a high click-through rate and reply, and the scandal between Big Q and Brandi is more concerned than Bibi...... Senior brother is ignored by most people again.

Jordan's efficient performance of 18 points in 26 minutes per game, Odom's switch to the second team as a pseudo-starter, and O'Neal Jr.'s steady improvement on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends...... Li Ao saw that almost everyone in their team was praised.

Gentry, who won the Western Conference Coach of the Month, has also been praised by the media for his understanding and use of the new rules to help the team lead the league in building a tactical system.

The coach of the month in the East was Byron Squat of the Nets.

Li Ao's side was also praised.

Although the scoring and assists are not as good as last season, the shooting rate has increased significantly, that is, there was too much iron last night, falling to 48.9%, and his shooting rate was above 5% at the beginning of the season, and it was 49%+ before last night.

He was most praised for his improvement in three-point shooting, and he played 15 games in the first month, making a total of 29 three-pointers, averaging 1.93 per game, ranking 15th in the league, and shooting 38 percent, a league-wide first-class performance.

That's it, the media always mentions the Lakers from time to time, using them as weapons to step on the Lakers, and in this regard, he said - when they are doing well, please continue to do so!

He shouldn't be too happy to see Lakers fans sour like that on news pages and forums.

The Rookie of the Month was won by Jamal Tinsley, who averaged 10.2 points and 8.4 assists per game, and Gasol, who averaged 17 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists per game.

The Pacers traded back a draft pick at the end of the first round and selected a playmaker, which is also a brilliant vision, and Li Ao feels that Big Bird is no worse than the Spurs' general manager RC Buford and the Grizzlies' logo man.

…

After 4 days and 3 battles, the Clippers got two days off, on the 1st, after Li Ao finished the news, he didn't go to training, but stayed at home to accompany his aunt to play Nintendo's Star Smash Bros. that was just released at the end of last month, Vivian also likes to play games, but mainly a side-scrolling customs clearance game with a beautiful picture, or a cartoon-style game from Nintendo.

After a day off, on the 2nd, Li Ao returned to the state of the season, got up early, and went to the Memorial Stadium early to practice.

At 9:30 a.m., the coaching staff held a team meeting.

In the meeting, they first reviewed their performance last month, and when Doug Collins, who was in charge of the analysis, analyzed the performance of each player, Li Ao saw that Jordan's expression was very stinky.

Playing an average of 26 minutes per game, it can be seen that the old basketball god is still very dissatisfied.

But Li Ao is not worried about this, 47% of the shooting rate got 18 points, such an efficient performance, the shooting rate is still rising steadily, he believes that the god of basketball will like this feeling of being able to output at all his strength on the court, instead of playing until the performance plummets and is beaten by small roles, even if he doesn't like it, there are head coaches and brothers who will go to wrestle with the god of basketball.

After reviewing last month's performance, Gentry arranged a tactical adjustment and run-in plan for the coming month.

There is less and less time for them to run in, and after Christmas, it will be the middle of the season, when they will have to fight with other strong teams that have already run in.

Li Ao listened to Gentry's arrangement and felt that the coaching staff was very difficult.

It's all to blame on the next-door neighbor!

Trading Piakowski and Lafonso Ellis for Campbell has a clear impact on their progress and overall strength.

The core purpose of their trade back to Campbell is to deal with the big sharks, Campbell actually has the strength, hard power is much stronger than Jeron Collins, but for their team, Jeron Collins, who is younger, more mobile, and more aware of eating cakes, is the center who is more useful against most opponents.

But the coaching staff also has to give Campbell some playing time to ensure the veteran's condition and also take care of the veteran's emotions.

He remembers that after O'Neal entered his prime, he never lost his dominance due to the opponent's targeting and changes in the rules, even in the 2006 East Finals against the Pistons, O'Neal also maintained an average of 20+10 per game, with a shooting rate of more than 6 percent, and only the years can make O'Neal lose his dominance.

