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

Chapter 210

"You played this game too rigidly." Avery Johnson said to the players during a timeout, "You were not in this state when you played the game before, why didn't you know how to change tonight?
Dirk has been clearly targeted, why are you still indifferent? I have already said that a tactic cannot be played continuously, and it will definitely be targeted by the opponent. It is indeed simple and efficient for Dirk to beat Odom, but when he has already started When targeting, other people must run and cannot stand still and watch, so that he will have no way to fight. "

Facing the head coach's reprimand, the others were also silent.

And this scene was also captured by the camera.

"Oh, we see, Dallas Mavericks coach Avery Johnson seems to be very dissatisfied with the performance of the players." Alan Zucker said.

"I can understand Avery Johnson's anger," Smith said, "He thinks that the Mavericks played with their hands tied up today, and they didn't play the level they should have at all."

"Not only Avery Johnson thinks so, but I actually think so," Alan Zucker said, "I don't know how to describe it, but I just feel that they played hard tonight, their defensive integrity and offense The fluency of the game is not reflected at all, and the overall feeling is very stagnant and uncomfortable, but I am also puzzled about the reason."

"I know why you are confused. Think about it, did they perform well on both offense and defense at the beginning of tonight's game?" Smith asked.

"Yes, that's right," Alan Zucker said, "It stands to reason that at the beginning, Kobe was on the Lakers side. When the opponent has such a strong offensive point on the court, it should be limited to Your defense, but at that time, their defense was very holistic, and the Lakers were able to score, it was purely because Kobe's offensive ability was too incomprehensible.

But at that time, their defensive integrity was actually good. I originally thought that after Kobe was injured, they would play better without the restraint of Kobe, but I did not expect that after Kobe was off the field, they On the contrary, it seems that the playing is getting more and more uncomfortable. The defensive end allows the Lakers to play very smoothly, and the offensive end has also become very stagnant. Nowitzki's singles are really easy to use, but other than that, it doesn't seem to be I was really surprised to see them use other tactics.Senior Smith, what do you think is the reason for their abnormal performance tonight? "

Smith smiled slightly and said, "Actually, the reason is very simple. It was caused by Lu Yusheng."

"Will he have such great energy and influence alone? The problem is that we just said that when Kobe was on the court, such a high shooting percentage did not make the Mavericks so uncomfortable. Could it be that his influence on the court is greater than that of the Mavericks? Is Kobe even bigger?"

Smith smiled, "I know that I will definitely offend the fans when I say this, but since you have mentioned this, I think it is necessary to explain to everyone that there are actually two types of influence on the court.

One is Kobe, who purely uses his super offensive ability to influence the opponent's defense. This kind of influence is something that cannot be met, because throughout the history of the NBA, players with such super personal offensive ability There are only a few players, there are only a few of them, they are the ultimate offensive, they will indeed form a great influence on the opponent, but to be honest, they are purely relying on their own invincible offensive ability, which is natural Formed, but on the court, there is another kind of influence, which is actually rare, and that is to decompose you purely with tactics. "

"Are you talking about Lu Yusheng's type?" Alan Zucker asked.

Smith smiled, "That's right, players like Lu Yusheng, they don't have the outstanding offensive ability of Kobe Bryant, but he will disrupt the opponent's tactics by constructing tactics. No matter what tactics you use, he seems to be able to He has a way to deal with it, and, according to your tactics, he will come up with some unexpected countermeasures, which will make you unprepared and difficult to parry, Lu Yusheng is such a player."

"Then who do you think his template is?" Alan Zucker asked.

"Uh... this type of player, to be honest, I really couldn't find a template in history for a while," Smith said, "Let's put it this way, it's not like there are such tactical minds, but none of them are like him. With his offensive ability, his insight into tactics is not so strong."

"What about the magician?" Alan Zucker asked.

"Magician is very strong, he is very strong in these two aspects, but how to say, even he did not show such tactical analysis ability in his rookie season, I think, this point, he must have admitted it ’” Smith said.

"So, do you think that Lu Yusheng caused trouble for the Mavericks and made them suffer so much today?"

