Basketball starts with breathing

Chapter 288 Why don't you come and get it? [The first update, please subscribe]

When the Bulls won another magic trick on April 4, Lu Yu was surprised to find that it took four wins in the first round of this year's playoffs to advance.

Unlike other players who pay attention to this rule change, Lu Yu never cared about it.

Because in his impression, the best-of-seven playoffs system is a matter of course. Last year, he was surprised by winning three games in five games, but he was just used to winning three games in the first round last year. The sudden change this year made the He found that the original rules had changed.

This rule change was strongly demanded by the owners of many teams in the first round of the playoffs, because of the five best-of-three games, they earn a lot of money from playoff tickets.

So we simply changed it to a best-of-seven system.

In other words, the Bulls have to win one more game to advance to the second round.

On April 4th, many Chinese fans sat down in front of the TV early, because today is the key battle of the first round of the Bulls playoffs. This year's Chinese fans are happy and painful, because this year Lu Yu, Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi All the teams have entered the playoffs. Lu Yu is fine in the East, and Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming in the West met in the first round. Anyway, fans will not have a day to rest. It's a question of whether you can go to work with peace of mind during this time.

On the other side of the West, the Kings and the Jazz have reached 3-0, which is the only 3-0 series in the entire playoffs except the Bulls.

The two elders of the Jazz, Xuan Ming, had already given up on themselves anyway.

The Spurs and the Suns were tied 2-2. Both sides won a victory at each other's home court. To be honest, it's not easy for the Suns, the eighth in the West, to be like this.

You know the Spurs are strong this year.

If solar power wins, it could be the most gold-rich Black Eight miracle in history.

Coincidentally, the Timberwolves and the Lakers also tied 2-2. Like the Spurs and the Suns, they will compete for the Tianwangshan battle two days later. Whoever wins the Tianwangshan will have a greater probability of advancing.

The score between the Mavericks and the Warriors, which has attracted much attention from fans, is 3 to 1. The Warriors only won one game at home. Although the team lost, Yao Ming's performance was remarkable.

So far in the series, he has averaged 21.2 points, 13.6 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game, becoming the key player for the Warriors to persist to the end of each game.

Next season, Yao Ming's tactical status will be improved. After all, this year is only his rookie season. It is already very good to be able to play like this.

Although Wang Zhizhi's statistics are not as good as Yao Ming's, and he is only a substitute in the Mavericks, his role is irreplaceable and his efficiency is very high. With an average playing time of only 10 minutes per game, he can get 14.6 points and 7.9 rebounds. The Mavericks' first substitute.

The Pistons and Bucks on the eastern side are tied 2-2, and they have to compete for Tianwang Mountain.

Before the game, no one thought that the Bucks would be so tenacious. You must know that the Bucks' players are old and small, and few can play, but it is very powerful to force the Pistons to such a degree. .

The game between the 76ers and the Hornets surprised everyone. Originally thought that the strength of the two teams was almost the same, but now the 76ers lead by a big score of 3 to 1.

Iverson is expected to advance to the next round.

It's just that their opponents in the next round will be the Bulls, and that's almost it.

The Nets and Celtics played the same game as the Bulls and the Magic. They only played three games. Now the Nets are leading 2-1 for the time being. Their game is held on the same day as the Bulls. It is estimated that after the results come out, you can roughly guess. Round of promotion teams.

Today is Lu Yu's second game in Orlando.

He left Jessica alone in Chicago and didn't bring it over, not because he was afraid of distraction, but mainly because he wanted to be bohemian and love freedom.

While warming up, Maddie came over.

"Lu, I won't let you take away the victory so easily."

McGrady was wearing a white striped home jersey and stood behind Lu Yu with a basketball in his hand. If the Bulls won the game, they would be the only team in the league to be swept in the first round.

Originally, the Kings also had a chance to sweep the Jazz, but their game was over before the Magic vs. Bulls game, and the result came out, the Jazz pulled one back and dragged the big score to 3-1, so McGrady can't lose , it would be too embarrassing to lose.

Lu Yu turned around and said with a smile: "I'm too tired to play in the playoffs, or I'll go back and buy two fishing rods, just after this game, I can rest for a few days and go fishing with you. ."

"Are you so sure that I will lose?"

"Did you not read what those basketball experts said? The probability of black eight is very low, and the probability of wanting to come back in a 3-0 situation is very low. Now you have both, don't struggle, just give up."

"..."

Maddie was speechless.

Black eight is often followed by another word, called miracle, black eight miracle!

Since 1984, the NBA playoffs began to adopt the current form of confrontation. The top eight teams from the east and the west entered the playoffs. The regular season record ranking determines the relationship between the first and the eighth, the second and the seventh. Third against sixth, fourth against fifth.

