The Lakers challenged the Warriors away to Game [-] of the Western Conference Finals.
The first game of Barnes' frenzied blacksmithing tour.
Barnes expressed his displeasure, why, why!He wants to prove to the Lakers that he is no worse than Thompson, and he wants to slap the Lakers in the face.
However, Barnes performed so well in the regular season, averaging 16 points per game. He even averaged 18 points per game during Walton's coaching, and his efficiency was even higher than Thompson.
整个赛季巴恩斯场均16分4板2助攻，命中率高达40.00%八，三分命中率高达40.00%。
Most of this data was produced during Walton's coaching period, largely because Curry and Thompson helped him attract the defense away, so that he could be so efficient in singles.
But now he has completely become a black hole in possession of the ball. When the ball is in his hands, it is basically impossible to get out.
This is a disaster for the Warriors' Steve Kerr's team play, because Steve Kerr's tactics never allow small forwards to play alone. In Steve Kerr's tactics, it is all People create easy shots for Curry and Thompson, rather than letting them create opportunities for others. This is the difference between Steve Kerr and Walton coaching.
And when Barnes continued to ask for the ball in singles, and was defended by Liu Ren in the first half of the first quarter and was 7 of 2, the Warriors' tactics collapsed from the beginning.
Steve Kerr was in a bad mood and called timeouts continuously, but no matter how much he scolded, Barnes didn't change, and he just came up.
After finally finishing the first quarter, Steve Kerr had enough time to start spraying.
The Lakers are on the bench, and everyone sits down and rests for a while during the break.
Today's start was really good, it was so good that people were surprised. They led 17 to 6 by 11 points in the half quarter. After the first quarter, the Lakers scored 33 to 13.
Liu Ren looked at the Warriors' bench, and there were two people who made him feel weird and felt like he had done something bad.
One of them is Barnes, who is already manic today, and the other is Thompson, who is inexplicably unmotivated today.
Just today, at noon on the day of the game, Time Warner's Sports Illustrated revealed an "amazing inside story". The exclusive revelation they got from the Warriors' internal sources stunned Woj.
Lakers president Magic Johnson is in talks with Warriors owner Bob Myers about a postseason trade.
This is not a big deal, there have been rumors that the Lakers have been interested in Barnes of the Warriors since the middle of the season, and have had several detailed discussions.
If it's just about Barnes' trade negotiations, it's not a problem at all. This is what the heads of the two teams should do.
And from the reporter's interviews, it seems that the Warriors did not have much intention to keep Barnes, and did not renew his contract in advance last summer, and Barnes did not reject joining the Lakers. Instead of rejecting, he yearned for it. Appreciate the history of the Lakers and more.
This time Sports Illustrated's revelation suddenly became a hot spot or even a hot spot because the protagonist in the revelation was not Barnes, but Thompson!
According to "inside information" obtained by Sports Illustrated, Magic Johnson's proposed trade target is Warriors shooting guard Klay Thompson!
People can make up their minds. In people's opinion, what Magic Johnson went to the Warriors several times before was not about Barnes, but about Thompson's trade!
Actually, it's normal for the Lakers to be interested in Thompson. They need a purer off-ball shooter who is similar to Kobe, who has become a role player. Curry on the Warriors side is a high-quality off-ball shooter. We need a teammate with the ability to score with the ball, and neither Barnes nor Thompson is top-notch in this regard. Barnes will be deflated when he encounters Leonard, Liu Ren, and James with better physical fitness than him. , Thompson is simply a pitcher.
The Lakers have McCollum as a bargaining chip, which the Warriors urgently need, and the Lakers can send other chips, the Warriors will definitely be tempted.
If this news is revealed in normal times, it will also spark discussions, but it will not suddenly become the headline of the headlines like it is now. After all, the two teams are about to play the Western Conference Finals.
