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

Chapter 179

When the Spurs attacked in the next round, Tony Parker didn't even go to his teammates for a pick-and-roll, and directly faced Lu Yusheng and started to break through.

Tony Parker's speed was still very fast, coupled with the fact that he held his breath in his heart, after a few quick changes of direction, Lu Yusheng felt a little bit lost.

The nickname of the French sports car is not in vain.

Taking advantage of Lu Yusheng's unstable center of gravity, Tony Parker directly made a jump shot!

Lu Yusheng didn't completely lose his defense, he took off to block the shot!
But Tony Parker's shot was still very fast, and Lu Yusheng didn't block it.

put in!

"Boy, do you still think I can't beat you?"

When returning to defense, Tony Parker counterattacked Lu Yusheng.

"It's just a little bit close. In fact, I think I almost blocked you. It's just that your luck is really good. I will never let you make a second shot." Lu Yusheng said.

Tony Parker didn't speak.

Although Tony Parker scored the goal just now, for Lu Yusheng, his goal has been achieved.

In the next round, Lu Yusheng still challenged Tony Parker one-on-one. Since the Lakers scored consecutively for half a day, the Spurs' defense was clearly in disarray for a while, and everyone obviously hesitated.

Lu Yusheng took advantage of their hesitation and hit Parker again!
As Lu Yusheng scored Parker one after another, the home fans at the Staples Center became louder and louder.

In the past, Kobe played like this as a shooting guard, and everyone was familiar with it. Now a point guard plays like this, they really haven't seen much.

These cheers upset Tony Parker, because he knew that these cheers were for Lu Yusheng.

And the reason why Lu Yusheng received such big applause was his own 'credit'. Lu Yusheng, a rookie, got so much applause from himself.

"It's really unbelievable. The fans of the Lakers now seem to cheer every time Lu Yusheng scores a goal. Basically, I have never seen such a scene." Connor said.

"No way, this style of play is indeed attracting fans," David Robinson said, "If you think about it carefully, does Kobe attract fans more than other stars?"

Connor laughed.

"The problem now is the Spurs," David Robinson said, "Tony Parker will drag the Spurs to death if he continues to play like this. Although he basically scored all of them, after he came up, in these few rounds, the rest of the Spurs People, including Duncan, have basically never touched the ball. This is intolerable to Popovich. I now feel that Popovich will call a timeout soon to make adjustments. In fact, I also I didn't expect that Tony Parker, who is so experienced, would show such a calm performance, it really shouldn't be."

"I think Lu Yusheng is putting a lot of pressure on him. After all, Lu Yusheng is just a rookie, but he can score whatever he wants. This is unacceptable to Tony Parker. If it were anyone, I'm afraid it would be a bit superior." Connor Said.

"Yes, and I also found out from the slow motion that Lu Yusheng has been talking trash to Tony Parker. This is definitely what made Tony Parker crazy." David Robinson said.

Connor smiled and said, "Although this trick is a bit low-key, I think there is nothing wrong with it in order to win the game. After all, trash talking is also a part of the game. Those legendary superstars, which one is not a master of trash talking."

David Robinson also laughed, "Yes, there is nothing wrong with that, I hope Tony Parker can wake up sooner."

The more Tony Parker thought about it, the more angry he became. After dribbling the ball for half the court, he directly challenged Lu Yusheng.

With this shot, Tony Parker still didn't completely break through Lu Yusheng, but chose an emergency stop jumper.

Still scored!

Looking back, when Lu Yusheng singled out Tony Parker, taking advantage of the contraction of the Spurs' defense, a pass was passed to Vujacic outside the three-point line. Three points scored!
The score came to 77:73, the Lakers led by 4 points!
The Spurs requested a timeout.

Dissatisfaction was evident on Popovich's face.

"It seems that coach Popovich has run out of patience." David Robinson said.

"Popovich isn't going to bench Tony Parker is he?"

