Chapter 364 How could it be possible to pick up Lu Yu's Yahui, surpassing Lu Yu?
The Lakers attacked, and Kobe continued to back up Richardson. In the round just now, he had already gotten angry at Mihm. He felt that Mihm's defense was simply letting Lu Yu score.
After taking two steps in, he turned over and shot from behind.
Richardson rushed to block the shot, but he still couldn't reach Kobe. Kobe leaned back very much, comparable to Jordan back then, and he hit another one, 4 to 4.
Lu Yu doesn't think it's a big problem. When Kobe feels better, it's still difficult to defend.
Otherwise, Kobe would not have achieved such high historical achievements. His scoring ability was definitely unique during this period, but Kobe's ability to become a superstar definitely depends not only on his scoring ability, but also on his defensive strength.
When the Suns attacked, Lu Yu continued to pick and roll with Haslem. This time, without Kobe's reminder, Mihm directly brought it up. After the pick and roll, the defender was replaced by Cobra Grant.
Haslem did not receive the ball after the pick-and-roll, and stood back in a high position to attract the defense.
The Suns' tactics seem so simple, so simple that it's like playing half-court. Simplifying complex tactics is D'Antoni's tactical thinking. But if you really think that this tactics is simple, you are wrong. This tactics
The tactics not only rely on Lu Yu's strong personal ability, but also have many subsequent changes. If Lu Yu is blocked by the opponent, Haslem will have a chance to shoot in the high position. If there is really no chance, he can also coordinate and move the ball.
Of course this is just one of them.
Lu Yu dribbled the ball from his crotch to his right hand, took a small step back, attracted Grant to move his center of gravity forward, dribbled the ball behind his back to his left hand, then moved laterally and retreated to outside the three-point line.
When Grant pounced on him, Lu Yu changed direction again, with a series of dazzling movements that had already knocked Grant out of sight.
Lu Yu, who broke through, faced Mihm's defense and passed the ball to Haslem, who scored directly for a layup.
6 to 4
It is still too difficult to use Grant and Mimu to defend Lu Yu.
Grant is older.
Horace Grant was nicknamed the Cobra. He was not only a major member of the Chicago Bulls during their first three consecutive championships, he was also the team's third leading scorer, and together with Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen, he formed Zen Phil.
·Jackson's triangle offense system.
He won 4 NBA championships in his career, was selected to the NBA All-Star team in 1994, and was selected to the NBA All-Defensive Second Team 4 times.
He was once a very capable player.
But you have to know that he was born in 1965, and now it is 2004, and he is already 39 years old.
Of course, Grant is still far behind the other two members of the Bulls' Big Three, but his role in the triangle offense is irreplaceable.
After Jordan retired for the first time, Grant became the Bulls' second-choice player. Later, when his contract ended and he became a free agent, he went to the Magic and partnered with O'Neal to reach the Finals.
Horace Grant can be said to have achieved great success. He has reached the Finals six times, won four championships, was selected to the NBA Defensive Second Team four times, and was selected to the All-Star in 1994.
The year the Magic reached the Finals, a replica of his signature sports glasses was placed at the Orlando City Memorial Hall.
Unfortunately, that year, they were swept by the Rockets.
After being traded to the Lakers in 2000, he served as the main power forward and helped the team defend the championship.
Subsequently, he signed with the Magic. After one season, Grant was waived by the team. At the time, Magic head coach Doc Rivers claimed that he was a cancer on the team. Grant immediately retired.
In 2003, Grant, who still wanted to win another championship, came back and joined the Lakers again as Karl Malone's substitute.
After the famous F4 lost to the Bulls led by Lu Yu, he finally gave up and wanted to retire.
It's just that O'Neal's departure made the Lakers management beg him to stay and help Kobe Bryant fight for another year. In addition, with Divac joining, he originally thought that he would come as a substitute to help, but he didn't expect Divac.
injured.
He was directly promoted from the bench to the starter, and did the dirtiest and most tiring work.
If I had known I could retire, I would have suffered this at such an old age.
The most critical thing about this game was that he met Lu Yu, a perverted guy. Grant didn't know how to defend himself. After playing ball for so many years, he had never encountered such a disgusting style of play.
A good center should not go inside to challenge me, but instead attack from the outside.
Are you bullying me for being too old and unable to keep up?
In fact, Grant was really wrong about this. Lu Yu really wasn't bullying him because of his age. He would basically bully every center in the league like this.
