The Lakers attacked, and Kobe broke through with the help of a pick-and-roll. After getting rid of Richardson, he took another step past Haslem, attracted Marion's defense, and passed the ball to the outside.
Odom took the ball outside the three-point line and hit an open three-pointer, 13-9
Haslem was easily passed and he stamped his feet angrily. When he ran back to the half court to attack, Lu Yu patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, take your time."
After all, Kobe has played in the NBA for eight years, and Haslem is only in his first year.
Back then, when Haslem played for another eight years, the results were still the same. This was a gap in talent.
When the Suns were attacking, Haslem started to pick and roll Lu Yu from a distance of two meters outside the three-point line. To be honest, not to mention all the Lakers generals, even the well-informed Zen Master had never seen this kind of play.
.
The team's two centers did not prepare to grab rebounding positions in the paint. Instead, they moved outside the three-point line. The center broke through with the ball, and the power forward set up a pick-and-roll for the center.
As for the two guards and the small forward, they were lying in ambush and running around, always ready to catch the ball and shoot.
A vacuum zone formed under the entire basket.
What kind of play is this?
To be honest, Lu Yu had never seen it before. He just felt that it would be easy to win if he fought like this. No matter which opponent he met, he seemed to be unable to solve this kind of attack.
This offensive method had already begun to take shape in the Bulls. It was not until he came to the Suns and met D'Antoni that he integrated with D'Antoni's run-and-gun tactics and gradually formed such a unique style of play.
After the pick-and-roll, Lu Yu got rid of the defense, stopped in front of the three-point line to attract Kobe's attack, and passed the ball to Richardson on the right. Richardson took an open three-pointer and hit it directly.
16 to 9, Lu Yu got another assist.
When returning to defense, Lu Yu and Richardson clapped their hands. They were very excited. What they liked most was this kind of answer ball!
Zhang Weiping said: "Perhaps this is the reason why the Suns signed Richardson. Since the whistleblower scandal occurred that year, Richardson has become Lu Yu's loyal bodyguard with a knife."
Sun Yiping smiled and said: "Maybe this is their fate. Richardson helped Lu Yu once, and Lu Yu repaid him with two championships, maybe more than two."
When the Lakers attacked, Kobe posted up against Richardson, and Lu Yu stepped forward to attack. Kobe could only pass the ball to Mimu, but Mimu was too slow to lay up in three steps, and Lu Yu stabbed the ball directly.
Come down.
With quick eyes and quick hands, Marion pounced directly on the basketball that was poked out.
Shawn Marion was born in a single-parent family with two younger sisters.
Marion loved basketball since he was a child and began practicing dunks on a spring mat when he was 10 years old. Marion graduated from Clarksville High School in Tennessee and played football before joining the school basketball team. He eventually chose basketball because his body was too thin.
Marion was nicknamed The Hack, after TNT commentator Kenny Smith.
During Marion's rookie season, Kenny Smith was surprised by his abnormal athleticism and gave him this nickname.
His jumping is astonishing, his speed is as fast as flying, and his awareness is outstanding. His movement is erratic, he appears elusively in various positions on the basketball court, and he shoots in the 38-style style that is weird and ignorant of current affairs.
If Lu Yu's most artistic thing in his previous Suns life was Nash's passing, then what can rival it is Marion's rebounding and running.
After grabbing the ball, he passed the ball and there was no chance for a fast break.
But it doesn't matter, Lu Yu can continue to play pick-and-roll with Haslem.
The one who changed defense was still Grant. Grant and Mihm lined up to block Lu Yu outside the three-point line, hoping to block Lu Yu's passing route through the human wall tactic.
Lu Yu dribbled the ball and took two steps back, slipping through the gap between the two people. The two people quickly caught up, but the basketball was no longer in Lu Yu's hand.
On the other side, Haslem set an off-ball screen for Marion, and Marion was left unguarded.
After getting the ball, Marion threw the ball out in a strange 38-position style. When no one was guarding him, his shooting percentage was okay, and the basketball fell into the basket.
19 to 9.
"The basket is as wide as the sea in my eyes." Marion muttered after making the shot.
Lu Yu just smiled and patted Marion's butt, telling him to keep a low profile.
With his three-point shooting percentage, how dare he boast that the rim is like the sea?
