In the second half of the first quarter, the Magic team played a 12-8 score, relying on a combination of defense and TT to narrow the gap to two points, and the score was chased to 27-29.

Gentry's eyes were full of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

With this ability to break the strain, can it steadily occupy the first place in the East and the second place in the league?

OK connection, TT connection, to put it nicely, is actually purely based on the individual ability of the star, and it is not 'tactical' at all.

Of course, the strength of these two moves is that they don't play tactics with the opponent, and the opponent's defensive strategy can't have any effect, so they can only flank the attack.

But the Zen master of the people, this is used as a killing move, and in most cases it is the OK combination that he feels that he should rely on his personal ability, so he fights like this, and the Zen master himself rarely arranges OK connections.

When it comes to Rivers, it is directly used as a regular tactic.

With that, Rivers has also become the second favorite to win the best coach of the season.

The number one favorite is Pistons' Rick Carlisle.

He is here, from Bibby to Jordan to Odom to Li Ao...... It's all tactical stream players.

Spider-Man's 11 points in the opening half of the quarter is fierce enough, right?

But every goal is also a tactical score.

If Li Ao wants to play the irritable performance at the beginning, he must first mess up the opponent's defense with Bibby, so that Duncan's defensive attention is on Bibby on the wing, O'Neal Jr. who enters the basket, and Matt Harprin who runs away from Hores Grant, so that Maddie will not dare to jump directly in advance regardless of the interference, Maddie really wants to lock Li Ao's shooting space, and he has to risk being passed, such as the one when Duncan was blocked.

Gentry thinks about how to help a few stars play better and make the most of the team's strength.

But look at people, there are two young superstars, one is stronger than Webb in scoring after completely liberating the offensive ability, and the other is evaluated that if you can win the assist king by pure breakout, it is so easy to compete for the first place in the league.

While envious, jealous and hateful, Gentry is glad that the Magic team has such a coach.

If they meet the Magic in the playoffs, they have a good chance of winning...... Thinking too much, let's take care of the current game first, and don't waste the good start of the game.

He took his thoughts back and seized the time between the breaks to adjust.

At the beginning of the second quarter, as Kentry expected, the Magic continued to field TT combinations.

Duncan and Maddy have played 38 and 37 minutes respectively this season, which is not too high for a duo team.

But judging from the situation of this game, it is purely that the hard power of the Magic team is strong enough, Rivers's tactics, everything is planned, and it is to take the path of killing the opponent in a dignified manner, crushing the opponent head-on, most of the teams have no power to fight back when they encounter them, and the playing time of the two can be controlled so well.

When the opponent burst out stronger than them, Rivers did not respond at all, and the playing time of the two soared.

As an opponent, Gentry was anxious for Rivers, so he sent Bibby, Big Q, Gerald Wallace, O'Neal Jr., and Campbell up to play hand-to-hand combat.

At the beginning of the quarter, the Magic went on a 9-3 run to outrun the Clippers by four points, 36-32.

But after Gentry called a timeout and replaced the combination of Greg Anthony, Ao Lee, Jordan, Odom and O'Neal Jr., the Clippers went on a 7-2 run before the official timeout to regain the lead at 39-38.

The two teams turned on the limit pull, and when the TT combination slowed down and attacked hard, the Magic team had the upper hand, but once the TT combination was tired of attacking and needed to rest, the Clippers could seize the opportunity to regain the advantage.

The role players of the two teams who are responsible for receiving shots are gradually being consumed by the confrontation, and the advantage of the Clippers is gradually highlighted.

At the end of the third quarter, Li Ao seized Maddy's fatigue and hit two consecutive shots around the pile, and after the third quarter, the Clippers led the Magic by 7 points at 74-67 and entered the final quarter!

The Clippers trailed the Magic 20-22 in the second quarter, and the Clippers limited the Magic 25-18 in the third quarter!

In the final quarter, the TT combination came up and rushed into a wave, Maddie scored a three-pointer, Duncan scored a catch-and-shoot and a catch-and-break layup, and the two scored seven points in a row.

But during this period, Maddie didn't defend well and couldn't keep up with Li Ao's footsteps, Li Ao continued the feeling at the end of the third quarter, scored a three-pointer and a mid-range shot, scored 5 points alone, and withstood the counterattack of the TT combination, the score came to 79-74, and the Clippers still maintained a 5-point lead.

