After the Florida Gators put Brett Nelson away, their offensive firepower dropped a lot. However, head coach Billy Donovan strengthened the team's defense, which allowed them to stumble into the Sweet Sixteen.
Players from both sides are warming up on the court.
Blake Step walked up to Lu Yu and said excitedly: "We will definitely win this game!"
Lu Yu glanced at him and threw the basketball in his hand: "Actually, if Mike Miller hadn't participated in the draft last year, it would have been very difficult for us to deal with Florida this year."
"You're talking about Mike Miller of the Magic?" Blake Stepp asked.
Lu Yu nodded: "Yes, he is a really big-hearted shooter. With him here, we may be shot through by our opponents at the small forward position."
Mike Miller was selected by the NBA Magic with the fifth overall pick last year. In his rookie season, Miller was selected to the Rookie First Team for his outstanding performance and was elected the best rookie player of the season.
Since Magic star Grant Hill was sidelined for almost the entire season due to injury, Miller started almost every game as Hill's substitute, averaging 11.9 points, 4 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 1.8 three-pointers per game.
The ball became the most stable scorer around Tracy McGrady.
His three-point shot is so accurate.
If Mike Miller is still on this Florida Gators team, it may not be that easy for Gonzaga to win against the opponent.
Blake Stropp was visibly unconvinced.
Lu Yu did not continue to argue with him.
In fact, Gonzaga's weakness this year is actually quite obvious. They are too weak on the front line. But coincidentally, in this year's NCAA, Gonzaga has not encountered a team with a strong front line so far.
But as March Madness progresses, it seems they are about to hit each other.
Caron Butler of Connecticut.
Duke's Shane Battier.
Maybe Arizona's Richard Jefferson and Luke Walton can count.
Regardless, they don't seem to have fully grown up yet.
Especially Richard Jefferson, whose tactical status in Arizona could only be ranked third, but the dramatic thing is that Arenas, who had the first tactical status, was only selected in the second round in 2001, and Richard
·Jefferson was selected with the 13th overall pick.
But no one knows whether this year's draft will change as Arenas completely takes over.
Especially Arenas, whose current scoring average of 27.9 points per game is higher than Lu Yu.
By the way, it's a pity that we didn't meet Joe Johnson from the University of Arkansas this year. They seemed to have gone home early.
Lu Yu glanced at the opposite team, the University of Florida, which was warming up. Without Brett Nelson, he was replaced by the former substitute small forward Major Parker. His scoring ability was average, but he excelled in tough defense. Gonzaga needed to focus on this.
The only defenders left were Udonis Haslem and Matt Bonner.
Hubert h. In the Humphrey Dome, many fans are wearing white uniforms, and the number 10 is the most popular among them. The letter "lu" has become the darling of the fans.
Lu Yu is now not only a star in Spokane, but also one of the top stars in the entire NCAA. Not only does the fans like him, but every opponent also attaches great importance to him.
"Mason, I don't need much achievements from you in terms of offense, but I must guard the No. 10 on the opposite side. The other players should help him attack. Judging from the last game between Gonzaga and Michigan, Lu Yu's
His scoring ability far exceeds our expectations. He is the offensive and defensive axis of this team. As long as we can deal with him, we will win the game."
Mason Parker listened carefully to head coach Billy Donovan's arrangements while secretly glancing at Lu Yu at the other end of the court. He had witnessed Lu Yu's severe beating of Brett Nelson in the last game, and he really didn't dare to provoke him.
Lu Yu.
How could Billy Donovan not know what Mason was worried about, but there couldn't be no one to defend him, so he could only continue: "I don't think Gonzaga's center Casey Green needs any introduction, Udonis."
give it to you."
Haslem nodded seriously.
"Matt, you are our spear in this game. The power forward position is their weak defensive link, and it is also the link where Lu Yu assists the most in defense. I will ask Major to try to pull Lu Yu to the far end to give you a chance to attack.
, you must grasp it."
Matt Bonner frowned slightly. He was not sure whether Lu Yu would give up on Mason and choose to flank him. Billy Donovan obviously knew that this would happen, but what could be done?
Expect Mason to shoot the damn basketball when he's open.
Originally, the strength of the two parties was not on the same level, and the dead horse was treated as a living horse doctor...
