Chapter 194 The Hornets’ Problem

Lu Yusheng scored against Chris Paul twice in a row, causing the Hornets to immediately call a timeout.

"In Byron Scott's habit, he will definitely call a pause, there is no doubt that this is." Magician Johnson said.

"That's right, Lu Yusheng has scored continuously, especially the target of his own signature Chris Paul. This timeout must be called." Daniel said.

"No, no, you're wrong, Daniel," said Magic Johnson, "this timeout is not because Chris Paul was beaten twice by Lu Yusheng, but because their tactics were destroyed by Lu Yusheng,

And it was the tactics they had carefully studied before, which were destroyed by Lu Yusheng. Believe me, they must have carefully studied the game between the Lakers and the Spurs, and I can completely imagine that when they were studying the back of the hand against Lu Yusheng, Chris Paul must have said it doesn't matter, don't worry, I can deal with it myself."

"This is in line with Chris' character."

"Yes, I guess it will be like this," said the Magician. "After all, although Chris Paul is only a second-year rookie, his defensive ability is definitely top-notch in the position of the No. 1 position. So he must have such confidence. From the defense of these two balls just now, we can fully feel that the Hornets are planning to use Chris Paul's strong personal defensive ability to solve the problem by themselves."

"But they didn't expect that Lu Yusheng's singles would be really good. Chris Paul's single defense could not be solved." Daniel said.

"Yes, so I said, this might be a trouble for the New Orleans Hornets tonight."

"Why?" Daniel asked in confusion, "A defensive tactic is defeated, and it will not become a trouble for tonight, right?"

The Magician smiled and said, "It's not an exaggeration at all. Daniel, I can give you two reasons. First, this tactic is not that easy to defend. Think about it, in the entire league, the number one position is actually not very good at defensive back-playing. After all, few teams take the number one position back-to-body single as their main tactic.

The reason why the Lakers can do this is actually because Lu Yusheng has the ability to attack from behind, and, more importantly, his back-on tactic is actually a variant of triangular offense, so the Lakers can play, but other teams cannot."

Daniel nodded, "It makes sense."

"The second is because the point guard who eats the opponent's single side is just a demonstration. Using this move to change the opponent's defensive formation and thus drive the whole team, this is the ultimate goal of this move. Lu Yusheng has quite good passing and response skills, so I said that this move is not so easy to defend. If it were just a matter of assisting defense, then Popovich would not be so messy that night."

“That’s true.”

"Also, I guess when the New Orleans Hornets were preparing for the game, they must have thought that Chris Paul's single defense was absolutely fine, so they didn't prepare any further steps. But now, the problem arises, it depends on whether Byron Scott can find a way to solve it."

"What do you know about Byron Scott? Do you think he can easily solve this problem?"

"I don't think it's that easy," the magician laughed. "It's not because he's underestimated my old teammates. In fact, he's very capable, at least, in the position of coaching, he's doing much better than me."

Daniel laughed.

The Magician continued, "But the problem is that the question that Lu Yusheng raised now is a question raised to all point guards and all coaches in the league. He can't solve the problem alone, so I think this is really not easy to deal with. See if they have any good solutions."

"Although I absolutely recognize your professionalism, after all, I am your hardcore fan." Daniel said, "But I think you are a little sensitive about Lu Yusheng's back-to-body singles. After all, this is just a technology. There are many stars in the league who are proficient in back-to-body singles, and it will not become a difficult problem in the league, right?"

"No, no, Daniel, you don't understand what I mean. What I am talking about is not the technology of back-to-door singles that will create problems in the league, but Lu Yusheng, as a point guard, uses this technology as a conventional weapon, will give the league a headache.

Because this is not only how he can score himself, but also to attract defense and lead teammates to score through back-playing. This will become a tactic. Because no number one position has ever done this, the coaches in the league never consider countermeasures. Just like now, I think Byron Scott has no way to solve this problem for a while."

Seeing that Daniel was still a little unbelievable, the magician smiled and said, "It's okay, you'll understand after watching the game."

The whistle sounded.

The game continues!

The New Orleans Hornets serve and Chris Paul dribbled through halftime.

Still still pick-and-roll tactics, Lu Yusheng walked around quickly and did not give Chris Paul the chance to operate.

He can only continue to use the pick-and-roll to find opportunities.

But after the Lakers' attacks just now, their defensive enthusiasm has increased significantly. Chris Paul has been using pick-and-roll continuously, but he has not found a suitable opportunity.

There was no choice but to take the initiative to find Odom and fight against the big ones.

Chris Paul kept dribbling, shaking Odom's center of gravity.

Finally found an opportunity and scored with China National Ball!

