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

Chapter 156

Lu Yusheng stared closely at Alston's dribbling, trying to figure out his dribbling pattern and breakthrough intention.

But Alston's dribbling really has no rules to follow.

He didn't even do a crotch dribble, just a simple change of direction in front of his body.

Suddenly, Alston dribbles to the right!
Lu Yusheng's center of gravity hastily moved to the right, but Lu Yusheng reckoned that this should be just a test, so he left some room and didn't go all out to pounce.

Sure enough, after Alston dribbled the ball to the right, he immediately pulled it back to the left!
This sudden pull to the left shocked Lu Yusheng, it was really like lightning, faster than any defender Lu Yusheng had defended before!
Lu Yusheng only felt a shadow flash by, and Alston had already left half of his body!

Moreover, it is obvious that they have made an intention to break through to the left!

Lu Yusheng hurriedly moved to the right to defend, trying to block his breakthrough route!
After all, he didn't rush with all his strength just now, but he still left a margin for himself.

Alston was also slightly startled, he didn't expect that Lu Yusheng would cover up the defense quickly, and quickly blocked his breakthrough route!
Lu Yusheng was glad that he had spared just now, otherwise this time would definitely be overwhelmed!
However, what he didn't expect was that just when he was about to block Alston's breakthrough route, Alston suddenly made an indirect back turn to the right!
This is a standard street ball action!

In the league, there are only streetball stunts that Francis, Marbury, Nick Young, and Ke Lu occasionally show off.

Lu Yusheng really did not expect that Alstom would use such a trick at this time, and his technical movements were seamlessly connected!
Most people will break through to the left and then turn to the right, which is a difficult technical movement, and there will be a sense of stagnation, because the ball needs to be lifted and turned around. Such a large-scale movement will definitely have a short pause, which is difficult for the defense. Players have some room to react.

But Lu Yusheng found that when Alston was doing this movement, he almost had no sense of stagnation at all, and it was done in one go, flowing smoothly!

This is the street ball kung fu he practiced before.

This time Lu Yusheng was completely in vain!
Alston passed Lu Yusheng coolly, and even Lu Yusheng didn't even have a chance to make up the defense, because he was completely thrown away.

After Alston broke into the inside, Vujacic stood up to defend!

Alston passes the ball to McGrady!

Vujacic immediately reached out to intercept.

But I didn't expect that it was just a fake move. After Alston tricked Vujacic with a fake move, he directly juggled a crotch hit pass to the inside Yao Ming without anyone noticing it!
Bynum didn't even realize it. After Yao Ming received the ball, he directly made a powerful dunk!

"Wow!" Barkley laughed, "Did you see that, Mason, this is the kind of point guard I like. Have you seen that sharp breakthrough? Have you seen that unpredictable pass? I like point guards like that."

Mason said, "Come on, he just made a good pass, you can't exaggerate like that?"

"But he completely passed Lu, directly matched up, and passed cleanly. Isn't that amazing?" Barkley said.

Mason smiled, "Dude, have you forgotten that just now, Lu Yusheng also passed Alstom cleanly, so this is at best a tie?"

"No, no, no, Lu's dribble is not as thorough as Alston's. I mean, Lu passed Alston's ball just now. In fact, Alstom was only a little short, and there is still a chance to make up for it. , but the reverse is different, Als passed his ball, and it was a clean and thorough pass, Lu has no room to make amends at all, you understand what I mean?"

"I know what a fart." Mason said, "Isn't it all over in essence? Alston has room for redress, so why doesn't he make remedies? Doesn't he want to? Dare to say that he is not prejudiced."

"Of course it's not prejudice. Let me tell you, although their ecstasy just now has the same effect, the difference is really big."

"Sorry, what's the difference?" Mason asked.

"The difference is that in the next round, Alstom can definitely defend against Lu, but it is absolutely impossible for Lu to defend against Alston." Barkley said confidently.

"Really? I've heard your baseless assertion several times before. I believe the fans in front of the TV have been tired of hearing it. They are impatient. When will your assertion be more accurate? said Mason.

"Immediately, right now, just watch."

On the court, the Lakers attack.

Because of Lu Yusheng's goal just now, Master Zen didn't even plan to call a timeout.