"It's unlikely." David Robinson said, "This is just a regular season, and, I think with Popovich's personality, he can fully understand Tony Parker's psychology, and the most he can do is to calm Tony Parker." one time."

Off the court, Popovich didn't curse at Tony Parker from the beginning, but arranged tactics for the defensive area.

After setting up the tactics, he patted Tony Parker on the shoulder and said, "The few mid-range shots just now were pretty good. I didn't expect that this offseason, the fastest increase in shooting is actually you. Continue."

Tony Parker was taken aback for a moment. With his wisdom, he naturally understood what Popovich was talking about.

"Hey, Greg," Tony Parker said, "that kid is annoying me, I..."

Popovich quickly waved his hand, "No, Tony, I can understand your feelings, but what I want to say is that there are some things that don't need to be proved. Do you think Stockton and Magic Johnson are singled out? Who is stronger?"

Tony Parker: "Magician, of course."

"I think so too, but do you think the gap between the two of them is only determined by the heads-up?" Popovich said.

Tony Parker nodded, "I understand what you mean."

"A legendary point guard, a leader, his honor and everyone's evaluation of him are the accumulation of championships, nothing else. Basketball is a team sport. No matter how strong you are alone, you can't solve any problems. You alone No matter how strong you are, can you be stronger than No. 24 on the opposite bench? For the sport of basketball, winning the game is the meaning of all efforts. That rookie is obviously calmer than you, and you have to reflect on it.”

Popovich didn't say anything more. In the past few years, for Tony Parker and Duncan, Popovich's violent temper could be scolded as soon as he said it, but in the past two years, the old man's temper has obviously restrained a lot. , he seems to be easily not so easy to get angry.

But for Tony Parker, even if he was talking to himself in a pleasant manner, he still felt an indescribable pressure.

And he gradually calmed down.Knowing that he was indeed a bit over the top just now, he asked everyone to turn back and run after him.

He looked at Lu Yusheng on the Lakers bench, and remembered what Popovich said just now, yes, he really fell into this kid's trap by accident, and made the Spurs very passive.

The game continues.

The Spurs serve.

Tony Parker dribbles across half court.

Directly beckon Duncan to come out to pick and roll for himself.

The pick-and-roll between Tony Parker and Duncan is basically the Spurs' signature tactic.

The strategy given by Lu Yusheng is still the same, defending from behind Duncan, forcing Tony Parker to shoot by himself.

Lu Yusheng's intention was that, in this way, Tony Parker would attack by himself and would not be able to drive the other Spurs teammates, making Popovich's timeout tantamount to calling for nothing.

But what Lu Yusheng didn't expect was that this time, Popovich had already made arrangements.

Tony Parker was faking a shot, and while he was faking it, the Spurs' wing had already screened for Ginobili.

Tony Parker passed the ball directly, and Ginobili scored a three-pointer and hit it steadily!

77: 76!

The Spurs are approaching the score!

When it came to the Lakers' offensive round, Lu Yusheng repeated the old trick, using his back to hit Tony Parker, as the tactical axis of the triangle offense, and supported in the low post. When his teammates ran out of opportunities, Lu Yusheng would pass the ball directly. When his teammates didn't run out of opportunities, Lu Yusheng fought by himself.

On the Spurs side, Tony Parker completely calmed down after the timeout, and began to play the role of his tactical core, making the Spurs' powerful system work.

The two sides began to get anxious in the second half of the third quarter, and the score staggered to lead until the end of the third quarter.

"During this time, the Lakers and Spurs seemed to be at a stalemate, and it seemed that neither of them could defeat the other at once and open the score." Connor said.

"That's true. Before the game, I predicted that the Spurs would have an advantage. The basis for my prediction was that the Spurs' overall strength is indeed stronger. You admit this, right?" David Robinson said.

"Of course." Connor said, "After all, before this game, it can be seen from the odds of both sides. When Kobe decided not to play this game, everyone basically thought so."

