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

Chapter 141

The Zen master off the court smiled, "How is it? Kobe, can I get [-] from my [-] dollars now?"

"Hey, come on, Phil, it's not halftime yet, so where is it going?" Kobe said, "Do you think he was able to defend Deron if he stole a ball by luck?"

"Oh, I don't think it was a fluke." Zen Master said, "If you observe carefully, you should be able to see that Lu's defenses these few times basically predicted the direction of Deron's breakthrough. I don’t think this can be done by simple fluke.”

"No, Phil, don't forget, I'm the athlete. I know it's impossible for a player to master the skills of defending a rhythm-type breakthrough player in a short period of time. It's impossible. I'm just relying on my own experience. Do you think he can do it as a rookie?"

Zen master smiled, "Who was not an athlete before, don't forget, when I was playing, I also had a championship."

"Come on, Phil, how many teams did you have back then."

"No matter how many teams, I am indeed an athlete. Even if I don't play now, I can see the defensive ability and potential of an athlete.

Don't forget, in the last stage of the last game, he restricted Wade very well. Not only did he gain a lot of physical strength for you, but he also made Wade lose his composure. In that game, he did a lot for you thing. " said the Zen master.

"For me?" Kobe glanced at Zen Master, "Everyone is for victory, how come it becomes doing things for me?"

Zen master smiled, "Come on, man, how long have I known you before I know what you're thinking? If there's one game you have to win this season, it's against Shaq."

Kobe smiled, "Don't you want to win? When he left, he said a lot of bad things about you."

"I've talked about it in my autobiography, and I don't care too much," said the Zen master.

"Stop talking to me about your damn autobiography, you blacked me out in the book," Bryant said, "I have to tell you, I got really mad after seeing your descriptions, we all Clearly, that's not true, you lied to everyone!"

"Never mind, it's just to sell books." The Zen master laughed.

"I can understand that, the question is when will the money arrive?"

"what money?"

"The money from selling books." Kobe said, "I don't mind if you fabricate my black material to sell books, shouldn't you give me some remuneration?"

"Okay," Zen Master said, "When I came last season, we shook hands and made peace, didn't we? Let's not talk about it now. The royalties are fine. I'm here to bring you a championship. Isn't it?" said the Zen master.

"You old fox," Kobe laughed, "I'm just kidding, I don't care about that shit, I just want to win the championship, I haven't talked to you about it this season, do you think we Are you sure about the season?"

"There is hope." Zen Master said, "But until the middle of the season, we will see how Lu grows."

"You guys really going to trade him?" Bryant asked.

Although he had heard some rumors from the Zen master before, he was still a little surprised when the Zen master said this.

Zen Master looked back at him, "Isn't this a good idea? If he can exchange for Yao Ming's level of insiders, our triangle offense can be perfectly implemented, and then the championship is just around the corner."

"What about our 1?" Bryant asked, "We haven't had a decent [-] in a long time since Fisher left, don't you think Lu can't grow into the [-] we need? "

"Of course not." Zen master said, "In fact, with his current level, he can almost meet our requirements for point guards."

"That's it. We sold the number one position for the fifth position, isn't it the same?"

"But the problem is, Kobe, our triangle offense doesn't have high requirements for the point guard position, you know that, but our requirements for the fifth position are very high, we need a big man who can handle it , This is our tactical axis, which is why we pursued Yao Ming in the first place, and the position of point guard, in fact, I have already arranged."

"Arrangement?" Kobe asked unexpectedly, "What arrangement?"

The Zen master glanced around, and then whispered, "At the beginning, I talked with Fisher, he can come next year. You know, Fisher's level is completely enough for our triangle offense, and, he You have played with us for so long, and you are fully familiar with the triangle offense. Moreover, this season, the growth of Odom and Bynum is visible to the naked eye. With you and Fisher, plus a big man who can cope, this season, The championship is right around the corner."

