On December 17, the Suns played away against the Grizzlies.
The Grizzlies' record can only barely make it into the top eight in the Western Conference, and the team's star player is naturally Gasol.
Gasol actually plays pretty well, averaging about 17 points and 7 rebounds per game, but he lacks a bit of domineering spirit. It's okay for him to be the second in command, but it's a bit difficult to be the boss.
Sean Battier is also an old acquaintance of Lu Yu.
When I was in college, I and Duke were like enemies. I heard that Jay Williams was doing well in the Rockets, which can be regarded as a life-changing change.
Battier's defense has become more and more sophisticated. When he has nothing to do, he likes to watch videos of Lu Yu's games in college, hoping to learn more defensive skills from Lu Yu.
To be honest, he didn't expect players who came out of the NCAA in the same year.
How could the gap between the two people become so big?
He and Gasol were still under their rookie contracts, but they had become the team's boss and second-in-command, which made them helpless. Fortunately, they both worked hard and finally managed to bring the team to the top eight.
Location.
But if they encounter the sun, they are unlucky.
The Western Conference is already fiercely competitive, and with a gap of just one win, it's possible that the team might fall directly outside the top ten.
Since Gasol couldn't guard Lu Yu, he had to let Lorenzen Wright defend him. This stupid big man couldn't guard Lu Yu. In the final game, Lu Yu easily scored 40 points and 12 points.
A triple-double with 10 rebounds and 10 assists.
Nash got a career-high 19 assists. He didn't take many shots, so his scoring seemed very small, but it felt good to pass the ball to let his teammates score.
Nash has top passing vision and a variety of passing techniques. What he lacks is teammates who can put the ball into the basket.
When he was with the Mavericks, the reason why his statistics didn't show up was because every teammate had to dribble twice when they got the ball, which caused many of his assists to go to waste.
You must know that he is thirty years old and has been struggling in the league for so many years without even a decent achievement.
Now it seems that this year's assist king is expected!
In fact, Lu Yu sometimes deliberately lets Nash get more ball rights so that he can get more assists. After all, Nash should not get the honor of assists king.
Is the regular season MVP good?
It's a pity that he came to the Suns. In any case, it is impossible to give Nash the regular season MVP, so he can only compensate him with the championship.
In Lu Yu's previous life, the Suns could not win the championship because, firstly, their defense was too poor, and secondly, Nash's one-on-one offensive ability was average.
The Suns lacked strong offensive points with the ball at critical moments. This is why the Suns were weak as soon as they entered the playoffs, just like the Warriors later. The Warriors later found Durant to solve this problem.
At the level of the playoffs, sometimes you can't talk about what's reasonable or unreasonable. It's the last word whether a star is tough or not at critical moments. This is why players like Kobe Bryant, James Wade, etc. often play better in the playoffs. They are
I like it as hard as possible.
Lu Yu is exactly this kind of player, and he is tougher than all players.
Because Lu Yu was too tough, the Suns easily won the game against the Grizzlies.
On the 18th, the Suns challenged the Clippers away from home.
The schedule was very tight, so Lu Yu could only find time to call home to see how his baby girl was doing. Scarlett Johansson happened to be in Los Angeles, and the two made an appointment to check out a hotel room that night.
The Clippers are Lu Yu's old enemy. Lu Yu's first fight in the NBA was with the Clippers, and that's because Richardson has been following Lu Yu from the Clippers.
The score was 127 to 73, and he beat the Clippers with 54 points. Lu Yu didn't even take a break, beating the Clippers to pieces.
Lu Yu scored 60 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists in the entire game, the first 60-digit triple-double in history, which directly shocked the league.
Everyone exclaimed, is it true what Lu Yu said about making the alliance tremble?
When they defeated the Kings, everyone thought the Suns were just unlucky, but when they won three games in a row, with a bigger point difference each game, and Lu Yu's statistics became more abnormal each game, everyone
Everyone shut up.
Lu Yu proved with his actions that the Suns have the ability to defeat all opponents. If the Suns play like this when the regular season starts, the entire league will probably start to suffer.
In this way, many teams have chosen to play badly.
In particular, several teams in the Western Conference that could not enter the playoffs simply chose to give up. Some of them obviously could enter the playoffs, but they also had the idea of showing off. When encountering such a Sun, even if they entered the playoffs, wouldn't they be rejected?
Beat?
Mavericks fans are already calling Cuban a fool.
