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

Chapter 143

The third quarter is over.

The Lakers entered the fourth quarter with a 76-point lead at 70:6.

In the third quarter of the game, Deron stayed on the bench and was not replaced by Coach Sloan.

McLean said, "It seems that everything is what you said. In this game, Coach Sloan may really not plan to replace Deron."

"Then I guess the Jazz will have enough of this game," Robertson said. "Without Deron, it may be difficult to win the Lakers. But there is no way. A victory in the regular season is actually not that important. For Deron, the majesty of the coach is obviously more important."

"I think the fans at the scene and in front of the TV probably don't want to see the game lose its suspense early. After all, the game was very exciting in the first half. Let's see if Deron has any hope of playing in the fourth quarter. "

With a whistle, the fourth quarter of the game began.

But everyone found that Deron was still put on the bench by coach Sloan and did not let him play.

Everyone noticed that Deron's place was replaced by a somewhat unfamiliar player.

He is also a defender, very short, less than 1.9 meters.

The player who was replaced was named Dee Brown.

A backup guard for the Utah Jazz.

Like Lu Yusheng, he is a rookie this year and was selected by the Utah Jazz with the 46th overall pick.

But at the beginning of this season, he hardly got a chance to play. After all, there are two point guards in the team, Deron and Fisher. It is really not his turn. Moreover, he is indeed a bit too short. The old man puts a lot of emphasis on defense, so he was basically not sent on the field.

Today is also catching up. Deron was hidden by the coach because of his conflict with coach Sloan. Only then did he have the chance to play for a quarter of the game.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter on the Lakers side, Zen Master did not send Lu Yusheng, but still Smash Parker.

This made Lu Yusheng a little puzzled. After all, it was Lu Yusheng's turn to play at this time in the usual competition.

He looked at the Zen master, but the Zen master didn't explain anything to him.

Lu Yusheng didn't intend to ask him either, he still had some concerns about this old guy.

"Sloan and Zen Master used the No. [-] position in the fourth quarter, which surprised us all," McLean said. "The Jazz did not use Deron, and the Lakers did not send Lu."

"It's not difficult to understand. As I said on the Jazz side, Sloan will definitely not let Deron play again in this game. As for the Lakers, Smush Parker is the starting point guard after all. Let him play. Any questions?"

Macklin laughed and said, "You don't know this, probably because you haven't watched much of the Lakers' games this season. In fact, Smush Parker is now completely a fake starting point guard. The Lakers' first few games At the critical moment, Lu Yusheng came to play, and now Smush Parker hardly has playing time."

"Then I guess, it may be that Master Zen thinks the game is stable, so there is no need to make too many adjustments, or he feels that the real decisive period of this game has not come yet." Robertson said.

"Then what do you think, when neither Lu nor Deron is present, which side has a better chance of winning?"

"Needless to say, it must be the Lakers," Robertson said. "The Lakers have Kobe, and the Jazz have lost their star."

"But Kobe's desire to attack tonight is not high."

Robertson smiled, "This is the crux of the problem. He didn't attack much tonight, mainly because the score has always been in the lead, so even if the Jazz can make waves, with Kobe here, what's the matter?" So scared?"

The game continues.

Jazz ball.

Their new linebacker, Dee Brown, dribbles across half court.

Lu Yusheng knew him, and met him in the summer league, but they didn't fight directly, so Lu Yusheng didn't know his strength.

However, he didn't play for a second in the first three quarters. Lu Yusheng estimated that his level should not be too strong.

After halftime, Smash Parker began to go up to defend.

Dee Brown didn't hesitate and called the pick-and-roll directly.

Inside Boozer comes out to pick and roll for Dee Brown.

Smush Parker chooses to circle behind Boozer.

Facing the gap, Dee Brown took off and shot directly!

This is a three-pointer, even one step away from the three-point line.

The ball bounced on the rim and went in!

This made Lu Yusheng a little envious. Why are their shots so confident and accurate?
This guy didn't fight for a second tonight. It is said that his body is not hot, and his condition should be not very good.

But I didn't expect that this kind of ultra-long three-pointer can be directly opened, which is simply unbelievable.

