From sparring to superstar

Chapter 336
Li Ao can be a tactical coordinator in positional battles, and can also be the axis of the ball during fast breaks. Li Ao brought another surprise to people in the first game of the new season.

However, the serious decline in the strength of the Clippers has also been clearly seen by people.

Living in Angel City, with the popularity of Li Ao, and the status of two consecutive defending champions... After the introduction of Kidd, the Clippers have been the focus of discussion and analysis by the media and fans.

The disorganization of the Clippers' offense was already evident in the preseason.

In the regular season, the exposure was even more obvious. Although the Clippers dominated the Magic in the first half, their offensive performance in positional battles was very poor. Most of the time, they could only rely on Li Ao and O'Neal's singles to solve the problem.

In the first half of the third quarter, the Clippers' positional battle was so overwhelming that they couldn't even stand it!It was purely supported by the singles points of Li Ao and O'Neal.

The speed of the media's change of attitude was evident at that time. In the offseason, the commentators who boasted that Kidd's joining the Clippers would allow the Clippers to play a gorgeous offense began to mock Kidd's performance in sorting out the offense, regardless of his performance. Kidd's team last season and this Clippers team are two completely different teams.

Many fans were affected by their remarks and criticized Kidd's leadership ability after the game. It even appeared that Kidd was able to lead the Nets to a strong team because he happened to have a lineup that suited him.

In short, as much as Kidd has been praised in the past two years, he is being stepped down hard now.

In the City of Angels, if you play well, you can quickly become popular, but if you play poorly, the curses will come immediately.

Relatively speaking, Clippers fans are much more tolerant and look to the bright side - thankful that Jordan has joined them in the past two years.

Because of Jordan, the Clippers have been able to implement their young player development plan in the past two years, allowing Li Ao and O'Neal to slowly and gradually enrich their offensive methods.

Although Li Ao and O'Neal did not perform as well as Cassel and Duncan in the star singles duel, they were barely able to survive. They survived the stage when the Magic's defensive performance declined due to too much offensive effort, creating opportunities for Kidd to launch a counterattack. Opportunity.

The Clippers were criticized for winning, and the Magic's loss was not much better. Except for Duncan, whose personal performance was still stable, the Magic's management, coaching staff, and players were criticized. All over.

The Magic management and Juwan Howard can be regarded as "mutual success". When the media and fans scold the Magic management, they will mention Juwan Howard, and when they scold Juwan Howard, they will also mention the Magic management. This failed signing.

It is also rare to see that the recruitment failed after the first game.

In the game between these two teams with very good defensive discipline, Juwan Howard was really eye-catching. Even Matt Halprin could beat him alone. Kidd and Gerald Wallace met him. When switching defenses, he did not hesitate to break through and attack Duncan. Juwan Howard was like a decoration in the defense.

Cassel's lack of athletic ability could not stop Kidd's counterattack; McGrady could not break the Clippers' defense with his regular style of play. Some experts angrily complained about the whereabouts of McGrady, whose explosive scoring power shocked everyone in the 2002 playoffs...

Rivers' coaching ability has once again been questioned, and his professionalism as a head coach has also been criticized. Juwan Howard is completely inconsistent with the Magic's original style of play, but after a summer, Rivers Have you ever considered adjusting the style of play for this power forward who averages 18+ points per game?
For Li Ao, he felt that Kidd played very well in the first game. If he switched to a big-level position and passed the ball, he could not control the position and attack. His mentality may have exploded, but Kidd stayed calm, defended well, and waited for the opportunity. .

Moreover, Kidd's scoring performance is very good, and he has improved compared to last season - he can follow up and shoot three-pointers after hitting the ball on the counterattack!

Li Ao had an assist when he received the ball during a counterattack, rushed forward and passed the ball back to the top arc. Kidd chased and hit a three-pointer.

In the afternoon of the next day, Li Ao came to the Memorial Stadium to participate in team training. He heard from the trainer that Kidd came to the arena early in the morning to watch the video.

He went to the lounge and took a look. There was a stack of videos on the coffee table. They were all video clips from last season of their old players who stayed on the team.

Seeing Kidd focusing on understanding the playing characteristics of his teammates, Li Ao was relieved of his worries.

In the tenth year of his career, a veteran who has experienced numerous setbacks is not easily discouraged.

In the afternoon training, Gentry was also very determined - to do a good job in defensive counterattack first, step by step.

