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

Chapter 203

Originally, everything was developing in a favorable direction for the Lakers.

But the accident happened near the end of the first quarter.

After Kobe scored a jumper, he suddenly fell to the ground and clutched his ankle in pain!

"Oops!" Alan Zucker said, "It looks like Kobe is injured."

"Yes, he looks a bit painful." A Smith also said, "From the position where he covered his ankle, it seems to be the position where he was injured last time."

"Isn't the wound recurring?" Alan Zucker said.

"I hope not." A Smith said, "The most fearful thing about this kind of ankle sprain is that it will recur before it recovers, because the second injury may be more difficult to heal."

At this time, the game on the court has been suspended, and all the players of the Lakers surrounded Kobe.

Even Nowitzki walked over and asked about Kobe's condition.

Lu Yusheng was also worried for a while, but don't get hurt, only he knows how much effort Kobe put in for his comeback this time.Moreover, now is the time for the Lakers to really run in and get started.

Whether it is the Lakers or Lu Yusheng, they all hope that Kobe can stay on the court and play.

On the big screen above the arena, the replay of the video of Kobe's jumper landing just now began to play back.

"Oh, we can clearly see from the video that Kobe actually stepped on Nowitzki's foot when he landed after the jump shot just now, which caused a slight twist of his ankle." AI Renzak said.

"Yes, Kobe's right ankle has just been injured," A. Smith said, "so it is extremely fragile, and it is indeed easy to be injured at this time. Oh, God, the thing I was most worried about happened. This is indeed the last time Kobe was injured. the injured part."

"But this is Kobe's first game since he came back from an injury. Who would have known that this would be the result... Now I can only pray that Kobe is fine..."

At this time, the Lakers team doctor Gary Vitti walked into the court and asked about Kobe's condition.

Kobe shook his head, "I'm fine, I feel like I can still play."

With that said, he stood up with the support of his teammates, and tried to move his ankle on the ground, "Oh, Gary Vitti, I feel in good shape, it shouldn't be too bad, I think I can continue to play."

"No, absolutely not!" Gary Vitti resolutely shook his head and rejected Kobe.

"Hey, old man, I didn't lie to you. This time it's true. I feel that the pain just now was really just a temporary pain. It shouldn't hurt inside. I didn't feel any pain. I can continue to fight."

"Kobe, I'm the team doctor, you have to listen to me," Gary Vitti said, "You have to know that this kind of repeated injury, if you don't pay attention to protection, will pose a fatal threat, especially in the ankle. , may threaten your career, and you don’t want to end your career with these three titles, do you?”

The previous words did not make Kobe's old stubbornness back down, but Gary Vitti's last sentence immediately made Kobe honest.

Kobe shook his head helplessly and had no choice but to walk off the court.

"Oh, it seems that Kobe's injury is not as serious as we thought," Alan Zucker said, "at least he was not helped off by his teammates, but walked off by himself."

"Well, I hope he is really okay. I just saw that he should be arguing with their team doctor Gary Vitti. Kobe seems to want to stay on the court, but Gary Vitti disagrees."

"This is normal," Alan Zucker said. "Under normal circumstances, team doctors are cautious and consider the long-term health of the players. It is impossible to consider the outcome of one or two games and let the Athletes took the risk to stay on the court and continue the game. Besides, this is just a regular season after all. It’s really not important enough to bet on the career of an athlete of Kobe’s level. I think it’s better to rest first and wait for the MRI at night. , After the result, if there is really nothing wrong, then consider the matter of playing, I think this will be a more reasonable arrangement."

"But after Kobe is off the court, I think it will have an impact on the current rhythm of the Lakers on the court," A Smith said, "Kobe played very well tonight. The better, so from the first quarter until now, the strategy adopted by the Lakers is to play around Kobe, and all the tactics revolve around Kobe's offense. It may be difficult for other teammates to adapt for a while, and their offensive rhythm may be interrupted."

"So at this time, how do you think Zen Master Phil Jackson should arrange it?" Aronzak asked.

"Oh, it's too simple, the answer is obvious, and there is only one, that is to quickly replace Lu Yusheng, let him quickly stabilize the morale of the army, and he will also use it to organize everyone and let them enter another offensive rhythm go."

But this timeout, Zen Master did not bring Lu Yusheng up immediately as A Smith said.

Regarding this point, Lu Yusheng is completely understandable. After all, just like the previous games, if Kobe is unable to play for the rest of the game, then Lu Yusheng will become the absolute core of the Lakers and the Dallas Mavericks. Focus on taking care of the object until the end of the game, so he needs plenty of rest.

Moreover, after all, the score on the court is balanced at present, and even the Lakers still have the lead, so at this time, there is absolutely no need to replace Lu Yusheng on the court.

Lu Yusheng very much hopes that the Lakers teammates can work harder and maintain this advantage in the future.

After all, the Lakers do have players who have increased the ball this season. Odom and Bynum have grown very quickly, and they can already play their own role in the interior.

If it weren't for Kwame Brown still occupying the starting position, in fact, with Bynum's current state, Lu Yusheng thinks that he is actually better than Kwame Brown, especially on the defensive end. Much better than Kwame Brown.

Kwame Brown is too physically fit, with fast bounces and good bounces, but this is also a common problem of some athletes with too good physical condition. They always prefer to jump on the defensive end. After all, their early career, because their bodies Others are too good, so they can basically block shots when they take off.

But after arriving in the NBA, this habit must be corrected immediately, otherwise it will be too disadvantageous in defense.

During the recent period, Lu Yusheng carefully observed Bynum and found that this kid is still good. He hasn't seen too good talent on the offensive end yet, but he is definitely worth looking forward to on the defensive end. This kid's sense of defensive position is still Very good.

