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

Chapter 182

The Spurs serve from the baseline.

Tony Parker dribbles across half court.

The enthusiasm of the fans at Staples Center reached the highest point of the game!

Everyone stood up and cheered for the Lakers.

If the previous seven-game winning streak won by the Lakers is not convincing, then winning the touchstone of a strong team recognized by the league like the Spurs in this game and achieving eight consecutive victories is the best proof!

Fans of other teams will never say that the team the Lakers faced before is not strong enough.

If the winning streak at the beginning of the season just made everyone feel refreshed about the Lakers this season, then winning the powerful Spurs will definitely boost the confidence of all Lakers fans.

This is the Spurs after all!

I can't count how many consecutive seasons they have entered the playoffs, and I can't remember how many consecutive seasons they have occupied the top of the league.

The most important thing is that in this game, their absolute core Kobe Bryant did not play, and the Spurs were all healthy.

In this case, being able to win the Spurs shows that the Lakers' combat effectiveness this season is completely different from last season.

Completely ranks among the top teams in the league!

Moreover, this season is very hopeful to win the championship!

For fans of historical giants like the Lakers, their home team can only fulfill their expectations if they win the championship.

Last season, Kobe showed a historical level of powerful attack power, but he had no reliable helpers around him.

They will never forget the pain of being reversed by the Phoenix Suns when they led 3:1 in the playoffs last season. They knew that Kobe had tried his best, and it was purely due to the gap in the overall strength of the players.

But now, they were pleasantly surprised to see the changes that the rookie Lu Yusheng had brought to the team.

The first is the richness of the tactical level, which can be seen by anyone.

But the most important thing is the change of team temperament,

The changes brought about by this kid are not only at the tactical level, but also at the team's temperament level.

This is what excites them the most.

In the first two seasons after O'Neal left, the Lakers could basically lose any kind of game. They lost the game with a big lead, lost the game with a tie, let alone when they fell behind, and basically had no possibility of winning.

As far as Lakers fans are concerned, they really have had enough.

But after Lu Yusheng's arrival, the Lakers seemed to have become a team full of resilience. No matter what kind of difficulties they encountered or what kind of powerful enemies they faced, they seemed to be able to stick to it, adjust silently, and finally change the situation and win. Contest.

This change is almost fatal, because this kind of temperament is the temperament of a strong team!
Especially in this scene against the mighty Spurs, they fell behind so much at the beginning, but after Lu Yusheng came on the court, he was able to change the situation immediately, play out the effect, and bite the score.

But this kid is just a rookie who has just played a few games!
A rookie has brought such a huge change to the Lakers and brought them the hope of a championship, how can they not be excited?
Therefore, the Lakers fans almost showed their greatest enthusiasm to cheer for this team!
Kobe stood there, listening to the deafening cheers of the fans, he was in a trance for a while, as if he had returned to the finals.

Because he only heard such crazy cheers from the Lakers fans in the finals.

Looking at Lu Yusheng on the field, he couldn't help but feel complicated. Could it be that this kid can really help him fulfill his dream as he said...

On the court, Lu Yusheng defended Tony Parker, but the Spurs still called Tim Duncan to pick and roll for Tony Parker.

This time, the Lakers still adopted the strategy of switching defenses.

After Lu Yusheng and Bynum switched defenses, Lu Yusheng found that this time, Tim Duncan had a very strong desire to get inside. Although he tried his best to push back, but unlike last time, Duncan basically didn't give him any chance to stop him. , Directly forcibly enter the inside line.

Lu Yusheng understood that this time, Tim Duncan was going to fight himself.

After all, the Spurs also know very well that at this time, it is safer to play inside.

Although Tony Parker scored the last goal, it was already very reluctant. Now that the Spurs are behind, if they fail to score this goal, they will lose the game, so they will definitely not use this method of attack again.

There was no good way for Lu Yusheng to stop this shot, because he tried too hard to prevent Duncan from entering the inside lane, which might cause a foul.

And the Lakers are full of fouls.

Another foul will directly send the opponent to score.

