Chapter 358 This is the first person in the alliance?
Haslem won a contract from the Suns and became the main starter for the Suns@Jingshuge.
This is an incredible thing in his opinion, because there has never been a player who could not even play in the NBA before. He can come to the NBA and directly become a starter at @京书馆. There are two reasons. One is because of the Suns.
In order to get Lu Yu, the team almost sold out, so the competition became much smaller after he arrived. Secondly, because he was recommended by Lu Yu, the team still valued him.
In short, it is all thanks to Lu Yu that he can become the first starter of @美书馆.
So when he got the advance salary, the first thing he did was to invite Lu Yu to dinner. Lu Yu refused directly: "From now on, whether you can stay in the Suns depends on your performance. When you really stay,
Come down, let’s talk about dinner.”
On October 29, the regular season officially begins.
The first game was between the two teams in last year's Finals. The Bulls faced the Lakers. The Lakers lost to the Bulls in an upset and got a good start.
How should I put it, these two teams are no longer the original finals teams. No one could have imagined that after one summer, these two teams have undergone earth-shaking changes.
The Lakers' F4 disintegrated, leaving only Kobe Bryant alone.
O'Neal traveled east to the Heat, Malone was unemployed and at home, and Payton went to the Celtics.
The Bulls have changed even more. There are not many old players left in the championship lineup. However, Wang Zhizhi's performance made the Bulls fans shine. Wang Zhizhi scored 19 points, 14 rebounds and 6 assists in the whole game. The key is that he is very efficient.
Many Bulls fans say that the products produced by the Chinese men's basketball team must be high-quality products.
Don't blame Bulls fans for saying that.
Now everyone in the league knows that among the Chinese players, except for Battelle, the other four players, Lu Yu, Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, and even Yi Jianlian, are all outstanding players.
You know, a few of them just overturned the US men's basketball team this summer.
If it weren't for Marbury's kick, the Chinese men's basketball team might not have won the Olympic championship again.
Of course, there are not so many ifs in competitive sports, but the rise of Chinese basketball is an indisputable fact.
After the game between the two teams started, Kobe began to score continuously. The Bulls' overall defense was good, and Wang Zhizhi's awareness of assisting defense was also excellent. Kobe finally found the feeling of a little blacksmith.
When Kobe is struggling, it becomes difficult for the Lakers to win.
This was also the norm for the Lakers in Lu Yu's previous life, and it was at that time that Kobe's reputation as a blacksmith began to flourish.
Kobe really wanted to win, but he couldn't do it alone. He could only challenge his opponents in the mid-to-long range. Once he got inside, he was flanked. His efficiency was extremely low. If he wanted to win, the best way was to look at Lu Yu more.
It's a video.
These are the original words of Zen master Phil Jackson.
If Kobe can't play like Lu Yu, many of Jackson's tactics won't be able to be used, and it will be very difficult for the Lakers to win.
In fact, Jackson would rather the Lakers keep O'Neal.
Everyone knows that before Jackson came to the Lakers, the Lakers could not win a championship.
At that time, the Lakers already had the combination of O'Neal and Kobe.
At the beginning, the Lakers did treat O'Neal as the cornerstone of the team. The team's tactics revolved around him, and he was the team's first choice for offense. All of this, as Kobe grew up, slowly changed, until 1998-
In the second round of the playoffs of the 1999 season, when they met the Spurs, the team's atmosphere suddenly changed.
When the 1999 playoffs started, they faced the Rockets in the first round. Both Olajuwon and Barkley were at the end of their careers. O'Neal made a huge difference in the Rockets' interior, contributing 29.5 points and 10.3 rebounds;
By the second round against the Spurs, O'Neal's scoring average dropped to 23.7 points and his rebounds rose to 13.
There are two reasons for this change. First, O'Neal was isolated by Kobe and could not catch the ball in the paint. Second, the head coach's tactics changed, which restricted O'Neal's playing time and reduced the tactics surrounding him.
O'Neal was isolated because his shooting percentage was too low in the first game. In the first game against the Spurs, O'Neal's shooting percentage was only 31.6%. As an inside player, in the 1998-99 season, O'Neal's regular season shooting percentage was as high as 57.6%.
With the shooting percentage cut in half, the Lakers did not give O'Neal a chance to prove himself in the second game. His number of shots dropped from 19 in the first game to 11 in the second, but his shooting percentage has reached 63.6%. O'Neal
After adapting to the game, but not receiving recognition from his teammates, Kobe repeatedly looked at O'Neal, who had already positioned himself in the paint and reached out for the ball, and then passed the ball to No. 41 Rais.
