Many years later, when someone recalls Lu Yu's first regular season game, they will say that he was extremely lucky.
Because it was this regular season explosion that established Lu Yu's position as the main force of the Bulls. From the main force to the core and then to the team leader, this game was Lu Yu's starting point.
Every time I hear this argument, Tyson Chandler will jump out and retort loudly: "Lu Yu is not lucky, he just knows how to play better, because in that game, I didn't receive a pick-and-roll gesture from him -
— Before he even entered this league, his basketball IQ had already reached a high level."
Why?
Because Lu Yu knows that when he picks and rolls with Chandler, O'Neal switches to guard, and when he picks and rolls with Oakley, Foster, the rebounding monster, switches to guard.
Foster is very good at rebounding. He is tall, long-armed and powerful, but defensively, especially against a small man like Lu Yu, he is much inferior.
The game continued, and the Pacers also played a pick-and-roll. Tinsley used the screen to force his way inside, but Oakley blocked him and slapped him away!
"You can shoot from outside, but if you want to score in the penalty area, there's no way!"
The ball was served from the sideline, and Jaylen Rose held the ball for a single. Artest was shaken off and failed to follow up. He watched Rose get two points from the mid-range shot.
34 to 42.
When the Bulls attacked, Lu Yu continued to look for cover. This time Foster defended and stood relatively outside.
It stands to reason that at this time, Lu Yu will definitely seize the opportunity to use strong delay to attack the big one. The coach should immediately arrange tactics and change to weak delay, especially when Foster's mobility is not flexible enough.
It may be a question of whether to switch or not. Since there is a delay, don't always think about killing Lu Yu's breakthrough space in one step.
What's more, there are always delays, and whether Foster's physical strength can withstand it is still a question.
But Isaiah Thomas has not been a coach for a few years. He only knows how to copy the textbook. Facing a player like Lu Yu who plays pick-and-roll and has shooting ability, it is more suitable to use strong delays to interfere with him.
He is too rigid, and his weak delays can be changed quickly enough to interfere with shooting.
Lu Yu dribbled the ball to the left, accelerated past Foster, and before Reggie Miller could catch up, he made another emergency jumper from the corner.
36 to 42, Lu Yu’s thirteenth, he made five of five shots, and his hand felt hot. Since the hand feels good, he kept shooting. Anyway, the head coach Floyd’s mind is like a woman’s mind. No matter what,
If you can’t guess it, why not just type it according to your own ideas.
Freud really did look like a woman.
Today I hope Lu Yu can pass more passes, and tomorrow I hope Lu Yu can score more points. But in two days it will change again. Lu Yu, you are no longer the core, you should focus on the overall situation, and the whole team will use defense to reduce the opponent's shooting percentage.
My aunt cried in the middle of the night, and when I think about it, she was that kind of person for a while.
Lu Yu's own current ability has been roughly estimated. It is at the level of ordinary stars in the league. He has played against Kobe and Tracy McGrady, and there is still a little gap between him and the two of them. If the coach is so different, he alone can't
It is almost impossible to win every game.
However, you can consider taking advantage of the hot feeling and winning the game in front of you.
After all, it depends on whether Jessica can be captured tonight!
…
The Pacers attacked, and Foster provided a screen for O'Neal to help him get rid of Chandler. Oakley was slow to change defense, and O'Neal made a high jumper.
36:44
…
Lu Yu dribbled the ball past half-court, and Reggie Miller kept his distance.
Previously, Reggie Miller was too close and after being covered by the big man, Foster could only force the delay according to the coach's arrangement. After Miller grabbed the ball, Foster had already been broken through by Lu Yu.
Even if Lu Yu didn't break through, Foster couldn't return to his original defensive position.
So Reggie Miller knows that he must leave space so that he can still defend his position after grabbing or bypassing.
Lu Yu made a covering gesture towards Oakley. As soon as he finished the gesture, he dribbled directly up from the ground.
Reggie Miller's attention was focused on Oakley, who was about to come over. Unexpectedly, Lu Yu suddenly took action. This drastic move looked like McGrady, the white horse and silver gun of the Magic. It was too late for Miller to block the shot.
