Chapter 276 Did I say I want to fight you one-on-one? Ask for a monthly ticket]
"Now the score between the two sides is 47:47. Lu Yu's super long three-pointer tied the score. This was a heart-wrenching three-pointer that directly extinguished the fiery atmosphere at the Warriors' home court."
Sun Yiping said excitedly.
"Lu Yu's shooting posture is very elegant and really accurate... When the Warriors attacked, they didn't panic. Arenas made a wonderful pass in the face of the Bulls' attack. Jamison on the baseline caught the ball and made a layup. With the cooperation
There’s a great understanding.”
Lu Yu faced the Warriors' defense and called a pick-and-roll. Miller came up to help him block the defender. At this time, Warriors center Yao Ming pounced.
"Be careful if I guard you and it will be embarrassing. This will be broadcast in China." Yao Ming said.
"Really?" Lu Yu smiled slightly.
He suddenly lowered his center of gravity, changed direction in advance and then greatly accelerated his movement, tearing the gap between Yao Ming and Jamison like a cheetah, and then passed through the gap between them with two quick low dribbles.
Yao Ming paused, knowing that he had no time to return to defense.
"Lu Yu's shot is so beautiful. He is a typical guard who uses the funnel at the moment of switching to tear apart the defensive formation after covering the screen. You must know that he is more than two meters tall. You can see Lu Yu frequently using this skill this season.
Breakthrough action, and his breakthrough can be said to be almost textbook." Sun Yiping said.
Lu Yu had a smooth road in front of him.
accelerate,
Score a basket.
49:49
The whistle sounded and the Warriors called a timeout. The Warriors head coach did not choose to call a timeout immediately when Lu Yu hit the three-pointer, because the score at that time was just tied. He chose to believe in his players and when Lu Yu hit
After the second tie, that is, when the game is tied for the second time, if a timeout is called at this time, the psychological fluctuations of the players will not be too great.
Therefore, a good coach not only knows when to deploy what tactics, but more importantly, he understands his players and their psychological emotions.
The Warriors head coach took the tactical board and tugged on the tie of his suit: "I don't think I need to say more about the offense. You guys played great. What I want to emphasize is the defense. Antoine, you have to use it against the Bulls' Lu.
Pressure, we can't let him break through so easily. We can't flank him. It's far from the time to flank him, so you have to work hard on defense. Yao, when the opponent's center is covering, you have to do a good job of returning.
Prepare to retreat, the opponent doesn't dare to take a shot easily in front of you, you are too high, what you have to do is to prevent him from hitting the basket, do you understand?"
"clear!"
Cartwright frowned. He didn't know what kind of medicine the other party was selling. He didn't call timeout when he should have called it, but called timeout when he shouldn't have called it. What exactly was going to be arranged? What adjustments were made to the personnel? This
It made him a little unsure.
Lu Yu smiled: "Standing unchanged is the best way to cope with all changes."
After the timeout, players from both sides took the field. It turned out that there were no changes in the Warriors' players at all. The old fox on the opposite side took a false shot, but fortunately Cartwright was not fooled.
When the coaches on both sides had a battle of wits and courage, Richardson and Hamilton's "blind chicken run" tactics caught the opponent by surprise. The opponent called a timeout without making any personnel adjustments and it was just a false shot.
"This game is great to watch. Both sides are really serious about it." Zhang Weiping said excitedly: "What do you want to watch when watching a basketball game? In addition to the players' skills and tactics, the battle of wits and courage between the coaches is the best thing to watch.
It’s a competition between the two coaches, let’s see who can have the last laugh.”
When Lu Yu passed by the Warriors bench, he turned and glanced at Eric Musselman, the useless coach of the Warriors in history.
It doesn't look that useless, but it has two brushes.
The game continued. The Warriors controlled the ball. After halftime, Yao Ming mentioned the free throw line to catch the ball. Yao Ming is very tall. He got stuck in the paint and asked for the ball. Miller could also go around the front and back to defend, but if Yao Ming mentioned the high post,
Well, Miller had nothing to do with Yao Ming catching the ball.
Lu Yu suddenly noticed that Jamison was moving towards Arenas.