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

This time, Lu Yusheng still didn't call for the pick-and-roll, and prepared to play it himself.

His idea is not like McGrady, if the opponent hits one, he must fight back.

It's just purely because the Rockets' first team defense is really good, and the other Lakers teammates have no chance to attack even if they get the ball.

He can only come by himself!

And after Alstom was passed by Lu Yusheng with Delong's large-scale frontal change of direction just now, this time he was mentally prepared in advance, and he must not be deceived!

Therefore, Alstom's center of gravity is lower when defending.

Lu Yusheng started to dribble, but it was still the exaggerated change of direction of Delong's hand just now!
Lu Yusheng suddenly dribbled the ball to the right!
But Alston knew that the previous dribble must be a fake move, so he just moved his upper body slightly to the left, and was going to steal the ball when Lu Yusheng finished the fake move and pulled to the left!

It is impossible for Alstom to fail to see that Lu Yusheng's move is a trick from Deron Williams. This move has a fatal weakness, that is, it is always changing the direction of the dribble in front of the body, and does not dribble through the crotch or behind. It is very easy to be intercepted.

When your rhythm is grasped by the opponent, it is easy for the opponent to reach out and steal the ball.

Alston went to the right to close in advance, preparing for Lu Yusheng to steal the ball immediately if he changed hands to the left!
However, the moment he moved to the right, something that surprised him happened...

Lu Yusheng didn't pull back to the left. The moment just now was not a fake move, but a direct breakthrough!

Alston was dumbfounded. He had already changed his center of gravity, and because he wanted to steal the ball, he had to use some force to withdraw his center of gravity.

At this moment, if you want to chase and defend, it is already too late!

Just like before, Lu Yusheng's breakthrough this time also completely left him behind!

After Lu Yusheng passed Alston, he still still made a quick stop jump shot!

Because the Rockets' Battier and Tracy McGrady's supplementary defense is really good, and there is still Yao Ming inside, and there is only a dead end to go inside.

This goal is still scored steadily!

"Oh, Barkley, what do you say about this ball?" Mason said, "Is there still room for Alston to make up for this ball?"

"Forehead……"

Barkley was slapped in the face on the spot and could only smile dryly.

"Didn't you just say that the difference is that Alston can defend against Lu in the next round? It seems that there is no such thing, and Lu didn't even use any feints, and just passed it in one step."

"Okay," Barkley said with a smile, "Actually, I wanted to create a little mental difficulty for Lu. In fact, this kid is indeed talented. He suddenly changed his breakthrough strategy just now, which caught Alston off guard. "

"You bastard." Mason laughed. "It seems that the scene that I and the fans in front of the TV are looking forward to is not far away. Our NBA star Barkley wants to apologize to a rookie on the spot. When the time comes, the cameraman must The whole process was carefully photographed, and we divided it into more than a dozen episodes and played it repeatedly for a whole year."

"Hey, hey, come on, man, the Lakers haven't won yet, isn't it a bit too early to celebrate in advance?" Barkley said.

"It's not too early, now let you prepare mentally in advance, so as not to be embarrassed for a while."

Lu Yusheng was secretly happy, but it wasn't because he changed his strategy just now, caught Alstom by surprise, and simply passed Alston by him.

Lu Yusheng was very happy. His shooting tonight was very stable. So far, he has almost never missed a ball in the pull-up jump shot.

This was something he hadn't even dared to think about before.

I don't know if it was the result of the recent emergency training, but Lu Yusheng felt that another possibility was that the attack from the front gave him great confidence.

As Kobe said, confidence in shooting is very important.

And after Lu Yusheng played this game, he faced Uncle Huo. He had several steals and dunks in a row, which made him instantly confident, so the subsequent shots were so stable.

It seems that in future games, it is very important to play with confidence after playing, and he must pay attention to it.

After Lu Yusheng scored the ball, he immediately returned to defense.

But unexpectedly, the Rockets suddenly requested a timeout.

Van Gundy was very dissatisfied with the performance of the Rockets' main lineup on the court just now.

He sent the Rockets' main lineup up at the beginning of the second quarter with a clear purpose, which is to quickly catch up and widen the point difference while the Lakers' bench lineup is on the court.