In desperation, he immediately winked at Odom, telling him to quickly come over and switch defenses with him.

Odom hurriedly dropped his defender and ran over to defend Duncan, while Lu Yusheng hurriedly planned to make up for Odom's defender Fabricio Oberto.

But there is a time difference in this defense change. There is no one defending at Fabrizio Oberto during this defense change.

The experienced Tony Parker naturally found this vacancy, but he obviously hesitated.

After all, when serving, he discussed with Tim Duncan. When the Lakers pick and roll and switch defenses, this ball is going to be handed over to Duncan.

But now Fabrizio Oberto does have another good opportunity.

After only half a second of hesitation in his mind, Tony Parker still chose to pass the ball to Fabrizio Oberto.

First, Fabrizio Oberto is completely open at the moment, and his mid-range shot is still accurate. Second, even if Lu Yusheng makes up for it, Fabrizio Oberto can play at the fourth position. Lu Yu gave birth to a No. [-] position, which was completely misplaced.

It is reasonable no matter what.

But Fabricio Oberto never expected that Lu Yusheng's defense was extremely fast this time. As soon as Fabricio Oberto received a pass from Tony Parker, Lu Yusheng rushed to him on horseback. Fabrizio Oberto was not given a chance to make a mid-range shot!

But there is not much time left in the attack. When other teammates have no chance, Fabrizio Oberto can only play by himself. Moreover, he is defending him in the opposite No. [-] position. In this position, it is simply took advantage.

beat!
Fabricio Oberto dribbled the ball one step, and immediately turned into a back body, hitting Lu Yusheng on top of him and crushing it inside!
Faced with Fabricio Oberto's European white bear body, Lu Yusheng actually couldn't stand it.

But at this moment, he knew that his crucial defense this time almost determined the victory of this game!
The belief in winning filled his whole body with energy, burst out with unimaginable strength, and desperately resisted Fabrizio Oberto!
Fabricio Oberto himself was shocked!

He didn't expect that Lu Yusheng behind him could give him such a huge strength that he even dribbled the ball several times without hitting it!
Doesn't it mean that people of the yellow race have no strength?

Is this number one? ?
But time was running out, he had no choice but to turn around and make a hook shot!

Lu Yusheng tried his best to block it!

But Fabrizio Oberto's body was too thick, and one hand basically completely isolated Lu Yusheng from the other side!
Lu Yusheng could only try his best to take off and influence Fabrizio Oberto!
But the ball was still thrown!
For a while, the Staples Center was quiet, and the air seemed to freeze.

Everyone's heartbeat stopped, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the ball in the air!
This ball...

short!

Knocked on the front and flew out directly!

Lu Yusheng still affected Fabricio Oberto's shooting!

The Staples Center is boiling instantly!

This game is won! ! !

Lu Yusheng looked up and found that there was still time to attack!

And at this time, the rebound happened to crash on top of Luke Walton and Bruce Bowen!

Two people jumped at the same time, trying to get the rebound!

Luke Walton hit the ball first!
But he didn't completely control the ball. Bruce Bowen jumped up and threw the ball out of bounds!

If the ball goes out of bounds, the game is basically over!
But what everyone never expected was that a black figure came to the boundary line first in an instant and grabbed the rebound!

Lu Yusheng was shocked, it was Ginobili! !

Lu Yusheng rushed towards Ginobili in a hurry!

Extreme take-off block!

After Ginobili got the ball, the time was basically running out, and he had no choice but to shoot from outside the three-point line against Lu Yusheng's block!

At the same time, the whistle for the end of the game sounded!
This ball draws a strange super high arc in the air...

Lu Yusheng felt that there should be none. After all, he blocked the shot very well just now, forcing Ginobili to forcefully adjust his shooting movement and release height.

Ginobili's shooting action and hand shape have been completely deformed. He just tried his best to find a way to throw the ball in the direction of the basket.

This ball...

Hit the board!

entered...

There was a burst of regret from the entire Staples Center...

Lu Yusheng fell to the ground, a burst of despair welling up in his heart...

