Author: Can play the harmonica

The whistle blows and the fourth quarter officially begins!

Lakers possession.

Lu Yusheng dribbled the ball past half court. This time, he did not go directly to the low post, but called Luke Walton to come up and play a pick-and-roll tactic for him.

The Hornets were a bit confused for a while, no longer playing in the low post?

They had just listened attentively to Byron Scott's lecture for a long time on the tactics of defending Lu Yusheng's low post play. Everyone knew that if there was no way to break the Lakers' low post tactics, it would be difficult to win this game.

Therefore, everyone listened attentively and worked hard to give the Lakers a blow.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they came up, the Lakers would start a pick-and-roll tactic...

This caught them somewhat off guard, so they were a little confused for a while.

He didn't choose to defend from behind, but double-teamed Lu Yusheng!

Lu Yusheng was overjoyed, this was what he wanted most.

Dribbling backwards, looking for an opportunity, he made a wonderful pass directly to Luke Walton!

Luke Walton was unguarded and made an open shot!

70:64!

"This ball... I don't understand the New Orleans Hornets' defense very well. I already know that Lu Yusheng has excellent double-teaming ability, why do I have to double-team him? When the Lakers used to pick and roll, they never adopted a bypassing method.

Defend later, the effect has always been pretty good, why do we need to change our strategy temporarily?" Daniel asked confused.

Magic laughed, "The reason is actually very simple. New Orleans was a little panicked. They were thrown into confusion by Lu Yusheng. This situation is actually very common for athletes. When the opponent keeps scoring, and you

When your defense fails, you will indeed become panicked, and the tactics you originally planned in your mind will not be so clear."

"Oh, this is not a good sign." Daniel said, "Now the two sides have just entered the decisive moment, the real wrestling time. If you panic now, this game will not be easy to win."

"No, Daniel, the Hornets' troubles don't start from now on. In fact, starting from the second half, the Hornets' situation will not be good," Magic said. "I told you, if they don't have a way to solve this problem, they will

The game will become very difficult, and the current situation is just a continuation of that situation."

"Then what do you think the Hornets should do now? After all, this is a very important game for them. It is related to the number one ranking in the Western Conference, so they can't let it go so easily, right?" Daniel said.

"This is not something they can decide, Daniel. When they mess up their position and can't even defend the Lakers' pick-and-roll tactics, I think there won't be much suspense in this game," Magic said.

"I still have some expectations for the New Orleans Hornets," Daniel said. "I have watched their games this season. They are really strong this season. I really don't want to see them lose the game like this."

"What does this look like?"

"I mean, losing the game like this is really a bit useless, and it feels a bit helpless. For a strong team, I think it is a bit difficult to accept for both the coach and the players," Daniel said.

.

"There is no way." Magic said, "As I told you, Lu Yusheng's style of play is not just a simple tactic, it is a creative tactic that will change the ecological pattern of the NBA league.

It can’t be dealt with in one or two strikes.”

Back on the court, the Hornets used Chris Paul's single in their offensive round and barely scored one from Odom.

"You see, although the goal was scored, this is definitely the way Byron Scott and Chris Paul least want to see scoring, because the team is now completely stagnant and has no tactics to speak of. Playing like this

, even if they score, the Lakers are not afraid." Magic said.

"Yes, and judging from the goal just now, although it was scored, it was actually very reluctant. We can clearly feel that Chris Paul is a little tired," Daniel said, "It's really not an option to continue like this.

, but there is no good way. If we don’t score again and the Lakers widen the point difference, it will be even harder to beat. Oh, it’s so confusing..."

Back to the Lakers offensive possession.

After Lu Yusheng dribbled the ball past half court, the Hornets thought he was going to use a pick-and-roll strategy and immediately took position.

But unexpectedly, this time, Lu Yusheng handed the ball directly to Luke Walton and then started running.

Hornets:…

Still not playing low?

Luke Walton took the ball and started to respond near the free throw line.

"Oh, this time, the Lakers still don't seem to let Lu Yusheng play in the low post," Daniel said. "Now they seem to have returned to the original tactics, letting Luke Walton provide support in the low post, while Lu Yusheng and other teammates move.

, this is a standard triangle offense."

"I guess this must be Lu Yusheng's idea." Magic laughed, "This is a psychological game. He knows very well that the New Orleans Hornets' timeout is to target his low post singles, and this time, the Hornets

The whole team will definitely go all out to implement the tactics resolutely. In response to Lu Yusheng's low singles, for two consecutive rounds, they just don't play according to what you want, they just use other tactics. In this way, the Hornets

If you don't have enough energy, you won't be able to exert it, and by the time you really want to use it again, the momentum will be gone."

"Ah? Is there such a psychological game?"

