The Spurs are undoubtedly Liu Ren's most formidable enemy after entering the NBA, and this enemy is only in the last year, the so-called prosperity and decline is not only a country, but also the team, he clearly remembers that the Spurs won the championship in the second year of the first round, and the regular season was only ranked seventh, the reason is simple, the troika still has a strong fighting spirit this year because they lost to the Heat last season.

Liu Ren is very eager to beat the Spurs now, he wants to beat the strongest opponent, this opportunity is not much time left, only this year, the Spurs may still be strong after that, but they will never be as strong as this season.

When it came to the Spurs' offense again, Parker missed two consecutive outside shots, making Kobe Bryant more relieved to shrink on the inside, and he didn't even make a perfunctory move to go up.

Danny Green is very good defensively, but he is just a shooter on the offensive end, Nash doesn't do anything else and doesn't do anything to make up for the defense, so he runs with Danny Green, and Parker has no choice but to let Leonard come out to catch the ball.

Leonard was going to get the ball as usual, his stats this season are 12 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, and his passing ability has been developed, and Popovich has coached him quite methodically and gradually.

At this time, Liu Ren said faintly: "I finally saw you get the ball, come on, let's see who is more powerful between the two of us, as the strongest outside team of the first and second teams in the league, are you more powerful or I am more powerful?" ”

Leonard was hit in the heart, if Liu Ren used a sarcastic tone, he would not be affected at all, Popovich trained him to be a machine that would not be provoked at all, the same as Duncan, but it is estimated that Popovich did not expect that someone would speak to Leonard in an expectant tone, instead of mocking.

Leonard seemed to hear Liu Ren's inner expectation, and seemed to feel that he would be disappointed if he didn't attack the other party.

This feeling of never being there made Leonard very difficult to get used to, so unaccustomed!

This feeling deeply stimulated Leonard, and he chose to single Liu Ren!

Leonard chooses to break through! His breakthrough routine is very simple, relying on his body to break through!

Liu Ren stood directly in front of Leonard and blocked Leonard, who took the initiative to bump in! Leonard bumped into it himself, but instead knocked himself into a stumble!

Leonard felt like he was surrounded by an iron gate, and he couldn't get into the inside line no matter what!

If it were usual, Leonard would definitely choose to pass, but now he only has the idea of attacking in his heart, and he doesn't want to be looked down upon by the other party!

"Smack"

Liu Ren took advantage of Leonard's inattention to slap on the ball and steal head-on! He copied the ball and quickly counterattacked!

Leonard fought to catch up, Liu Ren sprinted in front of him, jumped to the free throw line and dodged Leonard's block and replaced it with a left-handed dunk.

After Liu Ren landed, he glanced at Leonard with disappointed eyes and said: "It turns out that your offense is so bad, I'm looking forward to it, let's play team attack, it's boring." ”

After speaking, Liu Ren ran back to defend without looking back.

Leonard felt as if he was being pitied!

The Spurs attacked, Parker advanced to the frontcourt, he saw Leonard playing very difficult against Liu Ren in the last round, and planned to come by himself, ready to let Duncan come out to block and play another tactic.

But Leonard rarely took the initiative to ask for the ball!

Parker gave Leonard some hesitation, after all, Leonard's talent is the strongest among all the young people in the Spurs right now, and they can feel that Popovich values Leonard.

So Leonard once again plunged into Liu Ren's trap, and it was difficult to take a step forward!

Liu Ren's goal has been achieved, using the opponent's character of not admitting defeat, arousing the other party's desire to prove himself, Leonard's current offensive ability is really average, and Liu Ren is like playing with him.

In the next four rounds, Leonard seemed to be a different person, and was played by Liu Ren in applause, constantly seeking individual singles, but did not score a single time.

On the contrary, the Lakers' side continued to attack successfully, and after a few rounds, the score became 17-6, and the Lakers led by 11 points!

Popovich called a timeout!

"What are you doing? Giving you the ball is not for you to play blindly, you have to cooperate with your teammates and give the ball to your teammates who can throw the ball! Popovich yelled at Leonard.

Leonard didn't speak, but he was very unhappy in his heart, when they beat the Lakers four days ago, Liu Ren played so badly, but D'Antoni kept cheering for Liu Ren on the side, so that Liu Ren let go of the fight and didn't have to worry about poor condition.

Why can't I vote when I get here? Leonard felt a deep sting in his heart, and he hated himself even more for not being able enough, and the other party was so looking forward to a showdown with him, but he himself couldn't respond.

Seeing Leonard's stubborn face, Popovich said angrily: "You sit on the bench and calm down, and think about what you should do and what you shouldn't do!" ”

Leonard walked to the bench without saying a word, Duncan came over and patted him on the shoulder and said: "You are still young, you will have a chance to score in the future, now you should play according to the coach's arrangement, don't be affected by the other party, you are different, your task now is to defend." ”

Leonard didn't reply, sitting on the bench by himself, his heart was extremely unbalanced: "Still young? Liu is younger! Why he can, why! He's also so good at defending and can attack, why can I only practice defending every day! If I ...... like him."

One thing that is certain is that Popovich has trained Leonard to be as tough as a rock in the previous two years, allowing him to defend against all trash talk and play in the most stable state.

Popovich is cultivating Leonard exactly the same way he cultivated Duncan, and if it goes on like this, Leonard will definitely become a superstar in the future, there is no doubt about it.

But Leonard has the same defensive talent as Duncan, but the offensive talent is much worse, unlike Duncan, who enters the league and has absolute dominance on both offensive and defensive ends, and now the Spurs are not bad scorers, which makes Popovich pay attention to suppressing Leonard's offensive impulse from the beginning.

Leonard also worked hard, walking according to Popovich's plan, and trained himself to be extremely tenacious.

But the more resilient a person is, the more fragile he becomes.

Liu Ren grasped this, he did not mock, he did not provoke, but used challenges to provoke Leonard's inner vulnerability.

As for whether this will affect Leonard's future development, whether Leonard will grow into a superstar in the future as in his memory, Liu Ren doesn't care at all, if this influence can make the other party lie down, then he is not qualified to be his opponent!
