super small forward

Chapter 55 55. The winning streak is in progress

Jordan Hill was traded away, Liu Ren guessed a few days ago, D'Antoni did not let him play in the Southwest Division after three games.

The Lakers are now strong inside, Gasol is old and strong, Green and Whiteside both need a lot of playing time, if they are used to replace them occasionally when there are too many inside fouls, Thackeray with a basic salary is enough. Detokounmpo, who can play power forward, Jordan Hill is indeed a bit redundant and a bit expensive.

The game will not stop just because teammates are traded away. On November 11, the Lakers, who returned to their home court, faced the challenge of the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Timberwolves ushered in the famous coach Rick Adelman and began to play in the Princeton system. The Timberwolves had Rubio, a point guard with excellent organizational skills, and Love, a power forward with top scoring and excellent passing skills. Princeton really played like that.But it didn't take long for their loopholes to be exposed. The point guard's scoring ability is really clumsy, and he can even go over the bridge for layups.

Yes, take the initiative to ask to defend Rubio for a round, because defending Rubio is so fulfilling!
Rubio looked at the empty Kangzhuang Avenue two meters ahead in a mess, and the Chinese small forward named Liu on the opposite side almost retreated into the three-second zone.Rubio was very annoyed in his heart, but he didn't dare to shoot. It would be funny if the open three-pointer shot was completely non-stick.

The Lakers have 5 defenses and 4, and the Timberwolves can't run out of space except for Rubio. He was slapped out of bounds by the big long arm of Gasol, the evil big brother of his national team, and then Gasol touched Rubio's head, as if comforting the poor child.

Rubio's organizational tactics of the Timberwolves failed.

So the Timberwolves started the No. [-] tactic, and Martin played singles.

Seeing that Martin was holding the ball, Bazemore, who had originally planned to defend Martin, decisively asked Liu Ren to switch defenses. He had absolutely nothing to do with a player of Martin's type.

Bazemore has outstanding physical fitness, so he is very active on the defensive end. It is not that being active is wrong, but his defensive experience is too poor. He was used to defend Martin when he was in the Warriors last year. Martin made 2 fouls in 4 minutes. Was replaced by the coach and sat on the bench.

At that time, Bazemore was wronged. As a rookie, he knew that defending Martin could not raise his hand before the opponent raised his hand. He raised his hand too early and fouled.

I have seen Liu Ren defending Harden with great experience, and then seeing Liu Ren defending Rubio so easy and fun, he decisively asked for a change of defense.

No way, the opponent's best outside scorer can only be defended by Liu Ren.

If you really want to talk about foul-making skills, Martin is worse than Harden, but Martin can do nothing but score, but the success rate of fouling is far lower than Harden.

To be honest, Liu Ren's defensive skills are average. He defended against Harden because he knew how to avoid fouls from the opponent. Martin's shot speed was extremely fast, and the method of defending against Harden was not very effective.To deal with Martin, Liu Ren directly used his best defensive method, oppressing the opponent with his body as soon as Martin entered the three-point line.

In front of Liu Ren, Martin's frail body was like a stripped young lady. He was trampled by Liu Ren arbitrarily, and there was no space for him to take off and shoot.

In addition to the strong defensive impact, Liu Ren's defense was very clean. He didn't get started, but he was stuck in Martin's forward route one step ahead, and he defended the opponent without giving him room to excel.

Martin is also an excellent scorer who has averaged 20 points per game for many years. The most commented by the media on him is regret. It is a pity that he does not even have the average physical fitness of an NBA player. He is thin and has no explosive power. The game requires a lot of shots, otherwise it means that he does not exist.

And what Martin is most criticized for is that he will disappear on the court every time he meets a top defensive player.

After being physically bullied by Liu Ren, what Martin thought was not to respond to his opponent, but to stick to his opponent...

Liu Ren, who had been prepared for a long time, jumped back immediately. At the moment he jumped away, Martin pushed the ball out of his hand and just threw it into Liu Ren's arms.

Martin wanted to make Liu Ren a foul. His shooting posture is similar to that of female basketball players. The shooting action of chest push is very fast. As long as Liu Ren meets Liu Ren, he pushes the ball out and then touches Liu Ren's arm. , to win a foul.

Martin's shot speed is extremely fast, and his thin body can win the sympathy of the referee. This trick has been tried and tested.

However, there have not been two games where Tony Allen pulls out of the giant swing and Marion plays the lamp god with his back. The method of dealing with Pengci was originally thought of by Marion and Tony Allen. -The trick used in the second half of the 13 season, Tony Allen used against Durant even in the playoffs.

Therefore, now Martin is still coquettish on the court, making fouls and flying.

And then... topped the top five embarrassment.

From the wonderful clip of O'Neill after the game, Martin jumped up suddenly and leaned forward to send the ball into Liu Ren's arms. live……

The slow-motion playback and O'Neill's funny dubbing made Martin well known.

Facing the Lakers' outside gangsters, the Timberwolves declared on the street from the outside line and were beaten badly.

With Gasol and Whiteside two big pick-and-rolls, Liu Ren broke into the inside with ease.Green or Antetokounmpo, no matter who is on the field, the first role is to use their height, vision, and dexterity to distribute the ball.

The biggest advantage is naturally Liu Ren. Every time Liu Ren uses the pick-and-roll to cut in, or throws off the opponent's defense and runs back, the two immediately send the ball over.

Due to the poor defense of the Timberwolves on the outside, Liu Ren often ran back and forth, and there was no one around. Later, Green and Antetokounmpo simply waited for Liu Ren to run out of space.

Liu Ren was as brutal as ever, making layups and dunks against the opponent's inside line.It is said that it is against the defense, but in fact there is no pressure at all. Whether it is Love or Pekovic on the Timberwolves side, when Liu Ren enters the inside, they will raise their hands symbolically to interfere, and then fight and retreat, not wanting to be in the background.

However, the Timberwolves have always been convincing people with virtue, adhering to the noble morals that you take away when you win, and the data I left behind. Kevin Love faced Gasol and Whiteside's defenses in turn and still scored 33 points firmly. The super large double-double of 20 rebounds made Whiteside have to admire the opponent's rebounding sense and ability to block positions.

Love belongs to the kind of player who is not tall, unhappy, and unable to jump. Apart from the top static strength among power forwards and excellent inside positioning, he has no physical advantage.
