super small forward

Chapter 436 436. Victory!
Liu Ren's best strength crushing breakthrough lost its effect in front of James.

"LeBron, I have to admit that you are very strong." Liu Ren had no way to break through, so he used words to divert James' attention.

"You are also very strong. This is the first time I have encountered a situation where someone used their body against me but I was a bit unstoppable." James is famous in the league for being easy to get along with. Hearing Liu Ren's praise, he immediately responded with a compliment. .

Just when James finished speaking, Liu Ren suddenly accelerated and rushed from the right side, but James' big man blocked Liu Ren again, and the two of them hit each other with a 'bang', muscle to muscle, and each retreated halfway step.

"I didn't expect you to look so thin but have such strength, but you can't distract me. I've heard all kinds of trash talk in the past few years." James laughed.

It turns out that James has long had a clear insight into Liu Ren's offensive intentions. As another perimeter player who almost won the best defensive player, James' defensive ability can be ranked at the forefront in history.

The 11-12 season was almost the year when James' offense and defense reached the peak of his career. If it weren't for offending most of the media outside of ESPN in the summer of 10, James would definitely win the best defensive player that year.

Seeing the time pass by second by second, the 24-second attack time is coming.

pass?Liu Ren has no such plan.

Fight!Liu Ren took a step to the right and made a direct jump shot!

If Liu Ren has an absolute advantage over James in terms of physical fitness, it is the jumping height. James is at the peak now, and the two have almost the same bullet speed and explosive power. It might overthrow James directly. As for Liu Ren's flexibility and aerial work ability, it will not be reflected at all if he does not break through to the inside.

The only physical advantage that Liu Ren can use is the jumping height!

James reacted immediately when Liu Ren moved laterally, reaching the target position with almost the same frequency as Liu Ren, and blocked Liu Ren's shot.

But James took off with all his strength, but he was still a palm away from Liu Ren's release point. Liu Ren's bounce was too terrifying, and James' historical level of bounce paled in comparison to Liu Ren.

Liu Ren made a long-distance mid-range shot from within the three-point line. He was not sure about the shot, saying that the mid-range shot was too far, and that the three-pointer was a little closer. It was an awkward shooting position.

The arc of the ball is very flat, which is much flatter than the usual shooting arc, because the defender is James, and Liu Ren seldom takes such a complete jump shot when he usually shoots. It is clear that he jumped up with all his strength before making a move, and the strength of the injury was not well controlled.

However, Liu Ren was very lucky. This embarrassing shot hit the backboard, hit the backboard head-on, rebounded and fell into the basket.

Except for the one in the opening game when James was not paying attention, after Liu Ren secretly blocked a shot from behind, James became more cautious and didn't give Liu Ren a chance.

James can't guard Liu Ren, and Liu Ren can't guard James either!
James’ offense this year is different from the previous two years in the Heat. During the Heat, the James team required him to play a power forward or even a center to fight against the opponent’s inside line. He is really an outside line, but he must play inside, so He's been gaining weight throughout his Heat days.

Speaking of which, when James played power forward, he was nearly ten kilograms heavier than center Bosh.

After James returned to the Cavaliers last summer, he finally didn’t have to play inside, and started to lose weight and reduce carbohydrate intake. Because he was 30 years old, he no longer ate those high-calorie junk foods, such as his favorite burgers and French fries Waiting for food.

To say that these top NBA players are monsters, gain weight when they want to gain weight, and lose weight when they want to lose weight.

Now James' body shape has basically returned to the body shape of the Cavaliers in the 09-10 season before he went to the Heat, and he has become the perfect combination of strength, speed, explosive power and technology.

Liu Ren can't break through James, because Liu Ren's breakthrough basically depends on his physical fitness, but it's much easier for James to break through Liu Ren.

Liu Ren has competed with Tyreke Evans, who is known as Little James. Evans has done a good job in rhythm and body utilization, and Liu Ren has no way to guard against him one-on-one.

