265.Giant Spider-Man (10,000 words)
It's mid-season again!
On the morning of the second day of the Christmas war, Li Aochen returned to the living room after running and saw his father reading the sports section of the morning newspaper, with the headline "Big Scene Spider-Man".
After the three game reports, it was a summary of the teams in the early part of the season.
He wanted to read the newspaper together, but his father read it at the same time, and his brain hurt when he heard it, so he went back to the bedroom to take a shower and watch the news on the Internet.
Looking at the news touting his performance last night, he smiled wistfully.
Last night's game, the defense on the opposite side of the hard steel front, defeated the opponent cleanly, that feeling, happy!
He sensed that his teammates were playing comfortably.
Before the game, he felt the pressure from his teammates, and it seemed that everyone wanted to do more and play beyond the norm to make up for the loss of strength caused by the injuries of Odom and Jeron Collins.
However, he used his performance to help his teammates avoid additional burdens and reduce their anxiety.
Under his leadership, the teammates only need to do their own duties and do what they need to do, which is a very comfortable way for the teammates to play.
In turn, his teammates did what he had to do and he was comfortable playing.
He enjoyed the feeling of taking responsibility on his shoulders.
'Punching the nursing home' is so good!
Hopefully, the Trail Blazers will continue to use Pippen to defend him in the future......
In addition to the bonus of 'boxing nursing home', he is also in really good shape in this game, relying on faster speed and stronger strength to get a shooting opportunity, how to shoot, how to shoot, the first quarter shooting rate is as high as 75%!
He also felt how good the mid-range shot was when dealing with iron-blooded defenses.
Last night's two tasks, 75% completed.
The 'big stage' is complete, and the 'backward lying level 1' is in hand.
When the recline angle reaches 45 degrees, there is a 10% probability of making up for the balance, the probability of use is not high, and the trigger probability is not high, he is a little painful, and he knows that the reversal of the knights will stay after getting the level 2 skill upgrade card, and the probability of triggering to level 2 will definitely be higher.
But at that time, I didn't know if I would get new skills.
Then try to win the game and practice against Snake!
It's a pity that the senior basketball god is difficult to act as an experience baby during the season.
Ask the big brother of the system to do more tasks.
'Full Moon Joy', the two goals of the highest score in a single game and winning the game have been completed, and two attribute points have been obtained.
Unfortunately, Goal 2 failed, and the sugar man had 9 points, 10 rebounds and 5 blocks.
Li Ao began to feel that he was a little lost again, but he thought that he was a younger and more energetic teammate O'Neal Jr. who was exchanged for him, so forget it, this little loss will be eaten.
After last night's game, he combined the two newly obtained basic attribute points with the original speed basic attribute points to synthesize advanced speed attribute points, increasing the speed to 93, and the burst acceleration to 93.
In fact, he also has another designated basic attribute point bullet speed, but when using attribute points, the burst attribute will increase along with the basic attribute, so he generally does not choose to use the general attribute point to increase the burst attribute.
Li Ao continued to scroll through websites and forums for a while, and swiped a hot topic, which made him show dead fish eyes.
Last night. When reviewing and analyzing the game after the live broadcast of T Sports, Barkley said: "Have you noticed that Spider-Man played particularly well against Pippen, 21 of the 30 points were scored against Pippen's defense, and he bullied the veteran really well......
There is nothing derogatory in this remark, but fans will not let go of such an interesting topic.
Some fans analyzed all the 26 regular season games he participated in this season overnight, confirming Barkley's statement.
Li Ao felt that the analysis was very reasonable...... "This fat pig knows a lot about ball!" β
β¦
After breakfast, Li Ao browsed the website for a while.
This time, instead of continuing to tout his news, I watched the media and experts' summaries and analyses of the performance of each team in the early part of the season, as well as predictions for the future.
The first thing he looked at was the analysis of their Clippers.
It is necessary to know yourself and your team from the perspective of a third party.
With a 22-5 record, they beat the Magic team to finish first in the early season and were highly rated.
However, they were not so favoured in the mid-to-late part of the season, with the media predicting their final results to be between 55 and 60 wins.
From the start of the game to the present, their performance, the quality of the players, their age, their physical strength, the potential for injuries, the schedule...... and so on.
