From sparring to superstar

Chapter 256 254. Strong Mentality (6500 words)
As the game continued, something that Adelman couldn't believe really happened. The opponent chose to use offense to confront them!
Gentry chose to sacrifice part of his defense and use Li Ao to defend the Kings' weakest outside offensive role.

When White Chocolate was resting off the court and Doug Christie's tactical status declined, Li Ao went to defend Doug Christie.

When White Chocolate came on the court to distribute the ball to meet the shot and set the pass, Li Ao went to defend White Chocolate.

On the offensive end of the Clippers, the whole team runs and passes around Li Ao's scoring and support.

When Li Ao got tired, Bibby, Jordan, and Odom would play for a while. Whoever was on the court would play the game. Without any tactics, they would play singles to reduce Li Ao's unnecessary movements.

After Gentry adjusted his style of play, Li Ao called it the goat tactic.

When the teammates heard the name of this tactic, they looked at Jordan in unison—has the goats ever played like this?
Jordan is angry again, this big spider is ambitious, he just appreciates it, but can he not be so obvious!His goat Benshan is still nearby!

Facing the strategy of the Clippers, Adelman didn't try to curb it, didn't force the game into an iron-blooded confrontation, and rushed to attack. In his opinion, it was beneficial to the Kings.

Several stars of the Kings had a different view on the opponent's choice than the head coach. Weber was so angry that he wanted to attack them, so he had a good time with the opponent!
The Clippers had the advantage at the beginning, but the Kings did not expect them to play like this. The Clippers first played an 8-4 wave, opening the point difference to 5 points, leading 27-23.

But after Weber came to his senses, he directed his teammates to adjust their playing style and defeated the Clippers 11-8 in the rest of the first quarter. At the end of the first quarter, the two teams scored 35-34. The fleet ended the first quarter with a 1-point lead.

李敖单节9投5中，其中三分球2中1，外加4中4的罚球，拿到15分2板3助攻2抢断，蜘蛛侠起飞！

In this quarter, the offensive coordination of the two teams was actually better than that of the first quarter matchup between the Clippers and Timberwolves. The score was not as high as that night because both teams ensured basic defense.

Gentry did not revolve around the stronger core combination of Jordan + Odom, just to ensure the basic defense.

Putting aside the shortcoming that Jordan's physical strength is not consistent enough when playing against strong teams, the Kings' lineup rotation will definitely target Jordan when he is on the court, forcing him to consume more physical energy on the defensive end.

It is definitely not enough to let Jordan not defend, not to mention that it will cause their Clippers to not even do a good job of basic defense, and Jordan himself does not accept the defensive end with akimbo.

In the second quarter, the Clippers played more finely on the offensive end and cooperated more perfectly. Gentry made a lot of adjustments during the inter-section break.

Their offensive coordination in the second half of the first quarter was actually quite rough. They were able to lead by 1 point purely because of the 8-4 run after the official timeout.

However, during this period of time, Gentry was full of inspiration when he was watching from the sidelines, and thought of many ways to adjust.

When he focuses on defense, he has a lot of tactics in his mind, and he can pop up a defensive tactic at will. Whether the team has the conditions to implement the tactic, it is an objective reason. He has no shortage of defensive tactics. After all, he followed Larry- Brown nearly 20 years.

But playing offense is when his mind is most active.

In the second quarter, the Clippers resorted to an adjusted version of the triangle offense, using Jordan as the starting point of the offense to create opportunities for Li Ao to catch, shoot and pass the ball. The opposing Kings played Princeton around Peja's shooting, running and passing.

That's right, Gentry copied directly from the opposite side and adjusted to the triangle offense based on his own actual situation.

No way, who made his beloved apprentice Spiderman almost completely surround Peja in terms of ability, except for running ability and three-point ability, which is weaker than Peja, and all other aspects are stronger.

To be talented is to be willful.

The Clippers' shooting percentage declined in the second quarter. Confrontation and physical exertion had a great impact on the role players' performance, but their offensive coordination was better and they created more opportunities.

But although Gentry adjusted well, the situation did not develop as they expected.

