There is no jump ball, the substitute team kicks off directly.
Guyton dribbled the ball past half-court, and glanced at Lu Yu, who was positioned at a 45-degree angle. Lu Yu thought he would give the ball to him, and just stretched out his hand, but was embarrassed to find that Guyton had passed the ball to him.
Artest in the corner.
Guyton then ran to cover Charles Oakley.
Oakley was stunned for a moment, because Chandler, this year's No. 4 pick, was already standing on that side. He ran over to the strong side and it became a bit too crowded.
Oakley did not move to the strong side, but took a step back to block Hoiberg who was defending Lu Yu.
Lu Yu directly penetrated into the basket. Artest had quick eyes and quick hands and passed the ball immediately. Lu Yu hit a mid-range jumper and scored the first goal of the training game.
Cartwright and Floyd looked at each other on the sidelines.
They stood on the sidelines and could see more clearly, so they naturally understood what Guyton was thinking. However, Guyton was still too immature, and compared with the experienced Oakley, his ability to observe words and emotions was far behind.
Floyd and Cartwright had previously discussed what position Lu Yu should play. Although Cartwright always wanted Lu Yu to play shooting guard, the two finally reached a consensus. As far as the current Bulls lineup is concerned, Lu Yu should
Taking control of the overall situation from the position of point guard, now all he needs is an opportunity for Lu Yu to legitimately become the team's point guard.
they just don't know,
Will this opportunity appear in the team's training match, or will it appear in the preseason more than a month later.
Brad Miller struggled with Chandler in the paint. Chandler obviously couldn't handle the big white bear. After being pushed to the basket by the big white bear, Chandler easily scored.
Artest is still lurking in the bottom corner.
His IQ has never been high, and he didn't see anything wrong at all.
Jiang is still old and hot. Oakley noticed something was wrong from the first round when Guyton gave him a pick-and-roll. His eyes glanced back and forth between Guyton and Lu Yu.
In this round, Guyton directed Lu Yu and Chandler to fall on the weak side.
Then he played a small coordination with Oakley and Artest, and Guyton succeeded in a layup.
He waved his fists excitedly.
It seems that the hard training this summer was not in vain. Bryce Drew obviously failed to keep up with him in the round just now. He even felt that he had hope of ousting Drew from the starting position in the middle of the season.
After all, Drew's level isn't that great either.
The two sides went back and forth and played for five or six minutes. During these five or six minutes, except for two points from mid-range on an air cut in the first round, Lu Yu did not even touch the ball the rest of the time.
A fellow sufferer is Tyson Chandler.
However, Chandler worked hard and got two rebounds, two second attack opportunities, and scored two goals.
Trenton Hassell, who was sitting off the court, was puzzled.
"Lu Yu... doesn't seem to be as strong as he thought..." He murmured to himself.
Jamal Crawford, who was sitting next to him, smiled and shook his head: "How many balls have you seen Lu Yu catch?"
"If he doesn't have the ball, won't he rebound?" Hassell asked.
Crawford looked at the two coaches who were frowning and said: "The interior of the two teams on the field is already crowded enough. Even if Lu Yu rushes into the interior, he may not be able to grab the rebound. Even if he does,
The rebound must be passed out as soon as possible to reorganize the offense, and the basketball cannot be in his hands yet."
"Ah, this is..."
Hassell wanted to say that this was bullying newcomers, but Crawford is also an old player, and no matter how stupid he is, he knows that it is inappropriate to say such things.
"Are you trying to bully the newcomers?"
Crawford laughed and said: "Actually not really, Guyton just doesn't believe in the newcomers, but he may have made a mistake."
"What's up?"
"He is not the core player of the team and he has no right to make decisions."
Crawford's expression suddenly became serious.
In the past few years since he entered the league, he has been playing as a substitute, so he knows that as a substitute player, he can strive for a starting position, but he must not decide who is the starting player for the coach.
On the court, Oakley also saw head coach Floyd's frown.
This time he took the initiative to mention catching the ball from the top arc. Guyton saw this and handed the ball to Oakley with confidence. Although the substitute team was lagging behind now, that was only because he had two rookies with him.
If there were not two rookie players holding him back, he believed he would have won long ago.
Because the three of him and Oakley Artest were able to hold on to the opponent's five main players, they were only less than ten points behind.
Only ten points behind!
Is he proud?
Is he proud?
He...he noticed that Lu Yu started to direct his teammates to move.
After Oakley caught the ball, he signaled Lu Yu to come over and handed the ball to Lu Yu. Lu Yu originally wanted to break through Hoiberg directly, but thought of Chandler who had the same problem, so he decided
Changed my mind.
Although he is still controlling the ball, he is already analyzing and thinking quickly in his mind. As a qualified professional player, he must know something about his teammates. Fortunately, Snoopy has helped collect information about his teammates in the past few days.
material.
Ron Artest, 22 years old, the 16th overall pick in 1999, is 201cm tall and weighs 110kg. He is a small forward. Characteristics: excellent one-on-one defense, high fighting spirit, outstanding strength and speed.
Stealing ability and first-class defensive skills.
Disadvantages: Single scoring method. In addition to stable mid-range shots and three-pointers, he is best at dribbling the ball into the penalty area. He lacks changes and often relies on the high-intensity advantage of physical confrontation to suppress the opponent's position to gain opportunities for layups or dunks. Skills
The timing and timing of the attack are slightly poor.
His actions are sometimes harmful, his personality is impulsive...well, and his IQ is not high.
