“Competitors starting from scratch:
Goal 1: The hosts need to limit Gilbert Arenas' shooting percentage below his season average.
Reward: 1000 achievement points.
Goal 2: The host must make more field goals than Gilbert Arenas in this game.
Reward: Mid-range shooting related skills.”
“The dark horse is poised:
Goal: The host needs to help the team defeat the University of Arizona Wildcats and win half of the divisional civil war.
Reward: Basic attribute points*3.”
Li Ao took one look at the second task and ignored it.
He will definitely try his best to help the team win tonight.
The difficulty is all on the first task.
The difficulty in limiting Arenas' shooting percentage is that Arenas has just exploded, and Arenas' average shooting percentage in the division is not high, 41.6% in 7 games.
It is no exaggeration to describe it as a wave of investment.
However, Arenas's low average shooting percentage has become a difficulty in this task. Arenas has already scored 11 points on 5-of-7 shooting in 7 minutes.
To get it lower than 41.6%... As for the second goal, he glanced at it, and just like the second task, he didn't think about it anymore.
I didn’t think too much about it. Although the task was important, winning was more important!
After the timeout, Li Ao played with Granville, Shelby Jordan, White Mamba, and Charles.
The Wildcats made personnel adjustments, with Luke Walton replacing Richard Jefferson, Gardner, Arenas, Michael Wright, and Woods who did not defend the White Mamba well tonight.
The Trojans attack, and White Mamba passes the ball to Granville in the middle line.
Li Ao saw that it was Arenas who was guarding him. He glanced at Granville and quietly pointed at his destination. After receiving a response, he started running.
After the White Mamba served, he came to the left side of the three-second zone, and Charles pulled him out to pick and roll him.
The Wildcats' defensive attention was focused on Granville's breakthrough and White Mamba's flanking play. Li Ao, who ran to the right baseline, did not pull to the high post area. When he saw Woods following Charles out to defend the pick-and-roll, he suddenly
He turned around and ran towards the basket.
Arenas retreated continuously. Li Ao reached the right side of the three-second zone and received Granville's through pass from the top arc. He stepped forward, jumped up, and hit a layup!
Luke Walton, who immediately moved in when he noticed Li Ao running back, was a beat too late and failed to successfully defend.
Luke Walton glanced at Arenas and silently picked up the ball and served.
He didn't dare to ask or tell.
As long as Arenas provides a counterattack for this ball when Li Ao is running back, or if Li Ao reaches close range and interferes with the pass, he will be able to make up for it!
Just like Li Ao's impression, Arenas hates confrontation on the defensive end, especially opponents who are larger than him, and has no defensive enthusiasm.
He tried to take advantage of this and rush inside, and it worked! However, the hot first shooting touch of the "perfect warm-up" was also consumed in this offense.
The reason why he didn't choose to upgrade the 'Perfect Warm-up' was because the probability of using it was not as high as initially expected.
During the transition between offense and defense, after Arenas arrived in the frontcourt, Li Ao immediately followed up, trying to interfere with the opponent's ball.
After Gardner arrived in the frontcourt, Arenas quickly started running back, got rid of Li Ao's defense, and received the ball from Gardner.
This explosion accelerated too fast!
However, Li Ao was not discouraged and immediately posted again.
Arenas cross-stepped and changed direction to break through. Li Ao couldn't stop him. He turned around and defended to block Arenas's shooting space. Arenas accelerated suddenly and braked midway. Li Ao anticipated the opponent's move, struggled to stop his feet, and pounced.
Go back and reach out to interfere.
But Arenas' emergency stop was too horizontal. With a speed of 93 and an explosive acceleration of 95, he stopped as soon as he said he wanted to stop. Moreover, it seemed that he was not affected by inertia. After the emergency stop, he pulled up directly and jumped very high!
When Li Ao reached out to Arenas's shooting point, the ball had already flown over his head...
The ball lightly touched the inside of the basket and fell into the frame.
Hit again!
Arenas scored 9 points in a row!
Li Ao's head was spinning rapidly. This was too horizontal. This accuracy was simply unreasonable. This breakthrough and emergency stop could not be prevented by normal defense. He had to change his mind...
