Chapter 197 Flanking! Flanking! What's the use of asking for a face!
On the other side, Jordan and Artest were enemies and were extremely jealous.
In fact, there is another gimmick in this game, but compared with Lu Yu's traffic, this gimmick is a bit worth mentioning - Jordan's ribs were broken by Artest's elbow this summer.
After receiving the ball at a 45-degree angle, Jordan tested Artest with his back.
Artest didn't want to let it go, so he jammed Jordan with his calf, and then kept putting pressure on Jordan with his arms. Jordan suddenly turned around and made a shooting posture, and Artest quickly pounced.
Who knew this was Jordan's fake move.
Jordan feinted and let the ball go to the right. Artest knew he had been deceived, so he immediately regained his focus and moved laterally to the right.
At this time, Jordan stopped suddenly and his body was already floating in the air.
It's his specialty fadeaway shot.
Artest tried his best, but he only allowed himself to touch Jordan's elbow. The referee's whistle sounded and the thug fouled.
Jordan then threw the ball, and the basketball drew a perfect arc in the air and fell into the basket.
twenty one
"Hey, young man, you almost guarded me." Jordan said trash talk directly after landing.
Artest:mmp
Marcus Feizer quickly indicated that it was his fault, thinking that when Jordan rushed to the right, after Artest lost his position, he should immediately go to cover up the defense.
If it had been left before, Fezer would never admit it.
Because what does defense have to do with him?
But now he is different. He feels that he has to integrate into this team, and to integrate into the team, the first thing to do is to defend, because what this Bulls team is most proud of is that they
Iron-blooded defense.
When Lu Yu walked past the bench, he heard Cartwright shouting to Feizer: "Double attack, don't hesitate!"
It seems that the people who know Jordan best are Jordan's old teammates. This really leaves no way for the Wizards to survive.
Lu Yuneng ran evenly with the immortal Hamilton, and they used a double-attack tactic against Jordan. There was really no one else on the Wizards who could score.
Can Jordan be caught in a double attack?
It might not have been possible a few years ago, but it's really not necessarily the case now.
When the Bulls attacked, Lu Yu called a screen, Miller came up, and Lu Yu rushed out from behind Miller. Hamilton had no chance to follow up.
Kwame Brown quickly retreated.
This is the first matchup between Adverbial and second place in today’s game.
But he was too tall, and although his stride was long enough, his movement was still much slower. After Lu Yu passed him in one step, he waited for him to catch up and directly pulled his hips back to make a shooting motion.
Kwame Brown quickly twisted his body and rushed over. Who knew that Lu Yu didn't shoot at all, but turned his face to the outside and stared directly at Artest in the bottom corner.
Jordan originally wanted to come in and block Lu Yu's shot, but when he saw that Lu Yu had the intention of passing the ball, he had no choice but to step back.
Lu Yu passed the ball, but it was not passed to Artest. Instead, with a flick of his wrist, the basketball hit the ground from Kwame Brown's crotch.
"No look pass!" Zhang Weiping shouted excitedly: "Lu Yu made a beautiful crotch pass."
Feizer cut in from one side and received the ball with a dunk, ending the offense. No one expected that the one who scored four points in the opening practice was not the Bulls' Lu Yu, nor Miller and Artest, but
It’s Feizer who has been silent for a long time recently!
"The Bulls' cooperation in these two attacks was wonderful. Lu Yu's judgment on the court was so accurate. His passing and his screens created easy scoring opportunities for Feizer." Sun Yiping praised.
In the next round, Jordan caught the ball again at a 45-degree angle and was about to attack.
He suddenly discovered that the Bulls were flanking him?
"Damn Bill, being a teammate with you was the worst decision I made." Jordan didn't care about the game on the court and directly sprayed Cartwright on the sidelines.
Cartwright smiled, knowing Jordan was joking.
The two of them have been teammates for so many years and know each other very well. If Jordan was really angry, he wouldn't yell at him like this on the court.
But it seems that the difficulties he created really gave Jordan a headache.
Jordan could only pass the ball to Christian Laettner, who was already in the open space. Like Cartwright, Laettner was Jordan's teammate during his three consecutive championships.
This was Laettner's fate. Jordan and Laettner were teammates at the beginning of his career, and they became teammates again when Jordan's career ended.
Maybe selling Laettner was the wrong decision.
After all, he still had a basket. Laettner made a move and scored.
5 to 4
But Cartwright was not worried at all. He would rather let Laettner score 30 points than let Jordan score 30 points.
"I didn't expect that after the game started, the Bulls would choose to flank Jordan, but it seems unwise to let go of Laettner. After all, Laettner has a soft shooting touch." Sun Yiping said.
"You can't say that either."
Zhang Weiping shook his head: "For a big player like Laettner, his physical strength will be consumed quickly as the game length increases, and his shooting percentage will naturally drop by then."
Sun Yiping was stunned, he had not considered this aspect.
After all, the guidance is still not as professional as Zhang’s.
…
Lu Yu made a sudden shot from outside the three-point line and hit a three-pointer to overtake the score.
…
Jordan forced a shot, causing Fizer to foul and go to the free throw line.
…
Miller shot from the high post and scored easily.
…
Wizards head coach Doug Collins couldn't hold it in anymore. He had to make changes. In fact, before the draft, he once suggested that Jordan choose Lu Yu, but unfortunately he missed it in the end.
Cartwright, who was commentating on Lu Yu's NCAA games at the time, was a blessing in disguise. Not only did he get Lu Yu, but he was also promoted from assistant coach to head coach of the Bulls.