"Yes, in fact, when Kobe was on the court just now, the Mavericks were also a little uncomfortable, but definitely not this uncomfortable. Although they were uncomfortable on the defensive end, their offense has always been good. But after Lu Yusheng came on the court, he used his powerful tactics. The insight ability made the Mavericks suffer on both ends of the offense and defense, and they put too much energy into Lu Yusheng, which led to the reason why they played so stagnantly." Smith said.

Alan Zucker nodded, "Although it may sound like a bit of flattery, after this game, I think it is absolutely convincing."

With a whistle, the game continued.

The Dallas Mavericks had the ball, and after Devin Harris dribbled the ball for halftime, he did not pass the ball to his teammates, but started to dribble himself.

Lu Yusheng thought that this guy was going to start a one-on-one match again, but he didn't expect that Devin Harris suddenly called Nowitzki to pick and roll.

Lu Yusheng was slightly startled!
This is the situation that Lu Yusheng is more worried about.

In fact, Lu Yusheng had already thought about this tactic before. This tactic might be more difficult for Lu Yusheng to deal with.

This will be the ultimate tactic for the Dallas Mavericks. Both Devin Harris and Nowitzki have the ability to jump and attack directly, so after the pick-and-roll, the Lakers will find it difficult to defend. Nowitzki's strong personal offensive ability, as long as it is misplaced, it is basically for nothing.

And if the pick-and-roll player goes around the back to make up defense, both of them have strong shooting ability, and they will definitely shoot without hesitation.

Lu Yusheng and Odom just hesitated for a moment, and Nowitzki directly opened his hand to shoot.

scored!

"Oh, the Lakers didn't seem to react to the ball at all," Alan Zucker said, "When Nowitzki shot, Lu Yusheng and Odom didn't even make any defensive moves at all."

"Yes, after this timeout, the Dallas Mavericks suddenly resorted to their ace tactic, the pick-and-roll of Devin Harris and Nowitzki. It seems that the Mavericks are serious about coming back from this timeout." A Smith said.

"It stands to reason that the Lakers often play pick-and-roll tactics, so they can't be so unresponsive?" Alan Zucker said.

"No, it's different," A Smith said, "Although the Lakers and Lu Yusheng often play this tactic, it doesn't mean that TM can defend all pick-and-roll tactics. You have to remember a truth, that is, from the theory Starting from the angle of view, a perfect tactic cannot be defended head-on, so you can only slowly find a way to adjust it. For the pick-and-roll of Nowitzki and Devin Harris of the Dallas Mavericks, it is almost perfect. Both of them have singles ability, accurate shooting, and excellent coping ability. These are the qualities of a perfect player in pick-and-roll tactics. Therefore, the Lakers did not fail to consider the coping strategy at the first time, but I believe that Lu Yusheng must have been thinking about countermeasures immediately, but he must have found that none of the countermeasures he came up with in his mind seemed to be able to deal with these two guys from the Dallas Mavericks, so he felt that they were in a daze for a while. There."

"Oh, so that's the case," Alan Zucker said, "So, according to you, is there a way for the Lakers to deal with the pick-and-roll tactics of the Dallas Mavericks?"

"There is definitely a solution, but it depends on when Lu Yusheng can think of a suitable countermeasure, just like facing Nowitzki in singles, it will take time, and it is unlikely that he will come up with a solution soon ’” A Smith said.

On the court, the Lakers had the ball. Lu Yusheng was dribbling the ball while still thinking about his countermeasures.

How to defend their pick and roll?

Not easy to do.

Playing offense first, Lu Yusheng still called Odom up to pick and roll for him.

Odom blocked a good space for Lu Yusheng. The Dallas Mavericks also did not have a good countermeasure for the pick-and-roll tactics of the Lakers. They used to go out from behind the pick-and-roll players, but failed. So this time, they chose to switch defenses.

After changing defenses, Lu Yusheng faced Nowitzki. This time, he did not choose to pass the ball. Although passing to Odom to beat Devin Harris was considered a big hit, but Devin Harris' height and wingspan, Odom Dom might not be too sure, so Lu Yusheng decided to come by himself.

Relatively speaking, Nowitzki is still worse at defending perimeter players.His traversing speed is there.

