super small forward

Chapter 2 2. The monster that slipped from the peak

This unlucky guy who was crossed by Liu Ren is also called Liu Ren, Chinese, born on August 1994, 8, 26 cm tall and 198 kg in weight.

His parents immigrated to the United States before he finished junior high school. Although he did not immigrate, he also obtained the right of residence in the past. He came to the United States with top grades in domestic junior high school. He found that the schools here were really weak, so he went directly to high school. After studying in high school for only two years, he took the SAT test. With good physical fitness and basketball skills, he was admitted to the University of Michigan. After finishing his sophomore year, he was not yet 18. He was the 2011st overall pick in the second round of 41. was selected by the Lakers and signed a 1+1 rookie basic salary contract.

In the past two years with the Lakers, Liu Ren has always been the administrator of the water dispenser until another Liu Renjiu who traveled over took over the magpie's nest. At his age, the older generation members of the team took good care of him, and generally speaking, his popularity was pretty good.

Jamison looked at Liu Ren on the court, with a hint of expectation in his eyes. As a 36-year-old veteran, in the NBA, except for the final obsession of the championship, other things have long been regarded as nothing, and there is a junior who can guide him. not bad.

But what puzzled Jamieson was that this polite second-year kid from the east seemed to have no confidence in himself at all!
Afraid of physical contact, most of them are scared when they see a star playing against him. Liu Ren’s character makes Jamison, a black man who grew up in the United States, can’t understand. Jamison also knows some Chinese, and of course they grew up in the United States. That kind of people are very confident, such as Jeremy Lin.

Watching Liu Ren trembling while dribbling the ball, Jamison sighed, it was like this every time, as long as he met a famous player, this kid would not know how to play.

Just when Jamison thought that Liu Ren was going to pass the ball, others also thought that Liu Ren was going to pass the ball, and when Gasol was about to mention the high post to support the ball, Liu Ren made an unexpected move!

Liu Ren is very excited now, his hands are trembling slightly, and he is singled out with Curry, this rhythm!
Pass?There is a chance to single-handedly pass the wool with Curry!

Curry bullied Liu Ren in front of him, completely ignoring Liu Ren, and even reached out to steal it directly!
He dribbled the ball behind his back and accelerated suddenly. Liu Ren changed his direction drastically and left Curry behind.

Before he had time to marvel at how easily this kind of action that he could only make when no one was defending him, he had already rushed inside.

Seeing the basket that was never so close, and the speed that he had never felt before, Liu Ren felt an impulse in his heart, and his body reacted naturally with the impulse.

Facing Bogut, who came over to make up the defense, he violently jumped up without fear, facing Bogut and dunking the ball to the basket!
"boom"

"bang"

Bogut was knocked over by Liu Ren!

The latter dunked the ball into the basket across Bogut!
The referee whistled, the goal was valid, and a penalty was added!

After Liu Ren landed, he couldn't help roaring loudly. At this moment, he had the feeling of being completely integrated into this body.

The previous owner of this body has top-notch physical fitness and excellent skills through hard training, but he is very timid. He was selected by the Lakers in the second round because of his hesitant personality when he graduated from college. But after entering the NBA, he saw that his powerful opponents were cowardly. His personality is more obvious, and the biggest dream in his heart is to get rid of his cowardly personality and dunk on the head of a big center.

Is this Liu Ren making up for the last wish of the previous Liu Ren?
Not only was Liu Ren howling loudly with excitement, although he was a little surprised that the guy who had guarded the drinking fountain for two years suddenly broke out, but the morale of the Lakers team, which was originally high because of Kobe's injury and forced to finish the free throw, skyrocketed again.Even Howard, who had an extremely bad relationship with Kobe and was very unhappy with the Lakers, was full of desire to win this game.

What's more, this game is related to whether the team can make the playoffs.

Kobe's injury can't actually be blamed on the Warriors, but it doesn't prevent them from taking their anger out on their opponents!
"It hurts!" After roaring, Liu Ren rubbed the place where he hit, and then gave high-fives to the surrounding teammates.

After high-fiving his teammates, Liu Ren calmed down and stood at the free throw line.

He felt a bit difficult after standing on the free throw line. He had never looked at the basket from this angle!
Liu Ren was not particularly tall in his previous life (let's put it this way), and he was considered short in the college team. He was able to dominate the college because of his soft touch.

Subconsciously, he bent his legs slightly according to the previous free throw action and strength, combined with the strength of his waist and abdomen to throw the ball.

"Huh?" People saw that Liu Ren's free throws were completely different from before. Although Liu Ren was a fringe player, he had played for the Lakers for two years, and his teammates and fans were already very familiar with him. It's not the same at all!
As a loyal fan of Kobe, Liu Ren is of course imitating Kobe in most of his playing movements.

