Basketball starts with breathing

Chapter 158 Get up and score [First update, please subscribe]

The Pacers attacked. Reggie Miller and O'Neal Jr. played a pick-and-roll in the middle. Miller dribbled the ball in and then scored the ball to the middle. There was a dislocation on the field.

20:18.

Little O'Neal has a real height of 211cm and a wingspan of 226cm. If such a big player makes a mid-range jumper, the defender has no choice but to make small moves to interfere.

The Bulls attacked. Just after halftime, Lu Yu found that the defender in front of him had become Reggie Miller. After Lu Yu changed direction, he found that he didn't get rid of Miller, and made an emergency stop and passed the ball to the right. of Trenton Hassel.

This breakthrough is a test. It can be seen that Miller's sword is not old, and his defense is still at the top level. The most disgusting thing is that after Jamal Tinsley and Miller switched defenses, he didn't defend his own Hassel, and he kept going. Eyeing him, he wanted to pinch Lu Yu.

Hassell caught the ball open...and didn't shoot, he passed the ball to Brad Miller in the big post.

It's a real headache to have shooting guards on the wings who don't have the ability to shoot.

If this ball was replaced by Hoiberg, it would definitely be thrown.

Lu Yu can also see why Floyd in his previous life was fired after playing more than 20 games this season. His record is one aspect, and another aspect is his vacillating tactics.

In the preseason, in order to verify the team's offensive routines and let the players play freely, the team played well, but in the regular season, he swayed between offense and defense for the first time.

It is true that defense determines whether a team can go further.

But any team with a good defense, their offense will never be so constipated.

Floyd was a great college coach at Iowa State, leading Iowa State to more than 400 wins, but he's definitely not a great NBA coach.

His idol is Phil Jackson, so he also hopes to become a coach as good as a Zen master, but this is not the case. His ability to respond on the spot is a few grades worse than that of a Zen master.

Just like now, Trenton Hassell improved his defense on the court, but he didn't have any offensive ability. The opponent could flank unscrupulously or prepare to flank Lu Yu, and Lu Yu had to play the ball.

As long as he replaces Hoiberg, Lu Yu has a better way to deal with it.

As for defense, can't Lu Yu defend Reggie Miller?

But Floyd doesn't think so. He needs the team's players to follow his arrangements completely. He believes that it is the most correct choice to grind the opponent's shooting percentage from the defense.

He didn't learn the essence of the Zen master's triangle tactics, but he learned to control the team to the fullest.

Brad Miller hit the basket hard, turned and hooked and missed the basket.

The Pacers' offense is the same old routine. This time O'Neal Jr. caught the ball, Brad Miller defended it, Trenton went after Reggie Miller, Jr. O'Neal passed the ball, and Miller didn't have time to get the ball Pinned by Trenton Hassel.

Trenton Hassell doesn't care about the offense. His only task is to defend Reggie Miller. Reggie Miller doesn't attack, but passes the ball to Jaylen Rose who is empty.

Rose's scoring ability is the strongest point of this Pacers team at present. Even in the case of Reggie Miller getting older in the past two years, he has grown into the first scorer. After rushing into the interior, Ah Tester had no choice but to pull a foul and send him to the free throw line.

Ross made two free throws.

20 to 20, the two sides tied.

With 2 minutes left, the two sides began to substitute during the dead ball. Guyton, Jamal Crawford and Ron Mercer were replaced, and Lu Yu, Artest and Trenton were replaced.

Next, the players on both sides played according to the coach's arrangement. Brad Miller singled out O'Neal and turned and hooked to score. The Pacers fouled in the next round. Crawford walked to the free throw line. Near the end, Mercer's bottom line was empty. Cut to the basket.

On the Pacers side, O'Neal scored a goal at the basket, and Rose hit a long two-pointer.

The first quarter ended with the Bulls leading by two points at 26:24.

In the NBA, the interval between the end of the first quarter and the beginning of the second quarter, the end of the third quarter and the beginning of the fourth quarter is 130 seconds, and the interval between the end of the second quarter and the beginning of the third quarter is 15 minutes.

There are two short pauses of 20 seconds, and two long pauses, 100 seconds and 60 seconds.

Floyd doesn't like to call a timeout. He likes to make substitutions during dead balls and inter-quarter breaks. This is also learned from Zen Master Jackson. The five players who played in the second quarter were Guyton, Crawford, and Mercer. , Charles Oakley and Tyson Chandler.

"The positional battle is dominated by Jamal and Ron's singles with the ball. Charles is always ready to raise a high screen, and Tyson is always ready to rush for rebounds from the side."

As for Guyton, his job is to dribble through half court.

Everyone knows that Guyton has become the team's first choice as a backup point guard. He played for 2 minutes at the end of the first quarter, but the coach still has no intention of letting Drew play.

This also lets everyone know, don’t think that the coach is easy to handle, the preseason lets you play, just to give you a face, in the regular season, you should be on the bench, you still have to sit obediently.

In fact, it's not surprising that Floyd didn't let Drew play. In the preseason, Drew would only play with the ball and pass the ball to Lu Yu if he couldn't.

Floyd's time for the substitute is 3 minutes. If the opponent overtakes the score, he will arrange Lu Yu to play as soon as possible, and start playing the main force.

As for the opponent's bench lineup, there is really nothing else to pay attention to except for the Ma Daha-like Harrington.

Throw in Charles Oakley, and you can limit it.

His rigid deployment of troops ignored that the Pacers not only sent Harrington in the second quarter, but also left veteran Reggie Miller on the court.

Once on the court, Reggie Miller was on fire.

Hit three three-pointers in a row to directly pull the score away.

An angry Floyd cursed on the sidelines: "What about the defense? Has your defense been eaten by dogs? Defend Miller for me, don't let him catch the ball."

