Chapter 124 [New skills!]

However, this time, Lu Yusheng's gamble-like defense failed...

Wade didn't go to the right at all, but to the left.

Lu Yusheng made a mistake in predicting the steal, causing him to completely lose his position and be thrown away a lot.

After Wade broke through, facing Bynum's defense, he directly threw the ball high into the air!

Under the basket, O'Neal jumped high and hit an alley-oop that exploded into the basket!!

The referee's whistle blows.

The Lakers requested a timeout.

"Nice pass!" O'Neal pointed at Wade and said.

At the same time, he gave Lu Yusheng a very disdainful thumbs up, "Baby, come on, keep being so defensive! Tomorrow I can apply to Pat Riley to let you join the Heat."

Wade was worried that the two of them would conflict again, so he quickly pulled O'Neal to the Heat bench.

"Wade once again easily broke through the Lakers' defense and completed a beautiful alley-oop with O'Neal! This forced the Lakers to request a timeout," William Jones said.

"But the problem is that with this timeout, the Lakers may not be able to solve the fundamental problem." Bird said.

Bird was even a little worried for the Lakers, "Wade cannot be limited at this point, and it will be the same after he comes back. It is even possible that this game will end like this."

"Is there nothing we can do?" William Jones asked.

"Um... Based on what I've seen so far, I'm afraid Zen Master really doesn't have a good idea. Otherwise, let's take a gamble. When Wade picks and rolls, the Lakers don't switch defenses and let Kobe go around and let him limit Wade. Otherwise.

Besides, I really can’t think of any better way.”

During the timeout, Zen Master replaced Farmar and replaced Lu Yusheng.

But Farmar's effect after coming on the court was not much better than Lu Yusheng's, and he was also unable to restrain Wade, who was full of firepower.

The Zen master sitting next to Lu Yusheng said, "Lu, do you know why I replaced you?"

"I know, I can't restrict Wade."

"No, that's not all the reason," said Jackson. "You have to know that we can't limit Wade's breakthrough. This was originally in our pre-game plan."

Lu Yusheng looked at him with some surprise.

"The main reason why I replaced you is because after Payton came up just now, your performance was substandard." The Zen Master said.

Lu Yusheng wiped his sweat and said, "You are right, but his defensive skills are still there, which really leaves me with no good ideas..."

"No, I don't mean that you can't break through his defense."

"why?"

Zen Master looked back at him, "Gary Payton's defense is his advantage, but his disadvantages are equally obvious, especially his shooting, which is as unstable as yours. Moreover, he is still injured in his arm. With your basketball wisdom,

I thought you would take advantage of his disadvantage to reverse the decline on the field, but unexpectedly, you didn’t seem to do so..."

Lu Yusheng suddenly realized, yes, how could he forget this!

Payton's defense is strong, but his shooting is almost non-existent, which is why he never takes the initiative to attack after receiving the ball.

Lu Yusheng can indeed take advantage of Payton's lack of shooting. If his shooting is allowed, then when Wade picks and rolls, he can completely defend behind him and prevent them from switching defenses.

The Zen master adjusted his glasses and said, "Sometimes to play basketball well, you have to understand not only basketball, but also some psychological and philosophical things."

Lu Yusheng nodded, he probably understood some of what the Zen master meant.

Just like just now, after being continuously penetrated by Wade, his psychology was obviously a little unbalanced.

This caused his brain to no longer be calm and was always troubled by the breakthrough, so he was unable to discover the weaknesses of the opponent's lineup in the first place.

"I know how to fight, Phil, let me do it now," Lu Yusheng said.

"No need," Zen Master shook his head, "They should replace Shaq and Wade soon and let them rest. Let's leave it like this in the third quarter. With Kobe here, the score can be stable for the time being. The fourth quarter will be

Our true decisive moment."

Lu Yusheng had no choice but to nod his head and sit quietly on the sidelines watching.

Sure enough, in the second half of the third quarter, when the Heat gained a certain advantage because of Wade, Pat Riley quickly took Wade and O'Neal off the court to rest.

But Jackson did not replace Kobe, but let Kobe on the court to recover the score.

At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers trailed by 11 points, 86:97.

Regarding this score, commentator William Jones said, "Oh, Bird, it seems everything is pretty much what you expected. No one can limit Wade, which allowed him to play a super strong performance in the third quarter and allowed the Heat to

Big lead going into the fourth quarter."

