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

Chapter 161

"It seems that our analysis is correct," Mason said. "The Lakers are indeed the only one who is scoring. Once Lu stops scoring, the Lakers will immediately have no way to compete with the Rockets."

"In fact, before Kobe got injured, we always said that the Lakers would have an advantage in the fourth quarter, and this advantage is determined by physical strength." Barkley said.

"Yes, that's right."

"But when Kobe is off the court, this advantage doesn't exist much. That's because the Lakers' offense must rely on Kobe. Theirs is only Lu, but Lu played no less time than the Rockets' main players tonight, so this physical advantage does not exist."

"Then what do you think the Lakers should do next?" Mason asked.

"I don't think there is any good solution. It depends on Lu's own performance." Barkley said, "From a tactical perspective, I really think they have no chance."

On the field, McGrady once again scored against Luke Walton in the mid-range shot!

These two points allowed the Rockets to widen the point difference to 5 points!
Lu Yusheng glanced at the Zen master, and he felt that at this time, the Zen master should call a timeout.

After all, the aura that was achieved with great difficulty, if it continues like this, it will definitely be defeated.

But the Zen master sat there firmly, and didn't mean to call a timeout at all.

Lu Yusheng dribbled the ball halfway, and he made up his mind to do it himself!

Hemostasis must be scored first.

Facing Alstom's defense, Lu Yusheng began to dribble.

At this moment, Alston was already a little terrified by Lu Yu's surprise.

He had tried his best to defend the last goal, but he was still caught by this kid.

For this ball, he really lost his mind.

He has never thought that this kind of crotch dribble breakthrough is so difficult to prevent.

In his impression, this kind of breakthrough seems to be often used only by the guy named Hardaway a long time ago.

But he defended Hardaway in his old age, and he didn't seem to be so exaggerated.

In fact, as athletes get older, the power of the same move will drop a lot.

Especially for these players who are good at breakthroughs, the decline is very fast, just think about Iverson.

Lu Yusheng faced Alstom, who was already in chaos, and shook it twice, and Alston was shaken off his center of gravity like a frightened bird.

Lu Yusheng saw the opportunity and immediately broke through Alston!
The fans at the Toyota Center couldn't help booing when they saw this scene. It was really hard for their point guard not to be booed by a rookie on the opposite side.

After Lu Yusheng broke through, he still used the previous strategy, instead of going inside, he immediately stopped and shot a jump shot!

But this time, what he didn't expect was that he had just jumped into the air.

Suddenly a figure came out from the side, jumped to block the shot!
Battier!
Lu Yusheng was so focused on attacking that he didn't expect that Battier would suddenly come out, so he couldn't help but be surprised!
This ball, if you continue to shoot, may be blocked.

But at this time, if you want to pass the ball in the air, it is easy to make mistakes.

In desperation, Lu Yusheng chose to increase the arc and shoot quickly!
Before Battier's block comes, make an early shot!

The ball escaped Battier's block and drew an exaggerated arc!

Everyone's eyes are nervously staring at this ball...

This ball, scored!
Even Lu Yusheng himself didn't expect that the goal was scored!

"nice shot!"

Barkley couldn't help shouting immediately!
Mason looked back at Barkley and laughed.

"Oh, man, please, don't ever ask me again," Barkley said. "He's almost [-] points!"

Mason laughed, "Don't talk about you, even I can't even imagine Lu's performance tonight. I should have known that before this game, his shooting has always been his most unstable point. I didn't expect , Tonight he shot so accurately, the ball just now, to be honest, Battier basically covered his face, he completely lost his shooting vision, unexpectedly he scored."

"Oh, in fact, athletes are like this. When they make a straight shot, they can ignore the defense. Of course, this kind of situation rarely happens, and the probability is very low, because you have to shoot very straight in front to let the touch feel To explode, let the body be in absolute excitement, we call this absolute touch. Think about it, do we often see this kind of scene in Kobe's body?"

