On April 4th, the NBA suspended play for one day, and the final day of the NCAA Basketball Championship arrived.
Even on this day, Li Ao still grabbed some shots.
He scored 40+ in two consecutive games!
Some media are deliberately linking this to the NBA Finals - if Spider-Man does not enter the NBA, this will be another year when Spider-Man dominates college basketball.
Spider-Man just scored 40 points twice just 3 days before the Crazy 3 finals. What is this if not a 'Crazy 3 player'?
Of course, some people came out to refute - Spider-Man lost one of two games with 40+ points.
Someone immediately stood up and said - in the NBA, it is normal for rookies to lose, and other rookies also lose. Why can't they get two consecutive 40+ games?
There are still people surrounding Ai to save Li - the answer was 40+ points in 5 consecutive games during his rookie season, and he lost all of them.
Iverson heard that the fans were quarreling because of him, so he went to pay attention...(▼ヘ▼#)
If you want to discuss Spider-Man losing by 40 points, then have a good discussion. Why are you talking about his answer?
Iverson's shot was inexplicable.
Li Ao returned to Los Angeles and continued training for an afternoon.
After dinner, Li Ao and the hospital assistant aunt watched the live broadcast of the Crazy Three Finals.
The Trojans stopped in the Final Four this season, defeating the Wildcats 87-81 in 8 games, and lost to the Duke Blue Devils 74-95 in the Final Four.
The Duke Blue Devils and Michigan Spartans meet in the finals.
After watching for a while, Li Ao concluded that the Spartans were gone.
Duke is too strong, and Duke's lineup this year is outrageous.
Sophomore Jay Williams, the No. 3 high school student in the country in 1999, has made great progress compared to his freshman season, averaging 21.6 points and 6.3 assists per game. Before Battier graduated from college, he became the new Duke Blue Devils. The leading star.
In addition to these two people, the Duke Blue Devils also have Carlos Boozer, Chris Duhon, and Mike Dunleavy.
He didn't have time to watch the previous games. He only knew that his old teammates had achieved good results in the top four.
The result of the game was as unsuspicious as Li Ao thought. The Duke Blue Devils defeated the Michigan Spartans 80-61 and won the championship trophy.
After watching the finals, Li Ao returned to the room and took out his notebook and read 82/304, 2/9 written on it.
He spread his hands, not knowing whether to laugh or not.
41 points in two consecutive games, and the progress towards averaging 25 points per game has been accelerated a lot.
With 7 games left, if you score 222 points, you will average 25 points per game.
During garbage time last night, he was very confused. In the end, he spread his hands and looked for an opportunity to rush!
The iron cloth shirt magic skill on the face has improved to another level.
He first took back his open hand.
In the last seven games, the first goal must be to reach the playoffs, that is, winning is the first consideration.
Currently, they have 45 wins and 30 losses, temporarily leading the 44 wins and 31 losses of the Sonics, but the situation is still unclear. They may be one game short of winning in the end, and they may even have to compete with the division, division, home record, etc.
And, if I may...the Timberwolves are 47-29...
You can try to be more proactive in your pitching, but spreading your hands can only ensure victory or you really can't beat them.
As for Blevins Knight's resentful eyes... Let Spider-Man take the blame for his willingness to fight in garbage time.
…
The next day, Li Ao reduced his extra practice time and only practiced running mid-range shots for an hour after lunch time. The freed time was used to study tonight's opponent.
At 6:40 in the evening, after Li Ao completed his 'perfect warm-up', he came to the player's tunnel and looked at the Bucks who entered the stadium first.
Cassell, Ray Allen, Big Dog, this super combination can average 63 points per game...
Another stressful game!
The opponent was one of the best-performing teams after the All-Star break. In late February, in 6 games in 9 days, the opponent had 5 wins and 1 loss. Cassell took this opportunity to win the second best of the week in his career.
In the next 17 games, the Bucks had 10 wins and 7 losses.
Before the All-Star Weekend, the Bucks, who had 29 wins and 23 losses, were suppressed by the Heat and ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference. However, with this wave of 15 wins and 8 losses, they have surpassed the 42 wins and 34 losses with a record of 44 wins and 31 losses. Hot fire team.
The Heat have lost the possibility of hitting 50 wins, but the Bucks have!
Putting aside the Bucks' outstanding performance after the All-Star Weekend, Li Ao is also very wary of this opponent. In mid-January, the Clippers played against the Bucks once. He scored 27 points and 8 assists, leading the team to 101. points, but the opponent scored 122 points...
But Odom was injured that time.
Now they have an offensive core who averaged 14.5 points, 8 rebounds, 7.9 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.1 blocks in 62 games!
Li Ao looked at Matt Halprin. He didn't expect Odom to be so afraid of this muscular man.
This teammate came so well, not only bringing him the mid-range partner on the wing he needs, but he can also suppress Odom.