Rivers is really pointing to the star, in the first three quarters, except for Maddie to rest for 3 minutes, he didn't give the TT combination time to rest, and at this time, after the two soared for 7 points in a row, they really couldn't fight, and there were scores later, but they couldn't score as continuously as the first three quarters and the beginning of the fourth quarter to play a climax.

The Clippers scored 26-23 in the final quarter and defeated the Magic 100-90!

The TT duo had a crazy individual performance tonight, with Maddy having 25 points, 8 boards, 11 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, and Duncan having 35 points, 11 boards, 3 assists and 3 blocks.

But apart from the two of them, the rest of the Magic team combined for only 30 points, and they didn't make good use of that good group of role players.

In fact, Rivers' planned tactics are very balanced, with Duncan averaging 27.1 points per game, Maddy averaging 20.9 points per game, the Magic team averaging 98.1 points per game, and usually role players averaging 50 points per game.

But tonight, Spider-Man scored 9 points in a row at the beginning, which scared Rivers, and he directly knocked the star, or the kind of pure knock TT connection, which was not effectively used at all, and it was always dead......

As a result, the TT combination scored more than a dozen points higher than usual, and the teammates scored 20 points less.

In comparison, the Clippers are much more evenly balanced.

After Li Ao scored 11 points in the first half of the first quarter, he became the opponent's key defense target, and he took the initiative to serve as a containment point.

Li Ao scored 5 points in the second quarter, 7 points in the third quarter, 8 points in the final quarter, and 31 points in a single game.

Jordan had 20 points and 4 assists, and he had a solid performance.

Bibi got a double-double of 11 points and 10 assists, and several assists were passed out Li Aoqiang shot and got a double-double while lying down.

O'Neal Jr. was miserable in the early stage, but he performed well in the final quarter, with 7 points and 4 boards in a single quarter, and played 32 minutes to get 13 points, 10 boards, 2 assists and 2 blocks, continuing his excellent performance in the past few games.

Odom, who has just come back, is really amazing, his height and vision, the skills and physical conditions that can play point guard, it's too buggy, he can't shoot tonight, but he still got 8 points, 6 boards, 6 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.

Spider-Man broke out, his teammates performed steadily, and the Clippers won the game steadily!

…

12 of 20 shots, including 3 of 5 three-pointers, plus 4 of 5, Li Ao efficiently scored 31 points, 7 boards, 2 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks.

Regarding Maddy's 'Jordan's successor' mission, goal 1 is to make more pulls than Maddy, which is easy to complete, goal 3 has more steals and blocks than Maddy, and it is also smooth, this goal is the easiest for him, he averages more blocks per game than Maddy combined, and goal 4, the game is won and completed.

But goal 2 failed, scoring + assists, Maddy's total value was 36, and he only had 33.

This can't be helped, after he started with a hot hand, he was very strict against him, and the opportunity was not good, and most of the shots behind him were strong shots, purely relying on his good condition tonight to get so many points.

Maddie's version of the dry pull jump shooting training method only got level 1, Li Ao was a little regretful, but saw 9000 achievement points, and action packs...... It's okay, it's okay.

When the foundation is laid in the future, there is time to think about the follow-up intensive training method on your own, which is not a conventional offensive method anyway.

It was a good night and that's enough.

He thought it wouldn't be enough to say how bad Rivers really was.

He has watched the videos of the Magic team's last few games, and the Magic team system is actually quite perfect, and it has done a good job with such a big change in the rules.

But Rivers does lack the ability to adapt, and he blindly and confidently adjusts when he encounters problems.

Unless there is a big guy with his own defensive system like Garnett on the defensive end, who has the ability to command defense on the spot, and an offensive tactician like Rondo on the offensive end, Rivers' operation will add fuel to the fire when he encounters trouble.

But that kind of offensive and defensive core is not something you want to have.

Not only must you have the ability, but you also have to be strong enough to dare to refuse directly when you feel that the head coach has made an inappropriate arrangement.

However, neither Duncan nor Maddie are the kind of people with strong personalities, and they are more accustomed to looking for opportunities within the arranged style of play.

