Chapter 367 367. The Difficult Guy

This is Liu Ren's bad taste, something that has been passed down from the NBA since the past - trash talk.

Trash talk is useful, especially the kind that says it and does it.

Just like Larry Bird, he pointed to a place and said to the opponent's defensive player when the team was behind and only needed a three-pointer to kill: "I'm going to kill you right here."

Then Bird really hit the jackpot.

Bird's words put pressure on the opponent. The next time they meet Bird, they will naturally panic about Bird holding the ball. This is a guy who can shoot wherever he wants!
Liu Ren's trash talk made Olynyk fearful, which was more direct than Bird's. Bird was originally the top three-pointer in history, and lore is normal, but he can make shots wherever he wants, and it is very easy scary.

But Liu Ren is a defender, he just jumped up in front of a center to make a dunk, knocked the center into the air, and reminded the center where to bounce the ball.

This brought too much fear to the person involved. In Olynik's eyes, Liu Ren was just playing with him, hitting him however he wanted.

More importantly, Olynik has seen the video of Liu Ren dunking Howard's strong dunk, and now he is afraid, those pictures of Liu Ren's highlights of dunking big centers all appear in Olynik's mind.

Due to fear, Olynik's shots were not accurate, and he became completely invisible. The Celtics became a 4-on-5 situation.

Liu Ren grabbed the rebounds in the interior very well, and even grabbed the rebounds of Gasol and Rondo.

In the 7th minute of the first quarter, the referee blew his whistle when the ball was dead and entered an official timeout.

20 to 6, the Lakers are completely crushing performance!

"Kobe, let me tell you that you think too much. They are not the Celtics they used to be. Beating them is easier than training." Liu Ren said, hooking Kobe's shoulder.

That is, Liu Ren, Gasol, and Nash dared to do this, and others dared not even speak loudly to Kobe.

Kobe didn't speak, but Gasol spoke: "We still have to be careful, they are our only mortal enemy no matter what."

mortal enemy?
Liu Ren is noncommittal. Judging from the history of the team, this is indeed the case, but he doesn't think there is anything worthy of his attention in the current Celtics. The gap between the two teams is too big. This year, the Celtics will at most compete in the Eastern Conference. Looking at the playoff position, there is no threat at all to the strong teams in the West.

Back from the timeout, D'Antoni made an early substitution.

The Lakers replaced McCollum, Nick Young, Liu Ren, Antetokounmpo, and Whiteside.

The Celtics also made substitutions, rookies Smart, Turner, Bradley, Sullinger, Teddy Zeller.

The Celtics lineup is simply a blood change!
Completely changed the style of the lineup from the starting lineup!

After Liu Ren played, he found that Bradley was facing him!
Seeing the Celtic lineup, Liu Ren felt a little excited.

The embryonic form of the Celtics' iron-blooded lineup in the future!The Celtics' young head coach Stevens really started to transform the Celtics.

Rondo felt that Stevens was targeting him, depriving him of the ball.

But Liu Ren knew that this was because Rondo was not in Coach Stevens' plan at all. Not only Rondo wanted to leave, but Stevens also had a headache for Rondo, a player with some thorny performances. Do it all the time and start the reconstruction plan early.

The Lakers attack.

McCollum handed the ball to Liu Ren and pulled it away.

Liu Ren singles Bradley.

Liu Ren is almost a head taller than Bradley, the height gap is too big, and Bradley is not that kind of speed player, his strength can only be said to be good for a guard, and it is far behind Liu Ren .

After Liu Ren changed direction, he drove Bradley away and entered the inside line.

but!

Bradley didn't retreat after being knocked away, but stuck up again.

Dog skin plaster defense!
In this era when defensive players are becoming more and more 3D and shooting has become a popular trend, few young players defend like this!

Although Liu Ren knew from his future memory that Bradley would be a defensive first-team player in the future, he really didn't know that Bradley was actually this type of defensive player.

This is the most difficult defensive player to deal with. They may not be fast enough, their strength may not be top-notch, and their defensive awareness may not be top-notch, but they are difficult to deal with!And there are so many little moves!

really!

Liu Ren stopped subconsciously, and Bradley's foot had already stretched out in front of him. If he continued to accelerate, he might be tripped directly!
This action!Liu Ren was a little angry!An arm pushes Bradley away.

"Beep..."

The chief referee whistles, offensive foul!

Bradley puts on an innocent face, like he's the one being bullied.

"M...B!" Liu Ren held back his anger and turned back to defend. He knew that this was the home court of the Celtics, and it was impossible for the referee to give him a star whistle.

"What's wrong with the boss?" McCollum asked strangely. He didn't know why Liu Ren raised his elbow suddenly in anger, but Liu Ren did have an angry expression just now.

"It's okay, the guy on the other side has a lot of tricks, so be careful." Liu Ren reminded.

It was only then that Liu Ren remembered that the future Celtics had indeed become one of the top four teams in the Eastern Conference, but the reputation was not very good because they had a lot of players with a lot of tricks!

The future may come to the Celtics' Thomas Jr., this year's rookie Smart, and the future perimeter defender Bradley. This is the Celtics' black-footed trio!
Celtics attack.

Not to mention, the offense of the Celtics lineup with a big change... really sucks!
Pick-and-roll... no, drive... no, pass it back and forth to big Zeller.

Zeller held up high and hit Whiteside very confidently, but was slapped down by Whiteside standing up.

At this moment, Sullinger, the flexible and fat man, just picked up the ball, squeezed to the basket and made a layup.

"When did this guy appear?" Whiteside froze for a moment, but didn't pay much attention.

The Lakers feel that this guy is lucky.

The Lakers were attacking, and Liu Ren continued to attack with the ball. This time, he was playing singles from outside the three-point line, ready to make a three-pointer.

At this moment, he saw Bradley stretching his feet, the purpose was too obvious!This is telling Liu Ren that if you shoot a three-pointer, I will put my feet under your feet!

"Boy, do you want to fight? Believe it or not I can give you a taste of brains with one punch?" Liu Ren gritted his teeth.

Bradley looked at the referee with an innocent look, meaning: This guy threatened me with words.

"Damn!" That's why Liu Ren hates this kind of difficult guy the most!