When the Lakers attack, Kobe Bryant continues to challenge Richardson. This time he can choose to attack facing the frame, holding the ball and taking a tentative step to directly pull up and shoot.
To be honest, the reason why Kobe has grown so fast is really thanks to the Lakers' two head coaches for being tolerant of him. Every time Kobe made unreasonable shots, the coach could tolerate him.
If it were Brown Brown, would Kobe dare to shoot like this?
Go back to the bench and sit down. Don't talk about Kobe. Even Iverson didn't dare to make wild shots from outside when he was at his best. Brown hates players throwing blindly. Basically, all unreasonable shots don't have to wait until the end.
, Brown will scold directly from the sidelines.
It was because Kobe dared to shoot that he couldn't make a shot at the beginning. Later, he gradually gained confidence in shooting and his shooting percentage became higher and higher.
It's a pity that Kobe's shooting percentage is really not that high now.
The title blacksmith is more suitable.
Lu Yu decided to award the Little Blacksmith's name to Kobe after the season was over.
Kobe's shot hit the edge of the basket.
Lu Yu dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and Nash followed him. He was used to it. When he couldn't touch the ball as a point guard, he knew he should be a shooter.
Lu Yu is the only center in the league who dribbles the ball through half the court.
Just past midfield, with LOGO one step forward, Lu Yu shot the ball directly. Grant never expected that Lu Yu would shoot from there. He was almost at the free throw line.
The ball went in.
9 to 4
Lu Yu’s fifth point.
Do you want to say that there is an element of luck in this shot? Of course, no one can guarantee that every shot will go in, let alone such a long-range shot.
But players are like this sometimes. They have an inexplicable feeling that the ball will definitely go in.
So Lu Yu took a shot and it really went in.
As for midfield shooting, Lu Yu would practice it when he had nothing to do. Originally, he wanted to learn the range of Curry in his previous life, that is, just to learn to play, but he didn't expect to be able to use it.
It turned out to be really useful.
When the Lakers attacked, Kobe asked for a screen. When Grant passed by, Kobe saw that Haslem was not following. He took a step inside the three-point line and shot directly. The basketball was easily hit. 9 to 6
Haslem came up late, which exposed Haslem's lack of defensive experience. Although he defended very hard, there were still problems with his strategy.
The audience started to get excited, and after the game started, Kobe and Lu Yu seemed to be in a relationship.
After you sing, I will appear.
When the Suns attacked, Lu Yu dribbled the ball into the three-point line. Haslem gave him a corner screen. After Lu Yu cut in, he pulled the ball up and made a direct shot.
11 to 6
Lu Yu's seventh point. Looking at this situation, Lu Yu is going to explode again today?
It seems that Lu Yu has only played for three seasons, but his playing style is becoming more and more sophisticated. There is no young player in the league who can play at such a high level.
The Lakers attacked, and Richardson chose to go around and defend.
Atkins, the point guard of the Lakers, tried several times but failed to pass the ball. There was no good chance, so he had to look for his teammates. The basketball was passed to Grant, who passed the ball to Mihm, who then passed the ball to Ou.
Dom.
In fact, Odom is the hidden main force of this Lakers team.
Lamar Odom was selected by the Los Angeles Clippers in the first round with the fourth overall pick in the 1999 NBA draft.
Last season, Odom joined the Miami Heat as a free agent.
Odom, along with the previous year's rookie Caron Butler, the team's star player Eddie Jones and rookie Dwyane Wade, led the team to a good record of 42 wins and 40 losses, and scored goals that had not been seen for two years.
of the playoffs.
Odom played 80 games for the Heat, averaging 17.1 points, 9.7 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game.
However, Odom only stayed in Miami for a year before returning to Los Angeles again.
This summer, the Los Angeles Lakers failed to complete the contract extension with Shaquille O'Neal. Parker Riley took advantage of every opportunity and used Odom, Butler and Grant as trading chips to successfully extradite the Sharks. Odom returned to the purple and gold jersey.
Return to Los Angeles.
Odom is one of the most complete players in the NBA. Before LeBron James came along, he was the youngest player in NBA history to record a triple-double.
Because he is left-handed and has too many shadows of Magic Johnson - he is over 2 meters tall, can handle the ball, can score inside and outside, and can play 5 positions on the court, so he was called "Magic Johnson" when he first entered the NBA.
"The Left Hand Magician".
