"Boss you're so good, Michael and Mike scored when Cassel was also scoring, I was going to be desperate, but Boss you keep scoring in the last 58 seconds......"

After the game, he returned to the locker room, and Da Q gathered around Li Ao for a fart.

After filming the fart, Da Q said fearfully: "It's too uncomfortable to play against the Magic team, and it feels good to reverse them, but I still have a headache when I think of the game just now, if I meet them again in the finals...... Oh, God! ”

Li Ao nibbled on two hamburgers, felt alive, and responded: "This is Duncan...... I think we have a problem with our strategic direction tonight, and it's not a good choice to play defensive with this Magic team. ”

"Boss, you're right...... But we can't attack them unless you and Michael are on the field, otherwise we don't have enough offensive continuity, and they will still catch up. Big Q first agreed, and then put forward different opinions.

"The season has just started and when they play a few dozen more games, we'll be able to learn more about their defence and maybe figure it out...... At least it won't be worse than these two fights! ”

Big Q: "......"

Listening to the boss's words, why do you seem to enjoy playing against this magic team?

If you don't understand, then you don't want to, and you'll grow your brain fast.

In this game, the Clippers players were numb by the stability of the Magic team, but they won, or reversed + quasi-lore to win, they were maddened by the game process, but everyone was excited.

Public opinion in the outside world has become a sensation!

Spider-Man scored 9 points in 58 seconds and single-handedly reversed the Magic team to win!

This is a topic of hype in the media.

The gods and ghosts played a 16-7 comeback in three and a half minutes, and the topic was obviously not as strong as Spider-Man's 9 points in 58 seconds.

However, the media hyped it so much, the fans who watched the game on the spot, and the hundreds of millions of fans who watched the live broadcast of the Rabbit Eagle, did not feel that there was anything wrong.

When God and Ghost scored 7 points in a row, the difference did not shrink substantially, and there was still a 5-point difference, and the Magic team was invincible.

The most impressive thing for fans is that Spider-Man played the first 47 minutes, went all out on both offensive and defensive ends, and was so tired that he couldn't move his feet, and suddenly went crazy and scored two three-pointers and one to break through 2+1.

Since the start of the season, there have been a lot of players who have been very irritable.

Kobe Bryant, who occupies the top of the scoring charts.

Although he was plagued by injuries again, O'Neal started the game with a short start due to proper weight control.

Iverson, who has recovered from a knee injury and has seen a surge in his offensive efficiency.

The defensive end has improved tremendously, and Carter started the game with an integrated offensive and defensive performance.

Attacking the pistons in the backcourt with two shots.

After the team switched back to an offensive and defensive style of play, he concentrated his shots, and for the first time in his career, he averaged 25+ per game.

Big Dog, Lewis, Cassel, who behaved too well to be shocked......

The opening stage can be described as a star-studded one!

As the defending champion, although the Clippers have a good record and the team has a high degree of attention, the most popular of the Clippers' stars is Jordan, who has a 50.6% shooting rate off the bench.

As the only active member of the 20+ FMVP club, Li Ao had a poor start.

It's not bad, but the data and personal performance are not up to expectations.

Therefore, in the past period of time, Li Ao's topic is not as hot as those who are irritable, and the topic of his performance is not as hot as the easter egg topic of his cameo in the movie.

After Li Ao single-handedly reversed the Magic team in the last 58 seconds, the media 'justified' him.

played 10 games in the opening game, averaging 24.1 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 2.3 blocks per game, which are all down from last season.

But 51 percent shooting from the field and 39 percent from three-point range both hit career highs, and 88.1 percent from the free-throw line was also excellent.

The drop in scoring was a career-low number of shots he took from the game, averaging just 17 shots per game.

And although the block statistics on the defensive end have dropped a lot, the 2.5 steals per game ranks third in the league, behind Iverson's 2.8 steals per game and Artest's 2.7 steals per game.

Steals and blocks both broke 2, the only one in the league!

Throughout the history of the NBA, there are only two people who can get this data before Li Ao - Da Meng and Admiral!