Abbreviation: Silly Tai.
Charles Oakley, 38 years old, height 203cm, weight 111kg, position as power forward, characteristics: tough and fierce playing style, fierce rebounding, in his view, his own inside line must not give up an inch, while the opponent's inside line must not give up any ground.
Every inch of ground must be fought for. Oakley's capital for executing this creed of the game is his strong physique, flying elbows and constant small movements.
The disadvantages are: There are no shortcomings. You really can't ask too much of a 38-year-old veteran.
It is enough to have such a big brother who can help you out when conflicts arise.
Tyson Chandler, 19 years old, height 216cm, weight 100kg, position as center, characteristics: Although he is still very thin at this time, he has excellent mobility and tough style of play, which is in sharp contrast to his shy personality.
What's important is that Chandler's awareness of assisting defense is also very good, allowing his teammates to safely hand over missed defenses to him.
Disadvantages: His offensive methods are simpler than Artest's. He can eat his cake and eat it until he is full, but only if someone feeds him.
A.J. Guyton, 23 years old, height 185cm, weight 82kg, position as point guard.
Features...forget it, there are no features.
Disadvantages...too many to mention.
Lu Yu has automatically filtered out Guyton's value. He is not in a hurry to break through Hoiberg. This is his first independent offense after coming to the Bulls. Head coach Floyd and assistant coach Cartwright have to work hard off the court.
What matters is not the performance of several veterans, but the role of the two rookies himself and Chandler.
In fact, compared to the first team, Lu Yu felt that the second team was more useful. Except for Brad Miller, the five players on the first team were at the top of the league, and the others were just average players.
That is to say, in the Bulls, if you change to other teams, you may not even be able to get into the starting lineup.
On his own side, Artest has always been between the main force and the substitute, and his playing time is guaranteed. However, his style of play destined him to only be a defensive leader, and he must have a strong enough player beside him.
Only then can he play his role.
Otherwise, before he can defend his opponent, the game will have been ruined, and it will be of no use no matter how good his defense is.
A good defensive player can only show his real effectiveness when the score is close.
This is also the reason why Artest has been tepid in the Bulls.
Not to mention Charles Oakley, veteran, the requirements cannot be too high.
But Tyson Chandler is different. Although he looks inconspicuous now, his physical talent is there. As long as he is well trained, he will soon grow into a qualified insider. Even after growing up,
Would work better than Brad Miller.
Hoiberg lowered his center of gravity. Although he was two centimeters shorter than Lu Yu, he had watched Lu Yu's game videos and knew that Lu Yu broke through very quickly. If he didn't lower his center of gravity, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to keep up.
Lu Yu's speed.
Lu Yu made a covering gesture, and then when he saw Tyson Chandler approaching, he used one shoulder to confront Hoiberg, then walked directly around Chandler.
After going around, he did not choose to break through directly.
He waited for a moment, and Brad Miller covered Lu Yu with his long arms. Who knew that at this time, the basketball in Lu Yu's hand was stuffed directly into Miller's armpit.
Chandler just followed the pass subconsciously. He originally thought that Lu Yu would not pass the ball.
Because Lu Yu was in a worse situation than him and never got a chance to show off, when the basketball appeared in front of him, he was stunned for a moment, then roared and smashed the basketball into the basket.
Cool!
So cool!
It’s so much better than grabbing a fucking rebound for a second offense!
Floyd, the head coach on the sidelines, nodded with satisfaction and then quietly made an OK gesture to Cartwright.
In the next round, Guyton was just about to attack.
"Hey, give the ball to Lu Yu!" Cartwright shouted from the sidelines.
Guyton was stunned for a moment, looked at the sidelines and then the court, and reluctantly handed the ball to Lu Yu.
Lu Yu caught the ball and immediately changed direction and cut in from a 45-degree angle. Hoiberg quickly retreated, but the pursuit was not tight. He knew that there were Ron Mercer and Brad Miller inside.
Help yourself to defend yourself.
Brad Miller did not go up because he was worried that Lu Yu would pass the ball to Chandler.
Just by looking at Chandler's first few rebounds, I knew it was definitely an alley-oop dunk.
If Miller didn't make it, Mercer had to make it. As soon as he moved over from the wing, the ball in Lu Yu's hand disappeared.
Where is the ball?
Everyone was stunned.
Only the two coaches on the sidelines and Jamal Crawford and Trenton Hassell who were sitting off the court saw clearly that Lu Yu passed the ball from behind and dumped the ball into Artest's hands in the bottom corner.
Artest raised his hand and hit a three-pointer.
"Whoosh!"
The basketball hit the net.
"It's so beautiful! I love you so much, baby."
Artest ran over and hugged Lu Yu's head and kissed him.
Lu Yu: "Damn, I need to use two more bottles of shampoo tonight."
Head coach Floyd's tense heart was finally relieved. Lu Yu indeed had a good breakthrough and had a broad enough vision as Cartwright said.
On the sidelines, Crawford slapped his thigh excitedly.
"That's how I feel! It's not cool to pass the ball, but it's a crappy ball."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cartwright pointed at him: "Jamal, come on."
Crawford's excited expression just now suddenly suffocated: "Coach, it's not okay, Lu Yucai just got into some good shape..."
"Who asked you to replace Lu Yu? You replaced A.J. You played shooting guard and Lu Yu played point guard. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
Jamal Crawford stood up.
Next to him, Trenton Hassell is a bit lonely. Of the three rookies this year, he is the only one who has yet to get a chance to play.
