Chapter 277 Get back 6,000 of the MVP lost last year
The Warriors played very hard during this period. On the offensive end, they encountered Lu Yu, a rogue. Lu Yu selectively gave up Jamison, and Richardson constantly flanked Arenas.
Lu Yu feels that Arenas now has the ability he had when he was a general with the Wizards in his previous life.
This surprised Lu Yu a little.
Lu Yu didn't know that it was because of an opponent like him that he had been chasing since college that Arenas could progress so quickly.
People can't have pressure. When there is pressure, there is motivation.
The most important thing is that even the goddess of luck is standing beside Arenas today.
Not only can the ball be hit steadily every time, but sometimes the basketball can bounce high on the basket and eventually fall into the basket.
During this period, Lu Yu except for one three-point shot from the outside, spent the rest of the time going to the basket. If he encountered double-teams, he would score the ball. If there were no double-teams, he would hit Yao Ming. Only when Yao Ming goes down can this game be easy to play.
Yao Ming's intimidating power inside defense is so deceptive.
Yao Ming also understands Lu Yu's thoughts, so whenever Lu Yu rushes in, he will never attack, and when other players rush in, he will never be merciless.
The two teams went back and forth, and the fight was fierce.
Yao Ming took the ball with his big hand and pushed it directly to the bottom corner. Arenas took the ball and shot directly and hit!
In the last minute, 120:119, the Bulls were one point behind.
"Both teams now have no timeouts, relying on the players' self-adjustment on the court. The coaches on both sides did not expect that the fight would be so fierce at the last moment... Let's take a look at the data of the players on both sides, my God,
Arenas has already scored 55 points, and Lu Yu has also scored 48 points. The fourth quarter is basically a period where these two players are scoring each other. Director Zhang, I don’t know if you have noticed that today’s Lu
Yu, his desire to attack is obviously much stronger, you must know that his scoring average this season has not been high."
"Yes, maybe Arenas' appearance inspired Lu Yu now, maybe it was his teammates' poor touch today that forced Lu Yu to break out, or maybe it was because the Bulls have been winning this season and there was no pressure, so Lu Yu didn't score.
desire, in short, this game completely stimulated Lu Yu’s fighting spirit and desire to score. I think starting from today, everyone can see a real Lu Yu.”
"There are still 56 seconds left in the game, and the ball belongs to the Warriors. This is not very beneficial to the Bulls."
"Yes, the Warriors have the equivalent of one more offensive right, and now the Warriors are one point ahead. The initiative is in the hands of the Warriors. We can see that Arenas is setting the pace..."
It wasn't until there were eight seconds left in the 24-second attack that Yao Ming stepped up to the high post and provided a screen for Arenas.
"Pinch attack!"
Lu Yu shouted, he didn't believe Arenas would choose to pass the ball at this time.
Yao Ming used a high screen, Arenas crossed and changed direction and broke through to the right. Miller let go of Yao Ming and flanked Arenas with Richardson. Arenas was still breaking through and reached the bottom line.
Professional basketball players all know that the bottom line is the most dangerous place, because that line is equivalent to a natural defensive player.
As an attacker, if you can avoid taking the bottom line, try not to take it.
The ribs and the midline are both good offensive options, but Arenas chose the bottom line at this time.
Miller began to feel guilty. He glanced in the direction of Yao Ming out of the corner of his eye. He was worried about Yao Ming's resignation.
At this time, Arenas jumped up, floated in the air, and then pulled the lever.
"I go!"
Lu Yu cursed secretly.
The moment when Miller's defense was lax gave Arenas room to pull the lever, the basketball came out from the other side of the basket, and then began to fall after grazing the backboard.
"Whoosh!"
In!
122:119
The fans in the audience immediately became excited. Arenas is so crazy. He can even make such a difficult shot. Arenas has already scored 57 points. This is the highest score in his career and it is also his step towards becoming a superstar.
first step!
"This is the first time Arenas has scored 55 points in his career. He is likely to become the next superstar of the Warriors." Sun Yiping said excitedly.
"If Lu Yu scores 50 points, it will be the fourth time in history that two players have scored 50 points in the same game."
Zhang Weiping said:
"One game happened in 1961 when Chamberlain played against Baylor. In this game, Chamberlain scored 78 points and Baylor scored 63 points. There was another game in 1962 when Chamberlain played against Rich Gallen. They scored respectively.
Scored 67 points and 50 points, and Marshal Zhang’s name appeared in these two games.”
"The third game was between the Lakers and the Warriors in 2000. Jamison and Kobe scored 51 points at the same time. If Lu Yu also scored 50 points in this game, then his and Arenas' names would appear in this historical record.
."
The big screen at the scene also displayed such data.
