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

Chapter 138 [Bet]

"Hey, rookie, you scored two goals, don't you know where your tail is?"

As soon as Delong came on stage, the trash talking started directly at Lu Yuyu.

Lu Yusheng smiled, "Isn't your main lineup resting? Why did you come up so soon? Is it possible that you are afraid that I, a rookie, will beat you to pieces?"

"I'm not a defender like Fisher. If you want to take advantage of me, it's impossible." Deron said while dribbling, "Are you ready? I guess you will be swayed by me in a while." I can't find North."

"Then just give it a try." Lu Yusheng said.

This time he was ready and tried to defend Deron according to the trick taught by Gary Payton.

So, this time, his attention was not on Deron's body, but on Deron's toes.

Delong's previous breakthrough to Lu Yusheng was basically accurate, so he didn't take Lu Yusheng seriously at all.

"Are you ready, rookie, let me know, I'm going to pass you now." Deron was still muttering while dribbling.

Lu Yusheng ignored him, and kept his eyes on his feet.

As Deron spoke, he began to gradually change the rhythm of his dribbling.

Suddenly, he changed direction, accelerated suddenly, and broke through to the left!

This step has enough range and explosive power!

But Lu Yusheng noticed that his toes didn't change, so it should be just a feint.

So he pretended that his center of gravity leaned to the right, and then quickly moved to the left!

Sure enough, it was a fake move, and Deron quickly pulled the ball back.

But Lu Yusheng has completely blocked his breakthrough route!

This surprised Deron, he hurriedly dribbled backwards and adjusted again.

Lu Yusheng couldn't help but be overjoyed!
It seems that this trick is really useful against Delong!
He smiled and said to Delong, "I have received your notice, but you don't seem to have one."

Deron sneered, "Don't worry, it's coming."

With that said, Deron started dribbling again.

Mr. Sloan, who was off the court, watched Delong keep fighting Lu Yusheng on the court, and his face was very ugly.

After a burst of dribbling with changing rhythm, Deron once again made a sudden breakthrough to the left!

This time, Lu Yusheng saw the change in the toe of Delong's right foot!
This is going to be really sudden!

So Lu Yusheng hurriedly moved to the right.

What I didn't expect was that Deron's explosive power this time was really too fast!
Although Lu Yusheng predicted the direction of Delong's breakthrough, his body was a little slower.

Deron still passed him!
Directly pull up and shoot!

But this time, because Lu Yusheng was only a little slower, he still followed and jumped from the side to block the shot!
This ball...obviously interfered with Deron's shooting!

"Rebound!" Lu Yusheng yelled at Bynum on the inside.

I also rushed to the rebound in a hurry!

But what he didn't expect was that the ball bounced several times on the rim and finally scored.

Damn, this kid is lucky tonight.

Is this basket still the Lakers' home basket?
Lu Yusheng was a little annoyed.

After scoring this goal, while defending Lu Yusheng, Delong started talking trash once again proudly.

"What about you, kid? I said I'll hit you, and I'll definitely hit you."

On the Lakers bench, Phil looked at Lu Yusheng on the field and said to Kobe casually, "Kobe, what do you think of Lu Yusheng's defense?"

"So-so," Bryant said. "Sometimes it looks like it's ridiculously bad. A player like Wade Davis, he has almost no way to defend, but sometimes it seems to be okay. Like the last game. Heat, he can limit Wade in the final stage, this guy's defense is as enigmatic as his shooting."

Phil smiled, "Oh, Kobe, I think you are a little bit too demanding of him, after all, he is just a rookie who has just played four NBA games. With this level of defense in the first grade, I I think it's okay. At least...he looks better than Fisher, doesn't he."

Kobe looked back at Phil for a long time, then sighed, "I know, my demands on him may be a bit high, but...his defense must get better now."

"Well, you're right," Phil Jackson said, "If we want to achieve good results this season, he must be reliable, especially in defense, so..."

"So what?"

"So, can you teach him defense? I mean, you're a first-team player after all, so it shouldn't be a problem to teach him a few moves?" Phil said.

"Of course it's fine, but I'm... still watching," Bryant said.

"Observe? Observe what?"

Kobe said, "Observing his defensive routines, I have to know whether his defense can be taught well. After all, defense is different from offense. Offense can be taught, but certain things in defense cannot be taught. Yes, it's all about talent and attitude, I don't want to do useless work."

"I don't think there is a problem with his attitude. You can see it in the last game against Wade. This time against Deron, although he was a bit miserable in the front, I have already seen his adjustment. I think, the next game , it should be difficult for Deron to attack him again."

Kobe was a little puzzled, "I don't think it's possible."

"Then bet $100," Zen master said.

"What kind of gambling?"

"If Lu restrains Deron tonight, you give me one hundred dollars. If he doesn't restrain Deron, I give you one hundred dollars." Phil said.

"That's great, can I raise it? Don't pay a hundred dollars, just 100 million."

"Only one hundred."

"Please Phil, don't be so stingy, I know you sold a lot of books this summer, so you can't even afford to bet this little money, right? Unless you don't have confidence in Lu's defense at all." Kobe said.

"Then what do you mean, you don't have confidence in him?"

"Of course not." Kobe said without hesitation.

"Although Deron is a bit arrogant, he still has a few tricks. I have observed Lu's defense. He really has nothing to do with Deron. In the second half, to restrict Deron, I have to do it myself."

The Zen master smiled slightly, "Since you are so confident in Delong, then I really have to make a good bet with you. Let's do this, one hundred thousand dollars, which is quite a lot, how about it?"

"Okay, anyway, I don't think the money is too small. I won, so you can invite everyone to have a meal." Kobe said.

"I won't make any preparations, Kobe, but you, hurry up and prepare the check." Zen Master said.

Kobe pouted contemptuously.

On the court, Delong stuck to the defense all the way and made several steals, but Lu Yusheng took it easy and resolved all of them.

He didn't pay attention to the pressing defense of Deron's level at all.

"Are you going to call the pick-and-roll again?" Deron sneered, "Please, boy, show some real skills, don't use that kind of useless tactics, I will be tired if you are not tired."
