In Lu Yu's previous life, Bowen hurt countless people.
Bowen is 2.01 meters tall, which is pretty good among perimeter players. When facing defenders, Bowen will use his height advantage to cover his opponent, limiting his opponent's field of vision. He will first interfere with the opponent's ball on the passing path.
When the opponent does not receive the ball, he will engage in a strong confrontation with the opponent. This confrontation includes body collisions, pushing with arms, and some small movements.
Ray Allen once said: Bowen touched every part of my body.
When you really can't defend yourself, you start to use some underhanded tricks, such as putting your feet under the opponent's feet after the opponent takes off, so that the opponent does not dare to continue to make jump shots unscrupulously.
In Lu Yu's previous life in the NBA, the defensive moves were relatively large, the referees were relatively loose, and the players would make some big moves. Bowen's stepping on the ball was not accidental, but frequent. Carter was one of the victims of Bowen's stepping on the ball.
He was stepped on three times by Bowen. After being stepped on once, he fell to the ground and did not get up for a long time. The second time he was stepped on, Carter's foot was directly twisted at 90 degrees. The third time he was stepped on the foot, Carter was on guard. When his foot was hooked,
, fell to the ground without causing much damage, but this action was still very dangerous, because if Carter did not take precautions, his knee might be injured. Therefore, after Carter got up, he chased Bowen and hit him.
Sent out by the referee.
Lu Yu naturally didn't want to chase Bowen and beat him, let alone be sent out.
When he couldn't think of a solution, Artest unexpectedly came up with a solution once and for all.
He directly carried Bowen out on his feet.
It can only be said that a fool's brain circuit is different from that of a normal person. A fool does things more directly, without so many twists and turns, without being worldly, and hits the opponent's vital points directly.
In this way, no one else in the Spurs team would dare to make such a small move.
They all know that Bowen was retaliated for his petty actions, and the person who retaliated against him was a fool. He was timid and fearful of violence. Those who were violent were afraid of their own lives. Those who were desperate were afraid of being stupid and stupid. This sentence is absolutely wrong.
No.
In the second quarter, the Spurs sent Ginobili with a number of substitutes, of whom only Robinson started.
But when they came on the field, they discovered that the Bulls were crazy or Lu Yu was crazy. Why not let Lu Yu, the core, go down to recover his strength?
Playing with Lu Yu are point guard Trenton Hassell, shooting guard Jamal Crawford, power forward Carlos Boozer, and center Tyson Chandler.
Logically speaking, it is normal to keep two main players, one inside and one outside, on the court. The Spurs also left an admiral on the court to maintain the situation.
But it's rare to put the core of the team on the court all the time, unless... Popovich was secretly happy. He didn't expect the opportunity to come. He originally wanted Bowen to send Lu Yu home, but Bowen failed. Popovich
Vic thought that this round of the series was over and he would never have a chance again.
Unexpectedly, the head coach of the Bulls was not clear-headed and was prepared to control the main players just to be on the safe side. This method of using core players as cattle and horses may be useful for one game, but for a game of the intensity of the finals, it will be difficult for a continuous game.
With four games and a dense schedule, it is a huge burden on the players' physical fitness.
Let’s not talk about other things, let’s just talk about muscle soreness. Under such high intensity, one game every other day, the physical strength can withstand it, but the muscles cannot withstand such a strain.
At this time, the finals were still played every other day, unlike Lu Yu's previous life, which was changed to every other day for the sake of the players' health.
Therefore, the schedule of the finals during this period is more intensive.
Little did Popovich know that the Lu Yu he met was actually a loser. Lu Yu's Thunder Breathing Technique allowed him to ignore the problem of muscle soreness, and the Wind Breathing Technique allowed him to retain sufficient physical strength.
Cartwright replaced Miller to rest, because after gaining weight, Miller's physical strength was obviously not as good as before. Taking a rest can ensure that he is more efficient in the second half.
This lineup is placed on the court with only one purpose, which is to let Lu Yu continue to attack, attack, attack!
After the game started, the Spurs continued to grind their ground and attack, but the Bulls turned to bombardment tactics. As long as the opponent did not score and grabbed rebounds, they would immediately launch a counterattack.
Once the Bulls' backcourt players started running, the Spurs' inside line couldn't fall into position. Before Robinson could run back, the offense was over.
The defender of Lu Yu also became Ginobili, and Lu Yu began to show off his power, scoring consecutive singles against Ginobili.
Ginobili's defense is actually not as bad as imagined.
In Lu Yu's previous life, Ginobili's basic defensive skills were very solid. He defended the shot when he blocked Harden's shot, and his pace and body use before blocking the shot were very good.
He has quick hands, good steals, and good stealth vision.
Thanks to his good jumping, he can occasionally contribute amazing blocks.
The shortcoming is that the confrontation is poor. In 2012, in a game against the Lakers, Kobe Bryant was guarded against his back, and he did not lose his position throughout the game. However, he was hit by Kobe from a long distance, which was a big disadvantage.
Furthermore, his physical strength and his positioning on the court do not support him to engage in dogfights with his opponents throughout the entire process, saving whatever he can on the defensive end.
However, Lu Yu failed to fulfill his wish and would pester him in a war of attrition every round.
Lu Yu's obvious advantage and repeated success in singles made Ginobili realize that the Chinese men's basketball team won the World Championships and it was definitely not due to luck. Even if he was not injured at that time, Argentina might not be able to beat the Chinese men's basketball team.
Four minutes later, Ginobili couldn't bear it anymore and reached out to signal for a defensive substitution. Popovich had no choice but to replace Stephen Jackson.
