Author: Can play the harmonica

Delong never expected that this ball not only did not get rid of Lu Yusheng's defense, but was intercepted by Lu Yusheng!

He hurriedly chased and tried his best to chase and defend!

But Lu Yusheng had already made a quick attack quickly, and a dunk ended the attack!

Delong unfortunately became the background of Lu Yusheng's dunk.

"Lu's steal is something," said McClellin. "At first, I saw his center of gravity deviating and thought he was going to be passed, but he suddenly returned to Delong's breakthrough position. This was simply incredible!"

Robertson smiled and said, "This is actually a little trick. Sometimes, in order to confuse the offensive players, they pretend to take his fake moves and lose their center of gravity. When he really breaks through, they will steal it. I used to do this, and I learned this hand from a senior."

"So that's how it is." McLean suddenly realized, "But if this is the case, then everyone can use this fake move to confuse the defensive players when defending?"

"This is impossible," Robertson said. "The premise for you to defend like this is that you have to predict the real breakthrough intention of the offensive player. Only in this way can you be confused with fake moves. If you can't predict which direction the opponent will break, what other fake moves are you doing?"

"What do you mean... Lu Yusheng predicted Delong's breakthrough direction just now, so he used fake actions to confuse Delong and form a steal?"

"I think this should be the case," Robertson said. "From the extent of his movement just now, it was indeed a defensive fake move. He should have predicted Deron's intention to break through."

"But if he is so powerful that he can judge Delong's breakthrough route, why would he be so miserable by Delong in the first quarter and he has no power to resist." McClell said.

"I think it might be just a chance," Robertson said, "maybe Delong had been too relaxed before, so he was a little too simple, and Lu saw through the intention of breaking through. I think this should be just a chance. Next time, when Delong takes it seriously again, Lu may be very difficult for Lu."

On the court, after Lu Yusheng completed a one-stop single-defense steal dunk against Delong, he glared at Delong, "How about it? Let a yellow man who is not qualified to play the NBA steal dunk, aren't you getting better?"

"Don't be arrogant with me, I tell you, I was just accidentally just now, you thought you were fine? Remember the steal I gave you last time, this will be the only time you will be tonight. I tell you that you will not even have the chance to touch the ball in the future."

Deron said viciously while dribbling.

On the bench of the Utah Jazz off the court, head coach Sloan said to assistant coach Barnes, "I really can't imagine that the star of the team I coach will play like this, I really can't imagine..."

Assistant coach Barnes, who was standing by, saw the signs of a conflict between Sloan and Deron at the beginning of the season.

He knew very well that this contradiction must be resolved immediately, otherwise it would be very unfavorable to the team.

You know, if the conflict between Sloan and Deron becomes big, one of these two people will definitely leave.

If it were a normal team, the head coach would definitely be the one who left, but the Jazz was a little different. Sloan has coached this team for more than ten years and has too old experience. The management of the Utah Jazz also trusts him very much.

But on the other hand, no one can see Deron's potential. He will definitely grow into an All-Star player in the future. If that team chooses such a rookie, they will definitely cherish it.

Especially, he is still just a rookie contract, and the contract will expire in the year after the contract. Will the Jazz give up such a good and cheap star seedling?

So, when Sloan and Deron had a conflict, the result was really hard to say.

If Deron is kicked, it would be fine. If Mr. Sloan is kicked, his job will be lost. After all, their assistant coaches are actually making a living with Sloan.

One day the emperor and another day the minister.

The next head coach and his coaching team are there.

Therefore, Barnes still hopes that their contradictions can be eliminated.

"Coach, I think this is the case," Barnes said. "Actually, it is normal for young people to be arrogant. If you think of those big-name stars, when they were young, they were not arrogant and who had no crazy desire to attack. I won't say anything else. Our current opponent, Kobe, was still attacking crazy last season, and Deron is not really anything."

Sloan turned around and stared at him, "Barnes, can this be the same? What configuration was the Lakers last season? What kind of configuration were we? Last season Kobe could only play that way, and the Lakers could go further. Forget it, Barnes, I shouldn't tell you these things. You know more about these things than me. You just want to excuse that kid..."

"No, coach, I'm not trying to excuse him, I'm just..."

"Just what?" Sloan asked.

"I just... don't want to see your conflict continue. If it continues like this... Once it intensifies, it will be difficult to end..." Barnes said.

"I'm not afraid." Mr. Sloan said loudly, "A professional basketball player should follow the coach's tactical arrangements when playing for a team. This is the minimum moral bottom line for a professional player. If you can't even do this, what else can you play basketball?!"

Barnes hurriedly signaled to Mr. Sloan to whisper, after all, the other Jazz players were still there, and this would only intensify the conflict when it reached Deron's ears.

Of course, Mr. Sloan understood his concerns, but he was fearless. "What are you nervous? I have been saying this for decades. Don't talk about him Deron. Go and ask Stockton and Malone, have I said this in front of them?"

Barnes sighed, "Old man, you have to understand that basketball is different now than before."

"Why is it different?" Mr. Sloan's eyes widened, "Isn't it a more game than who threw the ball into the basket? What's the difference?"

Seeing that he had said this, Barnes simply said everything he had held in his heart for a long time.

"Old man, what I said is different is not the rules, but the current basketball environment has changed. It is true that in the past, as you said just now, no matter how big a star is, you must perform the tactics assigned by the coach when you go on the court. If you don't execute it well, then the coach should train.

He can't just say he can only listen obediently, I have been following you for so many years, don't I know that Stockton made a mistake when he was young, how did you train him? You even punished him to stand during training, but Stockton, at the end of his career, wasn't he still grateful to you?

But now, old man, think about it, since the 21st century, everything you can remember is that there is a conflict between the star and the coach. Which coach finally won? The answer is, none of them.