The pick-and-roll cooperation between Kobe and Rice became more and more frequent, and O'Neal became a solo player and was completely isolated.
In the series between O'Neal and the Spurs, O'Neal averaged 16.7 shots per game. In the first round against the Rockets, he averaged 22 shots per game. It seemed that there were a lot of shots, but they included O'Neal's own offensive rebounds, forming a
Of the second offensive opportunities, 6.5 of O'Neal's 13 rebounds per game came from the frontcourt.
There is also O'Neal's scoring. The overall scoring has dropped, but the free throw shooting average has increased from 6.5 points per game in the first round to 7.3 points.
Without Kobe feeding the ball, O'Neal continued to gain more offensive opportunities through his own fighting. Duncan and Robinson failed to limit O'Neal at all. O'Neal's number of turnovers did not increase, and his shooting percentage in the next three games was 52%.
Above, the first person who really limited O'Neal was Kobe.
The head coach at the time, Kurt Rambis, was inexperienced and could not control the players and changed formations randomly.
At first, the Lakers' defense did well. O'Neal could also attract Robinson's attention. Duncan would come over to help defend from time to time. This gave the Lakers' front line a chance for Lais to play. Lais scored 21 points in the first game, allowing Lambi to
Si mistakenly thought he could stir up the team's offensive firepower.
Therefore, in the following games, Lais and Kobe continued to partner as the main attacker, leaving O'Neal to dry, mainly responsible for defense, and even shortened O'Neal's playing time. O'Neal played 34 minutes in the second game and 37 minutes in the third game. This is compared to
In the first round against the Rockets, his playing time was reduced by more than 5 minutes.
On the offensive end, in games 2 and 3, Lace took 7 more shots than O'Neal in total, and scored only 2 points more. His offensive efficiency was completely inferior to O'Neal.
After falling behind 0-3, Rambis decided to re-use O'Neal and return the main offensive position to him. Falling behind by a big score was of no use. Moreover, after correcting O'Neal, Kobe and Lais did not buy Rambis's fault.
In the last game, Kobe and Lace took a total of 26 shots and scored 27 points. O'Neal took 23 shots and scored 36 points. Their negative game caused the Lakers to lose again and be swept out of the game.
After failing to make a breakthrough in the playoffs for three consecutive seasons, the Lakers once again changed their head coach. This time they invited championship coach Phil Jackson. It was the arrival of Phil Jackson that changed the fate of the Lakers and changed the future of the Lakers.
O'Neal's fate.
The first thing Jackson did when he took office was to support O'Neal and suppress Kobe.
In the summer after losing to the Spurs in 1999, O'Neal did not participate in training, but he was still thinking about how to win the championship. After hearing that Phil Jackson was in charge of the Lakers, O'Neal took the initiative to visit the head coach. After the two communicated, Phil Jackson said to O'Neal
I made two requests, one was to lose 15 pounds, and the other was to prepare to have a good talk with Kobe.
Although O'Neal has repeatedly claimed that there is no conflict between him and Kobe, anyone with a discerning eye can see from that series that their relationship is not very good. If they want to win, team leaders must unite. Let O'Neal lose weight
Heavier is to make the load on his body lighter and have a stronger impact on the court. Phil Jackson hopes to see O'Neal score 40 points on the court.
Led by Phil Jackson, the conversation between O'Neal and Kobe was actually just a briefing from Phil Jackson to help O'Neal and let Kobe feel comfortable being the second-in-command.
Therefore, it was O'Neal who was supported by Jackson in the beginning, but this time Kobe took over, he was even more in no mood to coach.
He also doesn't believe that with Kobe's style of play, he can lead the team to win.
So even when being interviewed by the media, he directly used Lu Yu to ridicule Kobe.
Phil Jackson supported O'Neal for five years, tolerated his laziness, respected his talent, and gave him enough support to serve as the team leader. However, in the end, he failed to influence the Lakers management and O'Neal was sent to the Heat.
On the 30th, the Suns played away to Seattle to start the season opener.
Experts predicted before the game that many people are optimistic about the Sonics. Firstly, it is because the Suns performed poorly in the preseason, and secondly, because the Sonics are really strong this year. Not only do they have the two twin stars of Ray Allen and Lewis, but also the new
Jin player Yi Jianlian even shines on the court.
This game is also the NBA's first China Derby this year.
The game was broadcast live on five CCTV channels. Wang Zhizhi's game was just broadcast yesterday. Wang Zhizhi's performance made the commentators full of praise. Today they are even more looking forward to the showdown between Lu Yu and Yi Jianlian.
