Chapter 347 Do you know that you have been traded?
Lu Yu was stunned for a moment.
It's actually the sun?
He originally brought in Anji because after he left, with Anji as the general manager in charge, the Bulls' strength would never decline.
I didn't expect that he would interfere in his transaction.
But if you don’t have your own opinions, it wouldn’t be Anji.
In fact, the negotiations between Lu Yu and Mark Cuban have also reached a deadlock. Both of them are waiting for the other party to be unable to bear it first. Lu Yu believes in his attractiveness to the market, while Mark Cuban is reluctant to part with Nowitzki.
Of course, Mark Cuban is not stupid enough to want to have both, he is just struggling.
The current five-star lineup has proven to be a failure. If Nowitzki can be retained and two championship players can be obtained from the Bulls, wouldn't it be much better than hiring Lu Yu and draining the family's wealth?
Of course, if Lu Yu could come and pay a little less, he would not disagree.
The key is that Lu Yu's intention is obviously to replace a few more powerful players to help the Bulls still have enough strength in the Eastern Conference.
I have to say that Lu Yu is affectionate and righteous. Even if he leaves the Bulls, he is still making plans for the Bulls.
Cuban likes players like this very much, but he doesn't want to be that victim.
Unfortunately, no one knows yet that the Bulls are actually Lu Yu's team.
Three-party transactions.
Lu Yu pondered for a while, and finally said with a smile: "As long as I can go to the west, going to the Sun is the same as going to Mavericks. You can let Anji figure it out, as long as you don't leave me in the east... I have been quite tired recently.
Yes, how are you?"
"Not bad. I heard that you are going to play the US men's basketball team in the next game. I think you will have time to rest soon." Jessica made a joke and then said: "I think you are too tired this summer.
, it’s better to come back as soon as possible, I miss you.”
"..." Lu Yu.
"Okay, I won't disturb you anymore. Just prepare for the game against the American team. After the Olympics, we will have a lot of time to chat together."
"Huh?" Lu Yu was stunned.
Are you sure you're just chatting?
"Concentrate on the game, goodbye." Jessica hung up the phone.
Lu Yu rubbed his temples. Jessica was becoming more and more like a strong woman. In the future, there would be so many women in the family, and it would be difficult to manage them.
Scarlett is doing better. She is busy filming every day and is becoming more and more popular now.
As for Annie, her filming frequency is much less.
But recently she fell in love with traveling and even wanted to take Lu Yu along with her.
How could Lu Yu have time?
Theron and her mother went back to France for vacation.
Her mother has been urging her to marry Lu Yu, but she is helpless because her belly is not good enough and she has not been pregnant for so long.
Not as good as Bellucci.
Hit it first time.
The due date is in October, when the new season starts, and she is expected to give birth.
Lu Yu was also speechless. Bellucci and her ex-husband had been married for such a long time without having any children. Why did she get pregnant just once? Could it be that her ejaculation was too accurate?
At this time, Lu Yu didn't know that the news about his transaction in the United States had already caused a sensation across the United States.
Suns owner Jerry Colangelo said in an interview with the media that as long as they can get Lu Yu, they will not hesitate to empty out the entire team. If they can't get Lu Yu, Jerry will decide to sell the Suns.
Good guy, you are really trying your best.
However, in Lu Yu's previous life, Jerry sold the Suns in 2004 for 401 million to Robert Saville.
He was the Suns owner who was later forced to sell the team for the second time in league history due to workplace bullying, misogyny, and racism.
The Mavericks offered to work with the Suns and Bulls to reach a three-way deal.
Now all they have to do is sit at a table, spread the chips, and see who can get more.
Both the bull and the calf definitely want to kill the sun, but the sun is not just fish on the eucalyptus board. They also have their own ideas.
No one knows when this negotiation will produce results.
Harris was sitting in the room, smoking continuously. There was a video recorder on the table in front of him, and the screen was full of cut-out videos of the US men's basketball team.
In fact, he is very familiar with the characteristics of every player in it, but this game is really too difficult, so he has to watch the video over and over again, trying to find ways to defeat his opponent.
