307. The Clippers are doing it again!
The Clippers had 1 day off after the Christmas game.
On the 27th, the Clippers hosted the Warriors.
Li Ao made 15 of 25 shots, including 2 of 4 three-pointers, plus 6 of 8 free throws, and scored 38 points, 8 boards, 2 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks; O'Neal Jr. had 21 points and 10 rebounds, and the two joined hands to lead the team to a 99-92 victory.
On the 27th, the Clippers hosted the Spurs.
Li Ao made 11 of 27 shots, including 1 of 5 three-pointers, plus 7 of 8 free throws, and scored 30 points, 6 boards, 3 assists, 3 steals and 1 block.
Combined with Bibby's 11 points and 7 assists, Odom's 11 points, 14 rebounds and 4 assists, Jordan's 20 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, and O'Neal Jr.'s 5 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks, the Clippers won 91-79.
In these two games, Li Ao played more than 40 minutes, and when he played the Warriors, the opponent's outside group defense was fierce, and even the inside line was pounced on the outside. When playing the Spurs, the opponent's interior and three-point defense were fierce, and Gentry let Jordan shoot more.
But no matter which aspect of the opponent's main defense, Li Ao has to play more and shoot more.
Halfway through the season, as the player with the best fitness and physical reserves in the team, Gentry put the burden on him.
Li Ao has no opinion on this, Jordan is not in the starting lineup, and the playing time is also less than 24 minutes, and he has many opportunities to practice singles on the court.
The two games totaled 96 minutes of game time and a total of 15 minutes of rest, which was good, longer than the rest time of the production team's donkeys.
On the 30th, the Clippers came to Phoenix to play the Suns.
Marbury played well in this game, shooting 5 of 10, including 1 of 2 three-pointers, plus 4 of 6 free throws, scoring 15 points, 6 rebounds and 12 assists, and the offensive performance was excellent.
With his help, the madman scored 29 points, Marion also had 18 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists, and Xiaobawang also performed well, scoring 11 points and 7 boards.
The addition of the madman makes up for the shortcomings of the Suns' starting lineup.
Marbury organizes the offense, Chacharidis eats cakes, Marion runs to cover and cut in, Bully shoots and singles in the air, and assists in control...... A madman is a player with a flawed personality, no bad ability, and a true team priority, with a unique style of play and a positive attitude.
The madman met Li Ao tonight and played hard, helping the Suns to score 107 points in a single game.
But it's a pity that the Clippers are doing better!
Li Ao shot 9 of 17, including 2 of 4 three-pointers, plus 4 of 5 free throws, and scored 24 points, 5 boards, 5 assists, 3 steals and 1 block.
Bibby had 16 points and 10 assists, Jordan had 16 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists, Q13 points, Odom 19 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists, and Odom had 12 points and 12 rebounds......
The Clippers narrowly defeated the Suns 111-107 to end 2002 with an eight-game winning streak!
…
On the 31st, the Clippers returned to Los Angeles, and Li Ao and his family spent New Year's Eve together.
After a day off, 2003 arrived.
January 1, the first day of the new year and the first game day of 2003 for the Clippers, was faced against the 76ers led by popular superstar Iverson.
At noon, the league announced the latest edition of the monthly awards.
The Heat's Caron Butler and the Spurs' Chris Wilcox won the Eastern and Western Rookie of the Month awards, respectively, while the Little Giants and Little Overlords both lost in December.
Rivers of the Magic and Gentry of the Clippers were named Eastern and Western Coach of the Month, respectively.
Kidd played 15 games in December, 12-3, averaging 21.4 points, 8.2 rebounds, 9.6 assists and 2.2 steals per game, and won the Eastern Conference Player of the Month award.
Li Ao played 16 games in December, with 13 wins and 3 losses, averaging 27.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.625 assists, 2.6 steals and 2.2 blocks per game, and won the Western Conference Player of the Month award.