Have you forgotten that just two days ago, Coach Bob Hill of Seattle Supersonics had a conflict with their Ray Allen, and Supersonics management took Coach Bob Hill the next day..."

"Shut up, Barnes." Mr. Sloan interrupted him and said, "I don't want to listen to you talk about these things again."

"No, I have to say," Barnes said persistently, "My man, you must calm down, think about it carefully, and weigh the pros and cons. You are highly respected in the Utah Jazz, and the management and boss respect you very much. In recent years, even if the team does not achieve results, you can still lead the team for a few more years and make money for a few more years.

Think about it, you are not young this year, why are you worried? Since the management is optimistic about Delong, let him play. If he likes it, we will play with him. Anyway, when he has enough play and wants to win, you don’t need to say that he will change himself.

And you are still worry-free, and you can take a few years of money to retire easily."

Sloan's eyes trembled slightly, obviously, and he was very angry at Barnes's words.

"Barnes, have you ever thought about what to do with the team's record? The team spent so much money and bought so many excellent players, so let them play alone? Let's get paid here?

You have to be worthy of yourself, they treat me well, and I can’t treat them badly. As long as I am the head coach of this team for one day, the goal of this team will always be the championship!

Also, you said just now that Delong is a good seedling, and don’t forget that I chose him, I cannot be irresponsible to him and let him take detours.

I tell you, Barnes, many times, whether a player can become a superstar, whether he can shoulder the heavy responsibility, and whether he can go further depends entirely on his first three years.

Because these three years will determine his wisdom and forge his basketball attitude. If he grows up in an environment of completely self and develops bad habits of offense and defense in these three years, then his basketball career will be like this.

Barnes, don't refute me, you know very well that you and I have seen many such tragedies. Those rookies who were shocking to us were completely ruined just because they didn't shape all this well in the first three years. So, I don't want Delong to repeat their mistakes. He was my choice, and I treat him as my child."

After hearing Sloan said these words, Barnes looked a little helpless in his eyes.

Originally, he planned to give up arguing with the old man, but hesitated for a while and said, "Of course I know your old intentions, but have you ever thought about it? Not all children are Stockton and Malone."

"What's the meaning?"

"What does it mean? You treat him as your own child, but do you know what he says about you behind the scenes?"

Barnes said, "I can't tell you those unpleasant words... The young people today are different from before. They have caught up with good times and can make a lot of money by fighting casually. They are millionaires and millionaires, so they don't have the patience to abide by those dogmas and rules anymore. Times have changed, Sloan, so you can't take the past..."

"Shut up! I'll let you stop!!"

Mr. Sloan suddenly turned around and roared at Barnes with blue veins.

Everyone on the side was shocked.

"I warn you Barnes, don't say this in front of me again. I'll say it again. When playing on the court, you have to follow the coach's tactical arrangements. This is the minimum professional ethics of a professional player. Do you remember?"

Barnes looked helpless, "OK, OK..."

However, Deron on the field knew nothing about the quarrel between Sloan and Barnes due to himself.

He was extremely annoyed at this moment.

Just now, after being stolen by Lu Yusheng, he was trying to get back, so he wanted to go through him a few more times and humiliate him.

But unexpectedly, Lu Yusheng still did not take his fake moves this time, and his breakthrough route was blocked by Lu Yusheng again, and he almost stole it.

Fortunately, he pushed Lu Yusheng with a secret force, so he barely failed to intercept the ball.

But there was no time for this attack, so I could only choose to take action in a hurry. However, Lu Yusheng's blocking arrived soon. Although it did not, it still disturbed him.

However, this time, he obviously did not continue his previous good luck. The ball was outrageously crooked and almost didn't even touch the basket.

This made Delong very angry.

In particular, Lu Yusheng also began to keep squirting about him.

"Hey, didn't you say I didn't even have the chance to touch the ball, but you seemed to be almost cut off by me just now." Lu Yusheng said.

"If it is broken, it is broken, if it is broken, it is broken. What does it mean that it is almost broken? Can this thing still be borrowed?" Delong said disdainfully.

"What I almost mean is that if you didn't use despicable means to foul me, I'll definitely be cut off."

"Oh? Did you make a foul? Why don't I hear the whistle?"

"You can just know whether to commit a foul or not. Anyway, I don't expect those two free throws to score. I just feel that I'm just calling others unworthy of playing the NBA, but I can't beat them. I have no choice but to use dirty tricks to secretly foul. Do you think such a person is worthy of playing the NBA?"

Now Delong stopped talking, his face began to become gloomy.

Lu Yusheng ran out to catch the ball, and Delong quickly caught up!

"Bitch, if you have the ability, don't call a pick-and-roll. Come and have one-on-one with me!" Delong gritted his teeth and said hatred.

Seeing that he was anxious, Lu Yusheng laughed, "OK, trash, since you have to be uncomfortable, I will play with you."

Lu Yusheng said, waved his hand to Vujasic who came up to pick-and-roll for him, signaling not to pick-and-roll.

Vujasic was stunned and had to leave.

"Wow! It seems that this time, even Lu has become uneasy. He rejected his teammate's pick-and-roll, obviously he wants to have a one-on-one match with Delong!" McClellin shouted.

Robertson smiled, "Although this makes the game look better, the coaches of both sides are probably cursing people below, especially Coach Sloan. Deron turned this game into his own singles match, and he didn't consider any tactics at all."

Facing Delong, Lu Yusheng began to dribble.

Delong's face turned pale, he opened his hands, lowered his center of gravity, stared at Lu Yusheng, as if he wanted to swallow Lu Yusheng alive!

"Come on, rookie, I'll let you know what defense is!"