The American team is different from European and American teams. European and American teams are better at teamwork. The Chinese men's basketball team can snipe their opponents in advance through tactical arrangements, just like when China won against Spain. However, the American team has no tactics at all. Their tactics are
The personal abilities of the team members.
Therefore, how to defend the opponent's singles has become a key issue.
Everyone knows that this US team is very weak compared to previous US teams, especially after losing two games in the group stage, and the two games they lost were their two lowest singles efficiency games, but the thin
A dead camel is bigger than a horse. Coupled with the weak individual defensive ability of the Chinese players, especially the defensive ability on the flanks, it may not be that easy to reduce the singles efficiency of the American players.
Thinking of this, Harris took another deep breath of cigarette.
The importance of this game is self-evident. If you win, everyone will be happy. You may even win a medal in this Olympics. If you don't win a medal, you will be in the semi-finals. But if you lose, then the mistake of winning against Serbia and Montenegro will be a big mistake.
decision will become a fatal issue.
"Dongdong!"
The door to the room rang.
"Come in……"
Harris raised his head and found that it was Lu Yu who opened the door, "Why are you still up so late? There will be a game tomorrow. You have to ensure your energy. If there is nothing important, please go back and rest as soon as possible."
Harris said seriously.
Lu Yu looked at the video on the screen and the various tactical routes drawn on the draft paper on Harris' desk. He pulled the stool next to him and sat down: "There is something I want to discuss with you."
"What's going on?" Harris asked.
Lu Yu smiled and said: "In the next game, I want to play point guard."
"What?" Harris was startled, and immediately frowned: "Which position you play is a matter for me to consider. I need to arrange it according to the situation. It's not that you can play any position you want. You are a
As a professional player, I think you should know the division of responsibilities better than me."
What a stubborn old man.
Lu Yu coughed lightly, and the smell of cigarette smoke in the room made him feel a little uncomfortable, "It is precisely because this is your responsibility that I came to discuss it with you. I think you understand tomorrow's opponent better than me.
Where is the attack point? Their two guards Allen Iverson and Stephon Marbury have more offensive shares than anyone else on the team, and I think Liu Wei will have a hard time facing their defense."
"I can arrange for you to switch defenses. This is not a reason for you to play point guard." Harris refused without mercy.
"Their coach is Larry Brown!" Lu Yu said: "Liu Wei plays an organized role. I'm afraid he won't even get past halftime."
"..."
Harris understood what Lu Yu meant. Larry Brown is a coach known for his defense. According to his experience, as long as he has watched the video of the Chinese men's basketball game, he will definitely press the defense on the back line. Liu Wei wants to
When Iverson and Marbury organize the offense, they probably have to first consider whether they can dribble the ball.
"Keep talking..." Harris said.
Lu Yu knew that Harris had been persuaded by him, so he stood up, took the paper and pen from Harris's desk, and wrote down a line of words.
"This is the record of the U.S. men's basketball team in the group stage. They played five games, winning three and losing two. In the last game, they defeated Angola by a big score. Angola lost because they were penetrated by the U.S. team on the back line.
"
Harris nodded. He had watched this game and it was indeed what Lu Yu said.
"Then let's look at the other two games won by the US team. One was against Greece 77:71, only winning by six points, and the other was against Australia 89:79, which was ten points. The points difference was not big, while Australia and
Although Greece is not weak, according to previous games, it will never lose to the American team by so few points. There is only one reason: there is something wrong with the American team this time."
Harris said coldly: "Everyone knows that the US team has problems, but no team dares to despise them."
"I don't despise them." Lu Yu smiled: "On the contrary, I attach great importance to them, because in my opinion, they are much harder to beat than Spain, because what the Chinese team is most afraid of is this kind of team with strong individual strength.
, this is the principle of mutual incompatibility, our shortcomings happen to be what they are good at, but the game is like this, if you want to win, you have to find a solution, right?"
"Do you have a solution?" Harris asked.
"Yes!" Lu Yu replied seriously.