Seeing the Clippers' record in December, fans were very surprised, because in mid-December, the media was still hyping that the Clippers were at a low ebb of defending the championship, during which the Clippers were 2-3, and after a month of play, good guys, the Clippers lost those 3 games in December, which is called a low tide?
However, in Li Ao's view, their performance in December is indeed a low ebb, 16 games, of the 13 games won, only 3 games won more than 10 points, and the average net win per game in a single month is only 6 points, compared with the average net win of 9.1 points per game in a single month in November.
In the recent wave of 8 consecutive wins, except for playing the Kings and Spurs, the other 6 games have dragged on to the last moment, relying on key balls to decide the winner.
They did encounter a lot of problems, but they relied on the tacit cooperation between teammates and the strong key ball ability of several stars to maintain their record.
At 8 p.m., the Clippers' home game against the 76ers begins.
After two months of play, the 76ers are also on the right track, currently playing 31 games, 15-16 and ranking eighth in the East.
It's not that strong, but it's much better than during the losing streak at the beginning, at least it's capable of winning.
The 76ers are averaging 95.1 points per game and conceding 96.6 points per game this season.
With Van Hough, Iverson is also healthier, and the 76ers are much stronger in explosive scoring ability than last season.
However, the 76ers were not so lucky tonight and failed to break out.
Iverson shot 9-of-21, made 4 three-point shots, and made 7-of-9 free throws to score 25 points, 2 boards, 5 assists and 2 steals.
Van Horn had 19 points, McGee had 15, and no one else on the 76ers had scored in double figures.
Li Ao 21 points, 13 boards, 4 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks, Bibby 15 points and 7 assists, Jordan 13 points, 5 boards and 2 assists, Odom 10 points, 10 boards and 5 assists, O'Neal Jr. 15 points, 10 boards, 1 assist, 1 steal and 2 blocks, and 17 points in the big Q......
106-97, the Clippers defeated the 76ers and won 9 consecutive victories!
On the 3rd, the Clippers will host the Spurs to challenge.
Arenas performed well tonight, shooting 7-of-18 from the field, but he scored 1 from 4 three-point shots, plus 7-of-8 free throws, and scored 22 points, which is not low, and the key is that he has 11 assists to lead the team to 96 points.
Bowen did a good job of defending Li Ao tonight, Li Ao only made 9 of 24 shots, including 3 three-point shots, plus 6 of 7 free throws to score 24 points, plus 6 boards, 3 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks.
But Jordan stood up tonight, shooting 7 of 14, plus 12 of 13 free throws, soaring 26 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists!
plus Bibby's 12 points and 3 assists, Odom's 12 points and 6 boards, and O'Neal Jr.'s 14 points, 14 boards and 5 blocks......
101-96, the Clippers narrowly defeated the Spurs and won 10 consecutive wins!
The Clippers didn't have a 10-game winning streak when the season was off to a flying start, and they didn't have a 10-game winning streak when fans were most optimistic about them at the end of November and December.
But at the junction of the not-so-favoured pre-season and mid-season, they won 10 in a row!
The performance of the Clippers' young stars and old stars is a rebellion!
…
The mid-season aircraft carrier is here again!
Since Lee's rookie season, the Clippers have been particularly outstanding in the middle of the season.
In the middle of the 00-01 season, the Clippers played a mighty 10-game winning streak to lay the foundation for a final 50-win streak.
In the middle of last season, the Clippers went on a 14-game winning streak to set the stage for a regular season championship.
This time the Clippers' winning streak came much earlier, just starting in 2003, and the 10-game winning streak came!
Some experts questioned that the Clippers did not have many strong opponents during this time.
Clippers fans strongly retorted - the Magic, Lakers, and Mavericks also had similar schedules during this period, why couldn't they get 10 consecutive wins?
When Li Ao saw the questioning news, he maliciously speculated that this was the official trust of the NBA, and after the questioning, the topic became even hotter.
The main reason is that this question looks too stupid, and it is a very stupid way to evaluate the winning streak by whether the schedule is easy or not, and the first in the league can lose to the bottom of the league if you are not in good shape.
