NBA: I really just want to be a second-in-command

Chapter 137 [See how I beat that kid]

The first quarter is over.

The Utah Jazz ended with a two-point lead at 22:20.

"Why do I feel that the Utah Jazz seem to have taken advantage of the field in the first quarter, but they only lead by two points when they look at the score?" McLean said.

"The reason why you think the Jazz have an advantage on the scene is because of the role of Deron Williams. He plays very strongly and is always looking for the opponent's arrow to single out, whether it is Kobe in the first team or Lu in the second team, and they scored in these heads-ups, so you feel that they have an advantage on the scene." Robertson said.

"Oh, that might be the reason."

"But in fact, the Jazz don't have much of an advantage. Although Deron is invincible in singles, the Lakers' offense is impressive. Although Kobe Bryant doesn't have much offense in the first team, Kwame Brown and Odom They all played well. Although the second team Lu couldn't guard you, but his pick-and-roll level is quite mature, and he didn't delay scoring. So don't look at Deron playing almost a full quarter with the first team, but actually It has no effect at all.”

"Then how do you think the Jazz should adjust in the second quarter?" McLean asked.

"Defense." Robertson emphasized, "Remember, McLean, when the offensive capabilities of the two sides are comparable, the competition is the defensive ability. Whoever can start the defense first will take the initiative."

McLean nodded.

"But the problem is, the Jazz's first team played a full quarter, and the first half of the second quarter probably had to rest. Do you think the Jazz's second team can beat the Lakers?"

"I think the Utah bench has a chance," Robertson said.

"Oh?" McLean said unexpectedly, "I thought you would think the Lakers had a better chance of winning. After all, their rookie Lu performed quite well."

"Lu's performance is indeed not bad, but the problem is that the strength of the Jazz's bench lineup is considered good in the league. I think the Lakers may not have their depth."

"Okay, the second quarter started. As we expected, the Jazz replaced their second team. Of course, they didn't completely remove all the main players. The substitute team was led by Fisher. And the Lakers are still playing with their bench lineup. Let's take a look at who can take the lead in gaining an advantage for the team from both sides' bench lineups."

The second quarter begins!
The Utah Jazz attack.

Fisher dribbled the ball halfway, Lu Yusheng stepped forward to defend.

Lu Yusheng knew about Fisher. He wasn't very aggressive, and he basically wouldn't take the initiative to break through and attack the opposing defender. After all, his own speed wasn't fast either.

Lao Yu is a very team player. His biggest advantage is that no matter where he plays, he will play according to the rules and regulations.

Moreover, this guy has a big heart at critical moments, which is probably why Zen Master likes him.

Sure enough, when the second team was led by Fisher, he really played pick-and-roll tactics according to the arrangement of Mr. Sloan.

The Jazz's backup small forward Matt Harprin stepped forward to pick and roll the old fish Fisher.

In his previous life, Lu Yusheng had watched many Lakers games, so he was naturally familiar with Lao Yu's style of play, but he really had no impression of Lao Yu's pick-and-roll tactics.

When Lao Yu was in the Lakers, the Lakers basically played the triangle offense and rarely played pick-and-rolls.

So Lu Yusheng didn't know Lao Yu's pick-and-roll level either.

Give it a try.

After the pick-and-roll, Lu Yusheng circled back directly, because he knew that although Lao Yu had a long-range shot, he did not have the ability to shoot long-range shots quickly, so he circled behind Matt Harprin to defend, even if Lao Yu wanted to shoot , he can also go up and interfere.

Unexpectedly, when Lao Yu saw that Lu Yusheng chose to go around to defend, he shot directly!
Lu Yusheng jumped out and interfered as much as possible!

Lao Yu was obviously disturbed by Lu Yusheng, and the ball missed.

rebound!
Bynum was right under the basket, and Lu Yusheng felt that the rebound should be stable.

But what everyone didn't expect was that the Jazz's backup center Jaylon Collins actually took off the rebound from Bynum's head!
Lu Yusheng was taken aback.

This bouncing, this speed, is too fucking beast!
Sure enough, the NBA is full of quality monsters.

This is Lu Yusheng's fifth game, and he has never seen someone with such exaggerated bullet speed and bounce. If there is anyone who can compete with this guy, it is only Stoudemire from the Suns.

But this Jaylon Collins has such exaggerated physical fitness, how come Lu Yusheng has no impression of this person at all?

