super small forward

Chapter 493 493. Am I the Cancer?
Liu Ren stood at the free throw line and made one of two free throws.

Liu Ren became a little impatient. He only scored 11 points in the first quarter!Not him alone, but the entire Lakers!
Liu Ren became impatient, but the Eagles were not in a hurry, because it was very difficult for them to win against the Lakers, so it is normal to face any unfavorable situation.

So the Eagles carried out their tactical plan in an orderly manner.

The Eagles attacked, Bazemore rushed over with the ball and immediately used Millsap's cover to rush into the free throw line.

When the Lakers' defense rushed up, Bazemore passed the ball to Teague at once.

In fact, Teague's organizational ability can only be regarded as mediocre. What makes him great is his speed. Now he has become a scorer on the weak side. Now Teague's mission is more clear, and it is easier to play his own characteristics.

Teague took the ball and made a fake shot. Seeing that Clarkson, who was defending him, didn't want to be shy, Teague immediately stepped up to force him, but he didn't pass Clarkson. As expected, although Clarkson is a rookie, he usually defends against Liu Ren and Nick Young during training, and is occasionally educated by Kobe. Teague's swaying skills are much better than the fake moves of these three people. Too fake.

Teague couldn't make a breakthrough, and he couldn't make a fake shot, so he leaned on Clarkson for a high post single!

In terms of physical fitness, Teague does not take advantage of playing Clarkson with his back. Clarkson is much higher than Teague. Clarkson is a big point guard, and his height is more than enough to play a shooting guard.

But Teague dared to fight like this, and Teague didn't suffer from such a fight. Teague didn't use his body to hit Clarkson with his back, but his dexterous footsteps.

Teague kept turning around with fake moves. Even Kobe hadn't used this high-position back-up play, because it was really useless, but Teague just bullied Clarkson inexperienced. Every time he turned around with fake moves, Clarkson He will come up immediately, and then be slowly pressed inside by Teague.

When Clarkson made a wrong judgment, Teague immediately turned around and scored two points.

The Lakers couldn't defend defensively, and the offense immediately had problems.

Carroll made another big move to defend Liu Ren, and once again sent Liu Ren to the free throw line.

The impatient Liu Ren didn't make two free throws this time!
Seeing that the Lakers' offense is getting worse and worse, and the Eagles are playing more vigorously, Bazemore once again used Horford's high cover to break into the inside line, and then immediately passed the ball to Teague who came up in an air cut.

Teague made another mid-range throw.

Teague scored consecutively and turned the score into 14 to 11!

The Eagles are now scoring consecutive points with Teague, Bazemore and Horford, and the Lakers are having difficulty offensively. At this time, the Lakers are suffering consecutive setbacks.The Eagles used the same strategy as the Cavaliers. The Lakers didn't feel good inside, so they blocked three-point opportunities from the outside, and then used big moves to stimulate Liu Ren and send Liu Ren to the free throw line.

Liu Ren's free throws are very smooth when he hits smoothly, but not allowed when he is impatient. Budenholzer took advantage of this perfectly.

The Lakers fell into a complete stagnation for a while!

Under such circumstances, the Eagles have an absolute advantage, and they are steadily scoring points on the offensive end.

As a result, the Lakers played extremely hard at home. By the end of the first quarter, the Lakers only scored 17 points. Although the Eagles did not score particularly high, they also scored 25 points, leading by 8 points. The advantage ends the first quarter!

Break between festivals.

The Lakers rested on the sidelines.

D'Antoni's face was flushed red like a monkey's butt.

He didn't expect that his tactical flexibility would be used by the opponent!
Green doesn't feel good, Kobe has no chance to catch the ball, Antetokounmpo can't hit him if his teammates can't hit him, Clarkson can't catch the ball...

The sadness in D'Antoni's heart!
"Give me an hour, and I will easily come up with a solution!"

D'Antoni probably thought so.

However, there is not so much time for him to think!

If the game continues at this pace, it is estimated that the score will be opened by the opponent when D'Antoni makes a move!
"Bernie, do you have any solution?" D'Antoni could only ask the old man.

