Jason Kidd and Gary Payton both grew up in Oakland, and Kidd is more than 4 years younger than Payton.

When Kidd started playing basketball, Payton was already the local "kid king." Kidd often followed Payton to play on the street courts in Oakland. After playing, Payton would drag Kidd to play one-on-one, and

Constantly using his body and "trash talk" to challenge Kidd's psychological endurance.

It was at that time that Kidd developed a strong defensive foundation.

Lu Yusheng had previously obtained Gary Payton's [sideways steal] given by the system, but it only came in handy when the opponent attacked with his back, and was completely useless when the opponent broke through the frame.

Now, Kidd's [predictive lateral defense] is obviously aimed at opponents who break through the frame, and this is what Lu Yusheng needs most!

With this unique skill, Lu Yusheng will no longer be afraid of those speed breakthrough players!

Soon, the fourth quarter begins!

After the game started in the fourth quarter, the Heat replaced both Wade and O'Neal, which was obviously to stop the rhythm of the game.

As for the Lakers, despite Kobe's strong request to play, Jackson still put him on the bench.

After seeing the comparison of the lineups of the two sides, William Jones couldn't help but worry, "The Heat have replaced Wade and O'Neal, and this is obviously going to be a showdown, but the Zen Master took Kobe down at this time, and there is no more

Kobe, then the Lakers' offense is completely unprotected. I'm very worried that this will cause the score to be further widened, and the Lakers may be hanging..."

Larry Bird also said, "Yes, but there is no way. Jackson has to think about the problem from a long-term perspective. The season is still very long. He cannot let Kobe play too tired just for the sake of winning or losing in a regular season."

, he must protect Kobe and let him perform in the playoffs. Besides, in this game, Jackson probably did not come with the determination to win. After all, there is a big gap in strength between the two sides."

"Yes, it's good to let other Lakers players learn how to play without Kobe, especially a rookie like Lu Yusheng, and let him taste the taste of failure properly.

After all, he has never lost a game since he came to the Lakers," William Jones said.

Larry Bird nodded, "Yes, failure is part of the game."

Back to the game.

As the referee blew his whistle, the last quarter of the game between the two sides officially started!

The Heat are full of confidence. They knew from the beginning that they would win this game. What's more, at the beginning of this quarter, they still held a big advantage of 11 points. In this case, they

I don’t even know how to lose.

The Lakers were obviously lifeless. The third quarter clearly made them realize the strength gap with their opponents. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Jackson did not let Kobe Bryant play, so they also acquiesced in their hearts. Jackson had given up on this game.

Contest.

Moreover, facing the defending champion, an 11-point deficit in one quarter is basically impossible.

Therefore, when Lu Yusheng organized the Lakers' offense, he found that everyone was a little bit out of spirits.

After Walton came up to give him a pick-and-roll, he quickly moved down and Lu Yusheng passed the ball to Walton!

Haslem quickly made up the defense!

Walton passed the ball directly to Odom inside!

But Odom didn't catch the ball. He made a direct move and the basketball fell into Dorell Wright's hands!

Heat fast break!!

The Lakers retreated quickly and blocked the Heat's fast break in advance. Fortunately, the Heat's movement speed was relatively slow, otherwise the ball would have been wasted.

Seeing that the Lakers retreated in time, Payton controlled the ball and signaled to organize tactics and engage in positional warfare.

Wade wants the ball directly and attacks Vujacic directly.

Because he is not Kobe, Wade did not use a pick-and-roll to make the Lakers change defense this time.

But this time, Lu Yusheng took the initiative to move over and switch defenses with Vujacic!

He took the initiative to guard against Wade!

Vujacic and Wade could not help but be stunned for a moment.
Chapter completed!
