NBA: I really just want to be a second-in-command

Chapter 90 [Signboard action! 】

7:30 Los Angeles time.

With a whistle, the game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Seattle SuperSonics officially began!
The starting lineup sent by the Seattle SuperSonics is: center: Mohammed Heaney, power forward: Chris Wilcox, small forward: Rashad Lewis, shooting guard: Ray Allen, point guard: Luke - Ridnor.

The starting lineup of the Lakers, center: Andrew Bynum, power forward: Odom, small forward: Luke Walton, shooting guard: Kobe Bryant, point guard: Smush Parker.

Basically, there is not much change, the only change is the position of shooting guard, which has become the much-anticipated Kobe Bryant.

As for Lu Yusheng, even though everyone knew that he had to completely suppress Smash Parker, even though everyone expected Lu Yusheng to be in the starting lineup, Zen Master still let Parker be the starting lineup.

Of course, for Lu Yusheng himself, not only did he not complain about it, but he thought it was a good decision.

After all, Smush Parker is just a fake starter. In the end, it is Lu Yusheng who really solves the problem and fights with the opponent's main lineup.

Therefore, in the first half of the first quarter, Lu Yusheng sat off the court and could carefully observe the tactics of the opponent's main lineup and the characteristics of their respective players.

And they can figure out how to crack their tactics off the field, and when they go on the field, they will be a little more sure.

For Lu Yusheng, this was actually an advantage.

After the game started, it was the Lakers' offensive round first.

After Smush Parker dribbled the ball halfway, he handed the ball to Luke Walton, who was already at the free throw line.

With Lu Yusheng not on the court, they naturally went to play the triangle offense they are familiar with.

Rashard Lewis, who is responsible for defending Walton, has had some knee problems throughout his career, so he is not good at defense.

But Luke Walton's own offensive ability is not strong, so it is enough to defend him. Moreover, Lewis has a super long wingspan, which can limit and interfere with Luke Walton's support.

When Walton found that Smush Parker had screened a chance near the three-point line in the bottom corner, he hurriedly passed the ball immediately!

But unexpectedly, the ball was touched by Lewis' long arm and was broken by Supersonics point guard Luke Ridnour. The Supersonics quickly launched a fast break!

Although Luke Ridnour is a white point guard with a height of 188, he has extremely explosive power and speed.

After he dribbled and rushed, Smush Parker hurried forward to defend, but was passed by Luke Ridnour with a change of direction and acceleration!
Kobe catches up and makes up the defense!
Luke Ridnour wanted to use the same change of direction to accelerate past Kobe, but Kobe's defense was not in vain. He had already predicted Luke Ridnour's thinking and appeared in Luke Ridnour's mind in advance. Deno's breakthrough route!
Luke Ridnour dribbles one more time and the ball is broken!

This allowed Luke Ridnour to stop the ball in time and stand outside the three-point line.

Kobe immediately stepped forward to close in and press down!

Seeing this defense, Lu Yusheng couldn't help applauding, this defense is really wonderful!
Kobe's control of the distance from the ball holder is perfect. Even if he moves the ball an inch further, Luke Ridnour may directly make a blocking foul, or if Kobe makes a steal, Luke Ridnour De Nuo will also directly break through him!
But he just stopped at a position that made the opponent extremely uncomfortable.

Anticipation, sense of position.

It's all about the details!

And when the ball holder is restricted, the fast break is tantamount to the end.

Players on both the Sonics and Lakers slowed down and prepared to play positional battles.

But unexpectedly, Luke Ridnour suddenly saw Chris Wilcox under the basket completely open and passed the ball directly!
Odom was distracted and didn't even notice that Chris Wilcox had already sneaked out of his defense!
By the time he reacted, Chris Wilcox had already got the ball under the basket and dunked! !

Supersonic speed scores first!
This ball was completely Odom's mistake.Originally, Lu Yusheng thought that Kobe would complain about Odom, but he didn't expect him to be very calm, probably because the game had just started.

The Lakers attacked again. This round, it was still a triangle offense.

Luke Walton watches the ball with his back to Lewis, looking for an open teammate.

Odom comes off a Smush Parker screen and runs out to an open spot!
I don't know if it was because the last pass was interfered by Lewis' long arm. Luke Walton saw this opportunity, but he hesitated, causing this opportunity to be fleeting!
Others can only continue to use the cover to run open.

But this time the Sonics didn't give them a chance. The offensive time was running out and the tactics were not played out.

Kobe stuck Ray Allen and asked for the ball directly!
Luke Wharton lobbed the ball in, Kobe got the ball, and before he made any technical moves, the fans at the scene started cheering!

Moreover, when Kobe took the ball, the Sonics players on both sides were eager to try, ready to harass Kobe's singles.

Kobe carried Ray Allen and dribbled inward. Ray Allen was at the upper-middle level in terms of height and strength in the second position, but he was still easily pushed in by Kobe!
Seeing that there was not much time to attack, the players on both sides of the Supersonics who interfered with Kobe decided that Kobe would never pass the ball again this time, and decisively double-teamed!

Three people defend!

Bryant feints to the right, a back turn to the left, and a jumper!

Swish!
This ball didn't even touch the basket, and it went into the net!

There was a burst of warm cheers at the scene!
Although Lu Yusheng has long been used to Kobe's many-a-dozen balls, when he sits and watches it, the shock is completely different from that in front of the TV!
This is a super giant of Kobe's level. When the tactics kill him, he himself is the tactics.

In the last game against the Warriors, in order to limit Baron Davis' super singles ability, the Zen master also let the defensive players on both sides constantly harass him, which made Baron Davis very uncomfortable. He faced this kind of defense. At that time, he almost never became Lu Yusheng in singles.

But when Kobe faced almost the same defense, he showed a completely different effect. For him, those harassments seemed to exist at all, and he was completely unaffected by them.

Even, when faced with a three-person double-team at the end, he didn't even change his shooting technique at all. This kind of psychological quality and technical stability can only be described as horror!

The national live broadcast of this game is Warner Times, and their on-site commentator is their queen commentator, Standall, and the guest commentator invited today is former NBA star Mark Jackson.

After seeing Kobe's ball, Standall smiled, "Wow, Kobe's iconic post-up singles, this ball is so comfortable, Jackson, have you noticed that after Kobe put on the No. 24 jersey this year, even his The back movement seems to be more similar to Michael?"

"Yes, I also found that he is more and more similar to that person. Of course, I mean technical movements. I have played against Michael. In the position just now, Kobe's footsteps and details in that movement are really amazing. So much like him, if he puts on a Bulls jersey, I guess Michael would have a hard time telling which one he is." Mark Jackson laughed.

"Before the game started, I saw that many of our colleagues predicted that the Lakers would win the game with a larger advantage. Mark, what do you think?"

Jackson said, "This... I'm not good at predicting games, so don't let me predict."

How smart Mark Jackson was, he didn't want to offend Sonics fans.

But Standall didn't intend to let him go, and then asked another sharp question.

"Then please talk about Lu Yusheng, the hottest rookie this year. You must have read the article by our colleague A Smith. He will soon be among the league's top point guards, and he also believes that he will become the league's future point guard nemesis, Mark, you are also a legendary point guard in NBA history, what do you think about this?"
