Kobe Bryant is really not as good as Harden in terms of overall strength, even if Kobe Bryant ranks first in the league in scoring guard efficiency this season. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

All-roundedness, rebounding, assists, overall strength Kobe Bryant is really not as good as Harden now.

However, Kobe Bryant doesn't need to be comprehensive at all, he only needs to score, and compared to this alone, Kobe is much better than Harden, playing Harden is like playing.

Harden watched Kobe Bryant hit the free throw wistfully, thinking in his heart how many years have it been, why hasn't Kobe Bryant been old?

Rocket offensive.

Beverley holds the ball, and Harden habitually wanders to think about life.

Beverley's defense with physical instinct is really good, but his offensive ability is very poor, Jeremy Lin's constant interference almost missed, and Howard and his pass after blocking and cutting the ball also almost missed.

Howard eventually got the ball and knocked Gasol to get up and dunk, but Gasol pulled him down this time.

Two free throws.

Gasol's face flushed, he was not afraid of Howard with his static strength, he was getting older and older, and Gasol's tall stature was getting stronger and stronger, but he was too bad in terms of explosiveness.

"Good job, just don't let him dunk like that." Bryant stepped forward and comforted.

Gasol smiled at Kobe Bryant and said he didn't care, and then signaled with D'Antoni to replace him, which was really unguardable.

D'Antoni is also a little anxious, now that Whiteside is replaced, how to play in the second team? Getting used to the style of play for a season will have a big impact.

So, D'Antoni set his eyes on Thackeray, who was working on a new towel dance......

Thackeray felt a cold wind blowing, and turned his head just in time to see D'Antoni looking at him, and a bad premonition came over him......

Sure enough, D'Antoni signaled for a substitution at the referee's table, with No. 50 replacing No. 16......

Thackeray felt like he had been hit critically, but it was his turn to defend Howard!

Go to the execution ground, this is!

"Come on Robert, don't be afraid, kill him!" Bryant patted Thackeray on the back and said.

Hearing Kobe's encouragement, Thackeray actually didn't know why Kobe took care of him so much, he scratched his head and was ready to grab the board.

"No, no," Thackeray prayed silently in his heart.

As if Thackeray's prayers worked, Howard missed two free throws, and the Rockets, who were used to not making free throws, were ready to rush for rebounds.

Thackeray spread his arms and blocked the Rockets' short power forward Terrence Jones, Green also blocked Ariza, and Liu Ren picked up the rebound and passed to Jeremy Lin.

Jeremy Lin advanced to the frontcourt, and Thackerae pulled to the middle distance to stay away from Howard.

Although he doesn't know what the connection between weight and shooting is, Thackeray has been getting better and better at shooting since losing body fat in the summer, and he has a certain accuracy in the absence of defense.

Howard closed on the interior defense, and he didn't come out to defend Thackeray.

Howard spent a year with the Lakers and was teammates with Thackeray, who was a rookie who didn't know anything but power and tonnage and a positive attitude, with no offensive skills and poor rebounding, and it didn't look like he was going to stay in the NBA.

When Thackeray received a pass from Jeremy Lin in the middle range, Howard glanced at Thackeray and instead stared at Liu Ren and Bryant's runs, which he thought were a pivot and used his height vision to pass.

But Thackeray just threw like that, and went in.

Watching his two former teammates, Jeremy Lin and Thackeray, celebrate this mid-range shot there, Howard was a little stunned for a while, lucky?

Beverley's ball-handling offense scared the Rockets too much, and this time it became Harden who held the ball.

Knowing that his mid-range is a flaw, Harden's position to organize the offense this time is at the three-point line, Liu Ren did not dare to use the previous strategy of giving up a step to defend, but followed Harden closely.

Liu Ren knew Harden's three-point shooting rate as high as 37 percent in his career, and he got it as the main scorer.

In the opening game, Harden was very uncomfortable with Liu Ren's defense, because at the beginning of the season, as the season progressed, Harden's state gradually improved, and he was not so afraid of Liu Ren's suffocating defense.

