Basketball starts with breathing

Chapter 170 How do you think you are the core of the team? [The first update, please subscribe]

Perhaps in the past, Lu Yu only dared to say that his goal was the best rookie. Occasionally, when he said that his goal was the championship, he would be ridiculed by the media for being over his head.

Because at that time, Lu Yu was just a rookie entering the league.

Even Lu Yu himself knew that his priority was not the championship or even the best rookie, but to gain a firm foothold in the Bulls.

But after this game, the eyes of all the players looking at him changed a bit.

Everyone knows that a new core of the team is born.

The transition from a role player to the team leader is too abrupt for any player, but for Lu Yu, this is his goal since he entered the league. Only when he becomes the team leader can he dare to go. Talk about that championship flag.

Of course, there is another way.

Just hug the thigh, Lu Yu can remember which team wins the championship every year, try his best not to flap the wings of the butterfly, be a salted fish, and just hug the thigh.

But that's not what Lu Yu wants, he wants... he is a thigh!
……

City of Spokane.

Lu Ji Chinese Restaurant was broadcasting the game live on TV. After Lu Yu won the game, the guests who came to eat congratulated the boss.

"Lu Yu will definitely become an NBA superstar in the future."

"Boss, can I come and ask for an autograph when Lu Yu comes back?"

"I will come to your restaurant every day to eat in the future!"

Lu Chaoyang greeted every guest with a smile. He was happier than anyone else that Lu Yu could play in the NBA, but he was also a little sad. When his son grew up, it seemed that he was no longer his own.

Snoopy is going to ask the editor below to write a report bragging about Lu Yu tonight. The owner of the magazine is going to become an NBA superstar. It is gratifying. For the magazine, it is simply a free spokesperson.

Jessica wasn't so excited, she's been in a low mood lately.

Next door to Lu Yu's house in Chicago, Charlize Theron pouted when she had just returned home. She realized that Lu Yu was really going to become a big star.

There are already relatives and friends who know that she lives next door to Lu Yu and ask her if she can get Lu Yu's autograph. This must be the credit of her mother, Gerda Theron. Now she can't wait for the whole world to know that Lu Yu is their neighbor.

Seeing Lu Yu's performance like this, Drew walked back to the locker room silently. He didn't want to see the replay of Lu Yu's goal on the big screen at the top of the arena, nor did he want to see his teammates celebrating.

Even if he didn't watch it, he couldn't calm down for a long time. Now Lu Yu has almost become the core of the team, let alone competing with Lu Yu for the starting lineup. The media must love Lu Yu to death. Cartwright temporarily mounted the command, and he could not compete no matter what.

Just like him was Marcus Fezel.

The Internet is more lively. Several major sports websites in the United States, sports forums, and the official Bulls website have fans posting to discuss the game.

"Lu Yu is simply too strong, and he deserves it as the core of the team."

"Who says Asians can't play basketball? Lu Yu may not be the first Asian to play in the NBA, but he is probably the strongest Asian player in NBA history."

"Lu Yu is really strong. He scored 34 points and 9 assists in a quasi-double-double in the whole game. He is a true leader!"

"In these few games, Lu Yu's performance is simply a barometer of the team's victory or defeat, and in the few games where Lu Yu's performance was not good, it was obvious that his tactical status was not high. Today, the coaching staff of the Bulls gave Lu Yu full play. Space, if it's still like the previous games, the Bulls will lose [-]% of the time."

Marcus Fetzel would be pissed off if he saw the comments online.

Because the tactical core of losing those games was him.

The Bulls blossomed more, with five players in the team scoring in double figures. Brad Miller made 12 of 4 shots, 4 of 4 serve, and scored a double-double of 12 points and 11 rebounds.

Artest 10 points, 5 rebounds and 3 steals.

Chandler had 11 points and 9 rebounds.

Marcus Fetzel had 13 points and 2 rebounds. To be honest, only getting two rebounds as a power forward is a bit unqualified.

Charles Oakley is more ferocious. Although he didn't score much, he scored 19 rebounds by himself. You must know that he is facing Mutombo, who is tall and long.

76人队得分基本集中在艾弗森一个人身上，全场比赛他砍下44分5次助攻3个篮板2次抢断的数据，尤其是44分是本赛季第一个40+得分。

You must know that this is the score he got when the Bulls were playing zone defense. It can be seen that his offensive ability makes a pervert like Lu Yu feel very perverted.

There are many reporters at the press conference.

The 76ers players and coaches were interviewed first.

Larry Brown took the blame on himself: "The team lost mainly because I didn't do my job well, we didn't understand the league's new rules well this summer, which led to a series of losses at the beginning of the season, obviously the Bulls. The team is the better side, especially their No. 10 Lu Yu, whose performance in the second half of the game was amazing."

The reporter asked: "What kind of height do you think Lu Yu will reach in the future?"

Brown said: "It's hard to say, but from today's game, his achievements will not be low, and the minimum is an All-Star player. I can't believe he is only 19 years old. If I remember correctly, he should be in the NBA. Youngest player in history to score 30+ points."

