Author: Can play the harmonica

At the end of the first quarter, Lu Yusheng led the Lakers to chase the score to 26:20, only six points behind.

The Spurs put on the bench as usual.

The Lakers also replaced Lu Yusheng.

Originally, Lu Yusheng didn't want to end the game. After all, the situation is very good for the Lakers now.

Moreover, the Spurs replaced their main lineup. Lu Yusheng planned to take advantage of this time to lead the Lakers' bench to catch up and take the lead.

But Phil Jackson said he rejected him, "No, Lu, tonight will be a long game. It will definitely not be like you said, which side of us and the Spurs can solve the problem immediately? It will be a long game."

The tug-of-war, now the game has just begun, and you,"

Zen Master stared at Lu Yusheng and said, "You will be the absolute protagonist of tonight's game. You must maintain good physical strength until the final decisive moment. Do you understand? This is why I didn't let you play in the beginning."

Lu Yusheng wanted to insist on playing, but after hearing the last words of the Zen Master, he gave up.

After all, people have said that he is the absolute protagonist tonight.

Once you put on such a hat, how can you have the nerve to refute?

Of course, what the Zen Master said makes sense. This game will indeed be a long game, and he must maintain his physical strength.

But Lu Yusheng was also a little worried about whether the Lakers' substitutes could give him some time to rest.

After all, it was Ginobili who led the Spurs' bench.

This is also an important reason why the strong teams in the league are strong. Not only are their first lineup strong, but their bench lineup cannot be weak either.

The substitute lineup of a strong team does not need to win much, but it must at least maintain the advantage gained by the main lineup and must not collapse.

Just like the Houston Rockets, the reason why it is difficult for them to become a strong team is that their bench lineup is too weak and always digs holes for the main lineup.

How can the substitute lineup be strong?

Many people think that it is determined by the player's personal strength. But in fact, the real strength of the substitute players is only one aspect.

After all, every team has a salary cap. The main players get the majority, and the rest goes to the bench players. There is only so much money. The situation of every team is actually similar. It is unlikely that there will be many strong players on the bench.

.

This depends on how your substitute lineup is matched, whether your players can understand your team's system, and whether your substitute players can adapt to your system.

The most important thing is whether your substitute players have a suitable leader to lead them.

The role of this leader is very important. He must not only have strong organizational skills, be able to organize the bench lineup and lead everyone to play, but also have strong offensive ability. Once your teammates cannot open up, you must have the ability to score independently.

The ability to open up situations.

This is the legendary Sixth Man.

Just like Ginobili of the Spurs and James Harden of the Thunder.

They are definitely one of the strongest people in this position and function.

The strength of the Spurs' substitutes not only takes advantage of Ginobili.

More importantly, the Spurs' payroll.

Their team leaders, Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, and Ginobili, took the initiative to cut their salaries many times, which gave them more funds to sign better substitute players.

These two points are the reason why the Spurs have a strong bench, and they are also the reason why the Spurs have remained prosperous since the beginning of the new millennium.

Lu Yusheng sat off the court and watched the second lineup competition between the Lakers and Spurs.

Kobe on the side suddenly said, "You have to pay attention to Bowen."

"What?"

"Almost every time he defends, he makes a subconscious movement of extending his right foot forward," Kobe said.

"Who doesn't know this? Isn't he famous for being a stepping stone?" Lu Yusheng said.

"This guy can't change now," Kobe said. "I once communicated with him, and he said that he actually didn't want to carry this bad reputation. He wanted to adjust, and he tried hard, but it was difficult to adjust. Maybe it was him.

The problem is left after the leg injury."

Lu Yusheng smiled helplessly, "Boss, do you believe his nonsense? What kind of problem is left after a leg injury? The ball is dirty just because it is played, don't make any excuses!"

Lu Yusheng would not believe Bowen's nonsense. If your stretch is due to the legacy of injury, then what did you say when you crippled Nash?

"No, you misunderstood me." Kobe said, "What I mean is, no matter what his reasons are, you must be careful when facing his defense. Although the ankle injury is not a serious injury,

It can be recovered quickly, but it will be cumulative, and it is likely to cause other injuries."

