Chapter 509. 509. The 76ers in Attack

The Lakers attacked, and Liu Ren held the ball in a high position.

The 76ers are now in charge of defending Liu Ren is Tony Roten. Roten was selected in the lottery, and he still had some strengths in college. His characteristic is that he has good defensive skills. defense.

But in the NBA, Roten's defense has some problems. His too thin body makes his defense less aggressive.

In addition, he is a young man who plays very honestly, and he doesn't even think of a way to target the opponent's narrow-mindedness. He just defends according to the normal defense.

A player who can really be called a good defender must be aggressive, like Liu Ren, or narrow-minded, like Bradley, or he can be a stalker.

But Roten is not. After he entered the NBA, he showed a wave of "true textbook-level defense" in the Grizzlies, and then was sent to the 76ers by the Grizzlies for a second round.

The second round of the lottery changed, and it can be seen what happened to the Grizzlies who originally wanted to make their defense stronger.

As for Roten, who became the starter after coming to the 76ers, he also had a three-pointer. Although his defensive skills can be described as excellent, although they are not as good as the Grizzlies require, they are not bad. Teammates in the transition period of the assassin are still available.

Rothen's defense has one characteristic-positive!

A very decent defense, and then he was knocked away by the brutal Liu Ren and went to the basket.

"Why are you stars so unreasonable? Be civilized!" Roten felt the tragedy in his heart.

The 76ers insider Noel came to the defense immediately, and entered the NBA as a defensive player. Noel is too aware of Roten's shortcomings.

He deserves to be a defensive genius who almost became the No. 2013 pick by defense. Although [-] was a small year in the draft, it is enough to see how powerful Noel's defense was in college.

But Liu Ren didn't care about Nuoer's supplementary defense, he just vacated, and he wanted to buckle!
If he is playing singles on the inside, Liu Ren will still be afraid of Nuo Er's jumping and blocking sense, but in this rushing situation, Nuo Er's thin figure...

Liu Ren simply rushed up and jumped into the air to confront Noel, making a violent layup!

"beep"

The referee whistles, defensive foul!
Nuoer patted Liu Ren's arm in the air when he lost to Liu Ren, and Liu Ren had already thrown it!

The ball is scored and a penalty is added!

It would be nice if Liu Ren's free throws were more accurate, but unfortunately he missed the free throw.

8 to 6, Liu Ren bit the score.

Still the same sentence, it's normal to be unstoppable, and the offensive end is wavering!

Liu Ren scored 2 points just now and missed the extra free throw. Noel, who grabbed the free throw rebound, immediately passed it to the little assassin. The little assassin immediately started, and the 76ers quickly ran back. Everyone on the Lakers focused on the little assassin's path, Covington's follow-up, and Noel's lob, ignoring Thomas Robinson!
Thomas Robinson followed up behind Liu Ren, who was chasing the little assassin, and was about to dunk after catching the ball!

Clarkson, another Lakers chasing to the three-second zone, had no time to block when he saw Thomas Robinson, so he could only hug Thomas Robinson, but Thomas Robinson threw the ball to the basket in the air and scored!
The Lakers played a two plus one, and the 76ers immediately returned one!And Liu Ren did not make a penalty, but was pulled away by the opponent by another point.

6 to 11, the Lakers are 5 points behind!
The start was overwhelmed by the 76ers, and D'Antoni finally couldn't help calling a timeout.

"Defense! Be sure to defend the opponent! Strengthen the outside rotation, Hassan, you replace Paul, defend the inside, and the others keep an eye on the opponent's outside, don't let the opponent counterattack..."

Now D'Antoni's emphasis on defense has not surprised Liu Ren.

Liu Ren was placed in the position he is best at defending free agents.

Liu Ren has never heard of this defensive free agent before. It is probably D'Antoni's original creation, because no team has ever played the zone defense like the Lakers, because it is impossible for a team to get him together with Green, The defensive combination of Whiteside and Antetokounmpo.

Even playing defense has to do something, Liu Ren is very interested in what is in D'Antoni's head.

The Lakers made a substitution, Whiteside replaced Gasol, the purpose is obviously to strengthen the defense.

Liu Ren also devoted himself to defense, and the Lakers' offensive core became Kobe.

It's true that Liu Ren is the Lakers' most offensive player, but Kobe has the most offensive means. With sufficient physical fitness, Kobe's role on the offensive end is no less than that of Liu Ren.

