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

Chapter 51 [Isiah Thomas' Viewpoint]

The Zen master was communicating with Lu Yusheng very calmly.

But at this moment, Lu Yusheng felt like a tsunami had blown through his heart!
It turned out that Zen Master didn't let him go with the substitute lineup, but actually wanted him to replace Smush Parker with the main lineup!
The loss and aggrieved just now were swept away in an instant!

Match Nash directly!

Lu Yusheng never dreamed that all this happened so quickly!
Zen Master confessed to Lu Yusheng, "Lu, you listened most carefully to our pre-game tactical analysis of the Suns. I noticed just now that you have been observing Nash from the sidelines."

Lu Yusheng was startled, okay, this old man seems to have never glanced at him, but he knows everything.

Even the details that I have been observing Nash are clear!
Lu Yusheng once wondered whether the old man's glasses were specially made high-tech?

"So you should be able to see clearly where the deterrent power of the Suns lies."

"Fast attack and counterattack." Lu Yusheng said.

Zen master nodded, "So, try to minimize mistakes, don't give them the opportunity to fast break and counterattack, there is still a little bit."

Speaking of this, the Zen master suddenly clung to Lu Yusheng's ear, as if about to whisper.

Lu Yusheng was taken aback, isn't it necessary?The scene is so noisy, the coaching staff and players of the Suns are over there, they can't hear it.

But he still moved his ears to it.

"When the tactics can't be opened, you can attack Nash appropriately."

Lu Yusheng was taken aback, "Huh?"

But Zen Master didn't say anything, just waved Lu Yusheng back to his position.

He will continue to observe the situation on the field.

Lu Yusheng returned to his seat, his heart was so surging that he couldn't calm down at all!
Last night, he was so nervous that he didn't sleep well.

I have imagined the process of today's game countless times, the tasks I have to undertake, and my performance countless times.

But no matter what, he never thought that he would be entrusted with such an important task as soon as he came up!

Directly match up with Nash at the MVP level! ! !

Excitement, excitement, nervousness, and panic all intertwined in Lu Yusheng's heart at the same time...

He could only try his best to restrain his emotions, calm himself down, and continue to observe the situation on the court.

At present, the two sides' substitute lineups are playing against each other on the court.

The signings of the Phoenix Suns this year are mainly for the reinforcement of the bench lineup.

The strength of Marcus Banks, Jaylen Rose, Eric Piakowski, Jumaine Jones, Sean Marcos and other players should not be underestimated. The personal ability of the players is far superior to that of the Lakers over the substitute players.

But after all, they have just integrated into the team, and they don't have a thorough understanding of the team's tactics, so the tactical effect of the fight is far less smooth than the main lineup.

The No. [-] position of the Suns' bench is Leandro Barbosa, known as the Brazilian Lightning.

As Nash's substitute, the Brazilian star is characterized by excellent physical fitness, especially terrifying speed and explosive power.

But as a point guard, his flaws are just as glaring.

He has the habit of sticking the ball and has poor organizational skills. This is simply disastrous for a point guard, because it means that you can't drive your teammates and play overall tactics.

Therefore, although the Suns' second team players are more capable, under the leadership of Barbosa, they did not have any advantage, and they were tied with the Lakers' second team.

In the middle and late part of the second quarter, when it was time for the main players to rotate, the score came to 38:29.

The score was not drawn.

Seeing that the Suns had replaced Nash, Master Zen directly waved to Lu Yusheng to let him play.

Lu Yusheng hurriedly got up.

The teammates were a little surprised.

And Smash Parker, who was getting up and preparing to appear on the stage, couldn't help being stunned.

He asked the Zen master puzzled, "Phil, what are you doing? Why don't you let me play?"

The Zen master did not explain to him at all, but directly gestured for him to return to his seat.

Smush Parker looked at Lu Yuyu angrily, and returned to his seat angrily.

After Lu Yusheng came on stage, the Staples fans still cheered and booed half and half. The fans who were optimistic about him naturally responded with cheers and expectations, and those who looked down on him naturally greeted him with boos.

Lu Yusheng nervously followed the other main players onto the glamorous floor of the Staples Center.

Stepping on the Lakers team logo under his feet, Lu Yusheng instantly felt unreal!
As for the decision to let Lu Yusheng play against Steve Nash, what was more surprising than Smush Parker was the commentators and commentators on the scene.

Turner Television Network (TNT for short) is in charge of broadcasting the game. Their commentator is Vince Kane, a famous sports reporter, and the invited commentator is former NBA star Isiah Thomas.

For Zen Master's sudden lineup change, Vince Kane was a little excited.

"Oh my god, it's crazy! As expected of Zen Master, in the first game of the opening game, they put their starting point guard, Smush Parker, on the bench, and let a rookie who didn't play a game go to the bench. Facing Nash, this is really crazy! Probably only a Zen master can make such a decision, Thomas, what do you think about this?"

Isiah Thomas is also one of the best point guards in NBA history. As the well-deserved leader of the Pistons, the bad boy team, he eliminated Michael Jordan's Bulls several times, and the head coach of the Bulls was zen master.

Isiah Thomas smiled, "Yes, this is indeed a bit crazy. We all know that Phil is a great head coach, but I still think it is inappropriate for him to make such a decision. First, it is right. The extreme disrespect of their starter Smush Parker will hurt his self-confidence. Second, using a rookie who has never played a single NBA game to match Steve Nash is also disrespectful to Nash. Respect, oh man, he's the MVP!"

Vince Kane smiled, "Thomas, tell me, is there a possibility that the Asian rookie they drafted this year really has outstanding abilities? After all, the Lakers' draft this year really shocked the world, and Lu really did And led the Lakers to the Summer League championship."

"Come on, man, I don't think so. The level of our summer league competition may not be as good as the quality of the national high school competition. What reference can this have?"

"Thomas, have you seen that kid's game? Do you think this kid has real material? Will he be the problem-solver at the first position of the Lakers?"

"Of course, I have seen some," Isiah Thomas said, "My evaluation of him is that, like all Asian players, he has some skills, but his physical level is too poor, which makes them unable to adapt to the NBA level game at all. "

"No, no, no, Thomas, you are too unconservative. After all, Yao Ming's performance is obvious to all." Vince Kane hurriedly stopped Thomas.

But Isiah Thomas didn't seem to hear it at all, and continued, "Yao Ming's performance is not phenomenal, he can only be regarded as a qualified fifth position at best, but the point guard is different, Kane, I'm a point guard too, and I know all too well what it takes to play that position well."

"So you are not optimistic about Zen Master's choice? Or are you not optimistic about the Asian rookie point guard of the Lakers?"

Isiah Thomas smiled, "You are deliberately making me say the wrong thing, but I still have to say that I am not optimistic about both. In the next game, Steve Nash will let the Lakers and Zen Master understand what stupidity is." decision."

In the end, Isiah Thomas has made no secret of his views.

Whistle!

Game start!
