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

Chapter 178 Trap
When the official timeout of the third quarter came, the score came to 65:64.

The Spurs caught up with the score and completed the overtake.

The Lakers requested a timeout.

But the Spurs still have no plans to replace Tony Parker, and Jacqui Vaughn is still playing on the court.

So Zen Master still didn't plan to replace Lu Yusheng.

But Lu Yusheng feels that the current state of the Spurs may not last long with the current lineup of the Lakers.

Sure enough, not long after the game started, the Lakers were directly beaten 8:0.

The score came directly to 73:64.

The Lakers couldn't bear it anymore, and soon requested a timeout again.

"As I said before, the Lakers lineup is impossible without Lu Yusheng. Now that the Spurs are in this state, it is absolutely impossible for Lu Yusheng to fail. If not, the game will be wasted." David Robinson said.

"Yeah, the Lakers are a little too dependent on Lu Yusheng now." Connor said, "It stands to reason that these people have played for the Lakers for a long time, and their understanding and adaptation of tactics should be much higher than Lu Yusheng. How could it be beaten like this?"

"You can clearly feel that the Zen master's arrangement for them is to play a triangle offense, and in order to prevent Luke Walton from being restricted by Bowen, each of them can serve as that support point. I think this is a good idea, but The thing is, they looked like they were playing sluggishly, so I feel like Jackson was making that call."

"Yes, it looks like this, because I noticed that when Farmer stood in that position to support him, he seemed a little at a loss and didn't know what to do," Connor said.

"Yes, I had this concern when they played just now. After all, not everyone can do this kind of work. If anyone can do it, Luke Wharton can't always be in that position. They must have done it before. I haven’t practiced the tactics of everyone serving as a support point, so it must have been decided by the Zen master on the spur of the moment.”

"However, Master Zen made such an arrangement. I think there is no other way. After all, Kobe is not here. If you want Lu Yusheng to rest off the court, the others must stand up, so this is the only way we can come up with," Connor said.

"This is the current problem of the Lakers. Except for Kobe and Lu Yusheng, the level of their players is really too limited. To be honest, I feel that these players, except for Odom, are really not good enough. It is not at the passing level of the league, so if the Lakers cannot introduce a third scoring point this season, I think they will still not have much hope this season, at least, in terms of winning the championship, there is little hope." David Robinson said .

"That's right, for a team like the Lakers, or for a player of Kobe's level, not winning the championship means that this season is a failure. But, as far as I know, they shouldn't have too many players now. Good trading chips, and no high-quality draft picks, can only be traded with these existing players."

David Robinson shook his head helplessly, "Who do you think Nasmash Parker can trade for? No one would want this kind of contract for free. I think they should not think about the championship this season."

"Then which team do you think has the most championship looks this season?"

"If you want me to say, it still has to be the Spurs. I'm really not partial. Just talk about it. Now there is only Duncan and no Parker on the court. With one less outside core, the Lakers still have no power to fight back. This kind of Which other team in the powerful league has it?"

……

After the timeout ended, Zen Master had no choice but to send Lu Yusheng up.

But for Lu Yusheng, giving him so much rest time is basically enough.

The Lakers serve.

Lu Yusheng dribbled the ball halfway, but Jacqui Vaughn was still defending him.

Lu Yusheng still tried to break through him first, after all, hitting this guy with his back was a bit too exhausting.

However, this time, after changing directions twice, Lu Yusheng found that Jacqueline Vaughn didn't follow up immediately!

After Lu Yusheng made two more feints, he directly broke through Jacqueline Vaughn!

When Farmar was on the field just now, although his breakthrough did not tear through Jacqueline Vaughn's defense, it also consumed a lot of energy for Jacqueline Vaughn, and he obviously couldn't keep up with Lu Yusheng.

After Lu Yusheng broke through Jacqui Vaughn, Fabricio Oberto immediately stepped forward to defend.

Without thinking, Lu Yusheng passed it directly to Odom.

Odom was unguarded and made a direct shot!

scored!

Seeing this, Popovich immediately said to Tony Parker, "Get ready to play."

Tony Parker nodded and hurriedly got up to warm up.

On the field, the Spurs were attacking, and after Jacqui Vaughn dribbled the ball for halftime, Lu Yusheng stepped forward to defend.

Jacqui Vaughan knew that there was no hope of a breakthrough, so he didn't dribble too much, and directly lobbed it to Tim Duncan inside.

