From sparring to superstar

第282章 280要拿下最后2个强敌才能第1?那就拿下他们!(12万字)

Chapter 282 280. Do you have to defeat the last two powerful enemies to be first?Then take them down! (1.2 words)

The Clippers suffered two consecutive losses and made headlines when the crazy three were in charge.

The next morning, Li Ao felt inexplicably proud when he saw the newspaper. This made headlines, which proved that they played really well this season. They were the team with the fewest consecutive defeats this season. Counting this, times, a total of two consecutive defeats.

Other teams, the Magic, which has the fewest losing streak, also lost four times in a row, one of which was a three-game losing streak.

But after the success, frustration came. Within 10 days, he lost against the Lakers and Kings.

The Lakers and Kings entering playoff mode are really amazing!
It is true that Peja's explosion was the main reason for losing to the Kings last night, but the Kings showed terrible stability after taking a 7-point lead. This team will basically not give their opponents a comeback as long as they have a clear lead. Chance.

Li Ao simulated the Lakers and Kings together. If the Kings lead by seven or eight points or ten points at the beginning... the OK combination may not be able to come back.

With that kind of lead, the Kings will never give the Lakers a chance to drag the game into a crucial matchup.

Without Bibby, the Kings' key ball ability has not improved, but their ability to play a defensive advantage has become stronger.

Basketball is not static, and there are disadvantages that cannot be solved. The Kings have maximized their advantages.

But the sooner the setback comes, the better, so they can prepare for the playoffs earlier.

Li Ao returned to Los Angeles with the team at noon. During the afternoon break, he did not watch the video of tomorrow's opponent, but studied the video of the Lakers and Kings.

After a day's rest, on March 3, the Clippers faced the Suns at home.

Li Ao was very serious and focused during the morning preparation training.

Yesterday, he didn't care about today's opponent. It's not that he doesn't pay attention to this game, but it's April soon. It's time to focus on the opponents he may encounter in the playoffs. If he can't encounter them, he won't waste his personal preparation time. , the team has enough time to prepare for the game.

With the experience of last season, by now, he has divided his priorities very easily.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the Clippers' home game against the Suns begins.

Jordan is resting and O'Neal Jr. is out with calf cramps. Gentry has the same attitude towards this game as Li Ao, giving priority to the playoffs.

The Clippers were defensive in the first quarter and outscored the Suns 17-19. The defense was even worse in the second quarter, with both teams scoring only 15 points.

In the third quarter, the two-horse combination began to explode. The two teamed up to lead the team to score 23 points in a single quarter. However, Li Ao, Bibby, and Big Q were full of firepower in this quarter with the support of Odom. The Clippers scored 26 points in a single quarter. To [-] minutes!
After three quarters, the Clippers led the Suns by 58 point, 57-1.

Both teams faltered in the final quarter, and the Suns only scored 20 points.

The Clippers took a step further. Li Ao used the cover to shoot 4 of 2 shots under Marion's pursuit, including 2 of 1 three-pointers. In addition, a counterattack resulted in a foul and two free throws, scoring 7 points in a single quarter.

毕比拿到5分、奥多姆6分2助攻、马特-哈普林4分、大Q和史蒂夫-科尔各进了一个三分球,快船队单节狂轰28分!
靠着李敖的23分10板4助攻2抢断5盖帽、毕比的15分6助攻、奥多姆14分14板6助攻,快船队以86比77力克太阳队,结束连败!

For the Suns, newcomer Joe Johnson scored 17 points tonight and performed well. Marion also scored a game-high 26 points and 13 rebounds.

But Marbury was targeted on defense tonight. He made only 11 of 3 shots and only scored 10 points and 6 assists. Only the 5 points and 3 assists in the third quarter were considered good. The other three quarters were locked up.

Marion scored high, with 6 offensive rebounds, and 8 points were scored in the second attack. O'Neal was not around, and the Clippers dropped a lot in terms of protection.

Ending March with a victory, Li Ao was in a good mood. After returning to the locker room after the game, another piece of good news came: the team signed the 3th player at the buzzer!
This is the signing candidate... He thought it was a good choice, but after listening to Gentry's introduction to the signing, all he heard was 'Beat LA'.

...

2002年3月31号晚上9点,快船队赶在季后赛大名单提交截止日前,签下了39岁的老将凯文-威利斯。

As soon as this signing was announced, the fans in the next door neighbor jumped up - what do you mean, Kaizi?
After the All-Star break, the Celtics made two trades. One was to use potential rookie Joe Johnson to replace two substitutes from the Suns.

The other was to trade 99 undrafted Milt Peracio from the Rockets for veteran Kevin Willis.

Kevin Willis played 12 games with the Celtics, averaging 3.5 points and 3 rebounds per game. His performance was not great. His style of play was not suitable for the Celtics twin stars, and he was considered a relatively failed player. As a new player, Peracio averaged 5.8 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists before the All-Star weekend. He was only 23 years old.

But when he was with the Rockets, Kevin Willis played 50 games, averaging 16 minutes per game, scoring 6.1 points and 6 rebounds. He was a very good substitute veteran.