In the first game, Eddie House's follow-up shooting ability was displayed, but the defense was indeed poor.

Gerald Wallace, Matt Halprin, and Bobby Simmons performed well defensively, especially the newcomer Bobby Simmons, which made Gentry feel like he had picked up a treasure, but the three counterattacked His scoring performance is very good, and his fast performance is not even as good as O'Neal.

These must be strengthened from both personal skills and team tactics.

Team positional warfare and offense also need to be practiced. Gentry chose tactics common to all teams-isolated ball distribution and interspersed movement.

Make do with it first, spend some games to find suitable tactics, and slowly build a system.

Gentry now understands Jackson's mentality better and understands why this legendary coach always seems to be nagging.

It looks pretentious, which may be one of the reasons.

As a head coach, it is important to remain calm and confident no matter what troubles you encounter.

You have to convince your players that you, the head coach, have a solution to the problem, but it just takes time.

In the evening, the Li Ao family came to the Staples Center to watch the opening game between the Lakers and the Mavericks.

General Manager Kupchak is really great!
His drafting ability is a bit poor, but his lineup building ability is very strong!
This past offseason, the Lakers freed up some salary space. After acquiring Payton, Kupchak recruited a large number of veterans. These veterans' playing styles are very suitable for the OK combination, and every player is very motivated when playing. The Lakers The team swept away the decline of last season and played an amazing game, beating the Mavericks.

And the Mavericks' signings... look good.

The three teams with the most sensational signings during the offseason - the Clippers, Lakers, and Pacers, got Kidd, Payton, Malone and Brad Miller respectively.

Behind these three teams is the Mavericks, who took down two scorers averaging 25+ per game in Antoine Jamison and Anthony Walker.

Although both of them have good attributes, if they can get good data, at least their personal abilities are not bad.

The main reason is that the Mavericks introduced these two people and barely touched their core lineup. The biggest bargaining chip they gave away was another brusher Reeve LaFrentz.

The introduction of these two people has made the Mavericks highly anticipated...

Then they made Nowitzki unable to play.

The playing habits, singles positions, and shooting distances of Nowitzki, Anthony Walker, and Jamison almost completely overlap!
When the three of them play together, they are even better. They hinder each other on the offensive end, and all three on the defensive end are a colander.

This is a dangerous trio that even gods can't save.

It was rumored that when Cuban traded these two people back, Nelson went to have a big fight with Cuban, because these two transactions were completed by Cuban bypassing the general manager and head coach Nelson...

101 to 87, the Lakers defeated the Mavericks and won the opening game.

The veteran team of the Lakers put pressure on Li Ao, but he was ready to take the blame wildly, so it didn't matter.

On the Mavericks side...looking at Josh Howard and Daniels, Li Ao was so greedy.

During the draft, the Mavericks had a higher pick than their Clippers team. They first selected Josh Howard, who plays without the ball. Later, when Daniels shone in the summer league, their Clippers team had not yet completed the basic draft. In Germany's trade, there is no shortage of such a combo guard substitute.

What you miss always feels better...

...

The new season has kicked off, and a new journey for the Clippers has begun.

11月1号，快船队以95比84击败超音速队；3号和4号，主客场交替的背靠背中，快船队先以90比82击败老鹰队、接着以114比98吊打勇士队。

On the 6th, the Clippers came to Denver to challenge the Nuggets away.

Tonight, Li Ao took the initiative to face off against Anthony, the 'New York Spider-Man', and turned on the 'Abuse Mode Level 3'. On the offensive end, all-round shooting +3, speed +2, and jumping +3; on the defensive end, his stealing awareness was greatly improved, and his speed was +3. 2, Strength +[-].

Anthony suffered his first miserable night after entering the NBA. He took 24 shots and only hit 8 goals, including 7 step-back three-pointers. In addition to 6 of 4 free throws, he only scored 20 points, plus 5 2 assists and... 6 turnovers!
李敖出场38分钟，只出手了14次，进了11球，其中三分球3中2，加上6中6的罚球，狂飙30分5板6助攻6抢断3盖帽。

Anthony couldn't beat Li Ao offensively, but defensively he could hit Li Ao's face. Although he was still a rookie, his overall rating of 83 was the highest in the Nuggets team. When he played like this, the entire Nuggets team collapsed.

