The New Orleans Hornets obviously did not expect Lu Yusheng to go directly to their center.

After all, at that time, Tyson Chandler was still at his peak and was a center with excellent defensive ability in the league.

If you go to him directly, you will definitely gain nothing.

Tyson Chandler was also ready to defend, but he didn't expect that when Lu Yusheng was still two steps away from him, he suddenly dribbled the ball and made a small throw!

Tyson Chandler reacted quickly and jumped directly to block the shot!

Lu Yusheng was already proficient in this small throw, and before Chandler reached out, he took the shot in advance.

The basketball passed through Tyson Chandler's fingertips and flew towards the basket!

Hit the board and score!

"Oh, there is something about Lu's throw," Daniel said. "Some of the top small guards in the league will make this kind of throw, but I feel like his throw is slightly different from others, but it seems to be different.

I can't tell the difference, it's very strange. It's like his throw seems to make it difficult for the opposing center to react. You know, Tyson Chandler's bullet speed is one of the best in the entire league, but it feels like he

Without any reaction, Lu Yusheng took action."

"You're right, Daniel. Although many top point guards in the league can do this small throw from behind the frame, Lu Yusheng's throw is indeed different. If you look carefully at his throw, it's a matter of luck.

When the ball is in the air, just pick it up and throw it. There is no pause between dribbling and throwing. It is done in one go. But everyone else has a pause. There must be a pre-shooting action, so it will give the center a certain degree of confidence.

There is room for reaction, but with Lu’s throw, he has no pre-shooting movements, so it is difficult for the center to predict," Magic said.

"But Lu's goal is very important, breaking the Lakers' scoring drought for half a day." Daniel said.

"No, no, no, the significance of this goal is not just as simple as breaking the scoring drought. The most important thing about this goal is that Lu Yusheng broke the Hornets' siege tactics. After scoring this goal, they can no longer do this.

They wantonly surrounded Lu Yusheng," the magician said.

On the court, the New Orleans Hornets attack.

Chris Paul dribbles past half court.

Lu Yusheng stepped forward to defend.

Chris Paul dribbles the ball and calls David West for a pick-and-roll.

Lu Yusheng chose to go behind the pick-and-roll player to defend. Chris Paul went directly behind David West, and Lu Yusheng continued to go in the opposite direction.

This time Chris Paul took off and shot directly!

Scored from mid-range!

Lu Yusheng had a headache. He had thought about how to defend Chris Paul's pick-and-roll countless times in his mind, but he had never come up with a good solution.

Chris Paul's pick-and-roll tactics are the main tactics of the New Orleans Hornets' positional warfare, because Jerry West and Tyson Chandler are both inside players who are extremely suitable for playing pick-and-rolls, especially David West, whose

The pick-and-roll is very solid, and as a fourth position, he also has extremely stable mid-range shots and one-on-one moves at the basket.

This kind of inside player is simply an artifact of pick-and-roll tactics. When encountering such a player, the point guard simply doesn't have to deal with it too much.

Therefore, no matter what defense method you choose, there seems to be no way to completely restrict them.

Lu Yusheng can only think of other strategies on the court, because sometimes the strategy you envision in your mind will actually lead to different situations on the court.

But now on the court, Lu Yusheng found that there still seemed to be no solution. This move of switching defenses was obviously of no use to Chris Paul. Let Odom defend Chris Paul. With Chris Paul's ability to defeat big players with small players, basically

Going up means giving points.

Double-teaming seems useless. After all, with Chris Paul's dribbling and ball-playing abilities, double-teaming is of no use at all.

Therefore, Lu Yusheng could only choose to defend from behind, but this would give Chris Paul space for a jump shot.

Lu Yusheng estimated that Paul might hesitate. After all, Chris Paul had been driving his teammates before, so he might not attack directly.

He didn't expect that he would shoot a jumper without any hesitation.

It seems that next time, I will have to use another defensive strategy.

Lakers attack!

Lu Yusheng dribbled the ball past half court, and still called Vujacic's pick-and-roll.

What Lu Yusheng didn't expect was that this time, the New Orleans Hornets still chose to switch defense.

Facing Peja Stojakovic's defense, Lu Yusheng continued to choose to break through.

This time, after he broke through, Tyson Chandler took two steps forward!

Obviously, the New Orleans Hornets do not intend to directly change their defensive strategy. After all, this is a defensive strategy carefully prepared for Lu Yusheng before the game. It would be a bit wasteful to change the strategy if Lu Yusheng only scored once.

They want to try again.

So this time, the defensive pressure is on Tyson Chandler.

After all, he was directly facing Lu Yusheng. If he could defend Lu Yusheng, then they would not have to change their defensive strategy.

Lu Yusheng noticed the changes in Tyson Chandler. He was obviously more aggressive than last time.

