Chapter 238 Who is the core of the Chinese men's basketball team?
Bulls win again?
And they won when Jason Kidd exploded. Fans in the Eastern Conference were dumbfounded. The Lakers in the Western Conference also won a game against the Kings, and the Bulls in the Eastern Conference won against the Nets twice in a row. Is it now popular to defeat the Nets?
This posture...
But when everyone saw the Nets' game data, they immediately understood why the Bulls won.
Except for Kidd, no one in the Nets scored in double figures. Such strange statistics have only appeared twice in the past 80 or 90 games of the Nets. The first time was in the last Eastern Conference Finals G1, Kidd won
to 20 minutes.
But Kidd's 20 points in g1 were normal, just 5 points higher than his average of 14.7 points per game. Although the Nets lost the game, it was only the result of poor performance by other players.
But in G2, Kidd scored 39 points, which was obviously abnormal. Only then did everyone realize that it was not that other players performed poorly, but that other players were restricted. Whenever players in other positions receive the ball, they will face
They were all defenses involving more than two people. Only when Kidd was playing in isolation, he encountered one-on-one defense.
Kidd only scored 39 points because of his high shooting percentage and explosive touch. On another night with a bad touch, he would probably have been the same as the last game, only around 20 points.
Many basketball legends have come forward.
Pippen: "If the Nets continue to let Kidd score such high points, they may be swept 4-0. Kidd's role is not to score, but to connect the team."
Magic Johnson: "The Bulls' style of play is very targeted. I think although their overall strength is not as good as the Nets, they have taken the lead in the series through targeted tactics."
Larry Bird: "Whether the Nets can win depends on whether Scott can make adjustments. If they cannot adjust in the shortest time, it is inevitable that they will lose this series."
Everyone is talking about the Bulls and Nets because the situation here is clearer, but no one is talking about the Western Conference series.
The killing there was so dark that no one wanted to be slapped in the face.
On May 25, the G3 game between the Kings and Lakers started at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
At this time, the Bulls' coaching staff was already studying the tactics of these two teams. In the eyes of the Bulls' coaching staff, the Nets were no longer afraid, and they had to take a longer-term view.
No one thought that Lu Yu's wild words would actually come true.
The third game was moved to the Lakers' home court, and the Lakers vowed to take revenge at home.
The Kings, who were gorgeous and innocent, seemed to have found a way to win in the first game. The transition between offense and defense in the first quarter was particularly smooth and they beat the Lakers 32:15. At the end of the first half, the Lakers trailed by 12 points. That was frightening.
The king is back.
How to prevent it?
Peja had unlimited three-point shots, and Fox's defense was useless.
As the core of the central axis, Divac's passing is more sophisticated than that of a defender. Whether it is a high-level pass inside or an outside pass after attracting the defense, the Lakers' defense is exhausted.
O'Neal couldn't defend the high post, and Webber and Divac kept firing from the high post.
The Lakers, who were used to falling behind and coming back, wanted to win the game in the second half. Unfortunately, the Lakers suddenly became incapable of playing in the third quarter. In the entire third quarter, the Lakers made 5 of 25 shots and only scored 12 points.
The entire Lakers team turned into blacksmiths.
After Fisher finished shooting, Fox shot. After Fox shot, Walker shot. After Walker shot, Kobe shot.
Fortunately, although Kobe is a blacksmith, he is different from other blacksmiths. After he finishes forging, he will always be accurate for a certain period of time, so in the fourth quarter, Kobe transformed into a quasi-god again.
Unfortunately, it's too late.
The Lakers trailed by 23 points at the end of the third quarter. Although Kobe scored 16 points in the fourth quarter, they were unable to make a comeback. In the entire second half, the Lakers made 18 of 56 shots, with a disastrous shooting percentage. Although the Kings only took 35 shots in the second half, they got 26 free throws and the Lakers 9.
, the number of free throws in the game was 35:15 compared to the Kings and the Lakers.
All the fans were stunned when they saw this number of free throws.
Especially the Lakers home fans, all stood up and shouted "black whistle"!
The faces of the three referees on the scene were all livid with spray. NBA president David Stern was sitting in the office like an old man. He was not afraid of being scolded. As long as there were ratings, he would be scolded.
If the Eastern Nets hadn't failed to live up to expectations, he would have wanted to extend the Eastern Conference to seven games.
But under the Bulls' iron-blooded defense, the Nets were timid even in their offensive actions. How could the referee call it?
Moreover, it seemed more of a gimmick for the Bulls to reach the Finals, so he simply let it go.
But the Western Conference is not good. The Western Conference must be stable. If the Western Conference ends the series early, then the NBA will fail this season.
Then the biggest controversial points in this game emerged. First, the Kings took 20 more free throws than the Lakers, including 17 more in the second half. Second, Kobe was elbowed by Bobby Jackson during the game. As a result, Kobe was given a foul and Kobe left the game with 6 fouls.
.
O'Neal had 22,194 points, Kobe had 22 points. Webb had 26 points, Bibby had 24 points, and Divac had 171,263 steals.
The Lakers lost the game 103-115.
Kobe, who was elbowed, complained to the media: "I don't understand why the referee called it like this. I was elbowed, but I was ejected from the court. It's like I was beaten, but the court ruled that
My community has worked for 100 hours. If the laws are not fair, how can we maintain justice?"
After losing this game, the first thought of the Lakers management was to trade for a qualified point guard next season. Since Harper retired, Fisher has been pushed into the starting lineup, although Fisher has
He has good offensive ability, has a long-range shot, and has good defense, but he is on an ordinary team. If he is placed on a championship-level team, his various abilities are too mediocre.
Even Kobe often had to wipe his butt to defend the opposing top point guard.
But where can you find such a cheap and affordable defender?