"Oh, David West blocked Chris Paul four times in a row, so that Paul found a chance to play Odom alone." Daniel said.

The Magician shook his head, "This is not a good sign. I feel that the Hornets' next game may become more and more difficult."

"Why? This goal was scored after all," said Daniel.

"There is no way to explain it to you now. Let's tell you about it later based on the situation on the field."

The game continues and returns to the Lakers' offensive round.

Lu Yusheng still had the strategy just now, running to the low post to ask for the ball.

But this time, Chris Paul obviously thought of a countermeasure and blocked Lu Yusheng from entering the low position to get the position.

But this is not a problem for Lu Yusheng, it is just a matter of using a cover.

He found Odom, took the initiative to hang up a cover, and went straight to the low post.

Luke Walton's ball passed by immediately.

Lu Yusheng received the ball and dribbled the ball, and began to look at the sixth route.

He noticed that this time, when he started to sit and play Paul, the wingers and inside players of the New Orleans Hornets subconsciously moved towards him, trying to assist in defense at any time.

Lu Yusheng was delighted, this was exactly what he wanted!

As long as they dare to defend, there will definitely be teammates in the open space!

Lu Yusheng immediately pushed in. At this time, he could clearly feel that other Hornets teammates had begun to indent him.

But that's not enough.

Lu Yusheng continued to fight inside, turning back and forth one after another, causing Paul to be in a hurry.

At this time, Lu Yusheng's Yu Guangzhong observed that David West and Peja Stoyakovic were getting closer and closer to him!

It takes a little more, just a little bit!

Lu Yusheng turned around quickly and instantly shook Paul, blocking him with one hand and preventing him from making up for it quickly!

The next second, Lu Yusheng was already close to the basket and could shoot at any time!

He made a fake shot!

At this moment, David West and Peja Stoyakovic no longer care about so many things, quickly left their defensive players to make up for Lu Yusheng’s defense!

Lu Yusheng seized the opportunity and directly hit the earth from a tricky angle and passed it to Odom in the empty space!

Odom took off directly, Tyson Chandler, who was inside, could only let go of Kwame Brown and jumped to defend Odom!

Odom cheated Tyson Chandler with fake moves and passed it to Kwame Brown!

A dunk that shakes the earth!!

This dunk instantly made the Lakers exert momentum!

In the next round of defense, the Lakers used their lives and were extremely active in defense, and did not give the New Orleans Hornets any open space. The forced Chris Paul could only continue to switch positions and singles against Odom.

This goal was also scored!!

Neither side can limit the opponent's top players and tactics.

The atmosphere of the game immediately reached a high point! The fans stood up and cheered! Applause was everywhere!

In the next round, Lu Yusheng still received the ball at a low post and played back to support him.

This time, other players of the New Orleans Hornets were even more embarrassed. They felt Lu Yusheng's terrifying pass ability, so they did not dare to go forward to double-team for a while, but Chris Paul was pushed back by Lu Yusheng and retreated step by step, which really could not stop Lu Yusheng's advance.

While hesitating, Lu Yusheng turned around and jumped into the jump shot again!

"Wow, it seems that Lu Yusheng has fully mastered the skills of playing Paul at low post. He didn't even seem to have much effort to score in this goal, so he scored directly." Daniel sighed.

"This is what I just told you, why Lu Yusheng's back in the low post becomes a problem in the league. Think about it, even Chris Paul's defensive ability is helpless. Is there any better way for other No. 1 positions?" said the Magician.

In the next round, in the Hornets' offensive round, Chris Paul did not want to play Odom alone in the misplaced position, but there was no way. After all, during this period, the Lakers' overall defensive enthusiasm is really high, and he really can't find a better opportunity to lead his teammates.

This time, he did not go to misplaced to find Odom. After choosing a pick-and-roll, he made a quick jump shot!

Lu Yusheng's ball was still fast and he interfered with Chris Paul's shooting.

This ball is iron!

Back to the Lakers' offensive round.

Lu Yusheng still carried Chris Paul on his back!

Chris Paul was a little annoyed. This kid really used himself as a soft persimmon!!

Since he started playing basketball, who dares to look down on his defense like this?

Who dares to play in the No. 1 position of those teams like this as a defensive weakness?

And he was still playing singles continuously!

Is there any other kingly law?

Seeing David West attempting to come over to help defend, Chris Paul couldn't help but shout angrily, "Don't have to come here, I can do it myself!"

The teammates also clearly felt Chris Paul's anger, and the players who were ready to come to assist in defense all retreated in an instant.

It was completely one-on-one between Chris Paul and Lu Yusheng!

Lu Yusheng also understood that this time, it would be impossible to attract assisted teammates and get the help of their teammates. Just eat it alone!
