super small forward

Chapter 616 616. The 40 points you will never get...

It was the Lakers' offense again, and Liu Ren held the ball in a high position.

This time it was Andre Robertson who defended Liu Ren.

Andre-Rober saw that Liu Ren's long-range shot was not good today, so he chose to take a step back to prevent the breakthrough, and directly gave Liu Ren a huge space.

However, there is a style of play called Barkley's style of play. Liu Ren took the initiative to stick to Andre Robertson who was standing one step outside the free throw line, and started playing back directly from the free throw line!
Liu Ren slammed and directly knocked Andre Robertson into the three-second zone!

Ibaka came up from the back to help defend, and Liu Ren immediately passed it to Antetokounmpo, who was pulled outside the three-second zone. In the contest between Adams and Green on the inside, Adams really couldn't take advantage of his strength and was defeated. Green stuck in position, Antetokounmpo took a dribble and made a move to play high. Durant on the outside had to give up defending Kobe and shrink in.

Antetokounmpo immediately threw the ball into the hands of Kobe who took the opportunity to run to the bottom corner. Kobe did not hesitate to make a three-pointer.

Kobe's off-ball play is so accurate!Sure enough to surprise everyone!Although some people have counted how efficient Kobe would be if he played off the ball before, except for the occasional one or two off-ball shooting opportunities, he basically had no chance to play off the ball, and he personally didn't like playing off the ball. , because he has never had so many powerful teammates to help him create opportunities, it is he who creates opportunities for his teammates.

So even though there were a lot of data to support Kobe's off-ball style before, this year is the first time to see Kobe's off-ball style in his career. The extremely high efficiency still shocked the fans. .

This time Kobe made an open three-pointer and accurately landed on the basket.

After several rounds, the Lakers finally scored again!
It's the Thunder's offense again.

Westbrook dribbles over and continues to pick and roll with Durant. After the pick and roll, he hands the ball to Durant who cuts near the baseline.

Durant took the ball, and it was LaVine who defended him. Durant directly bullied LaVine by more than 10 centimeters shorter than him, put his back on it, turned around and lifted the ball up!
Durant seemed to be raising his hand to attack. LaVine knew that this was probably Durant's fake move, but if he didn't jump up, Durant would really shoot directly in all likelihood. LaVine couldn't bear it in the end. Live jumped up.

Sure enough, Durant's big loop came, and he took the initiative to stick to LaVine, and the hand holding the ball hit LaVine's arm from bottom to top.

The referee's whistle sounded, Durant walked to the free throw line and made two free throws.

The Lakers called again, and LaVine advanced to the frontcourt.

Liu Ren continued to try to sit low, which attracted the Thunder's defensive attention. On the other side, Kobe made several open shots before. Durant didn't dare to let go this time. LaVine immediately passed it to Antetokounmpo. , Antetokounmpo cut to the basket and Ibaka had to pay attention to defending Liu Ren. When encountering Antetokounmpo's speed, he couldn't keep up. Green blocked Adams who wanted to make up the defense. Antetokounmpo made an easy layup.

71 to 75, the Lakers were only 4 points away from catching up, and the score continued to bite.

Thunder attack.

Westbrook really has no way to defend. In order to save Liu Ren's physical strength, LaVine is still on the defense. The main purpose is to consume Westbrook as much as possible.

Westbrook played relatively easily against LaVine alone, pretending to rush to the left, and then quickly changed direction and went back to the right.

Sometimes the reaction is too fast and the physical fitness is too good. In fact, there is a great weakness on the defensive end. The players with excellent physical fitness are often knocked down. On the contrary, the slow reaction has no idea what the opponent is doing, and the opponent changes direction. After the change, I realized that the guy guarding me didn't move, so I might as well just rush in.

But LaVine is such a good physical fitness and quick response, defense against Westbrook is not as good as Clarkson.

Westbrook made a sharp change of direction and knocked LaVine down!

Westbrook took back his steps and scored two points with a mid-range shot.

LaVine was tricked by Westbrook!Tuition fees always have to be taught!Playing next to Liu Ren and Kobe, LaVine has not been educated by his opponents. On the one hand, it is to give them face. time.

But Westbrook is not a person who cares about other people's face, no matter how good the relationship is, he will do it in the game!Even if LaVine is his junior at the same university.

The Lakers push the ball over.

Kobe Bryant's three-pointer and Antetokounmpo's direct cut to the basket for a layup. Although the Thunder still played well on the offensive end, their defensive end was completely messed up. They were not a good defensive team.

This time Liu Ren held the ball on the right side of the free throw line, and the Thunder's double-teaming began to hesitate. Go directly to the basket and dunk the ball directly into the basket.

Thunder attack.

Originally, because Kobe's defense is really bad now, the Lakers can only use Clarkson or LaVine to defend against Westbrook, and use Liu Ren to defend against Durant, because if Liu Ren defends against Westbrook, Kobe or LaVine can defend against Duran Special, it is estimated that he will be strangled to death by the giant swing.

But now Liu Ren found that he was not strangled to death by Durant's big loop, and was almost killed by Westbrook's mid-range shot. He chose to switch defenses with Clarkson. As for Kobe, he still went to defend Andre who only knew how to shoot. -Robertson.