102 to 74, the Clippers slaughtered the Nuggets and started their 5th consecutive victory!

安东尼是开局阶段表现最好的新秀，没有之一，前4场比赛带队战绩2胜2负，第4场还正面击败了詹姆斯率领的骑士队，防得詹姆斯11投仅3中只拿到7分7助攻。

The Nuggets play the Clippers, and people are looking forward to the performance of Anthony, nicknamed the 'New York Spider-Man', when he faces the real Spider-Man.

Not many people thought that Anthony could defeat Li Ao head-on, but it was still surprising that he was tortured so badly.

Spider-Man acted too fiercely tonight just like when he met an enemy who cut off his wealth!
还有一个很有意思的事情——坎比被同届高中生防得6投1中，加上4中3的罚球拿到5分，但抢到16个篮板球、外加狂暴的5次盖帽。

After the game, Li Ao saw the news, and the title of food abuser was once again called out by the media... He actually felt pretty good.

In addition to his most violent performance since the start of the new season, he also got a reward - Melo's step-back package.

It would be better if there is a withdrawal training method for reference, but it is also good to have an action pack. After wearing it, the training efficiency is increased by 20%.

After the game between the Clippers and the Nuggets, basketball fans' attention to the Clippers' next game has soared!
On November 11th, the Clippers came to Cleveland's Quicken Loans Arena to challenge the Cavaliers away from home!
This game is one of the most anticipated games by fans this season.

The most popular rookie this offseason is undoubtedly James.

NBA officials, a group of media led by ESPN, have been building momentum for James since the beginning of this year. He has won a lot of titles before his senior season is over, including Son of America, Magician of the 21st Century, Son of the Chosen One, and Cleveland Savior.

After being selected as the No. 7 pick, before the summer league started, Hook couldn't wait to offer James a sky-high 9400-year endorsement contract of $5 million, surpassing Yao Ming's 5500-year $[-] million and becoming the current sneaker endorsement fee. The second tallest player.

The top one is Li Ao, with 7 million U.S. dollars in 9800 years.

Therefore, James was compared with Li Ao early on. Cavaliers fans felt that James would be stronger and better in his rookie season than Li Ao's rookie season...

But unfortunately, James' performance at the beginning was mediocre, and he had a ball conflict with Ricky Davis. The Cavaliers started with a 5-game losing streak, which was very different from the start of last season.

The strong support from NBA officials and media has allowed James to gain many fans even before he has achieved results.

But because of this, a lot of people hate him very much.

Anthony has just been abused by Spider-Man, and James takes over to fight Spider-Man. Fans are looking forward to what kind of performance James will perform when facing Spider-Man.

At 10:22 pm, the Clippers' away game against the Cavaliers, which was broadcast live nationwide, ended.

Li Ao did not disappoint the fans. He took the initiative to defend James, and James naturally defended him...

23投13中，其中三分球5中2，加上7中6的罚球，李敖拿到34分6板6助攻5抢断2盖帽！

詹姆斯16投6中，其中三分球3中0，加上4中2的罚球，拿到14分4板5助攻2抢断1盖帽以及……7次失误！
Another rookie was beaten inhumanely by Spider-Man.

Although James is not yet 19 years old, his physical fitness is astonishing. From the summer league, to the preseason, and to the first few games, he is unstoppable when facing most opponents with crushing breakthroughs.

But tonight, when he faced Li Ao, who looked thinner than him, he couldn't hit him!

In addition, Kidd has O'Neal Jr. and two meat shield centers rotating on the wings and under the basket... James can hardly score in regular offense.

The reason why James couldn't score in regular offense is because James still scored, scoring on two counterattacks, and three times with "gorgeous moves" that pissed off both O'Neal and Kidd.

Both of them thought their defense was in place, but the other side jumped another step, and even took another step after jumping... The referee just didn't blow the whistle.

But this has little impact on the game.

李敖连续第二场4乘以5，基德16分9板7助攻，小奥尼尔15分8板……快船队以104比79屠杀骑士队，拿下6连胜！

...

After continuously defeating rookie Melo and rookie Little Emperor, Li Ao received a mission after the game against the Cavaliers - 'Golden Generation? ', When fighting against the rookies from the 03 generation lottery area, it will be determined before the game whether the opponent can trigger the task. There are rewards for a single game, and the final reward for the 'Kick Kindergarten' level 4 skill upgrade card.