The system is more sound, the style of play is more perfect, and the cooperation is more tacit... The main reason is that the Kings, who have a stronger overall performance and continuity, have the upper hand in the second quarter!
Li Ao played 10 minutes in this quarter and only took a 2-minute break after the official timeout. He scored 8 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists and 1 block. The Clippers also performed well, scoring 28 points.

But the Kings scored 31 points!The Clippers led the Clippers by two points 65 to 63 at halftime!
In the third quarter, the Clippers had a slight advantage. Li Ao had 10 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal in a single quarter. Jordan had more opportunities to work hard in this quarter, scoring 9 points in a single quarter. The two led the team to win. By 30 points, the Kings had only scored 26 points. At the end of the three quarters, the Clippers led the Kings by two points, 93-91. However, as soon as the final quarter came, the Kings went on a 10-4 run. The Clippers were stopped at the beginning, leading by 101 points 97 to 4, and there was a tendency to widen the point difference.

The 8-man rotation of the Kings does not consider the risk of injury, which is too stupid.

No team can match the consistency of the Kings' full-court performance.

The 8-player rotation consumes a lot of energy. They have already played Princeton for the third year and have thoroughly grasped this tactical system. They have long been able to distribute their energy well.

Webber is tired, so Peja will be the main attacker. If it is not possible, there are also Bobby Jackson, Doug Christie, and even Turkoglu who can average 10+ per game. The 8 of them are the main rotation. Pollard, who rushed to the frame and offensive rebounds, and the other 7 players averaged more than 10 points per game.

The Kings team has a strong offense. When the three major scorers Webb, Peja, and Bobby Jackson are tired, others can step in for a short time, or even take turns.

This is why the Kings made the Lakers afraid of three-pointers this year.

Head-to-head with the Kings, the Clippers are still missing something.

After playing a 4-point advantage, Peja's time is up.

After returning from the timeout, the Clippers launched a fierce counterattack, which was suppressed by Peja's two consecutive three-pointers.

When the wind is downwind, Peja is like the league's number one shooting guard, number one in the world in catch and shoot.

When the wind is headwind, they have Webber, who can play a gorgeous offensive to reverse the situation.

As for no one who can stand up in a desperate situation...

Tonight, the Kings were not pushed into a corner!

Li Ao, Jordan, Bibby, Odom, Jermaine O'Neal, Matt Harprin, Big Q, Boykins, the Clippers rotated 8 players in the last quarter, everyone tried their best on the court, Gentry exhausted Brain thinking about tactics, the players are also actively responding, but there is always a little bit of difference...

At 11 minutes and 49 seconds into the final quarter, Li Ao received the ball from outside the three-point line, dribbled the ball behind his back to avoid the defense, and shot a three-pointer from the right side of the top arc...and missed.

The general trend is over, and the point difference is fixed at 6 points.

After Divac protected the rebound, the Clippers tried to steal a wave, but Divac accurately sent the ball to the steady Doug Christie, the Clippers did not foul again, and Doug Christie advanced halfway There was no attack after the field, and the last time was spent.

At 10:24 p.m., the final whistle blew.

靠着佩贾的31分、韦伯的27分7板6助攻、白巧克力12分8助攻、道格-克里斯蒂10分6助攻、迪瓦茨14分9板4助攻、特科格鲁8分3助攻、波拉德6分7板1盖帽、鲍比-杰克逊的17分2助攻，国王队以125比119险胜快船队，将战绩提升至13胜4负！
When Li Ao dribbled behind his back and turned around to shoot a three-pointer, Adelman's heart almost jumped out of his chest.

If it does go in, the point difference will be reduced to 3 points, and the Clippers will foul them tactically. He is not sure whether his players will enter 'postman time'.

He hates playing key balls the most. He puts everything on regular offense and defense. No one can stand up and shoot at critical moments.

However, even though he won, he still has lingering fears. The opposite head coach is a lunatic!

A lunatic like old Nelson!

If it weren't for Spider-Man's obvious shortcomings in his current ability and the basketball god's lack of battery life, their Kings might not be able to do it tonight.

李敖今晚出场46分钟，31投16中，其中三分球9中4，加上8中7的罚球，狂飙43分，外加7板9助攻4抢断3盖帽。

Their team is really not good at defending against Spider-Man. Facing the rookie Spider-Man last season, they couldn't lock up the defense.

