A star's historical status is closely related to his amazing performance in the playoffs. Of course, this is a rhetoric prepared for many stars who have never played in the finals.
When it comes to historical status, if you haven't reached the finals, don't talk about historical status.
The finals are the place that can truly leave a mark in NBA history. Even if Iverson did not win the championship, he scored 51 points in the finals, so his historical status is definitely higher than that of many stars who have never entered the finals.
But today, a rookie appeared in the finals who scored 5,010 points.
Kobe was very frustrated. Lu Yu scored 47 points under his defense in the last game. Fortunately, the Lakers won the last game and no one discussed his defensive failure. But this time the Lakers lost miserably, and in
Under his defense, Lu Yu scored another 50 points, which made him feel embarrassed.
What is unbelievable is that Kobe and O'Neal were both first-team players today, but they were defeated by Lu Yu, a second-team player.
Is Kobe's defense bad?
Of course that's good, otherwise he wouldn't have been selected to the All-Defensive Team 12 times in his career, including 9 times in the first team and 3 times in the second team, but he couldn't guard Lu Yu.
The two are similar in height, both have strong offensive abilities, and both of them are the type to never give up until the last moment on the court, otherwise the two would not become good friends.
On the surface, the two people are very similar, but in fact Lu Yu is very inferior to Kobe. Lu Yu is better at passing the ball than Kobe.
It can be seen from the game situation that when Kobe defends Lu Yu alone, he often needs to be flanked by O'Neal or other players, while Lu Yu basically defends Kobe one-on-one.
It doesn't matter if he is beaten by Kobe or beaten by Kobe.
But Kobe can't. If Kobe is passed, Lu Yu's pass will tear apart the Lakers' entire defense.
At the end of the game, the players from both sides returned to the locker room. O'Neal was depressed while taking a shower. He was cut so badly in this game. If the next game is like this, even if he wins the championship, his statistics will be much worse than Kobe's.
What's more, if you don't perform well, you may continue to lose.
Kobe didn't say anything either. He believed that he would definitely win the next game, at least he wouldn't be as aggrieved as he was losing now.
The entire Lakers locker room was filled with a depressing atmosphere.
At the post-match press conference, Lu Yu became the focus of the audience. The reporters asked him to talk about his feelings after winning.
Lu Yu said calmly: "I am very happy to win the game. I was in good condition today, so I got good data. However, I still have to thank the coach and teammates for winning the game, especially the players in the team who were killed for cutting sharks."
Several inside players were sent off."
There was a lot of laughter at the press conference.
It is estimated that after today, the Bulls' shark-killing tactics will be heard throughout the league.
I have never seen this kind of play where the chopper was sent off three inside players in the end.
The reporter asked: "Some people say that you are already the number one shooting guard in the league, the successor of Michael Jordan, and will even lead the Bulls to create a new dynasty. Do you think you can do it?"
Lu Yu thought for a while and smiled: "The big score is 2:1 now. My goal is to win the next game. Isn't it a little early to discuss the dynasty now?"
We still don’t know if the Bulls can win this round of the finals. It’s not the beginning of the season. Even if you brag and get slapped in the face, a season has passed. Who still remembers what bragging you did back then.
Now I'm blowing here, and I'm getting slapped in the face here.
Of course, it is also possible to succeed in pretending.
But Lu Yu didn't want to take this risk. He was very clear about the strength of the Bulls. Looking at the relaxed look on the Zen master's face when he finally surrendered today, it was obvious that he was already sure about the next game.
The reporter asked: "You got 5010 data today and almost broke the finals record. Do you think you will become as great a player as West?"
Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, and didn't react until Cartwright reminded him.
He always thought he scored 50 points and ranked fifth in the finals scoring list. In fact, he also broke another record. The only player in NBA history to score at least 50 points and 10 assists in the finals is LOGO MAN
west.
In Game 1 of the Finals between the Lakers and Celtics, he carried the entire game by himself, making 21 of 41 shots from the field and scoring 53 points, 10 assists and 3 rebounds.
Lu Yu is only three points less than him.
Cartwright said apologetically: "I replaced you, do you blame me?"
Lu Yu smiled and said: "Of course not. I care more about winning or losing the game rather than my own data."
Lu Yu knew that at that time, the Lakers had surrendered and raised the white flag. At this time, Cartwright could put Lu Yu on the court and continue to rack up points. However, he was worried that there would be players in the Lakers causing trouble, because there must be players who did not want it.
It is a shame for the Lakers that the Bulls' star player has put historical data on their heads.
If Lu Yu was injured because of this historical data, the gain would outweigh the loss.
To be on the safe side, Cartwright chose to replace Lu Yu.
Firstly, it shows more respect for the opponent, and secondly, it also protects Lu Yu.
If the Lakers did not raise the white flag, it would definitely be another situation. They broke the historical record in the fight, and even their opponents had no complaints.
The reporter asked: "How do you evaluate your opponent Kobe?"
"I said before the start of the finals that I will not judge Kobe. We are good friends, but on the court, we are opponents. Whether his performance is good or bad has nothing to do with me. My goal is to win the game." Lu
Yu smiled.
