Carter was extremely embarrassed after being exposed. I heard he said during an interview with the media that he would have a good fight with Lu Yu in the All-Star Game!
Lu Yu just wanted to say: "Let's wait until you can reach the playoffs."
The Raptors are still languishing in ninth place in the Eastern Conference.
At this point, the all-star roster is released.
Western Conference starting lineup: Steve Francis, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, Shaquille O'Neal.
Substitute players: Dirk Nowitzki, Steve Nash, Karl Malone, Chris Webber, Gary Payton, Peja Stojakovic, Wally Szczerbiak.
Eastern starting lineup: Vince Carter, Lu Yu, Michael Jordan, Anthony Walker, Dikembe Mutombo
Substitute players: Jason Kidd, Jermaine O'Neal, Paul Pierce, Tracy McGrady, Ray Allen, Alonzo Mourning, Allen Iverson.
Iverson was miserable because of the three backcourt players in the Eastern Conference, Lu Yu was the top vote-getter, Carter was second, and Jordan was third, which pushed Iverson to the bench.
The starting players are selected by vote, and the substitutes are voted by 29 NBA coaches to select 7 substitutes from the Eastern and Western All-Star Game.
In terms of coaching, the Western Conference All-Star coach is Dallas Mavericks coach Don Nelson, and the Eastern Conference All-Star coach is Nets coach Byron Scott.
Scott is a well-deserved Eastern Conference All-Star coach.
After all, the Nets are currently ranked first in the Eastern Conference. This record is here, and Lu Yu remembers that in his previous life, the Nets finally reached the finals.
Although he was beaten up by the Lakers.
But in the weak Eastern Conference, the Nets are the strongest team, and they deserve that title.
On the contrary, the choice of Don Nelson as the head coach of the Western Conference is a bit embarrassing. Although the Mavericks have a good record this season, they are only ranked fourth in the Western Conference. If you want to compare Nelson, the Kings' Adelman is more suitable. This year's Princeton system is playing
How crazy, fans all over the United States love this style of play.
If it weren't for the most notorious black whistle in NBA history, it wouldn't be the Lakers who beat the Nets, but the Kings!
Poor Nets.
Everyone he meets will end up getting a beating.
As for the all-star lineup,
Lu Yu estimates that the lineup will need to be adjusted by then.
For example, when we played against the Lakers a few days ago, O'Neal took a rest due to injury. Who knows if he will be fine when the All-Star Game starts.
This year, due to the use of zone defense, the inside players are playing more aggressively, one versus two at every turn. The inside players are more likely to be injured. On the contrary, although the scoring efficiency of the outside players has dropped, they are less likely to be injured because there are fewer breakthroughs.
Lu Yu not only has to participate in the All-Star game, but also has a rookie game to play. At the same time, he also signed up for the three-point contest.
The three-point contest was established in 1986, and it was from that time on that the game gained a reputation as a marksman.
Many people's definition of a shooter is nothing more than that he has a long shooting range in the game, and his three-pointers in the three-point field are much higher than those of ordinary stars. If you ask who are the shooters in the NBA?
Many people blurted out: Ray Allen, Reggie Miller, etc.
But in fact, there is another person who averages less than 0.7 three-pointers per game, but is also known as a historical marksman. He is Larry Bird.
Big Bird's three-point ability is not outstanding, so why is he considered a marksman?
His career three-point shooting percentage of 37.6% is barely adequate. His highest three-point shooting percentage in a season was as high as 42.3%, while his lowest season was as low as 21%.
Looking at his 13-year career, his three-point shooting percentage was less than 30% in four seasons. If this were compared to today, it would definitely be at the level of an ordinary player.
The reason why he is called a marksman is that Bird once participated in the three-point contest.
He won the NBA Three-Point Shootout Championship for three consecutive years from 1986 to 1988, hence the famous quote: "Are you all here to compete for second place?"
No matter who heard this, he would definitely feel unhappy and even have the urge to hit him.
But there was no way. Bird was so good in the Three-Point Contest at the time. He was qualified to say such arrogant words. Do you really think that Bird's trash talk king came to you for nothing?