"Yes, top athletes will all have this kind of psychological game, especially the top players of our team. This is very common. When you use the same tactic to play smoothly, the opponent will take the first ball after a timeout.

, I will definitely go all out to target this point of yours, but at this time, you must avoid its edge and let them have nowhere to use their energy. Not only me, Michael, Kobe, they will definitely deal with it this way."

On the court, when the Lakers started to play the triangle offense, the New Orleans Hornets were still in a state of confusion. Their defense was a little confused for a while, and there was no communication between teammates. Some people wanted to double-team, and some wanted to double-team.

It was necessary to defend alone, but during hesitation, Lu Yusheng covered Vujacic and created an open position!

Luke Walton's pass was given immediately, and Vujacic opened his hand and hit a three-pointer!

Score in!!

At this time, the momentum of the New Orleans home fans was obviously sluggish, and they could clearly feel the gap between the two teams' status.

Back to the New Orleans Hornets offense.

After Chris Paul dribbled the ball past half court, he tried to use the pick-and-roll to organize tactics, but the Lakers' defense was quite active. After struggling for a long time, they still couldn't find an opportunity.

In the end, it was Chris Paul who trained Odom in the military.

This time, Lu Yusheng didn't even try to help defend. After all, in the round just now, he could clearly feel that Chris Paul's singles was a bit difficult. He was a little tired, and the goal was barely scored. This goal was even more difficult.

Needless to say.

Chris Paul dribbled the ball quickly in an attempt to break through Odom's defense. Odom lowered his center of gravity and moved quickly. Chris Paul's two breakthroughs were unexpectedly predicted by Odom and prevented.

"Chris Paul is really a little tired. His steps are obviously slower and his explosiveness is obviously not that high." Daniel said, "This is really not a good sign for the New Orleans Hornets."

On the court, Chris Paul made three consecutive breakthroughs, but was blocked by Odom. Finally, on the fourth try, he got a little space away from Odom and hurriedly shot a jumper!

But this little space didn't matter to Odom, who was tall and long-armed. He jumped directly to block the shot!

"This ball is missing! Grab the rebound!" Lu Yusheng shouted!

Lu Yusheng could clearly feel that on this shot, because Chris Paul did not completely throw away Odom, Odom only lost a little bit of his center of gravity, so Odom's defense completely interfered with Chris Paul's

Shooting, forcing him to take action early.

But what Lu Yusheng didn't expect was that the goal was still scored!

And it’s still hollow!

Lu Yusheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this guy's singles ability is really incredible!

He can actually score such a difficult jump shot!

The home fans of the New Orleans Hornets also became excited because of Chris Paul's difficult one-on-one goal!

The home court that had been beaten by the Lakers just now was completely silent, and now there was finally some sound.

But the excitement didn't last long. When it came to the Lakers' offensive round, they still used the triangle offensive tactic, and they quickly got a chance and scored easily!

"Although the Hornets used Chris Paul's super singles ability to reduce the score in these rounds, I feel that their defense has completely dropped several levels. I remember when this game just started,

When Lu Yusheng didn't play, they just played the triangle offense, which is still the case now. Luke Walton was holding the ball in that position to provide support.

But at that time, the New Orleans Hornets defended very methodically, making it impossible for them to run the triangle offense. But now, the Lakers still use the same tactics from the beginning, but it seems that they can't defend at all," Daniel said.

"Yes, although I thought New Orleans did not have much chance in this game, I did not expect that they collapsed so quickly and even lost their most basic defense." Magic said, "At this time, Byron

Scott really should have called a timeout, otherwise, if this continues, the game will be an ugly loss."

Just as Magic expected, the New Orleans Hornets immediately called a timeout.

"What are you doing?!" Byron Scott was very angry, "We have arranged their triangle offense before, why did you make such an outrageous defense??!!"

The players of the New Orleans Hornets were silent. They all knew that this was indeed their problem, but they themselves didn't know why the fight had reached this point.

Chris Paul gritted his teeth and said, "Coach, don't blame them, it's my responsibility."

"This is not anyone's responsibility." Byron Scott said angrily, "I have always emphasized that the team's defense is a whole, a team. If you want to defend well, you must devote all your attention and energy.

, what about the defensive tacit understanding we formed before? Why are we even losing these things that we are proud of? "

Seeing that everyone was silent, Byron Scott put away his temper, calmed down his emotions, and then said slowly, "You can lose the game. We have achieved such a good record before. There is nothing good about losing a regular season game."

Worried, we can afford to lose, but the problem is, we absolutely cannot lose this game in such a way. This is something I cannot accept. We can even win against a team like the Spurs. Why? Isn’t it just because of us?

Has the defense been proud of this season? What happened now? I hope you can cheer up and play to the level we deserve!"

The timeout ends and the game continues.

New Orleans Hornets ball rights.
