From sparring to superstar

Chapter 260 258. You won’t win next time either

As long as I don't work hard, you won't be able to find any more flaws in me.

Gentry explained to the teacher the essence of lying flat.

Larry Brown wants to run over and yell at Gentry's ear—is that what I taught you to coach?
But when I saw Li Ao, Jordan, and Odom next to the students, emmm... the students had grown up and couldn't be as abusive as before.

Then scold Claxton!
Then, Larry Brown quarreled with Iverson again, defending the younger brother. Iverson has always been a role model among black players.

After an argument with Larry Brown, Iverson returned to the court.

It is not a problem for him to play the first three quarters and continue to play in the fourth quarter. This year he has become accustomed to it. Last year, he could occasionally rest for a few minutes when playing against strong teams. This year, he basically played the entire game.

But how to fight, he was at a loss now.

Being coached by Larry Brown, he not only blazed a path to becoming a superstar that is unique to him, one that no one else can copy.

His offensive thinking has also been restricted, and he no longer has the unbridled imagination he had as a rookie.

He couldn't even think of any other way to attack.

In isolation, he encountered a defensive intensity close to last year's All-Star Game. When the confrontation started and wing shooters on both sides failed to make shots, the Clippers were in a position to play that kind of defense.

Sudden points, teammates can't make a shot.

Without the ball, as long as the opponent can shrink, there is nothing he can do.

Apart from these three, Iverson can't think of any other offensive possibilities in his mind. There is no doubt that Larry Brown can think of these three offensive methods.

With no other choice, Iverson could only bite the bullet and see if he could create a miracle. Anyway, he was unwilling to give up.

But no matter how tenacious he is, he can't break through the predicament in front of him.

All his efforts were like a trapped animal fighting.

If outside superstars want to show high flying, they often need someone to widen the road ahead. The Black Mamba relies on the big shark.

But the answer is only up to you.

The Clippers players are completely different. They have a clear playing style and get better and better the more they play!
We're 7 points ahead. We must defend and stay flat on offense. Just hold on!
Li Ao hit another 3 irons in the final quarter, but scored 2 goals!
One of them was a three-pointer, plus Coleman was fouled when he cut into the frame and was defended. He made two free throws and scored 1 points in a single quarter, raising his personal score to 7 points!
Let’s talk about it, Larry Brown is really good. Even a player with Coleman’s defensive ability can use iron defense. After a confrontation, this guy takes root at close range and is a monster when he gets into the basket. The wall, together with Mutombo, blocked the space under the basket.

Iverson threw the ball 8 times in the final quarter, but only scored two goals. Plus 2 of 1 free throws, he scored 5 points and 2 assists.

The difference in individual scores between the two is not big, but the difference in team scores is huge.

The 76ers only scored 16 points in the final quarter, and the Clippers scored 20 points!
还剩17秒的时候，李敖接球转身突两步的急停跳投不中，数据定格在27投10中，其中三分球8中3，外加6中6的罚球，拿到29分9板2助攻2抢断4盖帽。

Li Ao was a little bit regretful when he failed to score 30 points, but when he saw the score, he was instantly happy and he won!
Moreover, Iverson made 33 of 11 shots, including 3 of 1 three-pointers, plus 8 of 5 free throws, and only scored 28 points!
Snow got the rebound, and Li Ao used his last strength to follow Iverson.

After Snow advanced through the center line, he looked at Iverson, who was stuck with Li Ao with his arms akimbo, and did not attack again, spending the remaining time.

晚上8点22分，终场哨声响起，靠着李敖的29分、乔丹的20分、毕比的14分，快船队以84比73客场击败76人队，6连客开门红！

"Congratulations to the host for leading the team to defeat the 76ers...Reward: 660 achievement points."

"Answer:
The host scored 29 points, Allen Iverson scored 28 points, and the goal was completed.

Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: 1 speed basic attribute point. "

Li Ao hopes to do this task again the next time he plays against Iverson!
Last season's 76ers team, it would be difficult for them to deal with them like this.

But for the current 76ers team, he doesn't worry at all. It will be very difficult and frustrating, but there are already ways to deal with it, and they are still very easy to use.