However, the players on the field couldn't see it. Lu Yu focused all his attention on the next round of offense. After halftime, he handed the ball to Boozer and then started running with him.
Hamilton was in the position, and the two of them kept crossing and cutting to cover.
Finally, Lu Yu found a gap in the bottom corner.
Boozer passed the ball directly.
Lu Yu didn't hesitate, raised his hand and shot. The basketball passed Jamison's fingertips, drew a perfect arc, and fell into the basket with a swoosh as the fans held their breath.
After throwing the ball, Lu Yu fell directly to the ground, and then got up immediately.
grass!
In!
It took less than 7 seconds to complete the attack.
122:122, both sides tied.
"Go in! Lu Yu scored. Lu Yu scored 51 points, the highest score in his career. At the same time, this is also the fourth time in history that two players scored 50 points at the same time!"
"There are 25 seconds left in the game, the Warriors have the ball!"
The Warriors are pressing the tempo and have been pressing the tempo!
They want to run out the game time until the last minute. Even if they fail to score, the game will enter overtime, and the initiative is still in the hands of the Warriors.
Arenas controlled the basketball steadily, his eyes constantly looking at the timer.
Normally, he can attack in eight seconds, but this time he delayed the 24 seconds of the game to six seconds before starting to attack from behind.
Richardson chested Arenas.
5…4…
He pressed into the paint area, suddenly turned around, feinted, and took action!
3…
A black shadow appeared on Arenas' side.
It's Lu Yu!
"Lu Yu interfered with Arenas' shot. Arenas missed the shot. Boozer grabbed the rebound. Murphy did not foul. The basketball was thrown to the front court. Lu Yu chased after him and got the basketball.
The location of the logo area was thrown out..."
Light!
The ball is still flying...
…
Lu Yu kept shooting shots in the training hall. Since taking away the victory from Oakland that day, he has been in a state of excitement, scoring more than 40 points in three consecutive games.
In the past, he has always positioned himself as a traditional organizational forward. For tactical reasons, he understands tactics and the position of each teammate, so he is like a commander, a ruthless machine, and even the game changes in his hands.
It became a calculation without passion.
But when Arenas scored 57 points in front of him and stimulated his nerves with one goal after another, he knew that the most primitive impulse buried in his heart burst out.
Score!
Keep scoring!
No matter what tactics, calculations, or theories, at this time, they are not as satisfying as the excitement of scoring!
His scoring average this month is already very high, 33.6 points, but there are actually three people who averaged higher than him this month. One is Arenas who just finished playing, and the other two are McGrady and Kobe.
In Lu Yu's previous life, Tracy McGrady was the season's scoring leader, and Kobe was the second in scoring this season. Lu Yu could understand that the two of them could score more than him, but Arenas' explosion was beyond Lu Yu's expectation.
It seems like the West is getting even more chaotic this year.
The most important thing is that with Arenas's performance, I don't know if he will compete with Yao Ming for the top spot in the future.
You must know that Arenas cannot be awesome. When he is awesome, he will act stupidly. When he acts awkwardly, he will act stupid.
I'll have to find time to beat him up later.
But Lu Yu also knows that with Arenas's performance, it will be increasingly difficult to beat him in the future.
So Lu Yu also spent a lot of time on training.
After Lu Yu finished throwing the last ball, Annie, who had been standing on the sidelines, handed him a towel and said softly: "I see you are sweating profusely, wipe it off!"
A few days after Annie came back, Lu Yu was no longer a bachelor.
It feels different to have a girlfriend with you. He took the towel and kissed Annie's forehead gently with his lips.
Lu Yu suddenly thought that he, who was busy training and competing every day, had never gone out with her.
"Aren't you unhappy that I haven't been with you during this time?"
"how come."
"Let me go shopping with you today."
"Okay... Well, forget it, don't worry about me. I can adapt to this situation. This time is too precious for you now. You are busy training and competing every day, so don't waste your time.
The money is spent on me! If you really want to accompany me, wait until this period of time is over before you can accompany me again!"
Annie almost couldn't help but agreed, but she knew better why Lu Yu trained so hard.
Lu Yu himself said that from the first day he entered the NBA, he wanted to win the championship!
…
Staples Center, Los Angeles.
Kobe Bryant looked at the timer above the court, and the rapidly beating time made his blood boil.
He enjoyed the feeling of this last shot.
Lu Yu performed very well during this period, and the team's record was much better than the Lakers.
He was even a little jealous of Lu Yu. It felt like the eyes of the whole world were focused on Lu Yu. Even though he and Lu Yu were friends, they were also competitors.
He has always felt that he is the strongest player in the world, but compared to the last shot, he prefers the current state of clocking out in the third quarter, which shows that the team is getting better and better.
Sitting off the court and receiving the admiration of the fans during the break is a completely different feeling than receiving the admiration of the last shot on the court.
