Basketball starts with breathing

Chapter 183 What is Lu Yu's good deeds [First update, please subscribe]

Cartwright did not believe that after so long, other teams in the league would continue to ignore Lu Yu.

There is a term called rookie wall.

This term describes the fact that after a rookie enters the NBA, he is usually out of shape for a certain period of time, like an invisible wall blocking the way forward.

The rookies seem to be getting more active each year after the season begins.

They will jump higher and run faster.

Unfortunately, the NBA is an athletic marathon, not a sprint.

From training camp, you practice twice a day for a full month, followed by eight preseason games.

Then there are 82 races to torment you on the long road filled with dozens of back-to-back races and endless days of flying, staying in hotels and taking the bus.

And if you're on a strong team, then you've got two more weeks in that two-month away season.

When you were a 19-22 rookie, you basically had to multiply your college schedule by three.

Eventually, when both physical and mental strength began to break down a little - the "rookie wall" came.

Most rookies hit this evil wall to varying degrees in their first seasons.

"I think every guy hits the rookie wall," said Knicks guard Larry Hughes, who was a rookie in that shortened season in '99, "especially when you're expecting to devote everything to basketball and travel. For a lot of rookies, if they play for a long time, it can feel like they're in trouble with the rookie wall. The question is how long you can get out of it."

Some believe it, some don't.

But basically every rookie will hit the rookie wall, especially an excellent rookie like Lu Yu.

In addition to physical and mental reasons, what Cartwright is most worried about is other teams' research on Lu Yu. When a rookie achieves Lu Yu's level, other teams will definitely pay attention to him.

The result of paying attention is to target him tactically.

Cartwright thought Phil Jackson would make defensive adjustments against Lu Yu, but so far he hasn't seen it.

Could it be that Jackson didn't take Lu Yu seriously?

Artest received a pass from Lu Yumiao and made a three-pointer, but unfortunately missed and the rebound was won by Kobe.

Zhang Weiping sighed: "Lu Yu's pass mobilized the entire team, and his ball always appeared at the right place at the right time... The national team lacks such passers."

When he was commenting here, Kobe, who grabbed the rebound, had quickly dribbled the ball to the Bulls' half court. Hassell couldn't stop him at all, just a shake and a line change passed.

Lu Yu had already appeared in front of Kobe, staring at Kobe with open hands.

Hassell's intriguing backup to Fisher went.

When Kobe saw Lu Yu in front of him, he immediately stopped in a hurry. Chandler and Miller had already returned to the defense, and his fast break was impossible.

He slowly dribbled the ball twice, waved his right hand, and the Lakers players immediately pulled away to facilitate his singles.

Lu Yu's waist bent down unconsciously. This was the first time he and Kobe were officially facing each other on the field.

Bryant kept dribbling the ball between his legs with both hands, and his legs kept walking back and forth in small steps.

Suddenly, his upper body swayed continuously, his left foot stepped forward and rushed to the left, and Lu Yu moved a step subconsciously. Kobe only took a step to the left, and after his right foot landed, a beautiful pull ball turned and passed Lu Yu. Yu, before Lu Yu came over, he rushed towards the inside with a stride.

Chandler is ready to fight: "You can't let Brad make up the defense, if you want to make up the defense, it must be me!".

Miller is guarding O'Neal and is fighting against O'Neal at the basket.

The two of them have been fighting for a long time.

A big white bear, a big shark, no one will let anyone.

Kobe didn't shoot the ball, but rushed to the basket, jumped high, leaned back with his upper body, and grabbed the ball with his right hand hanging high behind his head. The gesture was a slam dunk.

Chandler jumped up knowing it was difficult to guard against Kobe's dunk

"Let everyone see who is the strongest high school student!"

There was a flame in his eyes, and his big hand reached out to the ball that Kobe was smashing hard...

Kobe Bryant saw that Chandler dared to block the shot while he was dunking.

The two fell to the ground amid the screams of the fans, many of whom didn't even see what was going on.

Kobe Bryant looked at Chandler with an incredible expression on his face, and Chandler's expression also looked pity.

Then the referee's whistle rang.

Hitman fouls, two free throws.

Chandler fouled the ball!

Zhang Weiping nodded and said with a tsk tsk: "Yes, yes, from these few games, Chandler has improved a lot since the beginning of the season. Although the ball was hit by Kobe, it still made the ball deviate from the direction. , no matter what, I can't let Kobe dunk successfully, it's very demoralizing..."

Cartwright kept walking off the court. Although the team was still leading temporarily, the form was not optimistic. He looked at Kobe who was standing on the free throw line waiting for the referee to give the ball. Kobe's expression was very serious.

Kobe Bryant made the first free throw.

Cartwright asked for a substitution and replaced Chandler with Oakley. First, to protect the rebound, and second, to help Miller share the defensive pressure. Didn't you see that Miller's face was flushed?

Kobe Bryant also made a free throw, 15:15
The two sides tied.

……

Lu Yu passed the ball to Trenton Hassell on the bottom line, Hassell hoisted into the inside line, and Miller missed O'Neal's defense.

Zhang Weiping said regretfully, "What a great opportunity, what a pity."

Samaki Walker jumped up and grabbed the rebound. Although he was not tall, he always considered himself to be good at jumping. He thought he was no worse than other power forwards. He was about to touch the ball in his eyes, and a thick arm appeared. On his head, he threw the ball up in one fell swoop. His second reaction was very fast. As soon as he landed, he jumped for the second time. Unfortunately, before he jumped up this time, his whole body flew out, and the basketball was caught by the basketball again. Arm pulled away.

He wanted to see who had knocked him off, and it was Oakley.

