super small forward

Chapter 486 486. Not kidding

D'Antoni is starting to fidget!Immediately call a timeout.

At this time, D'Antoni could only call a timeout. Now the Lakers' problem is not in defense, but in scoring.

I have to say that the Warriors are indeed stronger than the Cavaliers, and the Lakers don't feel bad today, the key is that there is no chance to make a shot!

The Cavaliers were able to defend the Lakers that day, mainly because the Lakers didn't feel good, so after they locked Liu Ren, only Kobe was left. After all, Kobe is almost 37 years old. It is unrealistic for him to deal with the Cavaliers alone. Yes, so the Lakers lost to the Cavaliers.

The Warriors are tough defense. Their defensive encirclement composed of Barnes, Thompson, and Randall plus Bogut inside forms a super defensive system. Even if Curry's defense suffers again, they can make up for it, so even though Clarkson hit Curry a few times, but the Warriors didn't care at all.

At this time, D'Antoni is really worried about chasing points. If he wants to increase his firepower, he must change players, but the question is who to change?

Seeing D'Antoni's anxious face, Liu Ren had a flash of inspiration: "Coach, why don't Nick replace Kobe? Kobe is useless on the court, let him abuse the substitute, and let him play Iguodala later. "

Liu Ren felt that it might be effective to replace Nick Young with Kobe.

D'Antoni definitely didn't dare to let Kobe hold the ball like he was holding a dynamite bag and throw it to the basket like he was when he was young. After all, Kobe is really almost 37 years old and his Achilles tendon has been broken. Dare to take risks, even suppress Kobe's desire to score, and want to use Kobe's strength in the playoffs, which is the stage where Kobe should stay at this age.

So Liu Ren made this suggestion.

Kobe raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and the other Lakers players were even more stunned, so Liu Ren dared to say that Kobe was going to abuse the substitute.

It is clear that it is the rhythm of taking the opportunity to seize power!Even Kobe thinks so.

But Bryant did not respond, but chose the default.

"This kid has the demeanor of my uncle." Kobe glanced at Liu Ren with admiration. He agreed with Liu Ren's 'seizure of power'. How can a young man not have the heart of being the boss?

A person as proud as Kobe doesn't want to play a game of peaceful transfer of power. He wants Liu Ren to use his own strength to take the position of the boss. Kobe has never been a pacifist in basketball.

Seeing that Kobe didn't object, D'Antoni really replaced Kobe with Nick Young, and at the same time replaced Gasol with Whiteside to enhance his inside defense and rebounding dominance.

After the timeout, Nick Young was really easy to use, and he got two points against Thompson's defensive running shot.

This is even more unreasonable than Kobe and Curry. It is simply playing the waves to the extreme, that is, the rhythm of the waves.

Nick Young scored, but the Warriors' scoring did not stop. On the defensive end, Nick Young's defense is really not very good. He worked hard, but he just couldn't defend!

Barnes is a very strong player, and Barnes also played Nick Young.

But what D'Antoni wants now is not defense at all, and it's normal for Nick Young to be unable to defend.

And Nick Young did perform well on the offensive end today, shouldering the heavy responsibility of the team's scoring, making up for the Lakers' lack of scoring after Liu Ren was locked up.

Although the point difference was gradually widened, it was not as bad as it was at the beginning. At the end of the first quarter, Nick Young scored 12 points in a single quarter, helping the Lakers tightly bite the score.

27 to 35, the point difference is still within 10 points!
Soon the second quarter began, and D'Antoni sent Jeremy Lin, Kobe, Liu Ren, Antetokounmpo, and Green.

D'Antoni has not deployed such an aggressive lineup when the score is behind for a long time. The purpose is very clear, to score!
The Warriors have made it clear that they cannot defend, so it is better to attack!
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Lakers attacked first.

Facing Liu Ren was the talented No. [-] pick of the year, Livingston who had been reborn from the ashes. Livingston's physical confrontation is really not good now, and it is incomparable with Barnes's circling forward. Liu Ren relaxed Got the ball.

Liu Ren said at the beginning that he asked Kobe to abuse the bench. He was really not joking. He is now aiming at the Warriors to abuse the bench.

The Warriors' current lineup on the court is Livingston, Barbosa, Iguodala, Speights and Ezeli.