In this game, it's time for the last shot again.
He was running rapidly, and there were always two people flanking him in front of and behind him. By this time, everyone knew that the last shot must belong to Kobe.
O'Neal is not eligible for the last shot, so he would be lucky if he missed the last free throw.
Kobe's teammates have been looking for opportunities to help him cover and find opportunities for him to catch the ball.
As the time on the timer ticked, Kobe still didn't reach the right position.
After breaking through from O'Neal, Fisher directly passed the ball back to O'Neal, and at that moment Kobe ran past O'Neal, hand-to-hand, and the ball went into Kobe's hands.
Accelerating, Kobe rushed into the paint.
Stopping suddenly, turning around and playing with his back, Kobe was already playing like a standard inside player.
With his back to the basket and leaning against the defender, a player quickly rushed up to attack him. He ignored him and instead suddenly turned his back and passed between the two defenders, turning to the front of the basket for a jump shot...
The opponent's center had already defended Kobe Bryant's move and had been waiting here for a long time. When he saw Kobe jumping up, he was about to go up and block the shot.
His giant palm quickly appeared on top of Kobe's head, and the audience at the scene also screamed. In their opinion, Kobe was definitely hopeless with this ball under the protection of three people. If he had known that, it would have been worse just now.
Let other players take action!
Kobe's mouth curved slightly, "Only three defensive players?"
He retracted his shooting hand, and when the opponent's center blocked the shot, his body curled up like a hedgehog, and then suddenly stretched out. Only then did the opponent's center realize that he was already falling, but Kobe still relied on his waist and abdomen.
The power is in the air.
Kobe quickly got rid of the interference of the opponent's center's big hands. The moment his eyes could see the basket, he took action.
The ball in his hand just passed over the head of the opponent's center, crossed the basket, and only after hitting the backboard did it change direction and fall downwards.
And underneath, is the basket.
"The ball is in! The ball is in!"
Only the cheers of the audience could be heard at the scene, and the excited shouts of the on-site commentator finally reached everyone's eardrums: "It's Kobe! It's Kobe! He made the last shot again! He is our well-deserved MVP."
!”
The audience roared with MVP cheers.
O'Neal rushed up and hugged him from behind, "Well done!"
He was troubled by injuries this season, and he would feel bad if he didn't try to flatter Kobe more.
The dazzling light shone on Kobe's body. Kobe was roaring. He pulled the jersey on his chest to reveal the white quick-drying clothes underneath. The veins on his arms were exposed. He was roaring excitedly. This is Kobe!
Back in the locker room, Kobe slowly regained his composure after taking a shower.
Isn't it normal to make the last shot?
What happened to me recently? Why did I suddenly become so easily excited? Is it because I was stimulated by Lu Yu who kept getting high scores during this period?
Soon it was time for media interviews. He was in a good mood today and answered every question from the media very cooperatively.
At this moment, he heard a sudden murmur of discussion from the audience.
"Oh my god, Lu Yu has already scored 50 points in the game against the Wizards, and the third quarter has just started not long ago..."
Upon hearing the news, all the reporters squirmed, and the sound spread among each other like an explosion. Everyone was whispering to each other to determine the authenticity of the news!
This was very rude to Kobe who was being interviewed, but Kobe didn't care. He was more concerned about the news. He scored 50 points in the third quarter...
What a crazy boy!
In Washington, no fans were sitting at this time. Everyone opened their eyes wide and looked at this scene in disbelief. In just the third quarter, Lu Yu scored 50 points in the third quarter.
This is simply insane.
He was standing on the free throw line and slowly calming down. The layup just now made his score exceed 50 points. It was only the third quarter now, which means that this game is very likely for him to break his career again.
score record.
He took the ball thrown by the referee, patted it slowly on the ground twice, then took the shot, and as expected he was hit again.
This was his 51st point and his 19th free throw today. He made 18 of 19 free throws.
The game continues on the court. At this time, the Bulls are already leading the Wizards by more than 20 points. It seems that their opponents have been beaten and their morale has been weakened. The fans can no longer find anything to watch from the game itself. They
Just looking at the guy on the field who looked like a god of death - Lu Yu.
As Wizards fans, they are torn. They want to support their team, but they don't want to miss Lu Yu's performance.
At present, it seems that the team cannot be supported. How can we support a team that cannot support the wall?
Let’s watch the show!
Everyone's face showed excitement. As soon as Lu Yu got the ball, he started to cheer. The only one with a strange expression was Cartwright.
Cartwright's brows were furrowed. Lu Yu might have been enjoying himself on the court and didn't care, but Cartwright could see clearly off the court that the Wizards' fouls on Lu Yu were becoming more and more severe.
