"Congratulations to the host for defeating the Grizzlies. Statistics for this game: 41 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 6 blocks. Reward: 880 achievement points."
"Third pick:
In the game against the Grizzlies, the host completed two blocks on Stromire Swift. Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: 1,000 achievement points. "
When Li Ao woke up the next morning, he couldn't help but look at the two reminders after last night's game again.
41 points in a single game, so flattering!
Although 29 shots last night was a bit excessive...but it doesn't matter.
As a rookie that the team focuses on training, he dares to fight hard in his spare time.
He got up and browsed various media websites and forums. No, they were all touting his 41 points, 6 blocks, and 4 times 5 data.
The person he blocked the most shots last night was not Swift. Later, he didn't care about this opponent. The person he blocked the most was Osella Harrington, one of the "Texas Three" and a substitute for the Grizzlies. center.
Osela Harrington was the first pick in the second round of the 1996 golden generation. He has an active playing style and a strong body. The disadvantage is that he is only 206 centimeters tall and has average athletic ability.
Li Ao also saw a post analyzing the 10 blocks he got in two games, and came to the conclusion that he was very restrained from those insiders who were not fast and whose scoring area was fixed at the basket. Therefore, many replies ridiculed him. Bullying the old man'.
But it’s just a joke. He has received a lot of recognition in this regard. Some people commented on his blocks. He greatly restricted the easy scoring opportunities of the opponent’s players with the weakest scoring ability. This can play a big role in the game. effect.
After reading the news that made him happy for a while, Li Ao searched the Grizzlies fan forum to see more happy things.
Oops!
So lively!
He saw a lot of posts from Clippers fans thanking the Grizzlies.
And the Grizzlies fans are actually on the same side as their Clippers fans!
He was talking nonsense in an interview yesterday, and the reporter really pretended not to notice that he was talking nonsense.
Even the Clippers fans believe the saying 'I like cities with a comfortable environment'.
According to a survey by Yingjiang Media, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Vancouver, Seattle, Portland and other cities are the cities most chosen by flower growers to work in North America.
Seeing the Grizzlies management being ridiculed by the crowd, Li Ao felt happy.
He has no grudges against the Grizzlies. He has never met the Grizzlies management, and the other party did not invite him for a tryout. But after becoming a professional player, he understood why Dampier, Big Z, Jr. O'Neal, Ben -Wallace and others fought extra hard every time they saw Canby as if they saw the enemy who killed his father.
Iverson is strong and Raheem has a good character and personality. Camby is the only top three picks that players in the same class are eyeing, especially players at the same position who want to beat the second pick.
It was 7 o'clock when he was checking the news. Li Ao went to masturbate for more than half an hour, took a shower, cooked for the hospital assistant's aunt, and then read e-mail shopping magazines with her at the hospital assistant's house.
With the popularity of mobile phones, phone shopping, the most popular shopping method at Zubenji, spread to Ye Ding Yingjiang. Li Ao remembered that this seemed to have become popular in China at this time, and a lot of phone shopping programs appeared on TV.
After resting all morning and having lunch, Li Ao came to the Memorial Stadium.
Today, Saturday, Henry Bibby worked very efficiently and arranged training for Li Ao.
But today Li Ao serves as a 'defensive training partner', which is the condition he accepted from the middle-aged handsome man. His old teammates help him practice running positions, and he helps his old teammates polish their offensive coordination.
This year the Trojans have developed a lot, and they have won five of the top 100 high school students in the United States in one fell swoop. The highest ranked player is Gerald Wallace, who is ranked No. 4, and is also the one whom Henry Bibby asked him to focus on.
After the training began, the talented freshmen, led by Sam Clancy, were all eager to challenge Li Ao.
Especially Gerald Wallace, who is ranked the highest. I often hear classmates compare him with Li Ao, but they don't think highly of him.
Although sports is not his favorite industry, he has been working hard to choose this path. Although he and Li Ao are a freshman and a junior, they are only 1 year apart. He feels very unhappy about being underestimated!
Then...in the training match, Gerald Wallace, who was opposite Li Ao, suffered the biggest blow since he started playing basketball.
Break through and break through without moving, the opponent looked obviously thinner than him, and he was indeed thinner than him, but he was much stronger than him!
Excellent defensive skills, excellent awareness, and exaggerated defensive coverage area...
