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

Chapter 212 Epiphany
When the game between the Lakers and the Mavericks reached the last quarter, the two sides were still anxious.

This round, when Nowitzki and Devon Harris picked and rolled again, Lu Yusheng didn't know what to do for a while.

But Odom has already switched defenses, so Lu Yusheng can only choose to switch defenses.

Lu Yusheng faced Nowitzki, although he was a little desperate, but he still tried his best to cheer up and continue to defend.

This time, Nowitzki tricked Lu Yusheng with fake moves, and then made a fallback jumper.

Lu Yusheng tried his best to interfere, even though he knew that his interference had little effect on Nowitzki, but he still tried his best to interfere.

But this time, Nowitzki didn't make the shot, the ball was short, crashed on the front edge of the basket, and bounced out!
Lu Yusheng was ready to serve, but he didn't expect the ball to miss. He couldn't help being overjoyed, and rushed over to grab the rebound!
It just so happened that the ball really crashed in Lu Yusheng's direction, and the others couldn't reach it at all, and Lu Yusheng picked up a rebound for nothing!
Lu Yusheng held the ball and directly launched a fast break!

The other teammates of the Lakers team quickly go down!
While dribbling the ball, Lu Yusheng kept his eyes on the six directions.

It has to be said that the strikers of the Dallas Mavericks returned to defense very quickly. Devin Harris, Jason Terry, and Josh Howard returned to defense very quickly.

Therefore, Lu Yusheng didn't find a better opportunity to pass the ball for a while.

But when he noticed that Vujacic had gone to the right corner for a three-pointer, he immediately turned in the opposite direction of Vujacic, started dribbling the ball on the left, passed Jason Terry with a fake move, and instantly attracted everyone attention.

At this time, everyone in the Dallas Mavericks thought he was going to layup, or pass the ball to Luke Walton on the left wing!

Therefore, the defensive encirclement quickly approached Lu Yusheng and Luke Wharton!

Lu Yusheng pretended to make a layup!
Devon Harris and Josh Howard immediately took off to block the shot!
But Lu Yusheng suddenly withdrew the ball, flicked it behind his back, and flung it towards Vujacic in the right corner!
The Dallas Mavericks couldn't help being taken aback, but it was too late, Vujacic had no one in front of him, and made a direct three-point jumper!

scored!

89: 89!

The Lakers tied the score!

"Wow, this fast break, Lu Yusheng's handling is really beautiful, he dribbled the ball directly to the left, broke through Jason Terry, attracted the attention of the Dallas players, and then sneaked out I found Vujacic, who was already ambushing in the bottom corner, and this crucial three-pointer directly tied the score!" Alan Zucker said.

"It's a nice pass, but it's mostly because the Mavericks aren't returning as efficiently as they used to," A. Smith said.

"No," Eluzak said, "I feel that just now they, Devon Harris, Jason Terry, and Josh Howard, returned to defense very quickly. This prevented the Lakers from directly forming Layup."

"No, no, I'm talking about the return efficiency, which is not as high as before." A Smith said, "Think about it, when the Lakers launched a fast break before, the Dallas Mavericks' return defense was at least four people. , The speed is very fast, but in the round of defense just now, only three people returned to the defense, and Nowitzki and Dampier did not return to the defense at all. If one of them returned to the defense, the ball would never be open."

"Oh, you said that, it seems to be the same." Alan Zucker said, "But it's normal. In the fourth quarter, the physical strength of the big men will indeed be insufficient."

On the court, the Dallas Mavericks have the ball.

Devin Harris dribbled the ball through the half court and the Lakers were ready, especially Lu Yusheng, who was ready to defend their pick and roll, but this time, to Lu Yusheng's surprise, Nowitzki did not step forward Pick and roll for Devin Harris.

Devin Harris handed the ball directly to Josh Howard and let him start to respond.

The rest of the team began to screen and run for each other.

They don't play pick-and-roll tactics anymore?
why?
Lu Yusheng didn't quite understand for a while, just because one of them didn't score just now, why didn't they play?

Of course, he couldn't care less about these things now.

"Switch when you encounter cover!" Lu Yusheng shouted.

At this time, you must not give the opponent the opportunity to cover an open shot.

