Chapter 264 There is nothing wrong with having a steady hand!
After winning against Yugoslavia, Lu Yu was surrounded by reporters.
"First of all, congratulations on your 37 points, 12 assists, 9 rebounds and 5 steals, and winning the game. How do you evaluate today's opponent?"
"The Yugoslavia team is very strong. I have played against Peja and Divac in the NBA. They are really good at playing basketball. It's just that we had better luck today, that's all."
The reporter asked: "Do you think the strength of Chinese basketball is already among the world's top teams?"
"certainly."
Lu Yu thought for a while: "We have four NBA-level players, and there will be a fifth and sixth player in the future. As more and more NBA players appear, the strength of Chinese basketball will become stronger and stronger."
When Lu Yu said these words, for some reason, Lu Yu suddenly felt worried in his heart.
Because in fact he knows that this is the pinnacle of the last generation of Chinese basketball.
He doesn’t know how much his butterfly wings will change the development trajectory of Chinese basketball. All he can do is play every game in his career. As for whether it will affect more people, that can only be seen.
It's time to eat.
What else to do?
He just has a breathing method plug-in to enhance his physical fitness, and it's not the kind of second-level system that can destroy the world.
However, Lu Yu discovered the benefits of his system, especially the improvement of physical toughness made by the water breathing method, which made him more resistant to kicking. Not only did he play more than 70 games in his rookie season, but if he was not suspended, he felt that he could play
Complete 82 regular season games.
Played so many games in the playoffs.
It can be said that this kind of physical toughness can save you from many unnecessary injuries.
Lu Yu's style of play is also one that is not prone to injury. He doesn't even use the European step, and there are very few continuous changes in direction while moving. The main focus is on shooting and passing after the pick-and-roll. The biggest load on his knees is when he is preparing to take off.
The accumulation of time.
So his career could be very long.
Maybe twenty years later, he hasn't retired yet?
Coupled with the support of the system, his physical fitness can still be maintained as he was when he was young. In that case, Chinese basketball can maintain its status as a strong team in the world for many, many years.
The reporter asked: "Are you confident that you can win the final championship?"
Lu Yu smiled: "Actually, maybe you don't know that our imaginary opponent was the United States team at the beginning, which means that from the beginning, our goal was to win the championship. Unfortunately, the United States men's basketball team failed to win and ended up dead on the way.
"
The U.S. men's basketball team has been humiliated at home in this world championship.
The battle for 5th-8th place was lost to Spain again, and in the end only sixth place was achieved.
Last time, no one came because of the lockout, so if you lose, you lose. This time, most of them are NBA players. Although they are all second-tier players, the fans don't care about that.
The reporter asked: "What do you think of your opponent in the final, Argentina?"
Argentina defeated the German team 86-80. Ginobili, like Lu Yu, scored 37 points. Nowitzki faced media interviews and kept praising Ginobili's high level until he understood
It wasn't until Ginobili joined the Spurs next season that he showed a speechless expression.
The Spurs are the Mavericks' most direct competitor in the Western Conference.
With such a high-level athlete joining the Spurs, coupled with Duncan and the new little sports car, life in the West will not be easy in the future.
Lu Yu thought for a moment, and then said seriously: "The Argentina team... is very strong, and their style of play passes the ball more smoothly, but why did I hear that their leading player Ginobili is injured?"
Ginobili injured?
Yes, but the news has not been confirmed yet, and no one knows whether Ginobili will play in tomorrow's game.
In the game against Germany, Ginobili sprained his right ankle.
Ginobili has often suffered from injuries throughout his career. He is too thin. In the highly competitive NBA, whether it is physical strength or physical endurance, if he is just a little better, his achievements will definitely be better than Lu Yu's previous life.
It's much higher in my memory.
Both ankles, back spasms, ribs, fingers, nose bridge...
These injuries are nothing. The worst thing is that one of Ginobili's eggs was knocked out.
It stands to reason that being injured may be a somewhat difficult topic to talk about, but Ginobili often laughs at himself about it.
Because of this injury, Ginobili was forced to take a truce for a while. After returning, Manu even wore an "egg protector". He even joked that opponents had better protect their knees.
In an interview with the media, Ginobili was asked if he had ever heard of a popular saying in the United States at that time: "I will give you the left...".
Manu responded quickly and said directly: "I gave the one on the right to the Spurs. I really dedicated the one on the right to the Spurs. I can really say that, it is true."