Except for the analysis of some reporters and experts with strong subjective colors, Li Ao feels that most of the analysis is still very pertinent.
He saw some of their Clippers fans refute the prediction and felt that 22-5 should be on the run for 65 wins, and he was grateful that the fans were so optimistic about them.
But people, you have to be pragmatic not.
They went 14-2 in their first month and 8-3 in their last 11 games, and he feels that their record going into December is more valuable.
To get 65 wins, you have to have 55 games left, and to get a 43-12 record, the pressure is a bit high.
He looked at the whole league and couldn't even think of any team that would have a 43-12 record in the rest of the game.
It's still 60 wins, and it's more reliable to try to get 38 wins and 17 losses in the rest of the games.
Anyway, the current goal is to keep the first place in the league.
After reading the news about his own team, he turned his attention to other teams.
The two No. 21, one east and one west, were rated as the two best players in the early stage, both beating Kidd, and the three were also named MVP favorites.
Others, step aside.
Spider-Man's envious mood is coming......
But the performance of the servants is really strong, and he can't refute it, and he is even more envious and jealous.
In terms of teams, the most favored to win the regular season championship is the Kings.
The Kings are too consistent, even more consistent than they were last season.
Li Ao also thinks so, and if you want to say which team is most likely to win in the middle and late stages instead of declining, he also thinks it is the Kings.
β¦
At noon, the NBA officially announced that voting for the Philadelphia All-Star Weekend starters had begun.
On Li Ao's side, their family made a big table of dishes to celebrate Little Roy's full moon.
Yesterday he was busy, he went out at half past seven in the morning, and his parents deliberately changed Little Roy's full moon to today, and he didn't have a treat, so the family had a meal.
After lunch, he drove a pickup truck to the Memorial Stadium.
This year, their Clippers are also giving out Christmas gifts!
On Boxing Day after Christmas, it is an NBA tradition for clubs to give gifts to athletes.
But before, the Clippers had not given out Christmas gifts for more than a decade, and each person was finished with a greeting card.
There was a wave of management purges last season, and the new general manager, Wally Walker, had too much to do with it.
This year is finally arranged!
Although the gifts sent by the team were relatively sluggish, Li Ao received a pair of boxing gloves......
In the past two years, the economy has been bad, and all kinds of chaos have appeared, and the team should pay attention to avoid trouble when giving gifts, which he can understand.
The teammates complained constantly, but compared to previous years, they didn't even have a gift, and they were quite satisfied.
What they prefer is a Christmas gift from Spider-Man.
The players also prepare Christmas gifts for each other, some carefully prepared, some sloppy, but in short, none of them are as good as those given by Spider-Man.
The teammates sighed in their hearts that they deserved to be Spider-Man, and the gifts they gave always made them happy, at least what they were interested in.
They all forgot when they mentioned wanting to buy these things, but Spider-Man remembered.
Jordan looked at the gift from Spider-Man, and raised his eyebrows.
There's something about this kid, and it's really what he wants.
The VIP card of the famous membership club in Los Angeles, which is full of stunners who have participated in various model competitions and large-scale performances, and female stars who have participated in the private venue of the Crazy Horse Show, is the biggest selling point of this club.
However, his card is marked with a cigar cutting service on call, and additional services are at your own expense...... The stingy Spider-Man has an endorsement fee of 100 million.
Forget it, this gift also has a heart.
After a short Boxing Day event, the Clippers players, who had won the Christmas game and received their favorite gifts, left Los Angeles for Memphis with high morale for the start of a three-game trip.
Came to Memphis for a night of rest, and on the 27th, the Clippers came to FedEx Arena to challenge the Grizzlies on the road.
At 6:10 p.m., the Clippers were the first to enter the court to greet their ...... It's cheers!
Jordan rejected Gentry's suggestion to rest him again, but this time his temper wasn't as grumpy.
He gave an irrefutable reason β "This is probably the only time in my life that a Memphis basketball fan has seen me play." β
Gentry didn't force it, he could already feel the change in Jordan's attitude towards the matter, and it was already a huge victory.
After the players of the two teams entered, the 'Basketball God Parade Fan Meeting' was opened again, and the fans were so enthusiastic that they were almost in time for them to play at home.