He himself admits that he does not have a strong desire to attack when playing. Therefore, due to his personality, Odom can become an excellent second-in-command, but he cannot become the leader of the team, but his ability is beyond doubt.
In terms of offense, Odom has always been known for his comprehensive skills. He has the height of a power forward and the ability to shoot from long distances. He is a little worse at 3-pointers. He can break through with the ball and can score in isolation with flexible footsteps at the basket, but he has strength and many inside players.
Muscular men are worse than that.
He knows his own strengths and weaknesses, so when he encounters a slow, strong opponent, he stretches out the perimeter and uses speed and technology to break through; when he encounters a fast, weak opponent, he gets down to the low position for singles; when shooting
On the other hand, mid-range shooting is a skill that Odom is good at. Although 3-pointers are not as accurate as shooters, he can always choose a more reasonable shot timing and rarely shoot excessively. He averages only about 2 3-point shots per game. He can
Leverage strengths and avoid weaknesses while improving efficiency.
If only, if he could be as self-disciplined as Lu Yu, that would be great.
Odom is also similar to Lu Yu in that he does not have a fixed position.
He serves as a point forward and plays SF most of the time, but in fact he plays three positions at the same time: point guard, small forward, and power forward.
His position on the field often changes according to the needs of the situation.
As the initiator of the triangle offense, Odom is responsible for dribbling through the frontcourt and passing the ball, so he is a point guard at this time.
After Odom passes the ball based on the opponent's defense and the position of his teammates, he immediately runs, whether it is the top of the arc, the corner, or the low post, depending on the situation. At this time, he is the small forward or Odom.
So in the game, Odom has to dribble and organize like a point guard, break through and shoot like a small forward, and grab rebounds like a small forward. This is a bit similar to Garnett. Garnett is a point guard when supporting in the high post.
He is Odom when playing in isolation, and he is a center when rebounding.
Odom has just become familiar with the Lakers' tactical system, so this is not a problem for him.
His question is, when no one else is sure to score, and there are eight seconds left at the end, what do you mean by handing the ball to me?
Odom could only force a breakthrough, thinking of relying on his physical advantage to beat Marion. Who knew that after crushing into the inside, he was slapped away by Lu Yu just as he was about to lay up.
The basketball flew out of the penalty area, Nash picked it up, and the Suns made a three-point fast break.
Regarding Nash's choice, he must now dribble less and find a suitable passing route as soon as possible. Soon he discovered Marion's position and threw the ball directly with his left hand.
Marion beat the defender and scored the ball.
13 to 6.
Half of this ball was attributed to Lu Yu. If it weren't for Lu Yu's strong block, he really wouldn't have been able to withstand Odom.
With his height and weight now, Lu Yu is a giant in the paint. Although his size doesn't look that scary, his defensive power is not exaggerated.
Odom was so slow that he got inside and tried to take an easy shot, but his shot was blocked.
How much Kobe envied Lu Yu’s physical fitness.
He has imagined countless times that if he had Lu Yu's physical fitness, he would be able to lead the team to the championship like Lu Yu.
To put it bluntly, he believes that his skills and basketball prowess are no worse than Lu Yu's.
The difference is only in physical fitness.
In a previous interview, Kobe was asked: "What do you think is the gap between you and Lu Yu?"
Kobe replied: "When a player has Lu Yu's physical fitness, playing basketball becomes extremely easy."
However, he ignored Lu Yu's talent in shooting. This is where Lu Yu is different from him. Lu Yu's shooting is more like the star of the Warriors in his previous life, Stephen Curry.
There are no blind spots in the entire field, so you can shoot wherever you want.
But now Kobe's shooting percentage plummets after leaving the three-point line.
If he wants to catch up with Lu Yu, he will have to practice shooting for at least two more years. Of course, if his shooting percentage is so high, Lu Yu won't call him a little blacksmith.
After all, there are so many superstars in the league, only Kobe can have this honor.
Facts have proved that even if Kobe has Lu Yu's height and jumping, he may not be able to reach Lu Yu's height, nor can he lead a weak team to win the championship like Lu Yu did.
After all, Lu Yu has more than ten years of advanced basketball concepts than him.
Since college, Lu Yu has paid special attention to three-point shooting practice.
As for Kobe, it was when he saw Lu Yu playing like this that he started practicing three-pointers.
How can Shi Lu Yu's dental wisdom surpass Lu Yu's?
