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

Chapter 99 [Bob Hill's Evolution]

Lu Yusheng made his debut early.

Because Odom, the main players, didn't play in the second quarter, and now they only played half of the third quarter.

But there is no good way, those guys are really disappointing today.

I originally thought that letting them rest for a whole quarter would improve the state of the second half, but now it seems that this game may not be counted on.

If Lu Yusheng doesn't play again and counts on Kobe alone, there is a high probability that the Lakers will have to explain this game.

Of course, if Kobe showed the superb state of last season, he could win.

But this season, Zen Master obviously doesn't want Kobe to continue playing in that way. He wants Kobe to focus more on the playoffs.

After all, that is the stage where he should show his strength.

After Lu Yusheng came on the field, in the first round, as usual, he still gave the ball to Luke Walton to play the triangle offense.

But this time, Lu Yusheng beckoned to center Mihm directly from outside the three-point line, asking him to come out and cover for him without the ball.

According to the tactics formulated during the timeout, Mim quickly pulled out to cover Lu Yusheng.

The Sonics did not hesitate, and their center Mohamed and point guard Luc Credno switched defenses immediately!
After switching defenses, Mohammed came to defend Lu Yusheng!

Wharton passed the ball directly to Lu Yusheng.

Lu Yusheng held the ball, faced the opponent's center, and began to dribble in a big change of direction!

With the blessing of Tim Hardaway's [Crotch Changing Extraordinary], Lu Yusheng almost effortlessly passed Muhammad and broke into the inside line!
The other supersonic players hurried forward to defend!

Lu Yusheng pretended to lay up and secretly observed his teammates' running positions.

A covert pass to Kobe who cut inside!
Rashard Lewis and Wilcox fly to block!
From Lu Yusheng's point of view, Kobe basically has no room to attack with this ball!

He hurriedly opened his hands for the ball, hoping that Kobe could pass it back to himself.

But what Lu Yusheng didn't expect was that Kobe took off with the ball without hesitation!
up in the air……

twisted waist,
An extreme pull bar, the right hand passes between the two defenders!
A soft pick and score!
There was a burst of warm cheers from the audience!
Lu Yusheng secretly sighed, this waist... sister-in-law is happy...

"Wow, the lever is so beautiful! I feel like this guy can do anything in the air, no matter how many defenders are in front of him, he seems to have a way to put the ball in the basket."

Standall couldn't help sighing.

"Kobe's shot really boosted morale, but I have to say that before that, Lu's breakthrough and scoring were quite perfect. He actually had a chance to attack the ball just now, but he was still observing the running position of his teammates. , In any case, always observe the position of teammates, this is an essential quality of a good point guard." Mark Jackson added.

"Yes, it seems that Lu's magic power is still there. He can always help the Lakers solve their offensive problems as soon as he comes on the court."

Immediately afterwards, in the defensive round.

The Lakers imitated the tactics of the bench lineup in the second quarter and took advantage of the mobility on the field to successfully limit the tactics of the Sonics.

Whistle!

The Sonics quickly requested a timeout!

As soon as the Lakers started to gain momentum, the Supersonics immediately called a timeout.

"I didn't notice that coach Bob Hill has returned to the court at some point." Stendall said, "It seems that not only the Sonics players were not affected by that incident, even Coach Hill Still, he went back to his place."

"This timeout was very timely," Mark Jackson said, "As I said just now, regardless of the timeout, the Lakers only scored one goal, but they also defended against the Sonics' offense. Just stopping the decline on the scene is very morale-boosting, and I think Coach Hill will definitely make targeted tactical adjustments during this timeout."

……

"Guys, you're doing a good job." Bob Hill said loudly to the Sonics, "Look, you forced them to change to a small lineup to limit our three-pointers. , I think you should know how to fight, right? Wilcox, Lewis, take advantage of your height and teach them a lesson!"

"clear!!"

"Mohammad, you go, Grabel, you go to replace him at the fifth position."

"Also, in the defensive round, it's time for us to target that No. 6." Bob Hill said, "We can't let a rookie make waves anymore. Do this..."

"do you understand?"

After laying out the tactics, Bob Hill asked.

"clear!!!"

Everyone at the Supersonics answered him in unison, including Ray Allen.

Bob Hill was taken aback. Since he became the head coach, he has almost never heard their reaction to his tactics so affirmatively.

For a while, it made him a little at a loss.

"and also……"

Bob Hill said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry... I told you those words in the locker room, I... apologize to you."

Everyone was stunned.

Ray Allen said, "Coach Hill, let's not talk about it now, let's focus on the game. After the game, I want to have a good talk with you, can you?"

Bob Hill looked at Ray Allen even more shocked.

"Of course, of course..." Bob Hill said again and again.

The whistle blows, the timeout ends and the game continues.

The Sonics players returned to the field.

Bob Hill sat there, looking at them sadly, his expression was complicated for a while, and his eyes were red again...

……

Back to the game.

The Lakers' offensive round.

Lu Yusheng dribbled the ball past half court, but still played the triangle offense.

This time, it was still Mimura who came out to screen for Lu Yusheng off the ball.

The Sonics' strategy is still to switch defenses and not give the Lakers a chance to open.

Mark Jackson wondered, "The Sonics' defense hasn't changed at all. I thought Coach Bob Hill would make them change their defensive strategy and stop switching defenses during a timeout, but they didn't. They still insisted on switching defenses and let their The big center is going to face the Lakers point guard, although the newly replaced Graber is more flexible than Mohamed, but Lu Yusheng, as a No. [-], must have no problem breaking through him."

"Yes, this way, after Lu Yusheng breaks in, whether he chooses to attack or pass, he can directly help the Lakers score."

"No, it's different!" Mark Jackson yelled, "Facing Lu Yusheng, Grabel directly took a big step back! This is to make it clear that he will not let go!"

Lu Yusheng on the court also understood that Coach Bob Hill's timeout was aimed at him.

He was sure that Lu Yusheng's shooting was unstable, so after switching defenses, he simply gave you a certain shooting space, but never let you shoot.

It's time to come.

When he exposed his shooting problem in the last game, he will definitely be ruthlessly targeted in the next game.

Lu Yusheng originally thought that this match could be avoided, but he didn't expect that at the critical moment of the game, what should come, still came...

"Lu, shoot, FK! What are you hesitating about?!"

Kobe said angrily!

Lu Yusheng had no choice but to pull up and shoot!

Grabel quickly saves the block!
Lu Yusheng was taken aback in the air, he didn't expect this guy's bullets to be so fast!
This ball... hit the iron!

That's why Bob Hill replaced Graber.

Although Graber does not have an advantage among inside players, he is flexible, fast, and has a super long wingspan.

If Lu Yusheng really made a shot, he could forcefully interfere with it.