This has a lot to do with the Grizzlies' poor performance this season.
"Memphis Grizzlies, 5-22, 91.3 points per game and 101 points per game......"
The Grizzlies, Warriors, Bulls, have been at the bottom of the league in fierce competition since the start of the season.
Memphis people have a lot of passion for basketball, they have a college basketball powerhouse here, and they don't have a lot of acceptance of professional basketball like Charlotte fans, so the Grizzlies owners chose to move the team here.
For the arrival of the Grizzlies, the Memphis gave enthusiastic support, probably seeing the Hornets choose to move due to poor box office, Grizzlies fans are extremely enthusiastic about watching the game, and the Grizzlies have the highest attendance rate in the league this season, which is higher than many playoff-level teams.
But the high enthusiasm does not mean that the fans will not be disappointed or frustrated, but they are more tolerant of this new team and continue to support it.
Under such a premise, the arrival of the god of basketball naturally made the fans at the scene turn against him, and some fans shouted "Spider-Man".
The away game has become the home court, and the Clippers players are naturally in a better mood.
The Grizzlies were different, angry, furious, but incompetent......
Gasol looked at Spider-Man, who glanced at him from time to time, and felt that he was going to be cool again tonight, and despair began to spread.
However, after the game began, Gasol found that the Clippers were not targeting him.
From the beginning of the game, the Clippers gave their all on both offensive and defensive ends, and played a 30-17 score in the first quarter.
With a 13-point difference in a single quarter, the Grizzlies can be said to have no fighting spirit tonight.
The only bright spot was Gasol, who played 10 minutes in the first quarter and scored 5 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist, showing what he should be capable of as a champion.
But he didn't know why, he felt lost.
Is this that the other party is no longer interested in targeting him?
Grizzlies head coach Sidney Lowe breathed a sigh of relief.
After being targeted by the Clippers last time, Gasol was in a slump for a while, and this time he was really worried that Gasol would be targeted again.
The score was 30-17 in the first quarter, 28-24 in the second quarter and 19-10 in the first half of the third quarter.
The official timeout reached the third quarter and the Clippers led by 26 points, 77-51.
Li Ao, who got 23 points, 6 boards, 3 assists and 2 blocks, Jordan who had 20 points, 4 boards and 1 assist, and O'Neal Jr., who had 11 points, 8 boards, 1 assist, 1 steal and 2 blocks, clocked out and left work.
The game went into garbage time, and Sidney Lowe sent Gasol to practice.
Playing the main team on the opposite side, they can't beat it, but playing the lineup of garbage time, he feels that he can play back and forth, which is suitable for Gasol to practice.
But at this time, Gerard Wallace, Campbell, and Sean Lukes began to encircle and suppress the champions!
No one wants them to do it, it's just spontaneous.
Sidney Lowe saw Gasol being infinitely pinched, and he couldn't help but scold.
Play with him too!
Gasol felt more satisfied than ever at the moment - it's coming! It's finally here!
β¦
110-91, the Clippers defeated the Grizzlies to win three in a row, making a good start to this three-game trip.
Gasol's strength is okay, he played 21 minutes in the first two and a half quarters, got 13 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block, but the garbage time was a bit miserable in the end.
At noon the next day, the Clippers arrived in Dallas.
After resting for an afternoon, Li Ao and Wang Zhizhi made an appointment for dinner.
It's really not easy, I've known each other for so long, and this is the first time I've made an appointment.
At the dinner table, Wang Zhizhi didn't say much, and he didn't react much when he was complained, and Li Ao was speechless in the end.
But to make friends, not everyone has to make deep friends, and he didn't care.
After a night's rest, on the morning of the 29th, the Clippers came to the American Airlines Center to prepare for the game.
Li Ao and his teammates are very active in preparing for the game, and the day before yesterday they played the Grizzlies without staying hands, and they fought quickly for tonight's game.
With the current performance of the Mavericks, there is a high probability that the final ranking will be 4-6, and there is a certain probability that they will meet in the second round.
Although it is just the middle of the season, with Jordan here, their eyes are not limited to the present, and they have already begun to prepare for the playoffs.
The role of a veteran with a wealth of successful experience is reflected.