The feel of the shot is very smooth, as smooth as the feeling of shooting in the previous life.

Then, Liu Ren's shot directly hit the inner backboard of the basket and bounced back, wiping the basket a little bit.

"?" Liu Ren was bewildered.

"?" His teammates were stunned.

"?" Even the opposing warriors' eyes widened.

This is too crooked!
The ball bounced directly back into Liu Ren's hands, and after a moment of stunned he immediately rushed to the basket to complete the dunk again.

111 to 110, the Lakers overtook!
Although Liu Ren is more of a second person, he is not stupid, on the contrary, he is a bit smart, and he quickly realized that his various skills and movements have not been lost, and his dribbling and breakthroughs have become better than before because of his physical fitness, but shooting is not a problem. Because of the huge increase in strength and height, Xihuo is now far less likely to hit the basket with his shots than to hit the rebound...

He is still very open-minded: "Well, it seems that I have to practice shooting from the beginning, but I should be very young. Since I have this opportunity, I will start from the beginning! And get 4 points! One offense scored 4 points. Points, it seems that I am still hanging on!"

The game continued. Curry, who came back to his senses, looked at Liu Ren's smug expression and was annoyed. Just now this guy broke through him and hit 2+2.

Curry dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and it was Liu Ren who defended him.

In the past season, Curry will undergo a transformation. The combination of man and ball has the shadow of the later MVP season. His breakthrough is not top-notch, but coupled with his sky-defying shooting ability, it is very difficult to guard.

Especially Liu Ren, a latecomer who is very afraid of Curry's shooting, is very worried about Curry's shooting.

Curry's characteristic is that the more serious the defense of his shots, the better he plays!In the next few seasons, he played more and more easily, and scoring became easier and easier. Because of this, he is an alternative to the NBA and brought the NBA into a new stage.

Originally, Curry did not have the scoring ability that he had later, and stalking could still cause him a lot of interference.

But who told Liu Ren to think of Curry as the Curry three years later? Although he was full of energy and wanted to defend Curry, he was still swayed by the opponent's fake move and rushed in. A mid-range shot from the free throw line.

Just as Liu Ren shook his head to catch the serve, a contemptuous voice came.

"Little trick boy, this is the real score!"

Curry obviously regarded Liu Ren's previous free throw error as intentional.

Looking at Curry's back, Liu Ren became furious for a while, and then thought that he was a little bluffed when he defended just now, and became even more furious.

The game continued, Liu Ren held the ball.

This time Curry's defense was not so careless, not far or close, and not bad footwork. Bogut on the inside also concentrated on preparing to help defend this time.

Mark Jackson's defensive system for the Warriors has been formed this year. Curry is the weakest part of the Warriors' defensive lineup. Klay Thompson at the second position and Richard Jeffer at the small forward position Sen, Landry at the power forward position, and center Bogut are all good defensively. Relying on excellent defensive rotation is enough to make up for Curry's shortcomings.

Liu Ren has a great advantage. He has a good view of the overall situation. He once dreamed of becoming a professional player, so when he played, he liked to score and pass the ball well. His friends all liked to be teammates with him.

Who doesn't like a teammate with outstanding strength and willingness to pass the ball.

Liu Ren gestured for Howard to come out for the pick-and-roll.

Howard did come out, but when Liu Ren was about to use his cover to cut in, he rushed inside without blocking Curry.

Not only did Liu Ren not get rid of Curry, but Bogut, who was defended, made dumplings.

"Depend on!"

Only then did Liu Ren remember that Howard doesn't know how to pick and roll at all!The best period of his play was to rely on his physical fitness to grab rebounds inside and make a second attack, and he shot wildly from the outside.

Now that his physical fitness is far from the peak, Howard, who lost the ability to grab rebounds and dunks inside, suddenly made a sharp turn, and imitated Stoudemire's pick-and-roll, catch-and-roll and hard-dunk style of play.But he seems to have turned his head. Stoudemire has a mid-range, pick-and-roll stability, and his dribbling ability is among the best among power forwards. Not everyone can learn it.

Moreover, Stoudemire's explosive power at his peak was not inferior to Howard's at his peak. This kind of imitation can be described as imitation.

Even Nash said that he couldn't play a happy pick-and-roll center. Liu Ren could only resign himself to such a center.

In desperation, Liu Ren could only pass the ball to Howard who ran into the inside and beckoned for the ball again.

The position where Howard received the ball had just stepped into the three-second zone. Without the mid-range, he took the ball and dribbled a step inside and rushed in to prepare for a dunk.

Then, Howard was cut once, and Landry patted the ball with a palm. Thanks to Gasol, who was preparing to meet Howard, he picked up the ball and put it to the basket.

The fans cheered Gasol, but Howard sounded like he was taunting him, and he turned back to the defense with a gloomy look in his eyes.