By sending away Te'Lon Hill and George Lynch, the 76ers not only lost two forwards who could make good use of Iverson's containment power to score, but in turn made it more difficult for Iverson to score.

This is much more than the impact of their Clippers sending Piakowski and Rafonso Ellis away. They have a way to make up for it anyway, and the 76ers have nothing at all.

Regardless of Coleman's 12 points and 10 rebounds tonight, his effectiveness is far worse than that of George Lynch who averaged 8+7 per game, let alone Te'lon Hill.

In addition to tasks, you also have to work hard to win and continue to accumulate achievement points. I didn’t get any attribute points in the last 30+ basic draws, so I’ll save more and continue to draw.

If you continue to increase your speed, you can...try to add more weight to slow down your speed.

Thinking of this, he felt strange. The purpose of increasing the speed was to gain weight and continue to improve the competition. The path seemed to be getting more and more cross-country.

After turning off the system, Li Ao celebrated the victory with his teammates and was about to leave. After resting for a while with his arms crossed, Iverson found him.

"Good job, Spider-Man, you won this time. When I come to Los Angeles next time, I will definitely win next time."

Li Ao lowered his head and said, "I'm waiting for you, but it's hard for you to win."

Iverson's outstretched hands froze into claws.

This big spider, even if he puts his thumbs up in front of him and says, "The most handsome man is greater than the number one pick," he will laugh it off.

They all express self-confidence. Saying "You can't beat me" so sincerely is the most lethal!
But unlike a certain snake, the answer came after the hateful big spider stretched out his hand and shook it with force... "Hiss..."

Iverson quickly retracted his hand. The opponent was much stronger than him, so why did he take the blame?

Li Ao looked at Iverson who turned to leave. The four shooting guards not only had completely different playing styles, but also had different personalities.

It's such a pleasure to play against this group of people.

Wait, he suddenly figured out something.

During the offseason, could the 76ers want to give up defense and embrace offense?
He went through the 76ers' transactions and signings, and it seemed like he was really embracing the offense!

What an unlucky answer, I was tricked by Stern!

...

Gentry was even happier than Li Ao after defeating the 76ers.

Returning to the locker room after the game, Gentry bought a few bottles of champagne from the arena store to celebrate...but he didn't give it to Li Ao.

They opened the locker room for interviews after the game. The 20-year-old Spider-Man could only drink soda that Gentry bought by the way.

Li Ao was fine here, but Jordan was having trouble again.

Originally, Gentry's tactical arrangement tonight made Jordan play very well and his shooting rate was low, but his role in the team is second only to Li Ao, which is enough to compare with O'Neal who has taken on everything in the interior.

But not only did Iverson not go take a photo with him before the game, but he only went to shake hands with Li Ao after the game. He was angry and felt that he had lost face.

Seeing that Jordan was angry, Li Ao was much happier drinking soda, which is indeed happy water.

Over in Los Angeles, Kobe, who has been playing at home recently, is unhappy now.

The Clippers actually found a way to deal with the 76ers so easily.

The tactics are not difficult to understand, but the Lakers can't learn it yet!
Thinking that as long as the Big Spider plays steadily and as long as Iverson doesn't explode, the Big Spider can win, and every time he plays against the 76ers, he has to play with sudden points and pass... He originally expected the big fat man to die, but he started again I hope Brother Shark can lose weight soon.

Li Ao defeated Iverson, Kobe will be unhappy, but the reverse is also true.

What he wants to see is that both Li Ao and Iverson lose.

As for whether the two teams play against each other and both teams lose, that doesn't matter.

At noon the day after defeating the 76ers, the Clippers came to Washington, DC.

Yesterday, they defeated the 76ers in a fierce battle and received praise. Gentry was praised to the heavens for remaining unchanged in response to changes, being calm and composed.

The head coach was happy, but Li Ao was in pain.

The media and anti-fans seized the opportunity and began to criticize his shooting percentage again.But seeing Iverson also being sprayed, it didn't hurt so much.

When the record is good, no matter how hard Iverson shoots, no one mentions it. But when the record is bad, even if his actual performance is better than last season, he is just a blacksmith.