Even if you give the opponent a misplaced singles, you must never give the opponent a chance to open up.

Under Lu Yusheng's strategy of switching defenses, the other teammates of the Dallas Mavericks did not have the opportunity to cover the open space, so they could only return the ball to Nowitzki and let him single-play Odom.

Odom hasn't faced Nowitzki head-on for a long time, so this time he took his defense extra seriously.

But what he didn't expect was that Nowitzki passed the ball directly.

Passed inside center Dampier.

Dampier was also stunned for a moment. At this time, the attack time was running out, so he could only single Kwame Brown by himself.

However, Dampier has not had the ball for a long time in this game, so the offensive end is somewhat rusty.

After carrying Kwame Brown a few times, he found that Kwame Brown's strength was not inferior to him at all, so he had to attack head-on and make a hook shot!
But Kwame Brown's bounce and wingspan obviously interfered with him. The ball was short, and Kwame Brown directly grabbed the rebound and handed it to Lu Yusheng!

Lu Yusheng dribbled the ball across half court.

Still call Odom out to play pick-and-roll tactics.

This time the Dallas Mavericks did not adopt the strategy of switching defenses, but let Devin Harris go around the defense from behind Odom.

But Devin Harris's circling defense is much slower than Chris Paul's circling defense, not as fast as Paul at all.

An empty seat soon appeared in front of Lu Yusheng!
Naturally, Lu Yusheng would not miss this kind of opportunity.

He reached the second level and opened his hands to shoot!

scored!

Lu Yusheng felt that the strategy of the Dallas Mavericks in the past few rounds just now made him feel a little weird and abnormal. After all, they played smoothly both on the offensive and defensive ends before, so why did they suddenly change their strategy?
Just because one goal didn't score, change the whole strategy?

This is too unreasonable, right?

Lu Yusheng was somewhat skeptical, whether they were doing something, holding back their big moves.

In the next round, it was the turn of the Dallas Mavericks' offensive round.

After Devin Harris dribbled the ball for halftime, it was still handed over to Josh Howard to support him, and he still didn't play the pick-and-roll tactics they had just played very well.

But in this case, Lu Yusheng was also unambiguous, and directly instructed his teammates to switch defenses when encountering pick-and-rolls like just now. Under this kind of defense, the Dallas Mavericks still had no room to find.

In the end, the tactics were killed, and he could only hand it over to Dampier for singles, but this time, Dampier obviously did not have much confidence in his singles, and passed the ball directly to Devon Harris outside.

Devin Harris glanced at the attack time, and it was obvious that there was not much time left. He had no way to organize an attack, so he could only single Lu Yusheng.

But Lu Yusheng was basically very experienced in defending him before, so this time, Lu Yusheng was obviously worthy of defending him against Devin Harris, but Devin Harris was obviously a bit weak. It's been a whole game, and he obviously hasn't found a way to break through and become Lu Yusheng.

This kid's defense is a bit strong.

But at this time, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and dribble the ball to play.

Lu Yusheng put up a defensive stance.

The home fans of the Dallas Mavericks, seeing the duel between the two vacancies, couldn't help cheering for Devin Harris.

But come on, Devin Harris still didn't take advantage of Lu Yusheng this time. His previous breakthroughs did not work at all. Lu Yusheng predicted the direction of his breakthrough several times, and once again Almost stealing the ball, the forced Devin Harris had no choice but to shoot hastily.

The ball went straight to a three-point shot and went out of bounds.

Seeing this situation, the home fans who were originally cheering for Devon Harris turned into boos in an instant.

Devon Harris wiped his sweat silently, with a helpless expression on his face.

Nowitzki walked over, patted Devin Harris on the shoulder, and said, "It's okay, let's play the pick-and-roll next round, after all, they can't prevent our pick-and-roll."

Devon Harris was taken aback, looked at Nowitzki, and finally nodded.

"Oh, the goal of Devin Harris was sprayed by the home fans." Alan Zucker laughed, "It seems that the home fans also don't want him to fight."

"You're wrong, Zach, the reason why Devin Harris was booed for this goal was not because the fans thought he was messing around. Yes, so he has been behaving normally all the time, and he didn't hit me indiscriminately, just now he was booed by everyone, purely because of this duel with Lu Yusheng, he lost, and was defended by Lu Yusheng, who threw an air ball." A Smith said.

