Lu Yu stood behind Iverson who was about to take a free throw. Iverson did not turn his head, but a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "What? Here we go again? Have you regained your strength?"
Lu Yu shrugged, although Iverson couldn't see it. He asked calmly: "If I remember correctly, you often don't train."
Iverson was startled and didn't understand why Lu Yu mentioned this.
"It doesn't matter whether my physical strength has recovered or not. The most important thing is how much physical strength you still have?" Lu Yu's voice, which was not even a ripple, penetrated into Iverson's ears like a knife, Ivers
Sen's expression also changed.
Not training often is a big test for maintaining physical strength.
Iverson doesn't train and many people say it's a rumor.
Later, Larry Brown broke the news: Iverson was often late, left early, missed training, and could always find various excuses to excuse himself.
Yao Ming also joked during his speech at the Hall of Fame: When I heard that I would be the first to speak tonight, I thought someone must have made a mistake. Because the first speaker should obviously be Allen Iverson. After all,
, I can’t be like him, I need more training.
So does Iverson actually train?
The answer is training.
But the training requirements don’t seem to be that strict.
Larry Brown is an old-school coach with a stubborn personality and wants to have absolute control over the team and players, while Iverson's personality is unruly. The two are naturally in conflict with each other in terms of personality.
There are many coaches in the NBA who have the desire to control, such as Jackson, Popovich, Sloan, and of course Brown and Floyd of the current Bulls.
It's just that some people succeeded and some failed.
Now it is Floyd who failed, and soon it will be Larry Brown.
So far in the game, among the players on both sides of the court, Iverson has not been substituted. It’s not that Brown doesn’t want to substitute him, but as long as he thinks about substituting him, the score will be widened... he doesn’t dare to try.
.
After Iverson made two free throws, the score was tied at 76:73.
Lu Yu calmly controlled the ball and walked forward. His physical strength has not recovered much, so take advantage of it.
Fortunately, the wind breathing method can continuously replenish part of the physical strength at this time.
The Thunder Breathing Method also continuously stimulates the muscles while resting, reducing muscle fatigue.
For Lu Yu, these two points are simply cheating devices in high-intensity competitions.
This time, he shot directly over Iverson's head again. Iverson had no way to deal with this move. Physical disadvantages sometimes cannot be compensated for by even the best skills.
"Hey." The fans at the scene couldn't help but sigh, "Hey, I didn't make it."
"It's normal for this ball not to go in." The on-site commentator helped Lu Yu clarify, "Jordan can't guarantee that he will score every time. What's more, judging from the current situation, Jordan's shooting percentage is not necessarily as high as Lu Yu's."
Lu Yu thought as he ran back: Hey, my hands are getting cold. I hope the feeling will return as soon as possible.
…
In the eyes of outsiders, Iverson's speed is still so fast. He is like a small motor that never goes out, ticking non-stop. No one in front of him can stop the pace of progress.
, not even Lu Yu, who just came on stage.
Lu Yu sighed at the ball that wandered around the basket for two or three times before going in: It's bullshit luck.
Luck didn't seem to be on Lu Yu's side anymore.
The scales began to tip.
However, competitions are not gambling. Is there any use in relying on luck?
Although Iverson forcibly scored two points, Lu Yu felt indescribably relaxed. When he posted Iverson just now, he felt that the latter's speed had obviously slowed down a lot. Even with the use of
Even when I tried my best to push myself forward, it didn't have the same impact as in the first half.
He has already defined Iverson: at the end of his strength.
Since he thought this way, he gave up the idea of directly using his height to beat Iverson, and kept dribbling the ball at the top of the key.
"He's going to beat Iverson." The fans at the scene shouted excitedly.
Iverson watched Lu Yu keep crossing and dribbling the ball without moving, and felt unsure.
He just kept staring at Lu Yu's shoulders. Soon Lu Yu moved. First he made a few feints, and then he stepped forward with his right foot and rushed to the right. He quickly moved his body a step to the left, but he didn't know that
——After Lu Yu landed with his right foot, he pushed off the ground with his heel to stop his forward momentum. He stepped sharply to the left with his left foot and deceived Iverson with a simple change of direction.
Cutting in from the left, Iverson's physical strength was obviously inferior to that of Lu Yu, but he just stayed in place and did not move.
Mutombo had already made up for it, and Lu Yu jumped up and bumped into him. He had never been afraid of anyone: No matter who was in front, they could not stop me from moving forward.
"drop!"
The referee called a foul on Mutombo. After landing, Lu Yu looked at the ball that had been dangling on the basket for a long time but then rolled out. He sighed: Luck really helps in the game! Why did he and I have the same ball process?
What’s the difference? Bad luck!
Cartwright did not watch Lu Yu's free throw. In his opinion, Lu Yu's free throw was equal to the score of the goal. The point difference should be widened to 3 points. The 76ers are really a tenacious team.
Team!
Lu Yu made a free throw. Although the white markers held by 76ers fans behind the basket dazzled his eyes, just a few 76ers fans dared to make such trouble in an away game. They were really not afraid of death.
However, he still made the free throw steadily.
The referee threw the ball to him and signaled him to take the second penalty. Lu Yu patted the ball, squatted down slightly, trembled twice, opened his hand and threw the ball...
"Rebound." Mutombo shouted, but he shouted in vain. No Bulls players rushed to grab this rebound because they did not expect that Lu Yu's free throw would not be scored.
Lu Yu also stared blankly at his hand. It was true that misfortunes never come singly!
He didn’t even score a free throw. Why is the ball hanging around the basket again!!
Why!
Crow's mouth!
Does luck really work?
"Hey! This seems to be the first free throw that Lu Yu has missed this season." The regret of the fans at the scene was beyond words.
