Nba: Starting With The Eye Of The Devil

George Karl is pissed!

The so-called head coach of the Supersonics, George Karl's record since he took office is obvious to all.

He served as the head coach of the Sonics in the second half of last season.

Finished the second half of the season with the Sonics 27 wins and 15 losses, and the winning percentage came to 64%.

Before he took over as head coach of the Sonics, the Sonics' record was only 20 wins and 20 losses, which was a 50% winning percentage.

George Karl increased the team's winning percentage by 14%. ,

He took the Sonics from the ninth place in the West to the fifth place in the West.

Under his leadership this year, the Sonics once again achieved a winning rate of 67%, ranking fourth in the Western Conference.

Under his leadership, the Sonics played both offensive and defensive game styles.

The defensive efficiency this season ranks third in the league.

Offensive efficiency is also ranked sixth.

This is absolutely excellent offensive and defensive.

Therefore, George Karl is very confident in the team this season.

He believes that the team's competitiveness this season is definitely very strong.

Because of this, he believes that in the second round of the playoffs, the Sonics definitely have a chance to eliminate the No. 1 Lakers in the Western Conference as a dog.

But now, because the score has reached 200.

For George Karl, there must be pressure.

That kid Gary Payton didn't even listen to his defensive arrangements.

Going to defend Lu Yu alone!

what's the result?

The result was that Lu Yu dunked directly over Shawn Kemp's head.

Let Lu Yu rule 【Ruler】!

The Lakers took advantage of this and directly scored an 11-point difference.

George Karl was furious.

Then Gary Payton will have to bear the serious consequences of "September 13".

Sit on the bench, and when George Karl's temper dissipates, you Gary Payton will play again.

After Payton was sprayed by George Karl, he sat directly on the bench with his head down in a daze.

George Karl squinted and set his sights on the field again.

The game continues.

In fact, even after McMillan came up to defend Lu Yu.

Things haven't improved much either.

The offense of the Lakers today is completely blossoming!

As the team's second ball-holding point, James Worthy played very well.

Derek McKay's defense is very difficult.

Madman is also very active today, constantly using off-ball moves to intersperse the Supersonics' defense.

Let the Sonics' defense be very passive.

And this guy can really seize the opportunity.

In the first quarter of the game, he hit two three-pointers and a layup, scoring 8 points.

At the end of the first quarter, the score of the two teams came to 32 to 20.

The Lakers lead by 12 points!

James Worthy scored 10 points in the first quarter and Madman scored 8 points in the first quarter.

Lu Yu was double-teamed infinitely in the first quarter and only scored 5 points, but he still had 3 assists.

Moreover, when he is double-teamed and defended, the physical strength consumed on the offensive end is relatively close.

So he put all his strength on the defensive end, and sent 3 steals in a single quarter!

The game came to the second quarter.

Lakers here.

With a 12-point lead and a 2-0 lead, head coach Dunleavy felt that the youngsters should be given some chances.

He looked at the madman and said:

"Latrier, if Lu gets double-teamed, you're going to get the ball.

"I'll give you a chance, give it to me!"

After the madman heard the coach's words, his blood immediately surged up, and his scalp was a little numb.

The coach has spoken, let me go!

I have to prove to the coach that I can do it.

So he immediately stated: "Don't worry coach, I will play well!"

Dunleavy looked at Lu Yu again, and said:

"Lu, look at him, don't let him get on top."

The madman's problem has always been a point of helplessness for Dunleavy.

Just look at the basket with the ball.

Especially when Lu Yu is not around, this problem is extremely serious!

In the second quarter, let Lu Yu and the madman play together, which can restrain the madman.

"good.

Lu Yu replied.

After hearing the coach's arrangement, the madman immediately said helplessly:

"Coach, don't you believe me?"

Looking at the devout eyes of the madman, Dunleavy shook his head: "I still trust Lu Yu more."

The second quarter begins.

The first is the Lakers' offensive opportunity.

Outside the three-point line, Lu Yu advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

The Sonics immediately double-teamed Lu Yu.

At this time, Gary Payton has already played.

Obviously, after half a quarter of calmness, he succumbed to the head coach.

