Chapter 192 192. Your Name Is the Greatest Weakness

Liu Ren didn't expect that he almost caused a "Sleepwell" incident when he dealt with Barnes, what a crime.

Liu Ren made one of two free throws. He was a little annoyed. Compared with his 50.00% field goal percentage, the free throw percentage was only 60.00%.

The Lakers are one point behind 6 to 7, and the Clippers have the ball.

Paul holds the ball, and now he has some headaches. Although Barnes is not very good, he is very accurate in open shots. During the 50.00-game winning streak, his three-point shooting rate reached 4%. Two, he can contribute [-] three-pointers per game , It opened up the team's space very well, this Dudley is far behind.

Dudley was once a rookie selected by the Bobcats. He was traded to the Suns in the second season and became Nash's younger brother. He played the best performance of his career in the years around Nash. By 11 points, his three-point shooting percentage reached 40.00% three-pointers that year, a proper performance of a top shooter.

In the summer of 2012, the Suns traded away Nash to start rebuilding, and Dudley was also released. The Clippers gave him a 5-year mid-level contract. The lean, athletic small forward has turned into a chunky forward, and his body is almost becoming Dior, and his touch has long been thrown into the Pacific Ocean next to Los Angeles.

However, there are still some advantages to gaining weight. Dudley's average rebounds per game have increased from about two during the Suns period to four, and there is a feeling of shifting to the power forward position.

But the Clippers don't need this kind of fat power forward at all. There is a fatter named Glenn David, who was traded from the Magic for draft rights by Rivers in order to completely copy the Celtics lineup. s.

In addition, there are several power forwards like Turkoglu and Jamison who took good care of Liu Ren who failed to hold his thighs with the Lakers last season. Want the lean guy who can shoot and dunk to open the floor for Nash.

No, Barnes was replaced by Dudley, and Kobe shrank into the inside, two meters away from Dudley, walking around on the edge of the three-second zone, but did not guard against Dudley's outside shots, as if he was afraid of getting fat sick.

Even so, Paul didn't dare to pass it to Dudley. Dudley made only 20.00% of his three-pointers this year, which is even worse than last season's 30.00%.

Based on the principle of making the best use of everything, Paul beckoned Dudley to pick and roll. Not to mention, Dudley, who has grown from more than 90 kilograms to 110 kilograms, is as solid as a weight, blocking Liu Ren who is defending Paul. Created a breakthrough time of more than half a second.

Paul broke through to the inside, and Kobe defended him immediately.

If it was Kobe's defense three years ago, Paul might pass the ball, but at this time, his mid-range power was shown, and he hit a fadeaway jumper against Kobe's defense.

Now Paul's mid-range shooting ability in the league is undoubtedly the first among point guards, even Westbrook and Irving can't match it.

Paul is not only an organizer, but also has excellent scoring ability. He once had an excellent performance of 22.8 points per game in a single season. He also got 11 assists and 5.5 rebounds in that season. He was still at the end of his rookie contract that year. In one year, he established the title of the league's first point guard.

Now that the Clippers lineup has obvious flaws, Paul began to use his scoring ability to attack opponents, intending to double-team the Lakers in order to offset the loss of a pitcher who opened up space.

The Lakers attacked and defended Liu Ren from Barnes to Redick. The Clippers also had no choice. Liu Ren passed with one acceleration, so he could only use Redick, whose speed could keep up with Liu Ren, to defend.

Kobe was not greedy for the chance to play against Paul, and gave the ball to Liu Ren for singles according to the pre-match plan.

Liu Ren caught the ball from beyond the three-point line and faced Redick with an evil smile: "JJ, do you know that your name is very interesting in our country."

Redick said in his heart that if I don't listen, I won't listen. Liu Ren's trash talk is already well-known in the league.

Liu Ren continued: "There is something called martial arts in our country. The real martial arts is to attack the fatal point of the opponent, and your name is the deadliest part of a person. So, are you ready to feel fear?"

Martial arts?Achilles' heel?fear?A series of question marks popped up in Redick's mind.

Without giving Redick time to think about it, he saw Liu Ren started dribbling the ball, and hurriedly took small steps to block the opponent's breakthrough at any time.

Liu Ren moved, and took a step horizontally to the right, directly rushing to the inside line.

Half of Redick relies on his speed. Without speed, he can't run out of the shooting space. He caught up with Liu Ren and stood in front of Liu Ren at the first time.

At the moment when Redick and Liu Ren's body came into contact, he felt as if he was hit by a Mercedes-Benz sports car. His right chest collided with Liu Ren's left chest, and he suddenly felt suffocated. It was as if the entire chest cavity had been cracked.

Then Redick felt like he was flying!

Before the moment when Liu Ren and Redick collided together, he picked up the ball and took three big steps, with Redick's two-step kill directly on his body to the three-second zone's iconic hitting the board and throwing the shot.

The referee was stunned, the whistle sounded a second late, Redick blocked the foul, and the ball hit the backboard and fell into the basket when the whistle sounded.

The bottom line referee saw very clearly that Redick was still moving at the moment when the two touched each other, and he was moving to block Liu Ren's breakthrough route. Before we got together, Liu Ren had already made a three-step layup.

If the goal is valid, a penalty will be added!

Redick flew out of the bottom line due to inertia after Liu Ren hit the board and threw it. He didn't get up for a long time. The Clippers' bench panicked, and the team doctor hurried up to check.

As a result, the game was interrupted for dozens of seconds. Redick was fine, but was blinded by the bump. The team doctor rubbed his red chest, seeing that he was fine, and said that he could continue to participate in the game. With a sigh of relief, Barnes has been lost, and it would be really bad if Redick gets injured.

Although Redick was not injured by this, he felt a feeling of death. He really felt like he was hit by a car, and he seemed to have no way to breathe for a moment.

Redick watched Liu Ren walk to the free throw line with horrified eyes. Now he understood the meaning of Liu Ren's last words, and he had only one thought in his mind: This Chinese player is definitely the most terrifying outside line in NBA history!
