super small forward

Chapter 383 383. Consecutive 40+ is gone
One-on-one defense against Kobe, Evans' palms were already sweating, and one of the three defenses before was defended by Anthony Davis.

After receiving the ball, Kobe crushed it with strength. Kobe is one of the most powerful guards. Only Harden and Wade can compete with him. He turned back and shot a jumper!Hit!Liu Ren added one assist.

Bryant hit his fifth on Evans, his 17th of the game, for 48 points.

Kobe scored the 48th point, and the Lakers have led the Pelicans by 101 points 81 to 20.

Just 2 minutes into the fourth quarter, the game is about to enter garbage time.

Liu Ren's offensive end was completely ignored by Kobe, relying on offensive rebounds and Kobe's rest, he scored 14 shots, hit 8 balls and scored 22 points, and passed a few balls to Kobe. Liu Ren added a few assists.

Anthony Davis struggled to make a shot at the basket, and after he missed, he desperately grabbed the rebound.

In the inside competition with Whiteside, Anthony Davis did not take much advantage. In addition to this rebound, Anthony Davis grabbed 11 rebounds and Whiteside had 12 rebounds, both of which were better than their respective average rebounds per game. Low.

In the entanglement between the two, Liu Ren made a profit and grabbed 13 rebounds.

At this time, Anthony Davis and Whiteside, who had been fighting for two hours, could no longer jump. At this time, the so-called hard talents, that is, height and wingspan played a role.

Anthony Davis, with his super long wingspan, plays high and throws the ball into the basket.

Here Whiteside also made a high kick, and used the same method to score on Anthony Davis' head.

Anthony Davis and Whiteside are expected to have a long career like Garnett and Duncan, because of this, their hard talent is so good.

Jumping and explosive power will slowly decline with age, but height and wingspan will not!
Duncan at the age of 37 and Garnett at the age of 36 were still able to enter the All-Stars, relying on the hard talent of height and arm length plus more than ten years of experience and skills, this thing cannot be taken away by time.

Many inside stars who rely on bouncing and explosive power to play rely on their bodies and win big contracts when they are young, and then drop sharply when they are over 30 years old, and even become garbage contracts after they are injured. 32, 33 years old, there is no The team wants or signs a basic salary to wander around, and Stoudemire has this tendency.

And Duncan and Garnett, who are 36 and seven years old, can still get big contracts of tens of millions. This is the gap.

The game continues.

As Kobe made a three-pointer with Whiteside covering the ball, Monty Williams had no choice but to call a timeout, replaced the main lineup, and announced his surrender.

The players of the Pelicans have played very well. The offensive end has played better than usual, but the defensive end is completely different from what was imagined. The guy who focuses on defense has completely become a role player in this game, and the Lakers The center of gravity of the offense has become Kobe.

The change of the Lakers completely disrupted Monty Williams' plan. He felt that it would be exhausting to continue playing. The unstoppable Kobe appeared again, so the main players should rest more for the last penultimate game of the day after tomorrow's trip to the Pacific Division. Opponent Phoenix Suns.

D'Antoni also replaced the main force, leaving Green on the court with Clarkson, LaVine, Antetokounmpo, and Thackeray as four substitutes.

Kobe was a little upset when he got off the court, and he wanted to make a few more shots.

The audience stood up happily, laughed and cheered. Today, Kobe not only won the iron king of history, but also scored 50+ again. This is also the 26th time in his career that he scored 50+!It is also the oldest 50+ player since Jordan!

The famous Hollywood director Nicholson also waved to the Lakers generals and fans at this time, and left the arena early.

As a super fan of the Lakers, Nicholson has an exclusive best viewing position at the Lakers home court. The Lakers "gifted" this position to him, and only he can sit in this seat.

Nicholson has a very special thing about watching the game. If he thinks the team will win, he will leave the stadium early and go home.

This is not impolite, he is expressing his absolute trust in the team!It seems to say that you are playing with such an opponent, so I won't watch it.

The Lakers and Lakers fans have long known this and sent him off.

All the scenes were robbed, Liu Ren looked at the statistics, 22 points and 13 rebounds...

"My consecutive 40+!" Liu Ren was crying...

