Chapter 385 The Grizzly Boss is already crying and fainting in the toilet
Lu Yu broke the historical record. No player has ever produced such data before, not even the god of basketball Jordan.
Facing reporters’ questions.
Lu Yu said: "I was also surprised to play such data. I couldn't play such data originally. I want to thank the Warriors for not giving up the game and catching up with the score, allowing me to play again and improve the data."
The reporters all laughed.
Lu Yu joked that he was playing to brush up his statistics, which was much better than those who just stayed on the court at the last moment and failed to brush up their statistics.
The reporter asked: "You became the first player in history to hit such statistics. Do you have any special feelings?"
Lu Yu shook his head: "Actually no, I just hope I can perform like this in the playoffs. This is just a regular season, just an ordinary game among the 82 games, even if I play more explosive
Data, this game will only increase our winning rate a little bit, and it is not even as important as Tianwangshan in the finals. Of course, I am very happy to win the game. At this point in the season, of course we want to get the first place in the league.
record, and work hard for home field advantage in the playoffs."
The reporter asked Lu Yu if he was confident in leading the Suns to win the championship this season.
Lu Yu gave an affirmative answer: "Of course, the regular season record proves that our strength is not afraid of any team in the league. At the beginning of the season, we said that we would be the number one villain in the league, making every opponent unwilling to touch us.
As for us, I think we have done it now. After all, the team's goal at the beginning of the season was just to enter the playoffs. Now we not only want to enter the playoffs, but also enter the finals and win the O'Brien Cup."
The reporters applauded, and Lu Yu continued: "I think the Suns have a chance to become a dynasty team in the league. Whether it is the configuration of players, coaches, or doctors, everyone on this team is working hard for the team's winning atmosphere.
"
The Suns' team doctor is so famous.
The NBA has the "Four Treasures": "Thunder Rookie", "Rockets Veteran", "Sunshine Doctor", and "Spurs Assistant".
The team doctors of the Suns are called the Holy Light Medical Team, which is in perfect contrast to the doctors of the Trail Blazers, who are called the Veterinary Team.
Mainly because many seriously injured players stay healthy in the Suns, and players with glass attributes can have a good attendance rate in the Suns.
Mainly because the Suns have a very well-known doctor on the team's medical staff, Thomas Carter, a well-known orthopedic surgeon in the United States. The medical team headed by Carter helps players reduce injuries, extend their careers, and achieve high performance.
Not to mention the latecomers such as Grant Hill, Channing Frye and O'Neal, let's talk about the current Nash. He has been plagued by back injuries when he was with the Mavericks.
You can often see Nash lying on the floor instead of sitting on the bench when he comes off the court, because this can relieve the nerves in his back. Even with such health concerns, under the careful care of the Suns team doctors, Nash has maintained his health.
Healthy and in good condition.
This is what Lu Yu likes most about the Suns.
From the boss to the team doctor, everyone works hard for the team to win.
The Suns' next opponent is an away game against the Spurs, which is even more eye-catching.
The Spurs are second in the Western Conference, closely chasing the Suns, and Duncan is also closely behind Lu Yu in the MVP rankings. Both Lu Yu and Duncan have performed outstandingly this season, but Lu Yu's performance is even worse.
Just eye-catching.
This game did not disappoint the fans. It was full of exciting twists and turns. The Suns defeated the Spurs 103-95.
In fact, it can be seen from the score that this is not a normal score for the Suns. The Suns were slowed down by the Spurs. Otherwise, the Suns, which averaged more than 110 points per game, would have only scored 103 points.
Lu Yu played 44 minutes and scored 35 points, 7 rebounds and 11 assists. Under his leadership, five members of the team scored in double figures.
But it is a pity that Lu Yu did not get a triple-double in this game because he was alone in the paint and had to fight for rebounds with Duncan and the Spurs' Nesterovich.
In terms of rebounding alone, the Suns lost a lot.
The Spurs started with Parker, Ginobili, Bowen, Duncan and center Nesterovich. Except for center Nesterovich, who was an out-and-out role player, the four Spurs players at the time
All are all-star level.
The Spurs' strength this year lies in their defense.
Because they have two of the best defensive players in their lineup, both Duncan and Bowen were selected to the defensive first team.
There were Robert Holley, Brent Barry, Glenn Robinson and others on the bench. Glenn Robinson only played nine games that season. If the former No. 1 pick could stay healthy and full attendance, the Spurs'
The substitutes will definitely become stronger. Although most of the substitutes are veterans, these veterans have maintained their condition very well.