Kobe acts as an offensive arrow, and there are more options in terms of play. Of course, this option refers to high singles, low singles, three-point singles, various singles...

After returning from the timeout, the Lakers started an oppressive defense, with Whiteside, the ruler of the three-second zone inside, and the other four Lakers ran out to defend against outside shots and breakthroughs from the little assassins, ignoring Thomas Robinson.

For the 76ers, it is much more difficult for the little assassin to break through. Once he is double-teamed after breaking in, the safest choice is Thomas Robinson. Although Thomas Robinson is the No. 12 in the 5 draft Show, but he will be reduced to four teams in three years, and finally dumped to the 3ers, which shows that he is not only short, but also poor in technology.

But fortunately, the impact is still there, and it is very hard. After receiving the ball repeatedly, it forced the basket to score, which did not let the 76ers' offense fall into a particularly stagnant state.

In the 9th minute of the first quarter, the Lakers narrowed the point difference to only 1 point, 22 to 23 behind by only one point.

However, there is obviously a problem with the 76ers. When the main scorer becomes Thomas Robinson, they know that their very sharp offense has been interrupted recently.

The 76ers called a timeout, and Coach Brown finally found his presence and began to make substitutions.

D'Antoni also began to make regular substitutions. At the end of the regular season, Kobe couldn't play more.

Both teams replaced the substitutes, and the Lakers routinely replaced Jeremy Lin, McCollum, Nick Young, Antetokounmpo, and Whiteside.

Liu Ren was also replaced. Against the 76ers, although they were one point behind, even if D'Antoni was a little afraid of the team that had beaten them three times in a row, the opponent was the third from the bottom!It is impossible for D'Antoni to let Liu Ren play for too long.

If it weren't for the fact that the fans were too angry about the Lakers losing to the 76ers in a row, they were afraid of capsizing in the gutter again, saying that D'Antoni would let Kobe and Liu Ren rest.

The 76ers have Immel Smith, Jason Richardson, Luke Mbah a Moute, Chris Johnson and Henry Sims.

Sometimes you really don’t know if you don’t see it. Who would pay attention to the 76ers’ lineup in the past? They only noticed them during the draft.But if you take a closer look, the 76ers actually have so many role players!

If you really want to talk about the depth of the lineup, it is estimated that only the Lakers in the entire NBA can suppress the 76ers.

The 76ers have too many substitutes that make other teams envious. Immel Smith averaged 12 points and 6 assists last season. Before the little assassin came, he probably had the same data. Of course, after the little assassin came, the height of both of them is the same Can only play point guard, of course he can only play off the bench.

Jason Richardson, the former slam dunk king, averaged 9 points per game as a substitute this season, 17 points per game in his career, and 22+5+3 per game in his peak season.

Mbah a Moute, a brutal small forward who averaged 7 points and 5 rebounds in his career.

Chris Johnson, although he was undrafted, was rated as the most dynamic substitute, with a great running ability, a height of [-] meters and a three-pointer.

Henry Sims, also undrafted, has no place in the Cavaliers, and the 76ers, who were inexhaustible by a bunch of second-round picks, changed after the All-Star last season.Who knows that the Cavaliers have been looking for a big man, but they sent him away. He came to the 76ers and immediately averaged 11+7 per game. Beed's first substitute, although Embiid was reimbursed, but he was the substitute for Noel first. His shortcoming is that he can't defend well, but his scoring and rebounding are really good.

The 76ers were in roughly the same shape as the Knicks were when veteran assassin Isaiah Thomas was the general manager.

At that time, people had the impression that the Knicks were rotten, a veteran team with big contracts, and no other team looked down on a player.

Then in 2010, when Stoudemire joined, people suddenly discovered why the Knicks had accumulated so many good role players?

The 76ers are probably in the same situation right now.

The 76ers didn't have any vitality before, mainly because they didn't have a core, and they didn't have a superstar to lead the team. What's the use of just a bunch of role players, they are just role players.

Liu Ren looked at the latest version of the 76ers player report given by the assistant coach, and was stunned.

The little assassin became more and more powerful later on, and was regarded as a superstar by people, not only his statistics, but he should have led the Celtics to use the role players brought back by the Big Three to enter the top four in the Eastern Conference. He is a bunch of role players, he can do great things!

"Isaiah Thomas, the little guy, seems to shine wherever he goes! This combination of role players is no worse than the Celtics! If Embiid really has the legendary strength of the new generation of big dreams after his comeback? "