…

"Half a year ago, I was saying I didn't deserve to be a defender, and now you're hyping me as a candidate for the best defensive player? The media is really, and they don't give me a chance to develop lewdly, and now those people will definitely pay attention to my flank defense......"

After playing the Magic, the Clippers had a day off and left Los Angeles for Oakland on the 22nd to start a three-game road streak in the West.

Jordan listened to Li Ao's words, watched Li Ao hold yesterday morning's newspaper, and wanted to change positions.

This product is cheap and sells well!

Thinking of that game against the Magic, Jordan was still a little sour.

Bibby doesn't care who gets praised after the game, but Jordan does!

Without the two of them scoring 7 points in a row, can it be reversed?

He can't show it yet, when he was interviewed the night before yesterday, the reporter only mentioned that Li Ao scored 9 points in a row at the end, and he had to praise Spider-Man for a wave to show his generosity.

As for winning the best defensive player, Jordan feels that Li Ao is not good now, which is a gimmick hyped by the media, but if he continues to defend himself, as long as Li Ao can maintain his current defensive performance, he will basically be stable...... He's a bit sour, and he's only started to be named to the All-Defensive Team in the fourth year of his career.

These two talented forwards and swingmen in Los Angeles grew up eating, and the defense matured so early.

Went to Oakland for a night of rest, and on the 23rd, the Clippers started back-to-back away games.

The Warriors continue to swing year after year.

They have a talent that the whole league covets, but they just can't get up.

Two centers who average double-doubles per game, Troy Murphy and Dampier, Jamison who can score 25+ points per game, second-year scoring guard who averages 18 points per game, dunk king Richardson, and meat shield Foyer and Fortson...... This group of people has good stats, but they can't win the game.

Li Ao played 36 minutes, 8 of 15, including 2 of 4 three-pointers, plus 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 24 points, 7 boards, 4 assists, 5 steals and 3 blocks.

O'Neal Jr. had 17 points and 11 boards, Bibby had 13 points and 8 assists, Odom had 16 points, 7 boards and 4 assists, and Jordan had 14 points, 3 boards and 2 assists...... The Clippers beat the Warriors 104-89.

On the 25th, the Clippers came to Denver to challenge the Nuggets on the road.

The Nuggets did anything to make a mess, and the outside group created for McDies and Juwan Howard last season did not stay last summer, and the contract expired without renewing it, and the contract was sold cheaply.

The Nuggets' best player so far this season is Camby, who averaged 12.7 points, 10.1 rebounds and 3.7 blocks per game in 13 games.

The Nuggets have a 2-11 record and are at the bottom of the league, beating the 2-10 Cavaliers.

Facing this opponent, the Clippers players played sloppily in the first three quarters, trailing 70-72.

Entering the intersection, Jordan turned on the scolding mode, sat down after scolding, and watched his teammates go up to be angry.

The Nuggets led the Clippers after the third quarter, and everyone was excited, the team didn't want to win, they still wanted to win, and which player would be happy to be scolded for playing a bad team?

As a result, in the fourth quarter, they were prevented from shooting 3 of 15 in a single quarter, plus 2 of 4 free throws, and only scored 8 points in a single quarter, and they made 8 mistakes in a single quarter!

The Clippers relied on defense to fight back and scored 23 points in a single quarter!

Li Ao 25 points, 8 boards, 2 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks, Bibby 12 points and 5 assists, Jordan 11 points and 3 assists, Odom 14 points, 6 boards and 4 assists, big Q 16 points, O'Neal Jr. 11 points, 8 boards, 1 assist and 3 blocks......

93-80, the Clippers beat the Nuggets in the final quarter and won six in a row.

After the game, Li Ao looked at Camby's data and gave a thumbs up.

2-of-6 shooting, plus 6-of-8 free throws, got 10 points, 15 rebounds, 4 blocks, 7 offensive rebounds out of 15 rebounds, and the free throws basically relied on secondary offense.

