521. Hypocrisy

Jump Ball!

Lopets and Gasol jumped in the middle circle, and in the end Gasol jumped a little shorter, and Lopets Jr. pointed the ball into Lillard's hands. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Lillard advances to the frontcourt.

For Lillard, Liu Ren attaches great importance to it, and Lillard, who is only in the third year, has gone one step further this year, although there are not many assists, but from the current new point guard, Lillard is second only to Curry in the point guard position.

Although this era is an era of point guard blowouts, compared to Lillard, Wall can't shoot, Irving only knows crossover, Rondo can't change the opponent's defense alone, Lowry likes long-range shots too much rather than passing, Westbrook has begun to move towards an epic player that cannot be defined by a point guard, Paul ...... I can't touch the floor of the West Decision.

The best point guard today is undoubtedly Curry, shooting, passing, Curry combines the two things to a very perfect degree, averaging 23 points per game and 8 assists, not much, but not a lot.

And whether it is statistics or playing style, the one who is most similar to Curry is Lillard.

Liu Ren's most regrettable thing is that Lillard is in the Trail Blazers, and if the Trail Blazers lineup is the same as the Warriors, there will definitely be something very interesting.

Liu Ren once wanted to suggest that the team should use Lillard as a reinforcement, but since Lillard took the initiative to provoke him last season, he dispelled this idea.

This is just a point, of course, if you can get Lillard, Liu Ren will definitely not refuse, but the price to get Lillard's comeback will definitely not be small, and those young players who work happily together will have to go two or three.

Overall, although Lillard can reach his peak as soon as possible, he is older, and he will be 25 years old soon, and Lakers management will definitely be reluctant to replace those young players.

Lillard came over with the ball, and there was no pyrotechnics. took advantage of the cover very calmly, and then the horizontal line moved to suppress the Lakers' free throw line to control the ball.

Lillard attacks with the ball, and it is of course Liu Ren who defends him.

Speaking of which, Liu Ren likes to defend opponents like Westbrook and Wade who play by speed, and he trusts Niny Allen the same, because the kind of straight attacker can defend well as long as you are faster and stronger than him, and he will meet James with Rose.

And this kind of technical flow and super projection ability of offensive players are the most difficult to defend.

This kind of player can only be limited, for example, Liu Ren can only suppress Lillard in one direction, and if you want to block Lillard on the outside, you must retreat and defend, which will leave enough room for Lillard to shoot, and Lillard is no worse than Curry in terms of three-point threat.

Liu Ren could only expose the gap of the downline, guiding Lillard to break through from the right side, Lillard really followed Liu Ren's gap to break through, and Whiteside was also ready to help defend, just when Liu Ren was about to stick to it and suppress Lillard and could only break through from the bottom line, Lillard suddenly changed direction to move in the direction of the top arc, Liu Ren hurriedly blocked it, but crashed into a person!

Aldridge!

Liu Ren was blocked by Aldridge!

On the other side, Green rushed to defend Lillard, and Lillard quickly passed the ball to Aldridge.

With an easy and simple misalignment, Liu Ren had to face the task of defending a big forward who was so much taller than himself.

After Aldridge got the ball, he jumped directly and threw a jumper, Liu Ren tried his best to interfere, but the ball still fell into the basket accurately and hit it hollow.

Aldridge's height is still leaning back, except for the feeling of not being able to shoot, there is really no other way.

Aldridge's personal ability is really too strong and excellent, and Liu Ren also admires it, but he somehow feels that Aldridge seems to be a little unsuitable as a championship player, this guy is too casual! Just now, there was obviously a more secure way of playing to cut into the inside after blocking and dismantling, but in order to show off the shot, he stopped directly in the middle distance and waited to receive the ball.

The Lakers attacked, Liu Ren tried his hand first, and hit Batum's defense directly outside the three-point line.

It felt good and went straight in!