If people talk about it, it's over. This is a normal business negotiation, and the season is still going on. They are just doing business negotiations for things after the season. It will make these two super strong teams stronger, and it will be scary not to give other teams a chance in the league. If the Lakers get a player who succeeds Kobe, who is similar to Kobe's current style of play, and is more accurate and younger, The Warriors got a ball-handling offensive master they dreamed of, making up for their weakness of only three ball-handling points, Curry, Randall, and Iguodala. One of the group to make up for Bogut's weakness of only playing 20 minutes, and there is still huge salary space in the summer to poach people...
This is what people pay attention to.
But when it comes to players, the fluctuations are huge!
McCollum on the Lakers side is okay. He is a Kobe fan, and he likes the Lakers. If he can take over Thompson's shots there, it will be more enjoyable than playing in the Lakers. The Lakers have too many ball-holding points, it is difficult to get him, and the Warriors are still starting!
Thompson's here... is okay. His poor performance today is mainly because he feels abandoned by the team, and he is very entangled in his heart. If he really goes to the Lakers, he will be a teammate with Liu Ren? ...Thinking about it, I am a little excited...He is the team's best three-pointer!
Generally speaking, these two people have worries, but they also have joys. Thompson can only say that he played normally today, and he reasonably opened up the space to allow Barnes to play singles. As for why Barnes was allowed to play singles... Barnes is in the starting lineup The most important role of the ball is to open up space and turn the ball. Now that Barnes does not pass the ball, he has to open up space for him.
And Thompson is indeed a bit disappointed, not playing actively. After all, he has played in the Warriors for five years, so he has become a bargaining chip?
After the news came out, it was Barnes who hit the hardest.
He has been fantasizing about going to the Lakers for half a year, and then he suddenly told him: Don’t daydream, boy, the Warriors will not renew your contract, and the Lakers don’t want you either...
Liu Ren glanced at Barnes who lost his mind and ignored Steve Kerr's scolding on the Warriors' bench, then looked back at the private room where the Magician and the Warriors owner watched the game today, and sighed.
Liu Ren used to think that basketball was very pure, but he didn't expect that there are so many morals in basketball, public opinion, criticism, rebellion, alienation...fuck these bosses have read Sun Tzu's Art of War!
Without being a player himself, and climbing to the top of the player's pyramid, Liu Ren really didn't know that the NBA is not just a league for playing.
In this league, there are villains like Popovich and David Blatt, good guys like Rudy Tomjanovich, smiling tigers like Magician, domineering people like Larry Brown, There are also scheming old men like Zen masters...
But this is the real NBA!
Liu Ren knows that he has actually learned about this, and may experience it in the future, and may become the protagonist in it, just like Kobe Bryant's chic back in 03, James' decision, and Iverson driving away Larry Brown , The Three Musketeers of the Nets and the Three Musketeers of the Mavericks collapsed... and so on, etc. things may fall on my own head.
After this incident, Liu Ren looked back and thought that when Kobe, James and others were in a storm of public opinion, if there were no hostile teams fueling the flames, he would never believe it!
Generally speaking, only teams at the peak of their prosperity will encounter such things. For example, the Kobe Eagle County incident happened when the Lakers first formed the Big Four. James decided to have such a big impact because he formed three top ten players in the league. The formed super combination does not give other teams survival.
And now, the Warriors seem to want to give the Lakers a life. For the Magician, he won the championship with the first record in history last year in his first year in office. Winning the championship means not giving him a way out.
Liu Ren thought about this afternoon, when the magician returned to the hotel that the Lakers had contracted, he still had an angry expression on his face before entering the hotel gate, as if something big had been leaked by the Warriors, but he just caught up with the news after seeing the news. After he came back to appease McCollum and got on the elevator together, the magician immediately turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile on his face.
At that time, Liu Ren understood that all this was calculated by the magician!Including the "friendly and intimate" exchange with Thompson that was "surreptitiously photographed" in a nightclub two afternoons ago, and the so-called "Thompson spent money to treat Lakers players to eat expensive desserts to please future teammates" from the bar attendant, They have all been used!
"Don't worry, boss, you just need to play well, we will help you create the most perfect game opportunities and find you the best teammates."
