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

Chapter 194 The Problem of the Hornets
Lu Yusheng scored against Chris Paul twice in a row, causing the Hornets to immediately call a timeout.

"Based on Byron Scott's habits, he will definitely call a timeout, there is no doubt about it." Magic Johnson said.

"That's right, Lu Yusheng has already scored consecutively, especially against his signature Chris Paul. This timeout must be called." Daniel said.

"No, no, you got it wrong, Daniel," Magic Johnson said, "This timeout is not because Chris Paul was hit twice by Lu Yusheng, but because their tactics were destroyed by Lu Yusheng.
And it was a tactic they had carefully studied before, which was destroyed by Lu Yusheng. Believe me, they must have carefully studied the game between the Lakers and the Spurs. At that time, Chris Paul must have said that it's okay, don't worry, I can handle it by myself. "

"That's in line with Chris' character."

"Yes, I guess it will be like this," said the magician. "After all, although Chris Paul is only a second-year rookie, his defensive ability is absolutely top-notch in the first position. So He must have such confidence, and from the defense of the two balls just now, we can fully feel that the Hornets intend to use Chris Paul's strong personal defensive ability to solve the problem by themselves."

"But they didn't expect that Lu Yusheng is really good at singles. Chris Paul's single defense can't solve it." Daniel said.

"Yeah, that's why I said, this could be a problem for the New Orleans Hornets tonight."

"Why?" Daniel asked puzzled, "If a defensive tactic is defeated, just adjust it, and it won't be a problem tonight, right?"

The magician smiled and said, "It's not an exaggeration at all, Daniel, I can give you two reasons. First, this tactic is not so easy to defend. Think about it, in the entire league, the No. [-] position is actually not that good. He is too good at defending post-ups. After all, few teams use post-ups as the main tactic in the first position.
The reason why the Lakers can do this is actually because Lu Yusheng has the ability to attack in the back, and, more importantly, his back tactic is actually a variant of the triangle offense, so the Lakers can play , but not other teams. "

Daniel nodded, "It makes sense."

"The second reason is that it's just a superficial reason to attack the opponent's point guard with his back. Using this move to change the opponent's defensive formation and thus drive the whole team is the ultimate goal of this move, and Lu Yusheng has exactly Quite good pass handling ability, so I said, this move is not so easy to defend, if it is just a matter of assisting defense, then Popovich will definitely not be so messed up that night."

"That's true."

"Moreover, I guess when the New Orleans Hornets were preparing before the game, they must have thought that Chris Paul's single defense was absolutely no problem, so they didn't prepare any backhands, but now, the problem has arisen, just look at it Can Lenscot find a solution."

"Based on what you know about Byron Scott? Do you think he can easily solve this problem?"

"I think it may not be that easy." The magician smiled, "It's not because I underestimate my old teammate. In fact, he is very capable. At least, in the position of coach, he has done much better than me. .”

Daniel laughed.

The magician went on to say, "But the problem is that the question Lu Yusheng is asking now is a question to all point guards and all coaches in the league, and he cannot solve the problem alone, so I think this is really a question. It's not easy to deal with. Let's see if they have any good solutions."

"Although I definitely recognize your professionalism, after all, I am your die-hard fan." Daniel said, "But regarding Lu Yusheng's post-up singles, I think you are a little sensitive, after all, this is just a There are quite a few players in the league who are proficient in post-up singles, so it won't be a problem for the league, right?"

"No, no, Daniel, you didn't understand me. What I said was not that the technology of post-up singles will cause problems in the league, but that Lu Yusheng, as a point guard, using this technology as a conventional weapon will make the league more difficult. Headache,
Because this is not only for him to score, but also to attract the defense and drive his teammates to score by playing back. This will become a tactic, because no number one will ever do this, so these coaches in the league never think about it. Countermeasures, just like now, I think Byron Scott has no way to solve this problem for a while. "

Seeing that Daniel still couldn't believe it, the magician smiled and said, "It's okay, you'll understand after watching the game later."

whistle.