Kobe was silent, did not answer, and silently watched Lu Yusheng on the field.

"I know, Kobe, you are a bit pity on your talents, and you are a bit reluctant to part with him. Why don't I think this way? In fact, after seeing the results of this year's management, I basically don't report anything to this season. I hope, we have been working for so many years, we can basically tell if we have the strength to be a champion, just by looking at the lineup, right?"

Kobe nodded.

"It was Lu, this kid's brilliant performance that made me rekindle my hope for this season,

To be honest, I really appreciate him in my heart. Moreover, he is full of talent at the point guard position, organizational ability, dribbling ability, including defensive ability,
Even, his training attitude is really similar to yours. You have no way not to like such a rookie, but for the championship, you have to make some sacrifices,
Besides, letting him go to a developing team is better for his growth. After all, in our team, he will not have too much ball and shot rights, and you know, This is still very important for a newcomer.He can get a lot of experience on those teams..."

"Phil," Bryant interrupted, "this... I think let's put it aside for now. Maybe, I mean maybe, by the middle of the season, we'll change our minds."

The Zen master was taken aback for a moment, but then smiled again.

On the court, facing Lu Yusheng, Delong continued to dribble the ball, constantly changing the rhythm of the dribble.

McLean said, "Deron's last breakthrough still failed. Do you still think that Lu was able to defend Deron because of accident?"

Robertson smiled, "I thought so at first, but now, I do have some doubts,

The main reason is that Lu's defensive ability is really ups and downs. Before, he almost had no way to take Deron's breakthrough, but it seems that suddenly, he found a way to defend Deron. McLean, you know, this is very important for athletes. It is an unbelievable thing, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really couldn't believe it, but what should I do, this kid Lu seems to have really done it. "

While changing the rhythm, Delong observed Lu Yusheng's defensive position.

Suddenly, he noticed that Lu Yusheng's center of gravity was shifting to the right, and without hesitation, he immediately accelerated to the left!
This step accelerated extremely fast, almost half a body ahead of the successive students!
But it's still a feint.

Delong decided that this time Lu Yusheng would throw himself desperately to the left.

Because no one can see through his fake moves.

This kind of fake action is almost his trump card. Although it consumes a lot of body and knees, its power is also astonishing. Basically, there is no one who can't beat it.

Because the breakthrough in the first step is very explosive, and it will almost be half a body ahead of the opponent. In this case, the opponent will definitely have the illusion that he has been passed, so he will chase and defend desperately.

In this case, the opponent will never expect that you will break through to the right again with a sharp stop and pull back.

But again, this trick, because the sudden stop and quick start is too intense, will cause great damage to the knees, so Deron will basically not use this breakthrough method unless he has no other choice.

Even when facing Kobe just now, he didn't use this trick.

But at this moment, he had already been defended by Lu Yusheng several times in a row, and one of them was directly intercepted.

This made Deron lose face.

So this time, he must get rid of Lu Yusheng cleanly.

But what he didn't expect was that when he pulled the ball back and planned to break through quickly...

Lu Yusheng, who he thought had been thrown thousands of miles away by his fake action, appeared in front of him like a ghost again! !

Deron was shocked!

how is this possible? ! ! !
This guy……

How could he appear here...

How could he not have taken that feint? ?

For a moment, surprise and incomprehension rushed into Delong's heart at the same time.

He didn't even notice that Lu Yusheng's hand had already slapped the basketball...

Snapped!
When he woke up and reacted, the ball had already been broken by Lu Yusheng!
This time, he hurriedly turned around to chase after him, but unexpectedly, his feet went limp, and he suddenly fell to the ground...

He could only watch as Lu Yusheng dribbled the ball past halftime, and another earth-shattering dunk! !
This dunk instantly ignited the Staples Center fans!
Everyone screamed and cheered for Lu Yusheng!