However, Marion's advantage does not lie in shooting three-pointers. His defense and impact are what he is best at. As for the three-pointers, they are all the result of training with Lu Yu and Richardson during this period.
The shooting percentage has improved to a certain extent, but saying that the basket is like the sea is a bit ridiculous.
Kobe wanted to return one, but his shot from outside the three-point line was interfered by the tall and long-armed Marion. The rebound was directly picked off by Lu Yu. After Lu Yu jumped up in the crowd, his height and wingspan, plus
With his bounce and speed, others can only watch him pick up rebounds.
Of course, there is also a way, which is to put your feet on Lu Yu's footing like Antetokounmpo in Lu Yu's previous life.
Lu Yu was touched by Bowen once, so he would pay attention to such dirty moves most of the time.
After halftime, Nash passed the ball back to Lu Yu. Lu Yu took the lead, rushed past Mim, and rushed into the three-point line in two steps. Mim hurriedly retreated, but he found that Lu Yu did not rush.
He went in, but pulled back and retreated outside the three-point line.
Poor Mim, who was over two meters tall, stumbled and fell to the ground.
Lu Yu shook his shoulders and then threw the ball in without haste.
Oops.
At this time, Chuiyang was only a six-year-old child, and Lu Yu registered this signature move first.
22 to 9
With just one offensive opportunity, the Suns completely opened up the score.
The Lakers immediately called a timeout, and Jackson Jackson had a look of helplessness on his face. Last season, he just suffered a defeat at the hands of the Bulls. Who knew that when he met Lu Yu this season, it would be the same result.
This shows that bulls are not necessarily very powerful. The most powerful one is always Lu Yu.
Just one point from Lu Yu defeated the Lakers.
Zhang Weiping commented: "Lu Yu drove the team's offense with his personal ability, which seems to let us see the omnipotent Lu Yu in last season's finals. Coincidentally, in last season's finals, Lu Yu's opponent
Also the Lakers."
Sun Yiping said: "Although the Lakers have become weaker this year, they are still a Western Conference team after all. Lu Yu's personal ability is definitely unique in the league. I believe many players will be particularly desperate because they are in the same league as Lu Yusheng."
The same era."
Zhang Weiping joked: "Someone also said this about Jordan back then, but you must know that Jordan only won his first championship at the age of 28, while Lu Yu won it at the age of 20. Players of this era
, at least eight more years than the players in the Jordan era."
Sun Yiping smiled and said: "Eight years, many players' careers may not last eight years, not to mention that it is just a longer time than other players in the Jordan era. You must know that other players in the Jordan era, if Jordan had not retired for three years,
They can't last just six years."
In other words, according to Jordan's height, Lu Yu is at least at the peak of Jordan's nine years, plus eight years, which is seventeen years.
It’s scary to think about it. If a player dominates the league for seventeen years, I’m afraid no one will want to play anymore.
Excluding the two years of dominance, there are still fifteen years left. After fifteen years, James, who just entered the league last year, will probably be thirty-three years old, right?
I'm afraid no one will scold James this time when he plays brother basketball.
Because if you don’t play like this, how can you beat Lu Yu?
During the timeout, the Suns adjusted their lineup and replaced Barbosa and Haslem. The reason is very simple. During the timeout, Haslem sneaked over to listen to the Lakers' tactics and was not beaten by the Lakers.
Discover.
The Suns replaced Grant because he was older and replaced him with a younger player.
They hope to catch the Suns off guard by speeding up the game.
As a result, the Suns directly replaced the faster Barbosa at shooting guard, Richardson at small forward, Marion at power forward, and Lu Yu at center.
This is a little bit like one kid and four kids.
After the timeout, everyone on the Lakers came on the court and were stunned when they saw the Suns' lineup.
What a weird lineup this is.
But soon, they discovered that the Suns seemed to be attacking more fiercely, like a tide, one wave after another, making it unbearable.
At the end of the first quarter, the Suns led the Lakers by 19 points 40-21.
Lu Yu scored 18 points and 7 assists. He defeated the entire Lakers team by himself, and eclipsed Kobe Bryant, who actually performed pretty well in the Lakers team.
In the second quarter, Lu Yu took a break, and Nash led the second team to play, playing the running and gun game that D'Antoni is good at. Only then did D'Antoni find a sense of presence.
