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

Chapter 190

The New Orleans Hornets obviously didn't expect that Lu Yusheng would run directly to their center forward.

After all, at that time, Tyson Chandler was still at his peak, and he was the center with the best defensive ability in the league.

Going to him directly will definitely not get any benefits.

Tyson Chandler was also ready to defend, but unexpectedly, when Lu Yusheng was two steps away from him, he dribbled the ball and suddenly made a small throw!

Tyson Chandler reacted quickly and took off directly to block the block!

Lu Yusheng's small toss shot is already proficient now, and before Chandler reached out, he shot directly in advance.

The basketball passed Tyson Chandler's fingertips and flew towards the basket!

Hit the board and score!
"Oh, there is something about Lu's throw," Daniel said, "Some of the top small guards in the league will have this kind of small throw, but his throw, I feel that it is slightly different from others, but it seems to be different. I can't tell the difference, it's very strange. It seems that his throwing shot seems to make it difficult for the opposing center to react. You know, Tyson Chandler's bullet speed is one of the best in the entire league, but it feels like he Before he could react at all, Lu Yusheng made a move."

"You're right, Daniel, although many top point guards in the league will make this kind of small face-up throw, but Lu Yusheng's throw is really different. If you look closely at his throw, it's luck. When the ball is picked up and thrown directly, there is no pause between the dribble and the throw, and it is done in one go, but everyone else has a pause, and there must be a pre-shooting action, so I will give the center a certain amount of time. There is room for reaction, but for Lu’s float shot, he doesn’t have a pre-shooting action, so it is difficult for the center to predict.” The magician said.

"But Lu's goal is very important, breaking the Lakers' scoring shortage for half a day." Daniel said.

"No, no, the significance of this goal is not just to break the scoring shortage. The most important thing about this goal is that Lu Yusheng broke the Hornets' siege tactics. After this goal is scored, they can no longer do this. Unscrupulously surrounded Lu Yusheng." The magician said.

On the court, the New Orleans Hornets attack.

Chris Paul dribbles across half court.

Lu Yusheng stepped forward to defend.

Chris Paul dribbles and calls David West up for a pick-and-roll.

Lu Yusheng chose to circle behind the pick-and-roll player to defend, Chris Paul directly circled behind David West, and Lu Yusheng continued to circle from the opposite direction.

This time Chris Paul took off and shot directly!

Score in the middle distance!
Lu Yusheng had a headache. He had imagined countless times in his mind how to defend Chris Paul's pick-and-roll, but he never came up with a good solution.

Chris Paul's pick-and-roll tactics are the main tactics of the New Orleans Hornets' positional warfare, because Jerry West and Tyson Chandler are both extremely suitable for pick-and-roll inside players, especially David West, his The pick-and-roll is very solid, and as a four position, he also has an extremely stable mid-range shot and single-footed footwork at the basket.

This kind of inside player is simply the artifact of the most pick-and-roll tactics. When encountering such a player, the point guard simply doesn't need to deal with it too much.

So no matter what defense you choose, there seems to be no way to completely limit them.

Lu Yusheng can only think about other strategies on the field, because sometimes, the strategy you envisioned in your mind will actually happen differently on the field.

But now on the court, Lu Yusheng found that there still seemed to be no other way. The switch defense was obviously useless against Chris Paul. Let Odom defend Chris Paul. With Chris Paul's ability to fight big, basically Up is equal to sending points.

Double-teaming seems useless, after all, Chris Paul's dribbling and ball-out ability, double-teaming is useless at all.

Therefore, Lu Yusheng can only choose to defend around the back, but this is tantamount to giving Chris Paul space for jump shots.

Lu Yusheng estimated that Paul might hesitate. After all, Chris Paul had been motivating his teammates before, so he might not attack directly.

He didn't expect that he would shoot a jumper without hesitation at all.

It seems that next time, we have to change to another defensive strategy.

Lakers attack!

