Chapter 343 343. Thompson's Discomfort
With five consecutive away games in the Southwest Division and first place in the Eastern Conference, Liu Ren scored 40 points in six consecutive games. Liu Ren's scoring ability has already made many people recognize his scoring ability. Even basketball fans who hate him and reject him cannot refute him. Already really have the strength to win the scoring champion.

With an average of 31.2 points per game, Liu Ren has surpassed Durant.

However, Liu Ren's boast this time was too big.

The Warriors are not as easy to deal with as the Eagles!

The last time the Lakers played against the Warriors, the Lakers exhausted all their efforts to defeat the Warriors. Coupled with the Warriors' huge progress this year, everyone believes that the two teams are at the same level.

After losing to the Lakers, the Eagles defeated the Grizzlies in an away game, and they have been labeled as a pseudo-strong team.

You can only abuse food in the East, and stop cooking when you meet a strong team in the West. This is the new impression fans have of the Eagles these days.

Nationally, many people hate Liu Ren, and thus hate the Lakers, outside of California they may receive a lot of boos.

But in California, in Los Angeles, Liu Ren is already a heroic figure.

No matter how many helpers the Lakers have found for Liu Ren, no matter how old and strong Kobe and Gasol are, there is no one else who led the Lakers to rise again in the first half of last season, but Liu Ren!

This is the territory of the Lakers and Liu Ren's headquarters. Now the Lakers fans are at war with the United States. Curry dares to provoke Liu Ren, so they will not be polite!

With 12 consecutive victories, the Lakers fans are now in full swing. Although some Kobe fans are dissatisfied with him because of the conflict between Liu Ren and Kobe, they can't deny Liu Ren's key role in this team. They still give Liu Ren the same at home. Huge cheers.

But Curry is different. He was originally in California, and he was very angry in Los Angeles. In the past, he would receive some cheers in Los Angeles.

Curry doesn't care about this. His number of fans has increased by more than 40 in the past few days, almost catching up with last year and a half!

And he knows that he is really not authentic this time, if the Lakers fans want to boo him, just boo him!
But another guy on the Warriors side was upset.

"Hey, you want us finished?" Thompson was very upset.

This year Thompson, like Curry, played phenomenal performances. He thought that his popularity would rise sharply. Who knew that no matter how well they played this year, not many people paid attention to them. All eyes were attracted to the Lakers!

"Steve, shouldn't we let them know who is the leader in the Western Conference today? They are really kicking their noses when they win a game against us." Thompson said very unhappy.

Thompson is a native of Los Angeles. He grew up watching Lakers games and had a heart of wanting to go to the Lakers since he was a child.

In 2010, Thompson was preparing to participate in the draft early. He had been expecting the Lakers to trade a first-round pick to select him. He was ready. If the Lakers traded Shannon Brown and Artest for a first-round pick, even the first For the late picks, he will issue a statement to participate in the draft, and declare that he is only willing to go to the Lakers, and even let the wind out.

But the Lakers had just won two consecutive championships that year, and they were unwilling to dismantle the team lineup and did not choose to trade, which made him brood and feel ashamed.

This is the same as Pierce, who has always been a Lakers fan. Pierce went over the wall to watch the Lakers game when he was a child, but was later selected by the Celtics, the mortal enemy of the Lakers, and later became the main murderer who slaughtered the Lakers in 08.

Now Thompson is like this. For this reason, he can almost be said to hate the Lakers. Just now Cole deliberately told them what Barkley and O'Neal said on TV, and Thompson exploded all at once.

"Ahem, don't worry so much about this kind of thing, only a normal mind can exert its strongest strength." Curry said with a strange expression.

"Hey, Los Angeles is not as good as a chicken without Kobe. Now they only dare to talk big because of Kobe's popularity. Today we will show them what is called Splash Brothers." Thompson said disdainfully.

Curry did not continue to talk, he was adjusting his state.

I'm sorry, Liu Rengui, I'm sorry, but isn't this Curry's method to arouse Liu Ren's greatest fighting spirit?
If you want to fight Liu Ren, you have to fight the strongest Liu Ren, otherwise what's the point of the game?
……

The Staples Center was packed as usual today, and most of the fans were rarely seen wearing home fans to prove their solidarity.

Lakers fans have always been known as the least united fans, because there are too many stars in their team, it is inevitable that there will be differences within the team.

But recently the Lakers are the target of public criticism. The fans of Kobe and Liu Ren can argue internally, but most of the time they are consistent externally!

Lakers starters: Jeremy Lin, Kobe Bryant, Liu Ren, Gasol, Green.

Warriors starting: Curry, Thompson, Iguodala, Randall, Bogut.

Gasol and Bogut jumped the ball. Facing the 05 No. [-] pick, Gasol easily passed the ball to Jeremy Lin. Jeremy Lin advanced to the frontcourt, and the Lakers took the lead in attacking.

"Liu, you attack the inside first and cause damage to their Australian center." This is D'Antoni's arrangement before playing.

The Lakers' strategy is very clear. If the opponent's inside defense is blocked and the opponent loses the biggest barrier, the Lakers' offense will be much easier.

Under the guidance of Cole, the Warriors are approaching the balance of offense and defense. Needless to say, the offense has the Splash Brothers, and their offense is the strongest in the league.

Their defense is in full order, with Thompson and Iguodala on the outside, Bogut on the inside, Barnes and Livingston on the bench, and Randall's rampant defense is sometimes effective. In the forefront of the league.

If the Lakers send Bogut off the field, the chances of the Lakers winning will be greatly increased.

Jeremy Lin handed the ball to Liu Ren after halftime, Liu Ren resolutely carried out the task, observed the opponent's defense, and prepared to break through.

It was not Iguodala who defended Liu Ren. Cole was a little disappointed with Iguodala. When he first came, he expected Iguodala to take on more responsibilities and play defense at the level of the best defensive team. Due to his contributions during the Nuggets period, Iguodala did not play as well as his substitute Barnes, averaging only 24 points in 6 minutes per game. It can be said that Iguodala has become a representative figure of high salary and low ability.

Iguodala's sidelines are getting worse and worse this year, and he has started playing health-preserving balls as Liu Ren remembers, and his average data per game has once again dropped lower than his rookie season.

Iguodala's defense is barely okay now. Relying on his physical fitness and previous defensive deterrence, he can still defend against some non-star players. Spray to death.

Cole often lamented that being a coach is not as free as being a commentator. You can do whatever you want as long as it is not illegal. As a coach, there are many things to worry about, such as management, player relations, and fans... Wait, there are many factors to consider.
