The Bulls finished playing the Eastern Conference Finals on the 28th, and the whole city had begun to celebrate, and the team had also begun to take a holiday - the Western Conference Kings and Lakers tied 2 to 2, and there were at least two games left, maybe three.
Play two games and the Bulls will have five days off. Play three games and the Bulls will have eight days off.
Eight days, the last time Lu Yu took such a long leave was because he was suspended for fighting.
After Lu Yu was on vacation, he finally had time to take a look at his system panel.
[Host: Lu Yu]
[Water breathing method: 85%]
[Thunder Breathing Technique: 81%]
[Fire Breathing Technique: 67%]
[Wind breathing method: 58%]
[Rock breathing method: 6%]
Since Yao Ming left, Lu Yu can only rely on the rough guys in the team to practice his Rock Breathing Technique, which makes Brad Miller nervous.
"Lu, you don't want to play center next season, do you?" Brad Miller asked jokingly.
However, Lu Yu's current barefoot height has reached 203cm. Although it is impossible to play center next season, he is more than enough to play small forward.
In fact, Lu Yu wanted to play power forward. He also saw that the Rock Breathing Technique developed too slowly just by training with his teammates. He only needed to stand in the inside position and compete with the top inside players in the league.
There is an opportunity for Rock Breathing to grow as quickly as possible.
It's a pity that his current height is still a little too short to play power forward.
Small forward is fine, but at the end of the season we have to discuss it with Cartwright and get his consent. If the head coach doesn't agree, it's useless for him to think about it.
His defense is now one of the best in the entire league on the back line, and those who are better than him are the outside players who have won the defensive first team in the past few years. With the Thunder Breathing Method, it has reached 81%.
, his explosive power and jumping have also improved a lot. Now Lu Yu can dunk easily and easily, and the forced dunk in college has never happened again.
And his strength is also among the top among outside players. It is estimated that if it goes up further, he will reach the level of inside players.
In the past few days, the team gave the players a three-day holiday. Lu Yu suddenly relaxed and didn't know what to do. The intense competition during this period left him no time to pay attention to other things.
After thinking about it, Lu Yu called home and invited Lu Chaoyang and Snoopy to watch the finals and travel to Los Angeles.
Then, he called Jessica again. He was quite embarrassed about Jessica. With just a few words, he asked Jessica to change her major for him. They had been studying economics and finance every day for several months.
No more meeting.
They were not allowed to come to Chicago, mainly because Chicago is too far from Spokane. Spokane is in the west and closer to Los Angeles, and the first two series will definitely be played in Los Angeles.
As for why it wasn't Sara and others...because Lu Yu knew that the Lakers would definitely win.
However, he didn't specify a location on the phone, he just asked them to watch the first two games of his finals.
As for Annie, I heard that her drama is about to be completed, and I guess she will be able to come back when she returns to the Bulls' home games.
Charlize Theron has been clinging to Lu Yu these past two days. Lu Yu only slept with her on the first day of vacation, and rejected her request to create a human the next day on the grounds of training.
Scarlett Johansson called to congratulate Lu Yu and asked to watch Lu Yu's finals. Lu Yu told her that all her tickets had been booked by Lu Chaoyang and that she would go to her after the finals.
After being separated for a long time, Lu Yu gradually started to avoid Scarlett Johansson. Who knows if she applauded with others in New York.
I heard that Bill Murray has been chasing her very enthusiastically recently. He is the actor who starred with Scarlett in "Lost in Translation".
But what he didn't know was that after Scarlett Johansson hung up the phone, she threw the phone on the bed glumly, looked at the moonlight outside the window, and muttered something to herself.
"Lu Yu, how can you know my feelings?"
Bill Murray was chasing her, but she had no feeling at all and didn't even want to talk to him.
The coaching staff gave the players a holiday, but Lu Yu did not take a break and practiced extra every day. He did not want to affect the state of the finals because he took too long a break. Every year, teams suffer from injuries caused by taking too long a break.
Lu Yu was not in good shape in the first game. He did not want to make any mistakes in the finals. When the finals were over, he would have plenty of time to rest.
The G5 game between the Western Conference Kings and the Lakers was also in full swing.
In Game 5 of the series, Bibby definitely defeated the Lakers, and the Kings won the Tianwang Mountain.
Maybe God likes this kind of plot, or evenly matched opponents are waiting for a decisive opportunity. It is similar to the fourth game, but the difference is that the Lakers lead in this game. At the last moment, the Lakers led 91:90, and the Kings had
Chance to kill.
At this time, Bibby sent an inbound ball to Weber. Weber made a pick-and-roll and passed the ball to Bibby. Bibby made a jump shot to complete the victory. The Lakers still had a chance to attack. Kobe made the final attack and was defended by Jackson.
, failed to score, and the Lakers lost.
There are several controversial points in this game. One is that when Webber passed the ball back to Bibby in the pick-and-roll just mentioned, he obviously pushed Fisher. The ball was technically a foul, but the referee did not call it.
Lu Yu felt that this kind of ball was a foul, but it is understandable that the referee did not call it. I have seen it in some games. At the last moment, the referee often will not call such a foul and let the players solve it.
The second one is that Jackson defended Kobe Bryant at the end. There was also a foul on this ball. This ball was quite controversial. How to put it, this ball was suspected of being a foul. Lu Yu felt that it could be called or not. It was possible to call it or not.
It's 51% and 49%, depending on the referee's mood.
The third thing is that O'Neal was in foul trouble and committed 6 fouls before the end of the fourth quarter. The more controversial point is that the Sharks only got 1 free throw in this game and had three consecutive offensive fouls.
In this game, Shark 287, Kobe 305; King Bibby scored 23 points, Webb 29133. The Kings won Tianwangshan 3:2.
