697. The Death Barrier Returns!
At the beginning of the second quarter, the most important task Liu Ren received when he came back was to suppress the morale of the pioneers.
Seeing D'Antoni's expression that everything has been handed over to you, Liu Ren said that if you are not a coach, I will definitely slap you in the face.
Didn't you see that there were already three people on the other side? Whiteside is a little difficult to do in the face of the Trail Blazers' group of interior lines that can open up space, and without such a violent center, the other people's style of play is really too pacifistic.
Speaking of the Lakers' lineup, the biggest problem is that the style of play is not violent enough, in fact, in the entire history of the Lakers, except for the O'Neal era, the style of play in other periods is mainly good-looking, even in the shotime era, it is only good-looking, and it has never been violent, even if Chamberlain, who is second only to O'Neal in history, is violent during the Lakers period, most of the offense is based on shooting, which is why they have been restrained by the Celtics' iron-blooded play for a long time.
Now the Lakers' violent style of play includes Liu Ren, Whiteside, LaVine, Antetokounmpo is not violent, after all, he is too thin, and Clarkson is limited by physical fitness, so he can only become a poor version of Westbrook, which is still very poor.
In fact, it can be seen from the scoring aspect that the Lakers have excellent shooters like Kobe, Nick Young, and Korver on the outside, and most of the scores are outside scores, and it is impossible to be violent.
With Alexander's task, Liu Ren took the field with his rotating teammates.
In the playoffs, Liu Ren's playing time is completely unlimited.
It's all in the playoffs, and it's still restricting yarn, and the regular season has been limited for so long, isn't it just for the playoffs.
The Trail Blazers traded Noah Vonleh and Gerald Henderson for Ed Davis.
At the end of the first quarter, the Trail Blazers pointed to Ed Davis to attack the interior and played a few minutes to choke on the line.
The Lakers also traded Green for Biyombo.
After a short break off the court, Noah Vonleh came up to take over from Ed Davis and continue to chisel inside.
Green has used shady tricks again and again, and there is Gasol, a mentor from Europe, although Gasol doesn't use those little tricks in the European arena very much, three doesn't mean that he can't! Gasol has taught a lot of European players to use a lot of tips to Green in the past two years, Green's defense can be said to be improving year by year, and it is said that honest people are more powerful than ordinary people when they use yin tricks, but in fact, Yan'er's bad guys use yin tricks more effectively than honest people.
The straight defense is likely to be blown foul by the referee, today's referee blow penalty scale is too strict, and Green's defense most of the time relies on his stronger body than others to defend, and the action is relatively large, otherwise how can he get the best defensive player with such a loss, so Green can only defend with those small actions that avoid the referee's sight.
Noah Vonleh was shaded by Green several times, but the referee did not move, and did not believe Noah Vonleh's expression and shouting at all, the referee was "upright", the referee was originally biased towards the Lakers, after all, this is the home court of the Lakers, and the female referee will blow all the fouls she sees, but she will definitely not blow what she can't see.
Noah Vonleh barely missed the shot under Green's harassment.
Green turned and picked up the ball that Noah Vonleh didn't shoot into his arms and passed it to Clarkson, who was closest to him.
After receiving the ball, Clarkson was pressed and sandwiched by the Trail Blazers players all over the court, trying to find Liu Ren, Liu Ren was rounded by Brian Roberts all over the court, not to mention, relying on good speed and stubborn defensive attitude, Brian Roberts can still go around the front in this kind of movement.
Clarkson quickly passed the ball to McCollum's hands, McCollum dribbled to the top of the Trail Blazers' three-point line arc, Liu Ren accelerated to a sharp stop, Brian Roberts, who was running with him, couldn't hold his foot and hit him, Liu Ren accelerated the moment he was hit and ran along the baseline, McCollum came with a delicate pass, used the ball to guide his teammates to run, the ball arrived, and sent the ball to the route that Liu Ren needed to pass.
Liu Ren rushed inside, Noah Vonleh on the Trail Blazers' side blocked under the basket, and Miles Leonard was also on the side ready to make up for the defense.
At this time, Liu Ren's best choice should be passing, but after looking at the two "scumbags" on the outside, as well as the offensive rookie on the inside, Liu Ren picked up the ball and took off directly!
Seeing that Liu Ren ignored himself and wanted to dunk directly, Noah Vonleh thought of receiving Liu Ren's rookie baptism in his rookie year during the Hornets period, and that feeling of humiliation came to his heart again, and this humiliation drove his competitive spirit to pounce on Liu Ren.
Can't cover it! Noah Vonleh found that he couldn't jump with all his strength, so he was very ashamed and angry, and threw his arm directly on Liu Ren!
Liu Ren was in pain, and this pain stimulated Liu Ren's adrenal glands, and he hit Noah Vonleh directly and smashed the ball into the basket!
"Boom"
Liu Ren forcibly blocked Noah Vonleh!
Miles Leonard on the side was stunned, he clearly heard the crisp sound of the two muscles colliding! The kind of head-to-head confrontation between two top physical players made him, a tall pitching midfielder who has always regarded himself as an elegant beautiful man, afraid to come forward to help!
“HO…… Wow...... boss-liu……”
Live DJ Crazy Scream!
The referee's whistle was late, and Noah Vonleh would have been a good defensive position, but the one he hit on Liu Ren's shoulder was definitely a foul!
The scene exploded instantly, and the fans cheered wildly.
was suppressed by the Trail Blazers for more than a quarter, and finally came to a brutal dunk!
After the fans at the scene made two fouls from the beginning of the Lakers, they couldn't even raise the boo.
They're the defending champions! The strength is so much stronger than the opponent, and it is suppressed, and even the opponent feels hot on the face.
Now I can finally indulge my voice!
It's been a long time since the boss has appeared like this!
This year, Liu Ren has been "transformed" and has become more and more versatile, and there are few opportunities for individual performance, after all, the Lakers can use too many people, and he does not have many opportunities to perform.
Finally, Liu Ren's death shackle appeared again! The fans are almost crazy! It's been a long wait!
Fans understand D'Antoni's approach and intellectually accept that Liu Ren plays most of the time, which can make Liu Ren's career longer.
However, if there is a moment when Liu Ren plays violently, they will never spare their throats!
Liu Ren moved his body, and it still hurt when he was hammered, but he was a pretending to be a prisoner, and he forcibly said that it was not painful, and nothing was more important than face!
Liu Ren's expression of "what are you calling, what is there to cheer about" made Noah vonleh furious!
Liu Ren walked to the free throw line, not to mention, Noah Vonleh is very strong in terms of bounce or speed and strength, otherwise he would not enter the lotto area, after all, physical fitness is something that cannot be taught, and it really had some impact on Liu Ren at once, Liu Ren's free throw hit the basket, and the rebound was protected by the Trail Blazers.
For the Trail Blazers, if they want to beat the Lakers in an upset, they need to do three things well, the first is morale, which is very important, and they are now relying on morale to support their fighting spirit.
The second is to cut off Liu Ren's connection with his teammates, which is what the defense has to do.
The third is passing, they only rely on limited strong points to attract attention, others block and run to get shots, passing is the first priority.
However, Noah Vonleh, who was humiliated by Liu Ren again, is ready to do it hard!
