As soon as the second quarter began, the Rockets immediately sent out their main lineup.

As for the Lakers, because they were leading, Jackson sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and let the first team continue to rest.

Lu Yusheng led the Lakers' bench to play against the Rockets' starting lineup.

This put a lot of pressure on Lu Yusheng.

In the previous games, he and Vujacic were included in the substitute lineup, and the scoring was fairly guaranteed.

But today this kid doesn't know what's going on. He has no touch at all, and he doesn't take the initiative to attack.

Bynum inside was restricted by Uncle Mu and had difficulty connecting the ball, let alone scoring.

In other words, in the following time, facing Houston's main lineup, the scoring pressure will be on Lu Yusheng alone.

As the referee blows the whistle, the second quarter begins!

Lakers serve.

Lu Yusheng dribbled the ball across half court and faced Alston.

Alston is famous for his street ball. He was born in the mixed-race South Jamaica of Queens, New York, USA.

Because he lived near Rucker Park, known as the "street ball resort" in Queens, New York, he would go to the park almost every day. Gradually, he also fell in love with street ball, and from then on he competed on basketball courts in the streets of New York.

When he was 15 years old, he participated in the competition for the 18-and-over age group in Rucker Park. He immediately became popular in Harlem and the United States with his superb hand-changing dribbling, combined with all kinds of strange turning footwork.

In 2003, And1 launched the Skip series, and Alstom became the first streetball player in history to have his own brand of sneakers.

Although he is famous for his street ball, in fact, Alston's defense is not bad at all. During the Bucks and Heat, Alston was even the team's defensive leader at the first position.

Lu Yusheng knew all this, so when facing this street ball king, Lu Yusheng did not dare to neglect at all.

He did not directly try to break through like when facing Uncle Huo and Sura, but called a pick-and-roll.

Of course, this time, he did not ask Vujacic to pick and roll for him, but called Bynum inside.

Mainly because Vujacic had no desire to attack tonight, and passing the ball to him after the pick-and-roll was of no use.

It's better to let Bynum give it a try.

"Did you see that?" Buckley said proudly upon seeing this, "Facing Alston, he simply doesn't have the courage to break through. He also knows that he will definitely not be able to break through."

Mason said, "Hey, brother, can't we change our tactics according to the opponent's lineup? Lu has always scored on breakthroughs before. Now that the Rockets have changed to the main lineup, can't they change their tactics? Besides, they have always been the best.

What I'm good at is the pick-and-roll tactic. Did your Suns use the same tactic until the end?"

Buckley smiled and stopped talking.

Bynum used his thick body to give Lu Yusheng a solid pick-and-roll!

Alston chose to go behind. He obviously studied Lu Yusheng and knew that Lu Yusheng's shooting was unstable.

In this case, Lu Yusheng could only shoot.

Although Alston was defending from behind the pick-and-roll player, when Lu Yusheng raised the ball to shoot, he was surprised to find that Alston had already jumped in front of him, causing great interference to his shooting!

Obviously, Alston is also good at that. When he is getting around the pick-and-roll player, he secretly pushes the pick-and-roll player. Only in this way can he get in front of Lu Yusheng in the first time!

Moreover, what surprised Lu Yusheng even more was that he had never known that Alston's jumping was surprisingly good!

When this ball was thrown, Lu Yusheng felt that it was almost blocking his own shot!

tie!

This ball is indeed made of iron!

Bynum came out to pick and roll, and the Lakers basically had no height at the basket, so Yao Ming almost easily won the rebound!

The ball was handed to McGrady immediately, and McGrady dribbled the ball past half court!

Just after halftime, one step away from the three-point line, he suddenly pulled up and shot!

This unexpected shot left the Lakers players completely unprepared.

Aaron McGee rushed out in a hurry, but he was still far away from McGee!

Whoosh!

This super long three-pointer was scored hollowly!

"Zen Master didn't seem to know that the Rockets sent out their main lineup at the beginning of the second quarter, so he did not respond with the Lakers' first lineup.

Although the Lakers' bench team performed well against the Rockets' second team just now, I feel that they still struggled a bit against the Rockets' main team, especially on the defensive end. Aaron McGee obviously couldn't limit McGee."

Mason said.