After a training game, Gerald Wallace squatted in the corner and drew circles like Sam Clancy did back then.
The feeling of torturing food was great, but Li Ao was still worried about torturing his younger brother to death.
But something unexpected happened to Li Ao. After resting for a while and conducting several sets of shooting training, in the second intra-team game, Gerald Wallace regrouped and played harder than before on both offense and defense!
In the last training match, Li Ao ran and shot easily. This time he encountered considerable resistance. Gerald Wallace chased him without the ball like a mad dog.
This made Li Ao very happy. He began to try to adjust his running rhythm, reduce movement, reduce unnecessary back and forth running, increase staking, and increase static confrontation to separate the space...
Although Gerald Wallace worked very hard, he had just come out of high school. As expected, he was beaten again.
At 5 o'clock in the evening, Li Ao ended the training with satisfaction.
In the evening, Li Ao invited the entire Trojans team to have a meal, ending a happy day.
…
After a day of rest, Li Ao woke up at around 6 a.m. on the 4th and looked at the calendar on his bedside. There was a game today.
After playing the opener away from home, the Clippers played 5 consecutive games at Staples Center, starting with the Grizzlies, 4 at home and 1 away.
At 7:10 pm, Li Ao stood at the entrance of the home team's tunnel at the Staples Center.
He looked at the five starters on the opposite side, and it was another day of little Zabel in his heart...
Maurice Taylor was sent to the Rockets by the Magic in exchange for Dee Brown, who averaged 1.8 three-pointers per game last season.
At 7:30 p.m., the Clippers and Rockets will face off.
Tonight, Maggette was promoted to the starting position, playing small forward, and Li Ao was moved to the shooting guard position to guard against Mobley.
After the game started, the Clippers dominated the Rockets.
In terms of overall strength, the Rockets are stronger. After the opening game, the Rockets exchanged Dee Brown, who they could not use, for a forward who averaged 17 points per game last season, making a huge profit.
Maurice Taylor is 206 centimeters tall and weighs 116 kilograms. He is very strong, has a tough style of play, and dares to play hard. He just makes up for the shortcomings of Olajuwon's internal offensive avalanche and Barkley's retirement.
Tonight, Odom was hammered by Maurice Taylor.
But Maggette versus Francis, Li Ao versus Mobley, O'Neal Jr. versus Olajuwon, Tianke!
Maurice Taylor made 8 of 14 shots tonight, plus 5 of 8 free throws, scoring 21 points and 6 rebounds.
But Francis only scored 12 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists on 4 of 13 shots tonight.
Although Olajuwon got 12 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks, he had more rebounds because the two teams had a total of 115 rebounds tonight. Li Ao picked up 8 of them tonight from teammates who were like animals. rebound.
Olajuwon took 9 shots tonight and only scored 1 goal. He also scored 4 points on 2 of 2 free throws.
O'Neal only needs to stick to him, restrict his mid-range and short-range shots, and even give Olajuwon a chance to go inside. The Clippers have an old professional rookie who bullies him.
Li Ao blocked 3 shots tonight, two of which were contributed by Olajuwon, "bullying the opponent because they are old and weak."
Mobley was also miserable. He was guarded by Li Ao and scored 16 points on 6 of 15 shots.
The tempo tonight was too slow. Mobley was originally restrained by Li Ao, but he was restrained even more miserably in the slow-paced positional battle in singles.
However, Li Ao also scored badly tonight. He had just scored 41 points and was targeted by the Rockets. He was as calm as ever, passing when he needed to and containing when he needed to. He took 11 shots in the game and scored 12 points. , plus 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks.
The best performers were Odom and O'Neal Jr., the former with 13 points, 20 rebounds and 3 assists, and the latter with 17 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks.
At 9:51 pm, a slow-paced offensive and defensive battle ended.
79 to 67, the Clippers defeated the Rockets and won two consecutive victories!
After the game, Li Ao received a game reward of 460 achievement points.
With the score so low, he can accept the fact that his scoring and assists are low. How can anyone score consistently high numbers and double figures is not bad.
But blocking...
Tonight, he could already feel that the opponent's insiders were avoiding him, including Olajuwon. After being blocked by him twice, he did not go inside.
From the perspective of team defense, this is good, but after just enjoying the joy of blocking 6 shots in a single game, in the second game, it was cut in half directly. In the future, blocking shots will gradually become more difficult.
