Lu Yu's dunk indeed set off a different kind of storm in Arenas' heart.
A crack slowly appeared like a giant python twisting and turning in the gray fog.
Arenas has never been a team player. He suppresses a monster in his heart that wants to score. This monster has been locked into an iron cage by him with a huge shackle since he came to Arizona.
Now, Lu Yu handed over a key.
Arenas's eyes showed the desire to score. He wanted to beat Lu Yu, not only for the one hundred dollar bet, but also because he wanted to prove himself!
Lu Yu can score as he pleases, and so can I!
Lu Yu can control basketball in his own hands, and so can I!
Lu Yu can turn around and dunk, so can I...I can do it in 2K!
In short, I will do what Lu Yu can do, and I will do what Lu Yu can't do.
teammate?
Haha, do you expect them to score?
The attack just now wasted 35 seconds. In the end, he forced the attack, but Lu Yu was caught off guard and counterattacked.
Maybe they can score next time, but that's not the basketball I want.
Lu Yu's style of play opened a gap in Arenas' heart. This feeling of scoring at will is great. He averages 30 points per game. In the future NBA draft, he will definitely be a high pick, right?
Compared with his own future, the team's victory or defeat suddenly seemed less important.
Right to fire!
Be sure to get the right to fire!
Arenas shouted silently in his heart——
I'll take the shots that my teammates can't make.
If my teammates can't hit the basket, I'll hit it.
I've been there before when my teammates couldn't get past them.
People who cannot be guarded by my teammates... have nothing to do with me.
A seed of wanting to control basketball gradually took root in Arenas' heart.
But Arenas has never been a reckless person. He knew that if he dared to play alone several times in a row like he did in the first round, if nothing unexpected happened, he would be replaced by the coach.
"How can I keep the ball in my own hands?" Arenas frowned.
The Arizona Wildcats seemed to have lost their desire to attack and started to set up their offensive formation a little absent-mindedly. Arenas took a peek at Lu Yu and saw Lu Yu staring at the basketball in his hand. He was shocked and quickly passed the ball.
go out.
It is not suitable to attack when you are thinking about things.
Jefferson received the ball, and Loren Woods immediately ran out from the inside and set up a pick-and-roll. Jefferson rushed in quickly, saw Casey Green and Zach Goode blocking, and passed the ball across.
, Loren Woods, who ran inside after the pick-and-roll, grabbed the ball, shouted, took another step in, raised his hand and threw it towards the basket.
The basketball bounced lightly on the rim twice, but fell out of the rim, causing Jefferson to sigh.
Casey Green reached out and firmly controlled the rebound. Dan Dickau ran over. Casey Green handed him the ball. Dan Dickau took the ball and quickly pushed forward. The Bulldogs players came quickly.
The Wildcats started their offensive momentum in the half.
Lu Yu took the ball and moved to the left. Zach Goode passed him by. After attracting the attention of Arenas and Jefferson, Lu Yu took a step forward and then passed directly with his left hand.
The ball was passed to Zach Goode who was inserted inside. Zach Goode received the ball and did not shoot immediately. Instead, he made a shooting fake. Loren Woods, who was defending in the middle, was tricked into jumping.
A smile flashed in the corner of Zach Goode's eyes, and he lowered his body and passed the ball to Lu Yu, who had slipped to the baseline.
When did Lu Yu run to the bottom corner?
All the Wildcats players were stunned for a moment. It turned out that after Lu Yu passed the ball, Casey Green directly blocked Arenas, and Lu Yu easily ran to the corner where no one noticed.
Catch the ball and shoot.
Without any hesitation, the basketball drew a high arc in the air.
Three points into the basket.
After Lu Yu made the goal, he deliberately walked past Arenas and said, "Oh, my teammates don't have the ability to score, so I have to take action. It's really a painful thing."
Arenas was startled.
Teammates don’t have the ability to score?
Is this the difference between me and Lu Yu?
There seems to be no other scoring teammate around Lu Yu except Dan Dickau. Casey Green is just eating cakes and grabbing rebounds under the basket. Although Dan Dickau has a certain scoring ability, he spends more time using
In organizing the offense.