Lu Yu also wanted to win several three-point contest championships in a row until the splash brothers entered the NBA. Then he said to Curry and Thompson: "Are you all here to compete for second place?"
But for Lu Yu, now is not the time to consider the All-Star Game.
The most important thing today is the game against the Golden State Warriors. Although this Warriors team does not have Curry, Thompson, or... Brother Mouth.
But there is his "good brother" Arenas!
At noon, Lu Yu made an appointment with Arenas for dinner.
Looking at the statistics, Arenas is not bad, averaging 10.9 points, 2.8 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.4 steals per game, but he is not even on the list of best rookies, let alone competing with Lu Yu.
Firstly, there is a rookie on the team who is better than him. Secondly, the Warriors' record is really miserable. They are last in the Western Conference and their winning rate is not even as high as the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference.
Food couldn't stop Arenas' mouth. After seeing Lu Yu, he kept complaining: "Lu, I really envy you for joining the Bulls. Here you are the boss of the team, you can control the ball, you can lead
The team wins, but it’s really uncomfortable for me to play for the Warriors. I’ve never been so miserable, and I can’t see any hope for the Warriors.”
"If you think about it, at least it's not your responsibility for the Warriors to be at the bottom now. Think about what you said when you were selected by the Warriors?" Lu Yu reminded.
Arenas almost jumped up after being selected by the Warriors and shouted: "I knew the Golden State Warriors would choose me, ta ma de the Golden State Warriors, I love you to death!"
It's okay if I don't mention it, but I get even more angry when I mention Arenas.
"Lu, you liar, the word thank you in Chinese is not ta ma de at all! I was laughed at by the media for a long time."
"oh?"
Lu Yu smiled: "Then did they tell you how to say thank you?"
"No, it's not the pronunciation you said anyway. What you said means swearing. I understand." Arenas was very sure.
Lu Yu thought for a while and said with a guilty look on his face: "Okay, I apologize to you. This time I will tell you how to say thank you."
"real?"
"Of course, we are friends."
Lu Yu is very sincere.
"Then teach me quickly." Arenas said.
Lu Yu glanced around and confirmed that there were no Chinese people before he lowered his voice and said, "Thank you. The real Chinese pronunciation should be... ba ba da wo!"
"ba ba da wo? Okay, I understand, ba ba da wo Lu!"
Lu Yu: Children can be taught.
Arenas then continued to pour out his bitter words to Lu Yu. Not only was the team's record poor, but the team's head coach was a bad guy who didn't understand the game at all. Richardson was a ball tyrant who knew how to handle the ball without knowing how to handle it.
The ball was given to the point guard and Larry Hughes, who was competing with him, ran as slow as a pig and broke through as soft as shit.
Hearing Arenas say this, Lu Yu couldn't help but interrupt: "Please, we are still eating."
"If it weren't for eating, I would definitely have said more disgusting words to describe them!" Arenas smiled bitterly: "Lu, what do you think I should do?"
Lu Yu smiled and said: "What else can you do? Play hard. The rookie contract is only for three years. After the contract ends, it is not your own business which team you want to go to. Besides, bad teams have the benefits of bad teams. Anyway,
No matter how you play, you will lose. You just throw the ball, no matter whether it is reasonable or not, just make the data look good."
In fact, the players on this Warriors team think so.
Everyone can see that the Warriors have no hope this season. Everyone comes to the game with the mentality of improving statistics. They can't beat them anyway, so they might as well think about themselves and try to get the next big contract.
Jason Richardson averaged 14.4 points per game this season, and his style of play is violent, and he can fly up and dunk at every turn. He attracts more fans than Arenas' style of play.
In Lu Yu's previous life, Richardson was really ahead of Arenas in the Warriors. Whether it was team status or on-field statistics, Arenas was far inferior to Richardson.
But Richardson's style of play can be regarded as an ordinary statistics brush at best, and the statistics are not ugly. Even at his peak, he averaged about 20 points per game.
Definitely not as awesome as Arenas at his peak.
Lu Yu said with a smile: "Can't throw it? You are a point guard, the ball is in your hands, and you throw it after halftime, what can he do to you?"