I don't know whether to describe this golden generation star show as enlightened or self-indulgent.

Anyway, as soon as Camby's style of play comes up, his data will be useless...... It should be useful to look good.

Kassel's style of play is so useful, but it doesn't look good, and he has never received an annual salary of 10 million yuan in his life.

On the 27th, the Clippers came to Rose City to challenge the Trail Blazers.

The Trail Blazers have had a miserable year......

The inside strength has improved a lot, Tianzun and Sugar Man have entered their peak, the former averaged 20.6 points, 7.4 boards and 2.8 assists per game, and the latter averaged 14 points, 12.2 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game.

It also ushered in the comeback of Sabonis, who played an average of 16 minutes per game with 6.4 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 0.6 blocks.

In addition to being old and strong, Sabonis returned and suppressed internal contradictions.

Pippen also continued his performance, averaging 10.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 4 assists and 1.6 steals per game.

After the Sticks Wells got a four-year, $29 million contract, his performance declined slightly, and his average points per game dropped to 15 points, but he was not bad as a sixth man.

Randolph had playing time, averaging 8 points and 4 rebounds per game, and worked with Sabonis to prop up the interior of the bench.

Ruben Patterson defensively improved and became a defensive gatekeeper for the front line......

The Trail Blazers have improved a lot from last season in many aspects, but the key core point guard has collapsed!

The 29-year-old flying squirrel has fallen off a cliff, averaging 5.3 points and 3.3 assists in 21 minutes per game since the beginning of the game, with a shooting rate of an astonishing 33.3%.

This is not bad, in the first three games of the opening game, the flying squirrel turned into a short round round, 0 points and 0 assists in 3 consecutive games, and a total of 11 turnovers in 3 games.

The performance of the flying squirrel completely disrupted the plan of the Trail Blazers head coach Morris Cheeks, and after a few games, Morris Cheeks was forced to use Derrick Anderson as the starting point guard, put the flying squirrel on the bench to deal with the opposing backup point guard, and adjust the tactical system...... After playing for more than half a month of the new season, the Trail Blazers gradually stabilized the situation.

At present, the Trail Blazers have played 15 games, 7 wins and 8 losses, and the winning rate is less than 5 percent.

Against such an opponent, the Clippers players are full of confidence...... Then send warmth.

102-96, the Trail Blazers upset the Clippers and ended the Clippers' six-game winning streak.

Tonight, the Trail Blazers sent a starting lineup of Derrick Anderson, Bunch Wells, Ruben Patterson, Tenzun, and Sugar Man, and the Clippers started to play against Jordan.

The starting five are all under the age of 30 and refuse to let Spider-Man turn on the old age mode.

Compared with the 11-1 Clippers, who played quite loosely, the Trail Blazers, who had a 7-8 win rate of less than 5 percent, must fight every game, plus the Trail Blazers team's lineup was properly adjusted tonight and the full state was online, and the Clippers played a score of 36-27 in the final quarter and failed to fill the hole dug in the first three quarters.

In order to avoid being pitted, Morris Cheeks didn't let the flying squirrels play directly tonight, anyway, there are many of them, and guards like McGinnis and Antonio Daniels are just substitutes in the bench for the Trail Blazers.

The Trail Blazers' total salary this season has reached 105 million US dollars, ranking first on the salary list, and the luxury tax to be paid is higher than the total salary of the two teams in Texas, and the depth of the roster is no worse than that of the Clippers.

…

"Rise Again: ...... Goal: 10 wins in a row...... Failed......"

After defeating the Warriors and winning 5 in a row, Li Ao received the task, saying that he didn't get 10 consecutive wins at the beginning, and after tying the opening 5 consecutive wins, he was given another task to win 10 consecutive games in the opening game.

Looking at the schedule of the next few games, he was quite confident that he felt that it was the Jazz at the end of the month, the Nets and the Pacers at the beginning of next month that could end them, but they fell in front of the Trail Blazers.

Every strong team in the west can't be underestimated!