He likes this task, and he can understand more and more why Payton, Jordan, Kobe and others like to abuse food so much.

It feels so good to leave a psychological shadow on rookies who look like they will become superstars in the future!

But for torturing the little emperor, Li Ao was a little dissatisfied because he didn't get an exclusive reward like he did for torturing little melon.

But think about it carefully, can you get rewards from the little emperor?Shooting package?Low post moves?
Well...it's good to have no reward.

In the first 6 games of the Clippers, except for the opening game against a strong opponent, the next 5 opponents were all teams outside the top eight in the East and West. The opening schedule was not easy, and they also successfully won 6 consecutive victories. Ranking first in the league, supporting the face of the two consecutive defending champions.

During this period, Gentry took the time to adjust his defensive system and coordinate defensive counterattacks.

The biggest improvement in the defensive system is the flank defense and cooperation of Li Ao and Kidd.

Last season, Jordan was on the bench, and Li Ao practiced for most of the season, training the bottom line defense to an excellent level.

Now Li Ao and Kidd can switch seamlessly between the upper and lower lines. Both can complete close-range defensive breakthroughs from the wings, can cover the mid-range from the high area, and can cover the wing shooters. They both have high defensive IQ and are quick. Complete break-in.

This is probably the aspect that Kidd has integrated into the most quickly after joining.

The two handed over the tasks of single defense at the top of the arc, defense at the basket, and chasing down shooters to Gerald Wallace, O'Neal Jr., and Matt Halprin.

These three tasks are the most difficult but also the easiest.

Gerald Wallace always has to face the opponent's strongest offensive player with the ball at the forward and defensive line, O'Neal has to guard the opponent's strongest player with the ball inside, and Matt Halprin is chasing the opponent's strongest player. Pitchers, that's the difficulty.

Simple refers to the level of complexity, and most of the time they only need to do this.

Assisting in defense and supplementary defense were all completed by Li Ao and Kidd.

Even O'Neal's defensive burden has been reduced.

But on the other hand, when the opponent is playing fixed-point singles from mid-to-long distance on the outside and is strong one-on-one on the inside, they have to rely on Gerald Wallace and O'Neal Jr. themselves.

Gerald Wallace has been practicing basic skills for two years, and O'Neal has been training them in parallel for three years. It's time to show results. If they can't guard one-on-one, Li Ao and Kidd won't flank them during regular time. so far away or shrunken so inwards.

From the perspective of individual defense performance, O'Neal Jr. performed first-rate, while Gerald Wallace is still lagging behind.

In other words, in the past two games, Anthony and James were defended by Li Ao, otherwise Gerald Wallace's defensive performance would have been even worse.

Gentry drew up this plan, and both Li Ao and Kidd chose to implement it firmly.

They also went from being beaten to becoming top defensive players. It is clear that this is something that the two teammates need to go through, and it is also a process that they need to endure as teammates.

Also, they need the two of them to do better and reduce their defensive pressure. After all, the offense depends on them. Li Ao is the team's scoring leader, and Kidd is the team's number one outside fixed-point shooter + core offensive organizer.

And the most critical thing - their rotation number has been reduced this season, basically 9-10 people, and Li Ao and Kidd have played a lot of time.

In addition to the restructuring of the defensive system, the Clippers players' personal defense has also been adjusted.

For example, in rebounding, O'Neal can now focus more on blocking. In terms of defensive rebounding, he has a better partner than Jordan and Li Ao - Kidd.

After 6 games, Kidd has become the team's defensive rebound leader, more than O'Neal, pulling O'Neal down from averaging 10+ rebounds per game.

Li Ao's rebounds plummeted to an average of 6 per game, and there is still room for further decline.

There is a center + Kidd guard. If Li Ao is on the line, as long as he determines that the opponent can hit the iron, or there is a space that leads directly to the opponent's basket, he can completely ignore the defensive rebounds. If he is on the line, Kidd must be on the line. .

As for the counterattack system, Gentry admires Nelson. He has rich theoretical knowledge in counterattacks and knows the routines well. With Kidd having rich practical experience, the system was built smoothly.

Although Gerald Wallace received targeted help from Kidd, because his starting point was too low, his progress was not as fast as that of Matt Halprin, who has entered the prime period of his career and has solid basic skills.

