Chapter 335 Nonsense, of course, because Lu Yu is too strong!
The Spanish head coach made a gesture and Navarro nodded. He knew that the head coach asked him to keep an eye on Lu Yu.
Although he is much shorter than Lu Yu, he believes that as long as he bites Lu Yu like a mad dog.
Not letting him catch the ball and not letting him take easy shots will lower his shooting percentage.
It became difficult for Lu Yu to catch the ball.
The main reason is that the passing level of the guards of the Chinese men's basketball team is really poor.
Lu Yu was also helpless. There was nothing he could do about it unless he played point guard.
The Chinese team's lead began to shrink. Fortunately, Lu Yu, Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming were on the court at the same time. Although Lu Yu received the ball several times and missed the shot, the two big men Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi ensured a second attack under the basket.
In the end, Lu Yu simply stopped taking action and concentrated on passing the ball after receiving the ball.
Although he is not a point guard, he does the job of a point guard.
His passing is not as hesitant as Liu Wei. Every pass can be handed over to the most appropriate player at the most appropriate time. Zhu Fangyu likes to partner with Lu Yu the most. As long as he can run out of space, Lu Yu can always
Pass the ball to his hands, and he only needs to be responsible for shooting the ball.
At the end of the third quarter, Spain was only three points behind at 63:66.
The Chinese men's basketball team still underestimated the strength of the Spanish team. Their victory in the World Championships really made them think they could clock out in three quarters.
And this battle made them clearly realize that when the Chinese men's basketball team faces strong European teams, it is a 50-50 situation.
Wang Fei was also stunned for a moment, no longer as relaxed as he was at the beginning.
Only then did he realize that this was where Harris was worried, and he couldn't help but blush because he was too arrogant.
Although the Chinese team is temporarily ahead of Spain in the score, it is obvious that Spain is very strong and they are not panic at all about falling behind by this point.
As soon as the fourth quarter started, Spain showed their fangs.
Gasol kept moving to the high post, forcing Yao Ming to leave the inside. As a result, Liu Wei's defense was useless to Navarro. Navarro accelerated and passed Liu Wei in one step, and easily scored a layup.
All the Spanish fans excitedly sang their national anthem!
They felt that they must have won because the Chinese team could not guard against their attack!
Only Ginobili, who was sitting in the audience, frowned slightly, "Spain is really going to lose this time..."
His teammate Scola was startled, "Spain is clearly on the rise, how come they lose?"
Ginobili shook his head: "This is because you have never played against the Chinese team's No. 10. You don't know that this is not the style of play he is good at. The Chinese team's head coach Harris is also an NBA-level coach.
Lu Yu's talent will not be wasted, so there is only one possibility - they have a trump card."
"The Spanish team is also hiding. They have not attacked the defense of the Chinese team's point guard several times since the beginning. Now their Navarro has begun to break through continuously." Scola retorted.
Ginobili's eyes became profound: "When two teams have a trump card, the one exposed first will be the loser."
What he said is correct.
At this time, Harris, who was standing off the court, requested a substitution. Liu Wei was replaced by Li Nan, and Harris made a strange gesture.
The five players on the court are Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, Zhu Fangyu, Li Nan, and Lu Yu.
It was Lu Yu who controlled the ball.
Lu Yu dribbled the ball, but Calderon did not come up to defend, so Navarro continued to defend.
At this time, Yao Ming suddenly came up with a pick-and-roll, and Lu Yu accelerated his breakthrough.
Gasol and Navarro's eyes collided instantly, and they immediately made a decision not to change!
Because he was close to the three-point line, they bet that Yao Ming's shooting percentage would not be high.
Navarro bypassed the defense, and Lu Yu passed the ball behind the back to Yao Ming. Gasol stretched out his hand to interfere with Yao Ming's shot. Even if the hit rate was not high, he could not let Yao Ming go.
Yao Ming flicked his hand and the basketball flew directly to the basket.
Gasol was startled, and quickly looked back, only to see Lu Yu leaping high, catching the ball in the air and slamming it in with one hand!
The entire Chinese fans were excited. Such a dunk was actually done by a Chinese defender!
What about Navarro?
Only then did Gasol realize that Navarro was blocked behind Wang Zhizhi.
Double cover?
This is a typical double cover tactic, but this tactic doesn't look like a trump card.
Then he realized that he was wrong, and this was indeed a trump card.
In the next round, he originally planned for Yao Ming to move to the high post. He let Yao Ming stay farther away and still guarded the inside. However, Lu Yu did not pass back to Yao Ming this time. Instead, he paused at the elbow area and waited for Yao Ming to cut in and hit.
