super small forward

Chapter 13 13. The End of the Precarious Curtain Call

Liu Ren knocked away Parsons who was blocking the basket, pulled it up on the spot, and swung the ball into the basket with one hand.

Parsons looked at Liu Ren with incredulous eyes. He was raped several times, but he still felt so inconceivable.

"How is this possible!" Parsons couldn't believe that he was 230 meters and weighed 90 pounds, but he couldn't stop the little Chinese man who was less than [-] meters and less than [-] kilograms in front of him!

"I'm sorry, I'm playing handsome again." Liu Ren said to Parsons in a mocking tone.

Liu Ren found that his strongest point was not his speed and jumping, but his strength that didn't match his body!Although he hasn't really tested how strong his own strength is, he knows that the few opponents he has encountered so far, Thompson, Leonard, and Parsons, three strong forwards and swingmen with good strength, are not as good as him.

Therefore, as long as Liu Ren is facing Parsons, he will use his strength to crush his opponent.

Liu Ren is a cheapskate, stingy kind, if someone offends him, as long as he can bully his opponent, he will bully him to death.

Moreover, the NBA is a small circle with 30 teams. According to Liu Ren's memory, Parsons has been in the West for three years, which is a smaller circle with only 15 teams. met on.If you can completely destroy the opponent's confidence in a certain game, so that the opponent does not have the courage to win every time they meet you, that is really great.

Fearing someone who may become a long-term opponent in the future is of great benefit to the career.

It is said that Jordan will fight to the death when he meets the Utah Shuangsha and Barkley, because both of them are very strong, and they lose their confidence. When they fight in the future, there will always be a little inexplicable advantage in it.

Just like when the Rockets met the Jazz at the beginning of the century, the Rockets were obviously stronger in many cases, but they were eaten to death by the Jazz.

Under the pressure of Liu Ren again and again, Parsons collapsed at this point. Jeremy Lin didn't have the ball, and he couldn't play the organization and strong play ability he once had in the Knicks. The ball was in the hands of Harden and Parsons. After Parsons collapsed, only Harden was left, and the Rockets were beaten by the Lakers led by Howard and Liu Ren.

When Liu Ren scored 25 points again and Howard got the 20th rebound of the game, the Rockets knew that the general situation was over.

Morey, general manager of the Rockets, looked at Howard on the field with envy. After losing Yao Ming, the inside of the Rockets has been ravaged over and over again. Looking at the teams that can be called strong teams in the West, they all have at least one insider at the All-Star level.The Thunder's Ibaka, the Spurs' Duncan, the Mavericks' Nowitzki, the Grizzlies' black and white bears, the Clippers' Griffin, and if the Lakers are considered a strong team, they have Gasol and Howard. The Blazers have Aldridge, even the Kings have Cousins, and the Pelicans have Anthony Davis.

"If we had a center like Howard, would we still be afraid of the Lakers?" Morey sighed.

"Then why didn't you offer an offer to Howard? I heard that he didn't have a good time in the Lakers. Can't you recruit him in the summer?" Alexander asked suspiciously.

"Boss, Howard is reluctant to part with the prosperity of Los Angeles." Morey smiled wryly. He has no confidence in poaching from the Lakers. Even though Houston is also a big city, Texas has no state tax.But that's the Lakers!It is the Lakers who poach the corners of others, and to poach the corners of the Lakers, it is no less difficult than poaching James!

And there is no state tax in Texas. It sounds good to say, but the state tax is only about 5.00%, and the state tax in California is only [-]%. Compared with the endorsement contract brought by the attention of playing for the Lakers, that little State tax drizzle okay!
This is the key to Morey's lack of confidence and the Lakers.

"Oh, but it's better to quote a price than not to quote. What if Howard really comes? When we traded McGrady back then, we never thought that McGrady would agree to renew his contract with us, but he did not." Alexander I am very open to being rejected and slapped in the face. The most important thing is to get attention and make money. Howard was once the All-Star ticket king. In Alexander's view, he is a mobile money printing machine.

"I see, boss." Morey replied helplessly.

"By the way, what's the name of No. 1 on the opposite side?" Alexander's eyes lit up. "Oh, it's Liu. If there is a chance, he will be recruited."

