Regardless of his aging body, Xu Jicheng roared loudly in the commentary box. The white hair on his head that usually looked quite smooth stood on end with excitement, which also made Sun Yiping beside him look sideways.
He has been thinking about whether Xu Jicheng's body has a heart disease or something, and whether he has any problems at ordinary times. He has been so excited from the beginning to now. If he is in a bad state, he may collapse... It doesn't matter to him, he can't cause me to collapse.
Is it easy to work in a sports channel for so many years...
Xu Jicheng didn't know what Sun Yiping was thinking about. He kept looking at the field with bright eyes, especially Lu Yu's performance.
"Lu Yu's move just now was so beautiful. With a simple fake move, he shook the experienced Malone up, and used his body to catch it and made a foul... The most important thing is that the ball went in. It was so beautiful.
!”
Seeing Lu Yu successfully hit a three-pointer again, several women in the stands jumped up with excitement, Scarlett almost jumped up and down, and Jessica also gave up her reserve long ago and kept shouting
Cheer Lu Yu, their courage to stand in the crowd of Lakers fans and cheer for the Bulls, and their own charm have quickly become a beautiful scenery in the Zijin Arena.
TV cameras also glanced at them from time to time, and every time their scenes appeared, they would attract the attention of countless fans.
The main reason is that they are so beautiful. The Staples Center in Los Angeles never lacks big stars and beauties as spectators, but so many beauties coming at one time is really a bit beyond the expectations of Lakers boss Buss.
Especially when he knew that these beauties were all fans of Lu Yu, he wished that Lu Yu could be his player.
Without Lu Yu playing ball, just letting him attract these beauties is enough to sell tickets, okay?
Lu Yu didn't have time to care about what others said about him now. He didn't even have the heart to look at his girlfriends on the stage. He only had eyes for the orange basketball and his teammates around him!
He made the free throw steadily. He breathed a sigh of relief. This point not only allowed him to score in double figures personally, but also expanded the Bulls' lead to double digits again.
"Guard him, stick to him!"
Phil Jackson yelled loudly at Malone and others from the sidelines, and then sighed after he finished yelling.
How can I say that they didn't take precautions!
Today, Malone and Fox have been guarding Lu Yu. Lu Yu doesn't even have many chances to make a shot, let alone a good chance. But every time when he needs to score the most, Lu Yu can pass and create a good chance for him.
He cut his throat with a knife to remind people not to forget his existence.
Today Lu Yu's defense target is O'Neal.
No one expected that Lu Yu would dare to defend O'Neal alone on the inside.
You must know that O'Neal is 216cm tall and weighs more than 300 pounds. But when Lu Yu stood next to O'Neal, everyone suddenly discovered that Lu Yu seemed to be 210cm tall. As for the weight, Lu Yu looked thinner, but
There is power too.
Lu Yu has been very diligent in defending. He tried to defend O'Neal several times in the third game. O'Neal's recent scores are not as high as in the previous two games. On the one hand, this is because the Lakers have adjusted their tactics and other teammates have been active.
His scoring has naturally dropped, but one of the reasons why Lu Yu is so good at defense is also one of the reasons.
Lu Yu is no longer the skinny shooting guard he once was.
He can resist men with iron elbows like Malone in the paint, and he can also defend O'Neal in the paint.
Many people suddenly realized that perhaps this year's Defensive Player of the Year should go to Lu Yu. Of course, Lu Yu didn't defend O'Neal particularly well, and was about the same as Miller, but even so, it was enough to frustrate O'Neal.
Lu Yu is so beautiful at both ends of the offense and defense, which makes many people marvel that Jordan can't play from one to five.
Although Lu Yu still does not hold the title of scoring champion this season, compared with every scoring champion, Lu Yu is much better, isn't he?
When O'Neal took the ball, Lu Yu was already behind him.
After a feint, Lu Yu didn't move, and then again, Lu Yu jumped up. O'Neal was so happy that he dribbled the ball and squeezed to the basket. He found that he had never been so disgusted with a person.
Why is Lu Yu sticking to himself like a plaster? He hasn't performed well in several games.
"Wow, Lu Yu's reaction was so fast!" This was the sigh shared by Xu Jicheng and commentators around the world.