That is to say, Li Ao made a few breakthroughs tonight, and the offense at the basket was not done well, otherwise their Kings would be terrible.

Jordan played 31 minutes tonight, scoring 19 points on 9-for-26 shooting, which also made Adelman's scalp numb.

This is 38 years old, and Malone came to beat them, but he couldn't get 20+, but Jordan, who has retired for 3 years, did it.

The god of basketball is the god of basketball. Fortunately, the god of basketball has insufficient battery life. There are as many as 3 times he barely made a shot, and one of them was a three-way game, otherwise the ending would be different.

In addition, Adelman is now somewhat grateful to the Sharks.

The Clippers lost two important rotation players in order to bring in Campbell.

As a result, if Spider-Man is not on the field, Jordan will not have a good enough bottom line to respond to the pitcher, and the cut-in point is not suitable. Matt Harperin's ability to cut into the frame is not weaker than Rafonso Ellis, but he Can't understand the triangle offense.

The triangle offense is a very magical tactic. It seems to give the ball to the two stars in singles. In fact, role players are equally important. The requirements for role players are not as strict as Princeton, but it also tests the ability of role players to seize opportunities. If you don’t understand it, you understand it. No, a lot of people can be caught in the league who can be used as a triangle offensive support point, but there are also a lot of people who just can't understand.

Li Ao's ability to cut into the frame and attack the frame is not as good as that of Matt Halprin, but he is better than Matt Halprin in the triangle offense or Princeton cooperation.

If Piakowski and Rafonso Ellis hadn't left, and met the Clippers with such an unrestrained head coach in the playoffs... he felt his scalp tingling just thinking about it.

Thanks to Adelman for the 'shark effect', the Clippers have two shortcomings that they can use to attack!

...

The Clippers are on the rise again, scoring 4 or more points for the fourth time this season.

But the Clippers, who had won the first three times, lost this time!

After the game, the media and fans were touting the performance of the Kings in this game. The style of the game was gorgeous, and they were able to win the game. The popularity of passers-by was simply not very good.

Garnett was being touted a lot this time. Webb was the invincible player in the league. The Kings and Magic played against each other once this season. Duncan could not gain an advantage against Webber, and the Kings took the victory.

But Garnett has always been able to overwhelm Weber. So far in their careers, the two have played against each other. Garnett's statistics have surrounded Weber in all directions. The team strength of the two has always been stronger than Weber, but the record of the matchup has been mixed.

The Clippers' performance has not been underestimated. They played back and forth with the Kings most of the time, and there was still the possibility of a reversal in the last ten seconds.

Adelman's heart hung in his throat when Li Ao shot the three-pointer. The commentator also said that the Kings were weak at critical moments, and even free throws were easy to be "postmanized". He expected the Clippers to drag the game to Overtime, unfortunately the goal was not scored.

The fact that Li Ao scored 43 points was ridiculed by the fans-not worthy of scoring high points.

Because of his 40+ twice this season, the Clippers lost.

The cardinal rubbed off on the heat, and he said in an interview: "Spider-Man's 40+ cannot be linked with the Clippers' loss. In the Clippers' tactical system, Spider-Man is not the one with high scores. He is the end point of tactics and the axis of tactics. When he stands up to get high scores, it is the time when the Clippers must fight. If he does not get high scores, the Clippers may not even have the last chance .Spiderman is the most talented player in Los Angeles, we should give him more patience and wait for him to reach his prime."

Cardinal's evaluation has been recognized by many people.

But it was also complained by many people - this old man has no good intentions.

The Lakers fans refuted fiercely-the Sharks are the most talented player, more talented than Jordan.

On Li Ao's side, he was very depressed after losing. If he hit 40+, he would lose. No one would be depressed. Moreover, after the first game of the task of "Gorgeous King", he lost the "highest reward", but fell asleep. After a long-distance running morning exercise the next morning, I felt much better.

3场比赛2次40+，他场均得分重返25+，场均25.5分。

He didn't think too much about the things he couldn't change, and focused on the next game.

With 15 wins and 3 losses, the Kings have already caught up. He has been the first in the league for so long, and he doesn't want to give it up.

