Human experience is limited, so human cognitive level is also limited.
If it were Lu Yu in his previous life, he would definitely tell himself that he was already locked into the top eight in the Olympics, so why would he still play in the next two group matches?
The main thing is definitely to maintain physical strength.
Strive for medals.
But now Lu Yu is at the top of the world basketball world.
Lu Yu's vision has changed, especially after playing with so many European and American teams. Lu Yu does have a lot of feelings. He wants to give some suggestions to the Basketball Association, but he knows that these suggestions may not be seen by the leaders, and they may not be seen by the leaders.
It will be pushed, and even if it is pushed, it may not be possible... No matter what, Lu Yu wants to give it a try on his own.
European teams didn't actually have much power a few decades ago, but why have their strengths improved so much?
The most important thing is that they play a lot of high-level games.
After playing hard, they found that they had become a strong team, so they began to challenge the American teams. The American teams were almost as strong as the European teams, so they set their sights on the United States again.
This is the secret to the rise of European and American basketball.
They don't even bother to play games with Asian teams. Even if they are sent, they are basically the second team, because only their second team can have some training value by playing with the first team of Asian teams.
We talked too much about the combination of physical education and education, and talked too much about the level of youth training.
Of course, these are not useless, but no matter how powerful a teenager is, if you don't have enough experience in high-level competitions at various stages of your growth, you will eventually fall into obscurity.
Lu Yu liked Guangdong University of Technology in his previous life. The reason why Guangdong University of Technology is so good must be said is the influence of the local wild football culture on the team.
Why are Yao Ming and Arab League so awesome?
If they didn't go to the NBA, they definitely wouldn't be at this level.
Why is Neon's football so good? Because their players play for European clubs.
It takes time to establish a sound basketball youth training system and a complete basketball league system.
Chinese basketball has been clamoring for many years, and Lu Yu has heard too many voices of all kinds, especially the integration of sports and education, which has been talked about for too long.
For Chinese basketball, the most realistic problem is that players are too comfortable.
Now that he has reached the quarterfinals, Lu Yu doesn't want the players to feel comfortable. He wants more players to compete against strong European teams, because this kind of training opportunity is rare.
Lu Yu and Harris reached consensus on this point.
Harris is only the head coach, while Lu Yu represents a generation of Chinese players. Although he does not agree with this approach, he would not have achieved this result without Lu Yu.
Moreover, from the bottom of his heart, he agreed with Lu Yu's thoughts.
So the two finally reached some kind of unknown deal.
Then the two began to discuss tactics to deal with Italy.
"Since they like to shoot three-pointers, we don't let them shoot, so we let them shoot inside." Lu Yu said with a smile.
"You mean, if you bite the shooter outside the three-point line, do you want to shoot?" Harris was stunned.
"Yes, maybe they can score at the beginning, but as they play they will find that they are not used to it, because this is not their usual playing style..." Lu Yu said with a smile: "But we have to protect the rebounds and be ready to play at any time.
Fight back.”
Harris frowned: "You are taking a risk. The American team's style of play is not suitable for the Chinese team!"
The American team Harris is talking about is not the current American team, but the legendary Dream Team.
"No, this is different from the Dream Team's style of play." Lu Yu shook his head: "In terms of personal ability, our players do not have the singles ability of the American players, and the American team's instinctive reaction is to block the opponent's outside line.
They will not let their opponents have a chance to score even if they are in the paint. We are different. We have expanded our defense and will inevitably lose some points in the paint..."
"It's too risky, I don't agree." Harris refused: "This style of play is equivalent to giving the opponent inside points."
"But you don't care about winning or losing the game anymore, right?" Lu Yu said sharply.
"..." Harris.
"Since you no longer care about winning or losing, why give it a try?" Lu Yu continued.
Harris shrugged helplessly. He had just argued with Lu Yu about tactics, but he had forgotten that he had no intention of winning the game.
"And I don't plan to let go of the inside defense all the time." Lu Yu smiled.
"Huh? What are you going to do?" Harris suddenly felt that Lu Yu was more like a team coach, but he could also see Lu Yu's unique character from Lu Yu's tactical arrangements.
Lu Yu is a person who likes to take the wrong approach. He commented on Lu Yu in this way.