The Rockets exchanged this veteran for Peracio purely to save money. Kevin Willis's annual salary is 300 million U.S. dollars. After one year of breaking the contract, Peracio only has 69 U.S. dollars, and next season he will only have 76 million U.S. dollars. 24 US dollars, and he is only [-] years old.

As the playoff roster submission deadline approached, the Celtics completed the buyout of Kevin Willis, and the Clippers signed him to assume the last 300 games of Kevin Willis' $10 million contract. salary...

Regarding the Clippers' signing, most basketball fans firmly believe that there is nothing fishy, ​​except for Lakers fans.

Lakers fans flocked to the Celtics official website and fan forum, and the servers of the two websites went down directly.

An anonymous Clippers fan posted on the Lakers fan forum: "We just signed a substitute. Why are you so angry? Didn't the Kings say nothing?"

Kings fans echoed: "Yes, looking at how stingy you are, isn't the Clippers signing an extra backup center just to stabilize the league's No. [-] spot? This does not violate the regulations. I support the Clippers' reasonable signings." "

Lakers fans cursed each other when they saw the fans of the two teams singing along.

"You don't care, Willis can't expand to defend Divac and Webber!"

Li Ao saw the Lakers fans breaking the defense. He didn't know why, but he was in such a good mood.

At this moment, the Clippers seemed to be supported by the whole world...except Lakers fans.

Kings fans support the Clippers in bringing in a tall center. In addition to Lakers fans saying that Kevin Willis is useless against the Kings, there is another reason.

The second place in the Western Conference is occupied by the first place in the Central Division. If the Kings finally rush to the first place in the Western Conference and directly face the Lakers, the Clippers' signings have nothing to do with them, but if the Kings end up third, the Clippers will bring in another big player. The center has a higher chance of winning against the Lakers, who are fourth or fifth in the Western Conference.

The enemy of my enemy is still a friend for a while.

Then came the next day, July 4st, the new month.

Li Ao practiced all morning and browsed major websites after lunch. The fact that the Celtics gave them a center was still the hottest topic at the moment. It even took away the popularity of the semi-finals. Quite a few.

He really didn't expect that their introduction of a substitute, or a backup center who had no chance to play under normal circumstances, could actually cause such a big sensation, even overshadowing the announcement of the best of the month award.

Before lunch time, the NBA officially announced the best of the month awards for March.

Richard Jefferson of the Nets and Pau Gasol of the Grizzlies won the Rookie of the Month award.

The general is still not good enough. Gasol won the 4th Rookie of the Month and locked up the Rookie of the Year.

Coach of the Month went to Carlisle and Sloan.

Player of the Month, Eastern Conference, Ben Wallace interrupted Duncan's consecutive Best of the Month. The Pistons played as many as 3 games in March. Ben Wallace averaged 18 points, 10 rebounds and 15 blocks per game, leading the team to 3.5 wins. With a record of 11 losses, they maintained the third position in the Eastern Conference despite a difficult schedule.

In the West, O'Neal played 15 games last month, with 14 wins and 1 loss, averaging 31.8 points, 12.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.6 blocks per game, with a 61.3% shooting percentage and a 62% free throw shooting rate, winning the best of the month.

When Li Ao saw Ben Wallace averaging 15 rebounds and 3.5 blocks per game, he thought it was awesome, but when he saw O'Neal's performance... it was a bit inappropriate to put them side by side.

The Lakers played a total of 3 games in March. In the first game, all the OK combinations were absent and they lost miserably. However, in the next 16 games, the OK combinations gathered together and posted a record of 1 wins and 15 losses in a single month. The current record is 14 wins and 2 losses. It’s amazing. It has gone from a record of 52 wins, which is enough, to a record of 20 wins.

Turning off the computer, Li Ao turned on the system without recalling the terrifying experience of fighting the shark last week.

This morning he received a new assignment.

"Set sail again, Angel City Battleship:

Goal: get first place in the division.

Reward: Number of wins multiplied by 1000 achievement points.

Advanced goal: win the regular season championship.

Advanced reward: 1 purple level equipment upgrade card. "

Currently they have 57 wins and 15 losses. If they finish first in the Pacific Division, they will already have 5.7 achievement points guaranteed.

However, to win the Pacific Division, you must finish first in the league. The Pacific Division has been so wild in recent years.

You must work hard to hold on to the first place in the division. If you get the first place in the division in the playoffs, you can unlock the 'Pride of Champions' buff.

Thinking of the future, there will only be 5 teams in a division, and the strong teams will be separated... Boss Joe, it's time to build the Bobcats team!
Li Ao just thought about it. Compared with having the most morale-based skills in the competition area, it would be better to have multiple Jordans as teammates.

Thinking better, if you accomplish one goal, both goals will be accomplished.

...

After a day of rest, on April 4, the Clippers played the Spurs at home.

Li Ao met his new teammate Kevin Willis in the morning.

The feeling given to him by his new teammates is that of a man at the forefront of fashion.