The game continues!

New Orleans Hornets serve, Chris Paul dribbles half court.

It was still a pick-and-roll tactic, Lu Yusheng went around the back very quickly, and didn't give Chris Paul a chance to operate.

He can only continue to use the pick and roll to find opportunities.

But the Lakers went through the two offenses just now, and their defensive enthusiasm became significantly higher. Chris Paul used pick-and-rolls continuously, but did not find a suitable opportunity.

There is no way, he can only take the initiative to find Odom, and fight big.

Chris Paul keeps dribbling, shaking Odom's center of gravity.

Finally found the opportunity to use the CIC to score!

"Oh, this ball David West blocked Chris Paul four times in a row, so that Paul found a chance to single Odom." Daniel said.

The magician shook his head, "This is not a good sign. I feel that the Hornets' next games may become more and more difficult."

"Why? After all, the goal was scored." Daniel said.

"There is no way to explain it to you now. I will tell you later based on the situation on the court."

The game continues, back to the Lakers' offensive round.

Lu Yusheng still used the strategy just now, running to the low post to ask for the ball.

But this time, Chris Paul obviously thought of a countermeasure, and blocked Lu Yusheng firmly, preventing him from entering the low position to ask for a position.

But this was not difficult for Lu Yusheng, it was just a cover.

He found Odom, took the initiative to hang a screen, and went straight to the low post.

Luke Walton's ball was passed immediately.

Lu Yusheng caught the ball, and while dribbling, he began to look around.

He noticed that this time, when he started sitting on Paul, the wing players and inside players of the New Orleans Hornets all subconsciously moved to his side, trying to help defend at any time.

Lu Yusheng was overjoyed, this is exactly what he wanted!
As long as they dare to help defend, there will definitely be teammates who are open!

Lu Yusheng immediately pushed in. At this moment, he could clearly feel that the other teammates of the Hornets had started to indent toward him.

But this is far from enough.

Lu Yusheng continued to fight inside, turning back and forth one after another, making Paul flustered.

At this time, Lu Yusheng observed from the corner of his eye that David West and Peja Stojakovic were getting closer and closer to him!
Just a little more, just a little bit more!
Lu Yusheng turned around swiftly, passed Paul in an instant, and blocked him with one hand, preventing him from coming over quickly!

In the next second, Lu Yusheng was already close to the basket and could shoot at any time!

He faked a shot!
At this moment, David West and Peja Stojakovic could no longer care so much, and quickly left their defenders to defend Lu Yusheng!

Lu Yusheng saw the opportunity, and from a tricky angle, he hit the ball and passed it to the vacant Odom!
Odom took off directly, and Tyson Chandler on the inside could only let go of Kwame Brown and take off to defend Odom!

Odom tricked Tyson Chandler with a feint and passed it to Kwame Brown!

An earth-shattering dunk! !
This dunk instantly gave the Lakers momentum!
In the next round of defense, the Lakers used their lives and were highly motivated to defend. They did not give the New Orleans Hornets any open opportunities, forcing Chris Paul to continue to switch positions and play Odom.

This goal is also scored! !
Neither side can limit the other's top players and tactics.

The atmosphere of the game immediately reached a high point!Fans stand and cheer!Applause everywhere!

In the next round, Lu Yusheng still received the ball from a low position and responded with a back hit.

This time, the other players of the New Orleans Hornets were even more embarrassed. They felt Lu Yusheng's terrifying passing ability, so they didn't dare to step forward to double-team for a while, but Chris Paul was pushed back by Lu Yusheng. It was really unstoppable Hold Lu Yusheng's advance.

After hesitating, Lu Yusheng turned around and scored a jumper again!
"Wow, it seems that Lu Yusheng has completely mastered the skill of playing Paul in the low post. He didn't even seem to put much effort into this shot, and he scored it directly." Daniel sighed.

