"What did you say?" Larry asked.

"I said that they should not carry out their ruse!" Luke said.

"Do you have a solution?" Larry asked.

"It's not a problem with my approach, it's a question of when I'm going to play!" Luke asked.

"This ......," Larry looked at the situation on the field. We'll have to wait for a while! ”

"How long will it take?" Luke asked.

"At least wait until the bench is in the bench window!" "That's my fourth point to you, protecting the star: the league's first house rule," Larry said. ”

"I know this!" Luke said. "The protection of the stars is to keep them from getting hurt and not finding a clause for infringement!"

"It's not just that!" "There's more to it than that." Know those super quality defensive players? ”

"You know, like Bobby Jones, Don Bas are these!" Luke said.

"You know them, yes, yes." Larry said. 'They're very good role defenders. They have a reputation as "star finishers", and those superstars are often made crazy by their defense. But people don't pay a lot of money to see these role players play, they come in out of their pockets to see these super players score 40 or 50 points. Basketball pundits and coaches love great defense, but the NBA and fans just want superstars to score more points. So when the referee is preparing for the game, there will be secrets. Over the years, I've watched countless films about them, and I've analyzed the fouls they have eaten. It was found that they rarely really broke the rules, and most of the time it was the referee who did it!

And if a super player gets two fouls in the first or second quarter, one of the referees will tell the other two: "XX has two fouls, if we have to blow him for a foul next, it's definitely very obvious to blow, if it's a bit chaotic, his foul will be given to someone else." And if someone "touches" the super player at this point, then the referees will blow the whistle and let the super player take a free throw. Anyway, they're going to keep the stars on the pitch. Do you know? ”

"What are you telling me for?" Luke asked.

"Don't you understand? The league needs stars to back up the pitch. And the best players on the field are the ones the referees protect. And now is not the time for you to play, it is time for both sides to come off the bench, and that is the time for you to play your ideas, your methods! Now you need to be patient! Larry said.

"Understood. Instructor! "Finished. Luke sat down. Put on your coat and quietly wait for your chance.

Opportunity is for those who are prepared. Luke has been waiting. Waiting for their chance. The first quarter was over, and neither side made any substitutions to the starters, still letting them play on the court. The second quarter was the same, knowing that in the last three minutes of the second quarter, the Lakers replaced the players one after another to rest and save their strength. In this way, Larry also waved his hand and asked the 76ers players to come down and rest. "Luke, your chance has come, take advantage of it!" Larry said as he stood beside Luke.

"No problem! Instructor! Luke took off his coat and prepared to play.

Luke has hardly played this kind of scene as a substitute, and he rarely faces the Lakers' bench, and now at a glance, some of them can't be named. However, the backcourt player is Ron Haber, who knows this, and the center is Hores Grant. The man on the guard line, Brian Shaw, is said to have spent time with the Philadelphia 76ers, but played 20 games and left. Isiah Ryder is not bad, can score, can defend. There is also a white striker named Stanislav Medvedenko, who is 2.08 meters tall. This one is completely soy sauce, wasting his height of 2.08 in vain.

It's simpler on the 76ers' side. Reed, Luke, Bryan, Tyrone Hill, and Ocella Hanington, compared to the Lakers' uneven lineup, the 76ers can start on many small teams.

In the face of this lineup, the 76ers did not relax, but Luke said it before he came on the court; "Brothers, wait a minute, I may have to fight alone, you have to take care of it!"

"It's okay, Luke, vote for yourself!" Reid said.

"yes, it's okay!" Tyrone Hill said.

"You don't have to say that!" Ocella Hanington, who has been a vocal player for a while, said.

"Then I'll hit it?" Luke said.

"No problem!"

Back on the court, Luke found a way to beat the Lakers - three-pointers.

More than 30 years ago, the NBA decided to draw a three-point line on the court, which was 22 feet (6.71 meters) from the baseline and 23 feet 9 inches (7.24 meters) from the top of the arc. Since then, three-point shooting has revolutionized the NBA game. Three-point shooting originated in the American Basketball League (ABL, 1961-63) and was later adopted by the ABA (1967-76), while the NBA did not officially introduce the three-point shooting mechanism until the 1979-80 season, when three-point shooting was only a "regular season experiment". This new approach to shooting had a huge impact on the NBA, and by 1980-81 the NBA had fully embraced the three-point system, with only minor changes in 1994-95 and 1995-96, when the three-point line was 22 feet apart.

And why is the three-point shot called his three-point shot? As the name suggests, throwing such a ball can get three points.

Ordinary shots can only score two points, and even if they are fouled by an opponent, they can only score three points at most. But it's quite cost-effective to get three points with such a shot, and it's possible to score four points after being fouled! What a way to do it! However, it is not very simple to work.

As we all know, on the basketball court, the closer you are to the basket, the easier it is to score goals, and the farther away you are, the harder it is to score goals. Three-point shooting is very particular about the feel, but the real feel is almost cultivated by continuous shooting training every day, for a professional athlete, a day of not training and not shooting means that their hand feeling declines and has to pay more days to make up for the gap of this day. The aiming point of the three-point shot is generally the long-distance point of the basket, and the height of the basket is generally high, almost the higher the better, and when shooting, you must consciously shoot high and grasp the angle. Nowitzki's personal trainer Holger has been interviewed that almost every shooting coach calculates a perfect shooting arc for his players (at least that's what Holger did, and Nowitzki's accurate shooting is a fact), and ESPN concludes that the arc should start at an angle of about 48 degrees. For example, Ray? Aaron's shot angle is always between 46 and 50 degrees, without exception. With just 2 degrees of swing, Ray Allen has always been able to shoot the perfect curve in the game, and that's the secret to his three-point shot.

And all Luke is doing now is shooting threes. Time is running out, Luke is hurrying!

Now that Bryan is on the court, Luke has been deployed at the shooting guard position. The three-point shot became the main factor for the team to score, and as the main item for the team to score points, the shooting guard was called the Shootingguard (SG). Shooting guards also have a fair number of players of this type in the circle, and players in this position need to create their own opportunities to fight for the main tiebreaker points for the team, and the number of successes is more important than the success rate.

However, the opponent is Brian Shaw, and this should not be a big problem.

Although Brian Shaw is unremarkable, Luke knows some secrets.

He has appeared four times in the NBA Finals. These were the Magic in 1994-95 and the Lakers in 1999-2000, 2000-01 and 2001-02, and won the NBA championship three years in a row with the Lakers. Shaw retired after the 2002-03 season and was designated assistant coach for the Lakers in 2004-05. Shaw vs. Shaquille? O'Neal is a close friend, and the two have a good relationship from the Magic to the Lakers, and he and O'Neal often have wonderful aerial performances, which are called "Shaw-Shaq Redemption" by Magic and Lakers fans.

And he doesn't lack a big heart either. Shaw represented the U.S. national team at the 1986 World Championships, hitting a three-pointer at a crucial moment in the gold medal race to give the U.S. a narrow two-point advantage over the former Soviet Union.

Although this is not a big problem for Luke, Luke is also not willing to take risks, and now every additional risk increases the odds of the 76ers losing, and Luke does not want to do this.

So Luke got the ball from Reed and started to play carefully.

Brian Shaw, of course, knew how good Luke was, so he immediately came up and forced Luke to protect the ball with his back.

But Luke also knew the opportunity had come! (To be continued......)