Therefore, Lu Yusheng's strategy is that once his defensive position is too aggressive, he will find a way to pass the ball to Kwame Brown.

Unfortunately, although Tyson Chandler's position was more radical than last time, he never let go of his defender, so it was difficult for Lu Yusheng to have a chance to pass the ball to Kwame Brown.

If he doesn't take a shot, Peja Stojakovic will immediately form a circle behind him.

Therefore, Lu Yusheng dribbled the ball directly to the right without saying anything. While dribbling, he suddenly followed the trend and made another small throw!

Tyson Chandler was already prepared and flew directly to block the shot!

But this time, he still didn't touch the ball!

Lu Yusheng deliberately raised the arc of this throw, so even though Tyson Chandler was well prepared and tried his best to block the shot, Lu Yusheng still made the throw!

Just call in!

"Wow, Lu Yusheng's shot is still very difficult. Tyson Chandler has basically defended it perfectly, but Lu Yusheng still threw it. Even with such a high arc, he still scored!"

Daniel shouted!

"This goal is indeed very difficult, much more difficult than the one just now," Magic also said. "It can be seen that the Hornets did not intend to change their defensive strategy immediately after Lu Yusheng scored the goal just now.

Instead, they wanted to try again, but Lu Yusheng gave them a positive response in this attack, announcing to them that your defensive strategy can no longer trap me.

I have to say that this kid's progress is really fast. When I saw Lu Yusheng use this move in the previous games, I was still a little bit jerky, but it didn't take too long and he had already mastered it.

The move was done with great proficiency. Tyson Chandler had obviously made sufficient defensive preparations just now, but Lu Yusheng deliberately adjusted the arc and scored directly!

I believe that in this case, Lu Yusheng can still score. In the next round, the Hornets will definitely adjust their defensive strategy. Based on my understanding of Byron Scott, I believe that he will call soon.

Paused."

"Oh, I almost forgot, coach Byron Scott was your former teammate." Daniel said, "But I think Byron Scott can actually let the Hornets players make adjustments on the court first. After all, they

With a core defender like Chris Paul on the court who has a brain level, he should have the ability to adjust.

Besides, the Hornets are just not doing a good job of defending Lu Yusheng right now. Their offense has not encountered any difficulties. At most, the two sides just can't guard each other."

"No, no, no, that's because you don't know much about Byron Scott's coaching style. Let me tell you, he is the kind of coach who does everything in detail. Once the strategies and tactics formulated before the game fail or encounter obstacles,

, he will definitely call a timeout immediately to make adjustments. This guy is such a person. When we used to play games, whenever we encountered difficulties on the court, this guy would always be in my ear and keep asking me to be present.

Asking for a timeout is annoying me to death."

Daniel laughed loudly, "I really can't imagine that he is such a person. To be honest, he is quite cute."

"Yeah, later he started marketing to our coach Pat Riley, asking him to call a timeout in time when he encounters a situation. His philosophy is that when encountering any situation on the court, it is best to call a timeout and solve it off the court.

His reason is that when players are playing on the court and are in adversity, everyone will be anxious and uncool, so calling a timeout at this time not only solves tactical problems, but more importantly, allows everyone to calm down.

Come down," said the magician.

"When you put it like that, I think his idea seems to make sense." Daniel said.

"His point of view is indeed correct, but the problem is like what you just said, athletes have the ability to adjust on the court. Players like me and Chris Paul have this ability. There is no need to meet each other.

When there is a problem, call a timeout, but this guy is so stubborn, and he has always thought so. He couldn't achieve it when he was a player. Now that he is a coach, it is exactly what he wants." Magic said, "So believe me, he will definitely do it.

A timeout will be called soon."

Sure enough, after being guessed by the magician, Byron Scott immediately requested a timeout not long after.

On the Lakers bench, Zen Master said to Lu Yusheng, "Lu, the idea just now was good, but if you want to win this game, you must still find a way to drive others to score."

Lu Yusheng nodded, "Do you have any good ideas to break their pick-and-roll tactics?"

"Change defense." The Zen master replied without thinking.

Lu Yusheng was stunned, "Let Odom defend Chris Paul?"

Jackson turned back to Odom and said, "Lamar, I'm afraid your focus will be more on defense tonight, especially defending Chris Paul alone. This is a big challenge for you, and you must be mentally prepared."

Odom nodded. Of course he understood the meaning of the Zen master's words. Asking Odom to defend Chris Paul alone was not only a physical exertion, but also a psychological one.

After all, when the opponent keeps attacking you and then scoring again and again, this is also a big torture for the athlete's confidence.

Lu Yusheng probably understands Zen Master's intention. The strategy of switching defense is to consume Paul. After all, singles play is a very physical offensive method. No matter how good you are, if you keep fighting, it will not hurt you.

It is also a great consumption of physical strength.