The reporter asked another sensitive question: "Do you think the Wizards who missed Lu Yu in this year's draft, and the Clippers who traded Lu Yu away, will regret the choices they made on the day of the draft?"

Brown laughed: "I think you should ask Michael and Sterling that."

He won't be fooled.

Obviously, the answer is of course regret, but this answer should not be answered by Brown. Brown's answer to regret is to offend the two of them. If he answers without regret, then the result of today's game will be a bit of a slap in the face.

Iverson did not comment on Lu Yu, but simply said: "This is an ordinary regular season, and my eyes are already on the next game. I hope that when I meet the Bulls in the playoffs, I can meet Lu Yu again. once."

When the Bulls were interviewed, Lu Yu became the focus of the audience, and the topic basically revolved around him, and his teammates were full of praise for him.

The reporter asked Lu Yu, "How does it feel to win the game?"

"Very good, I'm very happy to have completed the task that the coach gave me." Lu Yu said with a smile.

The reporter asked: "You led the team to score at the last moment. What kind of mentality did you hold to challenge Allen Iverson?"

"It's not a challenge." Lu Yu paused and smiled: "As Allen said, this is just a regular season, we did more preparations, they didn't, it's as simple as that, I admire him, after all I have the help of so many teammates, and he can still score 44 points under our strict defense, if it were me, I might not be able to do it."

Iverson's scoring ability is beyond doubt.

In the 1998-1999 season, Iverson won the season scoring title with an average of 26.8 points per game. In the 1999-2000 season, Iverson averaged 28.4 points per game. In the 2000-2001 season, Iverson was even more exaggerated. He averaged 31.1 points per game. Points, 3.8 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 2.5 steals and 0.3 blocks won the league MVP, and at the same time won the scoring, steals, and was selected to the league first team again.

But this season, Iverson's personal data is still bright, but the team has been losing.

Everyone can see that the emergence of the new regulations has a great impact on a singles superstar like Iverson.

Perhaps, last year will be the culmination of Iverson.

In fact, the 2000-2001 season was indeed the culmination of Iverson. If there were no new rules, maybe Iverson would not go with the tide so quickly. Of course, if there were no new rules, Michael Jordan might not Will end so bleak in the Wizards.

It can only be said that all players, if they want to play better, must conform to the torrent of the times.

This is an irreversible "potential".

There are very few players in the NBA who can change this 'trend'. Jordan at his peak can, but Jordan cannot.

The reporter asked Lu Yu: "As a rookie, this is the first time to take on such a big responsibility. Are you nervous every time you shoot?"

"I don't think there's anything to be nervous about."

Lu Yu said with a smile: "I'm in good shape today. When I feel the touch, the basket is like the ocean. If I'm nervous about throwing the ball into the ocean, I may not be suitable for going to the beach."

Lu Yu's words made the audience burst into laughter.

After the game, Cartwright announced that the team would rest for two days and the players would be free to move around. The team would not have games until two days later. After the disbandment, Cartwright specifically found Lu Yu and called Lu Yu to the office.

"Lu, don't you have anything to say about my arrangement today?" Cartwright asked softly.

There was a huge contrast between his soft voice and his tall appearance.

"what?"

Lu Yu touched his nose with his hand: "I don't have anything to say, it's just a regular season game, and I have to listen to the coach's arrangement, don't I?"

"coach?"

Cartwright obviously didn't expect Lu Yu to be so slippery. Lu Yu didn't say which coach at all, but he didn't lie if he thought about it carefully. Whether it was Floyd or Cartwright, who was the head coach and who arranged the tactics, Lu Yu will perform as a player, and Cartwright can only ask: "Didn't you find that Tim didn't show up until the end of the game today?"

"Coach Floyd?" Lu Yu shook his head and smiled: "This is the management's business. No matter what, Tim is a good coach. Did the management make any decisions?"

Cartwright laughed, this Lu Yu was a little interesting, kicked the ball back, Cartwright simply said directly: "Klaus has told me just now, I hope I will do my job as the team's head coach, you How do you feel about being the core of the team?"

"Do you want to hear the truth?" Lu Yu tilted his head and said.

"truth."

"you sure?"

"of course."

"Then I said it."

Lu Yu coughed lightly, thought for a while, and then said seriously, "I think I can be the tactical core of a team."

"Oh?"

Cartwright glanced at Lu Yu.

Lu Yu's expression was calm, without a hint of joking, and those clear eyes were even deeper.

"Perhaps I'm not the strongest physically in my position, maybe I'm not the best in my position in the league, maybe I'm not the best in my position in passing, maybe I'm not the best in my position in defense...but I I feel that, on the whole, I am no worse than anyone else, and the most important point is that I believe that as long as I have enough room to play, I can lead the team to win the game.”

"Is this what you think in your heart, or is it because of the confidence you have after winning this game?"

"It's not because of this game, it's the voice I've kept in my heart since I came into this league."

　Also, I am writing, asking for a monthly pass...
