Basketball starts with breathing

Chapter 146 It's just five gangsters [First update, please subscribe]

Compared to Marcus Fetzel, the proud disciple of the head coach, and Ron Mercer, the team veteran.

Brad Miller, like Lu Yu, just joined the Chicago Bulls.

In other words, Miller has no strength, but he has no footing.

Therefore, it is in the best interest for Lu Yu that he is in the position.

After Lu Yu came on the court, countless applause broke out, mixed with messy Chinese and English shouts, Lu Yu and his teammates standing in a row clapped one by one, walked to the end of the team and stood there.

For some reason, Brad Miller, who also appeared in the United Center for the first time, had an illusion that the applause of a prospective All-Star player who had already made a name for himself in the league was not as violent as when Lu Yu was on the court. .

The Grizzlies wore white away jerseys, and their big center Lorenzen Wright was preparing to jump the ball.

Originally, the Grizzlies' white jersey should be used at home, but because the Bulls' home jersey is red in this game, they can only wear white jerseys on the road.

The Bulls also want to use this retro classic red Bulls uniform to announce the return of the king of the Bulls in the new season.

Of course, when the official game, their home jersey is still white.

Wright and Miller jump the ball. Miller is two centimeters taller than Wright, but the jump ball is not standing still. Who has longer arms, the speed of the bounce is the most critical factor. Miller is obviously no match. Wright, the basketball was called by Wright.

Jason Williams took the ball and took the ball across the half court with strong steps, and it was Lu Yu, the famous rookie of the Chicago Bulls this year, who was defending him.

Jason Williams nicknamed White Chocolate.

He is particularly fond of Lu Yu, because Lu Yu used an elbow pass he used in the All-Star Game in the NCAA game. He thinks Lu Yu is the kind of spiritual player.

Like to like, but on the court, they are opponents.

Williams' official height is 185cm, which is much shorter than Lu Yu. Lu Yu knows that his passing has always been elusive, so he has no idea of ​​​​relying on his quick reaction to steal.

However, Williams did not pass the ball, but pressed his shoulder to break through after shaking twice in a row. When Lu Yu just leaned against his body, Williams made an emergency stop and then passed the ball from Lu Yu's shoulder.

His passing was too weird. The sudden stop and sudden passing of the ball caused Lu Yu, as a defender, to have no time to react.

Also too late to react was Marcus Fezel.

Pau Gasol, who cut from the elbow, got the ball and went straight to the basket, leaving Marcus Fetzel far behind.

"Brad, help defend!" Lu Yu was standing outside the three-point line at this time, just in time to hear his head coach Floyd shouting from the sidelines.

Lu Yu glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw Brad Miller reluctantly made it up.

It’s over.

Lu Yu secretly sighed, Gasol's passing is not bad at all, Miller is making up defense at this time, unless Marcus Fetzel can be rotated to Lorenzen Wright in time, otherwise...

Before Lu Yu could think about it, he saw Gasol throw a high ball and the basketball passed over Miller's head, only to hear a "bang", Wright had already hung on the basket and scored a dunk.

2:0
It seems that this year's Grizzlies have joined Gasol and Shane Battier, and the entire offense has changed a little.

This time the defense is not on Miller's head, and Marcus Fetzel can only be blamed for his poor defense.

Gasol has already shown his power, and the rest is up to Shane…

……

Lu Yu received Miller's serve and took the ball over the centerline.

Williams clapped his hands and said, "Hey boy, I heard you stole my elbow pass, let me see what else you can do?"

"That's not called stealing."

Lu Yu smiled, and suddenly a quick forward change was made to break through to Williams' left hand. Williams' soles were not slow, and he quickly retreated, but unfortunately collided with Miller.

Wright and Williams switched defenses directly. After coming to the penalty area with Lu Yu, they suddenly found that Lu Yu looked back at the moon and threw the ball out. Miller received the ball at a high position and ignored Williams' defense and shot.

Swish!
2:2 level.

This kind of pick-and-roll combination is the most suitable way for Miller. Miller originally played high positions and used shooting as his main scoring method. The mid-to-long-range shots in front of the basket were particularly accurate, often forcing the opponent's center to follow the defense and thus empty the penalty area.

Using shot fakes to trick opponents into driving layups is also his usual trick.

Not to mention that he also has a decent three-pointer.

However, the ability of back-to-the-basket singles is low, and it is rarely used in the game.

Lu Yu understands his technical characteristics, so he chooses the most comfortable way to play.

……

Turning around, Williams broke through Lu Yu abruptly. Facing the help of Ron Mercer, he threw the ball directly to the bottom corner, where Shane was already waiting.

Lu Yu shook his head with a wry smile. With his proud defense, it was still difficult for him to lock down his opponent with the breakthrough of the league's veteran point guard.

That's the difference between the NCAA and the NBA.

All players who can play in this league are the best basketball players in the world.

However, Williams' defense was worrying. After the two rounds, Lu Yu felt that it was very easy to break through him, and then Lu Yu stepped into the Grizzlies penalty area at will like visiting his own garden.

Every time he went in, he had to find Lorenzen Wright.

Whenever Wright comes up, he's a hit or lob to pass the ball to Miller.

