Basketball starts with breathing

Chapter 84
Lu Yu did not accept the money from Anne Hathaway.

And told her not to listen to Scarlett like that in the future, it is best to stay away from Scarlett Johansson.

Next, Lu Yu may not have time to be distracted and should focus all his energy on the game, because their opponent in the next game is Duke University, a famous university in NCAA history.

Mark Foyou has been watching the Duke University game video, watching his hair straight, and the top of his middle-aged head is almost gone.

He had to admit that Duke University was indeed the strongest team in the Final Four.

Losing is inevitable if the Gonzaga Bulldogs don't get ready before the game.

In the morning, Mark Foyou arranged for the players to do physical training and a 5v5 confrontation. In the afternoon, he arranged to analyze the opponent's video with the players.

You can't cut your hair by yourself.

At sunset, a slanting sun shone through the glass outside the arena and sprinkled on the floor. Lu Yu and his teammates entered the tactical analysis room. Mark had turned on the projector. At this time, the last Duke game was playing on the screen. University and University of Pittsburgh game.

Duke University won the game 78:59.

Jay Williams, a freshman at Duke University, scored 19 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists. The team has more than four players in double figures, while the highest-scoring player at the University of Pittsburgh has only 12 points.

It can be seen from this that the University of Pittsburgh is completely suppressed by Duke University.

After the players arrived, Mark Foyou motioned for everyone to watch the game video.

In the first few minutes of the game, Pittsburgh kept trying to impact Duke's defense, especially Pittsburgh's leading scorer, Adam Solo, who would go straight to the basket every time he got the ball.

It's a pity that he met Sean Battier, who is best at defending the perimeter.

Solo's shot missed the rim again and again.

"Bannell's defense is horrible."

"Who can score in front of him?"

"I feel his defense is more fierce than Lu Yu's."

"Fortunately I don't have to fight him."

All the players were shocked by Battier's defense, Lu Yu secretly sighed, this is just Battier's routine operation, not to mention Battier has a good shot.

Shane made four three-pointers in this game.

He suddenly remembered the previous one-on-one match against Kobe Bryant at Madison Square Garden in New York. He hated Battier's defense even when he chatted. Although Battier is only a college player now, his defense has already begun. In its prototype form, for other teams, it is a line of defense that is difficult to break through.

At this time, Mark Foyou pressed the pause.

"As you can see, Duke's captain Sean Battier's defense will cause us a lot of trouble in terms of defensive timing and help defense awareness, especially when our team's offense is more initiated from the outside. It is equivalent to strangling our offensive firepower directly at the source."

Mark Foyou wrote about Duke University's defensive formation: "The most troublesome thing for me is that their entire team's defensive rotation is very good. With such a rotation ability, the entire NCAA can't find a second team... "

The picture moved a little bit, this time Shane was overtaken by Solo, but the players on both wings were immediately rotated, almost without any stagnation, perfectly seamless.

To be able to do such a defensive rotation shows that they must have done a lot of defensive training in peacetime, and it is a high-quality defensive training.

Mark Foyo summed it up: "In my opinion, Duke is almost a fortified version of Gonzaga."

Duke University also has their offensive and defensive core, but they divided the offensive and defensive core into two players, the offensive core is Jay Williams, and the defensive core is Sean Battier.

And the core pressure of Gonzaga's offense and defense is all on Lu Yu alone.

What's more, they also have Boozer who is much stronger than Casey Green and Zach Good in the interior.

Then the team began to discuss how to crack Duke's defense, in fact, it was more about how to keep Lu Yu from being restricted by Sean Battier.

Everyone's opinion is to use a zipper tactic to let Lu Yu get rid of Battier and launch an attack, but Lu Yu is noncommittal about this suggestion. He understands that Battier will stick to him like a dog skin plaster. Throwing him away, I'm afraid I'll vomit blood from exhaustion.

"I think we can try simpler tactics." Lu Yu said.

Everyone was stunned. Simpler tactics?

Complex tactics can't win, so what's the use of simple tactics?

Mark Foyou was also stunned for a moment, then seemed to remember something, and said thoughtfully: "Yes, the simpler it is, the more Lu Yu's stamina can be saved, and other teams think Duke is too complicated. So the desperate pull has fallen into Duke's trap, and the most important thing is that we have a core offensive and defensive player that other teams don't have, that is Lu Yu."

The other players still don't understand.

Mark Foyou can only continue to explain to the players: "In the pick-and-roll, as long as Duke University uses man-to-man tactics, we will continue to play high-level pick-and-rolls, so that Lu Yu can switch defenders in a simple way. When playing big, when Lu Yu breaks through, several outsiders must always be ready to catch the ball and shoot."

"But what if the opponent plays zone defense?" Blake Stepp asked.

NCAA allows to play zone defense, whether it is a primary zone defense such as two-three or three-two, or a staring four-joint rotation zone defense is a rule allowed by the league, and Duke University has also used it, so Black will ask such a question .

"They don't play zone defense."

Lu Yu shook his head and said, "At least they won't play zone defense for a long time, because our shooting ability on the perimeter is obviously better than theirs. They won't give up the man-marking that they are good at, and use zone defense to let us shoot on the perimeter."

"What about expanding the defense?"

"The zone defense after expanding the defense is like a sieve that leaks rice, and the loopholes will get bigger and bigger."

"I understand, as long as they dare to defend, I will shoot them to death."

Blake said excitedly.

Mark Foyou smiled: "But they don't need zone defense, but we do. We not only use zone defense, but also switch back and forth between ordinary zone defense and one-staring quadruple defense."

Staring at the quadruple, a tactic often used in European leagues.

Jay Williams is a strong RBI on the outside of Duke University. Although he is a point guard, the task of defending him will definitely fall on Lu Yu's head.

Can shoot and pass.

Jay Williams, as a point guard, is basically a hexagonal fighter, or he would not have been the No. 2002 overall pick in [-], and without Yao Ming, he would have been the definite No. [-] pick.

In other words, Lu Yu must kill him on the defensive end and not give him a chance to break into the inside.

Because once he breaks through Lu Yu's line of defense, the teammates behind him will choose to shrink. After shrinking, Shane on the outside will bring a group of shooters into the ball without mercy.

The old coach K will probably choose to play the pick-and-roll too.

Fortunately, the pick-and-roll strategy will be less effective when facing the zone defense.

What worries Lu Yu the most is Duke University's insider, Carlos Boozer. As long as Boozer doesn't explode, Gonzaga won't have a chance in this game.

After the sun went down, the sky turned yellow.

Mark Foyou glanced down at the phone, then looked at the sky outside, turned off the projector, and asked everyone to go back and think about what they saw today. Tomorrow, the team will do special running-in training for these tactics.

Lu Yu was packing his things.

Mark Foyo walked over, "Lu, someone wants to meet you, he's been waiting for you for a long time..."

Lu Yu was stunned.

"Who?"

Mark Foyou looked around and said in a low voice, "In the last friendly match against the Chinese National Youth Team, the coach of the National Youth Team was that Wang..."

"Wang Fei?"

"Yes, it's him."

"What is he doing for me?"

Lu Yu frowned slightly.

Mark Foyo smiled: "I don't think he's looking for you. He looks more like a donor, because with him, there is also Mavericks head coach Don Nelson."