And he has a good attitude and a positive defense. At least for now, he hasn't shown his stupid basketball IQ when he was shuffling and blowing.

And Odom's improvement is that he is more comprehensive, and his previously unstable shooting is now obviously better.

Of course, this is also due to the arrival of Lu Yusheng, which has changed the Lakers.Let other teammates get more opportunities.

Vujacic also benefited. Under the influence of Lu Yusheng, his statistics reached a career high.

Especially scoring, with the blessing of Lu Yusheng's pick-and-roll tactics, he benefited a lot. Most of the points were after the pick-and-roll, received a pass from Lu Yusheng, and directly made jump shots.

Therefore, Lu Yusheng reckoned that even if he didn't play for the time being, the Lakers wouldn't collapse for a while, at least they could maintain it.

But Lu Yusheng only counted their progress, but forgot one thing, that is, their progress was entirely due to his super organizational ability and restraint.

When Lu Yusheng was not on the court, they couldn't find the rhythm of offense and defense at all.

Therefore, not long after the suspension of Kobe's injury, the Dallas Mavericks quickly overtook the score and stopped the Lakers.

Lu Yusheng sat off the court and shook his head. He really underestimated how an excellent point guard can change the situation on the court.

Devin Harris of the Dallas Mavericks faced Smash Parker and it could be said that he could do anything he wanted, break through, and the organization was omnipotent.

And their shooting guard Jason Terry, without Kobe's level of defensive pressure, is even more comfortable. Vujacic has no way to limit him, scoring consecutively, just like Jordan coming.

On the Lakers side, because the offense couldn't find the rhythm, their defensive enthusiasm was also affected. They made consecutive mistakes, and soon the Dallas Mavericks reached a [-]-point lead.

At this time, the Zen master couldn't sit still and asked for a timeout hastily.

"The Lakers' timeout is probably to replace Lu Yusheng." Alan Zucker said. "When the Lakers lost Kobe, Lu Yusheng was the absolute backbone. I don't understand why Zen Master didn't replace him immediately."

"Yes, I'm also very puzzled," Smith said, "I think Zen master still overestimates the Lakers. Without Lu Yusheng and Kobe, they are completely in a state of disunity, and it is impossible to resist the Mavericks' offense. Yes, it turned out that he only changed to Lu Yusheng now, which is really a little too big."

"Yes, and I think that in the current backward situation, if Lu Yusheng comes up again, he will be under a lot of pressure, which may affect his rhythm." Alan Zucker said.

"I'm not too worried about this." Smith laughed, "You may not watch Lu's games very much, and you don't know much about them. In fact, Lu Yusheng has been playing this kind of games recently. Anyway, I have watched them for so long. Lu Yusheng seems to have been facing this kind of competition all the time."

"really?"

"Of course, that's why I've been really angry with Zen Master recently. It's obvious that Lu Yusheng could solve the problem earlier, but every time he waited until the team was completely behind before thinking of letting Lu Yusheng play, so basically every time , Lu Yusheng always played against the wind after playing,
But fortunately, this kid is very capable. He seems to be very suitable for playing against this kind of headwind. No matter how difficult it is, he seems to have a way to solve the problem, and finally he can come back and win.So I said, in fact, I'm not too worried about letting Lu Yusheng play against the wind, I'm just worried that Zen Master will make another trick. "

Alan Zucker laughed.

After the timeout ended, the Zen Master sent Lu Yusheng as expected.

The Lakers served and Lu Yusheng dribbled the ball across half court.

Devin Harris stepped forward to defend.

Lu Yusheng was not greedy and passed the ball directly to Luke Walton.

"After Lu Yusheng came up, he didn't rush to play pick-and-roll tactics, but first played their regular triangle offense." Alan Zucker said.

"Yes, this is his habit. Every time he comes up, he still plays the triangle offense first. Maybe he still wants to follow the rhythm of his teammates. After all, the triangle offense is their main tactic. Everyone is familiar with this tactic." Smith said.

On the field, Luke Walton supported the ball at the free throw line, and Lu Yusheng directed his teammates to run.

Lu Yusheng took advantage of Odom's cover to take advantage of the opportunity!

Luke Walton's ball was given instantly!

Lu Yusheng made an open shot and scored!

"Oh, the ball was clean and neat, and it didn't give the Mavericks any chance to defend." Alan Zucker said, "This kid seems to have something, and he can solve the problem as soon as he comes up."

"Yes, this is what I told you about him, the talent he has shown, no matter what kind of difficulties or dangers the team encounters, as soon as he is replaced, he can immediately respond , make a difference, this is also a very important talent, but it is not so obvious, it is very hidden.

But this is definitely a talent only for superstars, because when you are at a disadvantage, if you want to make an immediate contribution and change the situation, you must first have excellent skills, which is the minimum, because when you are at a disadvantage, It means that the opponent has an advantage. At this time, their defensive enthusiasm is very high, so if you do not have excellent skills, it is difficult to easily break through their defense. Secondly, you need a strong psychological quality, able to withstand pressure operate under the circumstances.

And this is Lu Yusheng's advantage. If he only does it once or twice, it may be a fluke, but he has indeed been playing this kind of game recently, and he can make contributions as soon as he plays. I only have this kind of player. Seen it in Michael Jordan and Magic and Kobe Bryant, that's his talent. "

On the court, the Dallas Mavericks attack.

Devin Harris dribbled the ball halfway, and Lu Yusheng stepped forward to defend.

Lu Yusheng thought that he would pass the ball to Josh Howard as he did before, but unexpectedly, he did not pass the ball.

Start dribbling straight away.

Lu Yusheng saw it, he did it on purpose, obviously to single him out.

Before that, they had been playing against Josh Howard's support. When Lu Yusheng came up, they suddenly changed their tactics and started to break through. This was obviously aimed at him!