D'Antoni on the sidelines was very sure that Liu Ren hit a strong shot at the beginning of the game today, proving that Liu Ren felt very good today, Liu Ren felt good, and the opponent's defense was bound to be affected, and the Lakers' team offense would go smoothly.

"Coach Zhang, both teams seem to be in good shape at the beginning of today. You see how the two teams won! What do the two teams need to look out for? "Sun Zhengping will always be so dogleggy, although he regrets that Mr. Zhang Li snatched the commentary back just now.

"Judging from past experience, the Lakers must pay first attention to the bench lineup if they want to win, everyone knows that the Lakers' bench lineup is often their key to victory, the second wing can play well, Liu Ren's play is very important, the Lakers have played a few games this year are Liu Ren's play has been affected, the third control Aldridge, Aldridge shoots like this throughout the game, then there is no way, everyone also saw it in the playoffs last year, the Rockets were shot to death by Aldridge."

"Director Zhang is right!" Sun Zhengping continued to dogleg.

The easiest way for the Lakers to win is to bite the score and beat each other with a strong bench lineup while the rotation lineup is playing, which is the Lakers' style of play in the first three defeats of the Trail Blazers this year. What the Lakers should be afraid of is the front combination of the Trail Blazers, Matthews, Batum, and Aldridge, which is composed of a balanced offensive and defensive line, which is quite difficult to deal with, if Liu Ren can break through Batum's defense, the Lakers' main lineup may be able to gain a little advantage, but the focus is still on Aldridge, if Aldridge enters the playoffs now, the Lakers must also play a good offense. ā€

Coach Zhang analyzed several factors that the Lakers need to pay attention to if they want to win.

"After Director Zhang finished speaking, the Lakers will also talk about the Trail Blazers, I can't bear that someone is going to attack you again." Sun Zhengping kindly took the microphone away and reminded in a whisper that not long ago, a commentator surnamed Ke was fired by a domestic live broadcast platform because of partiality, and now there is a rumor in the domestic commentary industry, and they are afraid of being attacked by fans.

Sometimes the fans' attacks are very nonsensical, for example, the Cavaliers play a team that is still a strong team but not very popular, and the commentary must be biased in favor of the Cavaliers, after all, most of the fans who watch the game are Cavaliers fans, but there is no shortage of black fans who deliberately come to pick thorns.

At this time, the anchor was biased towards the Cavaliers, and then those fans attacked the commentary, of course, the Cavaliers, Lakers, and Rockets are very popular, and they are also very popular, so the commentary is about to be attacked by black fans to the point that they can't take care of themselves, and the live broadcast platform can't see it, so they use the commentator as a scapegoat.

Only then did Coach Zhang react, as a lake honey, it seems that he has performed a little too much, and he is completely analyzing it from the perspective of the Lakers coach.

"Ahem, after talking about the Lakers, let's also talk about the factors that the Trail Blazers need to pay attention to if they want to win this game, the first point is not to follow the rhythm of the Lakers, the second point is to fully open the offense, and the third point is not to let the Lakers connect inside and outside."

"......" Sun Zhengping, who doesn't understand basketball, can see the perfunctory teacher Zhang Lili, the treatment of the two teams is too different!

At this time, Aldridge hit a single hit again, this time it was Lillard and Aldridge who blocked and dismantled, but Liu Ren was prepared and bypassed Aldridge for the first time, and Green defended Aldridge directly from behind.

But it turns out that Aldridge really wants to shoot, and then you can only see if he feels good, but when he reaches the playoffs, his hand feels hot and explosive, and he likes the kind of game that people pay attention to the most......

Such a power forward should be considered unique in this league, and it stands to reason that Aldridge should be at least as popular as Odom, but in fact, people habitually ignore him, and then when it comes to the playoffs, they find out that this guy is so stubborn.

That's why Aldridge wants to go to Big Ball City.

The Trail Blazers have no sense of existence, even if they are third in the West this year, but they still have no sense of existence, and Aldridge is too envious of the Lakers, Rockets, and Spurs, the three teams in the West.