Knowing that it was impossible for him to force Liu Ren in this position, Harden commanded Howard to come over and block the demolition.

Liu Ren made a choice as soon as possible, switched defenses with Thackeray, and followed Howard.

Sure enough, Harden's ball was passed to Howard, and unlike Beverley's lame pass, Harden's pass was fast and accurate, and when he saw Howard get the ball, Thackeray rushed in to wrap Howard.

At this time, Howard, who had just stepped into the three-second zone, suddenly opened up, and did not dribble in with the ball and dunk, but passed back to Harden, who was withdrawn from the three-point line.

Liu Ren secretly screamed badly, and immediately pounced on Harden with the ball like a cheetah, and the dangerous return defense was in place.

However, with a smile on his lips, Harden threw the ball to the left side of the basket, and Howard, who was the first to return to the basket, easily completed an empty dunk to score two points.

That's Harden's tactic!

Harden didn't plan to shoot himself at the beginning, but helped Howard empty the inside, pull out the big man Thackeray, and trick Liu Ren, who assisted in defense, to create an easy dunk opportunity for Howard.

Liu Ren planned to return one to the other party, but he hadn't scored in this game, and he didn't have any space to catch it, so he was preempted by the opponent!

The Rockets overtook the score again, and the game was quite intense from the start.

Offense and defense switch, Lakers offense.

seems to have some jealousy of Thackeray's mid-range shot, Howard followed, Beverley couldn't prevent Liu Ren at all, Liu Ren cut into the basket, Jeremy Lin's pass arrived, the ball arrived, Liu Ren jumped high, got the ball and pressed the ball into the basket with one hand.

Rocket offensive.

Harden and Howard block and pick-and-roll, Thackeray pulls Howard, and the defense is fouled.

The Rockets continued to attack, Thackeray didn't dare to make such a big move this time, so he could only choose to change defenses, but he couldn't keep up with Harden's footsteps and was cut into the interior by Harden.

After cutting into the inside line, Harden did not pass the ball, but immediately took that weird European step after seeing Liu Ren post the defense, the left-handed man playing the European step is really unguardable, Thackeray saw Harden jumping lightly, so he pounced on it to block, and Harden immediately made Thackeray shoot foul.

Just three minutes later, Thackeray picked up a second foul and was fouled by Harden.

D'Antoni expected that the Rockets would take advantage of the weakness of his interior from the beginning to attack the interior to make damage, but what he didn't expect was that Thackeray would commit two fouls so soon, so he would only play a little longer.

D'Antoni called a timeout, but fortunately he had already discussed the strategy with several team brains before the game.

"Drummond, you play center, the defensive end goes around the front to prevent Howard from receiving the ball easily on the inside, Jeremy, Jordan, you partner in the backcourt, Kobe Bryant, you go to the small forward position, we play more off-ball blocking and pick-and-roll......" D'Antoni said and took out the tactical board and began to draw a running diagram for Kobe, Jeremy Lin, Green, and Clarkson.

Liu Ren saw that 203's Green was playing center, or Howard, and prayed silently for him in his heart, but found that the coach seemed to have forgotten one thing: "Coach, what about me?" You haven't said what I'm supposed to do! ”

When D'Antoni heard Liu Ren's question, he sighed, and seemed to have just remembered Liu Ren: "If you go to a low position, no matter who is behind it, you will crash into it for me and deduct it, and if someone is wrapping it, just pass it on." ”

Liu Ren was randomly assigned a task, and D'Antoni continued to lecture the other four on tactics.

D'Antoni's arrangement for Liu Ren made him stunned, it's so simple?

Phew, no, it's D'Antoni's mustache that thinks this is too simple! What does it mean to knock the other party into it and deduct it, the opposite side is the inside line and we are just a handsome and handsome little forward!

Liu Ren suddenly remembered that the role that the coach had arranged for himself became more and more casual, from the beginning, how should you fight, how to cooperate to "boss, you go to break through and score, they let you shoot and shoot them to death".

