Basketball starts with breathing

Chapter 152 I want the ball! [The first update, please subscribe]

Just after Lu Yu dribbled the ball, he found that Marcus Fetzel looked very bad. He was always called by his opponents as long as he was on the court. Every time there was a meeting in the team, although his teacher Freud did not say anything about him What, but the eyes looking at him are always full of sorrow.

How could he bear it.

As soon as he played today, he was deducted by Nowitzki directly after the breakthrough.

The preseason, big brother, do you want to lose face when you play like this?
In fact, I really don't blame him. The starting lineup that usually plays is the current one, and Lu Yu and Shatai don't need to ask about their defense. They are definitely the top three in the team. Although Brad Miller is a bit inferior, he With such a tall height and a sturdy body, ordinary people can't bully him.

The ones most likely to be bullied are him and Hoiberg.

The key problem is that Hoiberg is an honest person. Once he is bullied, he immediately raises his hand like the coach to signal that he can't do it, and hurry up to move the rescue.

At this time, coach Floyd will also be a close uncle and replace Trenton Hassell to make up for the pressure on the defensive line.

But Marcus Fetzel is different, he wants to prove himself, especially after Elton Brand is gone this season, he has to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

But wanting to seize the opportunity is one thing, and being able to seize it is another.

In today's league, in the position of power forward, there are so many masters. It is almost impossible not to be named. Even the Grizzlies rookie Pau Gasol can name him in the game, which shows his defensive strength. Not really.

Not to mention, the German tank Nowitzki was encountered today.

He wanted to get his face back, but he was not good on the defensive end, it was on the offensive end, so as soon as he stepped into the penalty area, he started a hand-to-hand fight with Nowitzki. , directly holding Fezel behind him, Fezel exerted all his strength to press Nowitzki behind him, and then...

The two fell to the ground together.

The referee blew the whistle and gave a foul to both sides. The two of them spat out trash talk face to face. No one would let the other. Lu Yu's head hurt when he saw it - don't spray it, you guys are fighting!

As a result, of course it didn't fight.

The game continued, but it seemed that the smell of gunpowder on the scene was already strong, and the actions of the two teams were getting bigger and bigger. Lu Yu dribbled the ball high and broke through Nash, but Nash was fast and followed Lu Yu. Lu Yu made a quick stop. The center of gravity was pulled back, and then he was ready to shoot in the middle distance. Nowitzki hurriedly made it up. Lu Yuyan followed his hand, and with a flick of his wrist, the basketball was directly shoved into the hands of Fezer under the basket.

Fezel pulls the onion in the dry land, and barely deducts one!
After the buckle, he let out a roar and vented his dissatisfaction towards Nowitzki.

Floyd, who was on the sidelines, looked embarrassed: "Return to defense! Hurry up and get back to the defense!"

Nowitzki ignored him at all and served the ball directly. Nash trotted with the ball all the way, and Lu Yu followed him closely. Just after halftime, Nash directly slammed the ball to the empty Nowitz. base.

At this time, Fezel had just arrived from the backcourt.

Lu Yu: "It's all over, what are you doing here? It's better to stand in place to save some energy."

However, it has to be said that the Mavericks' attack speed is really fast, hardly giving the opponent a chance to breathe. After a set of attacks, it will hardly exceed 10 seconds. The attack time of 24 seconds is completely redundant for them.

Nowitzki made the top [-]-pointer.

The score came to 5:4
Don Nelson walked over to Wang Zhizhi and glanced at Wang Zhizhi who was watching the game carefully.

"When you are off the court, you should pay attention to the actions of the players on the court and the way they handle the ball, especially Dirk's many details, which are things you need to learn."

Wang Zhizhi looked up at Old Nelson, then nodded, and turned back to continue watching the game.

Don Nelson sighed and said: "In fact, sometimes off the court you can better observe the situation on the court and the rhythm of the game, which is why many famous NBA coaches are only third-rate players, and they spend a lot of time on the bench. , they can only pass the time by analyzing the game."

Wang Zhizhi was shocked, what does this mean?
He hurriedly looked back at Don Nelson in surprise.

Don Nelson smiled and said: "But there is an exception to this kind of player, who can analyze the situation and rhythm of the game on the court."

"Oh?"

The stone in Wang Zhizhi's heart fell, and he asked, "What kind of player?"

Don Nelson looked at Lu Yu, who had messed up the Mavericks' formation on the court, and shook his head helplessly: "It's your compatriot, that kid named Lu Yu, what a pity..."

Wang Zhizhi vaguely guessed what he was regretting.

But, is Lu Yu really as powerful as Nelson said?

Wang Zhizhi has never played against Lu Yu. Although they have trained together, they have never met on the court. Some things are not profound just from watching videos and off the court. You still need to stand on the court to really understand them.