The game started with huge cheers.
On the first goal, Matt Bonner was flanked by Lu Yu. He passed the ball out, and then was passed in again before he staggered in.
Gonzaga offense,
As soon as Lu Yu got the ball, he was double-teamed by two people. He sighed. People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. In the past few games, he faintly felt that he was being double-teamed more and more often.
But I didn't expect this scene to be so blatant.
Double-teamed him from the very first ball.
He threw the ball to Casey Green who was catching the ball, and at the same time he quickly slipped to the baseline. Mason Parker of the University of Florida who was guarding him was blocked, and he shouted anxiously: "Lu, Lu, Lu, Lu!"
Casey Green held the ball high, his eyes always staring at Lu Yu's movement. Over there, Lu Yu had just used Zach Goode to make a pick-and-roll to shake off Brent Wright, who had switched defenses. Casey Green
Green quickly passed the ball, and Lu Yu caught the ball without anyone watching, and adjusted his shot slightly.
All the fans shouted and suppressed the MC's voice. Many people showed off to their friends: "You see, this is the number one star of our Gonzaga Bulldogs, 'Gentleman' Lu Yu!"
"
Billy Donovan shouted angrily at Mason: "You can't be blocked, you have to predict in advance, understand?"
Mason Parker was also aggrieved. Lu Yu was such a thief. He ran away after passing the ball. He didn't react at all. His teammates double-teamed him and even tried to grab him without grabbing him.
Matt Bonner backs up Zach Goode.
He glanced at the line with the corner of his eye, always paying attention to Lu Yu's movements. Lu Yu didn't seem to be coming. He seized the opportunity to push his opponent hard, then turned around and threw the ball into the basket with a small hook.
Lu Yu sprinted and stopped near the three-second zone to get rid of Mason Parker, who was following him. As soon as he got rid of his opponent, Florida Gators center Udonis Haslem pounced on him.
Lu Yu took advantage of the situation and turned around with Haslem's back.
Damn it, he was a center after all. Lu Yu felt like he was hit on the back and almost flew out when he turned around.
After turning around, Lu Yu threw the basketball to Casey Green's position under the basket.
Matt Bonner had been waiting for Lu Yu to pass the ball to Casey Green. When he saw Lu Yu showing signs of passing the ball, he immediately squeezed in front of Casey Green and prepared to steal the ball. At the same time, small forward Brent Wright also scored.
The inside line began to prepare for a double attack on Casey Green.
Lu Yu chose to pass the ball, but they correctly judged the direction of the pass and failed to judge the landing point of the pass. When they saw the basketball flying over their heads, they knew it was over.
When I turned around to look for someone, I saw Dan Dickau already standing in the bottom corner with a three-pointer.
Brent Wright immediately pounced on him, but Dan Dickau flicked his wrist and passed it to Blake Stepp at a 45-degree angle. Blake raised his hand and hit a three-pointer.
After the opening, the Gonzaga Bulldogs opened the offensive horn with two three-pointers, and the Florence Gators also used Matt Bonner to score consecutive mid-range goals.
The score is staggering.
Casey Green tried his best to grab the rebound. Before the fans had time to cheer, Lu Yu had already received the pass and quickly advanced to the basket.
Mason Parker and Brent Wright were chasing behind Lu Yu, one on the left and the other on the right. Lu Yu had already jumped to the basket in three steps. They jumped from both sides at the same time to block Lu Yu.
Lu Yu's attack was very powerful, and he clearly missed the target a lot.
The basketball hit the backboard.
Mason Parker, who was about to land, finally breathed a sigh of relief, having successfully defended against Lu Yu's attack. However, he suddenly saw that Brent Wright's face didn't look good.
At this time, the audience burst into applause.
Cheers rang out.
He looked back and saw that after the ball bounced off the backboard, a figure jumped up high to catch the ball and dunk it in. It was Gonzaga Bulldogs small forward Blake Stepp.
Seeing the smile on Lu Yu's lips, they finally understood that Lu Yu's shot just now was not a layup, but a rebound pass. Now the NBA's Jason Kidd seems to like to play this way.
Off the field, Gators head coach Billy Donovan was surprised to find——
How much time has passed before Gonzaga's No. 10 Lu Yu has improved again?