Although Lu Yu's training intensity has dropped this summer, Yanhu's progress is still here. Especially when the hand feels so hot today, it is impossible to miss and the basketball hits the net hollowly.
39:45
Personal 16th point, 6 out of 6!
Lu Yu went crazy!
The home fans started cheering crazily, and they all stood up and applauded Lu Yu!
The Pacers were forced to request a timeout.
Zhang Weiping said: "Lu Yu's performance reminds me of Michael Jordan. They are both about the same height. Although their playing styles are completely different, both of them have super scoring abilities."
Sun Yiping smiled and said: "I think Lu Yu is getting high."
Of course, Lu Yu is now playing point guard, which is a different position than Jordan playing shooting guard, and Lu Yu is more focused on using pick-and-roll screens, which benefits from the experience taught by Stockton during the NCAA period.
Floyd knew that Lu Yu had scoring ability during the preseason, but he didn't expect that Lu Yu's scoring ability would be so explosive. He had previously doubted that Cartwright's performance in the summer league was due to the confrontation in the summer league.
The level is too low, but in this game, apart from Tinsley not giving Lu Yu enough to fight at the beginning, later Reggie Miller or Foster who encountered a strong delay after the pick and roll gave Lu Yu enough body
, but even if his body is deformed, Lu Yu can still break through or shoot the ball.
Freud knew that if Lu Yu could maintain this state, there would be no problem at all if he was left to Lu Yu.
The premise is, can Lu Yu maintain this state in every game?
He was worried.
What's more, Lu Yu is not the boss of this team yet. Floyd understands better that the nominal core of this team is still Brad Miller, that is, Brad Miller is still here.
After the break, when Miller comes on the court, Lu Yu can't be allowed to throw around like this.
He is always so hesitant.
After the timeout, Floyd emphasized the tactics: "Lu Yu's shooting is great. If the hand feels good, continue shooting. If the opponent directly attacks, the flank players are always ready to respond. When returning to defense, you must be quick and do not allow the opponent to counterattack.
Chance."
Although he was hesitant about using players, there was no big problem at the tactical level. As he expected, the Pacers abandoned the delaying tactic and directly chose to flank Lu Yu.
After all, except for Lu Yu, the offensive abilities of other Bulls players are really worrying.
"Fred, go up and replace Trenton and be ready to receive Lu Yu's pass."
He finally remembered that there was another shooter on the team.
After the timeout, Lu Yu was double-teamed by Reggie Miller and Foster after running a pick-and-roll. This may be the Pacers' last card.
…
No one expected that the main players of both teams would only rest for a few minutes in the second quarter.
Especially the Pacers, since Lu Yu started to lead a group of substitutes to counterattack, their main players were forced to play, and now they are even forced to use a pincer attack strategy against Lu Yu.
As for the Bulls, Brad Miller, the core leader, is still resting. If the game continues like this, the Pacers will suffer in terms of physical strength.
The Pacers missed a shot, Lu Yu pushed the ball across half court, and was flanked just as he was preparing to pick and roll.
Facing a flanking attack, Lu Yu remained calm and saw the opportunity to pass the ball to Hoiberg who stepped forward to respond.
Oakley, who had just finished the pick-and-roll for Lu Yu and had been left unattended, had already sunk to the basket. Hoiberg kept the ball in his hands and directly handed the ball to the opponent. Oakley jumped up and dunked the ball into the basket.
41:45
The Pacers' tactic of flanking Lu Yu ended in failure the first time.
The game continued. Reggie Miller caught the ball after halftime without stopping, and passed it directly to O'Neal inside. He ran to the left baseline, then ran to the right baseline, and set a screen with Rose.
Suddenly, a mountain of meat blocked Lu Yu's path. Even though Lu Yu was extremely tough, he didn't get around it quickly. Artest was obviously a step behind in catching up. Reggie Miller caught the ball in the corner and shot a three-pointer, scoring 41.
:48
Lu Yu continued to play pick-and-roll and still faced double teams.
