super small forward

Chapter 487
"Depend on!"

"Are you a human?"

"..."

"..."

Although I have seen it many times, the fans are still shocked. Although the Warriors' two substitute insiders are notorious defensive softies and abusers, they are still two big men!

Every time Liu Ren swallowed his opponent alive, it was the same as when O'Neill and James were born. Every time he watched it, he felt amazing.

Warriors fans saw Liu Ren's way of playing, which is exactly what Randall on their side should do!But now a small forward like Liu Ren did it, and he was even more brutal than Randall.

Randall doesn't have this kind of bounce that can hit the basket when he jumps up!

Speez, who was very good when he abused the weak team, was completely shocked. Next, the Warriors attacked him with a mid-range open shot and almost missed it!

The Lakers took advantage of the momentum brought by Liu Ren to quickly counterattack.

Among other things, Speights is really good in speed, and he was the first to return to the defense after he missed the shot.

Then Liu Ren, Jeremy Lin, and Antetokounmpo counterattacked three-on-one!

Liu Ren took the ball and rushed to the inside, as if he didn't see Speights, and once again filled the frame with both hands through Speights.

Without Bogut, the Warriors' only inside defensive gate, Liu Ren can get whatever he wants inside the Warriors.

Liu Ren came up like a beast, with successive dunks, the morale of the Lakers, which was already a bit sluggish, suddenly improved.

At this time, the Warriors' offense had problems. Their rotation lineup relied on Iguodala's organizational ability to cooperate with the offense, but the morale of the Lakers was up, and the defense was very focused. Hold on to the two pitchers Barnes and Livingston.

Iguodala was defended to death by Liu Ren. He was not a player with great singles ability, and he had no chance to surpass others under close defense.

Most of the outside organizers rely on breakthrough points or double-teaming in singles to organize offenses. Even Rondo, who has a poor scoring ability, has an excellent ability to break through and make layups.

And Iguodala is really playing dead in the regular season, except for passing and defense, other skills seem to have disappeared.

Iguodala dribbled for a long time, and then passed it to Livingston. Livingston saw that Speights on the inside had lost his soul. Ezeli knew nothing but rebounds and lobs. Barnes was used by Kobe. Brute force entangled, so Livingston chose to defend Jeremy Lin for three points!

"bang"

The ball hit the front of the basket and just bounced in the direction of Liu Ren. Liu Ren grabbed the ball and directly pushed forward to counterattack.

Liu Ren, who was counterattacking with the ball, was really like a tank at this time, and the speed and strength of the impact were extremely ferocious.

Barnes gritted his teeth and straightened his body to come over to delay Liu Ren, but was knocked away by Liu Ren directly, and because Barnes didn't hit Liu Ren head-on, he was almost called a foul!
Seeing Liu Ren knocking away Barnes, the strongest player among their perimeter players, Livingston didn't dare to come over. He almost lost his nerve when he was hit by Liu Ren just now, but now he is timid when he sees Liu Ren.

Iguodala didn't catch up either, he was blocked by Antetokounmpo who cooperated with Liu Ren's fast break. At this critical moment, it was the Warriors' big center Ezeli who caught up with Liu Ren from behind!
Although Aizeli's offensive ability is very good, only the dunk skill is good, and his defense is not good because he is thin, but his running speed is really good. With the help of Barnes, he blocked Liu Ren with a rope, and he actually shot from behind. caught up.

After Liu Ren entered the three-second zone of the Warriors, he sprinted towards the front and flew up. Ai Zeli bounced really well, and the speed of the bounce was also good. He blocked Liu Ren, and Liu Ren switched from his right hand to his left hand Basket shot, easy to get two points.

tie!

35 flats!
The Lakers quickly tied the score after the start of the second quarter!

Steve Kerr had already warmed up Randle, Curry and others when the Lakers were gaining momentum.

But he didn't call a timeout right away. After all, the main force had been playing for a long time in the first quarter. He still expected the second team to last for a while, but he didn't expect to be tied in two or three hits!
The Warriors called a timeout.

Steve Kerr started to make substitutions, Curry, Iguodala, Barnes, Randall, Ezeli played.

If it weren't for the poor physical fitness of the Australian great pyrenes Bogut, who can only play more than 20 minutes a game and save it for critical moments, Cole really wants to replace Bogut.

The Lakers are so reckless that they actually use the main force to play them as a substitute. Steve Kerr expressed his displeasure.

D'Antoni's eyes are also very thieves. When he saw Steve Kerr's substitution, he immediately replaced Gasol, Whiteside, and Clarkson very quickly.