Lu Yusheng dribbled the ball past half court, but it was still Vujacic's pick and roll.

What Lu Yusheng didn't expect was that this time, the New Orleans Hornets still chose to switch defenses.

Faced with Peja Stojakovic's defense, Lu Yusheng continued to choose to break through.

This time, after his breakthrough, Tyson Chandler took two steps forward!

Obviously, the New Orleans Hornets did not intend to directly change their defensive strategy. After all, this was a defensive strategy specially prepared for Lu Yusheng before the game. If Lu Yusheng only scored once, it would be a bit wasteful to change the strategy.

They still want to try again.

So this time, the defensive pressure is on Tyson Chandler.

After all, he was facing Lu Yusheng directly. If he could defend Lu Yusheng, then they didn't need to change their defensive strategy.

Lu Yusheng noticed the changes in Tyson Chandler, he was obviously more aggressive than last time.

Therefore, Lu Yusheng's strategy is that once his defensive position is too aggressive, he will find a way to pass the ball to Kwame Brown.

It's a pity that although Tyson Chandler's position was more aggressive than last time, he never let go of his defender, so it was difficult for Lu Yusheng to pass the ball to Kwame Brown.

If you don't shoot, Peja Stojakovic behind will immediately form an encirclement.

So without further ado, Lu Yusheng dribbled the ball directly to the right, and when he was dribbling, he suddenly took advantage of the trend and made another small throw!

Tyson Chandler was already ready to fly to block the shot!

But this time, he still didn't touch the ball!

Lu Yusheng deliberately raised the arc of this throw, so even though Tyson Chandler was well prepared and tried his best to block it, Lu Yusheng still made it!

Go straight in!

"Wow, Lu Yusheng's shot is still very difficult. Tyson Chandler basically defended it perfectly, but Lu Yusheng still made it. With such a high arc, he still scored!" cried Daniel!

"This goal is indeed very difficult, much more difficult than the one just now," the magician also said, "It can be seen that the Hornets did not intend to change their defensive strategy immediately after Lu Yusheng scored the goal just now. I wanted to try again, but Lu Yusheng gave them a positive response in this attack, announcing to them that your defensive strategy can no longer trap me.

I have to say that this kid's progress is really too fast. When I watched Lu Yusheng use this move in the previous games, he was still somewhat jerky, but it hasn't been too long. The trick was used with great proficiency. Just now Tyson Chandler obviously made sufficient defensive preparations, but Lu Yusheng deliberately increased the arc and scored directly!
I believe that under such circumstances, Lu Yusheng can still score. In the next round, the Hornets will definitely adjust their defensive strategy. Based on my understanding of Byron Scott, I believe that he should soon call paused. "

"Oh, I almost forgot, Coach Byron Scott was your former teammate." Daniel said, "But I think that Byron Scott can actually let the Hornets players make adjustments on the court first, after all, they There is a core defender with a brain level like Chris Paul on the field, he should have this ability to adjust,
Besides, the Hornets are only doing a poor job of defending Lu Yusheng. Their offense has not encountered any difficulties. At most, the two sides can't defend each other. "

"No, no, it's because you don't know much about Byron Scott's coaching style. Let me tell you, he is the kind of coach who takes care of everything. Once the strategies and tactics formulated before the game fail or encounter obstacles , he will definitely call a timeout immediately to make adjustments. This guy is such a person. When we played games before, whenever we encountered difficulties on the court, this guy would always be in my ear, mother-in-law, and keep me on the court. Asking for a timeout online, I'm getting annoyed."

Daniel laughed loudly, "It's really hard for me to imagine that he is such a person. To be honest, he is quite cute."

"Yeah, later he started marketing to our coach Pat Riley, asking him to call a timeout in time when he encounters a situation. His philosophy is that it is best to call a timeout to solve any situation on the court. His reason is that when the players are playing on the court, when they are in adversity, everyone will be anxious and not calm, so calling a timeout at this time is not only to solve tactical problems, but more importantly, to allow everyone to calm down Come down," said the magician.