Although Stephen Jackson was selected by the Suns in the second round of the 1997 NBA draft, there was no guarantee and he was quickly abandoned by the NBA. After that, he played in the Continental Basketball Association for a period of time, and then moved to Australia, Venezuela, Dominica, etc.
He made a living in the domestic league, and after years of experience, he was able to return to the NBA.
In the 2000-01 season, the New Jersey Nets gave him a chance and put him in the starting lineup. But not long after, he was abandoned again.
In the 2001-02 season, in his first year with the San Antonio Spurs, Stephen Jackson did not make the playoff roster, but through unremitting efforts, he became the Spurs' starting shooting guard the following year.
Jackson is a tall guard with a high shooting point and can shoot in front of most wings.
I like to do pull-up three-pointers just because I lack enough explosive power.
The ball control is very high, so he often loses the ball on breakthroughs.
He has good height, but suffers from speed on the defensive end.
The running posture is weird, almost all in small steps.
This is why Popovich is unwilling to send him to defend Lu Yu. Although Jackson's defensive attitude is very positive, his attitude cannot make up for the technical gap.
After Ginobili couldn't stand it, there were not many people left on the team who could guard Lu Yu.
Tony Parker is eager to try.
He had always regarded Lu Yu as his opponent, but Popovich saw that he was half a head shorter than him and thought that if he sent Parker to defend Lu Yu, he would definitely be scolded by the fans.
He could only send Jackson, which had a great impact on Bowen's injured team. He even regretted his idea of letting Bowen do something wrong.
If they had known that the Bulls' head coach would insist on the main force, Bowen would have had a chance as long as he defended regularly.
How did he know that even if Bowen defended regularly, the Spurs still had no chance.
Lu Yu relied on off-ball screens to catch the ball and take shots, widening the point difference to 20 points.
Popovich realized that this was not going to work, so he replaced Ginobili and prepared to flank Lu Yu, but it was too late.
Six minutes later, Miller, who had rested for a while, returned to the field. Chandler moved to the power forward position and replaced Boozer to rest for a while. Miller, who had rested, faced Robinson, who had not rested. The sidelines suddenly changed.
Have to be brutal.
Poor Robinson, who is about to retire, is still being bullied by the big white bear, and can only watch Miller dunk and score.
Then Lu Yu broke through and attracted Robinson and Duncan to come up and pass the ball to Miller. Miller knocked over the rotating Ginobili and dunked with both hands.
Zhang Weiping commented: "The Spurs underestimated Brad Miller too much. After all, Miller is an All-Star player. They didn't even arrange special defensive tactics for Miller. Robinson is old and let him fight against Brad Miller."
Well, you will definitely suffer."
Sun Yiping smiled and said: "But in this way, the Bulls should have no problem winning this game. From a sensory perspective, the Bulls are obviously stronger than the Spurs."
Zhang Weiping nodded: "Actually, judging from the book strength, the gap between the two sides is not big, but Lu Yu has not rested for a minute until now, which has unbalanced the strength of the two sides. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Bowen is injured.
factors, but I think the Bulls head coach still needs to pay attention to Lu Yu’s physical distribution, after all, the finals is not just about one game."
By the time they finished talking, the Bulls entered the second half with a 25-point lead.
In the third quarter, Popovich continued to adjust his lineup, hoping to find a way to restrain the Bulls. Losing the first game was not terrible, but the terrible thing was that he could not find the opponent's loopholes.
What depressed him the most was that Lu Yu still didn't take a break in the third quarter, but continued to stay on the court and take charge of the offense.
This puzzled him. Isn't Lu Yu tired?
The Bulls widened the point difference to 36 points in the third quarter, and the game completely entered garbage time.
In the final quarter, the Bulls' starters all went to rest and replaced with a full bench lineup. The score difference was 36 points. Even if the Bulls couldn't score a single point, it would be enough for the Spurs to score 36 points in a single quarter.
At this time, Popovich had an epiphany.
Damn it, it turns out that Lu Yu is not not resting, but is preparing to clock out in three quarters. The energy consumed in this way is not much more than taking a break in the middle.
Lu Yu was also helpless. He had originally planned to play all four quarters.
Who would have thought that the Spurs would be so careless that they clocked themselves out in the third quarter, but Artest's contribution is indispensable. His kick saved the Bulls a lot of trouble.
The final score was fixed at 112-54, and the Bulls beat the Spurs by 58 points!
In one fell swoop, it set the largest point difference in the history of the finals.
The previous largest point difference in the Finals was in 1998 when the Bulls defeated the Jazz with a 96-54, 42-point lead.
1998 was the third of the Bulls' second three consecutive championships, and it was also the swan song of Jordan's career finals journey. The Bulls finally defeated the Jazz 4:2 to win the championship.
Although the score difference between the two sides was less than 5 points in 5 of the 6 games, in the third game, the two sides created the largest score difference in the NBA Finals history, which was 42 points.
And Lu Yu triggered the butterfly effect, making the Bulls, who were originally weak, become the league's top team.
In G1 of the Finals, against the Spurs, he directly defeated the Spurs by 58 points, which is known in history as the "58 Tragedy"!
At the post-game press conference, the Spurs' head coach and players had dark faces throughout.
Lu Yu didn't expect such a coincidence, 58 points!
Originally it was Paul's joke, but now it may be the idiot's turn. 58 Daidai is not as pleasant to listen to as 58 Pao. Maybe it's because of my listening habits in my previous life.
Maybe after hearing the name 58 Daidai for a long time, I will get used to it.
