However, he can grab a lot of rebounds, and the shooting touch is really good, and there are so many shots, and with the Lakers having Whiteside as a rebound collector, Love still got 20 rebounds. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In addition to rebounding, Love's scoring ability is second to none among current interior players, averaging 28 points per game since the start of the season, and that's not counting today's 33 points.

Later in the season, Lefou's average points per game will definitely decline, but Liu Ren knows that Lefou's average points per game this year seems to be more than 25 points.

The Lakers' 2K evaluation score madman Whiteside is not to be outdone, playing 33 minutes to set a new career single-game appearance record, no way, the Lakers' rebounding is a bit of a loss today, Liu Ren and Gasol are both good rebounders, but they can't stand up to the opposite side is a rebounding idiot-Han!

Gasol grabbed the rebound by relying on his long arms, Liu Ren relied on bouncing, the ball did not bounce towards them, not the kind of ball that bounced into the sky and fell, they couldn't grab it. And Lefu is different, he has a special ability to rebound, like Rodman, who is a stealer, can predict the landing point of the rebound, and then act in advance, don't care about defense or anything, and grab rebounds if you retreat or something.

The Lakers suffered a loss in rebounding, and replaced Whiteside with the opposite side to suppress the opponent's overall rebounding.

Why is it said that the overall rebounding suppresses the opponent, because although the Lakers have grabbed the rebound in addition to Lefou, it is difficult for the other party to grab the rebound, but the opponent has Lefou! Lefou's rebounding is simply no one, except for shooting and grabbing rebounds, everything else has nothing to do with him.

So even though Love grabbed a lot of rebounds, the Timberwolves' defense was still terrible.

Today, Lefu faced the Lakers, the 5-2 rival ranked third in the West, and he was treated by Adelman as Yao Ming, to the death, and let him play garbage time, played 42 minutes, and scored 33 points and 20 boards on 10-of-26 shooting.

Not to be outdone, Whiteside had 11 points and 17 rebounds.

Liu Ren, who was robbed of all the rebounds by these two rebounding monsters, had less than 5 rebounds for the first time this season, but slashed 39 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, but unfortunately did not play in the final quarter and did not score the first 40 points of his career.

The day after the Timberwolves, the Lakers officially announced that they had signed a two-year contract extension with Kobe Bryant's maximum salary, with a total of $48.5 million for two years, with a refusal to trade clause.

What should come will always come, Liu Ren has long known that the Lakers will definitely renew Kobe's contract and ensure that Kobe's salary in the next two seasons is the first in the league, in order to repay the hero who dedicated his entire career to the Lakers.

At the same time, the Lakers revealed a message to other players: we will never treat our team's players badly, and we will not trade the team's star because he is old, but will give him a big contract to retire with peace of mind.

Obviously, this is the Lakers striking while the iron is hot, taking advantage of the Celtics' trade for Pierce this summer.

For this contract renewal, the outside world has mixed reviews, but even if it is a degraded person, it will not belittle the Lakers to give Kobe Bryant a big contract, but say that Kobe's salary in the next two years is too much, which will occupy the Lakers' salary space, or Kobe Bryant is almost impossible to have his previous state, after all, he is 35 years old and not worth such a big contract.

When he saw the news on TV, Liu Ren felt that a team should treat meritorious players like this, and to make players loyal, the team's loyal servants are also indispensable, even if it is only loyal to the star of the house.

Kobe's contract has increased the impression of many stars on the Lakers a lot, and Liu Ren has always felt that if it weren't for the Lakers' bad swing in the next few years, the team's strength would be too bad, and it would have attracted many stars.

"But since I'm here, I won't let the Lakers fall!" Liu Ren said silently in his heart.

Speaking of which, except for the time when the Lakers traded O'Neal away, in the entire history of the Lakers, all the superstars are basically old in the Lakers, McCann, West, Baylor, Chamberlain, Abdul-Jabbar, Magic, Worthy, these people are all retired from the Lakers, the only one in the entire NBA history.

Kobe Bryant's contract extension was just a small episode for the Lakers, and then the Lakers played the Pelicans again, and only Anthony Davis, a strong Pelicans, was abused by the Lakers who returned to their home court.

Gasol and Whiteside took turns to serve him, and the Pelicans' outside defense made Liu Ren feel one word - cool!

Whether it is Holiday or Evans, both defense equals air, Liu Ren hit 6 three-pointers in this game, set a new personal single-game three-point shooting count, scored 27 points and 9 boards in the third quarter, and then clocked out of work.

In this regard, Liu Ren looked at D'Antoni with resentment again, thinking: Let me fight for a few more minutes and get two pairs and I will die.

D'Antoni chose to ignore Liu Ren's thoughts, what did he think, and there were back-to-back the next day.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Pelicans 113-89 and won five consecutive victories.

After playing the Pelicans, the Lakers flew to Denver that night to challenge the Nuggets on the road.

If it was the Nuggets last season, it could cause a lot of trouble for the Lakers.

Last season, the Nuggets unexpectedly rose, under the leadership of coach George Carr, played a wonderful run, coupled with a group of players with above-average defense, all of them are physical men, and they are nicknamed the track and field team.

In Karl's offensive system, the Nuggets played the top three offenses in the league, and the defense was not ambiguous, ranking ninth in the league, and with a balanced offense and defense, they scored 57 wins and ranked third in the West, almost surpassing the Spurs and shocking the league.

George Carr also won the Best Coach award for this.

But after being eliminated by the Warriors in the playoffs, the Diggers fired George Carr, hired former Lakers assistant coach Brian Shaw as a coach, and began playing the triangle offense.

I don't know what the boss of the excavation team thinks, can anyone use the triangle attack? As for the Nuggets, a group of players who will exceed the average level, this group of track and field athletes to play the triangle offense?

It turns out that the Nuggets were able to play such a good record last year because they were suitable for George Karl's tactics, they were too suitable for running and shooting and defensive counterattacks, and the triangle offense could not be played without superstars.

This year, the Diggers have lost all seven games since the beginning of the season, and the smooth offense of last season is gone, and they have developed the kind of laziness on the defensive end of the offensive team that plays triangles, and the defensive counterattack is also gone. Bryan Shaw used Lawson as Kobe and Faried as O'Neal, and in the end the Nuggets' offense became sparse.

If it was last season's Nuggets and this year's Lakers, it would definitely be a beautiful offensive battle, but unfortunately it became a one-man show for the Lakers, the Lakers counterattacked under the leadership of Liu Ren and flew up, Green and Antetokounmpo, who replaced him, began to exercise the responsibility of organizing the inside, long passes, holding the ball to advance the counterattack and attract the defense after passing.

After Green began to hold the ball and promote the organization of the offense, it was Liu Ren who benefited the most, Liu Ren ran too actively, just like the description of small forward in the textbook: receive the ball and score on the layup, receive the ball and shoot to score, grab the rebound and score again.

Against the Nuggets, who were still confused and didn't know how to play, the Lakers won another big victory, 110-95, and won easily.
