Chapter 194 The Hornets’ Problem

Lu Yusheng scored twice with his back to Chris Paul, causing the Hornets to immediately call a timeout.

"With Byron Scott's habits, he will definitely call a timeout, there is no doubt about it." Magic Johnson said.

"Yes, Lu Yusheng has scored consecutively, especially against his signature player Chris Paul. This timeout must be called," Daniel said.

"No, no, no, you are wrong, Daniel," Magic Johnson said. "This timeout is not because Chris Paul was beaten twice by Lu Yusheng, but because their tactics were destroyed by Lu Yusheng.

Moreover, it was a tactic that they had carefully studied before, but it was destroyed by Lu Yusheng. Believe me, they must have carefully studied the game between the Lakers and the Spurs, and I can fully imagine that when they studied the tactics against Lu Yusheng's back hand,

At that time, Chris Paul must have said it’s okay, don’t worry, I can handle it myself.”

"That fits Chris's character."

"Yes, I guess that will be the case," Magic said. "After all, although Chris Paul is only a second-year rookie, his defensive ability is definitely top-notch at the No. 1 position. So.

He must have such confidence. From the defense of these two goals just now, we can completely feel that the Hornets intend to use Chris Paul's strong personal defensive ability to solve the problem on their own."

"But they didn't expect that this kid Lu Yusheng was really good in singles. Chris Paul's single defense couldn't solve it," Daniel said.

"Yeah, that's why I said, this could be a problem for the New Orleans Hornets tonight."

"Why?" Daniel asked in confusion, "If a defensive tactic is defeated, just adjust it. It won't be a problem tonight, right?"

The magician smiled and said, "It's not an exaggeration at all, Daniel, I can give you two reasons. First, this tactic is not that easy to defend. Think about it, in the entire league, the number one position is actually not very defensive.

He is too good at defensive post-up play. After all, there are very few teams that use post-up play at the No. 1 position as their main tactic.

The reason why the Lakers can do this is actually because Lu Yusheng has the ability to attack with a back, and more importantly, his back-up tactic is actually a variant of the triangle offense, so the Lakers can play it.

, but not other teams.”

Daniel nodded, "That makes sense."

"The second reason is that attacking the opponent's point guard with his back is only superficial. Using this move to change the opponent's defensive formation and thereby drive the whole team is the ultimate purpose of this move, and Lu Yusheng has exactly that

He has a pretty good passing support ability, so I said that this move is not that easy to defend. If it was just a matter of assisting defense, then Popovich would definitely not be so chaotic that night."

"That's true."

"Furthermore, I estimate that when the New Orleans Hornets were preparing before the game, they must have thought that Chris Paul's single defense would have absolutely no problem, so they did not prepare any back-ups. But now, the problem has arisen, let's see.

Can Lenscott find a way to solve this problem?"

"What do you know about Byron Scott? Do you think he can solve this problem easily?"

"I think it may not be that easy." Magic laughed, "It's not because I underestimate my old teammate. In fact, he is very capable. At least, in the position of coach, he has done much better than me.

.”

Daniel laughed.

Magic continued, "But the problem is that the question Lu Yusheng is raising now is a question raised by all point guards and all coaches in the league. He cannot solve the problem alone, so I think this is really a question.

It’s not easy to deal with. Let’s see if they have any good ideas.”

"Although I definitely recognize your professionalism, after all, I am your die-hard fan." Daniel said, "But regarding Lu Yusheng's post-up singles, I think you are a little bit sensitive. After all, this is just a game.

With this skill, there are many stars in the league who are proficient in post-ups, so it won’t become a problem for the league, right?”

"No, no, no, Daniel, you didn't understand what I meant. What I'm saying is not that the post-up technique will cause problems in the league, but that Lu Yusheng, as a point guard, using this technique as a regular weapon will cause problems in the league.

Headache,

Because not only can he score by himself, but he can also attract defense and drive teammates to score through back-up play. This will become a tactic, because no one has ever done this, so the coaches in the league have never considered dealing with it.

Countermeasures, just like now, I don’t think Byron Scott can solve this problem for a while.”

Seeing that Daniel still couldn't believe it, the magician smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, you will understand after watching the game later."

Whistle.

The game continues!

The New Orleans Hornets serve and Chris Paul dribbles past half court.