The Spurs players have embraced wildly to celebrate the victory.

"Wow!! Ginobili actually scored this goal! I feel that Lu Yusheng's defense is almost perfect, but I didn't expect that this goal was still scored!" Connor shouted excitedly .

"That's why he is called the Demon Sword by others. People say that it is not for nothing to see the Demon Sword in a desperate situation. He does have this ability. But I have to say, I think there is indeed an element of luck in this ball. You know, shooting from the front and hitting the board, except for Tim Duncan, everyone else should be dribbling. But there is no way, a player like Ginobili, he can make this kind of dribbling talent," said David Robinson.

"Oh, we saw that the Zen master Phil Jackson seemed to think that when the ball was shot, the time should have ended. We saw that the referee walked to the technical stage and started watching the video." Connor said.

"Well, it's really hard to say. Anyway, I feel that it was almost an instant. It is indeed possible that the game time has ended. Even if it is advanced, it is basically at the limit." David Robinson also said.

At this moment, the replay of the referee's technical slow-motion analysis also appeared on the big screen above the head.

Like David Robinson said, the ball...is really limited.

"Well, I think it should be counted. Ginobili's ball is very smart. Basically, he threw it directly without any lifting. Looking at the slow motion, it is basically just the shot, and the game is over." David Robinson said .

The referee watched it repeatedly before concluding that the goal was valid!

In the end, the Spurs narrowly beat the Lakers by one point, 101:100!
The Spurs players celebrated once again!

They even hugged Ginobili and kept throwing him high into the air.

Lu Yusheng sat on the ground slumped, watching all this with mixed emotions.

Although he lost a regular season and did not complete the feat of eight consecutive victories, losing to a strong team like the Spurs is also justified.

This, after all, was the first game he lost since he entered the NBA.

What's more, he still lost at this level, he really couldn't accept it...

For a while, sweat continued to flow down, blurring his eye sockets.

He kept reaching out to wipe it off, and couldn't tell whether it was sweat or tears...

Seeing this, Vujacic and Luke Wharton hurried over to help him, trying to pull him up.

"Let me sit for a while, I'm a little tired..." Lu Yusheng said.

Other teammates also gathered around.

"I'm sorry everyone, I didn't defend the ball..." Lu Yusheng said apologetically, "It made everyone's efforts all night in vain."

"Hey, don't be like this." Luke Walton said to Lu Yusheng, "We have played well, and you have defended this ball well, so there is no need for you to blame yourself."

"Yeah, without you, we would not be able to play with the Spurs to the present." Vujacic also said.

"Yeah, Lu, we've played well."

"..."

Other teammates also said one after another.

"Oh, it seems that Lu Yusheng is very sorry to lose this game. He hasn't got up from the ground yet." Connor said.

"It's the hardest thing to lose a game that lasts until the end, especially when the opponent kills you in this way. Connor, let me tell you, you will definitely feel like you've screwed up here." David Robinson said, " But I don’t think Lu Yusheng should be too regretful, and I believe the fans will never blame him, after all, leading such a Lakers team to compete with the Spurs is already terrifying.”

At this time, suddenly a hand was stretched out from the crowd, "Hey, I can't afford to lose like this."

Lu Yusheng was taken aback for a moment, seeing Kobe walking in from among his teammates and extending his hand to him.

"You guys have played well, don't afford to lose." Kobe said seriously.

Lu Yusheng held Kobe's hand and was pulled up.

Kobe patted Lu Yusheng's head and gave him a hug.

When the fans saw this scene, there was a burst of thunderous applause and cheers instantly!
"MVP!"

"MVP!"

The fans at the Staples Center once again burst into MVP cheers!

This is the fans' encouragement and recognition for him.

Although they lost this match, Lu Yusheng's desperation and unwillingness to admit defeat had already captured their hearts!

They couldn't bear to see their hero cry, so they warmed his heart with shouts of mvp!
Lu Yusheng raised his head, looked at the enthusiastic fans all over the sky, choked up again, tears blurred his eyes...