Duncan didn't play directly, but first gave Fabrizio Oberto to attract the defense.

Fabricio Oberto began to rely on hitting Odom, and Odom resisted desperately, but Fabricio Oberto was big enough, so it was really a bit difficult to rely on hitting Odom.

Luke Walton on the flank is subconsciously ready to help.

When Fabrizio Oberto attracted Luke Walton's defense, he immediately passed the ball to Tim Duncan, so that Duncan would not be interfered and defended when he hit Kwame Brown with his back.

This is what the Spurs did before, allowing Fabrizio Oberto to attract help defenses, and then pass it to Duncan, so that Duncan can focus on eating Kwame Brown alone.

This is how the Spurs have been playing for half a day. Kwame Brown has lost all confidence in being beaten by Duncan and has no temper at all.

In the playoffs last season, when facing the energetic Stoudemire of the Suns, he would not have been beaten so badly, at least he could limit it.

But facing Duncan today, he really felt a kind of indescribable suffocation and despair. When Duncan set up a formation to beat him, no matter what strategy he adopted, Duncan could easily score.

At halftime, he felt that he was about to be beaten out of the psychological shadow, and even asked the Zen master if he could be replaced appropriately, but the Zen master refused.

Zen Master believes that facing Duncan, it is even more unreliable to let Bynum to defend. At least Kwame Brown has more experience than Odom.

But Kwame Brown feels that facing Duncan in this state, there is actually not much difference between him and Bynum.

Duncan turned around and threw Kwame Brown behind him again, directly stuck Kwame Brown behind him with one hand, and shot with the other hand!

But before the ball was picked up, it was suddenly slapped off!
Duncan was taken aback, and looked down, it was Lu Yusheng! !
After Lu Yusheng made a steal, he dribbled the ball and launched a fast break!
However, the Spurs had a strong sense of defense against counterattacks, and immediately returned to defense, defending the players who the Lakers were about to play.

Lu Yusheng could only stop and prepare for a positional battle.

Dribbles to Jacques Vaughn and immediately begins to dribble across the crotch.

Jacqui Vaughn was passed by Lu Yusheng last time, so he naturally didn't want to repeat the same mistakes this time, so he lowered his focus and didn't want to be broken by Lu Yusheng again.

Lu Yusheng dribbled the ball to the right and accelerated, starting with one step!
Jacques Vaughan immediately moved quickly to the left, and stretched out his hand, intending to use his own strength to lock Lu Yusheng's body and prevent him from breaking through!

Unexpectedly, Lu Yusheng suddenly stopped, took a step back, and directly pulled up to shoot from the middle distance!

Jacqui Vaughn never expected that Lu Yusheng would shoot directly this time, completely losing his focus, and hurriedly turned around to take off to block the shot.

When he lost his center of gravity, he staggered and fell directly onto Lu Yusheng!

scored!

At the same time whistle!

Additional penalty!

The sky above the Staples Center immediately burst into cheers and applause!

The Spurs immediately requested a timeout.

When Lu Yusheng was behind by 10 points just now, after Lu Yusheng came on the court again, it immediately had an effect. If the free throw was scored, he would directly score five points in a row!
The Lakers fans suddenly fell into a frenzy!
"Oh, David, what you said is so right. The Lakers really rely entirely on Lu Yusheng to play now, but he is indeed so amazing. He can stop the decline and turn the tide as soon as he comes on the court!" Connor said with emotion , "Is he really just a rookie?"

"Yeah, this kid is really good. He can have an effect immediately when he comes up, especially the steal from Duncan just now. I feel that it is completely beyond the Spurs' expectations. They must not have thought of it, including Duncan. Lu Yusheng will appear in that position, this is what I told you, the Spurs' system is indeed very strong, but when they face this kind of player who does not play according to the routine, it will indeed be a bit uncomfortable."

After the Spurs timeout, Popovich replaced Jacqui Vaughn with Tony Parker.

But for Lu Yusheng, playing Tony Parker is a good thing. The Spurs' use of Tony Parker is to open up the offense, but on the defensive end, Tony Parker is a weakness for Lu Yusheng.

After Lu Yusheng made the extra free throw, the Spurs attacked.

After Tony Parker dribbles through half court, he starts to play a pick-and-roll with Fabricio Oberto.

Lu Yusheng still defended by going around behind the pick-and-roll players. Seeing this, Tony Parker was not polite and shot directly!
scored!

"Your shot isn't consistent."