After the visiting team players finished playing, the spotlight moved to the tunnel of the home team players, and fanatical cheers erupted from the scene.
Li Ao put away his distracting thoughts and was the first to enter the stadium.
The atmosphere at the venue was particularly noisy tonight, and the fans were extremely excited.
He knew why - he couldn't wait to set the best record in franchise history.
He wants it too!
After Odom was the last one to appear and the lights came on, Li Ao devoted himself to the pre-game preparations, communicating with his starting teammates about the starting style and hot shots.
At 6:58, the pre-match preparation period ended and the two teams started.
The Clippers adjusted their starting lineup tonight. Greg Anthony, Li Ao, Maggette, Odom, and O'Neal Jr. started.
The Bucks sent out a starting lineup of Cassell, Ray Allen, Glenn Robinson, Jason Caffey, and Scott Williams.
Li Ao took a look at the opposing lineup. The two insiders on the opposite side were both blue-collar workers. Jason Caffey was the inside substitute for the Bulls' second dynasty, and Scott Williams was the inside substitute for the Bulls' first dynasty. They were both good at doing dirty work. They are both live and experienced in the game, know how to cooperate with the stars, play diligently and never steal the show, so the two of them are capable of starting the starting lineup over Tim Thomas, who averages 12 points and 2.1 assists per game.
The Alien averaged 18.6 points and 8.8 assists per game this season. He is a master of court control, top-notch offensive organizer, not very good in individual defense, but excellent in assist defense.
Big dog, a first-line scorer who averages 22 points per game in any game.
Finally, Li Ao focused on Ray Allen.
"Ray Allen, 25 years old, 196 cm, 93 kg, comprehensive evaluation 91... averaged 22 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.5 steals per game... 43.3% three-point shooting rate, 41% long two-point shooting rate, mid-range shot The shooting rate was 41.8%, the short-range shooting rate was 42%, and the basket shooting rate was 63%..."
The Bucks' strongest player, a top star with comprehensive scoring methods and full coverage of the scoring area, is also the star they are most likely to restrict among the three Musketeers.
Unfortunately, the one who can limit this top player is Spider-Man.
In the last meeting, he defended Ray Allen, making 8 of 22 shots and 2 of 6 three-pointers.
At 7pm, the game starts!
O'Neal beat Scott Williams on a jump ball and the Clippers struck first.
The fast break didn't come out, so Odom didn't worry, passed the ball to Greg Anthony, advanced steadily, and had a high success rate in the ground battle.
After Greg Anthony arrived in the frontcourt, Maggette actively cut inside. Ray Allen blocked the defense, and Maggette took the initiative to find a confrontation.
Li Ao cheered for Maggette in his heart for one second, and then seized the opportunity to go to the high position on the right side of the free throw line, relying on the big dog to catch the ball, and when collecting the ball, he followed the trend of O'Neal and bumped into him.
The big dog was very strong. He was only knocked back a few centimeters and stabilized his center of gravity.
After Li Ao took a step forward, he stepped forward with his right foot, and the big dog immediately pressed on him.
When Li Ao landed with his right foot, he turned left, swatted the ball to the back left, withstood the pressure from the big dog, turned around, took two steps forward, stopped suddenly, jumped, and shot the mid-range shot... hit!
He is right-handed, how can he step out with his right foot when turning over for a jump shot? - Ray Allen, who saw Li Ao's entire post-up play, cursed, pursed his lips, said nothing, and ran forward.
He has long been accustomed to Big Dog's poor defense, but tonight's starting matchup between the two teams can only let Big Dog defend Big Spider and Big Dog guard Maggette. He couldn't imagine how pitiful the inside line would be.
The big spider just turned around and charged in. The big dog that was passed by didn't even make a move to chase him. He watched the big spider stop and hit a jumper.
Coming to the frontcourt, Ray Allen devoted himself to the offense.
On the defensive end, he has become desperate, averaging 98.5 points per game, the fifth-worst defense in the league.
But they averaged 103.2 points per game in 75 games, ranking first in the league in offensive firepower!
When the Bucks attacked, Cassel broke through Greg Anthony from the top of the arc.
Cassel's speed is not fast and seems slow, but the change of rhythm is excellent. The speed of the sideways movement during the change of direction is so fast that Greg Anthony can't even defend the middle!
Cassel burst into the paint from the front of the basket, and was covered by the defending Odom when he took one step inside the free throw line. Cassel split the ball to the wing...
Ray Allen used a Jason Caffey screen to catch the ball and hit a long two-point shot...hit!
Ray Allen raised his neck at the rookie Spider while retreating.
This rookie is so bold in his defense!
Leaning towards the man on the pick-and-roll, turning his back around the pick-and-roll to pursue the player without the ball. This was the first time Ray Allen saw this action when he played against Li Ao last time.
This does not matter at all the defensive method of the pick-and-roll executor. Ray Allen, who was prevented from shooting 8 of 22 in the last match, was a little proud after the game. The Spider's defensive attitude towards Kobe and Carter is nothing more than this, right?