Lu Yu sat on the court without looking sideways.

There is no problem with this bench lineup, as long as it is not shot into a sieve by the opponent. There are Charles and Chandler in the interior, and the frame protection is not a big problem, but the most fearful thing is that the opponent shoots on the outside.

Especially a shooter like Reggie Miller.

It can be seen from the personnel adjustment that the Pacers really want to win this game. Reggie Miller played the first quarter, and now he has come up to bring a substitute. It seems that he intends to play the whole game.

Maybe, just don't want to lose to the Bulls?

Soon, the Bulls trailed by nine points at 28:37. Floyd's face was ashen, but he still didn't call a timeout. He just swept his eyes around the bench.

Is it to replace the main force in advance?
Or should I replace one or two first?

The director at the scene obviously caught Floyd's eyes, and the director also aimed the camera at the Bulls' backup, but no one knew who would be the next player to play.

The camera also caught a celebrity, a beautiful woman, from the back of the bench.

Charlize Theron has always been a fan of the Chicago Bulls. She has the front row package of the Bulls, but today she did not choose the front row. She bought the ticket for the back of the Bulls bench, so that she can watch that one without restraint. Scumbag.

Although she knew that Lu Yu was a scumbag, she also knew that it was normal for players in the NBA to be a bit lacy. Instead, she was curious about how a player like Lu Yu would perform in the Bulls.

Besides, he is a scumbag, can't he be conquered?

Reggie Miller counterattacked for a layup, caused Guyton's foul, and made a successful three-pointer. He excitedly gave his teammates a high-five.

When Lu Yu saw Guyton's foul, his heart moved.

Sure enough, Floyd walked to the bench.

"Ron, you go up, replace Ron...Mersel." There are two Ron in the team, one is Artest in the front and one is Mercer in the back.

"No problem." Artest quickly stood up and patted his chest to assure.

Seeing that Floyd was not replaced by himself, Lu Yu had already greeted Floyd's ancestors in his heart. As the head coach of this shit, he would graduate sooner or later. At this time, Floyd's voice rang again.

"Lu, you come on stage."

"Well." Lu Yu quickly took off his jacket and stood up.

"You remember, you replaced A.J on the court. He is not very useful on the court now. Your task on the court is to break through, score the ball, seize the opportunity to shoot, disrupt the opponent's defense line, and bring the score back to me. ,do you know?"

"understood."

Lu Yu walked to the technical desk and waited for the technical desk to signal a substitution.

The camera was aimed at the two of them, and the fans also saw them from the large ceiling screen, and they all stood up and applauded.

Charlize Theron also stood up. She didn't see Lu Yu's performance in the first quarter, and finally Lu Yu came on the court. She didn't want to miss the wonderful scene.

When Jessica on the sidelines turned around, she was surprised to see the violent neighbor Lu Yu was talking about... The violent man also likes basketball?
After Lu Yu came on the court, he easily got rid of Reggie Miller's defense by relying on the cover. The inside line was not replaced, and Lu Yu took a step sideways to the right at a 45-degree angle for a three-pointer, and made another sideways step shot.

Little O'Neal was in a daze at the horns and didn't pounce.

Lu Yu's shooting is very sufficient, and the step-back shot is also a new practice this summer. Many players have their own signature moves in the NBA. Lu Yu practiced for a summer and chose this.

The rhythm is good, the three-pointer is hit.

At 31:40, the difference was back within ten points.

This is Lu Yu's eighth point of the game.

Zhang Weiping sighed: "Lu Yu's offensive performance is great. He is shooting three out of three shots now. I really don't know why the Bulls coach didn't arrange some tactics around Lu Yuduo."

Sun Yiping said with a smile: "It may be because Lu Yu is a rookie. After all, the team rarely arranges tactics for rookies, but I think after this game, Lu Yu should be taken seriously."

The Pacers attacked and made two passes, and Reggie Miller greeted Lu Yu with a shot.

Too bad it missed the hoop this time.

The height of the two is almost the same. It was the first time Reggie Miller encountered Lu Yu's defense. He thought that Lu Yu would make the same mistakes that many newcomers would make like the rookies who defended him before.

As a result, Lu Yu interfered well with his shot.

Oakley grabbed the rebound and passed the ball to Lu Yu.

Lu Yu did not pass the ball to his teammates for a fast break, but slowly dribbled the ball through half court.

The pace of the Pacers' defense is not slow, and they can't gain the local advantage of playing more and less by advancing quickly. Although Crawford ran at the front, Lu Yu did not choose to pass the ball to him.

Seeing this scene, Freud looked calm on the surface, and applauded Lu Yu in his heart.

If Lu Yu sees his teammates running in front and passing the ball directly, it will not only cause mistakes, but also cause Crawford to be pinched. If there is no absolutely good opportunity, he would rather play at a steady pace.

Lu Yu waved for cover again, Oakley came up to block Reggie Miller, Lu Yu dislocated and singled Foster, Foster didn't dare to stick too close, because his speed couldn't keep up with Lu Yu at all.

At this time, Reggie Miller suddenly shouted: "Jeff, jump up!"

Hearing the shout, Foster suddenly realized that Lu Yu was ready to shoot, but it was too late to pounce at this time. Lu Yu shot easily, the arc was perfect, and the basketball was hollow into the net.

34:40, Lu Yu's personal No. 11 points!
All the audience on the sidelines stood up and applauded Lu Yu. Coach Floyd was a little confused. He couldn't figure out what went wrong and why the team lost points when they played defense according to their own deployment, but Lu Yu played. When he gets up to score, he keeps winning.

The Pacers are also a bit confused from player to head coach.

No one thought that this rookie of the Bulls would score so fiercely when he swung it up!