I can only say that people are more irritating than others.
He called a timeout and arranged a misplaced singles tactic. Of the Bulls' three outside players, Lu Yu, Artest and Trenton Hassell, it seems that Hassell is the easier one to bully.
Let Jordan play him alone and the success rate will be higher.
But if you play Hassel alone, you may face the same problem as you did when playing Artest, and become flanked by your opponent.
The only way to solve this problem is to choose someone else, and that person is Lu Yu.
After the pause ends.
Jordan asked for the ball from beyond the three-point line for the first time. After using two pick-and-rolls, he finally caught Lu Yu at the elbow.
"Is Jordan going to beat Lu Yu in the low post for this goal?" Zhang Weiping said: "Jordan is about the same height as Lu Yu, but obviously Jordan has better physical fitness and experience. Although Jordan is much older now, his body fat is
The rate is still far lower than many NBA players."
"This is the first head-to-head confrontation between Jordan and Lu Yu!" Sun Yiping remembered this gimmick.
All the fans in the stadium also stood up and applauded Jordan. The fans in the stadium who had been silent for a long time finally became excited.
One-on-one battles between stars are fans' favorite part of the game.
Especially stars who have grievances.
The feud between Jordan and Lu Yu has already left a deep mark in the hearts of fans.
Who knows, the next second,
The style of painting changes...
Jordan dribbled the ball and was about to squeeze Lu Yu, but found that Lu Yu suddenly gave up his position and blocked his baseline. On the other side, Artest blocked his top line without hesitation.
"You brat, don't you even have the courage to fight alone?"
Jordan sprayed: "When my grandma was playing basketball, she was not as weak and incompetent as you."
"Your grandma plays WNBA. Sorry, this is the NBA." Lu Yu spat back without giving any face.
Anyway, the tactic arranged by the coach is to carry out the double-teaming to the end.
In this regard, Lu Yu admired Cartwright's face and was really a loyal fan of Houheixue.
The fans in the audience yelled.
Can I still have a face?
Even if it's one-on-one, all the fans in the stadium are waiting to see your duel?
But you just waved your hand and you double-teamed me again?
Is there any other star in the league who would do such a thing? He is really a loser to the stars. This kind of person is not worthy of being the boss of the team!
The boos from the fans in the audience became louder and louder than when Lu Yu first entered the venue.
Lu Yu didn't care. When it comes to basketball, fans like to watch the plot, but the players and the team's coaching staff only focus on winning or losing.
Americans admire heroism. Sometimes when Iverson encountered O'Neal's misplaced singles, he would not ask his teammates to help, but chose to bear it to the end.
The key is, can you fucking carry it?
Besides being thrown to the ground, are there any other consequences?
Lu Yu felt that he could guard Jordan alone, and he wanted to do the same. After all, it was rare to face Jordan, but the team had a shameless coach, and this coach knew the terror of Jordan. After all, Cartwright and Jordan
We have been teammates for so many years.
Maybe he thinks too much about the current Jordan.
But insurance comes first.
As for face, is face important?
As long as we can win, what will happen if we don’t have this face!
It has to be said that Cartwright has learned the essence of an excellent coach. Although many coaches appear to be decent on the surface, in fact, the coaches who can win the championship are more shameless than the other.
For example, Chuck Daly, the head coach of the Bad Boy Legion, who made Jordan bleed when he shouted for daring to enter the paint.
"You will guard Jordan later, I want to see his blood." Chuck Daly gave this face-to-face instruction to the Detroit Pistons player Ma Hong who was about to play.
Take Popovich, for example, without his permission, no one in his stepping team would take a harmful kick behind the back of infamy.
Jordan did not expect that Lu Yu would choose to call a double attack when the audience had already stood up to heighten the atmosphere. However, he was already at the elbow area at this time, and he believed that he had the ability to put the basketball into the basket.
He turned around with a strong push, and squeezed through the gap between Lu Yu and Artest. The force of the push was so strong that Lu Yu took two steps back.
Feizer's cover defense failed to interfere with Jordan's layup.
Lu Yu spread his hands helplessly, still underestimating Jordan's power.
Jordan breathed a long sigh of relief and finally scored in a sports battle.
He raised his head and glanced at the scoreboard. It was 11:23. In just a few rounds, he was beaten 11:2 by the Bulls. Lu Yu still got everything he wanted on the offensive end, but he could only rely on tough post-up play to score.
In fact, this situation is not uncommon for the Wizards this season. When other teams play against the Wizards, they will selectively let go of the defense of two players and attack Jordan. However, no team does this as thoroughly as the Bulls.
This is also the reason why the Wizards have been losing this season. The winning rate so far this season is just over 40%, and they have the third-worst record in the Western Conference. Fortunately, they are in the Eastern Conference, barely ranking ninth.
There are too many bad teams in the Eastern Conference. The Cleveland Cavaliers, New York Knicks, Miami Heat, Atlanta Hawks, several teams are all competing with each other, whoever wins will be the grandson!
Jordan knew that he couldn't continue like this. If he wanted to open up on the offensive end, he definitely couldn't do it by himself.
His eyes fell on Hamilton and Leitner. Now that he was restricted, he could only see if he could find a breakthrough from the two of them.
As for Kwame Brown, he didn’t like him at all!
The Bulls scored again. Artest used the screen and rushed to the basket. The basketball was smashed into the basket by Artest like a boulder.
The person who passed the ball was Lu Yu.
Jordan's eyes showed a hint of helplessness. If he had been selected not by Kwame Brown but by Lu Yu, maybe he wouldn't have to struggle so much this season.
Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in this world!