This is not a particularly big problem. Gerald Wallace admires his senior brother infinitely, and he can win with his senior brother. Compared with him in the original time and space, he either couldn't play or couldn't win. With earth-shaking changes, his athletic ability and rim-attacking talent are there and can always be improved.

But the speed of counterattack progress of Matt Barnes and Bobby Simmons is disappointing. The basic skills of these two people are worse than Gerald Wallace. After sprinting from a long distance, they receive the ball at close range. The baskets all appeared to cross the bridge.

Fortunately, the two of them are highly motivated and athletic, and they can at least bluff people when they charge.

At present, the Clippers can use the eight main players. Glenn Rice occasionally performs well when he is in good condition.

Odom's start was tepid, and among the few players left on the team, he was the one most affected by the system changes.

If it weren't for the craziness of the tiebreaker in last season's finals, his opening performance coupled with his quasi-maximum salary contract that just took effect would have been scolded by the fans.

But it was precisely because of that game that Clippers fans were extremely tolerant of him.

Anyway, in Ballmer's opinion, seven years of maximum salary to buy a championship is worth it.

And there is one thing about Odom that makes the whole team very satisfied - he doesn't play randomly.An all-around player who can dominate everything on his own when the team's offensive system is not yet sound will do more damage to the team than those blacksmiths who keep shooting!

As for the offensive aspect of positional warfare, the conventional play style of singles + interspersed movement is still used.

...

After 5 easy games, a strong enemy is coming!
On November 11, the Clippers came to the Indianapolis Conseco Arena to challenge the Pacers away.

After the players from the two teams entered the field, Li Ao looked at Larry Brown on the opposite bench...

Carlisle played offensive basketball last season and actually avoided the bad luck of being picked!

During the offseason, the media broke the news that during the playoffs, Larry Brown was in contact with many teams. At that time, the 76ers were not out. Some of the teams he contacted had head coaches at the time.

这事在当时引起了轩然大波，但后来有上赛季场均22分8助攻的佩顿加入湖人队、场均21分7板4.6助攻1.7抢断的马龙加入步行者队，把这事的热度盖过去了。

It was rumored that Joe Dumars of the Pistons was the most positive one, but Larry Brown felt that the Pistons, which played offensive basketball, were not suitable for him. He rejected an invitation from a friend and accepted an invitation from another friend to return to walking. team.

This made Carlisle shut up for a while - did I not stand tall enough?

But Joe Dumas's ability to make popular connections is nothing to say, and he managed to coax Carlisle into doing well.

The Pacers introduced Malone and Brad Miller in one go, and this season's lineup is extremely luxurious!
The starting lineup includes Tinsley, Larry Hughes, Reggie Miller, Raheem, and Brad Miller. The substitute lineup includes Malone, Anthony Johnson, Kenny Anderson, Austin Crohill, Jonathan Bender, Fred Jones, Scott Pollard…

There is a precedent for Jordan playing as the sixth man, and Malone doesn't mind playing as a substitute when he gets to the Pacers.

The main reason is that Rahim is very good at being a good person. He made three pushes and three concessions, indicating that the two seniors Reggie Miller and Malone were more worthy of starting. This gave Malone enough face. Malone said that he would retire if he was not allowed to play as a substitute. , Rahim had no choice but to continue playing the starting lineup.

This group of players must be capable and experienced. Even if they are coached by Larry Brown, their offensive ability has reached the league average.

The defensive end has jumped to the top five levels in the league under the leadership of Larry Brown, and is still on the rise.

The Pacers have currently played 6 games, with 4 wins and 2 losses, temporarily ranking first in the Eastern Conference.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the Clippers and the Pacers started a fierce defensive battle.

This time, Larry Brown taught Gentry a lesson. 89-83, the Pacers ended the Clippers' 6-game winning streak!

李敖30投13中，其中三分球2中0，加上7中7的罚球，拿到33分5板3助攻2抢断3盖帽；

基德15投5中，其中三分球3中0，加上4中3的罚球，拿到13分9板6助攻；小奥尼尔拿到8分14板……

不敌22分的拉希姆、13分7板3助攻的布拉德-米勒、12分2助攻的雷吉-米勒、11分5助攻的肯尼-安德森、13分14板的马龙。

Losing due to stubborn defense was a big blow to the Clippers players.

This lack of outstanding singles ability is clearly exposed.

Li Ao is okay, his iron is a bit weak, but he has good physical strength, can shoot a lot, and can control his energy in large quantities.