Coaching Duncan and Duncan with Maddie, every head coach will feel very happy, but the head coach is not capable enough, that is, he is dragging the two back.

Li Ao feels that they can win tonight, and there is also a greater element of luck, he doesn't dare to guarantee that the next time he plays with the Magic team, he will feel so good, and he will score consecutive goals against the defense, but at least he will have a thorough understanding of the opposite coach, and the next time he meets, he will have a clearer direction!

…

The Magic lost to the Clippers, and their record changed to 27-8, dropping to third in the league, and being overtaken by the Kings, who went 28-8.

Just like Gentry, Li Ao, Jordan and others all looked down on Rivers, this game made Rivers questioned.

However, the fans' attention to the head coach is not so high, unless the team's record collapses due to the ability of the head coach, or the head coach's command ability in the playoffs has a major mistake, it will cause heated discussions among fans.

Fans are more concerned about the performance of the stars!

Li Ao broke out again in the face of the top strong team! 31 points on 60% shooting!

Entering the middle of the season, most of the stars have seen a decline in performance, but there are also stars who have improved instead of falling.

There are three of the most dazzling, and Li Ao is one of them.

He played well in the middle of the season in his rookie year, leading the team to a 10-game winning streak.

After the Christmas game this season, although the Clippers are not so favored to keep the first place in the league, the media and fans have high expectations for Li Ao's personal performance, and his performance did not disappoint.

The second is Iverson, a stamina monster who has been his show time since his rookie season and in the middle of every season.

Third...... It's not Kobe, it's O'Neal!

With his weight dropping below 160 kilograms, O'Neal has shown that his average points per game has increased to 24.9 points so far, and he is about to return to the 25+ per game ranks.

This is also related to the fact that he missed 9 of the first 24 games, and if he played less games and scored a high score, he naturally increased more.

In the middle of this season, Kobe Bryant did not perform as well as in the past two years, the early big shark was physically limited, and there were many injuries and suspensions, Kobe Bryant fought very hard, and after entering the middle of the season, the playing time dropped from an average of 43 minutes per game in the early stage to 38 minutes, and the Zen master has been doing a good job in this area.

Kobe Bryant's health this season has surprised the media and fans, this is the first time that Kobe Bryant has played until mid-season without injury after becoming the second leader, which makes the 23-year-old Kobe Bryant's future more optimistic...... Such public opinion also made his ambitions even more inflated.

On January 10th, the Clippers had a rest day, and the next two opponents were not weak, the Jazz and the Hornets, still back-to-back, but Gentry did not arrange training to let the players rest.

After seeing the Timberwolves lose by nearly 40 points to the Pistons 75-113, he felt that nothing was more important than his health.

Li Ao helped the family pack up their things in the morning, and in two days, they were going to move back to their house, and Vivian's confinement period was finally over.

Vanessa was very reluctant, and pulled Kobe, who was disgusted but quick at work, to help clean up.

There was no hurry to move, I cleaned up for two hours in the morning, and in the afternoon, Vivian and Vanessa made an appointment to have afternoon tea.

Li Ao's parents are at home with their grandchildren, and he trains with Kobe.

After getting Maddie's dry pulling action package and training methods, I must practice first.

Kobe Bryant looked at Li Ao's training movements and didn't want to deal with it!

With such an offensive master as him by his side, this big spider is not easy to study, and he actually learns another high school student's technique through a competition!

Although the physical condition of the big spider is suitable for this move, the height advantage on the front guard line is large, and the arm span is even longer...... He didn't want to deal with it anyway.

But I couldn't help but look at it, and after watching it for a while, he rubbed his skin and scratched the itch, and the whole person was uncomfortable.

Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he went up and put on a posture and said, "That's not how this trick works!"

You have a good habit of picking up the ball and making a good shot when you receive it, but this way, the opponent knows that you are going to shoot, and it is easy to interfere with you, if you always feel as good as playing the Magic team, I have nothing to say, but that's impossible.

The correct way to use this is that you have to take a triple threat stance like this, and put the ball in this position with both hands......"

"Snake, is it okay for me to hold the ball with one hand...... Okay, okay, you go on, what are you doing so fiercely, I'm cowardly......"

Kobe Bryant took a deep breath and restrained the urge to turn around and leave, he complained that the time was not over yet, and he felt uncomfortable if he didn't complain about all the problems of this big spider.