Bickerstaff is particularly good. Whether he is an assistant coach for Mike Brown or D'Antoni, he will not take the initiative to provide tactics. He doesn't want to be hated, but if the head coach asks him , and he will try his best to provide his own insights.

"We didn't open up the inside line. Paul and the opponent's Horford have similar strengths and characteristics, and they can't take advantage. This is especially true after Giannis comes on the court. He doesn't have Paul's strength yet. It's normal to be blown up by Horford. Germany When Lamond doesn't feel good, his organizational ability will also decline. He can't open the space and the opponent's defense won't be on him, and he can't pass too many good balls. If we use Hassan, it will be good. The solution..." Bickerstaff said his own solution.

It's not a very special tactic, but a very common and common tactic.

But sometimes this is the case, and very common tactics will be ignored.

D'Antoni is like that.

D'Antoni suddenly realized immediately, didn't he?If you don't have an advantage inside, just switch to someone with an advantage!Few centers in the league have the strength to beat Whiteside!

D'Antoni immediately discussed with Bickerstaff how to use Whiteside to break the Hawks.

As for Liu Ren, he was reflecting on his performance in the first quarter.

Whether it was the coach's tactics or his own ideas, Liu Ren found that none of them came out!
Completely entered the opponent's trap.

And last time the Cavaliers had already used their impetuous mentality in this way, but this time they fell into a pit, Liu Ren said that he blamed himself.

You shouldn't be so impatient, you shouldn't be so reckless in the last few minutes...

Therefore, Liu Ren is going to vote more decisively next time!Fuck each other to death!

Just kidding, who is he?Scoring champion!You don't need to score to kill the opponent and still be called the scoring champion?
The rest time between quarters is very short, and soon the referee's whistle sounds, and the second quarter of the game is about to start.

Liu Ren prepared to play with the mentality of wanting revenge and killing the opponent.

but!

D'Antoni waved him to sit down, and sent Jeremy Lin, McCollum, Nick Young, Antetokounmpo, Whiteside!
The Lakers have Antetokounmpo, Whiteside and others to support the inside of the bench lineup. The outside line has Jeremy Lin and Nick Young who is good at shooting, as well as the young and mature McCollum. The bench lineup does not lack scoring ability, but it does not lack organization. The core, so D'Antoni let Liu Ren, who was a little impatient in the first quarter, rest for a while.

Sure enough, Whiteside lived up to expectations on the court. When the main lineup was playing very difficult, he played very well on the court, completely blowing up the Hawks' backup center Mike Scott. Mike Scott's stature is too short. He is obviously the height of a power forward, but he plays a center, which is slightly taller than Randall and Green. The big center is full of big big men, completely deflated.

The Eagles head coach Budenholzer saw that Scott was not good, and immediately replaced Pero Antiche to defend Whiteside.

But Pero Antiche's height is enough, but his footsteps are incomparable with Whiteside's. Whiteside's footsteps have improved a lot this year and nearly two years. Gasol is almost obsessed with him. It's just that he is a defensive pillar and a rebounder at ordinary times, so he doesn't have a chance to perform, but D'Antoni let go of the game before playing, and he had fun in the paint.

Excellent mobility, strong body, crushing body shape... For the first time, Lakers fans discovered that their shot blocker and rebounder actually have good inside skills!
On the defensive end, the Eagles' substitute insiders were terrified when they looked at Whiteside. Whiteside's "contemptuous" eyes, excellent movement, sharp blocks, and cruel rebounding dominance...

The Eagles' bench lineup didn't dare to go inside at all!
With the rotation lineup on the field, relying on Whiteside's near-invincibility in the interior, the Lakers caught up with the score so easily. Before halfway through the second quarter, the Lakers had already tied with 33 to 33 score!
Liu Ren's heart was broken on the sidelines!He had accumulated enough anger for himself, but before he could vent it, his tough teammates caught up with the score.

"Could it be that I'm a cancer?"