……

……

The Lakers easily defeated the Pelicans 129 to 115. This is not big news. It is big news that Kobe became the iron king of history.

At the same time, Kobe Bryant scored 51 points unexpectedly, and Liu Ren's 40+ points in a row was terminated by the Pelicans who did not have any good perimeter defenders. These are big news.

And there is no live broadcast of such a game on TV!

All the fans who wanted to watch the excitement exploded, and ran to the official websites of major TV stations to scold.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck! You guys don't broadcast such a game! I want to see that bastard Liu get terminated for 40+ in a row!"

"God has eyes! That nasty bastard finally stopped recording!"

"But even if his record is terminated, it will not help, because he is already the first in history with 40+ in a row."

"But I want to see that scene! Go to his ESPN, aren't Hei Liu and Hei Huren usually the most slanderous? Today such a good opportunity is not broadcast?"

"It's normal for Liu not to get 40+. This is retribution! Tell him to disrespect his seniors."

"However, Korver's arrival in the Lakers is considered ruined. Liu will definitely not let Korver just because he is a senior. No, Korver didn't even get a minute of playing time today."

"Upstairs, can you come up with something new if you blackmail others? Just repeat that sentence..."

"..."

"..."

After so many games, due to the record of the Lakers and Liu Ren's outstanding performance, most of the people who black Liu Ren have turned off.

It's not that Liu Ren has conquered them. Just kidding, even players like Kobe and James who have won consecutive championships can't conquer those sunspots. Liu Ren is a little bit worse.

These people just don't have a chance now. After all, even if the Lakers lost to the Wizards, it was an important factor that the "big three" Kobe, Gasol, and Nash didn't play.

They just temporarily suppress their flags and drums, waiting for a more violent eruption later.

The Lakers won, which is gratifying to the Lakers management and coaching staff. Kobe has set a new record. Although it is not a very good record, it is a record stolen from the Celtics. I also feel gratified.

The most important thing is that Liu Ren didn't consume much today. He only played 26 minutes and took only 14 shots, which greatly relieved the fatigue caused by his average playing time of nearly 20 minutes per game in the first 40 games.

……

……

Office of the Lakers general manager.

D'Antoni, Bickerstaff and Kupchak are all in there.

Kupchak looked at today's playing timetable and said with satisfaction: "Mike, you did a good job in today's game. Liu's playing time should be controlled slowly."

"I know that Liu's recent state is not as hot as the beginning. It seems that he can score [-] to [-] points in each game, but in terms of efficiency, there has been a big decline," D'Antoni paused and continued, "This has a lot to do with the increase in his playing time and the defense that opponents pay more attention to him. I don't think it will be long before he will receive the same defensive treatment as Kobe did."

"So we have to protect Liu better and not let him have physical problems." Kupchak emphasized.

D'Antoni nodded: "Of course, our current lineup is already very strong, and there are sufficient manpower in every position. I think Liu's playing time should be around 33 minutes. After all, he is only 21 years old. Without very good three-point ability, he can't take on Liu's role in opening up space to attract defense in the rotation lineup. Now that we have Korver, Liu can rest a lot of time in the second quarter."

Speaking of this, Kupchak frowned: "By the way, did Liu and Korver have conflicts? This is what I am most worried about. Although I know that the Eagles intend to sell Korver, I actually don't I support this deal, but this is Jenny's suggestion, and the two of you also supported it, so I traded him over."

D'Antoni showed a weird smile, and said in Kupchak's inexplicable eyes: "You would never have imagined that the two of them get along so well."

"What's going on?" Kupchak didn't respond.

D'Antoni told Kupchak that Korver bought his teammates with a bunch of gifts, including Liu Ren, and Kupchak was speechless. This group of people really has no morals !

But this is the best result.

"That's just right, using Korver's three-point ability to free up Liu's playing time." Kupchak is getting more and more satisfied with the lineup.

"OK, I will slowly adjust Liu's playing time, and control it to an average of 33 to 34 minutes per game." D'Antoni responded.

Bickerstaff, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up: "But I just don't know if our boss will be happy. You should all know that he is a data addict and how obsessed he is with his own data."

"I think he should understand...probably!"