However, this problem is not only a headache for their Clippers, but all championship teams must face this problem, even the Mavericks have traded Lafrentz's big center back, Li Ao saw the news rumors, and even the Mavericks began to look for a meat shield center......

When everyone was suffering the same torture, he felt less tormented.

After a morning meeting, Li Ao's head swelled a little.

He began to envy Big Q, Boykins, and Campbell's teammates who didn't need to use their brains for meetings, and it was really tiring to use their brains too much.

After lunch, he was ready to take a nap to recharge his batteries for the afternoon training.

As soon as he returned to the training ground, he finished eating early to practice the bottom corner three-point practice, and the words of Big Q made him instantly energetic.

"Boss, have you heard, Stackhouse was sent to the Bulls, it seems to be used to trade Artest and Miller ......"

…

On December 2, 2001, the Pistons and Bulls completed a trade.

The Pistons sent Jerry Stackhouse in a trade for the Bulls' Ron Artest and Brad Miller.

After hearing the news from Da Q, Li Ao woke up instantly, went to the coaching staff's office to borrow a computer to check, and saw that the transaction had really happened!

The trade noted Stackhouse's 29.8 points per game last season.

After Carlisle arrived at the Pistons this season, the overall performance of the Pistons has soared, but Stackhouse has a lot less roles, averaging only 21 points per game, and there are rumors that Stackhouse is unhappy with the new coach.

Stackhouse is dissatisfied with Jim Carrey, Li Ao thinks it's normal, facts have proven that when Stackhouse was the core, the Pistons didn't even have the strength of the playoffs, Stackhouse was not the core, and when it was used as a scoring puzzle, the Pistons had surpassed the Celtics and the Hornets to come to third in the East, but this scout was unwilling to be just a scoring puzzle, and it was a matter of time before he was sent away.

However, it was Artest that was replaced back!

Ben Wallace and Artest became teammates and he was disillusioned......

So the battle of Big Auburn Hills is gone?

He's still waiting for that brawl to 'white' him!

Li Ao's mentality exploded for a while, and when he opened the NBA official website, the Pistons' lineup had been updated.

Artest, Brad Miller, Ben Wallace, he made a "tsk" sound, this frontcourt combination, wait for Artest and Brad Miller to grow up under Carlisle's training for a year or two...... His scalp tingles just thinking about it.

But hey, it's the Eastern team!

Good luck to the Stone Buddha!

However, after the Pistons sent away Stackhouse, the backcourt was really empty enough, and I don't know if Billups will go to the Pistons.

Li Ao thinks it's very strange, Billups played the sixth man with the Timberwolves so well, why did the Timberwolves not renew the contract, and was finally picked up by the Pistons, looking at Billups's happy appearance, there should be no contradiction with the Timberwolves, and the Timberwolves are not a team that is reluctant to spend money......

On the Pacers' side, they didn't trade Jalen Rose for Artest because they snatched O'Neal Jr. away, and Big Bird's rebuilding plan changed?

Li Ao didn't bother with these, and he would always know the answer in the future.

Anyway, now in the NBA, he feels more and more interesting, there are a lot of unknown things, and the 'eye in the sky' is getting more and more difficult to open, but the unknown makes him more excited!

…

Starkerhouse, who is considered the leading scorer in the eye, was traded and attracted a lot of attention.

There are those who feel that the Pistons are 'out of the sea of suffering', and there are those who think that the Pistons have a brain, and the controversy is quite big.

Every player with a lot of attention is traded, it will be like this, and many people are even spraying this player the day before, but after this player is traded, they can immediately turn into fans of this player and blame the deal......

After Li Ao watched the news for a while, he put this matter aside, lay down on the couch, closed his eyes, and forced the computer to shut down and rest, not to delay the preparation for war because of the excitement.

This month, they not only have a heavy burden of system adjustment and tactical run-in, but also a difficult schedule, how easy the first month is, this month will be returned, last month there were more than a dozen home games, this month they were given more than a dozen away games.

However, compared to last season, it is still very good, giving them a good enough first month schedule when they need time and need their weaker opponents to polish their tactics the most.