The Magic team was upset by the Nuggets who were thrown away and fell from the first place in the league.
And the top is the Clippers, who have just won 10 consecutive wins, the Super Mavericks and the Magic, and after nearly two months, they have returned to the top of the league!
After winning 10 in a row, the Clippers also ushered in good news - Matt Harprin, who was out of injury for two weeks, passed the team doctor's examination and the injury has healed and can come back!
On the 4th, the Clippers faced the Grizzlies back-to-back at home, and Matt Halprin's return gave the Clippers a better chance of winning.
The Grizzlies have ushered in strong reinforcements this season, not with the introduction of many outstanding players, but with a change of head coach.
After a 2-8 opening game, the Logo Man fired his original head coach, Sidney Lowe.
Sidney Lowe coached, the logo man is actually very satisfied, and Gasol, Battier, Margeti and other talents have been well cultivated.
But when they first arrived in the city of Memphis, the fans waited patiently for a year, and the second year started with 2 wins and 8 losses, and there were no results, and the fans gradually lost patience, and the logo man had to fire the head coach.
Since you want to make results, you have to have a good coach, and the logo man poached the legendary coach Hubby Brown from Time Warner Cable Sports.
Hubby Brown has only been in the NBA for 10 years, won one Coach of the Year award, has a poor coaching record, and has not achieved much in the playoffs, but he is called a legend because every time he takes over a team, he is the bottom of the league last season.
In the summer of '76, he became head coach of the Hawks, his first NBA head coach, the Hawks had only 12 wins last season, soared to 31 wins in '76-77, reached the playoffs the next season, won the best coach, and the next season he was among the top teams with 50 wins.
In the early '80s, Hubby Brown took over the Knicks and went straight from 22 wins to a playoff team in his first year, finishing second in the best coach poll for two years in a row.
In the mid-80s, the Knicks owner forced Hubby Brown to play in order to fight Gorilla Ewing, and after two years of endurance, he chose to retire and become no longer the head coach, despairing of the NBA's management, saying that these rich owners are not as good as the poor people in the ABA league.
His coaching philosophy is to never give up, even if it is the least favored lineup, to strive for victory, which is very different from the modern professional basketball concept that can make money in the era of magic birds.
This is 15 years, and he has never returned to the NBA as a head coach...... The logo man was able to bring this one back to the NBA, causing a sensation at the beginning of the season.
Hubby Brown didn't disappoint those 'basketball fans', and his arrival gave the Grizzlies a new look.
The Grizzlies still can't win much, and they are only 9-22 so far, and only 7-14 under Hubby Brown.
But the Grizzlies are no longer the same team they used to give up after a setback, and the players' attitude to the game has fundamentally changed, and they will not give up until the last minute in every game.
The team's offensive and defensive system is also slowly being built, and the game is gradually becoming more disciplined!
Tonight, facing the Clippers, who started back-to-back games with weak defense, the Grizzlies scored 38 points in the first quarter and led the Clippers by 11 points at 38-27!
In the second quarter, the Grizzlies also scored 33 points, but the Clippers got serious in the second quarter, Li Ao scored 12 points on 5 shots and 2 free throws, Jordan shot 5 of 6 in the half quarter, plus 2 of 2 free throws and scored 12 points, and the two worked together to lead the team to 40 points in a single quarter!
At halftime, the Clippers tied the score to 67-71 and narrowed the deficit to four points.
In the third quarter, the Clippers completely overpowered the Grizzlies, 26-19 in the single quarter, and outscored the Grizzlies by 3 points at 93-90.
In the final quarter, the Grizzlies showed resilience that the Clippers players had never felt on this team, and the Grizzlies played a 17-13 score in the first half of the quarter, outscoring the Clippers by one point at 107-106.
However, in the second half of the quarter, the Grizzlies did not hold on, scoring only 9 points, while the Clippers relied on the individual ability of the star to score 12 points.
