56 to 51, the Clippers took a 5-point lead and took the initiative!
As calm as Kidd, he is now a little anxious. The ball was rushed on the offensive end. Marion received the ball and failed to get a shooting opportunity. He dribbled twice... and walked...
Kidd retreated in frustration. He could only be thankful that he was not intercepted and was not counterattacked by the group of young players on the opposite side.
When the Clippers attacked, Li Ao continued to run in and out. When he came to the right side of the three-second zone, he saw that the player guarding him had become Clifford Robinson. Seeing that his teammates had no chance, he was ready to give it a try.
When his teammates are fighting, he is also fighting.
What if I get in?
Seeing Li Ao relying on Clifford Robinson to ask for the ball, his teammates quickly adjusted their positions.
Matt Halprin went to the right baseline for two points, Big Q went to the left sideline, Chris Mihm went to the left side of the three-second zone to maintain the threat of eating, and Odom, who was on top of the arc, lobbed the ball to Li Ao.
"The host opponent player Clifford Robinson is 34 years old and meets the conditions for using the skill. It is triggered by punching the nursing home at level 3. Fixed bonuses: speed +2, strength +2, and bounce +2.
The host is in a singles offensive state, with +2 shooting from all directions, and a 15% probability of entering a hot state. "
Bullying mode is on!
Li Ao lowered his center of gravity and crashed into Clifford Robinson.
He had the advantage in strength, but he made Clifford Robinson take a big step back.
Li Ao turned over and took off, facing the best defensive level veteran who came back to take a mid-range shot...
15% chance of entering the soul with one shot, it feels hot in the hand!
The shooting space created by the back shot is sufficient, and the shooting movement is complete and smooth.
Hit!
Big Q, Odom, and Li Ao, the Clippers' three first- and second-year players took turns to fire, extending the lead to 7 points!
The score is 58 to 51!
Kidd, who retracted the inside guard, saw the ball fall into the frame and felt it was over.
The feeling I felt when I played against the Clippers for the first time at the beginning of the season came back. After such a young team took the initiative and showed momentum, it was difficult to suppress it.
That time, his team had an absolute strength advantage, but it successfully suppressed the opponent's momentum and came back to win.
But this time, things are completely different!
The opponent's strength is no longer weaker than theirs!
Looking at the energetic and energetic face on the other side, Kidd looked at himself and felt like an old man in his twilight years.
When he came to the Suns, he immediately turned this team that didn't even have a 50% winning rate after losing Barkley into a top team with 56 wins, and then welcomed Gugliotta and Anfernee Hardaway. As a teammate, I feel that I am about to reach the peak of my life.
As a result, his team not only failed to take a step forward, but instead declined day by day.
Compared with the opposing Clippers, who are on the rise, he feels that his team is heading towards the grave...
But he is only 27 years old!
…
After the Clippers went on a 7-0 run in 1 minute, the Suns launched a counterattack.
But the 7-point difference is too big for this game, like a chasm!
The best way to chase points is to defend and counterattack. At this time, the Suns, which are dominated by veterans, can no longer counterattack. Marion is being marked, and others cannot run away.
Another way is to shoot three-pointers, but unfortunately, the Suns' three-pointers are not as good as the Clippers'.
Their best three-point shooter is Clifford Robinson, who averages 1.1 three-pointers per game. The team averages only 4 three-pointers per game.
Kidd hates it so much! I hate who I was back then!
What kind of young man's personality is he playing? He went out of his way to prove that "I can become a superstar without shooting".
If you practice three-pointers well in the first two years, not to mention becoming a master of three-pointers in singles, you will at least have a stable three-pointer ability, instead of the current three-pointer performance of 29.9%.
When the time came to 10:23:16 in the evening, Li Ao saw an opportunity. Already exhausted, he squeezed out a bit of energy again, rushed from the right corner to a 45-degree angle on the right, and slapped the veteran shooting guard who came on the bench with one palm. Vinnie Negro's catch and three-pointer flew away!
The ball was kicked out of bounds by Li Ao, and the Suns still had the ball.
But the Suns players were desperate.
There were 23 seconds left in the game, 4 seconds left in the Suns' attack time, and the score was 69 to 73. The goal was scored, and it was still a bit of a run, but it was ironclad. What were they going to do in these 4 seconds?
besides……
8 of 24 shots, including 1 of 5 three-pointers, plus 4 of 6 free throws. The opposite Spider-Man has scored 21 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals and 10 blocks!
The game continued, Kidd caught the ball and faced Matt Halprin's defensive three-pointer...without touching it, O'Neal Jr. protected the defensive rebound and was fouled.
Although he only made one of two free throws when he got to the free throw line, it completely killed the game.
