super small forward

Chapter 451
Thomas Robinson, another high-ranked parallel importer made by the king, is not without talent, nor is he without the attitude of working hard, but he is completely buried in the king of geniuses, and he does not get a chance to play. Slowly age It's too big, and the potential has not been exchanged.

Lillard did not go down, Matthews was replaced by former Lakers starting point guard Steve Blake, and Batum was not replaced either.

The players who replaced the Lakers were Liu Ren, Nick Young, Korver, Antetokounmpo and Whiteside.

D'Antoni put on a super-sized lineup. His favorite Nick Young has an official height of [-] meters. In fact, he is about the same height as Kobe, but even so, the average height of the Lakers is more than [-] meters. It's six!
Liu Ren is rarely placed in the position of point guard. D'Antoni wants him to directly match up with Lillard on the defensive end, without affecting the defense of other positions, and avoiding misalignment when the opponent is attacking.

Back on the court, the Lakers continued to attack, serving in the frontcourt.

Liu Ren received Nick Young's serve and dribbled the ball in the top arc. Batum came up to defend.

Liu Ren really wanted to slap his hand off, which was twisted and scratched, but thinking of the offensive foul just now, he held back.

Liu Ren looked at the positions of his teammates, and beckoned Whiteside, who abused Leonard inside, to come out for a pick-and-roll.

Speaking of which, the Leonard of the Trail Blazers is different from the fierce and cold poker face Leonard of the Spurs. This Leonard is a tall and handsome guy, a bit like a creamy boy, and his body is also the thin bamboo pole type, very He is liked by Korean girls, but American women don't like his looks, they think he is too sissy, and his playing style is the same as his looks, as soft as toilet paper, and he was tortured to death by Whiteside.

Whiteside, who was showing off his power inside, saw the boss calling, and immediately came out to block Batum, and Miles Leonard followed. Miles Leonard was thin and fast, and could defend the outside line. Of course, whether it can be prevented is another question.

Liu Ren used Whiteside's pick-and-roll to cut in. Batum and Miles Leonard were attracted by Liu Ren, and they both went to defend Liu Ren, completely ignoring Whiteside who ran in instead.

"This is different from the script that my uncle thought up!" Liu Ren shouted in his heart as he looked at the two men who double-teamed him.

Liu Ren originally thought that after using the pick-and-roll to defend him, it would become the skinny center on the opposite side, and Batum was switched to Whiteside. This is the tactic Gasol told him.

But Liu Ren forgot one thing, Whiteside is a rebounder in the minds of the Blazers players, the kind who picks up and misses two dunks when scoring. In the eyes of the Trail Blazers, he is the biggest of all the Lakers!

Gasol's Spain is not just a problem with one or two outside lines, but the entire lineup is strong. The opponent dare not target targeted double-teaming. Their pick-and-roll tactics to force the opponent to switch defenses can be successful!

This is the NBA, which is very different from European basketball and FIBA ​​games!

As for Whiteside really cutting in the first time, instead of being like an unconscious center who sees his defender being defended again and double-teaming, resulting in a lost opportunity, this is beyond the Blazers' expectations.

No matter how soft Miles Leonard is, he is still a center forward, and Batum, who keeps making small moves, really blocked Liu Ren!

In desperation, Liu Ren passed the ball back to Whiteside who made an empty cut.

Whiteside made a dunk by catching the ball and hanging the frame.

The Blazers attacked, and Lillard played better and better as the season deepened, and it was the same in the game. At the beginning, he was not very comfortable with Liu Ren's defense, but after a few minutes of playing, Lillard Facing Liu Ren's defense, it began to give people a feeling of ease.

Lillard gave the ball to Batum in the high position. Batum lobbed the ball to the edge of the three-second zone and suddenly cut to the basket. Liu Ren wanted to follow up and was blocked by Blake. Liu Ren knew Blake's trick. Go up, Blake definitely dare to fall to the ground.

