Chapter 372 The number one villain of the alliance!
Lu Yu only missed one assist and got another triple-double.
Many people think it's not a big problem.
However, the sun was obviously a little abnormal today. Only Lu Yu knew that it was the result of his laziness.
He also wanted to see how far Yao Ming had progressed.
In the last quarter, the Suns started to show their strength and quickly opened up the score. Lu Yu, Richardson, and Marion scored consecutively and launched fast breaks when they had the opportunity, which made the Warriors tired of parrying.
The Warriors' weaknesses began to show, and the same problem occurred in the two interior lines.
At the critical moment, Yao Ming's physical strength could barely hold on, but the other insider couldn't.
He is Murphy.
In fact, Murphy was born in the wrong era. If placed in the small ball era of later generations, Murphy would definitely be the perfect puzzle piece for the championship team.
Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. In Lu Yu's previous life, the 4th or 5th position with three-point ability or ball-handling offensive ability must be very popular, but in the current NBA, if any big player likes to play in
If he throws three-pointers from outside or is not doing his job and likes to dribble the ball across half court to launch attacks, then he will undoubtedly be labeled "weak".
Of course, except Lu Yu.
Who do you think of as a player with strong three-point shooting and rebounding abilities?
Kevin Love, right?
But besides Love, the only one I can think of is Troy Murphy. In Murphy's 11-year career, he averaged more than 10 rebounds per game in five seasons, and his career three-point shooting percentage was as high as 39%.
It's a pity that Murphy spent most of his career playing on bad teams, and his exposure and popularity are really low.
Therefore, many young fans may have never heard of him.
Murphy, like many white players, has physical strength as his biggest problem.
What's more, he was playing inside melee combat, which he didn't like and wasn't good at, which was even more of a waste of energy. Haslem on the opposite side gave him a headache.
I thought this game would be directly harvested by the Suns.
Unexpectedly, Murphy, who had lost his energy, actually hit three consecutive three-pointers at the last moment, and then beat Haslem for 31 at the last moment when his leg cramped.
Although the free throw was missed, it still tied the score strongly.
107 versus 107.
The Suns got the rebound. Lu Yu looked at the time and saw there was only one minute left, so he called a timeout.
NBA rules allow players to request timeouts on the court.
This is different from FIBA rules.
Calling a timeout in a basketball game is a technical task. If you still remember the match between China and Poland in the World Cup, you should understand how stupid it was for the Chinese team to call a timeout when they were leading by 1 point in the last 7 seconds while controlling the rebounds.
.
It was because of this timeout that Zhou Qi made a mistake in a sideline shot, which directly ruined the upcoming victory.
This timeout was not called by the players, but by coach Li Nan.
Because according to FIBA competition rules, the coach off the court requests a timeout from the scorer at the technical desk, and then the assistant scorer will show the timeout card to the referee. The referee will blow the whistle and stop the clock when reporting a foul or after transitioning from offense to defense.
NBA games can call a timeout. When Lu Yu saw that there was no chance to launch a fast break, he called a timeout and asked the coach to arrange offensive tactics.
Of course, D'Antoni is not good at ground attack tactics either.
In the end, it was Lu Yu who suggested using the trained tactics of shutting down the elevator.
This is a tactic commonly used by the Warriors in Lu Yu's previous life. Now it is used on the Warriors. I have to say that Lu Yu's bug is so disgusting.
When he was about to play, Lu Yu said to Richardson: "Quentin, as long as you run out of position, I will definitely pass the ball to you, so be prepared."
Richardson nodded. There was already a tacit understanding of trust between him and Lu Yu. There were many buzzer-beaters last season when he received passes from Lu Yu, which also made him the Bulls last season.
The player with the most kills.
More than Lu Yu.
The game continued, and the Warriors replaced a power forward. Murphy's leg cramped and he couldn't play. The Warriors were also a clever woman, so they had to make do.
After an out-of-bounds free throw, Lu Yu caught the ball and moved it slowly. Yao Ming was forced to guard the three-point line, but Lu Yu did not directly break through him. This was too unfair to Yao Ming.
It's enough to undermine other people's confidence. You can't even attack one of your own, Yao Ming.
After Haslem picked and rolled, Lu Yu turned around and broke through. The opponent quickly pursued the defense. Yao Ming stood between Lu Yu and Haslem to prevent Haslem from cutting in the air.
Lu Yu glanced at the right side with the corner of his eye and quickly passed the ball.
