Basketball starts with breathing

Chapter 128 This is a problem

The next day, Lu Yu came to the basketball hall.

This is the Chicago Bulls practice facility, yes, the one used by Rodman and Carmen.

Entering the stadium, I found that in addition to Cartwright, there were several black players in training uniforms.

Lu Yu didn't know it.

Cartwright clapped his hands and called everyone over: "Hey guys, I'll be your coach for the Rocky Mountain Summer League in a few days, and you'll be our focus. Let's introduce ourselves to each other."

One of the black players was the first to say: "My name is Sean Lampley, this year's 45th overall pick, please take care of everyone."

Sean Lampley is 201cm tall and weighs 100kg. He is a small forward. Among the four Bulls players who represented the Bulls in the summer league this year, he is the only forward position. Even against Lu Yu and several other players, he has no position. Competitive relationship, so he is the most enthusiastic of several people.

"Trenton Hassel, combo guard."

After Lu Yu heard the introduction of the player on the right, he glanced at him subconsciously, but it was obvious that Hassel was not enthusiastic about him, probably because his position overlapped with Lu Yu, and the two needed to compete for playing time.

Trenton Hassel was selected by the Bulls with the No. 1 overall pick in the second round this year and just fell out of the first round, which made him very unhappy.

Lu Yu remembered him, a very good defensive player, who often caused the opponent to make mistakes with his candy-like defense.

Although his stealing statistics are not very eye-catching, he is still an indispensable defensive player in the team.

The downside is that Hassel doesn't have much on offense, taking few shots per game and never averaging more than 10 points in his nine-year career.

It was Lu Yu's turn to introduce himself.

"Hello everyone, my name is Lu Yu, please take care of everyone."

The other three players guessed that he was the No. [-] pick this year from his skin color, but he seemed to be nothing but good-looking.

But they also know that Lu Yu, who can be traded by the Bulls with Elton Brand, will definitely not be a generalist.

Especially Hassel, looking at Lu Yu's eyes full of hostility.

The last player is not tall, and if Cartwright hadn't been on the side, he should have shown impatience.

"My name is Khalid Al Amin, point guard for the Bulls."

He emphasized the word point guard.

It's just a little embarrassing to say that, after all, a player with a formal contract is going to be reduced to the point of playing the summer league with their rookies.

Armin was a second-round pick last year. He averaged 18.7 minutes per game for the Bulls last season, but only got 6 points, 1.6 rebounds, and 2.9 assists.

On the field, Amin's data is not excellent, but his round body, coupled with the headband on his head, still makes people memorable.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the belief of Amin. As a devout Musi disciple, there are only 4 people in the alliance besides him.

The reason why he will participate in this year's summer league is mainly because he is too short.

With an official height of 178cm, he actually doesn't even seem to have a height of 175cm. It is impossible to gain a foothold in the league by attracting attention from things other than ball skills. Due to his height defect, he has been targeted on the field.

A.J. Guyton, whose average per game is not as good as his, doesn't have to participate in this summer league.

He has been with the team for a year. Although at first glance, Lu Yu and Hassel have the height of a striker, in theory, they should not compete with him for the job of a backup point guard, but who can say for sure?
Cartwright glanced at him casually, thinking that this guy just feels good about himself.

The team's other rookie this year, Tyson Chandler, did not appear on the roster for this summer league because he was on leave.

Today's three rookies have to test their shots, which are mainly divided into two categories, catch basketball at various points beyond the three-point line and mid-range catch and shoot.

Sean Lampley stepped back, and to be honest, he didn't have the confidence to shoot.

Trenton Hassell's shooting is the same, but there is no way. If Lu Yu is allowed to shoot first, he will be under more pressure, so he can only stand up and start the shooting test.

Hassell's shooting is really average, hitting 67 three-pointers and 79 mid-range shots, which is substandard.

However, Cartwright knew that Hassel's strength was defense, so he didn't have high requirements for his shooting percentage, and then looked at Lampley. Lampley knew that he couldn't escape, so he could only start the test.

When Lu Yu saw the shape of his shot, he knew that this guy was not good at shooting.

As expected, Lampley only hit 51 three-pointers and 73 mid-range shots. As a forward, his defense is not good enough. This shooting percentage is simply terrible.

Cartwright didn't say anything, indicating that Lu Yu could start the shooting test.

At this moment, Al Amin came over and saw the shooting of the first two rookies so bad, he suddenly had the desire to express.

"Hey Bill, can I try it?" Armin asked.

Cartwright frowned slightly. He called Amin over today, just because there would be a 2V2 confrontation test for a while, and there were not enough manpower, but since Amin wanted to test, he had no reason to refuse.

The test begins.

Al Amin's shooting ability is good. He hit 40 three-pointers in a row at the beginning, and it didn't start to break until the 41st, but as he shot more and more, he lost more and more.

The final score was 100 hits out of 85.

The mid-range is similar, with 83 hits.

Compared with the other two rookies, he was a lot stronger, which made him proudly walk down with his chin up.

Sean Lampley looked envious. If he has this shooting ability, he must be sure to stay in the Bulls.

And Trenton Hassell looked disdainful, "What's the use of just being able to shoot, when it comes to the court, your mother who I can guard against doesn't even know you."

"Okay, Lu, it's your turn." Cartwright said to Lu Yu.

The staff was ready, and Lu Yu started shooting.

Take the ball, bend your knees, and shoot, all in one go.

Swish!
hit.

follow closely,

Swish!
Swish!
Swish!
one by one.

The three people sitting below stared blankly. After a while, Lu Yu won sixty or seventy in a row?

It wasn't until No.90 two that Lu Yu's shot finally went wrong.

Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, the hit rate was too terrifying.

Cartwright said, "Okay, no need to vote, that's it."

Lu Yu felt that it was a pity, after all, he still wanted to hit a hundred, or at least let him finish all 100 shots, and hit 99.

Cartwright looked at the three people off the court and at Lu Yu. Although he already knew Lu Yu's strength, he still sighed.

It seems that Lu Yu, who can get the MOP, is more than a lot stronger than others.

Next was the 2V2 test. Lu Yu showed his excellent ball-handling skills. He always had a way to create opportunities for himself by making breakthroughs such as changing direction fakes, stepping back, and making quick stops.

In the face of double-teaming, he can also pass excellent offense very well.

You must know that Lu Yu faced many opponents in the NCAA.

The most important thing is on the defensive end. Lu Yu's performance was even more eye-catching. Under Lu Yu's defense, Amin even seemed to stumble a little while dribbling, and was stolen by Lu Yusheng several times.

It's just that the better Lu Yu performed, the more entangled Cartwright became.

Especially after Lu Yu showed his excellent passing ability.

Should Lu Yu be the point guard, or should Lu Yu be the shooting guard?
This is a problem.

　On the first day of going to Sanjiang, you can't be ashamed of sports classification, ask for collection, ask for recommendation ticket, ask for monthly pass!
