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

Chapter 181

After Lu Yusheng stole Duncan, he passed a long pass to Vujacic, who was already about to play, and went straight to the basket!
98: 96!

The Lakers lead the score!

"Although the goal was scored, I still feel that Lu Yusheng's steal is a bit too risky. You know, Tony Parker just scored three shots in a row, and they were basically mid- and long-range shots. Once Duncan If the ball is passed, Tony Parker may be a three-pointer directly. This is too risky, do you think it is David?" Connor said.

After Connor asked this question, he didn't hear David Robinson's response. He looked up and found that David Robinson was sitting there blankly, staring at the big screen above the arena on the field. The ball just now is being replayed from all angles.

After a while, David Robinson said, "How do I feel... this may be planned by Lu."

"Planned?" Connor asked unexpectedly, "Is... possible?"

"It's very possible." David Robinson said, "First of all, you see, throughout the whole game, Vujacic has never had the awareness of fast break. This time he was already standing near the center line very early. It's as if he already knew that the Lakers would steal the ball and have a fast break opportunity."

After David Robinson finished speaking, Connor looked at the replay carefully, and couldn't help but nodded,

"You're right, it seems to be the case."

"In addition to Vujacic's abnormality, in fact, I also noticed a little abnormality." David Robinson said.

"What is it?"

"Bynum," David Robinson said.

"Him? What's wrong with him?"

"You pay attention to the action when he defended Duncan just now," David Robinson said.

Connor took a closer look, with a puzzled expression on his face, "Is there... anything unusual? I really didn't see it."

"Pay attention to his defensive position." David Robinson said, "Under normal circumstances, when the opponent's center forward receives the ball to this position, what you have to do must be to stand frontally, raise your hands, take off or stretch out. Arm, this kind of defense is the most correct,
But look at Bynum’s position just now. He is obviously standing on the right side. You have never played a professional center, so you may not feel it, but I felt something wrong immediately. You know, don’t say this kind of position If you block the shot, even if you want to draw an offensive foul from the opponent, it is impossible.

Although Bynum has not played for a long time, I know that his basic skills are still very good, so there must be a reason for him to be able to stand like this. "David Robinson said with certainty.

"You mean...he already knew that Lu Yusheng would come in and steal Tim Duncan?" Connor asked.

"Yes, otherwise, I really can't figure out why he would stand in such a position." David Robinson said, "So I guess, this must be an arrangement made by Lu Yusheng in advance."

"Although your analysis is indeed supported by sufficient evidence, if you say that all of this was arranged by Lu Yusheng in advance, I still find it a bit inconceivable." Connor said, "How can he be sure? What about stealing Duncan? What if Duncan passes out?"

"I know this is really unbelievable, so I wouldn't be so surprised just now, but now it seems that there is probably only one explanation, otherwise, I really can't understand what Bynum and Vujacic did just now." David Robinson said, "If all of this is really arranged by Lu Yusheng, then...it's really scary. At this moment in the game, at such a critical moment, at the decisive moment, he can still have such a clear mind and arrange such meticulous arrangements. tactics, it's...it's really not like a rookie."

Connor nodded, "It's okay, this ball, we can go to him after the game to verify it. If it is really a tactic designed by him, then his future is really limitless."

On the field, after Vujacic scored the goal, Popovich once again requested a timeout.

It was the last timeout for the Spurs.

"Bruce," Popovich said to Bowen, "you'd better deal with that rookie."

Bowen nodded, but still said, "I'm worried that he will still use pick-and-rolls to get rid of my defense like before."

"No matter what method you use, you have to guard against him!" Popovich suddenly snapped.

Bowen was taken aback.

Popovich turned his head and said to Tony Parker, "Tony, if he really uses the pick-and-roll to find you, then double-team him with Bowen. In short, no matter what method you use, you must find a way to let him restrict him. Otherwise, let the game go."

Seeing Popovich angry, Tony Parker naturally understood.

Everyone thought it would be an easy win when they heard that Kobe was not going to make it, but who knew that Popovich would be very annoyed at being led by the nose by a rookie.