Li Ao's original plan was to practice first, try to use it in the game, find problems, and then make adjustments.

Snake took the initiative to coach, and of course he was happy that the adjustment of the training method went very well......

…

After a day off, on January 11, the Clippers arrived on Game 1 of a back-to-back at home.

At noon, the league announced the votes for the first round of All-Star Weekend voting.

In the East, Carter won 710,000 votes and was temporarily the top vote.

He punched Bowen and chased him to the opposite bench, where he was banned for two games and criticized by the league, but his popularity soared even further.

In the past, his soft and arrogant personality has been complained about, and even his outspoken former teammate Charles Oakley has publicly criticized him for being too soft.

This time, he almost got stepped on again, refreshing the fans' perception of him.

The second most voted ...... in the East It was 650,000 votes for Duncan, and he was put in the center position to stand out, and Mutombo, who was in second place, had less than half of his votes.

Maddie was put in the forward position and came in second place with 410,000 votes.

Together with Carter, he is known as 'the most gifted brother of all time'.

In the back line, Iverson was first with 590,000 votes and Kidd was second with 490,000 votes, leading third place Ray Allen with more votes, and Kidd had twice as many votes as Ray Allen.

In the West, Jordan is second in the league with 690,000 votes and first in the West.

The second guard was Kobe Bryant with 570,000 votes.

The center position O'Neal was first with 460,000 votes, and O'Neal Jr. was second with 390,000 votes.

In the forward position, Li Ao ranked first with 640,000 votes and Garnett was second with 490,000 votes.

Seeing this vote, Li Ao's heart was congested.

When he was interviewed in China, he heard Xu Jicheng say that domestic fans were very enthusiastic about voting for the god of basketball.

The court station especially wants to be in line with international standards, and the international influence of the basketball god goes without saying, when Jordan announced his comeback to join the Clippers, the court station frantically touted ...... The consequence is that less than halfway through the regular season, the editors have already started writing, and if the Clippers don't win the championship, they will bring back the bull that was blown out.

The other is the All-Star vote, and domestic fans are still the most enthusiastic about voting for Spider-Man, but the second is Jordan, and it's not much worse.

Coupled with Jordan's appeal in the United States, if it weren't for Carter's popularity rising again this season, Jordan would have rushed to the top of the ticket.

And it's hard to say who will win the vote.

But it's not a big deal, his Spider-Man's all-star starting position is not running, and his heart is stuffed, so he puts this matter aside, and takes a break after lunch to continue to practice.

At 8 p.m., the Clippers host a challenge from the Jazz.

At this stage in the middle of the season, the number of paid subscription ratings was close to 5 million, and the number of paid ratings was nearly 10 million when the game was about to start, which is quite a rare ratings performance.

The last time the Jazz team and the boat team played each other, the Jazz team lost by 5 points, and this time the double brakes played even more desperately.

When he was not too old, Jordan played with double evil, and now that everyone is old, he is just as confident...... Urge your teammates to play hard.

The Clippers led by three points 23-20 in the first quarter, and the Jazz tied the score 22-19 in the second quarter, and the two teams entered the second half with a score of 42-42.

In the third quarter, the two teams continued to fight, and just in the stalemate stage, an accident occurred, O'Neal Jr. fell in the confrontation, clutching the base of his thigh, the team doctor made a preliminary diagnosis, groin strain, and was helped back to the locker room by Gerald Wallace and Sean Lukes.

O'Neal Jr. left the court with an injury, and the Clippers' defense collapsed in the third quarter, and Campbell, who could only squat under the basket, and Jeron Collins, who lacked ability, combined could not make up for O'Neal Jr.'s role on the defensive end.

The Jazz took the opportunity to attack fiercely, dominating both offensive and defensive ends, and played a 27-19 single-quarter score.

At the end of the third quarter, the Jazz led by eight points, 69-61.

In the final quarter, Jordan couldn't stand it anymore, and in the face of the rookie AK47's defense, "Boom" scored two goals in a row and dreamed of returning to the top.

Then Jordan turned and burst forward and distributed the ball to Odom, who responded with the ball.

Li Ao ran to shake off DeSean Stevenson, caught the ball and turned around to hit a three-point shot.

