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

Chapter 105 [In a desperate situation]

The game came to the last 2 minutes!

The Sonics led the Lakers by 110 points 105-5.

During this timeout, Zen Master replaced Odom and Bynum again, and replaced them with the small lineup used before. The center is still Mihm, who is more mobile.

In the last 2 minutes of the game, playing this lineup was actually somewhat risky.

This lineup is too short, and rebounds are not guaranteed.

You know, when the game reaches a critical moment, rebounds are extremely deadly.

A key rebound will directly determine the direction of the game.

But Lu Yusheng also understands Zen Master's difficulties. Odom and Bynum are completely out of shape, even though they have actually worked hard subjectively.

But only subjectively.

Their poor state makes the Supersonic's three-pointer tactics too easy to make. If the Supersonics make a few more three-pointers in the next time, there will be almost no suspense in the game.

"Listen, on the next possession, don't give them any three-pointers, other than that, you have to fight for every rebound, and everyone has to fight for it, understand?"

Zen Master emphasized rebounding, which is indeed the key to determining the outcome of this game.

The game continues!

After playing again, the Lakers attacked.

triangle offense.

Lu Yusheng ran out to screen for Kobe Bryant, and after the screen, he switched defenses and became the Supersonics' No. [-] Luke Deno defending Kobe!
Walton passed the ball to Kobe immediately.

Of course, Kobe will not let go of this absolute advantage.

However, Lu Yusheng estimated that the Sonics would naturally not sit still and allow Kobe to wreak havoc on Luke Deno.

This is basically giving the Lakers points.

He concluded that the Sonics' wing players would definitely double-team Kobe.

Sure enough, when Kobe held the ball to play Lucidno, the center of gravity of Lewis and Wilcox of the Supersonics was gradually approaching Kobe.

Lu Yusheng was ready. When they double-teamed Kobe, he immediately used Aaron McGee's cover to throw away Ray Allen.

Sure enough, when Kobe entered the free throw line with Lucidno on his back, Lewis, who was closest to him, immediately stepped forward decisively to double-team Kobe!

In an instant, Lu Yusheng took advantage of Ray Allen's unpreparedness and Aaron McGee's cover, and quickly cut to the basket!

As long as Kobe passes this ball to Lu Yusheng, Lu Yusheng can score!
But what Lu Yusheng didn't expect was that facing Lewis' decisive double-team, Kobe didn't intend to pass the ball, but suddenly turned around and shot backwards!

Lewis and Luc Crednour take off and block together!
Facing the blocks blocked by two people, Kobe's body was almost in a state of reclining to the limit, and he threw the ball!
scored!

This goal instantly ignited the hearts of the Staples Center fans, and their cheers almost lifted the roof of the arena!
"My God!" Stendall exclaimed, "This ball is really unbelievable. I feel that Kobe's body seems to be completely flat in the air. Under such extreme physical conditions, how can he accurately find the ball? hoop and throw the ball in?"

"Feeling, this kind of shooting is all based on feeling," Mark Jackson said, "but what surprised me more was not the difficulty of the shot, but Kobe's physical strength. This guy is really a full-fledged physical monster. He today He used his personal ability to support the team for almost the entire game. He has scored so many difficult goals in the front. I have always said that his physical strength will be the key to this game, but he did not To think that this guy can still make shots at this level of difficulty in this situation is just incredible to me."

As for Lu Yusheng, although he was also amazed at the extreme difficulty of this ball, he was really uncomfortable.

That ball was exactly the same as the previous one. As long as Kobe passed it, he and Odom could both get easy scoring opportunities.

But Kobe still didn't pass. Of course, you can't question a scored shot. After all, he scored.

However, Lu Yusheng felt that this would somewhat disappoint his teammates.

In particular, just now he completely predicted that the Sonics would double-team and ran out of open space.

This somewhat dampened his enthusiasm.

When faced with this kind of situation next time, he might murmur a little, should he still move?
Anyway, no pass was received.

After the goal was scored, the point difference came to three points again.

The Sonics' offense!
As Zen Master expected, when the Sonics saw the Lakers put on a small lineup aimed at their three-point shooting tactics, they immediately changed their strategy and handed the ball to Wilcox to single-play Aaron McGee.

Wilcox has an absolute advantage, and he also has solid offensive skills at the basket. There is no problem with McGee alone.

But this tactic has been targeted by the Lakers before. When Wilcox is harassed by the Lakers' defense players, he will hesitate to attack and the ball is very slow.

But during the timeout just now, coach Bob Hill specially improved this tactic.

When Wilcox plays singles with the ball, except for center Mohammed, all other strikers withdraw near the three-point line, giving him enough space for singles.

In this way, it is impossible for the Lakers' wing defenders to harass Wilcox.

Sure enough, this tactic worked immediately. Facing Aaron McGee's single defense, Wilcox easily scored the ball!
The difference between the two sides returned to seven points again.

"The Lakers are uncomfortable now. Although their current lineup can limit the Sonics' three-pointers, it can't defend Wilcox's single shot at the basket. Now there is only more than a minute left. With a five-point lead, the Sonics don't really need the three-point shot so urgently, they just need to make sure they get every shot," Standall said.

"Yeah, I understand Zen Master's difficulty. To defend against a three-pointer, you can only let the opponent two points. There is no way. In fact, the key lies in Odom. If Odom is not sleepwalking today, the Lakers can deal with it very well. "

"Then what do you think the Lakers should do in this situation?"

"I can't think of it. Because of this point, the Sonics currently have an absolute advantage in tactics. I am afraid that Lakers fans can only pray for a miracle. Of course, with that man on the court, anything can happen .”

On the court, Lu Yusheng dribbled the ball and advanced to half court.

He was also thinking quickly in his mind how to break the current tactical advantage of the Supersonics.

The offense is easy to talk about, but the defense, when all their forward players are pulled out, it is impossible for the Lakers to assist in defense. Wilcox plays Aaron McGee, which is basically to send points.

There is not much time left, if this continues, the game will be lost.

Lu Yusheng gritted his teeth. In this case, I'm afraid he can only gamble!

Well, he made up his mind that when he was in a desperate situation, he might as well take a gamble and give it a try!
