Other teams in the league are worried about the draft, especially the Lakers. The NBA draft lottery ended on the 16th, and the Lakers won the No. 1 pick.
Fans believe this is an opportunity for the Lakers to rise. The last time the Lakers won the No. 1 pick dates back to 1982.
The Lakers won the NBA championship in 1982 with their small forward Jamaal Wilkes at the top of the league, but the forward-looking Lakers still obtained the No. 1 pick through trade and selected James Worthy.
Earlier, in the 1979 draft, the Lakers traded Goodrich from the Jazz for the No. 1 pick that year and selected the famous "Magic" Earvin Johnson.
In short, the Lakers have never failed to pick the No. 1 pick in their history. They have only missed the playoffs three times before, and what's more, they have reached the finals 28 times. Fans firmly believe that this NBA's most powerful team will rise.
Experts predict that the Lakers will definitely choose a center, and Australian player Bogut has become the most popular candidate for the No. 1 pick.
Bodog, who was originally supposed to participate in the draft this year, decided to postpone participating in the draft for a year because he saw Lu Yu's performance and worried that he would not be able to adapt to the NBA. He also hoped to go to a big city like the Lakers.
Big men in this era are extremely valuable, and international big players have benefited from Yao Ming and Lu Yu, and have begun to be favored by scouts. In Lu Yu's previous life, Bargnani also became the number one pick in 2006. I just don't know
Who will be the top pick this time, Bargnani or Bodog?
The Raptors got the second pick, the Jazz got the third overall pick, and then in order of record, the Suns got the 30th pick in the first round.
These draft picks can only be used next year.
The Suns don't have many draft picks this year, just two in total, one in the first round and one in the second round.
The Suns are planning to select someone in the first round and trade the second-round pick. This is Lu Yu's suggestion. There are too many strong players in the team, and if they choose a second-round pick, they won't be able to cultivate them. They will only waste them.
In the second round of 2005, there were guards with strong offensive abilities such as Monta Ellis and Lou Williams, but they all had to hold the ball to perform. Their defense was poor and the Suns simply did not have enough possession of the ball. This type of person
Useless.
In the second round, there was also the "Polish Hammer" Maxin Gortat, an outstanding inside man. Lu Yu remembered that he was selected by the Suns after the second round and could not log into the NBA immediately. It was not until 2008 that he completed his career.
NBA debut. The Suns traded him to the Magic, where he served as Howard's backup for several years.
If the Suns lack a backup center in the future, they can trade him to the team a few years later at a small cost. There is no need to choose now.
In addition, there were good role players in the second round such as Amir Johnson and Andre Bulayche. There were quite a few capable rookies in 2005, but the Suns didn't need any of them.
With such a luxurious lineup and no need to pay luxury tax, how could the Suns not win the championship this year?
In the second game between the Suns and the Pistons, Ben Wallace regained his feeling, and the Pistons were once again defended like a blacksmith on the outside.
Hughes and Billups shot only 36.4% and 31.6% from the field, which was terrible. Prince made 3 of 6 shots and scored 6 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, which was really unsightly.
The Suns' role players are in great shape, but the Pistons team's morale is low.
Lu Yu played the entire first half, scoring 32 points, 2 rebounds and 10 assists. His efficiency was terrifying. Under his leadership, the Suns led 73 to 47. The battle between the first place in the Western Conference and the first place in the Eastern Conference was one-sided.
Lu Yu continued to play in the third quarter. Nash and Richardson were responsible for catching the ball and shooting three-pointers. Marion and Haslem attacked the basket. The Pistons sent the twin towers, but they couldn't defend the fast break and couldn't hit the twin towers.
The offense couldn't get started, and the point difference continued to widen.
After playing for 7 minutes, Lu Yulian made sudden shots and scored 9 points and 3 assists. At this time, something unexpected happened.
When the Pistons attacked, Ben Wallace and Lu Yu ran to the three-point line. Without any warning, they suddenly hit Lu Yu's head with an elbow...
In the last round, Lu Yu passed Ben in the counterattack. He stopped at 60 degrees and feinted with the ball with both hands, causing Ben to jump up again. Then he jumped up to find a confrontation and pushed the ball out, and the ball went in.
Became 21.
After landing, Lu Yu waved his fist fiercely in celebration, which was regarded as a provocation by Ben. In addition, there was another dunk on Ben in the first half, and Ben was already furious. He made a bold move
The idea is to use flagrant fouls to "recover the field."