The Suns missed a three-pointer, and Li Ao got a career-high 14th rebound. The opponent did not foul again, and the time was less than 8 seconds.
Li Ao grabbed the ball with one hand and enjoyed the cheers of the fans at the scene.
When the final whistle sounded, Li Ao threw the ball into the air, and the fans cheered wildly again.
Li Ao also hugged and celebrated with his teammates excitedly.
Won!
They defeated the Suns, who had been suppressing them in the early and middle stages of the season, head-on!
They relied on their playoff style to defeat a truly top-notch team!
While they were celebrating, a TV station interview came, a post-match interview on the Imperial TV station.
Seeing Xiao Li Tanhua trying to drive away his teammates, and his teammates clinging to the camera, Xu Jicheng said in English: "Spider-Man, let's do the curtain call interview together."
Li Ao looked at his teammates with disgust, feeling very sad and angry - why are his teammates getting thicker and thicker?
Who taught his teammates who once felt ashamed to even train hard into this kind of virtue?
Xu Jicheng saw the Clippers' active team atmosphere and said with a smile: "Congratulations on winning 51 games and successfully achieving seventh place in the Western Conference. What are your expectations for the next playoffs?"
All the teammates' eyes were focused on Li Ao.
Li Ao was stubborn and didn't open his mouth, and his teammates moved their heads closer...
Li Ao bared his teeth and pushed his teammates away.
This atmosphere is so familiar...
He tried hard to restrain himself, but still couldn't hold it back...
"A new journey has begun! The giant ship Angel has officially set sail!"
…
At 8:30 the next morning, Li Ao's bedroom door was not closed tightly, and a head appeared in the crack of the door.
|ω`)|
Vivian looked at Leo rolling around in shame on the bed and tried not to laugh out loud.
The reason for shame is that when I was having breakfast just now, I saw the news footage broadcast on the TV in the living room. The words Li Ao blurted out during the post-match interview last night were repeatedly broadcast by various sports channels.
She was going to wait and ask if the dress she chose looked good. She couldn't let her Leo know that she saw the scene in front of her, otherwise she might not be able to see it in the future!
Li Ao rolled around for a while, but he still couldn't suppress his shame.
He regretted it so much. Why couldn't he control his second spirit at that moment?
Black history +1 again!
He turned on the system and looked at the large list of prompts after last night's game to divert his attention.
"Congratulations to the host for leading the team to the playoffs, ranking 7th in the Western Conference, reward: 24,000 achievement points; number of wins: 51 games, reward: 25,500 achievement points.
Note: 1. The basic reward for advancing to the playoffs is 20,000 achievement points, and for each place higher than the 8th place in the division, the bonus will be 20%; 2. For advancing to the playoffs, achievement points will be awarded according to the victory level, and each 40-win level A victory will reward 300 achievement points, each victory at level 50 will award 500 achievement points, and each victory at level 60 will award 1,000 achievement points. "
Looking at the 'note' at the back, Li Ao curiously asked in his mind.
"If a player advances to the playoffs but does not win 41 games, the season will be settled as if he did not advance to the playoffs. Each win will be worth 100 achievement points."
Well, Li Ao was still thinking about what would happen if he was a Celtics player and entered the playoffs with 36 wins. The system would just treat him as if he didn't enter the playoffs, which would be... normal.
He also feels that the 39-win Hornets and 36-win Celtics are not real playoff teams.
But a team that makes the playoffs does not necessarily have to be a playoff-level team. Four years ago, in the 1996-1997 season, the Clippers also ranked eighth in the Western Conference with a record of 36 wins and 46 losses. Postgame.
In the early 1980s, when the playoffs expanded to 16 teams, it was even more common to win more than 30 games to enter the playoffs. In the season when Jordan scored 63 points in a single game in the playoffs, the Bulls had a record of 30 wins and 52 losses, eighth in the Eastern Conference. .
"Sprint, surpass:
The host has led the team to a record of 51 wins and 31 losses this season, which has created the best record in team history. Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: 1 level 4 skill upgrade card and 1 advanced attribute point.
The host has led the team to the playoffs. Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: 10,000 achievement points, 1 level 3 skill upgrade card, and 1 gold level equipment upgrade card. "
"genius:
The host blocked 285 shots this season and played 75 times. He averaged 3.8 blocks per game and won the block title.
The host has scored a total of 1,898 points this season, played 75 times, and averaged 25.3 points per game.
Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: Hat Chaser (Level 5)
Hat chasing expert level 5:
1. During the transition between offense and defense, when chasing or defending a player who cuts inside to catch the ball and attack the frame, the speed is +3. If the host attempts to block a shot, the bounce is +3, and the sense of blocking is improved.