Passed the ball to Yao Ming.
Gasol tried to make up for it, but found himself stuck by Wang Zhizhi!
Letting Yao Ming shoot from this distance from the free throw line is simply giving away points, right?
Spain's defense completely collapsed and they played a whole game. Unexpectedly, the Chinese team's trump card in the end was the pick-and-roll between Lu Yu and Yao Ming.
Well, there was also a pick-and-roll with Wang Zhizhi!
Generally speaking, it is the pick-and-roll between Lu Yu and the inside players!
The Spanish coach immediately called a timeout and switched to zone defense. Unfortunately, it was useless. For Lu Yu, zone defense was simply shooting training. He could only expand the defensive area. Once it expanded to the defensive area, he could play pick-and-roll again.
Even if Jin Jin tried his best to block the cooperation between Lu Yu, Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming, the two big men Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi still have one hand to pass the ball, and the two sharp knives of Zhu Fangyu and Li Nan are waiting to take action on the outside at any time.
The Spanish team can only attack now!
There are only two ways to win the game, one is to let the opponent score less points, the other is to score more points than the opponent.
Since you can't do the first one, you can only choose the second one.
The Spanish team began to counterattack. To be honest, the Chinese team didn't have many ways to deal with the Spanish team's offense. After all, the defense of the small forward and shooting guard was the weak point at this time, and Spain had been seizing on these two points to attack crazily.
.
With only the last thirty seconds left in the fourth quarter, the Chinese team only led by three points.
The Spanish team called a timeout.
Harris said to the players: "We cannot let our opponents shoot three-pointers and have the opportunity to drag the game into overtime, guard outside shooters, consume game time, and finally let them go in. After they score, they will definitely choose foul tactics.
Our players on the court are all accurate in free throws, so don’t worry about that!”
He is not worried about free throws, Lu Yu is worried... This is an international competition, and free throws are useless in normal times. If a free throw is missed and the opponent scores again, it will go into overtime. If both free throws are missed, there is no guarantee.
will lose the game.
After the Spanish team came on the field, they indeed tried to find a three-point shot opportunity at first, but the Chinese team blocked the outside very tightly. Seeing that the time was only 9 seconds, Navarro suddenly saw Gasol stuck in position.
A through pass put the ball into Gasol's hands.
"coming!"
Lu Yu knew that Gasol was going to hit hard, but he didn't dare to go over and attack because he was afraid that if Gasol passed out, Navarro would really make the shot, which would be the most cheating thing.
We can only look at Yao Ming’s defense!
Gasol dribbled the ball twice and then turned around. Yao Ming immediately pounced on him. Seeing that Gasol had no chance, he could only reluctantly take the shot.
The basketball stumbled on the basket and finally luckily fell into the basket.
87:86,
The Chinese team is only leading by one point and there are only 8 seconds left!
"..." Lu Yu was speechless. Yao Ming's defense was already very good, but he didn't expect Gasol to have better luck.
Harris suddenly called a timeout!
Sun Yiping was startled, "Coach Harris chose to time out? Wouldn't it be more of a waste of the opponent's time to serve directly at this time? Maybe Coach Harris has other concerns."
Should I call a timeout at this time?
If the ball is served from the backcourt without calling a timeout, the opponent will probably foul directly. However, Harris understands that Chinese players are most afraid of a full-court press. If they are intercepted under the opponent's basket, they will make fatal mistakes.
The most critical point is that he is worried about Yao Ming and Lu Yu's physical strength. If they are not physical enough at this time, it will affect the accuracy of free throws.
So Harris chose to call a timeout.
Yao Ming was breathing heavily. He only rested for a while in the second quarter of this game. Like him, there was Lu Yu. The two of them were the players who played the longest time on the team, and they were also the most tired of everyone.
of.
This timeout is to arrange the sideline ball tactics and also to give them time to breathe.
"It was my fault for the defense just now..." Yao Ming took a sip of water and apologized to his teammates.
"You've done a good job of guarding against him." Lu Yu patted him on the shoulder.
"Yeah, Dayao, it's Gasol's good luck. It's not like you don't know about his shooting. He often falls in due to his soft wrist." Wang Zhizhi also expressed relief.
Harris came over.
He holds a tactical board in his hand and has a solemn look on his face. Serving the ball from the sideline is crucial. Once a mistake is made, the opponent will not need to foul, and may even directly overtake the score.
This kind of cheating thing has never happened before!
In fact, after playing like this with Spain, Harris expected that the Chinese men's basketball team had many NBA-level players, but except for Lu Yu, the others were only at the normal rotation level, and players of this level, Spain also
Not without.