Richardson relied on Marion and Nash to close the elevator, throw off the defense, catch the ball and shoot a three-pointer. The person guarding Richardson was his good brother Jason Richardson, but he was locked in the elevator.
, can only watch the ball and sigh.
The arc of the basketball is perfect, and the ball hits the net hollowly.
110 to 107
Lu Yu’s 10th assist.
Got another triple-double.
The Warriors were forced to request a timeout. This three-pointer was very demoralizing. The Warriors must score in the next round, otherwise they will be in trouble. It will definitely not work to use foul tactics at the last moment against the Suns. Their players are very accurate in every free throw.
Zhang Weiping said: "Lu Yu finally got a triple-double, and this assist is priceless."
Sun Yiping smiled and said: "The Warriors want to return a three-pointer. This is the time to test the stars. I don't think Yao Ming will attack in the next attack. Just like Kobe and O'Neal of the Lakers, the last attack must be Kobe.
So the last attack this time will most likely be Arenas."
After the game, the Suns players gathered around Richardson to celebrate, and only Lu Yu smiled faintly.
He knows Richardson.
The two seemed like a natural partner. Starting from that fight, Richardson seemed to have decided to be Lu Yu's sword-carrying bodyguard throughout his career.
After the Warriors timeout, Yao Ming pulled out to screen Arenas and helped Arenas catch the ball. Lu Yu quickly changed defense and blocked Arenas. Arenas did not dare to take action in front of Lu Yu and could only pass the ball.
Gave it to Jamison.
After using the screen to get rid of Lu Yu, he finally received the ball again and shot directly from outside the three-point line.
He was very confident about this shot.
Because there was no interference from Lu Yu, he forgot about Marion who rushed over. Marion's long arms interfered with his shooting. The shot missed the basket and Haslem grabbed the rebound.
Arenas' strong three-point shooting is very powerful, and he often kills the game at the last moment of the game.
Especially his famous shot.
Although the peak of the general's career was short-lived, the one skill he left to the world was enough to make him famous for a lifetime!
In Lu Yu's previous life, the Wizards faced the Jazz. Arenas made a winning three-pointer over Deron at the last moment. Before the ball even hit the basket, the general turned around and started celebrating without even looking back.
This kind of show-off action has attracted countless players to imitate it, but not to mention doing it at the decisive moment, even doing it successfully during regular time is very difficult, and it is easy to be as embarrassed as Nick Young.
But does this mean that Arenas must have scored the winning goal?
Whether this kind of ball goes in or not sometimes depends on fate.
Obviously, his life is not going well today.
The Suns attacked and Lu Yu crossed the screen outside the three-point line. Arenas was forced to switch defenses. Facing Lu Yu, he chose to step forward and press.
If Lu Yu were to crush him and break through, he really wouldn't be able to defend himself.
It was as brutal as Nash being crushed by him.
Haslem provided a screen for Lu Yu two meters from the three-point line.
Lu Yu broke through with the ball, while Yao Ming watched eagerly from the side.
Lu Yu accelerated toward Yao Ming. When the two were about to collide, his right hand quickly changed direction and easily passed Yao Ming from the left using his speed.
Lu Yu's breakthrough was something that even many defenders couldn't catch up with, let alone Yao Ming.
Yao Ming tried to foul without drawing anyone, but Lu Yu drove straight in from the left. Jamison wanted to help defend, but as soon as he stood up, he found that the basketball in Lu Yu's hand was missing.
Immediately afterwards, there was a bang.
Marion cut the ball and scored with one hand.
Faced with this kind of cooperation, the Warriors are helpless. After all, they have reached this position and no one can stop Marion.
112 to 107
Lu Yu’s 11th assist.
Zhang Weiping sighed: "The Suns have basically sealed the victory. Don't watch the game until the last moment. In fact, it is entirely due to Murphy's few strokes. Without Murphy, this game would have been over long ago. But Murphy could not save the Warriors.
Because at the last moment of the game, Lu Yu had many ways to help the team score."
What he said is right. Unless Lu Yu's team falls behind by a big score, Lu Yu will be unable to make a comeback.
As long as the score remains deadlocked until the last minute, Lu Yu's side will definitely win.
Because no one in the entire league can stop Lu Yu, who is really focused on scoring.
The Warriors didn't call a timeout because they knew the game was over.
In the last attack, the Suns had the ball. Arenas didn't want to give up and took the initiative to defend Lu Yu. Lu Yu received the ball in the logo area, glanced at Arenas, and then threw the ball directly.
