Lu Yu did not receive any money from Anne Hathaway.
And told her not to listen to Scarlett so much in the future, and it would be best to stay away from Scarlett Johansson.
Next, Lu Yu may not have time to be distracted and must focus all his energy on the game, because their next opponent is Duke University, a famous university in NCAA history.
Mark Foyou has been watching the Duke University game video, and his hair is standing straight up while watching it, and the top of his already sparse middle-aged head is almost gone.
He had to admit that Duke University was indeed the strongest team in this Final Four.
If the Gonzaga Bulldogs cannot prepare well before the game, losing will be inevitable.
In the morning, Mark Foyou arranged for the players to do physical training and a 5v5 confrontation. In the afternoon, he arranged to analyze the opponent's video with the players.
You cannot pull your hair out alone.
As the sun set, a ray of setting sun shone in through the glass outside the arena and fell on the floor. Lu Yu and his teammates walked into the tactical analysis room. Mark had already turned on the projector. At this time, the last Duke game was playing on the curtain.
University vs. University of Pittsburgh game.
Duke won the game 78:59.
Duke University's first-year freshman Jay Williams scored 19 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists. There are more than four players in the team who scored in double figures, while the highest scoring player at the University of Pittsburgh only had 12 points.
It can be seen from this point that the University of Pittsburgh was completely suppressed by Duke University.
After the players arrived, Mark Foyo motioned for everyone to watch the game video.
In the first few minutes of the game, the University of Pittsburgh kept trying to attack Duke's defense, especially the University of Pittsburgh's leading scorer, Adam Solo, who would go straight to the basket every time he got the ball.
It's a pity that he met Sean Battier, who is best at defending the perimeter.
Soro's shots missed the basket again and again.
"Batier's defense is terrible."
"Who can score against him?"
"I feel like his defense is more fierce than Lu Yu's."
"Fortunately I don't have to face him."
All the players were shocked by Battier's defense. Lu Yu secretly sighed. This was just Battier's routine operation, not to mention that Battier also had a good shot.
Battier made four three-pointers in this game.
He suddenly remembered the previous one-on-one with Kobe Bryant at Madison Square Garden in New York. Even Naochi hated Battier's defense. Although Battier was only a college player now, his defense had already begun.
It is a rudimentary line of defense that is difficult for other teams to break through.
At this time, Mark Foyo pressed pause.
"As you can see, Duke captain Sean Battier's defense will cause us a lot of trouble in terms of defensive timing and defensive awareness, especially since our team's offense is mostly launched from the outside. This
It is equivalent to strangling our offensive firepower directly at the source."
Mark Feu took a pen to describe Duke University's defensive formation: "What troubles me the most is that their entire team's defensive rotation is very good. With such rotation ability, there is no second team in the entire NCAA...
"
The screen moved slightly. This time Battier was passed by Soro, but the players on both wings immediately rotated around, with almost no stagnation, and a perfect seamless connection.
Being able to do such a defensive rotation shows that they must have done a lot of defensive training, and it is high-quality defensive training.
Mark Foyo summed it up: "In my opinion, Duke is almost an enhanced version of Gonzaga."
Duke University also has their offensive and defensive core, but they split the offensive and defensive core into two players. The offensive core is Jay Williams and the defensive core is Shane Battier.
The core pressure of Gonzaga's offense and defense rests entirely on Lu Yu alone.
What's more, they have Boozer who is much better inside than Casey Green and Zach Goode.
Then the team began to discuss how to crack Duke's defense. In fact, it was more about how to prevent Lu Yu from being restricted by Shane Battier.
Everyone's opinion is to use the zipper tactic to let Lu Yu get rid of Battier and launch an attack. However, Lu Yu is noncommittal about this suggestion. He understands that Battier will stick to him like a piece of dog skin plaster, and wants to
If you throw him away, you may be tired and vomit blood.
"I think we can try a simpler tactic." Lu Yu said.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, a simpler tactic?
If you can't win with complex tactics, what's the use of simple tactics?
Mark Foyo was also stunned for a moment, then seemed to think of something, and said thoughtfully: "Yes, the simpler, the more Lu Yu can save his energy. Other teams think Duke is too complicated.
So we tried our best to pull, but fell into Duke's trap. The most important thing is that we have a core offensive and defensive player that other teams don't have, and that is Lu Yu."
Other players still don't get it.
Mark Foyou could only continue to explain to the players: "When playing pick-and-rolls, as long as Duke uses man-to-man tactics, we will continue to play high-post pick-and-rolls and let Lu Yu use a simple method to switch defenders. It is best to directly play small
Play big, when Lu Yu breaks through, the outsiders must be ready to catch the ball and shoot."
"But what if the opponent plays a zone defense?" Blake Stepp asked.
The NCAA allows zone defense. Whether it is an elementary zone defense such as two-three or three-two, or one-to-one four-way rotation zone defense, these are rules allowed by the league. Duke University has also used them, so Black asked such a question.
.
"They don't know how to play zone defense."
Lu Yu shook his head and said: "At least we won't play zone defense for a long time, because our shooting ability from the outside is obviously better than theirs. They will not give up their man-to-man marking and use zone defense to let us shoot from the outside."
"What about expanding the defense?"
"After expanding the defense, the zone defense is like a sieve that leaks rice, and the loopholes will become bigger and bigger."
"I understand, as long as they dare to join the defense, I will shoot them to death."
Blake said excitedly.
Mark Foyou smiled: "But they don't need zone defense, but we have to use it. We not only have to use zone defense, but also use ordinary zone defense and one-to-one four-zone switching tactics."
One-to-four targeting is a tactic often used in European leagues.
Jay Williams is a strong RBI point guard with the ball on the outside for Duke University. Although he plays as a point guard, the task of defending him will definitely fall on Lu Yu.
He can burst, shoot, and pass.
As a point guard, Jay Williams is basically a hexagonal warrior. Otherwise, he would not have been the second overall pick in 2002. Without Yao Ming, he would have been a definite candidate for the top pick.
In other words, Lu Yu must bite him to death on the defensive end and not give him a chance to break through to the inside.
Because once he breaks through Lu Yu's defense, the teammates behind him will choose to shrink. After shrinking, Battier on the outside will lead a group of shooters to throw the ball in without mercy.
Coach K will probably also choose to use pick-and-roll tactics.
Fortunately, the pick-and-roll tactics are less effective when faced with zone defense.
What worries Lu Yu the most is Duke's big man, Carlos Boozer. As long as Boozer doesn't blow up, Gonzaga has no chance in this game.
After the sun sets, the sky becomes dim.
Mark Foyou lowered his head and glanced at his mobile phone, then looked at the sky outside, turned off the projector, and asked everyone to go back and reflect on what they saw today. Tomorrow the team will conduct special training for these tactics.
Lu Yu is packing things.
Mark Foyou came over and said, "Lu, there is someone who wants to meet you. He has been waiting for you for a long time..."
Lu Yu was startled.
"Who?"
Mark Foyou looked around and whispered: "In the last friendly match with the Chinese National Youth Team, the coach of the National Youth Team was that Wang..."
"Wang Fei?"
"Yes, that's him."
"What does he want from me?"
Lu Yu frowned slightly.
Mark Foyou said with a smile: "I don't think he is looking for you. He looks more like a donor, because he came with the Mavericks coach Don Nelson."
