The 220th chapter piercing the crotch and hitting the ground, the ball is divided?
Lu Yu was not supposed to participate in the Rookie Challenge this year.
The league has a rule that players participating in the All-Star Game cannot participate in the Rookie Challenge. Yao Ming in Lu Yu's previous life did not participate in the Rookie Challenge because he beat O'Neal to become the All-Star starter.
But this time, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the alliance intends to cultivate Lu Yu as a facade.
Just for Lu Yu's sake, I kept silent about this rule.
Maybe it’s because of the sluggishness of rookies in recent years, or maybe it’s because of the sluggish market in the post-Jordan era. Before there’s anyone who can support the NBA’s reputation, it’s the 1996 generation who are supporting the league’s reputation. And in the future, Lu will be the candidate for suspension.
Remain.
Therefore, the alliance will try its best to satisfy Lu Yu in any way that can increase his exposure.
And since the Rookie Challenge, only two rookies, Grant Hill and Tim Duncan, have become All-Stars in their rookie seasons, especially Grant Hill, who is very similar to Lu Yu’s situation now.
He became an All-Star starter and the All-Star vote winner within one year.
Even Grant Hill is worse.
The Pistons selected Hill with the third overall pick in the 1994 draft.
After Grant Hill was selected, the then American boss Colin immediately called him to congratulate him. The lineup was so huge that Jordan, the god of basketball at that time, would have to be defeated.
Grant Hill played in 70 games during his rookie season, averaging 19.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, 5 assists and 1.8 steals per game.
This year was also the time when Jordan retired for the first time after winning three consecutive championships. At this time, the NBA urgently needed a new lineup to support the NBA's appearance.
The arrival of Grant Thill soon gave David Stern hope.
In his rookie season, Hill was not only selected as an All-Star starter, but also ranked first in the All-Star voting and became the NBA's top vote-getter.
As a rookie, he became the All-Star vote leader, becoming the first player in the four major professional sports in North America to do so as a rookie. In the rookie selection after the end of the season, he and Kidd tied for the best rookie of the year, which became a legend.
NBA officials even called him "Jordan's successor", thus Jordan's first successor was born.
But that year was the second year of the Rookie Challenge, and the league couldn't directly break the rules for him.
This year is different. The Rookie Challenge has changed to three or four different ways of playing. The rules of the year have long been thrown into the Java Kingdom. No one will mention it. The alliance is naturally happy to see the results and increase Lu Yu's exposure.
I hope Lu Yu can become the next Grant Hill...ah, I can't be that unlucky guy.
When the sophomore team attacked, Quentin Richardson broke through. Lu Yu did not defend carefully and let him go inside. Quentin took off from the middle and wanted to dunk, but Jason Richardson took off from the side and slapped him.
Drop the basketball from his hand.
Both are named Richardson, but on the court, it is not the time to talk about seniority. Jason Richardson doesn’t care about any rookie challenge. His goal is the slam dunk contest, so he has to show it to the fans.
In addition to taking off and dunking, taking off and blocking shots are the best ways to show off your own bounce.
Quentin Richardson lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground, unable to quickly return to defense. Battier picked up the ball and passed it directly to Lu Yu who was about to leave without thinking. He was often played by Lu Yu on fast breaks in the NCAA.
Knowing the speed of Lu Yu's quick attack.
Lu Yu took the ball in two steps and came to the three-point line. The opponent quickly returned to defense, but retreated relatively far back. Lu Yu did not force a breakthrough and directly shot a shot from outside the three-point line. Whoops, hit.
7 to 0
If it were the regular season, it would have been called a timeout. Lu Yu's three-pointer let his opponents know that Lu Yu's registration for tomorrow's three-point contest was not a joke. His three-pointers were really accurate.
No one paused, and the game continued. Everyone wanted to see how many points Lu Yu could score.
Quentin Richardson is a little speechless. The Rookie Challenge has just started and he can’t even dunk a single one?
Originally, the second-year players had already played once last year and found that no matter how hard they defended, they would not steal the spotlight from the All-Star players, so they did not defend too hard and focused on the offensive end.
Anyway, it’s just a performance. If you can dunk, you will never go for a layup. If you can pull the bar, you will never pick up the basket. If you can fast break, you will never make a wild shot from the outside.
Only Lu Yu, who was playing in the All-Star Game anyway, was more normal-minded and made the right shots without thinking about the limelight.
Quentin Richardson called a screen and mismatched Jason Richardson.
Lu Yu simply didn't help with the defense and just let the two of them do it.
Quentin changed direction to get rid of Jason's defense, then stopped and shot, finally hitting the target, 7 to 2.
After scoring the goal, Quentin made a salute gesture to Lu Yu. He would be too embarrassed if he didn't score. Lu Yu left one side open to make it easier for him to attack.
Lu Yucai doesn't know how to defend, not to mention Quentin is a teammate of his Bulls team.
In the first-year offense, Lu Yu dribbled the ball across half court, played a pick-and-roll with Gasol, lowered his center of gravity and rushed to the right. After attracting Mimu's defense, he passed the ball from behind and the basketball passed from Mimu's crotch.
pass through.
Behind the back, hitting the ground, passing through the crotch!