Alexander, who has been sweetened by Yao Ming, wants to sign all Chinese players to his team, it's all money!In Alexander's eyes, China was a treasury.

"Okay, boss." Morey said helplessly.

It's not that he's afraid of being rejected and slapped in the face, but that he's afraid of froze the relationship with the Lakers management!
Morey is very young, the so-called people go to high places, he also has a career plan as a general manager. As one of the NBA's facade teams and the second highest market value team in the entire NBA, he has always been the general manager of the Lakers. Very jealous.Lakers general manager Kupchak will soon be 60 years old, and Morey has just turned 40 years old. If he has the opportunity, he will definitely leave.

Morey knew clearly that with a boss like Alexander, his power had reached the limit it could achieve, and it was impossible for Alexander to give him more power.As for the Lakers management, although the bosses and siblings are fighting for power, the power given by the general manager is so great that most team managements are jealous. As the general manager of the team, it is difficult to think about success.

Morey, who once served as the deputy general manager of the Celtics, knows this deeply. In Morey's view, Angie's mediocre ability and the players' frustrating operations can be done impressively. It is the sign of the Celtics.Look at the Celtics before the formation of the Big Three. They couldn't be any worse. But relying on the fame of the Celtics, they got Garnett from the Timberwolves and used the news that they could get Garnett to attract Ray- Allen turned over all of a sudden.

I really don't want to have any trouble with the Lakers, but Morey knows the character of Alexander, a miser, and the character of a speculator makes Alexander unwilling to miss any opportunity that can bring benefits to the team.Morey knew that even if he didn't want to offend the Lakers management, he had to make an offer to Howard and let Alexander see this, otherwise Alexander would definitely be dissatisfied.

Compared with the future, the current job is more important.

The big comeback is a good show that the Lakers often stage in the second half of this season. Before, Kobe fought against the team alone. This time, Howard, who played hard, and the explosive newcomer Liu Ren teamed up to achieve the same effect, knocking the Rockets over. God, in the fourth quarter, he successfully played a wave of climax. Although Harden, who has just become a star, has good statistics, he does not have the ability to turn the tide. Compared with Howard's ability to form a system, Harden still has a period of time The gap, even if it is only Howard at the tail end of the peak, is not comparable to Harden now.

20 of 12 shots, 26 points, 5 rebounds and 3 steals. Liu Ren scored 25+5 data for the second consecutive game. The poor free throws were only 10 of 2, which surprised the Lakers. You must know that Liu Ren was different before. If you can't do anything, just make free throws as steady as a weight.

Maybe it's the impact of the inside fight that caused the feeling to be abnormal?D'Antoni thought so.

"Gary, it seems that Liu has to train his body stronger this summer, he's too thin." D'Antoni said to Gary Vidi on the side.

"I'm going to get ready," Gary Viddy replied.

D'Antoni has decided to persuade head coach Kupchak and Liu Ren to renew his contract. After two games, D'Antoni is sure that Liu Ren is a hidden talent like Jeremy Lin, suffering from no chance to play.

Now that Liu Ren is playing brilliantly, and the Lakers have always wanted to find a representative player who will keep the attention of the Chinese market after Kobe, a rookie trained by himself like Liu Ren is naturally the best choice.

D'Antoni is not at all worried that Liu Ren will go to another team next season. Liu Ren played so well in these two games, and he will definitely attract the attention of many teams. This is what he expected, but no matter how many teams If they want Liu Ren, the Lakers can match the contract offered by the other party.

If there is really a team that gives a poison contract like the Rockets...it is going to rain, there is no way.

Howard scored double 20 for the second consecutive game, as if returning to the peak of the 08-09 season.

D'Antoni is very happy now, this season is ruined, but it doesn't matter, just start over next season.Howard recovered. Gasol mentioned that the high-post support is much better than Clark, and he also has long-range shooting ability. Kobe communicated well after returning from injury. The impact of coming...

The beauty is very beautiful, and D'Antoni has begun to imagine the future.

However, things are obviously not as good as D'Antoni thought.

Howard was losing his temper again.