Lu Yu just wanted to say: "What a miserable man..."
"Without Ginobili, the strength of the Argentine team will definitely be greatly reduced, but they still have Scola and other outstanding players. We still can't slack off, even though we have beaten them before."
Lu Yu's last words made everyone suddenly realize that the Chinese men's basketball team had even won against Argentina, let alone the Argentina team that had lost Ginobili?
After the interview, the news that the Chinese men's basketball team was going to win the championship suddenly spread.
In the early morning of September 9, Lu Chaoyang and Jessica arrived in Indiana together to support Lu Yu on-site to win the championship.
Snoopy arrived in Indiana one day in advance and was responsible for arranging their hotel and itinerary.
After Lu Yu arranged for them, he went to the competition arena with the team. The championship and runner-up competitions were held at the Conseco Arena, the home arena of the Pacers. The first place was the third or fourth place game.
The German team faced the powerful Yugoslavia team and had no power to fight back.
If it weren't for the sudden banana incident in the last game, the Chinese men's basketball team would have probably lost to Yugoslavia. Partly by luck and partly by strength, the Chinese men's basketball team finally won the game.
Obviously, the German team does not have this luck.
The regrouped Yugoslavia lost the decadence of the previous game. They pressed the German team to the ground and rubbed it to vent their hatred of the previous defeat.
Nowitzki said: "The one who beat you is the Chinese men's basketball team. What kind of skills do you have to bully me?"
In the end, Yugoslavia defeated the German team 117 to 94. Peja scored a game-high 25 points. Nowitzki scored only 17 points under Divac's defense.
Yugoslavia finished third in the World Championships.
They were not satisfied. They originally thought they would be number one in the world, especially when the American team lost early.
Facing the media interview, Stojakovic said regretfully: "In fact, we can achieve better results, but it is a pity that we failed in the last game. Maybe because of that game, the Chinese team can steal a world championship.
."
This word "steal" caused dissatisfaction among domestic fans.
What is stealing?
If you lose, you lose. How dare you accuse us of stealing the world championship?
On major domestic websites and forums, Peja was scolded mercilessly. Countless fans even said that I will never watch Kings games in the future. I hope Lu Yu will hit Peja every time he sees him in the future. He will beat his mother.
Can't recognize it.
On the contrary, Divac is much more sophisticated.
"The Chinese men's basketball team is very strong. If they win the next game and win the world championship, I think they deserve it."
This is comforting to hear.
And this is said very well. Yugoslavia's defeat has become a settled matter. If it is defeated by the world champion, it will look better on itself. If Argentina wins, then the fans will definitely say that it is not certain whether Yugoslavia can beat Argentina. After all,
Yugoslavia even lost to the Chinese team.
An hour later, the championship battle between the Chinese Men’s Basketball Team and the Argentine Men’s Basketball Team for this World Championship officially started.
Jessica looked at Lu Yu nervously as he walked onto the court. She found that Lu Yu seemed to have grown taller and stronger after not seeing him for a long time, and he also seemed a bit...much stranger.
She once hoped that the boy in front of her could make it to the NBA, but now she hopes that he would stop because she really can't catch up.
Lu Chaoyang is very satisfied with his son's recent performance.
It’s good to bring glory to the country!
His dream was to help the Chinese men's basketball team achieve good results. Now that his son has done what he failed to do, how can he not be happy?
Wang Fei didn't say any words of encouragement before the game started. He didn't want to put too much pressure on the players.
In fact, Wang Fei also inspired the players. The suit he is wearing today is the black suit he wore when he first became the head coach of the Bayi Team in 1994.
When Liu Yudong saw this suit, he immediately understood and his heart surged.
He told the team members, and they all secretly clenched their fists.
When the players came out, Lu Yu was the last one to walk out of the Chinese team and received warm applause. In this year's World Championships, Lu Yu averaged 29.8 points, 10.3 assists, 6.2 rebounds and 3.7 steals per game. He is the well-deserved core of the Chinese men's basketball team.
players.
When the Argentina team came out, Ginobili was still the last one to appear, but Ginobili entered the arena with the support of Scola.
He hopes to use this method to inspire his teammates to win the game.
Zhang Lili introduced: "Friends from the audience, the anticipated showdown is about to begin. Can Lu Yu lead the Chinese men's basketball team to win the championship of this world championship and achieve a breakthrough in the Chinese men's basketball team's zero first place?"