Usually at the end of the game, each other will choose to praise their opponent, saying that the opponent was not very lucky today, but if it were normal times, he would be very powerful.
But today Lu Yu took 5010 and beat Kobe very ugly. For him to say such words hypocritically at this time is tantamount to ridicule in disguise.
Another reporter mentioned the data obtained by Lu Yu and asked him: "Lu, are you confident that you will surpass these senior basketball players in the future?"
Lu Yu smiled and said: "The big score now is 2 to 1. Compared with the historical status, I value whether I can win the next game more."
Cartwright was very satisfied with Lu Yu's answer.
This question is actually a trap. If Lu Yu doesn't answer well, he will be disrespectful to his seniors. Lu Yu directly said that he doesn't care about these things now, he only cares about the current game, avoiding the trap dug by reporters.
In his previous life, Lu Yu had seen many young players being dug up and criticized miserably because of this problem.
For example, Morant of the Grizzlies. Morant said that he very much hopes to be in the same era as Jordan. Because he has a strong one-on-one ability, he can still beat his opponents even when facing Jordan. In addition, even if he is
Playing rugby across borders can defeat the best rugby players in the world.
In fact, a reporter asked him at the time, if he were in the same era as Jordan, would he believe he had the ability to challenge Jordan alone?
He replied: "Of course."
As a result, the media exaggerated the topic that he wanted to destroy Jordan.
Cartwright feels that Lu Yu, a rookie, is simply too perfect. Of course, it may also be due to the influence of Chinese culture. He seems to have heard that China has a saying of moderation.
If he were a black player, he would probably fall into the trap.
Of course, this does not mean that black players are not smart or have football intelligence. It is just that the influence of environment and culture has a subtle influence on a person from childhood to adulthood.
At the same time, Wang Fei, the men's basketball head coach at the Chinese Men's Basketball Training Center, was immersed in shock after watching the game.
He has always known that Lu Yu is excellent and the best player in China. He has been following Lu Yu since Lu Yu was in the NCAA, but he did not expect that one year of NBA career would allow Lu Yu to grow to such a height.
This is no longer what China's best players can describe.
Lu Yu should be one of the best players in the world now.
A player like this is fine for playing in the World Championships, but isn't it a bit overkill for him to play in the Asian Games?
No wonder Lu Yu asked for leave and didn't play in last year's Asian Championships.
Playing in the Asian Championships is not as intense as his usual team training, right?
In Chicago, Charlize Theron and her mother Gerda Theron watched the game together. After returning home, Gerda Theron laughed from ear to ear for a long time.
"Charlize, I have decided to return to France this summer. You can live here by yourself. If it is inconvenient for Lu Yu to live alone, you can ask him to move here, or you can move there."
"Mom, why can't I understand what you are saying?" Charlize said.
Gerda Theron rolled her eyes at her: "Do you really think I don't know anything? Do you often spend the night at Lu Yu's house when I am not at home? Don't tell me that you are just a pure friendship. I don't believe you don't.
Roll over the sheets."
Charlize blushed slightly: "But, he has a girlfriend."
"What are you afraid of when you have a girlfriend? Aren't you his girlfriend? As long as you stay by his side, you will be his girlfriend. Don't let other women give up on this idea."
Geda thinks it is normal for a man to have several girlfriends before getting married. As long as Charlize stays by Lu Yu's side, it is best to have Lu Yu's children first, so that after the two get married, Lu Yu will be honest.
The news said that Scarlett Johansson has openly expressed her love for Lu Yu. She is an actress that Hollywood plans to promote. What advantages does Charlize have over her?
No one is young.
My figure is not as good as anyone else's.
Isn't it because he occupies a terrace near the water? Otherwise, how blind would Lu Yu be to get into Charlize's bed?
If Gerda expresses these thoughts, Charlize will definitely feel that she is not her biological child, but she and Gerda have the same idea, that is, they want a child for herself and Lu Yu.
She doesn't want to fight for any status, she just wants a hope of her own.
On June 11, Lu Yu made headlines in major sports media, and online fans were also discussing him. A star is rising.
No one is criticizing Kobe. After all, Kobe is only the second-in-command, and there is no comparison with team bosses like Lu Yu.
This is a bit like shrimp and pig heart.
On June 12, the fourth battle between the two sides started.
Cartwright continued the tactics from the previous game this time. It wasn't that he didn't want to make changes, it was just that he didn't know what else he could adjust.
Make bricks without straw.
He only has so many cards in his hand, and even a bunch of straights can't produce the effect of king bomb.
But for the Lakers, Jackson made a lot of adjustments. From the beginning, they continued to play according to the rhythm of the second half of the previous game. They did not shrink their defense and allowed Lu Yu and Miller to shoot. If Lu Yu can continue to explode
I will accept it even if I lose.
Anyway, just don't let others open it.
The Bulls will never be allowed to have a situation where the whole team blossomed more than they did in the last game.