The team of another Chinese player, Yao Ming, just defeated the Pacers 93-81. Yao Ming only played 20 minutes, scored 13 points and 7 rebounds and then went to rest. There was really nothing that required his efforts. The Warriors
The team also knows better how to protect big men like Yao Ming.
In Lu Yu's previous life, Yao Ming suffered a hard fracture and ended his career because he was used too hard by the Rockets, coupled with the heavy workload of the national team.
Before the game, Zhang Lili did not introduce the lineups of the Suns and SuperSonics. Instead, he complained that the Warriors gave Yao Ming too little playing time, so that Yao Ming might have poor statistics and not be able to make the All-Star team in the future.
Does he really know how to play?
Whether Yao Ming makes the All-Stars or not has nothing to do with data.
Finally it’s time to introduce the lineups of both sides.
"The Suns' @Jingshuge starting lineup is as expected before the game, but Lu Yu's teammates this time are obviously weak in scoring ability. Lu Yu needs to take more shots."
Xu Jicheng said: "I think Lu Yu's current position may result in fewer shots, and he may contribute on the defensive end. After all, the Suns' defense in the preseason was really bad, and they desperately need a defensive giant like Lu Yu.
The gate protects the basket."
Zhang Weiping smiled and said: "What you said makes sense. Let's take a look at the game and see how the coaches on both sides arranged it."
The starting players of both sides@Jingjingshuge are preparing for a jump ball in the center circle.
Suns Five: Lu Yu, Haslem, Marion, Richardson, Nash.
SuperSonics Five: Ray Allen, Brent Barry, Rashard Lewis, Yi Jianlian, Reggie Evans.
Ever since Wang Zhizhi's performance, SuperSonics head coach McMillan looked at Yi Jianlian and his eyes were wrong. With so many Chinese players playing well, it stands to reason that Yi Jianlian, a high-ranking player who graduated from Lu Yu's alma mater, cannot fail to play well.
What's more, Yi Jianlian is so young and has such good physical fitness. Why didn't he discover this treasure last season?
So Yi Jianlian was decisively placed on @Jingjingshuge's first release.
But Yi Jianlian's style of play overlaps a bit with Rashard Lewis's, so Lu Yu shook his head when he saw this arrangement.
Such an arrangement will definitely work against an average team, but when they encounter a team with a strong inside position or a team with a strong forward breakthrough ability, they will have a headache.
The front line was strong, but Lewis was as slow as a turtle, and he was passed by in one step.
The inside line is strong, but Yi Jianlian's current body is still unable to handle it.
Lu Yu was also very surprised. Logically speaking, Yi Jianlian is capable of catching some talent, but after two years in the NBA, Yi Jianlian still has no talent.
What he didn't know was that Yi Jianlian didn't deliberately train to gain muscle because he trained a lot on shooting and basic skills.
But strength training has never stopped, so purely in terms of strength and confrontation, Yi Jianlian only looks thin, but in fact there is meat in his bones.
Lu Yu jumped the ball and faced Yi Jianlian.
Yi Jianlian always believed that his jumping ability would not lose anything even against American jumpers, but when Lu Yu stood opposite him, he suddenly felt a little guilty.
The referee blows the whistle.
The basketball is thrown into the air.
The two jumped up at the same time, and just when Yi Jianlian thought he would touch the ball first, Lu Yu stretched his hand from the side and passed the ball directly to Nash.
Yi Jianlian was shocked to find that his bounce was one hand's height lower than Lu Yu's.
You must know that his height is just shorter than Lu Yu.
The Suns attacked. After Nash dribbled the ball through half court, he passed the ball to Lu Yu. Everyone pulled away. Haslem came up to pick and roll for Lu Yu. Supersonics center Evans was complaining.
Damn it, if you, a center, don't fight with me on the inside, just run to the outside.
It's so stupid that it's called a pick-and-roll!
Is this the number one player in the league?
I think he’s the best softie in the league!
Evans looked down on Lu Yu, but Yi Jianlian did not dare to let down his guard. As soon as Lu Yu entered the inside line, he shouted to Evans to attack.
Although Evans was reluctant, he still listened to Yi Jianlian.
SuperSonics head coach McMillan nodded secretly. It seems that Yi Jianlian is not only an outstanding player, but also has some leadership qualities.
Lu Yu saw the attack and distributed the ball to the middle.
Haslem took a step inside the three-point line and missed the open jump shot. He was still a little nervous.
The SuperSonics attack at a very slow pace. Among the five players on the court, Ray Allen is the shortest at 19. The other players are all over two meters tall.
This height is comparable to the Bulls last season.