Really throw it away.
It's not a shooting action at all.
After throwing it away, Lu Yu turned around and opened his arms.
The ball goes in!
Zhang Weiping said with a smile: "This is Lu Yu. He then threw it, and it was still in the logo area, and the ball went in. The most important thing is that he seemed to know that the ball would definitely go in, and he had already started celebrating in advance."
Lu Yu didn't think so much.
He just wants to let Arenas have no room to show off in the future.
The Suns won the game.
At the press conference, Lu Yu not only expressed his thoughts on another triple-double, but also commented on Yao Ming.
"Yao Ming is playing very well. He should keep it up and take more shots. His hooks and mid-range shots are hard for me to guard against. They are a big weapon. The Warriors should focus on cultivating Yao Ming."
In this game, there were several times when Lu Yu really defended seriously.
But he was still scored by Yao Ming, which shows that Yao Ming is indeed very powerful.
The combination of Arenas and Yao Ming is great. If Lu Yu hadn't been in the Western Conference, they might have created surprises this year. But with Lu Yu in the Western Conference, they would have been competing with other teams for second place at most.
A Chinese reporter asked: "What height do you think Yao Ming can reach in the future?"
Lu Yu said: "He is definitely one of the top five centers in the league. Although he cannot dominate the inside like O'Neal, he does not have to be like O'Neal at all. He has his own flexible footsteps and soft touch. O'Neal's style of play has become
Past tense, you can see by looking at me that the alliance is changing."
"Are you saying Yao Ming is going to try to shoot a three-pointer?"
"Whether it's a three-pointer or a two-pointer, it doesn't matter. I shoot a three-pointer because I have a high shooting percentage from beyond the three-point line. Yao Ming shoots a two-pointer because his two-point shooting percentage is higher. Yao Ming's existence, and me
The same will change the center in the league. The center is no longer a melee machine inside, which will not do any good except a waste of physical strength. For example, O'Neal, his strength is useless after meeting me."
There were bursts of laughter in the venue.
Lu Yu's complaints about O'Neal were simply too miserable, but what can O'Neal say? After all, he only defeated Lu Yu in Lu Yu's first year, and in the next two years he could only look at Lu Yu's taillights.
But O'Neal was not convinced.
He wanted to have a showdown with Lu Yu, because Lu Yu had always played as a striker before and had never competed with him at the center position. Anyway, this is what he replied to reporters.
But everyone is not stupid.
In last year's Bulls Finals, although Brad Miller was the one who voted for O'Neal the most, Lu Yu also voted for him.
Moreover, when Lu Yu defended O'Neal, the decline in O'Neal's efficiency was visible to the naked eye.
Stern was also very happy to watch the press conference on TV. Yao Ming is another Chinese player that the league strongly supports, and unlike Lu Yu, Yao Ming is a player trained in China, and domestic fans have more sense of belonging.
He also wanted the Warriors to vigorously train Yao Ming, but there were some things he couldn't say, so Lu Yu said them.
Among Chinese players except Lu Yu.
Wang Zhizhi is one, and he plays pretty well, but Wang Zhizhi rarely talks in front of the media. In this regard, he is not as good as Yao Ming. Yi Jianlian is even more silent, and he has only just been named a starter.
Because of the injury to Reggie Evans of the Sonics, Yi Jianlian was assigned to the center position as the starter. However, he didn't like playing center and was not used to it, so his data actually declined.
However, Lu Yu's style of play gave the Sonics hope.
They hope to train Yi Jianlian to become the next Lu Yu.
It's just that this hope doesn't seem good. Yi Jianlian is Yi Jianlian. I'm afraid the Sonics' expectations are too high.
So Yao Ming is now the most popular Chinese player in the NBA besides Lu Yu.
Praise Yao Ming, in short, you can't be wrong.
Of course, Lu Yu would not forget to praise his teammates, "I love Quentin so much now, but it's a pity that he is not a woman, otherwise I would not be able to get out of bed tonight."
The whole audience burst into laughter again.
Finally, Lu Yu said to the reporters in the audience.
"Look, this year's Suns and this year's Phoenix are the Phoenix reborn from the ashes. I will help this city win the championship and make this city the number one villain in the league!"
The number one villain?
Everyone was stunned.
It turns out that what Lu Yu wants to do is not the hero of a city, but the number one villain of the entire alliance!
