With Old Mike's passionate introduction and the cheers of all Gonzaga fans, Lu Yu walked into the stadium.
"Annie, look at Gonzaga's No. 10, he's more handsome in person than on TV."
"well enough……"
"You don't understand, what determines a man's appearance is not his facial features, but his melancholy and deep eyes."
"..."
Anne Hathaway didn't dare to look. She always felt that No. 10's eyes seemed to be looking at her vaguely, and she didn't know if it was an illusion.
After Lu Yu walked into the stadium, he made sure that Snoopy had not lied to him. When he saw Anne Hathaway sitting under the court, he couldn't help but smile. He didn't expect that the other party would pass the game when they saw him for the first time.
The game was about to start. He took a deep breath and looked at the system panel.
"The breathing method of water is 51%, the breathing method of fire is 17%, the breathing method of thunder is 14%..."
It stands to reason that I am stronger now than when I first started school. It is not only the improvement of physical fitness, but also the understanding of basketball tactics, as well as the running-in with my teammates.
The effect of time following his training is even beyond everyone's expectations. No matter how you look at it, Gonzaga's strength has improved to a higher level.
But when I saw the lineup of the Arizona Wildcats, I still couldn't help but take a breath.
Point Guard: Jason Gardner,
Although this point guard is not tall, he is very fast. Jason Gardner still averaged 12.3 points, 3.0 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game last season.
Shooting Guard: Gilbert Arenas,
The leading scorer at the University of Arizona, Arenas joined the University of Arizona at a time when team stars Michael Dixon, Mike Bibby and Myles Simon all chose to participate in the NBA draft, so he became a member of the team as soon as he arrived.
First choice for offense.
Averaged 16.2 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game.
Small Forward: Richard Jefferson,
As the starting small forward, Richard Jefferson's scoring data of 11.3 points per game is actually only a little higher than point guard Jason Gardner, which shows the depth of the Arizona Wildcats' lineup.
Power forward: Michael Wright, the team's second leading scorer, averaging 15.6 points and 7.8 rebounds per game. He is a senior this year. Although his statistics are very good, compared with others, he has the least possibility of entering the NBA.
.
Center: Loren Woods, 218cm tall, looks like a telegraph pole when standing inside. With his outstanding height, he averages 13.2 points and 6.5 rebounds per game.
No wonder this starting lineup can sweep the NCAA.
What's more, sitting on the bench was Luke Walton, who was chewing gum and constantly looking for beautiful women on the sidelines.
"Look at their configuration, they can almost form an NBA team..."
Lu Yu sighed with emotion.
suddenly,
He saw Arenas standing not far away, so he walked over with a smile on his face: "Gilbert, my dearest friend, don't forget the agreement between us for this game."
"certainly."
Arenas showed a naive smile: "I have prepared a hundred dollars, because you know all my tricks. I want to score points on you in this game, but I am afraid it will be more difficult."
Lu Yu sighed leisurely: "Actually, I'm the same as you."
The referee took the ball and walked to the center circle, raised the ball, and ten players from both sides stood up. Standing next to Lu Yu was Arenas with a cunning look in his eyes. Lu Yu looked at the basketball in the referee's hand.
, said in a low voice: "Let's make an agreement first. If you lose, you won't cheat."
Arenas was stunned for a moment, and then he felt a rush of energy and blood.
Cheating?
I've never cheated on my bets in my life... Wait, I haven't lost yet, so why should I cheat?
The basketball was thrown into the air by the referee. Of course, Casey Green couldn't grab it from Loren Woods, who was like a telegraph pole on the opposite side. Loren Woods flicked the ball towards his teammate Jason Gard with a big hand.
Na.
At this moment, Arenas suddenly felt that Lu Yu beside him was missing.
The next second, Lu Yu appeared next to Jason Gardner, quickly took the ball away before the opponent could catch it, and immediately moved forward as soon as the ball was in hand.
"Captain, do I trust you?" Lu Yu said to Casey Green with a smile.
Casey Green didn't care and ran to the inside with his head down. Anyway, as long as he can win, it doesn't matter what Lu Yu says.
The Wildcats' players also reacted quickly, quickly returning to defense and getting into position to not give the Bulldogs a chance to break fast.
Lu Yu glanced at the overall situation and immediately understood that he couldn't afford a fast break now. He raised two fingers to indicate the No. 2 tactic.
The teammates understood and started running continuously.
Lu Yu lobbed the ball to Casey Green, and then got a mismatch with Dan Dickau. Dan Dickau blocked Arenas who was chasing Lu Yu. Lu Yu immediately reached for the ball after breaking away from Arenas' defense.
Casey Green was already ready to pass the ball. After receiving the ball, Lu Yu accelerated to the right and suddenly changed direction and squeezed inside. Jason Gardner, who was switching defense with Arenas, was suddenly thrown away.
However, Lu Yu easily made a layup, and even center Loren Woods did not react. Lu Yu had already scored the first goal of the game.
"Didn't Gilbert say he's good at pull-up jump shots?"
"Am I too careless?"
Jason Gardner and Loren Woods are in deep self-doubt.
"nice shot!"
Casey Green stood under the basket. When he saw Lu Yu change direction and throw away the opponent, diagonally inserting into the inside for a layup, he knew the ball was safe.
"Nice job!" Dan Dickau said softly as he walked past Lu Yu.
"Well, get back on defense quickly." Lu Yu nodded, looking at the Wildcats players who had already served and ordered.
Mark Foyo sat at ease off the field. He found that Lu Yu was becoming more and more leadership-like. Whether it was on the training ground or in the competition field, the players seemed to be very obedient to Lu Yu's words.
Especially Casey Green, Dan Dickau and Blake Stepp, the relationship between the four of them is obviously closer. These four players will form the best team of the Gonzaga Bulldogs.
"There has been great progress, but unfortunately the time is still too short." Mark Foyo said with some regret.
Compared with the beginning of the season, Lu Yu and the entire team are improving, but it is obvious that they are still unable to compete with top teams like the Arizona Wildcats.
This is not about boosting other people's ambitions.
Instead, they should recognize their own shortcomings. Inside, Casey Green is not high enough and is basically suppressed by Loren Woods. The outside firepower almost entirely depends on the output of Lu Yu and Dan Dickao. If one of them misfires,
, this game is basically explained.
When facing other teams, you can also rely on defensive counterattacks or limiting the opponent's scoring to make up for it.
But the opponent is the Arizona Wildcats. This team is too balanced. They can score in almost every position and can defend. Unless all five starters on the field are misfired, the probability of winning the game is very, very small.
"Not bad, just treat it as a training for the team to let them recognize their shortcomings. When they enter the top 64, they should be on a higher level." Mark Foyo smiled with satisfaction.
Suddenly, his smile froze on his face.
Because he suddenly discovered that the Arizona Wildcats' offense... didn't seem quite right.