After all, they were the team closest to having Lu Yu this summer, but owner Cuban let Lu Yu go directly because he couldn't bear to part with Nowitzki.
Don't look at the Mavericks' current record, ranking third in the Western Conference.
The Suns are only ranked tenth in the Western Conference.
But everyone knows that it is only a matter of time before the Suns' ranking rises.
What's more, how can Nowitzki compare with Lu Yu?
As for last year's powerful Lakers team in the Western Conference, this year's situation is even worse. Without O'Neal, the Lakers were led by Kobe alone and directly led to the eleventh place in the Western Conference. They were not as good as the Suns.
But the Suns have seen hope, while the Lakers are still sinking in the quagmire.
Many people on the Internet have begun to compare Lu Yu and Kobe. Originally, they did not play the same position, so there was no comparison. However, Kobe is Lu Yu's good friend. After the comparison, Kobe's leadership ability was discovered.
, worse than Lu Yu by more than one level.
According to the current trend, it will be too difficult for the Lakers to turn around.
The Suns, on the other hand, have been making great progress without any problems at all.
The league originally planned a Christmas game between the two teams, but the Lakers' record was so bad that it could only be adjusted to a game between the Suns and the Bulls. By then, Lu Yu could still receive his championship ring at the Bulls' home court.
Ratings will definitely be guaranteed.
On December 22, the Suns will face the Lakers ahead of schedule.
The Lakers kept losing, kept losing, and the losers lost their temper. But Kobe had a temper. He wanted to win the game. In his life creed, there was no option to admit defeat.
This is also a focus game that the United States is paying attention to. It was originally supposed to be a Christmas game, but it was moved to the front mainly because of the Lakers' record, but it did not affect the Lakers' popularity at all.
Of course, it's more of the reason why the Suns are so popular right now.
If he continues to lose like this, Kobe can become as famous a tragic figure in the league as Iverson, but Kobe is much better than Iverson, and has at least won two championships.
Iverson is a little bit worse. Depending on the situation, it is probably not impossible that he will not win a championship in his life.
Unless he comes to hug Lu Yu's thigh.
It's not necessarily possible whether Lu Yu wants it or not. There are so many people who want to hug Lu Yu's lap, and Lu Yu has to choose.
If it were Kobe, he wouldn't have any objections.
Because Lu Yu and Kobe are good friends, this game is still full of gimmicks.
When the Suns had been losing before, many people compared Lu Yu and Kobe to be brothers. Both of them drifted away after winning two championships. Lu Yu wanted to change teams and come to the West, and Kobe wanted to drive away O'Neal and become the boss.
.
As a result, the Suns have turned around now, and Kobe is the only one left to shoulder everything.
Lakers fans hope to see their team change like the Suns. They hope to see Kobe beat Lu Yu severely. Last season’s finals were lost because of Lu Yu. Now that they see Lu Yu, they don’t care.
Are Kobe and Lu Yu good friends? Fans just want to fuck Lu Yu.
Kobe Bryant also said in an interview before the game that the person he wanted to beat the most was Lu Yu.
Regardless of whether Lu Yu is in the same position as him or not, he regards Lu Yu as his target to defeat. Regardless of Lu Yu playing center now, everyone knows that Lu Yu just doesn't need to play shooting guard. If Lu Yu wants
If he plays shooting guard, he will definitely be the number one shooting guard in the league.
Originally, in this game, Kobe thought that the Lakers and Suns were inseparable, and the Lakers might still have a chance to defeat the Suns. However, the changes in the Suns suddenly doubled his pressure.
This game was also broadcast on CCTV's five channels. The Suns' ratings are now the highest among all teams. In several games, the Suns have conquered all the fans.
In addition, Lu Yu is already extremely popular in China, so now the Suns’ games are never left out by CCTV’s five sets.
Lu Yu appeared on the stage and was booed by the fans in the audience.
After the warm-up, Lu Yu walked to the sidelines, covered his ears with his hands, and made a sound-collecting gesture. Then he came to the technical stage, rubbed the magnesium powder with his hands, opened his arms and threw the magnesium powder in the air.
After throwing it away, the booing got even louder.
Lu Yu then put his index finger to his lips and made a silent gesture.
After a set of actions, others have nothing to do.
But the action of radio reception was done by Iverson, so it doesn’t matter, it will be Lu Yu’s from now on.
The sky full of fans and arrogant gestures made Lakers fans see Lu Yu's arrogance.