Such an imaginative pass reminds many fans that Lu Yu once used his elbow to pass the ball in the NCAA. It is simply crazy.
Gasol received the pass from Lu Yu, lifted the ball and dunked it into the basket.
9 to 2
In the second-year offense, Quentin Richardson also started passing the ball. Mike Miller caught the ball in the open and hit a three-pointer, 9-5.
Lu Yu picked and rolled again, but this time Quentin Richardson still didn't bypass the defense. Lu Yu felt that after returning to the Bulls, he had to talk to Richardson about why his defensive level fluctuated up and down.
Lu Yu suddenly thought that Quentin seemed to be chasing him for an autograph that time?
Is it a lack of motivation?
After the pick-and-roll, Lu Yu passed the ball to Battier. Battier used the screen to sneak into the corner and caught the ball and hit a three-pointer.
12 to 5
Lu Yu assisted for the second time.
Tony Parker, who was sitting in the audience, kept staring at Lu Yu. Popovich told him that if he wanted to learn, he should regard Lu Yu as his learning object.
Moreover, he and Popovich also studied Lu Yu specifically.
To say that he is fast, he does not seem to be as fast as players like Iverson. Even Parker feels that he is much faster than Lu Yu. To say that he can shoot accurately, he is not as good as those pure shooters. Of course, this has
The reason why Lu Yu faces greater defensive pressure than a pure shooter, but from the current point of view, it may not be so outrageous. To say that he has good physical fitness, Parker feels that it may be a joke.
Although Lu Yu's height is considered good among guards, if it is divided equally among all positions, it is a general level. Lu Yu's jumping is good, but there are many players in the NBA who can jump. The second-year rookie Swift has better physical fitness.
It's a blast, isn't it just that?
So why can a player like him become the core player of an NBA team and lead the team to the top three records in the Eastern Conference?
Parker clearly remembers Popovich pointing his finger at his head when he answered this question.
Basketball IQ.
Lu Yu is the kind of player who doesn't look strong at all.
But only after actually playing against him did we know that he really just didn't look strong. Not only was he strong in changes on the offensive end, he could adjust his style of play according to the type of opponent. He was even very good on the defensive end.
Make defensive adjustments based on the opponent's offensive routine.
He also knows what type of play his teammates are good at.
Just like the ball just now, several times before Battier was left open in the top arc, but Lu Yu did not choose to pass the ball. But this time when Battier appeared in the bottom corner, Lu Yu passed it without hesitation.
And Parker knows that Battier has the highest shooting percentage from the bottom corner.
However, it was just a performance game, and Parker just sat on the sidelines and expressed his feelings.
In a performance game, the defense of the players is naturally very lax. Kenyon Martin got rid of Battier's defense with a cut and cut directly to the basket.
Mike Miller waved his hand, and the basketball went straight to the basket in an arc. Martin jumped high and smashed the ball into the basket in the air.
Seeing that he lost his position, Shane stopped chasing.
"Kenyon...Ma...Ding..."
The on-site MC lengthened the ending to arouse the atmosphere of the scene. It was a beautiful alley-oop dunk, and the scene was immediately ignited.
Gasol served from the baseline, Lu Yu received the ball, took a step and then directly passed the ball from the backcourt throughout the court. Jason Richardson picked up the basketball and ran towards the basket like an eagle.
Split button.
The basket was vibrating as it was dunked.
"pretty!"
"Wow, this dunk is really cool!"
Only then did all the fans realize that this Rookie Challenge seemed to be better-looking than previous years.
The opponent barely even made it past half court, and the offense here was over.
Richardson ran back and high-fived Lu Yu to celebrate.
Arenas pouted: "If I hadn't called Lu Yu, do you think you would have scored so easily?"
He just finished mumbling, and then looked at the coach with hopeful eyes, not knowing when the coach would let him play.
Lu Yu turned his back and held the ball with his left hand, leaned against Quentin Richardson, then made a direct change of direction to pass his defense, went to the basket from the left, and easily picked the basket with his right hand to score.
18 to 9, Lu Yu scored the 9th point.
At the same time, he received 3 assists.
This is equivalent to 16 of the 18 points scored by the first-year team being related to Lu Yu.
The second-year team attacked and passed the basketball a few times. Lu Yu saw the opportunity and directly stole it. Since the wind breathing method improved a lot, Lu Yu found that his judgment on the basketball's flight path was becoming more and more accurate.
Usually in the regular season, opponents are more cautious and it is a bit difficult to steal the ball, but when everyone takes it lightly, the cut is particularly accurate.
After the steal, Lu Yu accelerated along the sideline. Mike Miller came over to delay. Lu Yu threw the ball directly to his left side and then ran out from his right sideline.
The entire audience was dumbfounded. Is this... a man-ball split?
Are all the moves in football used in basketball?
After passing Miller, everything was clear in front of Lu Yu. Lu Yu stepped into the free throw line, raised the basketball with one hand, and jumped directly into the air. The fans in the entire arena seemed to be frozen, and they were all watching blankly.
Take this ball.
"boom!"
Dunk in!
People wake up.
The applause erupted from the audience and almost overturned the dome of the First United Center in Philadelphia.
This time, the second-year team had to apply for a timeout.
