"Gonzaga's tactical skills are very good. From the hand-to-hand pass after halftime, to the point guard cutting inside and then finding the open No. 10, it can be seen that they can easily think about Virginia's defense, and Virginia obviously did not
I expected that the opponent would be so aggressive... Virginia's Roger Mason tried to break through Lu Yu. Oh my God, Lu Yu stole it. Was it just such a forced steal? Blake Stepp had already rushed forward.
No one was guarding him, and Lu Yu's long pass seemed to be equipped with a navigation system, sending the ball to Blake Stepp's hands, and Blake scored a dunk!"
Gonzaga University used Lu Yu's defense to counterattack in the opening game and has scored 11 points in a row.
In just a few minutes of the game, the score has reached 11:2
After Blake Step's dunk, he was no longer so nervous. Instead, he danced and celebrated: "This bloody bloody battle is all a lie. Where did the blood come from?"
However, as Chris Williams scored the first open game score, Virginia seemed to have found its offensive sense and used Williams to beat Black to score.
Sometimes Black knew that the opponent was going to hit him, but when Williams received the ball, he was already close to the basket. At this time, his lack of strength was fully exposed, and he was almost crushed by Williams.
Blake was a little anxious.
Chris Williams used his butt to sit down on Blake, and after receiving the ball, he directly pushed away with hidden force. Blake grunted, got close to him again, and then saw the opportunity and stretched out his hand to cut the ball.
"beep!"
The bottom line referee saw Blake's actions with sharp eyes, raised his mouth and called Blake a defensive foul.
"Did I make a mistake? I made a defensive foul!" Blake complained to the referee while grabbing the ball with one hand.
He didn't even touch Chris' hair.
A pair of hands behind him hugged Blake, and with a strong force, he hugged Blake and turned him 180 degrees. Blake turned to see who was hugging him. When he saw it was captain Casey Green, he swallowed the curse words on his lips.
.
"Don't be impulsive!" Kathy Green said with a dark face, pulling on Blake.
Lu Yu also came over and grabbed Blake, hoping not to be impulsive and provoke the referee to give him another technical foul.
Blake woke up, threw the ball, and followed Lu Yu to prepare for defense.
"Send him off, you idiot!"
"Trash defense, useless guy!"
There were huge boos in the audience.
Virginia's offense failed to score, and the noise at the scene was much quieter. However, it was obvious that Blake was a little over the top, and he turned around and failed to score. Mark Foyo took advantage of the dead ball opportunity and quickly called a timeout.
During the timeout, the on-site commentator exclusively interviewed Shaquille O'Neal.
"Nice to interview you, Shaq."
Originally, the commentator wanted to interview Kobe. After all, Kobe had just played against Lu Yu two days ago and the topic was more topical. However, Kobe's expression of keeping away from strangers made him feel that there was no possibility.
"Haha, I'm happy too."
"The Lakers were last year's NBA championship team. I didn't expect that you would also come to watch the NCAA game. The game has already started a few minutes ago. Which team are you more optimistic about in this game?"
"Of course it's the Gonzaga Bulldogs." O'Neal answered without hesitation.
"Oh? Are you so sure? But the Gonzaga Bulldogs' front line seems to have encountered a little problem. Virginia's Williams is causing a lot of damage to the Bulldogs' front line."
"Yes, they did encounter problems." O'Neal replied with a smile: "But I think it's just that Gonzaga's forward line lacks experience. He should be a freshman. When he adapts to the opponent's offensive routine, as long as he can defend
With a few balls, Gonzaga will basically win this game."
He still had something to say, basketball belongs to five people, and it is impossible for Williams to win the game alone.
After all, Williams is not himself.
"As a center who has worked with many outstanding guards in the NBA, what do you think of the Gonzaga Bulldogs' guards?" the commentator asked.
O'Neal glanced in the direction of the Gonzaga Bulldogs, his eyes fell on Lu Yu, who was like Gonzaga's magic needle on the court, and said seriously: "It's great, he will be an excellent shooting guard, but
He also needs to score points to beat his opponents."
"There is absolutely no problem with his scoring ability." Kobe on the side suddenly took over and said something. The commentator quickly handed him the microphone. Kobe took the microphone and thought for a moment and said: "Gonzaga's problem now is its forward defense.
So, as a shooting guard, Lu Yu should try his best to help his teammates defend while locking down his defender. As long as he can do this, I believe Gonzaga can win tonight."
"If you try to defend like this, can you defend yourself?" the commentator asked doubtfully.
