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

Chapter 145

Back on the field.

The game continues.

Jazz attack!
Di Brown dribbled the ball halfway, Lu Yusheng stepped forward to defend.

DiBrown still called Kirilenko's pick-and-roll.

Lu Yusheng has already observed the characteristics of Di Brown's pick-and-roll off the court. His pick-and-roll is somewhat similar to his own, and he uses superb passing to open up the situation.

Moreover, when facing different defenses, he reacts quickly enough on the spot and has a strong ability to handle the ball.

Therefore, Lu Yusheng actually didn't think about how to defend the little man's pick-and-roll.

But double-teaming and switching defenses are absolutely not allowed. Double-teaming is basically sending points, and switching defenses, letting him face Odom directly, is basically sending points.

So in this case, there is only one option, to defend from behind the pick-and-roll player.

But in this case, you can bet on Di Brown's shooting.

Because Lu Yusheng noticed that when Simash Parker and Odom were defending, they only tried to defend once.

But that ball, Di Brown made it, and it was a super long three-pointer.

So they never tried this defense again.

But Lu Yusheng thought that he could actually try again. After all, he only made one shot, and even if he made it, it didn't mean that his shot was stable.

Everyone has good luck, not to mention professional players, Howard can also score ultra-long three-pointers.

Lu Yusheng decided to take a gamble.

Of course, he won't circle back like Simash Parker. His speed around the back is too slow, and it is impossible to interfere with DiBron's shooting, which is basically equivalent to releasing the shot.

Lu Yusheng must quickly bypass the pick-and-roll players to interfere with DiBron's shooting to the greatest extent.

Outside the three-point line, after Kirilenko's pick-and-roll, Lu Yusheng circled directly behind him!
Faced with this situation, Di Brown still shot a three-pointer without hesitation!

But when he shot the ball, he was suddenly surprised to find that Lu Yusheng had already rushed in front of him, jumping up to interfere!
Although Di Brown made the shot, he immediately shouted, "Rebound!"

And ran towards the backboard for the first time!
Sure enough, the ball hit the iron!

Lu Yusheng still interfered with Di Brown's shot.

Under the basket, the Jazz's inside line immediately got stuck, completely stuck the Lakers' players behind them, and jumped to grab a rebound!
Coupled with Kirilenko who had already rushed in, the Jazz had four players at the basket, firmly occupying the advantage!
But unexpectedly, a Zijin figure suddenly jumped out before them and took off the backboard! !
Kobe! !
"Oh, my God! Kobe came out of nowhere and got the rebound over the head of the Jazz insider!" McLean exclaimed.

"Kobe's rebound is certainly amazing, but I think Lu should be praised more. He really restricted Di Brown's pick-and-roll tactics just now, which will be the key to deciding this game." Robertson said.

"You're right," McLean said, "During the defense just now, Lu Yusheng's block completely interfered with Di Brown. It's very strange. Just now Smush Parker also defended like this, but why didn't he do it at all?" How about interfering with Di Brown?"

"This is a trick." Robertson laughed. "But this skill should only be mastered by some players who have studied the pick-and-roll tactic. Obviously, Lu has studied it."

"That's for sure. Lu's main tactic is pick-and-roll, so he must have studied it. What is the little trick you just mentioned?" McLean asked.

"The key to defending the pick-and-roll by going around behind the pick-and-roll player is that you can go around as quickly as possible and interfere with the opponent's point guard's shooting. But at this time, the opponent's pick-and-roll player will deliberately do some actions in order to delay you. So that you can't interfere with the shooting of other point guards in the first place. Such as a concealed pull or a slight movement."

"Yes, that's right, that's what Kirilenko did just now. He made a pulling motion on Smush Parker." McLean said.

"This kind of concealed pulling or movement, the referee generally will not call a foul, so in this case, how do you get rid of the interference of the pick-and-roll player as soon as possible?
This requires the use of this little secret, that is, you also need to use covert movements to push the pick-and-roll player. Don’t underestimate this one. It can also give yourself an acceleration, allowing you to quickly rush to the front of the shooter. said Robertson.

"I see. I didn't expect such a small technology to contain so many details."