God and Hero teamed up to play a wave of 7-2, narrowing the gap to 3 points, and the score was 68-71.

When it came to the Jazz's offense, Stockton and Malone split the ball after blocking and dismantling...... Mistake!

Li Ao, who was defending Stockton, pounced to knock the ball away, Odom grabbed the ball, advanced a counterattack, and sent the ball away when Li Ao rushed to the three-point line.

DeSean Stevenson, who was physically strong, followed Li Ao, although he couldn't prevent Li Ao, who has a huge advantage in height and arm span, from catching the ball, but stuck to it.

Just when the high school student was excited to defend against Spider-Man's fast attack, a regretful voice came to his ears.

"You shouldn't have kept up......"

Before DeSean Stevenson could react, an unstoppable force came, and he grabbed the opponent's jersey and pulled his whole body up, and his feet were off the ground!

Li Ao burst out on the spot, with DeSean Stevenson on his body, and smashed the ball into the basket with both hands!

'Marathon Level 3' + 'Shark Level 4', Spider-Man is really - Shark Buckle!

Listening to the referee's whistle and the crazy cheers of the fans at the scene, DeSean Stevenson let go of his hands in a daze, slipped down, and sat on the floor with his ass, the whole person stupid.

God and Hero broke out hand in hand, coupled with Spider-Man's brutal dunk this time, the morale of the Clippers was rekindled, and the gloom of O'Neal Jr.'s injury and net minus 8 points in the third quarter was swept away.

After Lee hit a free throw, the Clippers tied the score at 71-71.

In the following time, the Clippers and Jazz played back and forth, and the two stars on the opposite side would not be intimidated by 10 points in a row.

With 9:55 played, the Clippers led the Jazz by just one point, 89-88.

However, Stockton and Malone made four shots.

On the Clippers' side, Bibby hit a top arc to catch a three-pointer, Li Ao cut into a hook shot, and played a wave of 5-0 at the last moment to lock up the win!

Malone had 29 points, 8 boards and 3 assists, Stockton had 13 points and 13 assists, Kirilenko had 8 points, 5 boards, 4 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks, and Donyer Marshall had 19 points.

But it was too overwhelming to be unable to stand up to them at the critical moment.

Li Ao and Jordan both scored 25 points, Li Ao had 25 points, 10 boards, 4 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks, and Jordan had 25 points, 9 boards, 3 assists and 1 steal.

plus Bi's score of 14 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists, Odom's 14 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, and O'Neal Jr.'s 8 points, 9 rebounds and 2 blocks......

94-88, the Clippers reversed the Jazz and won 5 consecutive victories!

…

"You're not far from it:

Goal 1: Host all 5 main stats of this match must not be lower than Andrei Kirilenko. (Completed)

Goal 2: The sum of the five main stats of the host in this match needs to be twice as many as Andrei Kirilenko. (Completed)

Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: 4000 achievement points. ”

reversed and won, the task was completed, or it was completed in full, and Li Ao was very happy to get 4000 achievement points.

But O'Neill Jr. was injured, and he couldn't be happy.

This little shark, when you're tired, just say it! What are you doing!

In the first half, he felt that O'Neal Jr.'s pace was slower than usual, and he would be so easily scored on the inside by Malone.

In the third quarter, it didn't look like the confrontation was that big, and the fall was probably caused by fatigue.

This is actually very unexpected by Li Ao, he has the impression that O'Neal Jr. only began to have the impact of injuries after the Auburn Hills palace incident, and the core reason is that Artest, the best defensive player in the front line, was banned for a whole season, and his pressure on the defensive end skyrocketed.

Before the continuous injury, O'Neal Jr., although his offensive style of play was soft, his defense was strong and his blocking ability was strong, and he could definitely be called an offensive and defensive one.

But after the game, he thought about it carefully, when O'Neal Jr. went to the Pacers in the original time and space, the Pacers had declined, the playoffs were on the fringe team, the team's record was not under much pressure, O'Neal Jr. was also cultivated as an absolute core, and he didn't play so hard, after the rise of the Pacers in the 03-04 season, O'Neal Jr. had the pressure of record and personal performance, at that time O'Neal Jr. had grown up easily for 3 years, and in the 03-04 season, he played an average of 20+10 per game with an attendance rate of 78 games and led the team to 61 wins.

