610. Hidden merit and fame
Gasol pushes into the frontcourt, and Harrell rushes out and pulls the ball directly at Gasol's hand!
Harrell may not have watched Gasol much before, and he underestimated his sister-in-law's flexibility and flexible posture...... Gasol slapped the ball to Harrell's crotch at the moment when Harrell rushed up and was about to make contact, and then turned nimbly with Harrell to receive the ball that passed under Harrell's crotch and hit the three-point line!
"Whoa, whoa, whoa............ Paul...... Gasol ...... "Driven by the live DJ, the fans at the scene are going crazy, and Gasol holds the ball and breaks through the crotch!"
If it was Liu Ren, Kobe, Nick Young, even if Antetokounmpo made such a move, the fans would think it was normal, but this is Gasol! A real power forward or even a guy who plays a traditional center most of the time actually makes such a move!
Gasol is getting older and more daring to play!
Bruwell of the Rockets rushed over at a 45-degree angle to make up for the defense, and Harrell was not much faster than Gasol, so he definitely couldn't catch up.
As soon as Brewer's reinforcement came over, Gasol made a clever behind-the-head pass to Nick Young.
Gasol was going to be depressed again, thinking it was a great assist, but Nick Young waited for Harrell to make up for it after dribbling under his hips......
But I really dare to enter! If you shoot Nick Young in the open space, it really doesn't necessarily go in, but Harrell came over to block like a sight for Nick Young, and the three-point hollow went straight to the basket.
Another three-pointer, and the Lakers gradually began to pull the score away.
Now the rocket is in a bit of a hurry.
Jason Terry came over again, facing the Lakers' defense, he directly accelerated and trotted, Antetokounmpo didn't say that he really couldn't keep up with such a small individual, Jason Terry rushed to the Lakers' basket and wanted to make a layup.
Jason Terry is still too anxious here, and he also thinks about the defending champion's interior defense simply, or maybe he is too confident, and his memory may still be stuck in the Western Conference playoffs four years ago, when he shot Monroe and jumped over to grab the ball in his hands.
It's another cap!
The Lakers are bullying the Rockets for their short stature.
The Rockets were really hurt by the cap this time, and there was also a relationship between the Lakers who had been pressing the rhythm, and the Rockets were not so active in defense, so Cory Brewer and Capela, two guys who have been very active, ran back.
Monroe is a good response point, even if the Lakers have been pressing the rhythm before, but there are also people who are fast, the pressure rhythm is just a little slower than the ball dribbling, this time Monroe directly threw a long pass into the hands of Nick Young in the midfield, Nick Young immediately accelerated to the inside of the rocket after receiving the ball, and rushed directly to the right side of the three-second zone, Corey Brewer and Capela were scared together.
Nick Young is known as the king of singles, with less than 100 assists in a season, and everyone thinks he is going to make another flowing strong shot, which fits his personality very well.
However, Nick Young actually made a ground-and-ground pass in the gap to Antetokounmpo, who cut in the air.
Antetokounmpo took the ball and slashed it into the basket.
Even Nick Young provided an assist, and the Lakers had a feeling of starting to play, and although the difference was not much, the Lakers were in complete control of the tempo.
The feeling on the Rockets' side is how uncomfortable they are to play, they feel uncomfortable no matter what they do, and they get frizzy easily.
This is the feeling that a team that loves to control the rhythm gives the opponent, just like the Spurs and Pistons ten years ago, making the opponent very hot.
For example, the current Rockets point guard Jason Terry.
Jason Terry rushed over with the ball, rushed directly into the interior again, and then faced several towers without a chance to shoot, Jason Terry has always been very confident, his highlight was probably only the year when the Mavericks won the championship, and the rest of the time he was just a decent sixth man, but after he won the championship, he regarded himself as a supergiant.
Just like now, Jason Terry was still confident after being trapped, and a confident pass to the bottom corner was just spotted by someone there, and it wasn't the yellow jersey he was wearing......
The referee of the bottom line subconsciously caught the ball with a confused face......
Little Bickerstaff finally couldn't bear it anymore, he immediately replaced Jason Terry, who was dizzy, with Harden and then replaced Harrell quickly, Harrell is short, not to mention, it's not fast, and in the face of authentic interior forces like Gasol and Monroe, it can't play a role in interference at all, and Josh Smith is replaced.
