super small forward

Chapter 35. Chapter 35
From going abroad in obscurity, to becoming famous all over the world.

Unlike preseason games where many people may not pay attention to whoever wins, in the regular season, especially at the beginning of the regular season, amazing performances can attract a lot of attention.

Whiteside has achieved instant fame today.

In the third quarter, Liu Ren played 4 minutes on the court and then clocked out. Today, Liu Ren only scored 19 points. Seeing Liu Ren's unhappy face, D'Antoni kept comforting him: "The teammates played so well. They fight more to build their confidence, and you will be even better as a helper in the future, right? Tomorrow we will fight the Warriors back to back..."

To put it bluntly, D'Antoni was the one who appeased Liu Ren. He had already learned how to coax Howard last year. Otherwise, with Howard's strange temper that could quarrel with Van Gundy, he could have played the whole season without making a fuss?
Want to talk about why Liu Ren only played 4 minutes in the third quarter and was replaced after only one shot?
Blame Whiteside and Nick Young for that.

The two who didn't play much in the first half played a spinning jump at the beginning of the third quarter. You close your eyes... Ahem, Nick Young first spun his opponent with a spinning top, and then hit the opponent with a three-point shot. 3+1, unlike Liu Ren, he added a penalty and made a shot, directly pulling the point difference to 20 points.

Immediately after Nick Young's defensive loophole put Crawford inside, Whiteside's hot pot feast was given to the Super Six. Liu Ren and Jordan Hill took turns rushing into the interior, and then ran back, messing up the Clippers defense. Whiteside, who followed up, received the ball and dunked the ball into the basket across Griffin. This is not accurate The opponent is out of position to block the dunk, but Griffin is there to block the block, Whiteside and Griffin collide, and then the ball is dunked to the basket.

This, Griffin bounces very high, has a good sense of blocking, and stretches his hands to the ball. It can be blocked by Jordan.

However, Griffin is short-handed!Twenty centimeters higher than Whiteside's jumping height, but only touched Whiteside's small arm!
As a result, the bloody and brutal death button appeared, and Griffin, who had always used others as the background before, became the most gorgeous background.

This dunk is very morale-boosting. Farmer actively steals the Clippers backup point guard Collison. In the counterattack, Nick Young scored another three-pointer. A hot pot for Griffin, a short hand.

The Lakers played a wave of 8-0.

Whiteside's expression of indifference as if he was walking, and the feeling of not wanting to use any more energy, the effect is surprisingly good. It is a kind of appearance that I want to hat you to make the Clippers angry, and then give Whiteside Seid had 4 blocks in 6 minutes!
However, the Clippers felt terrible on the outside today. They missed 15 more three-pointers in the half, so they were beaten by the Lakers 15 to 2, and the point difference came to 30 points.

Then Liu Ren clocked out of get off work in three quarters.

Only Liu Ren and Gasol can be regarded as the absolute main force in the Lakers lineup. The others can be rotated. The festival became a hot chicken time, and the Lakers finally beat their opponents 125 to 97.

With 16 points, 16 rebounds and 10 blocks, Whiteside scored a triple-double in 22 minutes of playing time, and still blocked a triple-double, and suddenly became the most popular player in the opening game.

Whiteside, who has experienced so many ups and downs, looked very calm when surrounded by reporters, and said something that some people regarded as a joke: "In 2k14, players with only 56 abilities can get triple-doubles. I play At the time, I thought that those players with high ability value were very good."

And after the game, he tweeted 2k's official tweet on his Twitter: "My ability value is only 56? Is it a typo?"

The Lakers' victory over the Clippers in the opening game is far less exciting than Whiteside's large triple-double off the bench. Now that the Lakers have not experienced three consecutive years of not making the playoffs, people think that their victory over the Clippers is a matter of course Things, Whiteside's ultra-high efficiency is the focus of attention.

Whiteside luck or Lakers luck?Is it because the players got lucky and broke out, or did the team really pick up the treasure?
Fans had a large-scale discussion on this seemingly boring topic of Liu Ren.From Liu Ren's point of view, no matter what the outcome of their discussion is, isn't it because the Lakers are lucky?
Liu Ren is very puzzled that Whiteside will attract so much attention. He remembers that Whiteside's performance in the Heat is not worse than now, or has he performed like this for a consecutive season, but has not attracted so much attention?
This has something to do with the market. For example, he and Jeremy Lin are in the Lakers and the other is in New York. Only after playing a few good games can they attract so much attention. They have a big contract, a starting position and an endorsement contract. They can be replaced by other teams. There are no such good things.

Whiteside attracted attention this time, just to maximize the attention he can attract.

After playing the Clippers, the Lakers ushered in the Oakland Warriors back to back.

Before the start of the season, the idea of ​​many teams towards the Lakers was to beat the dog in the water, and everyone had this idea.

The same goes for the Warriors.

But after they finished the preseason game with the Lakers, they realized that this was not the case!The opponent is still the same as before, a fierce tiger!

This kind of psychological collapse is worse than knowing that the opponent is very powerful but can't beat him. If he is ready to bully the opponent, but is abused by the opponent, this kind of thing is even more damaging to morale.

In this game, the Warriors didn't feel that they had much hope of winning. When Liu Ren, with the mentality that he hadn't played yesterday, smashed David Lee's dunk in the paint twice in a row, their last bit of confidence was defeated. .

Liu Ren is like a ferocious beast in the interior, hitting the interior with all kinds of force, constantly attacking the basket.

Liu Ren and Gasol came to the edge of the three-second zone after a pick-and-roll, and David Lee was defending him. Seeing this soft guy, Liu Ren pressed the opponent, and pointed at the basket to Bazemore, who was in possession of the ball outside. .

Bazemore is also bold, passing the lob pass just like that.

Liu Ren pressed David Lee, pulled up on the spot, and pressed the ball into the basket through David Lee Kong.

The Lakers fans were dumbfounded!Even the players on the field were frightened and stupid, can they still play like this?

Who was the last person to play like this?Still a Lakers player, this is how Shaq O'Neal played during the three consecutive championships!But that was the most ferocious behemoth in history with a height of 300 meters and a weight of 100 pounds, while Liu Ren was just a thin small forward weighing less than [-] kilograms!
