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

Chapter 61 [Key to Victory]

In positional warfare, the Suns still play their pick-and-roll tactics.

Nash called Marion to come up with a pick-and-roll.

This time, before Lu Yusheng had any hope of going to Wharton, Wharton had already gone up ahead of time to delay Nash.

Wharton can no longer care about the dignity of the old players. Last year, he was turned over by the Suns. He regretted the whole offseason. He has been aggrieved for too long. He really wants to win this game!

Just now, Lu Yusheng single-handedly led the score to tie. This is the most convincing appeal!

After the delay, Lu Yusheng was still facing Nash alone.

Nash dribbled the ball while observing his teammates' running positions.

Under the command of Lu Yusheng, the Lakers switched defenses in rotation and did not give the Suns a chance at all.

Nash took the initiative to find his teammates while dribbling, and Stoudemire took the initiative to come out and pick and roll Nash!

Lu Yusheng yelled at Bynum who came out to defend, "Switch!"

Bynum did not hesitate, and immediately went to defend Nash!

In this way, Lu Yusheng faced Stoudemire!

Stard saw Lu Yusheng, who was a head shorter than him, and without hesitation, started to dribble the ball into it!

Although Lu Yusheng had tried his best to go to the top, he was still far behind in terms of strength. Stoudemire pushed Lu Yusheng and went inside!

Lu Yusheng tried his best to hit him!

Whistle!

foul!

Stoudemire goes to the free throw line.

This is the advantage of the Suns. After switching defenses, they also have many players who can initiate offense.

This is indeed a problem.

Stoudemire made a free throw!

whistle.

It was the Zen master who called a timeout.

Lu Yusheng was a little surprised, because the Zen master didn't take the initiative to call a timeout during the entire game.

Just after the first round, he actually called a timeout.

After leaving the court, the Zen master said to Walton, "Luke, in the next round, Nash took the initiative to find his teammates to pick and roll, and after forming a big fight against Lu, what you have to do is fake help defense and keep harassing him, understand? "

Walton nodded, "But what if he doesn't pass the ball?"

"Then double-team him without hesitation, his ability to play the ball is not strong." Zen Master said.

Lu Yusheng suddenly realized!
Wonderful!

Wharton let go of Marion to help defend, and Stoudemire's ability to play the ball is not strong. If he doesn't pass, Wharton and Lu Yusheng can directly form a double-team for him!

If he passes the ball, he can only pass it to the open Marion, and Marion's shooting, as we all know, has such a weird shooting posture that the shooting percentage is not high at all.

If he chooses to break through, other Lakers players can quickly make up the defense.

Lu Yusheng secretly admired him, this old man is worthy of winning eleven championships, and his ability to see the court is simply terrifying!
It was almost a breeze, and the Suns' backhands were resolved.

After the tactics are arranged, the game continues!
Stoudemire missed the second free throw, the Lakers grabbed the rebound and handed it to Lu Yusheng to advance the frontcourt.

Nash stepped forward to defend!

This time, Lu Yusheng still called his teammates to pick and roll!

But this time is different from before, this time he did not call Bynum, but called Wharton up.

After Walton's pick-and-roll, without waiting for the Suns to rotate, Lu Yusheng immediately hit the ball and passed it to Walton!
Wharton directly faced Nash!

Although Wharton's size is not an advantage in the 3rd position, when he faces Nash who is a head shorter than himself, he still has a big advantage!

This is the loophole that Lu Yusheng found in the Suns' rotation defense.

This loophole is Nash.

The other players in the Suns first team are really strong defensively, so they can rotate infinitely.

But Nash can't, he is the weakest link of the Suns defense.That is the loophole of the Suns' entire rotation defense, so whoever Nash switches defenses is the Lakers' offensive strength!

Of course, this is only in theory, and the actual implementation is not that simple, because it is difficult for heavy centers like Bynum and Mihm to directly attack Nash after they leave the basket.

That's why in this offensive round, Lu Yusheng did not call Bynum's pick and roll, but called Wharton.

Let Walton come up for the pick-and-roll. His attack area is larger and he can attack Nash from any position.

Sure enough, facing Nash's defense, Wharton directly started playing Nash with his back!

Nash's strength was simply not enough to withstand Wharton, and he pushed directly to the free throw line!

Seeing this, the Suns felt helpless, so Marion could only leave Lu Yusheng to help defend immediately!

Wharton directly threw the ball to Lu Yusheng who was open outside the three-point line!

Without hesitation, Lu Yusheng opened his hand and threw!

Three points!

hit!

The score is overtaken!

This is the first time the Lakers have overtaken the score in this game. The Lakers fans were furious and burst into even more enthusiastic cheers!

The Zen master off the field showed a satisfied look.

"See, Shaw, the triangle offense is on again."

Brian Shaw nodded straightly. The tactics that had been restricted to death by the Suns did not expect to be revitalized again in this way!

Zen Master said with some regret, "Last season, if there was a player like Lu in our No. [-] position, we wouldn't have had such a difficult time..."

"That's right, Mayfair, this kid's performance has really exceeded my expectations. It hasn't been long, but he has matured so much compared to his performance in the summer league. It's hard for me to imagine that this is just his first game." The official game. Mayfair, tell me, can we entrust him with important tasks this season?"

"It's too early to say these, the season is still very long, let's watch as we play."

In Zen Master's heart, he obviously had further plans.

On the court, the Suns' offensive round.

Suppressed for the entire game, and now suddenly overtaken by the Lakers, Staples Center fans, wave after wave, put a lot of pressure on the Suns players.

They played casually from the very beginning, but at this moment, they had to face up to this game again.

In Nash's heart, the pressure is even greater.

Only he knows best why the score was overtaken and overtaken. Underestimating the enemy is only a small part of the reason, and the main reason is that the tactics have been destroyed.

Both offensively and defensively, it was destroyed.

As far as the performance in the second half, the rookie in front of him has completely exceeded his expectations.

He didn't know whether Lu Yusheng's performance at the tactical level came from the arrangement of the Zen master, or the kid's own instinct. If it was his own instinct, it would be incredible. After all, Nash himself had a good understanding of tactics in his rookie year. Understanding is still in its infancy.

Marion came up to pick and roll for Nash, but Wharton still delayed ahead of time, and it was Lu Yusheng who defended Nash.

The commentator Kane said, "Thomas, do you feel that the situation in the second half seemed to be reversed? The Lakers' tactics were alive, but the Suns' tactics were killed instead. Their pick-and-roll tactics have not scored directly for several rounds. gone."

"If a tactic is played all the time, of course it will be targeted. This is very common. The Lakers are currently attacking smoothly, making it difficult for the Suns to play defensive counterattacks. And they don't have many tactics in positional warfare, so it is really difficult to play." Yi Said Thomas.

Kane didn't speak, but what he was thinking was that, as you said just now, the Lakers had no way to take the Suns' pick-and-roll tactics.

Stoudemire stepped forward to pick and roll Nash, and then Stoudemire singled Lu Yusheng!
This time, Wharton implemented the tactics arranged by the Zen master, let go of Marion, and began to harass Stoudemire with a fake defense.

Stoudemire is not a vegetarian either. He didn't pay attention to this kind of fake help defense at all. He directly took a big step and hit Lu Yusheng to the basket!
Seeing this, Wharton stepped forward to double-team without hesitation!
Stoudemire was forced to stop the ball and wanted to pass the ball, but Lu Yusheng and Wharton immediately stepped forward to double-team!

In a panic, Wharton took the ball down!
The Lakers launched a fast break! ! !

The atmosphere of the home fans reached a climax in an instant, and all Lakers fans stood up to play basketball! ! !