Although the 'Gorgeous King' had a bad start, there was one more mission to complete.

'Go wild!Spider-Man's base objective is complete, and he gets a level 1 skill upgrade card.

As for the advanced goal, he has tried his best, and he is still a bit short of 50 points in a single game.

Just like they wanted to drag the game to a critical moment but failed to do so. The opponent's defense is too good. Even if he has an advantage in playing the opponent's outside line, his scoring depends on the whole. The defense is done, the opponent is not the Timberwolves, but the Kings with excellent offense and defense.

For this level 3 skill upgrade card, he chooses to upgrade 'Marathon'.

When he received this task, he thought about which skill to upgrade, and felt that this was the most suitable for the moment.

After morning exercise, he returned to the bedroom and took a shower, then he took the reward and used it.

"Marathon Level 3: When running long distances without the ball, short-term physical strength will be slightly improved; if you receive the ball and shoot after long-distance running, you will temporarily return to the best physical condition within two seconds after receiving the ball; if you successfully pass the long distance Get rid of opponents by running long distances, +3 for emergency stops when catching and shooting, and +3 for turning around.”

Li Ao thinks this is a skill related to Hamilton. However, he is not very useful in positional warfare. He does not need such a long-distance running position, but it will be very useful in counterattack follow-up and follow-up shots.

He thought about it, he had many skills and equipment, and the places where they were used were very different from the 'correct way of using them'.

After upgrading his skills, he switched to the lottery drawing interface, and now his achievement points have reached 69255 points.

If he didn't get this level 3 skill upgrade card, he was going to collect more achievement points. If he drew the one with 10000 points, he would get more achievement points if he drew the level 3 card to upgrade to 'Marathon'.

But now that it has been upgraded to level 3, there is no need to continue to save. If you draw 1000 points, you can upgrade the 'Pie Eater' and 'Vertical Master'.

After a white light flashed, Li Ao saw that there were 32255 achievement points left, and his heart was bleeding.

10 consecutive victories, hard work to complete the achievement points accumulated in each mission, and spit it back.

花了37000成就点，他抽到了6个2级技能升级卡碎片，合成2张2级技能升级卡，把两个1级技能升了。

"Pie Eater Level 2: When the host cuts in without the ball, 1. If there is no defense under the basket, the speed +2, successfully cuts into the basket to catch the ball and attack the frame, and the core strength is slightly improved; 2. When cutting in, if the basket If someone is defending, strength +2."

“纵向大师2级：宿主持球进攻使用横移摆脱防守时，1.背后运球节奏感小幅提升，2.横移+2，3.爆发加速+2。”

After the upgrade of 'Pie Eater', there is an extra bonus of defending with the ball when cutting, which is quite good.

It is certainly impossible for him to say that when the center forward is paying attention to him, he will go directly to the center forward, but there are cut-in conditions. If there is a confrontation, increase the strength by two points, and the shooting stability in the confrontation will definitely improve.

The new bonus of 'Vertical Master' is obviously related to breakthroughs and is not used for the time being. However, after he has mastered dribbling behind his back, turning around and shooting, the direction of further expansion is to dribble behind his back to receive breakthroughs, and shoot and break. That is a complete behind-the-back dribbling attack.

...

After breakfast, Li Ao sent his father to the airport. His father was going back to China to deal with the affairs of the factory, and he would come back later to spend Christmas with his grandson.

Li Ao had lunch with three generations of Bibby's family.

The middle-aged man asked Mike Bibby to have dinner with him when he was free. He didn't want to get involved in other people's family affairs, but who made him owe the middle-aged man? Do me a favor when I have time. Occasionally there is a 'father and son reunion' moment, which can be regarded as doing good deeds.

Human hearts are fleshy, living in the same city, eating and drinking occasionally, although the relationship between Mike Bibby and Henry Bibby is still very stiff, the former still cannot forgive the latter, but he does not reject the old Bibby's desire to have a relationship with his grandson. Meet the request, and from time to time will take Michael Bibby to Memorial Stadium, let the grandpa and grandson get together.

After lunch, the middle-aged Sao Nan took his grandson to the amusement park. Li Ao and Bibby came to the Memorial Stadium to participate in the team's training.