Xu Jicheng said: "Scola's matchup against several star power forwards in China is also a highlight. Scola is the most outstanding player in the Argentine team besides Ginobili. We in China are also full of talents at the power forward position.
For example, Wang Zhizhi, Liu Yudong, Gong Xiaobin and Yi Jianlian who played at Gonzaga are very interesting."
This statement exalts Scola. Not to mention that Wang Zhizhi is already an NBA-level player. Scola is only a rookie at the end of the second round this year. Even Liu Yudong and Gong Xiaobin are not necessarily much worse than the young Scola.
Not to mention Yi Jianlian, who went through a year of training at Gonzaga last year.
During the warm-up, Lu Yu hit consecutive three-pointers. The warm-up shots let him know that he felt good today, and he knew it as soon as he took the shot.
After a while to get a feel for it, both teams started to stand on the field.
Major TV stations analyze the lineup, and most people believe that the Chinese men's basketball team has an advantage. The 4th position may be evenly matched, but in the two positions of shooting guard and center, there is no comparison between the Argentina team and the Chinese team.
Yao Ming won the jump ball and the game began.
Liu Wei dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, Lu Yu first reached the right corner, and then ran at full speed to the top line. Yao Ming pulled up to help him block the defensive player. This kind of weak-side no-ball screen combination must be played several times in every Chinese men's basketball team, and it has been tried and tested.
, as long as the opponent's inside defense is not resolute enough, Lu Yu will get a chance to take action.
Argentina's center hesitated. He didn't dare to switch defense. If he switched to guard Lu Yu, Yao Ming would be a giant in the paint. No one in their team could guard Yao Ming.
Of course, it would be difficult to guard him without changing, but his advantage is that he is stronger and can withstand Yao Ming, who is still a little thin.
But although the skinny Yao Ming is a little lacking in strength, at this time he can not only play hard inside, but also shoot from the high post, and it is not impossible to even dribble to the basket in three steps.
Don't believe it, Yao Ming was such a monster in the eyes of others before he gained weight.
As soon as the Argentine center hesitated, the change of defense was slow. Lu Yu caught the ball from the right and shot a three-point jumper. The defensive player did not bypass it, and the basketball drew a perfect arc and hit the net hollowly.
3 to 0
When returning to defense, Lu Yu and Yao Ming clapped their hands.
Zhang Lili said with a smile: "After the opening, the Yu-Yao combination completed a very beautiful weak-side cover. Yao Ming came out to cover and Lu Yu moved. It was difficult for the opponent to guard."
If other Chinese players are moving, the tactics can sometimes work, but the shooting percentage will be much worse. Lu Yu is so accurate. You must know that he has made hundreds of three-pointers in a row when no one is guarding him.
It's a very easy thing.
Xu Jicheng smiled and said: "It seems that the Argentine team can't guard us. Now it depends on their offense. If they can't attack, then it won't be a big problem for us to win this game."
The Argentinian player broke through the middle. The first change of direction was blocked by Lu Yu. The second time it was the same change of direction, but unfortunately Lu Yu blocked him again.
Without Ginobili, it would be really difficult for Argentina's defenders to break through Lu Yu's iron-clad defense.
It's not a level confrontation at all.
The player had no choice but to throw the ball to Scola. Scola caught the ball and turned around and around in the paint. After turning, he found that... he was surrounded?
Just when he didn't know what to do, Lu Yu slammed his hand towards the basketball and grabbed the ball directly.
Wang Fei stood with a smile on his face.
He remembered last night when Lu Yu came to him: "Coach, I think we can directly flank Scola when he is ready to play hard."
Wang Fei didn't take it seriously at first. After all, a small Scola was not worthy of such a defense by the Chinese men's basketball team.
And the players who are facing Scola, such as Wang Zhizhi, Liu Yudong, Gong Xiaobin and Yi Jianlian, are also fully capable of guarding Scola alone.
Is it necessary to risk missing other players for Scola?
However, he still chose to follow Lu Yu's advice. After all, during this period of time, Lu Yu generally did not make suggestions. Once the suggestions were made, they were often very effective.
Obviously, I heard it right again this time.
Lu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, because he knew that in his previous life, the Argentina team, which lacked Ginobili in the finals, almost overturned Yugoslavia thanks to Scola's performance.
No matter what, there’s nothing wrong with playing it safe!
