Basketball starts with breathing

Chapter 223 Wearing the crotch and hitting the ground, the ball is divided? [Second update, please subscribe]

This year's Lu Yu should not have participated in the Rookie Challenge.

There is a regulation in the league that players participating in the All-Star Game cannot participate in the Rookie Challenge. Yao Ming in Lu Yu's previous life beat Shaquille O'Neal to become the All-Star starter, so he did not participate in the Rookie Challenge.

But this time, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the alliance intends to cultivate Lu Yu as a facade.

For Lu Yu's sake, he didn't say anything about this rule.

Maybe it's the sluggish rookies in the past few years, maybe it's the market downturn in the post-Jordan era. Before the emergence of people who can support the NBA's appearance, it is the people of the 96 generation who support the league's face. In the future, the candidate for suspension is Lu Lu. Remain.

Therefore, the way to improve Lu Yu's exposure, the alliance will try its best to satisfy.

And since the Rookie Challenge, only two rookies, Grant Hill and Tim Duncan, became All-Stars in their rookie seasons. Grant Hill, in particular, is very similar to the current situation of Lu Yu. In one year, he became the All-Star starter and the All-Star ticket king.

Even Grant Hill had more.

The Pistons selected Hill with the third overall pick in the 1994 draft.

After Grant Hill was selected, the then-American boss Clint squatted on the phone to congratulate him immediately. The lineup was so large that Jordan, the basketball god of the year, had to be resigned.

新秀赛季格兰特希尔出战70场比赛，场均能贡献19.9分6.4篮板5助攻以及1.8次抢断。

This year was also the time when Jordan retired for the first time after winning three consecutive championships. The NBA urgently needed a new front to prop up the NBA’s facade.

The arrival of Grant Thill soon gave David Stern hope.

In his rookie season, Hill was not only selected as an All-Star starter, but also ranked first in the All-Star voting to become the NBA vote king.

The rookie became the All-Star vote king, becoming the first player in the four major professional sports in North America to be a rookie.

The NBA officially called him "Jordan's successor", and thus Jordan's first successor was born.

But that year was the second year of the Rookie Challenge, and the league couldn't directly break the rules for him.

This year is different. The Rookie Challenge has changed three or four ways. The rules of that year have long been thrown into Java, and no one is going to mention this. The league is naturally happy to see it succeed, increasing Lu Yu's exposure.

I hope Lu Yu can become the next Grant Hill... ah, he can't be the unlucky one.

The second-year team attacked, Quentin Richardson broke through, Lu Yu did not defend seriously, let him into the inside, Quentin took off in the middle and wanted to dunk, but was taken off by Jason Richardson and slapped dropped the basketball in his hand.

Both are named Richardson, but on the court, it's not the time to tell the difference, Jason Richardson doesn't care about the rookie challenge, his goal is the dunk contest, so he has to show the fans Your own bounce, aside from takeoff dunks, takeoff blocks are the best way to show off.

Quentin Richardson lost his focus and fell to the ground, unable to quickly return to defense. Shane picked up the ball and passed it to Lu Yu, who was going down quickly. He was often hit by Lu Yu on fast breaks in the NCAA. Know the speed of Lu Yu's fast attack.

Lu Yu took the ball to the three-point line in two steps, and the opponent returned to the defense quickly, but he retreated relatively backward. Lu Yu was not too strong, and directly grabbed a shot from outside the three-point line, smash, hit.

7 is better than 0
If it were the regular season, it would be called a timeout. Lu Yu's three-pointer let his opponent know that Lu Yu's registration for tomorrow's three-point contest was not a joke, and his three-pointer was really accurate.

No one paused, and the game continued. Everyone wanted to see how many points Lu Yu could score.

Quentin Richardson is a little speechless, the Rookie Challenge has just started, can't deduct a single one?

The original second-year players played once last year, and found that no matter how hard they defended, they would not steal the limelight of the All-Star players, so they would not be too hard on defense, and they all wanted to work on offense.

Anyway, it's a performance. If you can dunk, you will never make a layup. If you can pull the bar, you will never pick a basket. If you can fast break, you will never shoot outside.

Only Lu Yu is the only one who has an All-Star game anyway, but he is more normal.

Quentin Richardson called a screen and went out to meet Jason Richardson.

Lu Yu didn't help at all, it was up to the two of them to do it.

Quentin changed direction and threw off Jason's defense, then made an emergency stop and shot, and finally hit, 7-2
After scoring the goal, Quentin made a salute to Lu Yu. If he didn't score again, he would be too embarrassed. Lu Yu's empty side made it easier for him to attack.

Lu Yucai will not defend hard, not to mention Quentin is his teammate of the Bulls.

In the first-year offense, Lu Yu dribbled the ball over half court, played a pick-and-roll with Gasol, lowered his center of gravity and dashed to the right, attracting Mim's defense. pass through.

Behind, hitting the ground, passing the ball through the crotch!
Such an imaginative pass made many fans think that Lu Yu once used an elbow to pass the ball in the NCAA game, which is crazy.

