Just after the Lakers won three in a row in a tyrannical game, they lost to the Cavaliers who came to Los Angeles in a rage.

This time, the Lakers are fully prepared, sacrificing the style of play used by Bickerstaff to defeat the first three-in-a-row Bulls when he coached the Nuggets in the 90s, and replacing Mutombo's defensive tactics with Whiteside, which is inseparable from the Cavaliers.

But in the end, the Lakers lacked players who could break the steady rhythm of the court during the deadlock, and instead were taken advantage of by the Cavaliers' Irving several consecutive breakaways, and the Lakers finally lost to the Cavaliers 92-97.

After the big game against the Cavaliers, Kobe Bryant played nearly ten games in a row, and he was already exhausted, and he had to suspend the next few games, and the Lakers lost to the Nets in the second game after playing the Cavaliers.

In the next few games, Kobe Bryant also stopped and stopped because of physical fitness, but fortunately, there were not many strong teams in the next few opponents, and the Lakers won more and lost less, and only ran to death when they met the track and field Nuggets, and other games, including the game with the Knicks, won at home.

Finally, on March 14, after the Lakers defeated the Kings at home, Liu Ren's 15-game ban finally ended!

Liu Ren was banned for 15 games, and the overall record was 11-4, which was not bad overall, and the record became 53-13, although the Warriors opened up a gap of 6 wins, but the Lakers could catch up with the Warriors if they didn't play, and they didn't care.

Because the Spurs have played well in recent times, the Spurs only got a 10-4 record during Liu Ren's suspension, and the Lakers' three-win advantage over the Spurs is still there, the Spurs are now 52-16, and the Lakers still have the advantage of maintaining the second place in the West, because the Trail Blazers and Clippers, who are fourth and fifth in the West, have not yet reached 50 wins.

The Trail Blazers are only 44-22, and although the Clippers have 47 wins, there is still a gap between them and the Lakers, and it is basically impossible to catch up.

The Cavaliers in the East are now 49-16, and the overall record in the East is more average this year, not even a 50-win team for the time being, and it is not difficult for the Lakers to maintain home-court advantage over all teams in the East that have a chance to reach the Finals, so the Lakers are also comfortable starting to prepare for the playoffs.

"Six feet eight inches tall barefoot."

"Six feet nine inches tall in shoes."

"He weighs 252 pounds and has a body fat percentage of 8.5 percent."

"40 inches of vertical bounce."

"8 feet 8 inches tall."

"The run-up jump is 12 feet eight inches high, and the run-up jump height is 45 inches."

"The speed measurement of 40 yards is 4.6 seconds, and the speed measurement of 100 meters is 10.9 seconds."

“……”

“……”

Liu Ren is undergoing his first physical examination after returning to the team, and the injury has fully recovered a week ago, but the team's trainer has not arranged basketball training for him, but has been giving him training flexibility, mainly because he has not dared to move his ankle for more than 20 days, and needs to be rehabilitated.

Even ordinary people, who don't move around for more than 20 days, can accumulate a bunch of meat on their thighs and calves, not to mention athletes with extremely high metabolism and a lot of food.

Gary Vidi took the data after the body test and said to Liu Ren: "Boss, your weight is not well controlled, and all you have gained is fat, the body fat rate has increased by two percentage points, you have to control your food, it is best to eat less protein and sweets, eat more fiber, your speed has also decreased a little, it's time to lose weight." ”

"Gary, you can't blame me, you didn't let me train, I said my feet are fine." Liu Ren couldn't complain, blame me for growing fat, and eat your rice!

Gary Widdy gave Liu Ren a blank look, he also had to send the latest physical test report to Kupchak, in fact, although he was strict, he was very surprised by Liu Ren's recovery, but he was just a little stricter, in fact, Liu Ren was already the best player he had ever seen who had recovered from a break for more than a month.

"Watts? Gary, the boss is two centimeters taller than at the beginning of the season? The magician looked at the physical test data, and he didn't care so much about Liu Ren's speed and weight, which was normal, but he said in surprise after seeing Liu Ren's latest height, "Didn't the boss show that the epiphyseal line was closed during the physical examination at the beginning of the season?" ”

Liu Ren was already two meters and two last season, but he hasn't grown since then, and the Lakers also feel that Liu Ren won't grow taller, and Liu Ren's height of two meters and three meters is completely enough to play a small forward, and occasionally it is enough to top a big forward, so it doesn't matter if it's not long.

But now it has grown by two centimeters, and although it still belongs to six feet eight inches, it is the highest one in six feet eight inches, and one more centimeter can be regarded as six feet nine inches.

Gary Vidi didn't pay attention to the height, because one or two centimeters couldn't be seen at all, he thought for a while and said: "Generally speaking, the epiphyseal line will begin to close after the age of 20, and the boss's epiphyseal line also showed that it had closed at the beginning of the season, but it may have grown by two centimeters in the last period of closure, which is more common, but it is basically impossible to appear again in the future." ”

The magician nodded, he was actually a little frightened, if Liu Ren continued to grow taller, not only would it not be a good thing, but it might also make Liu Ren's current steadily rising strength decline.

Magic looked at this physical test data again, it was really amazing, except for James and Jordan, all the outside lines in NBA history, including Kobe Bryant and Carter, could not compare, and James, Jordan, and Maddy could complete such physical test data.

The magician looked at it and asked, "How is it, is the boss able to resume training now?" ”

"Actually, the team doctor gave me permission to resume all training a week ago, but I think the boss has played too many games in the past two years, which has increased too much compared to his previous two seasons, so I can rest as much as possible, and I don't have to worry about the ranking of our record, so it has been postponed until now." Gary Vidi explained.

"You're doing the right thing, we have to be cautious, the boss is our future, he can't have problems." The Magic approves of Gary Viddy's approach, after all, the Lakers' chief trainer for more than 30 years, Gary Viddy has been working for the Lakers since the Magic was a player, and he has a lot of respect for Gary Viddy.

"But then there's a question, our opponent in the next game is the Warriors, the boss has gained 7 pounds of fat in more than a month, if he wants to play, we can't guarantee the state, do I have to report to Mike that he is allowed to play?"

"......" the magician was silent for a moment and said, "Let the boss fight, if he knows that he is not in good shape, he will pay more attention to fat loss......"