And then "you go to pass the ball, let the inside score more, and then the pressure on the outside is less, and the mid-to-long range shooting has an easy shooting opportunity".

and then to the current "you go in and knock them out and dunk a basket", Liu Ren feels that this is too casual for our team's core future world No. 1 person!

"But...... It's still very emotional to knock the opponent into the inside dunk...... "Liu Ren remembered that in some games, when he was put in the low position to eat some small men, that feeling made people's blood boil when they thought about it......

But now that he is really facing the opponent's power forward, he is still a little nervous.

The Lakers' small lineup was rare before D'Antoni arrived, and previous coaches, whether Zen master or Mike Brown, liked to use a big man lineup, and the average height of just 2 or two meters like this has never happened.

Harden hit both free throws and deserved to be a good guy who could score 30 points on 2-of-9 shooting.

The Lakers attacked, adhered to the head coach's arrangement, and the first ball after returning from the timeout was Liu Ren's fall to the position to create pressure on the opponent's interior defense.

Liu Ren leaned on Terrance Jones in the low post to ask for the ball, at this time Kobe Bryant was in the bottom corner of Liu Ren's side, it was Ariza who defended him, Jeremy Lin held the ball at a 45-degree angle on the same side of Liu Ren, it was Harden who defended him, and Beverley followed Clarkson near the free throw line.

Jeremy Lin passed over, and then the Lakers started to run, Green first gave Jeremy Lin a no-ball screen, Clarkson slipped the bottom line around Jones and Liu Ren, and came to the bottom corner of Liu Ren's side to make a cover for Kobe, Kobe immediately mentioned the middle distance, Jeremy Lin came to the bottom corner of the side behind Liu Ren, and Green was outside the three-second zone on Jeremy Lin's side.

The one who defended Jeremy Lin became Beverley, the one who defended Kobe became Harden, and the one who followed Clarkson in the bottom corner became Ariza.

Liu Ren saw the reputation of this running position, and in general, it caused the misalignment and the uselessness of the opponent's defensive spearhead.

Kobe Bryant playing Harden is basically equal to misalignment, Harden's defense is notoriously poor, if Liu Ren feels that there is no chance to score, it is much easier for Kobe to single out Harden than to play Ariza.

Clarkson has been in the limelight lately, and has been called the biggest missing jewel of the '14 draft, holding Ariza at bay and Jeremy Lin pulling Beverley away.

The rest of the Lakers' running position created the perfect singles opportunity for Liu Ren.

Playing with a strong back and eating a big forward, Liu Ren felt a little excited in his heart!

Fans are also a little curious when they look at Liu Ren's posture of receiving the ball, what is this for? How can it be like a real young man like An, is it to play inside singles? They were very puzzled that Liu Ren had this skill? I haven't seen it!

Then, Liu Ren really leaned on Jones like an inside line and was ready to eat it!

"Is this going to hit in?" All those who saw Liu Ren's action showed puzzled expressions.

Jones thought to himself that his height of two meters and six was a little taller than the kid opposite, and he was much bigger than the other kid, so let the kid on the other side bump it.

That's right, Liu Ren's body looks even more slender than Kobe, but his bones are full of muscles! That explosiveness is something that even the Clippers' little Jordan is afraid of!

And so, Jones' hell has arrived!

Crash into the air! Liu Ren's huge wave-like impact hit Jones, and when he hit him, he directly knocked him into the air and retreated.

Liu Ren's impact was brutal and swift, and every time Jones was knocked off the ground and just fell down, he was knocked backwards! Three or four clicks knocked Jones into a reasonable collision zone!

Liu Ren turned around, ignored Jones with a frightened face, jumped up directly, rode Jones, and filled the frame with Liu Ren with both hands!

Overlord step!

"Oh, my, God......" Although the fans at the scene had known Liu Ren's toughness, they were also stunned this time, this scene was just the same as the monster of the Lakers more than ten years ago!

When Liu Ren made the movements, his brain was actually clouded, and he completed those actions completely subconsciously, because he was so excited!

When he reacted, the audience was overwhelmed with cheers!