The genuine version of James was stronger than Evans in terms of rhythm and use of physical conditions. After a lot of effort, Liu Ren was unable to defend James in the end, and James successfully broke into the inside line.

James drew Gasol's defensive attention with an underhanded pass to Love, who scored a two-handed dunk.

The Lakers continued to attack.

If Liu Ren breaks through, there is no way to break through James' defense. This is an objective fact. Liu Ren doesn't want to admit it, but there is no way this is the fact.

But Liu Ren found a solution after thinking about it.

Men should play singles inside!

This time it was the Lakers' turn to attack, and Liu Ren rarely took the initiative to fall to the low post to ask for the ball.

"This is?" Before James could react, he saw the little man in front of him leaning on his back. He immediately realized that Liu Ren was going to forcefully crush him. He remembered that he saw the rocket in the live broadcast. After the tragic experience of the two insiders of the team, they immediately tried their best to stand up and meet the opponent's impact.

The fans at the scene saw Liu Ren being suppressed by James, and unconsciously their hearts hung in their throats. Before they knew it, they seemed to forget that this game was their long-awaited 23vs24. They felt that the duel between Liu Ren and James was really exciting.

Now seeing Liu Ren using the "strange trick" he used in the last match against the Rockets, he immediately cheered.

Liu Ren took a deep breath and hit with all his strength.

James finally feels now how powerful this player who can score 40+ in more than a dozen games in a row is. Among other things, this heaven-defying power is simply unbearable!

James used his whole body strength, coupled with his weight advantage, and was knocked back half a step.

Seeing that the opponent's second impact was about to come, James recharged his energy and stabilized his center of gravity to meet the second impact.

Liu Ren looked at James' actions, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. His second impact trend was a fake action!
Liu Ren suddenly turned around lamely, so lamely that he almost fainted, but he still managed to bypass James without touching James, and went straight to the inside.

"Oops! It's been tricked!" When James reacted, he could only watch helplessly as he rushed into his interior and ignored his defender's Tomahawk dunk.

Seeing the helpless faces of Thompson and Love on the inside, James felt chilled. The two insiders are useless except grabbing rebounds, and Love's ability to grab rebounds this year is much worse than last season. I can't even get doubles.

"This young man is really strong. If he is not good at technology, he can use other aspects to make up for it. He has a good brain." Although James was teased by Liu Ren, he admired Liu Ren even more. There are fewer and fewer young players like Liu Ren Yes, most young people nowadays are mainly functional players.

James is very disappointed with most young people nowadays, because now they will have a single skill, can defend, and can get a high salary. He misses himself even more when he was young. The league is full of top stars. He misses that every game can have The era of an opponent on a par with him is not like now, every team has so many high-paid players, but each of them has nothing to do with the word star.

For example, if you can make three-pointers and are willing to defend, you are called a 3D player, and if you can only defend and attack the inside, you are called a defensive vanguard.

James will definitely return after being beaten. It is much easier for him to break through Liu Ren than Liu Ren to break through him. You don’t need to play tricks and use tactics, just use the perfect combination of technology and body to break through easily, break through to the inside line, and hide with a lever. After chasing and defending Liu Ren who came in from behind, he picked the basket and scored.

The Lakers continued to attack, and Liu Ren leaned on James again, hitting back with all his strength.

Reapplying the old technique?

James fully met Liu Ren's first impact, and was ready to move left or right at any time before Liu Ren's second impact, so as to prevent Liu Ren's turning and cutting, but in this way his center of gravity and strength Not enough to resist Liu Ren's impact!
Liu Ren judged James' defensive intentions, so he didn't stop. The second impact was beyond James' expectation, and he directly hit him.

Because James was not prepared for the impact, he was knocked back a big step, and James was not given a chance to react. Liu Ren's third and fourth impacts followed immediately, and James was knocked back steadily.

Liu Ren pushed James to a position close to the reasonable collision zone!
Liu Ren counted from the back up, and at the last moment of the 5-second time limit for the back up, he hooked the ball toward the backboard... The iconic short-range throw was easily hit.