"Yes, everyone must think so, but what I never expected is that Lu Yusheng found an extremely weird way to break this balance, and the Spurs have never been able to solve it." David Robinson said.

"You mean backing Tony Parker?" Connor asked.

"Yes, that's right, Popovich has not been able to solve this trick until now. But if you think about it carefully, this trick is really not that easy to solve. After all, in essence, it is actually It is Zen master's triangle offense. This tactic has been used by Zen master for so many years. How can it be so easy to crack. That's why I said that Lu Yusheng, a rookie, has a bright future. The back and forth with Popovich at the level is just unbelievable," David Robinson said.

"You said... could it be the Zen master's arrangement?" Connor smiled, "Although I actually like Lu very much, but after hearing your analysis, I also think it's really amazing that a rookie can come up with such a strategy. Kind of weird."

"No, I don't think this will be the Zen master's arrangement."

David Robinson said, "If you think about it carefully, at the beginning, when the Lakers were beaten by the Spurs 13:0, Lu Yusheng came on the court. At that time, it was when the Lakers needed to score most. After the arrangement is completed, Lu Yusheng will definitely use this tactic when he plays at that time.
But after he came up, he kept using pick-and-roll tactics, and even tried to score by himself. Until the Spurs replaced Bruce Bowen, he had no choice but to use the pick-and-roll to find Tony Parker. He could only fight Tony Parker, and at the beginning, he used a breakthrough to fight, but found that Tony Parker was very fast,

When he had no way to break through, he had no choice but to adopt the method of back-up singles, but he did not expect that he discovered an unexpected miraculous effect, so I think this is definitely not the Zen master's arrangement, but Lu Yusheng's presence In the last game, what I found out after constant adjustments just happened to coincide with the principle of Zen Master's triangle offense. "

Connor nodded, "Hearing what you said, I suddenly feel that this kid is really a little scary. Of course, now that the third quarter is over, the two sides are still on a tie. Do you think it's the fourth quarter? Which team will end up winning this game?"

"Wow, this is not easy to say," David Robinson said, "The current state of the two sides has nothing to do with the overall strength gap between the two sides, because driven by the point guards of both sides, the players on both sides have reached the state of the game. In the best condition, and both sides really have no way to limit each other's deadly moves, so, in this way, in the end, I think it is still a test of the quality of the stars of both sides. What I mean is that the Spurs have Tim Duncan, There is Tony Parker, and Ginobili, but the Lakers only have Lu Yusheng, he is really good, but the problem is that in this game, he took too much responsibility, attacking, and organizing the offense, he is doing it alone, I'm a little skeptical that at the critical decisive moment, will he still have the physical strength to win? So from this perspective, I still think the Spurs have a better chance."

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, both sides knew that the decisive moment was coming, so both sides obviously increased their defensive strength, but in this case, the two sides still fought back and forth, and neither side could pull the score apart.

After missing a shot, Lu Yusheng felt that he was indeed a little tired. At this moment, he remembered that Zen master's arrangement at the beginning was indeed reasonable.

It seems that if you don't like it, you don't like it. In the future, try not to question other people's tactical arrangements.

But with the competition at this level, no matter how tired Lu Yusheng was, he couldn't give up.

He looked up at the game time and saw that there were less than 5 minutes left.

At this time, the score between the two sides was 94:92, and the Lakers trailed by two points.

The key to winning the game is whether you can limit the pick-and-roll tactics of Tony Parker and Duncan in the crucial one or two rounds.

This is crucial.

But it's not easy to do.

Lu Yusheng had already thought about the whole match, but he didn't think of a way to deal with it.

Conventional tactics must not be enough to crack the internal and external line tactics that the Spurs depend on for survival.

Therefore, Lu Yusheng thought silently, if he wanted to win, he might have to take a gamble and take some special measures! !
Otherwise, if this stalemate continues, my physical strength will decline more and more, and the Lakers will definitely fall into a disadvantage and lose this game.