The Clippers are actively preparing for the game, which also has a certain relationship with the preparation environment.
The Mavericks' away team training ground, lounge, and locker room are all too luxurious, and Li Ao feels that it is a pleasure to prepare for the game here.
The best sports facilities, luxurious dΓ©cor, all-day dining by chefs in starred restaurants, and even single rooms available during lunch breaks.
Li Ao didn't understand why Cuban gave the away team players such good preparation conditions, could it be that everything here has formaldehyde? Chronically poisoning a visiting player?
Whoever cares, just come twice a year, and if there is, there will be.
At 7:40 p.m., after completing a perfect warm-up and nibbling on two freshly grilled steak burgers, Li Ao and his teammates entered the court together.
The boos on the scene were overwhelming, this atmosphere, the feeling of playing away!
In the first round of the playoffs last season, they already had a grudge against each other, mainly because of each other's grudges, but they didn't feel anything, they won.
After the entrance ceremony, Jordan took a group photo with his opponents, and Li Ao turned on the system to see the other party's evaluation report.
"Dallas Mavericks, 18-10, averaging 105.1 points per game (third) and conceding 102.9 points per game (28th......"
The performance of the Mavericks this year, Li Ao can only be said to be a mad scientist.
After the preseason meeting, Li Ao thought that the other party would recognize the reality and continue to play offensive and defensive.
Unexpectedly, the old Nelson did not accept the reality, and he wanted to play offense.
As a result, the Mavericks got a new nickname this season - a weakened version of the Timberwolves.
There are only a handful of pure offensive teams this season, and the Timberwolves are the strongest.
In terms of offensive ability, the Mavericks can actually wrestle with the Timberwolves.
But the Timberwolves have Garnett, and no matter how bad the defense is, there is a lower limit, and the Mavericks' defense this season is ...... Only the Warriors have conceded more points than they do.
However, he only won an average of 2.2 points per game, and he can still have this record, which shows one point - the key ball ability is good!
If the Mavericks and the Timberwolves play each other directly in the playoffs, even if the Timberwolves have a better record, Li Ao feels that the Mavericks will have a better chance of winning.
Let's not talk about whether the choice of Nelson Sr.'s crazy offense is good or bad, anyway, the Mavericks' offensive and defensive players have benefited this season.
The 23-year-old Nowitzki is averaging a career-high 24.1 points per game so far this season, while Nash is averaging 18.2 points and 7.9 assists per game, both setting career highs.
The newcomer, Van Exel, also played well as the sixth man, averaging 13.3 points and 4.3 assists per game.
Only Finley slipped to 17.5 points per game, the only time in five seasons since joining the Mavericks that he averaged less than 20 points per game.
The Sons of the Wind and the Silver Horn King have blatantly seized power!
This is much more surprising to Li Ao than the old Nelson's reckless attack.
What Li Ao didn't expect was that Finley didn't show any dissatisfaction with this.
Could this be the original version of Chandler Parsons? Last season, Cuban used 7 years and 102 million US dollars to complete a contract extension with Finley, and the 28-year-old Finley finished his new contract and it was almost time to retire.
But that's not right! Finley has always worked hard, even if he is bought out in the future, he will work hard to the Spurs, and he is a big contributor to the Spurs' championship in 07.
Let's just say it's a fantastic team.
Wang Zhizhi got a chance this year, playing an average of 12 minutes per game, scoring 6.2 points and 2 rebounds, shooting 45% from the field, and a little bit of a dish as an inside swingman, but his 42% three-point shooting rate averaged 1 three-pointer per game, showing the talent of a functional player.
I just don't know if Wang Zhizhi will choose to continue to develop towards this line, or like in the original time and space, he has to benchmark against Yao Ming, and he has to become the core, gain weight, and practice singles.
Schwartz talked to Li Ao about this, he didn't give a clear advice, and he was not familiar with it, in case the suggestion contradicted the other party's ideas and offended people in vain, this is a matter involving people's careers.
β¦
At 7:58, the two teams started on the field.
Clippers starters: Bibby, Ao Lee, Jordan, Matt Harprin, O'Neal Jr.
Mavericks starters: Nash, Adrian Griffin, Finley, Nowitzki, Lafrentz.