Looking at such news, Li Ao found that he actually felt a little nostalgic. During his rookie season, he was criticized for his shooting percentage in every game. This year, he was criticized less often, and he was a bit unaccustomed to it.

Putting aside subjective emotions, he felt that the media's criticism was not unreasonable.

If he has a stronger ability to change independently or has more methods when responding to the offense, and Jordan and Bibby are able to launch the offense, it will definitely be easier for them to defeat the current strength of the 76ers without having to go through a war of attrition.

The sense of urgency is here!Work hard to become stronger. If you are willing to play Jordan's style of play, it won't be a big problem to continue it for another two or three years. You can't waste a season with such a good teammate!
After an afternoon of rest, the Clippers came to Verizon Arena to challenge the Wizards in back-to-back away games.

'Eastern teams are born to defend', this was originally just a joke.

In the late 80s and early 90s, teams in the Eastern Conference were scoring even more wildly than in the Western Conference.

Because he was not wild enough to defeat the showtime Lakers in the finals, Magic played in 12 finals in his short 9-year career.

If it weren't for the lack of sexual safety measures, everyone believes that the Magic would have to play in the finals three or four more times.

Every Eastern team wants to compete for the championship. In that era of offensive priority, it has to fully firepower to deal with the offensive bombing of the Purple and Gold Army led by Magician.

But after I talked about this joke too much, the players who played in the Eastern Conference subconsciously put defense first. Over time, the Iron-Blooded Eastern Conference came to be.

Even the players of the Wizards with 7 wins and 12 losses are extremely motivated to defend after playing.

Part of the reason is that they also want to defeat the God of Basketball.

Especially after the game started and they found that the opponent had a weak start, they defended even harder.

The starting lineup of Tyronn Lue, Hamilton, Hubert Davis, Brand, and Haywood has a pretty good defensive foundation.

How good is it?Just ask O'Neal Jr.

He's in bad shape again - you guys can't guard against the God of Basketball, why are you here to challenge me?Have the ability to go out and prevent him from dying!
Hubert Davis, a very good defensive player, was once a strong player on the forward bench of the Mavericks. In his peak period, he was the main striker of New York. He once defended Jordan in the playoffs and was used by the Wizards. Replaced by Wan Howard.

But when he met his old senior Jordan, the 31-year-old Hubert Davis ushered in the education of his senior again.

When playing against other opponents, it's okay if Jordan is weak, but when meeting his juniors, he can't lose face.

However, Jordan didn't play long. In back-to-back games, Gentry strictly controlled his playing time. In 21 minutes of playing time, he made 12 of 7 shots, including 1 of 1 three-pointers, and 4 of 3 free throws. He scored 18 points steadily. point.

Li Ao and Hamilton also started a confrontation.

In the second game of back-to-back games, the one with the best physical strength in the team is Li Ao. With his 'physical therapy function' + professional care from physical therapists + perfect warm-up, there was no impact on the back-to-back games. He even practiced behind-the-back movement for a full 3 hours today. Ball-turning mid-range shot and three-pointer.

However, Li Ao didn't have much time to chase Hamilton. As long as Jordan went down, he would let Big Q chase.

Hamilton nearly threw them both up by himself.

汉密尔顿今晚18投8中，其中三分球6中2，加上4中4的罚球，拿到奇才队全队最高的22分。

Li Ao only scored 20 points tonight, but he was more efficient, making 15 of 7 shots, including 4 of 2 three-pointers, plus 6 of 4 free throws.

Li Ao was chased by Hamilton, and it was not easy to run out of position, but as long as he successfully caught the ball and made a shot, Hamilton would have nothing to do with him, especially the three-pointer, Hamilton really couldn't interfere.

It will be much more difficult for Hamilton. As long as Li Ao keeps up, he can only shoot against the defense.

Brand and O'Neal started another round of hand-to-hand combat.

When Brand was first traded, he was ridiculed by all parties. The No. [-] pick played for two years and was used for the second pick. The media even compared him with Sugar Man, and felt that Sugar Man would have better prospects in the future. After all, the Sugarman is on the top team of the Trail Blazers, and Brand is going to a team that just won the second pick.

Fans other than the Bulls put all their malice towards the original Bulls dynasty on him.

