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

Chapter 144

Originally thought that without Deron, the fourth quarter would be a one-sided game, but no one expected that after the start of the fourth quarter, the Jazz would instead achieve a scoreline under the leadership of the little point guard Di Brown. overtake.

And their defense was also very good during this period, so that the Lakers basically did not score.

The momentum of the Jazz's entire team was immediately brought up by DiBron.

But at this time, the Zen master still didn't mean to call a timeout.

The game continues.

"I don't think anyone thought that in the last quarter of this game, the protagonist was not Kobe or Deron, but a kid who had never seen it before," McLean said.

"This is the charm of the NBA. You can't underestimate anyone, maybe he will explode one day."

"Is Zen Master not planning to call a timeout at this time? If this continues, the game will be difficult to talk about." McLean said.

Lu Yusheng glanced at the Zen master, but the Zen master remained calm and did not intend to call a timeout.

The game continues on the field.

The Lakers attack.

This time, after Simash Parker dribbled the ball for half court, Kobe asked for the ball directly.

Obviously, the situation just now made Kobe himself a little anxious.

After Kobe got the ball, Kirilenko still came out to defend.

Kirilenko also saw what he was going to do from Kobe's eyes, and he didn't dare to neglect, and used all his strength to defend.

Kobe made a three-threat with the ball, and Kirilenko subconsciously took a small step back.

Kobe directly pulled up and shot!
Hollow scored!

Perverted.

Lu Yusheng off the court thought to himself that such a slight shaking hardly shook Kirilenko away, and there was no room for him to make a move at all.

But anyone who has watched the Lakers knows that this guy often does this, but it is unreasonable.

Moreover, generally when Kobe does this, it is when the Lakers have lost their way.

Looking back, the Jazz attacked.

Di Brown dribbled the ball halfway, and Kirilenko continued to pick and roll for him.

With the previous two losses, this time, Simash Parker and Odom did not go around behind the pick-and-roll man, nor did they double-team, but chose to switch defenses.

This is the third way to defend the pick and roll.

But Lu Yusheng believes that this is not a good defensive strategy.

Because after the defense change, Odom will defend Di Brown, playing small and big.

For small guys in the NBA, especially those like Di Brown who are shorter than the average point guard, they must have a strong offensive ability, and the ability to play small and big is basically a bonus.

With their height, if they can't even do this, then they can't play on the NBA stage.

Sure enough, when DiBrown faced Odom, he didn't hesitate at all and started dribbling directly.

DiBrown almost used only two changes of direction, and he directly shook Odom by two positions.

Directly pull up and shoot!

This shot...

Go straight in!

Di Brown jumped up excitedly!
All Jazz players are excited!
Lakers attack!

After halftime, Kobe still wanted the ball strongly!
After getting the ball, Kobe continued to attack one-on-one!

After three threats, break to the left.

Kirilenko defended backwards, but Kobe still pulled up and shot directly!
scored!

It was still a familiar smell, and seeing the two sides start to get anxious and compete, the atmosphere at the Staples Center became more and more enthusiastic.

Staples fans love to watch Kobe compare, and they like the script of the hero returning to turn the tide.

But the morale of the Utah Jazz was not lowered by Bryant's offense.

They were gaining momentum, and DiBron still called for Kirilenko's pick-and-roll after dribbling halfway through.

This time, Smushparker and Odom obviously hesitated, defending the pick-and-roll three times, using three different methods, but all failed.

So, this time, they don't know how to defend.

Between hesitation, the thoughts of the two deviated. Odom wanted to double-team, but Smush Parker wanted to switch defenses.

With such hesitation, Di Brown directly dribbled the ball and broke through!

The two were completely thrown off!
DiBrown dribbled to the inside, and Kobe could only step forward to defend.

Facing Kobe's defense, Di Brown didn't hesitate at all, and directly threw the ball to the unguarded teammates!

Hit the shot!

"Brilliant!" exclaimed McLean! "No one thought that a small point guard who had never met before could lead the Jazz to such a level."

