super small forward

Chapter 538 538. Home Streak!

Back then, when Yang Yi praised the Warriors, he also praised the rest of the Warriors, which can be described as extravagantly hyped. Randall, the core of the offense, was also one of the members whom he praised to the sky. Now Yang Yi found that he seemed to be playing own face...

With Randall on the court, the Warriors will naturally use Randall as the starting point of the offense, otherwise he will be useless on the court. Liu Ren is not an opponent for rebounding, and Lakers center Whiteside is even more powerful. Randall is a player with obvious characteristics. He has strong impact and strong inside ability, but he can't run. Few players who entered the NBA after freshman play can run. If he doesn't get the ball, In addition to hitting the second rebound, it is a burden at other times.

In the last 4 minutes of the first quarter, Randall's performance under the defense of Liu Ren can be described as a disaster. The Lakers counterattacked continuously. After the first quarter, the Lakers led 34 to 24 by 10 points!
The Lakers replaced the Warriors with one big and four small ones, and the Warriors were caught off guard. The key is that Steve Kerr didn't expect Randall to be guarded by Liu Ren at all!
If Randall's shooting is developed in another two years and his on-court awareness evolves, this situation can definitely be avoided, but Randall is still a rookie, no matter how good his talent is, it is useless!

Steve Kerr with the tactical board resents Mark Jackson even more...

The first quarter was opened by [-] points, which was unexpected by Steve Kerr, just as D'Antoni worried that it would be difficult to open the score after being bitten by the Warriors. Once you pull it off, it's hard to get it back.

After the two sides completely replaced the bench lineup in the second quarter, the situation became obvious. The pure offensive lineup of Jeremy Lin, Nick Young, Korver, Antetokounmpo, and Green sent by the Lakers sent the Warriors. The lineup of Livingston, Barbosa, Iguodala, Speights, and Kuzmic is playing.

Although Iguodala played very well as the first organization point, the Lakers lineup can start, shoot, shoot, and shoot. The Warriors are completely unstoppable. Antetokounmpo and Jeremy Lin repeatedly cut in, and Green distributed the ball just right. By the official timeout of the second quarter, the Lakers had already led 55 to 40 by 15 points!
In the second half of the second quarter, when the two sides switched to the starting lineup again, they fell into a stalemate again. By the end of the first half, the Lakers entered the second half with a 68-52 lead of 16 points.

In the second half, the Warriors were out of luck. If the Splash Brothers didn’t play together, Liu Ren would go to guard Randall, and then the Lakers had the upper hand. It was a tie, and the Warriors had no better way to deal with it, which was to suppress the advantage of the lineup, just like the Warriors in Liu Ren's memory, which was to completely suppress the opponent.

After the Lakers opened the score at the end of the first quarter, there were no major surprises in the game. The Lakers maintained their advantage of more than [-] points until the end.

Liu Ren was not the main point of attack in this game, but he released his scoring ability, all kinds of counterattacks flew off, and he scored 22 points and 15 rebounds on 37 of 9 shots, leading the Lakers to a 117-105 victory. Get the first victory in the Western Conference Finals!
……

……

After playing the first game with the Warriors, the Lakers are determined.

As long as they play normally, they all know that this round of the series is considered stable!
People have also seen that the Warriors may have the potential to be as good as the Lakers in the future, but their key team core is still too young! The 19-year-old Randall is not perfect enough to serve as the core of the team, or a rookie who is not mature in all aspects is still a little tender to serve as the core of a team that aims to win the championship.

However, if the Warriors want to go further, they must rely on Randall as the core of their offense, just like Green was their core in Liu Ren's memory.

This is the same as the Lakers in the Kobe and Gasol era. The core is Gasol, not Kobe.

The core of the Warriors has never been Curry or Thompson, the two super scorers, but Randall or Iguodala. The best player is not necessarily the core, because the core has to do things very differently from the scorer , Just like Jordan has never been the core, Pippen is.

The day after the first game between the Lakers and the Warriors ended, the Eastern Conference finals between the Cavaliers and the Eagles also began.

James is gone forever on the road to start the full-strength Zhan mode. Scoring, rebounding, assists and even block defense must all be covered.

