Liu Ren held the ball in the top arc, Ariza came over to defend, Green immediately came out to block and dismantle, Liu Ren handed his hand to Green when he cut in, and then went straight to the inside. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Howard immediately came over to stick to Liu Ren.

I have to say that Howard is worthy of being known as the Monster, the league's No. 1 center, with speed comparable to guards, and strong strength, which can be said to be the strongest player Liu Ren has encountered since entering the NBA.

Howard was extremely shocked after being entangled with Liu Ren, he didn't expect that the young man who sat next to him for a year last season and played him in the last few games actually had the strength comparable to James, and he was not left behind in the big center position!

Howard is a small-minded man and didn't speak to any of the Lakers players today. He originally came on the court with the idea of beating the Lakers, but found that the other party was not as bad as he imagined, but played better than his current Rockets.

And after the game started, the Rockets didn't pass him the ball as he thought, let him take revenge, but played his own, and didn't think about passing the ball to him at all, occasionally passing two balls is still the kind of empty catch that can be seen as a blind throw!

In the eighth minute of the first quarter, the Lakers led the Rockets by 4 points, 28-24, and the pace was fast.

After Harden played normally, the Rockets offense took off, and today the Rockets felt good, and the Lakers couldn't defend it.

Why can't you prevent it, because the Lakers don't know what the other party is going to do every round of the Rockets' offense, and they are completely unreasonable in their search for air catches, Howard's explosiveness is not as good as before, but the bounce is still barbarred, and his back injury and back injury have eased a lot in the summer since the beginning of the season, and the violent jump is directly buckled. In addition to the cold air catch, the Rockets have four outside lines, yes, four outside lines, and even Jones is on the outside, whether they have a chance or not, maybe they just feel that they have a chance, and they are very decisive when they get the ball, but they feel good today, and the ball is scored awkwardly.

XJBD, it's hard to prevent!

If it is a team with offensive routines, even if the Lakers don't have a coach to arrange how to defend, this group of people can slowly figure out a little bit of the opponent's routines, at least they can limit the opponent.

However, these players of the Rockets themselves don't know how they will attack in the next round, let alone the Lakers?

In turn, the Lakers' offensive routine is obvious, Liu Ren first ran three points on the outside and bombed the basket with the ball in the inside, hit the Rockets a dismount, and by the way, Howard stiffened, 2+1 put the ball into the basket, which scared the Rockets, and McHale yelled and shrunk regardless of anything else, and then let Ariza, the team's best defensive player, cling to Liu Ren. This is still the way he got to deal with Liu Ren by watching the Spurs and Lakers games.

However, this kind of defense makes the Spurs fast in rotation and the Hawks strong in overall defense, there is no problem, the key is that they are Rockets! McHale only knew how to shrink, but he didn't expand the defensive routine.

So the other four of the Lakers were cool, Gasol and Green hit the shot, and Wesley Johnson and Bazemore shot from the outside.

Liu Ren struggled with the opponent on the inside, stealing one or two offensive rebounds.

Fortunately, the Lakers also felt good today, and started an offensive battle with the other party.

The game scene is very good-looking!

After Liu Ren cut inside, the Rockets immediately contracted, Green was empty, and he dribbled a step into the three-point line and shot.

Miss!

But! Liu Ren slapped the ball out and was picked up by Wesley Johnson.

Wesley Johnson, the guy who was guarded by Harden's eyes, made a three-point shot......

Still missed!

Liu Ren broke out again, grabbed the 5th rebound in a single quarter, and he wanted to dunk directly, but was pulled down by Howard, who had been aggrieved for the whole quarter! Liu Ren was thrown to the ground!

This can be called a malicious foul!

The Lakers immediately surrounded the sidelines, and Kobe, Nick Young, Thackeray and others on the sidelines all stood up, obviously unhappy with Howard's foul.

The Rockets also followed, although they didn't know why Howard fouled so hard, but they still supported Howard, and they were teammates anyway.

Why do you suddenly look like you're going to do something? The referee hurriedly separated the people on both sides, and then asked Liu Ren if there was anything wrong.

Liu Ren shook his head and said that there was no problem, the moment he fell to the ground, he was very angry and painful, the first time Liu Ren thought of ****, and he wanted to turn over and punch Howard at that time.

But he quickly calmed down, the pain was the kind of hard pain, not the kind of pain that was twisted, that is, a hard hit, no big problem, as a person who has been playing for many years, this kind of thing can be clearly distinguished.

Liu Ren walked to the sidelines and checked the team doctor with him, and there was no problem and he could continue the game.

The referee looked at the defense on the technical table, and under the pressure of the angry D'Antoni on the side, and Howard did foul the ball very much, giving a first-degree malicious foul.

Liu Ren stood on the free throw line and missed the first free throw.

The referee blew the whistle and entered the official timeout, and finally could take a break, the referee thought.

Liu Ren is really speechless about his free throws, barely having a shooting rate of more than 70 percent, you must know that his three-point shooting rate is as high as 4 percent and 5 percent now.

During the pause, Kobe Bryant kept thinking on the sidelines, and he didn't say why, which was to satirize Liu Ren's defense.

How to say it, Liu Ren couldn't think of rebuttals when he was read by Kobe, because Kobe Bryant said it very reasonably, talking about his loopholes, but he didn't say a solution, which made Liu Ren depressed and accepted the careful examination of the team doctor while being read.

The result of the examination was that Liu Ren was completely fine, and his body was very good, but he just knocked it.

D'Antoni breathed a sigh of relief, when he was in the Knicks, Jeremy Lin played very well in that section, but unfortunately he didn't pay attention to the injury, and later the regular season reimbursement also hindered Jeremy Lin's momentum of taking off, otherwise he has been playing in such a good state, and it may not be worth more than 5 million now.

Speaking of Jeremy Lin, I have to mention Liu Ren's regret in this game, that is, he can't fight Jeremy Lin. Jeremy Lin was injured at the beginning of the season and is still recuperating at home, so he gave Beverley the opportunity to start.

Liu Ren remembers that it was the injury at the beginning of the season that allowed Beverley to sit firmly in the starter, and Jeremy Lin has been playing on the bench since he returned, and was finally waived by the Rockets and sent a first-round pick to the Lakers.

If this situation continues, will Jeremy Lin eventually come to the Lakers?

Liu Ren is looking forward to this possible situation, there are either black or white people in the team, and only he is a yellow person who is still a little lonely.

And Liu Ren knows that Jeremy Lin joined the Hornets at a price close to the base salary after the end of this three-year contract known as the poison contract, and only then did he really show his strength, if he can let Jeremy Lin stay and play his strength, the Lakers bench will be very terrible, and he will not lose to the starters of other teams at all!

After the timeout, the two sides began to make substitutions, with the Lakers replacing the other four with Henry and Whiteside, Antetokounmpo and Marshall.