Zhang Weiping said with a smile: "Lu Yu has already started celebrating before the game starts. His arrogance is based on his strength. This is the difference between Lu Yu and many domestic players. Wang Zhizhi and Dayao definitely can't do it."
Make such an action."
Xu Jicheng sighed: "Not to mention Da Zhi and Da Yao, even Yi Jianlian, who had the same growth experience as Lu Yu, also has a restrained character."
In fact, how did they know that Lu Yu just wanted to take over other people's signature moves?
He even wanted to wait until he returned home on Christmas Day, win the game and stand on the technical stage, shouting: "This is my horse!"
Players from both sides are on the court. Regardless of the Suns playing away games, the Suns are obviously more powerful than the Lakers.
This has something to do with the temperament of the team boss.
Kobe is the kind of player who likes to work hard alone, and only when he shows his talents occasionally will he roar with anger.
Lu Yu, on the other hand, has brought a kind of domineering attitude to the sun.
Suns starting lineup: Nash, Richardson, Marion, Haslem, Lu Yu.
Lakers starting lineup: Atkins, Kobe, Odom, Grant and Chris Mihm.
Originally, the Lakers traded for Divac in the summer, hoping to fill the vacancy after O'Neal left. Unfortunately, Divac has been recovering from injury after playing more than ten games.
So the center position is now Mihm.
Mihm is a white center with average physical fitness. His average data in three seasons at the University of Texas was 14.6 points, 9.8 rebounds and 2.8 blocks. Scouts evaluated him as: a very flexible and technical seven-foot-long player.
people.
His performance in college showed some potential for him to become a top center.
He has good low-post skills and mid-range shooting, is good at defense and can block the opponent's mid-range shots. He has all the potential to become a great NBA center.
But potential is potential, and it's completely different after entering the NBA.
In Lu Yu's previous life, his eight-year NBA career averages were only 7.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1 block, which was far from "great".
What's more, he was facing Lu Yu in this match, and he had no confidence at all to beat Lu Yu.
As long as you don't get tortured too badly, that'll be fine.
Lu Yu won the jump ball and the game began.
After Nash dribbled the ball past halftime, he passed it to Lu Yu in a routine operation. The Lakers used man-to-man tactics, and Mimu could only follow Lu Yu and be pulled out of the perimeter.
This is what makes Lu Yu disgusting. There is no center in the league who can guard Lu Yu from the outside.
But Lu Yu can guard almost all centers.
Haslem continued the pick-and-roll in the middle, and Lu Yu moved laterally and cut in, then walked to the left and rushed toward the baseline.
Mimu, who is 213cm tall, cannot keep up with Lu Yu. During last year's finals, he sat on the sidelines and watched Lu Yu's performance. Now that he is asked to go on the court to defend, how can he defend him?
Grant was a little slow in assisting in defense. Lu Yu accelerated and broke through him and easily made a three-step layup, 2-0.
When the Lakers attacked, Kobe faced Richardson's defense, turned around and shot a jumper after playing behind the back.
Kobe has officially polished his back-up skills this season, which has made his shooting percentage higher. In fact, this is also the result of him imitating Jordan.
In the past, although he occasionally played from behind, it was only one of his scoring methods.
Now he has regarded this scoring method as his regular weapon.
Three points left.
Kobe was inspired by Lu Yu and began to practice three-pointers desperately. You must know that Kobe in his previous life did not start to pay attention to three-pointers until later. After all, the entire league does not pay much attention to three-pointers now.
After Kobe turned his back, he shook his shoulders directly, then turned over and shot.
Richardson misjudged the direction and was tricked to the other side. Kobe made a shot.
2 to 2
When the Suns attacked, Mim decided to put Lu Yu farther away to prevent Lu Yu from using a pick-and-roll to break through. Unfortunately, the distance was so far, just like letting Lu Yu make a contact shot.
When Kobe saw something was wrong, he immediately made up for it. He rushed forward to defend Lu Yu personally.
It's a pity that with his pounce, the Lakers' defense immediately had a loophole. Because they didn't communicate well before changing defense, it was easy for Lu Yu to seize the opportunity.
Lu Yu made a through pass and passed the ball to Richardson who seized the opportunity to cut in the air. At this time, the inside line was completely empty. Richardson took the ball and went straight for a layup.
4 to 2
Lu Yu got the first assist of the game.
Obviously, the Lakers have not thought about how to defend the Suns.