不过全力詹也确实厉害，一个人生生把老鹰给摧毁了，东部决赛首战詹姆斯狂砍42分7板12助攻4盖帽3抢断的超级全能数据把老鹰击溃，带领骑士队101比95力克老鹰
In the East, James is still invincible!
On May 5th, the Lakers ushered in the second game of the Western Conference Finals at home. It was still a familiar formula and a familiar taste. Steve Kerr really couldn't help it!It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice!What if the lineup is just not enough for the Lakers?What should I do if I can't guard Kobe in the low post?When double-teaming Kobe, I saw Liu Ren's all kinds of strong dunks under the basket and waves from the outside - what can I do with the shot?Double-teaming Liu Ren and the rest of the Lakers team, what should we do?
There is no way to solve it all!At most, the main force is about the same as the Lakers, and at most it has a slight advantage. The Warriors are completely dominated by the Lakers during the stage of the second team and the completely rotated bench lineup.

The Lakers became more proficient in the containment strategy of the Warriors. Liu Ren scored 41 points in the second game, and the Lakers won 129 to 100.

The two home games are over, followed by two consecutive away games.

However, for the Lakers and Warriors, it is actually the best to play series against each other. In terms of physical fitness, there is no need to worry about the impact of the journey, because there is no need to fly, and the bus will arrive in a few hours. The fans interfered, and the Lakers' plan was to go there that morning.

After playing the Warriors, the Lakers had to rest for two days, and the third game was played on the 30th. Although the team did not have a holiday, and a training session was arranged the next morning after the Warriors, D'Antoni was still very humane. Disbanded, the series is in progress, the Lakers' tactical discipline has always been very strict this year, and it is more important to rest at this time.

In fact, the better the team record, the better the team discipline. Everyone has tasted the benefits of discipline. The game is easier, the record is better, the team is more harmonious, and more attention... There are too many benefits.

The impact of winning is a virtuous circle.

After the training session on the morning of the 28th, Liu Ren returned home after eating the damn nutritious meal at the Toyota Center.

The end of the playoffs is getting closer and closer. The draft lottery has been scheduled for June 6th. The teams that have not entered the playoffs and the playoffs have already begun to send invitations and acceptances to the participating players. The agent's trial training request, the teams that have not entered the playoffs can already start the joint trial training for the top 18 players in the NBA's official rookie list. Trained.

This year's favorites Towns, Russell, Mudiay, Okafor... Don't think about these players, they must be able to get the top few picks, and Towns is the No. 76 pick without any suspense. The Humans and Bucks are waiting.

Trial training is mainly necessary after the top three picks. The top three picks in this draft year are the same as last year's top three picks. There is no suspense at all.

The rookies who are likely to be selected into the lottery zone have long been selected by those big-name agents. These days at the end of May are the time for those mid-to-late stages or second-round or even undrafted picks to be contested.

As soon as Liu Ren entered the house, the girl's call came.

"Aren, I've already signed Booker and Porzingis, forget about Booker, we promised to help him sign the sneaker endorsement, and he agreed to sign, but Porzingis' buyout contract is so expensive! His agency actually offered 50 euros, and we have to pay half of it for him. Is it really a good deal to sign him?" The chick opened her mouth in distress for the money, "Aren, are you sure these two guys are geniuses? He's just an ordinary starter at the University of Kentucky. , Porzingis, if you don’t tell me, I haven’t even heard of it.”

"So let you watch the ball more! Don't focus on the NBA all day long. How many players in the NBA can be poached by you for free! Although Booker is not a popular rookie, it is difficult to enter the lottery zone, but his The aura of playing is very good, we must have made money by signing him, Porzingis is the most talented center in Europe, and he must be recruited." Liu Ren began to talk nonsense in a serious manner.

Liu Ren's nonsense is nonsense, but the 2015 rookies were not favored at the beginning, and Booker, who didn't even have an agent, and Porzingis, who came from Europe, were the two most upset players this year. Erzingis' talent can even be compared with Downs, and Booker will take advantage of the team's first injury after the All-Star Weekend next year to seize the opportunity to play his own strength and become the best guard in 2015, even better than the second place in the list. Searle is even better!

What these two people have in common is that they were called an upset during the draft, and they were not favored at all. Booker didn’t even have an agent at that time. If it doesn't come out, they can also raise hundreds of thousands of commissions for the two-year guaranteed contract of the lottery rookie!But at the end of their rookie season, the two were touted by the media and fans, and Booker became the object of pursuit by famous agents.

Liu Ren had long wanted Xiao Niu to send someone to contact the two, but the NCAA stipulated that once a player had an agent, he had to withdraw from the NCAA competition, so after the two submitted their applications to the NBA in the middle of this month, Liu Ren Let the chick sign these two.
