312.Party Time!
At 8 p.m., the game began.
His feet were slightly off the ground, his waist was straight in the air, and his short arms were stretched out...... Yao Ming's jump ball has earned the trust of his teammates.
Yao Ming landed quickly, turned around and struggled to retreat, and as soon as he entered the basket, he heard the screams of the fans.
Yao Ming just stopped, his feet were not yet steady, and the impact from behind him made him run two more steps out of the bottom line before he stopped, and there was a sound of smashing the frame above his head......
Yao Ming turned his head to look, and Li Ao fell from the sky.
What's the situation?
Why was it detained at the beginning of the game?
Yao Ming was detained, and Kurt Thomas wanted to dig a hole in the ground.
The fans in front of the TV can see it clearly, and the fans in front of the TV can still watch the replay.
After O'Neal Jr. won the jump ball, Li Ao bypassed Anfernee Hardaway and went down, and Kurt Thomas moved up to block the defense and was directly knocked away by Li Ao!
Li Ao's weight of 105 kilograms has been increased to 95 speed, 93 strength, and 94 explosiveness by 'punching the nursing home level 3'...... Kurt Thomas, who is 206 cm + 104 kg, didn't even do it to delay, Li Ao drove straight in, caught the ball and jumped, knocked Yao Ming out of the bottom line and smashed the ball into the basket with both hands.
When Li Ao ran back to the backcourt, his teammates excitedly greeted him to celebrate.
Here it comes!
The annual Spider-Man who makes Madison Square Garden his backyard is here again!
Yao Ming picked up the ball, took a deep breath, and sent it to Howard Easley.
The Knicks attacked, Alan Houston ran with Gerard Wallace and seized the opportunity to quickly catch the ball around the pile and hit a shot.
The ball stabilized the mentality of the Knicks players.
They have the king of the pitch!
Alan Houston has become the absolute star of the Knicks this season, averaging a career-high 22.5 points per game, shooting 38.1% from the arc, 48% from close range, 49% from the field, 46.4% from the long two, 39% from three-point range, and 45.1% from the field......
and Kobe, Nowitzki, Kassel, Li Ao and other 4 people are tied for the top five mid-range shooting masters.
Just outside the three-second zone and inside the three-point line, Alan Houston is the strongest of the five.
So far this season, there is only one team in the East that has a win-loss advantage against the Magic, and that team is the Knicks led by Alan Houston.
However, looking back, Li Ao received the ball and turned around to face Kurt Thomas's defense and hit a two-point shot!
The second attack of 'perfect warm-up' feels hot!
This goal is much more domineering than Alan Houston.
Alan Houston's mid-range shot just now relied on his ability to run, grasp the timing, speed around the pile, and shooting speed.
Li Ao's ball is Yan Ye body inch Kurt Thomas!
When it came to the Knicks' offense, Alan Houston was not to be outdone, and hit another running catch.
After the goal, Alan Houston raised his chin and looked at Li Ao.
Now he is different from before!
This season, he and Kurt Thomas led the team to rise from the quagmire after losing Ewing and Larry Johnson, his personal performance reached the best of his career, and his confidence was never stronger, and the media commented that he has changed from a pitcher who was taken by Madman, Ewing, Big Mom and others to play in the Finals, to a real leader.
He also felt the same way, although he was already 31 years old, he only ushered in success at the age of 34...... Why is it not considered a success, 4 consecutive finals, 1 championship and 3 runners-up can be regarded as two consecutive championships, and the two consecutive runners-up have to be regarded as 1 championship, is there still anyone who doesn't understand such a simple truth?
But it didn't take long for Alan Houston to be proud, when the Clippers attacked, Li Ao ran to catch the ball, turned around and shook a shot, Alan Houston, who was making up for the defense, jumped up directly, Li Ao collected the ball and rushed to close range, squeezed Kurt Thomas out of a step, and grabbed the hook shot before Yao Ming moved into place!
'Punch Nursing Home Level 3' has a 15% chance of feeling hot state triggered!
This ball, even if it feels hot and is not triggered, Li Ao is confident that he can score it.
