Author: Can play the harmonica

"Devin Harris is really good." Aaron Zucker exclaimed, "He can actually score such a ball."

"Well, there is indeed something. From the moment he entered the league, I said that he does have a certain talent in offense." A Smith said.

"What about other aspects?" Alan Zucker said, "After all, as a point guard, offensive ability is of course important, but I think it is not the most important. I would like to hear your evaluation of his other aspects.

"

A Smith smiled, "You mentioned an important aspect. As a point guard, I think he does lack some imagination when organizing offenses. Moreover, on the defensive end, his ability to instantly decipher tactics is also demonstrated."

He's not very good, which limits his development."

"But I think his ability to create opportunities for his teammates seems to be pretty good. At least in this game, many teammates enjoyed the offensive space brought by his breakthrough and distribution."

"You are right. Indeed, this is indeed his advantage, but the problem is that this is only his current advantage. It is hard to say whether it will be his advantage in the future." A Smith said.

"Why?" Alan Zucker asked in confusion.

"It's very simple, what is his current means of creating offensive opportunities for his teammates?"

"A breakthrough."

"Yes, but breaking through this thing requires talent, speed, and explosive power. These are things you only have when you are young. Once you get older or suffer injuries, you will easily lose these things.

I won’t talk about anything else, but take Allen Iverson, who broke through the ceiling of this technology, as an example. Even he will be troubled by age and injuries. Think about how explosive he was when he was young, and when he loses speed

When it comes to explosive power, you can see how much he is struggling now."

"So you're saying that once Devin Harris gets older or gets injured, he's going to struggle?" Alan Zucker asked.

"Yes, this is a very real problem. As a point guard, when you can no longer create offensive opportunities for your teammates, your situation will be very dangerous. Allen Iverson is a combo guard. Now

The status of the team is in jeopardy, let alone everyone else." A Smith said.

"Wait a minute," Alan Zucker said, "Senior, you are saying... Allen Iverson's position with the 76ers is now in jeopardy? Is there such a thing?"

A Smith frowned, "Why, didn't you hear anything?"

"No," Alan Zucker said, "I just heard some time ago that there was some unhappiness between Allen Iverson and the 76ers management because he was often late for training, but how should I put it, this kind of thing,

For Allen, it’s not news, and it won’t affect anything, right?”

A. Smith smiled and said, "Listen to the seniors and tell you some NBA rules. You are still young. It may be helpful to your career."

"Oh? I'm all ears."

"Generally speaking, it is normal for conflicts between the team and the management to occur, but they rarely break out. Do you know why?" A Smith asked.

"Why?"

"That's because, under normal circumstances, when conflicts arise, the management will compromise. This is because the star is still at his peak and he is still very important to the team, so the management will compromise," A Smith said,

"So, once this kind of news breaks out, it means that the management has not compromised. It also means that you are no longer so important in the hearts of the management. Do you understand what I mean?

?"

Alan Zucker nodded thoughtfully, "I seem to understand, so what you mean is...in the eyes of the 76ers management, Allen Iverson is no longer the one who can make them compromise.

A star, right?"

"Of course, remember, this is the law of the NBA," A. Smith said, "I am not afraid of taking responsibility. I can tell everyone in front of all the fans during the game that is broadcast across the United States. I don't think it will take long, 76

People will definitely find a way to trade Allen Iverson, do you believe it?"

"Ah? This..." Alan Zucker was a little confused about how to answer the question. After all, he has not heard any rumors about this now, and he also knows his senior. A Smith has always been famous.

Big mouth, he doesn't want to offend Allen Iverson fans.

A Smith smiled and said, "Remember what I told you today, believe me, there will be trading rumors soon."

On the court, on the offensive end of the Lakers' offense, Lu Yusheng still used his pick-and-roll tactics.

This time, the Dallas Mavericks did not choose to double-team, but chose to switch defenses.

Obviously, the Dallas Mavericks have also carefully studied Lu Yusheng's pick-and-roll tactics, otherwise they would not have changed formations immediately on the court as soon as Lu Yusheng tied up.

Lu Yusheng also understands that this change of formation is obviously reasonable. After all, their second position Jason Terry is also a combo defender and moves very fast, so he switches defense with Devin Harris and lets him defend Lu Yusheng.

, and there is no problem for Devin Harris to defend Vujacic.

This is the advantage of the Dallas Mavericks. After switching the defense at the first and second positions, there is no mismatch problem at all.

Of course, this was not a problem for Lu Yusheng. When he saw that Jason Terry was defending him, he immediately handed the ball to Luke Walton, gave him a wink, and quickly moved towards the low post.

.

Jason Terry hurriedly followed.

After Lu Yusheng was in position, Luke Walton passed the ball directly over.

When Lu Yusheng faced Jason Terry, it was obviously more difficult to break through him head-on. After all, Jason Terry was so fast.

But Jason Terry is shorter after all, and Lu Yusheng's low-post play is simply tailor-made for him.

"Oh, low-post singles. Lu Yusheng wants to play Jason Terry in low-posts!" Alan Zucker said, "This is the Lakers' latest winning formula, a winning formula that gives many strong teams such as the Spurs and New Orleans Hornets headaches.

.”

Lu Yusheng held the ball and faced Jason Terry with his back. After making two fake moves, he advanced inside with the ball.

Jason Terry tried his best to push back, but obviously his strength was still a little weak and he couldn't withstand Lu Yusheng's push from behind.

When he got to the right position, Lu Yusheng saw that no one from the Dallas Mavericks came forward to help defend, so he turned forward with a fake move, throwing off Jason Terry's center of gravity, and then turned around and shot a fadeaway jumper!

Score in!