Peyton was already taciturn and not good at speaking at this time.

Under the double-team, Lu Yu passed the basketball into the hands of the madman.

After the madman received the ball, he directly broke through to the inside.

At this time, the supersonic defense was launched, and the madman was immediately restricted.

"I'm empty I'm empty!"

Eli raised his hand and yelled at the madman.

But the madman continued to attack the basket as if he hadn't heard it.

Apparently, this guy is at it again.

"Latril!"

Lu Yu reminded a madman, and the madman realized it.

But it was too late for him to react.

Eli has been covered.

At this time, the madman had already stopped the ball, and the supersonic's inside defense was heading towards him again.

Falling into this situation, the madman immediately passed the basketball to the outside Lu Yu.

After Lu Yu received the ball, there was not much time left.

The Sonics didn't come over to double-team at this time.

At the top of the three-point arc, Lu Yu singles Payton with the ball.

"boom!"

After dribbling the ball, Lu went straight to the inside to break through.

After passing Payton by half a body, Lu Yu took off from the free throw line.

But at this time, Sean Kemp's defense came over.

He stretched out his arm to interfere with Lu's defense.

Lu Yu found something was wrong in the air.

The core contracted, and the basketball that was about to be thrown was taken back!

At this time, he had already started to fall, but he still held his core firmly.

Throw the basketball.

"Arbitrarily shot!"

swish!

The basketball flew out of Lu Yu's hands and fell into the basket.

"Folding shot??"

"My mother, how powerful is this Tengxian Lihuang?"

"Damn it, I've only heard of folding layups, but I haven't heard of folding layups!"

After seeing Lu Yu's shot over Shawn Kemp.

Everyone was stunned.

On the way back to defense, Lu Yu said to the madman: "Shoot when you get the chance."

"Don't hesitate, pass the ball when you encounter a help defense, and look for the best passing opportunity,"

"I trust your passing vision.

After hearing Lu Yu's words, the madman was very happy.

"Next time I'll pass the basketball around."

When Lu Yu saw the virtue of a madman, he felt very disrespectful.

You have to pour some chicken soup on this guy so he can listen to you properly.

Supersonic here.

Eddie Johnson on the Madman defense, with Shawn Kemp on the pick-and-roll.

After the pick-and-roll, Eddie Johnson accelerated to break through inside.

Suddenly stopped the jumper and shot with a backward range.

swish!

Go in.

Looking back, on the Lakers side, Lu Yu was double-teamed and gave the ball to the madman again.

When the Madman catches the ball, the Sonics' defensive system rotates.

Derek McKay, who was defending Ellie, immediately went to defend the madman.

When the madman saw McKay coming to help defend, he first dropped the ball and made a breakthrough.

Let McKay's defense come over more quickly.

But during the breakthrough of the dribble, he suddenly grabbed the basketball, and a pass from behind threw the basketball to the bottom corner.

"Damn it! He's so handsome!"

After seeing the pass from the madman, Danny Yang immediately had a box in front of his eyes.

Ellie in the bottom corner also lived up to the madman's pass.

After receiving the ball, the jumper is released.

swish!

Steady in.

"Wow! No-Look-Pass!!"

"A no-look pass from Sprewell."

"The Lakers really played more and more relaxed today."

"Lu Yu getting double-teamed? It's okay, our other points can also beat the Sonics' defense.

"The Lakers players, the passing is really good."

"Lu Yu, James Worthy, Sprewell, Divac..."

"They are good at using all kinds of passes to bring everyone a pleasing attack!"

"This is the real Show-Time!"

In the second quarter of the game, the Sonics still failed to interfere enough with the Lakers.

At the end of halftime, the Lakers led the Sonics by 14 points with a score of 64 to 50.

The game came to the third quarter.

After the third quarter, the Lakers changed the game mode of the first half.

In the first half of the game, Lu Yu basically played the ball when he encountered a double team.

Let others handle it.

But now, Lu Yu started to play off the ball.

"Damn it! Shit!"

When I saw Lu Yu start to move without the ball.

George Karl immediately cursed.

Because during the intermission just now, George Karl made a defensive arrangement for the first half of the game...

