NBA: I just want to play soy sauce, you let me win the championship

Chapter 4

The plane landed steadily at Denver Airport, and Lu Yuanzhi felt it—huh?nothing special ah?Didn't you say Denver Plateau Devils are home?

Lu Yuanzhi, who did not believe in evil, pulled over a Kings staff member and asked him about the altitude of the Denver Nuggets' home court. He didn't know if he asked, but he was shocked when he asked. It was only 1606 meters!
No, 1606 meters is called a plateau?What about Lijiang, Xining, Kunming and Lanzhou?Which altitude does not exceed 1606 meters?I have never seen anyone think that these places are plateaus.

Speaking of plateaus, isn't it the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau at an altitude of 4000 meters?
Lu Yuanzhi was a little flustered. The traded players reported one after another, and his chances to play were getting less and less. He originally hoped that Denver Plateau would make his teammates uncomfortable at home, and he would get more chances to play. Now it seems, forget it Well, at an altitude of 1600 meters, who do you look down on!

You have to rely on real swords and guns to get playing time.

Denver is not far from Sacramento, but the Kings did not arrange a training session after arriving in Denver on the 2nd, and directly arranged for the players to stay in the hotel.

Lu Yuanzhi was extra thoughtful and specially asked to share a room with Bobby Jackson.

What? NBA players still need to share a room with each other?
Isn't this nonsense?Who can enjoy a single room except the team leader?Lu Yuanzhi, who was almost sent to the Development League, did not have this right, nor did Bobby Jackson, the best sixth man last season.

As for why you asked Bobby Jackson to be your roommate?

"Are you asking about the points of attention in the end of the confrontation at the basket?" Denver is really a remote town with no entertainment activities. Bobby Jackson can only stay in the hotel. Hearing Lu Yuanzhi's question, he didn't answer directly, and then stood up , walked behind Lu Yuanzhi, squeezed his arm, and squeezed his chest muscles.

"Bobby, what are you doing?" Lu Yuanzhi was a little flustered. He had never heard of Bobby Jackson's special hobbies, so why did he get into them?I went out of my way to find a room with him. Does this count as throwing myself into a trap?
After Bobby Jackson touched it, he stopped doing anything. Instead, he stared at Lu Yuanzhi with a half-smile, which made Lu Yuanzhi's hair grow cold.

But fortunately, Bobby Jackson looked at it for a while and then said, "You don't understand?"

understand what?Lu Yuanzhi was at a loss, what's the matter with this man, why did he play a riddle?
Seeing that Lu Yuanzhi didn't understand at all, Bobby Jackson sighed. He was really a rookie. He didn't understand this yet, so he had to explain to Lu Yuanzhi, "You are so strong, why are you worried about confrontation? You will bump into it!"

ah?What is bumping into?Lu Yuanzhi didn't understand even more, wouldn't it be a foul if he bumped into it?

"Rookie, the core of the end of a confrontation is not a layup, but a confrontation!" Bobby Jackson said with a look of hatred for iron. "Look at your body, 206cm, 107kg. You have good bounce and a strong body. If I were With a body like yours, you would have gone sideways in the NBA, and the MVP would have been weak!"

Of course Lu Yuanzhi knows that his talent is very good, but what does this have to do with the previous sentence?The core is confrontation?
Good health, want to fight, bump into?
Could it be. . .

"Bobby, you mean, after I get into the basket, I will take the initiative to fight with the defender?" Lu Yuanzhi had a flash of inspiration, as if he had caught something, he hurriedly asked Bobby Jackson.

Bobby Jackson nodded, and then began to impart his experience: "You must take the initiative to fight, and you must not hide. The more you hide, the easier it is to be blocked and interfered with. You are good at blocking shots, so you should understand this."

Lu Yuanzhi nodded as he listened, yes, when he is defending, if his center of gravity is unstable when he is pushed by an offensive player, how can he jump up? In the eyes!
Active confrontation, even if one's own center of gravity will be affected, but being prepared in advance is much better than the opponent's hasty response.

As for hitting someone, it's a foul?Come on, the basket is a reasonable collision zone, and fouls are only a problem for defenders to worry about!

"Learn the secret of confrontation finishing from teammates, confrontation finishing +5!"

Ho ho ho, the system not only endorsed Bobby Jackson's theory, but also awarded 5 attribute points. What an unexpected gain!

