Chapter 489 489. Eight consecutive victories

"Our main force is really strong, and we don't need a substitute to help."

Warriors fans said such words on their lips, but they were extremely sad and indignant in their hearts.

Looking at the Lakers side, Liu Ren brought a few substitutes and his own main force, although his side slowly gained some lead, but it was not enough to kill the Lakers. Once the main force was replaced by one or two One, the Lakers led by Liu Ren will immediately respond with a more brutal performance.

Although there is no idiom for Tian Ji horse racing in the United States, there are probably similar fables.

The last time the Lakers and the Warriors played against each other, D'Antoni thought he had already won two opponents and chose to use hard steel. As a result, the main force was suppressed by the opponent's two shooters, leaving Speights, Ezeli, and Livingston as the main players. A few players who were good at playing with the wind started to gain momentum during the lineup rotation, and eventually ended up losing.

This time D'Antoni started playing rogues, so he treated this game as a playoff game, no matter how rogues came.

When the Warriors were the main force, D'Antoni sent Liu Ren and his offensive teammates to attack with all his might. Once the Warriors' main force was replaced due to fatigue, the Lakers immediately replaced them as the main force.

This is based on the fact that Liu Ren has the strength of the opponent's entire team and a solid lineup to achieve this. D'Antoni is not a "decent" coach. As long as he can win, no matter how wretched he is!

Although Liu Ren really wants to say that it is indeed no better than the duo of Curry and Thompson, but he can barely hold the Warriors' main force with a group of shooters and rebounding big men.

Curry played so badly that he couldn't open the score for a long time. Liu Ren scored 20 points in a single quarter to stop the Warriors from trying to open the score. At the end of the third quarter, the Warriors still only scored 89 leads by seven points over 82.

Curry has scored 43 points in three quarters, and his shooting percentage is slowly declining. Obviously, today Steve Kerr broke the regular rotation and allowed him to play too much time in the first three quarters.

In the fourth quarter, Liu Ren, who played three quarters, was finally replaced, but it was time for the Lakers to reap the victory.

Clarkson, Kobe, Korver, Green, and Whiteside played, and immediately showed a fierce posture after the opening.

Steve Kerr had to replace the main force on the Warriors side. Curry, Thompson, Barnes, and Randall played too long as the starters. There was almost no chance to rest in the first half. It's a full quarter, basically useless.

The Lakers exchanged the four main players of the Warriors with Liu Ren alone!

Liu Ren clocked in three quarters and got off work when he was behind. Kobe led the Lakers to savage the Warriors substitutes in the fourth quarter. They played a 29-7 super climax in more than half a quarter, overtaking the score in one fell swoop and closing the gap. Open to 0 minutes.

When the Warriors switched to the main force in the last half of the quarter, they could only draw with the Lakers. The Lakers kept their 10-point lead to the end.

In the end, the Lakers won the game 126 to 113, winning eight consecutive victories!

……

……

"How can they have so many stars!" Thompson was very unwilling, very unwilling, "Their starters may not necessarily be our opponents, but they have too many other stars! Even the substitutes are as strong as our starters."

After the game, the Lakers left the Oracle Arena early and took the bus back to Los Angeles. The other players of the Warriors also left. Only Curry and Thompson remained behind.

"The luck of the boss is very good. He has found so many helpers for him as soon as he became the core Lakers. I think it will be difficult for us to beat them in the playoffs." Curry is not like Thompson. Become a strong team, and then have that kind of inexplicable pride. Curry has experienced a lot of underestimation, so he can analyze more calmly at this time, and can easily accept some things.

"Then what should we do? It would be fine if their substitutes were a group of old men, but many of them are younger than the two of us. I can't imagine what we can do when they all grow up." Thompson was a little frustrated.

It's been hard to beat the Lakers once in the past two years. I just thought that my side had risen, but who knew that the Lakers played a tough lineup tactic, and the Warriors couldn't deal with it.

It is the gap in hard power and the gap in lineup depth.

"I'm not worried about that." Curry felt that Thompson was really young and simple-minded.

"Why?" Thompson asked suspiciously.

Curry smiled and said: "How do you think the Thunder fell from the championship team? No team can support the salary of so many young talents like the Lakers, just like the Thunder had to give up Harden. , the Lakers will face the same problem as the Thunder when the rookie contracts of young players expire, and if we can afford it, they will be disbanded in two or three years!"

Thompson thought for a moment. "You mean we'll stay until they disband?"

Thompson thinks this seems like a good choice!Wait two or three years... Thompson suddenly saw Curry looking at him with an idiot expression.

"Wait until they disband to beat them? I don't want to, I just said that there is that kind of opportunity," Curry's face was full of fighting spirit, "I want to beat them when they are the strongest! Even if it is difficult, I will do that If not this year, then next year, I will definitely defeat them, and..."

Curry said with a weird smile: "And a guy from Oklahoma who came to California to recuperate contacted me."

Thompson was taken aback, and asked in surprise, "You mean..."

"Yes, I think we have a chance to form a stronger lineup than the Lakers!"

……

……

The Splash Brothers who lost on the Warriors side were discussing some insane things, but the Lakers didn't have that kind of leisure.

After defeating the Warriors, the Lakers ushered in a cruel back-to-back home game against the top two in the Eastern Conference...

Hit the Hawks first, then the Knicks.

Liu Ren said that the alliance is going to make trouble!
Played three consecutive games against the Warriors, Hawks, and Knicks.

Not only did Liu Ren feel that the league was doing something wrong, but the fans also expressed that they were drunk.

"Our bald-headed president really thinks highly of me, or did they expect me to hit 72 wins, so they made it more difficult for us in advance?"

"Three games in a row against the top two in each of the East and West, and the other three of the top four in the NBA..."

"And this month I have 14 days left and eight games..."

"..."

Fans and the media are complaining about the Lakers' schedule this month, and the league officials are also helpless!

Why is it so difficult to schedule the Lakers?

The Knicks and the Hawks are both teams that re-emerged last season, but no one expected that they would rise so much this season, and even occupy the top two in the Eastern Conference!

What the league originally wanted to arrange for the Lakers this month was that most of them were playoff teams but not particularly strong, so that the Lakers could find the feel of the playoffs.

Who knows that there will be three consecutive top four games in the league, or three games in four days...
