It seems it's too late for the second-year team to make substitutions.
Lu Yu has already got the feeling and wants to keep pressing unless...unless Lu Yu is replaced. Unfortunately, the head coach of the first-year team is Lu Yu's dearest Cartwright.
Cartwright was not willing to let his disciples get tired in an insignificant game like the rookie game, so he just waved his hand and let Tony Parker play.
Although Tony Parker is a speed guard, he plays very smartly. He is not the kind who can't come back when he puts his foot on the accelerator. For example, a certain famous Fujian player whose brain can never catch up with Tang Shen who has his own legs, Parker's brain is no slower than his legs.
, when facing a big defender, he always lets the opponent look at his taillights, but when facing a defender of the same speed, Parker usually makes the opponent get lost in his own spinning top.
In Lu Yu's previous life, people said that in good times, look to Parker, in bad times, look to Duncan, and in desperate times, look to Demon Sword. It can also be seen from this sentence that Parker is perhaps the least favored link in GDP.
McGrady once said: He is outstanding, but the system made him successful.
But in Lu Yu's eyes, Parker maintained a high level in the Spurs, from the initial breakthrough point to the breakthrough after the pick-and-roll, then to the first ball-handler and tactical initiator, and then to the pitcher in the later period.
It's McGrady. How many stars in the league can play different roles in their careers and continue to serve the team?
What is a system?
It's because wherever your abilities are, you are the system, and others can just build a team around you.
Jordan is the system,
Kobe is the system,
James is the system,
GDP is also a system, and Parker is part of the system, rather than taking advantage of the Spurs. He deserves his honor.
Parker made consecutive double changes to shake off Quentin Richardson, and then cut inside with one step. Richardson followed two steps and then gave up. Parker made a throw from the free throw line and made a hit.
Lu Yu frowned, and Richardson was habitually not defensive.
Perhaps it can be explained by the fact that this is the All-Star Rookie Challenge, but whether judging from his performance against the Spurs in the last game or his state on the field today, his defense was far below Lu Yu's expectations.
Of course, Richardson is still a great player.
But when Lu Yu persuaded Cartwright to trade for him, he told Cartwright that this was a guy who could prevent him from moving without the ball.
Now, let alone guarding Lu Yu's movements without the ball, Richardson's probability of guarding him even with the ball is much smaller.
Parker once again easily broke through Richardson's defense and assisted Gasol to hit a shot, ending the first half of the Rookie Challenge.
The Rookie Challenge was divided into two halves of 20 minutes each. Lu Yu played five minutes and scored 9 points and 3 assists.
The first grade team led 49 to 37.
Lu Yu didn't care if Cartwright didn't let him play. After all, he still had the All-Star game to play and the three-point contest to prepare for tomorrow.
Cartwright actually didn't want Lu Yu to waste his energy in the All-Star Game.
This is because many stars take a long time to find their form after the All-Star Game. This is simply because after working hard for a few months, they suddenly relax for a few days, and it will be much harder to come back tight again.
But in the second half, if Lu Yu was not allowed to play, Cartwright knew that he would be scolded by the fans.
In fact, in the first half, every time Lu Yu was replaced, the audience booed from time to time. Cartwright pretended not to hear it. Even during the midfield media interview, he would
To put it bluntly, just because you are Lu Yu's head coach, you cannot give special care to Lu Yu. There are many outstanding players in the first-year team, and everyone should get the same opportunity to showcase.
When Cartwright said this, he suddenly gained the favor of all the members of the first grade team.
Everyone has forgotten that during the day today, we were still in the hotel discussing a play style with Lu Yu as the core, so that Lu Yu could win the game and get the MVP.
Lu Yu appeared again, and finally the audience burst into applause again.
Everyone is looking forward to what kind of performance Lu Yu can bring in the second half after he sent a behind-the-back pass and passed the ball in the first half.
However, in the second half, Lu Yu played more reasonably and connected the team's offense more. The two sides played back and forth, which was very lively.
The fans in the audience kept shouting, this game looks really strenuous, because you have seen each other score, have you ever seen each other dunk?