Mainly because of winning.
And this time, in addition to wanting to win the game, Ray Allen also wanted to defeat the rookie Spider!
Since you can't get rid of the big spider's pursuit even if you use the screen, then don't get rid of it, seize the opportunity and shoot directly!
When the Clippers attacked, Li Ao continued to hit the ball from the high position.
Odom went to the baseline in a hurry, preparing to move without the ball.
The boss can finally help him share the pressure of holding the ball and attacking. It's not easy!
Li Ao experienced Big Dog's defense firsthand in the last round. This time he played more freely. He relied on Big Dog to dribble and made a fake move of turning around and rushing forward. Big Dog immediately took a step away.
Li Ao did not rush forward, turned around, collected the ball, took off, and took a mid-range shot...
Hit again!
Immediately afterwards, Ray Allen borrowed a pass from Jason Caffey from the free throw line, turned around and shot quickly in the mid-range shot. Li Ao circled the pile to chase and stretched out his hand a beat later, and Ray Allen hit the mid-range shot again!
4 to 4 draw!
When it was time for the Clippers to attack again, Li Ao continued to play from the high post.
It’s such an easy point to hit, so of course you have to hit it hard.
The Big Dog's defense was very attitude-I only took one shot.
In the first round, Li Ao turned around and charged forward, but Big Dog moved away to defend against the attack. Just now, Li Ao turned around and made a shot, but this time he stuck to it.
Adaptation and stuff, that's the job of role players, and he's a superstar.
Li Ao, who was fully prepared for the game, knew this about Big Dog. After receiving the ball, he turned around and broke through. Big Dog's teammates also knew him well and expanded inside to cover the defense in advance.
Li Ao scores the ball!
Odom pulled the ball to the left side of the three-second zone and passed the ball. O'Neal Jr. made a layup and scored two points!
Odom easily got the assist and was very happy - please continue to improve, boss!
Recently, Li Ao has been attacking from the high post more frequently, and Odom has more opportunities to enjoy the joy of transition support.
In the transition between offense and defense, Ray Allen scored two goals in a row. This time Odom chose to follow Jason Caffey, who was helping Ray Allen pick and roll.
Cassell saw the changes in the opponent's inside movement, and his steps suddenly accelerated when he broke through. After easily passing Greg Anthony, he made an emergency stop and hit a long two-pointer!
In the mid-range shooting, Cassel is the strongest of the Bucks!
47% mid-range shooting rate, averaging 2.9 goals per game, 50% long two-point shooting rate, averaging 2 goals per game!
When the Clippers attacked, Li Ao came to the frontcourt and saw that the defender turned into Ray Allen!
He continued to come to the right side of the free throw line to lean against the opponent, but this time he did not ask for the ball for a single.
Ray Allen's defense is much better than that of Big Dog, and his height and weight are also very good. His back-up ability is just on the edge of a good level. Li Ao is very cautious... mainly because he has a better starting point for offense.
There was no need for Li Ao to direct. Although he was in the post-playing position, Greg Anthony saw Ray Allen and Big Dog switching defenses and immediately motioned for Maggette to come up and catch the ball.
Maggette caught the ball on the left side of the top arc, waited for Greg Anthony to stretch to the left sideline, and broke through!
It was simple and crude, just one step, and Maggette rushed forward directly.
The big dog nudged him, and it hurt him so much that he backed away.
The Bucks players have rich experience in partnering with Big Dog. Whoever Big Dog defends, they move their steps in advance to prepare for defense.
Maggette rushed to the left side of the three-second zone and was blocked by Jason Caffey. He passed the ball from a close distance to the left baseline. Odom was a little confused. With such a big gap, he had to take a step into the three-second zone to attack the frame. , or a step-back mid-range shot... Seeing a cutting figure, he quickly concentrated on shooting the ball...
Li Ao turned his back from the high post and went around Ray Allen to cut in. Ray Allen was turned by Li Ao's elbow and secretly cursed, "Los Angeles players are all silver coins." He tried to catch up, but he was not faster than Li Ao. Can catch up.
Li Ao caught the ball at close range and took a step to the sideline of the three-second zone just inside the right baseline. Scott Williams had already moved ahead, but as soon as he reached Li Ao, Li Ao had already hooked the ball toward the baseline. ...Hit!
Ray Allen, who was chasing behind him, moved his mouth twice but did not curse.
This hook is too fast! His movements are ugly, like the old man in the park...
When the Bucks attacked, Odom gave up helping Li Ao defend against Thunder Allen and focused on helping defend Cassell and guarding against big dog cuts.
Ray Allen was hit, and he actively moved, received Cassel's pass, and scored two points!
The team score is 8-8! Ray Allen's personal score also tied with Li Ao, both scored 6 points!
Ray Allen made the shot, and the fans at the scene started chanting "Spider-Man GOGOGO"!
