Bryant took advantage of Gasol's block and Jeremy Lin's pass to cut to the basket and missed, but Bryant didn't look a little frustrated, because he saw No. 1 wearing the same jersey as him following him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

If Gasol is the defensive pillar behind Liu Ren, then Liu Ren is the most trusted person on the offensive end of Kobe.

Just as Kobe Bryant expected, Liu Ren grabbed the offensive rebound and directly made up for the dunk.

This kind of follow-up play Kobe Bryant is very familiar with and misses, and this kind of ball is simply commonplace when he was paired with O'Neal, Odom, and Gasol in the past.

It's just that the hottest player who was grumpy and messed around at that time was Kobe, and now it's someone else.

Kobe Bryant played more than half a quarter, his physical strength began to decline, and he began to hit iron continuously, and was replaced with Nick Young with 2 minutes left in the first quarter, followed by Jeremy Lin and McCollum. Nick Young took Bryant's place and continued to play iron, at this time Liu Ren began to exert his power, with Gasol and Green, two blue-collar players willing to help him, Liu Ren was like flying in the air to play.

With 14 points and seven rebounds on 6-of-9 shooting from the free-throw line in the first quarter, Liu Ren dominated the offensive end.

Bryant scored 11 points on 4-of-7 shooting, and Duncan played the full quarter with 18 points on 7-of-9 shooting and 4-of-6 from the free-throw line, both of whom performed very well.

Parker and Ginobili, who came off the bench, also performed very well in the other two of the troika, Parker let Duncan receive the ball in the most comfortable position, Ginobili helped open up the space, and hit a three-pointer when the opportunity arose.

The score of the two sides was tight, 33-32, and the Lakers led the Spurs by one point.

Tim Duncan deserves to be Tim Duncan, and Liu Ren looked at the statistics on the big screen during the interval, thinking that this is really an old monster.

But Liu Ren smiled all of a sudden, isn't there an old monster in his team, Liu Ren looked at the guy in his team who is already in the nineteenth year of his career, and has also experienced injuries that are enough to retire other players, but now his average points per game are still in the top ten in the league, with an average of 24.1 points per game.

Since Liu Ren was pitted by the Suns twice, Kobe Bryant continued to take on the scoring responsibility of those two games, and now he is still the second on the team in points per game, second only to Liu Ren.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Kobe Bryant continued to start, and Nick Young was put on the bench again with a depressed face, and he wanted to show his face more on the national live broadcast, but he could only watch McCollum partner Kobe Bryant on the court.

The game continued, and Liu Ren had already been stimulated to have a strong desire to score, and he didn't want Kobe Bryant and Duncan to take the limelight.

But Liu Ren felt a punch on the cotton, and the players on the Spurs court were Patty Mills, Danny Green, Leonard, Boris Dior, and Split.

The Spurs' troika was all sitting on the bench and never played!

Leonard's defense looked so pale in front of Liu Ren, Kobe Bryant also began to be willful, he was ready to fight with Duncan with full firepower, but Duncan couldn't get up on the bench!

Not only that, but even Ginobili, the scoring guard who had caused him the most trouble for years, only played less than 4 minutes before he was gone.

Halfway through the second quarter, Duncan never played, Kobe Bryant was angry, and no one could stop him from throwing him. Even Leonard can't play much of a role, let alone Danny Green, who was beaten into a sieve by Kobe.

Kobe Bryant and Liu Ren are inside and outside, as if they are in a no-man's land.

Leonard has indeed improved a lot this year, shooting, breaking, and passing have improved significantly, Leonard's offensive ability is close to first-class, although he can't prevent Liu Ren, but he plays well on the offensive end under the Spurs system.

Popovich's direction for Leonard was not as a core from the start, but as a functional player, and Popovich expected Leonard to become a defense-hardened version of Ginobili.