"Yes. I just wanted to say that Kobe often made shots like this." Mason said,
"That's right, because to do this, either, you have to have super high scoring ability, Kobe has absolute offensive means and offensive strength, or you just occasionally feel overwhelmed, and Lu is in this state now, the first half On the court, he faced Uncle Huo and the Rockets' Sura, whose defense was as bad as paper, and gradually he played with confidence and developed absolute touch, so he made such a shot." Barkley said.

"Wow, although there was an accident in today's game, Kobe was injured and left early, but the excitement was not compromised at all. I even felt that Lu Yusheng, a rookie, might break the record today. Director, yes Without technical statistics, what is the highest score of a rookie in a new season?" Mason said.

"I don't think you need to ask about this. After all, there is an ancient monster like Chamberlain in front of this data, and the data madman, Lu should not be able to enter it."

"Let me look at his statistics. Lu has now scored 36 points. If things go on like this, at least [-] points can still be expected?" Mason said.

"Forty points is definitely no problem," Barkley said. "The question now is how many points he needs for the Lakers to win this game."

"Then how many points do you think is enough?"

"At least [-] points." Barkley said, "Without [-] points, it will be very difficult for the Lakers to win."

"I agree."

"But the difficulty now is that the Rockets obviously understand this truth. They all know that Lu Yusheng has a good touch, but the rest of the Lakers don't have a touch, so they will stop at any cost to stop Lu Yusheng." Barkley said.

"That's right, just like the ball just now, Battier almost completely dropped his defender and blocked Lu Yusheng desperately." Mason said, "If this is the case, then what Lu Yusheng will face next The dilemma is only going to get bigger."

"That's right." Barkley said, "In this case, if he can really survive, then his future is really limitless. It is no exaggeration to say that he can win this game with [-] points." , then he is definitely the best rookie in this decade, even, I have never seen such potential in LeBron."

And on the court, Lu Yusheng himself is very clear about the situation he will face next. Battier completely let go of Vujacic for the ball just now, and came to block him without any scruples.

The purpose was very clear. The other Lakers teammates didn't feel it. Lu Yusheng could only attack by himself. When there was not much time left, he could let it go.

And just now after he took off, facing Battier's block, Lu Yusheng tried to find Vujacic out of the corner of his eye, but he seemed not ready to catch the ball.

"Hey man, you gotta pull yourself together!"

When returning to defense, Lu Yusheng said to Vujacic.

"Brother, go ahead," Vujacic said, "I'm really out of shape today. I didn't sleep last night."

No wonder Lu Yusheng felt that this guy was acting weird today. It turned out that he didn't sleep all night.

"FK, did you go to Xiaosha last night?" Lu Yusheng said angrily.

"Of course not." Vujacic said, "There is a game today, and I never mess around on the eve of a game."

"Then what's the matter with you?"

"I..." Vujacic sighed, "Forget it, brother, I'll tell you later."

"No, Sasha," Lu Yusheng said, "I need your help now. Next, they will definitely defend me with all their strength, so I need you to make some open shots, you know?"

"I'll try my best," Vujacic said.

Obviously, he still lacks confidence. After all, his shots in front of him in this game are indeed a bit outrageous.

But the enemy had already attacked, and Lu Yusheng didn't have time to talk to him.

Alston dribbled the ball across half court and passed the ball directly to McGrady.

After the previous duel, at this moment, Alston has completely lost the idea of ​​trying to regain face with Lu Yusheng.

After all, he had already lost too much face.

On the defensive end, Lu Yusheng has been in various ways, and on the offensive end, there is nothing to do with Lu Yusheng's defense.

At this moment, he was already disheartened.

There is no thought of regaining face at all.

He just wants to win this game as soon as possible and end it all as soon as possible.

After McGrady got the ball, he faced Luke Walton and hit it directly!
After all, Luke Wharton basically doesn't have much limiting ability for him.

McGrady made two three-threats. Seeing that he didn't get rid of Wharton, he started dribbling directly, shaking Wharton's center of gravity!
Walton knew that he was looking for a rhythm and was ready to shoot.

He played like this before, ignoring his defense at all and shooting directly.

So Luke Walton focused on blocking McGrady's shot!

Sure enough, after McGrady dribbled twice, he suddenly flipped his wrist while dribbling!
It's time to vote!
Luke Wharton immediately became vigilant, seeing McGrady stepping back slightly, flipping his wrist, about to shoot a jumper!