To be honest, in the first style of play, Lu Yu is the commander on the field. As the head coach, there is nothing to do. He just sits on the sidelines and quietly watches the game, drinks some drinks, and plays with his mobile phone.
Only in the second quarter, when the second team came on the court, did D'Antoni come into play.
Sometimes he wishes he could play with the second team all the time, otherwise he would always feel bad about getting paid.
Kobe continued to play. He hoped to catch up a little bit in the second quarter, so as not to have Lu Yu clock out in the third quarter, which would be too boring.
But he suddenly discovered that the Suns, who were not good at defense, actually started a zone defense.
This made him a little speechless as he had not fully mastered the three-pointer. Finally, at this time, he realized the importance of the three-pointer. Of course, he had known it before and had been practicing it, but this thing is not something that can be achieved overnight. It must be accumulated over time.
Fortunately, Jackson made many adjustments and passed the ball, allowing Kobe to get an open shot.
The Lakers' scoring continues to climb.
The Suns played well. As long as the Lakers couldn't score, the Suns won the rebound and would not hesitate. They quickly advanced through the half and ended the battle within a few seconds.
If you make a bet, you will make a profit; if you don't, you will fall back on defense.
Seven seconds of the sun appeared.
Like a hurricane, no matter whether the opponent can score or not, they must score anyway.
Such a quick transition between offense and defense made Kobe gasp for breath.
At the end of the second quarter, despite the fact that the score advantage was not further expanded, 68 to 51, the Suns only led by 17 points, but they made Kobe so tired that he wanted to cry.
I have never been so tired after playing four quarters of a game.
In the third quarter, after Lu Yu came on the court, the Lakers had no chance. Lu Yu scored 25 points and 3 assists in a single quarter and began to harvest the game.
No one on the Lakers could guard him. After getting the ball, Lu Yu was like a god of death wielding a scythe. All he could see was the basket. Every moment the ball was like a flame from hell, it completely burned the whole place.
court.
The Lakers kept double-teaming and even sent a three-man team to attack, but they were unable to limit Lu Yu's offense. In the end, Jackson gave up completely.
There is no way to prevent it.
The Suns outscored the Lakers 102-65 in the third quarter, leading the Lakers by 37 points, and the game entered garbage time.
Lu Yu opened the third quarter and scored 43 points and 10 assists. You should know that he only played a little more than two quarters.
This efficiency is terrifying.
By the way, Lu Yu also scored 13 rebounds and achieved another triple-double. Many people began to doubt that Lu Yu's statement about averaging a triple-double in a single season seemed not a joke.
After Kobe played two minutes in the final quarter, he was replaced by Jackson. In this game, he scored 27 points, 4 assists and 7 rebounds. His performance was actually not bad.
But when placed next to Lu Yu, they pale in comparison.
However, it seems that no one in the league can compare with Lu Yu with such statistics.
After the fourth quarter, the Suns beat the Lakers 133-89.
Zhang Weiping said with a smile: "It seems that Lu Yu showed no mercy to his good friend Kobe. I wonder if Kobe will let Lu Yu have dinner tonight."
Sun Yiping nodded: "I guess not. In our words, it would be too disrespectful."
At the press conference, no one asked the question who is better, Kobe or Lu Yu, because the answer is simply too obvious.
The reporter asked: "The Suns have finally returned to the top eight in the Western Conference. Do you still think the Suns can win the championship?"
Lu Yu replied: "Of course, you saw our game. Is there any other team in the league that can do this?"
The reporter asked: "What do you think of this year's Lakers?"
"It's okay, but it's not good enough."
The reporter asked: "Is it because the Lakers are playing like this because they don't have O'Neal?"
Lu Yu smiled and said: "Even with O'Neal, they still lost to me last year. Whether or not O'Neal is there does not change the result."
The reporter asked: "Coach Phil Jackson said that Kobe is not suitable to be the leader of the team. What do you think?"
Lu Yu thought for a while: "If Jackson is asked to be my head coach, I will definitely not be willing, because he will also feel that I am not suitable to be the leader of the team."
After Lu Yu finished speaking, the reporters all laughed.
After the game, Lu Yu's words once again became the focus of the media. The reason was not only Lu Yu's remarks, but also because of the quarrel in the Lakers locker room.
The protagonists of the quarrel were head coach Jackson and Kobe.
The problems between them could no longer be hidden this time.
