super small forward

Chapter 224 224. Someone Steals the Show
Although Whiteside is not as good as Yao Ming on the offensive end, he may be better on the defensive end and rebounding than Yao Ming!Howard is not the Howard of the past. He lost his explosive power in the past. He met Whiteside just like he met Yao Ming back then. Except that he could make up defense on the defensive end, everything else was blown up.

The Thunder completely lost in the interior defense. Green showed the defensive awareness of the best defensive player in the future, and combined with Antetokounmpo and Whiteside to turn the interior into a no-fly zone.

The Lakers players are also pitiful. The coach doesn't care about defense, they have to figure out how to do it themselves. Fortunately, these players are all players with excellent defensive talents. After working together for a season, they suddenly found a good defensive method. After the general integration, the defense of the Lakers' second team was upgraded again, forcing the Thunder to only shoot outside.No matter how accurate Durant is, he is the only one. After Ibaka's reimbursement for the regular season, they only have Perkins and Adams inside. A center out of the era and a rookie, they are not the opponents of the future superstars of the Lakers. Even Whiteside, who has always been eager to attack, scored 20 points. The Lakers led the Thunder 42 to 15 in the three-second zone. Durant's 40 points were completely useless.

59 wins and 19 losses, 60 wins are only one step away!
……

Hua An has a good saying, the so-called sympathy is uncontrollable. After Liu Ren and Curry cooperated in the All-Star Game last time, they looked at each other like a bastard and Mung Bean. They both have a good impression of each other. Friends who haven't seen each other for many years are generally familiar.

"The first two games you rested surprised me. Now you are sure that you are second in the league and can't catch up with the 62-win Spurs. I thought you were going to rest today. It would be too boring without you in this game. .” Curry made no secret of his fighting spirit.

"Haha, even if the coach puts me on the bench against you, I will smash the bench to play!" Liu Ren was also full of fighting spirit.

Green and others played well in the previous two games, Liu Ren was half happy and half eager to play.

Green, Antetokounmpo, Whiteside, and Thackeray, who has progressed beyond expectations and is likely to become a high-quality substitute in the future, played so well, Liu Ren is full of expectations for the future insider.

However, Liu Ren was very envious of these people's wanton display of their talents on the court, wishing to go on the court and tyrannize their opponents together.

These four guys are all players with excellent defensive talents. No matter which two of them Liu Ren partners with, he can form a super strong inside no-fly zone!

Finally, D'Antoni did not continue to let the three veterans and Liu Ren rest in this match that may be the opponent in the first round of the playoffs, but played with all members!

Now the Lakers are all healthy except for No.16 player Henry who is confirmed to be reimbursed for the season and is outside the quota. Kaman and Marshall are completely abandoned and placed outside the active list. The lineup is so deep that other teams jealous.

The starting lineup of the Lakers changed, with Nash, Kobe, Liu Ren, Gasol and Green starting together.

The Warriors started with Curry, Thompson, Iguodala, David Lee and Bogut.

The current lineup of the Lakers has such a small shortcoming. Except for Whiteside, other inside jumpers are average.

Gasol lost to Bogut on a jump ball and the Warriors went first.

From this year to now, the Warriors have only one outside offensive routine, and that is Curry's singles.

Thompson and Iguodala stretched to the two corners, David Lee was in the middle distance, and Bogut was in the low post.

Iguodala has been in the Warriors for almost a season, averaging only 8.6 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game. All statistics are career lows, not even as good as his rookie season, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that he is not happy to be seen The head coach was screwed. In terms of strength, he is the player with the strongest offensive ability in the Warriors, but Mark Jackson only gave him the role of pitcher and defense, and he would not use this type of small forward at all.

The Warriors have played for a season, and their record is neither good nor bad. There is a feeling that it is not satisfactory. Compared with last season, there is not much improvement. The team added Iguodala, who has a 4-year 4400 million contract, and he is still in place. , Mark Jackson's current position is almost lost.

Curry's first attack was of course by himself.

It was Liu Ren who defended Curry. He tried his best to give Curry physical contact, but Curry did not back down at all. In his eyes, using it was an opportunity. In the eyes of others, there was no chance to shoot a three-pointer at an angle!

hit!

Liu Ren shook his head really helplessly, this guy has been so accurate since the first day he saw him.

"I said it, I said it, I am the most accurate, no one can guard me!" Curry said loudly.

"Don't be complacent, let me perform next!"

Liu Ren was aroused by Curry to score, and was about to return one to Curry, but someone was mischievous, and directly hit Curry with a three-pointer after halftime.

Curry's defense is naturally not Liu Ren, a guy with super impact, nor Nash, a guy who likes to run around, but the single-player wave-shooting male scumbag.

Liu Ren is ready to confront Curry, and Kobe comes out to steal the spotlight!

Curry just made a power play here, and before Liu Ren touched the ball, Kobe exploded first!
Kobe first hit Curry with a three-pointer, then double-teamed Curry from behind when Curry singled Liu Ren, and then counterattacked with two-handed dunks to score two points.

Kobe made a strong attack and blinded Curry who was defending him. In his opinion, Kobe should have a good rest today. The playoffs will be soon. Anyway, the coach told him so, just like the last game they played against the Spurs , Although the troika is on board, they are all playing soy sauce. The Spurs rely on Leonard and a group of substitutes to win.

Both the Lakers and the Spurs are teams led by veterans. According to Curry's knowledge, the two teams should be the same, because they play similarly. They are both offensively crushing the Warriors and defensively unable to guard him.

Well, in Curry's view, his personal offense is about the same as every team's defense in the league...

Kobe Bryant has played 33 games since his comeback this year, and his statistics have not declined much. He averaged 24 points, 4.9 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game. Let everyone forget that it has been less than a year since he ruptured his Achilles tendon!
It was almost exactly this time last year, and Kobe faced the Warriors on this court, broke his Achilles tendon, and laid the foundation for the victory of that game and the team's entry into the playoffs.

But it was also that game that caused Kobe's overwhelmed body to overload and collapse...

But who is Kobe?

A super paranoid, one year later, he encountered the Warriors in this place again today, and he chose to use an explosion to eliminate the shadow left by last year!
