191. Hot-tempered
Two of the three free throws, Liu Ren clapped his hands, his free throws were still a problem, and his mid-range shooting was a little poor. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
2-2 draw.
Liu Ren thinks that Harden's trick of making fouls is really useful, although he does not have the power of Magneto like Harden, but it is enough to deal with a second-rate defensive player like Barnes who is more imposing than defensive skills.
Yesterday, when the four people discussed at Liu Ren's house came up with the two weaknesses of the Clippers' scoring guard and small forward, Liu Ren thought of a way to deal with Barnes.
Liu Ren remembered that Harden would explode once he saw Barnes, and Barnes's violent temper would definitely be driven crazy by Harden's somewhat twisted style of play.
No, the Clippers just scored the second goal, and when they turned around, Liu Ren directly pulled out a three-point shot.
Barnes was fouled by Liu Renzao on the first ball, so when Liu Ren tried to step outside the three-point line this time, he suppressed his temperament and did not pounce, and Liu Ren hit a three-point shot directly when he saw this.
"Matt, what are you doing! Defend it! Leave that big space for that Chinese player to watch him shoot? "Rivers on the long side has that violent temper, and he yelled at Barnes at the beginning of the game.
Can Barnes' character endure?
"Shut up! It's me who plays or you who play! Barnes didn't care if Rivers was a coach or not, and immediately yelled back.
The rest of the court was taken aback by Barnes's words, and Rivers on the sidelines was so angry that he was about to vomit blood, he had never seen a player like this, and he dared to yell at his own coach, or in front of so many people.
This scene has also been sent to the eyes of fans around the world by more than 20 broadcasters today, and all fans are complaining about Barnes and Rivers.
"Is there really a contradiction between Barnes and Rivers? This is too bad for your own coach! Liu Ren is worried about Barnes' emotional intelligence.
The Clippers attacked, don't look at Barnes's temper, his professionalism is still very strong, and he is very active in running and blocking without the ball.
The Clippers' running position is really amazing, Griffin and Jordan Jr.'s fast speed, agility and solid blocking characteristics are completely played by Rivers, McCollum desperately chased Redick, or Redick ran out of the three-point gap, Paul just sent the ball to Redick, Redick three-point catch and shot.
It's the Lakers offense again, at this time Liu Ren wants to thank Rivers, originally Barnes has restrained the action of not pounced, in that case, Liu Rengan's three-point strength is not very sufficient, Barnes's height and arm span are very good, he just relies on defense to mix up to now, Liu Rengan's three-point pull is very likely to be interfered with.
But Barnes was made out of his mind by Rivers, and Liu Ren made two tentative steps on the right side of the free throw line, and Barnes stepped over to get ready to stick to Liu Ren.
Liu Ren leaned over to Barnes, held the ball with both hands and stretched out to hit Barnes, and hit Barnes with both arms on his left hand!
"Beep"
The referee's whistle blows, the thug fouls! Two free throws!
In less than two minutes, Barnes had two fouls!
Rivers immediately replaced Barnes, no matter how big the conflict between the two of them is, Barnes is also the best small forward of the Clippers, and he does not dare to risk Barnes three or more fouls in a single quarter to keep Barnes on the court.
While Liu Ren was on the free-throw line, the Clippers replaced Barnes with Jared Dudley.
As soon as Barnes returned to the bench with a gloomy face, Rivers scolded him bitterly: "Are you a pig? What are you doing with such a tight sticker? He made it clear that he wanted to make you foul, and you still stuck so close? Is it stupid? ”
Barnes's character would be frightened by this unreasonable abuse, and immediately leaned at Rivers and said, "Pighead, you are not only blind but also mentally retarded? Who told me to stick it up just now? I've had no choice but to take a step back and defend because of a foul, who is yelling at me to stick it up? ”
Rivers was taken aback by Barnes, he was afraid that Barnes would beat him up, and Barnes was boxing.
Fortunately, veterans like Granger and Crawford quickly pulled Barnes away, otherwise Rivers would have been scared out of mental problems, and he was pretty sure that Barnes wanted to beat him up just now.
At this time, the referee and others noticed the conflict on the Clippers bench, and both of them put away their anger when they saw this, after all, it was their team's "family matter" and they couldn't let others see the joke.
Rivers still wanted to save his head coach's face and yelled: "You go sit for me!" You won't be allowed to play without my orders! ”
"You're a coach, you're not?" Barnes had long been unhappy with Rivers, and he sat on the bench without looking at Fears.
Barnes was a big player that former Clippers coach Negro relied on a lot last season, and the Clippers only had such an eye-catching small forward as him, so he was very polite to him.
But Rivers changed all of a sudden after he came to the stage, who were the small forwards that Rivers used throughout his previous coaching career? In fact, there are only two, one Maddie and one Pierce, both of whom are among the best super small forwards in the league.
Therefore, Rivers is very disdainful of Barnes, a blue-collar small forward who has a poor offense and relies on passion and hard work in defense, especially the mini middle class that Barnes is now taking was renewed three days before Rivers took office, and prematurely used the team's only space to sign a small forward who could only be a coolie, which made Rivers very dissatisfied.
At that time, there were Nick Young, Iguodala, Korver, Webster and others in the free market, except for Iguodala who was too expensive for the Clippers to give such a big contract, and the other Nick Young, Korver, and Webster could use the team's roster attraction to lure them to Los Angeles.
Later, the contracts of these three also confirmed Rivers' ideas, Nick Young and the Lakers have a contract of 1.11 million a year with a player option, Korver signed the Hawks for an average of 4 million per year, and Webster and the Wizards have an average of 3.8 million per year.
All three have played better than Barnes this season, leaving Rivers even more unhappy with Barnes.
If you don't like a person, then no matter how hard and diligent this person is, they don't feel pleasing to the eye, Rivers is like this, maybe he didn't deliberately target Barnes, but Rivers, who was dissatisfied with this 3-year mini middle class, unconsciously picked on Barnes in all aspects.
And Barnes has always played this way, defending, shooting three-pointers, he has always been on the base salary of various teams before, and the biggest contract after playing for seven or eight years is still 1.79 million a year from the "deep-pocketed" Lakers, and the Clippers gave him a contract of almost 10 million for 3 years, and he himself was a little surprised.
Barnes just felt that Rivers was targeting him, and it was inexplicably targeting him, so he was not polite to Rivers, and he dared to fight back if he dared to scold him. (To be continued.) )