As soon as the Lakers saw that the other party was on Harden, Liu Ren was also quickly replaced.
It's finally time to play!
As a leading scorer, how can you not play!
Liu Ren was very excited to return to the court.
Harden saw Liu Ren's excited face, and his heart was broken, is it necessary for you to be so excited when you are the second in the West and the tenth in the West!
In fact, whether Liu Ren is not on the line is not a major problem for Harden, and Harden is also very excited to play against Liu Ren.
However, what Bickerstaff Jr. means is to let Harden defend Liu Ren.
Harden really wants to beep little Bickerstaff with a ......
Harden only expects Liu Ren to be the same as in the first quarter, just to come up and attract the defense and pass the ball.
However, to Harden's disappointment, Liu Ren did not go to the high post after coming on the court, but ran directly to the three-second zone and stood next to it.
Harden cautiously followed behind Liu Ren, very vigilant in his heart: What is the boss going to do?
Then Liu Ren turned around and pressed back, leaning on Harden, Harden's hair was about to explode: Is it?
As Harden thought, Antetokounmpo dribbled over and hung it to Liu Ren, who wanted to hit his back!
"Lean&......"
Before Harden could scold a dirty word, he was suffocated back by Liu Ren's direct bump!
Harden said that he didn't play like this, and he was drinking happily together yesterday to find a girl! Although I didn't bring Liu Ren to find a girl, I was afraid that the boss would be angry! Harden is also a player under Liu Ren!
Liu Ren didn't expect Harden and himself to be a player of the same company at all, so he directly slammed Harden into a reasonable collision zone three or two times, then turned to the side to the basket, lifted the ball, ignored Capela, who came over to help defend, hooked his little wrist, and the ball fell lightly from the heads of Harden and Capela into the basket.
This scene seems familiar, and the fans feel very familiar, but it is not the familiarity after Liu Ren occasionally uses it, but it seems to have been familiar many years ago, but for a while I can't remember who used it.
The fans didn't remember who used it, and the person who used it was already in a rage.
"See, Charles, Kenny, this is the ultimate killer move that this great mentor teaches the boss! The perfect invincible shark version of the sky hook! O'Neill yelled excitedly in the commentary room, almost climbing onto the commentary platform.
Barkley and Kenny Smith hurriedly grabbed O'Neal, if Barkley climbed up, it is estimated that the relationship would not be fought, and if O'Neal went up, maybe the table would be crushed.
O'Neal didn't taunt Barkley and Kenny Smith this time, because for Liu's brutal physique, this trick is really useful.
But both of them felt weird, they felt a kind of witty feeling like the magician, it seemed that Liu Ren had a feeling that his style of play had been crooked......
Clarkson was excited on the sidelines, and the boss finally helped him get revenge! Seeing Harden's face, Clarkson was happy!
Harden looked at the 15-point difference...... felt that his body was hollowed out, his record was not good, the overall strength of the team was not as good as last season, and the substitute lineup that he had relied on to survive was abused by the other party by more than 10 points, and he suddenly had no motivation.
Not only is the motivation gone, but there seems to be a little problem with physical strength.
In the first quarter, Harden didn't feel much for about ten minutes, but after coming back from a twenty-minute break, he began to feel weak.
This is going to talk about the benefits of the Lakers having a bad consultant, yesterday at noon, a certain current Lakers bad training consultant who was once known as the son of the wind knew that the cornerstone player of the Lakers team was invited by Liu Ren to entertain Harden for afternoon tea, so he made a phone call and introduced a very good nightclub with a lot of huge hip beauties, and sure enough, those beauties who were extremely hot for Americans hooked Harden to death, and began to do it in the nightclub with two beauties in his arms......
Of course, don't ask the bad consultant how he knows that there are a lot of busty babes in that nightclub......
The cornerstone is such a great player, although he may play less than half of the times in a season, and most of the time he shoots three-pointers, and he goes off the court after two singles on the inside, but his role for the Lakers is very big, and he often helps the Lakers complete the sniping of the best players on the other side without even knowing it.
Harden was taken to the Hollywood Western E-Feed nightclub by a certain cornerstone last night, and the huge hips beauties in it are all Hollywood e-feed actresses with real skills, and they are called a good one, and they sucked Harden for most of the night......