"Yes, it's a pity, but..." Some people have a different view, "This way he will have no burden."
"Hey...Iverson didn't hit this shot...The Bulls fast break...Lu Yu, three-pointer...Hey...he didn't make it either. Neither of them made a shot after going through the craziness of the third quarter.
"
Larry Brown called a timeout. He also saw that Iverson needed a rest, but he could only give him 20 seconds of rest.
"How are you feeling?" Cartwright asked.
No one spoke. They were a little breathless after being chased by the 76ers. Marcus Fezer was feeling angry because he was no longer the first point of attack, so he kept his head silent.
.
"We will definitely win." Lu Yu finally said calmly, "Believe me."
…
"Lu Yu felt that his hand was no longer good, so he turned to passing more... Iverson also chose to pass more due to his reduced physical strength." The on-site commentator laughed: "It seems that the competition between the two of them is not there yet.
over."
…
Lu Yu forcibly surpassed Iverson by one position. Iverson followed closely and made an emergency stop. The ball was passed from behind to Brad Miller who was pulled up to the high post. Miller did not waste Lu Yu's
Assist and easily hit two points.
…
Iverson made a beautiful fake move and got under Lu Yu's armpit. Facing Miller's defense, he deftly passed his hand around the latter's waist and passed the ball to Derek who was back on the court.
Coleman, Coleman turned around and made a hook layup...
Before the 76ers fans could even cheer, a huge body flew up from under the basket and covered Jackson like a huge black curtain. Those two eyes were shining with anger: "Damn,
If I don’t show off my power, everyone will think that I am invisible!”
The ball was blown far away with a "pop" sound. Lu Yu jumped up high and picked off the rebound over Iverson's head. He flicked it before he even hit the ground and quickly went down to Artest in the 76ers' half.
Ste just caught the ball and scored two more points with a simple dunk!
…
Iverson passed the ball to Halprin, who missed the shot.
…
Miller grabbed the ball that Lu Yu missed and easily made it up.
…
Snow made a layup after a breakthrough, but the ball did not go in due to Artest's interference.
…
Chandler, who just came on the field, received a pass from Lu Yu and dunked to add two more points.
…
The 76ers called timeout again, but their fans were already silent. They just watched all this blankly, wondering what happened and why the game that was evenly matched just now turned into a one-sided massacre.
What happened to the players?
Iverson didn't know either. He was just drinking water silently and glancing at the scoreboard from time to time. He didn't quite believe that his team was defeated so easily in a few minutes.
"No, no, that's not the case, the game is not over yet."
He kept telling himself in his heart,
"There is still a chance."
Cartwright showed a rare smile on his face, praised the players for their performance in the past few minutes, and then told the players not to relax and to play seriously for one second as long as there was one second left in the game.
He replaced Markus Fizer again, and this time Fizer had no problem with it because he was tired.
The Bulls players on the field have become: Lu Yu, Hoiberg, Artest, Oakley, Chandler.
Lu Yu returned to the point guard position.
This didn't have much impact on Lu Yu. He had already made up his mind to try to find his shooting touch.
You will never escape what you should invest in.
Iverson was not ready to give up yet. The short rest allowed him to start running like a car full of gas again. His small stature shuttled back and forth between the two halves, trying his best to guard against every one.
He played the ball well and made every attack. The Bulls fans at the scene gave him applause for his performance, and the applause lasted for a long time.
And began to call Iverson's name rhythmically...
This is a special honor for a star to receive such applause in an away game.
"Alan...Alan...Alan..."
At this moment, no one will look at this little man who is still directing his teammates' movements as a loser. From his resolute face, no one can see the expression of disappointment and frustration, and his tightly closed lips are only...
There is only a crack, and the cold eyes reveal a sense of unwillingness to admit defeat.
But when Artest once again received Lu Yu's pass and once again ruined the basket, 76ers fans had to admit that the situation was over!
Iverson was still not ready to give up. He passed Hoiberg with a trick, and avoided Lu Yu's "black hand" with a behind-the-back dribble. But the huge body of Charles Oakley appeared in front of him again. He sighed.
Take a breath.
Helplessly, the ball was passed to Halprin's hands on the outside, and Halprin hit a three-pointer.
However...it seemed that he arrived too late. Even Iverson had no special expression on his face and just walked back silently.
Lu Yu, who was returning to catch the ball, passed by Iverson and left behind a sentence that Iverson will never forget in his life.
"Allen, you can't beat me today. Do you know why I have always been confident in myself? It's not because of my own strength, but because the teammates around me can share a lot of my responsibilities, but you? But you are like a
The lone brave man stood on a stage that did not belong to you and acted out a stage play similar to that of a lone hero with a group of backup dancers who did not match up with you."
"95:81, the point difference has widened to 14 points, and there is only more than one minute left in the game. The Bulls have already replaced Lu Yu and other main players, and the 76ers are also preparing to make substitutions. We see
Iverson is preparing to leave the game, which means this game should be over!" The on-site commentator lamented, "The final ending made us feel very abrupt. Maybe the 76ers' season will take time! But we are happy to see it.
The Bull is getting stronger and stronger, and Lu Yu is getting better and better."
At the end of the game, Iverson and Lu Yu hugged each other and handed over a piece of paper: "This is my phone number. We have time to train together in the summer."
He wanted to tell Lu Yu with practical actions that he had training!
Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, took the piece of paper, smiled, then raised his hand and shook it with Iverson.
"Thank you. If you have the chance, of course you can, but..." Lu Yu's voice was as elegant as the breeze flying in the gymnasium. "I think summer is still far away from me. This season has just begun. I have only one goal... that is
There."
Lu Yu's figure disappeared at the end of the locker room. His last action was to point his finger at the top of his head...
The championship flag hanging above the Bulls Arena.
