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

Chapter 204
Lu Yusheng lowered his center of gravity and fixed on Devon Harris.

Devin Harris began to change direction and dribble in front of his body.

Lu Yusheng knew that this guy's breakthrough speed was very fast, so he deliberately kept a certain distance back, and it was best not to be passed by him in one step.

After Devin Harris changed directions with various dribbles, he felt that Lu Yusheng maintained a good sense of distance, and there was no room for a direct breakthrough, so he began to change dribbles drastically.

Lu Yusheng could see that Devin Harris had to hit him head-on with the ball, and he had no intention of passing the ball at all.

Therefore, Lu Yusheng was more cautious, and subconsciously retreated some space.

But just as he retreated some space, Devin Harris suddenly pulled up and shot directly!

Oops, it's a little too big!
This ball Lu Yusheng also realized that in order to prevent Devon Harris' breakthrough, he retreated too much, so he hurried forward to block the shot!

But it's obviously a bit late, this space is enough for Devin Harris to shoot.

scored!

After the ball was thrown in, Lu Yusheng suddenly noticed that Devin Harris made an OK gesture to Cuban, the boss on the sidelines.

Cuban gave him a look, too.

It was only then that Lu Yusheng realized that Devon Harris had come with Cuban's mission. Lu Yusheng immediately remembered the interview he saw about Cuban today.

It seems that the old boy Cuban is really not very big. After accepting such an interview, he actually thought of letting his point guard Devin Harris play and beat Lu Yusheng violently to prove his remarks. Yes, Lu Yusheng was indeed blown up by the reporters, and he didn't have any real facts.

It's no wonder that after facing Lu Yusheng, Devin Harris insisted on single-handedly scoring, regardless of the position of his teammates.

But that's fine too.

Lu Yusheng thought to himself, since you want to blow me up so much, then I will give you this chance. After all, before, he had to use the aggressive method to make the opponent's point guard single out him in various ways, but this time he didn't use the aggressive method. , the effect is achieved, isn't it very good.

"Looking at the ball just now, Lu Yusheng seemed to let Harris play a bit too much." Alan Zucker said, "Give him plenty of room to shoot."

"Yes, this is indeed Lu Yusheng's weakness all along. When he faces a point guard who is too fast, he always seems to be a little afraid. He is very afraid that the opponent will break through him, so he always takes a big step back, but This is actually not necessary," A Smith said, "In fact, for any player, you can't completely prevent other people's breakthroughs, even the best defensive players, the same is true,
Because for basketball, offense always has an advantage over defense, so if I have a chance to talk to Lu Yusheng, I will definitely tell him this truth. After that, there are still opportunities for teammates to defend, but if you give the opponent enough space to shoot, they will shoot directly, and you will have no chance to stop them. "

Alan Zucker said with a smile, "After this game, I must arrange for you to meet him, and I must tell him this wise saying, otherwise his career will be affected."

"Well, after this game, I have to come to interview him, and I'm ready."

Back on the field.

Lakers ball rights.

Lu Yusheng dribbled the ball across the half court, because the triangle attack was completed just now, so after half court, Lu Yusheng directly passed the ball to Luke Wharton, who was already waiting at the central axis.

Luke Walton holds the ball to support.

But this time, the Dallas Mavericks obviously made a change. They suddenly changed their formation and adopted a strategy of switching defenses.

They didn't let their small forward Josh Howard guard Walton, they let Josh Howard and power forward Nowitzki switch defenses, and Nowitzki guarded Luke Walton.

This time, Luke Walton was a little uncomfortable.

Although Nowitzki has always been criticized by the media and fans for his defense, but let him defend a white third position, Luke Walton, an athletic player, with his height and wingspan, it is not too much. Take it easy.

When Luke Wharton saw this situation, he knew something was wrong. His passing vision was completely restricted by Nowitzki's height and wingspan, and he couldn't see his teammates' movements and running positions at all.

After trying a few times, the ball was almost broken by Nowitzki.

Seeing this, Lu Yusheng hurriedly threw away Devon Harris, ran out of the three-point line and beckoned to Luke Walton for the ball.

Luke Walton also felt the defensive threat and passed the ball directly!