"I do this every night. If you don't believe me, ask Shaq." Kobe stopped talking and handed the microphone back.
O'Neal shrugged. It is true that Kobe wipes the front line's butt every night, but so what, is this your reason to refute me?
Forget it, this guy is actually pretty good.
At least you can win a championship with him, right?
For the Gonzaga Bulldogs, Mark Four is making emergency adjustments.
Blake Stepp was a little frustrated. He lowered his head. This was his first time playing in the top 64, but he was regarded as the team's biggest weakness and was attacked by the opponent.
"Blake, don't be discouraged." Mark Foyou comforted him, glanced around, and then said: "Obviously the opponent will catch Blake. Lu Yu, you have to try your best to help Blake defend, can you do it?"
His teammates all took a breath, because according to the original plan, Lu Yu would have to lead the bench lineup for a period of time during the rotation.
Now he has to help Blake with his defense, can he handle it?
Lu Yu didn't speak, just nodded.
Mark Foyou felt relieved when Lu Yu agreed: "Blake, you just haven't adapted to the atmosphere of March Madness. This atmosphere is like the difference between the NBA regular season and the playoffs. All we have to do is be tough.
Be tough, get tougher, let their offense hit our iron wall, let our offense tear a hole in their defensive formation!"
Lu Yu stood up and said: "No problem, leave it to us, but Blake, you don't have to pay too much attention to defense. Leave all your energy to me on offense and make bad shots of the opponent's basket. Do you understand?"
Blake Step was stunned.
"It's my fault if I can't defend myself, and it's your fault if I can't make the shot." Lu Yu said with a smile.
Black's confidence seemed to have been restored. In fact, what he was best at all along was offense, although his defense had improved under Lu Yu's training in the past few months.
Mark Foley really knows what Blake is good at, but he is just worried that Blake has lost confidence.
However, after seeing Lu Yu's two words, Blake became lively again, and he relaxed. With such a leader-level player on the court, he didn't seem to need to worry too much.
Virginia thought a breach had been made with Blake.
But for Gonzaga, wherever there is a real loophole, even if there is one, Lu Yu can fill it.
"Then it's settled, Lu Yu, you go on the field and help your teammates defend. Don't leave it all to them on the offensive end. When you have the opportunity, you have to take the shots. If they can't make the shots, you have to make timely adjustments to increase the number of shots.
Breakthrough and take action.”
Lu Yu nodded, Mark Foyou was good at this, giving him a lot of independent decision-making rights on the court.
The pause ends.
Lu Yu received a pass from Dan Dickau and directly changed direction to get rid of Roger Mason's defense. Without waiting for Casey Green to come up and delay, Lu Yu went directly to the inside.
Virginia forward Chris Williams came from one side to help defend. This was the first time the aces of the two teams collided head-on.
Lu Yu suddenly changed direction with his hips very quickly, causing Chris Williams to quickly block his change of direction. Who knew that at this time, Lu Yu directly changed direction in front of his body and shook Williams away.
Casey Green blocked Virginia's center, allowing Lu Yu to easily lick the basket with his low hand and send the ball into the basket.
This was a wonderful breakthrough that made the on-site commentators excited.
"Such a breakthrough move is so smooth. The simple killer change of direction reminds me of Tim Hardaway in the NBA. Although Lu Yu's explosive power is slightly lacking, his flexibility to make such a move is obviously more
Beauty.”
Kobe, who was sitting on the sidelines, saw the killer change direction, which reminded him of the No. 1 pick in the same year as him, the little man from Philadelphia, Allen Iverson.
However, Lu Yu is obviously a bigger version of Iverson.
He seems to be able to turn over and shoot behind his back,
Well, it's very similar to myself.
So who does Lu Yu look like?
Lu Yu resisted Roger Mason, leaving him with no chance to take action. Roger Mason completely lost the arrogance of trying to score points on Lu Yu before the game. Lu Yu's defense made him uncomfortable, so he could only follow the established rules.
Play the ball to Williams.
Williams followed suit and was just about to hit Black, but when he was shooting, Lu Yu appeared out of nowhere.
With Lu Yu's assistance, Williams' shot missed the basket.
Lu Yu held the ball in a high position, made a crotch dribble, and then made a quick change of direction in front of his body. This time he was heavily blocked by the opponent, but this time they were fooled.
"I'm in charge of defense, you're in charge of offense!"
Lu Yu shouted and flicked his wrist. The basketball whizzed past the defensive player's ears and passed to the bottom corner. Blake Stepp received the ball and looked at the three-point line under his feet, his eyes firm and confident.
