Chapter 194 I Won't Lose to the Little Blacksmith! [The third update, please subscribe]

The entire United Center Arena was boiling, and everyone seemed to be completely ignited by Lu Yu's deduction.

Gasol also stared blankly at the back of Lu Yu's No. 10 jersey. Wasn't he still outside the three-point line just now?How could he just turn his face and rush into the inside battle axe?When did you get in on the inside?Is Shane Battier's defense papery?
The Grizzlies attacked, but in the face of the Bulls' strict defense, the shot missed the basket.

Chandler grabbed the rebound, Hassel advanced to the front court and handed the ball to Lu Yu. Lu Yu and Chandler picked and rolled in the middle. Without getting rid of Shane Battier, they hit the ground before the pinch appeared. Artest cut sideways.

Artest threw himself in the air, causing a foul on Blevin Knight on the guard, making both free throws 27:19.

Xu Jicheng agreed: "Lu Yu and Artest cooperated well. Chandler's pick-and-roll made the Bulls completely empty the inside line. They should play more of this kind of empty cut."

Yu Jia said: "If you change other Bulls guards to play this kind of pick-and-roll, you will definitely not be able to play. You are like Guyton and Hoiberg. After their pick-and-roll, the opponent's guard can easily catch up, and it can't attract the inside defense at all."

Grizzlies attacked, Knight ran the ball and shot under the interference of Artest, and Miller grabbed the backcourt rebound.

In the last 14 seconds, the Bulls had enough time to make the final attack. Hassel passed to Lu Yu after halftime, pulling away to attract the defense.

White Chocolate hesitated for a moment, wondering if it should follow.

In the end, he chose to let Hassell go and help Shane attack Lu Yu. Just after the passing, the basketball flew from Lu Yu to Hassel. Hassel broke through the inside line. He was not confident in his shooting, so at the last moment it was given to Lu Yu, who reluctantly shot and hit the ball.

27 to 19, the Bulls took the lead to end the first quarter.

It can be seen from the last ball that sometimes, Hassel's handling of the ball still relies too much on Lu Yu.

At this point during the break, Cartwright criticized Hassel.

In the second quarter, both sides adjusted their lineups. Miller, who had rested for a while, came on as a substitute, while Lu Yuxi rested.

In the previous games, Lu Yu often played 378 minutes. Sometimes he had to bring a substitute on the court during the second quarter rotation. The rest is usually garbage time or when he is troubled by fouls. Now Cartwright has found a tactic to use Lu Yu reasonably. , and rest assured to let others play a dozen more, after all, they led so much in the first quarter.

Crawford and Miller played pick-and-rolls, reducing the number of Miller's strong plays inside, and Miller was also a lot easier.

Miller pulled to the three-point line for cover, Crawford made a lateral step and then stepped back for a three-point shot. The Grizzlies defender did not bypass Miller, and the players who switched defenses also changed slowly.

Crawford hits the ball, 30:19
The Grizzlies attacked and scored two points through conduction.

The Bulls attacked. Crawford made another three-pointer with a pick-and-roll, but unfortunately he didn’t make it. Crawford’s offensive path has nothing to do with the team’s conventional tactics, and it does not conform to the current situation. The closer to the basket, the higher the scoring efficiency. The concept, but Cartwright does not call a timeout, and the old gods are on the sidelines as the audience.

Xu Jicheng commented: "Crawford throws a three-pointer whenever he has a chance. Sometimes he scores and sometimes he doesn't. It belongs to a player who depends on the sky."

Yu Jia smiled and said: "But sometimes it's really useful, especially when the second team is trying to score points. He can often make many underdogs smashed."

In this era, people who threw 5.7-pointers are all outliers. Ray Allen averaged only 2.3 4.7-pointers per game and 1.8 hits per game. Reggie Miller also averaged 4 [-]-pointers and [-] hits per game, but Crawford It's just a substitute. Now the average number of shots per game is approaching [-] times. How much time does he play?

The Grizzlies attacked, and Williams' shot was on target and could only be scored by breaking through.

There was only one strong point on the field, White Chocolate. Crawford and Hoiberg resolutely double-teamed him. Williams couldn't break through.

Mercer in the middle made up in time to interfere with the opponent's shot, and Oakley grabbed the rebound.

5 minutes later, Cartwright sent Lu Yu, replaced Hoiberg, and kept Crawford on the court. Crawford became a point guard, but he became a soy sauce on the offensive end. Can hand over the ball to Lu Yu according to the coach's arrangement.

Lu Yu didn't let him idle, but whenever he encountered a pincer attack, he would definitely throw the ball to him.

His shooting is much more reliable than Hassell.

Near the end of the halftime, the Bulls' lead expanded to 17 points. The Bulls led the Grizzlies 55-38. Lu Yu scored 21 points and 9 assists.

"Pau Gasol still has an eye-catching performance. So far, he has scored 15 points and 7 rebounds, but this performance is still much worse than today's Lu Yu. With Gasol alone, the Grizzlies want to It is still very difficult to win, I think the Grizzlies need others to stand up." Yu Jia pursed his lips and asked, "Guide Xu, who else can save the Grizzlies in this game?"

Before the start of the game, Xu Jicheng also predicted that the Bulls would lose the game, but he did not expect that the half-time game was not over, and the Grizzlies had already been beaten by the Bulls.

Xu Jicheng said embarrassingly: "I didn't expect the Bulls to solve the problem on the offensive end in this game. In fact, there was no problem with their offense, but other teams in the league made targeted arrangements for their lineups. You must know a season. 82 games into the regular season, when a team has been researched by other teams, it's difficult to win games, but congratulations to the Bulls today, they seem to have found their own formula for offensive play."