As Margeti broke through to the layup and was photographed by Li Ao, the final whistle blew.
Margeti scored a game-high 33 points on 9-of-15 shooting, plus 15-of-16 free throws tonight.
Gasol had 16 points, 13 rebounds and 13 assists.
Li Ao's junior brother Dajuan Wagner had 16 points and three assists.
Yaric's old teammate and Yugoslav swingman Gordon Kirisek scored 15 points.
Battier had 12 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.
For the Clippers, Li Ao scored 31 points, 8 boards, 5 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks.
Jordan had 21 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists, O'Neal Jr. had 15 points and 10 boards, Bibby had 11 points, 3 rebounds and 8 assists, Matt Harprin had 11 points, and Odom had 11 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists......
118-116, the Clippers narrowly beat the Grizzlies by two points!
…
Gasol's triple-double and the talent of the Grizzlies' young players made fans feel the charm of the logo man.
Missing Li Ao, the logo man's general manager career has an indelible stain, but he still relies on the league's premier team building ability to make the media and fans recognize his ability again.
Dajuan Wagner, Gordon Kirisek, Margeti, Gasol at the core, with Battier and a physical Swift on the bench......
This group of young talents, whether they are cultivated slowly or traded for famous stars in one step, have very good prospects for the future.
However, for the Grizzlies who have not really risen, fans are also amazed by the ability of the logo man to turn decay into magic.
The biggest thing fans are paying attention to at the moment is the Clippers who continue to soar.
After narrowly beating the Grizzlies, the Clippers won 11 in a row!
How long can the Angel City aircraft carrier's winning streak continue? Can we surpass last season's longest 14-game winning streak?
In January, when sports news was dominated by the NFL playoffs, the Clippers fought their way out, and the Clippers were able to briefly dominate the headlines after each game on the websites of major sports media outlets.
After the 3rd consecutive main game, the Clippers opened the 3rd consecutive game.
The day after the Grizzlies, the Clippers came to Seattle non-stop, and after a night's rest, No. 6 came to Key Arena to challenge the SuperSonics.
There are several big-budget teams in the NBA, and the SuperSonics are one of them.
Except for the Knicks, other local teams have actually operated very well this year.
The Clippers, Trail Blazers, and Mavericks are all top teams.
The SuperSonics team was reduced to being with the Knicks, but it was not that the management of the SuperSonics had a problem with the operation, but that they were pitted with the rain man and the Moon-Baker.
Who would have thought that these two would be able to collapse their state by drinking at the age of twenty-seven or eighteen at their peak?
met these two people, directly defeated the supersonic team for 10 years, and wasted 5 years of Peyton's peak.
Many people were amazed by Payton's performance in the 95-96 season as the best defensive player, the team to the first place in the West, and the Finals, but in fact, his best season was not that season, but the 99-00 season.
In the season at the turn of the century, Payton averaged career highs in points, rebounds, and assists per game, and for the first time in his career, he ranked first on the guard line in the All-NBA vote.
That season, the media's evaluation - if the SuperSonics team has 55 wins, the MVP will not be O'Neal's business, and maybe 50 wins can threaten O'Neal's MVP.
But unfortunately, Payton played the best performance of his career that year, and the SuperSonics only had 45 wins.
Two alcoholic men ruined Peyton's prime, and Schultz, a coffee seller, lost tens of millions of dollars a year.
Today's Payton has been reduced to the point of 'showing off his life' when he encounters a top team.
He chose to use his strength and performance to attract the attention of the top teams, and then 'inadvertently' revealed his idea of joining the championship team, waiting for the strong team to invite him, and then reluctantly agreed.
This season, Payton averaged 22 points, 4.6 rebounds, 8.6 assists and 1.8 steals per game, leading the team to a 16-18 record, ranking behind the Spurs and ranking tenth in the West.
Aside from Kidd, no one is better at the point guard position.
Tonight, in the face of the menacing and imposing Clippers, Payton also quacked and killed, Bibby, Yarich, Big Q, and Gerard Wallace couldn't prevent him, Li Ao guarded him, and Lewis took off.