Arenas immediately shook his head: "In that case, the coach will definitely replace me, but you are right, as long as he is not on the court, I will just throw it away. Besides Jason, there is no one else on the team who can
Score."
Lu Yu finally figured it out.
During this period after entering the NBA, Arenas' edges have been smoothed, and he probably wants to become arrogant again until he joins the Wizards again and becomes the team leader.
Although Arenas is very well-behaved now, when he becomes the boss, he might run up to Lu Yu and complain.
That night, the Bulls easily won 110-89.
This was not the first time Lu Yu played against the Warriors, but he didn't feel that the Warriors would be so bad last time. Only this time did he realize that the Warriors were even worse than last time.
The team coach has no tactics at all. Simple running without the ball is considered a set of tactics. After the key players finish running, they find that it is a singles tactics?
Larry Hughes's advancement speed is still very slow, and he doesn't launch fast breaks at all. In positional battles, they are whoever gets the ball. If the Bulls defend more aggressively and lock down the zone, the Warriors will not have any shooting opportunities.
It's exactly the way high school students play.
After all, Larry Hughes is also a strong defensive player. As a result, he didn't defend at all during the game. He only defended symbolically for a while. Seeing this situation, Lu Yu didn't take a few more shots and didn't even think about it after the game.
Feel free to say hello to your teammates.
What surprised Lu Yu the most was that the Warriors actually had a strong man like Dampier on the inside.
It's a pity that the coach didn't arrange any tactics for him. Perhaps his offensive ability is limited, but it doesn't make sense to let such a strong man play as a substitute.
Just arrange him to play a pick-and-roll, and there will be better shooting opportunities.
A melee-type center was put on the bench and had to run back and forth with a group of guys who didn't pass the ball very much. He ran more than a dozen times and didn't even know whether the ball was square or round.
In Lu Yu's view, the head coach of the Warriors is simply an amateur.
Anyone with one-tenth of Steve Kerr's level would not be able to fight like this. Of course... Kerr's level has always been a mystery to Lu Yu.
Lu Yu thought for a long time but didn't remember the name of the Warriors' current head coach.
It wasn't until I heard the on-site commentator say: "Eric Musselman called timeout again" that I remembered that this guy's name was Eric Musselman.
Musselman is the Warriors' eighth head coach in more than seven seasons since 1994.
He is also the youngest head coach in NBA history.
Players can be young, after all, youth means potential, but coaches cannot be young, because youth means failure.
Musselman signed a three-year, $4.5 million coaching contract with the Warriors.
The Warriors, which originally had a very young lineup, now have a veritable "kid king."
The 37-year-old Musselman is the son of Timberwolves and Cavaliers head coach Bill Musselman. Eric has served as an assistant coach with the Hawks, Magic and Timberwolves.
He previously coached in the CBA for 7 years and achieved a record of 270 wins and 122 losses.
As for which CBA team it is... Lu Yu really doesn't know.
He has always hoped that a big fan could tell him, but unfortunately he has never met one.
In the whole game, Richardson scored 17 points, 3 assists and 5 rebounds. Arenas, perhaps after being reminded by Lu Yu, deliberately tried a few more times this time, and the effect was pretty good, and he also scored 17 points.
But he had 3 more assists than Richardson.
Lu Yu is still the Bulls' highest scorer. He played 34 minutes and made 10 of 17 shots, 4 of 9 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 26 points, 3 rebounds, 8 assists, and 4 steals.
In one game, everyone can clearly see how big the gap is between the Warriors' two rookies, Richardson and Arenas, and Lu Yu.
The two rookies of the Warriors are still at the stage where they only know what playing is, but Lu Yu already knows how to lead the team to win.
After the game, Arenas was very happy.
At least the data is pretty good. As for winning or losing, it doesn't matter at all.
What makes him even more happy is that he can easily meet Chinese fans and Chinese reporters at the Bulls' home court.
Because he has a good relationship with Lu Yu, fans will applaud him every time he scores a goal, which is full of goodwill.
Arenas is even more well-behaved. Every time he hears this kind of encouragement, he shouts to the fans——
