Chapter 47
Lu Yuanzhi came on in dead time, replaced Turkoglu, and went straight to Nowitzki.

I really can't blame the Kings coaching staff for swinging him to the fourth position.

Look at the strikers of last year's best team, first team forward Chris Webber + Tim Duncan, second team forward Tracy McGrady + Kevin Garnett, third team forward Dirk Nowitz Base + Karl Malone, is there a serious small forward?
McGrady said that he is an attacking guard, after all, "four shooting guards".

The remaining 5 are all power forwards!
Those who are not on the list include Jermaine O'Neal, Rasheed Wallace, Kenyon Martin, and Paul Gasol, Zach Randolph, who will gradually play out later, and will participate next year Amare Stoudemire in the draft, blah blah blah.

The beginning of the 21st century is the most star-studded moment for power forwards.

It can be said that there is no one before, or there may be no one since.

Lu Yuanzhi is 7 centimeters shorter than Nowitzki, but he is not worried about this height difference. Before Nowitzki developed the golden rooster independence, he was most afraid of the defender who moves fast and has strong lower limbs.

What's more, Lu Yuanzhi has two big long arms, standing up and touching the height is not a disadvantage, and it will cause greater interference to Nowitzki's shooting.

The Kings didn't score in this attack, and Lu Yuanzhi retreated into place early. He adopted a move that few people used to defend Nowitzki at this time - sticking to the defense.

Don't ask, the question is that Lu Yuanzhi has watched Marion defend Nowitzki.

Nowitzki was about to get the ball at this time, and he was still wary of Lu Yuanzhi, who had just replaced him.

Can we not be vigilant?A third person has been replaced to defend, but he is still somewhat capable.

But he has never encountered Lu Yuanzhi's defense before.

As a 213cm big man, Nowitzki often faces off against the opponent's power forwards and even centers. These people are inevitably slow in their steps, and they are afraid of being passed by him in one step, and they want to take three steps back. How could he come up so close to him like this rookie?

Nowitzki bent down and tentatively made a big loop. Lu Yuanzhi withdrew his hand on Nowitzki's body with great interest.

In fact, he didn't have to shrink back, because the people at this time hadn't learned Harden's trick, and directly clamped the defender's hand, and then took off to shoot and fouled.

Yes, a simple big loop is actually very uncomfortable for the defender, because when the ball comes below the circle, the offensive player can choose to dribble and break through, or choose to clamp the defender and put it on himself The hand takes off and draws a foul.

But the moment you retract your hand, a good shooter will seize this gap again and directly score a jumper.

This scene is familiar, right? It’s not Harden who plays the giant swing the most smoothly, but Melon Carmelo Anthony. The giant swing is a very important weapon in his colorful arsenal.

But Nowitzki's big loop is not as threatening as Anthony, because Nowitzki's movement speed is far slower than Anthony.

The moment Lu Yuanzhi withdrew his hand, Nowitzki had the urge to jump directly, but the next moment, Lu Yuanzhi opened his hand again.

The ball has been in Nowitzki's hands for a while, and he is not a cancer who loves to do it alone. He has long used his peripheral vision to observe the movements on the court, to see if his teammates have a good opportunity, and he can pass the ball.

The players of the Kings trust Lu Yuanzhi's defense very much. This idiot has nothing else to do. He really has a good defense, and he has also received guidance from defensive expert Christie. Now he is becoming more and more mature on the defensive end.

Because of this trust, none of the Kings players wanted to come over to defend or flank, staring at their defenders, and Bradley was too thin to provide high-quality cover for his teammates.

No way, Nowitzki can only return the ball to Nash who came out.

Lu Yuanzhi seemed to have done nothing, but directly destroyed the Mavericks' offensive organization.

Turkoglu slapped his thigh on the court, why didn’t I think of pressing him?I'm not afraid of Nowitzki's footsteps either!
After Nowitzki handed the ball over, he began to set up pick-and-rolls for his teammates and provide off-ball screens.

Generally speaking, Nowitzki is an excellent pick-and-roll man. He has height, can cut directly to the basket and attack the basket, and he can also shoot and pull out for jumpers. He is very threatening.

But after doing a pick and roll for Nash, Nowitzki found that No. 77 in front of him was extremely annoying.

Nowitzki's size is here, and his pick-and-roll quality is good. Bibby was basically blocked by him. Nash was about to break into the basket, but Lu Yuanzhi took a step ahead and blocked his offensive line.

Nash knew that if he continued to go around at this time, Bibby would be able to catch up again. At this time, he would either force Lu Yuanzhi, or return the ball to Nowitzki.

This time, Nash chose to return the ball to Nowitzki. After blocking the ball, Nowitzki immediately opened the ball.

Nash's pass was very good, hitting Nowitzki's chest hard, allowing him to launch an offense as soon as he received the ball.

But at this moment, Lu Yuanzhi took two big steps and returned to Nowitzki.

So fast?
Nowitzki was startled, this No. 77 doesn't look short, he is more than 2 meters tall, and he moves so fast?
If he knew that Lu Yuanzhi had guarded against McGrady, he would not be so surprised.

Nowitzki is in a dilemma at this time. If he chooses to attack the basket at this time, Lu Yuanzhi, who is already in a defensive position, will greatly interfere with his shooting.

But if he stabilizes and organizes an attack again at this time, the time is not enough. After the first two attack attempts, the remaining attack time is less than 2 seconds, and there is no way to run another tactic.

Nowitzki chose the third way, he broke through with the ball.

When Lu Yuanzhi strode back to Nowitzki, he inevitably made way for Nowitzki to break through.

Break me?

Lu Yuanzhi wanted to laugh when he saw Nowitzki's offensive choice. Just your speed?

Lu Yuanzhi exerted force with his right leg, accelerated and reattached to Nowitzki, and began to fight with Nowitzki with his body, preventing him from cutting inside and forcing him to dribble outside.

Damn, why is this power so powerful!
Nowitzki couldn't go to the basket at all, but he didn't want to go to the basket in the first place. He made a sudden stop and shot a jump shot with a considerable amount of backwards.

Seeing Nowitzki's feet off the ground, Lu Yuanzhi also jumped up to block the shot after confirming that it was not a fake move. With his excellent bullet speed and long arms, he quickly blocked Nowitzki in front of him.

Damn, why jump so fast!

Nowitzki had no choice but to temporarily increase the arc in order to avoid being blocked. The ball barely missed Lu Yuanzhi's block and flew toward the basket.

"Dangdang!"

Nowitzki's shot, which was greatly disturbed, hit the basket's neck hard, and was then firmly accepted by Divac.

Nowitzki waved his hand angrily, and suddenly realized, what about people?Where did the people who just defended me go?

 For newcomers and new books, the opening data is very important to me. Please collect, follow up, recommend tickets, and monthly tickets. This will allow more people to read this book and give me more motivation as the author. Thank you all up!
