Li Ao only scored 18 points, but got a career-high 9 assists in a single game!
At the beginning, he dunked twice in a row. Later, he cut into the opponent's defense and moved accordingly. After receiving the ball, he could easily get an assist or pass the ball to a teammate who had a chance to pass the ball.
After celebrating with his teammates and enjoying the joy of winning streak, Li Ao looked at 9 assists and secretly hated himself for not having the spirit of a sewer.
Just saying that in this game, if he only passes to teammates who have opportunities to catch and shoot, and stick to the ball for a while, it is possible to get three or five assists.
But seeing a narrow win by 6 points... forget it, it's just a double-double. I've never won it anyway.
Garnett, Li Ao refreshed his understanding of this superstar tonight.
This guy is loud! Very noisy!
This guy is so noisy that Spider-Man is noisy.
Throughout the game, Garnett's duck voice didn't stop talking.
And he always looks angry, yelling at teammates, yelling at opponents, and swearing.
but!
The more furious Garnett looked, the calmer he played.
It's as if the face is one person and the player playing ball is another!
26 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.
Garnett's performance tonight was perfect. His defensive statistics were not high, but his role cannot be reflected in the number of blocks and steals. The Clippers' offense took off tonight, but their scoring could not soar. The Timberwolves The team's defensive level has always maintained a high lower limit.
Li Ao finally felt the legendary 'one-person joint defense'.
On the offensive end, Garnett performed almost perfectly in regular time. He scored 8 points on 4 of 6 shots from close range and at the basket, 10 points on mid-range shots and long two-pointers, 4 points on counterattacks, 4 points on free throws, and 4 points on free throws. He has an offensive performance that is not inferior to that of Odom.
Speaking only of basketball ability, except for the weakness of key shots, Garnett is almost a perfect contemporary basketball player.
…
Winning is good!
After back-to-back defeats of the Suns and Timberwolves, two teams with a 50-win record, Li Ao saw them making headlines in many media outlets the next morning, at least on the front page.
The content is all about boasting and bragging.
As for some exaggerated content, will it offend the neighbors next door?
He doesn't care anyway.
Since knowing that the Lakers refused to use their role player group + pay two or three years of garbage contract salary to trade the No. 2 pick with the Grizzlies, his desire to beat his next door neighbor has become stronger and stronger, and he has become more motivated in training.
In the morning, Li Ao sent the hospital assistant's aunt to school to go to work. He also went to class all morning to adjust his recent tense mentality.
Unfortunately, the enthusiasm of teachers and students in the school affected his feeling of learning. Even the professor took out posters in the last class and asked for autographs and photos.
However, it still worked to ease my mind. At that time, I was annoyed that I couldn't attend class well. After class, I felt pretty good.
He loved the feeling of welcome.
Having lunch with the hospital assistant, Liam, and Dean Teng, Li Ao seemed to have returned to the feeling of having dinner every Friday last season, and the impetuousness of entering society seemed to have been smoothed away.
In the afternoon, Li Ao came to Memorial Stadium and continued to receive post-up coaching from James Worthy.
James Worthy is excited today.
The employer’s talent this time is terrible!
How many days have you been studying?
He used the post-up shot in the game and scored a key goal!
Li Ao's shooting stability is even more terrifying than James Worthy imagined. He almost fell down, but he was still able to calmly take off and shoot under the cover of defense, maintaining the stability of his shot.
He heard Jordan say that Li Ao claimed to be more talented than Jordan.
Originally he just listened to it for fun, but now he feels that it is not impossible.
…
After a day of rest, on December 23, the Clippers faced the challenge of the Grizzlies at home.
Time will not dilute grudges, it will only make them last longer.
Li Ao once again played against the team that refused to draft him and played extremely hard.
He didn't score much in the first quarter, scoring only 4 points on 2 of 5 shots.
But there are still 1 rebound, 2 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks!
Both blocks were given to the second overall pick.
Li Ao was also quite puzzled. Did this high jumper read too many hot-blooded cartoons about Chicken?
Normal players, knowing that they may be blocked, will definitely think about how to avoid the defense and shoot the ball.
But Swift was not like that. As if thinking, "I want to defeat the opponent's defense head-on," Li Ao and O'Neal stared at Swift. Instead of avoiding their attack, Swift bravely got into their attack. lock up.
Li Ao's shooting percentage was not high in the first quarter because he was ahead by a lot from the beginning. The score was 15 to 5 in more than 3 minutes of the game. After the opponent called a timeout, Gentry specially arranged a high post play tactic for Li Ao.
Li Ao began to develop back-up play, and Gentry asked him to play twice in the game when he had the opportunity.
