Chapter 54 [Still stubborn]
Author: Can play the harmonica
The Suns continue to attack!
After Nash dribbled the ball through half court, Marion still brought him up to pick and roll him.
Luke Walton hurriedly followed!
After the pick-and-roll, Lu Yusheng thought Luke Walton would step forward to delay Nash as they had discussed in advance, and then immediately return to defend Marion.
So he was just preparing to defend Nash.
Unexpectedly, Walton did not step forward to delay, but still followed the tactics formulated before the game to double-team Nash.
As a result, there was a huge gap in their defense!
This is a bad defensive mistake!
For a point guard like Steve Nash, this opportunity is absolutely impossible to let go!
During the dribble, with an understatement, the ball was passed directly to Marion's hands!
Marion stood up in three steps, faced Bynum's defense, and set fire to the sky!
The basketball flew over Bynum's head and hit the basket!
In the last round, the Lakers' offense had just improved a bit, and their morale had just eased. They never expected that the Suns would hit them so easily. This kind of EAZY BALL really hurt morale.
Before Vince Kane could speak, Isiah Thomas said, "You see, the Lakers have absolutely no way to defeat the Suns' pick-and-roll tactics."
"Yes, the Lakers made it too easy for the Suns to play the ball just now. It was as easy as a pick-and-roll training." Vince Kane also said.
"The defense played by Lu and Walton just now was simply a disaster. This was a serious defensive mistake. I have said before that when Smushparker was on the court, although it was difficult to restrict Nash, it has never happened before.
Such a mistake, Lu is just a rookie after all, and this substitution of Zen Master is obviously open to question." Isiah Thomas insisted on his point of view.
Lakers serve.
Lu Yusheng asked Luke Walton with some confusion, "Luke, why don't you follow the tactics we discussed?"
Luke Walton was also a little unhappy. He spread his hands and said, "Please, our original tactic was to double-team. I don't know what on earth you are going to do?"
"But our double-teaming tactics can't restrict Nash at all," Lu Yusheng said. "The first half of the game is almost over. Our double-teaming didn't take effect at all. He still activated the whole team. We should make some adjustments appropriately."
and change.”
"That's the coach's business. Remember, you are just a rookie, Lu. You have no right to command us. Each of us is more experienced than you!" Luke Walton shouted.
Lu Yusheng understood that the reason Luke Walton didn't listen to him was because he felt that as a senior, he was being directed by a rookie, which hurt his self-esteem.
"No, Luke, I don't want to command any of you. You are all my seniors. If what I just said offended you, I can apologize to you, but I purely just want to win. Everything I want to do.
, are purely tactical tests.”
Lu Yusheng said sincerely.
Luke Walton shook his head and said nothing more.
Lu Yusheng dribbled the ball and advanced to the frontcourt.
Luke Walton subconsciously went to the low post to ask for the ball, but Lu Yusheng still waved for Bynum to bring him up to set a pick-and-roll for him.
Luke Walton had no choice but to give up and pull out of the three-point line, leaving space for Lu Yusheng.
Bynum used his big and generous body to completely block Nash behind him!
The quality of this pick-and-roll is even higher than that of Luke Walton!
Bynum immediately went down to the basket!
Stoudemire and Nash quickly double-teamed Lu Yusheng, targeting Lu Yusheng's passing route to Bynum!
Bynum is unguarded, and the opportunity is still available in an instant!
But it's not that easy to pass the ball.
Stoudemire used his excellent athletic ability and wingspan, combined with Nash, and the two of them were like a big net, completely covering Lu Yusheng!
Nash wanted to test Lu Yusheng's quality again, so he pressed forward with more intensity!
If Lu Yusheng didn't pass this ball, he would probably make a mistake.
However, he basically had no route and passed it to the unguarded Bynum!
Wharton was worried that Lu Yusheng might make a mistake and hurriedly wanted to step forward to respond.
But at this moment,
Snapped!
While Lu Yusheng was dribbling backward to avoid interference, his wrist suddenly shook!
Instant ball!
This ball still hits the ground!
It went right through Stoudemire's crotch!
It fell accurately into the hands of Bynum!
WOW!!!
There was a burst of exclamation from the whole audience!
Just now they saw that Lu Yusheng was double-teamed and had almost no room to shoot the ball, so they thought that there was a high probability that the ball would be missed.
But no one expected that Lu Yusheng would pass the ball in such a clever way!
Bynum received the ball and cut into the basket, then stood up and dunked!
But Laga Bell, who was on defense, didn't give him this chance at all. He pulled Bynum out of the air!
Whistle!
penalty!
Although this goal was not directly scored, it could not add an assist to Lu Yusheng's statistics.
But in these two offensive rounds of the Lakers, Lu Yusheng's two imaginative passes still ignited the emotions of the home fans!
They were already looking down on the outcome of this game, but because of Lu Yusheng's appearance, they seemed to have begun to have hope for this game again!
In fact, they may no longer simply value the result of this game. They seem to be expecting that this rookie can bring them more surprises!
An emotion of expectation is quietly brewing and fermenting in the Staples Center...
Bynum stepped to the free throw line.
Taking advantage of this gap, commentator Vince Kane said, "Thomas, I had the same point of view as you at the beginning. I thought that the rookie of the Lakers could not shoulder the heavy responsibility given to him by Jackson. But after these two rounds, I have to
I don’t admit it, but my opinion may have changed. Thomas, if he passed the ball first, there might be an element of luck, but he has already passed two passes in a row. I think it may not be as simple as luck.
, what do you think?"
"No, no, no," Isiah Thomas said with a smile, "I still stick to my point of view. In that round just now, Stoudemire's defense was too bad. His steps were too wide. In this situation
Well, any NBA-level guard can pass this kind of ball."
"Oh, Thomas, although you are a historical point guard, but now, I have to say, I am still full of expectations for this Lakers rookie. I think the Lakers fans here probably have the same expectations as me at this moment.
Feeling."
Thomas smiled and shook his head, "Kane, it's too early for you to change your mind now. Just rush into his poor defense just now and let the Suns score so easily. He will definitely not be the kind of point guard who can change the game."
Bynum missed a free throw.
Nash walked up to Stoudemire and whispered, "Next time they pick and roll, no more flanking, we'll just switch defenses."
He then said to Diaw on the side, "Diaw, remember, after we switch defenses, we have to rotate defenses."
Dio nodded and turned his attention to Stoudemire. The two looked at each other and saw some surprise in each other's eyes.
Nash actually changed his defensive tactics because of that Lakers rookie?