But then he thought about it, and it was something to be happy about. With the Lakers' preseason games, the Jazz and the Grizzlies' regular seasons, he had gained a reputation as a defender under the basket, and his defensive deterrence was improved. , which is a good thing for the team.
…
After taking away the Rockets, the Clippers got a day of rest.
It’s a busy day in Los Angeles.
The Clippers and Lakers are about to face off!
After 3 regular season games, Li Ao averaged 24.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 5.3 assists, and 4.3 blocks per game, becoming the current hot fried chicken!
The most praising media compared him with O'Neal and David Robinson in their rookie seasons, saying that among the rookies in the past 12 years, only Duncan performed better in his rookie season.
The fact that the Lakers are unwilling to trade their high-quality role players for the second pick has been stirred up again.
As for the fact that the Lakers have negotiated with the Magic to trade the No. 5 pick for more than the market price, the media selectively ignored it.
Under the hype of the media, the attention of all fans was attracted to this game.
It’s fun to watch, who doesn’t love it?
However, the attitude of Los Angeles fans surprised NBA fans in other areas.
When it comes to the team, Clippers fans also feel that the Lakers are much better than them.
But Li Ao's personal popularity in Los Angeles is no less than that of OK!
Sports Illustrated conducted a random street survey in the greater Los Angeles city area. The favorite NBA players are O'Neal first, Li Ao second, and Kobe third.
Li Ao was also surprised by this, because since the beginning of the summer league, Lakers fans often asked him to sign autographs and take photos. At that time, the Clippers had clearly rejected the Lakers' trade offer, and Baylor had received an order not to accept the Lakers. Phone numbers of anyone involved.
This is definitely not the effect that can be achieved by saying "OK combination is the best in the world".
Speaking of which, after the Lakers won the championship last season, the players who praised the OK combination the most were the players from the Trail Blazers and Pacers, the two teams that were ultimately defeated by the Lakers.
Apart from saying, "OK is the best team in the world," Li Ao never discussed the Lakers with anyone else.
Li Ao couldn't understand why he was so popular in Los Angeles, so he didn't think about it. It was a good thing. Who doesn't like to be popular?
Today, Li Ao received good news, bad news, and both good and bad news.
Bad news, O'Neal returned early and will participate in tomorrow's game.
With O'Neal's style of play, there is basically no need to expect the opponent to be out of shape for too long.
Mixed news - in the Lakers' 97-92 win over the Jazz yesterday, Kobe Bryant, who scored 5 mid-range shots in the final quarter and led the team to victory with 14 points in a single quarter, slipped at the last moment and split his head. , crotch ligament strain, will be sidelined for 4-6 weeks.
For the team, Li Ao thinks this is a good thing, OK is not suitable, and they have hope of winning.
But he felt regretful that he couldn't play against Kobe.
But with that good news, nothing else mattered - Li Ao and Schwartz came to a manor in Los Angeles together and met the man known as the God of Basketball - Michael Jordan.
The sneaker endorsement deal is finally about to be signed!
As for Hook, after several months of pushing and pulling, he was reluctantly given a seven-year, $70 million contract.
As Li Ao showed his strength in the preseason, Schwartz ignored Hook's attitude, and Hook was willing to raise the price to tens of millions of dollars.
But just when Hook thought he could take down Li Ao after bleeding, he was stabbed in the back by the sub-brand.
Schwartz has been communicating with AJ for nearly a month. The general direction has been agreed upon, leaving only Li Ao to discuss some details in person.
On the evening of November 5, 2000, fans were discussing tomorrow's game between the Clippers and the Lakers. Is it possible for the Clippers to take advantage of Kobe's injury to upset the defending champion? Can Spider-Man cap O'Neal and Spider-Man? When it comes to what kind of performance he can perform in the game against the Lakers, a piece of bombshell news diverted the fans' attention.
Air Jordan President Larry Miller, chief spokesperson Michael Jordan, and Li Ao held a press conference together.
Michael Jordan announced on behalf of AJ that he has officially signed a contract with Li Ao for 7 years and US$98 million.
Larry Miller also announced that Jordan's exclusive designer, Trink Hartflood, who created the classic and popular AJ6 boots for Jordan, will create exclusive boots for Li Ao within three years.
As soon as this news came out, it caused a sensation all over the United States!
