Chapter 100 [Zen Master’s Instructions]

Lu Yusheng thought that the winning goal in the last game could break his inner demon of shooting.

But now it seems that it doesn't.

When faced with shooting opportunities, he still feels faintly panicked.

The SuperSonics' defense against him was extremely determined, which was to let shots go but not bursts.

The more determined they are, the greater the pressure on Lu Yusheng.

In the following time, the Sonics players, no matter who switched defenses to face Lu Yusheng, almost always followed this strategy.

In his hesitation, Lu Yusheng wasted two more good offensive opportunities.

Kobe was worried, "WTF! What are you hesitating about? When the opportunity comes, you must throw the ball, do you understand?"

Fortunately, in these rounds, the Lakers did not give the Sonics a chance on the defensive end.

But Lu Yusheng was still a little panicked at the moment. He even felt a little afraid that when he attacked, the opportunity would appear for him and let him shoot.

Gradually, the Zen masters off the court also discovered that Lu Yusheng's concentration on the game had dropped significantly.

Mistakes not only occurred on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end.

In this case, the Zen master had to replace him during the timeout.

Commentator Stan Doyle said, "It seems that Lu's rookie magic is over. We thought that Lu coming on in the second half would save the team like he did in the first half, but we didn't expect that not long after he came on, he was in poor condition.

Was replaced."

"His magic was not over, but was exposed by coach Bob Hill."

Mark Jackson said, "We can all see that Lu is struggling to shoot. I don't know if he has always been like this or just struggled in this game, but it has a great impact on him and the entire Lakers team.

You know, he is just the brains of the Lakers team. Once he starts to hesitate, the entire Lakers team's offense and defense will have problems."

Standall said, "His shooting problem didn't just start in this game. In fact, I also watched the last game they played against the Golden State Warriors. In the last game, Lu actually struggled with his shooting.

Even though he made that last buzzer-beating shot."

"Really? If that's the case, it's really not good news." Mark Jackson said, "Although point guards don't often shoot, there is a huge difference between a point guard and a basket.

It almost determines your breakthrough ability.

Just like the situation Lu is facing now, no matter how fast you are and how sharp your changes of direction are, you won't be able to survive even if they give you two big steps."

"In this case, Mark, what do you think Lu should do?"

"There is no good way." Mark Jackson said, "When the opponent releases your shot, throw the ball in and change their strategy so that they don't dare to release you. It's that simple. But this requires going on the court.

With hard work, shooting can be practiced."

"I still find it a bit strange, because almost all the yellow-skinned players who have appeared in the NBA have stable shooting. Think about it, even big players like Yao Ming have a stable mid-range shot. As a guard, Lu actually has a stable mid-range shot."

There were no shots, which is really puzzling."

"I just observed his shooting. There is nothing wrong with his technical movements, but he hesitates every time. So I guess it is partly a matter of his mentality. You must know that self-confidence also plays a role in the stability of shooting.

It plays a very crucial role.”

…

Lu Yusheng sat off the court and wiped his sweat, silently paying attention to the situation on the court.

He found that after he was replaced by Farmar, the Sonics immediately changed their defensive strategy and did not switch defenses when faced with Farmar and his teammates' off-ball pick-and-rolls.

This tactic was indeed only aimed at him.

He knows very well how to solve his problems, and that is to practice hard.

But the problem is that there is not much time for him to practice shooting now, because once the game starts, there will be games almost every two days, and he has to fly around and do pre-game training.

This problem can only be solved in the offseason after the season.

But he doesn't want to be targeted by the opponent because of his shooting in every game, so he can only sit on the bench and keep company with the water cooler.

"Lu, pay attention to Kobe's shooting movements."

Zen Master suddenly said to Lu Yusheng, "Have you discovered the characteristics of his shooting?"

Lu Yusheng was stunned. What are the characteristics of Kobe Bryant's shooting?

What characteristics?

It’s hard to summarize Kobe’s shooting characteristics.

Ask Comit, it's definitely accurate.

After all, Kobe faced various difficulties almost every time he shot. Even if there were no difficulties, he had to create difficulties, such as more than one dozen, backwards, various fake movements, etc. In this kind of shooting environment, he can still maintain that kind of performance.

The hit rate is of course quite accurate.

If you ask about Kehei, it is of course Tiehedu.

Lu Yusheng didn't know how to answer for a while.

Zen Master said, "His shooting has a characteristic that no one else has, that is - he hardly needs shooting space, do you know what I mean?"

Lu Yusheng shook his head.

"Look at this ball now."

On the court, as soon as Kobe received Walton's pass inside the three-point line, Ray Allen quickly followed up.

At the same time, other Sonics players on both sides have been eager to get closer to Kobe, ready to double-team at any time.

Zen Master analyzed Lu Yusheng, "The reason why Ray Allen dares to stay so close shows that he is not afraid of being passed by Kobe. The SuperSonics defensive players will quickly cover up the defense as soon as possible. So in this case, you want to

It's very difficult to get space to shoot."

Lu Yusheng nodded, yes, when the opponent is not afraid of your breakthrough, but only afraid of your shooting, he will stick to you, making it difficult for you to shoot.

Huh? Isn’t this just the opposite of me?

However, Kobe Bryant on the court faced Ray Allen's personal defense. After making a simple triple threat, he shot directly against Ray Allen's defense...

Lewis and Mohammed on both sides also jumped up to block shots to interfere with Kobe!

Whoosh!

A hollow shot that doesn't touch the basket!

"Can you see the difference between your shooting and Kobe's?" Zen Master asked.

"Well, I can see it. He is much more accurate than me. Three people can block shots and shoot so accurately."

The Zen master rolled his eyes at him through his glasses, "This is the result, what I want you to see is the process."

"Then what's the difference between us? Can you tell me directly?"

"It seems that I overestimated your basketball intelligence." The Zen master was a little helpless.

"That's not true. You just overestimated my guessing skills. Fei'er, I like you to tell me the answer directly." Lu Yusheng said.

The Zen master frowned, "There are some things on the basketball court that need to be understood with the heart. Let me tell you bluntly, the effect is completely different from what you understand by yourself. Do you understand?" the Zen master said.

"I understand," Lu Yusheng said, "Then what is the difference between him and me?"

Zen Master:......

"Well, what I want to tell you is that the reason why Kobe can shoot in this situation, and the technical movements of the shooting are basically not deformed because of this, is that he knows very well that Ray Allen and the other two assisting defenders

It's impossible for a defensive player to block him."

"And the difference between you and him is exactly this. Think about it carefully." The Zen Master said.

Lu Yusheng was taken aback for a moment, and he listened carefully to the Zen master's words.
