Chapter 213
Author: Can play the harmonica
It wasn't until the ball hit that Lu Yusheng finally reacted.
What did the Zen Master mean by those enigmatic words just now?
He said that the answer is simple. If there is no direct effect, then adopt a plan that you think will cost you the least and bring the most benefit, whether it is now or in the future.
Only now did Lu Yusheng understand that he was referring to Nowitzki's physical problem.
Although Nowitzki was indeed very strong in this game and could do whatever he wanted, the crux of the problem was that the Mavericks obviously relied too much on him.
All tactics basically require Nowitzki's participation. Therefore, although the Lakers may not be able to defend Nowitzki in the front, they will adopt a plan with the greatest benefit. Obviously, choose to let Nowitzki
Nowitzki keeps playing, which is the best plan.
No matter how powerful he is, he will eventually get tired.
This is why the Dallas Mavericks looked a little weird on both offense and defense just now.
Obviously, it was also affected by Nowitzki's physical strength, because Nowitzki felt that he was a little weak, so he told Devin Harris, which led to Devin Harris no longer playing after that.
Going to play pick-and-roll tactics with Nowitzki, obviously, just to let him take a rest.
Nowitzki's physical problems not only affect the offensive tactics, but also have a great impact on the defensive end.
When the Lakers launched a fast break after stealing the ball, Nowitzki, who could quickly return to defense before, could not catch up. Previously, only their center Dampier could not keep up with the defense, but when two players appeared on the field, they could not quickly return to defense.
In this case, the Lakers were beaten into fast breaks one after another.
When it comes to positional battles, due to the influence of Nowitzki's physical strength, when facing the pick-and-roll between Lu Yusheng and Odom, there is no way to switch defenses as before, allowing Nowitzki to directly face Lu Yusheng.
This will only aggravate the loss of his physical strength, so they can only choose to let Devin Harris get around Odom.
Devin Harris is obviously not good at this. He has no knack for bypassing defenses and is too slow to interfere with Lu Yusheng's shooting. Therefore, this is the reason why the Lakers can quickly catch up and take the lead.
The old boy, Zen Master, had long seen the crux of the problem, but he did not tell Lu Yusheng clearly.
In fact, in this situation, Lu Yusheng himself could completely detect it with his basketball IQ, but there was something different tonight, which was why Lu Yusheng did not immediately identify the problem.
Because Lu Yusheng was a little anxious by the opponent's pick-and-roll tactic. After all, this was the tactic that made him feel most helpless in all the games he had played since joining the NBA.
In the past, no matter what tactics the opponent used, Lu Yusheng had a way to solve and deal with it. No matter how difficult it was, he seemed to be able to find a way to deal with it. But today, he felt that all his basketball wisdom seemed to have withered.
Generally speaking, it seems that they can't think of any solution, and they are completely beaten by Nowitzki in various ways.
It seems that being beaten by the opponent continuously will indeed affect your thinking.
As a point guard, what you need most is to be calm and observe the situation on the court. You must not act on impulse and let others influence your mood.
After thinking about this, Lu Yusheng gradually calmed down. What to do was too simple.
In the following time, whether on the offensive or defensive end, he took the initiative to find Nowitzki, hoping to consume his energy faster.
Avery Johnson off the court obviously saw the problem. When he saw Lu Yusheng constantly looking for Nowitzki and consuming his energy, he had no choice but to call a timeout.
There is no tactical arrangement for this timeout, it is purely for Nowitzki to rest.
"Senior, do you think that in the current situation on the court, the Dallas Mavericks are completely at a disadvantage and losing ground? Do you think that during this timeout, Avery Johnson has any magic weapon that he can use to solve the problems on the court?" Ellenza
K said.
"I think they probably don't have anything tactical to come up with." A Smith said sharply, "Think about it, if Avery Johnson still hasn't come up with tactics that can be used against the Lakers,
Then when the Lakers caught up and took the lead, he should have taken it out. Instead of calling it a timeout at this time, when the Lakers already had an absolute advantage, it makes no sense."
"In that case, why does Avery Johnson need to call this timeout again?" Alan Zucker asked.
"Zach, when looking at the problem, you have to look at the essence," A. Smith said, "What do you think is the real reason why the Dallas Mavericks were overtaken by the Lakers and overtook the score?"
Alan Zucker thought for a while and said, "Of course it's because of their mysterious operations on both offense and defense during this period. They ignored such mature tactics and had to change their tactics, but the change in tactics obviously didn't work.
A very good result. The score between the two sides was quite anxious at that time, but they made such an operation again and allowed the Lakers to quickly overtake the score."
"Yes, you are right," A. Smith said, "The reason why they are currently lagging behind and completely passive is indeed because of their tactical changes on both offense and defense. I also thought this change was very strange just now, so
I just said that we need to take a closer look at the reasons for their changes, but in the past two rounds, I can see what is going on."
"What's going on?" Alan Zucker asked.
"The reason is actually very simple. It's because the core of the Dallas Mavericks' tactics, Nowitzki, is a little tired," A. Smith said.
"tired?"
"Of course, if you think about it, in this game, except for the second quarter of the first half, when Avery Johnson asked Nowitzki to rest for a long time, did you remember him afterwards?
Haven’t you had much rest?”
"Well, when you say that, it seems true."
"Yes, that's the reason," A Smith said, "He played too long tonight, and basically the tactics on both offense and defense are based around him. What is Nowitzki's biggest shortcoming?
Since then, it has actually been a matter of physical strength that has always been criticized by others. The physical issue is the reason why he has been criticized as being 'soft' by others, because in the end, no matter who he is, as long as he has no physical strength, he will inevitably become weak."