The next day, December 3, the Clippers hosted a challenge from the Nuggets.

When the 'enemies' met, they were very red-eyed.

The Clippers players, who just lost to the Nuggets on the road, are very irritable tonight!

After the game started at 8 p.m., Odom, Matt Harprin, and Li Ao took turns to defend Juwan Howard in a wheel battle, and even Odom played life defense.

Even Gerald Wallace, who was rotated to play 10 minutes, caught Juwan Howard and slammed him to death.

Juwan Howard, who played 40 minutes in the game, only made 3 of 15 shots, plus 4 of 5 free throws, to score 10 points, plus 6 rebounds and 2 steals.

Juwan Howard was so targeted that the rest of the Nuggets had more opportunities, with James Posey scoring 28 points and Woshan Leonard scoring 20 points.

But apart from the three of them, the rest of the Nuggets combined for just 22 points.

The Clippers have a completely different ferocious attitude from the previous two days, and many players on the Nuggets have directly coaxed them.

They were just cheered up when they saw the chance to win that day, and tonight they saw the defeat and the frustration that McDyes's reimbursement brought back to them.

On the Clippers' side, Jordan played 27 minutes tonight, shooting 8-of-15, plus 7-of-8 free throws, scoring 23 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal.

Li Ao behaved normally tonight, although he lost the last time he played against the Nuggets, he also figured out the opposing defensive routine, 10 of 19 shots, including 1 of 3 three-pointers, plus 6 of 6 free throws, got 27 points and 6 boards, because he just scored 41 points in the last game, after he hit a few shots tonight, the opponent hit him more, he can always have a good passing opportunity after receiving the ball, 34 minutes of playing time got 7 assists, he is the third highest personal this season, plus 3 steals and 3 blocks.

plus Odom's 9 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists, Bibby's 12 points and 5 assists, and O'Neal Jr.'s 15 points and 10 rebounds...... The Clippers took revenge on the Nuggets 105-80.

When it came to garbage time, the Clippers, who had been led by an unnamed No. 0 player, refused to let go of their defense......

After the game, the evaluation of the court station on this game - the gentleman's revenge, from beginning to end.

…

After a good breath, Li Ao completely emptied the depression of losing to the Nuggets.

On the second day, after finishing the morning practice, Li Ao saw the news that the Kings had come to Los Angeles!

This opponent, Li Ao has been looking forward to for a long time!

After eating lunch and coming to Memorial Stadium, after the preparation meeting began at 1:30 p.m., Li Ao could also feel the importance of the coaching staff to the Kings.

After all, this is the team that eliminated them in the playoffs last year, and they have experienced the strength of the opponent firsthand.

And this year, with the improvement of Peja's strength and Weber's heyday, the strength of the Kings has improved again, with a 12-4 start and a second place in the West, beating the Lakers, Timberwolves, and Mavericks.

Before Li Ao practiced at home in the morning, he watched the video clips of the King's last two games for half an hour, and it was really strong!

Of the four games the Kings lost, one was to the Timberwolves, and the score was 102-120 in that game. lost to the Lakers in 1 game, and that game showed the characteristics of the Kings losing the chain at a critical moment; There were also two games where the Kings team's perimeter shooting was inaccurate, how to shoot and how to shoot, and was upset.

Although the Kings' ability to attack at critical moments is still not good because they didn't get Bibi, the strength of the Kings, for most teams, can't force the Kings to the point where they need to attack at a time.

The coaching staff's tactical plan when preparing for the game must be very good, play to their strengths and avoid weaknesses, and make good use of their strengths...... But the details will have to be known when they fight.

After the prep meeting, the Clippers had a two-hour workout, focusing on defense and shooting on the offensive end.

After an afternoon of training, Li Ao received a system prompt.

"Congratulations to the host for increasing the three-point rating from 79 to 80, reaching an excellent level."

"Congratulations on the overall host rating increased from 83 to 84."

"Mission: Advance to the top! Trigger. ”