On the offensive end, Kobe took fewer shots and created opportunities for O'Neal to pass the ball. The two sides reached a stalemate at the beginning. After Kobe broke through, he passed the ball to O'Neal who was cutting in the air, so that the Bulls had no time to foul.
On the other side, Lu Yu kept hitting the basket and scoring, falling to the ground again and again.
Other fans may not be able to understand the deep distress felt by Chicago fans every time Lu Yu falls. They even want Lu Yu to stop playing. If he loses, he loses. The worst he can do is come back next year.
It wasn't that Lu Yu had to fight like this, but the Zen master forced Lu Yu to fight like this.
Zen Master would not give him a chance to shoot three-pointers, leaving Lu Yu with a mid-range shot. If Lu Yu continued to shoot from mid-range, he would only lose the game like the first and second games.
He must leave the mid-range position to Miller, and he can only choose to attack the basket.
The score between the two sides was deadlocked until the fourth quarter, and the game was tied for the ninth time. At this time, the Bulls collapsed. The reason was very simple. There was no one inside. In order to protect Miller, the team's power forwards were punished, and they could only let Ah
Test moved to the power forward position.
And Lu Yu moved to small forward.
It was still Kobe who defended him.
The consequence of having no one was that the team began to collapse from the inside, followed closely by Kobe's explosion on the outside. When the Bulls shrunk, Kobe's continuous shooting from the outside made the Bulls, who had persisted for the whole game, completely graduate.
In the end, the Lakers won the game 113-97, with a big score of 3-1.
O'Neal played 39 minutes, making 15 of 25 shots, 10 of 16 free throws, and scored 40 points, 16 rebounds and 5 assists.
His free throws today made the Bulls desperate.
Kobe shot 7 of 13, 2 of 5 three-pointers, 7 of 8 free throws, and scored 23 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists.
Lu Yu's performance was average. Of course, this is generally compared to G2 and G3. In this game, he scored 29 points and 7 assists, but made 4 turnovers.
After the game, Lu Yu and Kobe hugged each other, but neither of them spoke.
They know that the game is not over yet.
On June 14, the two sides started the fifth battle.
If the two sides tied at 2-2, this game would be the battle of Tianwang Mountain, but now with the score of 3-1, many people know that the Bulls have no way to recover.
No team in history has ever won the championship with a big score of 3-1.
The most important thing is that the Bulls have no other tricks to beat the current Lakers. They have played all the cards in their hands.
Many basketball experts have also analyzed it.
If the Bulls had a strong inside line, they might have a chance to win. The Bulls' inside defense is too weak, and no one can withstand O'Neal.
Their offensive firepower from the outside is not bad, Richardson has three-pointers, and Artest has defense.
Lu Yu is versatile both offensively and defensively.
The most difficult thing is the interior. The interior is either good at offense, like Miller and Fizer, or good at defense, like Chandler and Oakley.
The key is that the defense can't guard O'Neal, and the offense can't beat O'Neal.
In Game 5, no surprise, the Bulls lost.
The game was uneventful, just like an ordinary regular season game.
After watching this game, NBA Commissioner David Stern secretly made up his mind to promote illegal hand calls next season. Lu Yu was pulled by his opponent outside the three-point line and was unable to attack at all.
Zen Master took advantage of this and restricted Lu Yu from outside the three-point line.
If Lu Yu could fire from outside the three-point line, the outcome of this game might be different. At least the two teams could give it a try.
This year's Bulls will not be like last year's 76ers, winning only one game.
Lu Yu also looks like a tragic hero like Iverson last year.
The only difference is that this year's rule change was originally intended to restrict O'Neal's zone defense rules, but it made Iverson fall from the altar. I don't know if next year's rule change will change the league pattern.
After the game, Lu Yu and Kobe hugged again.
This time the two people still didn't speak.
The two of them took completely different paths, but they are the same type of people.
They are all full of desire to win!
It's just that Kobe was lucky enough to hug O'Neal, while Lu Yu supported a team by himself.
To be honest, Kobe envied Lu Yu.
He would rather not win the championship, but also want to be the boss of the team.
Lu Yuze was very envious of Kobe...that was the championship!
If you win the championship in your rookie season, you can just sit back and relax, okay?
A player who wins a championship in his rookie season has a completely different mentality from a veteran who has been in the league for N seasons and gone through all kinds of hardships to win the championship.
It's a pity that this year's Bulls still have too few helpers.
I don’t know if the management will make a deal during this offseason. No matter what, next year and the year after will be my best chance to win the championship!
Actually being able to reach the finals this year was a bit of a surprise to Lu Yu.
He didn't expect the Nets to be so good.
But it was precisely because of the Nets' talent that Lu Yu misjudged the strength of the Lakers. He did not expect that the Lakers would be so strong!
In fact, what Lu Yu encountered was the pinnacle of the Zijin Dynasty.
The FMVP was awarded to O'Neal. There is no doubt that O'Neal is the key figure in this series. Without O'Neal, the Lakers would not have won.
O'Neal gave a brief acceptance speech, stood in the center and raised the championship trophy and FMVP trophy.