Lu Yu did not rush to pass the ball, but pulled the ball to the far end. At this time, Artest used Chandler's screen to run from the right corner to the left corner.
O'Neal wanted to change defense, but there was no way because there was still Oakley who had just returned in the penalty area.
Lu Yu had quick eyes and quick hands and lobbed directly to Artest from a wide angle. Artest hit a good three-pointer. He adjusted the ball after receiving the ball and returned a three-pointer from the open space.
44 to 48
Lu Yu sent an assist.
Originally, Foster was the Pacers' best defensive player, a defender of the penalty area, and a rebounding monster. However, Lu Yu's pick-and-roll turned him into a defensive black hole. Foster, who left the basket, became a target for thousands of people. He was beaten when he switched defenses.
Lu Yu passed by in one step. Without switching defenses, the most delay would be to allow Lu Yu to go a little further when he broke through. It did not affect Lu Yu's shooting percentage at all. In the end, he could only attack from a flank. As a result, Lu Yu's pass minimized the power of the flank attack.
.
On the offensive end, Foster finally showed his strength once. Rose missed a shot. After grabbing the rebound, he squeezed Oakley away and hit the rebound.
44:50
Instead of being praised for his goal, he was laughed at by the commentator.
Zhang Weiping said: "Foster just bullied Oakley. If it had been Tyson Chandler, this ball would have been slapped away by him."
When the Bulls attacked, Lu Yu repeated his old tricks. After attracting two people to defend him, he passed the ball to Artest in the corner. Artest received the ball and made a feint shot. After passing through O'Neal Jr. who was defending, he directly inserted into the basket.
Neither of the two insiders were in the restricted area. As if he was in no one's land, Artest directly hung up the frame and dunked.
It seemed that Lu Yu was able to fight more easily under the attack.
The Pacers attacked. Reggie Miller passed the ball to Rose. Rose shot and hit the ball. The rebound was grabbed by Oakley and passed to Lu Yu in a straight line. Lu Yu quickly advanced from the left and passed to Artes in the middle.
special.
Artest had already hit the ball in the head, and he didn't dare to see who was guarding him. He took the ball and rushed in.
When Reggie Miller saw Artest coming up to him, he simply gave up. He didn't want to be like Jordan, who had two ribs broken.
46:50.
Lu Yu assisted for the second time.
The Bulls bench was very lively. Not only were the players excited, but the coaching staff was also excited. They knew Lu Yu had the potential to become an All-Star player in the future, but they didn't expect Lu Yu to give them such a big surprise in the first game.
The Pacers finally couldn't stand Foster being called out all the time, so they replaced him with Harrington...actually there was not much difference.
They also replaced O'Neal Jr., who was too tired.
This is also the immaturity of Isaiah Thomas as a head coach. He cannot always replace the team's two major insiders. This gives the Bulls an opportunity to stir up trouble inside.
The Bulls replaced Brad Miller and replaced Tyson Chandler, who had done nothing on the court.
Lu Yu could feel the deep sorrow in Chandler's eyes when he looked at him.
Very much like the unsatisfied Forty Ruhu.
Lu Yu's task has become simpler. He doesn't need to play pick-and-roll. He can't let Brad Miller run back and forth like Chandler, dribble past half court, pass the ball, and then hit the three-point line.
Wait outside and watch the "Big White Bear" perform inside at a close distance.
Not only Lu Yu, but other players followed him back and forth. Foster and O'Neal went down, and the two big insiders, Oakley and Miller, almost suppressed the Pacers' inside play.
Lu Yu focused on the defensive end and guarded against Reggie Miller. Reggie Miller was very uncomfortable. Lu Yu entangled him so much that his ribs hurt. This shows how intense the two people were entangled.
On the offensive end, Lu Yu was completely fooling around. In the last minute, Reggie Miller's shot missed the basket. Brad Miller grabbed the rebound and passed the ball to Lu Yu for the first time.
Lu Yu dribbled the ball and accelerated to the outside of the three-point line, and hit another three-pointer in the open position.