Although Li Ao was very strong in back-up play twice, and his poor offensive method required him to be very focused, and he did not even see his teammates open opportunities... But Gentry will still find opportunities to let Li Ao in the game in the future. Practice more.
The combination of competition and practice creates better conditions for Li Ao to develop his post-up play.
The Clippers' shooting percentage in the first quarter was astonishingly good, making 13 of 21 shots, including 2 of 4 three-pointers, plus 4 of 4 free throws to score 32 points!
If you exclude someone's 2-for-5 shooting performance, the Clippers' shooting percentage in the first quarter was close to 70%.
With such a high shooting rate, there will be no shortage of counterattacks. The Grizzlies only scored 7 goals from 22 shots in the first quarter and scored 16 points.
However, in the second quarter, the Clippers felt cooler, and the Grizzlies' shooting performance also improved. The Clippers counterattacked less and shot harder... They only scored 16 points in a single quarter.
Fortunately, the Clippers' defense was on the line and did not let their opponents surge. The Grizzlies only scored 21 points in the second quarter.
The situation in the third quarter was similar. The Clippers just shot whatever they wanted.
At this time, the importance of defense is reflected. If they can't score points, their opponents will also be unable to score points!
17 to 18 in a single quarter. At the end of three quarters, the Clippers still maintained a 10-point lead.
In the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies took the lead!
Mike Bibby hit consecutive outside singles, leading his teammates into a wild quarter.
For the Clippers, after two rotations, Gentry finally chose to use Maggette as the main attacker, with Li Ao responding from the mid-range, Greg Anthony catching and shooting from the top arc, O'Neal Jr. rushing, and Chris Mihm. The response at the basket.
Gentry sent two 210+cm inside players, which played an important role on the defensive end!
Bibby made 5 of 6 shots in the final quarter, including 3 of 3 three-pointers, leading the team to shoot 6 of 8 three-pointers in a single quarter.
The Clippers always have insiders who need to go out to defend three-pointers, but O'Neal Jr. and Chris Mihm are both there. No matter who goes out, they can maintain the height advantage at the basket.
COSCO could no longer defend the shot, so Gentry chose to protect the basket.
At least one end was saved!
Gentry's strategy worked. Rahim worked very hard to cut into the attacking frame, trying to echo Bibby in the paint. However, the Clippers always had a tower under the basket, and with Li Ao's shrinking defense, the Grizzlies arrived. At the end of the game, they still failed to combine internal and external offense and failed to go further.
For the Clippers, although the rebound is far less terrible than the Grizzlies, they have a clear tactical play and do a much better job of coordinating the inside and outside. Maggette, who mainly attacks the strong attack, scored 9 points in a single quarter, and Li Ao and the basket on the outside. Junior O'Neal scored 5 points, leading the team.
Although the Grizzlies scored 30 points in a single quarter in the final quarter, the Clippers withstood the opponent's counterattack with 27 points in a single quarter!
Li Ao scored 16 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 5 blocks, Maggette had 13 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, O'Neal Jr. had 12 points and 12 rebounds, Odom had 13 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, Greg Anthony had 11 points... The Clippers relied on defense to defeat the visiting Grizzlies 92-85, winning 4 consecutive victories!
Hearing the final whistle, Li Ao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Bibby's performance shocked him!
15 points and 4 assists in a single quarter, more points and assists than the previous three quarters combined.
Big Q and McGinnis both tried, but couldn't defend them. In the end, they chose to use veteran Greg Anthony to maintain offensive stability.
Li Ao can't guard Bibby yet, he needs to stay on the wing to guard Rahim.
Fortunately, they had Maggette who scored 9 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists in the final quarter!
Tonight's statistics were average. He only got 580 achievement points, and he couldn't complete a dunk against the second pick. This guy has no sense of defense.
Swift was scurrying around blindly when he was making up defense, which made Li Ao very upset and wanted to put Duncan's sense of making up defense into Swift's head.
Fortunately, I blocked Swift three times and got 1,500 achievement points.
With these 2080 achievement points in hand, the achievement points finally returned to 30,000+, reaching 30,795 points!
…
After defeating the Grizzlies, the Clippers got 3 days of rest.
4 consecutive victories ended the early season games.
Double joy!
This night, Li Ao slept particularly soundly... The next morning, he woke up happily.
Opening his eyes, he saw the hospital assistant's aunt squatting with her head raised.
How could he tolerate a sneak attack on his head in the early morning...
Twenty thousand words later, the two of them got tired of sitting on the sofa.
Li Ao asked: "Aunt Vivian, won't you go home for Christmas this year?"