He looks a bit casual, but he is dressed very coquettishly, wearing white trousers and a floral top, looking like a giant version of Turtle.

Jordan introduced his fellow center to Li Ao: "Kevin has his clothing brand. Many athletes wear the clothes he designs. His company is valued at hundreds of millions. He is the most successful businessman among athletes."

"Haha, Michael, how can I compare to you? That's just a valuation. Do you really get that much money every year..."

When Jordan mentioned this, Kevin Willis was very happy, and the two 39-year-old men started chatting about the past.

Li Ao opened the system and the team section has been updated.

"Kevin Willis, 39 years old, 213 cm, 111 kg, overall evaluation 66..."

A veteran in his 18th year of career is pretty good at this level.

Li Ao looked at his other center teammates.

O'Neal Jr. is an all-around defensive inside man, good at confrontation and shot interference, and strong in blocking shots.

Campbell is a pure frame-protecting meat shield, good at preventing low singles.

Jaylon Collins is a very comprehensive defensive center. He has tonnage, can defend against post-ups, can defend against rim players, and can interfere with shooting... Although he is not very powerful, he has everything. He is a versatile backup center. He won't be a star, but he can definitely play in the NBA for many years.

Sean Lukes is rough and aggressive on defense, and is good at bullying those weak-tempered insiders.

The new Evergreen Tree, Li Ao checked the information last night.

This veteran is a mobile center, and his athletic ability is still outstanding at the age of 39. Although he is a short-handed monster, he is 213 centimeters tall but only has a wingspan of 208 centimeters, but his way of scoring is to jump up after receiving the ball and hit the opponent's fingertips. The ball is thrown to the basket from above, with a strong bounce. Although there are not many blocks, the shot interference effect is very strong.

He reached his peak in the 91-92 season, averaging 18.3 points and 15.5 rebounds per game. He was selected to the All-Star and the third team that year.

Li Ao looked at the team roster. There were 15 players and 5 centers. It was incredible.

Is this the 'shark effect'?Spit, spit.

...

Although the introduction of Kevin Willis attracted a lot of attention, it had little impact on the Clippers. Gentry did not even adjust tactics for the new players.

This signing is purely for O'Neal, with five centers lined up to choose from.

Even if Kevin Willis needs to play due to some unexpected factors later in the regular season, it will be up to Kevin Willis to adapt to the new style of play, rather than others adapting to him.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the Clippers' home game against the Spurs started.

The Clippers played all their main players in this game, and Jordan did not rest because of the Spurs' record of 28 wins and 44 losses, because they have reached the stage of elevating the competition to the playoff level.

Arenas was unlucky when facing the Clippers who played this way.

Although he has been trained intensively, he has averaged 15 points and 4.4 assists per game so far in his rookie season, but his shooting percentage has dropped to 39%. Meeting a strong defensive team... is another day to hone his will.

快船队今晚进攻打得很自由,以单打为主,乔丹12投8中,加上3中3的罚球拿到19分5板2助攻。

李敖23分5板2助攻4抢断5盖帽、毕比12分5助攻、奥多姆9分11板6助攻。

O'Neal Jr. bullied the opposing high school students with 15 points, 14 rebounds and 3 blocks. Kwame Brown actually played well tonight, with 8 points, 10 rebounds and 2 blocks. However, he only made 9 of 3 shots and was blocked twice by Li Ao and O'Neal Jr. each. He made 8 of 4 free throws and has the potential to be the 'first center'.

阿里纳斯拿到6分3板3助攻,又是绝望的一晚,全场11投仅2中,还被蜘蛛侠正面抢断3次!
He didn't know it was an illusion, but he felt that Spider-Man had become faster, stronger, and better at jumping.

They were both about the same age, and Spider-Man was still growing physically. He could understand that, but it was less than two months since the last fight!
He felt that this was an illusion and that the evil Trojan Spider-Man must have put too much pressure on him.

He decided to work harder!

The Clippers defeated the Spurs 91-80, improving their record to 58 wins and 15 losses.

After the final whistle sounded, Li Ao received a task completion prompt.

"Mute the Sharpshooter:
目标1:本赛季与吉尔伯特-阿里纳斯交手时,需至少3次让对方得分低于10分。(5次交手,吉尔伯特-阿里纳斯得分分别为:23分、7分、7分、14分、6分,已完成。)
Goal 2: Win every match against Gilbert Arenas this season. (5 wins, 0 losses, completed)
Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: designated skill kicking kindergarten level 3 skill upgrade card, general general emergency stop jump shot level 1 training method. "

Li Ao turned on the training mode. The pull-up jumper training method he polished with the help of James Worthy, David Thompson and others also has Level 1. Arenas' pull-up jumper training method can be used as a reference to continue to improve the pull-up jumper. The stop jump shooting technique may also be helpful to the level 2 catch-and-stop jump shooting training method.

I used the skill upgrade card I just got immediately to upgrade 'Kick Kindergarten' to level 3.

"Kick Kindergarten Level 3:
Offense: When facing a rookie defense, the host gains speed +2, jumping +3, and all-round shooting +3.