Historically, the team that has won G5 Tianwangshan has a probability of winning the series as high as 70%. Many people thought that the Kings were safe this time.
Even Cartwright has targeted the Kings in the Finals.
I started watching Kings game videos day and night, doing tactical analysis, thinking about matchups, when to make tactical adjustments, and when to call for substitutions and timeouts.
But in Game 6 of the series, the Lakers narrowly defeated the Kings and evened the score.
Tie-break!
Cartwright angrily put the Kings video aside and began to focus on the next game.
G6 is the most controversial game in this series between the Lakers and Kings. The Lakers, who have not lost a series for a long time, are on the edge of being eliminated. This also stimulates the fighting spirit of the Sharks. As soon as the game starts, they frantically ask for the ball and hit the inside.
Seeing Shark's condition, the entire Lakers team gained confidence.
The Lakers won 106:102. The Sharks scored 41 points and 17 rebounds, and beat two players of the opponent and left the game with 6 fouls. Webb also got 5 fouls. The Lakers got 40 free throws, including 27 in the fourth quarter, and the Kings had 25.
times, 9 times in the fourth quarter.
Judging from the number of free throws, it is indeed unreasonable and suspected of being a shady incident.
Looking at the Lakers' loss of 20 free throws in the third game and the Sharks' 1 free throw in the fifth game, Lu Yu agreed that it was compensation for the referee's overcorrection, and it was also somewhat consistent with the above-mentioned "they want to see the seventh game." In g3 and g5
, gave the Kings more whistles. In the fourth quarter, the Sharks got 10 free throws and Kobe took 7.
There are two controversial points in this game. One is the Lakers' 27 free throws in the last quarter, and the other is that Kobe's elbow hit on Bibby was not called a foul.
History may be expressed or obscured.
The tiebreaker has really come. At this moment, Cheng Ze has entered the finals and won the championship. Everyone knows that the championship belongs to the Lakers and Kings.
As for the Bulls, no one took them seriously.
Although the Bulls have never lost a game in the playoffs, everyone knows that the Bulls have no chance of winning whether they are against the Lakers or the Kings.
In terms of lineup, players, tactics, and coaching, the Bulls are not on the same level as these two teams in every dimension.
In the East, the Bulls may be the undisputed king.
But compared with the Western Conference teams, not to mention the Lakers and Kings, even the already eliminated Spurs and Mavericks can defeat the Bulls in the playoffs.
Kings head coach Adelman said helplessly after losing the game: "Our team tried their best, but still failed to win; the Sharks committed 4 fouls, and our big men committed 20 in total... This game
The game is quite different from the past few games.”
Weber hinted at the alliance's conspiracy: "I heard that the champion is destined to be the champion."
The Western Conference Finals reached Game 7, and the Bulls also had seven days off.
Series G7, Western Conference Finals tiebreaker, if you win, you will win the championship!
In the past 20 years, no team has ever succeeded in a tiebreaker on the road. Can the Lakers win a tiebreaker at the Kings' home court?
As the saying goes, when you meet your opponent in chess, it is bound to be a bloody battle until the last minute. The two teams in this game are evenly matched, and it is difficult to tell them apart. Similar to the previous plot, the game has reached the decisive moment again.
O'Neal missed the basket in the last 6 seconds, grabbed the rebound and tipped the ball in but still failed to score. The game was tied at 100 and the game entered overtime.
Although Weber opened the scoring with a mid-range shot in overtime, Bibby made a mid-range shot, and the Kings led 104:100, O'Neal began to go crazy, hitting the inside wildly, hitting 2 free throws and 2 blocks, as well as Fisher's 2 free throws, the Lakers
108:106 lead.
At the critical moment, Jackson Jackson used unexpected moves to double-team Bibby continuously. Neither Christie nor Weber made a three-pointer. The masters fought each other and the winner was determined by one move. The situation for the Kings was over. 106 was also the Kings' final total score.
The Kings made 3 of 12 shots in overtime. In the end, the Lakers advanced to the Finals over the bones of the Kings with a score of 112:106.
In this game, the Sharks had 35,134 blocks, Kobe had 301,072 steals, Fox had 13,147; Horry had 16,125; King Webber had 29,811, and Bibby had 2,954.
Lu Yu felt that Weber was not tough enough at critical moments and his finishing ability was not as good as Bibby at this time. Bibby is the engine of the king. Once the engine suddenly stalls, it will be difficult for this team to operate.
In this series, Kobe averaged 25.75.44.7 and the Sharks averaged 30.313.6.
Lu Yu knew that the Kings, who were as gorgeous as summer flowers, had come to an end after this battle.
There have been many classic combinations in the history of the NBA, such as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Joe Shenpi, and the OK combination, but it is difficult to see another team that can combine gorgeousness and practicality so seamlessly like the Kings at this time.
Maybe in the 17-18 season, Universe Yong also has a gorgeous appearance, but he has never been able to give too many people a good reputation.
In the regular season this season, the Kings won 36 games at home and 25 away games, winning a total of 61 games, all setting records in team history. In terms of statistics, they ranked first in the league in defensive rebounds, second in points, second in rebounds, and second in steals.
3rd in field goal percentage, 4th in assists, what the Kings did was extraordinary and unparalleled.
There is always a kind of memory that makes people excited but full of tears. The Kings in the 2001-2002 season were probably like this. In the minds of many fans, they were not the championship, but the real kings.
Having said that, the defending champion Lakers are still unmatched. They have the strength to defeat the Kings. The so-called triangle tactic is actually an ok combination. It is a conspiracy on the surface, but it is a point that the Kings cannot solve.
And this point that even the king cannot solve, can the Bulls solve it?
Lu Yu didn't know, but the opportunity was in front of him, so he could only... fight for it!
