super small forward

Chapter 3 3. Moment of Career Crisis
For marginal players, the coaching staff generally does not give too many requirements. First of all, the strength is at that level, and it is unrealistic for them to fulfill many requirements.Secondly, the fringe players are not only unfamiliar with their opponents, but in fact, because their teammates rarely cooperate on the court, they occasionally surprise their teammates with a flash of inspiration on the court.

So when Liu Ren played, Lakers head coach D'Antoni didn't have any special arrangements. He thought that if he relied on the point guard's independent attack, there might be unexpected results, especially after Jeremy Lin, who had saved his coaching career, appeared. Liu Ren was replaced at the last moment of this very critical game because he had great expectations for the Chinese point guard.

Generally speaking, D'Antoni is very satisfied with Liu Ren's performance in these two rounds. D'Antoni doesn't care about Curry. I appreciate it.

The Warriors continued to attack and learned the lesson just now. This time, Liu Renfa clung to Curry tightly, preventing Curry from shooting without giving the opponent space to shoot or jumping.

Liu Ren hit right this time. He was ready to chase after being forced to defend, but Curry directly stepped back and made a strong three-pointer.

Miss!

Liu Ren admired Curry's daring to shoot, and then watched Clark, a [-]-meter small forward, counterattack and score a dunk.

Warriors head coach Mark Jackson called a timeout.

This ball is not to be blamed on Curry. The opponent has a pair of twin towers, Gasol and Howard inside. Unless Liu Ren is swayed and then stops for a jumper, otherwise he rushes in like this and falls into a front and rear double-team. .

The most important thing is that there are only more than 30 seconds left in the game time. When Liu Ren saw the game time, he realized why Curry was so anxious to shoot.Just now the Warriors were only one point behind 112 to 113. Curry was very confident in his shooting. Since he had no chance to hit two points steadily, he chose to believe in his touch and shoot a three-pointer. offensive opportunity.

It's a pity that the goal was not scored, but was counterattacked by the Lakers, trailing by three points 112 to 115.

As Curry missed another strong three-pointer in the next round, the Warriors could only make a tactical foul to send Blake to the free throw line.

Blake made free throws very steadily, did not give the opponent a chance, and steadily opened the point difference to 5 points, and the game completely lost suspense.

Too many things happened in just a few minutes, Liu Ren was still dazed. As a bench player, it didn't matter whether he won the game or not. At most, a few domestic reporters came to interview him.

The biggest focus of today's game is not the game itself, Kobe's injury is the focus, Liu Ren, a second-round pick who can't be supported, didn't relax until he was sent back to his rented apartment by the team bus, and began to feel uneasy stand up.

"Just like this, you traveled back to 2013?" Liu Ren's super long reflex arc began to feel uneasy.

The brain has been in a state of excitement just now, and the state of excitement does not only refer to excitement, but confusion is also a kind of excitement.

After recovering, Liu Ren took a look at the apartment he rented. It’s a nice small apartment. A house of about 30 square meters is about 100 square meters. There is a bedroom, a large living room, a small room full of fitness equipment, and two bathrooms. , overall not bad.

Pull out your phone, big Samsung?I cursed and said, actually use this, I heard it will explode!Fortunately, there is no password, so I can use it when I buy a Nokia next time.

Liu Ren thought silently.

December 2013, 4.

Turn on the computer again, the time is still April 4th, and he can understand all the English websites for some reason.

Went out and bought a quick meal, then bought drinks and snacks.

It's not that Liu Ren is greedy, but he wants to confirm in all aspects. He has really time-traveled, no matter whether he is happy or unhappy, he must seriously confirm this matter.

In the end, he confirmed that he traveled to 2013 with an indescribable feeling.

After a big meal of junk food, Liu Ren threw away all the junk food at home. Since he wanted to be a professional player, he had to start preparing from such a small place. Do this during the season.

After accepting the reality, Liu Ren was suddenly extremely tired and fell asleep as soon as he went back to the bedroom.

……

This night seemed very long. Liu Ren had a very long dream. He fell in love with basketball after watching NBA live broadcasts in elementary school. He came to California when he was in junior high school. He also studied in California in high school. At the age of 16, he wanted to go to college. Playing basketball, the high school students in Southern California are not at all his opponents with excellent physical skills.