Defense: When the host defends a rookie, its speed is +3, its strength is +2, and its tackling awareness is greatly improved. "

This skill is really useful!Li Ao's intuitive feeling is that it is easier to use than the 'bullying the old mode'. Most veterans have a more conservative style of play, unlike rookies who have to hit the muzzle of the gun even if they can't beat the opponent.

He is increasingly looking forward to the group of talented forward and defensive rookies who will enter the NBA in two years...

After defeating the Spurs, the Clippers got two days off.

During the break on the 3rd, Li Ao practiced pull-up jump shots and three-pointers for an extra day. On the 4th, he went with the team for a day of team training. In the evening, he returned home and watched the live broadcast in front of the TV with his hospital assistant aunt.

The Trojans reached the Madness III finals again after a year!

Dajuan Wagner and David Lee, two of the top ten high school students in the country in 01, went crazy in their freshman seasons.

Wagner averaged 21 points, 6.5 assists and 2 steals per game, won the Rookie of the Year Award, was nominated for the Wooden Award, and was selected to the Pac10 First Team and the All-American Second Team.

It is worth mentioning that Wagner averaged 42.5 points per game in his senior season...

David Lee averaged 13 points and 9 rebounds per game, ranking first in the Pac10 league in double-doubles this season.

These two plus the 00 top 4 high school students in the United States from the class of 25 who are not so talented but have good abilities, the Trojans reached the Crazy Three with a record of 5 wins and [-] losses, passed all the way, and defeated them in the quarterfinals. Kansas defeated UConn in the Final Four and met the University of Maryland Terrapins in the finals.

The opponent Terrapins are also very strong, with Steve Blake averaging 8 points and 8 assists per game, Juan Dixon averaging 20.4 points per game, and Chris Wilcox averaging 12 points and 7 rebounds per game. , is also a talented player who has attracted the attention of NBA teams.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the game started.

The score was 37 to 45 in the first half, with the Trojans trailing by 8 points. Li Ao was so furious that he wanted to fly over to the field and kill them randomly. Vivian was so happy when she saw this that she didn't even feel frustrated that her alma mater team was lagging behind. .

In the second half, Wagner showed off his talent that was touted as 'Iverson plus', using his speed to break into the paint again and again, tearing apart the opponent's defense, scoring 15 points and 6 assists in the half, leading the Trojans to play The halftime score was 43-30.

靠着瓦格纳单场23分10助攻、山姆-克兰西的20分6板4盖帽、大卫-李的10分14板,特洛伊人队以80比75逆转水龟队,3年里第2次捧起NCAA篮球锦标赛冠军奖杯!
After the live broadcast, Li Ao and Vivian drove to the University of Southern California and set off fireworks with their classmates to celebrate their championship.

After winning the final four, Li Ao planned the fireworks. If he won the final, he would celebrate for the college team. If he lost... he would pay tribute to becoming the worst loser...

...

On April 4, the NBA resumed play after a one-day suspension.

The Clippers have a game today, alternating home and away games in back-to-back first games.

During the pre-game meeting in the morning, the teammates saw Spider-Man smiling and knew what was going on.

The university team has won the championship, shouldn't you be happy?

And after the Trojans won the championship, the media mentioned the most, not Wagner, who won the semi-finals and swept the MOP, but Li Ao.

It is said that it was because of Spider-Man that the Trojans were able to start this golden era.

Even Wagner, who just announced that he was leaving college early to participate in the draft after receiving the MOP, said that he chose to join the Trojans because of Spider-Man.

Not only him, but the eight top 8 high school students in the United States that the Trojans have grabbed in the past two years all said that they wanted to join the Trojans because of Spider-Man.

Before Spider-Man led the Trojans to a legendary season, a high school student ranked 54th in the United States was regarded as a treasure by the Trojans.

After the meeting, Jordan said disdainfully to Li Ao: "It's not like you led the team to win the championship. What are you proud of?"

Li Ao shook his shoulders and said: "You are sore, you are sore. If we win another championship, we will tie you North Carolina. Are you jealous? Look at our lineup. Even if Wagner leaves college early, our probability of winning next year will be He’s taller than you too!”

Jordan said angrily: "Felton, McCants, and May, the top ten high school students in the United States, have already announced that they will join us. We will definitely win the next championship before you do. We'll see!"

"Bosh and Frazier are also very interested in us, we'll see what happens, hum!"

Teammates gathered around to watch the God of Basketball and Spider-Man bickering with each other on a daily basis, and it was hard to get used to seeing this scene.

At 5:[-] pm, the Clippers faced the challenge of the Jazz at home.

In this game, the Clippers' defense was pretty good. Malone only made 16 of 7 shots, plus 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 16 points, the highest on the Jazz team.Double attack, switch defense, contraction, all done very well.

But the Jazz's vacated wing shooters and cutters were extremely accurate, and they were too accurate. Little Spider-Man threw a layup just before it hit the ground after being pressed by O'Neal, and it rubbed against the backboard. , fell into the basket.

The Jazz's team-high score was 16 points, but 11 of the 10 players on the field scored, 7 of whom scored in double figures, and the team scored 105 points.

