Chapter 81. Organizing Attacks by Roaring

Whiteside handed the ball to Marshall. Marshall swept his eyes and immediately made a long pass in a straight line. Liu Ren, who was fast down, received the ball comfortably. It is said that Marshall, who only downloaded the Nash pass package, has a really strong passing ability. Liu Ren A tomahawk dunk scored two points.

6 to 9, the Lakers are still three points behind.

It's Thunderball again.

Durant continued to break through, but Liu Ren had nothing to do with the opponent. If he didn't stick to it, he would shoot.

However, Durant was very afraid of Whiteside and chose to make a two-point stop and miss.

Whiteside protected the rebounds as he promised.

The Thunder retreated quickly, worthy of being a championship-level team, and even Perkins struggled to run back to his home lane.

For the Lakers, Liu Ren is still playing singles. There is no way. After Green, Gasol and even Farmar are injured, the Lakers can only rely on Liu Ren to play an advantage to attract double-teams. Has Nick Young's ability to ignore defenses.

Liu Ren faced Durant with the ball outside the three-point line.

Liu Ren now feels that he urgently needs to replenish his skill base. He is very strong in front-up offense, but his back-up is too poor. He used to say that James’s good physical fitness is too wasteful if he doesn’t use his back-up. Now he knows the back-up No matter how difficult it is, unless it is O'Neill, Randolph, or the peak Howard who is hard in the low post, others will ignore you if they don't have an excellent mid-range and short-range shot.

Now Liu Ren's situation is very embarrassing, let's go in, there are a lot of people inside, the high position is double-teamed, and Durant's height interferes too much when shooting from outside the three-point line.He finally understood why Kobe faced Durant in the later stages of his career so uncomfortable. In the later period, Kobe focused on shooting, and even basically relied on shooting. Even if Durant's height is not as strong as Kobe's, he can still rely on his height when he is pushed away by Kobe. The wingspan gave Kobe a lot of interference.

In the end, Liu Ren chose to control the ball at a high position. Firstly, the emergency stop jump shot was still a bit accurate, and secondly, he could pass inside.

With 14 seconds left in the attack time, Liu Ren accelerated to squeeze Durant to the right of the free throw line. Sure enough, Sefulosa immediately double-teamed, and Wesley Johnson was still at a 45-degree angle, which did not have any effect on opening up space. Location.

"Go to the bottom corner for me!"

Liu Ren couldn't bear it any longer, and yelled at Wesley Johnson.

Wesley Johnson froze for a moment and ran to the bottom corner, Sefulosa quickly chased after him.

"?"That'll be fine?

Liu Ren was also taken aback for a moment, so it was enough to direct his teammates to move by shouting?
That's right, that's it. In fact, he only needs to make a gesture to Wesley Johnson when he breaks through. It's just that Gasol and Green were doing these things before, and he was also the one who was directed. Let him He didn't react when he was directing.

Seeing that the red light was about to turn on, Liu Ren quickly concentrated.

Facing Durant's long arms, Liu Ren accelerated towards the bottom line and returned to the top arc with a roar. Wesley Johnson immediately started running to the top arc.

Both Durant and Sefulosa thought that Liu Ren was going to pass the top arc and ran towards Wesley Johnson.

However, Liu Ren did not pass, but rushed to the bottom corner, turned around and shot a three-pointer!
"Swish"

hit!

"So it turns out that you don't have to rely on yourself alone in singles, you can also create better opportunities for yourself by relying on your teammates." Liu Ren thought to himself.

Although the Lakers are talented, most of them can only be role players. They don't have that kind of big picture view. Thanks to Liu Ren's little big picture view, although it may only be suitable for small-scale cooperation, the coach arranges The formation space is wide enough.

Why are Paul and James so good that they can at least make the playoffs to a bottom team?Relying on precise passing alone?

Passing alone may not be able to find a player as accurate as Marshall's passing in the entire NBA. If Marshall gives him possession of the ball in a game, he can get more than ten assists, but the team's offense may be poor. Because if no one is in a position with a direct scoring opportunity, he can only pass to others casually, and he has no ability to attract double-teams to create scoring opportunities.

Paul and James are different. In addition to passing the ball accurately and relying on their own offensive ability to attract double-teams, they can also command teammates to move, use offensive teammates to attract opponents' defense, and mobilize the opponent's defense to make mistakes. Teammates create gaps.

So sometimes Paul and James don't have a lot of assists, but they are still the best organizers.

Liu Ren, who had found some sense, began to cooperate with Wesley Johnson's verbal commands. The more he played, the better he played. When the opponent was attracted by Wesley Johnson, he shot the ball. Both of them double-teamed him, and he passed to Wei Slee Johnson shot a three-pointer or made an air cut to hit the inside. Ibaka threw it to Antetokounmpo when he came out to help defend. Antetokounmpo was in the air. Perkins had nothing to do. The number of times reached two and was replaced by Thunder coach Brooks with Adams. Adams was about the same as Perkins. He averaged 3 points and 4 rebounds per game.

If the Thunder only use Durant to defend Liu Ren alone, instead of double-teaming, Liu Ren has no choice but to fight hard, simple and straightforward.

All of a sudden, the Lakers' offense changed from the constipated style of play when Liu Ren didn't find a direction at the beginning, to a very purposeful one.

Conversely, for the Thunder, Durant felt very good, so he chose to play singles continuously, hitting all three-pointers, mid-range shots, and floating shots, with a high hit rate.And this year Durant developed some passing ability and sent two assists to Sefolosha, who was vacant in the running position.

The scores of the two sides continued to rise. After more than eight minutes in the first quarter, the Thunder led the Lakers by 29 points 25 to 4. Durant scored 29 points in the Thunder's 20 points. The others except Severosa made two mid-range shots. With 4 points, only Adams scored 1 point from free throws, and Westbrook scored 4 points with two counterattacks.

For the Lakers, Liu Ren scored 11 points and 4 assists.

It was the Lakers' turn to attack again, and the Thunder's defensive pressure on Liu Ren was obviously much greater than before. Durant directly stuck to Liu Ren without the ball at halftime.

Seeing that there was no way for Liu Ren to catch the ball, he gestured to Marshall to point up, and then rushed directly to the inside. Durant turned around and found that Liu Ren had already rushed to the free throw line, and he couldn't even catch up.

"Hassan get out of the way!"

Liu Ren roared and took off from the free throw line with one step. Marshall on the other side was very obedient and threw the ball to the basket at the right time. Liu Ren felt very comfortable when receiving the ball in the air.

As for Adams who was standing in the joint collision zone... Liu Ren chose to buckle him!

Adams is not the bearded man in the back, he is still a big white boy just two months after he entered the league, but he has been that villain since he entered the league, rushing towards Liu Ren with all his teeth and claws.

"Give me in!" After receiving the ball, Liu Ren exerted all his strength in his waist and abdomen, and dunked the ball towards the basket!