Obviously everyone saw that Lu Yu had been shaken up, but as soon as the camera turned to this side, he had already chased to the basket. O'Neal was slower than him and had no way to deal with him.
O'Neal originally wanted to compete with Lu Yu in the paint, but when he thought about how many times they had collided with each other, he didn't seem to have taken any advantage, so he passed the ball out.
Payton originally wanted to pass the ball to Kobe, but Artest, who was guarding Kobe, didn't look at the ball at all. He just looked at Kobe's body, but his big butt was standing exactly where the ball was passed. Payton had no choice but to watch.
After checking the time on the basket, Richardson, who was defending in front of him, seemed to be trying to pull back to cover Malone, and immediately took off and shot.
But he still didn't estimate the height difference between Richardson and him. Richardson rushed forward with his hands raised high. Although he didn't really cover him, it almost put him between his eyes and the basket.
His line of sight was completely blocked. Anyway, when the ball was released, he subconsciously threw the ball a little higher than usual. This was because of his experience, and he easily avoided Richardson's big hand and flew to the basket, but he still
Affected by the high throw, the ball hit the inside of the basket and bounced high.
O'Neal moved his hands back hard with his butt and back to resist Lu Yu behind him. He watched the ball rising eagerly. As soon as the ball dropped, he jumped up and grabbed the ball. He and Lu Yu were stuck.
It's not easy either. Lu Yu's iron elbow is comparable to Malone in his youth. O'Neal thought to himself, don't waste the opportunity you worked so hard to get.
The ball finally fell, and he couldn't help but chuckle when he took off. This would be his third offensive rebound, but... Damn it, why couldn't he jump!
He only felt a big mountain pressing on his back, and he knew who it was without even thinking!
He wanted to wait for the ball to drop slightly before grabbing the rebound, but Lu Yu had already jumped when the ball had just reached the top, and it was too late for O'Neal to jump again.
No, in the next attack, Richardson just took two steps and handed the ball to Lu Yu. This was not a very good opportunity, but Lu Yu used his back and footwork to turn around with elasticity.
Small hook, two points.
Not bad, not bad. Cartwright nodded secretly on the sidelines. After a season of polishing, Lu Yu's inside skills have improved a lot compared to the beginning of the season.
Although this kind of footwork is not too easy to complete, it is still much better than before.
O'Neal immediately faced Lu Yu's defense and hit an identical hook.
Helped the Lakers get two points back.
Lu Yu caught the ball and immediately passed it out. Soon the ball came back to his hands, and he immediately went out again without stopping for a moment. He looked at Malone and Fox running back and forth, and suddenly thought of how they used to be pretty good in China.
A popular song: You are too tired, it’s time to take a rest...
Seeing that there was no chance, Richardson immediately passed the ball to Hamilton who ran out of the space.
Hamilton understood that the ball was up to him. Hamilton caught the ball, turned around and prepared to shoot.
"Richard!" Lu Yu quickly reminded!
Hamilton didn't see the situation behind him, but he heard Lu Yu's voice. Although he didn't understand why Lu Yu called him, his intuition and tacit understanding made him subconsciously glance back, and he happened to see Kobe with a cold face. Kobe's
His hand is so close to his own.
He was about to cover his hat behind him.
He quickly hit the ball again and handed it back to Lu Yu, who had switched positions and ran to this side. Kobe had no choice but to move to Hamilton again. Hamilton did not take action rashly because he saw that Lu Yu was still there.
Stay in that three-second zone.
He immediately passed the ball to Lu Yu on the inside again. After Lu Yu took the ball, he suddenly feinted. Then, regardless of whether the opponent was deceived by his feint, he immediately made another half-hook... This
The second ball didn't go in. I was a little too strong and got stuck between the backboard and the rim and took a rest for a while.
Just as everyone was laughing for this rare ball, the Lakers players rushed to the referee in a normal manner. Even the commentator on the broadcast did not know what happened to make the Lakers players so excited.
, even Kobe is frowning.
"Maybe the referee gave the ball to the Bulls, or called a scrimmage. You know, this kind of ball should be awarded directly to the Lakers... Well, that may be the case. The camera was resting just now.
Close-up of the ball, we don’t know what happened!”