I thought it was a suppression battle, but it turned out to be another anxious tug-of-war, for which the Clippers are used to it, and it has been like this in every game recently, and there is not as much pressure as before, just do it.
Under Payton's leadership, the SuperSonics and the Clippers fought from beginning to end until 11:51 of the final quarter, and Lewis hit a long two-point shot, giving the SuperSonics a one-point lead over the Clippers at 88-87.
Seeing that he was about to win, Payton was ecstatic, and it was his night to prove himself against the top teams...... Then the exhausted Li Ao relied on Desmond Mason to catch the ball and turned around to hit a two-point shot, which also caused Desmond Mason to foul and add free throws......
2+1, Li Aozhun kills the supersonic team!
Lewis's catch-and-shoot three-pointer with 2.3 seconds left was interfered with by Li Ao, who had regained a little strength, and the SuperSonics failed to counter the lore.
90-88, the Clippers relied on Li Ao's last attack 2+1 to defeat the SuperSonics team and win 12 consecutive victories!
Payton shot 9 of 20 tonight, including 2 of 6 three-pointers, plus 7 of 7 free throws, scored 27 points and 8 assists, and his personal performance and leading the team were excellent, but he still lost to Li Ao, who played 46 minutes and scored 18 points, 8 boards, 6 assists, 2 steals and 5 blocks.
was killed at the last moment, and Payton was not much unwilling.
Spider-Man is awesome! The key ball is the first in the world! Talent history is invincible!
The glove glared at Spider-Man - look at me! Look at me! I'm much better than Bibi, if you had me, you wouldn't have fought so hard, look at me twice......
…
After several tough games in a row, the Clippers finally played an easy game at No. 8, beating the Grizzlies 104-88 to make it 13 in a row.
The Grizzlies didn't lose the same effort tonight as they did the other day, but Margety, their team's leading scorer and 20.6 points per game who ranks among the top small forwards, is out due to injury.
Margeti, the fourth year of his career, was reused by Hubie Brown, and finally took off, averaging 20.6 points, 6 boards, 3 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.7 blocks per game, good offensive performance, defense, can only be said to be not a black hole, anti-breakthrough players, wing cut players do a good job, anti-other types of players are not good, passing this piece, sudden points are okay, there are slightly more mistakes, the assist-to-error ratio is 3 to 3, fortunately, the ball holding rate is not high, 21.1%, and the high turnover rate does not affect the team's offense.
It's just that the brittle point can't be changed, the style of play is too rigid, and it is also broken.
What the media says about it - it's gone after the peak of athleticism.
The technical flow is okay, and the athletic ability can barely survive after the decline, and the physical fitness meteor will collapse especially badly when the physical fitness declines.
However, this is the norm for most physical talents, and the hurdle of 29 and 30 years old is something that most stars can't overcome.
Without Margety, the team's scoring champion, the Grizzlies couldn't block the impact of the aircraft carrier, and Li Ao scored 30 points, 9 boards, 4 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks to easily lead the team to victory.
After playing the Grizzlies, the Clippers had an extra day off in Memphis, where they got two days off before playing a tough game — alternating back-to-back games against the Mavericks at home and home.
This back-to-back brings together the eyes of sports fans from both the Condor.
Will the Clippers' winning streak end at this point, or will it tie or even surpass the longest winning streak in franchise history?
Although the Mavericks were overtaken by the Clippers, they are still in second place in the West, and with the current pattern of the West, they sit in an unshakable position...... Although they finished second in the West last season, they won it by topping the division, and this season they are actually second in the West and third in the league.
The last time the Clippers and Mavericks played each other, they lost, and many people thought the Mavericks could end the Clippers' winning streak.
This back-to-back is also seen as a rehearsal for the Western Conference finals.
After a day of rest, on the morning of the 10th, the Clippers had a morning of training in Memphis before coming to Dallas in the afternoon.
