Finally, it was the turn of the position to attack, and this was the first time that Liu Ren had fought a complete positional attack in the true sense. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After dribbling the ball past half-court, he handed it to Clark and started running.

Mills couldn't keep up with Liu Ren's pace, Leonard immediately switched defenses to keep up, Mills pestered Clark on the outside, and the defensive switch was almost seamless.

D'Antoni's defense is equal to nothing, the offense is really strong, even Thackeray's stuffy head can understand his tactics, at the right time to block Leonard who is chasing the defense, Liu Ren smoothly entered the three-second zone, Clark passed the ball in time, Liu Ren received the ball and flew to the basket to score.

Looking back at the Spurs' offense, Mills is not as conceited as Neil, and will not give Liu Ren the opportunity to score easily, the Spurs play steadily according to the tactics, and Dio covers for the small man, pulling the ball to the bottom corner and hitting a three-point shot.

It's the Lakers' turn to attack again, the Spurs defense is very balanced, if Duncan is there, it will be perfect, but Duncan is not there, and the defense on the inside is much, much weaker.

Liu Ren was like a sharp knife, stabbing into the Spurs penalty area again and again.

In terms of strength, Liu Ren found that although he was thin, he was not scared of Leonard at all, and his speed was even faster.

The Spurs seized the opportunity of Howard's absence, blossomed inside and out, and Dior acted as a transit station to organize the offense.

In terms of lineup, the Spurs had a clear advantage outside the three-point line, and when they reached an official timeout more than halfway through the second quarter, the difference was narrowed by five points by the Spurs, and the Lakers led 51-36.

So far, to the surprise of the Lakers, Liu Ren has scored 22 points in less than half time!

"Dwight came on the court to replace Robert, and continued to smash their inside line hard for me, to let them know that we are not casual dishes! Pick us as a playoff opponent...... "D'Antoni is more stubborn and prefers offense, which does not mean that he is stupid, and naturally knows Popovich's well-known mind. Although he knows that there is a chance that he will not be able to beat the Spurs with a full lineup, he has already begun to think about how to slap the Spurs in the playoffs, and he can't make the other party too proud.

Moreover, D'Antoni believes in his luck very much, when the Knicks were about to be unable to mix, Jeremy Lin appeared, and then he was about to find a job, the Lakers gave him a Big Four coach, and also found a disciple Nash to let him take off.

Although these have failed, and now even Kobe Bryant has been damaged, just when D'Antoni felt that the future was not bright, he happened to see Liu Ren's alternative "four-point" performance, and suddenly wanted to let Liu Ren play the starter, but no one used it anyway, and it was almost the same to let Liu Ren or Goldlock play the starter.

Liu Ren's delicate touch and good technique and selfless style of play...... Well, D'Antoni is looking for psychological comfort, when he thinks back on Liu Ren's performance in the past season, he all recalled Liu Ren's advantages, and then let Liu Ren start with a prayer mood.

And then it turned out to be better than expected! When Jamison, Howard and even Blake were resting, Liu Ren scored 14 points in a row in the first half of the quarter, and he didn't let the Spurs close the point difference!

Although the way Liu Ren scored was different from D'Antoni's heart, which relied on a soft touch and selfless passing, the result was the same, D'Antoni didn't care about this, he thought that God really treated him well......

There is a group of idealists in the NBA, the most successful of which is Phil Jackson, whose triangular offense that no one knows what it means, relying on the luck of the sky, using this belief-like system to lead five superstars to 11 championships.

Then there's Larry Brown, who has a very good tone, who wants to build a starless team and doesn't want to have privileged players, so he doesn't want to compromise with players like Iverson at his disposal, and finally succeeds with the Pistons Five Tigers.

The less successful idealists were led by Nelson Sr., whose crazy offensive plan upturned a regular season championship, but it was the only one.

D'Antoni is also one of the idealists, and like Nelson Sr., he advocates offense, and his dream is to win a championship by attacking.

From the bold use of Jeremy Lin in the first place, and the bold use of unused Earl Clarke this season, it can be seen that he is really coaching as he wants, but unfortunately this is Los Angeles, and the fans here are not as tolerant as the fans in Phoenix.

"Liu, do a good job, you continue to play, rely on Dwight to contain the opponent's defense and score, you cut into the inside line and no one can stop the opponent!"

Yes, D'Antoni put another round of ideals on Liu Ren.

Howard was overjoyed to hear D'Antoni's words, and this team finally had someone recognize his ability, Howard thought.

His thoughts are very strange, he doesn't really care about the right to shoot, and he didn't have the right to shoot during the magic period, he only grabs rebounds and scores twice on offense, and rarely has a chance to play alone.

After coming to the Lakers, he actually had more opportunities to attack with the ball than during the Magic period, and the Lakers sacrificed for him for almost half of the season, until they fought for a playoff spot after the All-Star break, and Kobe Bryant and others didn't pay much attention to him.

Howard doesn't need the ball, it's recognition!

For example, what D'Antoni said just now, Howard's understanding is that D'Antoni sees him as the strongest part of the team, creating scoring opportunities for his teammates, which shows his value.

Instead of Kobe and Gasol, Kobe and Gasol both used themselves as a containment point and let Howard score, which made Howard feel despised while not getting used to it.

My Warcraft Uncle has always created scoring opportunities for others, when did he fall to accepting the scoring opportunities created by others?

Well, if Liu Ren knew about Howard's magical thinking, he would definitely complain to death, but since there is a person with a clear brain circuit like him, it is not surprising that a person with magical thinking like Howard exists.

In fact, if Kobe and Gasol are partnering with Howard, they use him more as an offensive containment point, let him play less singles, and pull away more mid-to-long-range shots, so that he has enough space on the inside, and to do these two things, Kobe Bryant's mid-to-long-range shooting level will be much less pressure, and this year's Kobe Bryant's mid-to-long-range shooting level has reached the peak of his career, if he really does these two points, maybe this Big Four combination may succeed.

It's actually that simple to say, but it's come to this, even if they all know what to do, there is no Kobe Bryant who is at the second peak of his career.

The game continued, Popovich replaced Neal, Green, Leonard, Dio, Split, the strongest existing lineup, Popovich also wanted to fight, although he was ready to lose to let the Lakers enter the playoffs as seventh, but he really didn't want the Lakers to play the momentum, especially when he saw the No. 1 opposite, the stitch-like running position, the excellent ability to impact the basket, made him feel a little unhappy, he saw Liu Ren's potential, his physical fitness was too good, and it seemed that the ball quotient was also good.

"RC, can you get me that Chinese kid on the other side? I think he was like an 11-year second-round pick and his contract was supposed to expire. Popovich asked RC Buford, the team's general manager, who was sitting behind him.

As one of the top team management in the league, he can tell almost any player in the league, and he can also say a lot outside the NBA, and he has basically read their information about the top 1,000 basketball players in the world.

"Are you optimistic about him? He did well today, but based on his previous information, I don't think I'm optimistic. Buford didn't have much doubt about his tone, he had seen Popovich's ability to turn waste into treasure many times, and if others didn't use it well, maybe he would become a good player when he came to the Spurs.

Popovich did not continue the topic, and Buford did not continue to ask any more questions, and he began to prepare for contact with Liu Ren.