Gasol received a pass from Lu Yu, pushed the ball straight up, and dunked into the basket.

9 is better than 2
Sophomore offense, Quentin Richardson also starts a pass, Mike Miller makes an open catch, hits a 9-pointer, 5-[-]
Lu Yu picked and rolled again, but this time Quentin Richardson still did not bypass the defense. Lu Yu felt that after returning to the Bulls, he had to talk to Richardson about why his defensive level went up and down.

Lu Yu suddenly thought, that Quentin seemed to be chasing after him for an autograph?
Is it a lack of motivation?
After the pick-and-roll, Lu Yu scored the ball to Battier, and Battier slipped into the bottom corner with the help of a screen and hit a three-pointer.

12 is better than 5
Lu Yu's second assist.

Tony Parker, who was sitting off the court, kept staring at Lu Yu, and Popovich told him that if he wanted to learn, he should take Lu Yu as his learning object.

And he and Popovich have studied Lu Yu specially.

To say that he is fast, he does not seem to be as fast as players like Iverson. Even Parker feels that he is much faster than Lu Yu. To say that he shoots accurately, he is not as good as those pure shooters. Of course, there are also The reason why Lu Yu faces more defensive pressure than a pure shooter, but from the current point of view, it may be that outrageous. To say that his physical fitness is good, Parker thinks it may seem like a joke.

Although Lu Yu's height is not bad among guards, but if it is evenly distributed to all positions, that is, the general level, Lu Yu's jumping is good, but there are players in the NBA who can jump, and Swift's physical fitness in the second-year rookie is even better. It's crazy, isn't that the case?

So why can a player like him become the core player of an NBA team and lead the team to the top three in the Eastern Conference?
Parker clearly remembers Popovich pointing his finger at his head when he answered the question.

Basketball IQ.

Lu Yu is the kind of player who doesn't look strong at all.

But only after he really played against him did he know that he really just didn't look strong. He was not only strong in the changes on the offensive end, but he could adjust his style of play according to the type of opponents, and he could even be very good on the defensive end. Make defensive adjustments based on the opponent's offensive routine.

Even what type of play his teammates are good at, he can also know by heart.

Just like the ball just now, Battier had vacancies in the top arc several times before, but Lu Yu did not choose to pass the ball, but this time when Battier appeared in the bottom corner, Lu Yu passed it without hesitation.

And Parker knew that Shane had the highest hit rate in the corner.

However, it was just a performance game in front of him, and Parker was just sitting off the field feeling it.

In a performance game, the defense of the players is naturally very loose. Kenyon Martin threw off Shane Battier's defense with an empty cut and made a direct empty cut to the basket.

Mike Miller waved his hand, and the basketball crossed an arc and went straight to the basket. Martin jumped high and smashed the ball into the basket in the air.

Shane did not chase after seeing that he lost his position.

"Kenyon...Ma...Ding..."

The MC on the scene stretched the tail to mobilize the atmosphere of the scene. This was a beautiful alley-oop dunk, and the scene was directly ignited.

Gasol served from the bottom line, Lu Yu received the ball and dribbled a step and then made a direct pass from the backcourt through the whole court. Jason Richardson picked up the basketball like an eagle and ran to the basket tomahawk. Split buckle.

The basket dunked trembling.

"Pretty!"

"Wow, this dunk is really cool!"

Only then did all the fans realize that this rookie challenge seemed to look better than previous years.

The opponent almost didn't even run past the half, and the attack on this side was over.

Richardson ran back and gave Lu Yu a high five to celebrate.

Arenas pouted: "If I hadn't called Lu Yu, do you think you would score so easily?"

He just finished muttering, and then looked at the coach with hopeful eyes, and didn't know when the coach would let him play.

Lu Yu held the ball with his left back, leaned on Quentin Richardson, and then turned directly to Sam Gold to pass his defense.

18 to 9, Lu Yu scored the ninth point.

Also got 3 assists.

Equivalent to the 18 points of the first-year team, [-] points are related to Lu Yu.

The second-year team attacked, and after passing the basketball a few times, Lu Yu saw the opportunity and made a direct steal. Since the breath of the wind improved a lot, Lu Yu found that his judgment on the trajectory of the basketball became more and more accurate.

Usually in the regular season, it is a bit difficult for opponents to be more cautious and steal the ball, but when everyone takes it lightly, the cut is particularly accurate.

After the steal, Lu Yu accelerated along the sideline, Mike Miller came to delay, Lu Yu threw the ball directly to his left, and then ran out from his right sideline.

The whole audience was dumbfounded, this is... the ball has been divided?
All the moves in football are used in basketball?
After passing Miller, Lu Yu was in front of him. Lu Yu stepped into the free throw line, raised the basketball with one hand, and flew straight into the air. The fans in the entire arena seemed to be frozen, and they were all staring blankly. with this ball.

"boom!"

Buckle in!

people wake up.

The audience burst into applause almost toppled the dome of the First United Center in Philadelphia.

This time, the sophomore team had to apply for a timeout.

　The second update is coming~ In theory, there is another update, wait for me
