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

Chapter 189

Lu Yusheng did not expect that Chris Paul seemed to care about the title of "League point guard nemesis".

He thought only Deron Williams would care.

No wonder they are the peerless double pride in point guards.

Lu Yusheng dribbled the ball, and facing Chris Paul's defense, he first called Vujacic to play pick-and-roll tactics.

After Vujacic's pick-and-roll, the Hornets chose to switch, Peja Stojakovic switched to Lu Yusheng, and Chris Paul went to defend Vujacic.

Obviously, the Hornets also attached great importance to this game. They must have studied the tactics of the Lakers and knew that Lu Yusheng's ability to handle the ball after the pick-and-roll is very strong, so they adopted a strategy of switching defenses.

Peja Stojakovic, as a No. [-] position, although his lateral movement speed is not too fast, but his wingspan is very long, which can completely interfere with Lu Yusheng's shooting.

But this is not difficult for Lu Yusheng. Lu Yusheng still has some experience in playing against players like Peja Stojakovic.

Facing Peja Stojakovic, Lu Yusheng began to dribble the ball in different directions with his crotch, constantly changing the rhythm, and mobilizing Peja Stojakovic's center of gravity.

Peja Stojakovic keeps lowering his center of gravity, but his lateral speed is limited after all.Lu Yusheng quickly mobilized the center of gravity. Lu Yusheng saw the opportunity and took it one step at a time!

Vujacic immediately chased back. At the same time, he saw that Lu Yusheng broke through Peja Stojakovic and entered the inside line. The Hornets inside players Chandler and David West had already stepped forward. In the case of controlling your own defenders, prepare to interfere with Lu Yusheng!
This is the performance of a strong defensive team!

The supplementary defense always depends on the opportunity and waits for the opportunity, instead of decisively giving up one's defender and going directly to supplement the defense.

This kind of reckless supplementary defense can only be used when there is absolutely no way to do it, and it is definitely not once the opponent breaks through your defense line, you just throw it recklessly, which is basically equivalent to sending points.

And if a team wants to establish a strong defensive system, it needs to rely on at least three defensive players with outstanding defensive capabilities, and the current New Orleans Hornets are like this. Their team has the league's best players like Chris Paul on the outside. The best defensive lineup players, there are also strong defensive insiders such as Jerry West and Tyson Chandler.

Therefore, their combination of inside and outside can form a strong defensive system.

The step of Chandler and David West made Lu Yusheng very uncomfortable. He could only pull up and shoot in this space, but Tyson Chandler can definitely interfere with him, but if he chooses to break through, all inside It is also difficult for people to break through.

While hesitating, Peja Stojakovic had already caught up and formed a circle around him.

At this time, Lu Yusheng had no choice but to stop the ball and want to pass it out!

But in almost an instant, the encirclement immediately tightened!
The airtight defense prevented Lu Yusheng from seeing any teammates at all!
In a hurry, Lu Yusheng suddenly moved his hand towards the racket!
Chris Paul!
The ball was shot straight away!

Although Lu Yu's rookie hand hurt from the beating, he knew very well that at this time, it was a golfer's body, and the referee would never blow it!
After Chris Paul steals, the rest of the Hornets immediately go down!
Because of the presence of Chris Paul, and the other players of the New Orleans Hornets move very fast, the New Orleans Hornets' fast-break counterattack is also quite powerful!
Peja Stojakovic and Desmond Mason, one on the left and one on the right, fly side by side on the two wings. Chris Paul dribbles in the center and looks at six directions!

Lu Yusheng desperately returned to defense and chased after Paul!

Chris Paul made a fake pass to Peja Stojakovic. After deceiving Vujacic, he passed the ball behind his head in an instant and gave it to Tyson Chandler who was following him!
Lu Yusheng had already predicted the pass, and he jumped up hastily to block Tyson Chandler!
But Tyson Chandler is already dribbling and taking off at the moment!

Knocked away Lu Yusheng instantly in the air, and violently dunked in! !