Soon, amid the cheers of the fans, Wang Zhizhi replaced Juwan Howard and appeared on the court as a center.

"Fans and friends, Wang Zhizhi is on the field. With 3 minutes left in the first quarter, Wang Zhizhi was sent to the field by the head coach. This is a normal rotation time. Don Nelson did not disrupt his deployment because it was a Chinese game. .” Sun Yiping said.

"Yes, the Mavericks are following their steps, but the Bulls have made some adjustments to satisfy the Chinese fans."

Zhang Weiping smiled and said: "Let's see, Lu Yu was left on the court, replaced by point guard Bryce Drew, small forward is still Ron Artest, and power forward is replaced by Charles Oakley, center for this year's No. [-] pick, Tyson Chandler."

Floyd is also rare in this lineup.

And Lu Yu also returned to the shooting guard position after a long absence.

As for the reason?

Floyd recalled a conversation two days earlier...

……

Lu Yu has been the team's main point guard for a while, which caused dissatisfaction with last season's main point guard Brees Drew.

Before the regular season started, this dude found head coach Floyd and asked for more ball possession.

Compared to him, the team's other point guard, A.J. Guyton, is much more honest. Maybe he accepted his fate, or he was convinced by Lu Yu. Anyway, he was absolutely honest and would not fight.

Bryce Drew was the starter last season, and now he has become a substitute. Even if he plays, he does not have the ball. The ball is in the hands of Jamal Crawford and Ron Mercer. How can he Can you bear it?
After Floyd heard Drew's complaints, he asked impatiently: "Brace, your appeal is to have more ball possession and play longer, right?"

"Of course, I don't care if I'm a starter or not, I only care if I can contribute to the team, but coach, I need playing time to prove myself." Drew didn't directly say that he wanted to make trouble this time. For the starting position, firstly, he wasn't sure whether he could win over Lu Yu, and secondly, he didn't want to be a cancer in the coach's eyes.

His request was to play longer and not play with Jamal Crawford and Ron Mercer, the two disruptors.

In short, he wants the ball.

Floyd smiled and said: "Your request is not excessive. You can only prove your strength if you give you enough ball rights, but your contract is about to expire. Do you understand what I mean?"

Drew nodded. The reason why he is so eager is that the expiring contract is a very important reason. He must perform well this season before a team is willing to give him a big contract.

Floyd continued: "Lu Yu is a player with great potential, he has more training value than you, I don't think you will deny this, I think you can understand the reason why I let Lu Yu start, and you , even if you play, the team will not give you a big contract next year, because you know very well that you are not in the team's future plan."

Of course Drew knew that since Lu Yu came, he knew that he only had one season with the Bulls, and the team could not give up training Lu Yu for himself.

After clarifying the interest relationship between them, Freud just smiled. This is what he is best at. Make the interest relationship clear. As long as your requirements do not exceed my bottom line, we can all talk.

Floyd's tone was also very mild, but Drew could hear the threat in his words. If Drew continued to make trouble unreasonably, there would only be one ending, and he would be cut by the Bulls because he was not in the Bulls' future plan, so there was He is not as insignificant as he is.

If he doesn't finish the season with a stellar performance, his NBA career will be over.

Drew is only here to fight for the ball, he is not mentally retarded and will not do things that cut his own way: "Coach, I think I can play point guard and Lu Yu can score better, and his scoring ability is also very strong, right? "

"of course."

Floyd smiled and said, "I know you may be unhappy in your heart, but letting Lu Yu play at point guard is a determined thing, but I will also give you a chance. In the next few preseason games, Let’s start with the China game, I will let you have the ball and give you more opportunities to perform. As for whether you can grasp it or not, it is up to you.”

"Thank you."

Drew had no choice but to agree.

After Brace Drew left, assistant coach Cartwright asked, "You gave him the ball in the China game, did you really let Lu Yu play without the ball?"

"No, to be precise, Lu Yu just returned to the shooting guard position." Floyd said lightly.

"Isn't that the same thing? How can Drew play a point guard and Lu Yu can play a shooting guard? I can't think of any other way for him to play without the ball."

Suddenly, Cartwright saw Floyd's inscrutable smile, as if he had guessed something: "So, you did it on purpose?"

"Of course, with a few preseason games left, just let Drew play."

Floyd said with a smile: "Let him see his own strength and be honest in the future... As for Lu Yu, he needs to return to the position of shooting guard, and let all teams think that we haven't determined Lu Yu yet. future direction.”

In fact, Floyd also wanted to test Lu Yu's temperament. If Lu Yu and Drew also wanted to grab the ball, he would definitely teach Lu Yu a lesson.

In this team, the ball can only be given by the coach, and no player can steal it!

At this time,

On the court, Artest subconsciously sent the ball to Lu Yu, interrupting Floyd's thoughts on the incident two days ago...
