Chapter 176(1/2)

Author: Can play the harmonica

As soon as Kwame Brown scored the goal, the Spurs requested a timeout again!

"Unexpectedly, Popovich immediately called a timeout as soon as Brent Barry came on for one possession," Connor said.

"This is very Popovich. I said it at the beginning. He is such a coach. If there is any problem on the court, he will stop and solve it as soon as possible."

David Robinson said, "Besides, this timeout will be called sooner or later. You can see that Popovich was obviously thinking a bit simplistic just now. He wanted to use Brent Barry to limit Lu Yusheng's back hitting.

But they ignored that Lu Yusheng is a point guard. He used his back to play Tony Parker, but he didn't use it at the third position. Obviously, Lu Yusheng's move caught Popovich off guard, so he did this.

Low-level mistake.”

Sure enough, after the timeout, Brent Barry was immediately replaced by another Spurs defender, Beno Udri.

"Beno Udri is a white defender from Slovenia. He has a lot of strength and good speed. He is obviously a better choice to defend Lu Yusheng than Brent Barry, but I feel that it is still difficult for him to restrict Lu Yusheng.

Health, this should be just a stopgap measure by coach Popovich." David Robinson said, "During the halftime break, Popovich should consider a better response strategy."

Lu Yusheng couldn't help but feel happy when he saw Popovich replacing Brent Barry with Beno Udri.

He knows that Benoit Udri is very strong and tall, but he is not fast and his basic skills are not very solid.

Usually Popovich rarely uses him, so replacing him was obviously just to try to restrict Lu Yusheng.

Popovich wants to use him to limit himself, which is obviously a bit taken for granted.

Spurs attack!

Benoit Udri dribbled across half court and called for a pick-and-roll.

This time it was Duncan who came up to screen for him.

Lu Yusheng immediately shouted to Kwame Brown, "Double team!"

Kwame Brown understood and teamed up with Lu Yusheng to double-team Beno Udri!!

Beno Udri obviously did not expect that the Lakers would adopt a double-team strategy and hurriedly dribbled back!

But Lu Yusheng was very fast, and he directly grabbed the ball when double-teamed!

Benoit Udri immediately subconsciously dribbled the ball behind him, but he did not expect that Lu Yusheng's steal was just a fake move. When he saw Benoit Udri being fooled, he immediately used his other hand to steal the ball!

It’s broken!!

When Beno Udri turned around, Lu Yusheng had already copied the ball and ran quickly, dunking in one stop!

"Wow, this steal boosts morale so much!" Connor exclaimed, "Steal it face to face!"

"Indeed, this is indeed a heavy blow to the Spurs' morale. Popovich has just called a timeout, and the purpose of this timeout is to adjust Lu Yusheng's substitutions. In addition to the previous timeout, that is to say,

Popovich had already called two timeouts in order to restrict Lu Yusheng, but as soon as Beno Udri came up, he was directly intercepted by Lu Yusheng, which was a huge blow to the Spurs' morale." David Robinson also said.

This was the first time in this game that Lu Yusheng felt hope.

It seems that his idea is right. He must rely on his own offense to open up the situation and change the Spurs' defense.

Now the Spurs are obviously a little concerned about this point of his, and they have made two consecutive substitutions, which cannot solve this point of his at all.

Moreover, the Spurs have almost used their timeouts now, and there will definitely be no way to solve the problem by calling another timeout for a while.

Lu Yusheng secretly made up his mind to use this more than one minute to open up the score and establish an advantage!

On the Lakers bench, Kobe said to Jackson, "What is Popovich doing?"

"It's nothing, he just hasn't figured out how to deal with it yet," the Zen master said, "Lu Yusheng did pose a problem for him."

"What would you do if it were you?" Kobe asked.

"I think it's very simple, just use the way the Spurs dealt with you to deal with Lu Yusheng."

Zen Master smiled slightly and said, "Let him hit Tony Parker with his back. You should know that this method of post-up singles is very laborious. It is only the first half. Lu can't beat Tony this way for the whole game."

Parker’s.”

"Could Popovich not have thought of this?" Kobe asked rhetorically.

"He can definitely think of it, but the problem is that Tony Parker can't spend too much energy on the defensive end, he also has to organize the offense. So, in fact, the best strategy is to find a fast defender to replace Tony Parker, just

To prevent breakthroughs, as for the back attack, just let Lu hit him. This will not only consume Lu's energy, but also protect Tony Parker well."

Kobe nodded, "Popovich should be able to think of it too."

"That's why I said that he was a little confused by this kid Lu," the Zen master said with a smile. "After this kid came up, various tactical changes made Popovich keep adjusting his tactics, so he obviously

It was a bit chaotic. But I think he must have reacted at this moment, but unfortunately, he used several timeouts before, and now he can no longer use timeouts."

