Chapter 132 If you are fierce, the opponent will be afraid
After Lu Yu hung up the phone, he was wondering who the female celebrity next door was?
According to Anne Hathaway's description, the female star next door has a pair of clear eyes, like gems, and long golden hair. Anne is very envious. She has always wanted to have such a hair color.
Women's concerns are never the same as men's.
Men don't pay attention to strange things like eye and hair color. Finally, through Lu Yu's roundabout exploration, Lu Yu got some of the information he wanted.
The female star is about five centimeters taller than Anne.
Anne is about 173cm. The female star is about five centimeters taller than Anne, which means her height is at least 177 to 178. If Anne calls the other party sister, it means that the other party is older than Anne. If she does not call her aunt, it means that she is not special.
many.
Who on earth is it?
Annie didn't say the other person's name, and Lu Yu didn't ask.
Early the next morning, Lu Yu flew back to Chicago with Cartwright, along with Trenton Hassell. However, Amin and Lampley did not show up, indicating that the team had already explained to them the disagreement.
Will sign a contract.
Lu Yu was not surprised. Amin had obvious shortcomings, while Lampley had no advantages.
Although Trenton Hassell also has the shortcomings of average offensive strength, his defense, especially the ability to defend the top scorers of other teams on the front line, has been recognized by Cartwright.
As soon as he got off the plane, Lu Yu found two missed calls on his mobile phone.
One is Wang Zhizhi and the other is Ding Shizhong.
Lu Yu got into the taxi going home and drove back to Wang Zhizhi first.
"Lu Yu, guess where I am now?" Wang Zhizhi said excitedly on the phone.
Lu Yu rolled his eyes: "I'm afraid you're not a fool. The number you called was an American number. You must be back."
"Ah, I forgot about where the number belongs."
However, it is obvious that Lu Yu's blow did not make Wang Zhizhi disappointed. Instead, he said even more excitedly: "I have arrived in Dallas. I have met with head coach Tang today. Next, I will participate in the team's joint training. I originally thought
I will miss the team training due to the Universiade next month, but it seems I don’t have to worry now.”
The NBA preseason will only start in October, but before starting, the team will practice together for a period of time.
This time is the best time for the team's official players to integrate into the team, understand the team's style of play, and get along with their teammates. It is even more important than the summer league.
After all, the summer league is a stage prepared for players who can't play in the NBA or rookie players.
Although it is a pity that Wang Zhizhi missed the summer league because of the Asian Championships, the impact is not big.
Wang Zhizhi in Lu Yu's previous life missed the joint training with the Mavericks because of the Universiade. This was the biggest impact on his career. After he returned to the team, there was not much time left for him to get familiar with the team. Naturally, Don Nelson did not dare
Leave important game time to him.
The trust in Wang Zhizhi was naturally greatly reduced.
What's more, Wang Zhizhi often takes leave to play games in the middle of the season, which minimizes the possibility of the Mavericks renewing his contract.
Although the Mavericks really want the Chinese market, they are a playoff team and cannot waste their roster on a player who cannot help the team.
Of course, Wang Zhizhi didn’t type either.
"What excuse did you use to sneak out?" Lu Yu asked.
Wang Zhizhi lowered his voice mysteriously: "Of course it was the excuse you taught me. I said my wife was pregnant."
"You didn't betray me, did you?"
"No, by the way, Coach Wang Fei asked me to tell you...well, don't try to counterattack next time."
Wang Zhizhi was a little embarrassed. After all, it was embarrassing to be exposed in person.
But what he didn't know was that Wang Fei approved it. After all, Lu Yu Zhuyu was in front, and Wang Zhizhi had to approve it for a reasonable reason. Of course, the premise was that he reported Wang Zhizhi's request to the Basketball Association. The leaders of the Basketball Association were angry.
It's green, but this reason is so impeccable, even more formal than Lu Yu's reason.
You must know that Lu Yu said he was injured, but he still appeared in the NBA Summer League and broke a series of records.
The Basketball Association can only pretend it didn’t see it.
Wang Zhizhi's reason for asking for leave is different. His wife is pregnant, and the country still supports maternity leave. Although it is not yet time to give birth, people can't help but love their wives. If something goes wrong with my wife and child, will the Basketball Association be responsible for giving birth to her?
So although reluctantly, the Basketball Association agreed with Wang Zhizhi's reasons.
And immediately asked the staff below to issue a document clearly stipulating the rules for players to ask for leave.
Lu Yu just wanted to say that if there are no regulations for asking for leave, I still have to make up excuses. With the regulations for asking for leave, I can just apply according to the regulations. There are policies from above, and there are always countermeasures from below.
"Then you should work hard with the team during this period of time, practice your defensive steps more, and if it doesn't work, be more aggressive." Lu Yu warned, but said nothing more.
Playing basketball really depends on the individual.
Everyone's playing style is different, especially offensively. Wang Zhizhi likes to play outside, which is actually a bit contrary to the needs of the Mavericks, because in this era when centers are in power, there is no so-called small ball game now, and the center is not on the basket.
It's unbelievable to score three points on offense.
Fortunately, Don Nelson's run-and-gun tactics allow him to cut in less and cut outside more, opening up space for three-pointers, giving full play to his shooting ability and indirectly covering up his shortcomings.
What worries Lu Yu most is his defensive problem.
Wang Zhizhi's defense is basically subpar for the center position.
The Mavericks' Lafrentz's offensive style of play is roughly similar, relying on long-range three-pointers, good defensive hardness, and good shot blocking. His strength, footwork, and explosiveness are average in all aspects, not to mention outstanding. This is now a standard second-rate insider.
One level worse, the third-rate player is the coolie Najera on the bench. His height, technical strength, and athletic ability are mediocre, but he only has a life-threatening mad dog attitude.
The general defensive level is considered to be fourth-rate at the NBA level, but not so good to say that it is not top-notch.
Lu Yu told him that if it doesn't work, then be more aggressive. This is because when the defensive ability is not good, being more aggressive will be beneficial.
The more aggressive you are, the more scared your opponents will be.
Let’s talk about his technical characteristics. It is said that Da Zhi has excellent touch and solid footsteps, but these things actually need to be supported by a strong body.
Against the smaller CBA, Da Zhi's physique is completely sufficient. In addition, he is one of the core members of the team, so his skills and statistics are very good.
But when you get to the NBA, you will find that this is not the case at all. As a 216cm inside man, he moves slowly and has poor confrontation. He has no advantage at all in the inside competition and is prone to deformation even when he makes moves.
His only chance is to seize the opportunity when Nash is still with the Mavericks and Don Nelson is still obsessed with running and gun tactics, and integrate into the team as soon as possible.
Therefore, it is particularly important for him to get in touch with the team in advance.
After Lu Yu hung up the phone, he looked at the scenery outside the car window and fell into deep thought. After a long time, he sighed leisurely. Whether he could make the call or not might only depend on Wang Zhizhi himself.
I have done everything I should and can do.
Lu Yu cut off his thoughts, picked up his cell phone and dialed Ding Shizhong's number.
After the phone beeped twice, the call was connected.
"Hey, Mr. Ding, I'm sorry, I just got off the plane."
Lu Yu first explained something to Ding Shizhong, but Ding Shizhong's words on the other side made him stunned for a moment.
"What, the signature sneakers I designed are ready and sent over again?"
Why again?