With this shot, Lu Yusheng completely became Tyson Chandler's background!

The New Orleans home fans burst into cheers instantly!
"Wow, Chris Paul's pass this time is really exquisite, just a fake move, and he deceived Vujacic." Daniel shouted, "Magician, this is your pass, nolookpass!"

The magician laughed, "This is indeed an exquisite pass, but I think that compared with this pass, what is more exciting is the defense just now by the New Orleans Hornets."

"Indeed, I have watched some Lakers games before. Although Lu Yusheng is only a rookie, his ability to handle the ball when facing double-teams is quite good. But just now, he didn't seem to have any Any way, the ball will be stolen directly. It seems that the New Orleans Hornets have done a special study on his ball path." Daniel said.

"Yes, obviously they have done in-depth research," said the magician. "The ball just now, they knew that Lu Yusheng was going to play a pick-and-roll, and they deliberately exchanged Peja Stojakovic for Lu Yusheng. , This is a trap. They know that Lu Yusheng's shooting is not particularly stable. Facing the interference of Peja Stojakovic, he will most likely choose to break through.

And when Lu Yusheng broke into the inside line, Chandler and David West immediately used a precise position to assist in the defense, forcing Lu Yusheng into an encirclement, Peja Stojakovic immediately caught up , encircling back and forth, trapping Lu Yusheng in a narrow encirclement,

The rest is what Chris Paul is best at, after forcing the opponent to stop the ball, he makes a sudden move!He is best at this kind, with precise and quick strikes, and direct steals. "

Daniel nodded, "It turned out that this was such an exquisite defensive tactic. Unfortunately, I only saw the final pass. It seems that Lu Yusheng is going to be in a bad mood tonight. The New Orleans Hornets targeted him like this from the beginning."

"It's normal," the magician said, "Daniel, you have to know that when you become the tactical leader of a team, you must go through these, because only against you,

Only the opponent can win. This only shows that Lu Yusheng is really capable. Think about it, Michael, me, Larry Bird, and Kobe, we have all experienced this.

Let me say something that you may think is exaggerated. In order to target me, the Celtics formulated 28 detailed small tactics. "

"Is it really that exaggerated?" Daniel said, "Did you make statistics specifically? Why are there such accurate data?"

"Oh, no, Daniel, I'm not that boring," Magic Johnson said with a smile, "Larry Bird told me about it later when I was drinking, and I didn't know they were so against me back then. , but the same, Larry Bird also caused us a lot of headaches back then. In order to limit him, we also made a lot of targeted arrangements, but we are not as perverted as the Celtics, and we have statistics on how many tactics we have formulated.”

Daniel laughed loudly when he heard the words, "You said that, it really reminded me of the era of your yellow-green war. For us fans, it is really an extreme enjoyment."

"Yeah, speaking of it, I also kind of miss the old days," the magician said with some emotion, "Just like Lu Yusheng and Chris Paul now, they talk trash on the court, and sometimes they even fight. , even now, I still hope that the Lakers can beat these guys every time they meet the Celtics, haha, but then again, we respect each other from the bottom of our hearts. When our careers are over, we They are very good friends, this is a very precious friendship for us. It is obviously different from other friendships. So I also very much hope that Lu Yusheng and Chris Paul can have such a friendship.”

Daniel smiled and said, "I think so. We seem to have gone too far. Erwin, what do you think Lu Yusheng can do to break through and lead the Lakers to a wonderful game under such a targeted defense?"

"It's really difficult. As I said just now, the overall strength of the New Orleans Hornets is indeed stronger than that of the Lakers on the court, especially their defensive ability. From the defense just now, you can clearly feel their strength. Under such circumstances, Lu Yusheng has only two ways to break through this restraint."

"Which two?"

