Chapter 155 155. Big Score Lead
Facing this naked ridicule, how could Paul George bear it!
"George, give me the ball!" Paul George asked George Hill for the ball directly at the top arc after he came to the frontcourt.
George Hill had no choice but to pass it on.
Although George Hill knew that Paul George's attack with the ball was very unreliable, but Paul George is the main star of the team, and he must give the ball if he wants it.
Got it!Liu Ren is to Paul - George singles!
Not to mention the current Paul George, even the one who really became a superstar in the 15-16 season, his offense with the ball is not top-notch, it can only be said to be not bad. Durant before the season was similar, he could only shoot three-pointers when he got the ball from the outside.
Liu Ren posted it immediately, giving Paul George physical contact and not giving the opponent an easy shot.
Paul George wanted to make a breakthrough, but Liu Ren had better speed, strength, and flexibility than him, and he could get stuck on his breakthrough route if he was close to him.
Playing for a long time in the Pacers, a team that plays team basketball, Paul George's first reaction was to pass the ball, but seeing Liu Ren's "provocative" defense that he knew he would pass the ball , he was inexplicably upset, and directly made a three-pointer!
Liu Ren immediately jumped up high and stretched out his long arms towards Paul George to block the shot.
"Depend on!"
Paul George, who was in the air, had a feeling that he was about to be blocked by the opponent, so he could only lean back and shoot!
The ball is too wide!It bounced off the right side of the basket with a bang!
Whiteside beat Mahinmi to get a defensive rebound.
The Lakers fight back!
Liu Ren, Kobe, and Antetokounmpo hurry up!
Don't look at Antetokounmpo's [-]-meter footstep frequency, but each step is very big. On the Pacers side, Paul George, who knew he would not go in at the first time, and Stephenson, who returned to defense at the first time, were all alone. Can't catch up!George Hill is not as fast as Antetokounmpo!
The Lakers went three-on-two in the frontcourt!
Nash passed the ball to Antetokounmpo. He didn't stop the ball and threw it directly to the basket. Liu Renkong dunked the ball and pushed the ball into the basket.
Continue to stimulate each other!
Liu Ren followed up with Paul George who was back on defense and said while running, "Your offense sucks! I don't think your point guard will give you the ball anymore. He must think you can't make shots."
Paul George was short of breath and continued to ask for the ball after seeing George Hill dribbled the ball through half court.
This time George Hill waved his hand and asked Paul George to go to the corner and wait for an opportunity.
The helpless Paul George could only return to the bottom corner.
"Look, I just said that he won't give you the ball, it's really not worth it for you." Liu Ren continued to murmur.
In the next few rounds, Liu Ren only focused on defending Paul George. No matter whether he was waiting in the corner to open up space or to run off the ball in pick-and-rolls, Liu Ren followed him all the time. .
Although the Pacers had a good offensive success rate, Paul George knew that the first quarter was almost over and they still didn't score a point.
On the offensive end, the Lakers have always maintained a fast offensive style of play, counterattacking regardless of whether the opponent enters or not.
Although the Lakers have not widened their lead, they are slowly following Liu Ren's plan.
Halfway through the second quarter, the point difference was still 6 points, and the Lakers led 57 to 51.
The Pacers team with excellent form and feel can't defend the Lakers, and the Lakers can't do anything about the brainless and fast offensive Pacers.
Paul George, who was finally provoked by Liu Ren, couldn't bear it anymore, and began to doubt whether what Liu Ren said was true!
Because whether it is George Hill, or Stephenson, or Watson who came off the bench, seeing that Liu Ren was defending him, he never gave the ball to him, even when he ran out of the open shot and was caught up by Liu Ren After defending two missed shots, he didn't give him the ball very much when he was open.
"Give me the ball!" Paul George asked for the ball directly again, this time he came directly to the center line to ask for the ball.
Stephenson, who was in control of the ball and was about to continue to organize the offense, could only pass the ball.
Paul George's singles is a disaster for the Pacers' offense!An above-average defense can deflate him, let alone Liu Ren?
After playing more than 40 games, Liu Ren's defensive ability is getting better and better. Defense mainly depends on attitude and physical talent. The rest is experience. Now Liu Ren has more and more experience in defending the top perimeter. Paul George It's like playing.
Paul George missed a single and was counterattacked by the Lakers.
The more he misses, the more Paul George feels underestimated by the other party, especially Liu Ren's surprised eyes and sympathetic words from his mouth make him even more unhappy.
If you can't make a shot, you continue to ask for the ball. If you want the ball, you still can't make it. The more you can't make a shot, the more Paul George wants to play singles.
The second half of the second quarter was dark for the Pacers. Paul George, who had only made four outside shots in the previous quarter and a half and missed all of them, had an average hand, and he had to single Liu Ren forcibly. He made only one of nine shots and only scored two points in the half.
The Lakers suddenly showed their power in the second half of the second quarter, taking advantage of the opportunity of Paul George to hit a wave of 19 to 5!
At halftime, the Lakers led 76 to 56 by 20 points!
This is the only way Liu Ren came up with to deal with the Pacers, which is to stir up the superstar's stubborn temper in Paul George's heart!
Most of the rest of the Pacers are former frustrated players. Even if they played very well this year, they all clearly remember what they should and cannot do, so that the Pacers can maintain a good state until the long break of the All-Stars.
There is no way to start with other players.
Only Paul George, a player who hasn't experienced too many setbacks, is the Pacers' only weakness right now.
When Paul George first entered the league, Granger led him to play. In the second year, he took the starting shooting guard position and helped the team reach the playoffs. In the third year, some people said that he was an All-Star. He played seven games against the Heat in the playoffs, and became the second most popular player in the Eastern Conference this year. The number of All-Star votes is second only to James in the Eastern Conference.
In Liu Ren's view, such Paul George possesses an indescribable arrogance.
Paul George's arrogance is the key to making him a superstar later, so that he will not fall like Hibbert after experiencing the big decline after the All-Star Game this season. Hibbert lost his state after the All-Star Game Summer has gone, he was abused continuously, and then he lost his self-confidence after being abused. Paul George, who has a strong arrogance, was not defeated. Instead, he learned a lesson from it. state.
But this kind of arrogance is also his weakness under the circumstances that his current skills are not enough.
Now Paul George is already a superstar, but there are many things that make him envious.
For example, Liu Ren's right to fire freely, Hibbert's annual salary of tens of millions, George Hill's possession of the ball...