But I didn't expect that as soon as the ball was passed, Nowitzki knocked it down. Although the ball was not directly intercepted, but the direction of the ball changed, Josh Howard had quick eyes and quick hands, and he took the ball!
"Luke Walton made a pass error, and the Mavericks stole it directly! The Mavericks launched a fast break!" Alan Zucker exclaimed, "Oh, the Lakers players didn't expect them to make a mistake at all, so there was no preparation at all , Moreover, this ball, the Mavericks' fast break was also quite beautiful. Devin Harris dribbled the ball first and passed Vujacic, and then tricked Odom with a fake pass, and quickly found the ball that was already going down. Jason Terry, went straight to the empty basket!"

"This ball is really beautiful." A Smith said, "And I didn't expect at all that when the Lakers scored in the triangle offense just now, the Mavericks didn't call a timeout. In the next round, the players on the field can directly make changes. The defense was changed, and the defense was quite effective, directly breaking the ball from the Lakers, and the counterattack was successful, which is really amazing."

"Is it possible that this brother's temporary change is a tactic they prepared in advance?" Alan Zucker said, "After all, everyone knows that the triangle offense is the signature tactic of the Lakers, so I guess Ivor Rie Johnson probably made the preparations in advance, so the players can immediately execute the defensive tactics without a timeout."

"I think this must be the case." A Smith said, "This must be a tactical arrangement they have made before, so I have always said that the main reason why the Dallas Mavericks are strong is because their tactical execution ability is really good. They are too strong. In this regard, they can be compared with the San Antonio Spurs. Tactical execution is a symbol of a strong team. This is why the Dallas Mavericks are strong."

On the court, the Lakers had the ball, and Lu Yusheng dribbled the ball across half court.

This time, he gave the ball to Luke Walton first.

But as soon as Luke Walton received the ball, the Dallas Mavericks immediately changed, and Nowitzki came to match Luke Walton.

This time, Luke Wharton did not delay, and directly passed the ball back to Lu Yusheng.

He also knows very well that when Nowitzki is facing him, the triangle offense cannot be played at all.

Lu Yusheng held the ball and beckoned for Vujacic to step forward to pick and roll for him.

"Oh, it seems that this time the Lakers have to give up their triangle offensive tactics and play pick-and-roll tactics instead." Alan Zucker said.

"It's normal," said A Smith. "You have to know that when Lu Yusheng was on the court this season, the Lakers seldom played the triangle offense. Instead, they played the pick-and-roll tactics that Lu Yusheng was good at. Once the Dallas Mavericks change, the Lakers will definitely not play the triangle offense again.

After all, the triangle offensive tactic has a bit high requirements for tactical axis players. In fact, the reason why the Lakers struggled so hard in the playoffs last season was because of the player Luke Walton, his coping ability It is really limited, because his physical condition is limited, so it is really too easy to be targeted.

Later, the coaches in the league basically reached a consensus, that is, if you want to limit the Lakers' triangle offense, it is very simple. Let the most defensive player in your team limit Luke Walton. If Luke Walton is restricted, it will be difficult for the Lakers to play the triangle offense. "

"You're right," Alan Zucker said, "Last season, when the Suns reversed and overturned the Lakers in the playoffs, the head coach of the Suns, D'Antoni, said the same thing. He said that the Lakers It is purely supported by Kobe's personal ability, and when they find a way to limit the triangle offense, it is only a matter of time before they come back."

"Yes, last season, the Lakers were able to reach that position because Kobe's personal ability was too strong. If it wasn't for Kobe's heyday, then with the lineup of the Lakers last season, it would have been impossible to make it to the playoffs. "

On the court, after the pick-and-roll, Lu Yusheng used his exquisite touch pass to create a completely unguarded open shot for Vujacic. Vujacic did not disappoint Lu Yusheng and made the shot easily.

This season, under the influence of Lu Yusheng, Vujacic's mid-range shooting ability has become more stable. After all, most of his shots are open shots created by Lu Yusheng for him.

Looking back, the Dallas Mavericks attacked. After pretending to pass the ball a few times, Devin Harris asked for the ball back again. Facing Lu Yusheng, he began to dribble and single Lu Yusheng.