As he wished, he came to the University of Michigan to join the Wolverines, and finally entered the NBA smoothly.

But after arriving in the NBA, all the previous glory disappeared, and there was no playing time. This is normal, but the most terrifying thing is self-confidence.

He is a very standard Chinese. One of the characteristics of Chinese people is the fear of idols.

Few Chinese would say that they want to surpass their idols, as if Chinese history is like this, always feel that the predecessors are the most powerful and cannot be surpassed, this is part of the dross of Confucianism, but it has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, 90.00% nine When Chinese people see their idols, they only think that the opponent is good, and they can't bear the idea of ​​defeating the opponent in their hearts.

Liu Ren is like this. Over time, his confidence has been eroded a little bit. The Lakers chose him for the Chinese market. After all, Kobe is old and has few years to play. The Chinese market attracted by Kobe needs someone to take care of it.The second is that Liu Ren does have some talent, a second-round pick is a gamble.

Seeing that the two-year contract is coming to an end, the patience of the Lakers management is almost exhausted. The management has almost made plans to abandon him at the end of the season. Surprising strength, super speed and explosive power are all attractive, but an overly restrained personality is really not suitable for the NBA. There have been many precedents in the NBA. There have been many examples of outstanding talent but just can't play...

……

When Liu Ren woke up, after the memory fusion in his mind, he became a brand new Liu Ren, who mainly inherited the thoughts of Liu Ren from his previous life, and inherited that part of the memory.

"It seems that my appearance replaced Darius Morris who should have been selected?" Liu Ren's first reaction after waking up to his own identity was to turn on the computer and check the team's lineup, and the Lakers lineup of the 2012-2013 season in memory After comparing it, I found that what I replaced was the unsupportable second-round pick Darius Morris.

His and Zhong Darius Morris came out of the University of Michigan, and in his own memory, he also graduated from the University of Michigan.

"That is to say, I transmigrated into Morris, and then this Morris was a Chinese? No, it was Morris who became Liu Ren, and I, who was also called Liu Ren, transmigrated into Liu Ren?" Liu Ren's head started to storm. , and crash...

……

After resting at home for a day, on April 4th, the penultimate game of the Lakers this season started tonight.

The Lakers did not dare to lose in the last two games. No matter which game they lose, they are in danger of being squeezed out of the playoff team.

There are many good things about being in Los Angeles, but there are also many bad things. For example, Liu Ren ran out to buy a lot of junk food in the middle of the night the day before yesterday, and was photographed by the paparazzi.

Although Liu Ren is not a star, he is at least a Lakers player and usually has a lot of exposure.

From the matter of buying junk food, the media actually mentioned professionalism, and then they even mentioned the injured Kobe.

Similar to what Liu Ren experienced, Kobe suffered a torn Achilles tendon that time, and it was certain that he would not be able to play the next game, and at least six months of recovery would be required.

The media is also hypocritical, saying that Kobe is still in the mood to eat junk food after being injured.

When Liu Ren saw the news, tens of thousands of alpacas ran by in his heart. Kobe's injury had something to do with labor and management willing to fight chickens!
By the way, these media also began to list the players that the Lakers may stay in the post-Kobe era.

Kobe’s reimbursement has confirmed the failure of the Big Four. The bad relationship between Howard and Kobe has been put on the table. Nash is 40 years old. There is no way to expect him to make too much contribution. Jamison, who hugged his thigh, was disheartened ...

And Liu Ren belongs to the ranks that will be given up, together with another second-round pick Goodlock...

Liu Ren's mind cleared up: the current situation is a bit dangerous!It seems that the situation is very unfavorable. If you look at Morris's career trajectory, after the Lakers left, Morris basically announced that his NBA career was over and he could only go overseas.

However, Liu Ren's brain circuit is much more clear than that of the previous Liu Ren. The previous Liu Ren will definitely be hit hard when he sees the media's comments on him, and then confirms the media's statement in the game at night. The media is trustworthy. Nai's buddy.

Now Liu Ren saw the news and became agitated.

"You look down on me, don't you? I'm going to show it to you!"