When the ball arrives, Lillard catches the ball from Batum and hits a layup. Whiteside can't defend Lillard even if he assists in the defense.

Lillard, Batum, Aldridge, the combination of these three people is hard to guard against. Although Batum scored poorly this year, it is less than last year. He averaged only 8 points per game, but he still averaged 5 points per game. With 5 rebounds and 18 assists, he put all his energy into organizing the offense. With Matthews, Lillard, and Aldridge averaging 20 points per game and two players averaging [-]+ per game, the Blazers are almost invincible in the starting lineup. The remaining Lillard, Matthews, and Batum are enough to match the starting hard steel of most teams in the league.

only.The Lakers are not one of the most teams. Once the Blazers replace one of Lillard and Aldridge, even if the Lakers lose Kobe, the Blazers can't deal with it!

The Lakers attacked, and Liu Ren continued to pick and roll with Whiteside.

Whiteside's excellent cutting awareness still has an impact on the determination of the Trail Blazers to double-team Liu Ren. Batum switched to Whiteside this time just as Liu Ren thought.

Liu Ren rushed into Leonard without turning, as if Leonard was air.

Facts have proved that Leonard is the air in front of Liu Ren. He didn't interfere with Liu Ren in the morning. He bumped away as soon as he touched it. Liu Ren burst into the three-second zone and flew up. Liu Ren succeeded in dunking on Thomas Robinson's head.

Under the pick-and-roll attack, Batum's role is infinitely weakened. The way to deal with him is that simple. As long as there is no physical contact, his small movements will have no effect.

However, it is not that simple to be as resolute and successful as Liu Ren and Whiteside. Both of them have to be top-notch in consciousness and ability.

Batum's defensive end has been weakened, but fortunately his organizational skills are still excellent.

Batum and Lillard continued to pass and cut the ball, and Batum continued to lob the ball. The Lakers focused on Lillard to prevent him from running into Batum's passing route.But Batum didn't hang it to Lillard, the arc was higher than expected, it was a corner pass!

Blake received the ball from the bottom corner, calmly made a three-pointer, and hit the basket with precision.

The Lakers' offense is still a pick-and-roll. D'Antoni is very satisfied with watching from the sidelines. He wants Liu Ren to be more comprehensive and have more scoring methods. The pick-and-roll must be strengthened faster in real games.

Liu Ren used the pick-and-roll to break into the inside line, and this time Miles Leonard, Robinson, and Batum blocked him.

Liu Ren passed back to Antetokounmpo in the middle distance, and Blake let go of Nick Young to defend Antetokounmpo.

The role players of the Lakers have a point, they are determined to shoot, and at the same time they are willing to pass the ball. Antetokounmpo immediately passed to Nick Young who was surrounded by an empty space the moment Blake rushed over.Antetokounmpo was looking forward to an assist, but!

But Nick Young took two dribbles before pulling up to shoot!
Hollow into the frame!

Antetokounmpo wanted to cry but had no tears. He passed the ball to his teammate and made a shot, but he had no assists. This would only happen when he met a top teammate like Nick Young.

Seeing Antetokounmpo's resentful eyes, Nick Young stuck out his tongue to show off his cuteness. He knew his bad habit and wanted to change it all the time, but when he was on the court, he was so handsome and forgot everything.

The Blazers' offense requires tacit cooperation, grasping the blocking time and passing time, and has high requirements for the receiver and the passer. Only when Aldridge and Lillard are both present, the Lakers' defensive focus is dispersed. Only Batum can easily complete this task. Once the two are missing one, the Lakers' defense is targeted, and Batum's organization will not be so smooth.

In comparison, the Lakers' offense is very simple. Liu Ren and Whiteside pick and roll. If Batum doesn't care about Whiteside double-teaming Liu Ren, Liu Ren will pass back to Whiteside. Batum defends against Whiteside. Ren directly ran into the inside from Leonard, Thomas Robinson was just a decoration in the inside, Liu Ren rushed in and dunked, he couldn't stop it at all!