Since the first-ranked team and the eighth-ranked team have a considerable gap in strength, the eighth victory over the first can be regarded as a miracle, which is called the "Black Eight Miracles".

From 1984 to the present, in the matchup between the first and the eighth in the playoffs, there have only been two black eight miracles in total, and all of them were in the five best-of-three playoffs before 02.

In the 993-1994 season, the Denver Nuggets defeated the Western Seattle SuperSonics 3-2 due to the ruthless blocking of "Uncle Mu" Dikembe Mutombo.

In the 1998-1999 season, the New York Knicks defeated the first eastern Miami Heat 3-2 due to the lore of "CIC King" Alan Houston.

Only twice.

As for the 3-0 situation, I want to come back.

The NBA hasn't been around yet.

"It's because the probability is low, so we have to create a miracle. It doesn't mean that it won't happen. This game is the starting point for a miracle to happen!" McGrady forcibly beat himself up.

It's a pity that if fighting chicken blood is useful, Rivers will not be the king of being reversed.

After the start of the game, Lu Yu scored frequently, and the Bulls also confirmed their lead from the beginning. The atmosphere in the away game became more and more quiet, and this quietness was the best encouragement for the Bulls.

Although Lu Yu and McGrady are in different positions, they often face each other, because they are both convinced that they are the only ones who can defend the opponent and score, but after each game, they find that they have failed to defend.

In fact, it's not impossible to guard, and being able to limit the opponent to more than 20 points is already very successful.

If it is replaced by other people to defend, maybe both of them can get [-] or [-] points.

In the eyes of Magic fans, Lu Yu is a complete villain. As soon as Lu Yu gets the ball, he will be booed by the fans in the audience.

However, for Lu Yu, the more the away fans booed him, the better his performance. If the away fans shouted at him for MVP, it may be that he won't be able to attend the Magic's celebration feast after the game.

McGrady hit the basket and forced a layup.

Under Lu Yu's defense, he cut into the inside line from the left and then jumped back and shot... His posture was picturesque, but unfortunately, he didn't make it.

Miller used his body to hold up the Magic's center, but he didn't expect McGrady to rush inside again, took off directly and dunked the ball that was out of the basket again.

And caused Miller's foul.

Miller raised his hand helplessly: "I saw him flying over and subconsciously trying to block it with his hand, but he was called for a foul. I'm really a big resentment."

Cartwright immediately called a timeout. Although the team has maintained the lead so far in the first quarter, if McGrady's defense problem is not solved, it will be a hidden danger sooner or later.

In the fourth game of the first round of the playoffs, everyone wants to end this round of the series as soon as possible, so that they can have enough time to better study the opponents in the next round.

The defense of McGrady in these few games has always been Lu Yu. It's not that Lu Yu's defense is bad, but Lu Yu's defense is not bad, and the team has also won.

But in this game, McGrady couldn't hold back.

"Carlos, come down and take a rest, Ron, come on, the task of defending Tracy is given to you, Lu Yu, you go to the inside line." Cartwright arranged.

He is lightening Lu Yu's defensive tasks.

The Magic's inside line is not strong, and Lu Yuding's inside line is more than enough.

"no problem."

Lu Yu said excitedly that Cartwright could not understand why Lu Yu was so excited.

How does he know that Lu Yu has been wanting to go to the inside line all this time. Among his several breathing methods, only Yanzhi's breathing method has grown slowly. In the past, he could improve a little through training in the team and inside the team. Later, the training in the team did not increase at all. , only occasionally during the game to rub the progress bar of the inside line.

There are not many opportunities to go to the inside line in an open and honest way.

Artest also came on the field with a mission. He only had one thing on the field, which was to watch Tracy McGrady. Although his footsteps could not catch up with Tracy McGrady, he did not suffer in terms of height and weight. In addition, he often adapted to internal confrontation, so In terms of confrontation, he was not afraid at all, and he was always there against McGrady, which made McGrady very depressed.

As for Maddie's entry, isn't there Lu Yu?

As long as he enters the defensive end, Artest is fine, and he follows McGrady with half a step.

"You're as annoying as a follower!"

"Do you think I want to follow you? Don't you know how much the smell of sweat on your body? Vomit, I really can't take it anymore."

"..."

McGrady was silent for a while, then took the initiative to reach out to his teammates for the ball: "Give me the ball!"

Everyone had to admit that Cartwright arranged for Artest to defend McGrady and became a surprise soldier in this game. Not only did he not let McGrady continue his offensive, but he also continued to open the score.

Magic guard Darrell Armstrong glanced at it, Artest pestered McGrady like an octopus: "I want to give you the ball, the key is that it can't be given...

Why don't you come and get it? "
