Every time he plays the Magic team, Li Ao is very motivated.

"Tim Duncan, 26 years old, 211 cm, 118 kg, overall rating 102...... Averaged 23 points, 13 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.8 blocks per game ......"

It's because of a male silver!

It's a great feeling to play against such a strong person!

Unfortunately, the serious injury in April 00 caused Shi Fo's left foot to be injured, and the neurological pain continued to wear down his athletic ability.

With the Magic team not so tired, Shi Fo's second peak may last for another year and a half, but it is inevitable to slip from the peak before the age of 30.

Although the current Duncan has started and exploded, he is still very violent in relying on brute force to chisel and dunk on the inside, and there is enough space to rush up and dunk, and he can only make a big windmill in place in the last decade of his career.

Tracy McGrady, 23 years old, 203 cm, 95 kg, overall rating 94...... Averaged 21.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 6.6 assists, 2.2 steals and 1.8 blocks per game ......"

Sam Kassel, 33 years old, 191 cm, 88 kg, overall rating 90...... Averaged 16.6 points, 2.4 rebounds and 7.6 assists per game ......"

The Magic Big Three!

Cassel came to the Magic, and Maddy's rebounds and assists declined, but his scores, steals, and blocks improved; Duncan's scoring and assists have slipped but rebounds and blocks have improved.

Kassel's scoring and assists also declined, but his shooting percentage reached a new career high, with 49.1 percent shooting, 51 percent shooting percentage, and 44.3 percent long-two-point shooting, all of which were unprecedented.

Cassel helped Maddie share the pressure of holding the ball from the outside, and Maddie also made Cassel score easily.

The ball dispute that Magic fans were worried about in the offseason did not appear, and the Magic team was already lacking a third outside point of possession, and originally they only had Maddie and Armstrong two outside players who were worthy of the top team's ball handling ability; Kassel, who is already at this age, also needs a better attacking environment.

23-year-old Maddie, 26-year-old Duncan, and 33-year-old Cassel, they have just come to a delicate balance point at different ages and stages.

Lakers fans now explode every time they see the word 'Spider-Man', because Li Ao, Kobe, and O'Neal not only have the right style of play, but also the age is also very compatible, and the peak stage will inevitably be staggered.

The Clippers fielded a starting lineup of Bibby, Ao Lee, Gerard Wallace, Matt Harprin and O'Neal Jr.

Gerard Wallace's performances in the first few games have made Gentry determined to focus on his development.

Gentry invested a lot of resources in Gerald Wallace last season, with trainers circling around and a well-known personal trainer who took a fancy to Gerald Wallace's talent.

Now that Gerard Wallace is firmly in the starting position, instead of the more comprehensive big Q in the upper position, it is because Gerard Wallace is starting to cash in on his talent.

Although Gerard Wallace is still reckless defensively, and his offensive ability is only cutting into the frame and not very good, he is talented, dares to fight, and always rushes to the front, driving the defensive enthusiasm of his teammates...... In the first round, the tail selected a genius with top defensive talent and good offensive talent, and made a lot of money.

The Magic fielded a starting lineup of Cassel, Maddy, Mike Miller, Clifford Robinson, Duncan.

At 8 p.m., the game began.

O'Neal Jr. beat Duncan to win the jump ball, and the Clippers took the lead.

Li Ao singled Maddie in a high position, and turned around and rushed forward in the face of the sticker.

After Maddie was overcome, he turned around and chased after him, but he found that he couldn't catch up!

However, when he saw his teammates moving in the middle, he immediately coordinated defensively, moving towards the left side of the free throw line and blocking Matt Haprin who cut in.

Clifford-Robinson blocked Li Ao with a supplementary defense, Li Ao rushed to close range against Clifford-Robinson, Clifford-Robinson had excellent footsteps, couldn't bear it but did not lose position, and created an opportunity for Duncan to make up for the defense.

Li Ao glanced at the other side, Duncan, Clifford-Robinson, and Maddie cut off the three-second zone, he didn't force the ball to O'Neal Jr., grabbed the ball and turned around, stepped back and made a close-range jumper...... "bang"...... Iron.

Li Ao feels excellent at shooting, but Duncan's shooting interference ability is too strong, and his power is still affected.

Doug Rivers, as an opponent, can trust the coach's ability to be overturned, even if he is down 3-1.

But the coach's ability to build the system ...... Li Ao saw it.

