At the end of the game, the Eastern team led the Western team by 14 points, 132 to 118, ending this year's All-Star Game.
Lu Yu played 30 minutes and won the All-Star Game MVP without much effort. He made 12 of 20 shots, 4 of 5 three-pointers, and 9 of 9 free throws. He scored a game-high 37 points and 9 assists.
The high score of 37 points also ranks third in history. The first place above Lu Yu is the ancient behemoth Chamberlain. In the 1962 All-Star Game, Chamberlain made 17 of 23 shots and scored 42 points.
Ranked second with 24 rebounds.
The second player shot 17-of-23 from the field and scored 40 points in the 1988 NBA All-Star Game.
And Jordan also felt that he really should retire from the stage of history in this game. He only scored 13 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. It is no wonder that the Wizards' record is so much worse than the Bulls. Originally, this MVP trophy was for
He prepared it, but in the end he could only become Lu Yu's background.
The larger backdrop is O'Neal.
He was dunked by Lu Yu in the All-Star Game and was almost humiliated.
O'Neal made 8 of 13 shots today and scored 22 points with a super high shooting rate, including 6 of 15 free throws. His free throw shooting rate was comparable to the three-point shooting rate of many players.
As a result, the media broke the news after the game that some Western Conference players claimed that O'Neal mobilized others to target Lu Yu before the game, which is why this game was fought from beginning to end.
O'Neal's fans don't believe it. They don't believe that this cute fat black guy can actually be a scheming bitch.
If it weren't for the fact that the Lakers were at their peak, league president David Stern would have wanted to suppress O'Neal right now. Stern even regretted winning the Lakers championship last year.
It was originally thought that O'Neal would be at his peak for a few years, coupled with the presence of rookie king Kobe, and Los Angeles, where the Lakers are located, is a big city, the establishment of such a purple and gold dynasty could bring back the poor ratings after the Bulls dynasty.
Now that I think about it, people like O'Neal will cause trouble for themselves sooner or later.
It’s better to praise Lu Yu!
The Chinese market behind Lu Yu can make him a lot of money. Unlike other foreign players, Lu Yu is a player who played in the NCAA and has a lot of fan base in the United States, so American fans do not care about him.
Exclusion, there are only a handful of racists who like to make a fuss about Lu Yu's skin color, but they are only a handful. Most American fans now like Lu Yu.
As for the two Lakers.
An arrogant person who doesn't like to deal with the media and only knows how to immerse himself in training. This kind of arrogant image can be used by fans in other markets to improve his personality, but doing this to local fans in the United States will only make the fans stay away from him.
.
Just like Lu Yu in his previous life, after Kobe Bryant and O'Neal parted ways, his popularity in Los Angeles plummeted. Many people didn't like this arrogant brat.
But what fans hate now is the other O'Neal in the Lakers duo.
A scheming bitch, narrow-minded, super jealous, jovial on the surface, but actually dark on the inside, such a player will not be loved by fans at all.
Whether it is the duo that supports the Lakers or the core of the Bulls, it is clear at a glance how Stern will choose.
After the All-Star Weekend, all the media were reporting that Lu Yu was targeted by O'Neal in the All-Star Game. Fortunately, the Eastern Conference players did not team up with O'Neal to bully Lu Yu, but instead supported Lu Yu's tactics with practical actions. This made
Lu Yu escaped.
Lu Yu was also very smart. After the game, he found Michael Jordan and gave him the MVP trophy.
Jordan's name is engraved on the trophy. It doesn't matter if you want it or not. You might as well give it to Jordan as a favor.
Jordan pretended not to accept it at first, but later reluctantly accepted it, which became a good story in history. The media also used cameras to record the moment when the two handed over the MVP trophy.
This time, Lu Yu was in sharp contrast to the narrow-minded O'Neal.
Lu Yu's excellence also made other teams realize that as long as they acquire Lu Yu, they can gain traffic and strong support from the league. Therefore, several teams immediately asked the Bulls before the trade deadline whether they would sell Lu Yu.
intention.
Bulls general manager Krause just wanted to say: "You are all thinking shit!"
The trade deadline soon came, and most teams also knew that it was impossible to trade Lu Yu. Lu Yu was not for sale in the Bulls, so many teams began to mess around, hoping to get another talented player in the summer draft.
,LeBron James.
This high school player nicknamed Lu Yu Second Generation, although his playing style is not as elegant as Lu Yu, he is indeed a rookie player who can influence the league pattern in the eyes of many basketball experts like Lu Yu.
Not long after the All-Star Game, the Bulls met the Lakers. The two sides fought until the last two minutes of the fourth quarter to decide the winner. Unlike the first time they met O'Neal, who had just returned from injury, this time O'Neal obviously
Much stronger.
But he met the more powerful Lu Yu.
Lu Yu once again scored 37 points, exactly the same as his score in the All-Star Game. Six other role players also scored in double figures. Compared with the Lakers who only relied on the OK combination, the Bulls played more as a team.
In the end, the Bulls defeated the Lakers 125-122.
Jackson Phil Jackson even wanted to replace O'Neal for a while, because O'Neal played too hard and lost himself in the boos of the Bulls' home fans. The result can be imagined.
It's not that O'Neal has never been booed by fans, but this time the boos from the Bulls' home fans were so harsh. He didn't understand what he did wrong. Why did a Chinese player and a yellow-skinned player deserve the support of so many American fans?
Except for the OK combination, the other players on the Lakers are playing more and more poorly this year, and it feels like they have completely lost the spirit of the defending champion.
Losing is also understandable.
82 games in the NBA regular season may seem like a long time, but months have passed before you know it. The Bulls only lost three games after the All-Star break, plus the two games they lost in the first half, they only lost five games in the entire regular season.
, got 77 wins.
