super small forward

Chapter 495 495. Why?

Whiteside used a rope to "black" Liu Ren, not only him, but the entire Lakers second team was "black" Liu Ren.

After the four of them were replaced, Nick Young went crazy and scored a three-pointer directly from the outside.

The Eagles' defense seemed to fall apart in an instant, mainly because they lost their key defender. Budenholzer thought that the Lakers were just calling a timeout for tactical adjustments. Who knew that all four starters were replaced at once.

Who should we focus on?Jeremy Lin?Nick Young?Korver?Or Antetokounmpo?
These four guys are all about the same strength!

The Eagles' defense was at a loss for a moment. When Liu Ren and Kobe were there, the Eagles had a clear priority in defense. They squatted on Whiteside on the inside, prevented Liu Ren from receiving the ball on the outside, marked Kobe, and emptied Green...

Now, Nick Young and Jeremy Lin feel good. Korver is a veteran of the Eagles. The Hawks players are very afraid of Korver's three-pointers, and they don't know who to defend from the outside.

So the Eagles players think about it or just follow the tactics!
Against Korver is like against Kobe, against Nick Young is like against Liu Ren.

However, Nick Young and Liu Ren are very different. Nick Young's style of play is called a wave!It is completely different from Liu Ren's steady style of play most of the time!

Then I saw Nick Young making waves on the outside.

Once the Lakers made a shot from the outside, the Eagles did not dare to shrink the inside line. Now Whiteside was liberated again, grabbing offensive rebounds, standing in front of Horford, grabbing rebounds and throwing them into the basket...

The Lakers quickly played a wave of 15 to 4, once again pulling the point difference back to 15 points...

"It's unreasonable! We're the starters! Their starters didn't play for a quarter, why did they suddenly replace the main players after playing for 3 minutes? How can their substitutes be so good?" Budenholzer Completely stunned.

Liu Ren and the speechless Kobe looked at each other, and they both talked.

The Eagles did it on purpose!Why did the Lakers turn from eagles to weak chickens after the first and second scoring points of our two Lakers?
Liu Ren is so depressed!

For the Lakers, more than half of them felt that they played very well, while a lesser half of them sat on the sidelines with bitter faces.

In the third quarter, the Lakers regained the dominance they had when they played against the Eagles for the first time this season, and continued the momentum of the second quarter, making the score bigger and bigger in twos and threes.

打到三节结束，怀特塞德已经狂砍26分17板，带领湖人队以89比64领先25分。

Then Liu Ren, Kobe, and Green never played again. D'Antoni replaced Jeremy Lin and Antetokounmpo, and asked them to play the last quarter with LaVine, Henry, and Thackeray.

The Eagles organized a wave of counterattacks in the final quarter, but even though the Lakers were three guards of the drinking fountains, their strength was not bad.

In the end, the Lakers won the first contest between the East and the West 113 to 98 without any risk.

……

……

"The old and new Lakers combined to score 5 points to lead the Lakers to victory"

"8 in 1, the Lakers lost the "tumor" finally found"

"It turns out that the boss is the "true culprit" of the Lakers' loss"

"..."

"..."

……

After the game, the major media talked about the Lakers game with ridicule. In fact, although the Eagles have the idea of ​​winning the championship, in the eyes of people, only the Knicks and the Cavaliers in the East are the real championship contenders. No. [-] in the Eastern Conference, people did not put the Eagles in the championship ranks to discuss, thinking that it is normal for the Lakers to beat them.

Of course the same is true.

Therefore, Liu Ren and Kobe only scored 5 points together in the first quarter, and both played less than 15 minutes in this game, which gave the fans more opportunities to tease.

"I didn't expect my big boss to be the cancer behind the scenes..."

"The same tumor is also the volute. It scored 7 points on 1 of 2 shots. This hit rate is touching!"

"You don't understand, this is a kind of inheritance, the old boss of my lake is teaching the new boss how to forge iron..."

"..."

"..."

Everyone is making fun of Liu Ren and Kobe's performance today.

Kobe has often had a truce in the past two years, and he often rests when he is not in good shape, so not many people ridicule him.

But there are many people who ridicule Liu Ren.

But ridicule is ridicule, but they didn't pay much attention to this game. After all, for Lakers fans and most fans, it was just a relatively interesting game.

But for Liu Ren, the few games after the All-Star Game seemed to be a bit unfavorable for him!

The Lakers were too strong before the All-Star Weekend. Except for a few teams who thought about defeating them before the All-Star Weekend, the other teams didn't even have the idea of ​​fighting them head-on, because the gap in strength is too big. It's just the regular season. Fighting is not worth it.

But this is not to say that other teams have not studied the Lakers, but have always done research. After all, the Lakers are the biggest opponents of all teams aspiring to compete for the championship.

He is the strongest scorer on the Lakers, and he is naturally a thorn in the side of all opponents who may meet in the playoffs. Most of the defensive tactics arranged for the Lakers are designed towards him.

After the All-Star Weekend, other teams that aspired to compete for the championship or might meet the Lakers in the playoffs began to show their fangs and began to practice the strategy of defeating the Lakers. Liu Ren was naturally the focus of being targeted.

And now it seems that they have found some ways, but most teams are too strong to beat the Lakers in the face of the overall strength of the Lakers, but the defensive effectiveness of Liu Ren has allowed many teams to find a breakthrough.

The performance of the Lakers before was a bit too perfect. From the beginning of the season, people only had the impression of perfection.

The three old and strong veterans, the young and newly promoted scoring champion, the two young frontcourt players with excellent organizational skills, the powerful substitute insiders, and the young and energetic backcourt substitute group...

The performance of the Lakers is too perfect.

But now people have discovered that there are still ways to limit the Lakers.

Liu Ren can perform so well, the main factor is that Kobe is on the sidelines.

Even though Kobe is almost 37, his power is still there, which can open up space for Liu Ren very well, and the opponent has to put a lot of defensive attention on him.

And Liu Ren's strong personal offensive ability created many opportunities for Kobe to play singles easily, and then made Kobe's efficiency very high.

The two are complementary existences, and each contributes to the other's good performance.

Liu Ren also understands this very well. Every player and every link of the Lakers is an indispensable part of their current good record.

However, because of this, when Liu Ren does not perform well, it is actually difficult for Kobe to perform well.

If it is an ordinary opponent, this problem is not very serious, because the overall strength of the Lakers is strong enough.

But when facing a real opponent, this problem is a bit serious.

The playoffs are very different from the regular season, and sometimes a weak link can become a fatal weakness.

Especially opponents like the Warriors and Eagles are even more prominent.

But Liu Ren doesn't care much about this now, what he cares about is...

Why is Nick Young able to score 41 points? Why!Why can he play so well under the defense of the Eagles?Why is Nick Young unaffected by the same defensive tactics of the opponent?
