NBA: I just want to play soy sauce, you let me win the championship

Chapter 93
Sloan's substitute plan ran into big trouble at the beginning of the second quarter.

The person who caused him such trouble was a person he had never expected - Lu Yuanzhi.

In Sloan's plan, Turkoglu exploded, Bobby Jackson assaulted the inside, and even Webb stayed on the court to defend Marshall and played with a substitute.

But he did not expect that Lu Yuanzhi would become a problem for the Jazz.

In the records of four games, Lu Yuanzhi gave him the impression that he was a defensive warrior, but he never expected that Lu Yuanzhi not only developed the ability to shoot three-pointers, but also used his body to attack without the ball. .

It's a bit uncomfortable to be true.

Now, Quincy - Lewis is no longer suitable to stay on the court, he has become a breakthrough for the Kings.

As long as he's on the court for a second, the Kings will be watching him.

This is the playoffs, you can't show your flaws, otherwise, others will stare at your flaws and attack violently, which is really "tearing the wound".

Scanning his own bench, Sloan found that there was indeed no substitute player suitable to step up at this time.

Helpless, Sloan could only wake up Russell, who had just sat for a while, and let him prepare to play.

Russell is 32 years old, and it is the end of a player's peak period. In the past two years, he averaged more than 14 points per game in the playoffs, which is an important scoring point for the team. Sloan originally wanted to save it for critical moments.

But now, I can't wait anymore. It's still the rookie Max who is using off-ball offense to beat Lewis. If the Kings use the pick-and-roll and substitute to single-play Lewis, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Sloan didn't simply plug Lewis' loophole. The two attacks just now were all off-ball attacks by Lu Yuanzhi, and Webb, who stayed on the court, didn't expend too much energy at all.

If Webber cannot be forced to play singles during the rotation and consume his energy, then even if Malone comes back, the Jazz will not be able to take advantage.

Seeing Russell playing, Lu Yuanzhi grabbed Turkoglu, "Xido, on the defensive end, you go to defend Russell, and I'll go to guard Kirilenko."

Turkoglu looked at Lu Yuanzhi a little strangely, what is this for?
"Kirilenko's hand is not going well today, I can relax his perimeter a little bit," Lu Yuanzhi explained to Turkoglu, "In this way, I can put more energy into assisting defense."

Turkoglu immediately understood, is this going to start the raid mode again?

Very good, I like it very much!
This kind of feeling that someone behind you can fill the seat at any time is really reassuring!
Lu Yuanzhi hit the extra penalty.

The Jazz attacked, and Marshall continued to play pick-and-roll with Stockton. This time, the blocking effect was better. Bobby Jackson was completely blocked. Webber had no choice but to switch to Stockton.

Weber was not a slow-footed big man inside, and Stockton didn't have the confidence to complete the small-to-big game. At this time, Marshall cut inside very smartly. Stockton passed the ball directly to Marshall.

Seeing Marshall rushing up, Pollard, who was fighting for a position with Ostertag, immediately came to help defend and blocked Marshall.

Marshall made an inside pass and gave the ball to Ostertag, who was unguarded under the basket.

Nice fit!
Sloan couldn't help punching!
This is the offense I want!

But the next moment, the smile froze on Sloan's face, and Lu Yuanzhi quickly came back from the outside to defend, and gave the unsuspecting Ostertag a big hat.

The ball bounced out to the outside line, Webb controlled the ball, and quickly played it to Bobby Jackson who was running.

Stockton tried to tug on Bobby Jackson's jersey behind him, but Bobby Jackson, who had already picked up speed, was not affected at all and dunked easily.

17: 23!

The Kings opened the score.

The smile will not disappear, it will only come from one person to another.

The moment Sloan's smile froze, Adelman smiled brightly.

As early as when he saw the Jazz's starting lineup, Adelman expected that Sloan would like to rely on Marshall to do things in the rotation, but he didn't panic at all.

You only have one Marshall, I have Max Lu, I have Turkoglu, I have Pollard, I have Bobby Jackson.

You want to compete with me as a substitute, how do you fight?
At this time, Adelman couldn't help feeling, if the media in Sacramento hadn't made an attack, how could he have realized that there are so many talented young people under his command?
Well done!

Well done!

If he hadn't encountered such a shitty thing in the first half of the season, he would be the one sitting on the coach's bench in disgrace now!
Adelman glanced triumphantly at Sloan on the other side of the court, secretly laughing in his heart.

On the other hand, realizing that Lu Yuanzhi was very active in defending today, the wily Stojakovic fed Kirilenko a few good shots.

They all took advantage of the gap when Lu Yuanzhi went to help defend.

But today Kirilenko didn't know if he was too excited, or he was a little nervous in the playoffs for the first time, and all of his open shots fell out of the basket.

On the Kings side, they kept scoring goals.

The score soon came to 20:29, and the Kings' lead was about to reach double figures.

The time has come to the 3 minutes of the second quarter. Sloan has no choice but to smile bitterly, and the plan to fight for the bench is declared bankrupt. He can only replace the main players, leave Marshall on the field, and partner with Malone inside.

When Ma Long came on stage, he stared at Lu Yuanzhi, boy, did you make me look bad just now?

Then, you'd better pray that your coach can replace you soon, otherwise I will make you look good!

Lu Yuanzhi knew nothing about the situation he was going to face next.

Because of his excellent performance on both offense and defense during the rotation phase, Lu Yuanzhi was left on the field.

Adelman feels that there is no need to let Stojakovic play today. He is still a little worried about the Yugoslavian's injury and mental state.

Not everyone can continue to play in the fierce playoffs as if nothing happened after suffering such an elbow.

As for Stojakovic's playing time, it can be divided between Lu Yuanzhi and Turkoglu. Both young players performed well today and successfully completed the rotation task.

On the offensive end of the Kings, Lu Yuanzhi felt very good. With the help of a screen, after throwing off Kirilenko, he rushed into the inside again, and Divac's pass was passed in a very timely manner.

There was only Marshall under the basket. Lu Yuanzhi was not afraid of this insider who had no advantage in height and weight. He stepped on the line of the penalty area and was ready to take off and dunk.

At this moment, Ma Long, who was pulled to the outside line by Divac, quickly turned around with hatred in his eyes.

Boy, let me catch you!
Ma Long directly defended from the side, seemingly blocking the shot, but in fact his big elbow was raised high, and he swung it at Lu Yuanzhi's face!
Lu Yuanzhi didn't pay attention, and was directly hit on the face by this elbow, as if he opened a sauce shop, salty, sour, and spicy all came out!
The person also fell heavily from the sky, and landed straight on the ground.

Lu Yuanzhi's last thought was, "Fuck! He was plotted!"