Jason Richardson wants to end every shot with a dunk.
Kirilenko flew in the air and dunked with great force.
Even Shane Battier imitated Batman's movements after dunking.
Scarlett Johansson didn't think it was interesting to watch from the sidelines. You dunked each one with great enthusiasm. I didn't even see Lu Yu dunk a single one...
Even when the game was almost over, Lu Fei just scored another 19 points and 12 assists... Wait, Lu Yu scored another 19 points and 12 assists?
Some fans suddenly woke up.
It turned out that Lu Yu had already scored 28 points and 15 assists without saying a word. His scoring alone had quietly broken the historical Rookie Challenge scoring record.
The score between the two sides was 85 to 82, with the first-grade team leading by three points.
At first, Arenas threw the ball under his crotch, and Richardson's alley-oop dunk ignited the audience. However, unexpectedly, Kenyon Martin on the opposite side returned the favor with a big windmill.
At first glance, these two goals looked the same as the previous dunks. In fact, when these two goals occurred, the defenses of both sides had quietly strengthened.
Starting from these two dunks, the atmosphere in the arena became solemn.
87 to 84, the first-grade team still led by three points. The game was already tense, and the physical contact on the court became more and more intense.
"Hey, Quentin, if you can't guard me anymore, you're going to lose." Lu Yu said with a smile.
Quentin Richardson curled his lips: "Easy to say, you see who on our second-year team can guard you."
"You!" Lu Yu said.
"Stop it."
Quentin Richardson waved his hand: "I don't know my own level yet..."
"No no no."
Lu Yu shook his head: "Do you know why we chose to trade you to the Bulls in the first place? It was not because you reminded me before the conflict, nor because your style of play is more suitable for the Bulls, but because of your defense!"
"My defense?"
"Yes, your defense, you have the potential to be a top defender."
"I don't believe it." Quentin Richardson shook his head repeatedly.
Lu Yu was helpless, it seemed that what this guy lacked was not a little bit of self-confidence.
The two focused on the game again. Lu Yu changed his crotch and passed Quentin's defense. At this time, Quentin was already defending seriously, but Lu Yu still passed him.
"What a great guy."
Tony Parker sat off the court and secretly rubbed his hands. The Spurs lost the game against the Bulls a few days ago. To be honest, Parker is looking forward to playing against Lu Yu next time. He is even more looking forward to playing against Lu Yu in the playoffs.
Because he heard Duncan say that the regular season is just for fun, and only the playoffs are the real battlefield.
Lu Yu made a cross step and shook off Kenyon Martin who came from one side to help defend. When he saw the basket in front of him, he jumped up without hesitation.
The audience had already stood up and was ready to celebrate Lu Yu's first dunk in the game. Even Scarlett Johansson, who had been bored in the audience for a long time, became excited.
But their raised palms stopped abruptly, because Lu Yu didn't dunk at all, but threw the ball towards the backboard.
Kenyon Martin suddenly noticed a black shadow passing over his head, and then heard a "bang" sound!
It's over, I was detained.
Jason Richardson grabbed the basket with both hands and was greeted by a flood of cheers from the audience.
He had a feeling that he would win the dunk contest tomorrow.
Lu Yu also took advantage of the situation and got his sixteenth assist.
When walking back to half court, Lu Yu walked past Quentin Richardson and said, "How about it, do you want to dunk on opponents like that guy every day in the future?"
"I think." Quentin Richardson nodded without hesitation.
"If you want to, guard me from now on and don't let me score. If I score one goal, you will lose ten games without my passing." Lu Yu said seriously.
Quentin Richardson was counting on his fingers.
The season is now halfway through, which means that as long as Lu Yu scores four goals, he will not be able to catch his ball for half the season left.
Lu Yu just wanted to try to see if it had any effect, but after trying it, he suddenly discovered that it was not that Quentin would not be able to catch his ball in the future, but that he would not be able to catch the ball at all.
Wherever he goes, Quentin follows him.
