The scene of O'Neal, Kobe and Li Ao lifting the small trophy together brought an end to this year's All-Star Weekend.
This year's All-Star Weekend, everyone at the scene, in front of the TV, and the participating players was eye-opening.
Many fans have never seen a team score less than 100 points in an All-Star game.
The commentator is still very knowledgeable. Hubie Brown of Time Warner Cable Sports recalled the 1072-73 season when the Eastern team defeated the Western team 104-84.
Most of the players on that Eastern Conference All-Star team were from the Celtics and Knicks. Both teams during that period were very defensive, and they were capable of beating Chamberlain from the Eastern Conference to the Western Conference.
As for the 13 points in the first quarter, in post-game reports, the media found the answer. The lowest score in history, the previous lowest, was in the 1952-1953 season. The Western team led by George McCann defeated the Eastern team led by Bob Cousy. Got 15 points in a single quarter.
The score in that game was 79-75, the lowest and second-lowest points scored by both teams in All-Star Game history.
However, although the Eastern team was prevented from scoring less than 100 points, it does not mean that this game is not good to watch.
On the contrary, the media rated this game as - a classic!
Recalling O'Neal sitting under the basket, Kobe standing in the top arc, Garnett standing on the sideline of the three-second zone, and Kidd and Li Ao on the wings... fans can feel the strong sense of oppression from the memories.
Just thinking about it makes me sympathize with the Eastern team. What happened to them...
The phrase "Fu*k you Basketball Dream" that the five of them yelled when they took the court together for the first time quickly spread among fans.
The three Los Angeles All-Stars won AMVP together, which also aroused heated discussion.
When I first saw that Li Ao won the AMVP with 15 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, even fans who watched the game felt that it was too much.
It is no secret that the alliance favors Li Ao.
But seeing the Eastern team's highest score of 17 points, Duncan got it.
O'Neal had 21 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks.
Kobe had 19 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals.
Looking at Li Ao's data again, it seems that it is really no worse than the OK combination.
Three people won the MVP together...don't ask, just ask and it's a classic!
Classic games, special ones are normal.
Stockton and Malone on the same team have won AMVP together, and O'Neal and Duncan on different teams have won AMVP together.
It is reasonable for three people from two different teams in the same team to win AMVP together!
However, the hottest topic after the game was not how strong the defensive five-man group in the Western Conference was, nor how classic the game was, nor how the three of them won the AMVP.
The Lakers refused to trade everyone except the OK group for the Grizzlies' second pick, and this matter was brought up again.
When major media reported on the All-Star game, they used photos of Shark standing in the middle, with an afro and Spider-Man on the left and right, and the three of them bulging their biceps at the same time.
In the first quarter, the Western team played the strongest defense in the history of the All-Star Game. Whether it was offense or defense, Kidd and Garnett were the starting pointers. The core was the Shark. The scoring puzzle and defensive spearhead were explosive heads, connecting the whole team. , is Spider-Man.
The media and experts agreed that if Kidd and Garnett were replaced by two ordinary club-level starters, although Kidd and Garnett would not be as good as when they started playing, they would have to go home with the basketball in their arms, but He can also beat the Eastern Conference team to a pulp.
The All-Stars participating in this year's competition also praised Li Ao's talent.
Especially the group of All-Stars in the Eastern Conference, who were beaten so badly, they had to find a way out.
They wished they could attribute all the credit for the Western Team's 33-13 defeat in a single quarter to Li Ao. If they weren't worried about being too outrageous and no one believed them, and being retaliated by the petty duo, they would all want to say that it was Spider-Man who led them. The two burdens, the weakling Afro and the good-for-nothing Fatty, fucked them up.
Other fans watched the game and saw the public opinion after the game, and they were having fun.
Lakers fans have already broken through the defense!
They thought that Spider-Man would be a good match for the OK combination, but they didn't expect that these three people would be so terrifying together.
And he’s just a rookie Spider-Man!
Wait for Spider-Man to practice like Kobe for two or three years...
A joyful All-Star carnival triggered a basketball riot in Los Angeles!
Lakers fans collectively broke the defense and angrily criticized the Lakers management.
After the All-Star game ended, thousands of people gathered outside the Staples Center and Toyota Center training facilities late at night to protest.
Clippers and Trojans fans fanning the flames...