To put it bluntly, he just likes to set traps for others, and one set of tricks follows another, and even talking makes you fall into his trap without knowing it. Just like now, after going around for a long time, Harris, no matter how stupid he is, now understands that Lu
What was left was his words.
"I hope you can give me some on-the-spot command rights. When I change my tactics, don't call a timeout to replace me..." Lu Yu finally said the purpose of his visit.
He wants to teach these national team teammates how to play.
He was afraid of Harris, a stubborn old man. He could command his teammates, but if Harris got angry and replaced him just after he finished commanding, his work would be in vain.
So he talked to Harris so much in order to get Harris to give him certain authority and explain things clearly before the game.
Harris thought for a long time, tapping his fingers on the table, and finally said helplessly: "Okay, I promise you."
…
On August 21, the men’s basketball group stage of the Athens Olympic Games will continue.
Before the Chinese men's basketball team came on stage, Spain defeated Serbia and Montenegro as expected, and Argentina also easily defeated New Zealand.
In this case, Spain became the first team besides the Chinese team to win three games, while New Zealand, Serbia and Montenegro had the same record of one win and three losses.
New Zealand is out of luck. Their next opponent is Spain, and they are basically guaranteed to be eliminated.
The players from Serbia and Montenegro did not leave the court after the game. They set their sights on the Chinese men's basketball team on the field. As long as the Chinese men's basketball team can beat Italy,
Since Serbia and Montenegro defeated Italy before, Serbia and Montenegro will also advance.
The premise is that the Chinese team wants to win!
Therefore, all their players stayed on the court to watch the Chinese team's game. They were also afraid that the Chinese team would lose the game.
If the Chinese team loses, they must beat China in the next game before they can appear.
But how can it be so easy for the Chinese team to win?
So as long as the Chinese team wins this Italian game, even if they lose to the Chinese team in the next game, they can still appear due to the winning-losing relationship with Italy.
Now the Serbian and Montenegro teams are eager to give gifts to the Chinese team, so that the Chinese team must not let go.
The Chinese team faces the penultimate opponent of the group, the Italian team!
In fact, the Chinese team defeated Italy in the 2000 Sydney Olympics. They were able to beat Italy because the Chinese men's basketball team that year was really strong.
It's a pity that the Chinese men's basketball team did not advance out of the group at the Sydney Olympics.
In the Sydney Olympics, the Chinese men's basketball team was reversed by France and unfortunately lost the game. France eventually won the Olympic runner-up. However, China defeated New Zealand and Italy and narrowly lost to third-place Lithuania. Unfortunately, in the end, the group failed to qualify due to the difference between victory and defeat.
If it hadn't been for the comeback by France, it is estimated that the Chinese men's basketball team would have achieved a historic breakthrough that year, and might have had a chance to enter the semi-finals.
Of course, today's teammates generally don't mention this matter. If they mention it, it will embarrass Guo Shiqiang...
Lu Yu felt that Italy could beat Italy at the Sydney Olympics, so why should they give up now? You must know that the Italian team at the Sydney Olympics just won the Champions League, and the current team relies on their convulsive shooter-Barcelona.
.
The Chinese team's lineup is Liu Wei, Lu Yu, Zhu Fangyu, Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming.
The only change in the lineup is that Zhu Fangyu replaced Li Nan, because Zhu Fangyu's defensive ability on the wing is better.
It was also because Lu Yu wanted to train Zhu Fangyu out.
At the beginning of the game, Italy scored six points in a row. They also wanted to avoid the humiliation of losing to the Chinese team in 2000. The attack was very fierce. After discovering that the Chinese men's basketball team's defense outside the three-point line was almost offensive, they
Decisively chose to break through.
Due to the difference in physical fitness, the Chinese men's basketball team is obviously a beat slower when it comes to defensive breakthroughs.
At the most critical moment, the Chinese team, which usually rotates defense to compete with European and American teams, actually gave up the rotation at this time. As long as Italy can break in, they will never switch defense...
All the Italian fans present applauded excitedly. Even the coaches and players of the Italian team on the field did not realize that this was a trap set by Lu Yu. They were just thinking,
This Chinese men’s basketball team…
Doesn't it look good?
There were three tall, dark-skinned men sitting in the last row of the stands. If anyone could see their faces through the wide-brimmed hats held low on their heads, their faces would be very familiar to everyone.
