super small forward

Chapter 45.
The game began in a wonderful atmosphere where the Lakers were eager to eat their opponents and the Mavericks felt the inexplicable coldness in their hearts.

The Mavericks started Ellis, Carter, Marion, Nowitzki, Dalembert, and the Lakers started unchanged.

The Lakers' jump ball this year is a bit embarrassing. After Gasol and Green were identified as the starting lineup, the jump ball was even worse.

Dalembert easily wins the jump ball over Gasol.

The Mavericks go first, and Ellis plays the point guard position for the Mavericks. As a combo guard, he is used to playing this position.

It was Liu Ren who defended Ellis. Liu Ren had studied Ellis very well. After all, he was the one who claimed to be the second shooting guard in the league.

Ellis has a strong offensive ability, but is limited by his physical fitness and has not been able to truly enter the ranks of top players. Liu Ren used his body to suppress Ellis.

Ellis is usually good at using his speed to beat opponents, but if he encounters a defensive player who is as fast as him and has a strong impact, he will be deflated.

Liu Ren is not only physically stronger than Ellis, but also faster than the opponent. Ellis is defended by Liu Ren so that it is difficult to break through and even dribble, so he can only pass it to Carter.

The dunk king and demigod Vince Carter barely missed a shot under the defense of Bazemore.

Really old!Under Bazemore's constant physical contact, Carter Sr. missed his shot very badly.

In Liu Ren's impression, the flying man who was basically omnipotent except for passing the ball and defending poorly, has now become a running shooter.

Many people only remember Carter's dunk. In fact, before his second serious injury, he was a top scorer with comprehensive and excellent scoring skills, especially his long-range shot, which was better than Kobe and Tracy McGrady. Probably the strongest of the four shooting guards.

The four major shooting guards seem to be bleak in the end. McGrady has basically played without the ball since the 08-09 season. Some teams signed him and used him as a tool to sell tickets. Iverson sat on the bench in the Grizzlies and Pistons. After the 76ers retired hastily, Kobe flourished and declined, and his Achilles tendon ruptured. It is still a question mark how much of his strength can be restored.

But to be honest, the one with the biggest gap is Carter.

Iverson was the core at the beginning, and later led the team to play in the finals alone, and then declined rapidly because of the relationship between height and style of play. By the 08-09 season, it is normal for him to be close to retirement at the age of 33 or [-]. , People regret and only regret that he did not win the championship, and they have a positive attitude towards his retirement and his career.

McGrady played as a substitute at the beginning of his career, and slowly climbed to the starting lineup, star, and superstar. He has experienced the lowest point, so it is acceptable to become a substitute later.

Except for this serious injury, Kobe's entire career was perfect. He won the championship and MVP.

Only Carter, when he slipped from the superstar position, he still refused to believe it.

From the first day he entered the league, Carter was the core of the team. After playing for two seasons, he was selected into the Dream Team. In the process of mastering, one day will reach the top of the league.

But his advantages are as obvious as his disadvantages. His defense is poor, but his ability to attract defense is average, and his shooting rate drops sharply when encountering defensive players with heavy physical contact.

Later, after being assassinated three times by Bowen, and his explosive power was completely destroyed, Carter fell directly from a superstar to the ranks of ordinary stars.

However, Carter didn't believe that he was going to die, and he still played like a superstar. The result in exchange was that he was traded almost every year in recent years.

Green blocked Dalembert, and Liu Ren received a defensive rebound.

Fight back!

Bazemore and Wesley Johnson made a quick move, and the Mavericks returned to the defense only Marion, Bazemore and Wesley Johnson made an air connection, and the latter dunked almost flat.

Wesley Johnson's physical fitness is very good. Judging from the draft superstar embryo, his physical fitness is even better than that of Liu Ren and James, but he just didn't make it out. The Timberwolves ruined people One of the finished products of tirelessness, he completely wasted the years of improving his IQ and skills, and now he can only become a role player.

The ball at the beginning drove the rhythm of the game. The Lakers all played the game with fierce physical confrontation and played very fiercely. The Mavericks are not suitable for this style of the Lakers, nor are they suitable for this style of D'Antoni's ball. The team missed consecutive starts.

As for the Lakers, D'Antoni's offense is still sharp no matter how the players defend. The Mavericks are also a team that relies on zone defense. A player who can be called excellent defensively, no one can keep a close eye on Liu Ren. Liu Ren is like a knife every time he cuts inside. The Mavericks can only choose to shrink. And dare not shrink.

It's a bit difficult to beat the Lakers for a team that can't even match the defense.

After the zone defense was broken, the Mavericks could only choose single defense. Liu Ren repeatedly overwhelmed the opponent in the paint, and the Mavericks had nothing to do.

The guy who double-teamed Liu Ren just passed the ball. Liu Ren, who is [-] meters tall, has excellent vision, and the work in his hands is not bad. The Lakers are excellent in cutting and off-ball pick-and-roll.

Although Carlisle is a good coach, it's hard for a smart woman to cook without rice!The Lakers are obviously aggressive today and want to play tricks... It's okay to do this kind of thing, the Mavericks are really nobody.

The Lakers beat the Mavericks throughout the game, and Liu Ren scored 29 points and 7 rebounds to lead the Lakers to a 102-88 victory over the Mavericks, ending their two-game losing streak.

Nowitzki has aged for another year. His projection-based data may not decline significantly in a year or two, but his offensive ability is basically gone.

The win over the Mavericks isn't a big deal, it's just the first game of the Lakers' trip to the Southwest Division.

The next rocket is the highlight.

Unlike the old and weak Mavericks, the Rockets are strong and strong this year.

Get Howard, sign back the little black bean Brooks, Harden and Parsons have grown for another year, and the Rockets are now very strong.

The Lakers started this year fairly well, with 3 wins and 2 losses. Coupled with the grievances between the Lakers and Howard, the next game between the two teams has become the focus of the current NBA!
……

The Mavericks visiting locker room is great, better than many home team locker rooms. There are even first-class chefs and top ingredients, even red wine.

The rest of the infrastructure is top-notch. After the game, most of the Lakers had a massage before going back to the hotel.

"Hey, Liu, hang out together?" Nick Young invited.

"No, I'm going to Houston tomorrow, I want to go to bed early." Liu Ren declined.

"Liu, the passionate girls in Dallas are waiting for us to develop, how can you go to bed so early?"

"Aren't you afraid that Iggy will cut off your little brother if he finds out?"

"Oh, don't mention such a disappointing thing, why don't you really go?"

"Forget it, you go and play."

Seeing that Liu Ren really didn't intend to go, Nick Yang could only shrug his shoulders helplessly and go find another companion.

The entire Lakers team went out to play, including the good boy Antetokounmpo who was kidnapped by Nick Young. Only Liu Ren returned to the hotel alone.

Why do I feel guilty about hanging out?Liu Ren knew that if he went out to play, he would basically bring a girl back to the hotel. When those skinny guys saw NBA players, they would pounce on them, and then go to the butcher circle to show off who they slept with.

Most of these flesh and bones are some college students, and there are also good-looking and rich people. This is incredible to the Chinese, but it is already a degenerate culture in the United States.

It's common for NBA players to act on the spot, but Liu Ren is a Chinese at heart, and he feels a sense of guilt about it, and then unconsciously thinks of the girl at home.

After thinking for a long time, at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, Liu Ren couldn't help calling Chen Hanni...
