43. Rising Eagle

"OK, I'm going to practice shooting, Paul? What about you? Liu Ren regretted this sentence when he asked it, it was a "nickname" blurted out!

"Scum?" Kobe Bryant repeated the spelling a few times, as if calling him, but he didn't remember that he had this nickname!

"Well, this is the nickname given to you by our Chinese fans, the next time you go to our country to do propaganda, introduce yourself as a scumbag, they will go crazy. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Liu Ren thought sideways and said nonsense.

"Really?" Bryant asked.

"Really, follow me, scum......"

"Slag ......"

"good, it's the ...... of the scumbag"

"To be honest, I don't know why there are so many Chinese fans, every time I go to your country, it feels amazing, there seems to be no discrimination of skin color there, it's a great place, and I appreciate it every time."

Discrimination based on skin color? Liu Ren thought about it carefully, it seems that there is really no such thing as racial discrimination in China!

Except that people have not seen foreigners for a long time, and a foreigner is like seeing rare animals onlookers, there seems to be no such thing as skin color discrimination.

After the economy developed, the Chinese people became rich, and after seeing more foreigners, they didn't even have the idea of looking strange.

Liu Ren has to say that I sigh at the inclusiveness of our great China! 56 nationalities!

Liu Ren felt that if the territory of the motherland was as big as Russia, and many places were undeveloped, according to the urine nature of the Chinese people, it is estimated that people would be accepted from those places in Africa and South America where there are many people and no livelihood, and all refugees will be brought to develop barren areas, and then use the strong ethnic integration ability of the Han people to swallow those people to the scum, and all become Chinese.

This has not been done once or twice in Chinese history.

I felt a sense of pride inexplicably.

"Of course, our country is the most inclusive country." Liu Ren said proudly.

"Indeed, we are not as good as you." Bryant shrugged, his tone a little helpless.

This topic is a bit heavy for black people in the United States, Liu Ren saw that this did not continue the topic, after chatting a few words, Kobe Bryant went home to recuperate, accompanied his wife, the first two years of the hundred mistress incident his wife was angry for a long time, and he had to coax well.

Liu Ren and Gasol continued to train.

The next day, the Lakers and Hawks game kicked off at Staples Center.

Hawks head coach Budenholzer praised Liu Ren before the game and said that it was a great pity that Liu Ren did not go to Atlanta.

Liu Ren thanked him for this, and then said that he had no plans to leave Los Angeles.

There are no changes to the Lakers' starters, Bazemore, Wesley Johnson, Liu Ren, Gasol, Green.

In fact, there is no way to change anything, to ensure that there is enough firepower on the bench, it is impossible to add an outside shooter to the starter.

The Hawks start, almost everyone is an All-Star fringe level, Teague, Korver, Carroll, Millsap, Horford.

This starting strength is really average! Liu Ren remembers that the Hawks have four All-Star players next season, and Carroll, the only one who did not make the All-Star, also got a contract close to the maximum salary in the summer of '15, a proper super starter.

The Eastern Spurs are not just talking, the strength is really strong.

Today's opposite Liu Ren is Carroll, a small forward who is very similar in height and weight to him.

However, the current Carroll does not have the strength in Liu Ren's memory, Carroll only began to break out after coming to the Hawks, before he was still a wandering player, until the second year of coming to the Hawks, he began to fully break out, and now he is just a qualified starter who has been in the league for many years.

Liu Ren observed the opponent's lineup, unlike the Lakers who have Gasol, a high school forward, the Hawks lineup is short, the tallest Horford is only 2.08 meters, the three from the scoring guard to the small forward are all as tall as him, 2.03 meters, and the shortest point guard is 1.88 meters.

The Lakers have a big advantage in terms of height, and the Lakers also grasped this, and Gasol won the jump ball in the opening game, and then went down to catch the ball, and put the ball in the basket with a high shot.

Gasol's opening style of play this time was very different from the Lakers' opening style in the first few games of the year, and he caught the Hawks off guard.

To say that the Eagles are strong, but they are not considered a championship level, the reason is simple, Budenholzer's ability is not enough.

Budenholzer is the kind of academy coach who pays attention to everything and plays according to the established tactics, and to put it bluntly, he has poor adaptability.

Perhaps Budenholzer's pre-game setup was even more powerful than Popovich's, so that most teams couldn't find a way to deal with them throughout the game, but the on-the-spot adaptability was far behind, and once the tactics were restrained by the opponent, they were basically finished.

Just like this ball, they watched the Lakers' first three games before the game, and decided to defend Liu Ren quickly, and when Liu Ren accelerated and slipped into the opponent's interior, there were three people around him, and then they were caught off guard by Gasol.

When it was the Eagles' turn to attack, the Eagles' running was very good, they didn't have the kind of singles in the lineup that was particularly powerful, and everything was played according to tactics.

The Lakers kept up with the opponent's first breakthrough pass, the second block and dismantle pass, and finally in the third block and break through the ball The Lakers did not keep up, Korver received the ball in the bottom corner, and the three-point shot was accurately entered into the basket, only the Nets made a crisp "swish", and did not even touch the basket.

It's a beep!

The Hawks, like the Spurs, are a team that can take the best of their role players, and before coming to the Hawks, Korver was just a decent bench and a consistent three-pointer.

Since coming to the Hawks last year, Korver has risen to prominence as the most consistent three-point shooter in history with Ray Allen, and that race looks set to continue this year.

"Quick, run, don't fall into position......" D'Antoni yelled from the sidelines.

The Lakers' defense was clearly a big problem, and the opponent only needed three passes to get open opportunities, but D'Antoni clearly didn't care about that, he felt that he just needed to use the attack to break the opponent.

So, after the Spurs scored, the Lakers still launched a fast attack, Green made a long pass to Gasol who ran to the middle line, and Gasol made a long pass to Liu Ren who was fast again.

The Eagles are quick to return to defense, and the three most important points in their defensive arrangement are to return to defense, shrink the inside line, and stick to Liu Ren on the outside.

This is what the Hawks copied after watching the last game of the Spurs against the Lakers.

Liu Ren got the ball into the free throw line and faced the basket, Millsap and Carroll jumped high under the basket, their arms stretched upward, and jumped vertically, which is what other teams in the league learned from the Pacers Hei Yao Ming Gao Yuanyuan, as long as the offensive player hits it, nine times out of ten he will be fouled by the offense.

But Liu Ren threw the ball directly into the sky......
