Lu Yu made a simple change of direction to get rid of Williams' defense, and with a slight throw in the face of the defense, Tyson Chandler cut in and dunked in the air.
Looking back, Chandler blocked another shot and sent the basketball flying. Lu Yu picked up the basketball and counterattacked.
Before the midfield, Lu Yu passed the ball directly, the basketball flew straight from the midfield to the basket, and Artest scored a layup.
The opponent missed the shot.
Lu Yu steadily controlled the rhythm and signaled his opponent to start running. Oakley was stuck in the corner, and Lu Yu gave him the ball without any hesitation.
Then Lu Yu directly found Artest and gave him an off-ball screen.
Artest used the screen to get rid of Battier's defense.
Then he and Oakley got the basketball hand-in-hand and ran directly into the basket. The entire team's offense was not sluggish at all. From passing and cutting to running, everyone played very clearly.
Then Trenton Hassell made another successful steal.
He was not greedy for credit at all. After stealing the ball, he handed the ball to Lu Yu, who made a direct shot from outside the three-point line.
30:20, In less than two minutes, the Bulls launched a 9-0 spurt to end the first quarter.
Floyd was very satisfied with the team's performance in just two minutes.
Of course, this is also the reason why Grizzlies head coach Sid Nilo failed to respond on the spot and always asked Williams to defend Lu Yu. If Battier was asked to defend, Lu Yu would not play so easily.
To be fair, white chocolate is actually not that delicious.
Although his overall strength is not top-notch, and his ability has never reached MVP level, with his gorgeous passing skills and elusive fake moves, he does have a certain level of strength, otherwise he would not be remembered by so many fans.
Live his name.
Let's put it this way, at least most fans will remember his nickname-"White Chocolate" Jason Williams.
White Chocolate, who is 1.85 meters tall and weighs 86 kilograms, can be said to be a problem player in college. His bohemian personality brought him a lot of off-field troubles, including suspensions, drug tests, being expelled from the school team, etc. However, this concealed
Despite his talent in organizing the team's offense, White Chocolate still holds the University of Florida's record of 17 assists in a single game.
Perhaps it was because of his excellent overall view and insight that the Kings chose to bring him back to Sacramento with the seventh pick. It was this decision by the Kings management that started their popular basketball performance.
I'm afraid the Kings never imagined at the time that the thin white guard they selected with the seventh overall pick in the first round would shine in the future, and even let the league remember his name in his rookie season.
Jason Williams during the Kings period brought fans a huge surprise.
Under the guidance of head coach Adelman, this small guard who is talented in passing was able to maximize his talents in the NBA.
In his rookie season, he became the team's starting point guard and averaged 12.8 points, 3.1 rebounds and 6.0 assists in 36.1 minutes per game.
Not only that, the presence of Webber, Divac, Peja and others also makes this Kings team unique.
In such a shortened season, Sacramento, a small market, has the highest attendance in the league because of the team's "showtime", and fans are willing to spend money to watch the behind-the-back passing performances of White Chocolate and the entire Kings team.
Unfortunately, the Kings only achieved sixth place in the Western Conference throughout the season. In the first round of the playoffs, the Kings even lost to the Utah Legion with a huge score of 2-3.
White Chocolate did not perform well in this series. He only averaged 10.0 points, 3.6 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game. Considering that this was his first playoff trip and also his rookie season, we
It is true that he should not be evaluated more harshly.
In the last two years of the Kings period, Jason Williams' shortcomings began to be gradually exposed.
His thin body and poor defensive awareness make it difficult for him to become an excellent defender.
Although his passing is still very imaginative and performative, in the final analysis he cannot lead the team to victory. For two consecutive years, the Kings were eliminated by the Lakers in the playoffs, and the furthest they reached was the second round. In the end, in
Three years later, due to unsatisfactory record and insufficient physical fitness, the Kings sent him to the Memphis Grizzlies in exchange for Bibby.
Compared with Lu Yu, his height and weight are not enough to guard Lu Yu.
Not to mention that his defense is not very good to begin with.
When Lu Yu walked off the court, Artest and Tyson Chandler were on the left and right of Lu Yu. The two of them were like guardians on the left and right. They were very close to Lu Yu, so no one heard them whisper.
What.
Artest: "Lu Yu, whether we are brothers or not, it depends on you whether I can be a starter... I will give you a pair of shoes, and I will give you a sports car later!"
Chandler: "Lu, I may not have the money to give you a sports car, but in the future, as long as you arrange things, I will do it even if the sky falls. It's so great to play with you. I know that I can't squeeze Miller out of the starting lineup."
, but I hope you can give me a few more air pick-ups when I’m with you at the same time..."