After getting Clifford Robinson, a top power forward with defensive tandem ability and complementary defense ability, the Magic's defense has been greatly improved, and even integrated the Jazz's set into the defensive system.

Li Ao felt that Sloan was really miserable.

Sloane had worked so hard to come up with a way to deal with the Triangle Attack, which he had never defeated by himself, but the Celtics in the original plane did.

Now that the 'Angels City duo' are both playing triangle offense, after seeing the Clippers use the Jazz's defensive strategy to kill the Lakers last season and prevent the Lakers from completing the dynasty again, in this era when the rules are unprecedentedly beneficial to defense, there are bound to be more teams to follow the Jazz's example, although not every team can do it.

The Magic were able to complete the mid-lane cut thanks to Clifford Robinson, who is about to be 36 years old.

The player, an absolute iron man, has been sidelined less than 10 times in the first 13 years of his career, and was named to the All-Defensive Team last season at the age of 35, and he has continued his top-tier defensive performance this season.

Based on his trust in the stability of Duncan's team, after one round, Li Ao knew that it was time to train him, Bibby, and O'Neal Jr.

Jordan was on the bench and had to rely on a few of them to open the game.

Li Ao is very motivated, Bibby and O'Neill Jr. are also very motivated, but tonight this whetstone is a bit hard......

After playing for more than 4 minutes, the score was 6-10, Gentry called a timeout and made an early substitution, putting on the twin towers of O'Neal Jr. and Campbell, Li Ao and Big Q partnered on the front line, plus Bibby, to stabilize the defense.

As for the offense...... Gentry asked Li Ao and Bibido to exercise, and O'Neal Jr. couldn't count on it tonight, as long as he could do a good job of blocking and dismantling.

Gentry has been reshuffled in personnel, and the commentators of the three TV stations have praised it again and again, saying that it has grown a lot compared to last season.

Last season's Gentry, he shook Spider-Man with defensive problems, shook the basketball god with offensive problems, and shook the big problem God with Hero...... This kind of strain is not bad, but it can only be said that micro-manipulation is not good.

This adjustment shows the progress of Gentry's micro-exercises.

did not rush to replace Jordan, nor did he add additional tasks to Li Ao, but started with role players, and the substitutions were also targeted.

However, if you don't do it right, it will definitely have an effect.

Spider-Man, the White Devil, and the high school student were beaten up by Fat tonight.

At the time of the official timeout in the first quarter, the score came to 14-8 and the Magic's lead came to six points.

After the official timeout, the Clippers sent the core combination of Li Ao, Jordan, and Odom, and the three of them played a wave of 8-0 on the court with their individual ability, and the score was overtaken by two points.

During this period, Maddie and Clifford Robinson were replaced to rest, and Cassel and Duncan led the team, and the two did not waver because the opponent played a climax, insisted on stability, survived these rounds, and played a 10-6 score for the remainder of the game, regaining a two-point lead at the end of the first quarter.

Entering the interval, Jordan shook his head.

This opponent is not normal, he has just led the team with Spider-Man to play a wave of orgasms, and the result is like a punch on cotton, and he doesn't get the feedback he wants.

The key is that this opponent is still strangely strong!

It's been 5 months since the last meeting, right? What really happened to this team......

…

Duncan is a special player, and Maddie, who followed Duncan at the critical stage of moving from the bench to the starter, also has that trait, especially after trying his friend's style of play in the Finals and finding that he can't do it.

And after the two have been playing together for a long time, Maddie's personality traits are also influencing Duncan.

Stability, acceptance of fate, two characteristics delicately combined.

Maddie and Duncan are now in pursuit of ultimate stability.

They believe that stability is the only way to play their strongest strength, and if they lose, they accept that they are not strong enough, not that stability is wrong.

The defeat in the finals made them very unwilling, and there was a little more paranoia in their personality and style of play, and they went in the direction they felt was right.

The two embarked on this path, and they didn't know how it would end in the future, but the feedback they received at the moment gave them a strong motivation.

Some superstars will ask their teammates to do a lot of things, even things beyond the ability of their teammates, and their teammates have done it, because he has led meritoriously, and if he doesn't do it well, his teammates will be CBA, and even the lore ball that is 1 point behind will be passed to a blue-collar power forward.

And Duncan and Maddy, after feeling a wave of isolation in the finals, although they felt that it was necessary to bring in excellent teammates, they did not pin their hopes on new teammates, but became more demanding of themselves, even with teammates like Cassel and Clifford Robinson, they did not ask too much, they just needed these two to do what they had to do...... It is better to rely on others than on yourself.