The Lakers lineup has become Clarkson, Liu Ren, Antetokounmpo, Gasol, Whiteside.

For the Warriors sideline kick, Steve Kerr replaced the smaller lineup in order to stabilize the situation and suppress the fast pace driven by Liu Ren.

But I didn't expect D'Antoni to suddenly put on a super big lineup, put on four frontcourt players, and they were super mobile.

The Warriors specially played a tactic for Randall, through continuous cover and movement.

Randall dodges Gasol at once, and gets stuck in the left waist position to switch Antetokounmpo. Randall has a position, and behind him is the thin man Antetokounmpo. Randall's body The advantages are huge.

Livingston, who was holding the ball on the Warriors' side, immediately threw the basketball into Randall's hands. Randall took the ball inside and still faced Antetokounmpo, which was a huge threat to the Lakers' defense.

At this time, Gasol, who was supposed to defend the inside, had to be pulled out by Barnes to defend the three-pointer from the outside. Randall passed the ball very well, and he didn't dare not go out.

Just when Gasol was unable to advance and retreat, Randall slammed back hard, easily knocked Antetokounmpo back, and then turned around and rushed into the three-second zone.

After Randall passed Antetokounmpo, he slammed into Whiteside directly. First, Whiteside was afraid that Randall would pass to Ezeli behind him, and second, Randall's explosive power. Whiteside didn't dare to pounce, maybe it was a foul, and 2 plus 1 is also possible.

Randall saw that Whiteside didn't dare to jump over, so he chose to come by himself. As a left-hander, he took the ball with his left hand and layup at an angle that Whiteside could not bypass the basket to block the shot!

At this moment, Liu Ren strode in and slapped Randall's layup on the backboard!

Cover and grab!

Liu Ren's iconic pegboard hat!
D'Antoni switched to this lineup to strengthen the defense. Now that the offense has been opened, he will use the highly mobile Clarkson, Liu Ren, and Antetokounmpo to play. Three people are enough to defend the Warriors' entire perimeter. Ren and Antetokounmpo's medium and long-range defense capabilities are also very good, and they can also help defend the inside. In this way, there are Gasol and Whiteside in the inside, and the Lakers' defense is almost airtight!

Liu Ren took the ball and the Lakers counterattacked!

Liu Ren used his teammates to block the opponent's pursuit, and succeeded in a one-stop counterattack and dunk.

Overtake the score!

The Lakers took the lead for the first time in 15 minutes of this game!

If it's a down position, Liu Ren might not be able to get the ball, so the Lakers' offense will be considered stagnant. After all, Liu Ren is the Lakers' first scoring point, and his scoring accounts for almost one-third of the Lakers' total points!The Lakers' tactics are also set up for him to end the offense. He can't catch the ball and rely on role players to score, which is not the way the Lakers can win.

So D'Antoni chose a fast-playing lineup at the beginning of the second quarter. After the Warriors switched to a fast-playing lineup, he immediately switched to a stronger defensive lineup, dragging the game into a defensive counterattack!
Steve Kerr is very talented as a coach, but compared to the old and cunning D'Antoni, he is still a little tender, and without the assistant coach Luke Walton, a master tactician, he has no one to remind him of many things he can't see .

The Lakers now focus on defensive counterattacks, so the Warriors' tactics to prevent Liu Ren from taking the ball will not work. Antetokounmpo and Gasol are both masters of long passes. Soon Liu Ren couldn't catch the ball, and Clarkson, a point guard who was as fast as him, gave Liu Ren more opportunities to get the ball.

If Liu Ren can get the ball, the Lakers' offense will go smoothly.

After the Warriors were hit by the Lakers for several counterattacks in a row, they called a timeout again.

No idea!

The Lakers are more prepared this time than when the two teams played against each other last time!
In desperation, Steve Kerr also broke the jar and directly replaced the dead five small lineup of Curry, Thompson, Iguodala, Barnes, and Randall.

Lakers, you come to the long pass and fast break, right? Steve Kerr is also going to use super fast offense to harden the steel!

Needless to say, Steve Kerr's change really worked.

Curry and Thompson liked this fast-paced style of play so much, hitting consecutive three-pointers.

Although the Lakers also decisively fast-break after the opponent scored a goal, most of them scored two points, and the opponent's five small lineups stretched too much space, and they really couldn't guard against it.

D'Antoni didn't expect Steve Kerr to use such a rotation. At the end of the game, Curry scored four three-pointers in a row, and he was suddenly overtaken again!

57 to 61, at halftime, the Lakers fell behind by another four points.