And O'Neal Jr., who came to the Clippers, took on the responsibility of protecting the frame in the first year, and took the path of a defensive center, which is no problem, standing at the center, the consumption is much smaller, but this year, O'Neal Jr.'s strength is among the ranks of first-class centers, and he wants to take on more responsibilities, and after Odom's injury, he wants to show his offensive ability, and the number of inside attacks and active rushes has skyrocketed......

Defending and attacking is good, and for the center, that's no problem.

But O'Neill Jr. was a little too anxious, he was only 23 years old.

At noon the next day, when Li Ao arrived at the Staples Center, he learned about O'Neal Jr.'s injury from Gentry.

The groin strain is not serious, this injury is indeed too hard recently, the body is overtired, under the doctor's examination and questioning, O'Neill Jr. said that he recently had knee tension after a long period of intense exercise.

Gentry said happily: "Jermaine's injury this time is also a good thing, if it wasn't for this comprehensive examination, we wouldn't have known that his knee was affected recently, and he wanted to prove himself too much." ”

Li Ao responded: "It can be seen that when Lamar was injured, he played very hard, and after Lamar came back, he played even harder, in fact, if he only fought on the defensive end or only on the offensive end, it would be fine, but he wanted to integrate offense and defense and become a real little shark in people's minds, which may be too much burden for him...... It's all up to you, Alvin, because you expect too much from him, and he happens to have that kind of talent. ”

"Blame me?"

Gentry didn't know where to start.

It's obvious that little O'Neill is so good because you Spider-Man is so good and wants to surpass you, so he fights so hard!

But Gentry thought about it carefully, and it seemed that Spider-Man was even more unexpected, is it also wrong to be excellent?

Ignoring who to blame, Gentry said: "I have discussed this problem with Doug and Larry in the morning, and we haven't discussed a suitable way to deal with it, Jermaine is self-motivated, we can't force him not to work hard, right?" ”

Li Ao fell into deep thought when he heard this, but after thinking about it for a while, there was really no perfect way...... Wait, he suddenly reacted, he is not the head coach, why bother with this thought.

Think of things simply...... Pregnant!

"Give him easier tasks or reduce his playing time," he said. ”

"I had that thought, but I was worried that Jermaine would be upset because of it."

'If you want to worry about his emotions or make sure he's healthy, then it's up to you, you're the manager, I'm just a 20-year-old young player.

Gentry: ( ̄ェ ̄; )

It's really non-stick when it's time to be non-stick!

…

What kind of choice the coaching staff will make, Li Ao doesn't know, but no matter how he chooses, he knows that he will definitely have to make more contributions in the future.

I don't need a future, I have to fight harder tonight.

O'Neal Jr.'s mild groove strain didn't have a big impact, but the coaching staff put him on the watch list, at least tonight's back-to-back, O'Neal Jr. couldn't play.

By 8 p.m., the Clippers were facing their second back-to-back home opponent, the Hornets.

Only when you lose something do you know how precious it is.

Accustomed to having a center who can support close range and basket protection alone, suddenly gone, Li Ao is not used to playing on the defensive end tonight.

Campbell can't do without the three-second zone, even if the opposite center pulls out, he is in and out of the three-second zone to ensure that he does not defend for three seconds, and the close-range protection is not good.

Jeron Collins is conscious and willing to expand his defense, but his physical condition is not enough, he can play as a substitute, and his strength is indeed a gap compared with his brother.

Coupled with Jordan's back-to-back second round, the Clippers trailed the Hornets by eight points 16-24 in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, Bibby, Li Ao, and Odom turned on offensive mode and soared a single quarter score of 27-27 with the Hornets.

In the third quarter, the Clippers continued their onslaught, 29-26 in the first quarter, narrowing the margin to five points.

But in the final quarter, the Clippers couldn't move anymore, and the Hornets did a really good job defensively, playing a 21-20 score in the final quarter to keep the lead to the end.

Li Ao made 9 of 21 shots, including 1 of 3 three-pointers, plus 8 of 9 free throws, and scored 27 points, 7 boards, 4 assists, 1 steal and 4 blocks; Odom 20 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists; Bibby 14 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists; Big Q got 10 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists; Matt Halplin had 8 points and 8 rebounds, and it was still difficult to hide the defeat.

