31. Press and rub on the ground
Bazemore and Green were sold away by the Warriors, although after coming to the Lakers, they got opportunities that they didn't have before, and even became starters. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
But that's not to say they don't hate the Warriors, who they can't wait for from the moment they know that the preseason opponent has the Warriors.
In the first quarter, Liu Ren was present, and the person who performed was naturally Liu Ren.
In the second quarter, Bazemore and Green, who had been agreed upon, plus Whiteside, who came off the bench, began their performances.
The Lakers attacked, Whiteside easily gained space on the inside, and his height, reach, and weight flexibility were perfect for the opposing backup center Jermaine O'Neal, who was once a super power forward and is now in his twilight years. Green's pass hit the right side of the basket when Whiteside was in the best position, and Whiteside pressed the ball into the basket in the air.
It's so relaxed, so relaxed that the audience who sees the ball feels too fake! How could it be so easy!
Only Liu Ren on the side has seen Whiteside's performance during the Heat period, Whiteside's biggest feature is the use of his body, never waste a little more strength, will not deliberately knock the opponent away from the shot, he will only use the force that just squeezes the opponent away and puts the ball in, it feels as if he dribbles and takes a step inside and goes directly to the basket, and the opponent has no resistance.
In fact, the opponent can't stop him at all!
After the Warriors attacked, Blake burst inside, Whiteside didn't give the former Lakers point guard face and directly fanned his layup.
Bazemore picked up the ball and quickly countered to score.
On the offensive end of the Lakers' side, the positional battle relies on Green's ability to always pass the ball to the right person, Famar's breakthrough is his strong point, and his outside vacancy shooting ability is also excellent, Whiteside's big block is very powerful, and the shooting rate after the inside line is stuck in the position is extremely high, the key is that he is easy to get to the position, even if Bogut is replaced, he can still find a chance to shoot.
When playing fast break, Bazemore has excellent speed, and the Lakers have the ability to counterattack and advance from point guard to power forward, Nick Young is still in excitement when he first arrives at the Lakers, and the counterattack chases the three-point is very slippery, and Whiteside has a very strong sense of blocking on the defensive end, and he has 6 blocks and 15 rebounds in 22 minutes on the court, which is simply a monster.
If Whiteside's big man can still figure out how to block more, Green's height and size can change to defend Curry, it will be a big surprise, this guy moves quickly and has strength, although he can't completely keep up with Curry, but he can still press the opponent to the baseline to give Whiteside a hat.
Liu Ren and Gasol did not play after the first quarter, but the point difference was even bigger!
In the end, the Lakers beat the Warriors 133-97!
Bazemore and Green, two "vengeful" guys, did not rest for a second in the second and third quarters, pressing the Warriors to the ground and rubbing and rubbing again.
In the end, Bazemore scored 22 points, 7 rebounds and 3 steals, and Green had 6 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists.
The performance of the two made Warriors head coach Mark Jackson call hell! The two of them were completely rookies in the Warriors last season, okay! How can it be so powerful!
Whiteside's 15 points, 15 rebounds and 6 blocks, 5-of-6 shooting, and 5-of-8 free throws also made Mark Jackson almost scold, another player he had never heard of, playing better than Bogut, who had an annual salary of 14 million!
Nick Young and Famar are all famous in the NBA, one is a singles king, the other is a two-time champion backup point guard, Bazemore and Green and Drummond were not famous at all before, and they actually pressed the Warriors with five star players to the ground.
Because the Lakers have been a top team in recent years, the Lakers also played well in the second half of last season, and not many people were surprised to play against the Warriors, a team that has been a fish belly in recent years.
Only the Warriors management kind of felt that something was wrong there, and Mark Jackson could only swallow the bitter fruit, and he still didn't feel how much of a loss it was to trade Bazemore and Green, he felt that these two people just happened to explode.
Only Whiteside made Mark Jackson feel that the Lakers might have picked up a treasure, and there are not many people in the NBA who have this kind of physical fitness, and those who have this kind of physical quality, even fewer who have that kind of card position, block, and rebounding awareness, and those who have both are players of Howard's level, and there is only one in a few years.
After the game, Liu Ren was surrounded by a large number of media, and the Chinese players who scored 23 points and 5 boards in a single quarter, even in the preseason, made the fans happy, and a large number of media surrounded him, even more than Kobe, Kobe, who had been laughing and cramping in the face by the camera, finally had the opportunity to rub his face, and he laughed sourly.
"You got off to a really good start today, why didn't you play in the last three quarters? Is it the coach's arrangement? A reporter asked.
What kind of question is this, I have said the answer and asked what to do, Liu Ren was speechless for this kind of question, but still replied: "The preseason is mainly to observe the strength of the players, I think my strength coach should already know very well." ”
The answer is very confident, which is very much in line with his character.
"The Lakers have signed a lot of young players this year, and Kobe Bryant is still recovering from injuries, do you think you are the best outside player for the Lakers other than Kobe?"
"Kobe Bryant is also the best player in me, and my goal at this stage is to be the best player for the Lakers, the next question." Liu Ren raised his eyebrows and said loudly domineeringly, and Kobe Bryant on the side laughed when he heard it.
In the past, he felt that the questions of the domestic media were like a brain watt, but now he feels that this is the case, what are these questions? He knows that the domestic media is actually very kind to the players who play in the NBA and hopes that they can play well, but the questions asked are very aggressive, which makes the players and fans want to vomit on them. Like Jeremy Lin, when he was ready, they loved to ask Jeremy Lin this kind of question, and they always asked Jeremy Lin's teammates some similar questions.
Once or twice was fine, but after more than that, the teammates felt annoyed, and even had some opinions about Jeremy Lin.
Fortunately, Jeremy Lin's strength is tough enough, and his personality is also the character of an American, if he was replaced by Yi Jianlian, that fragile glass heart would have been forced out of the NBA long ago.
Liu Ren's heart is also big, and he deliberately answered loudly to avoid embarrassment.
"You scored 23 points in a single quarter today, are you confident that you will be an All-Star this year?"
'It's just a pre-season game, it doesn't say anything, I'm going to work towards that and hopefully the fans will vote for me more when the time comes.'
The problem is idiotic, just pulling for votes.
NBA teams play very few times in China, and every time it is an exciting day for media reporters, not every reporter has the opportunity to interview NBA players, and this time they have prepared a lot of questions.
In order to establish a good relationship with the Chinese market, the league arranged a long interview for the Chinese competition.
Liu Ren basically answered numbly in the end, seeing Kobe Bryant walking among reporters with ease, he couldn't help but sigh that it was worthy of practice, and the answer to each question could pull out a few famous words, worthy of being the most literate high school student in the legend.