…
The next evening, Li Ao, Vivian, Liam, and Liam's new girlfriend headed to San Francisco together.
Tomorrow, February 20, the Clippers will continue their 8th consecutive road trip and their next opponent will be the Warriors.
The Warriors happened to be in Oakland, next door to San Francisco, and Vivian decided to go and have a look. Liam's vacation hadn't ended yet, so she went with them.
On the plane, Vivian, who had taken Li Ao to stroll around the Yingjiang Imperial City during the day, fell asleep. After Li Ao helped the hospital assistant cover the blanket, he looked at the white clouds outside the window and turned on the system.
The achievement points in the upper right corner reached 51115 points.
After winning AMVP, the system will reward you with 20,000 achievement points.
He also completed his only achievement - winning AMVP in his rookie season, which rewarded him with a skill that fits his current ability to handle the ball.
"Lord of the High Position Level 1: The host launches an attack from a high position with his back, turning +2. If he chooses to turn around and shoot or step back to shoot, the host will have a bounce +2, and a mid-range shot +2."
This skill is very good. The hard bonus is not too low. The only drawback is that it requires him to be able to hit from behind to be useful. The stronger his back hit, the better the effect of these hard bonuses.
He was very happy to get the reward, but a task was triggered last night, which made him a little melancholy.
"Kicking Kindergarten:
Goal: During the 2002 All-Star Weekend, Host needs to lead the second-year team to defeat the rookie team in the All-Star Rookie Game and win the Rookie Game MVP.
Reward: Kick Kindergarten (level 1 skill). "
This task is really worrying.
Thinking of Gasol, Battier, Jason Richardson, Joe Johnson, Arenas in the 2001 class...
What magical tricks will they use to win in the 2000 class?
Look at the miserable situation they faced this time when they met the Class of 1999. With him included, the score difference might be even 10 points larger, and those people would definitely go berserk.
He doesn't care about games like the rookie game. This year, some people ridiculed him for avoiding games. However, after his good performance in the All-Star game, no one said this.
If there is only a gap between strength and teammates, then they can still give it a try, but look at their class, there is not even a serious point guard who can hold the ball. Martin Cleaves is the only point guard selected for the rookie team. , averaging 5.4 points and 2.7 assists per game so far this season.
By the time they reach the second grade, they may at most have more experience in the game, but that experience is no match for the talent gap.
This is not a matter of dispute, but participating is tantamount to seeking abuse.
I was ridiculed a few times by netizens. It was unpleasant to see it, so just don't watch it. It was really unpleasant to run to participate in it. It was a proper black history birth competition.
Unless Stern focuses on the rookie game early and understands the 'Challenge Game', it is a blind change.
But if the competition is reorganized, how should this task be calculated?
Let’s put this aside for now and let’s talk about next year’s rookie game next year.
If he improves by leaps and bounds and develops two more ball-handling skills, he might be able to break the game.
If it really doesn't work, just pretend that there is no such task.
You can also abuse a dish with strength, and there is no joy in bullying a dish like bullying an elder...
…
After staying in a hotel in San Francisco near Oakland for one night, Li Ao got up early the next day and met the team at the Oracle Arena in Oakland next door.
Gentry breathed a sigh of relief.
It's not that he's worried about Li Ao's professional attitude, but there are exceptions to everything.
Li Ao just won the AMVP and was praised so much, especially by Lakers fans and Time Warner. He was also about to appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated and have a signature shoe named after his nickname... ...Gentry put himself into Li Ao's perspective and felt that the whole world was surrounding him.
Gentry was somewhat worried.
When he took his team members to Oracle Arena to prepare for the game at 9:30, he saw that Li Ao was already sweating from training, and all those worries disappeared.
He came from San Francisco next door and had been training for so long. As the head coach, he just came here now, and he felt guilty.
work hard! Fighting to reach the playoffs!
In the Clippers' preparation training this morning, Gentry increased his intensity and played a 10-minute team training match. He was worried that the players had forgotten how to play the game after resting for the past eight days.
However, he found that he was worrying too much. They had just begun to rise, and the whole team had positive energy.
In addition, if you play well, you will get more playing time and have the possibility of starting. Everyone is competing.
And they are all thoughtful.
Big Q told Maggette that he was too busy during the All-Star Weekend. He had to play in the rookie game, participate in the three-point contest, and have an endorsement event, so he had no time to train.