Fortunately, Lu Yu played well and suppressed the Spurs' counterattack.
Lu Yu's convulsive performance in two consecutive games was so accurate that people exclaimed, "Is there something wrong?"
Lu Yu scored these 35 points. In addition to 6 free throws, Lu Yu made 3 of 4 three-pointers and 10 of 13 two-pointers and baskets, with a shooting percentage of 76%.
It's just that today's teammates' shooting percentage was average, which allowed the Spurs to hold on to the score. Fortunately, Lu Yu took over the game at the last moment.
Second-year player Parker made 6 of 13 shots, 1 of 7 three-pointers, and scored 13 points and 9 assists. The statistics were not bad, but his performance beyond the three-point line was terrible.
The Spurs' shooting guard who performed worse than Parker was shooting guard Brent Barry, who made 1 of 9 three-pointers and 3 of 15 overall. He scored 12 points and 4 rebounds including free throws.
Without double-teaming, the Suns players would not be able to guard Duncan, just like the Spurs had to double-team Lu Yu.
Duncan also played 44 minutes, making 14 of 18 shots, 7 of 9 free throws, and scored 35 points, 21 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals, and 4 blocks. If the Spurs hadn't made 3 of 26 three-pointers, the Suns would have never won.
If teammates on the outside can hit a few open three-pointers at will, Duncan will not be double-teamed frequently, and he should be able to post a terrifying triple-double of 402,010, which is enough to be recorded in the history books.
Duncan's skills are all regular moves inside, and his basic skills are very solid. He can play singles on both sides of the frame on the left and right sides, and with his back. His opponent will not double-team, and his scoring efficiency is super high.
O'Neal only served two people, one was Hakeem Olajuwon and the other was Tim Duncan. When the teams competed, they basically defended one on one. In Lu Yu's previous life, Duncan's peak was longer
Some, O'Neal's peak is more dazzling, the two are basically equal in strength, and neither can guard the other.
But let Duncan speak, he definitely said that he couldn't guard O'Neal.
Just like in this game, he couldn't guard Lu Yu at all.
Duncan didn't dare to play against O'Neal. When playing against O'Neal, he was a power forward, and when playing against other teams, he was a center. He spent about 65% of his career in the C position. Even though he was a center, he always said he was a power forward!
What O'Neal fears most is the pick-and-roll system. Being swept by the Utah duo in 1998 shows everything. In fact, O'Neal was already at his peak at that time.
Later, in 2000, when Kobe Bryant matured and had more tactical options, people felt how powerful the Lakers were. Frankly speaking, in fact, in the three consecutive championships at the beginning of the century, the most important thing for the Lakers to break out of the Western Conference was not the Sharks, but the Sharks.
It was Kobe. The pick-and-roll system was most afraid of being able to hit a tough mid-range shot, and Kobe was the best at that time.
In most seasons, O'Neal is better than Duncan. Duncan is far less dominant than O'Neal in the basket. Moreover, the Spurs have always had a good coach and have always been a strong team. Although Duncan is better than O'Neal in terms of personal honors, his true dominance on the court
O'Neal is stronger. The league has changed the rules many times because of him, which shows how powerful O'Neal is.
Lu Yu watched a lot of games between O'Neal and Duncan in the past few years from 2000 to 2005.
In the three years from 2000 to 2002, O'Neal's scoring ability was so explosive that Lu Yu didn't think anyone could defend him, not even with Chamberlain and Russell coming. That was a shock!
To be honest, even if Duncan does not play team basketball, his scoring ability cannot compare with O'Neal; other than that, Duncan is slightly better than O'Neal.
Let's put it this way, Duncan mainly has stronger technical ability, while O'Neal has stronger internal tonnage and explosive power.
Both of these are inside, but Duncan's position is mainly towards the power forward, and his range of activities is wider! O'Neal is stronger when playing inside, and Duncan has better mid-range technical shooting ability.
O'Neal and Duncan are not the same type. Comparing them is too tiring! There are two types of basketball, one is superstar basketball and the other is overall basketball!
Both of them are superstars,
But Duncan is obviously the axis of the system!
O'Neal relies on his personal physical advantages to clearly put his own brand on superstar basketball.
The bifurcation of the two schools is that Duncan, who was 38 years old in 2014, is still the axis of the Spurs' system and can still make the team operate smoothly.
