super small forward

Chapter 361 361. Equal the record!

"Randolph is no longer the former Randolph? This team is not the opponent of the Lakers. Could it be that my choice is as wrong as Liu said?"

Carter looked at what he was arguing with the coach, and he knew that the determination to win that Randolph had finally burst out in the past few years had been exhausted as his skills declined with age.

A few years ago, Randolph would ignore the victory of a game because of this kind of thing that couldn't beat him?

Sure enough, as Carter expected, Randolph was abandoned!
Randolph and Gasol were supposed to come back from a timeout, trying to fight in the last few minutes of the second quarter, but Randolph continued to try to get the coach to arrange a death defense against Liu Ren, and the enraged Coach Jogel pressed on the bench.

The Grizzlies replaced Udrih, Tony Allen, Jeff Green, Terrence Thomas, and Gasol Jr.

The Lakers also replaced some starters, Jeremy Lin, Nick Young, Liu Ren, Green, and Whiteside played.

Grizzlies ball.

The Lakers' defense was a little careless. Firstly, they were so much ahead and suffered from the noble disease again. Second, the Grizzlies would not act until there were seven or eight seconds left. This is the real reason why they suffered from the noble disease again.

but!

Only 7 seconds later, a small man from the Grizzlies reached the three-second zone and made a throw!

Whiteside was the first to react and pounce, but it was too late!
Udrih made a close-range throw!

This time it was the turn of the Lakers to stay.

Why did the Grizzlies suddenly pick up speed?

The Lakers attacked, which made the Lakers feel very weird. The Grizzlies didn't press the whole game!

Brisk rotations, focusing on rebounding inside, and no longer giving Whiteside such an easy position to grab rebounds.

For a while, the Grizzlies seemed to have completely changed a team!It seems that they did not do the bitter and bitter defense in the previous quarter and a half!
Jeremy Lin glanced at D'Antoni and asked if he wanted to play normally.

D'Antoni must make a pick-and-roll gesture, Jeremy Lin nodded, and gestured according to the tactics!
Jeremy Lin continued to pick and roll with Green, and Liu Ren still threw off Tony Allen from the right to catch the ball inside and hit the basket.

Little Gasol defended very hard, this time Liu Ren didn't pass the ball, he was suffocated!

He has been shooting three-pointers in an extremely unreliable situation, and he can't help it!

Liu Ren took off against Gasol Jr.!

Defensive foul by Gasol!He directly pressed Liu Ren's hand holding the ball, the thug fouled, and Liu Ren made two free throws!
Liu Ren made two free throws and broke 20 points at halftime!

The Grizzlies did not hesitate to choose their most familiar style of play this season. The defensive end quickly rotated to fill up, and the offensive end was brisk.

The Lakers also returned to normal play here.

Obviously, the Grizzlies can't defend against the Lakers, but the Lakers can rely on Bickerstaff's defensive system to limit the inside line, forcing the Grizzlies to only play in the middle and long distances most of the time. shoot.

The Grizzlies are working very hard, especially Gasol. Although he knows that the chance of a comeback is low, he still works hard!
He would rather lose, and would rather be the background for someone else to set a record, and he doesn't want to lose the professionalism he believes in!

at last!

Liu Ren felt relieved!

Attacking the inside to create kills, one-on-one one-on-one three-pointers from the outside, and the lob after passing the ball, he finally got a normal offensive opportunity!
Liu Ren scored 4 points in the last 6 minutes of the second quarter, 15 points in a single quarter in the third quarter, and 40 points in three quarters again!
After Liu Ren scored 40 points, the point difference has been widened to 27 points. Basically, there is no suspense. D'Antoni replaced LaVine, Clarkson, Henry, Antetokounmpo, Thackeray and others to play garbage time.

In the end, the Lakers beat the Grizzlies 106 to 90 to get 16 consecutive victories!

At the end of the first game month, the Lakers' record is a complete victory!

Liu Ren also successfully won the tenth consecutive game of 40+, ranking second in history!
……

After defeating the Grizzlies, the Lakers will soon usher in their second game month.

Compared with the relaxed schedule in the first month of competition, the competition in the second month is much tighter, but compared to last season, it is much better, and there are only 16 games in a tight schedule.

And there are not many strong teams to face. After all, teams with strong lineups and high popularity like the Lakers and Cavaliers want to increase their ratings in January, the month with the lowest ratings.

Defeating the Grizzlies to win 16 consecutive victories and Liu Ren's 40+ consecutive games naturally received a lot of praise.

But Liu Ren doesn't have the leisure time to pay attention to these things for a while. The most important thing for him at this stage is of course to break Chamberlain's record!

On December 12st and December 1nd, the Lakers went away to Detroit and Toronto in the East to challenge the Pistons and Raptors. The Pistons were still enjoying Josh Smith's confident outside shooting, and they were forced to break the record. Liu Ren scored 12 points and was brutally slaughtered.

Although the Raptors rank among the top in the Eastern Conference thanks to Dwayne Casey's team play style inherited from Popovich, they don't have an outside line that can guard Liu Ren, and they really have nothing against Liu Ren , Nor did he defend him inhumanely like the Suns and Grizzlies.

This game was relatively fierce, until the middle of the fourth quarter, relying on "Dragon Slayer" Kobe Bryant scored 4 consecutive three-pointers to widen the point difference to more than 10 points in one fell swoop. In the end, the Lakers maintained this ten-point advantage to the end. In the end, Hao won 18 consecutive victories.

And Liu Ren also scored 44 points, scoring 13+ for the 40th consecutive game, tying D'Antoni's record!
……

After the game between the Lakers and the Raptors.

Liu Ren, who has not participated in the team's press conference recently, was blocked by the team's press officer in the locker room when he wanted to leave secretly.

The Lakers press officer is Wesley Kyle, an uncle in his 40s, and a very experienced press officer.

Kyle and Liu Ren played hide-and-seek for more than half a month, and finally figured out the route of Liu Ren's "escape", and this time they caught him right.

"Boss! You have to go to the press conference today, do you know how many times Mickey scolded me? Said I can't even watch a big living person, God, doesn't he know that you are like a loach Just disappeared?" Kyle's face was full of anger.

"Is there? Mickey never told me about this! He always told me to cheer up and break the record." Liu Ren said nonsense in a serious manner.

Kupchak has repeatedly reminded him helplessly to attend the press conference. How can the hottest star in the league set records in succession and the popular star keep breaking records without attending the press conference?
"Wesley, why don't you pretend you didn't see me? Anyway, it's not the first time you've been scolded." Liu Ren laughed.

"Impossible! Either you go to the press conference with me, or I'll tell the reporters to come here. Anyway, it's spacious here, so it's okay to hold a press conference!" Kyle said angrily.

"Okay, okay, you won, let's go." Liu Ren said helplessly.

"By the way, here are some official answer templates. Take a look and learn how to answer the questions. Don't offend the media. They are dogs that can bite." Kyle kindly reminded, and put a few printed A4 The paper was handed to Liu Ren.

"Okay." Liu Ren looked at it after receiving it, and it was really official...

Liu Ren's mind started to storm again, asking him to do things he didn't want to do, and wanting him to answer the questions as written, is there such a good thing?