This time, Lu Yusheng learned the defensive lesson from last time and did not leave too much shooting space for Devin Harris.

Devin Harris began to dribble the ball drastically, and Lu Yusheng felt the defensive pressure.

These explosive and fast guys are indeed difficult to defend.

Suddenly, Devin Harris suddenly broke through to the right, and the prediction given by the system immediately appeared in Lu Yusheng's mind, this is a fake move!
So Lu Yusheng just pretended to move to the left, but the center of gravity of his body still remained.

Sure enough, Devin Harris thought that Lu Yusheng had been deceived, and immediately made a sharp change in front of his body, quickly pulled the ball back, and then quickly broke through to the left!

But what he didn't expect was that Lu Yusheng suddenly withdrew and immediately blocked his breakthrough route!

Not only that, Lu Yusheng's hand has already moved towards the basketball quickly!
Devon Harris couldn't help being shocked when he saw this!
Dribble backwards now!

within easy reach!

It was almost cut off by Lu Yusheng!
But for this ball, Lu Yusheng had already forced Devon Harris to be quite embarrassed. In order to avoid Lu Yusheng's steal, he retreated so hard that he almost failed to stand still. If it wasn't for his good balance ability, he would almost About to fall to the ground.

He dribbled the ball and looked up at the rookie in front of him, his eyes were obviously full of surprise. In that case, his early change of direction just now, basically most point guards in the league would be easily passed by him.

But who would have thought that the rookie kid in front of him, he had completely predicted his breakthrough intention, quickly followed up, and almost broke the ball!

This kid... really has something...

And Lu Yusheng was also secretly amazed at Devin Harris' reaction and speed. Just now, he had completely predicted his breakthrough route, so he directly made a steal. When facing other point guards before, Lu Yusheng basically Didn't miss it, all broke.

But I didn't expect that this guy, Devon Harris, would be able to react in this situation and retreat quickly. Although he was a little embarrassed, Lu Yusheng did not succeed in stealing after all.

While Devon Harris was amazed, he was also somewhat dissatisfied. He was wondering if it was possible that this kid was just lucky and accidentally hit the big luck, rather than that he had predicted his breakthrough route.

Devin Harris looked up at the timer, and there were still ten seconds of attack time, which was enough for another breakthrough.

So he dribbled the ball backwards, intending to break through Lu Yusheng again.

After all, Cuban, the boss, specifically told him before the game that he must defeat Lu Yusheng head-on in this game.

In addition, their head coach, Avery Johnson, told him the same thing just now. Avery Johnson believes that the Lakers will only have one Lu Yusheng after Kobe is off the court. Therefore, as long as Devin Harris can Beat him head-on and let him lose all confidence, that's like beating the Lakers.

Devin Harris must complete the double task assigned to him by the boss and the coach.

He immediately dribbled the ball again, this time, he repeated the same trick, making exaggerated changes in front of his body, and then used fake moves to deceive Lu Yusheng's center of gravity.

But this time, Lu Yusheng still predicted his breakthrough route and blocked it directly!

Devin Harris was taken aback and had to dribble back the same way!

But this time, there was not enough time to attack, and Lu Yusheng directly intercepted the ball, making it impossible for Devin Harris to pass the ball!
Faced with Lu Yusheng's close defense, Devin Harris panicked for a moment. He wanted to pass the ball to other teammates, but the teammates had no room to catch the ball. Moreover, even if the ball was passed, the teammates received the ball. There is a high probability that there will be no time to shoot.

There is no way, Devin Harris can only jump backwards and make a three-point jumper!
Lu Yusheng tried his best to block it!
In a panic, Devin Harris could only quickly throw the ball in front of him!
This ball... scored!

Lu Yusheng was somewhat helpless. Of course, he was not discouraged. He had already defended the ball to perfection. Devon Harris was able to make the shot. It was entirely due to dribbling, and there was no way around it.

Cuban stands up and applauds Devin Harris, "Hey boy, well done!"

But this time, Devin Harris did not respond to Cuban. He knew very well in his heart that although the goal was scored, in this round, he obviously had the upper hand.