It was still a pick-and-roll tactic, and Lu Yusheng moved back very quickly, giving Chris Paul no chance to operate.

He can only continue to use pick-and-rolls to find opportunities.

But after the two attacks just now, the Lakers' defensive enthusiasm became obviously higher. Chris Paul used pick-and-rolls continuously but failed to find a suitable opportunity.

He had no choice but to take the initiative to find Odom and start a small fight with the big one.

Chris Paul kept dribbling, shaking Odom's center of gravity.

Finally found an opportunity and scored using the mid-range shot!

"Oh, this ball David West blocked Chris Paul four times in a row before Paul found the opportunity to beat Odom alone," Daniel said.

Magic shook his head, "This is not a good sign. I feel that the next games for the Hornets may become more and more difficult."

"Why? The goal was scored after all." Daniel said.

"There is no way to explain it to you now. I will explain it to you later based on the situation on the field."

The game continues, back to the Lakers' offensive round.

Lu Yusheng still had the same strategy as before, running to the low post to get the ball.

But this time, Chris Paul obviously thought of a countermeasure and blocked Lu Yusheng from entering the low post to gain position.

But this didn't bother Lu Yusheng, it was just a matter of using cover.

He found Odom, took the initiative to set a screen, and went directly to the low post.

Luke Walton's ball was passed immediately.

Lu Yusheng caught the ball and started to look at all six directions while dribbling the ball.

He noticed that this time, when he started to sit down and beat Paul, the New Orleans Hornets' wing players and inside players subconsciously moved towards him, trying to help defend at any time.

Lu Yusheng was overjoyed, this was exactly what he wanted!

As long as they dare to help defend, there will definitely be teammates in the open position!

Lu Yusheng immediately pushed in. At this time, he could clearly feel that the other teammates of the Hornets had begun to retreat towards him.

But this is far from enough.

Lu Yusheng continued to fight inside, turning back and forth one after another, leaving Paul in a panic.

At this time, Lu Yusheng observed from the corner of his eye that David West and Peja Stojakovic were getting closer and closer to him!

Just need a little more, just a little more!

Lu Yusheng turned around quickly and passed Paul in an instant, blocking him with one hand, preventing him from quickly making up for it!

The next second, Lu Yusheng was close to the basket and could shoot at any time!

He faked a shot!

At this moment, David West and Peja Stojakovic no longer care about so much, and quickly left their defensive players to defend Lu Yusheng!

Lu Yusheng saw the opportunity and hit the ball from a tricky angle to the open Odom!

Odom took off directly, and Tyson Chandler on the inside could only let go of Kwame Brown and take off to defend Odom!

Odom deceived Tyson Chandler with a fake move and passed to Kwame Brown!

An earth-shaking dunk!!

This dunk instantly gave the Lakers momentum!

In the next round of defense, the Lakers' three forces were at full strength and their defensive enthusiasm was extremely high. They did not give the New Orleans Hornets any open opportunities. Chris Paul, who was forced, could only continue to change positions and beat Odom in singles.

This goal was also scored!!

Neither side can limit the other's top players and tactics.

The atmosphere of the game immediately reached a high point! The fans stood up and cheered! Applause was everywhere!

In the next round, Lu Yusheng still received the ball in the low post and played with his back to provide support.

This time, the other players of the New Orleans Hornets were in even more trouble. They felt Lu Yusheng's terrifying passing ability, so they did not dare to step forward to double-team for a while. However, Chris Paul was pushed back by Lu Yusheng and was really unable to stop him.

The advancement of Lu Yusheng.

After hesitating, Lu Yusheng turned around again and scored a jump shot!

"Wow, it seems that Lu Yusheng has completely mastered the technique of hitting Paul in the low post. He didn't even put much effort in scoring this goal," Daniel sighed.

"This is what I just told you, why Lu Yusheng's post in the low post has become a problem for the league. Think about it, even Chris Paul's level of defensive ability is helpless, and other No. 1 positions can

Is there any better way?" the magician said.

In the next round of the Hornets' offensive round, Chris Paul didn't want to misplace Odom in singles, but there was no way. After all, during this period, the Lakers' overall defensive enthusiasm was really high, and he really couldn't find him.

Better opportunities to drive teammates.
