Liu Ren was so ferocious that not only did he scare the Nuggets, but even D'Antoni was terrified. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Seeing the increasingly big defensive moves of the Diggers, D'Antoni replaced Liu Ren early, and the Nuggets were about to collapse anyway.

In this game, Liu Ren played 27 minutes, made 13 of 17 shots, 14 of 25 free throws, and scored 40 points plus 7 rebounds and 5 blocks!

He thinks that if it weren't for the shameless three-man trap of the next four or five attacks on the excavation team, he wouldn't have missed a ball today!

Because all the balls he scored were dunks!

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Nuggets 109-95, and their record became 25-9, successfully overtaking the Thunder and Rockets, two teams with 24 wins and 10 losses, ranking second in the West!

On the way back to the hotel~

"Liu, has anyone in the excavation team offended you?" Whiteside asked with a depressed expression.

Why was the Nuggets' interior line blown up by Liu Ren, and Whiteside was depressed?

Because Liu Ren is no longer on the outside, he has been attacking the inside, he is such a big man, squatting there to occupy a position, D'Antoni didn't let him play for too long.

Even if D'Antoni put him on the court for a few minutes, in order to make room for Liu Ren, he had to pull it out, plus Liu Ren's offense has been strong on the inside today, with an extremely high shooting rate, and there are no rebounds for him to grab......

Today, Whiteside played only 7 minutes in the first three quarters, scoring 2 points, 4 rebounds and 1 block.

In the second half of the third quarter, after Liu Ren was replaced, the score was already 91-65, and the Lakers were far ahead.

Whiteside can only continue to sit on the cold bench, which is simply terrible for this data freak! His rebounds per game have dropped to fifth place, and Drummond, Love, Howard, and Jordan Jr. are all averaging more than 12 rebounds per game, while his playing time on Whiteside's recent winning streak has decreased, dropping to 11.8 rebounds per game.

Hearing Whiteside's question, Liu Ren replied casually: "No, I don't know them well." ”

Whiteside continued to ask: "Could it be that he lost to Gordon and was in a bad mood and asked the Nuggets to vent inside?" ”

Liu Ren glanced at Whiteside: "Why are you so dirty?" Am I that stingy? That's not the point, the point is to vent how good it is for me to go to the girl to vent, a group of big gangsters opposite, my taste is not so heavy. ”

"......" Whiteside was speechless for a moment, he was even more puzzled, he still couldn't figure out why Liu Ren broke out today.

If he can't figure it out, he can't figure it out, the Lakers' road trip has just begun!

After playing the Nuggets, the Lakers flew to Dallas the next morning to prepare for the evening game against the Mavericks.

The Mavericks have been on a rampage lately, winning all six games since Christmas and winning six in two years for the first time in two years, the last time being in the playoffs the year they won the championship.

I have to say that Carlisle is a very good coach, and with this bad card in his hand, he is stunned to let the Mavericks be in the playoffs!

Who is the best player for the Mavericks? It's not the newcomer Ellis, who is in his prime, but the veteran Nowitzki, who averages 21 points per game to lead the team.

Although many fans criticized Carlisle's desperate attempt to enter the playoffs as an obstacle to the Mavericks' rebuild, after all, Nowitzki is so old, and the Mavericks are not a team that can attract young stars, and the only way to rebuild is to rely on the draft.

Some Mavericks fans want to put it on for two years first, so that Nowitzki can still bring the rookie.

But Carlisle doesn't think so, he thinks that the team is playing with strength and attracting stars is the right way, and playing like the Cavaliers will not succeed.

Although Liu Ren knew that the Mavericks still failed to attract stars in the end, and the only one who attracted them was Parsons, who was known as a high-salary and low-performance representative, he still had great respect for Carlisle's spirit.

Respect to respect, this game is not easy!

Because it was back-to-back, the coaching staff did not arrange training for the players, but Liu Ren did not wander the streets of Dallas, but found the assistant coach and took the hard drive containing the Mavericks' game clips back to the room to observe the Mavericks' defensive strategy.

……

At 7:10 p.m., 20 minutes before the start of the game between the Lakers and the Mavericks, the players began to enter the court, Liu Ren was the last to leave the locker room, everyone else had already entered, no, there was another person, he met a skinny guy in the players' tunnel.

"Hey, Liu, do you know me? I'm Monta. Monta-Ellis took the initiative to greet Liu Ren.

"Haha, of course, I still remember you when you were the Black Eight Calves! I didn't expect you to come to play on this team, it's incredible. Liu Ren said with a smile.

"I also think it's incredible, to be honest, there's no way to come and play here." Ellis looked helpless.

Liu Ren asked curiously, "Why?" Isn't the Kuban a good boss? ”

Ellis sighed and said: "Mark is indeed a good owner for the players, but only for Dirk, my agent has talked to him about renewing the contract, but he doesn't seem to have any intention of renewing the contract with me, it is estimated that I will move again after this season." ”

If the players don't have any big problems, they are actually reluctant to change teams, even if the team strength is average, after all, changing teams is equivalent to moving, young players are okay, and veterans are all dragged one by one.

Liu Ren thought it was incredible for Ellis's words, Ellis averaged 20 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists per game this year, and such a scoring guard league can't make up one hand, right? Is Kuban a brain show?

Not to mention, Cuban is really funny, he is actually hoping to bring in James or Anthony in the summer......

"So what are you going to do next season? Continue negotiations with the Mavericks? Liu Ren feels that Ellis seems to be playing quite happily in the Mavericks, after all, the data is good, and he may enter the playoffs, which is much better than when he was in the Warriors and Bucks.

"I don't know, but I envy you very much, being able to play with the Lakers, seeing that you are all a group of young people, and the record is so good, except for the shooting guard position, which is almost manpowered, everything else is perfect." Ellis meant something.

Every time Liu Ren encounters a special situation, he will raise his eyebrows, this time he raised his eyebrows, and thought to himself: "It turns out that this guy is staring at Kobe's position after retirement!" ”

Recently, Liu Ren has received hints from many people, and many people are staring at the position of the Lakers scoring guard, after all, Kobe Bryant has a two-year or three-year contract, and as soon as he retires, the position of the Lakers' scoring guard has become a sought-after commodity in the league.

Hayward actively got together with a group of core members of the Lakers, isn't it just to have a good relationship with the Lakers? Hayward is still young, and he can wait until Kobe Bryant retires before coming to the Lakers.

Who doesn't want to partner with Liu Ren, Whiteside, and Gasol?

At the same time, the point guard position is also targeted, and the Lakers' perfect configuration of the frontcourt makes the two positions in the backcourt become a sweet spot in the eyes of the league's powerful backcourt players.

Among them, Ellis is the most eye-catching, after all, there are many similarities between D'Antoni and Nelson Sr.'s playing style, Ellis's most dazzling years of his career were played under Nelson Sr.'s run, and he believes that D'Antoni can also play the glory of the year, maybe he can also taste the championship in Los Angeles.

Although Liu Ren admires Ellis's momentum on the court, he is too thin, his playing style is more unique than Kobe, and it is better to play a sixth man, but it is a little less interesting to play as a starter.

Liu Ren could only say: "It's a pity that we can't afford to give you a contract, otherwise it must be a very interesting thing to partner with you." ”

"The salary can be discussed, and if I can't stay in the Mavericks at that time, I think the Lakers are my first target!" Ellis is looking forward to the future.

"I'm looking forward to it." Liu Ren could only answer like this.