Li Ao came to the middle line, and the task prompt came.
"Jordan's successor? οΌ
Target: Michael Finley.
Goal 1: Score more points in this game than the opponent.
Goal 2: During matchup, the host must keep the opponent at least 40% hit.
Goal 3: Win the game.
Reward: 2000 achievement points per objective. β
Li Ao forgot that Finley was the first batch of 'Jordan's successors'!
With a maximum of 6,000 achievement points, he is more motivated.
Carter's 'Jordan's successor' mission failed, and the windmill dunk bag was not obtained, although Carter's 'Blizzard Concert' live broadcast made up for it, but it was still a little congested.
This task of Jordan's successor must be completed with greater effort!
At 8 o'clock, the game began, Lafrentz beat O'Neal Jr. to win the jump ball, and the Mavericks attacked first!
After Nash pushed up frontcourt, instead of giving the ball to Finley as he had done in past seasons, he hoisted the ball to Nowitzki, who was leaning on Matt Harplin's right side of the three-second zone.
Nash moves to the left of the top arc, a little farther away.
Adrian Griffin takes Jordan to the left baseline.
Lafrenz brought O'Neill Jr. to the bottom right corner.
This Carter University alumnus is an unconventional center white center, 211 cm + 109 kg physique, not good at confrontation, no ability to score inside, but excellent running and jumping ability, loves blocking, and relies on long-range shooting and three-point shooting for offense.
The space is wide open.
Seeing Nowitzki crashing into Matt Halprin, Li Ao, who was following Finley on the weak side, narrowed his eyes, and after Nowitzki turned and threw the ball out, Li Ao withdrew the basket, blocked the rushing Finley, and accepted the defensive rebound.
Although Nowitzki didn't score the goal, Li Ao was still surprised to see him hit his back with his own eyes.
At this time, the king of silver horns, has a development back fight? How could the playoffs be so badly defended by Maddie, Stephen Jackson, Bowen and others?
And this back-hitting action, except for the shot is different, the others are the same as his Spider-Man! It's a little slower.
He felt something was wrong in the playoffs last year, and now he understands everything.
The Silver Horn King actually learned the way he played!
In addition to averaging a career high of 24.1 points per game, he also averaged 3 assists per game, which is also a career high!
Now I'm even starting to learn back-to-back play......
Old Nelson is also enough, the Silver Horn King's back-to-back hit, Mad Scientist actually gives multiple back-to-back opportunities every game.
Want the Silver Horn King to be like him and quickly integrate his back into the game?
But obviously, the speed of the Silver Horn King is not so fast, and most of the opponents who meet the defensive line are playing iron.
It also pushed Nowitzki's shooting percentage to a new low since sophomore at 45.9 percent.
However, if you look at Nowitzki as a shooting guard or small forward, this shooting percentage is not bad.
Just when Li Ao passed the ball to Bibi who answered, there was another task!
"Come on, show! οΌ
Goal 1: After Dirk Nowitzki shoots with a back-to-back singles while the host is on the floor, the host needs to complete the offense with a back-to-back singles shot in the next round.
Reward: If Nowitzki misses and the host responds, 500 achievement points will be awarded for each ball until the host does not respond.
Goal 2: The host has at least one more number of shots and points per game in this game than Dirk Nowitzki.
Reward: If Goal 1 is not finished and Goal 2 is completed at the end of the game, the Golden Rooster Independent Backward Jumper Action Pack will be awarded. β
This task, Li Ao feels weird, the Silver Horn King will become a little Spider-Man in the future?
It's kind of interesting!
He ran to the front court and took the lead to occupy a high back position.
Jordan was quite dissatisfied, but when he heard Spider-Man say, "God of basketball, you play at a critical moment, I will deal with Jordan's successor", he crooked his neck and pulled away.
After pulling it off, Jordan had a new dissatisfaction - what is a mere Jordan successor? My successors are not as good as you?
But then he thought, well, he did hope that his successors would not be as strong as Spider-Man.
It's nice to say, but he doesn't want to be overtaken by his successors, or even approached.
Li Ao hit Finley with his back in a high position, turned around and feintmed to break through, withdrew the ball, pulled it up directly, and hit the shot!