Lu Yusheng nodded, "I understand, don't worry, I will be careful."

"Also, pay attention to Ginobili," Kobe pointed at Ginobili and said, "After he breaks through, if he looks at Duncan inside, then he must break through by himself or after the breakthrough.

Pass the ball to the outside. If he is looking outside, he must find a way to pass the ball inside."

Lu Yusheng:......

He observed it carefully, and it seemed that this was really the case.

"How do you always capture the details of their techniques so accurately?" Lu Yusheng asked.

"Nothing, just watch more videos and observe more." Kobe said, "In fact, defense is not all about the body, but more about mastering their technical habits. You have to know that most of the players who can play in the NBA have already

After playing for many years, many technical moves and habits have long become a part of their bodies. If you observe more and watch more videos, you will definitely be able to catch these details of theirs."

Lu Yusheng nodded, this is probably the reason why he can have nine primary defenses.

On the court, the Lakers' bench was indeed no match for the Spurs' second lineup.

Ginobili led the Spurs' bench to quickly regain their advantage.

Under the leadership of Smushparker, the Lakers had no ability to parry and quickly gave away the advantage Lu Yusheng had regained.

The Zen Master called a timeout.

Lu Yusheng thought he was about to be replaced and stood up in a hurry.

But the Zen master shook his head and said, "No, Farmar, come on."

Lu Yusheng gritted his teeth and said, "Phil, let me go."

"What did I just tell you?" the Zen master asked.

Lu Yusheng stopped talking and had to sit back.

Zen Master asked Farmar to replace Smushparker. Smushparker was obviously a little dissatisfied. After all, he had just come on the field and had not played long before he was replaced again.

"Coach, what went wrong? We played together, why did I have to be the only one when something went wrong? Am I the only one responsible for the defeat?"

Smushpark asked, spreading his hands.

"Shut up and go back to your seat!" the Zen Master said unceremoniously.

Smushpark was stunned, and everyone was also stunned.

Because this was the first time they heard the Zen master get angry, most of the time, no matter what the team members said, the Zen master could maintain a gentle and gentle attitude.

Even the last time Smushparker contradicted the Zen Master and said harsh words, the Zen Master remained calm.

Unexpectedly, the Zen Master unexpectedly got angry this time.

"Parker," the Zen master took two steps forward, "do you think I didn't give you a chance? Let everyone tell you, did I give you a chance, and how much pressure did I put on you last season?

I stayed, but what about you? How did you repay me? How did you perform in the playoffs last season? Did I say anything to you? "

The Zen master's voice suddenly increased, and everyone was afraid to speak for a while.

In fact, under normal circumstances, people who don't usually get angry are more scary than anyone else once they get angry.

The other Lakers teammates were silent for a moment.

Smushparker was obviously a little confused.

"At the end of last season, I talked to you specifically. I asked you to seize the time to practice your passing and three-pointers. But what about you, man, in one offseason, which of these two aspects do you want?

Have you made progress? As a point guard, you have never had a breakthrough. If you don't have long-range shots and passes, do you think you can still gain a foothold in the NBA besides the Lakers?!"

"Just this season, don't you know how good Lu Lu is playing as a rookie?! But I still put him on the bench and asked you to start. Don't I just want to give you a chance? Don't I?

Is it because when we first met, you told me that I was your idol and your dream was to win the championship under my coaching?

I was moved by your dream, and I gave you a chance, but what about you? What did you do for your dream? You didn’t spend time on training during the offseason. You took that woman from Bulgaria around the world.

The world has gone!..."

The Zen master should have had a lot more to say, but unfortunately the timeout was over and he could only give up in a hurry.

After Zen Master got angry, the Lakers bench became very quiet, and no one spoke anymore.

Smushparker also sat obediently at the end of the bench without saying a word.

Only then did Lu Yusheng understand that the reason why Smushparker was able to stay in the Lakers and become a starter was because of Zen Master.

He was not blaming the Zen master for his selfishness. After all, there is nothing wrong in giving people with dreams a chance.

It's a pity that the Zen master made a mistake in his kindness. Smushparker is obviously not the kind of person who works hard for his dreams.