In just a few minutes, Miller was already having a blast, scoring nine points in a row, including a top arc three-pointer.

Ron Mercer was silent. He had a hard time playing and never had a chance to catch the ball. Shane was like a dog skin plaster. Even if he barely caught the ball, he missed the basket a few times. .

Marcus Fetzel made a few shots and roared after making them.

Two days ago, Fezel got a tattoo of Jesus holding up the American flag on his right calf, and wrote on the side: Some people hate you, but God loves you.

Used to pay homage to the disaster on the 11th of last month.

Lu Yu couldn't figure it out. He really couldn't understand this tattoo culture. The most incomprehensible thing was that when Fezel was injured on the court, he would use new tattoos to relieve and distract his injuries. Pain.

Last season, Fetzel only got a chance to start when Brand was sidelined by injury, but he made 50 frantic shots in three games and only hit 12 goals in total. Behind Rand, Fezel gradually walked towards a more lost self.

This season, he wants to rise again.

But his offense is obviously not very efficient. The worst thing is to return to the defensive end. He can't guard Pau Gasol at all, knowing that Pau Gasol is just a rookie.

If it wasn't for Floyd, who used to be Fezel's college head coach, Lu Yu couldn't think of the reason why the Bulls selected him with the fourth overall pick last year.

Isn't it delicious to choose Tekoglu?

Being asked by a rookie on his head, Lu Yu really couldn't think of what face he would have to roar like that.

Floyd didn't look good when he sat on the sidelines. Although it was only a preseason game, Fetzel's defense was too disgusting, and Ron Mercer's offense was not so good in the Pacific Ocean, right? ?
He glanced at the game time, six minutes had passed in the first quarter.

Drew saw the head coach stand up and hurriedly sat upright as if he was on call at any time. He saw that the score was 19:17 and the Bulls were still two points behind. Obviously, the head coach was not satisfied.

"Change me, change me!" he shouted in his heart.

Floyd glanced at the bench: "Trenton, Ron, you are ready to play."

Trenton was stunned when he heard Floyd's words. He never thought that it was himself or Artest who was on the court.

Are they both at small forward positions?

Floyd's subsequent explanation cleared his doubts: "Trenton replaces Fred, you play a shooting guard, but you have to disproportionately defend Williams on the opposite side and let Lu Yu save his energy, understand? ?"

In fact, he has been watching the player Trenton Hassel for a long time.

Strong defense, lack of offensive means.

The most important thing is that his height is only 196cm, which is even a little shorter than Lu Yu, but he played the small forward position in college, so he has always been the third round of the small forward position in the Bulls.

However, Floyd's idea is that Hoiberg's shooting is enough, but it distracts Lu Yu too much on the defensive end.

With Trenton Hassell on the court, the team's perimeter threat goes down, so bringing in Ron Artest makes up for the lack of perimeter shooting.

In addition, Artest especially sees that his brain is not easy to use, but his shooting percentage is unexpectedly good.

Soon, in the applause of the fans, Hoiberg and Ron Mercer were replaced. Hoiberg was very relaxed. He was originally a pure shooter, and he also knew what his weaknesses were. The starting position is not mandatory.

And Hassel's face is not very good. Last season, he was the team's second scorer. Although the efficiency is not high, he does not think that he will be attacked by mediocre means and can only shoot three-pointers from the corner. Tester replaced.

No, the team should need my offense, right?
If Floyd knew what he was thinking, he would probably spit out the corner of his mouth with disdain: "The shooting percentage is not even 45%, I need your ass!"

However, in the end he was not willing to replace his beloved disciple Marcus.

With Hassell and Artest on the court, things changed on the court.

Although Trenton Hassell is only a rookie, his task on the court is very simple, that is, to entangle Williams, not to score, and not to let his opponent score, so that Lu Yu can finally let go Offensive!

After halftime, Lu Yu hoisted the ball to Miller to help him, and then started to run empty-handed, while Artest on the other side was already in ambush in the bottom corner.

Seeing that Williams missed Lu Yu, Shane could only retract the inside line to assist in defense. Who knew that Artest suddenly shot a cold arrow and made a three-point shot, which overtook the score.

And because of the presence of two defensive giants.

The Grizzlies' offense is stuck in constipation, and the only way may be to pass the ball to Gasol. After all, the Bulls still have a colander, Marcus Fetzel, who loves tattoos.

In the last few minutes of the first quarter, Marcus Fezel was replaced and rested.

At the same time, Brad Miller, the big white bear who was tired of running, was replaced at the same time. He is now the highest scoring player of the Bulls. When he walked off the court, the audience stood up and applauded and shouted MVP!

Miller felt respected, and he felt that his boss's path was getting smoother.

Of course, he would like to thank Lu Yu.

They were replaced by veteran Charles Oakley and rookie Tyson Chandler!
The Grizzlies fell behind and obviously did not intend to replace the main lineup. They wanted to recover the score in the last few minutes.

However, they quickly discovered that the Bulls, who were replaced by the bench, became stronger?

The Bulls head coach Floyd and assistant coach Cartwright, who were sitting on the sidelines, looked at each other and both saw surprises in each other's eyes.

Where are these five players, five gangsters!
