Super Small Forward

　　 Liu Ren is so fierce, not only shocked the Nuggets, even D'Antoni was shocked.

　　 Seeing the increasing defensive action of the Nuggets, D'Antoni replaced Liu Ren early. Anyway, the Nuggets were about to collapse.

　　 Liu Ren played 27 minutes in this game, 13 of 17 shots, 14 of 25 free throws, 40 points, 7 rebounds and 5 blocks!

　　 He thinks that if it were not for the shameless three-person double-teaming of the four or five offensive excavators, he would not miss a single goal today!

　　 Because all his shots are dunks!

　　 In the end, the Lakers took the Nuggets 109 to 95, and their record became 25 wins and 9 losses. They succeeded in overtaking the Thunder and Rockets 24 wins and 10 losses, ranking second in the West!

　　On the way back to the hotel~

　　 "Liu, has anyone offended you in the tunnelling team?" Whiteside asked with a depressed look.

　　 Why is the Nuggets blown up by Liu Ren and Whiteside is depressed?

　　Because Liu Ren didn't make waves outside and kept attacking the inside, he was so big and squatting there to occupy the position, D'Antoni didn't let him play for too long.

　　 Even if D'Antoni put him on the court for a few minutes, in order to make room for Liu Ren, he would have to pull it out. In addition, Liu Ren has been playing the inside offensively today, with a very high shooting rate and no rebounds for him...

　　 Today Whiteside played only 7 minutes in the first three quarters, and got 2 points, 4 rebounds and 1 block.

After Liu Ren was replaced in the second half of the third quarter, the score was already 91-65, and the Lakers were far ahead. In order not to hurt the opponent's face, D'Antoni was too embarrassed to be the team's most powerful inside player and did not let Whitesay. Germany continued to play, but used Antetokounmpo and Thackeray to pair up inside.

　　Whiteside can only continue to sit on the bench, which is terrible for this data mania! His rebounding average has fallen to fifth place. Drummond, Love, Howard, and Jordan have all averaged more than 12 rebounds per game. However, Whiteside's recent winning streak has reduced playing time. The average rebounds dropped to 11.8.

　　 Hearing Whiteside’s question, Liu Ren replied casually: "No, I am not familiar with them."

　　 Whiteside continued to ask: "Is it because I lost to Gordon and I was in a bad mood and asked the Nuggets inside to vent?"

Liu Renbai glanced at Whiteside: "Why are you so nasty? Am I such a stingy person? This is not the point. The point is to vent how good it is for me to find a girl to vent. Opposite a group of **** guys, my taste is not that heavy. "

　　 "..." Whiteside was at a loss for words, he was even more puzzled, he still couldn't figure out why Liu Ren broke out today.

　　 He can't figure it out if he can't figure it out, the Lakers' road trip has just begun!

　　After playing the Nuggets, the Lakers immediately flew to Dallas the next morning to prepare for the night game against the Mavericks.

　　 The Mavericks have been gaining momentum recently. After Christmas, they won six games and won six consecutive victories for the first time after two years. The last time they won the championship year was the playoffs.

　　 I have to say that Carlisle is a very good coach. With this bad card in his hand, he was surprised to put the Mavericks in the playoffs!

　　Who is the Mavericks best player? It's not the newcomer Ellis who is in his prime, but the veteran Nowitzki leads the team with an average of 21 points per game.

Although many fans criticized Carlisle's desperate behavior to enter the playoffs as a hindrance to the Mavericks' reconstruction, after all, Nowitzki is so old, the Mavericks are not a team that can attract young stars, only relying on draft reconstruction. This one method.

　　 Some Mavericks fans are thinking about showing up for two years, so that Nowitzki can bring rookies.

　　 But Carlisle doesn't think so. He thinks that the team's strength is the right way to attract stars, and it will not succeed like the Cavaliers.

　　 Although Liu Ren knew that the Mavericks had not been able to attract stars in the end, and the only thing that attracted them was Parsons, who was known as the representative of high salaries and low energy, he still respected Carlisle's spirit.