"As for who can save the Grizzlies? White chocolate is definitely not good. His offense is like constipation. It is very difficult to figure out. Battier can only add the icing on the cake. If he wants to survive, the possibility is basically zero."

"I saw the Grizzlies sent Swift before the end of the second quarter." Yu Jia laughed.

"Swift?" Xu Jicheng smiled: "Expecting Swift to save the team? Swift is either jumping high now, or on the way."

Swift was fluttered by Lu Yu several times as soon as he came on the court, and it was a little shadowy for him to make up for Lu Yu now.

"Haha, Director Xu is really joking." Yu Jia laughed loudly: "Let's look at the Grizzlies' last attack in the first half, uh... White chocolate was pressed for the last five seconds, breakthrough, pull back, three Split shot... the ball went in, it was a beautiful shot!"

"Well, it's a good goal for White Chocolate to score this goal. It's a bit too embarrassing to be ashamed and brave," Xu Jicheng said.

"Director Xu is still too early to say these things. The game is just over halfway through. Let's take a break and continue to watch the second half of the game after the halftime break."

As soon as the TV screen changed, it entered the commercial time.

Because of the advertising time, Xu Jicheng became addicted to smoking, and after applying with the director, he went to the backstage and lit a cigarette for himself.

Lu Yu is indeed a rare defender in China for decades. He is not at all like a domestic defender who has difficulty dribbling the ball through half court against European and American opponents. He makes sharp breakthroughs, precise shots, and incredible assists. It's his weapon of choice in the NBA.

As the Bulls play better and better in the NBA, Lu Yu's popularity among Chinese fans is increasing day by day, and has even surpassed Wang Zhizhi's popularity in China. This is an amazing thing in the eyes of many people. I think it should be reasonable. After all, although Wang Zhizhi has stabilized his rotation time in the NBA, he is only a substitute after all, and is completely incomparable to Lu Yu being the boss of an NBA team.

Since when did everyone start paying attention to Lu Yu?
Xu Jicheng started when Zhang Weiping robbed him of several broadcast guest seats, but to really know Lu Yu, we still have to start when Lu Yu was in the NCAA.

Maybe it was Lu Yu's first fight, or maybe it was a friendly match with the National Youth Team. I believe that many Chinese fans have known the name Lu Yu since then. He used his own strength to win the NCAA championship. Having won this year's MOP, it can even be said that the Bulls choose Lu Yu because of Lu Yu's strength, not the Chinese market behind Lu Yu.

Lu Yu did not disappoint all the fans, despite the previous losing streak, the Bulls' previous play style was targeted by other teams in the league, and everyone was waiting for the Bulls to make changes.

But how?

No one knows, because there are dozens of tactics for a team, and it affects the whole body, and even a little change may affect the future of one or even several players.

Just like when Lu Yu first entered the NBA, in order to straighten Lu Yu, head coach Floyd left, last season's point guard Drew was reduced to a bench, and now he can't even play, power forward Marcus Fezel completely decadent.

How many people will be affected by this adjustment?

No one knew that before the adjustment, Lu Yu silently carried the team forward.

If a team wants to play together, someone has to change, and Lu Yu's change has driven the overall chemical reaction of the team. If you don't change this team and I don't change, there will only be a dead end.

Xu Jicheng didn't know what caused the change of the game, but with Lu Yu's change, the whole team came back to life.

The Bulls' current style of play, as long as Lu Yu is there, this team will become a powerhouse in the NBA in the future.

I just don't know, is this style of play suitable for the future Chinese team?
How to arrange the positions of Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi?

Will head coach Wang Fei learn from the Bulls' style of play?
"Guide Xu, the second half of the game will start soon." Yu Jia came over and greeted him.

Xu Jicheng quickly pinched out the cigarette and returned to the broadcast room.

"Let's watch the second half of the game together. The score is now 55-41. Lu Yu... oh, Lu Yu didn't play." Xu Jicheng was slightly disappointed.

"It seems that Cartwright wants Lu Yu to take a break and also wants to use this time to adjust the rotation... The combination of Crawford + Mercer + Chandler and Oakley, this is the Bulls' bench bandit. Wait, the camera is on Lu Yu, and a little girl behind Lu Yu?" Yu Jia found that the broadcast camera was not facing the game.

Xu Jicheng was also stunned for a moment. They didn't know who the little girl was interacting with Lu Yu at this time. They didn't react until the director typed the information on the teleprompter.

"This little girl's name is Kristen Stewart. She was the little girl that Lu Yu rescued in Los Angeles. I didn't expect her to come to the Chicago United Center to watch Lu Yu's game."

Lu Yu was also stunned for a moment. He almost didn't recognize that the little girl in front of him was the tomboy who was beaten that day.

In order not to be mistaken for a boy by Lu Yu, Stuart specially added a long hair to himself, transforming from a tomboy to a slim little girl.

"Brother, you didn't play well. I went to see Uncle Bryant's game a few days ago. He scored 40+ points. You only got 19 points after playing for so long." Stewart pouted.

With a straight face, Lu Yu patted Stuart's head: "Call it uncle!"

The camera recorded this warm scene, and many reporters were overjoyed, because tomorrow's news was written with other material besides the game.

No one knew that Lu Yu had aroused his competitive spirit under Stewart's aggressive approach.

"I won't lose to the little blacksmith!"