Deron competed with Lu Yusheng throughout the entire game, and the fans naturally saw it, especially Deron's various arrogant performances after the start, which made the Lakers fans deeply dissatisfied. Now we can see that Lu Yusheng is in a direct match with Delong They almost beat their opponents in the middle, so they were naturally elated. While cheering for Lu Yusheng, they also did not forget to boo Delong.

beep~
The referee whistles!

The Utah Jazz have requested a timeout!

"The Jazz had a problem with their offense during this period, which caused the offense to be unfavorable, so Sloan called a timeout in time." McLean said, "Let the players go off the court to adjust."

"No, it's not that there is a problem with the Jazz's offense. To be precise, there is a big problem with Deron Williams' mentality," Robertson said, "We can clearly see that the previous steal made Deron His mentality was obviously out of balance, and he began to rush to break through Lu Yusheng to save face, which resulted in the current passive situation."

"While this is an objective fact, I think it's a bit unfair for you to say that," McLean said.

"Oh why?"

"I think the main reason why the Jazz are so passive now is that Lu Yusheng's defense against Deron is getting better and better.

If the previous steal was luck, then the series of defenses behind him, including the steal just now, are enough to show that it was not luck, but that he really found a way to limit Deron,
I think this is the main reason why Delong's mentality is out of balance. He couldn't accept Lu Yusheng who was casually broken by him in the first quarter, and completely restricted him to death in a very short period of time.I think what you said is a bit unfair to Lu Yusheng. After all, he has played really well during this time. said McLean.

Robertson smiled, "You're right, don't say that Deron can't accept it, even I can't accept this reality. This kid Lu found a rhythmic breakthrough that limits Deron in a very short period of time. The player's method, this is really incredible, I have to say, this kid is really unbelievable."

"I don't know what kind of tactics Coach Sloan will deploy during this timeout." McLean said.

"The main thing is to let Deron wake up, which is very important." Robertson said, "You know, since Deron came on the field, he has basically not organized any tactics, and the other teammates are basically standing. Accompanying him to run back and forth, this is definitely not possible, but fortunately it is only the second quarter, and there is still a chance to adjust." Robertson said.

He is still considering adjustments, but on the Jazz's bench, Sloan has completely exploded.

"FU!! What kind of shit are you playing?!! Is this how your college coach taught you to play?? You don't organize a point guard or a tactic, let your teammates play heads-up with you back and forth Bar?"

"Do you still have teammates in your eyes? Do you still have my coach?! Is there any team?!"

Delong lowered his head and said nothing, just wiped his sweat silently.

The other teammates stood aside, also very silent.

In their hearts, they naturally supported Sloan. After all, they were purely playing back and forth with him.

But everyone knows that Deron is the darling of the team. Naturally, no one dares to help the coach to criticize Deron at this time.

Assistant coach Barnes was on the sidelines persuading Coach Sloan, but Coach Sloan had already been blown away by Deron's operation on the field just now, and he couldn't listen to any advice at all.

"You can't even beat a rookie, why are you still here fighting me one-on-one? If I were you, I would find a place to die right now!"

Deron raised his head, these words stimulated him.

His eyes were on Coach Sloan.

"What are you looking at?!" Sloan said angrily.

"What are you talking about?" Delong said calmly, but anger was already burning in his eyes.

Since entering the team, he has been enduring the gray-haired old man in front of him, no matter how much he scolds him and sprays him, he just laughs without saying a word.

But now, he doesn't want to bear it anymore.

When Sloan heard that Delong was fighting back against him, he walked directly towards Delong without saying a word.

Everyone can't help but get nervous!

"Didn't you hear what I said?"

Sloan smiled, "Okay, then I will tell you clearly again, put away your damn singles, you are not a player like Kobe at all, your singles level is simply weak , even a rookie can beat you all over the place, so stop being embarrassing and give me a good strategy!"

"This time, do you hear clearly?"

Sloan's angry face was almost on Deron's.