Leaning over to grab the ball and suddenly pulling up the shot, the action is quite chic.
Jordan is sour again, why didn't he think of playing like this when he was young?
This big spider loves to pretend to be handsome!
Finley defended quite poorly this round, fitting the Mavericks' second-to-last ranking in limiting opponents' ability to score.
Not only is the defense not good, but the defensive habits have also deteriorated after the season has deepened, and Li Ao feels that Finley's defense is not as positive as in the preseason.
When it came to the Mavericks' offense, Nash didn't give Nowitzki a single again, and gave Nowitzki a single at the beginning, just to try to see if he could take advantage of his height, but he couldn't play, so he chose to come by himself.
Nash's rhythm flow breakthrough, one of the best in the league, combined with this season's 46% three-point performance, there is nothing wrong with saying that he is the first in the league.
Bibby was easily passed!
Nash burst inside like lightning, Jordan's defense was bypassed, but Li Ao received the basket.
Nash jumped half-step inside the right-hand sideline in the three-second zone...... Share the ball!
The pass between Finley and Nash was intercepted by Li Ao, and Finley didn't stand stupidly and went to help Nowitzki block Matt Halplin.
Nowitzki received Nash's inside lob and threw a shot against Li Ao, who was making up...... Hit!
The king of the silver horn, the shooting rate under the basket is 70%!
Although the number of shots is not much, once he shoots in this position, it is basically a goal.
How bad the Mavericks' defense in the last round is, how fierce the offense will be in this round!
With this cooperation, Li Ao was messy.
Nelson Sr.'s ability to create space, Nash's ability to utilize space, Cuban's financial resources...... Who said Nash doesn't fit in with Nowitzki?
It's certainly hard for these two to be on the same team to get to the top of the game, and they play at the top level of defense like they did last season.
But only offense, if Nash hadn't gone after HC went online in '04...... What should I do with the little overlord?
Jordan picked up the ball and gave it to Bibby, and pressed down with his left hand as he ran forward.
Bibby immediately adjusted his speed and crossed the halfway line at the 7-second mark.
Jordan is experienced, and in one round, it was determined that the opponent's current lineup could not be prevented.
Li Ao continued to play with his back in the high position, and Jordan began to run.
When Li Ao turned, Jordan ran to the middle, turned back, and pulled outside the free throw line.
Adrian Griffin reached the three-second zone and saw Li Ao turn around and pass Finley to make up for it.
Li Ao had already noticed Jordan's movements, took two steps to grab the ball, and threw it to the free throw line.
Jordan catches the ball and shoots ...... Hit!
Gentry slapped his face and said to the advisor next to him, "Doug, Michael is too strong, his adjustment ability is no worse than Leo...... No, this should be considered progress!
This is a style of play that he has never had, there was a physical crisis, and before we could react, he began to take the initiative to reduce singles, began to cooperate with Leo and Mike to play without the ball, and quickly found his off-ball play, how many games have it been? This style of play is already perfect! β
Doug Collins responded: "What is this, when I was coaching the Bulls, Michael showed a real talent like a god, and he refreshed my perception of basketball. β
Gentry "cut" and said, "I don't envy you, I also have Spider-Man!" β
On the court, Jordan immediately stuck to Nowitzki after scoring a goal, giving hand-to-hand combat and delaying the opponent's start.
The tacit understanding between God and Xia was reflected at this moment, and Li Ao also moved in front of Nash at the first time after Jordan made a move, Nash received the ball and wanted to speed up, but was blocked by Li Ao.
Nelson Sr. clapped his hands, worthy of a team coached by his fans.
Although the offensive firepower has dropped, averaging 100.5 points per game so far, the defense is getting better and better, conceding 92.2 points per game, the fourth-lowest in the league, behind the Heat, 76ers, Magic, and better than the Pistons and Trail Blazers.
The points conceded are not as low as those three teams, because the Clippers rarely take the initiative to press the rhythm, and the average number of shots per game and the number of shots limited by opponents have been reduced to less than 80 by those three teams, and the Clippers are at the league average in this regard, all of which are in the early 85s.
But the Clippers really want to press the tempo, and they are definitely one of the best in the league.
Jordan, who can delay power forwards or even centers, and Li Ao, who can limit the point guard's starting speed, can't find a second pair like this in the league.
