Chapter 354 Is it the butterfly effect of my own NCAA?
There are many players on the free market this summer, but almost none are suitable for the Suns. Otherwise, D'Antoni wouldn't be in such a dilemma.
Lu Yu looked around. He was originally full of confidence, but after reading it, he felt a little pain in his head.
No wonder many people can't do the job of general manager. Just the various rules for trading players can cure a person's brain paralysis for half a year.
But Lu Yu planned to take his time and look at it, maybe there might be some leftovers that he missed.
The next day, Lu Yu came to the training hall and happened to meet D'Antoni.
After D'Antoni greeted Lu Yu, he said, "Why don't you rest at home for a few more days?"
Lu Yu shook his head: "I still like to stay in the training hall."
"Are you sure you want to join the training camp?" D'Antoni was stunned.
"I won't come to see you if I want to go home. I've been resting for so long that I almost forgot the feeling of the game. I just want to listen to your tactical analysis." Lu Yu said with a smile.
"..." D'Antoni glanced at him suspiciously.
Do you always feel like there is some conspiracy?
Lu Yu really wanted to hear D'Antoni's analysis of next season's tactics. After all, judging from the current situation, the Suns' situation in the Western Conference is not optimistic.
Lu Yu's press conference was also officially announced by the media, and many fans learned that Lu Yu had already arrived in Phoenix.
"Lu Yu arrived in Phoenix safely and is currently in good health."
Phoenix fans are worried. After they heard the news that Lu Yu was injured, they couldn't help but worry about whether the injury was serious. They spent a lot of money in the summer and almost dismantled the entire Suns team to get Lu Yu.
As a result, I didn't play a single game but got injured.
So Phoenix fans hate Marbury.
An hour later, Lu Yu and Marion were fighting in a duel, sweating like rain, surrounded by teammates who were not familiar with Lu Yu.
Lu Yu squeezed the defending Marion with his body, "You can't guard me like this."
Marion pushed Lu Yu with his arm: "Although we are not on the same level, it is impossible for me to be able to defend against every ball."
"Defense is no problem." Lu Yu paused, "You have to take your hands away. We are not allowed to defend like this now."
Marion was stunned and changed the defensive rules. He actually forgot about it.
"You must adapt to the rules and make reasonable use of them." Lu Yu smiled: "Like this..."
Before he finished speaking, he turned around with the ball and took a tentative step. After clicking a step, he accelerated directly. Just as Marion was about to reach out to stop him, he suddenly remembered what Lu Yu said about the rules, so he could only change into a sliding step to keep up with Lu.
remaining speed.
Lu Yu suddenly slowed down and made a sudden stop for a fadeaway jumper. Marion didn't notice it for a moment and was thrown out by Lu Yu.
Whoosh!
Hit from mid-range.
"Did you see that when the defender cannot use his hands to judge your direction of travel, a change in rhythm is the best weapon to get rid of the defender?" Lu Yu said.
Marion thought thoughtfully, such a rule is simply a killer weapon for defenders.
As the Suns' future defensive wing, he must adapt to this rule.
Lu Yu looked out the window, seeing dark clouds and a cool breeze blowing through the cracks in the window. He said softly: "The weather is going to change..."
I just don’t know what this day refers to.
…
Chicago.
Wang Zhizhi walked out of the airport.
This summer, Wang Zhizhi, with the help of Lu Yu, successfully got rid of the Mavericks and was traded to the Bulls. Since Lu Yu left, the Bulls' small forward position has been vacant.
As soon as he got off the plane, Wang Zhizhi saw an unfamiliar figure standing not far away.
They played against the Bulls last year, but this guy always wore a mask during the game, and Wang Zhizhi couldn't remember his appearance.
"Hi Wang, welcome to Chicago!"
Hamilton came over.
"Lu Yu specifically told me to work together well in the new season. I'm really excited. It feels great to be able to cooperate with Chinese players again, both of whom are power forwards."
Wang Zhizhi smiled: "I'm not as powerful as Lu Yu."
Wang Zhizhi got into Hamilton's car and came to the door of an apartment that had been arranged for a long time.
"You have a good rest. I will pick you up in the evening and treat you to dinner." Hamilton said standing at the door.
