603. Never admit defeat!
Zhang Ran is an ordinary Chinese worker whose hobby is watching the NBA, and his home team is the Los Angeles Lakers.
He started watching the NBA when he was an elementary school student when the first dynasty of the new millennium Lakers of the new century began, and he was attracted by O'Neal's dominance and Kobe's strong scoring ability, and fell in love with the Los Angeles Lakers from then on.
Although there have been a few lows in the middle, the Lakers who are still at the top of the pyramid all year round fill him with pride.
Even Kobe Bryant's major injury and the collapse of the Big Four in the past two years did not make him give up hope for the Lakers.
Sure enough, the Lakers later excavated Liu Ren from the bench lineup, and then introduced a group of young rising stars to quickly return to the championship.
Now Zhang Ran has graduated from college and still often watches the Lakers' games, the Lakers have been gaining momentum in the past two or three years, and they are recognized as the biggest favorites for the championship, although the Warriors have sprung up this year, enough to compete with the Lakers last season who is more ferocious, but he still thinks that the Lakers are the biggest favorites to win the championship, and he thinks that the Lakers are the strongest, this is the fan plot.
However, what makes him very unhappy is the Lakers' record against the 76ers in recent years, which is really strange, the Lakers don't fight anyone, and they have a big chance of winning, but they are strange to lose when they play the 76ers.
This time, the Lakers came to Philadelphia again to challenge the 76ers, Zhang Ran thinks the Lakers should win, right?
Lakers games usually start late, and this time it only started at 11 o'clock Beijing time, and Zhang Ran came to the Internet café to watch the live broadcast as soon as he got off work at noon.
But what caught his eye was a big score of 35-68, Zhang Ran rubbed his eyes vigorously, yes! It's 35 to 68!! The Lakers trailed the 76ers by 33 points on the road! This is the data that the half is not over yet!
My Avalokiteshvara! What the hell is going on! Did the 76ers have such a mouth?
What are you doing, Lakers! Even if Kobe Bryant didn't play, the lineup was better than the 76ers! How to make this virtue? Even if there is a curse on the 76ers, it won't be so miserable!
……
……
From the beginning of the game, the 76ers went on a rampage, and the two-gun combination of the little assassins and Russell fired wildly, quite like the Eastern Splash Brothers, and the two combined for 25 points in the first quarter to lead the 76ers to an 18-point lead over the Lakers 35-17.
The 76ers' ferocious scoring is not the key, the key is that the Lakers are tough today!
Today, the Lakers feel extremely bad on the outside! When the Lakers failed to shoot from the outside several times in a row, the 76ers began to shrink.
And the Lakers are shooting more and more, and the 76ers shrink even more, resulting in the Lakers not being able to shoot and rebound.
After the start of the second quarter, Isaiah Thomas fell into a rampage! Russell, Chris Johnson, and Covington all had good shots, and they all felt good today, and the shots were accurate, opening up space for Isaiah Thomas to break through and play alone.
Isaiah Thomas was in great shape today, scoring 34 points and 9 assists before halftime, and leading the 76ers to a 33-point halftime lead into garbage time with his crazy performance.
The feel of the Lakers players is called a cold! The ensemble played a Jay Chou song - Milan's little blacksmith, is this a tribute to Kobe? Even D'Antoni has nothing more to say.
He couldn't even believe this kind of score, this is the kind of score that makes the head coach can't even get angry, it's really weird!
The last attack in the first half, the Lakers, the burden was on Liu Ren, the team had not scored for a long time, and he decided to come by himself.
The power of Liu Ren's breakthrough is very strong, and he easily broke through Covington.
With too much lead, the 76ers also seemed to be a little slack, and the contraction was not so decisive, and they were killed by Liu Ren on the inside.
The 76ers' two interior lines were pulled to the middle distance by Green and Monroe, and Liu Ren faced an empty basket!
The Lakers' weird slump in the entire first half, being beaten by the other party can't even get angry and can't raise a temper at all, the Lakers are about to collapse, and he wants to vent his unusually uncomfortable feeling with a brutal dunk!
Liu Ren jumped high and made a trademark dunk move!
The shout of "Narens, Narens ......" suddenly rang out! Fans suddenly called Knoll's name!
Liu Ren didn't understand what was going on in the air, and Noel struck out in the air and pressed the ball that Liu Ren was about to dunk on the rebound, nailing the big hat!
