Chapter 58 [The Sun’s Tactical Loophole]

Intermission.

Lakers locker room.

The final score of the first half was settled at 52:40

The Lakers trailed by twelve points.

Everyone thought that the Zen Master would adjust his tactics during the halftime break.

After all, in the first half, Jackson basically did not take the initiative to make any tactical adjustments. Everyone made their own adjustments on the court.

But what surprised everyone was that the Zen Master did not make any tactical adjustments during the halftime break.

"Guys, you did a good job in the first half. You played very hard and very actively. You continued to play like this in the second half. You made clear judgments on the Suns' tactics on the court. This is very good. Keep up the hard work.

!”

Lu Yusheng was stunned. Although he didn't specify it directly, he could tell that the Zen master seemed to approve of the tactical adjustments he made on the court.

Smash Parker quit and asked Zen Master directly, "Coach, I really want to know why I am not allowed to play during my rotation time?"

Zen Master's eyes were calm, "Parker, listen, I told you before the game started that because it is related to the renewal of the team's broadcast contract, the management has higher requirements for our team's record this year. The regular season must be at least

To reach 50 wins, the playoffs must reach at least the Western Conference semifinals..."

"Does this have anything to do with my rotation time? Did I play poorly in the first half? I also played very hard."

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and everyone looked at the Zen Master.

"Listen to what I have to say. I believe you know better than me what fifty wins in the regular season means. Therefore, we must do whatever it takes to win every regular season game. Therefore, in order to win, we will use our

Every team we encounter determines everyone's playing time based on different tactics."

The Zen master continued to emphasize, "This has nothing to do with which of you is better or worse. It is purely based on adjusting the opponent's tactics. Our goal is just to win. If we can win, it will be no problem even if I am allowed to play in the game, so

,Everyone must follow the arrangements of the coaching staff, have I made it clear enough?"

Although Sima Shipa was dissatisfied, the Zen master stopped talking and said nothing more.

After all, as the league's highest-paid head coach, Jackson's status with the Lakers is not something that Marsh Parker can compete with.

But after all, I felt uncomfortable. In the first game of the new season, my rotation time was replaced by a rookie, and I really couldn't save my face.

The atmosphere in the locker room was very delicate for a while.

Odom, Turiaf, and Tony Hans had a very good relationship with Smash Parker, so they naturally felt resentful for Parker.

And people like Luke Walton, Aaron McGee, and La Manovich were not very happy, but it was not because of their good relationship with Smash Parker, but simply because they had been appointed by the Zen Master before.

With a heavy responsibility, he is an important organizer of the team's tactics.

But now, Lu Yusheng, a rookie, changes tactics at will on the court, but Master Zen turns a blind eye and encourages him instead. Naturally, they feel a little uncomfortable.

Although they did not express these emotions, Lu Yusheng felt them all.

Tremendous stress!

In the second half, he must do better to be worthy of Zen Master's trust.

It's best to win this game.

The atmosphere in the Suns' locker room was much more pleasant.

After all, they were already far ahead in the first half before they even used their full strength.

The current Lakers, in their eyes, are no match at all.

Therefore, during the halftime break, Stoudemar led them to happily chat about some interesting things that had nothing to do with the game, making everyone laugh and laugh.

Only Nash and head coach Mike D'Antoni were whispering something on the side.

And the two of them were not discussing tactics.

"Mike, I think you can suggest to the management that Steve Kerr (then general manager of the Suns) has been trying to find a substitute for me. I think this kid can do it. He reacts quickly and is very knowledgeable about tactics.

His insight ability is also very strong, and I think he has great potential. Before he can play, maybe we can get him from the Lakers at a small price," Nash said.

"No, no, no, Nash, we can't decide to sign a player just because of halftime. Everyone will have their highlight moments. Besides, he is still a rookie and cannot be traded in a short time."

"But if he waits until he plays, will the Lakers still let him go?"

"There is no way, Nash, I completely believe in your vision, but the NBA is a business after all. Since it is a business, we must pay attention to the rules of the business. The team management will not decide to fight for a game just because of a game.

For a player, especially a rookie, there are too many uncertainties," D'Antoni said.

Nash nodded, with some regret in his eyes.

The Suns have indeed been looking for a substitute for Nash, because the organizational skills and tactical understanding of Brazilian Lightning Barbosa are really poor, which caused the Suns' offense to become a mess after Nash left the field.

The depth of the bench lineup has been strengthened this year, but without a good engine to lead it, it may still be difficult to show its due strength.

Although he and Lu Yusheng only played against each other for a few rounds, as a historical point guard, he still keenly captured the spirituality of Lu Yusheng. This spirituality is very important for a point guard.

It's precious, Nash thinks, and many famous point guards he has played against don't have it either.

If Lu Yusheng can be brought to the Suns to serve as his substitute, then the substitute lineup will no longer be a shortcoming of the Suns.

Therefore, although D'Antoni rejected his idea, he did not give up.

He decided to discuss the matter with team general manager Steve Kerr when he went back.

…

The second half of the game begins.

At this point, the team will generally still use the main lineup to play.

Probably in order to eliminate Smash Parker's resentment, the Zen master replaced Lu Yusheng with Smash Parker.

Lu Yusheng didn't complain about this, because there were still some things he didn't understand about the Sun's tactics.

It's not a bad idea to stay off the court and observe and figure out how to crack the tactics.

Lakers offense.

Lu Yusheng was not on the court, and the Lakers did not play the triangle offense. After all, this tactic was completely restricted in the first half.

Smash Parker imitated Lu Yusheng and asked Bynum to come up and play pick-and-roll tactics with him.

However, the Suns' rotation did not give them any chance at all. This time the tactics were still defeated. In the end, Bynum reluctantly ended the game with a mid-range shot that he was not good at.

In the Lakers' second offensive round, this pick-and-roll tactic still failed.

Lu Yusheng saw it in the audience and was worried about it!

He knew in his heart that if this rhythm continued, the game would inevitably be lost. There was only a little more than one quarter left. Whether he could catch up with the score or not, the key to winning the game was whether he could destroy the Suns' defensive rotation!

But what are the weaknesses of the Suns' defensive rotation system?

When the Lakers used the pick-and-roll again in the next round, Lu Yusheng carefully observed the rotation of the Suns.

Suddenly his eyes lit up!

I was so excited that I almost stood up from my seat!

That’s right! That’s right!

Although their rotation defense seems airtight, in fact, there is still a loophole!!

Although, this vulnerability is very hidden!