"Also, I have to say one thing, the bullshit you played today is not. I can't see your integrity at all. You are so messed up by a rookie on the opposite side that you can't even hit the ball!"

Popovich was furious and threw the tactical board on the ground!

This scene happened to be captured live on the screen.

"Mr. Popovich was so angry that he threw away the tactical board," Connor said.

"I can understand him," David Robinson said. "Before the game, all the media and fans were optimistic about the Spurs. Everyone agreed that the Spurs would win the game easily. I think the Spurs are afraid. I must have thought so, but who would have thought that this game would be played like this. They were completely disrupted by a rookie on the opposite side. Didn't you notice that the Spurs didn't play their usual rhythm tonight? and tactics."

"Indeed, the integrity of the Spurs did not play out tonight, which is probably why Popovich got angry." Connor said.

"It must be like this," David Robinson said, "You probably don't understand that Popovich, in fact, he seldom cares about your personal performance. For example, you played badly tonight and you have no touch , the general coach will probably scold you, but Popovich will not. I have been with him for so long, and I have never seen him lose his temper because of someone who feels bad. He has always lost his temper. Because of tactical problems, because the team's tactics have not been played out."

"I don't think they can be blamed for this. In fact, at certain times tonight, the overall operation of the Spurs was still very good. Their tactical strength was still achieved. It's just that when Lu Yusheng came on the court, he almost The perfect performance disrupted the Spurs' tactics, made them mess up, and had to constantly adjust their tactics." Connor said.

"Yes, you are right, but I think this is why Popovich is angry. If you think about it, after I left, the personnel of this Spurs basically changed. That is to say, he It has been a long time to cultivate this Spurs team, but today they were beaten by a rookie on the opposite side. This is unbearable for anyone, not just Popovich. You can see that Tony tonight The same is true for Parker and Tim Duncan, with serious expressions. Tony Parker is always kind, but he also spat out trash talk tonight. Although Tim Duncan didn't say anything, you can tell from his performance that he is holding back All at once," David Robinson said.

"Well, that's true. I haven't seen Duncan have so many singles in an unusual game for a long time."

"Not only Duncan, Tony Parker has been playing singles tonight." David Robinson said, "This is all caused by that kid Lu Yusheng. This is really incredible."

On the field.

Pause ends, game continues!
There is only 1 minute left in the game.

Back to the game, the Spurs have the ball.

Tony Parker dribbled the ball halfway, and Duncan came out directly to pick and roll for him.

This time, Lu Yusheng did not adopt a defensive strategy around the back. At this juncture, it is not a wise choice to let Tony Parker shoot. At this time, every point is extremely precious, and it is possible to decide the victory. minus.

Therefore, this time, Lu Yushenghe chose to switch defenses.

Although this will give the opponent a chance to fight big or small, there is no way. At this time, there is only one strategy, and that is absolutely not to give the opponent a chance to score easily.

The reason why Lu Yusheng circled behind the pick-and-roll man before and allowed Tony Parker to shoot was purely to disrupt the integrity of the Spurs, so that Tony Parker could not connect with Tim Duncan, nor could he drive other teammates.

But it's different now, absolutely not giving the opponent a chance to shoot easily.

Even if the opponent has a dislocation advantage after switching defenses, at least someone is defending. At this time, everyone's physical strength is almost exhausted. Even if they face a dislocation advantage, they may not be able to score 100%.

After switching defenses, Lu Yusheng withstood Duncan, while Tony Parker faced Bynum with the ball.

Lu Yusheng reckoned that Parker would definitely fight by himself. After all, Tim Duncan was still being blocked by him from outside the three-point line at this moment.

Duncan desperately wanted to go in, but Lu Yu resisted him desperately.

beep~~
With a whistle, the referee blew Lu Yusheng's defensive foul.

Lu Yusheng felt bad!
This is going to be a free throw!

Fortunately, in this section of the game, the number of fouls by the Lakers has not yet reached the direct free throw.