　　 Respect to respect, this game is not easy!

　　Because it was back-to-back, the coaching staff did not arrange training for the players, but Liu Ren did not go to the streets of Dallas. Instead, he found the assistant and took the hard drive with the Mavericks game clips back to the room to watch the Mavericks' defensive strategy.

　　……

At 7:10 in the evening, 20 minutes before the start of the game between the Lakers and the Mavericks, the players began to enter the field. Liu Ren was the last one to leave the locker room. Everyone else has already entered the field. No, there is one other person. He met in the player channel. There was a thin guy.

　　 "Hey, Liu, do you know me? I am Monta." Monta Ellis took the initiative to greet Liu Ren.

　　 "Haha, of course, I still have a fresh memory of your Black Eight Mavericks! I didn't expect you to come to this team to play. It's incredible." Liu Ren smiled.

　　 "I also find it incredible, to be honest, there is no way to come here to play." Ellis looked helpless.

　　 Liu Ren asked curiously: "Why? Isn't Cuban a good boss?"

Ellis sighed and said: "Mark is indeed a good boss to players, but only good to Dirk. My agent talked to him about the contract extension, but he didn't seem to renew my contract. Meaning, it is estimated that I will move again after playing this season."

　　 If the players have no major problems, they are actually unwilling to change teams, even if the team strength is average, after all, changing teams is tantamount to moving. Fortunately for young players and veterans, they all drag the family.

　　 Liu Ren felt incredible for Ellis. Ellis averaged 20 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists per game this year. Isn't such a shooting guard league having a hand? Is Cuban's brain showy?

　　Don’t say, Cuban is really showy, he actually hopes to introduce James or Anthony in the summer...

"Then what do you plan to do next season? Continue negotiations with the Mavericks?" Liu Ren thinks that Ellis seems to be playing very happily with the Mavericks. After all, the data is good, and he may enter the playoffs, compared to the Warriors and Bucks. much better.

"I don't know, but I and I envy you very much. I can play in the Lakers and see that you are a group of young people. The record is so good~www.wuxiaspot.com~ In addition to the shooting guard position and almost manpower, everything else is perfect. Now." Ellis pointed out.

　　 Liu Ren raised his eyebrows every time he encountered a special situation. This time he raised his eyebrows and thought: "So this guy is staring at Kobe's position after retirement!"

　　 Recently, Liu Ren has received a lot of hints. Many people are staring at the position of the Lakers shooting guard. After all, Kobe is on a two- to three-year contract. Once he retires, the position of the Lakers shooting guard has become a hot commodity in the league.

　　 Hayward is actively getting together with a group of Lakers core, isn't it just to build a good relationship with the Lakers group? Hayward is still young, and he can wait until Kobe retires before coming to the Lakers.

　　Who doesn't want to partner with Liu Ren, Whiteside and Gasol?

　　 At the same time, the position of the point guard is also being spotted. The Lakers' perfect configuration of the frontcourt makes the two positions in the backcourt a sweet spot in the eyes of the league's strong backcourt players.

Among them, Ellis is the most eye-catching. After all, D'Antoni and old Nelson’s play styles have many similarities. The most dazzling years of Ellis's career were played under the running and bombing of old Nelson. He believes that in D'Antoni The subordinates can also play the glory of the year, and maybe they can taste the championship in Los Angeles.

　　Although Liu Ren admired Ellis' aggressiveness on the court, he was too thin, and he was more unique than Kobe, playing the sixth man was fine, but he was just a little bit less interesting in starting.

　　 Liu Ren can only say: "It's a pity that we can't afford your contract, otherwise it must be a very interesting thing to partner with you."

　　 "Salary can be discussed. If you can't stay with the Mavericks, I think the Lakers are my first goal!" Ellis is full of hope for the future.

　　 "I am looking forward to it." Liu Ren could only answer like this.