"Although I'm not good at technique, I'm no worse than you when it comes to taking advantage of my body." Liu Ren didn't say anything, but he was very proud of himself.

Liu Ren and James fell into a stalemate. The two were basically equal in terms of offensive destructive power. You hit one and I hit the other, and the two basically canceled out.

But in this way, the Cavaliers are obviously in a passive position. Irving is already very strong, but he is not Kobe's opponent. Gasol and Love are almost the same. Especially efficiency.

The bench lineup composed of Antetokounmpo, McCollum, Korver, Jeremy Lin and others is also much stronger than the Cavaliers' bench. Can't live.

The strongest point of the Cavaliers, James, was offset by Liu Ren, the strongest point of the Lakers. James went up, and Liu Ren went up. At the critical moment of the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers trailed by 84 points 97 to 13.

It's time for the Cavaliers to attack again.

James rushed forward with the ball and attracted Korver who was defending Irving. Irving went to do an off-ball pick-and-roll for Miller. Miller received a pass from James and made a three-pointer.

87 to 97, the point difference finally caught up to 10 points, with 3 minutes left in the game, there is still a chance.

Next, the Cavaliers played a wave of chasing points, James broke through continuously to attract double-teams, and relied on James' ability to attract double-teams to tie the score!
James scored and assisted consecutively, scored 2 points and 5 assists in 3 minutes, helping the Cavaliers play a wave of 14 to 4 and tie the score!

James was panting heavily to defend Liu Ren. From the beginning of the game, the two had been in constant confrontation, muscle collisions, strength contests, and the sweat that flowed down could take a bath.

An iron man like James is so tired that his legs are about to cramp.

James is too tired, scoring depends on him, defense depends on him, and organizing the team's offense still depends on him.

With 41 points, 8 rebounds and 13 assists, James got comprehensive and crazy statistics, scoring almost half of the team, and almost half of the team's assists. The statistics are shocking, and it also makes James half dead.

During the timeout just now, James looked at the data of the Lakers. Liu Ren had 46 points and 9 rebounds, and Whiteside had 7 points and 25 rebounds. , and there is no one left.

Similarly, Liu Ren is also exhausted, but he has an advantage over James, that is, he is young!Much more physical than James!

James was able to prevent Liu Ren's breakthrough before, but now Liu Ren can break through James' defense line with a little more effort, and James can't keep up!

Liu Ren once again entered the inside, James can only look forward to the inside to make a defense.

Then James felt chilled. Facing Love and Thompson's defense, Liu Ren attracted three double-teams and passed back to Kobe who was in the open after the off-ball pick-and-roll. Kobe showed his power at a critical moment and scored two cold-blooded points hit.

103 to 101, the Lakers lead by two points again!
The Cavaliers missed a shot, James was exhausted and couldn't move anymore. Looking back, Kobe continued to use Liu Ren to attract the defense, then caught the ball and made a direct hit.

Kobe scored 6 points in a row at the last moment, turning the score into 107 to 101. With 14 seconds left, it was impossible to recover. The Cavaliers gave up their last attack, and the Lakers narrowly beat the Cavaliers at home!

James' super quasi-triple-double data has done useless work!

After the game, James was also helpless. One of the two core teammates was too immature, and the other proved that most of the previous stats were just brushed out. It is really too difficult to deal with the Lakers whose talent has overflowed to the point of explosion!

After the game, James returned to the locker room, looking at the record rankings on his mobile phone while doing physical therapy.

"Damn! It's a little far away from the second..." James looked anxiously at the fact that his team was only ranked third in the Eastern Conference.

James opened the team salary table.

詹姆斯2042万、乐福1520万、欧文713万、阿弗拉罗675万、汤普森507万……

This is the core lineup of the Cavaliers. Seeing this, James felt a little concerned. After returning to the hotel after finishing his physical therapy, he called a person who had been in contact with him almost every day for the past four years...