After finally catching the ball, he made three fake moves in a row but failed to move him away. In the end, he had no choice but to pass it out.
Isn’t this effect too immediate?
"Lu, can I get your pass in the future?" Quentin Richardson actually still had free time to chat with Lu Yu.
Lu Yu: "Now you believe what I say, you are indeed a defensive genius."
Quentin was stunned for a moment: "Hey, how did I keep up with you in that round just now?"
Just as he was stunned, Lu Yu rushed in, caught the ball and shot, hitting a three-pointer.
Lu Yu’s 31st point.
"Think about what I said to you. You have been unable to catch my pass for ten games now, and there are still thirty games left." Lu Yu said with a smile.
Quentin Richardson decided not to talk anymore.
Even if I am exhausted, I still have to guard against Lu Yu today.
However, he also vaguely felt that as long as he focused on Lu Yu's request, he could guard against Lu Yu.
Finally, under his defense, Lu Yu felt like a dog-skin plaster was stuck on his butt in the second half. He couldn't get rid of him no matter what. Although he didn't lose points, the scoring process was quite difficult.
Gasol provided a screen for Lu Yu, and Lu Yu passed through the gap with a concussive dribble.
Get inside.
Facing Martin's supplementary defense.
Direct dunk to score!
Scarlett Johansson almost jumped with excitement!
The fans in the audience were excited.
This is Lu Yu’s 37th point of the game!
Only Quentin Richardson was about to burst into tears. He said to Gasol dissatisfied: "What are you doing in the pick-and-roll? Who asked you to pick-and-roll! I guarded him. I guarded him for most of the game. Is it easy for me?"
, just the last ten games, I didn’t even play the last ten games!”
Gasol was dumbfounded.
"What ten games? Is Richardson so excited about guarding Lu Yu?"
How did he know that the goal Lu Yu scored just now was the fourth goal after Lu Yu and Quentin agreed.
Richardson was distressed that he would never be able to receive passes from Lu Yu this season.
Before the game, the media were unanimously not optimistic about the victory of the second-year team, because many people said that just because the first-year team had Lu Yu, the pattern of the two rookie teams could be changed. As expected, the fans this time know football well, and the game was exactly what Lu Yu
One person spent it.
At the end of the game, the first-grade team won the game 109-102.
Lu Yu played amazing statistics, scoring 37 points, 21 assists, 3 rebounds, and 4 steals in the game.
His points and assists set a record in the Rookie Challenge, and he won the mvp without any suspense.
However, Cartwright, the head coach of the first-year team, was pleasantly surprised to find that during the period when Quentin Richardson was guarding Lu Yu, Lu Yu's scoring efficiency dropped a lot.
In other words, Quentin is indeed an excellent defensive player.
But Quentin was very frustrated. He walked up to Lu Yu and said, "Lu, I still didn't guard you."
Lu Yu shook his head: "No, you have defended very well."
"But I don't know why. Sometimes I defend well, and sometimes I defend poorly." Quentin asked in confusion.
Lu Yu thought for a while and said, "I think it may be an IQ problem."
"What? Are you saying that my IQ is very low?" Quentin felt that Lu Yu could doubt his defense, but he must not doubt his IQ.
Lu Yu asked: "Then let me ask you a question. You borrowed 500 yuan from me and 500 yuan from Cartwright. You went to the store and bought a pair of shoes for 970 yuan, and you have 30 yuan left. Return 10 yuan to me.
Cartwright has 10 yuan, and he has 10 yuan left. He owes me 490 yuan, and he owes Cartwright 490 yuan. 490490=980 plus his 10 yuan equals 990.
Where did the other 10 yuan go?"
Quentin Richardson was silent for a long time.
Finally, Youyou sighed: "Okay, Lu, I admit that it may indeed be my IQ problem. Can you tell me where the 10 yuan went?"
"No, but I can continue to pass the ball to you this season."
Lu Yu walked back to the locker room with a smile. Scarlett Johansson had already sent him a text message telling him the room number. He had to hurry up and attend the post-game news interview, so he had no time to accompany Quentin to do math problems here.