Now that he thinks about it carefully, the Trail Blazers started with 1-4 and were 7-8 before playing against them, that is, 6-4 in the last 10 games, which is not bad, and it was obtained in the tactical adjustment stage, and the Trail Blazers are in the rising period after the trough recently, and each game is likely to be stronger than the last.

After three consecutive games, the Clippers got two more days off.

On the morning of the 28th, the Clippers flew back to Los Angeles, and Gentry announced that there would be no training scheduled for today or tomorrow, which won cheers from the players.

"The boss is so cool!"

"Boss, you're the number one coach in the league!"

"What the league's No. 1 coach, the owner is the best coach in history......"

Gentry laughed and cursed when he heard the sycophants of the team, and sat down next to his disciple.

"Leo, you seem to have questions?"

Li Ao shook his head: "No!" It's questioning. ”

“……”

"Our tactical adjustment progress and run-in progress don't seem to be good?"

Gentry also shook his head: "It's not bad, it's bad."

We played a season last season, the system, the tactics, and it's very complete.

The newcomer, Yaric, settled in quickly, quickly integrated into the triangle attack, and he also found a role for him in other tactical plays.

Hill is an experienced veteran who knows what to do on the pitch and has always been able to contribute in his limited playing time.

Our tactical coordination has reached a very high level, but it has also become more difficult to adjust, and in some games I tried to adjust, but it was better not to adjust, so after a month of play, we didn't gain much, only Michael got familiar with the substitute play, which is a big gain. ”

Li Ao wondered: "Then shouldn't we practice more?" ”

"It's time to practice more, but not now, we're at a new stage."

"A new phase...... Is it because of the risk of injury or illness? ”

Li Ao thought of the basket that his junior brother was 'immeasurable' to attack Tianzun and Sabonis last night, and the basket was overturned and twisted to his thigh.

"That's right, we've been fighting for a month, and no matter how well we adjust, it's time to lighten the load.

Gerrard's injury last night was not just a lack of calmness, the root cause was his lack of experience in the game, his lack of composure and his lack of clarity in his judgment of his opponents and himself...... He didn't play much last season and started this season, always playing against the opponent's strongest perimeter and possibly suffering other injuries if he didn't twist his leg.

Matt is also mainly attacking the frame, and doing the work of a blue-collar power forward, his style of play is also easy to get injured, he had shoulder discomfort when he played the Nuggets, but the doctor did not refuse to give him a certificate of appearance, he did not tell others, and silently endured the pain.

Luckily, Jermaine is now calm and doesn't challenge himself, and Lamar is in good shape at the start, but he can't be careless.

Don't worry, we've only been playing for a month, and it's not too late to adjust, even in the playoffs. ”

"No wonder you only let Matt play for 10 minutes last night......" Li Ao had no doubts.

Gentry smiled: "Actually, this is not arranged by me, it is arranged by the big boss, his tolerance for injury and suspension is higher than I thought, he wants to let Matt rest directly, he even wants to have a physical examination after every game, I refused his kindness, there is not much time to rest, it is too frustrating to have a physical examination after every game, and the injury may become more." ”

When Li Ao heard this, he remembered the super small forward who never knew when he would be injured or when he could play, and Ballmer's injury tolerance for that one was unique in the entire NBA history.

It's very Ballmer!

…

The team did not arrange training, Li Ao did not stop working hard, and was practicing three points and two points in the afternoon and the next day.

His three-point shooting percentage has increased dramatically this season, and in addition to shooting more accurately, another reason is that there are fewer opportunities to shoot.

He shot 15-of-38 three-pointers in 13 games, averaging less than three shots per game and averaging 1.1 three-pointers per game.

Opponents have tightened his long-range and three-point defenses, and his mid-range shots are now concentrated in positions within a step or so of the free throw line, which is commonly known as a half-volley, followed by rim attack and counterattack, and there are far fewer long-range shooting opportunities than last season.

But the more this is the case, the more he has to practice well, if he can score steadily in the area where the opponent is strictly defending, he can better break through the opponent's defense and bring greater help to the team's attack.

