Chapter 665
Kobe watched Liu Ren play unwillingly. D'Antoni has "disobeyed orders" now, which made Kobe feel very hurt, a faint feeling of being "abandoned". Does the old man have no human rights!Can't he be singled out with the player who is recognized as the number one player in the league!
Liu Ren would not care about the old man's thoughts, the old man is just a stubborn ghost.
James saw that the Lakers did not replace Kobe, but sent Antetokounmpo, Nick Young, Liu Ren, Gasol, and Monroe.
James was a bit regretful, but he soon became excited again. Liu Ren, Kobe, everyone is the same!In James' view, he, Kobe and Liu Ren represent the present, past and future of the league!No.1 in the three-generation alliance, no matter who is playing against whom, it makes him very excited.
The Cavaliers have replaced veterans Mo Williams, Dengtai Jones, James, Love, and Mozgov who scored 50+ in a single game last season.
Seeing Liu Ren came on the field and defended James with James, the fans burst into cheers.
Owen on the sidelines was expressionless and his heart was turbulent.
Those cheers belonged to Irving back then. At that time, the fans regarded him as the savior after James left, but since James came back last season, everything has returned to before 2010. James enjoyed all the Cavaliers by himself. Cheers, everyone else is a supporting role, dispensable, but they have to take the blame.
Come back from the timeout, the Cavaliers have the ball.
James looked 6 points behind, and immediately prepared to start the offensive mode.
Liu Ren is defending half a step away from James. Now it is really difficult to defend against James. He will shoot when given a chance in the middle and long distances, and his accuracy is really good. He has to defend. If he sticks too tightly, the opponent's explosive power and explosive speed are too fast. .
Liu Ren's half-step defense seems to be a good distance control. In fact, this defensive method is only useful for those players who are all-around but not top-notch, such as Waiters and Oladipo. A player who knows everything but is not good at anything. As long as this kind of player is prepared for defense, it is easy for top defensive players to lock up.
But if it is James' level, this kind of defense can only make it more difficult for the opponent to create space for shots. What Liu Ren can do now is to interfere as much as possible, and then the main defense breaks through.
Liu Ren also figured it out. If you want to defend against James, if you really want to lock up the opponent, you are looking for death. The way the Spurs thought of defending James is the most effective, although it is not so applicable now, because James' agility and shooting have returned to 2012. The peak state, but it is always the best one.
At this time, James rested for almost 10 minutes during the game, and almost 20 minutes for the entire rest. The best defense is to prevent penetration and not prevent shots.
After receiving a pass from Mo Williams, James found it easy to create space for the shot, but the drive opportunity was not.
"Still look down on my shooting?" James was in a hurry, and made a three-pointer!
As soon as James made a shot, Liu Ren immediately turned around and shouted: "Rebound!"
Liu Ren made the right bet, James has a good chance, but his touch is a bit cold due to too long rest, and he missed a three-pointer. When Monroe and Gasol are two seven-footers under the basket together, the Cavaliers can't rebound Now, neither Love nor Mozgov are insiders with strong positioning. Love mainly relies on anticipation to grab rebounds, but besides him, there are three huge centers at the basket. Mozgov has no boards, but grabs The rebound is really mediocre, and the ball was taken by Monroe.
Monroe got the ball and passed it to Liu Ren, who immediately made a fast break.
At this time, a guy wearing the No. 30 Cavaliers red and yellow home jersey suddenly rushed over and stretched his feet up. Liu Ren quickly stopped his legs and knocked over the person standing in front of him.
"beep"
The referee blows the whistle to stop the foul.
Liu Ren's pupils shrank. If he hadn't reacted quickly to the ball just now, he would have fallen to the ground!And it is very likely to be injured!
And the guy who rushed up to prevent Liu Ren from counterattacking was the one who caused Kobe to play several games with his injured ankle, and finally his ankle injury worsened and his Achilles tendon ruptured——Deng Tai-Jones!
This ball must be a blocking foul. When Deng Tai-Jones rushed over, Liu Ren had already started to speed up. Deng Tai-Jones blocked the position not from the front, but from the side. He directly hit Liu Ren from the side, but Liu Ren hit The force was too strong, and the referee may have seen the step too fast, but it was only regarded as Deng Tai-Jones rushing too fast, after all, Liu Ren did not have an accident because of this, but Deng Tai-Jones was hit Enough.
At this time, the referee had to watch the playback to confirm whether it was an ordinary foul or a physical foul, because Liu Ren was the first player to rush to the center line just now.
Regardless of whether Deng Tai-Jones' foul became a physical foul or not, the Cavaliers players all admired his courage in going up to block Liu Ren, and they all went up to give him a high-five.
Liu Ren was very puzzled. Is the foot that appeared in front of the leg that he was about to step out just now just right?Or accident?
While the referee was watching the replay, D'Antoni called the five players together to emphasize the rhythm of the counterattack.
For example, for the ball just now, if Monroe passed Antetokounmpo, Liu Ren could go straight down without dribbling, and the speed would be much faster. Deng Tai-Jones would not be able to catch up. Antetokounmpo Bo can use the long pass to send the ball to Liu Ren.
Although it is only a round of offense, and this time he still has the ball if he fails to score, and it may even become a physical foul and get two free throws and one throw, but it is only possible, and if the established counterattack tactics are played out, it is real Got two points.
Playing against the top three teams in the league like the Cavaliers, scoring or missing a goal may eventually become a factor affecting the final result of the game.
For example, in the end, because the lead was less than two points, it gave the opponent a lore chance. For example, the pressure on the opponent by the difference of 9 points and 11 points is completely different from the confidence in the team.
After D'Antoni emphasized it, he asked the players to rest, because the referees were still arguing. When Liu Ren and Deng Tai-Jones collided, their positions were well balanced. From this point of view, it is really hard to tell who is in front, and it is impossible to determine what kind of foul it is.
Kobe called Liu Ren aside, with a serious expression on his face: "You have to be careful with that guy."
Apparently, Kobe also saw Liu Ren's unnatural forward rushing with his legs back just now.
"Did that guy do it on purpose just now?" Liu Ren said, frowning.
"I don't want to maliciously speculate on a basketball player, but you have to be careful." Kobe said solemnly.
"I see." Liu Ren nodded.
Kobe hesitated for a moment, and then added: "I know you Chinese are restrained, but sometimes it's a good solution to use violence to counter violence."
Liu Ren opened his eyes wide and looked at Kobe, this is teaching the "children" to be bad!He suddenly remembered that Kobe was also a member of the "bad boys" in the 90s when he was young...
After watching the replay, the referee determined that Deng Tai-Jones had more body than Liu Ren on the other side of the center line when he charged Liu Ren, so it was a good tactical foul!
No way, this is the home court of the Cavaliers, Deng Tai-Jones probably stretched out his foot in front of Liu Ren...
The game continued, the Lakers played the ball in the frontcourt, Liu Ren dribbled to the top arc after receiving the serve, and observed the Cavaliers' defense.
It’s not James who is defending Liu Ren. David Blatt knows that James’ physical fitness at this age cannot be compared with Liu Ren’s. This has been confirmed last season. The 30-year-old James is no longer suitable to be the defensive core in regular games. It is enough to direct the traffic, and it is Deng Tai-Jones who defends Liu Ren.
