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

Chapter 202 The turning point of the game

The Dallas Mavericks took the lead and got it on a jump ball.

Handed over to Devin Harris to dribble the ball halfway, Simash Parker stepped forward to defend.

Devin Harris didn't dribble and passed it directly to Josh Howard.

Josh Howard supported the ball, and other teammates shuttled up and down to cover each other.

This is somewhat similar to the Lakers' triangle offense.

But it was different. After finding that there was no chance to run, Devin Harris took the initiative to step forward and make a pick-and-roll for Josh Howard.

Then go down quickly.

The ball was passed to Devon Harris, and Simash Parker, who had lost his defensive position because of the pick-and-roll, rushed up to make up the defense.

But Devon Harris waited until Simash Parker came over, suddenly accelerated and dribbled in the opposite direction!
In an instant, he was separated from Sima Shipa by several body positions!
What a great speed!

Lu Yusheng couldn't help sighing secretly off the court. Not only was this guy fast, but the explosive power of this step just now was quite explosive.

Among the point guards he has guarded before, Dwyane Wade may have this kind of explosiveness.

When Simash Parker was thrown away in an instant, Devin Harris was unguarded and shot a jumper directly!
Easy to score!

Although the Dallas fans have seen the speed of Devin Harris countless times, when they saw him completely throwing Simash Parker away from several positions in just a split second, there were still a lot of emotions for a while. People exclaimed!
Time Warner was in charge of the live broadcast of this game. Their commentator for this game was Alan Zucker, and the commentator invited for this game was none other than the one who caused trouble for Lu Yusheng, A Smith.

"I'm very happy to tell you that this game is another live broadcast across the United States, and the two teams participating in the game are the Los Angeles Lakers and the Dallas Mavericks at home." The commentator here is the famous basketball commentator A Smith from New York. Smith, would you like to say hello to everyone?"

"Hi everyone, I am your old friend, A Smith. I am very happy and honored to be able to explain another focus battle from the West today, the game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Dallas Mavericks." A Smith said.

"Hey, buddy, first of all I have to congratulate you. You've been very popular recently, and you've taken the limelight." Alan Zucker said, "Your affairs are being discussed everywhere. Especially the famous conclusion you made, the Alliance The future position-control nemesis is really too popular."

A Smith laughed, "It's not my credit, it's the kid Lu Yusheng's credit. I just predicted his potential at that time, that's all, and I just predicted it objectively. I didn't think , will suffer so much criticism and accusations at the beginning."

"Oh, dude, you have to understand, you know, Lu Yusheng had only played two games as a rookie at the time, so it must be a bit unacceptable for you to suddenly throw out such remarks, especially Lu is another yellow A point guard with skin, so naturally there are more criticisms, I think you should be able to understand." Alan Zucker said.

"No, no, brother," A Smith said, shaking his head, "I still can't understand why they accused me like that at that time. I told you just now that my prediction was based entirely on objective facts. Who You can’t see the talent of a rookie after two games? You may not know that before Lu Yusheng, I once predicted a rookie, and when I predicted, that rookie played better than Lu Yusheng. Less, and he's only played one game."

"Oh? I've never heard of this, who did you predict?"

"Michael Jordan," A. Smith said, "you can still find that article when you turn on your phone. I wrote that article right after he played his first game. I said The talent shown by Michael Jordan is unprecedented, and he will definitely rule the league in the future. But it is very interesting that the article at that time did not arouse such a big response. Although some people criticized it, it did not It's really hard for me to understand that there aren't so many people standing up and accusing me in the same way."

"Oh come on man, he's Michael Jordan," Alan Zucker said. "That's a whole different concept, okay?"

"What's the difference?" A Smith said, "He only played one game at the time. Who would have known that that brat would become the league's GOAT later on? Just like the prediction for Lu Yusheng, I was only based on the Why did no one criticize what he showed in the first game, but there are so many criticisms when it comes to Lu Yusheng?"

"Of course it's different, dude, you have to know that even though Michael Jordan wasn't the No. It is still the 26th pick. You want everyone to believe that a 26th pick can become the future point guard nemesis of the league as you said. This is indeed a bit exaggerated, so I think this is the main reason everyone accused you reason."

"But the problem is, whether I predict Michael Jordan or Lu Yusheng, it's not because of their picks. I judge them based on their performance and talent, purely because I haven't seen that kind of talent for a long time. ’” A Smith said.

"If you talk about Michael Jordan's talent, I absolutely agree. After all, it is a talent that is visible to the naked eye. But for Lu Yusheng, a yellow-skinned point guard, you can see what kind of talent you can see in two games. I really……"

"Zach, let me tell you, this is your basketball awareness. You have to know that there are many kinds of talents on the basketball court. It's not just about flying into the sky and escaping from the ground. Talent is also a kind of basketball wisdom. talent."

A Smith said, "I don't know if you have watched Lu Yusheng's first game, which was the game between the Lakers and the Suns."

"That game ... I really haven't seen it, I really didn't know how to pay attention to the Lakers before," Alan Zucker said.

"That game was his first show, and he was meeting last season's MVP, Steve Nash, and you must know that Kobe didn't play in the first game, and it was Lu Yusheng who led the Lakers team. , talking to Steve Nash head-on, and he led the Lakers to win that game,
In that game, what Lu Yusheng showed was his tactical control and sense of the court. As a point guard, that was really a talent that I haven’t seen for a long time. You know the last time I See who this talent is? "

"Who?" Alan Zucker asked.

