#2. Kriener posterizes Liddell.
Today’s avatar is a really great sports action pic, ‘The Agony of Defeat’ , props to the guy that got this one.
Here we have Liddel’s shot getting massively and decisively rejected and the agony on his face is priceless. As you see Kriener’s rejected the shot at the rim is the essence of a rim protector, is the essence of points prevention at the rim, it’s like a goal line stand, there no room to retreat and it mano v Mano and the best man wins.
But wait, there is more, we also see POY Garza -also- flying in for rim protection, as its an example of the 2Big’s again working in tandem to defend the rim, together, and additive strength.
But there’s more. This is a rough game played by big and rough men. Liddell is going in strong, flailing into the net as the ball gets decisively rejected from his grasp, and Liddell has given a strong elbow to the face of Kriener, but kriener plays literally thru the elbow sandwich to make the play,
And theirs Garza, literally flying in from behind, pushing his way -through Kriener- in a physical attempt to get to the rim protection and prevent the points scoring opportunity.
Physical play from all 3, physical protection at the rim, by both 2Bigs playing in tandem.
We will never see anything like this with a 4 guard lineup