"I went to see it just now. Lu did indeed do this, so he was able to interfere with DiBron's shooting in the first place."

"It's really unexpected that he, a rookie, can master such details." McLean said.

"This kid really has something. It seems that someone should have taught him this trick, because this trick is only known to old fritters who have been playing for a long time. I guess Kobe taught him [-]%." Robertson smiled. Said, "It seems that this game should have a conclusion."

"You mean ... the Lakers are going to win their six-game winning streak?" McLean said.

On the court, after Kobe grabbed the defensive rebound, instead of handing the ball to Lu Yusheng, he dribbled the ball directly across the half court.

After halftime, Kobe reached the three-point line, didn't pass the ball to anyone, and just opened his hands to shoot!

Three point shot!
scored!

This is also Kobe's habitual offense, and old Lakers fans know it.

This unreasonable three-pointer instantly chased the score to only one point!
Moreover, Lu Yusheng's ball just now, coupled with Kobe's unexpected three-pointer, instantly knocked out half of the Jazz's morale.

When Di Brown dribbled the ball across the half court again, the expression on his face was obviously not as excited as before.

Moreover, when he saw Lu Yusheng, there was obviously some fear in his eyes.

He never thought that Lu Yusheng would come back so quickly and seriously interfere with his shooting.

The yellow-skinned kid in front of him was obviously not as easy to deal with as Simash Parker just now.

Therefore, this time Di Brown decided not to play as simple as last time.

When Kirilenko came forward to give him a pick-and-roll, he waved his hand and refused.

Di Brown waved at the big center Mehmet Okur on the inside, signaling him to come out and pick and roll for himself.

Lu Yusheng saw through Di Brown's intentions.

The reason why he rejected Kirilenko and replaced Mehmet Okur with the pick-and-roll for him was because Kirilenko's pick-and-roll just now basically did not restrict himself, allowing himself to get out quickly.

And Mehmet Okur, as a heavy European center, has solid pick-and-roll skills, and his thick body, like a door panel, can completely block Lu Yusheng behind him. Such a big cylinder, Lu Yusheng from behind It takes a little effort to get around.

In this way, Di Brown has excellent shooting space.

DiBron really intends to do so, and Mehmet Okur's pick-and-roll is indeed extremely solid.

But what Di Brown didn't expect was that after Mehmet Okur finished the pick-and-roll for him, when he was about to shoot, Lu Yusheng appeared in front of him again!

This guy……

Di Brown was surprised. He didn't know how Lu Yusheng did it. It took almost no time to get out from behind a center forward like Mehmet Okur!
Coach Sloan on the sidelines also had an incredible expression on his face when he saw this scene.

Assistant coach Barnes was also surprised, "Coach Sloan, this kid...how did he do this? Could it be that he learned from that guy?"

"I don't think it's possible." Coach Sloan shook his head and said, "The guy you mentioned went to Africa last year and never came back. I think maybe Phil Jackson taught him."

When Coach Sloan said this, he glanced at Zen Master on the other side of the field, and muttered to himself, "This guy, every time he beats us, he doesn't let go of such details. He always wants to win me..."

In fact, Lu Yusheng's method is exactly what Big O said just now. In the past moment, he secretly pushed the pick-and-roll player to give himself an acceleration. He forms too many distractions.

Of course, this trick was not taught to him by Kobe, as Big O guessed, it was entirely Lu Yusheng's impromptu thought just now.

But this trick is not a panacea. You have to grasp the scale of the hidden force of the push. If the force is too small, you can't get the acceleration, and you can't even get rid of the pick-and-roller in the first place. If you use too much force, the referee will be useless Yes, it's easy to call foul on you.

When Di Brown saw that Mehmet Okur did not restrain Lu Yusheng, this time, instead of forcing a shot, he started dribbling, intending to break through Lu Yusheng.

Di Brown's breakthrough is different from that of Deron. He is the kind of player with full speed and explosive power.

He felt that he could directly break through Lu Yusheng with his speed. After all, the opponent was just a Chinese player.

For the Chinese defenders he faced when he played before, it is no problem to use speed to break through them.