2. When preventing counterattacks, if the opponent moves quickly, the host will use it as a pursuit target, and its speed will be +5. When it is used as a target to try to block a shot, its bounce will be +5, and its sense of blocking will be greatly improved.
3. In each offensive round after chasing and blocking, the host can more easily find the feeling of shooting. "
Get started with the fully-leveled defensive skills and win!
Although it can only take effect during defensive transitions and counterattacks, this powerful hard bonus does not require a bicycle.
He began to look forward to a certain rookie entering the NBA. Those two are very good at counterattack...
A gold-level equipment upgrade card, he has two silver-level skills, 'Card Master's Bracelet' and 'Tracy's Elbow Pads'.
He chose to upgrade the latter, as the former was not needed in his style of play.
"Tracy's elbow pads (gold): When taking off to shoot without dribbling, the bounce is +2, which reduces the shooting impact caused by pre-shooting movements, improves core strength, and speeds up adaptive shooting by 10%."
The 'slightly' prefix for core strength improvement is gone, and there is also an increase in shooting speed, which is very good.
Your catching and shooting ability continues to improve!
That’s right, a dry pull-related equipment was used as a catch-and-shoot equipment... emmm...
For advanced attribute points, he chose acceleration without hesitation, raising the speed to 93, and the starting point was also raised to 91.
Only the skill upgrade card is left, plus the level 5 skill upgrade card he got before, he has all the upgrade cards for levels 3-5.
This is a bit confusing.
You can choose to directly upgrade a level 2 skill to full, or you can upgrade a level 3 skill to full first.
You can even draw a level 2 skill upgrade card to bring the level 1 skill directly to level 5.
Li Ao calmed down his excitement and focused on the present.
The opponent in the playoffs is the Mavericks, a young team.
He took out the Mavericks' scouting report from the coaching staff after last night's game from his bag.
The oldest member of the Mavericks' core lineup is only 28 years old, including Bradley, Finley, and Juwan Howard.
Nowitzki is not yet 23 years old, and Nash has just turned 27.
Level 3 'punch nursing home' crossed out.
The level 1 'Lord of High Position' is a skill that he really wants to upgrade, but his back-up ability is not enough, so there is no need to upgrade it to the full level for the time being.
Level 3 'Shark' is enough for the time being.
Then there are only the offensive 'stop' and the defensive 'siege' and 'heavy pressure', which are all level 3 skills.
Shooting, shrinking defense, and single defense, all three can help his current style of play, and they are all what he is good at.
He opened the system and searched for data from the four games against the Mavericks.
The first time they met, they scored 100 points. The second time they met, they scored 105 points. The third time they met, they scored 103 points. They lost both times and couldn't defend them.
They won the last meeting and didn't defend it. The Mavericks scored 115 points.
This is an opponent with top-notch offense and top-notch defense.
The function of skills is based on the increase in his own strength, which only allows him to do what he can do better.
He has made a decision!
Use the level 4 and 5 upgrade cards to upgrade 'Suspend' to full level!
"Abort Level 5:
1. When making a mid-range pull-up jump shot or a catch-and-stop jump shot, the basic pull-up skill +5 and the pull-up skill +5;
2. Significantly reduce the impact of shooting caused by emergency stops;
3. When making an emergency stop to shoot, the host's core strength is greatly enhanced;
4. If the opponent is completely shaken off by an emergency stop, the mid-range shot will be +3. "
After using the upgrade card, the tangled feeling disappeared immediately.
There is 1 level 3 skill upgrade card left.
Li Ao looked at the achievement points, 145255.
There is also a mission 'Best Rookie' that has not been completed, with a total reward of 32,000 achievement points.
The achievement points Xia Tian wants to use are enough.
Start pumping!
After spending 18,000 achievement points, he got 3 level 2 skill upgrade card fragments. With good luck, he also got 1 basic attribute point, which he immediately used on his explosive power, raising his explosive power from 88 to 89.
Both strength and explosive power have reached 89. He is considering whether to try to gain weight in the summer. His speed has increased to 93. He can do something about it...
He used the newly synthesized level 2 skill upgrade cards and the remaining level 3 skill upgrade cards on the 'High Lord'.
It is not necessary to upgrade to the full level for the time being, but it is still possible to upgrade to two levels. After all, it is the only offensive skill with the ball.
"High Lord Level 3:
1. The host launches an attack from a high position with his back, turning +3, turning over +3.
2. If you choose to turn around and shoot or step back to shoot, the jump will be +2 and the mid-range shot will be +2.
3. If the host chooses to attack the frame, layup +2. "
After turning off the system, Li Ao is still very excited now. He is about to play in the playoffs, and he has the same feeling as before last year.
I train hard every day, learn from my teammates and opponents during games, and upgrade my skills and equipment to complete tasks.
He is ready for the upcoming playoffs!
