As Li Ao analyzed, Ray Allen can play without the ball, but he is not used to it and does not like to play without the ball for a long time.
He is one of Jordan's successors! Top all-around defender!
His competitors in his mind are Iverson, Kobe Bryant, and Carter.
There is a fundamental difference between the reason why Ray Allen chose to play without the ball at the beginning and the reason why Li Ao chose to attack with the ball.
Li Ao chose to play from behind because it was easier to play the big dog alone than to play without the ball.
This is what he is good at, and he can switch back to playing without the ball at any time, and the Bucks' defense cannot guard him.
But Ray Allen chose to play without the ball because his attack with the ball was severely limited by Li Ao in the last match. With O'Neal under the basket, Li Ao only had to guard against mid-range and long-range shots, and Ray Allen beat Li Ao from mid-range and long-range. Too bad.
Coupled with the fact that George Karl wanted to make changes on the offensive end and interfere with the Clippers' defensive plan, Ray Allen chose to play without the ball.
The reluctance deep in his heart affected his playing style tonight.
When he felt hot and scored 14 points efficiently in the first quarter, he began to dislike his teammates' receiving shots and began to play in isolation with the ball.
When he feels good, he can still make a strong shot even if he can't get rid of Li Ao's single defense interference.
But after his hands felt cold, the problem came. He played even harder than the last time he played against Li Ao!
That time, he will be more patient and look for better shooting opportunities. If it doesn't work, he will just stop shooting.
But tonight he scored 9 points in singles and defeated Li Ao in the second quarter. In the third quarter, he was very confident when he singled out Li Ao. He threw directly in the face of interference. Without the hot touch, you can imagine the results of this style of play. And know.
In the final quarter, Ray Allen was in chaos!
He plays without the ball, and when his teammates get opportunities but fail to make a shot, he eagerly takes the initiative to ask for the ball in singles. When he fails to score in singles, he wants to move to catch the ball and shoot...
He was a mess, and the rest of the Bucks were affected as well.
How to play this combination? The leading scorer changed his attack method every round, and his teammates really didn't know how to cooperate.
They tried to put the offense back together in the fourth quarter and widen the point difference again, but they were in a mess.
On the other side, the Clippers' offense maintained the stability of the first three quarters. They took the initiative and calmly cooperated with the offense.
When faced with the big dog's defense, Li Ao continued to play from behind, and when Ray Allen defended, he played without the ball. The switching of playing styles was extremely smooth.
At 3 minutes and 06 seconds, Li Ao cut inside to catch the ball, and Tim Thomas defended in place and stayed close.
Li Ao jumped up on the spot, knocked away the defensive Tim Thomas, and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand.
Sharks are raging!
The last quarter started 8-4, the Clippers tied the score, 100-100, and the Bucks called a timeout!
George Karl called a timeout very timely, but he made only one adjustment-Casel's attack.
Poor key adaptability is a long-standing problem of George Karl. Especially after being caught up after a big lead, he is very easy to panic. Therefore, he became the head coach who was dismissed the most times in the first round. In 1994, he was defeated in the eighth round. His 'masterpiece'.
After returning from the timeout, Cassel has strong ability to withstand pressure. When the team was in chaos, he played fiercely in singles and actively directed his teammates to move. He scored 8 points and 3 assists during this period, showing his key ball ability. .
Under his leadership, the Bucks made 8 of 19 shots in the next 9 minutes, plus 4 of 4 free throws, scoring 20 points.
Compared with the performance of 1 of 4 shots and 2 of 2 free throws in the first 3 minutes to score 4 points, it was much better.
However, 24 points in a single quarter is equivalent to a collapse of the offense for this game!
The opposing Clippers made 10 of 18 shots during this period, 3 of which were three-pointers. Plus 5 of 6 free throws, they scored 28 points!
At 9:26 pm, with 3 seconds left, Li Ao's super-long shot from the backcourt failed to touch, and the final whistle sounded.
Ray Allen played 44 minutes tonight and made 14 of 29 shots, including 4 of 10 three-pointers, plus 9 of 9 free throws. He scored 41 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals.
40+ points in a single game for the fifth time in his career, but not the highest score in the game...
Cassell had 26 points and 11 assists.
Big Dog's performance was amazing. His scoring must be mentioned with the defensive characteristics of Maggette and Big Q.
Both of them are the type to do whatever they are asked to do, and rarely respond independently. This is a flaw in their defense. Such a flaw is destined to make it difficult to become a first-class defensive master, but it will be very useful at certain moments.
For example, tonight, during the 11 minutes in the second half of the third quarter and the first half of the fourth quarter, the offensive end stood waiting for an open space to catch and shoot, and just watched if there was no open space.