Old Nelson didn't care about this, positional warfare is positional warfare, his running and bombing has never been just running and fighting, like George Karl's running and bombing, which can only rush, is a half-hung in his eyes.
How he wished there was a coach who could learn how to run and shoot his real run, he hadn't been coaching for many years.
The fans on the other side are quite talented, and often come up with some tactics that make him amazing, and he decided to let the fans see the charm of the offense tonight and pull the fans back from the crooked road!
On the court, although the Clippers pushed the opponent down to the tempo, the Mavericks launched an offense, and they still couldn't stifle the opponent's offensive speed.
O'Neal Jr. opted to shrink, and Lafrentz withdrew from the three-point line, received a two-pass from Nowitzki, and made a three-point shot......
Mr. 70 million's bottom corner three-point hit!
So far this season, Lafrentz has played in 25 games, averaging 9.2 points, 7 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game, and has averaged 1.5 three-pointers per game with a 43% shooting rate.
Seeing O'Neal Jr.'s annoyed expression when Lafrentz scored three points, Li Ao said when he picked up the ball: "The shrinkage is very good, and letting that guy shoot is better than letting Nowitzki go straight to the basket." β
O'Neal Jr. felt a little comforted, but then felt that this was not good, and he had to rely on Spider-Man's encouragement to feel that his defense was a little useful, and he had to do more.
Solution, always come up with a sense of urgency.
O'Neal Jr. thought of his next-door neighbor when he got to the frontcourt, and he came to the left side of the three-second zone to lean on Lafrentz and rely on his weight to create a confrontation.
Lafrentz, who didn't like confrontation, took a step back, thinking that he just needed to keep an arm's length away, O'Neal Jr. took advantage of the situation to press, Bibby had a wide vision and a keen sense of smell, and he went straight to the basket in the middle.
O'Neal Jr. received the ball, held up Lafrenz and tiptoed to the basket...... Hit!
The big shark is going to be bald by the next-door neighbor!
He never thought that some of his little cleverness would be learned by the next-door neighbor over and over again.
Lafrentz's single defense is really spicy, and it is really lucky to get a contract with an average of 10 million per year.
Nelson Sr. has played a pure offensive line this year, and the whole team has not defended well, covering up Lafrentz's poor defense, showing the advantages of the offensive end.
And Lafrenz loves blocking, has good defensive statistics, and Cuban can't wait to send a 7-year contract.
Both sides scored two goals in a row at the beginning, the score was 4-5, and the offensive bombardment of the positional battle kicked off!
The Clippers' offensive performance was solid, and after Jordan switched to playing without the ball, he didn't run fast, but he was always at a good point of contact, and together with Li Ao and Bibby, he tore the Mavericks' botched defense to shreds.
However, the Mavericks' offense, the Clippers are also difficult to defend.
The offense was easy, and Li Ao put more energy into the defensive end.
He actively complements the defense, but the defensive effect is ...... The number of rounds on both sides is very low.
Nowitzki swept away the slump of the Clippers last season!
The face frame couldn't play Matt Harplin, and he was not familiar with the back play, so he simply gave up the ball attack and played purely without the ball.
Nash 'wrested' control from Finley, Finley was happy to cooperate, and Nowitzki always got the ball when he got the chance.
As a European player, Nowitzki's passing awareness and ability are not as good as Gasol's, but he is also an excellent presence among power forwards.
Li Ao worked hard and failed to improve the team's defense!
Halfway through the first quarter, the score was 14-16, and the Clippers trailed the Mavericks by two points into the official timeout.
The scoring did not completely soar, it really relied on slowing down the tempo, and the Mavericks only took 9 shots in the half quarter, shooting 5 of 9, including 2 of 4 three-pointers, plus 4 of 4 free throws.
The Mavericks' second-highest shooting percentage in the league showed the Clippers a wave tonight.
Back on the bench, Li Ao crossed his waist and his face bulged into a bun.
Jordan, who is also active in supplementing and assisting in defense, is much calmer.
Jordan thinks it's time for him to be a 'good veteran'.
"Don't be discouraged, Spider-Man, the Germans should have learned from you, and the effect is so good, you should be happy."