After getting the rebound, Jaron Collins passed the ball again.

Laoyu dribbled the ball and reorganized his tactics. This time, the opponent's second position, Gordon Girisek, came out to pick and roll Laoyu.

Lu Yusheng still adopted the defensive tactics of going around the back just now.

I thought that the shot just now was a hit, but this time the old fish should not make another shot.

But unexpectedly, when the opportunity came up, Lao Yu still voted directly without any hesitation.

Lu Yusheng hurriedly jumped up high to interfere again!

This ball...

brush!
Go straight in!

Lu Yusheng secretly admired it, he really had a big heart, he completely blocked his shot vision, and he still let him make it.

However, this was not what Lu Yusheng admired the most. When an opportunity presented itself to Lao Yu, he voted for it without any hesitation.Even if the shot was ridiculously crooked before.

Take the shot when you get the chance.

Wharton said this, and Kobe said it to him, and now Lao Yu is doing the same.

Sure enough, they are all chattering teammates.

The Lakers' offensive round.

Lu Yusheng still called the pick-and-roll, but what Lu Yusheng didn't expect was that Lao Yu also circled directly behind Aaron McGee, giving Lu Yusheng a certain shooting space.

Lu Yusheng also directly pulled up and voted without any hesitation.

But...it didn't go in.

The Jazz grabbed the rebound, Lao Yu dribbled the ball quickly and counterattacked, the Jazz's substitute lineup moved at an amazing speed, and the Lakers' second team obviously had not adapted to their rhythm.

It was directly beaten by the counterattack!
McLean laughed, "It seems that everything was expected by you. The Lakers' bench lineup is indeed not the opponent of the Jazz's second team. They were beaten twice as soon as they played, and now the point difference has come to 6 points."

In the next round, the Lakers attacked, and when Lu Yusheng launched a pick-and-roll, Lao Yu still circled around to defend.

Lu Yusheng is still unwavering and confident shooting. ~
This time... the basketball spun twice around the hoop, but it still fell out...

Fuck, why is the script so different...

Of course, his teammates didn't blame him for this. After all, the opportunity came out completely.

However, the goal was missed. After the Jazz got the rebound, Lao Yu immediately made a long pass from the quarterback!
Everyone in the Lakers turned around, only to realize that Gordon Girisek, who was on the other side, had unknowingly launched a fast break!
It was too late for the Lakers to defend.

The point difference came to 8 points!
This is the power of the Jazz's bench lineup. Their fast break is too sharp, and the bench lineup of ordinary teams really can't handle it.

"Oh, the point difference is getting bigger and bigger. It seems that the Zen master may have to call a timeout quickly, otherwise the Lakers' score will collapse if this continues," McLean said.

Lu Yusheng also estimated that the Zen master would call a timeout, but unexpectedly, the Zen master still had a face as flat as a lake, and did not have any intention to call a timeout at all.

Athletes adjust themselves on the field.

After Lu Yusheng dribbled the ball halfway through, Aaron McGee still brought it up to give Lu Yusheng a pick-and-roll.

But this time, Lu Yusheng refused.

"Oh, Lu rejected Aaron McGee's pick-and-roll this time. It seems that he doesn't plan to continue to play pick-and-roll tactics." McLean said.

"I guess he just wasn't confident with his shot," Robertson said. "After all, he missed the first two shots."

But in fact, Lu Yusheng didn't think so in his heart.

Although he failed to score two consecutive goals, this did not immediately dispel Lu Yusheng's confidence in shooting.

There were too many missed two shots before the opening, which is actually normal in NBA games.

The reason why Lu Yusheng didn't want to play pick-and-roll tactics anymore was because he suddenly thought that Lao Yu's defense had never been very good.

Anyway, ever since Lu Yusheng started watching the game, the old fish Fisher's defense basically consisted of sprinting forward with fierce eyes, acting like I want to see what you're capable of, kid, and then being caught in the blink of an eye. pass.

Therefore, Lu Yusheng thought, in this case, he can use a breakthrough to solve the problem, why bother with shooting?
After rejecting the pick-and-roll, Lu Yusheng began to dribble.

As expected, Lao Yu made a stride, and Lu Yusheng started to dribble the ball under his crotch, constantly shaking Lao Yu's center of gravity.

