: 8. Howard said he was injured

　　 Howard took the lead, drove Splitter, received a pass from Blake, attracted the Spurs inside to shrink the defense, and then passed out to Jamison at a 45-degree angle.
　　 The Spurs' defensive rotation is fast, Leonard appeared in front of the opponent when Jamison received the ball.
　　 But Jamison hit the earth to pass to the bottom line, and Liu Ren caught the ball and rushed to the reasonable collision zone. Howard blocked Splitter behind him in time, and Liu Ren flew to score two points.
　　 Looking back, Howard slapped Leonard in the middle of the shot. The defensive area is simply amazing! He jumped two steps across the three-point line to get to the opponent.
　　 Howard got more and more excited today, playing the kind of dominance that he used to be in the Magic era.
　　 Liu Ren grabbed the ball and quickly pushed forward to counterattack. The Spurs returned to defense very quickly. Liu Ren was double-teamed when he came to the opponent's basket.
　　 I saw Liu Ren throw the ball into the sky casually, and the number 12 behind him slapped the ball into the basket like a bat.
　　Looking at Howard, who was unstoppable on the field, Popovich was a bit big head. Sometimes, regardless of his coaching ability, there would be situations where clever women were unable to cook without rice. There was no one on the Spurs who could stop Howard!
　　Who would have thought that Howard suddenly broke out at the end of the season and played a performance that he has not had this season?
Popovich was thinking that Kobe was injured and Gasol was reimbursed for surgery. He could put his defensive focus on Howard. Whoever wanted to face the Chinese is simply a master of needles. Once they doubled Howard, Liu Ren Just cut to the inside, once the Spurs collectively contracted, the kid passed the ball to Blake or Jamison, the two of them were very accurate in the open three-pointers, and hit one after another.
　　 Ordinary people may only see Howard's strong inside dominance attract defense, but Popovich saw Liu Ren's ball-free ability, which makes Popovich feel very puzzled.
　　 Liu Ren's performance today seems unscientific to Popovich. Ask him which team he studied the most at the beginning of the season, the Lakers.
At the beginning of the season, the Lakers claimed that "my grandma can lead the Lakers to win the championship." Popovich’s biggest imaginary enemy at the beginning of the season is the Lakers. They have done enough research on every player of the Lakers, even Liu Ren and Goldlock. Such fringe players, even Thackeray, have studied, and want to open the situation as an inside breakthrough when he is on the court.
In Popovich’s impression, Liu Ren has the best outside physical test data during the 2011 trial and the jealous yellow shooting talent, but this outstanding running ability, defensive reading ability and There is no such kind of rush and grab ability!
　　 Liu Ren played more than 40 games last season and only grabbed 20 rebounds in total. He also played more than 30 games earlier this season, with a total of less than 20 rebounds. Today, he has grabbed 7 of them!
"Suddenly opened up? Or has always been so talented, but Kobe has no chance to show in the backcourt?" Popovich became more and more interested in Liu Ren. Anyway, he was going to dig Liu Ren over. It doesn't matter if you reinforce yourself, you can do anything, as long as you can weaken the Lakers' combat effectiveness, this is what this strange old man likes to do.
75 to 99, the Spurs trailed by 24 points. Popovich knew that the situation was over, and he was unwilling to fight for a game that would not hinder the overall situation when he was about to enter the playoffs. Leonard's stubborn character, just in case. It's not good to be injured too hard, this is the hope of the future for Popovich's team.
　　 By the official timeout in the fourth quarter, the score has become 77 to 103. Popovich replaced all the main players and announced the abandonment of the game.
　　 D'Antoni also breathed a sigh of relief. Although the chance of a major reversal is not great, there will always be magical things in the NBA. He has not replaced Howard and Liu Ren from the second half until now, and continues to put pressure on the opposite side.
　　 After both sides replaced marginal players, the game entered garbage time.
　　 Liu Ren played 29 minutes and scored 28 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists on 12 of 17 shots. He scored a career high in rebounds and assists! At the same time 4 turnovers are also new highs.
　　 In short, his flaws are not concealed, his position in D'Antoni's heart is higher!
　　 D'Antoni was very satisfied with Liu Ren's performance today, and patted Liu Ren on the shoulder with joy and said, "Liu, we will continue to start the next game. It's a good job."
　　 Liu Ren was overjoyed, and his excitement was beyond words.
　　 Only then did he notice that he actually scored 28 points!
　　 "Damn! I knew that the ball was not passed to Howard just now, so I would get 30 points!"
　　 Regardless of Liu Ren's thumping and excitement, the result of this game has not changed. In the end, the Lakers beat the Spurs 113 to 91 and won their 44th victory this season.
Because the Jazz lost today, Salt Lake City completely lost hope of entering the playoffs. The Lakers have an advantage against the Jazz. Even if the Jazz wins the last game and the Lakers lose, the Lakers can enter the playoffs with the same record. D'Antoni thought The big stone finally fell. If this lineup does not make the playoffs, he estimates that it will be difficult to find a job in the future.
In today’s game, D'Antoni’s biggest win is Liu Ren’s destruction of the opponent’s defense. Obviously this auspicious soldier unexpectedly exceeded the opponent’s expectations. This big victory will make the Lakers more confident when they meet in the playoffs. !
　　 "Mike, I wish you good luck in the next game. We haven't met in the playoffs for a long time, and I look forward to playing against you." Popovich said to D'Antoni at a post-match press conference.
　　 "I also look forward to meeting you again, see you in the playoffs." D'Antoni laughed.
　　 It was Howard who attended the post-match press conference with D'Antoni. Today he scored the second-highest score of 26 points, 22 rebounds and 7 blocks, showing his dominance.
　　 "Dwight, you got double 20 today and played better than other games. Is it because of Kobe's absence?" The ESPN reporter started to play.
"Our guard line has a very good talent. UU read www.uukanshu.com before because Kobe was there. No, I don’t mean it’s Kobe’s fault. He is the best shooting guard in the world, but we also have it on the bench. A very talented player, because Kobe is too strong, so there is no chance to express himself. Our ball passing is more effective when Kobe is away, I can also handle the ball more and use my internal restraint to create opportunities for teammates..." Howard really got in the way, and said what he had held in his stomach for a long time. With today's big victory, he said more confidently.
　　 Liu Ren, who came home, happened to see this interview with Howard on the Internet and shook his head with a helpless smile. It seems that it is impossible for Howard to stay in the Lakers. Howard does not understand what Kobe means to Los Angeles!
　　As Liu Ren thought, after Howard’s news came out, people did not discuss how well he played in this game, but began to criticize him. Emotional intelligence is the main concern.
　　 As expected by Liu Ren, Howard felt sad and unhappy when he saw the accusations from the Los Angeles media. He felt that he had played very well, well, the game that just ended.
　　 You must know that before Orlando was in conflict with the management, Orland Multimedia pampered him like a child.
Howard never thought that the Los Angeles media is more realistic and nostalgic than other places. It will not specifically pamper a player, but if it is to make a long-term contribution, it will not be forgotten within a period of time, instead of successively following O'Neal, like the Magic. The No. 1 center in the league such as Howard's self-cultivation fell out.
　　 It is a pity that Howard does not have such a big heart to bear the poisonous snakes of the Los Angeles media. He said that his heart was hurt...