Lu Yu didn't pay attention to Da Ben from the beginning to the end. He thought he was just a player with a big head and a thick neck. There was nothing special about him except for his strength. In fact, Da Ben was quite dirty defensively. If he couldn't beat the opponent, he would use
Make small moves and big moves to make up for your weaknesses and prove yourself.
In Lu Yu's previous life, the defensive clips of NBA bosses were all the highlight moments of his defense. Naturally, those small moves in private would not be included in the highlights.
In order to prove his toughness, Ben Wallace even dared to elbow O'Neal, and after the elbow, O'Neal did not fight back or even fart.
He thought Lu Yu wouldn't fart either.
In this finals, he played two games, and every time he faced Lu Yu, he was very powerless, which made him feel like he was going to explode. He wanted to hit Lu Yu like that countless times.
He decided to "just elbow it" when facing a big shot like the regular season MVP!
This is a shortcut to fame for a little guy. He wants to prove that elbowing is not the exclusive domain of stars like Malone, Mutombo, and Kobe. He can also become a boxing champion!
He is the best defensive player, and the best defensive player needs to be tough.
This sneak attack was too sudden. Lu Yu was preparing to defend himself and his reaction speed was too fast to avoid it. Fortunately, Lu Yu had practiced mixed martial arts and his resistance ability was very strong. He immediately launched a counterattack without thinking.
Lu Yu only threw two punches. His left hook hit Daben in the abdomen, making him bend over, and then his right hook hit his chin.
Da Ben fell to the ground and passed out. All this took only two seconds. Lu Yu realized something was wrong only after knocking his opponent down.
This is a basketball court, not a fighting arena. It doesn't matter if you are cruel in the fighting arena, but not now.
When hitting someone, it depends on the opponent. The opponent is strong and can withstand his fists. It would be very difficult for an amateur. He hit too hard this time.
Da Ben was just a tall ordinary man, and he didn't take any precautions when he was beaten. Lu Yu panicked, if this guy was seriously injured, how many games would he have to be suspended?
Lu Yu was often fouled on the court. He controlled his emotions every time and practiced boxing, but never used fighting skills on the court. This was the first time someone deliberately elbowed him, and he fought back when he got excited.
Players from both sides gathered around, and the referee stood in the middle to separate the two teams. Lu Yu used professional fighting steps to avoid Prince and did not make any more moves. The situation was quickly controlled.
If it weren't for the fear of suspension, even if several Pistons players came together, they wouldn't be able to win over Lu Yu. He would become the NBA's boxing king.
The Pistons doctor rolled Ben's eyelids on the court and confirmed that he was in shock. He didn't know if his head was injured when he landed on the ground. He said that he could not move and stay lying down until professional first aid personnel arrived.
A slow-motion clip of the conflict between the two was shown on the stadium's big screen. Da Ben made the first move, and then Lu Yu counterattacked and knocked out his opponent. From adjusting his center of gravity to taking action, it only took a split second.
Even if the opponent made the first move, Lu Yu could not continue the game, and the referee sent him off the court. Da Ben should have been ejected for a flagrant foul, but he could not leave the court on his own.
Barkley liked to watch fights the most. When watching the video replay, he shrank back and said excitedly: "Ben picked the wrong opponent this time. He may have forgotten the video of Lu Yu's fight in the NCAA.
Everyone knows that Lu Yu is a master of fighting, but maybe too much time has passed and people have forgotten about this."
Ba Pang was a troublemaker when he was young. Fighting with people on and off the court was commonplace. He often PKed players who were taller than him. He beat Laimbeer and knocked down O'Neal.
Smith said: "Ben must have been angry after being dunked by Lu Yu. He took action when he couldn't win the match. As a result, he had never punched. Lu Yu's uppercut was too strong. I'm afraid Ben was seriously injured."
"
Barkley laughed and said: "I guess he wanted to use this method to become famous and save face for being dunked, but unfortunately the other party was obviously tougher."
The referee was forced to stop the game. The first responders came 5 minutes later. They fixed Ben's neck first, then carefully lifted him onto a stretcher and pulled him directly out of the arena and sent him to the hospital.
Lu Yu's statistics were fixed at 41 points, 3 rebounds, 13 assists and 2 steals. D'Antoni sent in new substitutes to train, and the game entered garbage time early.
At this time, people no longer care about the result of the game, and reporters who are relatively close to Phoenix are rushing here.
Even after Lu Yu was sent off, he had to attend a press conference. This was big news.
