"Coach, can I play casually on the field?" Liu Ren asked uneasily.

D'Antoni looked at Liu Ren like this, a little strange, but still replied: "If the situation requires it, of course you can." ”

What does the situation need? Liu Ren was depressed, what kind of need method did the situation need?

Still not quite understood, Liu Ren moved to Kobe Bryant's side and humbly asked: "Scum, how did you solve it when you encountered the opponent who was half-dead against the defense?" ”

Scum? Kobe Bryant's face was red in an instant, this stinky boy hadn't used such a "noble" title for this god for a long time, so Kobe replied very carefully: "Kill them!" Cast them to death! Cast them to death! ”

Say the important thing three times.

Liu Ren made up his mind for a moment: "This is what you taught me!" Don't blame me if you lose! ”

On the other side, after Kobe Bryant answered Liu Ren's question attentively, he went to the Knicks to say hello to his old partner Fisher.

Although, Fisher's reputation has plummeted this year because of some personal affairs with Barnes, but this does not affect his friendship with Kobe, because Kobe seems to have seen this big bald and evil person - wife control, never let Fisher go to his house, avoiding the tragic situation of the old Wang next door coming to my house.

Fisher's encounter this year is the legendary workplace pride, the master of life tragedy, and was beaten by Barnes, but the Knicks he led were far better than the Knicks in Liu Ren's memory, so he lived quite nourishingly and became another successful young marshal.

However, everyone knows that Fisher can lead the team to play so well, and it has nothing to do with the Zen master behind him.

In the case of Liu Ren's distraction, the pre-game preparation activities ended, and the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game.

At the beginning of the game, Liu Ren instantly regained his fighting spirit and went on the court with the other starting teammates.

Lakers starters: Clarkson, Kobe, Liu Ren, Green, Gasol.

Kobe Bryant and Gasol didn't play much in the last game, and they got the opportunity to continue playing today.

Knicks starters: Calderon, Shambaugh, Anthony, Stoudemire, Jason Smith.

On the Knicks' side, Jason Smith, a former Heat first-round pick in '07, finally made the starting spot recently.

Jason Smith was a seven-foot big man selected by the Heat with the 20th pick in the first round in '07, with a tough style of play, fast movement, soft touch, and excellent ball handling.

But like most tough white centers, he often gets injured when he plays too hard, often hurting as soon as he fights out, and he doesn't even finish his four-year contract as a first-round rookie, and after three years of play, he was traded to the 76ers and then cut.

Later, Jason Smith went to the New Orleans Hornets to join Paul, and when he partnered with Paul, he once averaged 12 points and 8 rebounds per game, who knew that after a year Paul left, he continued to sink in the Hornets for three years, and last summer he got a two-year 7.5 million contract from the Zen master to come to the Knicks, and spent most of the first half of the season in a state of raising and playing, and returned to the starting line in recent games, and the state is very good, averaging 11 points and 9.2 rebounds per game with quasi-double-double data.

Although the 29-year-old Jason Smith has no room for improvement, this tall man and such mobility and tough style also allow him to occupy a very important position in the Knicks' relatively weak interior line when he is healthy, more or less making up for the gap in not keeping Chandler.

Gasol and Jason Smith came to the center circle to jump the ball.

Being young is good, Jason Smith won the jump ball on Gasol's head, and the Knicks attacked first.

CalderΓ³n pushed, came to the front court and handed the ball to Anthony for the first attack.

Because Anthony will post some tweets praising Liu Ren from time to time, in the eyes of Lakers fans who have always thought that Liu Ren is very withdrawn and has no friends, Anthony is a little angel, and Anthony and Kobe have a very good relationship, most Lakers fans don't hate or even like Anthony, even if it is away, they give him some cheers.

It is Liu Ren who defends Anthony, compared to the Anthony who came to the Staples Center last year, the current Anthony has a completely different temperament from the entire Knicks, with the oppressive force of a strong team, Liu Ren is naturally ready to fight.

Anthony regained his confidence, but the defensive pressure in the face of Liu Ren is also very great, this year Liu Ren is more powerful on the defensive end than last year, heavier, but the speed has not decreased, but the defensive impact and pressure are stronger, the most important thing is that the experience is more than last season, which Anthony has felt since the last game when the two teams met.

Anthony started with a series of feints that he is most proud of, the tentative step, and he is known as the offensive kaleidoscope, and he can shoot anywhere from beyond the three-point line, and has a very high success rate.

However, for Liu Ren, Anthony can shoot on the outside, Anthony's physique, the threat on the inside is much stronger than on the outside.

If Anthony wants to talk about the shortcomings of the offensive end, it is that his breakthrough ability is now much lower than when he was in the Nuggets, mainly because he needs to play big forward, and his weight is getting bigger and bigger, if he is also a big forward who defends him, he can easily break through, and if his small forward is thin, he can also rely on his body to crush, but if the small forward who guards him is not worse in height and weight than him, he will not be able to break through.

