Super Small Forward

Kobe used Gasol's pick and roll and Jeremy Lin's pass to cut to the basket and miss the shot, but Kobe didn't look frustrated, because he saw No. 1 in the same jersey as he followed behind him.

If Gasol is the defensive pillar behind Liu Ren, then Liu Ren is Kobe's most trusted offensive person.

Just as Kobe expected, Liu Ren grabbed offensive rebounds and made direct dunks.

Kobe is very familiar with and missed this kind of follow-up play. When he was partnered with O'Neill, Odom, and Gasol, this kind of ball was simply commonplace.

It's just that at that time, the hottest player who entered the violent chaos was Kobe, and now he has become someone else.

Kobe played hard for more than half a quarter, his physical strength began to decline, and he began to hit the iron continuously. When there were 2 minutes left in the first quarter, he was replaced with Nick Young, followed by Jeremy Lin and McCollum. . Nick Young continued to fight for Kobe's position. At this time, Liu Ren began to show off. With Gasol and Green as blue-collar players to help the card, Liu Ren seemed to be flying in the air.

6 of 9 in the first quarter, two free throws scored 14 points and 7 rebounds, Liu Ren dominated the offensive end.

Kobe Bryant scored 11 points on 4 of 7 and Duncan played a full quarter. He shot 7 of 9 shots and 4 of 6 free throws. He scored 18 points. Both performed very well.

Parker and Ginobili, who came on the bench, also performed very well in the other two troikas. Parker allowed Duncan to catch the ball in the most comfortable position. Ginobili helped to open up the space, and after the opportunity appeared. Not soft, hit a three-pointer.

The score of the two sides was tight, 33 to 32, the Lakers led the Spurs by 1 point.

Tim Duncan deserves to be Tim Duncan. During the break, Liu Ren looked at the statistics on the big screen and thought this was really an old monster.

But Liu Ren laughed at once. Doesn’t his team still have an old monster? Liu Ren looks at the one in his team that is already the 19th year of his career and has experienced injuries enough to retire other players. , But now the scoring average is still in the top ten in the league, averaging 24.1 points per game.

Because Liu Ren was pitted by the sun for two games, Kobe continued to take on the scoring responsibility of those two games. Now he averaged the second place on the team, second only to Liu Ren.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Kobe continued to start, and Nick Yang was put on the bench again with a depressed look. He also wanted to show his face on the national live broadcast, but could only watch McCollum partner Kobe on the court.

As the game continued, Liu Ren had already been stimulated with a strong desire to score. He didn't want Kobe and Duncan to take the limelight.

But Liu Ren felt a punch to the cotton. The players on the Spurs were Patty Mills, Danny Green, Leonard, Boris Dior, Splitter.

The Spurs’ troikas were all sitting on the bench and never played!

Leonard's defense seemed so pale in front of Liu Ren, and Kobe also began to be willful. He had already done a full fire and confronted Duncan, but Duncan could not get up on the bench!

Not only that, even Ginobili, the shooting guard who has caused him the most trouble for many years, only played for less than 4 minutes and left.

In the second half of the second quarter, Duncan has not played, Kobe is angry, and no one can stop him. Even Leonard won't have much effect, let alone Danny Green, who was sifted by Kobe.

Kobe and Liu Ren are inside and outside, as if they were in the land of no one.

Leonard has indeed improved a lot this year. His shots, breakthroughs, and passes have improved significantly. Leonard's offensive ability is close to top-notch. Although Liu Ren can't be guarded, his offensive end is very popular under the Spurs system.

From the beginning, Popovich’s plan for Leonard’s development was not as a core, but as a functional player. What Popovich expects is Leonard to become a defensively enhanced version of Ginobili.

Popovich didn’t expect Leonard to improve so fast at the beginning. He built the team with Duncan as the core from the beginning to the end. His plan for the future was to find a way to get Gasol, Aldridge, and Poland. One of Shi and others, then used the big man, Leonard, and Parker as the core lineup to form a new troika.

Seeing Leonard, who has gradually been able to drive the team on the offensive end like Ginobili, Popovich feels very pleased that he can train a top player on a championship team, and now these coaches also Popovich and D'Antoni can do it.

In the past few years, Popovich did everything possible to help Duncan win the championship, and then plan for the future of the team. Gasol was part of his plan, but Gasol unexpectedly renewed his contract early. 5 years! Then Bosh didn't even look at them. Aldridge reportedly had some rumors with the Lakers.

Popovich's plan fell apart.

In particular, the Lakers also signed Whiteside with a basic salary for such an outstanding big man. Seeing Whiteside bullying his own insiders with a playful expression, Popovich can only lament that people are more popular than dead!

Leonard played very well, leading his teammates to resist the Lakers' onslaught, but the gap in overall strength cannot be made up with hard work. The Spurs are no longer the Spurs of last season.

As the Spurs' long-time suffering, Kobe may know Popovich’s defensive system better than the Spurs on the court. Unlike Paul and James who hesitated on the perimeter, Kobe shot decisively and firmly. No rest in the second quarter, crazy shots, trying to arouse Duncan to play.

It's a pity that Duncan didn't play again during the intermission.

He took 23 halftime shots, 12 of which were 12 free throws, 7 of 12 free throws. After Duncan and himself were so angry that he was not playing on the bench after a period, Kobe went crazy and took 16 crazy shots in the second quarter. .

With 35 points in the half, Kobe didn't play in the second half.

The offensive end of the Spurs without a troika can barely support, but the defense has dropped by more than one grade, and Duncan's role is not something others can fill.

At the end of the half, the Lakers had a 71 to 55 lead.

Kobe and Liu Ren are very depressed~www.readwn.com~ No matter how Kobe shoots from the outside, how Liu Ren bullies the Spurs on the inside to grab a rebound and rages on the basket, the Spurs have no intention of changing into a troika.

The Spurs still used the second team to deal with the Lakers in the second half, and Liu Ren didn't have any pressure on that team.

In the second half, Liu Ren broke out. With 18 points in the third quarter, the difference was opened to 25 points in one fell swoop. The fourth quarter became garbage time.

When Kobe went crazy, Liu Ren's shot rights naturally decreased.

However, Liu Ren is already very powerful on the offensive end. He can complete two offenses by grabbing offensive rebounds and scored 9 points in the second quarter.

Liu Ren scored 41 points and 13 rebounds. The Lakers beat the Spurs 120 to 105, winning nine straight!

Liu Ren felt that Kobe's scoring average of 24.1 points per game ranked in the top ten this season, which is simply the performance of the old monster. In fact, he didn't pay attention. Kobe's shots per game this season are more like an old monster, averaging 22 shots per game.

This is also the reason why the Lakers are becoming more and more optimistic about the outside world. With Kobe as the shooting king, Liu Ren can still become the Lakers' scoring leader. The average points per game have increased to 27.2 without affecting the team's offensive operation. Liu Ren occupied The number of regular attacks is only 14 or 15 per game, a reasonable second-in-charge attack opportunity, and the rest are the second attack opportunities that he grabs! Some are directly grabbing offensive rebounds, some are transferring the ball to teammates and then passing it back in. Sometimes it is to help teammates get the offensive rebounds for the inside lane.

The team won, everyone was very happy, even Kobe and Liu Ren were no longer depressed, no matter what the process is, people will only remember the winner.

After three consecutive 40+ games, Liu Ren himself has not had much reaction, but the basketball fans have gone crazy!