When Tony Parker returned to defense, he suddenly heard Lu Yusheng behind him say this.

"What did you say?" Tony Parker asked back.

"I said I let you shoot on purpose. I can see that you have basically been beaten by me and you have no confidence," Lu Yusheng said, "Your shooting will become more and more unstable, and you, forever Can't prevent my back attack."

Parker sneered disdainfully, and didn't pick on this rookie.

The next round, the Lakers attack.

After Lu Yusheng dribbled the ball for half the court, Tony Parker stepped forward to defend.

Lu Yusheng found out that the Spurs no longer let Bruce Bowen defend themselves, and they also found out that anyway, Lu Yusheng would definitely find Tony Parker, so they simply didn't need to do anything more.

Tony Parker defended Lu Yusheng, and Lu Yusheng didn't make too many extra moves, and still scored with his back!
"I said earlier, you can hit you, but it's hard for you to hit me." After Lu Yusheng scored a goal, he still didn't forget to talk trash to Tony Parker.

"Shut up!" Tony Parker finally couldn't take it anymore, he couldn't stand this rookie rookie who still spat trash on himself after scoring.

Tony Parker's expression was obviously a bit annoyed. In this match, he couldn't remember how many times Lu Yusheng hit him with this move, but it seemed that he couldn't defend against any of them.

Duncan patted his head, "Hey, how are you, buddy."

"It's okay." Parker gritted his teeth and dribbled the ball across the half.

Looking back, Tony Parker used the pick-and-roll again and scored a jumper.

Seeing this, Lu Yusheng secretly smiled.

Looking back, Lu Yusheng was still using the old formula, continuing to fight with Tony Parker on his shoulder.

This time, the other Spurs players finally couldn't help defending, including Tim Duncan, subconsciously came out to help defend!

But Lu Yusheng still leaned back and scored!

"I said it earlier, you will never be able to defend against my singles." Lu Yusheng said.

"Shut your beak, please figure it out, rookie, I don't know if you made it yourself, but I just made it too." Tony Parker couldn't help but retorted.

"But our way of scoring is completely different. I hit you directly, but you can't. The reason why you can still make it is because you always call people pick and roll. It's not a response. It's a very unskilled approach." I don't even bother to block you if you score enough points," Lu Yusheng said.

Tony Parker fell silent.

When it was the Spurs' turn to attack, Tony Parker still relied on pick-and-roll jumpers to score.

This time, Lu Yusheng really didn't even stretch out his hand. Although he had completely bypassed the pick-and-roll and had time to interfere with Tony Parker's shot, he just watched Parker shoot without even stretching out his hand.

"What is this kid doing?" Kobe asked a little angrily.

The Zen master laughed, "This kid really has a trick, I think, your Ferrari is doomed."

Kobe was taken aback, "Do you think we have a chance?"

"There is a great chance," Zen Master said with a smile, "I wasn't so confident at first, but this kid's operation just now made me feel that there is a good chance."

"why?"

"He's trying to make the Spurs uncomfortable," Zen Master said with a smile. "He has found a breakthrough to win the game, and he is ready to buy a car."

Kobe: ...

The Lakers attack.

Lu Yusheng still ate Tony Parker alone with his back. This time, he clearly felt that Tony Parker defended harder.

Lu Yusheng laughed secretly, he was finally a little irritated by Lu Yusheng, and his movements became a little louder.

The commentator Connor said, "Hey, have you noticed that the two ball-handling positions on the field seem to have soared in points, and they seem to be competing with each other."

David Robinson frowned slightly, and said, "Tony Parker is...not very good."

"Why?" Connor asked puzzled. "Lu Yusheng beat him so much as a rookie. As a senior who has already become famous, wouldn't it be good to find two back?"

"No, that's not the case, Connor." David Robinson said, "This is not a good thing for the Spurs. Instead, it fell into Lu Yusheng's trap."

"Trap? Why?"

The reason why the Lakers can always play singles like this is because they are facing the Spurs. Without Kobe, there is no better way. This is the best way.

But the Spurs are different. The Spurs are a stronger team with a better tactical system and integrity. If Tony Parker is also obsessed with saving face and playing like Lu Yusheng, it will be tantamount to sacrificing the Spurs. The overall strength has forced the Spurs and Lakers to the same level. "

Connor suddenly realized, "No wonder Lu Yusheng, who is usually low-key and humble, started talking trash to Tony Parker. This is why!"