In the end, the Suns defeated the Pistons 131-96. With their star player absent, they did not suddenly become incapable of playing. Haslem, Richardson, Marion and others performed well.
Smith commented: "The Suns' style of play is indeed to restrain the Pistons. The Pistons' defensive shield is inescapable in the face of the sun's rays."
Barkley said: "Although Big Ben is pretty good and can produce good defensive data. Today he was completely suppressed by Lu Yu and was dunked by Lu Yu. It was simply impossible to watch. The head coach and owner of the Pistons should be happy in the next game.
, they got a good chance to beat the Suns."
Fans are posting on the official NBA website and major forums discussing the incident involving Lu Yu’s beating.
This is the finals. Fighting in the finals is really rare. The Chinese fans are also very angry. They think it was Ben who made the first move and Lu Yu was just defending himself.
In fact, fans from any country, including American fans, all support Lu Yu, and no one speaks for Ben Wallace. Because he made the first move after being detained, which is called a self-inflicted crime.
The last time he elbowed O'Neal, it was O'Neal who struck first, and he was barely on the right side.
O'Neal gave Ben a gentle elbow. Some fans thought it was O'Neal and Ben saying hello. Unfortunately, Ben misunderstood and gave him a hard slap.
As for why O'Neal didn't fight back? O'Neal fans said it was because he was big-hearted, and not fighting back meant he was smart. It wasn't weakness. It was the experience of veterans.
Lu Yu showed the impulsive side of a young man. He immediately fought back and sent the opponent straight to the hospital. The Internet was full of applause. Good fight! Who asked him to deliberately provoke him? Isn't this just looking for a beating?
After returning to the locker room, Lu Yu felt anxious because he knew how powerful his uppercut was.
Especially after his physical fitness was blessed by the breathing method, his strength was much greater than in his previous life.
He is very afraid of making serious mistakes in his plan, and is afraid that too many suspensions will affect the finals.
Uppercuts generally hit the target on the abdomen. If the uppercut is close, the chance is very good to hit the jaw.
Boxers are very careful about uppercuts, because just one uppercut on the jaw may determine the outcome of the game. When the person's jaw is severely injured, the head violently tilts back, and the occipital bone and spine are severely damaged.
In the event of a collision, if the force is strong enough, it can damage the nervous system, causing fainting, shock, permanent damage or even death.
When in the boxing club, the coach will tell the new students the dangers of boxing. If you want to become a master, you must first learn to take a beating, and you must know how to defend yourself so as not to be beaten to death.
Not to mention boxing, even in the performance of WWE professional wrestling, if two people do not cooperate well, they will be seriously injured.
Whether you will be seriously injured does not depend on the height and weight of the puncher, but on the strength of the blow and the opponent's ability to resist the blow. People who practice boxing regularly are more resistant to blows. Lu Yu only felt a little elbow after being hit.
There was no pain, and he didn’t fall to the ground or faint. Ben was a complete layman, he was just a player.
At the press conference, Lu Yu was the focus of the audience. The reporter's first question was bad news. "Daben was sent to the hospital and he is still awake. What do you think of this violent conflict?"
At that time, he suddenly gave me an elbow, and I responded with two punches on impulse. Here I want to apologize to all the fans for my behavior. As basketball players, we should use basketball to decide the outcome and beat people on the court.
It's wrong." Lu Yu said in the most sincere tone: "I firmly oppose violence on the court. I'm very sorry. I hope Ben is okay."
If he wants to turn a big thing into a small matter, and if a trivial matter turns into a trivial matter, Lu Yu must bow his head and admit his mistake.
If he was complacent about defeating Big Ben at this time, even if there was only a little bit of this emotion, it would be a bad thing.
He won't offend Big Ben's fans, and there probably aren't many such people, but he will offend president David Stern.
The NBA has been working hard to build a more harmonious playing environment, hoping to put an end to violence and flagrant fouls on the court. If a player is proud of hitting someone, it is a gunshot. When a star is injured or is suspended for hitting someone, fans
Who to support?
While apologizing, Lu Yu did not forget to point out one thing: it was the other party who made the first move.
The reporter asked: "Have you ever practiced kung fu or boxing before?"
"I have practiced, but I just practiced. I have never used it inside or outside the team. I just want to strengthen my body, make my physical fitness better and avoid injuries."
Lu Yu had no intention of hiding it, because he couldn't hide it. People who practice boxing will know that he is also a professional when they see the video.
What's more, he had a history of fighting when he was in college and when he first entered the NBA.
If you say anything unpleasant, you have become a habitual offender.