After a two-day break, on Nov. 30, the final day of the inaugural game month, the Clippers faced the Jazz.

The Jazz have been on the verge of the Western Conference playoffs this season, about the same as last season.

With an average of 94 points per game and 91.9 points per game, the current 9-6 record is already good for the Jazz, who have not been particularly smooth in the offseason.

After the start of the game, the two teams directly launched a defensive battle, the first three quarters of the Clippers were defended to only score 19 points, 21 points, 24 points, although the Jazz scored 26 points in the first quarter, but the next two quarters were defended only 22 points and 15 points.

Relying on a frantic defensive performance of 24-15 in the third quarter, the Clippers outscored the Jazz by one point at 64-63 at the end of the third quarter.

In the final quarter, the Clippers came up with a 7-0 run to extend the lead to eight points, and then did not give the Jazz another chance.

Malone pulled his hips tonight, scoring only 11 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals on 4-of-12 shooting.

Andre Miller had a team-high 19 points plus nine assists, Kirilenko had 17 points, six rebounds, three assists, two steals and three blocks, Culbert Chaney had 17 points, and Stockton had 14 points and six assists off the bench...... It can't make up for Malone's performance tonight.

Li Ao shot 8-of-16 tonight, including 3-of-5 three-pointers, plus 3-of-3 free throws, and scored 22 points, 6 boards, 2 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.

O'Neal Jr. had 11 points, 13 boards, 2 assists and 2 blocks, Jordan had 17 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, and Bibby had 12 points and 6 assists......

89-84, the Clippers overtook the Jazz in the defensive battle and won!

The game was lost, Sloan didn't feel anything, the difference in strength was there, even if the opponent lost two starters, the opponent's strength advantage was still very large, and those two young starters were just tactical puzzles.

But Kirilenko's depressed appearance after the game was scolded by Sloan.

When there were no outsiders left, and there were only two evils left, Sloan couldn't hold back and cursed: "Spider-Man is really not human, he attacks desperately when he feels good, and when he feels bad, he goes to run without the ball, which is completely playing Andre." ”

Malone's tone was full of appreciation: "Spider-Man is very smart, he didn't blindly strengthen his comprehensiveness, but focused on improving his strengths, and when he singled Andre, he only used the most advantageous play, Andre's height and arm span interfered a lot with his shooting, and he used his strength and weight advantage to create opportunities......"

Sloan listened to Ma Long's praise of Li Ao and felt that something was wrong with this disciple!

But he didn't think much of it, and for their Jazz team, the most important player on their team right now is the talented Kirilenko.

Averaging 15 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.5 steals and 2.3 blocks per game, and playing 16 games since the beginning of the game, the sophomore Kirilenko has shown his versatility and is regarded by Sloan as the future of the team, more important than Andre Miller, who won the assist king.

Sloan said: "I don't even want to play against the Clippers anymore, Andre's psychological quality is too poor, and Spider-Man is that kind of character, I'm worried that Andre will be timid when he sees Spider-Man one day, which is even more terrifying than not being able to prevent it." ”

Malone said perfunctorily: "Then let him not guard against Spider-Man." ”

Sloan was so angry when he heard this, this is an idea that a normal person can come up with? This disciple is really wrong!

This was also the case when I played the Lakers and Kings before.

Stockton guessed his partner's idea and took over the conversation: "We can't let Andre not guard against Spider-Man, that will blow his confidence even more, the next time we fight, we can strengthen the defense of Spider-Man, sacrifice other defenses, block Spider-Man's score, and help Andre accumulate confidence." ”

Stockton's words successfully diverted Sloan's attention, and he thought it was a good idea!

Wins in the regular season are not so important to them, and when they retire, they will definitely have to accumulate talent through rottenness, and then they will have to lose......

After a playoff frenzy last season, Sloan let go of some of his persistence and started thinking about the future.

Stockton, who noticed the change in his partner's mentality, was not as depressed as he was in the original time and space, and considered this aspect more calmly.
