Chapter 272 The mission of sniping the Bulls for winning streak
Yao Ming and Arenas waited for a long time, but did not wait for Lu Yu to come back.
After asking the waiter, I found out that Lu Yu had left long ago.
Arenas cursed and left.
Early the next morning, Lu Yu returned home with his exhausted body, ignored Annie, and went directly to his room to sleep.
A woman like Monica Bellucci, who was frustrated in love, retaliated against her husband more harshly than anyone else. Lu Yu almost couldn't resist.
Men sometimes have to take care of their lower body.
Always remember a saying, there is no spoiled land, only exhausted cows.
On November 23, the Bulls faced the Jazz at home, with a score of 119 to 73. The two Jazz veterans Xuan Ming and Xuan Ming wanted to retire on the spot. Karl Malone's iron elbow almost caused a conflict. When he saw Lu Yu standing with Boozer holding his fist,
Ma Long also felt a little timid when he was around.
The entire league knows that Lu Yu fights professionally.
At the end of the month, the Bulls defeated the Celtics again 122-98. Pierce really had no good way to defend Lu Yu.
Lu Yu kept attacking him, and the continuous changes of direction overwhelmed Pierce. He reacted a little slower, and Lu Yu rushed in directly. When he caught up, Lu Yu would choose to score the ball.
Pierce spent too much energy on the defensive end, and his teammates couldn't guard against Hamilton and Richardson's outside shooting. The only shots the Celtics could take were Pierce and Walker.
It's a pity that both men's defense is not very good.
The Bulls started with a 15-game winning streak. Lu Yu was elected the Eastern Conference Player of the Month with his comprehensive data of 21 points, 7.3 rebounds, 6.9 assists and 3.1 steals per game.
In fact, his scoring data and assist data have declined compared to last season. Only rebounds and steals data have increased a lot. However, the game is not just about data, but about the effect on the team. Lu Yu is now at the small forward position.
He can play both inside and outside, and every time he beats his opponent, he is in a state of ecstasy. The most important thing is that his hit rate is ridiculously high, and he has easily joined the 180 club.
As for the low scoring and assist data, it is entirely due to the reduction in playing time.
Lu Yu's average playing time per game this season is five minutes less than last season. Firstly, it is because the team often clocks out in three quarters. Secondly, Cartwright is trying to protect Lu Yu and prevent Lu Yu from getting injured.
But there are still many fans who ridicule Lu Yu's data as the best player, which is not worthy of the name.
Mainly because he averages too few points per game.
On the first day of December, the Bulls faced the Dallas Mavericks at home. Lu Yu scored 41 points and 9 assists in three quarters, slapping those trolls in the face.
You must know that although Lagaber, who is defending Lu Yu this time, has average scoring ability, he has always been known for his fierce defense.
At this time, Raja Bell had not yet choked Kobe Bryant, and had not become famous in one battle, but he was signed by the Mavericks and became the starter for the Mavericks, and his defensive strength was recognized.
On December 4, Lu Yu continued to play the role of an organizational forward, scoring 17 assists in a single game, helping Hamilton score 33 points and defeat the Hornets.
On the 5th, the Bulls played against the Cavaliers at home. The Cavaliers are determined to mess up this year. In order to get the No. 1 pick next year and draft James, they have no intention of playing the game.
I can't wait to send in all the substitutes and let the Bulls abuse me again.
But for the Bulls, there is no difference between their main players and their substitutes.
Lu Yu scored 19 points and 6 assists. He went to the court as a spectator before the third quarter was finished. Artest also scored 20 points. Some fans ridiculed that if the game continues like this, Lu Yu will make himself a substitute.
.
On December 11, the Bulls defeated the Magic 113-89 in an away game. Richardson broke out, scoring 31 points and 6 assists, helping the Bulls win their 21st consecutive victory.
This winning streak also exceeds the 20-game winning streak in Bucks history.
The Bucks won the only NBA championship title in team history in the 1970-1971 season.
The team achieved an absolute advantage of 20 consecutive victories in the game, and ended with 66 wins and 16 losses in the regular season. Alcindor was elected the most valuable player with an average of 31.7 points per game, and guard Oscar Robertson also laid the foundation for the team's success.
.
The Bulls' 21-game winning streak ranks second in history.
The one ahead of them is the Lakers' 33-game winning streak.
McGrady was also helpless. He found that as long as he was in the East, he could not beat Lu Yu's Bulls. The current Bulls were too strong.
Lakers 1972 In the 1971-1972 season, the Lakers' record was 69 wins and 13 losses, becoming the NBA championship at the time.
The combination of veterans Chamberlain and West and rising stars Goodrich and Hull Hiiragi played a miraculous role. The team created the longest winning streak of 33 consecutive victories from November 5, 1971 to January 7, 1972.
record.
All fans are looking forward to whether the Bulls can break this historical record.
Even if they fail to break this record in the end, the current winning streak is enough to shock fans. You must know that the Lakers' 33-game winning streak only started in November, which means that at the beginning of the season, the Lakers still lost a few games.
The Bulls, on the other hand, have not lost a game since the start of the season!
Who can break the Bulls' undefeated streak?
Everyone has their eyes on the Lakers.
But the Lakers are also facing a problem now-O'Neal's injury has not fully recovered.
In the preseason at the beginning of the season, O'Neal did not play due to toe pain. In the end, the Lakers won 3 wins and 4 losses, and their preseason results were not ideal.