Soon they knew it. The NBA sent a slow motion. Just when Lu Yu was shooting, the referee next to him blew the whistle for Malone's foul.
Xu Jicheng didn't guess correctly, and felt that his face was not shining. At this time, the referee couldn't stand being surrounded by Lakers players, so he directly gave a technical foul to Malone, who was the most aggressive. Lu Yu walked to the free throw line and made an easy free throw.
middle.
Payton pulled all his teammates away, and Jackson immediately asked for a timeout to let the players calm down. He also had to do some ideological work, otherwise this already very unfavorable game would basically be over.
"Good job, guys!"
This was Cartwright's first words to greet the players, and it was also the first time in recent games that he praised his players. This also boosted everyone's morale: "If we continue at this pace, our current lead is
Ten points later, the opponent will definitely rush forward in a mournful manner, and the referee may also look for a whistle to balance, but everyone must not panic and be anxious. You know, it doesn't matter if they are overtaken by a few points, but don't be chaotic.
We're on our last legs!"
Seeing Cartwright strategizing, everyone felt more confident and nodded heavily.
"The next step is your free throw. Are you confident that you can make it?" Cartwright looked at Lu Yu seriously.
Although he knew that Lu Yu's free throw shooting percentage was very high.
But every point in this game is crucial.
"Of course, my free throws are not as bad as O'Neal, you have to believe me."
"Of course I believe you."
Cartwright smiled: "Okay, let's go up and beat the shit out of our opponents!"
Xu Jicheng happened to see Crawford and Boozer through the camera at this time. The two sat back on the bench together. Boozer's eyes flashed with fighting spirit, while Crawford was a little distracted.
"Neither of them got a chance to play today. It seems that Cartwright did not dare to be careless when facing such a life-and-death battle. He has always let his most trusted players play together... But Miller's physical strength is probably not enough.
, it’s time for them to take turns, the stalemate lasted too long today, and everyone is not used to it."
Cartwright couldn't hear Xu Jicheng's words, but he knew that the defensive intensity in this game was the highest among the last six games, and Boozer and Crawford were both offensive masters.
Rotation is because he didn't dare to take risks at critical moments.
Lu Yu made a free throw and hit it steadily.
The two sides fought back and forth, watching the score rise alternately.
Cartwright was already staring at the timer, feeling depressed as to why the timer was running so slowly today and the third quarter was still not over.
Now he couldn't wait to finish the trip as soon as possible.
It's best to do it in the last minute of the fourth quarter, so that the Bulls, who hold a more than ten-point lead, can win.
This is probably the most difficult game of Cartwright's career.
O'Neal is old and ambitious, he wants to win this game.
He knew that he had gone downhill, otherwise it would be impossible to defeat Lu Yu, a rookie inside man. Sometimes he clearly felt that Lu Yu's defense was not good, but Lu Yu could rely on his strong physical fitness to defend him.
This made him very helpless.
He was proud of his strength and confrontation, but he didn't take any advantage when he collided with Lu Yu.
For a power center who dominates the interior of the league, this is simply a disgrace and abomination. You must know that Lu Yu only started to play power forward this year. It was not until the finals that he began to slowly try to defend the center.
The most important thing is that the one who comes up to defend is O'Neal, the league's top center.
Because Miller often gets knocked away the first time he defends, Lu Yu sometimes has no time to attack from the flank, so Lu Yu simply defends, which can at least resist the first attack, leaving enough time for Miller's flank attack.
This made O'Neal very uncomfortable.
"drop!"
The referee blew the foul whistle.
Miller committed a hand-holding foul during a double attack.
Miller raised his hand helplessly and gave Lu Yu a wry, apologetic smile. Lu Yu waved his hand, indicating that it didn't matter. Fouling O'Neal was inevitable.
What's more, O'Neal may not be able to score free throws.
O'Neal stood on the free throw line, mumbling and didn't know what to say, but just as Lu Yu came over to get ready, he listened and almost didn't laugh out loud.
O'Neal said this: "God, you know that I am your devout believer. How is your health recently? Oh, by the way, are you feeling lonely? Well, for the sake of our many years of friendship, I will help you."
Find some girls to accompany you, definitely the ones above 36d...
As long as you can help me make these two free throws, I'll do it for you immediately!"