Among the defenders on the market who are a level better than Fisher, who are not asking for sky-high prices?
This gives Lakers general manager Kupchak a headache.
On the same day that the Lakers lost the G3 game, the domestic men's basketball coaching staff.
Wang Fei and Li Chunjiang were staring at Lu Yu's game video, and they were both shocked by Lu Yu's performance.
"Lu Chaoyang's son is much better than his father..." Li Chunjiang said helplessly: "I originally thought he was an excellent organizer. I have watched videos of his college games. Although he played as a shooting guard, he
His role is actually the organizational axis. I didn’t expect that he would have such explosive scoring power when he concentrated on attacking.”
Li Chunjiang's views were recognized by Wang Fei.
This time the head coach of the men's basketball team is Wang Fei, and Li Chunjiang serves as the assistant coach. The Hongyuan team's record has improved rapidly in the past two years, and Li Chunjiang's coaching ability has also been recognized by the Basketball Association.
"After Lu Yu finishes the NBA game, I estimate there will be two months of training time, and we will be able to see him then." Wang Fei turned off the video: "I think we should prepare some tactics for him in advance. If
It’s not a big problem, we can establish a style of play with him as the core.”
"You can also learn from the Bulls' coaching staff, understand Lu Yu's habits and playing style, and then make tactical adjustments." Li Chunjiang suggested.
His proposal was approved by Wang Fei.
Wang Fei nodded: "Yes, no one knows how to use Lu Yu better than the Bulls' coaching staff. The only problem now is to establish a play style with Lu Yu as the core and the three major insiders as the core that we originally designed
If there is a conflict between my playing styles, will the leadership of the Sports Bureau have any objections? Also, after all, there are still some veteran players in the team, how can we make them lose their mood?"
"Whoever thinks he can fight better than Lu Yu can join." Li Chunjiang didn't care.
In the Hongyuan team, his coaching philosophy is to fight whoever has the ability, and shut up those who have no ability.
But this is the national team. Almost every player who can enter the national team is a leader in the local team. Will he obey Lu Yu, a foreigner?
"Hey..." Wang Fei sighed, walked to the corridor, opened the small window and lit a cigarette for himself. How to balance the relationship between Lu Yu and the players on the team was his biggest concern.
Newcomers like Zhu Fangyu, Wang Shipeng, Du Feng, and Liu Wei are okay, but veteran players like Battelle, Gong Xiaobin, Liu Yudong, and Li Nan may not necessarily have any ideas in their hearts.
Fortunately, among the old team members, Hu Weidong and Lu Yu have a good relationship.
At that time, Hu Weidong can be asked to coordinate.
Especially Gong Xiaobin, he has an upright temperament, and Lu Yu is not someone to be trifled with, so don't make any mistakes when the time comes.
In any case, Lu Yu as the core of the team must not be shaken. We cannot let a player who can lead the team to the NBA Eastern Conference finals come to the national team and only be responsible for dribbling the ball through the half. That is simply a waste of resources.
.
If anyone makes trouble... let me go!
Wang Fei took a deep drag on the cigarette and was about to put it out.
"Coach, why are you hiding here?" A familiar voice suddenly came from behind.
Wang Fei turned around and saw Hu Weidong standing behind him, stamping out the cigarette butt, and said with a smile: "I'm upset. Let's smoke a cigarette to put out the fire. What's wrong? Are you looking for me?"
"It's okay, I just smelled the cigarette smoke and thought it was some brat trying to avoid smoking. I came here to teach these kids a lesson, but I didn't expect it was you. Haha, I don't dare to discipline you for smoking."
When Hu Weidong joined the national team, it happened to be when Wang Fei retired from the national team.
Logically speaking, Wang Fei is a player of the same era as Lu Chaoyang, so Hu Weidong still respects him very much.
"By the way, Weidong, I just have something I want to talk to you about." Wang Fei suddenly thought of what he was thinking about just now.
"You say."
Hu Weidong nodded.
The two then went to the office where Wang Fei was watching the video. Wang Fei turned on the game video, and it was the last game between the Bulls and the Nets.
In the picture, Lu Yu used the screen to sneak to a 45-degree angle, and the player defending him was thrown away by two meters. After receiving the ball, Lu Yu went directly to the inside. Under the defense of the three people, he was
Move the tie rod upward in the seam.
"Excellent movement, perfect attack."
Wang Fei pointed at the screen with the pen in his hand and gave a very high evaluation: "I just had a chat with Li Chunjiang and decided to use Lu Yu as the core of the team's offense and defense. What do you think?"
Hu Weidong was stunned for a moment. There is no problem in using Lu Yu as the core of offense and defense. Lu Yu's strength can reach this level in the NBA. He is more than enough to be the core of offense and defense of the Chinese men's basketball team. Therefore, Wang Fei should not ask him this question. Hu Weidong
He is also a human spirit, and you will understand the reason after a little thought.
"Coach, are you worried about the old guys on the team?"
"Ha ha……"
Wang Fei smiled awkwardly: "I can't hide anything from you."
"Leave these old guys to me. In fact, I think they all know very well that the replacement of the old with the new is inevitable. It is nothing more than handing it to Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming, or handing it to Lu Yu, an outsider, to Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming. They
Calling this inheritance and handing it over to Lu Yu makes them feel a little uncomfortable."
"That's what it means."
"Don't worry, I'll coordinate. If it doesn't work, just wait until Lu Yu comes back to convince them."
Hu Weidong's expression suddenly became solemn: "No matter what, the core of this Chinese men's basketball team must be Lu Yu. Only in this way can the Chinese men's basketball team have the opportunity to achieve breakthrough results in history."
They don't know that just because of their conversation, the Chinese men's basketball team has been glorious for twenty years.
On the other side, the G3 game between the Bulls and Nets also started.