快船队这边,李敖28分7板4助攻、乔丹13分8助攻、毕比17分4助攻、小奥尼尔11分11板、奥多姆13分4板2助攻……全队拿到99分,赛季平均水平,不好不坏,被爵士队75投41中的超高命中率投死了。

99 to 105, the Clippers lost at home.

On the second day, the Clippers came to the Salt Lake City Energy Solutions Arena to challenge the Jazz away from home.

Everything comes and goes, and tonight it's the Clippers' turn to surge.

Jordan forced himself to play in back-to-back games and performed extremely fiercely. He played 23 minutes and made 11 of 7 shots, plus 13 of 10 free throws. He scored 24 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal, defeating his old rival Byron Russell. The earth ascends to heaven.

Kirilenko restricted Li Ao better tonight than last night. Li Ao only made 15 of 6 shots, and only scored 5 points with 5 of 17 free throws. However, he had 6 rebounds and 7 assists, and he did a good job in supporting. With 2 steals and 5 blocks, his defense was better than Kirilenko's.

Malone scored 15 of 5 tonight in the double attack by Li Ao, Jordan, and O'Neal, and only scored 14 points, which was even worse than Li Ao.

On the Clippers side, in addition to Jordan and Li Ao who were irritable on offense and defense, Bibby was even more irritable. He made 15 of 9 shots, including 2 of 2 three-pointers, plus 4 of 4 free throws, scoring 24 points and 9 assists. .

Relying on the violent performance of the three major perimeter players, the Clippers defeated the Jazz 109-86, and the grudge was immediately avenged the next day!
...

After back-to-back games with the Jazz, the Clippers' record fell to 59 wins and 16 losses, losing the chance to tie the Lakers in the 99-00 season.

Li Ao only remembered this after seeing the news on ESPN.

Of course he also wanted to tie the Lakers, but if he didn't tie it, then he didn't tie it.

The Kings just had a back-to-back game with 1 win and 1 loss.

Webber really can't deal with Garnett. The Kings are so strong this season. They have 2 wins and 2 losses against the Lakers, but they have a 1 win and 3 losses against the Timberwolves. The Timberwolves won the game just after losing Terry. After the pain period after Brandon, now that the Timberwolves have regained their 50-win level last season, the Kings were upset.

Against the Magic, the Kings once again showed their strong strength. They were tied in the first quarter, and the Kings led 27 to 21 in the second quarter. The two teams began to fight for stability, and in the end the Magic lost steadily by 4 points.

The Kings currently have 58 wins and 17 losses, and they still have a weak lead over the Clippers.

Although it didn't matter that he didn't tie the Lakers, being upset by the Jazz still sounded the alarm for Li Ao.

The top eight in the Western Conference have been determined. The Jazz currently have 41 wins and 34 losses, ranking eighth. The seventh-place SuperSonics have 42 wins and 34 losses. The top six have a huge advantage. These two teams cannot catch up. The ninth-place Suns currently have 32 With 43 wins and [-] losses, the possibility of entering the playoffs has been lost, and neither team can fall out.

If the Clippers finally hold on to the league's first place, their opponents in the first round will be between these two teams. Both teams have defeated them once in the regular season.

Although he has confidence in the strength of his own team, and after Jordan enters his best form, they are already the clear favorites to compete for the championship, but Li Ao dare not be careless.

These veteran teams are difficult to deal with in the playoffs.

After playing against the Jazz, Li Ao returned to Los Angeles with the team and faced challenges from the Nuggets and Grizzlies on the 8th and 10th.

Jordan didn't play in either game, but won both games easily.

Against the Nuggets, Li Ao played 26 minutes and made 13 of 8 shots, plus 5 of 4 free throws. He scored 20 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks. After scoring 20 points, he was replaced by Gentry.

加上小奥尼尔的28分、毕比的18分3助攻、奥多姆的12分14板11助攻,快船队以102比75爆锤掘金队。

打灰熊队,李敖打了33分钟,18投11中,其中三分球3中1,外加5中4的罚球,拿到27分8板3助攻1抢断4盖帽。

O'Neal Jr. and Gasol exchanged blows. The former scored 13 points and 10 rebounds, and the latter scored 18 points and 7 rebounds. It was a back-and-forth game.

加上毕比的13分5助攻、奥多姆的13分6助攻,快船队以94比82轻松击败灰熊队。

In the game against the Grizzlies, Li Ao faced his old teammate Maggette's rough but skilful defense. He performed extremely well in singles, scoring 11 of 8 goals in singles.

Most of them were three-threat threats that dazzled the opponent and then broke through to make pull-up jumpers, or turned around and made pull-up jump shots. After the game, he received a system prompt and his pull-up jump shot skills successfully exceeded 80!

Looking at 88's basic emergency stop skills, he estimated that there was still a lot of room for improvement in this move, but the training method was holding him back. Although there was a training efficiency bonus, it was still half the result with twice the effort.