Now Anthony is facing Liu Ren's defense and is in a dilemma, and the breakthrough can't be broken through, and he can't make a strong shot against Liu Ren's defense? Anthony turned down the awesome option and beckoned Jason Smith to come out and pick and roll.

It's been a long time since I've played a block, and Anthony is a little excited! After Chandler left the Knicks, the Knicks' best big center was once a big soft guy like Bargnani, and Stoudemire's old arms and legs were still relieved to shoot and grab rebounds, and Anthony couldn't find anyone who could block and dismantle.

But with Jason Smith starting recently, Anthony finally feels like he's found a loved one.

Jason Smith is two meters tall and one four, weighs 118 kilograms, and can still have the speed of an ordinary power forward, and his talent is indeed great, if he didn't have so many injuries when he was young and cultivated well, he might become a fast version of Asik with shooting ability, but when he was young, he was injured in three days and two heads like Asik now, and he was completely delayed.

However, Jason Smith's blocking and demolition is really porcelain, and he restrains Liu Ren with a hideous face.

Just when Anthony borrowed Jason Smith's block to block Liu Ren from breaking through the right side of the basket into the three-point line and preparing to go straight to the basket, Green quickly made up the defense and blocked Anthony's way.

However, at this time, Green was surprised to find that Anthony did not have the ball in his hand!

On the other side, Jason Smith, who had just finished blocking for Anthony, quickly came to the left 45-degree angle to help Calderon block and pick-and-roll!

Just when Anthony borrowed the pick-and-roll, he threw the ball to Calderon who pulled out of the three-point line in the blind corner of Green and Liu Ren's vision!

However, the Lakers' rotation defense was very fast, and Bryant quickly made up for it and kept Calderon from giving him a three-point opportunity.

But the Knicks' tactical run is not over, Shambaugh used to help Anthony block Green who was making up for the defense, and on the other side, Jason Smith completed two blocks and then actively stepped forward again to block Liu Ren, who wanted to defend back to Anthony's side, Anthony successfully fell to the low post to face Gasol, and Calderon's pass also arrived in time when Anthony ran to the low post!

Triangle Offensive!

The Knicks ran so complicated, and in the end it was a triangle offense!

There are only three people who have the ball and only three people who have a head-to-head connection with the ball carrier, Calderon, Jason Smith and Anthony the triangle offensive endpoint!

The moment Anthony received the ball, he caught the ball and shot Gasol away, then slapped the ball to the ground, quickly stepped around Gasol in the air, slipped past the baseline and hit a backhand layup.

This tactical run lasted 10 seconds! It's crazy, it's complicated to the extreme! But the Knicks players are clearly used to it and playing really well!

Basketball is improving, and so is the triangle offense.

Lakers fans who have watched the Lakers play triangle offense for more than ten years were also stunned.

"Can the Triangle Offensive still be played like this?"

I have to say that the Zen master is the most talented of that coach, as long as there is a strong enough lineup, he can play for you.

Anthony scored the first goal for the Knicks.

Offensive and defensive transitions, Lakers ball possession.

Clarkson advances to the frontcourt.

Liu Ren just ran to the Knicks half, and as expected, Shambaugh began to circle him, and then Anthony was also faintly cutting off the connection between him and his teammates.

"Phew." Liu Ren was a little impatient, "It seems that after discovering the success of the Cavaliers' defensive strategy against me, it was decided that all teams began to play like this." ”

Liu Ren's favorite activity area in the past is the 45-degree angle on both sides, between the low post and the high position on the left, and the worst thing is the middle and long distance between the top arc and the basket and the free throw line, so as long as Liu Ren comes to the line at the 45-degree angle on both sides, Shambaugh will go up and go around the front to prevent him from receiving the ball, and when he is at a 90-degree angle, he will mark the defense, and when he encounters a no-ball block, the two of them will be sandwiched together, which is the defensive strategy made by the Knicks after referring to the successful defense of Liu Ren by the opponent the Lakers encountered after the All-Star Star.

After Clarkson held the ball on the outside and Liu Ren deliberately swam at a 45-degree angle on both sides, he quickly discovered the strategy on the Knicks' side.

Sure enough, if he still followed the strategy of playing according to tactics as in the first half of the season, Liu Ren found that he would definitely be targeted to death, and then he could only watch his teammates play.

Playing steadily is the quality that a superstar should have.

However, if you just play steadily, you can't be called a superstar at all!

Liu Ren withdrew from the three-point line and came to the top arc outside the three-point line, at this time Shambaugh really didn't dare to continue to go around, because once this position went around the front, Liu Ren could directly hit him and rush into the inside to face the basket, and Calderon and Anthony on both sides couldn't defend at all.

Clarkson's pass came immediately, and Liu Ren received the ball one step beyond the three-point line in the top arc!