At this point in the game, the Chinese team was still leading by one point.
The opportunity to win is right in front of you, whoever fails to seize it is the bastard!
"Everyone, come here, let me lay out the sideline ball tactics..." Harris called all the players together: "Actually, there is nothing to arrange. The opponent is likely to adopt foul tactics. What we want to prevent is mistakes in the sideline ball, resulting in
The opponent scores directly. This is what I am most worried about when calling this timeout, because once this happens, the timeout I call will be stigmatized as incompetent! Because when I call this timeout, I actually give the opponent time to set up defense.
But I think the opponent may have already made arrangements in the last timeout to press the whole court as soon as the score is scored. At that time, we will be caught off guard, so I chose to call this timeout, which seemed a bit retarded... Continue
Come down here and let me lay out the tactics..."
The tactics are conventional sideline ball tactics.
It depends on the players to deliver the ball steadily, preferably to the hands of Lu Yu or Yao Ming.
Fortunately, this time the Chinese men's basketball team did not lose to the opponent like Lu Yu did against Poland in his previous life.
First, Yao Ming received the ball and was fouled.
Made both free throws.
Spain struggled to score a goal and get two points.
The Chinese team served, Lu Yu received the ball and was fouled again.
Continue to hit two free throws.
After Lu Yu made the free throw, there were only 0.7 seconds left in the game. The Spanish team had no timeout and could only serve the baseline ball. In the end, it had to throw it directly from the backcourt.
Three non-sticks.
The Chinese men's basketball team won the game!
After the game, Lu Yu accepted an interview with reporters.
"I'm happy to get a good start, it's a good start for us."
The reporter asked: "Do you think the Chinese men's basketball team has any advantage over Spanish and European and American teams?"
Lu Yu thought for a while and said: "Many people think that because we have won the World Championship, we must be the world's top team, but in fact we are just a new team that has just emerged in the world of basketball. European teams have decades of experience
Precipitation, this is something we can’t keep up with. All we have to do is play every game well, that’s all.”
Lu Yu said it very cryptically.
In fact, in terms of player strength alone, the Chinese men's basketball team is even inferior to the strong European teams. What they now rely on is nothing more than Lu Yu's personal ability.
The reason why the World Championships can be won so easily is that firstly, it takes advantage of the schedule, secondly, many teams do not field their strongest lineups, and thirdly, because other teams have more or less injuries, and the Chinese men’s basketball team
However, we played with full strength until the end of the game.
However, the current strength of the Chinese men's basketball team is definitely much stronger than that of Lu Yu's previous life.
It's not just Lu Yu.
Wang Zhizhi also found confidence in the NBA, and Yi Jianlian also took a different path.
This Chinese men's basketball team has a bright future.
After the game, Lu Yu returned to his accommodation, and the chef came over and asked him what he wanted to eat for dinner. Lu Yu didn't care and let him look at the arrangements.
After eating, Lu Yu suddenly received a call from Snoopy.
"That old guy Klaus has already taken care of it. Do you want to follow up on the news?"
Lu Yu thought for a while: "Follow me."
The news he wanted to break was not the news that Krause was fired, but the news that Lu Yu would be traded to the Western Conference.
As soon as the news came out, the fans exploded.
Many fans don't understand that the conflict between Lu Yu and Klaus is well known, but now the team has changed owners and Klaus has been fired. It stands to reason that the Bulls are already the most suitable team for Lu Yu, and the Bulls
You must keep Lu Yu, right?
But the Bulls fired Krause and did not keep Lu Yu.
What is this operation?
When "Sport" magazine published an exclusive interview with Lu Yu, fans suddenly understood why Lu Yu was going to the West.
But they still can't figure it out,
It's one thing for Lu Yu to want to go to the West. What's wrong with the new owner of the Bulls? How could he agree to such a thing?
You know, as long as the Bulls are willing, Lu Yu can't go to other teams no matter what.
Even NBA Commissioner David Stern doesn't understand, but he does know that Lu Yu's arrival in the West is beneficial to the overall interests of the entire league.
Lu Yu's arrival in the West will lead to more struggles between superstars in the West.
In the Eastern Conference, although the Bulls' strength will be reduced due to this deal, their lineup will never be weak, and the Bulls will not be the only one in the Eastern Conference.
The Eastern Conference games in the past two years have really not received much viewership.
Why?
Nonsense, of course it’s because Lu Yu is too strong!
David Stern only has one worry now, that is, Lu Yu goes to the West, so don’t let the ratings of the West drop down too!