"This is what I told you just now, why Lu Yusheng's post-up in the low post will become a problem for the league. Think about it, even Chris Paul's level of defensive ability is helpless, and other No. [-] positions can do nothing. Is there a better way?" said the magician.

In the next round, the Hornets' offensive round, Chris Paul didn't want to misplace Odom, but there was nothing he could do. After all, during this period of time, the overall defensive enthusiasm of the Lakers was really high, and he really couldn't find it. Better opportunities to drive teammates.

This time, he didn't look for Odom in the wrong position, and after choosing the pick-and-roll, he made a quick jumper!
Lu Yusheng's speed of throwing the ball around was still very fast, which interfered with Chris Paul's shooting very well.

This ball is iron!

Back to the Lakers' offense.

Lu Yusheng still carried Chris Paul on his back!

Chris Paul was a little annoyed, this kid really took himself as a persimmon! !
Since he started playing, who dares to look down on his defense like this?

Who dares to play him as a defensive weakness in the first position of those teams?

And he still hit him solo in a row!

Is there any king law?
Seeing David West trying to come over to help defend, Chris Paul couldn't help shouting angrily, "You don't even need to come over, I can do it myself!"

The teammates also clearly felt Chris Paul's anger, and the players who were about to come up to help defend for a while also retreated instantly.

It's totally one-on-one between Chris Paul and Lu Yusheng!

Lu Yusheng also understands that this time attracting defense and assisting his teammates is definitely not enough, so just eat it alone!
Turning around and shaking the center of gravity continuously, and finally took a beautiful turnaround jumper!

Chris Paul jumped desperately to block the shot!
Go straight in!

At the same time, whistle!
Chris Paul was visibly annoyed by this, and this time, he even paid for a foul.

"FK!"

In anger, Chris Paul not only swears heavily, but even hits the ball heavily on the ground!
Unexpectedly, the ball just bounced on the lineman's face!

He staggered the lineman directly!
The referee was not a good-tempered person either, thinking that Chris Paul's move was dissatisfied with him, and it was directly a technical foul! !

Chris Paul didn't expect to vent his emotions, and even got a technical foul, and quickly stepped forward to explain, "Hey, I didn't attack you, you can't call me a technical foul for this kind of ball, right?"

"Say it again, I'll call you a technical foul right away, believe it or not?!" The referee warned.

"Hey, I'm just trying to reason with you."

Chris Paul's tone was obviously low, and he didn't dare to yell anymore. After all, he would be sent off for another technical foul.

"Oh, Chris Paul's technical foul is really a bit wronged. He is obviously because he has been trained by Lu Yusheng consecutively, purely because he was a little discouraged, but he didn't expect that the ball bounced on the referee's face." Daniel laughed.

"So you still think this is not a problem?" The magician smiled, "Daniel, in the few rounds just now, Lu Yusheng not only scored by himself, but when the Hornets' help defense came up, he was able to pass immediately. The ball drives teammates to score, this trick, judging from the current situation on the court, is almost unsolvable.”

"I still think it is possible for coach Byron Scott to use tactics to resolve it and let Chris Paul defend alone. Now it seems that it is indeed difficult."

The magician smiled, "I hope he can find a way."

After Lu Yusheng executed a technical foul free throw, the Hornets immediately requested a timeout.

Byron Scott held the tactical board and said, "Guys, we have encountered a problem. In the past few rounds, we have been beaten by the rookie with the same tactic in a row. This makes our survival defense really difficult. We have no face, we have to find a way to solve it."

"Scott, leave it to me," Chris Paul said, "Give me a few more chances, and I believe I can handle him."

Byron Scott shook his head, "Chris, I know your defensive ability is very strong, but in this situation, there is indeed something wrong with that kid's back, we can't simply use the same method to deal with it, we have to Use tactics to find ways to limit him."

Chris Paul sighed. Although Byron Scott was very euphemistic, he could also hear that the coach obviously didn't believe in his single defense ability.

"Next, we have to defend him like this..."

Byron Scott carefully arranged tactics for everyone...
