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

Chapter 73 [Tactics specially designed for Lu Yusheng! 】

Lu Yusheng noticed that after the start of the second half, Baron Davis did not continue to play, but was replaced by Azubuike.

For Azubuike, Lu Yusheng had no fear at all.

After all, Lu Yusheng had already managed him in the first half.

As for Azubuike, in the first half he was disgusted by the boss Davis because of his somersault with Lu Yusheng. Now that he is playing again, he is facing Lu Yusheng again.

Therefore, in the first few rounds, Azubuike deliberately took the initiative to fight with Lu Yusheng.

But Lu Yusheng had figured out his tricks a long time ago, he hadn't been able to take advantage of Lu Yusheng just now, and he was still no match for him now.

For several rounds in a row, the breakthrough failed, and he barely made a shot. He only made one foul and won two free throws.

On the Lakers side, they started to play a triangle offense.

After all, the Warriors' defense started to slacken a bit when Davis wasn't on the floor.

Moreover, their defensive strength has been tense in the first half, which is already beyond the standard for the Warriors players who usually defend loosely.

Now that the boss is not on the court, they will naturally return to their usual level habitually.

When the Lakers can play the triangle offense, their offense will be very smooth, and the Warriors can't stand it at all.

After several rounds, the Lakers not only gradually caught up with the score, but even surpassed it by one point.

The Warriors had no choice but to call a timeout.

During the timeout, Zen Master replaced Lu Yusheng with Smush Parker.

The commentator Christopher said, "Houston, I found a problem. Although Smush Parker is still the Lakers' starting point guard, although his playing time and Lu Yusheng's playing time seem to be similar for the time being, it is clear that Zen Master has far less attention to him. Lu Yusheng is getting taller, I think Zen master must have saved Lu Yusheng's strength so that he can play key parts of the game. Do you think this will affect Parker's mentality?"

Alan Houston said with a smile, "Of course it will have an impact. After all, players are human beings, especially being replaced by a rookie. In most cases, it will be difficult to accept. But how can I say it? After all, the NBA is the highest basketball in the world." On the competitive stage, as long as it is competitive, there will naturally be survival of the fittest, whoever performs well will get more playing time, there is nothing wrong with that.”

"Moreover, I heard that the Lakers' broadcast contract is about to expire. Warner is very dissatisfied with their record in the past two years. The new broadcast contract may have higher requirements for their regular season record. The management and coaches The team is also under a lot of pressure. In this case, they may not care too much about the feelings of the players, but more about the record. So naturally whoever plays well will win."

Christopher smiled, "I agree with you. If Smash Parker wants to regain what belongs to him, then he must prove himself better. Facing Azubuike now is to prove that he is the best. Great opportunity."

It's a pity that facing Azubuike, Smush Parker did not prove himself and led the team to open the score.

During the next period of the game, he exchanged courtesy with the opponent's Azubuike. If you make a mistake, I will pay you back immediately. There is no debt at all.

Therefore, the scores of the two teams became anxious in another way.

This is what the Warriors are happy to see. After all, as long as the score is not opened, Baron Davis can get enough rest time.

For Smush Parker's performance on the court, Zen Master and other coaching staff members had only one reaction.

Shaking his head.

All kinds of head shaking...

Of course, there were no disturbances in the game during this period.

The second teams of the two sides played fairly well, and the atmosphere in the Oracle Arena gradually became dull.

When the game was halfway through the third quarter, the official suspended the game, and the score between the two sides came to a 73 tie.

After the timeout ended, the Warriors took the lead in switching to the starting lineup.

After Baron Davis came on the field, Zen Master also immediately replaced Lu Yusheng on the field.

Seeing these two people enter the field, the fans at the scene, who were originally silent, suddenly burst into enthusiastic cheers!
The commentator Christopher couldn't help laughing, "This is really unbelievable. Houston, a rookie can get such an atmosphere in the away game. The last rookie who has such a treatment must be LeBron, right?"

Alan Houston said with a smile, "No, I guess LeBron's first away game must not have the same treatment as Lu Yusheng. Of course, this is inseparable from the help of the bearded Davis. He has been following the game from the beginning. Lu Jingjin, it can be said that he single-handedly promoted Lu Yusheng to this height in the Oracle Arena."

Christopher also laughed, "No matter what the reason is, I really like this kind of game. The arrows on both sides come and go, seeing each other, it's really exciting."

"Oh no, Chris, if Kobe heard what you said, he would definitely be upset. He is the arrow of the Lakers."

"Hey, hey, don't misinterpret my words, I just refer to this game," Christopher said with a smile, "Of course the Lakers' signature is that guy, but as far as this game is concerned, Lu is definitely the Lakers' well-deserved one." key people."

"Yes."

"Houston, the score on the court is still very tense, so can you predict who will lead the team to win this game, Lu or Davis?" Christopher asked.

"It's hard to say," Alan Houston said, "I said before that the starting lineups of both sides have so far failed to crack the opponent's main tactics. The Lakers' Lu Yusheng's pick-and-roll, and the Warriors' Davis' personal ability. Let's see now. Whoever can crack the opponent's tactics first will gain the initiative."

Back on the field!

Lakers offense.

Lu Yusheng held the ball for halftime, and Davis stepped forward to defend!

Needless to say, Lu Yusheng, Wharton has already offered to pick and roll for him.

According to the previous defensive habits of the Warriors, Lu Yusheng predicted that they would not double-team him, so he adjusted his dribble, observed the defense, and was ready to pass the ball at any time.

But suddenly, he discovered that the Warriors' tactics of defending pick-and-rolls have changed this time!

It turned out that they were either switching defenses or double-teaming.

But this time, after Walton's pick-and-roll, they neither changed nor double-teamed, but adopted the strategy of Baron Davis squeezing from in front of Walton to chase the defense!

The advantage of this kind of defense is that Walton can't go down immediately, because Richardson who defends him doesn't leave him at all.

The disadvantage is that before Davis squeezes over from Wharton, Lu Yusheng can gain a short space.

But this gap is extremely short, because Davis will quickly chase and come out. Lu Yusheng has two choices in this gap, dribble inside, or pull up directly to shoot.

But if you dribble inside, you will face a problem, that is, there is interference from the tall warrior insider Lin in front, and Baron Davis is catching up behind. If you are not careful, you will fall into a front and back attack!

In this short gap, pulling up and shooting is the best way to deal with it!

Lu Yusheng hesitated for a moment, so he jumped up and shot!

Baron Davis, who was chasing after him, jumped from the side, trying to interfere with Lu Yusheng's shooting!

Warriors coach Nelson off the court noticed Lu Yusheng's hesitation before shooting, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

This is the defensive strategy he specially prepared for Lu Yusheng!
This kind of defensive strategy, if you are facing Kobe, it is almost sending points.

But he had a keen insight into Lu Yusheng, a rookie's technical shortcomings, and his shooting was unstable.

So it doesn't matter if you give him a short gap. If you are not sure about shooting, he will hesitate to make a shot.

The more you hesitate, the less sure you are, and the hit rate will only get worse and worse.

Sure enough, Lu Yusheng's hesitation, coupled with Davis' interference, made him feel obviously short after his shot!

"Rebound!" He yelled and rushed towards the inside!
Sure enough, it was short, and it only hit the front of the basket a little bit, and it hit the iron...

Andris Biedrins grabbed the rebound and quickly handed it to Baron Davis!

Warriors counter fast break! !
