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

Chapter 205

"Devin Harris is really good." Alan Zucker sighed, "This kind of ball can be scored."

"Well, there is indeed something. From the moment he entered the league, I said that he does have a certain talent in offense." A Smith said.

"What about the other aspects?" Alan Zucker said, "After all, as a point guard, offensive ability is of course important, but I don't think it is the most important. I would like to hear your evaluation of other aspects of him. "

A. Smith smiled, "You have mentioned the important aspects. As a point guard, I think he lacks some imagination when organizing the offense. Moreover, on the defensive end, his ability to understand tactics in real time also shows Not too good, which limits his development."

"But I think his ability to create opportunities for his teammates seems to be pretty good. At least in this game, many teammates have enjoyed the offensive space brought by his breakthrough."

"You are right. Indeed, this is indeed his advantage, but the problem is that this is only his current advantage. Whether it will be his advantage in the future is hard to say." A Smith said.

"Why?" Alan Zucker asked puzzled.

"It's very simple, what is his means of creating offensive opportunities for his teammates now?"

"Breakthrough."

"That's right, but breaking through this thing requires talent, speed, and explosive power. These are things you only possess when you are young. Once you get old or suffer from injuries, it is easy to lose these things.
I won’t say anything else, just take Allen Iverson, who has broken through the ceiling of this technology, as an example. Even he will be troubled by age and injuries. Think about how explosive he was when he was young, and when he loses speed When it comes to explosive power, you can see how struggling he is now. "

"So you're saying that once Devin Harris gets older or gets injured, he's going to struggle as well?" Alan Zucker asked.

"Yes, this is a very real problem. As a point guard, when you can no longer create offensive opportunities for your teammates, your situation will be very dangerous. Allen Iverson is a combo guard. Now The status of the team is in jeopardy, let alone everyone else." A Smith said.

"Wait a minute," Alan Zach said, "Senior, you mean... Allen Iverson's position in the 76ers is in jeopardy now? Is there such a thing?"

A Smith frowned, "Why, didn't you hear any wind?"

"No," Alan Zucker said, "I just heard that some time ago, Allen Iverson and the 76ers' management were a little unhappy because he was often late for training, but how to say, this kind of thing, For Allen, it's not news, and it won't affect anything, right?"

A Smith laughed, "Listen to the seniors to tell you a few NBA rules. You are still young, and it may help your career."

"Oh? All ears."

"Generally speaking, it's normal for conflicts between the team and the management to occur, but basically they seldom explode. Do you know why?" A Smith asked.

"why?"

"That's because, under normal circumstances, when conflicts arise, the management will compromise. This is because the star is still at his peak and he is still very important to the team, so the management will compromise," said A Smith. "So, once this kind of news breaks out, it means that the management has not compromised, which means that you are no longer so important in the management's mind, do you know what I mean? ? "

Alan Zucker nodded thoughtfully, "I seem to understand, so you mean... In the eyes of the 76ers' management, Allen Iverson is no longer the one who can make them compromise. A star, right?"

"Of course, remember, this is the law of the NBA," said A Smith. People will find a way to trade Allen Iverson, do you believe it?"

"Ah? This..." Alan Zucker didn't know how to answer the question. After all, he hadn't heard any rumors about this, and he also knew his predecessor, A Smith, who had always been famous Big mouth, he didn't want to offend Allen Iverson fans.

A Smith laughed, "Remember what I told you today, believe me, soon, there will be trade rumors."

On the court, the Lakers were on the offensive end, and Lu Yusheng still played his pick-and-roll tactics.

This time, the Dallas Mavericks did not choose to double-team, but chose to switch defenses.

Obviously, the Dallas Mavericks have also carefully studied Lu Yusheng's pick-and-roll tactics, otherwise they wouldn't have changed formations on the field as soon as Lu Yusheng formed one.

Lu Yusheng also understands that this change is obviously reasonable. After all, their No. [-] Jason Terry is also a combo guard with a fast movement speed, so he switches defenses with Devin Harris, and he will defend Lu Yusheng , and there is no problem with Devin Harris defending Vujacic.

This is the advantage of the Dallas Mavericks. After the first and second positions are switched, there is no problem of dislocation at all.

Of course, this did not bother Lu Yusheng. When he saw that Jason Terry was defending him, he immediately handed the ball to Luke Walton, gave him a wink, and quickly went to the low post. up.

Jason Terry hurriedly followed.

After Lu Yusheng settled down, Luke Wharton passed the ball directly.

Facing Jason Terry, it was obviously difficult for Lu Yusheng to break through him head-on. After all, Jason Terry's speed was there.

But Jason Terry was shorter after all, and Lu Yusheng's low-post singles were tailor-made for him.

"Oh, low-post singles. Lu Yusheng wants low-post singles against Jason Terry!" Alan Zucker said, "This is the magic weapon for the Lakers recently, which has caused headaches for many strong teams such as the Spurs and New Orleans Hornets .”

Lu Yusheng held the ball and faced Jason Terry with his back. After making two fake moves, he held the ball and pushed inside.

Jason Terry tried his best to push forward, but obviously his strength was still insufficient, and he couldn't withstand Lu Yusheng's back push.

When he was in the right position, Lu Yusheng saw that no one from the Dallas Mavericks was coming forward to help him, so he made a fake turn forward, throwing off Jason Terry's center of gravity, and then turned around and shot a jumper!
scored!