Aldridge, who got serious, was not only powerful on the offensive end, but also quite powerful on the defensive end, taking advantage of Green's carelessness to cut off the ball, and his hand speed was as fast as if he had been single for 29 years.

The Trail Blazers did not play a counterattack, but chose to play steadily, because the Lakers checked out very quickly, and when Gasol did not have a slow pace but was started by Whiteside, the Lakers could improve their offensive and defensive speed to a very fast speed, and it was unwise to play a fast pace with the Lakers.

It is the safest to fall into positional warfare and fight around Aldridge.

fell into the position again, and Liu Ren was a little big-headed.

On the Trail Blazers' side, as long as Aldridge plays well, the defensive end is no worse than their Lakers, and the other four people except Lillard have good defense and team defense is also very good.

Picking up the pace is something the Lakers take very seriously.

Lillard advanced with the ball, and Liu Ren pounced directly on Lillard when he was just over the free throw line.

Liu Ren is not afraid of Lillard breaking into the inside, there is Whiteside guarding the inside, and he is not afraid of Lillard's stop-and-go jump shot, if no one blocks him, he is enough to catch up and interfere with Lillard, what he is most afraid of is the blocking of Lillard and Aldridge, the blocking of the two is too powerful.

repeatedly can't stop the cooperation of Lillard and Aldridge, and every time he uses the depth of the team's lineup to defeat the Trail Blazers, this is the thing that Liu Ren is most worried about, and he wants to rely on his own strength to crush Lillard's face that others owe him millions.

Liu Ren left a bigger gap this time, just to let Lillard rush directly into the interior, and then Green blocked the passing route between him and Aldridge, and Liu Ren and Whiteside Bao Lillard's dumplings.

But Lillard was not fooled, he was blocked by Liu Ren, he advanced slowly, and he didn't worry about time being consumed, anyway, his purpose was to play a slow-paced positional battle.

D'Antoni and Bickerstaff looked at each other on the sidelines and shrugged, saying that there was no choice but to rely on the main force to attack and then use the second team to win.

Sure enough, after the slow pace fell into the position, it was difficult for the Lakers to form too many obstacles to the cooperation between Lillard and Aldridge, Kobe and Clarkson did not dare to wrap it up, Batum and Matthews may not be very good on their personal offense, but they are accurate in catching and shooting three-pointers, and the two are the focus of the Trail Blazers' almost invincible starting combination.

It was Lillard who scored the goal this time, and when Liu Ren and Green both went to defend Aldridge, Lillard stepped back and hit a two-point shot from long range.

The Lakers were beaten 6-2.

Want to be pulled away by the Trail Blazers? Clarkson said no...... Although the bench lineup is on, even if the starters are more than ten points behind the Trail Blazers, but on the bench of the Trail Blazers, they will be chased back in two or three clicks, and several benches of the Trail Blazers are not bad, they don't look like NBA players, but like the Development League.

After the 76ers defeated the Lakers last time, some fans joked that if the 76ers' role players played together with the five starters of the Trail Blazers, they would definitely dominate the league.

…… That's not the point, the point is that Clarkson is a little confused: why does the boss want to be hard with the Trailblazers?

It is true that Clarkson feels that whether it is Aldridge or Lillard, they are definitely not Liu Ren's opponents alone, but the power of the combination is very powerful, and they didn't see them rely on this starting lineup to get the third place in the West?

But what can it be? Even Clarkson didn't see the Trail Blazers as real opponents, believing they would only face the Spurs and Warriors in the West.

Clarkson thinks it's better not to add pressure to the second lineup, if you follow the rhythm of the Trail Blazers like this, the starting lineup will suffer!

It's hard to speed up when you're working the defensive end, and when the pressing defense doesn't get the opponent to pick up the speed, it proves that the defense is basically useless for the Trail Blazers as a starter.

So as a point guard on the court, Clarkson gestured to announce that he would give up defense and play run-and-run!