Few basketball and football teams are willing to go to Dallas in advance, which is unfriendly to NBA and NFL teams that are too few white.
But Major League Baseball and hockey teams love Dallas, with more than 6 percent of MLB players being white, and nearly 3 percent being the most popular Hispanic players in Texas; Not to mention ice hockey, there aren't a few blacks in sight across the league.
On the 11th, the long-awaited first match day of the 'Western Conference Finals Preview Back-to-Back' arrived.
At noon, the league announced the results of the first voting of the All-Star starters.
Li Ao looked at Yao Ming's 760,000 votes over Duncan, who had 580,000 votes, and was so sour that he couldn't do it - sure enough, Da Zhugan was the pro-star of domestic fans, and he was born to his stepmother.
He didn't have that many domestic votes in his rookie year.
Duncan is really miserable, originally Duncan went to the center position, he was a starter who couldn't be beaten, and by the way, he could make room for his cousin, and now Duncan tasted the sadness of O'Neal in the original time and space.
However, O'Neill here is also quite sad, O'Neal Jr. beat O'Neal with 690,000 votes over O'Neal with 650,000 votes, ranking first in the center of the West!
The current ticket king is not Li Ao, but his neighbor Kobe!
soared to an average of 30+ per game, and under the extremely difficult situation of the team, he led the team to the third place in the West with the big sharks, and Kobe, who was already popular, beat Jordan with 1.01 million votes with 1.04 million votes, and temporarily occupied the position of the king of votes.
Jordan won his 7th crown, and the hottest topic of this year's All-Star voting - God and God's successor.
Li Ao resisted the title of 'Jordan's successor', and his style of play was far from Kobe, Carter, and Ray Allen, and he didn't even have Iverson like Jordan, so he didn't get into the heat of this topic.
Kobe, who is in the same vein as Jordan in terms of playing style, body shape and personality, has eaten most of the dividends of 'Joe's 7 crowns', more than Carter.
In the East, Iverson, Kidd, Carter, Maddy, and Yao Ming were temporarily starters.
In the West, Kobe, Li Ao, Jordan, Garnett, and O'Neal Jr. are temporarily starters.
In the afternoon, Li Ao saw the news, Kobe Bryant said in an interview that he did not deserve the All-Star vote king, and fans should vote for Michael Jordan.
Li Ao wanted to give the old landlord a middle finger - can't you mention your tenant by the way?
This is in line with Li Ao's impression of Kobe Bryant - in the 2013-2014 season, Kobe Bryant was reimbursed for the season, and he was once the top vote king, he took the initiative to ask fans not to vote for him, and recommended Curry to the fans, wanting the world to know how good Curry is.
At that time, Curry had not been selected as an All-Star, nor was he selected for the best team, and the most valuable award he won was the Western Conference Monthly Champion in April of the 12-13 season, the Monthly Champion in April, and the 5-3 Monthly Championship in a single month, which was the most neglected monthly best.
With Kobe's recommendation, Curry himself played hard, from the original ranking behind Paul and Jeremy Lin, with the same number of votes as Harden, all the way to the first vote in the Western Conference guard, and was selected as an All-Star for the first time in his career.
Little O'Neill saw him overpowering O'Neal, and Ling Ran was not afraid.
The big deal is that he will be hammered in the next encounter, and he will be sure of this All-Star starting position!
Rise! Step up your game...... Help the team continue its winning streak.
Personal performance or something, put aside for the time being, he knows that only one-third of his votes are estimated to be won by personal performance, one-third by Li Ao, and one-third by record.
It is difficult to continue to improve the number of votes for individual performance, and the help brought by Li Ao cannot be higher, but the team's record has to fight!
…
At 8 p.m., at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, the Clippers and Mavericks played back-to-back firsts.
The Clippers led the Mavericks by 3 points 24-21 in the first quarter!
Nelson Sr. saw that the Clippers had been fighting hard lately and wanted to drag down the Clippers with defense, but this strategy failed.
In the second quarter, the Mavericks began to score and managed to soar to a 28-25 score in the first quarter.