"LeBron, the Chinese team's defensive level is not very good. If this continues, I'm afraid they will lose..." Carmelo Anthony said with a smile.
LeBron James bit his fingernails and said: "You have played against Lu for so long and have you ever beaten him once? Dwyane only won one game by chance last season. He must be setting a trap for the Italian team."
"Yes, he is the mvp!" Wade agreed.
After a while, the Italian team fell into constant singles. The first reaction of whoever got the ball was no longer to pass the ball, run, cut and shoot. Because they were exhausted from running, the opponent did not give them a chance to shoot from the outside. Instead, they
It is easier to score breakthroughs.
The main players of the team chose to play singles one after another. When the coach saw that this way of scoring was more efficient, he did not call a timeout, but chose to acquiesce to this style of play.
James Anthony and Wade looked at each other, with a smile in their eyes that had seen through everything.
Although it became easier for Italy to score, the score did not open up. The Chinese team kept clinging to the score.
Lu Yu did not play hard. After the start, he passed the ball more to Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi. For Yao Ming, as long as the opponent does not flank him, he has the ability to put the ball into the basket. Wang Zhizhi even likes to play with Lu Yu.
With Yu's cooperation, he naturally knows when to shoot and when to pass after receiving the ball from Lu Yu.
The Italian team originally thought that they could use a wave of attacks to completely open up the score. Who knew that after playing for such a long time, the score difference was not even five points.
After the halftime break, the Italian team still didn't notice the abnormality. They thought that the Chinese team must understand the power of Italy's three-pointers, so they thought they could win the game by guarding the outside. However, the Chinese team's defensive ability seemed to be too poor.
This allowed the Italian team to show their breakthrough ability that they had never shown before.
Although the Italian head coach is a little confused, the situation of the game is here. If the Chinese team had not relied on Yao Ming's offensive ability in the interior, the score would have been opened long ago.
As for No. 10 Lu Yu?
After the last game against Argentina, there was news that he was exhausted. Now it seems that he was affected and his performance in the first half was not outstanding.
The third quarter begins.
After just a few minutes of playing, the three people in the stands started chatting again.
"I guess Lu Yu is going to start closing the net." James narrowed his eyes.
"Hey, poor Italian team." Anthony glanced sympathetically at the Italian team, who were playing very hard on the court.
Wade rolled his eyes at him: "We were all psychologically affected by him last season. You should have more sympathy for yourself..."
During this period, the Chinese team's highest scorer was not Yao Ming, but Zhu Fangyu.
The Italian team began to double-team Yao Ming, so Yao Ming chose to pass the ball to the outside. Lu Yu did not shoot himself, but directly threw the ball to Zhu Fangyu who was already open. Zhu Fangyu pulled up and shot, and hit a three-pointer.
He felt pretty good this time.
When Lu Yu saw this situation, he passed the ball to Zhu Fangyu more diligently. Anyway, they were all scoring, and who scored differently. Yao Ming also knew very well that whenever he was flanked, the first one he would look for would definitely be Zhu Fangyu.
Zhu Fangyu is excited.
Sun Yiping said in the broadcast booth: "The Chinese team has performed well during this period, relying on Zhu Fangyu's three-pointers to hold on to the score. The only thing that worries me is our defense. It is too easy for the opponent to score, and Lu
It's possible that Yu may have physical problems as reported earlier, and he hasn't performed very well in this game so far."
Lu Yu's performance was actually pretty good, with 7 assists, but his scoring was a bit less, with only 5 points.
The main reason is that the rotation period in the middle two quarters allowed many young players to play for a while, otherwise they would have made a comeback long ago.
The young players, led by Yi Jianlian, were suffocating on the bench. They were so lively that they actually played evenly with the Italian team.
"So far in the third quarter, the Chinese team is still fighting with its opponents after the halftime break. It is a bit dangerous for Harris to do this. You must know that the physical strength of Chinese players has always been a problem. When physical strength declines,
The field goal percentage will naturally drop accordingly. Can the Chinese team still hold on to the score at that time?" Sun Yiping said.
However, the Chinese men's basketball team no longer has to worry about performance, so there is not much anxiety in his words.
As soon as he finished speaking, the situation on the court suddenly changed.
