Chapter 163: One staring at the quadruple, Lu Yu is on top?
In Lu Yu's previous life, one-on-one and four-way was a well-used defensive tactic. It was usually used to lock down the opponent's arrows, and then conduct a regional flank attack on other players to interfere with the opponent's offense.
But in 2001, very few teams used this kind of defense, and many coaches even bothered to use it.
Not only are few teams using this tactic, but many coaches are at a loss as to how to crack this tactic. It’s not that they don’t know how to crack it, it’s really hard for a clever woman to make a meal without straw.
The regional defense limits the offense under the basket and strengthens the protection of the penalty area, which also leads to the rise in the tactical status of COSCO shots. However, in this era, a team only has one or two shooters.
Why?
I didn’t need it before!
What's the use of having a shooter? According to the previous rules, no matter how good the shooter is, he is not as good as a big man. Even this year, many teams still hold the same view. After all, the hc rules are still in effect. It is really difficult for outsiders to make stable shots.
A little difficult.
So the 2001 game was destined to be ugly.
Unable to hit the inside and restricted, the outside shooting percentage is not high, and the zone defense cannot be broken. By the middle of the season, many teams have realized the benefits of zone defense, and zone defense is being used more and more.
There are countless games to count, but the game is getting uglier and uglier. In the end, the Lakers, with their tough defense and superhuman talent, once again had the last laugh.
Of course, everyone knows that it was the Kings that should have won that year.
Lu Yu played the pick-and-roll, and it was very uncomfortable for him from the beginning of the game until the timeout. The team's tactical chaos made him feel frustrated on both the offensive and defensive ends.
But he is not strong enough to be superior to the coach, so he has no chance to object.
This is very frustrating.
Because he could obviously be the protagonist of a cool novel, but the shit he suppressed by the author is about to come out, and the game will be as ugly as possible.
Fortunately, Cartwright was temporarily replaced as coach.
Cartwright, awesome!
Lu Yu's first choice after playing the pick-and-roll was not to break through, but to shoot. He took a step laterally and saw Mutombo retreat. No, Uncle Mu never came out at all. After seeing Lu Yu move laterally, he turned around and prepared to grab the rebound.
Already.
This is an open shot.
Lu Yu's slender figure, under the gaze of more than 10,000 fans at the United Center, elegantly shot this three-pointer, and the basketball went hollow into the net.
32:40
The score difference was within ten points, with only eight points left.
Not far away in the Bulls office.
Klaus turned on the game monitoring, from which the big screen of the live game can be synchronized in real time.
Seeing Lu Yu make this three-pointer, Krause shouted: "Beautiful, Lu Yu returned this three-pointer. He made good use of Chandler's screen, right?"
Floyd sighed: "Yes, Lu Yu is an outstanding player, and he also dares to assume offensive responsibilities. The most important thing is that he has a special personality charm, whether it is newcomer Tyson or old guy Charles
They were all willing to give him pick-and-rolls."
After arriving at Kraus's office, Freud found that Kraus had not discussed anything with him.
Just let him watch the game monitor together.
Knowing Klaus well, he knew that Klaus was on the eve of making a decision.
When the 76ers attacked, Halprin received a pass from Iverson on the weak side and forced a layup. As a result, he was kicked out of the game by Oakley's solid block.
After receiving the ball from the sideline, Iverson came out to catch the ball. Trenton was tightly wrapped around him. As soon as he received the ball, he took two steps to the right and was blocked by Lu Yu. Then he broke through to the left.
On the other side, Artest was eyeing him covetously.
But Iverson is Iverson after all. Even if he is in the gap between people, he can still break through. I saw him push the ball forward and pass between the defenses of Trenton and Artest.
Then he took a mid-range shot before Chandler came up to defend.
The higher release point made Chandler just watch the ball and sigh.
The basketball flew toward the basket, eventually rippled through the net, and hit the target.
Seeing this scene, Floyd secretly sighed. He had to admit that Cartwright's defense pinched the 76ers' Achilles' heel. Even though Iverson scored this goal, it was extremely difficult for him to score it.
.
If things continue like this, the 76ers have only one way to go: losing.
During the Bulls' position battle, Lu Yu and Chandler picked and rolled, breaking away from Snow's defense and breaking into the three-point line. This time there was no switch of defense, and Snow chose to overtake the defense.
Lu Yu caught a glimpse of Charles making an air cut and passing the ball to the center.
Charles Oakley hit the ball high from mid-range and scored.
34 to 42
Mutombo came over and patted Derek Coleman on the shoulder: "Leave this guy to me, you go and deal with that rookie."
First, he and Charles Oakley were old rivals.
In their era, the physical battles in the penalty area between Mourning, Oakley, Ewing, Larry Johnson and Mutombo were even more anticipated than the basketball game itself.
Secondly, that rookie named Chandler is really good at running away...
Mutombo felt like he couldn't keep up.
When the 76ers attacked, Snow passed the ball to Iverson, who was running. As soon as Iverson caught the ball, he was stuck to Trenton. He changed directions twice in a row to dodge the defense and then chose to take a shot from outside the three-point line.
