Author: Can play the harmonica

Lu Yusheng started dribbling the ball with his hips, constantly changing directions to test the opponent's center of gravity.

Second Uncle Huo saw Lu Yusheng's intention, lowered his center of gravity and opened his arms.

A posture where one man is in charge and no one can stop him!

But Lu Yusheng only slightly sped up the frequency of dribbling, and Uncle Huo obviously couldn't keep up with the rhythm.

The center of gravity began to shift away.

Lu Yusheng saw the opportunity and accelerated to the right to break through. Uncle Huo's center of gravity was on the left and he couldn't get it back at all.

Lu Yusheng's acceleration was not too fast, and Uncle Huo couldn't react at all.

All I could do was watch Lu Yusheng rush into the paint!

Seeing Lu Yusheng break through, Mutombo took a step forward without letting go of Kwame Brown.

Uncle Mu, who has won 4 DPOYs, is still very experienced in defense. Generally, inexperienced post players will reflexively jump out to defend when the opponent breaks into the post.

In this situation, for the opponent's point guard, it is basically a matter of sending an assist. He only needs to pass it to the unguarded center under the basket.

Uncle Mu only took one step forward, which not only threatened and restricted Lu Yusheng, but also did not lose control of his defender.

Don't underestimate this step, not everyone can achieve this effect with just one step.

This places very high demands on defenders to control their defensive positioning.

Only a defensive player of Uncle Mu's level can have such an effect, he can advance, attack, retreat and defend.

Lu Yusheng was stunned for a moment and took a step forward. Uncle Mu immediately approached Lu Yusheng!

Lu Yusheng was busy passing the ball to Kwame Brown!

Uncle Mu noticed it and hurriedly retreated!

But I didn’t expect that Lu Yusheng was a fake rumor!

Taking advantage of the moment when Uncle Mu's center of gravity was back, Lu Yusheng directly raised his hand and took advantage of the situation to make a small throw from the frame!

Uncle Mu hurriedly jumped to block the shot!

The basketball passed Uncle Mu's fingertips and was thrown into the basket!

Although the ball was scored, what made Lu Yusheng feel terrible was that even though he had completely deceived Uncle Mu just now, Uncle Mu still almost blocked the ball just now...

You must know that at this time, Uncle Mu is already forty years old!

At this age, he can still maintain such bounce and speed, which is simply terrifying.

If he had been a few years younger, he might have blocked the ball just now!

"Nice throw!" Mason shouted immediately, "Old man, did you see it? Didn't you say that Lu lacks offensive methods and offensive ability?"

"It's just a throw. What does it mean? This kind of ball is all about luck. It's obvious that he was lucky tonight." Barkley said.

"Please, this kind of small throw in front of the frame is a difficult skill, okay? Looking at the entire league, there are not many point guards who can make such a throw safely while watching Uncle Mu's block."

"That's why I said it was a fluke. Mutombo has completely interfered with his shooting. It's obviously just luck that he can score such a goal." Barkley said stubbornly.

"Anyway, man, he has already scored six points," Mason said. "There are only fourteen points left from your twenty points. Are you still stubborn?"

"Of course, these six points, two unguarded dunks after steals, and a lucky ball were all scored in an abnormal state. Can this also be regarded as scoring ability?

?" Barkley disagreed.

On the Rockets bench, McGrady said to coach Van Gundy, "Let Sura play, coach. I really don't understand the purpose of letting Howard, a forward, play point guard. He can't guard the Lakers' No. 6 at all."

Van Gundy said nothing.

The main reason why Van Gundy chose to let Huo Ershu, a substitute forward, play against Lu Yusheng was because he had studied the Lakers' game style before.

He discovered a very important reason why the Lakers were able to win five consecutive games this season, and that was this Chinese-American substitute rookie.

This kid was very important to the Lakers when he led the bench. He found that no matter what situation the Lakers' main lineup was playing on the court, as long as this guy went up to lead the bench, he could always lead the team to tie the score.

difference, or widening the gap.

In several games, the Lakers struggled to win with their opponents until the very last moment, thus demonstrating the importance of Lu Yusheng.

If he hadn't completely suppressed the opponent's second lineup during the period when he led the bench, the Lakers would have had no chance to fight the opponent until the final anxious moment.

Therefore, Van Gundy believes that it is very important to limit Lu Yusheng's performance during substitute time and prevent him from leading the team to widen the point difference.

The characteristic of Lu Yusheng he summarized is that he is extremely capable in pick-and-roll tactics, but his other breakthrough and offensive abilities are average.

This is why Van Gundy chose to use the forward Uncle Huo to face Lu Yusheng.