At halftime, the two teams fought to a 49-49 draw!
Li Ao scored 11 points on 5-of-10 shooting in the half, plus 1-of-1 free throws; Odom scored 10 points on 4-of-6 shooting, plus 2-of-2 free throws, and the two played extremely well.
On the Mavericks' side, Nash only had 1 assist in the half, but in the second quarter, he scored 12 points in a single quarter, shot 8 of 11 in the half, including 2 of 2 three-pointers, and scored 18 points in the half with no free throws!
Nash's alternative style of play frustrated the Clippers' defensive strategy in the second quarter and helped the Mavericks tie the score.
However, the Mavericks only tied the score, and the Clippers still controlled the initiative!
In the third quarter, after a lapse of many games, the Clippers once again presented the strongest combination of Bibby, Li Ao, Jordan, Matt Hardlin, and O'Neal Jr., showing their offensive and defensive dominance, playing a single quarter score of 25-18, and taking a 7-point lead after the third quarter!
Despite the Mavericks' strong comeback in the final quarter, they played a 24-18 score in the first 11 and a half minutes, still trailing the Clippers by one point.
At the last moment, Li Ao ran to contain it, Jordan singled the ball, and Odom responded...... Bibby is empty, catches the ball and hits a three-point shot!
95-91, the Clippers took a 4-point lead and sealed the win!
Nowitzki missed a three-pointer with 11 seconds left, and the Mavericks lost hope of a comeback.
Nash's 35 points and 4 assists and Nowitzki's 31 points and 11 rebounds became the background.
Li Ao 24 points, 8 boards, 6 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, Odom 23 points, 6 boards and 2 assists, Bibby 21 points and 4 assists, Jordan 10 points, 5 boards and 2 assists, O'Neal Jr. 8 points, 16 boards and 3 blocks...... The Clippers defeated the Mavericks by 4 points, tying the longest winning streak in team history!
The next day, Jan. 12, the Clippers had Game 2 of a back-to-back with the Mavericks at Staples Center.
Both teams are tired and tired, but both teams want to win and have a psychological advantage when they meet in the playoffs.
As a result, the two teams played a defense that even the fans at the scene could see their scalps tingling - in the first quarter, the Clippers led the Mavericks by two points 14-12.
Fans thought it was already the worst scoring quarter, but they were slapped in the face by their own team.
In the second quarter, the Clippers scored only 9 points, and the Mavericks played a single quarter score of 9-11.
At halftime, the score of the two teams was 23-23!
At this time, the fans who turned on the TV thought that their eyes were spent, this is the half-time score? To say that this is a single quarter score is considered low!
Recall that last season, the Clippers played the Mavericks, and every game was a game with explosive ratings, and the total scores of the two teams were less than 210 points, both of which were considered to be failing, and it was the norm to cut 220+ together.
Looking at the line-up of the two teams, there is no change from last season, it is still the same group, but the score is ...... Good guys, it's even uglier than the Magic playing the Trail Blazers!
By the third quarter, the situation had changed dramatically!
Gentry saw that everyone couldn't score, Li Ao scored 6 points on 3-of-11 shooting in the half, and Jordan scored 2 points on 0-of-5 shooting with free throws...... He got bold, and in the third quarter, he sent a lineup of Bibby, Big Q, Gerald Wallace, Li Ao, and O'Neal Jr. to start rejuvenating!
Big Q turned on the shrimp playback mode, shooting 2 of 5 in a single quarter, including 2 of 3 three-pointers, plus 5 of 6 free throws, and soared 11 points, 1 board and 1 assist.
Add Li Ao's 3 points, Bibby's 3 points, Gerard Wallace's 2 points, O'Neal Jr.'s 2 points, and Yaric's 2 points off the bench, and 23 points in a single quarter! The first half of the game is the whole game!
Crazy as old Nelson, he didn't expect the other side to be so wild, he slower a beat, and the Mavericks only scored 16 points in a single quarter.
