Chapter 212 Epiphany(1/2)
Author: Can play the harmonica
When the game between the Lakers and the Mavericks entered the final quarter, both sides were still anxious.
In this round, when Nowitzki and Devin Harris were picking and rolling again, Lu Yusheng didn't know what to do for a while.
But Odom has already switched defense, so Lu Yusheng can only choose to switch defense.
Lu Yusheng faced Nowitzki. Although he was a little desperate, he still tried to cheer up and continued to defend.
This time, Nowitzki deceived Lu Yusheng with a fake move and then made a fadeaway jumper.
Lu Yusheng tried his best to jump up and interfere. Although he knew that his interference would have little impact on Nowitzki, he still tried his best to jump up and interfere.
But this time, Nowitzki didn't make the shot. The ball was short, crashed on the edge of the basket, and bounced out!
Lu Yusheng was ready to serve, but he didn't expect the ball to go in. He couldn't help but be overjoyed and rushed over to grab the rebound!
It just so happened that the ball really crashed in the direction of Lu Yusheng. Others could not reach it, and Lu Yusheng picked up a rebound in vain!
Lu Yusheng holds the ball and directly launches a fast break!
Other Lakers teammates get off quickly!
Lu Yusheng dribbled the ball while looking at the six directions.
It has to be said that the forwards of the Dallas Mavericks are still very fast in returning to defense. Devin Harris, Jason Terry, and Josh Howard are still very fast in returning to defense.
Therefore, Lu Yusheng did not find a better opportunity to pass the ball for a while.
But when he noticed that Vujacic had already made a three-pointer to the right corner, he immediately moved in the opposite direction of Vujacic, started dribbling from the left, and passed Jason Terry with a fake move, instantly attracting everyone.
attention.
At this time, everyone on the Dallas Mavericks thought he was going for a layup or passing the ball to Luke Walton on the left wing!
Therefore, the defensive encirclement quickly moved towards Lu Yuyu and Luke Walton!
Lu Yusheng faked a layup!
Devin Harris and Josh Howard immediately jumped to block the shot!
But Lu Yusheng suddenly retracted the ball and swung it directly behind his back towards Vujacic in the right corner!
The Dallas Mavericks couldn't help but be surprised, but it was too late. There was no one in front of Vujacic and he made a three-point jumper!
Score in!
89:89!
The Lakers tied the score!
"Wow, Lu Yusheng's handling of this fast break was really beautiful. He dribbled the ball directly to the left, and then broke through Jason Terry, attracting the attention of the Dallas players, and then he did it without anyone noticing.
I found Vujacic who was already lurking in the bottom corner, and this key three-pointer directly tied the score!" Alan Zak said.
"The ball was passed beautifully, but it was mainly because the Mavericks' defense efficiency was not as high as before," A. Smith said.
"That's not right," Eluzak said, "I feel like their defense just now, Devin Harris, Jason Terry, and Josh Howard, was pretty quick. This prevented the Lakers from directly forming a
A layup."
"No, no, no, I'm talking about the efficiency of return defense, which is not as high as before." A Smith said, "Think about it, when the Lakers launched a fast break before, the Dallas Mavericks' return defense was at least four players.
, the speed is very fast, but in the round of defense just now, only three people returned to defend, and Nowitzki and Dampier did not return to defend at all. If one of them had returned to defend, the ball would never be open."
"Oh, from what you said, it seems true." Alan Zak said, "But it's normal. In the fourth quarter, the physical strength of the big men will indeed be insufficient."
On the court, the Dallas Mavericks have the ball.
Devin Harris dribbled the ball past half court, and the Lakers were ready, especially Lu Yusheng, who was ready to defend their pick-and-roll. But this time, what surprised Lu Yusheng was that Nowitzki did not step forward.
Screen for Devin Harris.
Devin Harris handed the ball directly to Josh Howard and asked him to start supporting.
Other teammates began to cover each other and move.
They don't play pick-and-roll anymore?
Why?
Lu Yusheng didn't understand for a moment. Just because he didn't score a single goal just now, he stopped playing?
Of course, he couldn't think about it now.
"Switch defense when you encounter cover!" Lu Yusheng shouted.
At this time, you must not give the opponent a chance to cover an open shot.
Even if you give the opponent a misplaced single, you must not give the opponent an open opportunity.