"When you put it that way, I think his thinking seems to make sense." Daniel said.

"His point of view is indeed not wrong, but the problem is like what you said just now, athletes have the ability to adjust on the court, players like me and Chris Paul have this ability, there is no need to meet When there is a problem, it is called a timeout, but this guy is so stubborn, he always thinks so, when he was a player, he couldn't achieve it, but now he is a coach, it really is like this." The magician said, "So believe me, he must It will be called a timeout soon."

Sure enough, after being guessed by the magician, it wasn't long before Byron Scott immediately requested a timeout.

On the Lakers' bench, Zen Master said to Lu Yusheng, "Lu, you had a good idea just now, but if you want to win this game, you still have to find a way to drive other people to score."

Lu Yusheng nodded, "Do you have any good ways to break their pick-and-roll tactics?"

"Change defense." Zen master replied without thinking.

Lu Yusheng was taken aback, "Let Odom defend Chris Paul?"

The Zen master turned back and said to Odom, "Lamar, I'm afraid your attention will be spent on defense tonight, especially defending Chris Paul alone. This is a big challenge for you, and you must be mentally prepared."

Odom nodded. Of course he understood the deep meaning of Zen Master's words. Letting Odom defend Chris Paul alone is not only physically exhausting, but also psychologically exhausting.

After all, when the opponent keeps eating you alone and then keeps scoring, it is also a kind of torture to the athlete's confidence.

Lu Yusheng can probably understand Zen Master’s intentions. The strategy of choosing to switch defenses is to consume Paul. After all, singles play is a very energy-intensive offensive method. No matter how good you are, let you keep playing. The physical strength is also a great consumption.

And the deeper intention is to let Paul fall into singles and not be able to drive other teammates.

It's not that Lu Yusheng didn't think of this point, but he also considered the impact on Odom.

After all, for athletes, being continuously "educated" like this may have a great psychological impact, and it will take a long time for you to get out of that shadow.

"Okay," Odom said. "I just wanted to work on my lateral move."

"That's good." Zen Master said, "Guys, I have to say that this game is destined to be a difficult game for us, but we definitely have a chance to win this game and keep our The No. [-] ranking in the Western Conference, we must maintain this ranking."

"it is good!!!"

Everyone said in unison!
Kobe who was standing on the side said to Lu Yusheng, "Lu, remember, Paul has a lot of small moves when doing moves, and sometimes there are some bad moves, you must be careful."

"Don't worry, I will be careful." Lu Yusheng smiled.

Lu Yusheng did not expect that this time, what Kobe told him was not tactics and techniques, but his own safety.

That's what he told himself the last time he played against the Spurs.

Obviously, he cared about Lu Yusheng's safety very much.

"One more thing," Bryant said.

"what's up?"

"Try to win this game."

"It's up to you to say." Lu Yusheng said, "I can't wait to win every game."

"No, it's not the same," Kobe said. "If you can win this game, our previous bet still counts."

Lu Yusheng: "???"

"You mean... the Ferrari thing still counts?"

Kobe nodded, "So, this is my second chance for you, I hope you can cherish it."

"Okay! This time, I must drive to your Ferrari."

With a whistle, the game continues!

Hornets ball right.

Chris Paul dribbled the ball halfway, and Lu Yusheng stepped forward to defend.

David West went on to pick and roll for Paul.

This time, according to the previous tactical arrangement, Lu Yusheng and Odom switched defenses!

Chris Paul couldn't help laughing when he saw the Lakers switch defenses and faced Odom's defense.

Dribble directly high, find the rhythm, and start to mobilize Odom's center of gravity.

Odom opened his arms, lowered his center of gravity, and walked back quickly in small steps, keeping a close eye on Paul's footsteps.

Not to mention, Paul did not break through Odom in the first two breakthroughs, so he could only dribble back to open the distance and start breaking again!
