Chapter 51 [Isiah Thomas’s views]

The Zen master was communicating with Lu Yusheng very calmly.

But Lu Yusheng's heart felt like a tsunami had blown over him at this moment!

It turns out that Zen Master did not let him play with the substitute lineup, but actually wanted him to replace Smushparker with the main lineup!

The disappointment and frustration just now were swept away in an instant!

Direct confrontation with Nash!

Lu Yusheng never dreamed that all this would happen so quickly!

Zen Master told Lu Yusheng, "Lu, you listened most carefully to our tactical analysis of the Suns before the game. I noticed just now that you have been observing Nash from the sidelines."

Lu Yusheng was shocked, okay, this old man seemed to have never looked at him, but he actually knew everything.

Even the details that I have been observing Nash are clear!

Lu Yusheng once wondered if the old man's glasses were specially made with high technology?

"So you should be able to see clearly where the Suns' deterrent power lies."

"Quick attack and counterattack." Lu Yusheng said.

The Zen master nodded, "So, try to reduce mistakes as much as possible, don't give them a chance to counterattack quickly, and one more thing."

At this point, the Zen master suddenly leaned into Lu Yusheng's ear, as if he wanted to whisper something.

Lu Yusheng was stunned. Isn't this necessary? The scene was so noisy, and the Suns' coaching staff and players were over there, so there was no way they could hear it.

But he still put his ear close to it.

"When tactics cannot be used, you can attack Nash appropriately."

Lu Yusheng was stunned, "Ah?"

But the Zen master didn't say anything more, and just waved Lu Yusheng back to his seat.

He also needs to continue to observe the situation on the court.

Lu Yusheng returned to his seat, his heart was so surging that he couldn't calm down at all!

Last night, he was so nervous that he didn't sleep well.

I have fantasized about today's game process countless times, the tasks I will undertake, and my own performance.

But no matter what, he never thought that he would be entrusted with such an important task!

Directly facing off against MVP-level Nash!!!

Excitement, excitement, nervousness, and panic were all intertwined in Lu Yusheng's heart at the same time...

He could only try to control his emotions, calm down, and continue to observe the situation on the court.

At present, the substitute lineups of both sides are fighting on the court.

The Phoenix Suns' signings this year are mainly aimed at reinforcing the bench lineup.

The strength of players such as Marcus Banks, Jaylen Rose, Eric Piakowsky, Jumaine Jones, and Sean Marcos cannot be underestimated. The players' personal abilities are far better than those of the Lakers.

Above the substitute players.

But after all, they have just integrated into the team and do not have a thorough understanding of the team's tactics. Therefore, the tactical effect of the game is far less smooth than that of the main lineup.

The No. 1 spot on the Suns' bench is Leandro Barbosa, known as the Brazilian Lightning.

As Nash's substitute, the Brazilian star is characterized by his excellent physical fitness, especially his terrifying speed and explosive power.

But as a point guard, his shortcomings are equally obvious.

He has a habit of sticking to the ball and has poor organizational skills. This is simply disastrous for a point guard, because it means that you cannot drive your teammates to implement overall tactics.

Therefore, although the Suns' second team players are more capable, under the leadership of Barbosa, they have no advantage and are tied with the Lakers' second team.

In the middle and late part of the second quarter, when it was time for the main players to rotate, the score reached 38:29.

The score was not evenly drawn.

Seeing that the Suns had replaced Nash, Master Zen directly waved to Lu Yusheng to let him play.

Lu Yusheng stood up hurriedly.

The teammates were a little surprised.

And Smushparker, who was standing up to prepare for the stage, couldn't help but be stunned.

He asked the Zen Master in confusion, "Phil, what are you doing? Why don't you let me play?"

The Zen master didn't explain it to him at all, but simply gestured for him to return to his seat.

Smushpark looked at Lu Yusheng angrily and returned to his seat angrily.

After Lu Yusheng came on the stage, Staples fans still cheered and booed equally. Fans who were optimistic about him naturally responded with cheers and expectations, while those who looked down on him naturally greeted him with boos.

Lu Yusheng was extremely nervous and followed the other main players onto the shiny floor of Staples Center.

Stepping on the Lakers team logo under his feet, Lu Yusheng instantly had an unreal feeling!

As for the decision to let Lu Yusheng play against Steve Nash, Bismarsh Parker was even more surprised by the commentators and commentators on the scene.

The Turner Television Network (TNT) is responsible for broadcasting this game. Their commentator is the famous sports reporter Vince Cain, and the commentator they invited is former NBA star Isiah Thomas.

Vince Kane was a little excited about Zen Master's sudden lineup change.

"Oh my god, that's crazy! As expected of Zen Master, in the first game of the opening game, they put their starting point guard Smush Parker on the bench, and let a rookie who hasn't played a single official game go.

Facing Nash, this is really crazy! Probably only a Zen master can make such a decision. Thomas, what do you think of this?"

Isiah Thomas is also one of the few point guards in NBA history. As the well-deserved leader of the bad boy Pistons, he eliminated Michael Jordan's Bulls several times that year, and the head coach of that Bulls team was...

Zen master.

Isiah Thomas laughed and said, "Yes, this is indeed a bit crazy. We all know that Phil is a great head coach, but I still think it is inappropriate for him to make such a decision. First, it is against

Their starting player Smush Parker is extremely disrespectful, which will greatly damage his self-confidence. Secondly, using a rookie who has never played in an NBA game to face Steve Nash is also disrespectful to Nash.

Respect, oh my God, he's the MVP!"

Vince Kane smiled and said, "Thomas, do you think there is a possibility that the Asian rookie they selected this year does have outstanding abilities? After all, the Lakers' draft this year really shocked the world, and Lu is indeed

He also led the Lakers to win the Summer League championship."

"Come on, man, I don't think so. The level of competition in our summer league may not be as good as the quality of high school competition in the United States. What reference can this make?"

"Thomas, have you seen that kid play? Do you think this kid is real? Will he be the problem-solver for the Lakers at the No. 1 position?"

"Of course, I have seen some," Isiah Thomas said, "My evaluation of him is that, like all Asian players, he has some skills, but his physical level is so poor that they cannot adapt to NBA-level games.

"

"No, no, no, Thomas, what you said is so unconservative. After all, Yao Ming's performance is obvious to all." Vince Kane hurriedly stopped Thomas.

But Isiah Thomas didn't seem to hear it at all, and continued, "Yao Ming's performance is not phenomenal. He can only be regarded as a qualified fifth position at best, but the point guard is different. Kane,

I am also a point guard, and I know very well what qualities are needed to play this position well."

"So you are not optimistic about Master Zen's choice? Or are you not optimistic about the Lakers' Asian rookie point guard?"

Isiah Thomas laughed and said, "You are deliberately making me say the wrong thing, but I still have to say that I am not optimistic about both. In the next game, Steve Nash will make the Lakers and Jackson understand what stupidity is."

decision."

At the end of the day, Isiah Thomas made no secret of his views.

Whistle!

Game start!
Chapter completed!