He believes that Uncle Huo, as a substitute forward, lacks speed and explosive power, but Lu Yusheng is not fast either, and Uncle Huo can use his weight and wingspan to limit Lu Yusheng's pick-and-roll tactics.

But now it seems that his strategy has completely failed.

Uncle Huo not only failed to restrict Lu Yusheng's pick-and-roll, he even couldn't restrict Lu Yusheng's breakthrough.

In the video, he felt that Lu Yusheng didn't have much speed or explosive power, but he didn't expect that when facing Uncle Huo, Lu Yusheng barely used any speed or explosive power and easily defeated Uncle Huo.

It seems that he still underestimates this kid.

But now, the substitute lineup has only played for a short time, and the score has not been opened, so Van Gundy has no intention of replacing Uncle Huo.

Let him try again.

However, the problem is that Uncle Huo is basically a side effect on the court now. He could organize tactics before, but now he is afraid of Lu Yusheng's steals and dare not organize tactics at all.

Without anyone to organize tactics, the Rockets' second lineup was a mess.

Only one or two lucky goals can be scored at the end of the shot clock.

But on the Lakers' side, Lu Yusheng took advantage of Uncle Huo's weakness, attacked hard, made sudden shots, and scored six points in a row, without giving Uncle Huo any chance to breathe.

Van Gundy on the sidelines finally couldn't sit still and hurriedly called a timeout.

At this moment, the Lakers already lead the Rockets by 6 points, 32:26.

If this continues, studying his video will be in vain.

Mason in the commentary box was also very proud, "Wow, old man, let's take a look at the technical statistics of the Lakers' No. 6 kid who has no offensive ability, okay?"

Buckley smiled but said nothing.

"Assists: 0, well, it's really not that good. Rebounds: 2, which is average. Score, oh? What's going on? Doesn't this guy have no offensive ability? How can he score in just a few minutes?

12 points? This is wrong, old man, please help me explain, what is going on?"

Buckley laughed.

"Oh, what are you laughing at, my old man? Come and help me answer my confusion. I really can't understand how a rookie who was deemed to have no offensive ability by former NBA stars could get it in such a short time.

Such a high score?”

"Okay," Barkley said, "let me answer your doubts. The fact is, Juwan Howard is really bad. Although he will play a guest point guard at some point in the Rockets, he is really just a point guard.

He is a forward, not a qualified point guard. It is his extreme unqualification that allows this kid Lu Yusheng to score easily. You have also seen that whether it is that kid's breakthrough or shooting, Juwan Howard can't use him at all.

There is no way."

"What a quibble." Mason smiled, "You are a stubborn guy, it seems really difficult for you to admit that Lu is excellent, but it doesn't matter, anyway, I only need to win your thousand dollars today."

"That's probably not possible either," Buckley said.

"Oh? Are you kidding me?" Mason said, "In just a few minutes, he has already scored 12 points. His scoring efficiency is even higher than that of Kobe. You told me that he could not score 20 points in the whole game.

?”

"Man, listen to me, I don't just cover it randomly." Buckley said seriously.

"Okay, I'd like to hear how you, a former professional player, analyze that he couldn't score twenty points," Mason said.

"I have already said that it was a fluke that he could score these twelve points. He can only have such an opportunity when facing a non-professional point guard like Juwan Howard. Once he meets a normal point guard,

He can't even think about it."

Mason curled his lips with disdain.

"Let's see, Van Gundy will definitely be replaced by another point guard during this timeout, and he will definitely be misfired by then," Barkley said.

Just as he said that, the pause was over.,

Sure enough, this time Van Gundy immediately replaced point guard Bob Sura after the timeout.

"Man, do you think Bob Sula is a legitimate point guard?" Mason asked.

"Sura? Forget it, of course it does. Although he is not too strong, compared to Juwan Howard, he is a pure point guard after all. So, let's see, what will happen next?

It’s already impossible for Juwan Howard to score at will," Barkley said.

"Okay, listen to you, I'll wait and see."

The whistle blows and the game continues!

Rocket ball rights.

Bob Sula dribbled the ball across half court.

Lu Yusheng stepped forward to defend.

In my impression, Bobosura was also a weak defender, so Lu Yusheng directly defended and tried to steal.

But Bob Sula is, after all, a serious point guard at the NBA level. Although he is not very strong, he is experienced in many battles and will not be directly intercepted like Juwan Howard.

He began to direct the tactics in a matter-of-fact manner.

"Did you see that?" Barkley was very satisfied with this. "Once there is a qualified point guard to defend him, can he still steal?"

Mason said helplessly, "Please, do you think that a qualified point guard just doesn't get intercepted?"

On the court, Bob Sula was dribbling and organizing, and when Kirk Snyder ran out of the point guard, he directly chose to pass the ball.