He knows that this is a normal situation. The progress that can be made during the season is always limited. In addition to talent, playing time, physical strength and other reasons, there is no time to study and polish the training methods. This is also the core reason. Otherwise, Olajuwon training camps will not be held in the future. More than 20 years ago.

He actually has the means to continue polishing his training methods now, but he has no time and can only wait until the offseason.

Next, seize the time to practice mid-range and long-range shots, post-up shots, and turn-over jump shots!
...

On the afternoon of the 11th, the Clippers left Los Angeles and started their last consecutive away game of the season. This time, after three consecutive away games, all 3 away games in the regular season were played.

After getting on the plane, Li Ao saw his teammates playing cards, catching up on sleep, and watching videos as usual. He was not too excited.

Li Ao said to Jordan, who took a break after playing two laps: "We won 61. The news has been praising us these two days. I thought they would be very excited. What a surprise."

Jordan responded: "After we won 15 consecutive games, we were already sure that we could win 60 games. We were already excited at that time, but of course we can treat it calmly now. A calm mentality is very important. We are competing for the first place in the league. time."

"Oh? Michael, how did you feel when you got 60 wins for the first time?"

"It was very difficult. We won 7 of the last 6 games to get 61 wins, and lost to the Pistons in the middle. The last two opponents were the Pistons, and the other opponent was the Hornets. They had beaten us before. , at that time the media didn’t expect us to win 60 games, but I did it.”

Looking at Jordan's arrogant look, Li Ao nodded and replied: "It seems that we are better. Everyone thinks that we will definitely win 60 wins. I think it is possible for us to win 65 wins."

Jordan: [○`Д○]
Aren't we having a good chat?And bring a handful of them to step on?
He couldn't refute it yet, the 'we' in this big spider's mouth also included him.

Wasn't it because he changed 'we' to 'I' in the end to show off a little bit? He even pretended to be so subtle, but it was still heard, damn it!

After a night's rest in Dallas, on April 4, the Clippers came to the American Airlines Center to challenge the Mavericks away from home.

At 7:40 pm, the two teams entered the stadium.

"Dallas Mavericks, 53 wins and 24 losses, averaging 106.3 points per game, allowing 102.7 points per game..."

Li Ao looked at the Mavericks' team report and thought of the Timberwolves, the head coach who looked like the godfather of the gang. He didn't know how jealous he was of Nelson.

The Timberwolves had no choice but to play offense in the early part of the season. If they wanted to be stronger, they could only go to the wrong side, and the main point guard would be wiped out.

For the Mavericks, there is absolutely no problem in building an offensive and defensive team. Last season's rules were not as conducive to defense as they are now. The Mavericks already have first-class defensive capabilities and should do better.

But Nelson is not, eh, just playing. He has been playing for a whole season and now ranks first in the league in points per game and second in points allowed per game.

When you become a head coach like Nelson, except for the fact that you don't have a championship, you are definitely a winner in life in the coaching world.

Li Ao turned off the system and felt a hot gaze.

He followed his gaze and looked... King Silver Horn!
What does this guy want to do?Any quirks?its not right!This guy is over 40 years old and still engaged in online dating and was defrauded... Oh, that must be because he is greedy for his Spider-Man skills.

Let's show it off. The Golden Rooster has an independent back-up package. The opponent's defense is so bad that only the Warriors can compare with it. Let's go straight tonight!
At 8 o'clock in the evening, the Clippers' away game against the Mavericks started.

Spider-Man and King Silverhorn start the battle mode directly at the beginning!
Nelson is ready to let Nowitzki do whatever he wants in the next game. They have 53 wins, and the Timberwolves currently have 47 wins. There are only 5 games left in the regular season. They have secured the top spot in the division and second place in the Western Conference. Instead of fighting for a meaningless victory, it is better to let the disciples practice their singles skills in the remaining games to prepare for the playoffs.

Nelson was very confused at first. He asked Nowitzki to strengthen transfer passing, running and shooting, and learn Spider-Man's support method to become a better axis and have the ability to distribute the ball, whether in singles or catching the ball. Shooting would be smoother, but this disciple seemed to understand and went to learn singles... but the effect surprised him.

He had never thought about how useful it would be for Nowitzki to develop a post-up game. Some people say that Nowitzki is a larger version of Bird, but he knows that talent like Bird can only be encountered but not sought. Nowitzki's talent comparison Big Bird is still worse.

But the results of the training were beyond his expectations. Spider-Man's style of play relied on wingspan, but Nowitzki's height can play a similar role.

Nelson was not the kind of rigid coach. He decisively admitted that he was wrong and asked Nowitzki to learn how to play from the back.

Tonight, the Silver Horn King showed his progress in singles throughout the season, mainly in back-up play, turn-over jump shots, turn-around shots, and two-step pull-up jump shots.

He was very accurate. He scored 8 out of 3 shots in the first quarter. In addition, he was fouled on a hook shot and scored 8 points in a single quarter.

Li Ao's side is much more coquettish, playing in singles with Adrian Griffin and Finley, all kinds of turnaround fadeaways, turnaround fadeaways, emergency stop fadeaway jumpers... If you don't lean back, kicking your legs will feel uncomfortable, Jordan looks at it The corners of his mouth twitched.