"That's right. The home fans also really want to see their own players win in this kind of matchup. Besides, Lu Yusheng is so popular now, they must also hope that their point guard can beat him." Allen Zach laughed, "But I didn't expect that Lu Yusheng's defense was so good that Devin Harris didn't find any chance at all."

"Yes, they have this kind of mentality. Of course, I think it's a bit unfair for Devin Harris to be booed for this ball. After all, he doesn't have much attacking time when the ball is in his hands. Moreover, the most important thing is that this The one-time tactic was not initiated by him, nor was he allowed to execute the single-player tactic. It was simply that the Dallas Mavericks did not get a good offensive opportunity, and finally passed him a throw-away ball. This kind of ball cannot be scored. I I don't think he can be blamed," A Smith said.

"I think so too. Moreover, I can't understand the tactical arrangement of the Dallas Mavericks in these few rounds. Both offense and defense seem to be a bit abnormal. They played a very good pick-and-roll before, why did they suddenly give up? Already?" Alan Zucker said, "Now the game has come to the decisive moment, but their mysterious operations in these two rounds directly allowed the Los Angeles Lakers to overtake the score, which really makes it difficult for me to understand." K said.

A Smith laughed, "I really find it difficult to understand this point, but how to put it, I think we can see the problem, and the players on the field and the coaches off the field must also be able to see the problem. There must be a reason for doing that, and these reasons, we have no way to understand off the court, so I guess, they must have encountered some problems on the court, so they made changes out of desperation, let's see Take a look, maybe you can see it."

On the court, the Lakers had the ball, and Lu Yusheng still played pick-and-roll with Odom. This time, the Dallas Mavericks still adopted the strategy of letting Devin Harris circle behind Odom to defend, which made Lu Yusheng very puzzled. , This kind of ball is basically free!
Lu Yusheng was not polite, he opened his hands and shot, and once again helped the Lakers score two points!

93:89, the Lakers widened the score gap to four points!

"During this period, the Dallas Mavericks had problems on both ends of the offense and defense, which caused the Lakers to overtake and open the score," A Smith said. Head coach Avery Johnson may be about to ask for a timeout."

Dallas Mavericks possession of the ball.

Devin Harris dribbled the ball for halftime, and Lu Yusheng thought they would still leave it to Josh Howard to support him, but unexpectedly, this time, Nowitzki came up to pick and roll for Devin Harris!
"Oh, the Dallas people have restored the pick-and-roll tactics of Devin Harris and Nowitzki. This is the best tactic they have been leading in this game!" Alan Zucker said.

Lu Yusheng still adopted the strategy of switching defenses, and in the end, he faced Nowitzki.

Devin Harris didn't pass the ball to Nowitzki. It was obvious that he wanted to play Odom by himself, but what he didn't expect was that Nowitzki was inside the three-point line. One step later, leaning against Lu Yusheng, he opened his hand to ask for the ball.

This ball, Nowitzki wants to play.

Devin Harris froze for a moment, looked at Nowitzki, saw that he was very determined to ask for the ball, so he had to pass the ball.

Lu Yusheng defended Nowitzki, and Nowitzki still made a few three-threats, but this had no effect on Lu Yusheng. In the end, he turned his back to Lu Yuyu and began to dribble and make fake moves to push inside.

This was Lu Yusheng's biggest headache, but even at this time, he still put on an active and hard-working attitude to defend Nowitzki.

But for this ball, Lu Yusheng could clearly feel that Nowitzki's strength and feints were not as strong as before, and his feints were not so exaggerated.

This gave Lu Yusheng confidence!
He struggled against Nowitzki, making it difficult for him to push inside.

This time, Nowitzki was indeed pushed there by Lu Yusheng, and he didn't push in for a long time.

In the end, he chose to turn around and jump back!
But this kind of jump shot with no space, the shot that was firmly stuck under Lu Yusheng's body, was obviously uncomfortable. This shot, as expected, was short!
At this time, Lu Yusheng's mind suddenly flashed the words Zen Master told him before, and he suddenly understood the meaning of Zen Master's words! !