Got the fixed bonus of speed +2 and strength +2 in the 'bullying mode', as well as the bonus of +2 for all-round shooting on the offensive end, plus the breakthrough speed of 'three-step world', Li Ao played too comfortably in the face of the Knicks' 1-4 positions that were either slow or thin.
Alan Houston is not convinced!
When it came to the Knicks' offense, Alan Houston ran to the left baseline to catch the ball and continue to shoot!
This time the Clippers players did a good job of influencing Alan Houston's running line, Alan Houston entered Li Ao's defense area, and Li Ao interfered in place!
Alan Houston didn't stop, leaning back to throw the ball against Li Ao.
Although Li Ao didn't get the hat, he played a huge role in Alan Houston's shooting, and this ball was iron!
But!
Yao Ming violently squeezed away little O'Neal and pressed the bouncing ball into the frame with both hands!
Little O'Neill looked at Li Ao with resentment - your little giant bullies people!
226 cm, 132 kg tonnage, solid bottom plate ...... Although it is more than ten kilograms lighter than O'Neill, it makes no difference in O'Neill's opinion, and he will be bullied if he doesn't get stuck in his position in advance.
Li Ao ran back and picked up the ball and threw it to O'Neal Jr., saying, "You are in charge of the card position, and Matt and I will grab the board......"
Let me do the dirty work and grab the data? I...... What else can I do?
O'Neill Jr. reluctantly accepted the offer, exited the baseline and sent the ball to Bibby.
Switching offense and defense, Li Ao saw that the opponent was ready to run on the wing and attack in advance and interfere at close range, so he came directly to the right side of the free throw line and leaned on Anfernee Hardaway.
Kurt Thomas is angry, his defensive adjustment is done in vain!
Li Ao received a pass from Bibby, leaned on a penny, and his defensive position and strength were very good.
In the treatment of the miracle doctor Carter, Penny is not only the body, but also the style of play, the offense and defense are no longer as dependent or destroying their knees and ankles as before, and they are more using static physical conditions and awareness to play, and many skills have been given up in order to play 80 times last season, and the two games that were missed are not injured, but the schedule is too tight, and I did not play on the advice of the team doctor.
This season, Penny continued last season's style of play, playing in 59 of the first 60 games, averaging 10.9 points, 3.9 rebounds, 4 assists and 1.1 steals per game, shooting 44.7% from the field, his best performance since entering the 21st century.
After Li Ao tested the penny defense, he took a step and turned around.
The penny predicted that Li Ao would not turn around and break through, so he pressed it in advance...... Didn't stick!
Li Ao turned around and took a step, jumped, and threw a shot...... Again!
At this scene, Penny smiled - my! My trick!
When Li Ao turned around and retreated, he saw the smile of the penny ......?
Li Ao naturally didn't understand how happy it was for a penny to see a young genius practice his technique so well.
Penny isn't a basketball god, not even a black mamba, he thinks he's a failed genius.
The Magic team has a fan of him, and he's also a super talent, a superstar.
But the high school student's style of play is not much similar to him, it can also be said that it has nothing to do with it, from skills to style of play is completely different.
Spider-Man doesn't have much in common with him, but with this move, Spider-Man has learned the essence of him!
As for not guarding against Li Ao, Penny didn't take it to heart, he didn't think he could prevent it, he just tried his best to use his experience to cause some interference, and the most successful thing was to bring Li Ao to his teammates' pinching circle, Li Ao had practiced his outside singles killing moves to such a level, and he couldn't prevent it normally.
When it came to the Knicks' offense, this time Alan Houston didn't run out of the receiving position, Gerald Wallace and Matt Harprin consciously prevented him from running to the line, going down the line, the weak side couldn't catch the ball, and the strong side Li Ao was clubbing.
This time it was Kurt Thomas who received the ball, and Gerard Wallace made a substitution, and Kurt Thomas grabbed the shot to avoid Gerard Wallace's confrontation...... Iron!
O'Neal Jr. jammed Yao Ming, and Li Ao collected the defensive rebound.
