super small forward

Chapter 96 96. The Powerful James
Liu Renjia made a free throw, and the Lakers' first goal in the opening game, Liu Ren's O'Neal-style strong play against Bosh, made people excited, but the Heat immediately showed their strength.

James faced Liu Ren's crushing breakthrough. If you put aside other things, the two may be close to each other than bench press, weightlifting, or speed and jumping. Even Liu Ren has a slight advantage in speed and jumping because of his youth. It's also a little bit stronger, but weight plus strength is different.

In the face of James' crushing breakthrough, Liu Ren chose to fight head-to-head. The two have similar height and wingspan, but in front of James who has gained weight in the past two years to a physique comparable to a heavy power forward, Liu Ren was bumped and bounced away. Can only watch James kill the inside.

Liu Ren, who was catching up, and Gasol, who ran back to the inside, double-teamed James. James scored Battier, and Battier hit a three-pointer straight to the basket.

Can't stop it at all!Without double-teaming Liu Ren, there is no way to restrict James in a substantial sense!

The defense of the starting lineup of the Lakers is completely incomparable with the previous complete starting lineup. Only Liu Ren and McCollum can defend well, but their defensive skills are not top-notch. Wade has a chance to run back and hit the basket and stick to it.

In other words, this lineup basically does not consider the issue of defense.

3 to 3 level!
Liu Ren picked up the ball and sent it to Nash, and the Lakers attacked.

The Lakers can't defend well, but the offense is really good.

Don't look at Nash's old age, but the passing awareness will not disappear because of old age. When he and D'Antoni get together, the sparks that erupted are amazing.

Coupled with Gasol's high and low wandering, commanding Kaman's pick-and-roll and McCollum's running, Liu Ren once again created a chance to face the basket, and Nash's pass arrived at the same time.

"Hit him on the back!"

Kobe's voice came again.

"Damn! If labor and management know how to back-up, they would have back-to-back." However, Liu Ren still chose to take the initiative to lean on his back and make direct physical contact with Bosh.

Back hitting skills are not good, but strong eating does not require skills!

On Bosh's side, he saw that the small forward on the opposite side took the initiative to find him, the center forward, to play back!Extremely angry, this is simply not taking him seriously!Bare-naked-naked look down on him!
"It must have been an accident just now! It's impossible that I can't stop this little guy!"

Just as Bosh was cheering himself up, a huge force hit him on the chest, his body uncontrollably soared into the air and flew backwards, the outline fell to the ground, and was knocked into the air again...

"bang"

Bosh stared wide-eyed at the thin figure hanging on the basket, and couldn't believe it, this guy was just like that guy, a terrifying monster!

The terrible monster in Bosh's mouth is James, who is angry and indisputable. James no longer wants to talk about Bosh's inside defense.

Before Bosh entered the NBA, he always claimed to be the son of the proud and the heir to Garnett.

But after entering the NBA, people found that he was nothing like Garnett except for his size. Garnett was mainly defensive, and the iron-blooded wolf king. This dragon king ended up hugging James and Wade's thighs.

Bosh didn't want to hug his thigh at first. When he first entered the NBA, he thought about fighting for grand plans.

However, since he met James for the first time on the field, Bosh's self-confidence as the favorite of heaven was destroyed, and the second time destroyed Germany even more. In 07, when James reached the finals against the sky, Bosh was convinced, and he decided at that time that as long as he became a free agent, he would go to James.

Liu Ren and James started the first round of their careers as opponents.

It was James attacking with the ball again, and Liu Ren defending.

This time Liu Ren chose the Spurs' defense against James. Liu Ren's defensive skills are not as good as Leonard's, but his physical fitness can make up for it. As for the most critical part of the Spurs' defense against James, it is Duncan's help defense inside... ...Liu Ren said hehe, he had to rely on himself for everything. He didn't think he could defend against James. The key was to consume the opponent's physical strength. The only thing Jen can remember holding James back this season is physical strength.

James made several strong shots in a row, and Liu Ren had no way to stop him. As long as James had enough energy, he would be the strongest small forward in NBA history.

To hit the rim or distribute the ball outside, the Heat have Chalmers and Shane Battier who have two excellent shooting role players on the outside. Bosh basically doesn't have the ability to play inside, but his mid-range shots are getting more and more accurate.

However, the Lakers did not attack the Heat. The Heat did not have the ability to protect the frame. Liu Ren punched through the Heat with a single O'Neal-style back attack. After three consecutive dunks, the Heat had no choice but to let James or Battier double-team. Liu Ren.

Liu Ren is very happy about passing the ball, and he is happy to make his statistics more comprehensive.And the biggest advantage of post-playing is reflected, that is, you can observe the running movements of all your teammates while having enough space to attack!You don't need to turn your head to see where the vacated Kaman, Gasol, and McCollum are. Nash's breakthrough is gone and the shot is still there.

The two sides fought each other for seven and eight minutes, and the score was tied at 8. The Heat called a timeout.

The coaches of both sides have no special arrangements. D'Antoni emphasized that the offense should be more decisive, pass the ball more, and move more aggressively.Spoelstra asked the Heat players to strengthen the inside defense and shrink the inside if necessary.

After a timeout, both the Lakers and the Heat were replaced. Nash played for 7 and a half minutes and was replaced. After all, he was almost 40 years old. Kaman and Gasol were also replaced, replaced by Nick Young and Antetokounmpo. Bo, Whiteside.

The Heat replaced Battier, Chalmers, and Wade with Norris Cole, Ray Allen, and Birdman Anderson.

The intention of the Heat is obvious. Wade is not suitable for the rhythm of the game in this Heat game. The Lakers have a high offensive success rate. He is much better than he is now, and he was basically an invisible man in the offense in the first few minutes.

The purpose of replacing Birdman is to enhance the height of the inside line and liberate Bosh to the position of power forward.

It was the Lakers offense again. McCollum advanced halfway and gave the ball to Liu Ren. Liu Ren held the ball from the outside to face James.

Liu Ren began to spout trash talk: "I didn't expect that you, a thigh hugger, are stronger than I imagined. No, you are stronger than all the opponents I have encountered. Durant will not be your opponent at all, but you Why do you hug your thighs when you are so powerful?"

Liu Ren’s words are mostly from his heart. James is the strongest opponent he has ever met. He thinks that apart from the peak Kobe, he can’t imagine anyone who can be so good. It’s useless to support the head coach of the Heat alone. The lineup is also a disabled team.It's just that he said that on purpose to annoy James.

But James wasn't angry at all. Liu Ren's trash talk was a bit too common. An opponent in the Eastern Conference said all kinds of vicious things in the playoffs last year.
