Chapter 664. Chapter 664.
The Lakers were already prepared to abuse the Cavaliers when James was away, because Irving led the team alone, and the Lakers were never afraid. Every time Irving met the Lakers, he played poorly. This is what everyone is used to. things.
But I didn't expect that after David Blatt called two timeouts in a row, Irving started to run away inexplicably.
Moreover, Owen's rampage is not the kind of rampage that he can score alone. Based on his personal scoring ability alone, Owen can be considered a rampage, and Liu Ren can press him on the bed and rub him in a normal state.
But this time Irving integrated with a group of high-quality role players when he was playing for the Lakers for the first time. Especially after Love was replaced, the two seemed to be like fish in water, and the cooperation was amazing.
It is said that Owen has been imitating Kobe, and he has learned Kobe's lone wolf attributes, and he is even more independent, but at the same time, his style of play and Kobe have a common characteristic, that is, the degree of fit with various insiders!
Owen can be regarded as a weakened version of Kobe in his youth. He also loves breakthroughs, has the ability to make strong mid-range and long-range shots, and has a passing ability that is close to the top, especially the ability to pass inside...
Love can be regarded as an enhanced version of scoring and rebounding; a weaker version of Gasol, Love has averaged 26 points and 13 rebounds per game, or twice, scoring more than 22 points per game per game, and his assist ability is not counted Especially bad. Before coming to the Cavaliers, he averaged more than 2.5 assists per game all the year round. Although he is not the top player among the interior players, he is definitely above the standard.
Love has always been willing to cooperate with any player of the Cavaliers, otherwise he would not give up the ball. He is willing to renew his contract with the Cavaliers with 18+8 data, because he has had enough of losing. win.
And Irving has always rejected James and Love before, thinking that they took away his starlight, because the two of them are here, and the Cavaliers will never pay the most attention to him.
But this time Owen was aroused by David Griffin's words, not just the statistical competitiveness when dealing with Liu Ren, but a higher level. It's not clear what that kind of thing is. In short, Irving rarely integrated into the entire Cavaliers team at this moment.
Irving + Love is equivalent to a weakened version of the combination of Kobe + Gasol. Although it is a weakened combination, what is the meaning of the combination of Gasol and Kobe?Kobe is no longer in his peak period, but he and Gasol have entered the finals three times and won two consecutive championships. The achievements are exactly the same as those of the Heat's Big Three, and even more terrifying, because only two of the Lakers are still Players at All-Star caliber.
For a while, Irving was like Kobe possessed, and with the help of Irving, Love also showed his mid-range and high-level support ability, driving Channing Frye, James Johnson, Richard Jefferson Several people played a perfect attack.
The Lakers played with the mentality of crushing the Cavaliers' second team. They didn't expect them to suddenly go berserk, so suddenly, they were caught off guard.
Fortunately, the Lakers adjusted quickly and replaced Green to prevent Love from continuing to show off. Antetokounmpo was too thin to prevent Love, Monroe was too slow to defend Love, let alone Gasol, his height There is not much advantage and it is slow...
After Green came up, he used his defensive method that his opponents often called "shameless"-going around to deal with Love. Love's bounce is very average, and Green is a flexible man who can barely play a small forward. The connection between Irving and Love was cut off, which blocked the Cavaliers' offensive wave.
This is also thanks to the fact that Irving and Love cooperate very little, because David Blatt always wants to leave Love for James to use when he is on the court, and wants to share the pressure on James, while ignoring Irving's great offensive skills. The need for size has led to the tacit understanding between Irving and Love is really mediocre, and the cooperation between the two insiders at the best defensive player level like Green is over.
There is no way to do this. David Blatt's first consideration must be the needs of James, which would be the case for any team.
Irving's status at this time is the same as when Kobe and O'Neal partnered. The team will never give priority to using resources on you, but you must perform well and you must take the blame.
However, this wave of offense played by Irving and Love was hard steeling the Lakers at any rate, and did not allow the score to be further stretched. After the official timeout at the 6th minute of the second quarter, the Lakers still led the Cavaliers by more than 5 points. It was 46 to 40, and the Lakers led the Cavaliers by 6 points and entered the official timeout.
When the official timeout came, James on the Cavaliers had fully recovered and was ready to play.
As for the Lakers, Kobe...is really old!In the first quarter, the firepower was fully fired and it took more than half a quarter to dream of returning to the peak. It’s okay not to rest. Maybe there will be no problem if you insist on finishing a single quarter, but once you rest, you have to rest for a long time, otherwise you won’t be able to recover for half a day.
Many friends who don't exercise often are very energetic at the beginning when they go to exercise, and then they can continue to play for a long time without taking a break, but when they take a break, the tired body reaction can't be stopped.
This is how Kobe feels, not because he doesn't exercise often, but because he is old, the reason is similar.
"Let me deal with him. If I beat him down, it will be easy for us to win." Kobe moved his body and said, although his body was still a little limp, he was still confident.
Liu Ren knew at a glance that Tie Ke was trying to be brave. This guy's will is indeed admirable, but his brain is really not good!Just like in 2013, in the second half of the regular season, Deng Tai-Jones injured his ankle and he had to fight hard. His will was really good, and he played at a very high level, but his ankle was also overwhelmed. , The tendon was broken directly.
This time he has to be brave, doesn't this guy know that he is the most threatening off-ball player for the Lakers?
Liu Ren was desperate for Kobe's IQ. Except for the old man playing basketball, other aspects were really a headache.
"Kobe, you can rest after the second half. It's the same when I come to deal with James." Liu Ren hurriedly stopped.
"You still have to deal with the rest of the Cavaliers, James is better for me." Kobe's idea is that if he solves James, the rest of the Cavaliers can be easily killed by Liu Ren. To be honest, he still thinks about Liu Ren. Of course, the mentality of wanting to compete with James is estimated to account for a large part.
"Let me do it, they don't have James, and the others can deal with it without me and you." Liu Ren said decisively.
They were all scrambling to fight James, and the rest of the Lakers left a drop of cold sweat, which showed that the old boss and the new boss were vying to fight James...