Wang Zhizhi was a little surprised. Although he and Hamilton had only played against each other on the court, it stands to reason that there would not be such a close relationship between the two.
"OK."
He knew that whatever the reason, this was a good sign.
Suddenly, he remembered that Hamilton had just mentioned Lu Yu.
Lu Yu has such great influence on this team in this city?
You know, Hamilton definitely doesn't know that Lu Yu is the owner of the Bulls. As a new player who joined the Bulls, being welcomed by the old-school Bulls players just shows Lu Yu's prestige in the Bulls.
"By the way, I have always had a question about the summer trade. I have always felt that you coming to the Bulls and going to Phoenix with Lu Yu was something designed by the league, but I still can't figure it out. Could the league really have the heart to let it go?
Has Lu Yu, the rising star, fallen...Of course, Lu Yu can definitely take off in Phoenix City, but it is too difficult..."
The common topic between the two people was Lu Yu, and Hamilton sighed slightly.
Wang Zhizhi smiled: "You may not know that we Chinese people have always been very adaptable.
"Okay, I understand." Hamilton laughed: "Yes, Lu Yu is like that. He can play in any position as long as the team needs it. Oh, I'm sorry, I miss him so much. Let's go to Phoenix together when we have time.
Let's take advantage of him. After he left, the Luji in Chicago became less delicious."
Hamilton stretched out his hand, and Wang Zhizhi also stretched out his hand and shook it with his shoulder. After touching his shoulder, Hamilton drove away. Wang Zhizhi felt that Hamilton's character was not as difficult to get along with as the legend said.
It's actually quite comfortable...
…
After Lu Yu finished training, he took a look at the coach's office on the second floor of the stadium. The lights were still on and D'Antoni had been waiting for him.
"Dongdong."
Lu Yu knocked on the door of the office. When he heard D'Antoni letting him in, he opened the door and walked in. D'Antoni was sitting on a chair and drawing on paper with a pen.
Lu Yu walked over and took a look. They were all tactical drawings.
"Coach, why don't you lend me your tactical board..."
If there is one team that attracts the most attention this offseason, it is the Suns.
Not only did they trade most of the team, they had only one purpose, which was to get Lu Yu.
However, in the eyes of basketball experts, they are the team with the least movement, because in addition to this transaction, there is also the signing of Richardson in the free market, and the team has never made any movement.
It stands to reason that Lu Yu should be equipped with stronger helpers at this time to help the Suns survive the new season. However, in order to get Lu Yu, the Suns almost emptied the entire team and even overdrafted future draft picks. Now
The chips that can be brought out are mediocre.
No team looks down upon the Suns' remaining assets, which makes the Suns a player no one cares about in the market.
They can only find gold in the free market.
Many teams are also watching the Suns' moves in the free market and are ready to cut him off at any time, especially several teams in the Western Conference that aim to win the championship. They may not be able to use them themselves, but they will never let the Suns reinforce them.
Because the sun is shining!
It's a pity that the sun has not moved at all yet.
"Is Mike here?"
"He is in the training hall." The staff told him.
Suns owner Colangelo walked to the training hall and saw that all the team members were conducting tactical drills in group confrontations, while D'Antoni sat aside and kept directing the players' tactical movements, while his assistant coach behind him kept doing
Match records.
The team's lineup is still incomplete.
The main lineup structure is basically formed, but the strength of the substitutes is appalling. If he leads this team to play in the Eastern Conference, Lu Yu doesn't think it will be a big problem, but if it plays in the playoffs of the Western Conference, the probability of capsizing is extremely high.
After all, any of these teams in the Western Conference has the potential to make the finals.
Their players, head coach, and even many tactics are among the best in the league. The Eastern Conference lags far behind the Western Conference.
Of course, this does not include the Suns, the weakest team in the Western Conference last year.
Last season, the Suns, led by Marbury and Stoudemire, went straight to the bottom of the league. They had nearly three All-Star players on the team, but they went straight to the lottery and never returned. It was also the first time in the league that
Beautiful scenery.
"Lu... Lu, pay attention to your position..."
"Steve, don't be polite when you're out of position. Sean can't keep up with you."
"Quentin, you have to adapt to the shooting guard's style of play and don't hesitate to shoot."
D'Antoni's roar could be heard throughout the training hall, and even the players' shouts for fighting were drowned out by his voice.
