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

Chapter 15 [A Difficult Opponent] Ask for Favorites and Recommendations

Team training.

After the game against the Spurs, Lu Yusheng felt that the spirit of the entire Lakers team was different.

Of course, the biggest change is that his teammates trust him more.

They all prefer to play under Lu Yusheng's command and follow Lu Yusheng's tactical arrangements.

This is the tactical status you bring to lead the team to win.

Of course, even so, Lu Yusheng was not complacent.

Because in the next game, they will face the Celtics.

This is a formidable opponent.

The Celtics also won their first Summer League game, but unlike the way the Lakers won the Spurs, the Celtics outscored their rival Suns by nearly forty points!

This is simply a massacre!

In the second half of the training, coach Brian Shaw specially played the Celtics game video to the Lakers players.

Through this video, Lu Yusheng knew that the perpetrator of this tragedy was none other than their new draft point guard this year, Rajon Rondo.

Rajon Rondo was selected by the Suns with the No.20 first pick, but was then traded to the Celtics.

I don't know if it was out of revenge for the Suns abandoning him. In this game, Rondo played quite bloody and full of gunpowder, and even almost had conflicts several times.

Lu Yusheng had never met Rondo in person, but through the camera, from his fierce eyes, Lu Yusheng felt that this guy was difficult to deal with.

"This is our opponent in the next game, I hope it didn't scare you."

Coach Brian Shaw turned off the video and said, "Through the video, have you seen their weaknesses... Or, when we deal with them, the key to victory, come on, talk about it."

For a while, everyone was silent. As far as this game is concerned, in their opinion, this Celtic team is almost impeccable.

The offense, under the organization of Rondo, is almost omnipotent. The teammates in each position only need to be prepared to eat at any time. As long as they run out of the open space, the ball will come in response.

The defense is the same. This Rondo, almost with a desperate attitude, participates in every defense. With his terrifying wingspan and strength, he has completed one-on-one steals many times.

With such a leader, other teammates almost defend the game with the same attitude.

Such a team with impeccable offense and defense, for a while, the Lakers players couldn't see any flaws at all.

"That's over, it seems that you are all frightened by them."

Coach Brian Shaw looked at Lu Yusheng, "Lu Yusheng, are you scared by Rondo too? Don't forget, you are our point guard, and you have to face him directly."

Lu Yusheng said, "Coach, I'm not that timid, but to be honest, the Celtics team is indeed a strong team, and this Rondo, with his mature performance, doesn't look like a rookie at all. But , this does not mean that they have no weaknesses at all."

"Oh, tell me, what are their weaknesses?" Brian Shaw asked with great interest.

"I don't know if you have noticed that during the whole game, their core, Rondo, did not attack much." Lu Yusheng said.

"He's a point guard, he's more about creating opportunities for his teammates, there's nothing wrong with that."

"No, I mean, you pay attention, the whole game, he didn't make a long shot, he had two chances, outside the three-point line, the gap was completely out, but he didn't make a shot, I think maybe He wants to create better opportunities for his teammates, but there is another possibility, that is, he does not have the ability to shoot from a long distance." Lu Yusheng said.

Brian Shaw nodded in satisfaction, "It's good to see this. However, these alone are not enough to help you win the Celtics."

It was supposed to be a high-spirited training, but after watching the Celtics game video, everyone was a little silent at the end. After all, they will face this difficult opponent tomorrow.