Popovich didn't expect Leonard to improve so quickly at first, he has always built the team with Duncan as the core, and his plan for the future is to find a way to get one of Gasol, Aldridge, Bosh and others, and then use the obtained big man, Leonard, and Parker as the core lineup to form a new troika.

Looking at Leonard, who has gradually been able to lead the team on the offensive end like Ginobili, Popovich feels very relieved that a championship team can still produce a top player, and now among these coaches, Popovich and D'Antoni can do it.

In addition to doing everything possible to help Duncan win another championship in recent years, Popovich is planning for the future of the team, and Gasol is a member of his plan, but Gasol unexpectedly renewed his contract for 5 years ahead of schedule! Then Bosh didn't even look at them, and Aldridge is said to have had some scandals with the Lakers.

Popovich's plan collapsed all at once.

Especially the Lakers also signed an excellent big man like Whiteside with a base salary, seeing Whiteside wantonly bullying his own interior line with a playful expression, Popovich can only sigh that people are more popular than people!

Leonard played well, leading his teammates to resist the onslaught of the Lakers as much as possible, but the gap in overall strength cannot be bridged by hard work, and the Spurs are no longer the Spurs of last season.

Kobe Bryant, as the Spurs' bitter master, may know more about the Spurs' defense than the Spurs' defensive system on the court, unlike Paul and James who are a little hesitant on the outside, Kobe Bryant shot decisively, steadily and ruthlessly, and did not rest in the second quarter, shooting frantically, wanting to provoke Duncan to play.

Unfortunately, by halftime, Duncan did not play again.

After making 23 shots in the half, hitting 12 of them and 7 of 12 free throws, after being raced by Duncan and himself for a quarter and then sitting on the bench and not playing angrily, Kobe Bryant simply went crazy, and made 16 crazy shots in the second quarter.

With 35 points in the half, Bryant didn't play in the second half.

Without a troika, the Spurs can barely hold up on the offensive end, but the defense has dropped more than a notch, and Duncan's role is not something that anyone else can fill.

At halftime, the Lakers had a 71-55 lead.

Kobe and Liu Ren are very depressed, no matter how Kobe shoots on the outside, how Liu Ren bullies the Spurs on the inside to grab rebounds and wreak havoc on the basket, the Spurs have no intention of changing to the troika.

In the second half, the Spurs still used the second lineup to deal with the Lakers, and Liu Ren played with that lineup without any pressure at all.

In the second half, it broke out into Liu Ren, scoring 18 points in the third quarter, stretching the difference to 25 points in one fell swoop, and turning the fourth quarter into garbage time.

When Kobe Bryant went crazy, Liu Ren's right to shoot naturally decreased.

However, Liu Ren is already very powerful on the offensive end, and can complete 2 offenses by grabbing offensive rebounds, scoring 9 points in the second quarter.

Liu Ren scored 41 points and 13 rebounds in the game, and the Lakers beat the Spurs 120-105, winning nine in a row!

Liu Ren feels that Kobe Bryant's average of 24.1 points per game ranks in the top ten this season, which is simply the performance of an old monster. In fact, he didn't notice that Kobe Bryant's average shots per game this season are more like an old monster, averaging 22 shots per game.

This is also the reason why the Lakers are becoming more and more favored by the outside world, with Kobe Bryant, the king of shots, Liu Ren can still become the Lakers' scoring champion, with an average score of 27.2 per game, and it does not affect the team's offensive operation at all, Liu Ren occupies only 14 or 15 regular offensive opportunities per game, a reasonable second-in-command offensive opportunity, and the rest are the second offensive opportunities that he grabbed! Some of them directly grab offensive rebounds, some of them pull the ball out to their teammates and pass it back, and sometimes they help their teammates grab offensive rebounds from the inside position.

The team won, everyone was happy, even Kobe Bryant and Liu Ren were not depressed anymore, no matter what the process was, people would only remember the winner.

Three consecutive games of 40+, Liu Ren hasn't reacted much, but basketball fans have gone crazy!
