super small forward

Chapter 655

Chapter 655 655. Such a Rhythm

The Clippers are indeed still difficult to deal with. After letting go of the pressure of dominating Los Angeles that Rivers said, they became very unrestrained when they played against the Lakers. Before facing the Lakers, their heads were full of what Rivers said. , For example, the Lakers have bullied us for so many years and want revenge; we want to grab the title of the strongest team in Los Angeles... and other stressful things.

But now the boss Ballmer, the rich man, said, let's move and don't compete with the Lakers. They have been here since 1960. Why should we compete with them.

Now that there is no pressure and frustration of having to win the Lakers and not being able to win, they seem to have changed a team instead.

Although they collapsed the defensive structure built by the former Negro coach because of the wrong decision of the president of operations Rivers at the small forward position, the offensive end is indeed stronger, and they started a shopping battle with the Lakers.

At the end of the half, the two teams were still playing equally, and the Lakers obviously did not expect that the Clippers would actually play better than before when the home court was "occupied" by the opponent's fans. Also behind the Clippers by 4 points, temporarily behind 61 to 65!

This is very unexpected. You must know that after the formation of the new lineup of the Lakers in the 13-14 season, the Clippers have won two games in two years, one in the regular season and one in the playoffs. All the time was completely abused by them.

Intermission, visiting locker room at Staples Center.

D'Antoni is very anxious, he has done a good job and played the offense very well.

Bickerstaff also frowned, not because his defensive system was bad, but because Paul's existence was a bug. The fast attack is simply terrible, and it can't be defended at all.

Only allowed the Clippers to score 65 points in the half, which was achieved by Bickerstaff's constant request to suppress the rhythm, otherwise the Clippers would directly score more than 70 points.

However, lowering the rhythm has restricted the Lakers' offense to a certain extent, obviously their offense should be better.

"Brother Blacksmith, I always felt something was weird in the first half." Liu Ren said doubtfully. He didn't feel comfortable playing in the first half, although he still scored 12 points, 3 rebounds and 3 Assists, using his own restraint to create a lot of opportunities for his teammates, but I always feel that the game is not going well.

Kobe was also very puzzled, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he could only shrug helplessly.

Volute, a cunning and experienced guy like an old fox, doesn't know why?Liu Ren can only think hard for himself...

……

When the second half was about to start, D'Antoni continued to arrange offense and defense according to the tactics discussed with Bickerstaff: "We must control the rhythm well, we can't let the Clippers run, and we can't let them switch offense and defense... "

Liu Ren, who had been thinking hard for more than ten minutes, heard D'Antoni's words and a lightning flashed across his head...

Liu Ren finally realized that something was wrong, there was no transition between offense and defense!

The plan of D'Antoni and Bickerstaff is to slow down the tempo and contain the strongest point of the Clippers' offense, that is, the conversion of offense and defense, but at the same time they also contain themselves, and today the Clippers played a positional offensive smoothly Incomparably, the Lakers couldn't defend at all. Basically, they didn't do anything. Instead, the Lakers themselves lost their good fast play, and at the same time, their offensive position was not as good as today's Clippers.

In fact, not only Liu Ren felt uncomfortable playing on the Lakers team, but everyone else was also the same, but they were not as sensitive as Liu Ren, and they also scored goals all the time, and their shooting percentage was not bad. Most players judge whether their offense is good or not mainly depends on whether they have a shot, and whether they can shoot accurately after getting a shot. If they are satisfied with both, they will never think that their offense is actually not comfortable today.

But Liu Ren has always been a data maniac, especially when it comes to scoring. If there is something wrong, he will soon feel uncomfortable.

At the end of the intermission, Liu Ren hadn't had time to discuss with D'Antoni, because he didn't know how to organize the language. The game had restarted, and he could only play.

The two sides returned to the court, and the Lakers took the lead.

In the third quarter, D'Antoni sent LaVine, Nick Young, Liu Ren, Antetokounmpo, and Monroe.

Rivers saw that the team played very well offensively, the tactics were played out, and the players felt very good, so he decisively replaced his son Austin Rivers.

When the team's rhythm is excellent, when will you not give your own son a chance to perform!

The Clippers lineup is Rivers Jr., Crawford, Jeff Green, Wesley Johnson, Cole Aldridge.

Rivers sent this lineup to make it clear that he knew he couldn't defend, so he simply didn't play the defensive players, and "junior brother" Lance Stephenson was directly pressed on the bench.

Back on the field, the first thing Liu Ren has to do is to follow his own ideas.

As for D'Antoni's orders... Isn't there a saying in ancient China that generals are not allowed to accept military orders abroad. Since the tactical literacy is not enough and I can't explain why, then use practical actions to make up for it!

After Liu Ren came on the court, he ran straight up, asking for the ball from LaVine while running, and then made a gesture of running and booming.

LaVine was taken aback for a moment, the coach agreed to play a position!Did my ears hear me wrong?its not right!The running positions drawn on the tactical board are all landing positions!Because D'Antoni would not know how to draw tactics if he played running and bombing. D'Antoni's running and bombing is just like Zen Master's triangle offense. Only one George Karl stood up, and the others, even the old Nelson who invented the bombardment, couldn't stand up.

So, after an instant brainstorm, that is, less than half a second after Liu Ren asked for the ball, LaVine directly passed the ball to Liu Ren, and then directly made a running gesture with the power of a point guard, that is, the commander on the field. .

The Lakers acted immediately, and Liu Ren advanced quickly with the ball, knocking away his former teammate Wesley Johnson and entering the inside of the Clippers.

At this time, the rest of the Lakers only went directly to the Clippers half of the court because they were big centers. Monroe and Liu Ren reached the frontcourt first. Nick Young and LaVine received the serve in the backcourt. Antetokounmpo It's the one that serves.

Ever since, the Clippers were in disarray, the five of them had settled into defensive positions, and Liu Ren actually wanted to play 2 against 5?

The Clippers shrunk subconsciously and moved towards Liu Ren and Monroe.

At this time, Liu Ren threw the ball to the top arc, and D'Antoni was dumbfounded on the sidelines, and directly scored a three-pointer!

"Swish"

hit!

Nick Young is indescribably refreshing!They are all points, but this goal feels more comfortable than the first three goals scored today!

Liu Ren also felt very good. Although he failed to score this time, he still only got an assist, but this kind of assist broke the unnatural feeling in his heart, which was even better than scoring in the first half!
