Chapter 196: The audience booed, I want to be a chasing boy
There is a reason why Wizards fans booed Lu Yu. At that time, the Wizards invited Lu Yu to participate in a trial training but Lu Yu refused. Jordan was even more jealous and belittled Lu Yu. When the media came to the media, they were even more jealous and described Lu Yu as being despised.
The Wizards' prickly head has already made Washington fans dislike Lu Yu.
When Jordan selected Kwame Brown, especially when Kwame Brown averaged only 4.5 points and 3.5 rebounds per game, and compared with Lu Yu's current statistics, the fans became even more surprisingly angry.
But they will not direct their anger at the wrong choice of Jordan. They will only say that it was because Lu Yu did not come to the tryout that the Wizards did not select him.
If Lu Yu agrees to try out with the Wizards, then the Wizards will definitely choose a better Lu Yu. The Wizards hold the No. 1 pick. Whoever can compete with the Wizards will blame Lu Yu for not looking down on the Wizards.
I am willing to come for a trial training.
Although the logic is weird, this is the voice of most fans.
Is Kwame Brown actually bad?
Lu Yu thinks it's not bad. If Kwame Brown can play properly, at least he won't be as bad as he was with the Wizards. It's a pity that as the first high school student No. 1 pick in history and Jordan's pick, Brown has
Under tremendous pressure.
He played in a total of 57 games during his rookie season, with only 14.3 minutes per game.
Because Jordan was eager to take the Wizards into the playoffs, Brown would be replaced if he made a mistake during the game, which dampened his enthusiasm.
Although he has always worked hard, whenever he performs poorly, people who have high expectations for him always throw disappointment and accusations at him without reservation, saying that he is a "parallel import number one".
If he is not the No. 1 pick, if he is a late first-round pick or a second-round pick and draws such an elite blue-collar insider, will he be able to fly like a charm?
The reason why he can only be a blue-collar player is simple: his basketball IQ is not high enough.
People say that NBA players must be full of talent. This is true, but it is not entirely true.
Not only the NBA, but also all basketball leagues around the world, there is also a very important consideration for professional players, which is basketball IQ. At least they must be able to understand and digest complex team tactics.
Kwame Brown may have first-class physical talent, but he lacks basketball IQ and is completely unable to digest complex team tactics.
Many players around Jordan do not have top physical talents, but they all have excellent football intelligence. Whether it is Cartwright in the first three consecutive games or Luke Longley in the last three consecutive games, they obviously do not have Kwame's ability.
With such physical talent, and even the physical conditions of Cole and Paxson, Jordan can still be trusted by Jordan and give him the responsibility of quasi-winners.
At the same time, Brown does not have the psychological quality of a professional player and his ability to withstand pressure is very poor.
You can use age as a reason, but the professional basketball arena will not wait for your maturity.
Opportunities may have been given to him more than once, but he failed to prove himself even once.
What was ruined by Jordan's scolding, this is all nonsense.
Kwame Brown once said that after entering the NBA, the basketball he was exposed to was completely different from that in high school. In high school, relying on personal ability and talent, everyone gave him the ball and he just put the ball in. But in the NBA, it is all about talent.
Everyone on the court plays with tactical coordination. It was the first time I came into contact with the distribution tactics on the tactical board, and I was troubled every day.
In fact, he is also a poor person.
Why can Lu Yu become the core of the Bulls?
Is it because Lu Yu relies on the physical talent brought by the breathing method?
Not really!
The breathing method may be able to continuously improve Lu Yu's physical talent, allowing Lu Yu to better adapt to the NBA's confrontational rhythm and make up for the innate shortcomings of yellow people.
But the foundation for Lu Yu to establish himself in the NBA is his excellent basketball IQ.
He can memorize hundreds of Bulls tactics and execute them meticulously during the game. This is Lu Yu's greatest talent that surpasses many players.
Lu Yu heard the boos from the audience and didn't take it seriously. He just smiled. He had experienced this situation many times.
Even in Boston where the boos were louder than this, he was able to remain calm.
His smile was just caught by the camera, and then Lu Yu's disdainful smile appeared on the big screen. The fans in the audience booed even louder. It must be said that the fans had a lot of scenes in mind.
As the lights dimmed, the boos from all the fans stopped abruptly, because the next players to appear were players from their own team.
The home fans began to chant the players' names at the top of their lungs and applauded their appearance.
No matter how bad the team is, it's still a team you join. Just like your own children, you can beat yourself up and scold yourself for poor academic performance, but if others say your child is a fool, that's absolutely not okay.
The Wizards starting players are:
Center: Kwame Brown
Power Forward: Christian Laettner
Small Forward: Michael Jordan
Shooting Guard: Richard Hamilton
Point Guard: Chris Whitney
Michael Jordan played last. As soon as he came out, the fans were already standing up and the applause was getting louder and louder. This shows how popular Jordan is in Washington.