"You want to drive me away again?"
"..."
"Hmph, have you fallen in love with another female star? You must not forget to take safety measures when dating them..."
Li Ao was defeated and complained: "Aunt Vivian, we have known each other for two and a half years, and you still haven't changed at all. You really...have never forgotten your original intention."
"If you don't find a girlfriend, I can't deal with you on my own, so I have to hire external help. Those female celebrities want to date you so much."
"I'm having a baby with you, and you might get pregnant one day. I'm going to leave you to have a girlfriend? Am I a human being anymore?"
"So I don't urge you to find a girlfriend anymore! But it's better to find a little girl to help me share your energy, right?" Vivian said with a wink.
How could Li Ao endure the words of tiger and wolf with such innocent eyes, and once again started the process of creating life with 20,000 words...
It wasn't until noon that the two of them took a shower and went out to buy some Christmas decorations.
Vivian has been busy with the budget declaration for the past month, and finally passed the school board's review before Christmas, so she can spend the Christmas holiday leisurely.
After buying Christmas decorations, Li Ao thought that his team didn't seem to have any big players, so he discussed it with the hospital assistant's aunt, and the two went to the mall again and bought a bunch of gifts.
Seeing that the back seat was almost full and he finally managed to get out of the rearview mirror's field of view, Li Ao felt lucky that he was driving the car of the hospital assistant's aunt.
As for the fact that the hospital assistant's aunt disliked his sports car with running lights when it started, he chose to ignore it.
He is the number one power forward in the history of sports cars and everyone said yes after seeing it!
On Christmas Eve, Li Ao and the hospital assistant did not have anything special to do. They cooked, ate, watched TV, looked at stocks, and made babies. The day passed like this.
On December 25th, Christmas is here.
In the morning, Li Ao attended the press conference for AJ's replica sneakers and took a set of photos. He had to wear AJ's customized replica shoes for a period of time after Christmas.
This time AJ re-engraved it, it was AJ6.
The red and white color scheme is consistent with the Clippers jersey color scheme.
At the same time, AJ announced that it has officially started the production of Li Ao's signature shoes and is discussing copyright issues with Columbia Pictures.
Li Ao had heard Schwartz talk about this before. He felt it was a bit difficult. If he wanted to get it done, AJ would probably have to draw a lot of blood.
But how much blood is lost is none of his business. When AJ asked him for his opinion, of course he supported spending money to get the copyright.
At noon, the NBA officially announced the latest weekly awards.
Li Ao won the award!
What a coincidence, the Clippers' four-game winning streak happened to be within one week. They played the Heat on Monday, the Suns and Timberwolves on Wednesday and Thursday, and the Grizzlies on Saturday. They all won!
Li Ao averaged 24 points, 6 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.7 steals and 4.2 blocks per game, including 1 game with 40+ points, and won the Player of the Week award!
In the evening, Li Ao, who had just received the Player of the Week Award trophy, came to the Staples Center with his assistant aunt, Liam, Dean Teng, and the old man to watch the Christmas game between the Lakers and Trail Blazers.
Originally, Li Ao wanted to ask the Lakers for game tickets, and he was expecting the Lakers not to give them tickets. He wanted to see if he could save up the legendary anger points and have a big explosion or something.
As a result, Kobe called him last night and told him that Buss had left some tickets and asked him if he wanted to go to the game.
This was so embarrassing, Li Ao immediately called and asked, confirming that Liam and Dean Teng wanted to come, and asked for 4 tickets.
As for the old man, he has Lakers season tickets.
At 7:40 pm, Li Ao felt strange when he saw Sugarman coming out of the visiting team's tunnel as a starter.
Is this giving this guy a chance to fight on Christmas Day?
Come on Lakers!
Two and a half hours later, Li Ao took off his fake Lakers fan vest.
109 to 104, the Trail Blazers overturned the defending champion in the away game and won.
Seeing Li Ao keep complaining, the hospital assistant's aunt couldn't stop laughing.
Li Ao didn't expect Fisher to be so important!
Last season in the Western Conference Finals, the Flying Squirrels were defended and averaged only 7 points and 3 assists per game.
Tonight, while Fisher was injured, the Flying Squirrels scored 23 points and 9 assists.
Coupled with the support of Pippen, who had 12 points and 7 assists, the two gave Tianzun a single game of 30 points and Sugar Man a single game of 19 points. The Trail Blazers twin towers both set new season personal scoring highs.
The OK team also claimed to be the best in the world, but Kobe only scored 36 points and O'Neal only scored 34 points. They did not deserve to win!
If the two of them score 81 points together, wouldn't they win?
