Chapter 138 [Bet]
Author: Can play the harmonica
"Hey, rookie, you scored two goals, don't you know where your tail is again?"
As soon as Delong came on the court, the trash talk started directly towards Lu Yusheng.
Lu Yusheng smiled, "Isn't your main lineup resting? Why did you come up so quickly? Is it possible that you are afraid that I, a rookie, will beat you to a pulp?"
"I'm not a defender like Fisher. If you want to take advantage of me, it's impossible." Deron said while dribbling, "Are you ready? I guess you will be shaken by me soon."
I can’t find the north.”
"Then just give it a try." Lu Yusheng said.
This time he was well prepared and tried to defend Deron according to the trick taught by Gary Payton.
So, this time, his attention was not on Deron's body, but on Deron's toes.
Delong's previous breakthroughs with Lu Yusheng were basically accurate, so he didn't take Lu Yusheng seriously at all.
"Are you ready? Rookie, let me tell you, I'm going to pass you now." Deron kept mumbling while dribbling.
Lu Yusheng ignored him and stared at his feet.
As Deron spoke, he began to gradually change the rhythm of dribbling.
Suddenly, he changed direction, accelerated suddenly, and broke through to the left!
This step is very wide and explosive!
But Lu Yusheng noticed that his toes did not change, so this should be just a fake move.
So he pretended to shift his center of gravity to the right, and then quickly moved to the left!
Sure enough, it was a fake move, and Deron quickly pulled the ball back.
But Lu Yusheng has completely blocked his breakthrough route!
This surprised Deron, who hurriedly dribbled backwards and adjusted again.
Lu Yusheng couldn't help but be overjoyed!
It seems that this trick is really useful against Delong!
He smiled and said to Delong, "I received your notice, but you don't seem to have passed it."
Delong sneered, "Don't worry, it's coming."
With that said, Deron started dribbling again.
Mr. Sloan, who was off the court, looked very ugly as he watched Deron constantly dueling with Lu Yusheng on the court.
After a period of dribbling with a changing rhythm, Deron once again suddenly broke through to the left!
This time, Lu Yusheng saw the changes in the toes of Delong's right foot!
This is going to be really sudden!
So Lu Yusheng hurriedly moved to the right.
What I didn't expect was that Deron's explosive power this time was so fast!
Although Lu Yusheng predicted the direction of Delong's breakthrough, his body was a little slower than half a beat.
Delong still gave him over!
Just pull up and shoot!
But this time, because Lu Yusheng was only a little slower, he still followed and jumped from the side to block the shot!
This ball... obviously interfered with Deron's shooting!
"Rebound!" Lu Yusheng shouted to Bynum inside.
He also hurriedly rushed to the backboard!
But what he didn't expect was that the ball bounced several times on the basket and finally scored.
Damn, this kid's luck is so good tonight.
Is this basket still the Lakers’ home basket?
Lu Yusheng was a little annoyed.
After scoring this goal, Delong was defending Lu Yusheng while talking trash again proudly.
"How about it, kid? I said I'd hit you, and I'll hit you."
On the Lakers bench, Phil looked at Lu Yusheng on the court and said to Kobe inadvertently, "Kobe, what do you think of Lu Yusheng's defense?"
"It's just so-so," Kobe said. "Sometimes it looks ridiculously bad. Players like Wade Davis have almost no way to defend, but sometimes it seems okay. For example, in the last game
The Heat, in the final stage, he was able to limit Wade. This guy's defense is as much of a mystery as his shooting."
Phil smiled, "Oh, Kobe, I think your requirements for him are a little too high. After all, he is still a rookie who has just played four NBA games. With this level of defense in the first grade, I
I think it’s okay. At least... he looks better than Fisher, doesn’t he?”
Kobe looked back at Phil for a long time and sighed, "I know my demands on him may be a bit high, but...his defense must get better now."
"Well, you're right," Phil Jackson said, "If we want to achieve good results this season, he must be reliable in this regard, especially defense, so..."
"So what?"
"So, can you teach him defense? I mean, you are a first-defense player after all, so it shouldn't be a problem to teach him a few moves, right?" Phil said.
"Of course that's no problem, but I'm...still observing," Kobe said.
"Observe? Observe what?"
Kobe said, "Observing his defensive routines, I have to know whether his defense can be taught. After all, defense is different from offense. Offense can be taught, but some things on defense cannot be taught.
Yes, it’s all about talent and attitude, I don’t want to do wasted work.”
"I don't think there is a problem with the attitude. You can see it in the last game against Wade. This time against Deron, although he was a bit miserable in the front, I have already seen his adjustment. I think, in the next game
, it should be difficult for Deron to challenge him again."
Kobe was a little confused, "I don't think it's possible."
"Then let's bet $100," said the Zen Master.
"What kind of bet?"
"If Lu restrains Deron tonight, you give me one hundred dollars. If he doesn't restrain Deron, I give you one hundred dollars." Phil said.
"That's great, can you raise the bet? Instead of a hundred dollars, just one million."
"Just a hundred."
"Please Phil, don't be so stingy. I know you sold a lot of books this summer, so you can't even afford to gamble, right? Unless you have no confidence in Lu's defense at all." Kobe said.
"What do you mean, you have no confidence in him?"
"Of course not." Kobe did not hesitate.
"Although Deron is a bit arrogant, he still has a few tricks up his sleeve. I observed Guo Lu's defense and found that he really had nothing to do against Deron. In the second half, I had to do it myself to restrict Deron."
The Zen master smiled slightly, "Since you are so confident in Delong, then I really have to take a gamble with you. Let's do this, one hundred thousand dollars, which is a lot, how about it?"
"Okay, I don't mind the lack of money anyway. If I win, you can treat everyone to a meal." Kobe said.
"I won't make any preparations, Kobe, but you should prepare the check quickly." The Zen Master said.
Kobe curled his lips disdainfully.
On the court, Delong defended all the way and made several steals, but Lu Yusheng was calm and resolved all of them.
He didn't pay attention to Deron's level of tight defense at all.
"Are you going to call a pick-and-roll again?" Deron mocked, "Come on, kid, show some real skills. Don't use those cowardly tactics. If you're not tired, I'm tired."