As a result, as soon as the third quarter started, the Lakers immediately changed their offensive mode in the first half.

Does this not make George Karl angry?

All his halftime arrangements are useless!

On the Lakers side, Wei sits on the bench like Xiao Zhuxia.

Hmph, I didn't expect it, did our old Deng's tactical arrangement exceed your expectations?

Of course, Dunleavy has to thank Lu Yu very much.

Because looking at the entire league, there are only two people who can switch between playing with the ball and without the ball.

One is Lu Yu and the other is Jordan.

In the entire league, there are only two teams that can achieve results in these two tactical systems.

One is the Lakers, Japan is not public.

Other teams, or the team's ability to play without the ball is not enough.

Otherwise, there will be no powerful second player who can't hold the ball to solve the problem when the big player is double-teamed.

Or it is the lack of an inside setter point, unable to play and cooperate.

In the entire league, only the Lakers and Bulls have such configurations!

Jordan switched with and without the ball.

Pippen acts as the second master, who can do all offense, defense, and organization.

Also inside is Horace Grant.

Lakers here.

Lu Yu switched with the ball and without the ball.

James Worthy is the second player, and when Lu Yu is double-teamed, he can stabilize the situation.

At the same time, there is such an inside support point as Divac.

The second master is easy to find.

It is also easy to find the inside line support point.

However, can have the ball

The master of off-ball switching is so f*cking hard to find!

Especially off the ball, the requirements for players' tactical literacy, tacit understanding with teammates, and personal ability to catch and shoot are very high.

Even a player like Ah Hua, who is half a step behind Jordan, is almost meaningless off the ball.

In the third quarter of the game, Lu Yu used his off-ball running position to tear the Supersonic defense to pieces.

5 of 7 shots in a single quarter, 2 of 4 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws.

He only scored 8 points in the first half of the game.

But in the third quarter, they directly scored 14 points.

At the end of the third quarter, the personal data came to 22 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 steals.

The Lakers are 92 to 75, leading by 17 points.

George Karl at the end of the third quarter.

I feel like my brain hurts a bit.

Because he felt that he had been led by the nose by Dunleavy.

At the end of the third quarter, Levy came to Lu Yu with a towel and Gatorade.

"Come on, take a good rest, give the Sonics a fatal blow in the fourth quarter!"

This is an old Dunleavy tradition.

The coach hands the players towels and water. Doesn't this reflect the good relationship between the coach and the players?

This is normal, right?

Madman: My relationship with the coach is not bad, why didn't the coach pass it to me?

After a short break, the fourth quarter began.

Then Lu Yu suddenly realized that he didn't need to play since 4.2......

Because during the rotation period, Danny Yang, who came off the bench, suddenly broke out.

Danny Yang scored 5 points in a row with shots from inside and outside.

In one fell swoop, the point difference was widened to 22 points.

Then he assisted Worthy with a reverse running cut, and the point difference came to 24 points in an instant!

Looking at the situation on the field, Dunleavy turned to Lu Yu and said, "Lu, I think you can now think about your speech after the game.

This means that Lu Yu should not need to play in the future.

After half a quarter of the game, the Lakers kept the point difference at 20 points.

The Supersonics have no hope of chasing points.

In the end, the score was fixed at 110 to 90.

The Lakers beat the Sonics by 20 points in Game 3!

Lu Yu played the whole game and played 30 minutes.

With 8 of 12 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws, he efficiently scored 22 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 steals.

Madman scored 20 points, Worthy scored 22 points, and three of the team scored more than 20 points.

All played well.

After the game, the madman was very happy.

The 20 points in the playoffs are worth much more than the 20 points in the regular season.

And he said to Danny Young: "Did I play well today?"

"I've become one of the pillars of the team!"

Danny Yang glanced at the madman and said, "But don't forget, I was the one who killed the suspense of the game!"

"Without my 5 points and 1 assist, can we win the game?"

"Then I would like to ask, did I play the 17-point lead?" Madman retorted.

"It wasn't you, it was Lu Yu who typed it." Danny Yang said.

"Hmm..." The madman pondered for a moment, "You're right.