Sure enough, Lu Yusheng found that Lao Yu's reaction was indeed a bit slow, which was basically the slowest among the NBA point guards he had played against in the past few games.

Therefore, Lu Yusheng easily passed Fisher with almost no effort.

After passing Fisher, the Jazz's teammates could only step forward to defend, and Lu Yusheng found Aaron McGee who was unguarded.

Aaron McGee made an open shot and scored!
For this ball, Lu Yusheng didn't have much sense of honor, he just felt sorry for Kobe in his heart.

Because he won five championships with Kobe, the old fish is always praised by some fans, but in fact, since 2006, the old fish's defense has regressed to this point.

With such a defensive No. [-] position, Kobe has been able to enter the Finals for three years and win the championship twice.

What if he was given a stronger No. [-] position, such as... the guy named Paul.

Alas, thinking of this, Lu Yusheng felt sorry for Kobe and the Lakers from the bottom of his heart. If the deal hadn't been rejected by the league, what kind of result would it have been like...

Of course, nothing is if.

Now, Lu Yusheng can only hope that he will grow up as soon as possible, play the role of Paul himself, and help the boss to the best of his ability to complete his pursuit of 6 or more rings.

Lu Yusheng's breakthrough won cheers from the fans, but it aroused dissatisfaction from Deron off the field.

"What is this guy doing? Can this make that rookie pass?"

Deron stood up, walked over to Sloan, and said, "Let me go."

Sloane glanced at him. "Go back to your seat."

"Why?" Deron said, "Didn't you see that Fisher has no way to restrain that kid at all."

"I told you to go back to your seat." Sloan raised his voice.

Seeing that Deron didn't move, he continued, "Sit down and take a good look, Fisher's tactical execution ability is much higher than yours."

Deron smiled helplessly, "That's right, his tactical execution ability must be higher than mine. This tactic is suitable for a defender like him who has no breakthrough ability."

"What did you say?" Mr. Sloan said angrily.

Delong didn't speak, and walked back to his seat resentfully.

Fisher dribbled the ball, facing Lu Yusheng's defense, he still planned to call a pick-and-roll.

But unexpectedly, without waiting for the inside pick-and-roll player to come out, Lu Yusheng suddenly stepped forward to defend closely!
The old fish obviously didn't expect it, he was taken aback, and immediately subconsciously dribbled the ball and turned around to protect the ball!

But facing Lu Yusheng with his back like this is exactly what Lu Yusheng wants to see the most!

After all, Lu Yusheng has the system's [Side Steal] of Payton.

And Lao Yu's ball protection is only strong enough to hold Lu Yusheng firmly behind him.

Behind him, Lu Yusheng had already seen the flaws in his ball protection. After making a fake steal from the left, Lao Yu suddenly dribbled the ball to the right!

Lu Yusheng saw the opportunity and went straight to steal it!

Lao Yu was caught off guard, the ball had already been thrown away by Lu Yusheng, he wanted to chase, but Lu Yusheng had already rushed to the fast break!
A dunk! !

Cheers!

The point difference was chased to 4 points.

"Wow, Lu's offense and defense are perfect. I feel that Fisher is not his opponent at all." McLean said.

"I didn't expect that," Robertson said, "I thought that Fisher would use his experience to suppress Lu Yusheng, who was still a rookie, but I didn't expect that it was only two rounds of suppression. Beating him on both ends of the floor is incredible."

Robertson stared at Lu Yusheng on the field, and said for a while, "This kid...is really interesting..."

In the next round, Fisher still had nothing to do with Lu Yusheng, and Lu Yusheng completely overwhelmed him both offensively and defensively.

Lu Yusheng quickly led the Lakers to tie the score and overtake it.

Deron, who was off the field, heard all the fans cheering for Lu Yusheng, couldn't sit still, and came to Sloan again.

"If you don't let me go, the score will be completely opened."

Mr. Sloan glanced at him again, his eyes were full of anger and helplessness, he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, he waved his hand, "Okay, you can do it if you want."

"See how I beat that kid," Deron said.

Sloan didn't even look at him as if he didn't hear it at all.

Just now, Mr. Sloan completely suppressed his temper.

Just a little bit, he was about to explode.

But he knew that such forbearance would not last long, and he would soon lose patience with this kid...

After the timeout, the Lakers have not sent the main lineup, but the Jazz sent Deron ahead of time.
