Today the team will have a game with the University of Washington Huskies. The Huskies are not in the West Coast Conference. They are a team in the Pacific Ten Conference like the Arizona Wildcats.
NCAA teams usually play against other league teams in the first few games of the regular season, which can be used as warm-up games, but losses will also be counted in the final score, so no team will take it lightly.
The Washington Huskies are still in the Bob Bender era, and Lorenzo Romar has not yet become the head coach.
This is not 2002, when Brandon Roy, Nate Robinson, and Wilcome Roy are still fooling around in high school.
Not to mention Lu Fei...
All in all, this is a weak team in the league, so weak that the team's star player barely averages less than ten points per game.
But despite this, Mark Foyou still sent out the entire starting lineup, and the lion had to fight the rabbit with all his strength, not to mention that it was a basketball game that could easily capsize.
The starting lineup is still Dan Dickau, Lu Yu, Mark Spink, Zach Goode and Casey Green.
Lu Yu rubbed his hands. This game will be the first game in which he makes changes.
The warm-up is over and the game begins.
After running in the first four games and Mark Foyou has strengthened his tactical training in the past few days, he can also see the changes in Lu Yu from the training. It is more obvious on the field, and other teammates have gradually found the feeling.
Lu Yu stole another steal, and Dan Dicko rushed forward without looking back. When the ball came to him, he made an easy layup.
Falling into defensive position, Lu Yu locks the defender tightly. The moment his teammates are broken through, he can quickly help defend and destroy the opponent's attack.
In short, this game allowed Mark Four to see a different Lu Yu, and he also saw the contributions made by other players after Lu Yu relieved the offensive burden.
University of Washington coach Bob Bender also tried calling several timeouts and arranged for his players to try to open up the offense from the wings. Unfortunately, the players with low hands were really limited and could not break through Gonzaga's iron-blooded defense.
Not long after the second half started, the game was already spent.
It's not that Gonzaga's score was high, but that the University of Washington's score was too low, scoring only 23 points at halftime.
Gonzaga's regular offensive level was even slightly lower than when Lu Yu led the offense, but even so, it still led Washington by 25 points, 48:23.
After a while, Mark Foyou replaced Lu Yu to rest.
Blake Stepp looked very excited and kept jumping on the court like a spring man. In fact, there is an advantage to being Lu Yu's substitute. In the past four games, except for the anxious game against Arizona, the other games were basically
With a big lead, Lu Yu had more time to rest, so Blake Stepp had a lot of time to come on as a substitute.
Blake's appearance relieved the Washington Huskies' shooting guard.
In the first half of the game, he scored two points by picking up missed shots. It was really ugly, but every time he faced Lu Yu's defense, he couldn't break through, and his shots were interfered with. There was really no good way.
Next, the two teams started to attack, and the scene was quite lively.
Mark Foyou stood on the sidelines but frowned slightly.
He understood what Blake Stepp was thinking. He wanted to overwhelm his opponents through offense and use his strong breakthrough ability to throw off defenders and attack the basket, but Blake didn't do much on the defensive end.
This style of play forms two completely different styles from when Lu Yu was on the court.
The team's tactical thinking must be unified, regardless of whether Lu Yu is present or not.
"Blake, I'll play whatever you want on the offensive end, but when it comes to the defensive end, you'll have to fight tooth and nail for me. Do you hear me?"
He shouted loudly from the sidelines.
Blake Stepp's heart skipped a beat and he nodded quickly. He didn't want to be replaced by the coach as soon as he came on the field.
He didn't understand why Lu Yu only scored 11 points despite having a good touch in this game and rarely took any shots. Most of his energy was spent on the defensive end. He even couldn't understand why the coach asked him to do what Lu Yu did.
Anyway, we win by big margins. The first two games against Green Bay and the Vandals were won by 30 points.
Is there a difference?
He is not as clear-minded about this as Casey Green. As the center, Casey Green used to bear most of the team's defensive pressure.
Because he is the center and the team's last defensive barrier. When his teammates on the outside are unable to defend well and the opponent enters the inside, he needs to make quick rotations.
The disadvantage of this is that every game may be a big victory, but he is still very tired from playing.
Today was completely different. Lu Yu and Dan Dickau formed a shackles on the outside, leaving the opponent with no chance to hit the basket. Even if he won by 20 or 30 points, it would be easier to win such a game.
Not only did the players' statistics not decline because they focused on defense, but they all increased slightly.
From another perspective, as long as previous opponents locked Lu Yu, it might be difficult for Gonzaga to win the game, because Lu Yu is Gonzaga's sharp knife.
But now Lu Yu is hidden in the scabbard. From the surface, Lu Yu will only be regarded as a defensive gate. When the two sides are defending to the last moment, Lu Yu's sword is unsheathed, and the true edge is revealed.
.
In the end, the Washington Huskies raised the white flag and replaced all the main players. Mark Four was relieved and replaced the entire bench lineup.
The Gonzaga Bulldogs won by a huge margin.
The cheers in the arena made Lu Yu couldn't help but smile. It seemed that the first game after making the changes worked well.
"I won, I got 23 points!"
Blake Stepp roared excitedly.
"What's wrong with this guy? Why are you so excited today? Did you take the wrong medicine?" Dan Dickau asked with a confused look on his face.
"I don't know either." Zach Goode shook his head.
Kathy Green said with a mysterious face: "He seems to be planning to pursue the coach's niece, the girl who gave Lu Yushui that day, Jessica Alba."
Dan Dickaw frowned, what does this have to do with him scoring 23 points?
"He didn't know where he heard that Jessica Alba's standard for finding a boyfriend is that the boyfriend can enter the NBA. He is worried about whether he can enter the NBA. If he can get such high scores in every game
, basically entering the NBA is a sure thing, how can he not be excited?"
"Should I persuade him..."
Dan Dickau looked at Lu Yu who was not far away with a little worry.
As long as you are not blind, you can tell that Jessica Alba is interested in Lu Yu, but Blake, a fool, has bad eyesight.
No, he has a bad brain.
Casey Green shook his head: "No, if he wants to chase, let him chase. If he chases, it's his fate. If he can't, it's because he has no ability. As for Lu Yu...don't you think he doesn't see it?"
The players got on the bus back to school. The moonlight was bright and the leaves on the branches swayed gently in the breeze.
"Lu, let's go to training." Blake Stepp said to Lu Yu after getting off the car.
"Um?"
"I feel that after training with you, my offensive level has improved greatly. Today I scored 23 points." Blake Stepp said proudly: "I will continue to train with you, so that I can keep improving until I have
One day I can enter the NBA, but I feel that with my current state, I'm afraid you can't guard me."
Lu Yu was stunned, thoughtful.
Especially the last sentence, it seems like bragging no matter how you look at it.
Suddenly, his eyes caught sight of Jessica Alba sitting not far away, and he suddenly understood in his heart that Blake Stepp, a licking dog, had specially lured Lu Yu into the water in order to set him off.
"No." Lu Yu refused without hesitation.
"Why?" Blake Stepp asked unwillingly.
Lu Yu glanced at him sideways and said leisurely: "Don't bother, no matter how hard you practice, you are still my substitute."