98-92, the Hornets ended the Clippers' 5-game winning streak away!

The Clippers moved to 30-7.

Back-to-back 1-1, not much of a bad performance, and Li Ao and his teammates didn't care about this, at noon on the second day of the back-to-back game, he left Los Angeles with the team to Seattle, and after a night's rest, on January 14, he came to the Key Stadium to challenge the SuperSonics away.

The last time they played against the SuperSonics, the Clippers took advantage of the injury of the opponent's two major pitchers to blast the opponent, and the difference once stretched to more than 20 points.

This time, it was the turn of the supersonic team at home to show off their might.

Payton exploded tonight, hitting the interior in a row, shooting 14-of-26 from the field, including 1-of-3 three-pointers, plus 14-of-15 free throws, to score 43 points and 7 assists in a single game.

Jordan, who was on the wing, was beaten to 6 fouls tonight......

Don't guess the mind of the basketball god, he thinks that since he can't prevent it, how can he not let Payton score happily, and how rough and rough the defensive action should be.

Although Li Ao only scored 12 points on 4-of-11 shooting, he couldn't stand Payton's explosion.

Li Ao had 25 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists, Bibby 12 points and 8 assists, Jordan 16 points, and Odom 14 points...... The Clippers lost 95-104 to the SuperSonics and suffered their first two-game losing streak of the season.

…

After losing to the SuperSonics, the Clippers moved to 30-8, and the next afternoon, the Clippers arrived in San Antonio.

In the evening, Li Ao saw the news that the Kings defeated the Heat at home, improving their record to 31-8.

Their Clippers maintained the No. 1 spot in the league for nearly half a season, and were snatched away by the Kings!

After Christmas, the Kings went unbeaten in one game and surged to 11 straight wins, breaking their longest winning streak of the season held by the Clippers.

Li Ao was staggered, the injury situation of the Kings this season is incredible, except for Webber's occasional absence, the other 7 main players have hardly been injured.

Not only was he surprised, but when Li Ao watched the news and watched the forum, he saw that the media and fans were also surprised by the stability of the Kings.

In people's opinion, in the middle of the season, their Clippers have such physical effects, injury effects, it is normal performance.

Jordan's occasional absence, Odom and O'Neal Jr.'s injuries one after another, and the ups and downs of role players, relying on Li Ao and Bibby to support the offense in the backcourt, even Clippers fans don't feel that there is anything wrong with this situation.

This is a completely abnormal situation for the Kings, and it can be said that it is a miracle.

After paying a little attention to this, Li Ao turned off the computer and used the DVD in the room to watch the video clips of the Spurs' last few games.

Suffering two consecutive defeats, Li Ao has accepted the situation of his teammates' injuries, injuries can be avoided as much as possible, but when they come, they can only accept it, since this is the case, then what is there to worry about, instead of complaining constantly, it is better to look forward and try to play every game well.

Wally Walker's 'ruthless domination' is a lot of good for the players.

Li Ao thinks back to last season, even if their record is up, several of their core players need video editing of each game, and the editor often paddles, and when the game is intensive, there are often situations where the editor does not edit the video of those non-playoff opponents, and sometimes the editor can't get the recent video of the opponent in the next game, so angry that Li Ao chokes.

But this year, not to mention the Spurs, the Bulls' video editors are working overtime to cut it.

Sign an agreement, do something wrong and open it directly, plus full overtime pay and bonuses, Wally Walker's operation, in a professional team, is really very good, fire an employee, and some people want to join.

It may also be that Wally Walker does not want to take any responsibility and avoids all the risks.

After a night's rest, on January 16, the Clippers traveled to the ATT Center to take on the Spurs.

Tonight, Li Ao no longer thinks about how to cooperate with Campbell to protect the middle and close range in the main stage, it is too difficult.

Campbell has been on the side for so long, and Li Ao has not played with Campbell.

But when Campbell came on the court, they had already consumed a wave of opposing wing pitchers in the main stage, and even sometimes Campbell didn't play until the middle of the second quarter and the first half of the third quarter, when Li Ao could be more assured to close inside.