It seems that in the future, I will be ashamed to ask more questions. These old things still have a lot of things, so I need to explode more gold coins to help myself develop rapidly!
Lu Yuanzhi, who reached 16 points in the end of the confrontation, really wanted to try his hands in the next day's training session, and find out how to feel during the team's confrontation. What he never expected was that the general NBA team would not arrange a confrontation match at all in away games. , Everyone practiced basic movements such as footwork and shooting.

Lu Yuanzhi had no choice but to practice dribbling with the assistant coach. Fortunately, the system gave him face.

"For the first time as an NBA player to participate in the team training session (dribbling), +1 for dribbling."

Although this point of dribbling was useless, it at least made Lu Yuanzhi know that the reason why he was not awarded points for participating in training before was because he was not yet an official NBA player at that time, and after becoming an NBA player, training can also increase his points.

Well, if you only rely on free attributes to improve your skills, it would be too slow. Now there is training to supplement it, which is much more reasonable!
After the morning training session, the Kings all went back to the hotel to rest before playing an away game against the Denver Nuggets in the evening.

The Nuggets have always been the underdogs in the West, but the salary cap is there, and there are still a few star players named in the team, led by Nick Van Exel and Liv LaFrentz , played very tenaciously at home, leading by two points at 28:26 at the end of the first quarter.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the two teams replaced each other as substitutes. Lu Yuanzhi, who performed well on the court, was also very lucky to get the chance to play.

The Kings lineup in the second quarter was center Divac, power forward Hedo Turkoglu, small forward Lu Yuanzhi, attacking guard Doug Christie, and point guard Bobby Jackson.

Among them, Turkoglu and Lu Yuanzhi are similar in height and can completely swing with each other. However, Lu Yuanzhi moves faster. It would be better for him to mark the Nuggets' small forward James Posey.

Posey is a player selected by the Nuggets in their own draft. He was the 1999th pick in the first round in 18. He was able to play the main force in the first season. Now it is his third season. It can be said that he is a young player that the Nuggets focus on training. .

But everyone knows Posey, and he was Yao Ming's teammate for a year. He averaged around [-] per game and his performance was mediocre.

In the first round against James Posey, Lu Yuanzhi groaned in his heart. This guy does not have a high tactical status in the team. Even at the beginning of the second quarter, Posey played without the ball. .

I go!Posey, be brave, come single-handedly against me, otherwise how can I show my defensive skills to the coaching staff?
Although I came here to play soy sauce, but it's not without pursuit, at least let the coach see my ability!

If I don't perform often, I'm afraid the coaching staff will forget me!

It's a pity that Posey didn't fulfill Lu Yuanzhi's wishes at all. He just kept running around and screened his teammates without the ball, but he didn't get the ball, which made Lu Yuanzhi's teeth itch.

To meet such a third grader who has no desire to play singles like this is really unlucky for eight lifetimes!
Posey is also very helpless, I defend strong and attack weak, you let me stand alone?I don’t have that ability to understand!
"Bang!" The Nuggets shot and Lu Yuanzhi followed Posey at the top of the arc. He had no chance to rush back to grab the rebound, but Divac still got the ball steadily.

In this case, let’s run!

As if the starting gun sounded, the Kings' Bobby Jackson, Doug Christie and Lu Yuanzhi suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the Nuggets' half. Divac saw it and accurately passed the ball to Bobby Jackson with a flick of his wrist. Hands, and then rushed to the frontcourt with Turkoglu.

Appeared!
Kings fast break!

The most gorgeous fast break in the league was once called a "mercurial-like" fast break!Five people go on a fast break!
Bobby Jackson took the lead and rushed into the Nuggets penalty area, but the Nuggets were not slow to retreat. James Posey was even close to Bobby Jackson, and together with his teammates, the double attack interfered with Jackson's layup.

Bobby Jackson struggled with Posey in the air, and his center of gravity was slightly unstable, but he still controlled his body tenaciously and tried hard to send the ball to the basket.

The basketball spins around the hoop and spins out again.

Before the Nuggets could breathe a sigh of relief, Lu Yuanzhi followed up and jumped up high, grabbing the basketball that came out of the basket with both hands. He didn't do any fancy belly-stretching, but just poured the ball into the hoop steadily.

Don't dare to be fancy, if you buckle up for the sake of beauty, it would be too cost-effective.

Take a look, what does it mean to be cautious, what does it mean to be stable, and as for viewing?Wait until I gain a firm foothold in the NBA!
28: 28.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Kings equalized the score by Lu Yuanzhi.