Brand quickly used his strength to defeat those who disliked him. Although the team's record was average, it was much better than last season. He averaged 21 points, 11.6 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks per game. He had top offense, top rebounding, and excellent defense. Let Washington fans see the hope of rising!
Tonight, against O'Neal, Brand still scored 17 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks.

However, O'Neal Jr. also played very well, with 13 points, 13 rebounds, 1 steal and 2 blocks, and he fought back and forth with the opponent.

The key player in victory or defeat is Bibby!

毕比前面20分钟出场时间里，跟梦游似的，8投仅2中，只拿到6分4助攻，表现远不及打了12分钟拿到7分2助攻的博伊金斯。

Jordan became excited when he met his juniors. He didn't play much but was very efficient.

O'Neal met Brand and once again entered an unyielding moment.

Odom was too tired, sleepwalking, Jordan yelling, Matt Harpring fierce, couldn't wake up...

In many cases, Li Ao and Jordan have to rely on Big Q, Matt Harprin and Boykins.

But in the last 3 minutes, Bibby made 3 of 2 shots and scored 5 points. In addition, he provided assists for Li Ao at the critical moment, helping Li Ao score his second three-pointer tonight and widening the point difference to 6 points, helping the Clippers. The team secures the victory!

In the end, the Clippers narrowly defeated the Wizards 96-88 and won this back-to-back game!
...

The core combination of Hamilton and Brand left a deep impression on Li Ao.

He didn't expect these two to be so suitable.

Brand's ability to pass inside and outside is really good. I really couldn't see it when he was with the Bulls before.

Hamilton's running ability can draw the opponent's forward players' attention away from defense, and Brand's low-post opportunities can also become better.

The two play styles complement each other.

Around this pair of scorers, coupled with a better point guard and a small forward who is good in isolation or can catch the ball with accurate three-pointers, the core lineup comes together.

Both types of players are easy to find, and the Wizards already have a good pie-eating center in Brandon Haywood.

Wizards owner Abi Poulin is an owner who loves basketball and is willing to spend money, and the Arenas clause was the result of the contract he gave him.

Without the interference of President Joe's divine operation, the Wizards will most likely not send Hamilton away... So where should the Pistons find a pitcher?
The most important thing is that Stackhouse, who was originally used by the Pistons to trade Hamilton, was used to exchange for Artest. Where will they find a shooting guard now?
However, the Pistons have a lot of salary space. There is only one player with an annual salary of more than 1 million US dollars, Clifford Robinson. It is also possible to poach people in the free market. Joe Dumars is very popular...

It was night, Li Ao's mind was divergent, analyzing the possible operations of various potential opponents, and fell asleep.

The next afternoon, the Clippers arrived in Rutherford Township in Jersey City, New Jersey.

After a night's rest, on December 12th, the Clippers came to the Army Aviation Arena to challenge the Nets.

Playing against the Nets for the second time, Li Ao was still amazed when he saw the opposing team's report.

20 games, 14 wins and 6 losses, a winning rate of 70%. Calculated from 82 games, it is 57 wins, a record of championship favorites!
Kidd single-handedly connected the entire team.

The Nets have a very good foundation, but no one can be as good as Kidd. It can be said that the Nets are suitable for Kidd, but Kidd can't only play as well as the Nets.

After playing for more than a season, Li Ao knows more about player evaluation reports.

He has seen several players with an overall rating of 98, but the ones above are only the Shaq who lost weight or the Shaq who was not so fat at the beginning of last season, and the Shifo who was in his second peak.

No matter how good others perform, there is nothing higher than this.

The evaluation of 98 and 99 seems to be only 1 point different, but the thin line between them means that the two players have completely different characteristics.

The overall rating is 98. It is powerful, extremely powerful, and has the ability to defeat any opponent by itself, or can support a powerful system by itself.

But players with an overall rating of 99 have already reached the threshold of 'dominance'.

Kidd is the third player in the league today to touch this threshold!
"Jason Kidd, 28 years old, 193 cm, 93 kg, overall rating of 99... averaged 17 points, 8.2 rebounds, 9.9 assists and 2.2 steals per game... shooting 41.1% from the field, 36% from three-point range, and 2.1 field goals per game. Three points..."