Li Ao nodded when he heard this: "I didn't expect my playing style to be so powerful, worthy of me." β
ββ¦β¦β
Jordan withdrew the hand that wanted to pat Li Ao on the back.
And he was more than enough to comfort the goods.
Forget it, let's get down to business: "The Mavericks' offense is different from the Timberwolves and the Kings, although those two teams are also team offenses, but the priorities are clear, and the Mavericks can really score anyone, unless they don't have a good shooting touch on the outside, otherwise they probably can't prevent it tonight, get ready to fire up, Spider-Man!" β
Li Ao glanced at Gentry, the head coach was about to move, and he didn't have a headache at all because he couldn't prevent it.
This symptom is obviously that you can't think of how to prevent it after you want to break your head, and the offensive DNA dominates.
Li Ao responded: "It's really strange, I thought you would get angry because you couldn't prevent it, but I didn't expect you to accept the attack." β
Jordan: [_?]
Oh, by the way, this is a foreigner, I probably didn't see him play when I was a kid.
"When I was younger, my team scored more than 110 points per game. β
Li Ao pounded the palm of his left hand with his right hand, so it was.
But he still has questions: "That game against the Timberwolves is not good defense, why are you so irritable?" β
Jordan raised his eyebrows: "The Timberwolves' offense actually has holes, but you are not as strong as Garnett, and we can't take advantage of it." β
"yes, you're old too, and if you have the best defensive player ability, we can use it."
Jordan: 'D
He wanted to stimulate Spider-Man, but he was!
β¦
The Clippers fielded a combination of Bibby, Big Q, Li Ao, Gerald Wallace, and O'Neal Jr.
The Mavericks' defense doesn't need such strong individual ability, and Jordan was replaced by Gentry to rest and recharge to play key moments.
On the other side, the old Nelson crossed his waist on the sidelines, had a showdown, no longer equipped with defense, and the double point guards walked up!
Van Exel, Tim Hardaway, Finlay, Nowitzki, Wang Zhizhi are here!
The timeout ended, the game resumed, and the Clippers attacked.
Bibby singled Van Exel, didn't need to block and dismantle, and a change of direction feint shook Van Maniac to the side and smoothly broke into the inside.
Van Exel, who was in his prime, was extremely fast and made up for it, and Bibby had already got the space to jump out, ignoring Van Exel's save, and stepped on the free throw line to hit the shot!
Switching between attack and defense, Tim Hardaway received the serve and wanted to get up to speed, but was covered by Gerard Wallace and passed to Van Axel, and Li Ao followed closely.
Old Nelson looked very majestic, but his behavior had nothing to do with majesty, and he took a sip.
Why is that fan's life so good?
A late-first-round pick could draft a talent like Gerard Wallace.
This athleticism, defensive awareness, and positivity make him drool.
Such a striker, trained for two or three years and Nash to play blocking and dismantling, must not take off.
The mad scientist's dual-point guard speed-up plan was accurately cracked by Gentry.
The Mavericks' pure firepower is slightly weaker than that of the Timberwolves and the Kings, but they score in a more complete way, and the three point guards can launch a fast break and be fierce.
Van Exel advanced to the frontcourt, and the big Q who was guarding the top arc immediately posted it, and Van Crazy was famous, crazy enough to beat Payton, who had just won the best defensive player.
Van Exel changed direction and burst into the inside, shook off the big Q, Gerard Wallace made up the defense, Van Exel split the ball, Nowitzki received the ball, lifted the ball before Li Ao's defense was in place, jumped, and shot against Li Ao's interference...... Hit!
Back playing skills, Nowitzki is still far behind, receiving the ball without the ball, he is just similar, relying on the help of Nash and Finley to have the current performance, and compared with Spider-Man, he still has a significant gap.
But under the pressure of Spider-Man's all-round envelope, he does a lot better than the details that can be improved as long as he focuses on them.
For example, don't put the ball on your waist when you receive the ball, and put the shooting posture first, this is what the Silver Horn King learned from Spider-Man in last year's playoffs!
After the goal, Nowitzki was high, spread his arms and retreated to the cheers of the crowd.
Li Ao, who was imitated, rubbed his chin...... , when can the beard grow a little more!