Liu Ren immediately made the action of kissing his biceps......

Rocket offensive.

It seemed that he was blinded by Liu Ren, Jones was stunned in the offense, and Howard passed to him in the vacant position, and he was stunned in front of this excellent layup opportunity and missed the first shot.

When Jones reacted after a short distraction, and when he shot again, Liu Ren, who was originally assisting Howard, had already returned to the defensive position, saw the opportunity to slap the ball down, and smashed Jones and popped out of bounds.

Howard didn't say anything about it, he often dropped the ball.

Lakers Attack!

Howard took the initiative to defend Liu Ren and let Jones defend Green.

Don't look at Howard's usual giggling, he is actually a delicate person, his emotions are particularly easily affected, and he thinks more than others.

Sold by the Magic, that was the first time he felt lost after entering the league, he did so much for the Magic, 4 Defensive Player of the Year, a trip to the Finals, and the end result was a trade.

When it comes to the Lakers, they can't play the dominant power they once had because of a back injury, and there is a 34-year-old paranoid who can still impact the first person in the league.

Lakers fans don't value him so much, which hurts him a lot, and more importantly, Lakers management would rather choose a 35-year-old guy with a ruptured tendon as the core of the team than choose him, and he felt this lack of attention for the first time and chose to leave and come to the Rockets.

Seeing the Chinese guard he was defending and waiting for his teammates to run, Howard couldn't help but think about how good it would have been if he hadn't left the Lakers in the first place, but waited for this young man to rise? At that time, he had already seen Liu Ren's talent, but he didn't expect Liu Ren to progress to this extent.

Howard has to admit that Harden, who he thought was already the league's No. 1 scoring guard in the summer of '13, is no longer as good as the young Chinese small forward.

And Kobe Bryant has also changed, obviously different from before, and willingly plays a supporting role.

Howard couldn't help but sigh that during that negotiation, if Kobe Bryant was willing to be a spiritual leader like he is now, and was willing to be a supporting role on the court as he is now, he might have stayed.

He felt that there was still a possibility, maybe Kobe Bryant was ready to hand over the scepter slowly at that time, but that old-school thinking made Kobe Bryant so tough in expression.

At this point, there is no way to do it again, and even if Howard regrets it, he can't do anything but focus on the game and focus on the game in front of him.

Liu Renqiang has confidence after eating Jones once, and he has more confidence in himself, even if there is Howard behind him, he did not instigate, and continued the tactics arranged by D'Antoni, when his teammates ran out of position, Liu Ren leaned against Howard, observing the opponent's other defensive players, no one helped to defend, Liu Ren was ready to try to abuse the beast.

When grabbing rebounds before, Liu Ren and Howard grabbed a position, and found that Howard is to some extent, and now his physical fitness is not as good as Deandre Jordan.

The current Howard is better than Jordan Jr. in terms of defensive skills and ball intelligence.

Howard lowered his center of gravity and waited for the impact of the other party, Howard was different from others, he attached great importance to his opponent, he saw Jones being crushed like that, and he immediately saw that this was an absolute power suppression.

Although Howard worked hard, his weak lower body strength made his static strength not outstanding, and sure enough, Liu Ren tentatively knocked Howard back half a step in the first collision, and after feeling the strength of the other party, Liu Ren used all his strength, and Howard was hit by Liu Ren step by step under the basket!

Knocking Howard into a reasonable collision zone, Liu Ren picked up the ball with his right hand, turned around and exploded, and smashed the ball to the basket.

"Don't think!" Howard jumped to his feet and fanned the ball.

Liu Ren dodged Howard's block with a lever, and he was already riding on Howard, and he used Howard's forced jump force to dunk him into the basket! Flat frame riding buckle!

The referee's whistle blows! The goal is a valid penalty!

Howard finally felt why Jones lost his mind, as being crushed by a small forward in terms of strength, this is not a shame to describe, this is simply a mental blow!

The fans cheered again, louder than the previous dunk Jones, because it was Howard who was ridden!