The Spurs serve!
This can be regarded as a waste of the Spurs' offensive time and destroyed their mismatch advantage.

The Spurs can only reorganize the offense.

The Spurs served from the sideline, and after Duncan passed to Tony Parker, he immediately stepped forward to pick and roll for him again.

The Lakers still use the same strategy of switching defenses just now, and after switching defenses, they are still misplaced.

Lu Yusheng still desperately wanted to keep Tim Duncan out. Although there was a gap in strength after all, he couldn't stand it, but this delayed his time to enter the inside line, forcing Tony Parker to beat Bynum himself. .

For Lu Yusheng, this is the best result. After all, Tony Parker beat Bynum, because there are many insiders, he is likely to use a jumper to finish.

At this time, everyone is exhausted, and the closer to the basket, the more confident the offense will be.

Therefore, it is definitely better to let Parker play than to let Duncan play Lu Yusheng inside.

Tony Parker dribbled the ball against Bynum. Bynum didn't play much in this game. He was replaced at the end of the second half, so he was full of energy. Although Tony Parker was fast, he was a little tired after all. Bynum broke through twice in a row, but was blocked by Bynum.

Seeing that the offensive time is about to end, there is no way, Tony Parker can only use an emergency stop jumper to end it!
Bynum basically did not lose his position, jumping up to block the shot! !

Lu Yusheng was overjoyed. Everything was almost under his control. Tony Parker could only end up in this way, and he was still facing the block of Bynum, who was tall and long. The ball was probably gone!

"Rebound!" Lu Yusheng yelled, and then he desperately blocked Tim Duncan, trying to prevent him from rushing in to grab a rebound!

Sure enough, the ball was short and burst into the frame!

Duncan was anxious, but he didn't expect to be firmly stuck behind the rookie kid on the opposite side. In desperation, he feinted, threw off Lu Yusheng's defense, and rushed towards the basket!

But no one expected that after the ball bounced a few times on the basket, it finally crawled in.

There was a burst of regret at the Staples Center!

98: 98!

The two sides drew again!

Lu Yusheng was also a little regretful, everything was under his control, but sometimes, success still required some luck.

The teammates were also a little bit sorry, Lu Yusheng dribbled the ball and shouted, "It's okay, brothers, we scored this goal, we must win this game!"

Lu Yusheng dribbled the ball for halftime and looked up at the timer. There were 36 seconds left in the game.

For this ball, he decided to delay the time until the end, not leaving the Spurs with complete attack time.

Facing Bruce Bowen's defense, Lu Yusheng began to dribble the ball to delay the time. He waited until there were 12 seconds left in the offensive clock before he began to wave for Vujacic to come over and pick and roll for himself.

But this time, Lu Yusheng did not expect that the Spurs did not adopt the previous strategy of going around behind the pick-and-roll man, but Bowen and Tony Parker stepped forward to double-team him in an instant!

Seeing this scene, the Zen master in the field couldn't help standing up, "I won!"

He knew that the Spurs' strategy was absolutely wrong. Lu Yusheng's ability to throw the ball against double-teams was top-notch!
Facing the sudden double-teaming, Lu Yusheng didn't panic at all, quickly dribbled the ball one step back, and then accurately passed it to Vujacic with one shot from an extremely tricky angle!

The Spurs immediately came out to make up the defense. After attracting the defense, Vujacic passed directly to the unguarded Luke Walton.

There is Tim Duncan inside, so Luke Wharton didn't go inside and made a direct shot!

Accompanied by the whistle of the attack time running out, the ball was scored steadily!

100: 98!

The Lakers once again overtook the score!

The fans at the Staples Center have already fallen into a boil!
At this moment, there are only 12 seconds left in the game.

The Spurs have no timeout and no way to arrange tactics. As long as the Lakers defend this goal, they will usher in their eighth consecutive victory! !
Not only the home fans at the Staples Center stood up to watch the game.

Even Kobe and the other bench players off the court stood up to watch the game! ! ! !