Off ball screen?
He smiled. Jamison was indeed going to provide an off-ball screen for Arenas, and they didn't intend to do it very covertly, because their purpose was obvious, which was to force Lu Yu and Richardson to switch defenses.
Lu Yu wanted to go around, but Arenas' arm was hanging tightly on his body. They were sure that Arenas could cause trouble to Lu Yu, and Arenas also had this confidence.
If you want to change it, then change it.
"Change defense!"
Lu Yu shouted loudly, and when Richardson heard the sound, he moved his steps and gave up his position.
Arenas stuck Lu Yu behind him. As soon as he got it, the ball came into his hands. Arenas, who received the ball, didn't even dribble the ball. He shook his shoulder directly to the right and judged that Lu Yu was moving to his right.
After that, he pulled his body back and turned to the left to shoot a fadeaway jumper.
Suddenly, a dark figure rose in front of him, it was Lu Yu.
"Great defense... Oh, I was deceived, Arenas didn't shoot." Sun Yiping sighed.
Arenas knew that Lu Yu's defense was very good. The two had been rivals since college, so he deliberately held back his hand. When Lu Yu blocked the shot, he dropped the ball and broke through to one side, making a sudden stop to shoot.
Lu Yu twisted around, but it was too late, so he could only interfere with his hands.
Arenas increased the arc of his shot, and the basketball passed over Lu Yu's fingertips and drew a high arc.
"Whoosh!"
The basketball hit the net.
"You almost covered me." Arenas curled his lips and shook his head. The meaning of shaking his head was self-evident, just like Mutombo wagging his finger.
51:49
Richardson passed the ball before halftime. Lu Yulun caught the ball and looked at Arenas not far away in a hurry.
"You can also switch defenses if you have the ability." Lu Yu said with a smile.
Arenas glanced at Lu Yu and said, "Okay."
Richardson made an OK gesture and took Jamison to the other side.
Lu Yu held the ball, one step away from the three-point line. The defender in front of him was changed to Arenas. He did not dribble. Arenas pressed his body tightly against Lu Yu. He could not give Lu Yu any space to shoot. Lu Yu
He is much taller than him, so he must give Lu Yu his body to prevent Lu Yu from scoring easily.
Lu Yu smiled and said, "Did I say I wanted to challenge you to a duel?"
Before he finished speaking, his wrist flicked.
The basketball jumped over the walls and flew directly to the right at a 45-degree angle. Richardson used a screen from the bottom line to shake off Jamison's defense. He received Lu Yu's pass from outside the three-point line and took the shot without even adjusting.
.
"Whoosh!"
The basketball hit the net.
51:52
At the end of the second quarter, the Bulls took the lead because of Lu Yu's "despicable" behavior.
…
Houston.
Jay Williams was lying on the sofa watching the game at halftime, gritting his teeth and turning off the TV. He suddenly found that the gap between himself and Lu Yu was getting wider and wider, which made him feel a little disappointed.
In fact, he played pretty well with the Rockets this year, but it was only pretty good.
He used to be the proud man of heaven, but Lu Yu taught him a lesson in the NCAA. From then on, he wanted to beat Lu Yu head-on one day.
It's a pity that Lu Yu has already left for the NBA.
I finally made it to the NBA, but when I thought I was just a rookie, not to mention Lu Yu, even Yao Ming, the rookie of the same class who won the No. 1 pick, was much better than him.
What upset him the most was that his former teammate, Boozer, had now become Lu Yu's younger brother.
Why?
But when he saw Lu Yu's game, he realized how powerful Lu Yu was.
For him, not only was he unable to defeat him, he was not even qualified to fight against him.
Distraught, he walked around the room twice, and after playing two games and still losing, he actually calmed down.
Taking a deep breath, he turned the TV back on.
On the TV screen, the game between the Warriors and Bulls had just entered the fourth quarter. The score was 81:83, and the Warriors were two points behind.
…
In the third quarter of the game, Lu Yu didn't rest for a minute. He scored 17 points and 5 assists in a single quarter, almost carrying the team forward alone.
The Bulls have won so smoothly this time that they almost forgot about the old problem from the beginning.