Why is it so difficult to get to him?
The Lakers attacked, Smush Parker dribbled the ball halfway, handed it directly to Luke Walton, and started a triangle offense.

But the Lakers' triangle offense actually didn't achieve much tonight, because Kirilenko's restrictions on Walton were almost like a shadow, and Luke Walton had a hard time even passing the ball.

This time, Kirilenko defended Wharton even more viciously, and even tried to take the ball from behind. If Wharton was not vigilant, he would have almost been cut off.

Luke Walton held the ball in fear and had no way to organize.

The Zen master off the court shook his head repeatedly when he saw this scene. He really used enough of Wharton's tactical axis.The opponent's third position has a little wingspan and strength, which can almost restrict him to death.

Going on like this is not an option.

Thinking of this, he turned his head and looked at Lu Yusheng thoughtfully.

Lu Yusheng noticed this gaze from the corner of his eye, and when he turned around, he saw that it was the Zen master staring at him.

"There is no suspense in this game. I think, let Parker play for a while. You were tired from playing the last game. Take a rest." Zen master said.

Lu Yusheng nodded lightly.

On the court, the Lakers' attack really failed. Odom ran out of position, but when Luke Walton wanted to pass the ball for the first time, Kirilenko's long arm blocked his passing route In the end, he had no fear, and he didn't pass the ball. In the end, he could only take the shot against Kirilenko's defense.

It's hard.

Jazz attack!

Dee Brown dribbles across half court and continues to call the pick-and-roll.

It was still Boozer who came up to pick and roll him.

With the last three-pointer, this time, Smush Parker obviously didn't dare to go around Boozer to defend. This time, he and Odom almost agreed with each other and chose to double-team Dee Brown.

After all, Dee Brown is short in stature, and it is difficult to play the ball in the face of Odom and Parker's two long-armed defenses.

But what everyone didn't expect was that Di Brown passed the ball directly from Odom's crotch.

Boozer received the ball, and Luke Walton immediately went up to defend!
But for this ball, Boozer did not choose to pass the ball, but shot directly!
Crooked machine gun shooting, not to mention Luke Walton, Yao Ming's blocks back then could hardly interfere with him.

Directly cast a hollow!
76: 75!

In two rounds, the Utah Jazz chased by five points in an instant!

Only one point is left.

On the court, the momentum of the Jazz faintly felt that it was coming back.

"Dee Brown's pass was really beautiful just now!" McLean said, "Boozer's mid-range shot is also as stable as ever. These two shots helped the Jazz catch up to the score!"

Robertson said, "That's why Coach Sloan doesn't use Deron even if he wants to use Dee Brown. See if you see it, the Jazz's pick-and-roll tactics are played out, and everyone can participate in offense and defense. When Long was on the court, everyone was like a wooden stake, and could only run back and forth with him."

"I really didn't expect that the Jazz's small guard Dee Brown could play so well. He has this level, so why did Coach Sloan hardly use him this season?" McLean asked.

"Come on, when you have two point guards, Deron Williams and Fisher, is there a need for a third point guard? There's no time for him," Robertson said. I know it's cruel, but it's also true. In fact, the NBA has never been short of talented players, but there is no way, there are only so many teams, and each team only needs so many people."

"Yeah, this is really cruel. I just hope that Di Brown can take this opportunity to be proud today and make a fortune in one fell swoop." McLean said.

On the court, Dee Brown really played with confidence.

After all, under the leadership of Deron and Fisher, the team has always been in a state of lagging behind, but after one of the substitutes came on the field, he scored two goals in a row and brought the score back in an instant!
Tonight, he wants to prove himself to the coach!
He, Dee Brown, was as good as anyone!

Smush Parker dribbles across half court, Dee Brown sticks close and tries to steal the ball.

Smush Parker looked at it, shit, you, a rookie, actually defended me like this, you don't take me seriously!

It's fine if the rookie in my team doesn't take me seriously, but why do you brat?
In a fit of anger, Luke Wharton ignored Luke Wharton who was asking for the ball, and started dribbling directly.

Parker accelerated the dribble with a feint, followed by a sharp change of direction, and directly... the ball disappeared...

Di Brown copied the ball and went straight to the fast break!

shint!

Smush Parker, exasperated, hurried back in pursuit.