But who knew, the score was stalemate instead, which he couldn't accept.

After all, the Lakers' main lineup has been resting all the time, and in the second half, they will have ample physical strength.

"Raff, what are you doing?" Van Gundy directly accused Alstom, "Is it difficult for you to limit a rookie?"

"Coach, I have already..."

"Please don't quibble," Van Gundy said unceremoniously, "You shouldn't have been passed by him at all for the ball just now. I think you know why you were passed by him. It was because you moved the ball This is why I lost my center of gravity! Don’t think I can’t see it!”

When Van Gundy mentioned this, Alston naturally had nothing to say. After all, he also knew that it was because he had the idea of ​​stealing the ball just now that Lu Yusheng passed it by.

"I don't need you to steal, I just need you to stay in front of him, don't let him score so easily, it's that simple! Got it?!"

Alston nodded silently, feeling extremely annoyed. Van Gundy was very dissatisfied with him this season, but now he is reprimanded by the coach in front of the whole team because of a rookie. It is really embarrassing.

He secretly made up his mind that this place must be brought back!
As for the Lakers, Zen Master praised Lu Yusheng's performance during this period.

After all, Lu Yusheng led the bench lineup and had a stalemate with the Rockets' main lineup for 4 minutes. In addition to the second half of the first quarter, they gave the main lineup a full seven or eight minutes of rest. of.

But Lu Yusheng hardly responded to the Zen master's praise, and his expression was very indifferent.

"Okay, then you take a break, Kobe, you guys are ready to play."

Zen master finally decided to send the main lineup.

"Zen Master finally deployed their main lineup." Mason said, "At this time, the Rockets' main lineup has been on the court for 4 minutes. It can be said that the strong performance of Lu, a rookie, won enough for the Lakers' main lineup. time off. Barkley, I'm okay with that, right?"

Barkley smiled, "Of course, there is no problem at all. For NBA-level games, a 4-minute break is simply precious. And, I have to say, this is indeed created by that kid. Not in the Rockets' plans."

"I think maybe Van Gundy can consider replacing Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady to lead the team to play, and use their rotation to get rest, otherwise they may really have no energy when it comes to the decisive moment in the second half." Mason said.

"That's right, Van Gundy must have a big head now. He joined the main lineup too early and failed to achieve the desired effect. Instead, he laid the groundwork for the next game. He can only find a way to let Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming take a rest. But one of them must be on the court, if they dare to rest at the same time, they are likely to be taken away by the Lakers." Barkley said.

The game continues.

The main lineups of the two sides meet again!
Lu Yusheng sat on the sidelines and silently wiped his sweat.

Vujacic patted him on the shoulder, "Congratulations, rookie, 24 points, this is your new high score! And it is very likely to break through 30 points tonight."

Lu Yusheng was taken aback for a moment. He really didn't expect that he had already scored so many points tonight.

Scoring had always been his weakness in technical statistics before, and Meng Xia even specifically asked him to score more points this time, but he did not expect to do so.

Cool!
"Brother, you are really talented. You know, I've played for so long and scored [-] points in only one game."

Vujacic's eyes were full of envy.

You know, when he first entered the NBA, he was also full of confidence, thinking that he could become a superstar, and he could score [-] points per game.

But after playing two games, he basically gave up on this naive idea. The physical gap is too big. He clearly understands that no matter how hard he tries, it will be very difficult for him to win a game with [-] points. difficulty.

And the kid in front of him easily obtained this statistic in just five games. He is really popular.

Zen master sat on the court with a smile on his face. He knew that the game had been won.

You know, because of the broadcast contract, the Lakers desperately need a record this year, and as the coach with the highest annual salary in the league, Zen Master, if he can't even do this, even if he has the identity of Jenny Buss' boyfriend, the coaching position is also worthless. very hanging.

Old Buss turned his face and turned his back on people.

Therefore, every victory in the regular season is very important, and in his plan, the games against the Heat and the Rockets are not sure to win, especially against the Rockets, the two sides are evenly matched, and they will definitely fight to the death. It's the decisive moment.

But now, the Lakers' main lineup has sufficient physical strength, and it is not a problem to win this game.

But what he didn't expect was that an accident still happened...
