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

Chapter 56 [The Dilemma of Offensive and Defense Ends]

After only two rounds, the Suns used rotation defense to disintegrate Lu Yusheng's one-handed pick-and-roll tactics that he had practiced in the summer league.

Lu Yusheng couldn't help sighing in his heart, this is a strong team at the NBA level.

Their ability to decipher tactics is simply too strong.

While defending the Suns' offense, Lu Yusheng was quickly thinking about how to play the next round of offense in his mind.

But in a short period of time, he couldn't think of a strategy to crack the Suns' rotation defense.

After all, in the history of the NBA, multi-player rotation defense is something that can be encountered but not sought after.

To play such a rotation defense, the team must first have defensive players with excellent defensive capabilities in various positions.

These players can not only defend opponents in their own positions, but also occasionally switch defenses to defend opponents in other positions.

Why look at NBA history, such teams are rare?

That's because, under normal circumstances, players with excellent defensive capabilities have relatively weak offensive capabilities (except for talented players who combine offense and defense like Joko).

If you deliberately gather defensive leaders in every position, then your offense will definitely have big problems.

In most cases, you can't have both.

As for the Phoenix Suns, the current players, except for Nash, have players in almost every position who are both offensive and defensive. With excellent defensive capabilities, they can also have good offensive capabilities.

This is extremely rare and precious!

Therefore, only such a team can play such a defensive tactic.

Lu Yusheng is a rookie, how can he break through this level of defense in a short period of time?
But it is not feasible for the Lakers to use the same method to crack the Suns' pick-and-roll tactics.

Because these players on their field do not have the ability to defend several positions.

The game continues!

Nash called Marion to come forward and play a pick-and-roll with him.

Lu Yusheng glanced at Wharton, hoping that he would do what he wanted, not to pack Nash, but to delay in advance.

But Wharton didn't look at him at all. After the pick-and-roll, he still chose to double-team Nash!

Lu Yusheng was very helpless, so he could only double-team with him.

But Nash's ability to play the ball quickly found Diao who ran out of space!
After Dior caught the ball and attracted the defense, he didn't stick to the ball at all. He passed the ball without looking at others, and he gave it to Lagabel!
A CIC!
hit!

Lu Yusheng found Wharton again, "Luke, our current defense is not good at all, can you listen to me once? Even if we try it once to see the effect!"

Wharton said helplessly, "Lu, I know what you're thinking, but if you think about it clearly, the reason Zen Master asked us to double-team him is to use everyone's strength to defend against a player of Steve Nash's level. Thinking about it, you are a rookie, can you deal with him?

Luke Wharton is such an experienced player, he quickly understood Lu Yusheng's thinking.

He went around to defend, delayed Nash, and then defended Marion, but Lu Yusheng wanted to defend Nash alone.

An experienced player like Simash Parker can't defend Nash, but you, Lu Yusheng, a rookie who hasn't played a single NBA game, can defend him?

Luke Wharton didn't believe that Lu Yusheng had such abilities at all.

Lakers attack!
Bynum didn't understand the situation on the court, so he still brought it up for Lu Yusheng to pick and roll.

But the Suns quickly rotated, still the strategy just now, and finally turned into Dior to switch to Bynum!
Lu Yu was afraid that Bynum would hit it in as recklessly as before, so he hurriedly reached out for the ball!

Bynum suffered from Dior's loss in the last round. A center forward who can't beat others, how can he be willing to lose another man. Seeing that Lu Yusheng asked for the ball, he passed the ball quickly like throwing a hot potato.

After Lu Yusheng got the ball, he lost his mind for a while.

The teammates were all guarded to death, and they couldn't run into any open space.

Then call the pick and roll, the result is still the same, it doesn't make much sense.

And there is not enough time.

He could only play by himself, he activated Tim Hardaway's [Crotch Dribble Breakthrough], kept dribbling left and right, shaking Nash's center of gravity!
But Nash's center of gravity is very low, basically he didn't hesitate!

In addition, Lagabert and Marion on the two flanks were ready to help defend at any time, so there was no room for Lu Yusheng's breakthrough!
He looked up at the timer and found that the attack time was only three seconds left!

Taking advantage of Nash lowering his center of gravity, Lu Yusheng suddenly made a shot!
It can only be this way!
Although Nash did not interfere with Lu Yusheng, Lu Yusheng still felt a little short after making a move.

Probably because he couldn't play the tactics, and he was anxious inside.

But fortunately, after the basketball knocked against the front of the basket, it barely bounced into it!

Score!

This was Lu Yusheng's first scoring in the NBA, but Lu Yusheng was not happy at all.

After all, the ball just now was the result of a forced shot to score when the tactics were completely killed.

Although this attack was lucky, what about the next time?

If it is still impossible to crack the Suns' rotation defense tactics, do they have to rely on this kind of luck every time they barely shoot?
Lu Yusheng was upset.

Because soon, I have to face the Suns' pick-and-roll tactics again.

This guy Wharton doesn't want to be flexible at all, even if this double-teaming strategy is completely ineffective, he still refuses to make changes.

What a headache...

For the remainder of the second quarter, the Lakers were once again overwhelmed by the Phoenix Suns.

On the offensive end, they couldn't crack the Suns' rotation defense.

On the defensive end, they couldn't solve the Suns' pick-and-roll tactics.

Both offensive and defensive ends are in a huge dilemma at the same time!
Lu Yusheng's momentum and the enthusiasm of the home fans once again sank to the bottom...

In the commentary, Isiah Thomas was happy, "Kane, what did I just say? Did you expect it too early? As I said earlier, this pick-and-roll tactic is not so easy to play. He is a rookie at all. Can't handle it, the Suns easily and completely deal with them, and they haven't played any pick-and-roll tactics since then, right?"

Vince Kane said with a smile, "It seems that professional players are more accurate, but how to put it, I still look forward to Lu Yusheng's next performance. I really want to know if he can do anything under this situation. Break the deadlock on the court."

"Oh, Kane, don't report any hope. In this situation, I don't think Zen Master himself may have a solution, let alone a rookie. This is not a problem he can solve at all. I can tell you this, Lakers The team's game today has basically come to an end here, and then, it's just a matter of losing more and losing less."

The second quarter of the game is not over yet, and Isiah Thomas has directly concluded the game for the Lakers.

Assistant coach Brian Shaw saw that the situation was not good, and asked Zen master, "Should we call a timeout and arrange tactics?"

The Zen master shook his head, "There is no need for this, let them solve it by themselves."

"Do you think Lu...can solve the current team's dilemma? But I...as a coach, I can't see a solution." Brian Shaw said with a confused face.

The Zen master smiled and said, "The sun's rotation defense is very powerful, but it is not completely flawless. The way to crack it, in fact, I mentioned it to him, it depends on Lu's comprehension ability. If it could be cracked before, then this child... will be really useful..."

The Suns attack!
Lu Yusheng knew that it would still be a pick-and-roll tactic!
Lu Yusheng once again set his sights on Luke Wharton.

In every defensive round recently, Lu Yusheng almost looked at Luke Walton, hoping to get his support and change his defensive tactics.

But Luke Wharton has been ignoring him.

But this time, I don't know if it was Luke Wharton who also felt that double-teaming tactics really couldn't limit Nash, or was moved (annoyed) by Lu Yusheng's persistence, and he suddenly said, "Okay, Lu, this time press Yours, but just this once."

Lu Yusheng couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard this!

Here's your chance to break out of all the team's current woes! !