Under Lu Yusheng's defense switching strategy, other Dallas Mavericks teammates had no chance to cover the open space and could only hand the ball back to Nowitzki and let him play Odom alone.
Odom hasn't faced Nowitzki head-on for a long time, so this time he was extra serious about defending Nowitzki.
But what he didn't expect was that Nowitzki passed the ball directly.
Passed to center Dampier inside.
Dampier was also stunned for a moment. At this time, the attack time was running out, and he could only play Kwame Brown alone.
However, Dampier hasn't had the ball in this game for a long time, so he is somewhat rusty on the offensive end.
After carrying Kwame Brown for a few times, he found that Kwame Brown's strength was not inferior to him at all, so he had no choice but to attack head-on and shoot with a hook!
But Kwame Brown's bounce and wingspan obviously interfered with him. The ball was short. Kwame Brown directly grabbed the rebound and handed it to Lu Yusheng!
Lu Yusheng dribbled the ball past half court.
Still ask Odom to come out and play pick-and-roll tactics.
This time the Dallas Mavericks did not adopt a defense switching strategy, but asked Devin Harris to go around Odom from behind.
But the speed of Devin Harris's defense is much worse than that of Chris Paul, and it is not as fast as Paul at all.
A vacant seat soon appeared in front of Lu Yusheng!
Naturally, Lu Yusheng would not miss this opportunity.
He reaches the second level and shoots with open hands!
Score in!
Lu Yusheng felt that the strategy of the Dallas Mavericks in the past few rounds made him feel a little weird and abnormal. After all, they had been playing smoothly on both the offensive and defensive ends before. Why did they suddenly change their strategy?
Just because a goal was not scored, change the entire strategy?
Isn’t this too unreasonable?
Lu Yusheng somewhat doubted whether they were causing trouble and holding back their ultimate move.
In the next round, it was the Dallas Mavericks' turn to attack.
After Devin Harris dribbled the ball past half court, it was still handed over to Josh Howard for support, and they still didn't use the pick-and-roll tactics they had just played so well.
But in this case, Lu Yusheng was unambiguous and directly ordered his teammates to switch defenses when encountering pick-and-rolls like just now. Under this kind of defense, the Dallas Mavericks still couldn't find any space.
In the end, the tactics failed, and they had no choice but to hand it over to Dampier for singles. But this time, Dampier obviously didn't have much confidence in his singles, and passed the ball directly to Devin Harris outside.
Devin Harris took a look at the attack time, and it was obvious that there was not much time left. He had no way to organize an attack and could only attack Lu Yusheng alone.
But Lu Yusheng was basically very experienced in defending him before. Therefore, this time when he faced Devin Harris, Lu Yusheng was obviously weak, but Devin Harris was obviously a little weak. After all, fighting against Devin Harris was obviously a bit weak.
After playing a whole game, he obviously still hasn't found a way to break through and defeat Lu Yusheng.
This guy's defense is a bit strong.
But at this time, he had no choice but to dribble the ball and start playing.
Lu Yusheng put up a defensive stance.
The home fans of the Dallas Mavericks couldn't help but start cheering for Devin Harris when they saw the duel between the two openers.
But come on, come on, Devin Harris still didn't take any advantage in front of Lu Yusheng this time. His easy breakthroughs in the past had no effect at all. Lu Yusheng predicted the direction of his breakthrough several times, and once again
Devin Harris, who almost stole the ball and was forced to do so, had no choice but to shoot hastily.
This ball was a direct hit and went out of bounds.
Seeing this situation, the home fans who originally cheered for Devin Harris instantly turned into boos.
Devin Harris wiped his sweat silently, with a look of helplessness on his face.
Nowitzki came over, patted Devin Harris on the shoulder, and said, "It doesn't matter. Next round, let's play pick-and-roll. After all, they can't guard against our pick-and-roll."
Devin Harris was stunned, looked at Nowitzki, and finally nodded.
"Oh, Devin Harris's goal was criticized by the home fans." Alan Zucker said with a smile, "It seems that the home fans can't bear to see him playing randomly."
"You're wrong, Zach. The reason why Devin Harris was booed on this goal was not because the fans thought he was playing randomly. Although he did play randomly before, after the halftime break, he was probably scolded by the head coach.
So he behaved normally and did not fight randomly. He was booed by everyone just now simply because he lost the duel with Lu Yusheng and Lu Yusheng defended him and threw an air ball."
A Smith said.