It can be seen from Lu Yu's layup just now that he was knocked away. Although the ball was scored, such a goal was not worthy of such a harsh foul from the opponent. It was suspected of a malicious foul.
The dog bites people when he is anxious!
Cartwright wanted to blame him, but the one who fouled Lu Yu was his former good brother, the old gangster Jordan. Jordan had always played with such ferocity. In their era, this ferocity was already engraved in their genes.
Cartwright was considering whether to replace Lu Yu. After all, he was already leading by 20 points, so there was no need for Lu Yu to stay on the court. But the embarrassing thing was that the game was only in the third quarter.
A burst of cheers pulled him out of his thoughts. It turned out that Lu Yu hit another three-pointer.
57 points.
Lu Yu has scored 57 points!
Cartwright knew that Lu Yu was likely to get his first 60-point record today, but he really didn't want to leave Lu Yu on the court. Doing so would only increase the risk of Lu Yu getting injured.
But seeing Lu Yu's excited eyes, he knew that Lu Yu still wanted to be on the court.
Just when he was in trouble.
"drop!"
The referee blew the foul whistle again, and the fans in the audience screamed. Lu Yu was knocked out of the air, twisted his body in the air, and threw the ball into the basket.
At this time, scoring goals was not the most important thing. It could be clearly seen from the big screen at the scene that Lu Yu was first dragged to the arm, and then collided with the Wizards center and flew out directly. You can even see the tattoo on Lu Yu's arm.
Stripes of blood.
All the fans, teammates and coaches on the sidelines were looking at Lu Yu with concern. Artest had already rushed forward to prepare for an all-out showdown with his opponent.
At this time, Lu Yu stood up!
Cartwright finally felt relieved and let out a long sigh of relief.
The team doctor hurriedly came forward to check. After checking and bandaging, he found that there were no traces of injury except for a few blood stains from being scratched. Fortunately, Lu Yu had strong waist and abdomen, and his body instinctively protected himself after shooting in the air.
When Cartwright saw Lu Yu's bandaged arm, his heart moved as if he were seeing a beautiful woman. He finally thought of a reason to let Lu Yu take a break.
Lu Yu stood on the free throw line and made the free throw easily.
The Wizards shot missed the basket, the Bulls took off the rebound and immediately called a timeout.
"Messer, you come on, Lu Yu will come down and rest." Cartwright arranged.
Lu Yu was startled.
"Your arm has been injured. It is not yet certain whether there are other injuries. There is no need to play this game again."
"..."
Lu Yu knew that this game was basically like this. He was counting in his mind, how many points had he scored?
It seems like 60 points?
A new season high. Kobe hasn't reached 60 yet, neither has Arenas, nor has Tracy McGrady. It seems he is better.
Lu Yu, who was sitting on the sidelines, sighed. If he had known better, he would have passed two fewer balls to himself and hit two more irons to make the score closer. Don't lead by so much, so that Cartwright would not dare to replace himself.
Maybe I can still be on the court. What if I score 70 or 80 points?
How many times can a person have such an opportunity in his life?
He looked at his right arm, which was wrapped with white gauze. Is it just a small injury?
And that stupid center from the Wizards, you just fouled me if you got a fucking foul, why bother me when I have nothing to do, now it’s over, the scoring record that could have been recorded in history has been ruined.
What's even more irritating is Michael Jordan. You've already collected all the records. What's wrong with asking me to collect a few?
Lu Yu's heart was full of resentment at this time.
At the same time, Kobe turned off the TV in the locker room. Lu Yu scored 60 points. He had never scored such a high score.
Next time, I will definitely surpass you in the next time!
"Shaq, who is our opponent in the next game?"
O'Neal thought for a while: "It seems... a Piston?"
"Damn it!"
Kobe cursed secretly, thinking: "Then let's get to the end!"
"Which team will we face next?"
"Oh, I just watched it together, it's the Spurs."
"..."
"Do you want to defeat Lu Yu?" O'Neal suddenly became very considerate.
Kobe looked at him in surprise.
The relationship between him and O'Neal has always been bad. If he hadn't been carrying the team forward recently, O'Neal's attitude would have softened, but he would never be as "mean" as he is today.
"I think you can beat him in Atlanta. The day after tomorrow is the All-Star Game. How about we go to the All-Star Game to defeat him so that he can't win the MVP of the All-Star Game like last year?"
Kobe suddenly understood.
It turns out that O'Neal was the troublemaker here. When O'Neal was interviewed by the media before, he even jealously said that Lu Yu's relationship with Kobe was better than his relationship with Kobe. He had long been unhappy with Lu Yu.
Regardless of whether O'Neal was stirring up trouble or not, Kobe did exactly that.
He wants to compete with Lu Yu for the All-Star Game MVP and regain the MVP he lost last year.