And how has the 38-year-old O'Neal degenerated?
But now someone has put forward a point of view, that is, Lu Yu is very much like a combination of Duncan and O'Neal!
Lu Yu was a little confused, how could I be like a big guy like Ao Yuwen.
I obviously play defender, okay?
Didn’t you see that in the summer, when I was in the national team, I was still playing shooting guard?
After a day off, the Suns defeated the Kings 115-84 at home, suppressing two important competitors in the Western Conference.
Marion made 11 of 18 shots, 3 of 5 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 27 points, 11 rebounds, 4 steals, and 2 blocks.
Lu Yu had a bad touch, hitting 1 of 6 three-pointers, but he also scored 22 points, 8 assists and 3 steals through breakthroughs.
The Kings don't have Webb or Divac, so what can they do to compete with the Suns' Lu Yu, who is in poor condition in this game.
I don’t know what the Kings general manager is thinking.
When Webber and Peja had a conflict, they actually chose to send the 76ers that Webb sent, leaving Peja as the cornerstone of the team.
Can a scorer like Peja be the cornerstone of a team?
There are many players in the NBA. When they are role players, they will be very good championship puzzle pieces, but if they are allowed to lead the team as the core, it will definitely be a trap.
For example, Ariza was once regarded as the boss by the Rockets.
At that time, Tracy McGrady was traded by the Rockets and left the team, and Yao Ming was suffering from injuries, so the Rockets began to cultivate Ariza as the core of the team.
But Ariza's performance was shocking. After one season, Tiezha's field goal percentage was only 39.4%, the three-point shooting percentage was only 33.4%, and his average of 14.9 points and 5.6 rebounds per game disappointed the team management.
So after one year with the Rockets, Ariza was sent to New Orleans by Morey.
But after leaving the Rockets, Ariza, who was positioned as a role player, began to break out. He devoted his main energy to defense and once became one of the best defensive gates in the league.
Similar players include Iguodala, Josh Howard, and now Peja of the Kings.
Kings fans don't like Webber anymore because he can't lead the team to win a championship and always misses the ball at critical moments. Some people think that he is a bit overrated and is suspected of raking in data even when healthy.
So they sent him away, leaving another Peja who they thought had the leadership qualities of a boss.
The Kings, who won 55 games in the regular season last season and pushed the Timberwolves to Game 7, can almost be said to be a team led by Peja. In fact, Peja is the player with the most points among the Kings, not Webber.
But that doesn't mean Peja can become the boss.
In fact, Peja's current style of play cannot be regarded as the core, because he only has one offensive method, and that is three-pointers. In fact, he does not have the ability to kill the game with three-pointers.
There are 15 games left in the season, and most teams are starting to falter. The top four records in the Western Conference are close, and the records of the 6-10 teams are also close. The competition has become fierce.
Only the Suns came out on top.
In the final stage, the Suns' shortcomings also began to appear. The performance of the new players was very unstable and their ability to withstand pressure was insufficient.
Lu Yu, Marion, and Richardson became the key, helping the team win three thrilling overtime games.
The most exciting thing was the game against the SuperSonics. The two sides were tied in overtime. Lu Yu quickly counterattacked in the last 5 seconds to attract a double team and then shot the ball. Richardson hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer.
However, the Suns still lost three of their last 15 games.
The Suns won first place in the Western Conference.
There are currently only four divisions in the NBA. After the Bobcats joined in 2004, the number of teams increased to 30 and it was changed to six divisions.
Teams in the Western Conference and Eastern Conference only play two games in the regular season, and teams in the same division play four games. Teams in the same Western Conference play three or four games with opponents drawn from different divisions.
The Spurs are ranked second in the Western Conference. The SuperSonics came from behind and ranked third in the Western Conference. The Mavericks have a higher winning percentage than the SuperSonics, but they are in the same division as the Spurs, so the Mavericks are ranked fourth.
Ranked fifth is the Kings. Webber was only traded in March and has already laid a solid foundation.
The Warriors moved up one spot in the second half of the season to sixth place in the Western Conference, followed closely by the Nuggets, who ranked seventh.
The eighth place is the Grizzlies.
As for the top teams in the Western Conference last season, like the Timberwolves and Lakers, they all went home to go fishing.
The Suns' opponent in the playoffs has also been determined, the Grizzlies who contributed to the Suns this summer.
The Grizzly Boss had passed out in the toilet from crying.