"This is the power of Coach Sloan. Just now Di Brown completely followed Coach Sloan's tactics. This is the effect of the pick-and-roll tactics." Robertson said. "This is why Coach Sloan hates Deron so much for not playing according to his tactics. To be honest, if Deron played according to Sloan's tactics earlier, the Lakers might not be able to compete with the Jazz at all. After all, the whole night , Kobe didn't even attack much."

"Yeah, a rookie can play such an effect in this system, let alone Deron."

McLean said, "I think the Zen master should react a little now, and should do something, otherwise it will really be detrimental to the Lakers if it continues like this."

"No, maybe not for the time being, because Kobe has stood up and he has been scoring. I think the time for Zen Master to make adjustments should be when Kobe's offense is not working well." Robertson said.

The situation on the field began to become anxious.

On the Jazz's side, DiBrown was full of passion, which fully motivated the enthusiasm of other teammates. Whether on the defensive end or on the offensive end, the whole team played as a whole.

On the other hand, the Lakers were killed, and the whole team stood up, relying on Kobe alone to attack.The Jazz are blooming more.

The most important thing is that at the defensive level of both sides, the Lakers are completely powerless against the Jazz's pick-and-roll tactics.

The reason why the Jazz keep losing points is entirely because Kobe relied on his outstanding personal ability to repeatedly hit this kind of fairy ball.

This is a completely different level, and the tactical advantages are endless, but it is difficult for you to guarantee continuous use of the fairy ball.

Lu Yusheng felt a little bad.

But what he didn't expect was that Kobe scored in a row, five in a row, without missing a single shot.

Lu Yusheng sighed secretly, this guy is really outrageous.

But in the end, as Lu Yusheng expected, Kobe's fairy ball still broke.

This is because the Jazz have significantly increased their defense against Kobe.

Anyway, we all know that your Lakers are Kobe attacking alone, without passing the ball at all, so the defensive players can double-team you without any scruples.

And Kobe is just such a player, the more he double-teams, the more ferocious he is, and the more ferocious he is.

For two consecutive rounds, Kobe didn't make a shot.

And the Jazz were invincible, without losing a single one.

Sima Parker and Odom were paralyzed by the Jazz's pick-and-roll tactics and completely messed up.

I don't know how to defend at all.

DiBron played as he wanted, whether it was a breakthrough or a pick-and-roll split, he completely revitalized the entire Jazz.

92: 86!

The Jazz lead by 6 points!
With a whistle, the Lakers requested a timeout.

The Zen master finally couldn't sit still.

"It seems that Zen Master finally lost his patience and had to request a timeout." McLean said, "With Kobe's two attacks failing, the Lakers have fallen behind by 6 points."

"As I said earlier, the reason why Phil Jackson can hold his breath is because there are players of Kobe's level on the court. Otherwise, it would have been suspended long ago when placed on an ordinary coach," Robertson said, "But you I also have to admire Kobe's personal ability is too strong. If someone else is double-teamed, it is estimated that there is no other way, but Kobe's offense continues, his personal ability is really amazing. Too strong, I dare say, Jordan was at this level when he was at his peak."

"Wow, your evaluation is really high enough," McLean said, "Since last season, many media have started to compare Kobe and Jordan's offense, but most people still think that Kobe does not have Jordan's offense. So stable."

"McLean, you know, I'm an athlete who plays on the court, and I have a different point of view from the media. Those media who write articles, I dare say, many of them have never played professionally, and there may even be some reporters who don't know how to do it at all. Playing ball, so their point of view, I don't agree with it," Robertson said.

McLean smiled, "You're talking about me. In fact, I haven't played much. Except for some basketball training in junior high school, I haven't played much since then. But I still agree with your point of view, because I also think , as far as these two seasons are concerned, Kobe's offensive ability is not inferior to that of Jordan at the peak."

"Yes, I won't say anything else, but last season's Kobe, his offensive and defensive abilities really did not lose to the peak Jordan. Besides, I have to say that when Jordan was at his peak, his teammates were obviously better than Kobe Bryant. It must be strong, so it is completely unreasonable for those media to compare the results of the team led by two people. Jordan led the Bulls alone back then, and he did not achieve very good results, and at that time he was still in the Eastern Conference. "

Robertson said, "He also waited until his own Phil Jackson and Pippen before he started to achieve results. Kobe's current state really needs his own Pippen."