Larry Bird was very proud, "This is the result of Kobe staying on the court after Wade and Shaq came off the court. If Kobe also came off the court at the same time as them, I guess the score would be even more exaggerated."

"Then do you think the Lakers will still have a chance in the fourth quarter if the game continues like this?"

Larry Bird hesitated, "I can't say that the Lakers have no chance at all, but to be honest, it's a bit of a suspense. Before this game started, I told you that the key to the Lakers winning this game is

Can we limit the Heat's two strong points, but at this point, I can only say that the Lakers have only succeeded a quarter of the time."

"Why a quarter?"

"Wade has no restrictions at all. As for O'Neal, it can be seen that the Zen Master's idea is to physically exhaust O'Neal in the first three quarters so that he loses his energy to participate in the crucial fourth quarter. But at this point, I

It can only be said that it was half successful, because Wade's long performance allowed Pat Riley to let O'Neal rest more. Whether on or off the court, O'Neal obviously got a lot of rest in the third quarter, so I

In other words, the Lakers were only successful in restricting these two strong points today," Larry Bird said.

"So, if the Lakers still can't limit O'Neal and Wade in the fourth quarter, they won't have a chance to win this game, right?"

"Of course." Larry Bird said, "That's why I said that the hope is very slim. It is really unrealistic to expect that a problem that has not been solved in the first three quarters will be suddenly solved in the fourth quarter. What's more, they are still ten points behind.

, so I estimate that the Heat will have a high probability of winning their fourth consecutive victory."

"Of course, even if this is the case, Lakers fans don't have to be too disappointed. After all, Miami's overall strength is indeed stronger than the Lakers. They are the defending champions. And the Lakers, in the two years after O'Neal left, they really did not find Kobe Bryant.

What a great helper. Although they have achieved three consecutive victories this season, losing to the defending champion is acceptable."

Kobe was sitting off the court wiping his sweat. When he heard O'Neal happily playing tricks on his teammates on the Heat bench next door, making them laugh, he felt a little angry.

But he also knows that he cannot blame his teammates. After all, the strength is there.

How much he wanted to win against the fat man. The lead in the first half gave him hope, but the course of the third quarter brought him back to reality.

Sweat fell drop by drop, and as he listened to the enthusiastic cheers of the Staples Center fans, he felt a little dazed for a moment.

The team's previous three consecutive victories once restored his confidence, but when the team faced strong teams, the strength displayed by the team still worried him.

Could it be that...will this year be another year of no harvest?

At this time, his eyes fell on Lu Yusheng not far away.

This boy also sat there silently like himself, without saying a word.

Kobe estimated that this kid was probably blaming himself internally.

Indeed, the fall behind in the third quarter had something to do with Lu Yusheng, who could not limit Wade's breakthrough.

But Kobe didn't intend to blame him. After all, he was just a rookie.

The maturity and sophistication he showed in the first three games made Kobe extremely happy. Moreover, this kid has the same attitude towards basketball as himself, diligent in training and perseverance. He even expressed his confidence in this season because of Lu Yusheng's performance.

Everyone has different expectations.

But now, Kobe understands that he is indeed playing well, but after all, he is still just a rookie.

In fact, the reason why Lu Yusheng sat there quietly without moving was not because he was blaming himself, but because the system prompts suddenly came!

【Ding!】

[Congratulations to the host, you have obtained a new star signature skill! Do you want to open it now? 】

Open it, of course!

This came just in time!

【Ding!】

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining Jason Kidd’s signature skill [predictive lateral movement defense], please practice more frequently and work hard to upgrade!]

Lu Yusheng couldn't help but feel ecstatic!

This is the skill he needs most right now!

After playing four games, the biggest headache for him was breakthrough players like Wade.

As for Jason Kidd, everyone knows his defensive skills at the point guard position.

When he first entered the league, the yellow-haired Kidd attracted everyone's attention with all kinds of dazzling passes, making everyone ignore his profound defensive skills.

It wasn't until he went to the Nets, and when he stopped using those flashy passes, that everyone noticed that this guy had a pretty strong defense.

Of course, this is not surprising at all. If people knew that he grew up playing with Gary Payton, they would not be too surprised by his defense.