He didn't go any further because if he went in, he would be flanked by the area.
The three-pointer missed the basket as expected.
Oakley and Mutombo were wrestling under the basket. Chandler grabbed the rebound, found Lu Yu already coming down the court and yelled, reaching for the ball.
Lu Yu defeated Snow in the game. Chandler ignored the tactics at first glance and sent a long pass to the frontcourt with one hand. Lu Yu turned his head to catch the fast basketball while running, took a step forward to adjust his center of gravity, and took advantage of the situation to double
Jump off your feet and float in the air.
"Boom!"
A heavy dunk!
36:42
Lu Yu’s thirteenth chapter.
Klaus sighed: "Lu Yu is really not simple. The ball is very fast and difficult to catch. After catching the ball, he can dunk directly without making any adjustments. With this physical quality, it seems that you suggested that I choose him.
.”
Floyd laughed and said: "It was Cartwright who first recommended him. I have to say that Cartwright has a good vision."
He had gradually guessed Klaus's intentions, so he no longer avoided it.
Generally speaking, he still likes Cartwright very much, and he doesn't think there is anything wrong with it if Cartwright is the one who takes over.
As for myself, maybe I really am not suitable for the NBA.
When the 76ers attacked, Iverson was troubled by Snow and could not break through. His condition began to decline, and his scoring efficiency obviously began to decline. At this time, he began to look for teammates to pass the ball.
To whom?
Perhaps the most suitable one is Halprin.
Every time we encounter this situation this season, only Halprin can stand up in time.
Harprin relied on Mutombo's screen to come to the corner, caught the ball and shot a three-pointer. Unexpectedly, Lu Yu rushed over from the top line and successfully interfered. The ball missed the basket and Mutombo got the rebound.
, Mutombo scored hard from the basket.
36 to 44
Lu Yu dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and Oakley stood at the free throw line. Mutombo was the defensive player.
Lu Yu took a step forward from the three-point line in the middle, glanced at Artest on the right who wanted the ball, and suddenly pulled up and made a three-pointer. Even Snow, with his rich defensive experience, did not react. He did not jump.
, I only had time to reach out.
In the NBA, newcomers are generally cautious when entering the game, fearing that they will offend their coach by not following tactics.
Just like Lu Yu before, he didn't dare to play casually for fear of irritating Floyd, so Snow thought that Lu Yu was either passing the ball to the shooter or trying to pick and roll. Unexpectedly, Lu Yu unexpectedly fired a cold arrow.
The arc of the basketball is perfect and it hits the net hollowly.
39 to 44, Lu Yu’s personal 16th point.
When returning to defense, Lu Yu raised his hands to signal the fans to cheer. The fans applauded in unison, further narrowing the gap between the two sides.
Cartwright looked at Lu Yu with a smile.
What he wants is Lu Yu, a player full of heroism. In this Bulls team that lacks offensive ability, players like Lu Yu need to stand up. He is the backbone of this team.
Other players need to provide Lu Yu with unlimited support within their limited capabilities in a system on both offense and defense.
Floyd looked at Lu Yu in the surveillance camera with complicated eyes.
It's not that he never thought about letting Lu Yu take over, but he always looked forward and backward. He had to consider the stability of the team and the mood of his disciple Marcus, but he just didn't consider that the record would be so miserable.
This became the trigger for his dismissal from get out of class.
In fact, the period of time when Lu Yu was performing was supposed to be the time for the main rotation, but Cartwright did not change and directly let Brand Miller and Marcus Fezer sit on the bench during this period.
.
He didn't know how Cartwright would resolve this conflict.
Is it to directly help Lu Yu ascend to the throne?
Or should we take a roundabout way and continue to use these two main insiders in the second half?
But for now, at least Brad Miller doesn't have any objections, because during the second quarter, he himself didn't think it was okay to not play.
During this period, many teams have substitutes playing a full quarter, as long as the substitutes play well enough.
What's more, Lu Yu is not a substitute.
Lu Yu is leading a group of substitutes to chase points.
…
Halprin hit a mid-range shot.
39 to 46
…
Lu Yu assisted Artest, and Artest cut to the basket and knocked Halprin to the ground. The referee did not blow the whistle.
41 to 46
…
The 76ers made two consecutive attacks to no avail.
Iverson couldn't run any more. Every time he defended, Trenton carried him all over the court like running down the street, which was a huge drain on his physical strength.
Larry Brown couldn't afford to watch Iverson have physical problems in the first half.
He was replaced quickly.
On the contrary, the Bulls' Artest and the newly replaced Hoiberg hit consecutive three-pointers.
Finally, before the midfield whistle sounded, the score was overtaken.
47 to 46
The Bulls led by one going into the second half.
The second half is what Hoiberg is most concerned about, because it determines how Cartwright will deploy the tactical positions of Brad Miller and Marcus Fizer.
Will Cartwright directly help Lu Yu take over?
Freud didn't know.
Klaus, who was silent on the side, didn't know either.
They just looked at the monitor quietly, no one said anything.