O'Neal Jr. was tormented by Brad Miller, Malone, and Scott Pollard in the paint.

How to relieve worries?Just practice hard.

At noon the day after losing to the Pacers, the Clippers came to Minneapolis, the last stop of their five-game losing streak.

After Li Ao dropped off his luggage at the hotel, he immediately went to the Target Center, which is about ten minutes' walk away from the hotel, for additional training.

This time, he actually had no intention of setting an example. He just felt that his shooting last night was too poor and his long-range shooting was almost blocked, so he wanted to practice more.

But when the teammates saw their boss being so unwilling and working so hard, they also became active and ran to practice more...

This intention is good, but by the game against the Timberwolves on the 12th, the Clippers team was weak...

加内特19投14中，加上6中6的罚球，爆砍34分19板5助攻2抢断2盖帽，力压25投12中、其中三分球9中4、外加10中8的罚球拿到36分5板4助攻3抢断1盖帽的李敖。

106 to 99, the Timberwolves defeated the Clippers at home and gave their opponents two consecutive losses.

The teammates looked at the lively appearance of the boss, and then looked at themselves. The last battle of 5 consecutive guest games + brainless impulsive training resulted in a weak state... They learned one thing.

It is necessary to imitate the boss's enthusiasm and attitude of becoming more courageous after every setback, but it is not so necessary to practice with the boss. It depends on the situation. If there is a lot of continuous home games + rest time, then practice with him, otherwise you should call him 666.

Today is different from the past. They are now a team with a core lineup, and their physical distribution is better than before.

Gentry also began to be wary of his beloved disciple's charisma - to prevent other team members from following suit and practicing more when necessary.

He never dreamed that one day he would ask his team members to stop working so hard...

Although they suffered two consecutive losses, the Clippers coaching staff and players have learned something.

...

When they lost the first game, their mentality exploded. After losing two games... they found that it was not that big of a deal. Two consecutive losses ended in consecutive away games. After the Clippers players returned to Los Angeles, their mentality calmed down and they were already in a state of shock. Put aside past wins and losses and devote yourself to training.

Three days later, on November 11, the Clippers took out their anger on the Rockets for the delay, winning 16-98 and feeling refreshed.

The Rockets have had a big promotion this year, putting Francis, Mobley, and Antonio McDyess on the shelves.

During the preseason, various teams were still very interested in the Rockets' two-shot perimeter shooter, but now no one is interested.

The Rockets management asked for too high a price. They wanted to trade Francis for top outsiders like Ray Allen and Carter; or they wanted to bring Antonio McDyess, who has been injured this year, on a rubbish contract, and they also had to give back a talented young player. Or All-Star returns.

It's not safe for Francis to make the All-Star team, so the asking price is simply too much for the Lions to ask for.

Recently, Li Ao has seen news from time to time that the Rockets are interested in this star or that star. It seems that they want to use these three players to trade for the entire league, and they are still picky. Houston intends to create a team...

But only a handful of teams responded after the start of the regular season.

On the 18th, the Clippers defeated the Nets 92-84 at home. Li Ao scored 31 points. After a season, he once again completed 6 consecutive games with 30+ points!

The last time he had 6 consecutive games with 30+ points was at the end of the 01-02 regular season.

The longest streak of 30+ games last season was 5 games.

Such a performance is inseparable from the improvement of his personal abilities and Kidd's passing.

As the season progressed, he gradually began to enjoy the happiness of Richard Jefferson and Kenyon Martin.

Defeat some opponents and be done without thinking.

On the 21st, the Clippers faced the challenge of the Spurs at home.

After two years of failure and one year of downgrade, the Spurs have successfully risen this season!

During the offseason, the Spurs introduced Turkoglu, Nesterovich, and Horry.

Formed the starting lineup of Arenas, Ginobili, Bowen, Turkoglu, Kwame Brown, Parker, Horry, Malik Rose, Nesterovich, Devin Brown, Kay Vin Willis's bench.

In the first 11 games, the Spurs achieved a record of 7 wins and 4 losses, beating the Mavericks to rank second in the Western Conference!

At 10:41 pm, after 2 hours and 41 minutes of play, the Spurs ended their 12-game losing streak against the Clippers. After 3 seasons, they finally defeated the Clippers once!
阿里纳斯18投9中，其中三分球7中3，加上9中7的罚球，拿到28分7助攻。

That unreasonable pull-up jump shot, Gerald Wallace, Li Ao, Kidd, Jaric, no one could guard it.

