Liu Ren suddenly said something, which made Paul George puzzled.
"Look, you only earn more than 200 million a year, and that stupid big guy who can't grab rebounds can earn more than 1000 million a year."
"And you can't shoot at will, you can only be a role player who shoots three-pointers, I really feel unworthy for you."
Liu Ren was looking for a rhythm while talking. At this time, he just found that very comfortable rhythm, picked up the ball and ignored Paul George in front of him and shot a three-pointer!
One-on-one singles for three points!
This style of play that relies purely on personal ability is what Liu Ren learned from Kobe.
In addition to trusting your own feel when shooting this kind of ball, you also need to practice hard at ordinary times, read the opponent's defensive moves, and try to find better timing and angles for shooting.
Although Paul George interfered with Liu Ren at the first time, because he didn't dare to stick too close to fear of being broken when defending Liu Ren alone, it feels very good that Liu Ren took so long to adjust his shooting.
The flying ball slid across a beautiful arc and plunged into the basket.
"Look, look, this kind of shooting should be what players like us should do." Liu Ren said while returning to defense.
Paul George didn't say anything, and ran to the frontcourt and continued to run to the bottom corner to open up space.
"Very firm!" Although Liu Ren knew that a few words of rubbish would hardly sway a steadfast guy like Paul George, but the other party didn't respond at all, and he still felt a little regretful.
George Hill dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, still as strong as before Nash, ready to continue to add assists to himself.
He has already got 10 assists in a single quarter, and George Hill is about to break his personal assist record. His previous highest number of assists in a single game was 11 times, which he got with the Spurs.
But this time after George Hill broke through to the inside, he found that the opponent's defense had changed significantly. Only Whiteside stood up a little bit, and the others continued to defend their defenders and did not continue to shrink!
George Hill stopped the ball in one step inside the free throw line in astonishment!He originally planned to pass the ball, but the Lakers suddenly defended, and he didn't react immediately, so he stopped inside the free throw line.
With Whiteside, a big man with such a large defensive area, the Lakers of course have to defend, and use all their advantages.
Now the big man inside the Pacers is Mahinmi. Although he has a good defense, his offensive end is worse than Hibbert.
Hibbert was replaced by the Lakers and the Lakers were foolish to shrink the inside line. Whiteside stood up to defend and could go back to take care of Mahinmi at any time. The entire three-second zone was covered by Whiteside's blocking range.
George Hill took a quick look at his teammates. Stephenson was running with Kobe. Kobe is still fast and can keep up.
Paul George is a spot-up shooter with mediocre running ability. He is not as good as he was in the 15-16 season in Liu Ren's impression. In other words, Paul George still can't run. The next three-point practice came out, but the running position is an item that he and the team star agreed to practice together in the next offseason.
Scola is entangled by Antetokounmpo. Scola's physical fitness is very average, which can be described as poor. Antetokounmpo just keeps in front of him and prevents him from cutting into the inside.
As for Mahinmi, apart from lobs and unguarded dunks inside, he has no other means of attack. He will only rely on defense and rebounds to get a 6000 million contract in the future. It is still the one in Liu Ren's memory. Signed when the super salary increase wave started from 2015 to 2016.
So George Hill opted out of the free throw line to reorganize.
Paul George saw George Hill back from the free throw line and immediately went to ask for the ball.
Liu Ren's words didn't have much influence on him, but Paul George still felt underestimated. He thought Liu Ren's words were a satire that he didn't have any power as a star.
Although Paul George knew that Liu Ren was talking trash, and he had heard a lot of garbage talking from Garnett and Kobe, but no one talked trash like Liu Ren.
A little bit of influence is still an influence, and not too much influence is still affected after all.
Paul George feels that this time George Hill should give him the ball to the best player on the team without tactics. After all, he is already the second most popular superstar in the Eastern Conference All-Star forward this year.
But George Hill glanced at Paul George, chose to attack by himself, rushed inside again, and made a quick stop and jump shot inside the free throw line before the 24-second countdown sounded!
"Snapped"
Antetokounmpo made up his defense and blocked George Hill's shot, and the 24-second whistle sounded!
Liu Ren was very curious, where did George Hill get his confidence?How dare he make an emergency stop and jump shot in the no-fly zone formed by him, Antetokounmpo and Whiteside?
Liu Ren, Whiteside, and Antetokounmpo are the three best defensive players on the Lakers, and their frontcourt combination is also the only defensive combination the Lakers can handle.
But the surprise was the surprise, but Liu Ren was overjoyed.
George Hill made Liu Ren's strategy a step forward.
The Lakers had the ball, and Nash shipped it to the frontcourt.
This time, Paul George was a lot tighter on Liu Ren's defense. His plan was that if Liu Ren got rid of him and entered the inside, the Pacers' inside defense would be able to stop it.
The Pacers' shrinking defense is much better than the Lakers' mindless shrinking. Their defensive rotation is very good and they have a very complete defensive system.
Nash saw that the opponent paid more attention to Liu Ren's defense this time. Mahinmi and Scola on the inside tended to shrink their defense at any time. Instead of passing the ball to Liu Ren, Nash gestured for Antetokounmpo to come up for a pick-and-roll .
Antetokounmpo came out to block George Hill, Nash took advantage of the situation and passed it to Antetokounmpo, and Antetokounmpo took the ball in the high post.
Nash, who entered the interior, ran to block Stephenson who was following Kobe, and Kobe ran back into the interior.
Antetokounmpo took the ball at the first time, and Kobe just received the ball when he entered the three-second zone. Whiteside, who grasped the timing, just used his strong body to catch the ball when Kobe just rushed into the inside to catch the ball. Get out of the way!
After Kobe received the ball, he took advantage of the trend and succeeded in a light dunk with one hand.
The offensive end of the Lakers is still leveraged. Even if Whiteside did not block Mahinmi in time, according to Kobe's ability to pass the ball inside, he can easily pass the ball to Whiteside.
However, Liu Ren, who was always ready to hit the rebound, was sure that Kobe would never pass the ball. If Whiteside hadn't blocked Mahinmi, Kobe would have forced a shot against the opponent. Anyway, someone was grabbing the rebound.
Keep on spraying!
Liu Ren followed Paul George back to the defense and said: "Look, everyone is involved in our offense, and your offense is only the open space with one person holding the ball. Why don't you come to our team? After Kobe retires in two years, the ball will belong to you."