"I think it is impossible for Master Zen not to consider that the Rockets will make substitutions. Everyone who has watched the Rockets game knows that Van Gundy will definitely send in the main lineup at the beginning of the second quarter. This is his coaching habit. Besides, the bench lineup has already been

After losing so much, if we don’t change the main force, we will just wait to be defeated.”

Barkley said, "I think the reason why Jackson didn't make any substitutions is that he still has confidence in the substitute lineup."

"It's rare, man, that you rarely made an objective comment tonight." Mason smiled.

"I haven't finished speaking yet," Barkley said, "but I think Zen Master's confidence is a bit overwhelming. The Rockets' second team is a soft persimmon, but the first team is not. Just those two moves on the ground, I think.

To compete with other people's main lineup is simply a dream. Look, Master Zen will pay a heavy price for his care."

On the court, the Lakers attacked, and Lu Yusheng dribbled the ball across half court.

This time, he still called Bynum's pick-and-roll.

After Bynum picked and rolled, Alston still chose to defend from behind Bynum.

But this time, Lu Yusheng made adjustments.

Seeing Alston coming around from the left, Lu Yusheng immediately dribbled to the right. In this way, it would be difficult for him to go around Bynum from the right!

And the result of Lu Yusheng's doing this is that he has to face brother Yao Ming!

Small versus big!

As we all know, when Yao Ming first entered the league, his lateral speed was still very slow. The famous scene of being knocked to the ground by Marbury was from his first game when he first entered the league.

But after the second season, Yao Ming's lateral speed suddenly improved, so Lu Yusheng did not dare to neglect even if he was playing small against the big.

Start dribbling and constantly change the rhythm to mobilize Yao Ming's focus.

But Yao Ming followed his little steps very closely and did not lose his position at all.

In this case, Lu Yusheng could only start to drastically change the direction of his body to shake Yao Ming's center of gravity.

Sure enough, it worked. Due to his height, Yao Ming's center of gravity was too high, so he still lost his center of gravity under this kind of shaking.

Lu Yusheng saw the right moment, accelerated and quickly broke through to the right!

After the breakthrough, McGrady quickly made up the defense!

McGrady's defensive ability was still very good when he was with the Rockets. He lowered his center of gravity and stared at Lu Yusheng.

Lu Yusheng knew that it was not easy to break through. He would not be able to regain his posture and break through like he had just faced Yao Ming. Even if he could break through, there would not be enough time to attack.

So he took a step forward and suddenly stepped back!

Shoot!

McGrady saw this and quickly jumped up to block the shot!

With Tracy McGrady's reaction speed and bullet speed as well as his super long wingspan, Lu Hanyu has almost no room to shoot this ball!

But Lu Yusheng had already thought about it when he took off. This ball was not a shot, because he saw Aaron McGee's air cut from the corner of his eye!

So after deceiving Tracy McGrady with a jump shot, Lu Yusheng suddenly changed from a shot to a pass, and passed the ball through the air to Aaron McGee, who was cutting in the air!

After Aaron McGee caught the ball, there was no one under the basket, so he just patted the ball and went straight to the basket!

Three-step layup!

The moment he took action, a huge shadow suddenly flew over from the side, completely covering Aaron McGee!

Yao Ming!

Aaron McGee's layup was basically slapped away by Yao Ming as soon as he took the shot!

He flew directly out of the auditorium.

Although the Lakers had the ball, there were only three seconds left in the attack time, and there was basically no time to organize an attack.

Lu Yusheng felt a little regretful. In fact, for that shot just now, Aaron McGee could have switched to his left hand in the air and relied on Yao Ming to wipe the board with his left hand for a layup.

But it is indeed a bit difficult for an aging substitute player.

There is no way. When the Lakers' bench players face the Rockets' starting lineup, the real strength gap is like this.

After all, the strength of the Rockets' starting lineup is among the top five in the entire league.

"See, Mason, your idol hasn't recorded any statistics since he came on the first team." Barkley mocked, "Not to mention scoring, not even assists."

"Brother, can you blame Lu for this?" Mason said, "He just missed a basket. For the ball just now, he had already fed the ball into Aaron McGee's mouth. It was Aaron McGee.

If you don't live up to expectations and get criticized, can you blame Lu?