When the two of them arrived, the teammates were all there.

Li Ao saw that his teammates were not depressed because of the loss, and the atmosphere was still very good. He was relieved that he didn't have to work hard to encourage his teammates.

He didn't know why every time he encouraged his teammates, they wanted to hit him after they cheered up.

Fortunately, he is agile, no one can run faster than Boykins except Boykins, and as long as he presses Boykins' head, the other party can't kick him, thus preserving his handsome face.

When losing for the first time in the new season, the team's air pressure was quite low, but this is not the first time, and the acceptance level is much higher.

Jordan was the one who couldn't accept the defeat the most. He was so angry after the game last night.

But Doug Christie succumbed to his wife, and took his wife and daughter to the Clippers locker room to ask Jordan for an autograph and a group photo, which made Jordan happy-you won a regular season and What can I do, your whole family is my fan!
At 1:2 p.m., the Clippers held a preparation meeting, and at [-] p.m. they started training intensively.

Tomorrow is another tough battle - the three Milwaukee Musketeers are coming!

On the second day, December 12, the Clippers played against the Bucks at home.

Li Ao came to the Staples Center for extra training early, and worked with Gerald Wallace for extra training.

As other teammates arrived one after another, more and more media came to interview.

Gerald Wallace asked: "Boss, I remember there was no live broadcast tonight, why are there so many reporters here?"

Li Ao analyzed: "It may be related to the competition for the first place in the league. We are only one game away from the second place. Although the Bucks' record is mediocre, no one can defend them after they start their offense. Tonight's game We have to be careful, if you get playing time, don't lose the chain, it's all from the Trojans, don't embarrass me.

Next we will play a 6-game streak, the physical strength test of the main players will be great, you will definitely get the chance to play, there may be a lot of time, you have to seize it. "

With so many players from the Trojans, you can kill me alone!
Gerald Wallace sneered a bit, but he actually felt quite warm, at least the senior brother cared about him.

The other bosses of the team completely ignored him and let him fend for himself.

He asked: "The questions raised by those reporters, why do they seem to expect us to lose?"

"You should be happy. It means we are winners. When we become real winners in the future, expect us to lose more. Just look at the team next door."

"Oh……"

Gerald Wallace understood. It turns out that in the hearts of strong people, being expected to lose is something to be proud of.

He put aside distracting thoughts and devoted himself to extra training, striving to improve his strength.

He wants to take advantage of his limited playing time to show his ability and take over the time vacated by Rafonso Ellis as soon as possible.

It's definitely not trying to compete with the senior brother for the position, absolutely not, he is sharing the pressure for the senior brother!

...

At 7:40 p.m., the Staples Center, the Bucks and the Clippers entered the court successively.

Tonight, there is another "fan meeting", the first time in the new season against the Bucks, there are many players on the opposite side who have watched Jordan's game since childhood and use Jordan as a benchmark.

After taking a photo with Jordan, Ray Allen provocatively said: "Michael, after tonight, you will no longer be the number one in the league. Is this feeling uncomfortable?"

Jordan smiled contemptuously, and replied, "After you win the playoffs first, come and discuss the topic of No. [-] with me."

Ray Allen was stunned speechless, but he was not annoyed. He smiled and turned back to the visiting team's bench.

Li Ao, who came to watch the "Basketball God Fan Meeting" on a whim, was surprised that Ray Allen, a boring gourd, actually took the initiative to speak.

Seeing Ray Allen actively communicate with his teammates after returning to the bench, Li Ao made a "tsk tut" sound. He is indeed No. 1 in history. Anyone who sees Jordan wants to fuck him.

Ray Allen is known for being withdrawn, stubborn and difficult to communicate with. He rarely communicates with his teammates. In the two matches last season, Li Ao saw that Ray Allen was standing next to his teammates like a log before the game, watching Kassel communicated with his teammates without saying a word.

Seeing Ray Allen becoming more aggressive, Li Ao became even more excited.

That's right, he feels a little bit of the same as Jr. O'Neal at this moment.

Jordan made Ray Allen more active and excited. It was him who protected Ray Allen, not Jordan!
