Leonard forced Kobe Bryant and wanted to pass Kobe Bryant with speed and strength. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, Bryant stepped on beautiful little broken steps and always appeared on the path of Leonard's breakthrough.

And Kobe's power is not afraid of Leonard at all, completely in hard steel Leonard.

Now Leonard was indeed surprised!

In this era of rampant point guards, scoring guards and small forwards have begun to functionalize, small forwards are a little better, but they have also begun to be functionalized on a large scale, Kobe's ability to prevent breakthroughs is completely enough for most small forwards in the league!

But!

Leonard is no longer an ordinary small forward, he accelerated to break through, Kobe Bryant prejudged the position and stuck the position, this time Leonard did not retract his footsteps, but relied on Kobe to turn around and accelerate Kobe Bryant!

Now Kobe Bryant can't keep up!

Leonard accelerates into the inside!

At this moment, the person who surprised Leonard appeared, and Liu Ren came to make up for it!

Leonard didn't rush and got the ball out of the first place and passed to Danny Green at the top of the arc.

"If he can't get in, you might as well come by yourself."

Just when Leonard was secretly proud of his perfect timing of the ball, Liu Ren's fluttering voice came.

"Bang"

Danny Green is as iron as Liu Ren expected!

Liu Ren happened to enter the interior at this time, jumped high to collect the defensive rebound.

If others don't know, can Liu Ren still not know? Danny Green started with winning the championship, and then for the next two consecutive seasons, the three-point shot was like a shooting point being emptied, and the shooting rate was terrifying!

Kobe Bryant defended Leonard, Liu Ren was not at ease at all, he had already prepared to assist in defense, and when Leonard took the initiative to stick it after being blocked from breaking through the route, Liu Ren rushed over directly.

Leonard is wondering why Liu Ren is so sure Danny Green can't shoot, and the rest of the Spurs are feeling hell again.

Liu Ren actually cooperated with Kobe Bryant to defend!

Next, Kobe Bryant and Liu Ren played a tacit cooperation at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and beat the Spurs completely confused.

The Spurs are a team with strict tactical discipline and play strictly according to tactics, their defensive tactics are to contain Liu Ren and Kobe Bryant's ball-handlers, and their offensive tactics are Leonard to initiate offense.

The main purpose of the Spurs' tactics was to take advantage of the disagreement between Liu Ren and Kobe Bryant and take advantage of the situation where the two were facing each other on the court to defeat the Lakers.

However, the two now play an excellent tacit understanding on both offensive and defensive ends!

Is it true that Kobe Bryant didn't know that Leonard had developed a beautiful turn this season? He has studied countless Spurs games this season, but he can only defend like that, because his pace can't keep up, only anticipatory defense, and he firmly believes that having Liu Ren behind him will help him!

Fans originally thought that the Spurs had a huge advantage in this game, after all, they were the defending champions, and even if they couldn't beat the Lakers, at least they were evenly matched.

But after the start of the game, the situation was completely different from what the fans expected!

The Lakers changed the painting style of the last game of fighting separately and ignoring each other inside and outside, Green sent a subtle off-ball block for Kobe, and Liu Ren decisively passed the ball to the outside.

There is also a strict defense, the Lakers are completely a team with both offense and defense, and tacit cooperation!

Kobe Bryant attacked for more than seven minutes in a row, and scored 14 points in the first quarter!

And the Lakers got off to a 22-6 start! Blow the spurs directly!

At this time, everyone reacted, and the Lakers may not have infighting at all, they are all acting for others to see!

"Greg, I just said that there must be something wrong with the Lakers' conflict this time, and it's coming for us." Buford sighed, "This time our players and fans are expecting us to win. ”

"I've guessed that." Popovich didn't look flustered at all.

Buford asked curiously, "Then why did you arrange that before the game?" Isn't that a blow to the self-esteem of our players? ”

"That's what I'm here for." Popovich didn't even look at the court, he seemed to have expected the current situation, and he almost watched the scene with a glass of red wine.

"Why?" Buford couldn't figure it out, what good was that?

Popovich thinks that his general manager is good at everything, but he has a bad vision and does not judge the situation.

However, Buford has his advantage, that is, he listens to the words of the president, that is, he listens to the orders of Popovich, the head coach and president, as long as it is arranged by Popovich, even if he has doubts, he will strictly implement it.

"Our players are so proud! Whether it's Chris or Kewai, they're so proud! ”

"Chris doesn't need me to say that you can see it, now that he's no longer defending, and the offense is only focused on getting his own stats, he thinks we'll give him a big contract extension after this season."

"And Kawai, he's a lot more confident this year, he's been very confident since he defended James last season, but he's too confident! You see, he always wants to defend Liu, he thinks he can do it, but what we need is not for him to defend against a Liu, but to use his defensive ability to contain the opponent's entire outside offense, he is a little proud, thinking that he can compete with those top small forwards if he wins the championship MVP. ”

"He never understood the difference between him and those super talents, and I believe Liu can do the same defensive work as he does, and at the same time he can do a complete offensive performance."

"Kawai's offensive performance this year has really been a lot better, he's started to take the role of playmaker, I gave him the ball, and then his mistakes started to increase, he cares too much about the difference between himself and other top small forwards, and always wants to do what others have done."

"In this game, the Lakers completely guessed the psychology of our players, you see, Kehuai has been toyed by Liu between applause, but he still hasn't found out."

Popovich said a lot of words and took a sip of Gatorade to slow down.

"Would you like to remind Kehuai? He's the heart of our future team, and if his pride and confidence really take ......a hit," Buford hesitated.

Buford understands and understands, and still thinks that Popovich has clearly seen everything this time, but he doesn't give a hint, but instead "helps" the Lakers to yin his own people, which feels a little inappropriate.

"Richard, if he loses faith because of this, he won't be Kawhi Leonard." Popovich remains confident.

Popovich was going to give Leonard a heart-wrenching blow, and he wasn't worried that Leonard would be broken.

Leonard's heart is too strong! So strong that Popovich felt terrible, just like Kobe Bryant when he was young!

First, he lost all the key free throws in the Finals and lost the championship, and then the regular season in the second year was blown up by a sudden rise of his peers, and finally he was able to learn lessons and experience in a short period of time and make a comeback in the Finals to prevent the first person in the league.

With such a big heart, are you afraid that he will lose confidence? What Popovich wants to do most now is to wear away Leonard's excess self-confidence!