"Magic Johnson," A. Smith said, "People always think that Magic Johnson's achievements are due to his physical gifts. In fact, as a big point guard, he is the most terrifying thing. Talent is the control of tactics and the feeling of the court. This is the reason for his real success.
As for the game between the Lakers and the Suns, to be honest, I just saw it by accident, because you know, how bad this Lakers team would be without Kobe, everyone knows it, it was purely at home that day I was so bored, I just glanced at it casually.

In the end, I didn’t expect that the number 6 of the Lakers really surprised me. In fact, during the time he was on the court, it seemed that he had nothing to do with the two coaches off the court. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a tactical game that I have not seen for a long time. Moreover, it is not from two coaches, but from two point guards on the field.
If it's just Steve Nash, there's nothing to say, after all, his strength is there, but as a rookie, it's his first official NBA game, and he can compete with Steve Nash. It's terrifying to see a master tactician like Nash back and forth.Moreover, objectively speaking, Lu Yusheng did win that match between him and Steve Nash.

Think about it, what kind of configuration is the Lakers, and what kind of configuration is the Suns, except for the two of them, the strength of the two teams is actually very different, and they are not on the same level at all.

But in that game, Lu Yusheng actually led the Lakers to win, and he won with ease, so he really surprised me,

Of course, although I was very excited to watch that game, I did not publish an editorial on the same day. I still want to observe and see if he really has such a high level, or is it just a flash of inspiration. You I also know that there is indeed sometimes a mutual relationship between players and players, and between teams.
I wonder if it's possible that his style of play, or his size, is more restrained than a European point guard like Steve Nash.

So I went back to their second game, and the second game, they faced the Golden State Warriors. "

"Oh, yes, yes, I have an impression of this game," Alan Zucker said, "In that game, there seemed to be a little conflict between him and the bearded Davis."

"Yes," said A. Smith, "that's the game, because I think the big beard is more representative of the American defenders. He is fast, explosive, and in good health. If he can play well with Davis If there is a reply, it means that he does have that strength.

But what I didn't expect at all was that in that game, Lu Yusheng could finish off Davis. At the beginning, he seemed a little at a loss for an explosive and fast defender like Davis. He didn't know how to defend. Davis broke through repeatedly, but in the second half, Lu seemed to have suddenly found a way to defend Davis. Not only was he unable to break through, he even killed him several times.

But what really made me think that Lu Yusheng defeated Davis in that game was on the offensive end. On the offensive end, although Lu Yusheng repeatedly failed to make shots, Lu Yusheng managed to irritate Davis. I guess it's not bad. That's his tactic, he just wants to piss off Davis,
Sure enough, Davis was really fooled and fell into endless singles, letting his teammates run back and forth with him. On the contrary, Lu Yusheng, even though the Golden State Warriors have been defending against him, still Being able to constantly think of ways to overcome, constantly driving teammates to score, and finally killing the Warriors.

So after that game, I really confirmed that this kid really has a talent that I haven't seen for a long time, and, with his basketball wisdom, in the future, he will definitely give other point guards in the league cause a lot of trouble.That's why there was the editorial about the future league point guard nemesis, but I didn't expect that one stone would stir up a thousand waves and arouse such a big response. I can only say that among our colleagues, those who understand the ball really not much. "

Alan Zucker smiled awkwardly. Obviously, he is one of these guys who don't understand the ball.

During their conversation, the field was full of wind and clouds.

The two sides played back and forth, and the score became anxious.

The Dallas Mavericks rely on their strong offensive and defensive systems, especially Smush Parker, who is basically completely blown by Devon Harris. He basically plays now, which is the opponent's breakthrough.

Devin Harris used his breakthrough to constantly break through the pass and drive his teammates to score.

As for the Lakers, when Lu Yusheng was not on the court, they still played the triangle offense they were familiar with.

Objectively speaking, their triangle offense tonight is pretty good, thanks to the fact that Josh Howard, the opponent's third position, is not a physically strong defensive third position, so he does not have enough restrictions on Luke Walton, resulting in Luke Walton's tactical pivot works fine.

Of course, the most important thing is that in this game, Kobe's hands were so hot that he had just come back.

Especially the Mavericks' No. [-] Jason Terry is a short and light No. [-]. He has no ability to limit Kobe at all, and it is as easy for Kobe to score as cutting melons and vegetables.

As long as the Mavericks make tactical adjustments, they begin to double-team Kobe.

But in this game, Kobe felt really good. Even in the face of double-teaming, he still didn't choose to pass the ball, but forced to play. The key is that he can score with various difficulties.

Lu Yusheng sat off the court, watching Kobe's various offensive performances on the court, and couldn't help sighing from the bottom of his heart. This guy's offensive skills are really the strongest in history. If you look carefully, you will find that, really It's all about the details.

Kobe, who feels hot and full of firepower, played the Dallas Mavericks not long after the first quarter and even called two timeouts, but none of them worked. They still couldn't restrain the almost incomprehensible Kobe.

Lu Yusheng thought, if things go on like this, it seems that he basically doesn't need to play to solve the problem in this game. Kobe alone can beat the Dallas Mavericks in the first two quarters with a high probability.

But unexpectedly, the turning point of the game appeared at the end of the first quarter.