"Oh, it's a beautiful fadeaway shot, and it's been scored steadily!" Alan Zucker excitedly said, "It seems that Lu Yusheng is getting more and more comfortable with this low post shot. Facing Jie, who is a little shorter than him, Sentry, without any hesitation, directly scored with a fadeaway jumper! Jason Terry knew that he had lost his defensive position, and he didn't even try to interfere with the ball by jumping up again.

Senior, in the last game, Magic Johnson said that Lu Yusheng's low post-up singles created a problem for point guards and coaches all over the league. What do you think of this? "

A Smith laughed, "Of course I agree too much. To be honest, those who criticize the magician for protecting the calf and talking nonsense really don't understand the ball. As a legendary point guard in history, the magician Even if he protects his shortcomings and deliberately promotes the Lakers players, he will definitely not use this kind of thing to promote him. You know, what he said is that this will be a tactical revolution for the current NBA conventional skills and tactics. If it is really pure It's just that the magician is exaggerating, so why can't even the coaches of the strong western teams like Popovich and Barron Scott solve it?"

"So you also think that the tactic of letting the point guard play in the low post is a tactic that is currently difficult for league coaches to solve?" Alan Zucker asked.

"Yes, from the current point of view, I also think that it can be solved in a short time, unless there are some special teams whose No. [-] position itself has a strong ability to defend low post backs."

"But I think Chris Paul's defensive ability in the first position is strong enough."

"Attention, Zach, I'm talking about the ability to defend low post singles, not pure defensive ability. This is a different thing for the point guard position." A Smith said, "I don't deny it, Chris Paul His defensive ability is indeed very strong, but this does not mean that he can defend against post-ups, especially for his height, defending low-post post-ups is simply too bad."

"Then you said just now, individual teams, which teams are you referring to? If even Chris Paul can't defend, I really can't think of any other team that can defend this tactic." Alanza K said.

"I just said that a team with this kind of player can play the first position and has the ability to defend the low post, for example, the Golden State Warriors." A Smith said.

"Warriors?" Alan Zucker was obviously surprised, "Do you think Baron Davis has such a defensive ability?"

"No, I'm not talking about Baron Davis, I'm talking about their second position, Monta Alice," A Smith said, "Although Monta Alice is not tall enough to play the second position, but He's been, really, been playing the [-] so he's definitely capable of defending the post up because he's been doing those things and if the Golden State Warriors switch baron davis and monta alice If so, I think it is possible to limit this tactic.”

On the court, when Lu Yusheng ate Jason Terry in the low post, the Dallas Mavericks turned around and used Nowitzki's golden rooster independent jumper to return the favor.

Then back to the Lakers' offensive round again, Lu Yusheng still let Vujacic play pick-and-roll tactics first.

This time, the Dallas Mavericks were obviously in a mess. They didn't know whether they should continue to switch defenses. After all, once they switched defenses, Lu Yusheng would play Jason Terry in the low post.

During this hesitation, Lu Yusheng's sudden breakthrough caught the Dallas Mavericks by surprise, and the inside players had no choice but to step forward to defend. Lu Yusheng faked the pass, tricked the supplementary defense player, and went straight to the inside Bynum!
An earth-shattering dunk!

"Wow, Lu Yusheng gave the ball beautifully," Alan Zucker sighed, "Suddenly break through, and then use shooting fakes to attract the defense and create opportunities for the inside. His thinking seems very clear. But I feel, The defense of the Dallas Mavericks seems to be a bit chaotic this round, isn't their defense thinking very clear before, what happened all of a sudden?"

"It's very simple. They were disrupted by Lu Yusheng's low-post singles just now," A Smith said. "Think about it, their previous strategy was to switch defenses when facing Lu Yusheng's pick-and-roll tactics. Anyway, their first and second positions are almost the same, and switching defenses basically has no effect on defense.

But they probably didn't expect that when Jason Terry switched defenses in front of Lu Yusheng, Lu Yusheng would go to the low-post military training Jason Terry without hesitation, and he played very easily, which led to In the next round, when they faced Lu Yusheng's pick-and-roll, they were a little at a loss, because the tactics formulated before the game were resolved by Lu Yusheng just now, and they didn't know how to play for a while, so Lu Yusheng took advantage of them. While hesitating, he directly broke through them.

This is actually a chain reaction. It is entirely because his low post singles are too destructive to the Mavericks' defensive tactics, and the Mavericks have no way to solve this problem, so I guess, probably their head coach will soon Call a timeout to solve this problem, otherwise it will be very detrimental to the Dallas Mavericks if this continues. "

A. Smith's guess is completely correct. After the Lakers scored this goal, the Dallas Mavericks immediately requested a timeout.

This timeout, Dallas Mavericks head coach Avery Johnson was very dissatisfied with the performance of the players.

"Why didn't anyone try to help defend him when he singled Jason Terry in the low post? How did we formulate strategies before the game?"

The crowd was silent.

"Josh Howard, remember what I told you, you are an important link in our defense of his low post, you have to move to do it, understand?"

Josh Howard nodded.

"This tactic, as we said before, is not so easy to handle. It must be completed by everyone moving together. There is absolutely no way to limit him on the field like you just now." Avery Johnson said.

"Hey, your words are somewhat exaggerated," said Cuban on the side. "That kid is definitely not that exaggerated. I think Devin Harris beat him easily."

"It's not an exaggeration at all." Avery Johnson repeated, "Boss, I still say that, you are my boss, I respect you very much, but please also respect me. When I am working, don't interrupt my train of thought."

"Okay, okay." Cuban smiled, and he turned to Devin Harris and said, "Don't hesitate, he is not your opponent, use your skills to embarrass him."