The offense and defense switched, and Li Ao was stuck by a penny after arriving in the front court.
Li Ao saw that Penny didn't care about the defensive action of being thrown away by the reverse run, and glanced at the positions of the rest of the opponent...... Good guys, the Knicks' early pinch is arranged!
He's starting to miss his rookie season, which wasn't allowed to shoot early, and how easy it was for him to run and catch the ball and shoot!
But will that stop him from scoring?
No way!
He began to run wildly.
Bibby originally wanted to use the containment played by his junior brother to block and dismantle with O'Neal Jr. to make the team attack...... was messed up by Li Ao's running.
Forget it, let the junior brother have a good time, the junior brother hasn't soared too much this year, and he must be suffocated.
Bibby called O'Neal Jr. out to block and dismantle, but not for the team to attack, but to go down the line to empty the junior brother.
If you change your opponent, Bibby will not be so accustomed to Li Ao, but the opponent is the Knicks, and the junior brother is at home, so he went with him.
Li Ao ran back on the flank, shook off Penny and Alan Houston, who moved ahead of time, and delivered the ball accurately when he entered the basket.
Li Ao took two steps to the other side of the three-second zone after receiving the ball, jumped and threw it.
Yao Ming moved into place in time and reached out to interfere...... Usually Yao Ming doesn't think how short his hands are, he is so tall, the arm span is shorter, and the height is still one of the best in the league.
But watching the ball fly two centimeters in front of his fingertips, he was not good......
The ball bounces off the rebound and into the frame.
The Knicks call a timeout!
Li Ao beat the Knicks 10-6 and stopped the opponent!
The fans cheered wildly.
Spike Lee rushed to the bottom line and shouted at the camera of the reporter who entered the pause to enter the filming, "Spider-Man belongs to New York!" Look! He's better here than in any arena! ”
The reporter was speechless - which of the stars did you say didn't break out here?
Suddenly, the cheers of the fans at the scene became more violent, and the reporter hurriedly looked around, saw Li Ao going to the technical station, and immediately threw Spike Lee away and found a suitable angle to shoot.
The technical desk officer looked at the empty hand, what about my microphone?
Li Ao held the microphone in his right hand, his left arm was open, and a high school student with a combat power index of 9,000 appeared in his mind......
He shouted, "Party Time! ”
The already manic atmosphere at the scene was immediately detonated, and all the fans chanted "Party Time!" ”
Yao Ming looked at his seniors, his mouth wide open.
It's not that he hasn't encountered the defection of his home fans, more than a dozen times in half a season.
OK Combo, TT Combo, Kidd, Carter, Ben Wallace...... These people come here to play, and the fans will turn against each other.
But it's the first time like tonight!
When Jordan greeted the fans before the game, the fans were not so excited.
The reaction of the fans made Yao Ming confused, and the performance of his predecessors also made him feel incredible.
He played against Li Ao once at Christmas, and he also played once in the All-Star Game, and in those two games, although Li Ao was also strong, he was the strongest in the team, and the combination of the Clippers' system, Li Ao's ability to seize opportunities, and Li Ao's personal ability had a superstar performance.
Tonight, Li Ao started completely by his personal ability, and he pressed their whole team to play alone!
Is this arena so magical? He's played more than 30 games here, so doesn't he feel like there's anything special about this arena?
If anything, he feels very aggrieved whenever a superstar comes here......
…
At the end of the timeout, neither team made any substitutions and continued to play against the starting lineup.
The Knicks team is because they started the game with no problems at all, the defense was executed in place, the offensive coordination played well, and the opening 4 offenses scored 6 points, and the performance was quite good, Wilkens called a timeout just to interrupt Li Ao's hand, and he didn't even adjust his playing style.
The Clippers naturally don't need to make substitutions when they are in the lead, but Gentry has made adjustments to his style of play - as Bibby thought, his own love for his apprentice, and if he wants to wave occasionally, he must get used to it.
The development after the restart of the game is completely different from Wilkens' idea that Li Ao will use his own containment to help the Clippers launch a team offense after scoring 10 points in a row at the beginning.
