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

Chapter 100 [Zen Master's Call]

Lu Yusheng originally thought that the game-winning shot in the last game could break his demon of shooting.

But now it seems that it does not.

Facing the opportunity to shoot, he still feels a little flustered.

The Sonics' defensive approach to him is extremely firm, just throwing shots and not letting go.

The more determined they were, the greater the pressure on Lu Yusheng.

In the following time, the Sonics players, no matter who switched defenses against Lu Yusheng, almost always followed this strategy.

Lu Yusheng hesitated, and wasted two more good opportunities to attack.

Kobe was in a hurry, "WTF! What are you hesitating about? The opportunity came up, and the ball must be thrown, understand?"

Fortunately, in these few rounds, the Lakers did not give the Sonics a chance on the defensive end.

But Lu Yusheng was still a little flustered at the moment. He even felt a little afraid that when he attacked, an opportunity would appear to him and let him shoot.

Gradually, the Zen master off the court also found that Lu Yusheng's concentration in the game had dropped significantly.

Mistakes not only appeared on the offensive end, but even the defensive end began to make some mistakes.

In this case, the Zen master had to replace him during the timeout.

The commentator Standall said, "It seems that Lu's rookie magic is over. We thought that Lu would save the team in the second half as he did in the first half, but we didn't expect that he didn't come up for a long time, because he was in bad form. was replaced."

"His magic is not over, but coach Bob Hill has dismantled it."

Mark Jackson said, "We can all see that Lu's shooting is struggling. I don't know if he has always been like this or just this game, but it has a great impact on him and the entire Lakers.

You know, he is just the brain of the Lakers team. Once he starts to hesitate, the offense and defense of the entire Lakers team will have problems. "

Standall said, "His shooting problem didn't start in this game. In fact, I also watched their last game against the Golden State Warriors. In the last game, Lu actually struggled with his shooting. Even though he hit the game-winning shot at the end."

"Really? If that's the case, it's really not good news." Mark Jackson said, "Although point guards don't often take shots, there is a big difference between having a basket and not having a basket. Almost determines your breakthrough ability.

Just like the situation that Lu is facing now, no matter how fast you are, no matter how sharp your change of direction is, you will not be able to break through if someone lets you take two big strides. "

"In this case, Mark, what do you think Lu should do?"

"There's no great way to do it," Mark Jackson said. "When the other team releases your shot, put the ball in, change their strategy, so they don't dare to let you go, it's that simple. But it takes the court to play. Hard work, shooting can be practiced."

"I still find it a little strange, because almost all the yellow-skinned players who appeared in the NBA before have a stable shot. Think about it, even a big player like Yao Ming has a stable mid-range shot. As a guard, Lu unexpectedly No shots, it's just puzzling."

"I observed his shooting just now. There is no problem with his technical movements, but he hesitates every time, so I guess, part of it may be his mentality. You must know that self-confidence is also important for the stability of shooting. plays a crucial role.”

……

Lu Yusheng sat on the court wiping his sweat, silently paying attention to the situation on the court.

He found that when he was replaced by Farmar, the Sonics immediately changed their defensive strategy. When facing Farmar and his teammates off the ball, they did not switch defenses.

This tactic was really only aimed at him alone.

He knew too well in his heart how to solve his own problems, that is hard training.

But the problem is that he doesn't have much time to practice shooting now, because once the game starts, there will be games almost every two days, and he has to fly around and do pre-game training.

This problem can only be solved during the offseason after the end of the season.

But he didn't want to be targeted by the opponent because of his shooting every game, so he could only sit on the bench and be with the drinking fountain.

"Lu, pay attention to Kobe's shooting."

Zen Master suddenly said to Lu Yusheng, "Have you noticed his shooting characteristics?"

Lu Yusheng was taken aback, Kobe's shooting characteristics?
what feature?
Kobe's shooting characteristics are hard to summarize.

Ask Comey, it must be right.

After all, Kobe faces all kinds of difficulties almost every time he shoots the ball. If there is no difficulty, he must create difficulties, more than one hit, leaning back, various fake moves, etc. In this shooting environment, he can still maintain that kind of shooting. The hit rate is of course quite accurate.

If you ask Kehei, it is of course Tiehedu.

Lu Yusheng didn't know how to answer for a while.

"There's one thing about his shot that no one else has, and that's -- he doesn't really need space to shoot, you know what I mean?" Jackson said.

Lu Yusheng shook his head.

"Look at the ball now."

On the court, as soon as Kobe received a pass from Walton within the three-point line, Ray Allen quickly posted it.

At the same time, other Supersonic players on both sides have long been eager to lean on Kobe, ready to double-team at any time.

The Zen master analyzed Lu Yusheng, "The reason why Ray Allen dared to stick so close is that he is not afraid of being passed by Kobe, and the supersonic defense players will quickly make up the defense at the first time, so in this case, you think It's difficult to get space to shoot."

Lu Yusheng nodded, that's right, when the opponent is not afraid of your breakthrough, but only of your shooting, he will cling to you, making it difficult for you to shoot.

Huh?Isn't this just the opposite of me?

However, Kobe on the field, facing Ray Allen's close defense, made a simple three-threat, directly against Ray Allen's defense... and shot...

Lewis and Muhammad on both sides also jumped up to block and interfere with Kobe!
Swish!
A hollow shot that doesn't stick to the basket!
"See the difference between your shot and Kobe's shot?" Jackson asked.

"Well, I can see that he is more accurate than me, and all three of them can block shots so accurately."

The Zen master gave him a blank look through his glasses, "This is the result, what I want you to see is the process."

"Then what's the difference between us? Can you tell me directly?"

"It seems that I overestimated your basketball wisdom." Zen Master was a little helpless.

"That's not true, you just overestimated my guessing skills, Mayfair, I like it when you tell me the answer directly." Lu Yusheng said.

The Zen master frowned, "Some things on the basketball court need to be understood with the heart. Let me tell you bluntly, the effect is completely different from your own comprehension, understand?" the Zen master said.

"Understood," Lu Yusheng said, "Then what is the difference between me and him?"

Zen master: ...

"Well, what I want to tell you is that the reason why Kobe can shoot in this situation, and the technical movement of the shot is basically not deformed because of this, is that he knows very well that Ray Allen and the other two defensemen A defensive player, it is impossible to block him."

"And the difference between you and him is precisely here, think about it carefully." The Zen master said.

Lu Yusheng was taken aback for a moment, and carefully smacked Zen Master's words.