Amid their cheers, No. 23 Michael Jordan walked into the court and high-fived his teammates one by one.
Lu Yu just wanted to say that how popular he is now, how miserable he will be when he leaves.
Jordan, please be more careful!
"Friends in the audience, the game has started, double jump ball... Kwame Brown jumped to the ball, but the direction he dialed the ball, well, he dialed the ball to the Bulls..." Sun Yiping saw it for the first time
This situation.
It stands to reason that Kwame Brown's bounce is much higher than that of Brad Miller. How could this happen?
Zhang Weiping smiled: "I heard a rumor that Brown's hands are too small to grasp the basketball. He often slips and cannot catch the ball during games. Of course, this may be a bit exaggerated, but he
It’s true that sometimes I can’t control the basketball in the air and dialing it in the wrong place may be the reason.”
Sun Yiping knew that Zhang Weiping was joking. No matter how small his hands were, they would not be smaller than ordinary people. This only meant that Kwame Brown was indeed not very smart.
Lu Yu stepped forward and received a pass from Trenton Hassell. Hamilton stayed close to Lu Yu, trying to prevent Lu Yu from starting to speed up.
"Lu Yu broke through...he broke through Hamilton's defense very easily. Let's take a look at the Bulls' spacing. Each player is very far apart, which creates a good breakthrough space for Lu Yu."
You can tell from the voice that it is Zhang Weiping directing.
When commentating, he likes to comment on the game in English such as spcing, inout, and ag-gressive.
It’s not to show off that he knows English, but because many basketball tactics first became popular in the United States. From a language perspective, the Chinese translation we translated is not vivid.
Have you ever seen English words popping up when explaining table tennis?
Another reason is that some tactics are very troublesome to speak in Chinese.
For example, what he always says is insiderout and ousiderin.
He can't always say, first hit in, then attract the defense, and then pass out to shoot a three-pointer. Or support from the outside, then empty the inside, and then hit in!
It's a bit awkward anyway.
Of course, there are also reasons for personal habits.
"Jordan made up for it, and Kwame Brown in front also took up his position."
Zhang Weiping continued to explain: "Lu Yu did not force the shot, but threw it to Artest on the outside. Jordan quickly returned to defense. I have to say that even though Jordan is older, his lateral speed is much faster than many young people.
Artest didn't take a shot and passed the ball to Miller in the high post. He played the ball very patiently."
It seemed that this round was about to end here. Zhang Weiping was just about to take a breath, but who knew that Miller didn't make a shot either.
"Ahem, Miller didn't take a shot. He passed the ball out again, and the one who caught the ball was... Marcus Fezer?"
Sun Yiping quickly added: "We can see that after Lu Yu passed the ball, he made a screen for Feizer, so that Feizer was free."
"Fizer took a shot from mid-range and hit the ball. Hamilton came over and the interference to Fizer was basically zero."
Zhang Weiping smiled and said: "This kind of combination of internal and external play is really interesting... It has been rumored that because Lu Yu became the core of the Bulls' tactics, Fizer was relegated to the sidelines. Now it seems that any player in this tactical system
, they all have their own place, and no one is said to be relegated to the sidelines.”
Feizer was actually a little stunned.
He didn't expect Lu Yu to cover him. This was the rare opportunity for him to be on the court with Lu Yu at the same time during this period, especially after Lu Yu switched to shooting guard.
Lu Yu smiled at him: "Well done! Marcus!"
Feizer also smiled: "Thank you!"
He suddenly felt that his previous decadence was simply a waste of time. He was simply not good enough to be the boss, so why bother bothering others? Wouldn't it be better to perform at his own level in such a team where each other achieves mutual success?
The last player who forced Lai Lai to sink in the end, wasn't it Drew who is now sitting on the bench?
He still has the ball to play, and the team's veteran Lu Yu is still covering for him, which is pretty good.
After figuring it out, Marcus Fezer felt that he had found his youth.
The Wizards were attacking, and Jordan was slightly surprised by the sharpness of the Bulls' offense. Moreover, the Bulls' style of play was completely different from the Bulls in his memory.
Lu Yu was very excited because he finally met an opponent who could run.
Hamilton kept running circles with Lu Yu. Even if the basketball had no intention of passing to him, he kept running and would not stop at all. Lu Yu just ran with him.
Hamilton was slightly surprised. No one in the league dared to run with him like this. What was the Bulls' No. 10 going to do?
Lu Yu just wanted to try the feeling of exhaustion.
He has learned through experimentation that the increase in wind breathing method caused by exhaustion of physical strength in training is far less than that of exhaustion in competition.
However, he often encounters rotation situations during the game, and the coach will deliberately maintain his physical strength.
As a result, he rarely exhausted his energy during the game.
This time it was rare to meet someone who could run and follow Hamilton in an open and honest manner.
Run, Mask Man, I want to be a storm-chasing boy!
Hamilton was speechless.
"How the hell am I going to catch the ball if you run after me like this?"