But the speed of small players in the NBA is impossible to catch up to.

Dee Brown was unguarded, and he made a 360-degree swivel basket dunk!
Lu Yusheng sat in the audience and was secretly shocked. The physical fitness of these guys is really beasts.

Such a short person can actually make such a move.Sitting on the sidelines, Lu Yusheng felt as if that guy was going to jump to the basket all of a sudden.

76: 77!

The Jazz lead by one point!
The home fans at the Staples Center were also completely amazed by the little man's performance in the past three rounds, especially the last high-end dunk, which directly ignited the enthusiasm of the audience.

And Di Brown himself was extremely excited, shouting something constantly in his mouth.

"Wow, the dunk just now was really amazing!" McLean exclaimed, "He can jump so high! It's incredible!"

"Oh, don't underestimate the small players in the NBA. It is absolutely impossible for them to reach this stage without super physical fitness."

"Dee Brown is obviously playing with confidence. He just faced Smush Parker, and he dared to step forward to defend."

"It's like this when a player plays with confidence." Robertson said, "The more you play, the more excited you are, and the more excited you are, the more goals you can score. After the offensive end is smooth, it can also bring passion to your defensive end. This is for the Lakers. It's not good news for the team."

"Yes, I can clearly feel that the physical passion of the Jazz players is back, and they are all excited! So what do you think the Lakers should do now?" McLean asked.

"I think Lu Yusheng has to be replaced. After all, someone needs to limit Di Brown now. Smush Parker's defense is simply terrible. I can't help but see. I really don't know what confidence this guy has to single out just now. Dee Brown, now the Lakers must have someone to limit Dee Brown, otherwise, if this continues, the Jazz players will become more and more excited, and the situation for the Lakers will not be very good."

Lu Yusheng also felt that at this time, the Zen master should let himself go.

If it goes on like this, the Jazz will be on the rise.

However, Zen Master still looked at the field indifferently, without any intention of calling a timeout.

From the Jazz bench, Coach Sloan yelled at Dee Brown, "Well played Brown! This is the point guard I want!"

These words were obviously meant for Delong who was on the side. Delong looked indifferent and lay on his back in the chair, as if he didn't hear it.

Lakers attack!

This time, an impassioned Dee Brown even led Smash Park from half-time.

After suffering the loss last time, Smush Parker obviously didn't dare to neglect anymore, protecting the ball with one hand, and slowly advancing with the other hand.

Kobe obviously couldn't stand it anymore, so he took the initiative to come over to respond.

Smush Parker passed the ball to Kobe, facing Roger Powell's defense, Kobe directly started a three-threat, ready to eat alone.

But at this time, Kirilenko came up directly to switch defenses with Roger Powell, and he came to defend Kobe himself.

Although Kirilenko's defense is indeed excellent, Kobe has no fear at all. He set up his battles and began to single out Kirilenko!
Kobe dribbled and made two breakthrough feints, but Kirilenko's small steps were quick and he didn't lose his position!

Instead, Kobe accidentally dribbled to his feet and had to stop the ball.

Kirilenko quickly stepped forward to stick to the defense, not wanting Kobe to make a move.

Other teammates also rushed forward to respond, but Kobe did not pass the ball, and shot directly against Kirilenko's block from outside the three-point line!
This ball... draws a beautiful arc in the air...

It's a pity, it's iron!
Fortunately, Kwame Brown and Odom have already locked positions under the basket, and the Lakers should be sure to hold this rebound.

But a scene that no one expected happened!

Suddenly, a dark blue figure suddenly flew up!
The speed of the bullet was extremely fast, and the body instantly passed Odom in the air!
Almost on top of Odom's head, he took off the rebound hard! !
Dee Brown! ! ! !

The Lakers home fans couldn't help cheering!

This short rookie... is too outrageous! ! !

Jazz fast break! !
The Lakers players haven't even reacted yet, the Jazz players have already gone down quickly!

Dee Brown dribbles and a long pass finds Kirilenko!

Scored again! !
"76:79, the Jazz overtook the score by three points!" McLean shouted excitedly, "Oh my God! What did I see? A rookie who didn't play a game for a second in the first three quarters led the Utah Jazz to the opening game. Counter the storm! Now the Lakers are really passive!"