Wilkens likes to watch Li Ao's games, and he has watched them all this season as long as the time does not conflict.
Calm handling of the ball, selfless style of play, team-first basketball philosophy...... Li Ao's game is like a work of art in Wilkens's eyes.
Tonight's Spider-Man only has a basket in his eyes!
In the first quarter, Li Ao made 10 of 13 shots, including 1 of 1 three-pointers, plus 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 23 points!
Wilkens's prediction helped Li Ao soar again before the official timeout, and at the end of the first quarter, Li Ao encountered a tighter defense, but he still did not change his style of play, continued to attack, and beat the original 9 of 10 to 13 10 shots.
The shooting percentage rarely declined, but it did not prevent Li Ao's performance in this quarter from shocking the Knicks players.
Li Ao's style of play is not complicated, and it can't even be said to be changeable, just a few moves, but it just can't be prevented!
The better the physical fitness of the same technique, the easier it is to use it.
Usually, Li Ao also has the opportunity to use those techniques more simply, but only occasionally when there are conditional trigger skills, he can use them.
Tonight, Li Ao turned on the 'bullying mode' throughout the whole process, his speed has risen to surpass the top level, his strength is stronger, the technique is easier to use, and when he turns on this mode, the probability of triggering other skills is also higher...... Buffs are stacked!
The Knicks players also played very hard, and the rest of the Clippers players focused most of their energy on defense in the first quarter, and the Knicks still scored 29 points in a single quarter, trailing the Clippers by 7 points at 29-36, and did not let the point difference be completely widened.
In the second quarter, the Knicks were wondering if Spider-Man's outburst should be over, right? It shouldn't be like that again, right? Just now, at the end of the quarter, they all hit 1 of 3 shots.
But Azu was unwilling to give up, completely not giving the Knicks a chance to breathe, and continued to attack regardless of it.
The Knicks, for their part, were trying to hold the game up with offense like they did in the first quarter.
Li Ao continued to play like this, and the damage to the team offense of the entire Clippers team was quite large.
The Knicks players chose to stay up, as long as they stayed up until Li Ao's hand declined, their chance would come.
But God didn't fulfill people's wishes, Li Ao's performance did decline in the second quarter, more shots than in the first quarter, 15 times, scored less than in the first quarter, and only scored 8 goals, including 1 of 2 three-pointers, and only one free throw was made by Kurt Thomas, who scored 18 points in a single quarter, but the Knicks' score decline in the second quarter was even more serious!
In the first half of the second quarter, the Knicks' hand plummeted, only scoring 10 points in the first half of the quarter, while Li Ao scored 10 points alone in the first half of the quarter......
Li Ao beat the Knicks 18-17 in a single quarter, and the Clippers led the Knicks by 6 points 23-17 in a single quarter!
It can only be said that the Knicks and the Clippers still have too little experience against each other.
The Knicks are looking forward to Li Ao's downward spiral and then be able to take advantage of the Clippers' offense to turn the tables around.
The actual situation is that in the third quarter, after the Clippers sent the strongest combination of Bibby, Li Ao, Jordan, Matt Harprin, and O'Neal Jr., the team's offense was still invincible!
The Clippers have 3 main lineups this season, but whether it is a defensive starter or a triangle offense with Yaric joining, it is not mature, and the starting player is Gerald Wallace, a young talent who is considered a rookie, is the weakest of the 3 main lineups; The triangle offense has become more complete with more Yaric, but Jordan doesn't play much time per game and can't be perfected, and due to Jordan's age, Gentry pays the least attention to this lineup, not as much as the starting lineup.
Compared with those two sets of lineups, the strongest combination of the Clippers in the third quarter has a mature style of play, the coaching staff attaches great importance to it, and the teammates cooperate tacitly, and they have gathered the strongest five players on the team except for the sometimes ineffective Odom!
No matter how chaotic the fight is in front, these five people will be able to enter a state of tacit cooperation immediately.
They're the champions!
Facing the five-man group of the Clippers, the defensive barrier built by the Knicks in the second quarter was destroyed in an instant!