替补上场的帕克9投5中，拿到13分4助攻，两人携手率队拿到91分。

防守端马刺队做得也极好，限制住了快船队的反击，夸梅-布朗8投5中，加上5中3的罚球，拿到13分13板2抢断2盖帽。

Kwame Brown, who plays as a pure defensive center, showed results in his third grade!
After losing at home, the Clippers' record reached 8 wins and 3 losses, and was surpassed by the 8 wins and 2 losses of the Lakers. Due to division rules, they fell directly to third place in the Western Conference.

When the Clippers lost, only the Clippers fans were sad. Other fans were happy to see them lose.

It will be fun to watch again!
Everyone knows that every time Spider-Man loses, he will find a team to vent to.

What a coincidence, the Nuggets and Cavaliers are packed and delivered to your door!
23号，快船队主场以98比86击败掘金队，李敖21投12中，其中三分球4中2，加上12中10的罚球，拿到36分4板3助攻4抢断2盖帽。

安东尼实力还是很强的，今晚打得比上次交手时好多了，13投5中，加上4中3的罚球，拿到13分11板3助攻1抢断1盖帽。

At this time, Anthony seems to be quite agile when playing.

I don’t know what I have experienced in the future, and I have become a fat melon in the oil.

Compared to Anthony, James is much worse.

On the 25th, the Cavaliers defeated the Clippers 72-90 in an away game.

开启‘虐菜模式’的李敖，今晚继续暴走，27投14中，其中三分球5中3，加上12中11的罚球，狂轰42分4板2助攻4抢断1盖帽，新赛季首次拿到单场40+！

詹姆斯11投2中，得到两次罚球全铁，拿到4分8板4助攻2抢断。

It is worth mentioning that the Cavaliers just lost to the Lakers 85-100 yesterday, and James' performance was also quite miserable.

It's not that James is not as smart as Anthony when it comes to playing, but his current skills are too one-dimensional. He has great footwork, but if he successfully breaks into the paint, the Clippers will directly attack with a group of people and block all the routes of his dreamy footsteps.

At first, he could help the Cavaliers score by passing the ball, but as the confrontation escalated, the passing game was no longer useful.

In addition to being targeted by his opponents, James also enjoys the treatment of being held back by the 'boss'.

Ricky Davis really thought that the Cavaliers drafted James to assist him, and he would never change his style of play.

The Cavaliers have to accommodate him first and let him improve his statistics to facilitate selling.

But there are not many idiot teams this season, and no one takes over. The Cavaliers can only continue to let Ricky Davis play.

...

Abuse is indeed the best way to regulate stress. After abusing the top pick of the golden generation, the Clippers players calmed down and continued to work together.

27号，快船队客场以92比83击败超音速队，将战绩提升至11胜3负。

After the Sonics lost Payton, they collapsed.

The current SuperSonics team is a 'treasure trove' that the major teams are drooling over.

Lewis, Radmanovic, Brent Barry, Ronald Murray, Antonio Daniels, Ridnour, Potapenko...a bunch of great players.

But the owner of the Sonics is unwilling to sell out. He wants to use this lineup to attract super giants to join him and try to replicate the Nets of that year. Even if other teams offer attractive enough offers, Howard Schultz is not willing to dismantle them. Team, other team management can only curse.

Ballmer was the one who cursed, and he cursed in front of the media.

Howard Schultz is now a big shot and fights back without hesitation.

After the two started a scolding war... the stocks of both companies rose.

The day after playing the Sonics, the Clippers came to Salt Lake City.

Every time I play away games here in the past three years, Li Ao usually doesn't go out until game days.

But this time he went out and came to his senior brother's new home as a guest.

Bibby has changed his playing field, but he is still the same as before. He doesn't like to socialize. After playing, he always hangs around his wife and son.

Some people don't want to be like their father, but end up living worse than his father.

But Bibby is really completely different from the old Bibby. He doesn't want his wife and children to experience the experiences of his mother and him, so he puts his love into the family.

Little Mike Bibby has now reached the age to start practicing basketball, but his talent is really not that good. Not to mention compared to Mike Bibby, he is far behind Henry Bibby.