Thinking of what the magician said, Liu Ren didn't know whether to be happy or... happy, everything that happened in the past two days was good for him and not bad.
However, he felt the coldness of a team.
Sure enough, the NBA is a business league!Although the Lakers have a lot more human touch than other teams, most of them are just a foil to their peers, and...their human touch is probably limited to the superstars they have cultivated. McCollum said he would throw it out, which immediately Became an outcast...
The second quarter is about to start, Liu Ren throws away those irrelevant thoughts about the game, gets up and prepares to lead the second team to kill the Warriors!
Take advantage of your illness to kill you, this is Liu Ren's principle of doing things in the competition!
Who knows how long Barnes' emotional breakdown can last, the most important thing is to seize the home court advantage now!
What made Liu Ren quite happy was that instead of being disappointed by replacing Nick Young, McCollum was very excited. After all, it was possible to start for the Warriors!No matter who the Lakers want in the end, he will definitely start when he goes to the Warriors. Thompson can play small forward. After all, he is [-] meters tall, and he is also a good partner with Barnes.
This is why Liu Ren feels that the Lakers are more humane. After all, they have given McCollum a better future.
In the Lakers, when Kobe no longer focused on singles and became an off-ball shooter, they gradually no longer needed Kobe as a single player. The singles task was given to Liu Ren. They needed a pitcher more than Kobe. A purer pitcher.
The Lakers sent LaVine, McCollum, Liu Ren, Antetokounmpo, and Green in the second quarter.
Barnes was benched for the Warriors, which broke their rotation. Originally, the combination of Barnes, Iguodala and Livingston was the best, but now Barnes is playing No, in order to maintain a backup firepower lineup with all five players capable of scoring, Curry could only be sent in, Curry, Livingston, Iguodala, Speights, and Randall.
The Warriors are going to fight in the first game of the Western Conference Finals!Curry and Randall began to be used to the rhythm of death!
This lineup is Curry and Liu Ren going head-to-head.
Liu Ren came up with the heart to kill the Warriors, and Curry also came up with the determination to reverse, and both of them looked at each other with murderous looks. This has nothing to do with off-court factors, but the two just met on the court !
……
……
In the most luxurious private room of the Warriors, Bob Myers watched Curry have to fight the Lakers when it was time for the rotation. It's just that the Lakers played half-heartedly. Liu Ren, who reached the Western Conference Finals, fully turned on the scoring mode, and played on par with Curry, who also turned on the scoring mode this year. Green and Randall started fierce physical confrontation again. I don't even care about organizing an attack.
The Warriors sent the team's strongest inside and outside line, but only to keep the point difference from being stretched wider, and there is no trend of shrinking.
The Warriors have already been shaken internally due to things outside the team. This starting problem not only affects him, but even many people in the Warriors are in danger.
Bob Myers had said before the game that those things were fake, but no one believed it.
Seeing the situation of the game, Bob Myers looked at the smiling [-] meter fat man next to him with the eyes of a shameless villain.
"Okay Bob, it's not like you to be so fussy." The magician smiled.
"Huh, Erwin, you are always so insidious, just like when you were a player, you always use your smile to deceive people, your showtime is a liar and then play again!" Bob Myers angrily said .
"Showtime is all about deceiving people. If we don't deceive our opponents, how can we win?" The magician said indifferently. If a 'magician' can't deceive people, is he still called a magician?
"I refuse to talk to you." Bob Myers snorted coldly.
Seeing that Bob Myers seemed to be playing petty temper, this shrewd businessman was a little different, and it was clearly intentional.
Seeing that the magician laughed even more, it was just a means of negotiating the business, so the magician directly enlarged his move: "McCollum plus Biyombo plus the lottery-protected first-round picks this year and 2018, the salary cap We bear it."
This big move is no longer about business, it is simply bombing!
Bob Myers' eyes widened in an instant, and he thought he had heard wrong.
"Ahem, of course I'm not such a fussy person...let's talk about the details..."