Jordan can understand leaning back to look cool, but what's wrong with kicking?
Li Ao made 9 of 6 shots in a single quarter, including 1 of 1 three-pointers. The Mavericks' defense was not strong. He did not make a free throw in the first quarter, but he still scored 13 points in a single quarter!
The firepower gap between the two also represents the firepower gap between the two teams.

It’s not that the Clippers can attack better than the opponent. If they encounter a team with average or bad defense, the Mavericks will most likely score more points than the Clippers, but the Mavericks themselves are one of the worst defensive teams, and the Clippers It can also restrict Nash from leading the team in fast breaks.

The Clippers led the Mavericks by 34 points 25-9 in the first quarter!
In the second quarter, after having a clear lead, Gentry began to try pure defense to exercise his team's defensive ability. Although the probability is not high, if the Mavericks really defeat the Kings and rush into the Western Conference Finals... ...Be prepared for any trouble.

Overall, the defense was pretty good in this quarter. The Mavericks' score dropped to 22 points, but the Clippers themselves only scored 21 points.

Entering the halftime break, Gentry was complained by his fans that "it's better to play offense." He thought about it. If he can win the Mavericks on offense, he really might as well go all out on offense. Isn't his neighbor next door also famous for his tricks?

In the second half, the confrontation continued. The Clippers scored 30 points in two consecutive quarters, and the Mavericks' offensive firepower was also good, scoring 26 and 27 points respectively.

At 10:22 p.m., the game ended.

Nowitzki took 28 crazy shots tonight and scored 12 goals. His singles effect was actually quite average. Instead, he shot three-pointers well after catching the ball. He made 6 of 3 shots and 4 of 4 free throws. , scored 31 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals.

纳什19分1板7助攻、芬利13分、范埃克塞尔16分。

李敖今晚好好向银角大王展示了一波背打技术,26投14中,其中三分球4中2,加上6中5的罚球,拿到35分4板2助攻2抢断1盖帽。

乔丹打了31分钟,15投9中,外加4中2的罚球,拿到20分4板7助攻。

加上小奥尼尔的13分8板、奥多姆的11分10板7助攻、毕比的12分6助攻……

115 to 100, the Clippers defeated the Mavericks, improving their record to 62 wins and 16 losses!
...

This game was won smoothly, and Old Nelson opened Li Ao's eyes again.

In order to cultivate young talents, it is normal to sacrifice part of the strength and record.

But a team that has a high probability of winning 55 games does this... It's worthy of Nelson!

King Silver Horn's post-playing talent also made him feel the pressure.

The Silver Horn King's post-up shooting is at his level during the playoffs last season. He only knows how to post-up and shoot more accurately because the opponent's basic shooting skills are better than his back then.

In addition, the Silver Horn King has the height and wingspan of a center, and his inside skills are more suitable for post-up play than outside.

It seems that a terrible monster has been released... But it doesn't matter, the other party is progressing faster, and he is progressing faster!

The next day, the 13th, the Clippers left Dallas and came to Seattle. Next was a back-to-back away game, their last back-to-back this season.

Up to now, the fans' attention has been focused on the three teams.

One team is the Lakers with 57 wins and 21 losses. After the Lakers won 9 consecutive victories, the winning streak was ended by the Kings. With 4 games left to play, it is still very likely to win 60 games.

One is the Kings, which currently has 61 wins and 17 losses, setting a new record for the best record in team history. With 4 games left, if they win all, they will achieve a 65-win record for the first time in team history.

The last team is the Clippers. Although they can no longer tie the Lakers in the 99-00 season, they have great hopes of hitting 65 wins.

Based only on each team's best record in team history, 65 wins would rank fifth among the 29 teams!
The current fifth place is the Jazz, who won 96 games in the 97-64 season.

Yes, this is another 'Emperor's record', ESPN continues to lead the mainstream media.

Other media look down on ESPN for only engaging in gimmick operations, producing flashy records, and being ridiculed by fans, but they can't handle the huge traffic. The traffic on the Internet platforms of other sports media combined is not as much as that of ESPN, so just Can follow the hype.

At 14 o'clock in the evening on the 8th, the Clippers' away game against the SuperSonics started at Key Arena.

The SuperSonics and Jazz currently both have 42 wins. The competition for seventh place in the Western Conference is very fierce. It is obvious that both teams want to play the Mavericks more.

Jordan was also spoiled for choice between these two opponents.

He not only wants to defeat Payton again in the playoffs, but also wants to defeat Shuangsha again in the playoffs.

But once the game started, Jordan had no intention of 'picking an opponent'.

Wanting to avoid the Clippers and meet Jordan, Payton exploded under the dual power!

In the first quarter, the Sonics, led by Payton, scored 28-24 and gained a 4-point lead.

In the second quarter, the Clippers gave the SuperSonics a 25-21 lead. After halftime, the two teams were tied at 49.

In the third quarter, Payton went wild, making 12 of 8 shots in a single quarter, plus 3 of 3 free throws, scoring 19 points and 3 assists, leading the Sonics to score 31 points in a single quarter.