But Bibby was very patient when teaching his son how to play, unlike Boss Joe, who gave up after teaching him all afternoon, and was so angry that he found two Cuban models to play with and vent his anger.

After a night's rest, on November 11, the last game day of the Clippers' first game month arrived.

The Jazz's record this year is neither good nor bad. They have played 15 games and have 8 wins and 7 losses, which is borderline playoff level.

However, Jazz fans are already very satisfied with Malone's ability to perform like this after leaving the team.

They are very satisfied with the new Mike Bibby!

Bibby has been playing full duty so far this season, averaging 21.2 points, 2.8 rebounds, 6.8 assists and 1.6 steals per game, shooting 46% from the field and 39% from the three-point range. Many statistics have set career highs, and his performance is very good.

Kirilenko, who has been practicing for two years and has become the core of the frontcourt, has also performed well this season. So far this season, he has averaged 17 points, 8.1 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 2.8 blocks per game. He is the only two players in the league who average steals + blocks per game. One of the 2+2 players, the nickname Little Spider-Man is getting louder and louder.

Another player with 2+2 defensive statistics is naturally the Big Spider, averaging 2.8 steals and 2.2 blocks per game.

Where the Jazz stand out this year is their defense.

Laga Bell, DeShawn Stevenson, Jaylon Collins, Ostertag, Raul Lopez... and many other defensive heroes, under the leadership of Kirilenko, performed well Strong defense.

Bibby at the point guard position is not holding back, and Stockton plays an excellent defense when he comes on the bench.

As a result, the Jazz allowed the eighth-lowest points in the league, averaging only 89.6 points per game.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the game between the Clippers and Jazz started at the Energy Solution Arena.

Gentry and Sloan didn't test it, they just fought to the death!
In the four quarters of the game, the two teams each scored more than 20 points in only one quarter, which is incredible!

基里连科今年防守端终于能和真-蜘蛛侠掰掰手腕了，虽然得分表现拉垮，全场12投仅4中，加上3中2的罚球才拿到10分，但还有8板4助攻3抢断3盖帽！

Bibby was really stable, and even with such a defensive performance, he still shot 17 of 8 from the field, scoring 20 points and 6 assists.

但面对拿到22分4板6助攻3抢断2盖帽的李敖、19分11板7助攻的基德、17分8板2助攻4盖帽的小奥尼尔，爵士队还是败下阵来。

83比77，快船队6分险胜，将战绩提升至12胜3负！
Bibby finally felt how terrifying his old club was after its rise!
In people's eyes, this year's Clippers team is not as strong as last season or the 01-02 season, but in his eyes now, they are still like a mountain to look up to.

On November 11, after the Grizzlies defeated the Timberwolves 30-102 at home, all games in the first game month were played, and the performance of each team and player in the first month was all finalized.

In terms of record, the East Pacers and West Lakers both have 13 wins and 3 losses, tied for first in the league.

开季体重148公斤的奥尼尔，当真伤不起，60.1%的命中率场均拿到25.5分11板3助攻2.8盖帽，踏进内线如同炸鱼！
Kobe's scoring has plummeted this year, averaging 24 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.7 steals per game.

Because he has Payton beside him, who averages 16.2 points and 6.8 assists per game.

There is another reason why the OK combination's scores have plummeted - the league's overall defense has risen to another level.

In the first month, the average points gained and lost per game by all NBA teams set a new low since 1976!Averaged only 93.8 points per game!A sharp drop of 2.4 points from last season!
In such an environment, the scores of the top scorers have dropped significantly. After a month of playing, only 5 players averaged 25 points per game.

Iverson is second with 26.2 points per game, Carter is third with 25.8 points per game, O'Neal is fourth with 25.5 points per game, and Peja is fifth with 25 points per game.

But there is one player who is a special case. His scoring has skyrocketed this season!
Li Ao played 15 games in the first month, and his shooting percentage dropped from over 5% last season to 46%. His three-point shooting percentage also dropped by 1 percentage point, but he averaged 31.8 points per game!
15场比赛，他有10场30+，其中包括1场40+，而且这些30+有好几场是大号30+！

Kidd's arrival is still steadily promoting the team's offense, but it has an immediate impact on Li Ao's scoring, bringing Li Ao's top off-the-ball ability and outstanding counterattack ability to the extreme!

Jordan was lying on his back... Barkley yelled at the camera: "Michael, you delayed Spider-Man from winning the scoring title!"