Harris glanced at the score written by Lu Yu on the paper. He had studied these games countless times and could never think of a way for the Chinese team to break the game. As Lu Yu said, the biggest shortcoming of the Chinese team was precisely the United States.
What the team does best.
"Keep talking." He put out the cigarette that had burned to the end in the ashtray.
"Okay, let's continue watching the two games that the US team lost." Lu Yu took out a piece of white paper again and started drawing on it: "In the first game they lost to Puerto Rico, Arroyo scored 24 points.
, many people said that Puerto Rico caught the U.S. team off guard, and some said that it was because of the arrogance of the U.S. team that they lost the game. In fact, that was not the case. There was only one reason why they lost the game, and there was a problem with their offensive and defensive coordination."
Lu Yu paused and continued: "The coach of the US team is Larry Brown. He is best at defense, but look at this group of players, Iverson, Marbury, Stoudemire, Jefferson
, no one is an excellent defensive player, the only ones who defend well are Duncan and Marion, so this group of American players Larry Brown cannot be used. For these players, no one can complete his defensive concept well. The United States
The other side also knew that the players they recruited were better at attacking, so they invited D'Antoni, but this became the key to their loss!"
"Oh?" Harris became interested.
"Is D'Antoni good at offense? Very good at it! However, his offense is not suitable for Marbury and Iverson, not to mention two coaches with completely different styles, Larry Brown and D'Antoni, to train a team. It is conceivable that
What kind of conflicts will arise? Just like you and Yunus, if you and Yunus hadn't made concessions to each other, I think the Chinese team would be in a mess now."
"Then what makes you think the two of them won't give in to each other?"
"What would be the result of mutual concessions?" Lu Yu laughed and said: "They did not compromise with each other, which can be seen from the way they attack, and the two people on the defensive end did not have a unified arrangement. Their defense relied entirely on
Their excellent physical fitness... We can look at their loss to Lithuania again, 90:94, losing by four points. Sarunas Jasikevicius scored 28 points to lead Lithuania to victory, I don't know
Did you see it?"
Harris frowned as he tried to figure out something from the four games analyzed by Lu Yu. He had always analyzed the opponent's tactical videos and never thought that he could analyze the four games together.
Suddenly, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"You mean..."
Lu Yu nodded: "Yes, the games won by the US men's basketball team relied entirely on the attack of the guard combination to penetrate the opponent's defense. However, in the games the US men's basketball team lost, both Iverson and Marbury were almost beaten.
It was blown up. The reason why it was blown up was just because this is basketball under FIBA rules..."
"And if we want to win, we have to start by defeating them."
On August 26, the match between the Chinese team and the American team was the last match of the day.
Before that, there was an unexpected game. Puerto Rico defeated Spain unexpectedly, which surprised all the fans. Puerto Rico is so weird this year. The team that even Angola dared to lose actually defeated the United States and the United States.
Two strong Spanish teams.
In this way, Puerto Rico was the first to enter the semi-finals.
The second game was between Lithuania and Italy. As a result, Italian defender Brazile had a stroke in his hand, and a shower of three-pointers sent Lithuania directly back to his hometown.
In the third match between Greece and Argentina, Bisse finally became normal. Argentina was originally stronger than Greece, and Argentina won 69:64 in the end.
But after the game, the fans thought, no, Argentina is third in Group A and Greece is second in Group B.
Is this another battle between the inferior and the superior?
In other words, the first three games of the quarter-finals were won by lower-ranked teams. Let’s look at the last game between China and the United States. It’s over. Don’t look at the Chinese team ranked first in Group A.
But everyone knows that the winner must be the American team, right?
Three teams have entered the semi-finals: Puerto Rico, Italy, and Argentina.
If China loses, this Olympic men's basketball competition will become the only quarter-final in history where all teams are upset.
There is a saying in playing mahjong, "Death by a thousand cuts, the first one is not the best." Now it seems that winning in front is not a good thing...
Before the game, players from both sides were interviewed on the spot when they entered the field.
A reporter rushed to Stoudemire and Marbury and asked: "Amare, Steph, do you know you have been traded?"