When Maggette and Big Q took turns guarding the big dog alone, they stood still with the big dog and did not give the big dog a chance to catch and shoot. However, no matter how the rest of the Bucks played offensively, the two of them did not care.
As a result, Big Dog scored 21 points in the first 26 minutes of playing time. After playing 37 minutes and being replaced by Jerome Corsi in the middle of the final quarter, the score was still 21 points.
For the Clippers, Odom scored 13 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists, Greg Anthony scored 8 points and 6 assists tonight, Maggette scored the Clippers' second-highest score of 26 points and 4 assists, O'Neal Jr. 18 points and 11 rebounds.
Li Ao scored 14 points in the first quarter, 10 points in the second quarter, 11 points in the third quarter, and 17 points in the final quarter. He made 18 of 33 shots, including 4 of 9 three-pointers, plus 12 of 12 free throws. He scored 52 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists. 2 steals and 2 blocks!
Li Ao scored 52 points in a single game and led the Clippers to reverse the Bucks 128-120!
Seeing that Li Ao missed a long three-pointer at the buzzer, Li Ao's balls hurt. He finally made four three-pointers with a 50% shooting rate, and then stopped again.
Also, the highest score in a single game this season is 54 points...
But when I saw my teammates surrounding me with excitement and heard the fans cheering wildly, none of that mattered anymore!
They won their 46th win of the season! Refresh the best record in team history!
Moreover, the task he received halfway through the third quarter was also completed!
"Rephijo:
Optional goal 1: The host must score higher than Ray Allen in this game.
Optional goal 2: The host must hit more three-pointers than Ray Allen in this game.
Goal: The host needs to lead the team to reverse the Bucks and win the game.
The host has completed optional goal 1 and the basic goal. Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: 5000 achievement points. "
In terms of scoring and three-pointers, any one can surpass Ray Allen. In fact, Li Ao didn't think about goal 2 at all. He just threw it when it was empty and didn't pull it down. His three-pointers were determined to shoot when he was given a chance, and he didn't force it if he was not given a chance. .
When the opponent called a timeout for the last time, he discovered that he had made as many three-pointers as Ray Allen.
It was purely because the opponent was too tough in the second half, making all four three-pointers.
That was one of the reasons why he threw that ball at the end.
Li Ao celebrated with his teammates, and the post-match interview came.
Just as the reporter was about to ask a question, his teammates swarmed behind Li Ao.
Big Q pushed Li Ao away, and Angry Spider wanted to push Big Q back online... but silently squeezed into his teammates.
Big Q squeezed Li Ao away and shouted: "Sail! Set sail! Target the playoffs!"
The teammates shouted: "Sail! Set sail!"
Li Ao couldn't help shouting along, but this time he was hiding among his teammates. He didn't want to be the C position anymore after seeing this shameful scene in the second grade!
…
The players of the NCAA champion Duke Blue Devils have gone into scolding mode. Just 24 hours after they won the championship, the limelight was stolen!
In the national live broadcast, the Clippers and Bucks staged a scoring battle, and Spider-Man scored 50+ again!
This is Li Ao's second time this season with 50+ points in a single game, and he is still a rookie!
Prior to this, only Wilt Chamberlain in NBA history could score 50 points or more in a single game twice in his rookie season. Now, this record is no longer unique!
In addition, the Clippers refreshed the best record in team history, and the Clippers' slogan of 'Set Sail' resounded throughout the basketball world.
The accompanying video...Li Ao successfully avoided the C position during the post-match interview.
But that picture was not used, but the picture of him yelling "Sail" at the beginning of the fourth quarter and taking four teammates on the court.
He forgot that there was a camera watching him throughout every game...
Li Ao once again scored 50+ points in a single game, which actually had little impact on NBA stars. Iverson's 50 points in a single game had already been surpassed by Li Ao. Even if he came one more time, not many people would associate it with Iverson. It is compared with the basketball emperor Chamberlain.
Debate about who is greater, Li Ao's 50+ points in two games and Chamberlain's 58 points in two games, what is the gold content, etc.
The one who is more affected is the NCAA champion Duke Blue Devils, who are theoretically unbeatable.
This year's crazy three finals, because the game is too no suspense, the popularity cannot be compared with the legendary performance of the Trojans last year.
Coincidentally, Li Ao is a member of the Trojans team known as the NCAA's legendary team.
It just so happened that Li Ao was soaring points in the NBA in the days before and after the crazy three finals.
The hottest topic--With Li Ao not entering the NBA, can the Duke Blue Devils still win the championship this year?
Most people discussing this topic think not.