"First, find a helper to help you change the opponent's defense. When the Lakers have another point to play, believe me, New Orleans' defense will definitely have scruples, and they will never dare to double-team Lu Yusheng so recklessly. This is why we have always emphasized that a team must have at least two strong points on the field, because when the opponent targets one of your strong points, the other strong point can stand out, so that the opponent cannot attack without any scruples. That's the strong point," said the magician.

"Yes, I was also thinking, it would be great if Kobe was on the court, he would definitely be able to share a lot of pressure for Lu Yusheng." Daniel said.

"Yes, if Kobe was here, New Orleans would never dare to do this, but now that Kobe is not here, Lu Yusheng wants to find another strong point, which is really unrealistic. The other players of the Lakers do not have this ability, so He has only one way left, and that is to use his ability to change the opponent's defense."

Daniel nodded.

"Based on what I know about him, I believe he can find a way," said the magician.

"Are you so confident?" Daniel smiled. "It seems that you must have watched a lot of his games, right?"

The magician laughed, "Of course, let me tell you this, since I watched his summer league game, I knew he would definitely bring about a qualitative change for the Lakers, so I basically I’ve read them all, and sometimes I really don’t have time to read them, so I’ll make up for them when I’m busy.

Daniel, everything is as I expected, this kid really lived up to my expectations, he made this lakers completely different, his talent on the tactical level, really, I have never seen it in any rookie .

What is even more commendable is his ability to adjust, which amazed me deeply. It seems that no matter what kind of difficult situation he faces, he seems to be able to find a way to deal with it, especially with the Jazz and Spurs. In this game, his tactical adjustment ability simply made me dumbfounded.
Daniel, you have to know that as far as these two games are concerned, he is no longer just competing with the opponent's players, he is more of a game with the coaches of the two teams. Long and Popovich are competing.But he actually won, which is simply unbelievable. "

"The Spurs lost that one," Daniel added.

"No, no, no, I'm not talking about the outcome of the game. I'm referring to the game between him and Popovich. In that game, he forced Popovich to make two serious mistakes. From this level Let’s just say, even if Lu Yusheng can’t be said to have won, at least he was tied with Popovich.”

"Although I feel to some extent that your remarks are based on the love of the Lakers' famous players for their own players, I still look forward to what adjustments Lu Yusheng will make next." Daniel said.

On the court, Lu Yusheng failed to organize the offense again just now. This time, in order not to step into the Hornets' defensive trap, he purposely set up a few more pick-and-rolls, trying to get the opponent to change their strategy, but the Hornets' strategy remained the same, only changing defenses .

With no other choice, Lu Yusheng could only pass the ball. After Vujacic received the ball, there was not much attack time left, so he could only shoot against Peja Stojakovic's defense.

But Peja Stojakovic, with superhuman wingspan, was not polite, and directly gave Vujacic a hot pot!
The Hornets took advantage of the trend and scored another fast break!
After Lu Yusheng came on the court, the Lakers not only failed to make any improvement in offense, but also were basically overwhelmed by the New Orleans Hornets on the defensive end, who scored two consecutive defensive counterattacks.

The score came to 32:16. Before the end of the first quarter, the Lakers were already 16 points behind!

This made Lu Yusheng a little annoyed, no, he had to make adjustments, otherwise the point difference would widen like this, and the game would be completely over.

Lu Yusheng dribbled the ball across the half court again, but still called Vujacic to come forward to pick and roll for him.

The Hornets still use the previous strategy and resolutely switch defenses.

This time, facing Peja Stojakovic's defense, Lu Yusheng didn't think about passing the ball anymore, and directly broke through with the dribble.

Peja Stojakovic still kept the strategy just now, trying his best to defend, but when Lu Yusheng broke through, he didn't make any additional moves in his hands.

Watching Lu Yuyu go into the trap they designed, the Hornets players couldn't help but be overjoyed!

Peja Stojakovic immediately wanted to step forward to form a siege against Lu Yusheng, but a scene they didn't expect appeared!

When Lu Yusheng felt the defensive pressure, he didn't stop the ball to try to protect the ball, but rushed towards Tyson Chandler inside! !