"If that's the case, I don't understand why their head coach Avery Johnson doesn't think of ways to let Nowitzki rest for a while?" Alan Zucker said, "Since it's clear that Nowitzki's last minute
"The importance of physical strength, why didn't he let Nowitzki rest in advance to relieve his physical strength and let him play in the last moment?" Alan Zucker asked.
A Smith smiled slightly and said, "This question is actually very simple. Avery Johnson is not aware of this problem. In fact, as the head coach, he knows better than anyone what Nowitzki's problem will do to the team."
He actually tried to do this before, but this experiment failed."
"Failed?"
"Yes, I remember that in the middle of the third quarter, Avery Johnson tried to let Nowitzki take a rest, but what happened at that time? Lu Yusheng led the Lakers to quickly close the point difference by nearly ten points.
And it only took a short time, so this led to it. Not long after Nowitzki came off the court, he was quickly replaced by Avery Johnson, and he didn't have any time to rest at all."
A Smith said, "In order to allow Nowitzki to play at critical moments, we must find ways to conserve his energy and let him play at decisive moments. There is certainly nothing wrong with this idea, but the problem is that you must ensure that there is no problem in the game.
After being defeated, the two sides remained in a stalemate until the last moment, but if it's like this, the game is defeated by Lu Yusheng as soon as Nowitzki leaves, then what's the decisive moment?"
"So, you think Avery Johnson has no choice but to keep Nowitzki on the court?"
"Yes, I guess Avery Johnson must be thinking like this. He saw that Nowitzki was very hot tonight, so he might as well let him play more on the court, maybe when they are defensively tight at a certain stage.
After getting up, you can take away the Lakers in one wave.
But what he never expected was that they had no chance to take away the Lakers in one wave. Nowitzki's touch was indeed very hot, but the Lakers didn't make much concessions. Under the leadership of Lu Yusheng
, The pick-and-roll tactics were well played, so the score has not been opened for a long time, which also resulted in Nowitzki having no choice but to stay on the court, but these are two bottles of poison. If you let him off the court to rest,
The Lakers will beat you, and if you don't let him take a rest, at the last moment, he will have no physical strength.
Therefore, Avery Johnson must have bet that Lakers Lu Yusheng's physical strength may also be exhausted, and when Lu Yusheng comes off the court to rest, he will let Nowitzki come off the court to rest too. Because in essence, tonight's game
Game, the Los Angeles Lakers and the Dallas Mavericks are in exactly the same situation."
"Oh? That situation?" Alan Zucker asked.
"The other tactics of both teams failed tonight. The Dallas Mavericks' Princeton tactics, Dampier's tactics of stepping forward to screen, and Devin Harris' tactics of using his personal ability to break through and lead his teammates, all of them failed tonight.
It failed, because the two sides did do in-depth research before the game, so their tactics were very targeted to each other. The same is true for the Lakers. Their other tactics tonight failed. After Avery Johnson's various changes
Lu Yusheng couldn't think of a better offensive tactic amid the moves and formation changes.
Both sides only have one pick-and-roll tactic, which makes it impossible for the other side to crack it. People who often watch their games must understand that this is also the trump card tactic of their two teams this season, so in this case, the score between the two sides will be anxious.
It will be difficult to separate, because neither side can solve the other side's trump card tactics.
So in this case, how can we determine the outcome? It is very simple, it is a matter of physical strength of both parties. When one party has physical problems, this tactic will obviously be self-defeating. And obviously,
The Dallas Mavericks had problems with their physical strength first. Of course, this was completely expected. First of all, Nowitzki's physical strength has not been very good. Secondly, he is a big man and he has been playing various roles tonight.
The core of the tactics, various singles with the ball, in this case, the physical strength is definitely difficult to support.
The Lakers are different. Their tactical core, Lu Yusheng, is younger. He is just a rookie. Moreover, relatively speaking, the small player has obviously more physical strength. You see, when he was on the court, he also discovered the strength of the Dallas Mavericks.
When there was a problem, he was very smart and started to continuously attack Nowitzki and continue to consume Nowitzki's physical strength, but he himself obviously could not show fatigue."
"So in other words, from the timeout in the second half, the ending of this game is basically decided?" Alan Zak said.
"Yes, it was that timeout. Within two minutes after Avery Johnson replaced Nowitzki, Lu Yusheng led the Lakers to chase ten points in a row. This was obviously what Avery Johnson was moved and afraid of, so
I think when he called the timeout again and replaced Nowitzki, he probably already knew the outcome of this game."
"No wonder, when the Dallas Mavericks were overtaken by the Lakers and took the lead, Avery Johnson was not in a hurry to call a timeout. It turned out that he already knew the result."
"Of course, even though I say that, I still hope that the Mavericks can regroup during this timeout. They did play well tonight. This is the first time I have seen a team this season.
They can force Lu Yusheng to be so helpless. They are playing really well. This is the true level of the team that reached the finals last year. Unfortunately, they are facing a monster like Lu Yusheng, so I think this
Even if they lose a game, there is a high probability that Avery Johnson and Nowitzki will be convinced."
"It's really scary. They only lost one game this season, and they defeated last year's finals team in a row, especially in the game against the Mavericks. Kobe only played for a short time, and Lu Yusheng was the one who led the way.
The team is indeed frighteningly strong. It seems that they really have a chance to win the championship this season."
A Smith smiled slightly and said nothing. He looked at Lu Yusheng's figure on the field and said slowly, "We are witnessing a new legend."
On the court, the Dallas Mavericks still had no way to solve their problems after this timeout, while the Lakers continued to attack Nowitzki, making him exhausted. In the end, the Dallas Mavericks lost to the Los Angeles Lakers 92:106 at home.
Team.