……
……
Disgrace!
was beaten by 35 points in the half, and the last ball was counterattacked by the opponent's nail board hat, and the little assassin who defended himself scored 36 points in the half......
Liu Ren was nailed to the rack of shame in this half of the game!
He was very unhappy and unwilling, he didn't want to admit defeat like this! I just sat on the sidelines and watched the damn scoreboard at halftime.
Looking at the 35-point difference, Liu Ren roared angrily in his heart: Can this scare me? Damn it! Don't underestimate me! I'm Liu Ren!
D'Antoni came out of the locker room, Liu Ren didn't enter the locker room at halftime, he thought Liu Ren ran away in shame, but he didn't expect Liu Ren to stare at the scoreboard.
D'Antoni patted Liu Ren on the shoulder and said, "Boss, it's okay, accidents are common, it's just our bad luck today?" ”
Liu Ren shook his head: "Coach, don't replace me in the second half, I want to come by myself, is it okay?" ”
Not to mention, D'Antoni is still ready to give up this game, Americans are actually relatively superstitious, he feels that the 76ers team has a curse on the Lakers, which they dare to lose, just don't lose to the Lakers......
So in the second half, D'Antoni actually wanted to replace a couple of main players.
But seeing Liu Ren's determined eyes, D'Antoni hesitated for a moment and nodded......
……
The second half began, and thanks to the opening jump shot won by Noll, the Lakers took the lead in the third quarter.
Liu Ren was put in the position of playmaker by D'Antoni, because Liu Ren said that he wanted the ball in the second half, so he used Nick Young and Korver to open up space, although because the two of them combined for 2 of 11 shots in the first half, I don't know how much of a difference it can play.
After Liu Ren advanced to the frontcourt, he didn't look at his teammates' running, didn't care about the opponent's defense, and didn't organize the offense, and directly pulled out the jump shot outside the three-point line.
It's really hard to say how it feels, and now it's suddenly back! Three points directly into the basket.
Liu Ren hit a three-pointer at the beginning and shot a resolute shot.
With a big lead, the players of the 76ers began to slacken, and the passing was wrong, and it was Liu Ren again! He steals Russell!
Liu Ren is attacking! It was so fast, and in the blink of an eye, he dribbled to the frontcourt and completed a tomahawk dunk.
Liu Ren, who completed a wonderful dunk, did not have any expression and ran back to the half court to defend.
Russell was unhappy with his mistake and decided to come back.
Russell is a great two-way defender, with the height, the ability to dribble well, and a good sense of the big picture, but he's the kind of player who has to have the ball in his hands to play his best.
The 76ers already have Isaiah Thomas, and Russell doesn't have much chance to get this kind of free solo play, although he actually plays well without the ball, but he still wants to play point guard, after all, most teams now pay more attention to point guards, and the 76ers are the same.
This time the team led the opponent by more than 30 points, and it was finally time for him to perform.
Russell's scoring ability is quite outstanding, in the face of Liu Ren's defense, Russell dribbled in front of the cross, suddenly accelerated, Liu Ren hurriedly followed, revealing flaws! Russell starts and stops!
Liu Ren knew that he had been tricked, but his body had moved uncontrollably with inertia, and he could only watch the opponent's jump shot.
Russell was doing a two-handed slap ball celebration, and that smug expression stimulated Liu Ren, listening to the crazy cheers of the 76ers fans, as if he was laughing at himself.
They look at themselves as if they are saying: You were blown up when you played against our main team, and now you are not an opponent when you play against our substitutes!
A sneer appeared at the corner of Liu Ren's mouth, okay! Let me, a guy who can't even beat your replacement, destroy you!
Liu Ren dribbled forward, reached the three-point line, pulled it up directly, ignored Russell in front of him, aimed at the basket, and hit! There are 29 points left!
None of the 76ers care about this, and they still have to struggle? You just struggle slowly!
76ers bench small forward Bamot missed a high jumper, Liu Ren jumped high, pressed Landry to grab the rebound, quickly counterattacked, and hit another pull-up jump shot.
The 76ers attacked, Isaiah Conan almost made a mistake when he held the ball, and was shot out of the bottom line by Liu Ren, and Liu Ren, who did not succeed in the steal, slapped his hand hard.