Kobe smiled, "It can make an old fox like Popovich confused. I think this kid is a good material to be a coach. Phil, I really feel that we have a great chance this season."

The Zen master smiled slightly and did not answer, but said, "Kobe, I have some good news for you."

"What?"

"Kubchak has been in private and secret contact with Pau Gasol. Gasol is desperate for the past two years without any playoff results, and he is also extremely disappointed with the Grizzlies management and is desperate to

Get out of there." The Zen Master's eyes narrowed into slits.

Kobe thought, "Phil, if this is the case, I think maybe the Grizzlies don't urgently need combat power."

"What's the meaning?"

"What I mean is...under normal circumstances, when the team's main star is separated from them, they will be eager to exchange the star for future assets. They may not have hope for the record in the past two seasons and will place their hopes on

I hope that in the future, I will not be interested in immediate combat effectiveness, but only in draft picks, so is it possible that we use draft picks to trade with them, and..."

"Save Lu Yusheng, right?"

"right."

"This is unlikely, Kobe." Jackson said, "First of all, you should know that we don't have any good draft picks in our hands. In addition, what you just said is right. In this case, they will indeed pursue

The future, but the problem is, based on Lu's current performance, a rookie who has only played seven games, he himself is the future, and it is a bright future that can be seen. What reason do you think the Grizzlies management has for not selecting him?

Lu, who has shown such strength, is counting on a lottery-style draft?"

Kobe was silent.

On the court, Lu Yusheng faced Benoit Udri, dribbling the ball with his hips, shaking his center of gravity, and broke through Benoit Udri with one lunge!

After breaking into the paint, Tim Duncan had to come out to cover up the defense. Lu Yusheng repeated his old trick and once again passed the ball lowhand to the unguarded Kwame Brown, who then hit a powerful dunk!

This dunk brought the atmosphere at Staples Center to its peak in an instant!

The cheers were deafening!

They saw that the powerful Spurs had absolutely no way to defeat Lu Yusheng at this moment, and their momentum was completely on the Lakers' side!

In the next round, Lu Yusheng once again broke through Benoy Udri!

Now Beno-Udri is a little anxious. After all, he was ordered in the face of danger. He was sent by Popovich to specifically restrain Lu Yusheng. Now that Lu Yusheng's sudden life cannot take care of himself, he is really a little annoyed!

Benoy Udri dragged Lu Yusheng to the ground after he had broken through!

Other Lakers teammates immediately gathered around, and Vujacic glared at Benoit Oud with wide eyes.

Benoit Udri knew he was in the wrong and kept retreating. The Spurs players and the referee came to the rescue and stopped the two sides, so no conflict broke out.

The Staples Center was filled with boos, and fans began to boo Benoy Udri.

Lu Yusheng walked to the free throw line and began to take free throws.

At this time, a scene that he did not expect happened.

The fans started shouting MVP at him!

At first, only a small number of fans were shouting, but soon, more and more fans began to join in, and uniform and loud MVP shouts began to emit from the sky above the entire arena!

"MVP! MVP! MVP!"

"..."

Lu Yusheng held the ball and listened to the shouts of MVP all over the sky, his body trembling slightly for a moment.

He never dreamed that he, a rookie, could enjoy such treatment.

This is a treatment that only the owners of Staples Center can enjoy!

The commentator was also a little emotional. Connor said, "I never expected that a rookie who only played in his eighth game with the Lakers would actually make the fans at Staples Center chant MVP. This is really

This is something that we old commentators can hardly imagine. You know, this kind of treatment is generally only available to the stars of the team, and it must be the treatment that can only be received by stars who have made outstanding contributions to the team."

"How should I put it? I think you are right. This is indeed a treatment that only a star player can enjoy. But judging from Lu Yusheng's performance today, I think he is completely worthy. He can lead a lineup like the current Lakers and is completely disadvantaged at the start.

In this situation, he turned the tide, fought back and forth with the Spurs, and was able to force Popovich into chaos. As far as this game is concerned, he definitely deserves this MVP." David Robinson said.

"Hey, how do you feel?" the Zen master asked Kobe with a smile, "The limelight has been robbed."

Kobe also smiled helplessly, "He played really well, but I also think these people gave him this title too easily. This kid will become inflated."

Lu Yusheng scored these two free throws steadily while almost trembling.

In the next game, Lu Yusheng led the Lakers to completely occupy the advantage and initiative on the court. When the whistle sounded at the end of the second quarter, they led the Spurs by eight points, 58:50!

"The result of this first half of the game was completely beyond my expectation. If anyone had told me before the game that the Lakers could lead the Spurs by eight points at halftime, I would never have believed it, unless Duncan was injured, but
