Floyd stood on the sidelines and carefully observed Lu Yu's playing style.
To be honest, even though he had watched Lu Yu's videos countless times before, when Lu Yu actually played in front of him, he was still amazed by Lu Yu's basketball IQ.
Every time he attacks, even if there is no tactical arrangement, Lu Yu can still make the most correct response according to the situation on the field.
The only regret is that Lu Yu hasn't attacked by himself yet.
His scoring skills haven't been fully utilized yet.
In fact, Lu Yu misunderstood the coach's intention. When Cartwright asked Guyton to hand the ball to Lu Yu, Lu Yu mistakenly thought that the coach wanted him to switch to point guard. In order to get the starting position as soon as possible, he
Try your best to show your organizational talents.
Little did he know that Freud and Cartwright wanted him to be Isaiah Thomas.
He can both score and organize.
But they feel that there is still time. It is just Lu Yu's first training game in the team. The first step for Lu Yu is to establish himself as the starting point guard. He also has to squeeze out Bryce Drew.
.
Bryce Drew's expression didn't change at all, but he knew in his heart that he couldn't pass the few balls Lu Yu had just passed.
But he was not willing to lose to a rookie, even if the rookie was the second overall pick.
He first dribbled the ball and swayed continuously, adding small steps with his feet. Lu Yu did not follow his tactics, but just stared at the basketball in his hand.
Drew took a step across, and Lu Yu quickly moved laterally, but was blocked by Brad Miller. Drew found an open space, raised his hand and hit a three-pointer.
The ball went in.
There was no problem with this shot, because Chandler, who was guarding Miller, didn't communicate well with Lu Yu at all, and by the time he reacted and changed defense, it was already too late.
However, in Floyd's view, there is a better option for this ball, which is to pass it to Miller who has already passed down.
A true point guard will not take rash shots from the outside.
It should be like Lu Yu.
Lu Yu is not without offensive ability, but he will control the entire team's offensive rhythm. Through pick-and-rolls and screens, he will constantly attack the penalty area, attract defenses, and distribute priority ball rights to every end point on the field.
This is the true point guard.
One thing Floyd knows very well is that only by allowing Lu Yu to play point guard can the lower limit of this team be raised, because only in this way can the offensive capabilities of other teammates be fully utilized, which is more important than the point guard playing alone.
As for the team's ceiling.
It depends on whether Lu Yu is as good as the Smiling Assassin.
In fact, Lu Yu had a hard time playing. After all, Crawford is also a player who needs the ball. The two of them seemed a bit incompatible on the court. However, Floyd soon discovered this problem and directly kicked Crawford.
De and Hoiberg made a s
After Lu Yu moved to the point guard position, Drew bit him as hard as he could, as if he wanted to eat Lu Yusheng alive.
Brother, I'm just trying to steal your position, not your wife.
What's more, this is arranged by the coach, shouldn't you bite the coach?
Tough defense is okay. After all, in this era, every player plays tough. Although it is not as rampant as in the 1990s, it is compared to the defense that will be knocked down at the first touch and the whistle will be blown at the first touch in a few years.
, it’s already very intense.
Especially Charles Oakley, who kept yelling on the court.
In recent years, Oakley has allowed all new generation players to experience the basketball style of the 1990s.
Speaking of Oakley, Lu Yu felt that even if there were trash like Nelson again in the future, he would dare to fight with confidence.
After all, in the eyes of fans, this old man from New York, who is full of strength and strength, is a free fighting enthusiast, in the eyes of his opponents, he is a heinous villain, and in the eyes of his teammates, he is a big brother who can be fully trusted.
Lu Yu just wanted to say now: "Come on the bull, it smells so good!"
Oakley actually doesn't want to turn the basketball game into a boxing championship, but when his teammates are bullied, this bloody man will never sit on the bench and "hang high" because it has nothing to do with him.
Oakley was once called a "bad guy" on the court because he had a history of getting into fistfights with others.
In fact, most of Oakley's actions were to protect his teammates.
One of his most famous fights was when the Knicks faced the Heat in the first round of the 1998 playoffs.
Originally, this incident had nothing to do with Oakley, but his Knicks teammate Larry Johnson angered the Heat's Alonzo Mourning. When Mourning rushed over to fight Johnson, Oakley stood up to defend him.
teammate.
In fact, "Aunt" Larry Johnson did not need his protection at all, because in a game in 1997, Johnson used a set of boxing moves to beat Mourning until he could not fight back.
In this tense situation, Knicks coach Jeff Van Gundy staged the classic scene of hugging Mourning's thigh to protect his own players.
There was once a story circulating in the league:
Players even dare to scold David Stern in private, but no one dares to make up Oakley's right and wrong. Because once it reaches his ears, Oakley will make you look good on the court.
And Oakley always has a cold steel expression and an iron-blooded spirit that never gives up on the court.
So despite the fact that it is just a training match now, they are only less than ten points behind, but he is still roaring, and he is roaring and telling his teammates that if they want to win, they must win!
Lu Yu knew that only by winning could he win Oakley's respect.
He began to exert force, and his continuous changes of direction made Drew unable to find his way, and then he directly cut in with one step. When all the players' attention was on him, he passed the ball to Hoiberg in the high post.
Hoiberg caught the ball from a high position. Facing Crawford, who was taller than him, he did not take a shot. Instead, he flicked the ball with his big hand and threw the basketball directly to the bottom corner.