Not only that, but the Clippers' defense is far better than the front, better and stronger than that dynamic, competitive starting lineup!
It looks like only Jordan replaced Gerard Wallace...... In fact, this is exactly what it is.
But because of the addition of Jordan, the Clippers have a stronger wing defense player, and at the same time liberated Li Ao, the Clippers have a pitcher nemesis on the outside, coincidentally, the Knicks' scoring champion, who is the top five pitchers in the league, hit Li Ao's gun.
On the offensive end of the Clippers, Bibby, Jordan, and O'Neal Jr.'s goals in this quarter are all to pass the ball to Li Ao.
It's 41 points in the half, and even Jordan wants to see Li Ao do something.
In the first half of the third quarter, the Knicks were stunned by the Clippers' sudden improvement in offensive and defensive strength, and were scored 11 points by Li Ao in the first quarter, and the Clippers expanded the 11-point gap by 19-8 in the first quarter.
After the official timeout, the Knicks can't take care of the game anymore, and it's not that they haven't lost to the Clippers, what a big deal.
Spider-Man is the big deal! The third quarter is not over yet, and Spider-Man has already scored 52 points!
Finally, the Knicks began to ignore the score and the outcome of the victory, and began to attack Li Ao infinitely.
But it came too late......
In the first half of the quarter, he had several open shots after Jordan and Bibby played threats, and the 'Empty Killer Level 3' selected in the offseason played a role in finding the shooting touch and rhythm.
Coupled with the 'bullying mode', Li Ao faced the Knicks in the 5 minutes after the official timeout, shooting 3 of 7, including 1 of 2 three-pointers, plus 2 of 2 free throws to score 9 points!
And in these 5 minutes, the Knicks, who only cared about attacking Li Ao, only scored 6 points......
At 11 minutes and 55 seconds, a "bang" sounded, and Alan Houston's baseline met Jordan's mid-range shot.
There is Li Ao on the outside, O'Neal Jr. under the basket, Alan Houston is the only one who can shoot here, but here is Jordan, who has a strong ability to make up for defense and interference, and he can't shoot!
But there are only 5 seconds left......
Alan Houston didn't want to admit it, and even felt ashamed, he consumed as much time as possible in this round, didn't run to this position early, he didn't run here at the best time, he gave up the best opportunity, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to shoot, and he was even more afraid that the shot would give the guy more time to attack too early.
Spider-Man can't score any more!
However, Odom, who replaced Matt Halprin on the court, accurately sent the ball to Li Ao who was about to go after grabbing a defensive rebound on Yao Ming's head!
Kurt Thomas and Witherspoon, who came off the bench, rushed back, Kurt Thomas prevented Li Ao from receiving the ball and shooting directly, when Li Ao entered the basket, Witherspoon struggled to stick to Li Ao, but still couldn't prevent Li Ao from throwing the ball before the whistle blew at the end of the quarter......
"Smack"
The moment the ball left Li Ao's hand, Witherspoon slapped him on the wrist.
However, Witherspoon had no need to be annoyed, and with the referee's whistle, the ball spun and flew out of the basket and fell into the frame.
Li Ao's fast-break layup is effective, and he has to add free throws!
Fans at the scene frantically shouted "Spider-Man", while others chanted "Party Time".
Even the director of the scene turned against him at this time, and Li Ao's data was posted on the big screen.
26 of 42 shots, including 3 of 6 three-pointers, plus 8 of 8 free throws, Li Ao blasted 63 points, 6 boards, 3 steals and 2 blocks! And there's one more penalty!
The Knicks as a team scored 62 points on 24-of-60 shooting, including 4-of-10 three-pointers, and 10-of-14 free throws......
Li Ao walked to the free throw line, added a free throw and hit it steadily, then opened his arms and raised his head to listen to the crazy shouts of the ball on the spot.
In the last 0.9 seconds, the Knicks sent the ball out, and the whistle at the end of the quarter had already sounded, and Alan Houston, who received the ball, did not make a quick shot.
64-62, after the third quarter, Li Ao led the Knicks by two points!