McLean nodded and said with a smile, "We seem to be digressing. What you just said seems to be about the Jazz's offense."

"Yes, what I mean is that just now, under the leadership of DiBron, the Jazz fully implemented Coach Sloan's tactics and played very proactively. For other teams, this game would have been spent long ago," Robertson said.

"Then what adjustments do you think Zen Master will make when he calls this timeout, in order to compete with the Jazz?" McLean asked.

"It's very simple, limit DiBron." Robertson said, "There is only one way to deal with pick-and-roll teams, and that is to limit their point guards. They are the engine of the team's tactics, just like last year's Western Conference finals against Dallas. What Nash did was to constantly consume his physical strength, constantly use small actions to irritate him, and make Nash no longer calm. Once Nash loses its effect, the tactics will be completely dead. What is the name of Nash's substitute? That kid from Brazil."

"Barbossa."

"Yes, Barbosa, although that kid has good physical fitness, his tactical execution ability is really poor. After Nash left the court, when this kid played with the Suns, he was all the same teammates, but his combat effectiveness immediately dropped a notch. Therefore, Zen master's timeout has only one purpose, and that is to find someone to pinch DiBron, otherwise it will be very difficult for them tonight. Although Kobe is in a hot state, if they can't handle the Jazz's pick-and-roll tactics, they will undoubtedly lose. "

Sure enough, after the timeout ended, the Zen master immediately made adjustments, replacing Simash Parker with Lu Yusheng.

"Do you think you can limit Di Brown after playing on land?" McLean asked.

"It's hard to say. Although he did a good job defending Deron in the first half, Deron and DiBron are completely different types of point guards. Moreover, DiBron did not rely on pure personal ability. To play, but to implement Coach Sloan's tactics, not to say that Lu Yusheng can defend DiBron alone is enough, it depends on his restrictions on the Jazz's pick-and-roll tactics." Robertson said.

With a whistle, the game begins!
At this point, there are only 5 minutes left before the end of the fourth quarter.

The Lakers serve.

After Lu Yusheng dribbled the ball for halftime, Kobe still wanted the ball for singles.

But Lu Yusheng did not directly pass the ball to Kobe, but called him to come up and play the pick-and-roll.

"This kid Lu can do it, but he actually asked Kobe to come up and run a pick-and-roll for him." Robertson couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene.

McLean said, "It's probably the first time you've seen him, but I'm not anymore. He did the same thing in the last game, so I think Kobe should have gotten used to it."

In fact, Kobe has indeed adapted. This time he didn't show too much surprise and anger, but came directly to pick and roll him.

The reason why Lu Yusheng asked Kobe to come up to pick and roll for him in the first round is because the pick and roll between him and Kobe is almost the most threatening tactic of the Lakers at present.

Now at this time, they must quickly use their killer tactics to chase points back, otherwise, if they drag it back, the result of the game will be hard to say when it reaches one or two minutes.

Lu Yusheng and Kobe picked and rolled, the Jazz's defense suddenly fell into a dilemma, but in the end, they chose to double-team Kobe.

The reason is simple, double-teaming Lu Yusheng, they have already seen Lu Yusheng's ability to play against double-teaming in the previous game.

Double-teaming Kobe has a chance instead. After all, before the timeout, Kobe has been facing double-teaming and attacking. They bet that Kobe will not pass the ball this time and will choose to play alone.

But what they didn't expect was that Kobe shot the ball directly after facing the double-team!

And it was an exquisite ground-hitting pass, which was directly passed to the unguarded Lu Yusheng!

Lu Yusheng faked a shot, and the Jazz's inside defender immediately rushed out. Lu Yusheng took the opportunity to quickly throw the ball to Kwame Brown, who was unguarded inside!

An earth-shattering dunk! !
"Beautiful!" McLean exclaimed, "This ball, whether it's Kobe's pass when facing a double-team, or Lu Yusheng's fake pass, is too beautiful! It seems that the Lakers will start to blow the horn of counterattack Already!"

"Don't get excited too early." Robertson said, "The problem the Lakers have to solve in the suspension just now is not their offense, but their defense. It depends on the defensive round. The key to the victory of the game, we will wait and see."