At the end of the third quarter, the Clippers led the Mavericks by 7 points at 46-39!
The Mavericks scored 26 points in the first quarter, the highest score in a single quarter, but the Clippers stabilized their performance in the third quarter and scored 23 points.

Li Ao got 13 points, 10 boards, 1 assist, 1 steal and 6 blocks, and O'Neal Jr. with 6 points and 16 boards, Campbell with 2 points and 8 boards, and Jordan with 5 points, 6 boards, 1 assist and 3 steals...... Stand up for the defense and have the last laugh!
The Clippers defeated the Mavericks 69-65 to win two games in a back-to-back!
…
15 consecutive wins, the Clippers have the longest winning streak in team history!
After the final whistle sounded, Li Ao, who had played the whole game again, hung on Jordan and was about to get tired.
Jordan was almost overturned, he really wanted to push this thing away, he also played 30 minutes tonight, helping to defend, grabbing boards, breaking the ball, and he was also very tired.
But for the sake of face, he had to hold on.
For him now, nothing is more important than face.
Seeing that Jordan began to tremble, Li Ao let go of the other party and moved back to the locker room to eat a hamburger, the junior brother had already gone to buy a hamburger just now.
The mission 'Western Final Rehearsal' triggered yesterday evening was completed, winning 1 game, getting 1 basic attribute point, winning both games, and getting the 'Lying Back' level 4 designated upgrade card.
After returning to the locker room and using the 'body physiotherapy function' and nibbling on the hamburger, Li Ao, who came back to life, upgraded the 'lying back' to level 4.
"Lying back level 4: 1. When the angle of the backward jumper is greater than or equal to 45 degrees, there is a 25% probability of making up for the lack of balance caused by the backward jumper, 2. Temporarily reclining during the shooting process, when the reclining angle is greater than or equal to 45 degrees, the core strength is improved, 3. When the opponent facing the backward jumper is taller than the host, the bounce is +3."
Added an effect bounce...... Li Ao felt a bit embarrassed, if he was Nash's height, this bonus was good, but his height and arm span were so outstanding...... But it's better than not, and maybe it will work at some point.
There are two basic attribute points now, he looked at the warehouse, and there are 1 basic attribute points for bounce, physical strength, strength, and flexibility, choose 1 out of 4...... After struggling for a while, he chose physical strength!
If there is a choice of speed, he chooses speed, if not, the improvement of physical strength will bring a stronger effect at the moment.
Look at Snake next door, 99 physical strength, whatever you want.
And he, Spider-Man, will be wasted in three quarters of offense and defense with all his strength, and he must always pay attention to the distribution of physical strength in order to barely play the whole game.
"The host consumes 2 basic attribute points, 1 basic physical strength attribute point, and 1 advanced physical attribute point synthesized, which has been used...... Congratulations to the host for increasing their stamina from 93 to 94. ”
The quest 'Western Final Preview' was completed, and a new quest 'Cattle Butcher' was triggered.
"Cattle Slayer:
Goal 1: Gain a win-loss advantage against the Mavericks in the regular season.
Goal 2: If you meet the Mavericks in the playoffs, you will eliminate the opponent and advance to the next round, and if you don't, you will need to play more rounds than the Mavericks.
Reward: Designated Skill 'Lying Back' Level 5 Skill Upgrade Card. ”
Although the new bounce bonus is better than nothing, the first two effects are still very good for Li Ao, and this task has to be completed hard.
He is glad that there is a big Q outbreak tonight, if the goal 2 of the 'Western Final Rehearsal' is not completed, it is estimated that there will be no later task, and the next time the same task is triggered, the difficulty will inevitably be higher.
Li Ao was very happy, winning + the task was completed, the whole team of the Clippers was very happy, and they narrowly won both games, refreshing the longest winning streak in team history.
And the outside world has already fried the pot.
The Clippers are doing it again!
With a total score of 134 points in a single game, the Clippers once again refreshed the lower limit of low scores in the modern basketball era!