Nowitzki lowered his center of gravity, looking as if he wanted to capture Lu Yusheng, but this did not scare Lu Yusheng. For him who has played to this day, there is no problem at all for this level of small and big players.

Lu Yusheng started to dribble, and after changing direction a few times in front of him, Nowitzki was swayed away and broke through directly!

Mavericks center Eric Dampier saw that Lu Yusheng broke into the inside lane, and hurriedly put down his defensive players and came out to defend.

This is what Lu Yusheng was waiting for. He faked a shot and tricked Eric Dampier into the air.Then a direct pass to the ground was passed to Kwame Brown inside.

When Kwame Brown was unguarded, he exploded on the spot and made a dunk! !

"This time, in the face of the Lakers' pick-and-roll tactics, the Dallas Mavericks chose to switch defenses, but it seems that the effect of this strategy is not very good. Lu Yusheng still easily broke through Nowitzki, and then cheated by fake moves. Eric Dampier on the defense, Kwame Brown on the inside. Easy to score," Alan Zucker said.

"There is no way but to try this way." A Smith said, "Just as the Lakers can't solve the Mavericks' pick-and-roll tactics, the Mavericks can't solve the pick-and-roll tactics of Lu Yusheng and Odom for the time being, so now they can only solve them one by one. Tactically tried it. If my guess is right, back to the Lakers defensive end, they will try the same."

On the field, in Dallas' offensive round, after Devin Harris dribbled the ball for halftime, Nowitzki came up to pick and roll for him.

This time, as A Smith expected, Lu Yusheng changed his defensive strategy and called Odom to switch defenses.

Let him face Nowitzki directly, and let Odom face Devin Harris.

Lu Yusheng estimated that Devin Harris would most likely choose to pass the ball to Nowitzki, and let him play big and small, and beat Lu Yusheng.

After all, as a fourth position, Odom still has some lateral speed. Coupled with his height and wingspan, Devin Harris may not be able to score steadily.

Sure enough, Devin Harris basically passed the ball directly to Nowitzki without any hesitation.

Nowitzki held the ball and faced Lu Yusheng's defense.

Lu Yusheng posted it directly, not giving him room to shoot.

In this case, Nowitzki is not very lucky with the ball. After all, his height and speed are there.

When Lu Yusheng chose to switch defenses, he had already thought about it. He had to defend this ball.

The key to defending is to force Nowitzki to dribble. Nowitzki holds the ball outside the three-point line, so if he wants to hit Lu Yusheng steadily, he must dribble inside. After all, he is too tall, once the ball starts to dribble, Lu Yusheng has a chance to steal it.

But obviously, Nowitzki had predicted Lu Yusheng's thoughts a long time ago. Instead of directly facing Lu Yusheng and starting to dribble, he made a three-threat breakthrough first.

Naturally, Lu Yusheng would not be fooled. With Nowitzki's speed, it was impossible to directly rush Lu Yusheng over.

Seeing that Lu Yusheng didn't take fake moves, Nowitzki made another fake shot.

But this time, Lu Yusheng didn't fall for the trick, he just stuck close to Nowitzki.

This made Nowitzki feel very uncomfortable. It is true that he is far away from the basket. In the case of being unable to break through Lu Yusheng, he only had the option of shooting. It is difficult for him to shoot directly.

So Nowitzki turned around suddenly, and then turned his back to Lu Yusheng and began to squeeze in. Lu Yusheng tried his best to push, although the strength was not as strong as Nowitzki, but when he pushed hard, Nowitzki pushed in. Advancing is still a bit difficult.

However, Nowitzki's back body as an insider is not covered. He made a few fake moves of turning back and forth, so that Lu Yusheng could only move his center of gravity back and forth. Suddenly, Nowitzki turned around and shot a jumper!
Lu Yusheng hastily stretched out his hand to cover it, but... when Nowitzki leaned back and shot the ball independently, Lu Yusheng felt a little hopeless, it was impossible to interfere with it at all!
Sure enough, Nowitzki made the ball steadily!
Lu Yusheng was a little annoyed. It seemed that this defensive method still didn't work.

Then how to defend in the next round?