Enjoying the cheers of the fans, this feeling made Liu Ren enjoy it very much.

Liu Ren hit a free throw, and the Lakers led by 3 points!

The Rockets attacked, seeing Howard recover from his distraction so quickly, Liu Ren couldn't help but sigh that he deserved to be a superstar guy, and he could still play such a good performance after so many doubts and criticisms.

Howard was humiliated like this time and was able to return to the game so quickly, and Liu Ren's evaluation of Howard was one point higher.

Liu Ren forgot one thing, Howard had already suffered this kind of thing in '04, when he had just been elected to the NBA and was in the midst of his self-confidence to conquer the league, when he suffered an even more brutal blow.

At that time, Howard was just stepping into the starting point of becoming the No. 1 center, and was dunked by the league's first man in the league in a game against the Lakers, which left a shadow that I remembered from time to time until I played in the Finals in '09.

Howard already had that experience, which is why he recovered so quickly this time.

Howard singles, Green can't prevent it alone, Howard's current singles are still at the peak of six or seven percent, Green is still a little tender, the assistant defense is already the top in the league, and the single defense center is still a little worse, Liu Ren saw this and let go of Jones and wrapped Howard with Green.

In fact, Howard's playing style has always been very selfless, he didn't have any ball at all during the Magic period, if it weren't for the fact that he wanted to prove that he could play alone in recent years, he wouldn't have dropped so much, he just wanted to prove himself.

This time he saw that Jones was empty, and immediately passed it over.

To Howard's relief, Jones didn't get distracted this time, and reacted quickly when he got the ball, jumping up and smashing it to the basket.

But it seems that once the tragedy begins, it is like eating some kind of chewing gum, and it simply cannot be stopped!

Liu Ren turned around on the spot and burst out, and directly picked up the ball that Jones was about to dunk into the basket!

That's right, it's a pick! Jones didn't jump very high, and his elbows didn't go past the basket, but Liu Ren's line of sight was almost parallel to the bottom edge of the rebound! Liu Ren grabbed the ball in Jones's hand and slammed it to the right and grabbed it directly! Jones loses his balance and falls to the ground!

Flat frame grab hat!

Looking at Jones's expression of disbelief, Liu Ren felt very happy, held the ball in one hand, took a long breath, and then threw the ball to Jeremy Lin.

Jeremy Lin received Liu Ren's pass, glanced at it, and saw that Clarkson was already getting down, and reached out to ask for the ball while running.

Jeremy Lin spotted Clarkson's running path and made a beautiful long pass, and Clarkson comfortably received the ball and made an easy layup.

12 to 7.

McHale's old face was more like a bitter melon, as if he had never smiled.

Harden can't stand it, these tactics laid out by McHale rarely can glue the whole team together, and they are all relying on the individual ability of the stars to win.

As soon as the ball was released, Harden reached out for the ball, and he was ready to come himself!

Harden faced Clarkson, and the play was much simpler, with a few crotch dribbles and a strong burst directly from Clarkson's left side.

Clarkson followed in time to block Harden's path.

Harden stepped back from outside the three-point line at this time, and Clarkson was getting old and could only watch Harden shoot.

The three-pointer was crushed.

Harden relied on his individual ability to stop the decline.

On the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant received a pass from Liu Ren after being surrounded by Harden and Howard, and shot from a long distance, but unfortunately it didn't go in, and Howard protected the rebound.

Howard was moved to tears, the first defensive rebound of the game.

The Rockets attacked, and Harden continued to single Clarkson, and he shook off Clarkson's defense in the same way, made a three-point shot, and did not score.

Green stuck Howard like a hug, the referee didn't give a foul, Liu Ren easily picked up the rebound and counterattacked!

Jeremy Lin saw that Liu Ren grabbed the rebound and immediately ran to the opponent's basket, Liu Ren threw the ball to the front court when he saw this, and Jeremy Lin rarely completed the fast break with a dunk.

14-10, the Lakers continue to maintain the lead!

McHale finally couldn't take it anymore and called a timeout.