"Oh, a beautiful fadeaway shot, the ball was scored steadily!" Alan Zak said excitedly, "It seems that Lu Yusheng is becoming more and more comfortable with this low post shot. Facing Jay who is shorter than him,

Jason Terry, without any hesitation, directly scored a fadeaway jumper! Jason Terry knew that he had lost his defensive position, and he did not even take off again to try to interfere with the ball.

Senior, during the last game, Magic Johnson said that Lu Yusheng's low post poses a problem for point guards and coaches across the league. What do you think of this?"

A Smith said with a smile, "Of course I agree too much. To be honest, those who criticize Magic for protecting his calf and talking nonsense really don't understand the ball very well. Magic, as a legendary point guard in history, he

Even if he protects his shortcomings and deliberately promotes the Lakers players, he will never use this kind of thing to promote himself. You know, what he said is that this will be a tactical revolution to the current NBA conventional techniques and tactics. If it is really pure

It’s just that Magic is exaggerating, so why can’t even coaches from strong teams in the Western Conference like Popovich and Bron Scott solve it?”

"So you also think that the tactic of letting the point guard play in the low post is a tactic that is difficult for coaches in the league to solve at present?" Alan Zucker asked.

"Yes, from the current point of view, I also think that it can be easily solved in a short time, unless there are some special teams whose number one position itself has a strong ability to defend low post backs."

"But I think Chris Paul's defensive ability at the first position is strong enough."

"Attention, Zach, I am talking about the ability to defend low post singles, not pure defensive ability. This is two different things for the position of point guard." A Smith said, "I don't deny that Chris Paul

His defensive ability is indeed very strong, but this does not mean that he can guard against backs, especially given his height, he will be at a huge disadvantage when defending low backs."

"Then what specific teams you just mentioned are referring to? If even Chris Paul can't defend, I really can't think of any other team that can defend this tactic." Allenza

K said.

"I just said that a team with this kind of player can play the one position and has the ability to defend the low post, for example, the Golden State Warriors." A Smith said.

"Warriors?" Alan Zucker was obviously surprised, "Do you think Baron Davis has such defensive ability?"

"No, I'm not talking about Baron Davis, I'm talking about their No. 2 position, Monta Ellis," A. Smith said. "Although Monta Ellis is a little short of height for the No. 2 position, she is

He has been playing the second position all this time, so he definitely has the ability to defend the low post because he has been doing these things. If the Golden State Warriors let Baron Davis and Monta Ellis switch defenses,

If so, I think this tactic can be limited."

On the court, when Lu Yusheng posted up Jason Terry in the low post, the Dallas Mavericks turned around and used Nowitzki's independent jumper to return the favor.

Then back to the Lakers' offensive round again, Lu Yusheng still let Vujacic use the pick-and-roll tactics first.

This time, the Dallas Mavericks were obviously in a mess. They didn't know whether they should continue to switch defenses. After all, once the defense was switched, Lu Yusheng would go to beat Jason Terry in the low post.

During this period of hesitation, Lu Yusheng suddenly broke through unexpectedly, which caught the Dallas Mavericks by surprise. The players inside had to step forward to cover up the defense. Lu Yusheng made a fake shot and passed the ball, deceiving the defenders and passing through Bynum inside!

An earth-shaking dunk!

"Wow, this shot from Lu Yusheng was so beautiful," Alan Zucker exclaimed, "he suddenly broke through, and then used shooting fakes to attract the defense and create opportunities for the inside. His thinking seemed extremely clear. But I feel,

The Dallas Mavericks’ defense seems a bit messy this round. Didn’t their defensive thinking before be quite clear? What happened suddenly?”

"It's very simple. Their defensive rhythm was disrupted by Lu Yusheng's low post singles just now," A Smith said. "If you think about it, their previous strategy was to switch defenses when facing Lu Yusheng's pick-and-roll tactics.

Anyway, their first and second positions are almost the same, so switching defenses basically has no impact on defense.

But they probably didn't expect that when Jason Terry switched defense in front of Lu Yusheng, Lu Yusheng went to the low post to train Jason Terry without hesitation, and he also played extremely easily, which led to

In the next round, when they faced Lu Yusheng's pick-and-roll, they were a little at a loss because the tactics they had formulated before the game had just been resolved by Lu Yusheng. They didn't know how to play for a while, so Lu Yusheng took advantage of them.

While hesitating, he broke through them directly.

This is actually a chain reaction. His low post singles are so destructive to the Mavericks' defensive tactics that the Mavericks have no way to solve this problem. So I guess their head coach will soon.

Call a timeout to solve this problem, otherwise it will be very detrimental to the Dallas Mavericks if this continues."

A. Smith's guess was absolutely correct. After the Lakers scored the goal, the Dallas Mavericks immediately requested a timeout.

During this timeout, Dallas Mavericks head coach Avery Johnson was very dissatisfied with the performance of his players.

"Why didn't anyone try to help defend him when he was playing Jason Terry in the low post? How did we formulate a strategy before the game?"

Everyone was silent.

"Josh Howard, remember what I told you, you are an important part of our defense of his low post. You have to move. Do you understand?"

Josh Howard nodded.

"This tactic, as we have said before, is not that easy to accomplish. Everyone must work together to complete it. There is absolutely no way to restrict him on the court like you just did." Avery Johnson said.

"Hey, what you said is a bit exaggerated," said Cuban on the side. "That kid is definitely not that exaggerated. I think Devin Harris beat him easily."

"It's not an exaggeration at all." Avery Johnson repeated, "Boss, I still say the same thing, you are my boss and I respect you very much, but please also respect me and don't do anything when I am working.

Interrupt my train of thought."

"Okay, okay." Cuban smiled. He turned back to Devin Harris and said, "Don't hesitate. He is not your opponent. Use your skills to embarrass him."
