250. Western Conference Finals 5
If Dio returns to the inside, there is still a certain amount of interior offensive deterrence, after all, his flexibility and footwork are still outstanding among the big men in the league, but Split is completely an offensive black hole!
Not to mention Split's ball-holding offensive skills, he doesn't have the physical fitness that modern coolies must have inside, after a small outbreak in the contract year and a big contract, the data performance in the first year of the new contract is fully paddling, and now the Spurs have a headache with this 4-year contract, but it doesn't work if you don't give it, Popovich still can't find the right person to break his head, so he can only give him a big contract of 4 years and 39 million first. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
For example, now, the Spurs have only Split who is the most suitable to defend Gasol except for Duncan, and Duncan has to save his physical fitness until the end, so he can only use Split to defend
However, Popovich didn't expect the Lakers to replace four starters when they were behind!
It should be said that Popovich did not expect D'Antoni to make such a substitution, D'Antoni is famous for the playoff eight-man rotation to run to death while running to death while running to death, Stoudemire's injury is largely related to D'Antoni's style of play, more than a dozen people rotated in the regular season, all of them are used to it, and when the playoff time of the main players surges, it is easy to get tired.
Not to mention Gasol, Thackeray is not something Split can handle, let alone the young, strong and super-mobile Whiteside! Much better than Split in every way.
Even Split's biggest trait, Split's steadiness, is not as good as the Lakers' mocking man who never spends a little more effort.
Split Split only averaged 7 points and 5 boards per game this year, and his 10 million annual salary and four-year big contract have completely become a garbage contract, in fact, his data last season was only 10 points and 8 boards, which is completely unworthy of such a big contract.
Compared with Thackeray on the current Lakers bench, he averages 6 points and 4 rebounds per game, as well as interior singles ability, with the role of a morale boosting machine, he is estimated to be crazy if he is given a mini-middle-class long-term contract, not to mention tens of millions of annual salaries.
When Buford told Split about the contract, he couldn't believe it himself.
Whiteside is obedient and plays a position on the inside, and his task this time is to defend the rebounds on the Spurs' weak interior line.
However, Whiteside didn't expect that his teammates would give him the ball and let him play singles when attacking!
Just now, Nick Young dribbled the ball over the half court and gave the ball to Whiteside who leaned on Split on the inside, there were only Whiteside and Split on the inside, Liu Ren took Dio out of the inside line and stood on the other side of the high post, and the other three Lakers all have three-point ability, which stretches the inside space very large.
For Whiteside's big body, the Lakers trust it very much, and playing Split is the same as playing.
Looking at the eyes of his four teammates who 'handed it over to you', Whiteside took a breath and hit him!
Whiteside was flattered to be able to get an inside singles opportunity, but he has been flattered countless times this year, and he almost competed for the rebounding title, so he quickly calmed down this time.
Don't look at Whiteside's usual taciturn, like a stuffy gourd all day long, but he is definitely a very smart person, and the unintelligent people D'Anthony and Kobe Bryant and the management will never look at him differently, even if Liu Ren recommends him.
Whiteside tried to beat the opponent hard, and it was a bit difficult.
Split has made some fortune this year, weighed a little more than last year, and is so hard that it is no wonder that Popovich wants to use him against Gasol.
But Whiteside is no longer the guy who couldn't play the ball in the first two years and could only go overseas to pan for gold, his biggest improvement in recent years is not technology, but the gradual softening of the feel and the use of physical advantages! His physicality is no worse than those former super center forwards!
I saw Whiteside lift the ball up, make a high hook move, Split raised his hand high to block Whiteside's hook line, suddenly, Whiteside put the ball away, the pivot foot left foot did not move, the right foot stepped out to the left back, left turned around half of the body across Split, right hand low hand layup, the ball deftly entered the basket.
Hassan did a good job. "Liu Ren has always liked this big man who always seems to have a look on his face that you will fall before you exert your strength, this small step is used, it is estimated that Thackeray is going to learn again.
Liu Ren has a little bit of low-post ability, and more relies on physical fitness to move in the low post, although being able to make good use of his body to play is something that most NBA players want to do, but Liu Ren still wants to have that kind of excellent technique.
Liu Ren also learned some card dexterity from Whiteside, and he felt that it was a waste to grab some rebounds without this body. As for the low-post footsteps practiced by Whiteside in the domestic NBL low-level league, Liu Renzhen can't learn it, and there are still some differences between the low-post footsteps of the inside and outside.
"Hey, hey." Whiteside's expression of gritting his teeth just now instantly turned into a sinister smile again.
Looking at Whiteside, who played a Sichuan stunt and changed his face, Liu Ren thought to himself that the team he was staying in was a group of strange guys.
It's time to defend Dior again, it's really hard to do it after Dior feels hot, Liu Ren thinks of Nowitzki and Aldridge, although Dior is obviously inferior to these two, but it still makes people headache when they erupt.
Liu Ren constantly hypnotized that he was not a Kobe Bryant, Reggie Miller-type venomous man, but his body involuntarily stuck to Dior, putting pressure on Dior, and his mouth began to be broken.
"Meat Pitcher, can you understand English on the West Coast?" Liu Ren seemed to be chatting with Dior casually.
Dio ignored Liu Ren, he began to run, wanting to run out of the right position to catch the ball and shoot, he didn't think that he was defending him by a small forward in his early two meters, or that he didn't think about going to the inside to eat the opponent, unless he was forced to do so, otherwise he must shoot outside.
In Dior's opinion, he himself is also a two-meter-and-six-meter player, by no means an insider, just a tactical need, and he will never play anything until he has to!
Liu Ren clinged to Dio and didn't let him have an easy chance to catch the ball and shoot, Dio is super fast and mobile in the inside, but in front of Liu Ren's physical fitness, which is second to none among all players in the league, it is completely not enough.
"Meat ball pitcher, let's compete with each other, which of the two of us grabs more rebounds, no, it should be said that you can grab half of the rebounds I grabbed, even if you win." Liu Ren continued to provoke.
"Bastard, who do you say is a meat pitcher?" Dio was already very unhappy when he was entangled to death, and when he heard Liu Ren continuously call him his least favorite nickname and provoke him with his most annoying rebound, Dio felt furious and asked Liu Ren viciously.
"Aren't you a pitcher? Only know the soft egg who shoots on the outside, do you dare to play on the inside? You don't even dare to go inside when I'm a little man, I really don't have a seed. Liu Ren deliberately focused on the pitcher, and he called Dior Meat Egg at the beginning just to attract Dior's attention.