As a result, Maggette happened to see Big Q practicing an extra three-pointer in the park near the hotel.
After scolding Pinkie Pie a few times, Maggette also rolled up.
The players performed well in training. Gentry praised the players at the end of the morning training and asked the players to have a good rest in the afternoon and recharge their batteries for the evening game.
At noon lunch time, Li Ao heard two pieces of news from Da Q.
One is that the Lakers agreed to the resignation application of the logo man.
At the beginning of the season, after Li Ao scored 40+ points against the Grizzlies in his second game, Lakers fans rioted and asked the Lakers to give an explanation. The man with the logo publicly expressed his resignation, and the fans' dissatisfaction was instantly calmed down. , and began to persuade him not to be impulsive.
But it didn't work this time. Logo Man and Buss did not try this trick again. With the push from Jenny Buss, Logo Man resigned from the position of general manager of the Lakers and was replaced by former assistant general manager Mitch Kupche. Gram took over.
When Li Ao heard about this, he sighed: "As expected of the Angel City Lakers."
"Huh? Boss, why do you seem to admire them so much? Shouldn't it be a pleasure to get revenge? You lost the opportunity to partner with OK! Everyone is saying that you are the most perfect trio!"
"I'm very happy to be partnered with you guys."
Li Ao did not deny the regret in his heart, but expressed his true feelings now.
Big Q was really moved this time, even more moved than when he got Brandi’s call.
But he still had a question: "Then why do you admire the Lakers, boss?"
"Even when they changed their general manager, it was like a movie and TV show. When you told me about their change of general manager, you didn't say 'Los Angeles Big Three' like when we first met in the morning. Pay attention. The focus is on the infighting between the son and daughter of the Lakers owner.
Not only did they calm down the turmoil, but they also made it more dramatic in the hearts of the fans, getting more attention and more topics for discussion... By the way, what is the second news? ? "
The more Da Q listened, the more he felt it made sense. Just when he was about to complain, "Capitalists are real dogs," the boss suddenly changed the topic, making him a little crazy.
But he still replied: "My agent told me that the Nets were selling Marbury and we wanted to trade him, but it failed."
"Your agent?"
"Marbury and I have the same agent."
"Oh...that's great. Replacing him would probably dismantle half of our team."
Big Q shook his head quickly: "That's not true. In the end, we rejected it. Our initial offer seemed to be Blevins, Kenyon, and a first-round pick."
Li Ao: (((;;)))
You really dare to quote any price!
He wanted to give Wally Walker a thumbs up.
Big Q continued: "The Nets did not hang up the phone directly like the Mavericks. They offered us back and wanted to add Jermaine or Lamar. We refused and wanted to add others, but they did not agree. Jermaine or Lamar, we hung up."
Li Ao nodded to express his understanding.
He is very courageous and clearly knows who can and cannot be traded. He admires this general manager quite a bit.
That's right, he feels like their team is a bit like a 'Los Angeles Promising Team'?
Is it really just one Knight + a first-round offer from the entire league?
…
Li Ao felt that Tianzun said well that he would be forgotten after playing in the All-Star Game.
The news about the Lakers has continued to be hot these days, but he deliberately did not pay attention to it and refused interviews. He did not want to be affected by the regret of not being able to partner with OK.
If he had any thoughts on this matter, it would be just one - become stronger! Become stronger!
The fact that he failed to go to the Lakers has become an eternal resentment among Lakers fans. It is the regret of the Lakers and Lakers fans, not his regret.
Thinking this way, his ambition to become stronger became even greater.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, the Clippers' fourth game in eight consecutive away games against the Warriors started.
The game was easy. In the first quarter, the Clippers led the Warriors, who were last in the Western Conference, 32-19.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Li Ao increased the number of singles.
Li Ao played 36 minutes tonight and played a total of 9 singles, setting a new record for his highest number of singles against a team other than the Bulls, which was 6 times before.
The score was 25 to 23 in the second and third quarters. By the time of the official timeout in the fourth quarter, the point difference was as wide as 21 points.
In the last few minutes, Jamison dared to fight hard and led the team to an 18-10 victory.
Relying on Li Ao's 25 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 4 blocks, Odom's 15 points and 8 assists, and Brevin Knight's 5 points and 8 assists, the Clippers defeated the Warriors 110-97 and scored 9 points. Winning streak!
Please vote for the last 3 days!