Lu Yu: "Okay, okay, okay, but can you stay away from me? I don't want the beauties in Chicago to misunderstand my orientation."
The two people took a step away obediently.
It looks very much like Ma Chai in the Hong Kong movie.
Oakley, who was following behind, wanted to laugh when he looked at it, but he also liked playing with Lu Yu, not just for better statistics. At his age, he didn't pursue statistics.
He just felt that he could win with Lu Yu.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the two sides put on full substitute lineups to fight. Trenton Hassell was moved from the shooting guard position to the point guard because Jamal Crawford came on the court.
Chandler is responsible for rebounding for Crawford, and Hassell is responsible for sharing the defensive pressure with Crawford.
Artest did not play, but the Bulls' starting small forward, Ron Mercer, played. Everyone knew that his starting position might not be kept.
Maybe it was to vent his dissatisfaction, or maybe it was because the opponent's substitute was too weak.
On the contrary, he was revitalized, his efficiency value was at full level, and he and Crawford formed two spears, killing each other in the Grizzlies lineup.
Tyson Chandler and Grizzlies backup center Stromire Swift started fighting in the paint, either on the floor or in the air. Both of them could jump and grab.
, and soon he was covered with burly bodies.
At this time, Lu Yu was already sitting on the bench. Floyd walked over to sit next to Lu Yu and glanced at Lu Yu, who was watching the game seriously.
"What do you think of Tyson?"
Lu Yu glanced at Floyd in surprise. He didn't expect that Floyd would come to chat with him. After thinking about it, he said: "The physical fitness is very good, and he did an excellent job in assisting defense and rebounding. In the first quarter, he
I helped block one shot."
"anything else?"
"Also...his air cuts after the pick-and-roll are also good. He and Brad have two different styles of play. I think they can be used as two sets of conventional weapons."
Lu Yu lowered his voice and said.
After all, Brad Miller was sitting not far away. It was obvious that Artest, who was beside Lu Yu, vaguely heard something. He stood up at the right time and waved a towel and shouted twice to disturb Brad's concentration.
The ball had just been served on the court, and the players were suddenly stunned by Artest's voice and turned to look over.
Lu Yu pursed his lips: "It seems that Silly Tai is not stupid either."
Floyd glanced deeply at Lu Yu, who pretended not to notice and continued to watch the game.
He could only say so much.
Saying more would offend people, not to mention that he was just saying what was in Floyd's mind. Floyd also wanted Chandler to play for a longer period of time, but the distribution of players on the field had to be adjusted.
Chandler plays with Crawford and Mercer and is a rebounding machine.
Playing together with Lu Yu can also play a certain offensive role.
Of course, the effect of Lu Yu and Brad Miller being present at the same time is also very good...
etc.
Miller is the boss of this team now. Isn't it a little too early to consider the lineup around Lu Yu?
Floyd sighed secretly.
He can only hope that Lu Yu can play as soon as possible, so that he can legitimately build a lineup around Lu Yu.
At this time, in his heart, even if Marcus Fezer was his beloved disciple, he could not compete with Brad Miller.
Even if Marcus is not picked out of the starting lineup, it can be considered a close relationship between master and disciple.
Of course, the main reason is that Charles Oakley's current physical strength cannot play the game for too long.
In fact, in Floyd's mind, Lu Yu, Trenton Hassel, Ron Artest, Charles Oakley, and Brad Miller are the strongest lineup of this team.
Chandler can be a substitute at any time when Miller is not strong enough, because Chandler can seamlessly connect whether he is placed in this lineup or on the bench.
This is also the reason why he asked Lu Yu about Chandler.
The only problem with this lineup is that Charles Oakley can't play for long, which means that in regular time, Marcus Fizer will have to fill Oakley's position.
"Why……"
Floyd sighed: "It seems I need to find time to talk to Marcus, but it really doesn't work..."
He shook his head. If he didn't take the last step, he would really be reluctant to trade his beloved disciple away.
In the middle of the second quarter, Floyd said to Marcus Fizer: "Marcus, get ready to play and let Charles come down and take a rest. He is old and can't play that long."
Marcus Fezer had no doubt and stood up immediately.
At the same time, Drew also replaced Hassell. Trenton Hassell performed well during this period and has completely won Floyd's trust.
Even if he is just a rookie.
Still a second-round pick.
But this second-round pick brought a bigger surprise to Floyd than the fourth overall pick, Tyson Chandler.
Of course, there is no comparison with Lu Yu.
The game time passed quickly.
The game quickly came to the last two minutes of the second quarter. Lu Yu came back on the court, and he was replaced with Ron Artest, Trenton Hassell, Charles Oakley and Brad.