The two of them led the team like this, so that Clifford Robinson, who will turn 36 years old, felt very comfortable and played very freely.

Kassel is also more relaxed than ever, before he was in many teams, the management disliked him, the coach despised him, and his teammates looked down on him, but he still had to carry the team forward, and the two cores here respected him very much, although he didn't talk to him, but he never showed the disdainful eyes of Ray Allen and Big Dog, and he didn't look down on him and point at him to win like those two, he played easier, faster and more efficiently.

Clifford Robinson and Cassel actively cooperated with the TT combination to adjust the style of play, and quickly integrated into the stable flow system of the TT combination, which directly raised the strength of the Magic team by one notch.

Last season's Magic team was stable and strong.

This season, the Magic team has become stable and terrifying!

After suppressing the Clippers' comeback in the first quarter, the Magic continued to maintain offensive and defensive performance in the second quarter, and the Clippers were forced to replace the strongest lineup at the end of the second quarter and just hit the opponent.

The combination of Bibby, Li Ao, Jordan, Matt Harplin, and O'Neal Jr., with the improvement of Li Ao, O'Neal Jr., and Matt Harprin's strength, Bibby and Jordan remain stable and stronger than last season, and the Magic team is difficult to suppress even if its strength rises.

But unlike the Clippers' strength fluctuations at different stages, the strength of the Magic team has almost no fluctuations!

Moreover, although the strongest lineup of the Clippers had the upper hand in the face of the strongest lineup of the Magic team, it failed to play as strong as it did against the Lakers and Pistons, and the TT combination led the team to withstand the Clippers' counterattack.

At the end of the third quarter, the Magic team regained the advantage, and Gentry did not let Jordan stay on the court in response to this situation, but chose to let Bibby, Li Ao, Odom, and O'Neal Jr. take the lead.

The result...... Didn't fight.

At 10:26 p.m., the game ended.

Duncan 20 points, 13 boards, 1 assist, 1 steal and 2 blocks, Maddy 17 points, 10 boards, 3 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks, Mike Miller 12 points, Cassel 19 points and 8 assists, Clifford Robinson 11 points, 4 boards, 2 assists and 1 block......

Li Ao 19 points, 11 boards, 3 assists, 2 steals and 6 blocks, Jordan 19 points, O'Neal Jr. 11 points and 11 boards, Bibby 12 points and 6 assists, Odom 7 points, 8 boards and 3 assists......

The Magic defeated the Clippers 99-94 to end the Clippers' five-game winning streak!

…

That night, Li Ao couldn't sleep, knocked on the door of the editor's room, and the editor reluctantly told him that the video would not be available until at least tomorrow morning, and sent him away.

Watching Spider-Man leave depressed, the editor's heart was blocked, which team will take the editor with him when he plays away? He's the No. 1 unlucky guy in the sky.

However, he doesn't blame Li Ao, he admires it, he has been an editor on the Clippers for more than ten years, and it is the first time he has met such a hard-working genius.

And this genius is working harder and harder, and he used to wait until the next day to ask him for a video, but now he came that night, what time is it now? Half past two in the morning!

Even if you are unwilling to lose, you have to let your subordinates sleep well! If you don't sleep well, you will have to deduct money if you make a mistake at work!

The editor's fist tightened again, but the thought of Spider-Man trying so hard loosened his fist.

It's definitely not that the new boss has money and the new general manager is paid overtime.

Li Ao's side is actually not as unwilling as the editor thinks.

Lose, lose in the playoffs, and it doesn't matter if you play one or two games in the regular season.

Of course, there will be negative emotions when the opening streak is broken, but that emotion is gone with a phone call to the assistant aunt.

He couldn't sleep because of the shock the Magic team brought him.

If you want to say how strong the Magic team is, no, no matter how strong it is, it can be as strong as the Lakers in 01?

But the temperament of this team made Li Ao's scalp tingle when he recalled it.

It's like a bunch of emotionless competition machines!

Li Ao's admiration for Duncan was a little more.

Shouldn't normal people find the boss to force the palace and replace the incompetent coach?

What kind of brain circuits would have come up with this method to make up for Rivers's lack of on-the-spot adaptability?

The Magic team is now moving in the direction of the 'war machine', perhaps even stronger than the 'odd-year Spurs' in the original plane.

If you want to win this opponent, in addition to crushing your strength, Li Ao really can't think of any other way!