When the Bulls defeated the Cavaliers and won their 73rd victory, all the fans went crazy.
The Cavaliers are also very pleased because they are one step closer to the No. 1 pick.
In five games, they lost to the Spurs, Heat, Nets, Suns and Kings.
The three games he lost in the second half were all because Cartwright, seeing that the playoffs were approaching, chose to rest the main players. Today he reported Artest with a sore butt, and tomorrow he reported Lu Yu with back pain.
Everyone knows it well and knows that the Bulls are starting to build momentum for the playoffs.
In the five games, the other four teams were all strong teams, but the loss to the Heat was the most unjust. The Heat did not even make the playoffs in the Eastern Conference this year and were a complete underdog. This made Caron Butler play
I was speechless for a long time when I called Lu Yu.
Despite losing five regular season games, the Bulls still relied on their own strength to win a record of 77 games in the regular season.
In one fell swoop, he broke Jordan's previous regular season record of 72 wins.
And it increased the margin of victory by five games. You must know that when Jordan led the Bulls to a record of 72 wins, many basketball commentators said that this record would almost never be broken, but only a few years later, it was
The Bulls led by Lu Yu broke through again.
The most important thing is that in addition to Jordan, the Bulls in 1996 also had All-Star players like Pippen and Rodman. In the Bulls... forget it, the Bulls also have two All-Stars this year in Miller and Artest.
Artest's inclusion in the All-Stars depends entirely on the help of Chinese fans. Otherwise, he would only be a substitute in the Bulls, so he would not be qualified to be in the All-Stars.
In addition to Miller, the most important reason why the Bulls can achieve this result is the two outside combinations of Hamilton and Richardson. One of the two can run and shoot, and the other can defend and shoot. Anyway, they can shoot and shoot.
The opponent cannot take care of himself.
Ranked second is the Spurs. They both achieved an excellent record of 60 wins. This season, Duncan has grown up visibly. With his young sports car and the long-haired Pampas vulture, he is advancing all the way.
Even the Bulls fell under his hands.
The Mavericks have the third best record. The Mavericks have the same 60-win record as the Spurs, but due to the relationship between wins and losses, they lost to the Spurs and only ranked third.
This is the Mavericks' best record in years.
The German tanks that had grown up, formed a troika with Steve Nash and Finley, and the bench gangsters led by Wang Zhizhi, made the entire Western Conference team unwilling to encounter them.
It's just that... Nash is too thin. In the playoffs full of confrontation, his small frame may not be able to bear it.
The Warriors have become the biggest dark horse. They have jumped from the bottom team last year to seventh in the Western Conference this year. They will play against the Mavericks in the playoffs. I believe many fans will watch the Chinese Derby playoffs for the first time.
Many fans predict that if the Mavericks enter the finals, will they run into the Bulls?
Then it will be the finals of the Chinese Derby!
Unfortunately, this probability is a bit small. You have to know that in this year's Western Conference, even though the Mavericks are so good in the regular season, in the playoffs, their weaknesses are too obvious and will be infinitely magnified.
The rankings from one to eight in the Western Conference playoffs are the Spurs, Mavericks, Timberwolves, Kings, Jazz, Lakers, Warriors, and Suns.
The results here in the East are surprising.
Boss Joe's Washington Wizards didn't even make it to the playoffs, which made Boss Joe's retirement season seem a little imperfect.
Jordan also announced his retirement directly after the regular season.
Immediately after the bloody incident happened, he wanted to buy back his shares in the Wizards, but the Wizards owner turned against him faster than turning over a book. He directly refused to admit it and asked Jordan to get out of the Wizards management.
Jordan was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Talking about the playoff rankings of the Eastern Conference teams, behind the Bulls are the Pistons with 50 wins, the New Jersey Nets with 49 wins, the Philadelphia 76ers with 48 wins and the same 48 wins but can only be ranked second.
The fourth Pacers.
The fifth place that surprised everyone was the Hornets, which was still a weak team last year. After moving this season, the Hornets quietly won 47 games, which surprised everyone.
No. 6 Boston Celtics.
No. 7 Milwaukee Bucks.
No. 8…Orlando Magic.
When McGrady saw this ranking, he had the urge to cry. For two consecutive years, he met Lu Yu in the playoffs for two consecutive years. Do you know how he got here in the past two years?
The end of the regular season has also seen the emergence of various data kings.
On the scoring list, McGrady topped the scoring list with an average of 32.1 points per game, more than 2 points higher than second-ranked Kobe Bryant's 30 points, shooting 45.7% from the field, 79.3% from the free throw line, and 38.6% from the three-point range.
Kobe, who ranked second, averaged 30 points per game, and his three shooting percentages were 45.1%, 84.3% and 38.3% respectively.
Arenas, ranked third, averaged 29.2 points per game and shot 47.2%, 76.4% and 43.8% from three fields.
Fourth place Iverson, averaging 27.6 points per game, shooting 41.4%, 77.4% and 27.7% from three fields
Iverson's three-point shooting percentage is really embarrassing.
I'm not bragging, seeing Iverson like this, Westbrook will definitely feel particularly aggrieved.
Everyone saw Lu Yu’s name in fifth place.
Lu Yu averaged 27.5 points per game in the regular season this season, which is not high. It is nearly 5 points lower than the first place Tracy McGrady.
But when everyone saw Lu Yu's three hit rates, they were all shocked.
Lu Yu's field goal percentage is 58.3%, the free throw percentage is 92%, the three-point shooting percentage is 46.4%, and the sum of the three shooting percentages is as high as 196.7!
This is no longer the 180 club, this is the proper 190 club!
Immediately afterwards, everyone unexpectedly discovered that Lu Yu's name also appeared in the top ten in assists, top ten in rebounds, and in the top ten in steals...