It wasn't surprising at all.

Walker didn't have time to fret, and he quickly leaned against Oakley, afraid that Oakley would shoot.

Oakley saw that he had no chance, and passed the ball to Lu Yu at the top of the arc. Fisher rushed up immediately. Lu Yu's three-pointer was his main point of defense.

It's a pity that Lu Yu didn't even look at him, and shot directly.

Goal scored, 18-15
The camera closely followed Lu Yu, his calm expression seemed to be just an ordinary shot, but this shot suppressed the momentum of the Lakers just getting up.

Then everything came to the scene of Lu Yu's father, Lu Chaoyang, in the Bulls' stand.

Lu Chaoyang waited for half a quarter to take his place. After seeing his picture on the big screen, Lu Chaoyang straightened his tie, and then kicked Snoopy, who was drowsy beside him. He raised the billboard a little higher...

Lu Chaoyang's name was played on the screen, and Zhang Weiping saw it, and introduced to the audience in front of the TV: "This is Lu Yu's father, Lu Chaoyang, a small forward for the national team of the Chinese men's basketball team in the 80s. It seems that Lu Yu is very Good inherited Lu Chaoyang's basketball talent..."

The game between the two sides continued, and both teams found their own offensive state. The Lakers quickly caught up with the score under the impact of Kobe and O'Neal, while the Bulls continued to fight back through tenacious defense. Lu Yu's mobilization down and keep scoring.

At the end of the first quarter, 22-22, the two sides tied again.

Both head coaches were satisfied with the score and happily welcomed the players to rest.

Although he clearly knew that Lu Yu and Kobe were not playing in the same position today, Zhang Weiping unconsciously found the technical statistics of the two to make a comparison. From the perspective of the Chinese, he also hoped that Lu Yu could do it. As good as Kobe Bryant, comparable to a lot of top guards.

"Kobe played 12 minutes, 7-of-3 from the field, 10-of-1 from 2-point range, [-]-of-[-] from the free throw line, scored [-] points, and also had [-] assist and [-] rebounds."

"Lu Yu, the playing time is the same as Kobe. The two of them are the only players on the court who have not been off the court. He currently has 5 points, and contributed 4 assists and 2 steals."

It can be said that the two of them have performed well in their respective positions, and the two direct conversations they had had were tied in two direct conversations-Lu Yu succeeded in a layup under Kobe's defense; Kobe's breakthrough caused Lu Yu to make money Dele's foul.

"Let's go ahead and come back soon." Yu Jia said immediately after hearing the director's arrangement from the ear pulse, and the screen switched away immediately.

The audience in front of the TV breathed a sigh of relief, moved their sore waists and backs, shook their stiff necks, and started their first "free activities" of nearly 10 minutes

"It's so fucking wonderful, when did we have such a good defender!"

"Don't you know? Didn't you watch his ncaa finals this year?"

"Look, you think I'm really ball-blind! Who doesn't know Lu Yu now! His level is recognized in the world."

"Then what the hell are you calling me!"

"I'm sighing when I can see him in the national team game!"

……

Spokane.

The Gonzaga Bulldogs just finished a regular-season game against the University of Arizona.

Last year's Gonzaga knocked Arizona down in the Finals, but this time, Gonzaga lost, and by a lot of points.

"Don't be depressed, man, losing is not your problem." Casey Green patted Yi Jianlian on the shoulder.

"Yeah, you've done a great job." Dan Dicko was also very depressed, but seeing Yi Jianlian's appearance, he decided to comfort him first.

In this game, Yi Jianlian scored 11 points and 13 rebounds. For a freshman, his performance was actually okay.

But at the last moment, Dan Dicko's shot missed the basket, he didn't grab the rebound, and he blamed himself if he grabbed the rebound and filled the ball, the outcome might be different.

Mark Foyo looked at the group of disciples in front of him and shook his head helplessly.

After Lu Yu left, the strength of the backline of this team has dropped a lot. It is almost impossible to win the championship again. It is not unacceptable to lose to a strong team like Arizona.

As for Yi Jianlian, he's excellent, except... he's a little more introverted.

But now it's much better, at least it's very enjoyable to think of with teammates, the only problem is that it lacks the domineering domineering of Lu Yu.

"By the way, there is a live broadcast between Lu Yu's Bulls and Lakers today."

Mark Foyou thought about it and said, "Everyone go directly to my house, how about we watch a Lu Yu game together?"

"Okay!" Blake was the first to jump out in agreement.

Yi Jianlian's eyes also showed a look of anticipation,

They came to Mark Foyo's house, turned on the TV, and Mark Foyo prepared fruit for the players.

After a while, he came over and asked, "What's the score now? How is Lu Yu's performance?"

Blake said excitedly: "Now that the second quarter is almost over, the Bulls have pulled the score to 7 points, and the director of all this is Lu Yu's good deeds."

"What is Lu Yu's good deeds?"

Mark Foyo rolled his eyes at him, put the fruit on the table, and watched the game.

On the TV, Kobe Bryant missed the shot after breaking through. Chandler grabbed the rebound and quickly passed the ball to Lu Yu, who was on the sideline. Lu Yu first turned inward, and suddenly threw the ball out of Fisher's cross. Crossing down, bypassing Fisher from outside the touchline, catching up with the ball, dribbling the ball down the right flank quickly.

Walker is running towards the basket, Chandler is not far to his left, and Artest in the middle is not slow to follow up. Between him and Lu Yu, Kobe is paying close attention to Lu Yu's movements.

Zhang Weiping shouted excitedly: "It's another quick counterattack, a quick counterattack of three against two, how will Lu Yu handle this ball? Let's wait and see!"