This is the cornerstone of the Lakers' greatness, helping the team invisibly, and avoiding publicity, hiding merit and fame.
In the first quarter, Harden's performance was not bad, and his one-handed pass to the person helped the Rockets fight against the Lakers for a while, but in the second quarter, he withered, the breakthrough did not move, the passer was soft, and he couldn't make effective interference when he was beaten by Liu Ren's back, so even after Howard was replaced, he couldn't make effective interference with Liu Ren's continuous strong eating inside......
People think that Harden was beaten by Liu Ren on the inside and lost his fighting spirit, and only a bad consultant who was laughing obscenely on the sidelines knew the truth......
In this game, Liu Ren got a good opportunity to show off his newly mastered back hitting skills! Bi Yongbo and Monroe watched Liu Ren crush Harden on the sidelines, playing with Howard and Capela with flexible little wrists, watching Howard be hooked when he was sealed head-on, and the side defense could only watch Harden being knocked away and then Liu Ren directly forced the dunk, and suddenly remembered the tragic time when he went to the Toyota Center for the first time in the summer, and was ravaged by O'Neal and Liu Ren in turn......
Lakers players are excited, some laugh lewdly, Rockets players feel that they have an unclear relationship with the Huskies, and some are angry and regretful.
And the fans are boiling!
Liu Ren's strong hitting skills on the inside line are getting better and better!
In the past, Liu Ren also had a back beating, but if he watched it a few more times, he would only eat it raw, and he would only knock people into it and dunk it directly.
But now there's a great little hook! Although the barbaric picture is indeed a little inconsistent with Liu Ren's previous elegant or energetic painting style, it is very powerful! One person can ignore the defense of two people and shoot easily, and due to Harden's poor defense, Howard's explosiveness is far less than before, and Liu Ren's shooting rate is super high after playing in the second quarter today! 4 out of 6 in inside singles! Also caused two Howard thug fouls! That is, 6 of the 8 rounds Liu Ren has been played! Forcing the Rockets to shrink at full strength.
Then the Lakers' outside Gasol and Monroe pumped wildly from the middle distance, Nick Young shot wildly outside the three-point line, and Antetokounmpo used Liu Ren's containment on the inside to pass the ball to the outside, and the assist brushed up.
In the first quarter, the Lakers and the Rockets were comparable, but at the beginning of the second quarter, the Lakers first played a wave of 17-4 to stretch the difference to 13 points, and in the second half of the quarter, they played a wave of 24-11, directly widening the difference to 30 points!
At halftime, the Lakers led the Rockets by 26 points, 69-43!
In the second half, Bickerstaff Jr. reluctantly gave up the game and replaced him with a full bench, seeing that the Rockets surrendered, the Lakers did not continue to press the other side to play, and also changed to the third lineup, Henry, McCollum, Ci Shiping, Nance Jr., Thackeray.
After all, the Rockets have always been a good business partner of the Lakers, and the core players of the two teams are still the same company, and there may be more opportunities for cooperation in the future, so the abuse is too bad and will affect the relationship between the friendly strategic partners of the two teams.
However, this year, the Rockets are a real dish, Bickerstaff Jr. has a lot of ideas, but he can't stand the team's veteran who is not strong and temperamental, there is a giant center who has contradictions, and a point guard who thinks he is a giant but can make three layups, both sides have changed to a bench lineup, and the Lakers have only left McCollum as a main rotation, and the Rockets have not made much waves.
In the end, the Lakers defeated the Rockets 112-97 and improved their record to 21-3.
Liu Ren was depressed again, he came up with a burst of excitement 6 in 4, 4 in the free throw line 3 scored 11 points in a row, the Rockets were knocked down, and as a result, he was forced to clock out at halftime, he only scored 5 points in the first quarter, and scored 11 points in the second quarter, and then scored a three-pointer in the counterattack, and scored a total of 19 points in the half.
If this is a scorching game, 19 points in the first half is very good, and it may score more points in the second half, just like the previous Jedi reversal of the 76ers, scoring more than a dozen points in the first half and slashing 60 points in the whole game.
But this crushing game only scored 19 points in the half, that is, 19 points in the whole game.
Again scored less than 20 ...... Liu Ren has no hope for this year's scoring champion, so it's up to Curry, Isaiah Thomas, Harden, and Lillard to compete......