Their lateral movement speed is very slow, not most players, but all yellow-skinned players, the speed is relatively slow.

Therefore, after Di Brown made two fake moves, although Lu Yusheng did not lose his position, Di Brown accelerated directly to the right, intending to break through Lu Yusheng in one step!
But he obviously underestimated Lu Yusheng too much. If he had watched the last game between the Lakers and the Heat, he would not have done so.

After all, in the last game, at the critical moment, he even defended against Wade.

Although Di Brown's explosive power and speed are indeed very strong, Lu Yusheng still predicted the direction of his breakthrough, and soon appeared on the route of his breakthrough.

Obviously, Di Brown didn't expect that he was in a mess for a while, so he could only dribble the ball back in a hurry.

beep~~~
The referee whistles!

Out of bounds!
It turned out that Di Brown stepped back in a panic, not noticing that his heel was on the sideline.

The Lakers have the ball!

The Jazz immediately called a timeout.

"It seems that what you said is correct. Lu did completely restrict DiBron. If the last ball was a fluke, but just now, Lu showed us his strength. He not only prevented the Jazz's pick-and-roll, but also forced DeBron could only play singles with the ball, and he defended the breakthrough wonderfully," McLean said.

"I don't know if you have noticed the details of Lu's defense just now." Robertson said.

"Of course I noticed. After listening to your explanation just now, I paid special attention to the details of his defense around the back just now. As you said, Lu did indeed push Mehmet Okur. However, this action is indeed very hidden, and it is difficult for the referee to catch it. It seems that Kobe taught him. After being defended by Lu Yusheng twice in a row, Coach Sloan immediately requested a timeout. Make adjustments."

"The game is over for McLean." Robertson said firmly, "It's impossible to adjust it. The Jazz's tactics have been killed. If Deron was there, he would have a way to deal with it, but DiBron, although He played really well in this period, but this is his limit, after all, he is only a second-round pick."

"Then you say, will Coach Sloan let Deron play again?"

"I think...it's probably very uncertain. After all, the game is up to this point." Robertson said, "Of course, even if Deron doesn't play, I still have expectations for Coach Sloan. I really want to know , in this desperate situation, can he still come up with good tactics?"

……

On the Jazz's bench, DiBrown was a little discouraged, "Coach, that kid... is really difficult to deal with. He's going around the back too fast. I can't shoot. I'm sorry..."

"No, Brown, you don't have to apologize to me, you've played very well, great. You are the point guard I need." Coach Sloan said.

Delong on the side drank his drink indifferently, as if he didn't hear it.

"Brown, boy, don't be discouraged. You have exceeded everyone's expectations tonight. Remember, if you continue to perform like this, you will get more opportunities to play."

These words are obviously also beating Deron.

"Now, Brown, try that play that we talked about last night. You guys listen," Coach Sloan said to the rest of the players, "do you remember the last play we played last night? Kirilenko, May Mitt Okur, this tactic, you two are very important. And Brown, you are the executor of this tactic, you must..."

As Deron listened, he couldn't help feeling even more angry, because this tactic was arranged for him last night, but he didn't expect Di Brown to implement it now.

With a whistle, the game continues!

The Lakers had the ball, Lu Yusheng dribbled the ball halfway, and still played a pick-and-roll with Kobe.

After the pick-and-roll, Lu Yusheng faced the double-team and easily passed the ball to Kobe who was unguarded, helping Kobe to score easily in the mid-range shot.

The Lakers scored a go-ahead!

The fans at the Staples Center can see that the momentum on the court is now completely on the Lakers' side!
Seeing that their six-game winning streak is about to usher in, can you not be happy?

For a while, there were cheers of celebration on the court.

Jazz ball possession.

After Di Brown dribbled the ball for halftime, Lu Yusheng stepped forward to defend.

With a look from Di Brown, a scene that Lu Yusheng and the Lakers did not expect appeared!
The two inside players of the Jazz, Mehmet Okur and Boozer, two big men, appeared on Lu Yusheng's left and right sides at the same time!
"Oh, it's a two-man pick and roll!!" McLean exclaimed, "It seems that this is Coach Sloan's response!"