When he came to the frontcourt, he put aside how to defend himself and devoted himself to attacking.
He continued to move around the baseline as he did in the previous round.
Charles once again pulled out to cooperate with White Mamba in a pick-and-roll without the ball. The Wildcats' defense adjusted, Michael Wright chased after him, and Woods stayed at the basket.
Shelby Jordan saw this and ran diagonally to the left of the free throw line from a short distance.
Block Li Ao with defender(x)
Block the completely unguarded ‘Little Ranbir’ (√)
Woods made a choice to move his feet.
The three teammates in the frontcourt contained the opponent's frontcourt defense, and Li Ao once again ran back and cut to the basket.
After Luke Walton was blocked by Charles, he ignored him. He returned to the three-second zone and moved ahead to block Li Ao from catching the ball and beating Arenas.
With top talent in support, he has no problem analyzing the opponent's offense. When he sees the opponent's movements, he knows that the opponent is creating an opportunity for Li Ao to attack Arenas alone inside.
But the ball didn't come in as Luke Walton expected!
He quickly turned around and looked, and sure enough, Granville passed Gardner and rushed in!
He turned around to make up for it, Granville scored the ball, and Li Ao pushed Arenas past the ball and made a layup!
21 to 20, the Trojans once again took the lead.
Kevin Henderson on the sidelines praised: "Leo's offensive sense is really keen."
It is rare that Henry Bibby does not use force, because this is the best part of Li Ao's talent.
This was evident in the opening game. Even though his ability was not good and he had no running skills, Li Ao could still find good opportunities by relying on his instincts.
On the court, Woods yelled at Arenas: "You block him! The girls in the nightclub will give a symbolic resistance!"
Luke Walton didn't dare to say anything, but Woods didn't.
Who isn’t a genius anymore?
After Granville broke into the free throw line, he immediately went to the basket, and his work was in vain.
He had a good relationship with the expelled Ruben Douglas and immediately seized the opportunity to criticize Arenas.
Arenas immediately retorted: "Shut up! I don't need you to teach me how to play!"
Li Ao, who was running back, heard shouting at each other and wondered if this was an internal fight?
But looking at Arenas running over quickly with a murderous look on his face...probably not.
This is probably the standard atmosphere of the team where the man with the gun is playing.
Arenas was obviously more active. As soon as Gardner advanced to the frontcourt at a high pace, Arenas opened his hand and asked for the ball as soon as he passed the center line.
He wants to use points to shut up Woods!
This is how he responded to his teammates' questions!
Li Ao pressed forward to interfere, and Arenas used his excellent explosive power to receive the ball again.
Just when Arenas was about to use Li Ao to press the defense and easily pass the opponent, the sense of oppression disappeared!
Li Ao took a step back and stepped on the three-point line to defend!
Arenas cross-stepped and changed direction. Li Ao did not move in a hurry, but just took small steps in the direction of Arenas' change of direction.
Without any early movement, Li Ao was completely unable to prevent Arenas from breaking through. Arenas passed Li Ao and entered the three-point line more easily than in the previous round.
Li Ao quickly turned around to pursue the defense. Without predicting the move, he was not affected by the inertia after being shaken away. He turned around and caught up faster than the previous round, trying hard to cover Arenas' emergency stop jumper space.
After Arenas reached the free throw line on the right side of the three-second zone, he stopped suddenly, retreated, escaped from the area covered by Li Ao, and also avoided Shelby Jordan's defense!
Without spending too much effort on breaking through this link, Arenas' emergency stop and retreat movements were even faster!
One step outside the free throw line, Arenas took a long two-point shot...
"Bang..."
The ball went wide!
White Mamba protects the defensive rebound.
He was very surprised. Seeing Li Ao being easily defeated by Arenas, he felt frustrated.
Unexpectedly, the other party suddenly became iron-clad!
Li Ao ran forward excitedly. He admitted that there was an element of gambling.
He knew he didn't have the ability to lock down Arenas, and Arenas was in such good shape that he made all kinds of difficult shots.
To be continued...