Wharton immediately moved forward, anticipating the jump! !

But as soon as he jumped, he found that McGrady's wrist immediately buckled when he dribbled the ball, his center of gravity moved forward, and he continued to dribble, directly passing Wharton! !

A standard Buddha!

Luke Wharton has already completely flew into the air, and there is no chance to turn back at this time.

McGrady dribbled inside and rushed in!
Bynum can only let go of Yao Ming and step forward to defend!
Although this will miss Yao Ming behind him, but at this time, he can't care so much anymore.

This is what Tracy McGrady wants. He originally wanted to pass the ball to Yao Ming.

Seeing Bynum rushing up, he made a fake shot, and after flying Bynum, he hit the ground with a low hand and passed the ball directly to Yao Ming!

But just as Yao Ming was about to catch the ball, suddenly a hand stretched out!
Just when Yao Ming was about to get the ball, suddenly a hand stretched out and snatched the ball away! !

Lu Yusheng! !

"Oh! Lu steals the ball!!" Mason yelled, "When McGrady broke through and sent Bynum flying, we all thought the ball was a solid one. After all, it was a contest between Yao and McGrady. Classic cooperation! But no one thought that Lu would suddenly come out and directly steal the ball!"

"Obviously, Lu predicted McGrady's intention to pass the ball. He must have studied the Rockets' games in depth and knew their game habits. In fact, when McGrady flew to Wharton just now, I knew that this pass , He probably wants to break through and pass the ball to Yao Ming, but I only got this feeling after watching a lot of Rockets games, Lu must have studied it before making such a prediction.” Barkley also said .

On the court, after Lu Yusheng stole the ball, he quickly dribbled the ball forward!
While dribbling, he is looking for teammates who are going down fast!
Because of the presence of Yao Ming, it was very difficult for the Rockets to defend against the opponent's fast break. At least, in those few years, their efficiency in defending against counterattack and fast break was very low.Even this lineup of the Lakers is not fast, but the Rockets still have difficulty keeping up with the rhythm of the fast break.

So with this ball, the Lakers immediately formed a situation of playing more and playing less.

Lu Yusheng didn't look at the pass, and directly passed it to Wharton on the right!
Wharton got up and made a layup!

McGrady, who came over, flew up the block directly from the side!

But Wharton put away his right hand for the layup in an instant, passed the ball behind his back, and passed it directly to Odom who followed him!

A powerful dunk! !
Shane Battier tried to block Odom from behind, but Odom jumped first, so there was no interference at all, and it cost Battier a foul!
Odom only scored two free throws in the first half, until now he broke the deadlock and scored the first sports game score, and it was a two plus one. erupted in dunk
He yelled at the auditorium twice!

The teammates also seemed very excited, and they came over to surround Odom one after another.

"The momentum of the Lakers is up." Barkley said, "Mason, if the Lakers can win this game, the ball just now is a turning point in this game, not only because this ball will tie the score, but It was he who injected morale into the Lakers players, like a clogged toilet, it suddenly became unobstructed, and Lu, it was the guy who unblocked the toilet, and then they will be able to display their due strength."

Mason smiled and said, "Although your analogy is a bit tasteful, I think you are right. Lu's steal just now is really crucial. If McGrady and Yao Ming scored the goal just now, it must be a violent one. Buckle, the momentum is completely different."

"It's getting more and more promising!" Barkley said. "Man, I'll tell you the truth, I'm a fan of his now, just like you."

Mason laughed, "When you apologize to him later, you must tell him the news. I believe he must like you as a big fan."

"Hey, Bynum, next round, you pick and roll me."

When Odom made a free throw, Lu Yusheng said to Bynum.

"it is good!"

Bynum quickly agreed!
"What about me? What do I do?" Wharton asked.

After going through the second half, Lu Yusheng led the team to complete a momentum reversal with his own strength.

The psychological shock this reversal brought to the teammates was indescribable. They trusted Lu Yusheng, a rookie, from the bottom of their hearts.

This kid can really lead them to win!