Lu Yu directly threw away the defense after a screen. The substitute's one-stop defense ability was indeed a bit worrying. At this moment, Marion suddenly emerged from the diagonal ground and directly blocked Lu Yu's path.
Lu Yu kept his feet on his feet, but with a flick of his wrist, the basketball was passed directly over Marion's shoulder. Richardson had already stood firm in the corner, waiting for the basketball to reach his hand, and then he lifted it up and hit a three-pointer.
"Lu Yu's passing and Quentin's shooting ability are really a perfect match." Rico Angelo couldn't help but admire, and he felt a little proud when he recalled the time when he made the decision to trade Lu Yu.
This is probably a choice he can make for the rest of his life.
Only then did D'Antoni see Colangelo coming, and greeted him with a smile, "Sit back and wait, it's not over yet."
Colangelo didn't care, he also wanted to see what kind of chemical reaction the team would have after adding new players.
Marion caught the ball in the high post. Steve ran over to catch the ball. Lu Yu followed closely. Marion passed the ball hand-to-hand and then handed the ball to Nash. Nash accelerated with the ball, then flicked his left wrist, basketball
Passed to the 45-degree elbow area of the main lineup.
It was a no man's land.
At this time, a figure suddenly came in from one side. Marion was like a cheetah, grabbing the basketball and then facing the defense, he crossed over and rushed in.
"This is another treasure." Colangelo said with a satisfied smile.
Being able to defeat Nash in the hands of the shrewd Mavericks was another surprise for him this summer.
Nash's passing was simply amazing.
Just how to integrate Nash and Lu Yu is a problem. After all, Lu Yu has always been the core of the team, and Nash is a player who needs the ball in his hands.
After Marion entered, he dunked with his left hand and the basket made a trembling sound.
Colangelo really has nothing to criticize about the current lineup of the Suns. In addition to the substitute players, including Lu Yu in the starting lineup, there are four All-Stars. Many basketball experts also said that this starting lineup is simply perfect, but
Looking at the substitute lineup, this team definitely has no future.
Fortunately, other teams' bench lineups are generally not very strong. As long as they can withstand most of the weak teams in the league, there is no problem with the team's winning rate exceeding half.
Colangelo's goal is to make the playoffs. He has never thought about winning a championship, at least not in his first season.
The biggest problem is that the team has no conditions for reinforcement.
Judging from the current two-minute drill, run and gun will be the basic tactic of the Suns next season. This is no different from the previous life. In fact, the stubborn D'Antoni will run away with his eyes closed no matter who the star is in his hands.
boom.
He knows how to do this.
If you let him play with other things, he won't be able to play.
The most important thing is that run-and-gun is most suitable for this kind of team that is difficult to strengthen. Just add cheap shooters. Therefore, D'Antoni's career as head coach has been the kind of poverty-stricken battle. When the team becomes rich,
On the contrary, he won't fight.
"After Amare leaves, won't you grab rebounds?" D'Antoni shouted dissatisfied.
The team's rebounding was so bad that it made D'Antoni furious. If he wanted to counterattack, ensuring rebounds was very important. If he couldn't even get rebounds, how could he run and bomb?
D'Antoni frowned tightly, and his mind couldn't help but think of the tactical diagram Lu Yu drew for him yesterday.
It seems that the team still needs to make some changes to go further.
His eyes fell on Colangelo, who was sitting not far away. Colangelo suddenly felt that the entire arena seemed to have become much colder.
Well, it seems things have indeed changed.
The next day, Colangelo's office.
"What? You want to trade a rookie?" Colangelo choked out as soon as he took a puff of cigarette.
"No, no, it's not a trade, I just want to sign a free agent." D'Antoni laughed.
"who?"
"Udonis Haslem."
Colangelo glanced at the drizzle outside the window, his eyes filled with confusion. Who is this name...?
"The Jue of Extreme Chaos"
Why have I never heard of it?
In fact, it is not surprising that Colangelo has not heard of Haslem's name, because Haslem has never shown his prominence in the NBA. After failing in the NBA draft, he has been wandering in the European leagues.
Lu Yu also discovered this incident accidentally, which was completely different from Haslem's career trajectory in his previous life.
Perhaps, it is the butterfly effect created by the NCAA?