However, this steal failure is not meaningless, Isaiah Conan was afraid of being stealed, and when he saw Liu Ren pounce, he hurriedly shot and was decisively iron.
But! Noll took off and dunked the ball over the head of Lakers backup center Biyombo.
Liu Ren shook his head, this Bi Yongbo is good at everything, but he is too short! Shorter than Noll, it doesn't make much use when facing an opponent who is taller than him and has a bouncing arm span that is not inferior to him.
Liu Ren broke through the inside line, Bamot and Noel immediately wrapped up, no one wanted to be humiliated, and even Russell let Korver come in and wanted to steal.
Nima! It's really my old Liu who can't pass the ball, right? According to Lao Liu, it is also an average per game...... There are also a little assists for small forwards! Liu Ren glanced at his eyes and threw the ball to Korver in the bottom corner, feeling that this thing is contagious, Korver's hand seems to be burning, and he hit a three-point shot, with 28 points left!
The two sides played very fast, and completed an attack in less than 7 seconds.
The Lakers have worked hard to accumulate several outside bench shooters in the past two years played a role today, Nick Young, Korver, and Nance Jr. three-point pass when there is an open position under the organization of Liu Ren, and shoot three-point firepower when there is a chance, narrowing the difference little by little.
On the other hand, the 76ers, Russell, Isaiah Conan, Covington, Chris Johnson, these players with outside shots, everyone wants to brush up their own data, in fact, this is understandable, with so many leads, is it still slowly organizing to play?
The Lakers' benches became more and more confident and active under Liu Ren's organization, and began to defend fiercely and steadily offensively, in stark contrast to the 76ers' casual offense and loose defense.
With less than a minute left in the third quarter, the difference has been chased to within 20 points, and D'Antoni finally has some nervousness and hopes of turning the tables! He wants to replace a few who can grab rebounds, the Lakers' lineup rebounding is indeed a bit poor, and it doesn't have much advantage over the 76ers, the other side Noll has almost no opponents in grabbing rebounds on the inside, and he made up for several, otherwise the Lakers would have narrowed the difference to a smaller one, but D'Antoni is still ready to wait, and now the Lakers can narrow the score not by rebounding, but by the feeling that Liu Ren began to recover under the organization, and this quarter will end soon, D'Antoni decided to wait and see.
The score difference has been narrowed to 18 points, and the flame in Liu Ren's heart has no signs of weakening, but is even more vigorous!
One last offense! 76ers head coach Brown yelled from the sidelines: Defense! Defend!
To tell the truth, the 76ers Coach Brown is really lucky, his coaching ability is average, but he can't stand the players! Last year, he found that it seemed that the team had a head, so he made up for it in the summer, and really gave him a little coaching strategy, which is the legendary inaction, and formulated what he thinks is the most ideal playing system for this lineup, in fact, as long as the head coach has his own ideal system, but whether the player can play this system is the coach's ability, for example, Mike Brown has hundreds of sets of offensive tactics, but only James can make his tactics out, Because James learned his system and James coached himself......
Coach Brown's luck is that the group of players in the 76 team is really suitable for the system he came up with, and they play really well, and if something goes wrong, Isaiah Thomas and Russell, who have a high ball quotient, can think of solutions on their own, and there is a feeling of doing nothing.
The 76ers were stunned at halftime in this game, they abused the Lakers so badly, and then began to swell, although Coach Brown roared on the sidelines, but the 76ers had slackened for a whole quarter How could the players have that mind, Liu Ren easily broke inside. Facing Chris Johnson is going to dunk!
Jump!
"Ciatt, even if you're the MVP, I won't let you dunk on our heads like this!" Chris Johnson roared loudly and asked for a hat!
Looking at the big man who was ready to use his mantis arm as a car with disdain, Liu Ren and Chris Johnson collided together!
Chris Johnson felt like he had been hit by a car and couldn't stop it!
Chris Johnson was directly knocked out of the bottom line by Liu Ren! Liu Ren roared and dunked the ball into the basket! The referee's whistle blows! Block fouls! 2+1!
looked at Liu Ren with a frightened face, is this still human?
Liu Ren hit a free throw, 70-85, with 15 points left! The Lakers' scoring in this quarter tied the entire first half! Among them, Liu Ren made 7 of 8 shots, 5 of 6 free throws, and 4 of 4 three-point shots. scored 23 points in a single quarter, more than the 76ers scored in this quarter!
