Super Small Forward

Clippers and warriors, these two teams in the NBA fans, can be regarded as strong teams, but not particularly strong, anyway, not in the championship contenders.

Next, the Lakers are different. Last year's runner up, the San Antonio Spurs, who won the championship by a free throw.

Liu Ren said before the game: "we hope to avenge last year's playoffs, the opponent is very strong, they nearly won the championship last year, but even if it is such an opponent, we will not be afraid, I believe that my own strength and my teammates."

Competitive? Liu Ren is not short of this thing, but he is full of ambition.

Liu Ren, who was eliminated by the Spurs in the playoffs last season, feels the frustration that no matter how hard you try, you can't win. The frustration didn't break him down, it inspired him.

He just didn't say that, not forget that defeat. He did weight training day after day in the summer, and did not slack off every day. He tried every day to adapt to the strength of his body and find his hand feeling. One of the driving forces was eliminated by the Spurs.

What's more, if the opponent is Duncan's Spurs, Liu Ren doesn't want to miss a game. Although this guy is jokingly called the No. 21 rookie, everyone knows that Duncan's days in the NBA have entered the countdown, and it is not many years before he can compete with the No. 1 power forward in history.

Generally speaking, in the face of opponents' provocation, most teams choose to turn a blind eye, which in people's eyes is called steadiness.

But

The Spurs, a steady looking team, have a sudden change in style.

"Well, a kid who just got the middle class started to be proud?" This is Parker.

"Let him wait and see how we kick his butt." This is Ginobili.

"Tell him that the future is his, but let's watch us old guys play now." This is Duncan.

"Tell him I'll let Tim, what should I say? " Leonard, an honest boy, didn't remember his lines.

"Cough." Duncan, an old facial paralysis, is embarrassed to see the performance of small facial paralysis. Young people still need to practice their acting skills! I didn't remember the lines. It seems that I can practice more.

Duncan perfunctorily escaped with two other carriages and facial paralysis.

“……” Reporters have been a little bit immune to the Spurs in recent years, or still speechless.

The Spurs' core foursome returned to the rented UCLA stadium to train for the night's game.

Ginobili made a three-point shot and said with some regret: "Greg's vision is really accurate. That Chinese Liu played really well this year. Unfortunately, we didn't get them in the summer. Otherwise, the front and back line formed by him and kehuai will definitely suppress the heat."

"It's not difficult to suppress the heat's outside line. We also have kowai and Dani. The point is that we can't make mistakes and play well in every game." Duncan light said, and just tease - than different, as if nothing can affect him.

"Tim, you've seen it, too. Yesterday's game between the Lakers and the warriors, Liu's performance was terrible, and the Lakers were really lucky. Just after Kobe was injured, he gave them another Liu." Parker has some taste. It's a mistake not to dig up Liu Ren in summer.

"Don't they say God favors Los Angeles? When they were not like this, magician retired, two teams sent OK, O'Neill came to Gasol Ginobili curled his mouth.

The Spurs are talking about Liu Ren. Leonard seems to be practicing three points without expression. When picking up the ball, he mumbles: "Liu..."

On the other side, Popovich and Buford are watching clips of Liu Ren's pre-season and regular season games.

Liu Ren's impact force can be compared with James. From the point of view of his untidy interior play, Liu Ren's impact force is stronger than that of James. What he is worse than James is that he has no all-round organizational ability.

James's all-round has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that as long as the team he is in can at least guarantee the regular season record and compete for the division championship. As long as his teammates are not particularly bad, he can take it. The disadvantage is that almost every ability of him is the strongest in the team. The offensive and defensive rebounds, assists and even the frame protection ability are the strongest in the team. It is difficult to find a helper for him. You can find a scorer who is inferior to him in scoring, or even inferior to him in defense when he is looking for a defensive player with strong organizational ability. His organizational ability is not as good as that of a rebounder.

As a result, he has to play all-out, and his physical burden is very heavy. If it was not for his physical quality, which is rare in history, he would have been exhausted.

Liu Ren now only attacks the basket every game. The rebounds are by-pass. In his opinion, the rebounds flying in his direction should be picked up by him.

"If I had known, I would have sent ten million contracts directly. Greg, do you think we still have room for ten million?" Buford said gloomily.

Buford listened to Popovich's words and went to recruit Liu Ren. What he gave was a mini middle-class offer. He gave Duncan a contract of 30 million for three years, Ginobili for two years and Dior for 27 million for three years. He could only offer Liu Renzhong.In Buford's view at the time, a middle-class contract for a player who was close to the last season of his career was already generous.

If you know Liu Ren's current performance, Buford will definitely discuss with these several people. These people are absolutely willing to take less than one million yuan a year and come together to offer Liu Ren a higher price.

Is it lucky for Buford to look forward to Liu Ren? Buford is not the kind of general manager with no ability. He is not blind. Liu Ren, a player who attacks the basket by his body and mind, can only play better and better. Didn't he see that after the start of the regular season, he ran back from time to time and made three points.

"Don't think so much, just three years. And we have kehuai, he is not worse than Liu, on the contrary, we have been winning, the Lakers do not have our atmosphere to win. Three years later, we have a great chance to win him with our team atmosphere. By then, Tim will probably retire. We have enough space to give big contracts Popovich has a long-term vision. If he didn't get Liu Ren this year, he didn't get it. The Spurs are now the strongest team in the league. He is very confident. It doesn't matter if he doesn't get Liu Ren. Now the most important thing is the championship.

"It's because I lost sight. I thought I was going to find a substitute for kehuai. I didn't expect that Liu could form a double gun with kehuai, or a good defense combination." Buford said with a wry smile.

On the other side of the Lakers, seeing the interview video of the Spurs, I felt that crows were flying all over the sky.