Now that Campbell is playing the starting lineup, that kind of defense doesn't fit.

Li Ao tried two games, but the effect was not good, since this is the case, he simply didn't think about how to cooperate with Campbell, who played the starter, and spent that effort, it was better to wait for O'Neal Jr. to come back, and the input and output were not proportional.

The defense he chose tonight - to catch Arenas alone!

'Heavy Pressure Level 3' Walk Up! In the face of opponents who are inferior to him in height and weight, Li Ao has +3 speed and strength +3, and his sense of defensive pressure has increased!

The last time the Clippers and the Spurs played each other, Li Ao took the path of team defense, did not deliberately care about Arenas, back to back, he chose to help his interior teammates protect the frame more.

Therefore, Arenas did not face off with Li Ao last time, and Li Ao changed his defense to Arenas at most.

Tonight, Arenas felt what horror is!

Li Ao in the state of 'heavy pressure', speed 96, strength 93, height, arm span and weight are surrounded in all directions, and he has more experience in professional basketball......

Arenas was guarded against suspicion at the beginning of the game, and when he was in college, he was able to beat Li Ao!

Arenas didn't believe all this and went crazy...... played two and a half quarters, played 22 minutes, shot 3-of-16, including 1-of-5 three-pointers, and didn't make a single free throw, scoring 7 points, 4 assists and 5 turnovers.

Popovich saw that Arenas was afraid to shoot twice with the ball, and made a mistake in a panic for two consecutive rounds and quickly replaced him.

The evil spider, who said that he only bullied the champion?

The rookies at the end of the first round are bullied, and they don't want to be faced!

Originally, Popovich had tried his best to make himself forget his past grievances, and now, the old and new hatreds have merged together!

In the second half of the third quarter, Popovich sacrificed the defensive strategy of 'infinite flanking Spider-Man'.

Not to mention, this start really caught the Clippers off guard, and the Clippers went from leading by 9 points from 68-59 to 73-68 at the end of the third quarter, and the lead was narrowed to 5 points.

But in the final quarter, Bibby made good use of the opponent's strange defense and led the team to a single quarter score of 28-22.

In the end, relying on Jordan's 26 points, Li Ao's 20 points, 8 boards, 6 assists, 3 steals and 5 blocks, Bibby's 15 points and 8 assists, and Odom's 12 points and 12 boards, the Clippers defeated the Spurs 101-90 and avoided three consecutive defeats!

Arenas, who was sitting on the bench, felt so cold tonight......

…

After playing the Spurs, the Clippers rushed back to Los Angeles the next morning, rested for an afternoon, and welcomed the 76ers in back-to-back games at home and abroad in the evening.

After 2 hours and 22 minutes of play, the 76ers easily defeated the Clippers 100-86 thanks to Iverson's 30 points and 10 assists.

Li Ao threw 27 times tonight, 12 of 27 shots, including 1 of 6 three-pointers, plus 8 of 8 free throws, scored a game-high 33 points, plus 10 boards, 2 assists, 1 steal and 4 blocks.

Lost, heart plug, 'Jordan Successor - Answer' second mission, only completed goal 1, scored higher than Iverson, and got 3000 achievement points, but goal 2 won, failed, and failed to get the additional bonus base speed attribute points for completing both goals, even more heartbroken.

However, tonight's race against Iverson was not without gain - in the third quarter, he made 9 crazy shots in a single quarter, and at the end of the third quarter, he received a system prompt that his mid-range shot was increased to 91.

In fact, in tonight's game, he knew that the odds were not good, Jordan, O'Neal Jr., and Matt Halprin were out, and they were back-to-back, and it was difficult to play.

Jordan is rested, O'Neal Jr. is still on the injury watch list, this tight schedule, the coaching staff does not dare to let him on for the time being, Matt Hardlin twisted his foot when he hit the Spurs last night and rushed to the basket, Li Ao subconsciously looked for Bowen, and saw Bowen following Greg Anthony in the bottom corner......

But whether it's for victory or for the mission, you have to fight.

I did my best, but there was nothing to be sad about, but I was unwilling.

After the final whistle, he was about to go back to the locker room to find a toilet to grieve alone, but the task prompt came and diverted his attention.

“…… Let the head coach be on the all-star stage! Trigger. ”