Lu Yu just happened to run over, and he didn't even need to adjust when receiving the basketball, he just shot a three-pointer.
Drew, who was defending him, was firmly blocked behind by Charles Oakley.
Whoosh!
Hit!
…
Marcus Fizer beats Oakley.
As a starter and head coach Floyd's favorite disciple, Fizer has never been as invisible as he is today.
Floyd promised him that he would be the core player of this team.
But now almost everyone is surrounding Lu Yu, and the coach's eyes are also fixed on Lu Yu.
He is not jealous, but he wants his new teammates to know his strength.
Feizer and Oakley started a hand-to-hand fight inside. As soon as they received the ball, they found Lu Yu's assisting defense in front of them, and Tyson Chandler on the other side was also watching eagerly.
He could only pass the ball to Jamal Crawford on the outside.
In fact, he didn't want to pass it on because he knew about Crawford's urine properties, and if he passed it on, he wouldn't be able to come back.
Cartwright on the sidelines whispered to Floyd: "The defensive awareness of Lu Yu and Chandler is enough to ensure the team's defensive rotation. I think this season, our Bulls will become the biggest headache for all teams.
team."
The Bulls' offense may be mediocre. After all, the current players who can attack are Lu Yu and Crawford on the outside, and only Brad Miller on the inside has the ability to attack independently.
Hoiberg is a catch-and-shoot three-point shooter.
Although Ron Mercer and Marcus Fizer have offensive methods, their talent is limited, and they have no room to fight back against the league's top players.
But defend.
The Bulls are different. They have a bunch of strong defensive players.
Artest, Oakley, Lu Yu, Chandler, they are all tough defensive players, although Oakley is a little older.
Also sitting off the court was Trenton Hassell.
Whether it's inside or outside, whether it's the main lineup or the substitute lineup, the Bulls have a defensive iron gate guarding their position.
…
Lu Yu directly intercepted Drew's breakthrough.
Then he made a stunning move and scored a dunk!
…
Charles Oakley grabbed another rebound.
"Quick attack!"
Without even looking, he roared, flicked his long arm, and threw the ball forward. He knew that Lu Yu would be able to catch up.
Lu Yu took off from the free throw line and dunked the basketball into the basket.
The players on Lu Yu's team were instantly ignited on the court.
Everyone jumped up excitedly and bumped into each other in the air.
This goal allowed them to take the lead.
…
There was a cool breeze outside the arena, and Lu Yu's first training match ended with his team winning the opponent by ten points.
And Lu Yu also won the respect of his teammates.
Everyone knows that if the Bulls can turn around next season, they will definitely not be able to do it with their original team, because they were the same people last season... No, there was Elton Bran last season.
Germany was beaten to the bottom of the league.
Originally, Elton Brand left the team this season, making their prospects this season gloomy.
But Lu Yu's appearance gave them hope again.
Lu Yu drove the car on the way home and took a look at the system panel.
[Host: Lu Yu]
[Water breathing method: 69%]
[Thunder Breathing Technique: 64%]
[Fire Breathing Method: 55%]
[Wind breathing method: 15%]
There is no change in the percentage, but the progress bar has obviously increased a lot. Even though it is just an intra-team training match, the intensity is much greater than the NCAA regular season.
Especially due to various confrontations, Lu Yu still has a few scratches on his arms.
This is the NBA of this era.
Back home, Lu Yu found that Annie was asking Charlize Theron for advice on acting. Lu Yu expressed his stance to Annie two days ago, telling her that if she likes acting and being an actor, just pursue what you want to do, and don't have to worry about yourself.
and be restrained.
Annie happily hugged Lu Yu and kissed him on the face.
Among the three women Lu Yu met, Jessica looked arrogant and stubborn on the surface, but in fact she had a docile character on the inside. She said she was angry with Lu Yu, but turned around and still willingly sacrificed for Lu Yu.
.
Scarlett looked carefree, but Lu Yu discovered during this period that Scarlett seemed to be becoming more and more dependent on him, sending text messages non-stop every day.
As for Anne, she is very introverted and cautious, but she has her own ideas deep down.
Therefore, everyone is not just what they look like on the surface. It takes a deep understanding to understand each person's character better.
Charlize saw Lu Yu walking in and poked Annie's arm with his arm.
Annie was stunned for a moment before she realized what she was doing. Then she walked aside and picked up the cakes and snacks on the table, and walked over and handed them to Lu Yu: "Sister Charlize said she was sorry about what happened last time. She made snacks and sent them to us. You
Would you like to try it?"
Annie looked at Lu Yu carefully, she was worried that Lu Yu would be angry with her for accepting Charlize's gift.
Lu Yu did not take the cake and said with a smile: "You guys can eat. I just finished the training match and I am a little tired. I will go up to rest first. Remember to call me when you have dinner."
"Yeah." Annie nodded quickly.
Charlize, who was not far away, looked at Lu Yu curiously. She now knew that Lu Yu was the second overall pick acquired by the Bulls in this year's trade. He was very handsome, especially his deep eyes, which seemed to be able to see through all his disguises.
No, he is a liar.
He also told Gerda, her mother, that he was single.
Anne is just his uncle's sister.
But as far as he knew, Annie liked Lu Yu very much, and the relationship between the two didn't look like that of brother and sister.
Lu Yu went upstairs and had a good sleep. It wasn't until Annie knocked on the door and called him to eat that he opened his sleepy eyes and walked downstairs. But when he walked downstairs, he was dumbfounded.