This is what D'Antoni planned from the beginning, if you can't prevent it, you just don't prevent it, you can't prevent it anyway, it's better to fight Biao.

That's what sets D'Antoni apart from the average manager, and it also makes it easier for him to lead teams.

As for why do you want to make more of a move at the beginning of the game when you know you can't prevent it? This is completely because D'Antoni wants to take care of Liu Ren's emotions, because Liu Ren was very excited before the game against the Trail Blazers and wanted to fight Lillard and Aldridge.

Liu Ren saw Clarkson's gesture and knew that he was going to run and hit, so he could only follow the tactics.

The defensive pressure on the Lakers' side suddenly relaxed, in addition to the dunk and three-point under the basket, the Lakers showed a big gap in the mid-range, the worst position of NBA players, that is: If you want to shoot three points and dunk, just rest, okay with the mid-range shot?

Then regardless of whether the Trail Blazers go in or not, the Lakers will fight back.

All of a sudden, the game went from a solo show to a two-sided show.

I have to say that as the best physical player on the Lakers team, Liu Ren plays very comfortably in the running and bombing, counterattacking and dunking and chasing three-point shots very coolly, but judging from his expression, those who are familiar with him know that he still wants to fight Lillard and Aldridge.

D'Antoni was also helpless on the sidelines: "I said Bernie, why does Liu love to fight hard with his opponent so much? Okay, I'm not saying that he has a problem trying to break down the opponent on both ends of the pitch, but we can easily defeat the opponent's strategy, but he always likes to come on his own, and having strong teammates to help is part of the strength! ā€

"Have you forgotten that the boss is only in his early 20s? Isn't it all like that for young people, if he had a little better luck in the draft and went to the lotto team, shouldn't he be a young man who wants to challenge all the strong opponents? ā€

"Haha, then he will have to be depressed again, because we need a mature him, and we can only let him slowly get used to the easiest way to win."

In D'Antoni's view, although young people like Liu Ren and Kobe Bryant who enter the NBA and stay in a strong team are said to be under great pressure to rise, they can also be described as being born in happiness and not knowing happiness, Kobe Bryant envied Iverson when he was young and could lead the team to challenge the world alone, and Liu Ren envied James, Lillard, and Aldridge who could fight against the entire league by themselves.

To put it bluntly, it's hypocrisy.

Yes, Liu Ren began to be hypocritical again.

After the run-and-run, the Trail Blazers' offensive end deliberately pressed the rhythm, and the mid-range efficiency was very good, and the Lakers didn't care whether the Trail Blazers scored goals or not, it was a fast attack.

Then the Lakers and Trail Blazers started their fourth match of the season, with the margin fluctuating back and forth within four points, and the starting lineups of the two teams were evenly matched.

After the rotation lineup came on, the Trail Blazers couldn't hold it all of a sudden, and the score was pulled away by three or two, forcing the Trail Blazers to start, and then when the Trail Blazers started to chase the score back, the Lakers also changed to the starters and then played against Biao, which almost exhausted the physical strength of the Trail Blazers' main force, and when the Trail Blazers replaced the main force, the Lakers also changed to the second lineup, until the Trail Blazers' main force was overturned, and the Lakers' second team easily won the game.

97-108, the Trail Blazers lost to the Lakers by 11 points, and Lillard and Aldridge combined for 68 points in the game, with their entire starting lineup scoring 86 points and the bench scoring only 11 points.

On the Lakers' side, the second lineup, with Korver and Nick Young as the main scoring points, scored 44 points, and the gap was not a little bigger.

Then Liu Ren was hypocritical, and he had the same idea in his heart as the previous three times.

Liu Ren's data today is also okay, with 27 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, which is not particularly good but certainly not bad.

Seeing that Liu Ren has become a stuffy gourd again, the rest of the Lakers are also helpless, they know Liu Ren's thoughts too well, but the game is like this, and winning is the truth.
