super small forward

Chapter 568 568. Is someone mad?

After the timeout, Curry saw that the Lakers were still in the regular lineup, and immediately felt that the opportunity had come. He felt very comfortable with the current team's style of play, although last season Steve Kerr The style of play has allowed him to reach a new peak in his career, but after Wharton came this year, he transformed the team system to make him feel more comfortable, and he really felt like he was entering the sea.

It was still the same style of play at the beginning of the game. After Curry advanced to the frontcourt, Randall came out to pick and roll Curry, and then the two cut in almost parallel to the inside. Both Liu Ren and Green focused more on Curry. Curry immediately passed to Randall, and then ran outside.

If it was the Lakers' defense in the first quarter, it would be natural for Green to chase Curry, Liu Ren to block Randall, and then Green was thrown away by Curry, and Randall immediately sent the ball to Curry. If no one is helping to defend Curry, then Curry will shoot, and if someone makes up, Curry will pass.

However, Curry felt frightened this time. Both Liu Ren and Green rushed towards him. Randall was left on the right side of the penalty area just like that. Startled, both Clarkson and Antetokounmpo blocked him, ignoring Barnes completely.

It's embarrassing for Randall to hold the ball at this time!
Gouging inside?

Randall looked at Whiteside's hunk, with one arm holding Jason Thompson behind him and struggling, he couldn't do it. It's better not to force the inside or something... Although Randall is not afraid of death, it's not death On the basketball court.

CIC?

Randall thought about the feeling of being scolded by Steve Kerr, and then thought about his mid-range shooting percentage of about [-]%...

So Randall threw the ball to Barnes who stood on the three-point line of the top arc and stood in a daze after no one cared after the top arc and Thompson's pick-and-roll.

"..."

Barnes was silent for a second, and found that no one was paying attention to him, so he picked up the ball and shot it. It's silly not to shoot this kind of ball that is unguarded!
The moment Barnes shot, Liu Ren was a little worried. What if Barnes didn't make it from the start to the finals this year?Didn't want to brush the data to get a big contract but was so iron?What if people are so conscious?Didn't see Green willing to take 1000 million less?
But when Barnes' top arc three-pointer fell directly into Whiteside's hands, everyone was stunned.

Everyone thought that the last 4 minutes of Barnes in the first quarter was due to the absence of other Warriors stars, and he was under too much defensive pressure. Who would have imagined that this shot was completely unguarded and had enough time to adjust? dip!
D'Antoni and Bickerstaff are even worse. Just now when Liu Ren said that he would not defend Barnes at all, they objected, thinking that Barnes' defense should be weakened to attract the Warriors to pass the ball. enough.

And Liu Ren clearly remembers that Barnes not only dropped his three-point shooting percentage to 30.00% this season, but the most important thing is that his open shots this year are so good that people are fascinated. , there are about 30.00% five, and the shooting percentage of unguarded outside shots will be 20.00% five...

No one can really explain this kind of weird thing. Liu Ren traveled a little earlier. He didn't know that Barnes's shooting rate was even more incredible in the finals of the 2015-2016 season. Reaching an astonishing 14.00%, the finals shot more than 30 close to 40 three-pointers and only hit 5 times...

It can be said that this year's Barnes is the only sinkhole for the Warriors.

Seeing that Barnes was as "stable" as he remembered, Liu Ren breathed a sigh of relief. The sinkhole in the Warriors' main lineup is still there.

Today is only a preseason game. It seems that the Lakers quickly overtook the score after starting off the game, but this is only a preseason game. In the playoffs, the Warriors will not send so many substitutes. It is not impossible for the main force to play the whole game. If their main force plays well, the Lakers will be very dangerous when it comes to the Western Conference Finals.

Yes, Liu Ren has regarded the Warriors as his opponent in the Western Conference Finals. He doesn't think any team can squeeze them out or the Warriors can reach the top two in the Western Conference.

Steve Kerr was even more startled and stood up, but maybe he stood up too suddenly after sitting for a long time, he actually pulled his back, and immediately sat down with a distorted expression.

This scene happened to be captured by the camera. Seeing Steve Kerr's expression, people thought he was angry...

Barnes' shot scared the Lakers into forgetting the fast break. When everyone realized it, the Lakers' fast break opportunity had already been lost.

But if you can't play fast break, don't play, let's go to the ground!

With Whiteside on the court, the Lakers already have a huge advantage in positional warfare.

Clarkson was transported to the frontcourt, and after Green, Whiteside, and Antetokounmpo all stood under the basket, under the surprised eyes of Barnes, Clarkson faced Barnes who was seven or eight centimeters taller than himself directly. Make a strong three-pointer!

A strong feeling of being slapped in the face surrounded Barnes, whether Clarkson entered or not, Barnes felt slapped in the face.

However, Clarkson's strong shot really didn't score, the ball bounced high, and then Antetokounmpo grabbed the offensive rebound from the encirclement of Whiteside and Green and gently pushed it into the basket.

As for the Warriors' inside line...it was completely blocked by Whiteside and Antetokounmpo, and the camera couldn't see them at all.

And Curry, who was defending Antetokounmpo, saw that Antetokounmpo was so tall and his hands were so long. When he went inside to grab rebounds, Curry didn't even stretch his hands.

It makes sense to reach out!

It's cheating for these three Lakers players to play together!
Just as Curry thought, Steve Kerr cursed again when he saw this scene, and then straightened his back in excitement, tearing and pulling to his back...

The Warriors attack, the Lakers are still the same routine, Whiteside sits on the basket, whoever dies, Curry and Thompson are double-teamed without the ball, trying to run and pick and roll, there is no way, Randall thought that Barnes must have made a mistake just now, It was definitely an accident, because Barnes was so accurate in training that he was almost catching up with Thompson.

So Randall passed it to Barnes.

Barnes was a bit hesitant to continue shooting today after the last attack. The feng shui here at the Staples Center seems to be a bit inconsistent with him. How can he not stick to it?
But when he saw Clarkson ignoring him in the defending round just now, he was instantly angry. A small second-round second-year player actually ignored him. He felt that his big contract this year was in crisis!
So Barnes made another decisive move...

This time it wasn't so crooked, but it still hit the rim. Whiteside overwhelmingly overwhelmed Randall and Jason Thompson to grab the defensive rebound.

This time the Lakers reacted quickly. The moment Barnes made a shot, the four who had double-teamed Curry and Thompson immediately went down. The frontcourt was 4 for 0. Whiteside grabbed the defensive rebound and just threw it to the center line, as witty as Clark Sen was the first to go down quickly, and Green passed the ball immediately after receiving the ball. Clarkson scored two points with a one-handed dunk.

If a thing that used to do well before fails under the most perfect conditions, it can be one, others will take it as an accident, or two, others will think that you were not in a good state before, and you can adjust after having two chances return.

But when this happens for the third time, the person who helped you will scold your mother.

Barnes hit the iron for the third consecutive open shot!

The Warriors were counterattacked by the Lakers again!This time Liu Ren reacted faster than Clarkson and completed a tomahawk-style dunk. Loud cheers broke out on the scene. The vigorous dunk will always be loved by Lakers fans.

At this time, the referee suddenly blew the whistle, and Liu Ren was a little confused. Could it be considered a foul for dunking too handsomely?
When Liu Ren looked in the direction of the referee, he saw that there was commotion on the Warriors bench. Steve Kerr curled up on the bench in pain, and the surrounding players, coaches, and staff were in a mess. riot.

"Damn! Steve Kerr got mad at Barnes? The preseason game! It's not going to happen!"
