73-82, after Liu Ren's three-point shot hit, the difference returned to within ten points!

You have to hit the rockets hard, that's what you said when you were huddled around before the competition. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Kobe Bryant did it himself, and in the first two quarters of the Rockets' unexpected defense produced unexpected results, Kobe Bryant scored 29 points on 11-of-17 shooting.

However, others were limited by the Rockets' magical defensive tactics, and they were stunned by the opponent's nose and played most of the game.

Although Liu Ren scored 20 points in the first half and scored easily, it was part of the Rockets' tactics, which was to make the Lakers have no chance on the outside and rush inside.

Now that the Lakers have used the correct tactical posture, they have reversed the situation all at once, and the others finally got the chance to beat the Rockets!

The Lakers used the exact same defensive strategy as the Rockets, leaving Whiteside alone on the inside.

Whiteside's current interior defensive suppression is obviously stronger than Howard's, Howard was originally a short center, eight centimeters shorter than the two-meter-16 Whiteside, and now Howard's explosiveness is not as good as a year, the defensive dominance has dropped significantly, and the opponent is not as afraid of his block as before.

And Whiteside has been in the limelight since last season, competing with Anthony Davis for the block title, and he has almost every game with a top five block.

In addition to the strength of interior defense, defensive deterrence is also very important, and Whiteside has begun to slowly accumulate his defensive deterrent.

The weird thing happened, the Lakers used the Rockets' defensive strategy, and it worked better than when the Rockets used this defensive strategy!

When the Rockets use this defensive strategy, they can limit the outside at most, and Howard on the inside is now really unable to defend two people, but Whiteside can cut off the cooperation between the players who break through and the inside.

That's Whiteside's strength, unlike Howard, he started out as a role player on the defensive end when he re-entered the NBA, and he was ready to start as a player on the very edge, but he was so talented that he quickly became the first bench at the center position.

And Howard has been the core of the team since he entered the NBA, his positioning is the core of the defense, and he won't do the troublesome thing of cutting off the opponent's passing route, he uses it to finish the defense, which is the final block, and blocking people or something is the business of a big forward, so he won't do it.

On the other hand, Howard is a little short against most centers in the league, and it is difficult to block the opponent's outside vision.

In fact, it is normal, the defensive strategy that the Rockets have figured out this time is indeed very set, on the basis of the Lakers and the Rockets' offense are very good, let the opponent score inside, strangle the opponent's outside, so that the opponent's outside feel can not accumulate, and finally shrink the inside line to make the opponent's inside scoring pressure increase suddenly, it is indeed a very suitable team for the Rockets, whose defense is originally equal to nothing.

Moreover, this defensive strategy is simple and rude, directly telling the opponent the purpose of the defense, and not giving room for maneuver at all.

Liu Ren remembers that the Rockets relied on the tactics commonly known as "blind-several-put-hit" this season to reach the Western Conference Finals, and then met the Warriors who specialized in their defensive strategy.

This defensive strategy is to defend against three-point shooting, and it takes the first three quarters to drag the opponent's three-point ability to freezing point.

But the Warriors' three-point shooting is not something that can be defended by pressing the defense.

It's a really good tactic, and it's quite effective against most teams that rely on three-point feeding.

It's just that the Rockets in Liu Ren's memory are the only ones who use this style of play, and McHale didn't expect that there would be opponents who imitated his defensive strategy in this impossible way.

The Rockets were limited by the Lakers on the offensive end!

The Rockets' all-time three-point shooting run came to an abrupt halt at 21.

And on the defensive end, the Rockets also called hell.

The Lakers were indeed dragged down by the Rockets' defensive strategy, and the Lakers made four straight three-pointers in more than two quarters, less than a quarter of the Rockets.

In addition, Kobe, Nash, and Gasol, the three major mid-range shooting masters, all went off the court, so it was right for the Rockets to shrink the inside.

But!

Liu Ren fired infinitely at the middle distance like that!

The Rockets are one of the teams that pay the least attention to mid-range shooting, the offensive end does not pay attention to it, and the defensive end does not pay attention to it, when Liu Ren hit 4 empty shots on the right side of the free throw line, the score has been tied by the Lakers! 87 flat!

Now the Rockets are confused, and they can't find a way to deal with the Lakers' defensive strategy, that is, their own defensive strategy!

What's more, if they find a way to deal with their own defense and use it, then they give all opponents a way to deal with them!

And this decent defensive strategy was already something that McHale barely thought of after trying to break his head.

It was embarrassing, so McHale chose not to act.

Seeing that the score was tied and overtaken, and the point difference was widened, McHale could only watch.

In the final quarter, D'Antoni fielded a lineup of Jeremy Lin, Kobe, Liu Ren, Antetokounmpo, and Whiteside.

On the defensive end, the Rockets' defensive strategy was still followed, and on the offensive end, the offensive end used Jeremy Lin and Antetokounmpo's breakthrough ability to force the opponent to keep shrinking.

In the end, the Lakers reversed the Rockets 122-110 to get their first victory.

Kobe Bryant continued his excellent form last season, scoring 40 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, and Liu Ren scored 44 points and 7 rebounds, and the two combined for 84 points, and were the main scorers after the outside line was restricted in this game.

Kobe Bryant and Liu Ren both got 40+, this incident is not surprising, what is surprising is that Liu Ren scored 18 points out of 44 points by mid-range shooting!

Liu Ren hit 9 mid-range shots today! And he hit 17 shots for the whole of last season! In other words, he hit more than half of last season's mid-range shots in a game!

A New Generation of CIC Masters? Kobe's perfect successor? 》

That's the headline of the Los Angeles Times, and they're always biased towards the Lakers.

"The rumors are self-defeating, the perfect inheritance of Kobe Bryant and the boss"

Sports Illustrated is also biased towards the Lakers in general, their parent company Time Warner signed a 5 billion contract with the Lakers, and the Lakers make more money if they play well.

In these years, it is not easy to produce a player who is a great mid-range player! Like James, he has practiced mid-range shooting for several years, but the result is still like that, mid-range shooting is not like three-point, three-point has a reference, and you can rely on fixed-point training to remember which position to use and how much effort to shoot.

The mid-range shot needs to shoot at any position within the three-point line, which requires more talent, that kind of soft touch, and accurate control of power, which cannot be practiced by training alone!

For a while, the Internet began to discuss Liu Ren's mid-range shooting frantically, look at those guys who are powerful in mid-pitching, Duncan, Kobe, Nowitzki, Garnett, which one is not a personal honor and championship?