The defense of this lineup is far worse than the starting lineup!

It's better than Livingston and Iguodala.

Liu Ren discussed with Kobe, whoever Iguodala guards against, the other of them will fight Livingston...

Liu Ren pinned Livingston behind him with one arm and could not move. He easily received a pass from Jeremy Lin, and then pushed Livingston away and rushed directly towards the Warriors' basket.

Speights still wanted to come up to help defend, Liu Ren made a fake move and directly shook this arrogant big bald so-called vegetable abuser almost off the ground, and easily rushed into the three second zone.

take off!

Liu Ren ignored Ai Zeli and slammed the ball hard towards the basket.

Aizeli was "lucky" to become the protagonist of today's five best goals in less than 20 seconds after playing... the one under his crotch.

Anyway, it’s in the mirror!

Liu Ren began to abuse the basket again!
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr felt it was inappropriate, and the Lakers were cheating!The three starters Liu Ren, Kobe, and Green all came up to play in the second team, and Jeremy Lin, the former starter, was clearly trying to bully the Warriors' substitutes who were not that strong.

"Despicable! What a rascal!"

Steve Kerr watched the situation on the court reverse instantly, and he had nothing to say about the talent that the Lakers were full of overflowing or even gushing out.

"Why does God always favor the Lakers and Celtics? How can they form a super-strong lineup so easily? Let alone the Lakers, even the Celtics' suicidal trade has made up the playoffs. The lineup is not fair!"

Steve Kerr began to think about strategies after a few slanderous remarks. As long as he had the opportunity, he would let Barnes or Thompson return to the court.

Iguodala, Barnes, and Thompson are the three best perimeter defenses for the Warriors. If they want to maintain the defense against Liu Ren and Kobe at the same time, at least two players must be replaced.

And Steve Kerr is considering whether to replace Curry in advance. Although Curry's physical fitness has always been the biggest problem restricting him, but the opponent is the Lakers, there is no need to consider the physical fitness of the next game. The regular season record equalization is the most important thing.

And the Lakers obviously don't just want to make a fuss about offense. After seeing that the Warriors' second team has only Iguodala as an obvious strength, they decisively began to strengthen their defense.

With Liu Ren, Antetokounmpo, and Green there, the Lakers actually don't suffer a loss if they want to play defense.

The Lakers began to double-team the ball holders of Livingston and Iguodala!
And the Lakers are pressing the audience!
As soon as Livingston received Ezeli's serve, he was followed by Kobe and Jeremy Lin before he ran two steps.

Steve Kerr on the Warriors' side didn't expect much in this regard, and Livingston was an impatient point guard.

But as soon as Livingston took the first shot, Liu Ren stretched out his hand and slapped the ball away.

Kobe picked up the ball, and before he turned around for a layup, he was hugged by Livingston who had just made a mistake, and the referee whistled for a defensive foul.

Livingston was also helpless, if he didn't react fast enough, he would have been scored directly by the opponent.

Livingston held Bryant, not only preventing Bryant from shooting, but also giving Steve Kerr a chance to replace Barnes.

The Lakers played the ball in the frontcourt. Kobe received Jeremy Lin's serve. Seeing that Iguodala was defending him, he immediately wanted to pass Liu Ren.

But as soon as Barnes returned to the court, he immediately stuck up to Liu Ren, trying to stick to Liu Ren like in the first quarter, not giving Liu Ren a chance to catch the ball.

But at this time, Liu Ren ignored Barnes at all, turned around and ran towards the basket, and pointed at the basket at the same time.

What about insiders Speights and Ezeli squatting under the basket?
A big meat ball and a big bamboo pole!
Kobe saw that Liu Ren didn't seem to see the two big guys inside, and rushed to the basket to ask for the ball. In an instant, Kobe felt like he was back more than ten years ago.

At that time, there was a teammate who was also confident in himself.

This is just a momentary thought, Kobe threw the ball to the basket more decisively than Liu Ren.

"Kobe is shooting? No, something is going to happen!"

When the fans saw the ball was about to hit the basket, a big white hand grabbed the ball and pressed it directly to the basket!

"Don't think about it!"

Ai Zeli and Speights rushed forward, Liu Ren's action was simply too arrogant!They will stop whatever they say!
"boom!"
