He said that in order to give his teammates confidence, the hope he brought to the team this year cannot fall! But Liu Ren knows that the current situation must be very difficult to play in the second half!

Anthony has opened up the first half, 21 points in the first quarter, 9 points in the second quarter, and 30 points in the half, obviously in the best condition, and it is not easy for him to guard against this state at all. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"How do you defend the other side? How to prevent it? "On the short journey from the locker room to the pitch, Liu Ren has been thinking about this question.

Different from D'Antoni's small-ball tactics, Liu Ren also agrees that small-ball is the general trend of the future, the physical fitness of the current players is better than the other, and there will be more and more big centers who can play fast attacks in the future, even if there is another O'Neal, at most it is the only team where O'Neal has absolute interior destructive power, bombing the league for a few years, but it still can't change the trend of faster and faster centers in the future.

The difference between Liu Ren and D'Antoni's understanding of small ball is that Liu Ren believes that no matter what basketball he plays, defense is still fundamental, just like the super team Warriors who should appear next season, the foothold is not three points at all, but defense, they are so strong that they all rely on defending each other first, and then constantly throwing three points in counterattacks, which is still defense at all.

The second half started immediately, and the starters of the third quarter of the two sides were confirmed, and the Lakers were Bazemore, Nick Young, Liu Ren, Antetokounmpo, and Whiteside.

On the Knicks' side are Felton, Shambaught, Anthony, Stoudemire, and Chandler.

Mike Woodson's idea is clear, continue to use the previous style of play against the Lakers, and then use this lineup that is stronger than the starting offense at the beginning to further open the score, Anthony and Stoudemire took turns in the first half, which means that in fact, the two main scorers have a quarter equal to resting, and it is a waste not to take advantage of Stoudemire's rare good form to use it well!

As for Shambaugh's young and strong, Mike Woodson continues to use him to defend Kobe.

According to the Zen master's prediction, Kobe Bryant will definitely not be able to hold back his temper and must come up and fight them, D'Antoni will definitely not be able to stop him.

But Mike Woodson chuckled when he saw the Lakers' lineup, what about Kobe Bryant?

Shambaugh, who was ready to continue to be abused, was also stunned, and the other party actually sent Kobe Bryant to play the whole game like the Zen master said! He is ready to be abused by Kobe Bryant for the whole game, and he has to take the initiative to go on the court to have close contact with Kobe, what about Kobe?

At this time, Liu Ren saw the lineup of the Knicks, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and there was a way!

Liu Ren hurriedly called his teammates who were about to play together and whispered a few words.

"Liu, you're going to kill me, right? Let me go to the Melo guard? Nick Young's eyes widened.

"Then why don't I defend against Mero, and you defend against that little overlord?" Liu Ren glared at Nick Yang with a threat in his eyes.

Nick Young was intimidated: "You have to be serious when you speak!" Won't give Mero too many attacking chances! Giannis, you have to come over and help me pack the ball and let them pass the ball to Stoudemire! ”

"Rest assured, Giannis will definitely do a good job of helping the defense, right?"

Antetokounmpo is a good boy, hearing the conversation between the two and nodding again and again, Liu Ren wants to help him prevent Stoudemire, he is so happy, although Stoudemire's explosiveness is not as good as before, but the speed, flexibility, agility and agility have not decreased much, and the little bully, who feels good and is furious, bullied the good boy miserably in the second quarter.

The referee urged him to play, and Liu Ren finally said: "Okay!" According to what I just said, we will give them back what they do to us! ”

The Lakers Five Tigers came on the court with high spirits, and their momentum was completely different from the lazy appearance in the first half!

The Lakers attack first.

Anthony continued to defend Liu Ren closely, and he just needed to keep Liu Ren from the outside and get an open shot.

Shambaugh, who was originally going to defend Kobe, had no choice but to defend Nick Young, the poor version of Kobe...... Count Kobe Bryant!

After Bazemore dribbled past half court, Liu Ren went to the top arc to catch the ball, constantly scanning his teammates' movements, and beckoning Antetokounmpo to come out to catch the ball.

Seeing that Liu Ren's expression was completely different from the indifferent expression in the first half, Anthony said excitedly: "Liu, are you finally going to be serious?" Come on, let me see how you're going to get that big difference back! ”

Liu Renleng, who had just passed the ball to Antetokounmpo, took a look, which seems to be what he often says in the game, specially used to step on the opponent when he is leading by a big score, so that the opponent will play worse, and now it is him who is behind, and he is really difficult to adapt to all of a sudden.

And Anthony seems to have changed his whole person, giving Liu Ren a sense of danger, which he has only had in Kobe, Duncan, James, and Aldridge who has become serious!

It was too late for Liu Ren to think about it, he saw his teammate's running position, rushed directly to the right, helped Nick Young block Shambaugh, and then cut into the bottom line.

Shambaugh was originally used to prevent the Lakers from attacking with the ball, that is, Kobe, but Nick Young is known as the bankrupt version of Kobe, but Nick Young doesn't catch the ball at all and keeps running.

The Lakers are Antetokounmpo with the ball, and it is Felton who defends Antetokounmpo! Stoudemire can't defend it, and he definitely gave it in one step, and he also has to wrap up Liu Ren who may enter the inside line with Chandler.

Antetokounmpo, who was so big, pouted and hit Felton twice, knocking the little point guard who was 20 centimeters shorter than him to the side, and then nimbly turned around and smashed inside.

After Antetokounmpo entered the interior, Liu Ren just helped Nick Young create a three-point gap in the top arc, forcing the fast-paced Stoudemire to make up for it, and Chandler made up in front of Antetokounmpo, and the Knicks were empty inside! Antetokounmpo threw the ball to the basket and went into the best of it, but didn't......

Never mind! Liu Ren ignored the one-handed dunk of Shambaugh, who caught up after the change of defense, and pressed the ball back to the basket.

Just like Kobe Bryant said, as long as he is off the court, the Knicks' defensive strategy is used for fun!

The Knicks' current defense has an obvious shortcoming, as long as it is not Liu Ren who holds the ball and enters the interior, and someone can break through to the interior, it will shatter their defense in one fell swoop.

Kobe Bryant couldn't break up this defense because his breakthrough ability was really bad, and he was sure of the mid-range, and he couldn't fight for muscles inside.

Kobe Bryant let Antetokounmpo break through and then split the ball, and suddenly completed the task of breaking the opponent's defense, simple and rude, the method is much simpler than D'Antoni thought, and he is not without one, so many powerful warriors can use!