The Clippers defended very well, no worse than they did in the second quarter.

The Sonics really relied on Payton's mid-range shots one after another, beating the Clippers 31-24 in a single quarter and gaining a 7-point lead.

In the past, it was the Clippers who made their opponents feel the horror of the mid-range shot. Tonight, it was their turn to be hammered.

At the end of the quarter, Payton's firepower retreated. The Clippers counterattacked, made one-on-one mid-range shots in positional battles, and wing players cut in to eat the pie. They used all their firepower to suppress the Sonics like crazy.

In the first 11 and a half minutes, the Clippers scored 24 to 19, narrowing the point difference to two points!

It was the Clippers offense again. At the critical moment, Jordan passed the ball to Bibby in a single. Bibby was flanked by Barry and Lewis and then passed.

Li Ao pulled to the right sideline, caught the ball and shot a three-pointer...it went in!
The key ball, a sure winner!

100 to 99, the Clippers lead by 1 point!
The Sonics did not call a timeout, and in the final game, Li Ao, Bibby, and Matt Halprin were targeting Lewis, Barry, and Radmanovic.

Payton singled out Jordan and broke through with a fake move. Jordan immediately removed his defense.

让乔丹没想到的是,前面25投14中加上6中5的罚球拿到33分一次三分出手都没有的佩顿,在最后时刻分差只有1分的情况下,选择了撤步三分出手……

While the ball was still flying in the air, the final whistle sounded, and the ball fell into the frame with a long whistle.

The high-level referee confirmed that Payton's shooting point was outside the three-point line, and the technical table confirmed that there were 1.1 seconds left when the ball left Payton's hand.

The glove's three-pointer is effective, and it kills Spider-Man!
102 to 100, the SuperSonics ended the Clippers' 4-game winning streak!

...

After the game, the expressions of Li Ao and Jordan were like this——

Li Ao: ()
Jordan: (**||)
The former is a pain in the ass. A strong team in the Western Conference playoff level cannot be underestimated. It comes as a sudden surprise.

Jordan was the one who was killed, and he is very embarrassed now.

Both of them scored 22 points tonight, Bibby scored 16 points, O'Neal Jr. and Odom both scored 10 points. They played very well and even completed a quasi-win at the last moment...

But Payton's 36 points, 4 rebounds and 9 assists... are their fault.

It's no problem to defend, but if the opponent gets in, it's their problem.

There is also Anthony Mason Jr.'s 22 points and 7 rebounds. Li Ao feels that some people should not give them a chance and shoot themselves in the foot.

After Payton excitedly celebrated the victory with his teammates, he ran to the Clippers to find Jordan to show off his victory: "I won this time! I will kill you on your head!"

Jordan put away his embarrassment. Unlike Li Ao, he would complain even if he lost: "You are lucky tonight. If you have the guts, you can pick us in the first round!"

Payton: (ˇˇ) Let’s discuss this again…

Li Ao was on the sidelines and rebelled against Jordan: "Glove is not a fool. How could he compete with you for the sake of face? He will definitely shrink his head, endure it, and choose to play the Mavericks for the sake of this victory."

Payton listened to the first half of Big Spider's sentence and thought this guy was pretty good, but after listening to it...****, damn Spider-Man!

Faced with these two guys one on one, they would definitely not be able to spray each other. Payton cursed and turned around to leave.

Li Ao and Jordan looked at each other - happy cooperation.

But after a wave of harsh words, both of them felt huge pressure.

Li Ao said: "We lost tonight. Our record is now 62 wins and 17 losses. I still thought that we could easily win against the Sonics and the Timberwolves in the last game. Now we must win the last two games."

Jordan shook his head: "Not only that, my agent told me during halftime that the Kings also won. They are now 62 wins and 17 losses. Their next three opponents are the Grizzlies and Suns. , and us, they can really win easily in those two games. I was defeated by Payton tonight. If we don't win the next two games, not only will we not win 3 games, but we will also lose the first place in the league. "

After saying that, Jordan waited for the evil spider to spray him and was hammered by Payton.

but……

"It's okay. The Kings and Timberwolves both win. We can get 65 wins and stay first in the league." After speaking, Li Ao turned and walked towards the player tunnel.

Jordan:︽⊙_⊙︽……()……[○`Д○]
Damn, why didn’t you squirt this time?
This god of basketball has prepared himself mentally, but the damn big spider doesn’t even spray!
Although ten thousand alpacas ran through his heart, Jordan felt a little bit of warmth.

Such a situation is still rare in his career. When he was with the Bulls, if he lost, no teammate would dare to comfort him...

Looking at the back of Spider-Man walking into the tunnel, Jordan put aside his self-blame for being the winner.

Spider-Man is right, what are you afraid of? They won the last two games and they are still number one in the league!

However, he never thought that one day he would be the one led by someone else.

This feels actually pretty good!
 I made up for the 8000 words that day, and by the way, I made up for the 1000 words from last month. There is still 6.2 words left. Xiaofeng takes his time~