When faced with a strong interior barrier, it becomes difficult for the Bulls to score inside and can only rely on outside shooters' shooting percentages, which will make the game full of surprises.
When things go smoothly, the game may be taken away in three quarters.
But when things go wrong like today, the game will remain deadlocked.
Where we can see improvement is that this year's Boozer and Miller have given the Bulls some competitiveness inside, and they will not struggle as much as they did in the finals last season.
It was more difficult for the Warriors to score. The Bulls' continuous adjustments to the defensive formation brought a lot of trouble to the Warriors. Arenas was also dumbfounded by Lu Yu's shamelessness. He seriously wanted to challenge one another several times, but in the end he failed.
It was a coward, but this trick still worked, and the two-point difference was maintained until the fourth quarter.
"At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Lu Yu will rest for three to four minutes." Cartwright looked at Lu Yu, who was obviously having some physical problems, frowned slightly, and shouted loudly: "Can you help Lu Yu persevere?"
Do you want to stay here for four minutes?”
"able!"
The team members shouted loudly.
Cartwright clapped his hands to encourage everyone, but when the players came on the field, his brows furrowed. He always had an inexplicable worry in his heart. According to the cunning style of Warriors head coach Musselman, he would still be able to play at this time.
Give the Bulls a last chance to breathe?
Not far away, Musselman was as heavy as water, no one saw him, his eyes were shining with pride.
He is proud enough to be able to push the league's number one Bulls to this level.
But this is not enough!
Sure enough, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Yao Ming continued to score inside. On the contrary, although the Bulls used Hassell to strengthen the defense on the outside, they also gave up the offense. The team's several attacks were in vain.
And return.
87:87
The two sides tied.
Only a minute had passed, and the team couldn't hold on anymore. Cartwright resisted the urge to call a timeout. He wanted to believe in the players on the field. They were all professional players and they would definitely be able to make the best adjustments.
.
But he forgot that the reason why he was able to make adjustments in the past was mainly because of Lu Yu who was sitting off the court.
Arenas once again hit a mid-range shot.
Cartwright looked at the time, barely more than three minutes, and then looked at the bench, "Lu, can you come on?"
Lu Yu raised his head and said, "Okay."
"Are you sure? I don't want your body to have problems just because of a regular season game."
"I am sure."
"good."
Cartwright requested a substitution.
When Lu Yu came on the court, the Bulls were already 9 points behind, and were about to reach a double-digit deficit. No wonder Cartwright couldn't hold on. If he held on any longer, Lu Yu wouldn't be able to make a comeback even if he came on the court.
Oh my god.
Lu Yu used Boozer's cover to get rid of the defense in one step. As for Murphy, who was defending, his poor lateral speed, Lu Yu immediately changed speed and left him behind.
Yao Ming of the Warriors was guarding the basket. When he saw Lu Yu breaking through, he sighed inwardly: "This kid is still so fast."
When Lu Yu took off, Yao Ming also jumped up. As the most familiar teammate of the national team, he knew that Lu Yu must be ready to dodge in the air.
"The two aces of our national team are facing each other again. Can Lu Yu score this goal?" Sun Yiping said excitedly.
Lu Yu and Yao Ming collided in the air.
At this time, a figure suddenly appeared on the side of Lu Yu. Lu Yu even vaguely saw Arenas from the corner of his eye, who had been looking at the opportunity.
"After hiding for a whole game, it's finally time for a showdown!" Arenas shouted.
It’s over…
Sun Yiping sighed secretly, it seemed that Lu Yu's ball was doomed.
suddenly,
The ball emerged from the gap between Yao Ming and Arenas.
"It's a pass, Lu Yu didn't make a layup!"
"Hamilton caught the ball and shot a three-pointer! It's incredible! How did Lu Yu find Hamilton? You know he was caught between Yao Ming and Arenas. This pass was really beautiful."
Sun Yiping was uncontrollably excited.
After Arenas landed, he looked at Lu Yu, who had calmly walked back to the backcourt. In Lu Yu, he saw the shadow of several organizational masters in the league.
For Lu Yu, this is just an ordinary assist, and the score——