Westbrook held the ball and wanted to break through, but Liu Ren's footsteps were fast, fast, strong, and quick to react. With his arms outstretched, he directly covered Westbrook. Westbrook is a player who relies on his physical fitness to play. Meeting players who are faster, taller and stronger than him is as helpless as he met James in the 2012 Finals.

Durant saw that Westbrook's situation was not good, and he immediately came to cover for Westbrook. When Durant moved over, Westbrook habitually started to move before the pick-and-roll because of his tacit understanding.

Westbrook began to move before the pick-and-roll was in place. In fact, it was the consciousness of a very good pick-and-roll ball handler.

But Westbrook's action made Liu Ren discover Durant who was quietly coming up to cover. Sometimes the pick-and-roll is to make the opponent's outside defender feel like a wall suddenly appears. If he finds it in advance, the effect will be much reduced.

And Durant... has a bamboo pole figure!Liu Ren took the initiative to push Durant away and continued to stare at Westbrook, but Durant's cover was completely useless.

Westbrook can only pass the ball to Durant.

In fact, Westbrook should have passed the ball to Durant, because Clarkson was defending Durant, but Westbrook wanted to prove himself and wanted to come by himself, so he delayed the pass for so long.

Durant took a step out of the three-point line, ignoring Clarkson's three-pointer!

At this moment, Kobe sneaked over without knowing when, and jumped up high with a roar!
When people get old, their explosive power and explosive speed will decrease, but in fact, they maintain a good weight, do not become fat, and the jump height does not drop that much. Just like Carter still often takes off now, Kobe is free from time to time after playing without the ball The chance to pick up, the jump height is still very good.

Durant is tall, jumping up and shooting is difficult to be interfered with.

But physical interference can't do it. Kobe's psychological interference did play a role. His loud roar and high jump after sprint startled Durant.

Kobe's interference was in place, and Durant missed a shot with a trembling hand!

Antetokounmpo grabs a defensive rebound!
The first ball the Lakers finally defended in recent times!

Antetokounmpo grabbed the rebound and threw it straight to the frontcourt. Liu Ren was already off the court immediately. After reaching the frontcourt, he caught the ball in even numbers and lightly put the ball into the basket, chasing the score to 79 to 81!

Only two points away!

The Lakers are not in a hurry at all, and the point difference is slowly recovered after steady and steady play. This is the confidence of the Lakers.

The Thunder were called timeout again!
The Lakers replaced LaVine with McCollum and continued to strengthen their defense. In other words, they used a wheel to deal with Westbrook. Clarkson couldn't defend, and LaVine couldn't defend either. Can't help it, but it only needs to consume Westbrook's physical strength.

Westbrook came over with the ball for a pick-and-roll, and Ibaka did a good job with the pick-and-roll this time. Westbrook rushed inside and made a throw, and the ball scored again!

The Lakers attacked, and Liu Ren went berserk again, and Adams scored 2+1 again with a dunk inside.
Adams committed five fouls, and Billy Donovan replaced Adams depressedly. Adams was the only rim protector for the Thunder. He had committed five fouls before finishing the third quarter.

The Thunder replaced Kanter here. Kanter seems to have good statistics, but his defense is far worse than Adams.

The Lakers replaced Green and Antetokounmpo with Biyombo and Whiteside, and Donovan was jealous.

Liu Ren made a free throw, 82 to 83, only one point away!

This score is scary enough, and the scoring frenzy driven by the Thunder in the third quarter made the score continue to rise.

Westbrook came over with the ball again, without him playing singles again, he was tired, and after coming over, he threw the ball to Durant, using himself as a three-pointer to contain the defense.

Westbrook, the stamina monster, was tired from the Lakers' wheel-to-wheel defense, and Durant was not much better. Durant had always had a problem with lack of physical strength in the final quarter. Although he hadn't finished the three quarters, Durant Lante's physical exertion under Liu Ren's defense was greater than that of Westbrook.

Durant really couldn't move, and directly chose to make a strong shot.

I have to say that Durant's shooting touch is really good, he almost scored, and the ball spun around the basket and came out.

Whiteside protected the rebound from the backcourt, and then passed the ball to Liu Ren immediately.

Liu Ren quickly dunked and succeeded, and the Thunder couldn't muster up the strength to chase and defend the fast break.

Overtake!

Westbrook came over at this time and missed a jumper again.

The Lakers continued to fight back, and Liu Ren hit a three-pointer with a chase.

The Thunder's main force is exhausted, but the Lakers have been rotating, and their physical strength is still quite sufficient!

The Thunder began to hit the iron continuously, and the Lakers began to counterattack frantically. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Billy Donovan had no choice but to let Westbrook and Durant, who were exhausted in the wheel battle, rest together. Quickly opened up the score, and by the 5th minute of the fourth quarter, the Lakers had opened the point difference to 15 points.

In the last few minutes, the Thunder replaced the main force and wanted to chase points, but it was too late. Even if the Thunder were with Westbrook and Durant, if they didn't break out, they would at most be comparable to the Lakers' rotation.

When Liu Ren was only one goal away from scoring 40 points, he was replaced by D'Antoni again...

最终刘仁狂砍37分10板5助攻帮助湖人队以125比113轻取雷霆拿到本赛季第23场胜利，战绩变成了23胜3负。

However, Liu Ren is very depressed... D'Antoni doesn't seem to want him to get 40 points!Liu Ren's current view of D'Antoni is that there are always people who want to harm him...