After Kirk Snyder caught the ball, he shot directly, and Vujacic jumped out to block the shot!

Kirk Snyder was obviously disturbed by Vujacic on this shot and the shot was short.

The Lakers got the rebound.

Lu Yusheng dribbled the ball past half court. Facing Bob Sula's defense, Lu Yusheng only passed the ball once. When the ball returned to his hands again, he directly started dribbling to break through.

Bob Sula is obviously faster than Juwan Howard, so Lu Yusheng cannot break through directly with just a few changes of direction like before.

But Lu Yusheng patiently changed the rhythm, and he found that Bob Sula's center of gravity was still moved away.

Still accelerating, he easily broke through Bob Sura's defense!

After this pass, when he saw Uncle Mu approaching aggressively, Lu Yusheng did not try to dribble inside and use a throw to score. That was a bit risky.

This time he directly chose a pull-up jump shot!

Still scored!

On the Rockets bench, Yao Ming said to Van Gundy, "Jeff, this won't work. Our second team is no match for them. If this continues, the score will get bigger and bigger."

"There is no way." Van Gundy said, "The second team also needs to be tempered. If we want to go further this year, the second team must step up early, otherwise we will still have a hard time in the playoffs."

McGrady on the side said a little discouraged, "This is not a matter of experience. They are all old players who have played many games, not young players."

The implication is clear, the Rockets' management should do something.

Van Gundy naturally understood what McGrady meant, "Tracy, do you think I haven't mentioned it to him? But the problem is that there were many bad contracts in our previous transactions, and our space was basically locked. This summer is very difficult."

It’s hard to get a good deal.”

"I know the team's salary space, but do we have to trade it? Why can they (the Lakers) select players of this level in the 20th round of the draft, but we have the No. 8 lottery pick and can't select it?

A decent player?" McGrady said.

"We selected Rudy Gay. I think this kid is pretty good, but they traded him to the Grizzlies without my consent." Van Gundy said with some annoyance.

"Tracy, you can't blame Van Gundy," said Yao Ming on the side. "You know, among so many rookies this year, no one expected that the No. 26 pick could play so well. He even completely overshadowed those rookies.

It’s such a beautiful style, it’s something that’s hard to predict.”

McGrady breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Bob Sula being beaten by Lu Yusheng once again, he couldn't help but sigh again, "Looks like I've wasted another year."

"Hey, Tracy," Yao Ming hurriedly stopped McGrady, "the season has just begun, we are very hopeful."

Maddie didn't take it seriously and chewed gum silently.

On the court, Lu Yusheng once again broke through Bob Sura's defense and scored in the mid-range shot!

The first quarter of the game is over!

The score on the court came to 38:28.

The Lakers already led by ten points.

When the game ended, the Zen master was very happy and said, "Lu, you played well!"

It can be said that Lu Yusheng almost perfectly completed the task assigned to him by the Zen Master.

But Lu Yusheng didn't respond. He hadn't communicated with the Zen master for a long time.

In the commentary box, Mason smiled and said, "What should we do, buddy? Your serious point guard Sura doesn't seem to be limiting that kid's scoring. Now the first quarter has just ended, and his score has already reached 16 points.

, what should I do? Do you want to bet that he won’t even score four points in the remaining three quarters?”

Buckley laughed loudly, "Okay, I have to admit, I'm afraid I'm going to lose this bet."

"I don't need the money, but Barkley, remember, it only took this kid almost half a quarter to break your prejudice. Now, can you admit that the level of this rookie Lu is indeed good?" Mason

said.

Buckley took the cash out of his pocket and said, "Then I'd better give you the money."

"Why do you just refuse to admit this fact? You have to know that his joining has enabled the Lakers to win five consecutive games. This is something they couldn't even imagine last season."

"But it's hard for me to admit it. Mason, come on, he defeated the likes of Juwan Howard and Bob Shula. Do you want me to admit that he is the future point guard nemesis of the league?"

"OK OK, let me ask you now, where is Alston? What do you think of Alston? If my guess is right, at the beginning of the second quarter, Van Gundy will definitely send their starting point guard Alston to stop the bleeding.

, what if he also defeats Alston? Can you recognize Lu's strength?" Mason asked.

"Of course." Barkley said, "Although Alston is from a street ball background, he is definitely one of the upper-middle point guards in the league. If he can really beat Alston head-on, then you don't need to say it, I will naturally

I will recognize his strength. I would be willing to pay a thousand dollars or kiss the donkey’s butt again.”

"Okay, this is what you said!"

"No problem, but I still think he has no chance. I think Alston's breakthrough alone is enough for that kid to drink a pot."
Chapter completed!