What about yourself?
Jefferson, Gardner, Wright, and even Woods, a big fool, all want to steal the ball for themselves.
if,
If you really want unlimited fire rights.
Then what he has to do is to destroy the scores of several teammates!
Arenas never thinks that his scoring ability is worse than others. If the team gives him enough firing rights, he is guaranteed to score thirty, forty, or even more points in a game.
Suddenly, he looked at Lu Yu's retreating back.
"He knew it a long time ago, so he deliberately made a bet with me?"
There was a hint of fear in Arenas's eyes, but also a hint of determination: "So what if I see it? After I have unlimited fire rights, will I definitely lose to you?"
He knew that this was Lu Yu's naked conspiracy.
But the temptation shown by Lu Yu forced him to follow the route Lu Yu had set. The reason why he had the courage to go on was all due to his confidence in his own strength.
He firmly believes that his offensive firepower will not lose to Lu Yu!
No,
He is stronger than Lu Yu!
The Wildcats made a quick run.
Gonzaga's five players tightened their defense, and everyone focused on the person they wanted to defend.
The basketball was passed to Arenas. He hesitated slightly before hanging the basketball to center Loren Woods. When Loren Woods got the basketball, the defenders behind him and on both sides were already pressing over.
Lu Yu had roughly guessed what Arenas was thinking the moment he deliberately stopped.
Loren Woods passed the ball to Michael Wright on the wing. Who knew that as soon as Wright got the ball, two defenders appeared in front of him. In addition to Zach Goode who was originally guarding him, there was also a guard watching from the side.
Lu Yu.
Wright immediately passed the ball to Arenas.
Arenas had a smile on his face, but he did not take action. Instead, he chose to break through directly and get to the basket. However, he expected that his opponent could only slow down when assisting in defense. After Lu Yu chased back, he moved the ball out again.
Jason Gardner failed to break through, forced a shot, and missed the basket.
Arenas breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his teammates didn't make the shot. If Gardner had made the shot, his previous actions would have been in vain.
…
Michael Wright's layup was blocked.
…
Loren Woods' hook is a long way too short.
…
Jefferson's back hit was directly intercepted by Lu Yu.
…
The Wildcats' offense stalled for a while, with Arenas "seizing opportunities" to break through from time to time and hitting consecutive shots.
36:29,
In the blink of an eye, the Arizona Wildcats trailed the Gonzaga Bulldogs by seven points.
This was something that no fan would have dared to think about before the game. The atmosphere at the scene reached its peak and the entire stadium was boiling.
Wildcats head coach Jim Roseborough called a timeout.
He looked at the players who were not feeling good and frowned. Team basketball has always been the magic weapon for the team to win, but it failed today.
Except for Arenas, everyone else's shots almost all missed the basket.
"Gilbert, the attack from behind..."
Roseborough hesitated for a moment, then took the tactical board: "Everyone covers Gilbert. If you have a chance, Gilbert attacks. If there is really no chance, you hand the ball to your teammates."
This is what Arenas was waiting for.
Although this privilege may only last one game, it is a good start. If there is one, there are two. The coach will think of him next time he encounters this situation. And this situation, for Arenas,
, there are always opportunities to create.
On the other side, Lu Yu took a big gulp of water.
During this period of time, he kept helping other teammates to defend, which also consumed a lot of his physical strength. When he saw the Wildcats head coach arranging tactics facing Arenas from the corner of his eye, he knew that his plan was probably successful.
Already.
"Coach, how many points has Arenas scored now?" Lu Yu asked.
Mark Four glanced at the technical statistics: "11 points, what's wrong?"
"It's 11 points. I think it's 15 points now. Let's see if you can surpass me." Lu Yu's eyes showed a strong fighting spirit.
When the two teams become teams in which Lu Yu and Arenas each have unlimited firing rights, the suspense of victory or defeat will remain in the competition of the two players' scoring ability.
What Lu Yu didn’t know was that,
Arenas, who originally fell to the second round, will have an impact on next year's draft due to this change.