Basketball fans from Michigan State University, University of Florida, University of North Carolina, University of Arizona...including Purdue University all believe that if Li Ao does not enter the NBA, the Trojans will start a dynasty mode and replace the Bruins as the representative of college basketball.
The Duke Blue Devils players were furious when they saw these remarks!
Are these assholes praising the Trojans? no! They are promoting the team they support!
By the way, let’s take a look at UCLA, which has won the most championships in the last century.
Li Ao's 50+ points in a single game this time has caught the attention of the NCAA's crazy three, and his influence is much greater than it should have been.
There is another hot topic - Li Ao has made 69 three-pointers this season, averaging exactly one three-pointer per game.
This year's rookies currently have three players averaging one three-pointer per game, the Magic's Mike Miller, the Clippers' Big Q, and Li Ao.
It’s just the hit rate...
Big Q shot 36.8% from three-point range and averaged 1.2 three-pointers per game, which was quite satisfactory.
After Mike Miller adapted to the NBA three-point line, his shooting rate has soared from around 30%. He is currently averaging two three-pointers per game with a 42% three-point shooting rate, directly ranking among the top three-pointers in the league today.
Li Ao made 224 three-pointers this season, scoring 69 with a shooting percentage of 30.8%.
This hit rate is lower than many people thought. They always thought that Li Ao's shooting seemed to be okay, but they didn't expect it to be so low. Without this time, 4 of 9, it was not even 30%.
Some curious fans listed Li Ao's three-point shots and hits in each game this season and discovered the reason.
Li Ao often has games where he fails to hit a three-pointer. It's not that he didn't make a shot, but he missed one or two shots. At most, he missed three consecutive shots and stopped shooting.
This is in line with the impression of fans who are familiar with Li Ao.
During the All-Star Weekend, some experts analyzed Li Ao's playing style and said that he is very smart. Wherever he can shoot accurately, he should try to shoot in that area. Where the shot is inaccurate, he should run less to that area to avoid being affected by short selling. Teammate's offense.
But this style of play has a great impact on the hit rate.
Fans counted the games in which Li Ao made three-pointers but made zero hits, and there were actually as many as 25 games!
Ever since, a strange situation occurred.
Originally, the media hyped that Li Ao's three-point shooting percentage was only 30%. They wanted to blackmail Li Ao. There were so many media touting his two 50+ points in a single game during his rookie season. These media wanted to take another track.
Unexpectedly, Li Ao's 30% three-point shooting percentage was actually praised!
In this regard, this part of the media... is quite happy, anyway, the traffic is just right.
A piece of news - on April 5th and April 6th, the Grizzlies played the Suns and Lakers back-to-back away from home. Kidd and Kobe took turns to get a triple-double in the game against the Grizzlies.
Kidd surpassed Odom with 8 triple-doubles, and Kobe filled the gap where no one on the Lakers had a triple-double except O'Neal...
…
When Li Ao's second 50+-related topic in a single game reached its climax, they had already started another round of alternating away and home games non-stop.
At 7:30 pm on the 7th, the Clippers' away game against the Jazz started.
It was too easy to score against the Bucks, which had an impact on the Clippers, which was dominated by young players.
The Clippers only scored 18 points in the first quarter, and only 17 points in the second quarter, with many taken-for-granted runs and shots.
The Clippers' defense ranks in the second tier this season, seventh in the league. There are 5 truly strong teams in the first tier, and the Jazz are one of them.
Not only the offense, but also the defense was loose. The Jazz scored 27 points in the first quarter and 28 points in the second quarter.
After halftime, the Jazz led the Clippers by 20 points, 55-35.
The Clippers' offense tightened up in the third quarter, scoring 24 points in a single quarter, but the defense was still not good enough, and the Jazz scored 25 points.
Trailing by 21 points in the third quarter, Gentry gave up decisively and the game entered garbage time.
Feeling Spider-Man's gaze, Gentry lamented the 'genius' competitive spirit' and continued to send Li Ao.
Originally, he didn't plan to send Blevins Knight. He wanted to use Boykins so as not to affect Li Ao's post-up practice.
But Li Ao took the initiative to partner with Blevins Knight, and Gentry chose to agree.
In the last quarter, Li Ao started to play without the ball against talented high school student DeShawn Stevenson, taking advantage of Brevin Knight's sudden score to find scoring opportunities.
Although he is a high school rookie, Deshawn Stevenson is older than Li Ao and turned 20 a few days ago.
He is 196 centimeters tall and weighs 99 kilograms. He is fast, powerful, and good at jumping... Li Ao feels that these high school rookies are like animals, and none of them are worse in physical fitness.
Hitting this person from behind will affect... affect chasing points!