One week after the regular season started, the Lakers did not see O'Neal.
On October 15, O'Neal, who was recovering, was injured again due to too much practice.
Doctors had warned "Shark" O'Neal not to exert too much force on his surgically repaired right big toe, but O'Neal jumped on his bicycle and did some light jogging before the Lakers' practice game on October 14.
After practice on the 15th, "Shark" O'Neal said the soles of his feet began to bother him.
O'Neal said the pain was not severe and he planned to see a doctor on October 16.
After returning from illness, O'Neal returned to the team in early November, but his performance on the field was not as dominant as last season.
Even the playing time was reduced by five minutes like Lu Yu, but Lu Yu was because the team took a big lead every time, while O'Neal was because of injuries.
Now Lu Yu is averaging 23 points per game. Although his scoring is not high, he can drive his opponents. The organizational forward style of play is very suitable for him. This allows the Bulls' offensive power to explode while also continuing the iron-bloodedness of last season.
Defense.
The Bulls lead the league with 112.8 points per game and rank fifth in the league with 93.2 points allowed per game. Lu Yu only needs to break out once or twice, and there is no need to work hard every game.
The trident formed by Lu Yu, Richardson and Hamilton, with full firepower from the outside, is the most powerful combination in the league.
It seems like no team can beat the Bulls anymore.
On December 25th, in the Christmas Day game, the Bulls faced the Lakers away from home.
Stewart came to the scene to cheer for her brother Lu Yu. Although Lu Yu kept warning her to call her uncle, Stewart insisted on her own idea and reminded Lu Yu that she was about to be one year older.
Lu Yu: "..."
It's none of my business that you're a year older.
The Lakers got off to a bad start this season. After losing two games in a row, they didn't open up the game until they faced their city rivals the Clippers in Game 3. After winning against the Trail Blazers, they lost to the Cavaliers in Game 5.
The knight wanted to curse his mother.
Even I dare to lose, why don't you show any shame!
If they didn't know that the Lakers weren't competing with him for the No. 1 pick just to show off, the Cavaliers would have wanted to sue the league for match-fixing.
The Cavaliers are bad, but the Lakers are really bad at this time.
The Lakers, who lacked O'Neal, could not see Kobe's leadership ability at all, which also frustrated Kobe. He always thought that he and Lu Yu were players of the same level, but when O'Neal was not there, he could not lead the team to victory.
But he quickly cheered up. That's how he is, never admit defeat.
In fact, his thinking was too extreme. The Bulls' lineup benefited from the child labor contracts of many young rookie players, but the Lakers were different. The contracts between O'Neal and him already occupied a large amount of salary space, which could give the Lakers
The money spent on reinforcements is pitiful, and when the role players are not of the same quality level, their leadership abilities cannot be compared.
Just like Tracy McGrady, why does he keep losing to Lu Yu?
Besides Tracy McGrady, is there anyone else on the Magic team?
Grant Hill is so injured, can he be counted on?
So far, the Lakers' record has reached 11 wins and 18 losses, ranking 11th in the Western Conference. To put it nicely, it is 11th in the Western Conference, and to put it worse, it is fifth to last in the Western Conference.
The Western Conference became 15 teams this season, and the Hornets moved from Charlotte to New Orleans.
The Eastern Conference has only eleven teams.
Among them, the Lakers not only lost to strong teams like the Spurs, but also to weak teams such as the Warriors, Cavaliers, and Hornets. Even the game that Kobe always wanted to play against Jordan's Wizards was defeated by Jordan by one point.
.
After the game, Jordan said to him with a caring look: "Young man, you almost beat me."
You say it's irritating or not.
In sharp contrast to the Lakers is Lu Yu's Chicago Bulls. The Bulls have won 29 consecutive games and are only 5 games away from breaking the record of 33 consecutive wins.
Logically speaking, the records of the two teams do not match at all, and fans should not expect the Lakers to overthrow the Bulls.
But you have to know that last season, the Lakers were the championship. Everyone knows that their poor record this season is due to O'Neal's injury, and the Bulls lost to the Lakers in the finals last season.
Furthermore, O'Neal has officially returned and led the Lakers to a narrow victory over the Raptors by 2 points in the last game against the Raptors.
NBA officials also deliberately arranged the game between the two teams on Christmas Day.
The NBA has always spared no effort in creating gimmicks.
In this season's All-Star voting, Lu Yu's votes have now firmly surpassed O'Neal and Kobe, temporarily becoming the All-Star voting leader, nearly doubling the number of votes cast by Vince Carter, who came in second.
The worst thing is that Carter is still ranked as a forward this year. Maybe Carter, who received the second most votes this year, won't even be in the starting lineup.
Ranking third in the vote is the god of basketball, Michael Jordan.
Then came O'Neal, Kobe and Iverson.
This year there is no competition between Lu Yu and Iverson for the starting guard in the Eastern Conference. Iverson is obviously relieved.
You must know that Jordan will definitely lock in a starting position. If Lu Yu plays guard this season, Iverson will definitely have to play as a substitute. Now he can only observe three minutes of silence for Carter.
For O'Neal and Kobe, they can't lose to Lu Yu in the All-Star vote, but also lose to him on the court, right?
Therefore, this mission of sniping the Bulls' winning streak is inevitable!
