Basketball starts with breathing

Chapter 239 Do you know which team won the No. [-] pick this year? [The first update, please subscribe]

At the drawing meeting, the table tennis balls marked 1 to 14 will be placed in a jar for drawing.

Regardless of the order of selection, to choose 14 numbers out of 4 ping pong balls, at least 1001 combinations are generated, and 1000 of them will be assigned by the computer to the 13 teams they belong to.

The Golden State Warriors, the team with the worst record this season, will have 225 selections, while the 23-59 Memphis Grizzlies will have 157 selections.

Sound dizzy?

Not to mention the fans are dizzy, even NBA players and team management are dizzy, anyway, after the last round, the Warriors will have a 22.5% probability of winning the No. [-] pick.

And the Houston Rockets, only 9% probability.

This is similar to the probability of Lu Yu's previous life, that is, this season, the record of the team that should be bad is still bad, and the wings of Lu Yu's butterfly only incite the Bulls team.

But when the lottery results came out, Lu Yu realized that he guessed wrong.

The two teams that need Yao Ming the most are undoubtedly the Houston Rockets and the Golden State Warriors. After the Houston Rockets traded Olajuwon to the Raptors last year, the team centers on Francis and desperately needs a big man. Players, and the appearance of Yao Ming can not only make up for the shortcomings of the lineup, but also let the Rockets see the Chinese market behind Yao Ming.

Likewise, the Golden State Warriors have a bunch of young guards, but not a decent big man.

The most important thing is that the Warriors executives said this to the media before the lottery.

"There are many Chinese in our area. I deeply feel Yao Ming's huge influence. The team's primary goal is to introduce good players, but if we can get Yao Ming, that would be great."

Across the river from the Warriors, San Francisco has the largest Chinatown in the world. The Bay Area is the second largest city in the United States. The Warriors have already expressed Yao Ming's determination. They will be a hit here. This is David Stern. , and what all the Warriors executives are very much looking forward to seeing.

Lu Yu has established a firm foothold in the east, and Lu Yu is occupying the Chinese market in the east.

The West originally had Wang Zhizhi, but Wang Zhizhi was only a substitute in the Mavericks, far from reaching that great influence.

Is Yao Ming's strength enough to play the main force?
If you put it on a strong team like the Lakers and Spurs, you may not be able to play, but if you put it on a bad team like the Warriors and the Rockets that lack big men, they will be the main force.

As long as Stern leans a little while making stars, it's not difficult for Yao Ming to become a star for the Warriors.

As far as the Warriors' executives are concerned, they are not only interested in Yao Ming's excellent ability in the interior, they also hope to create a regional super center to start the ball market. Of course, there is a vast Chinese market behind Yao Ming. Every team in the league. Seeing that the bulls are earning a lot of money now, I am envious.

The premise is that the Warriors have to get the No. [-] pick.

Even if the Warriors don't get the No. [-] pick, as long as the Rockets aren't ahead of him, he's sure to win Yao Ming.

Because the teams with a high probability of getting the top five picks are the Warriors, Grizzlies, Clippers, Nuggets, Cavaliers and Rockets. Neither the Grizzlies nor the Clippers need big men. The Nuggets have just sent away a Chinese Players, they are very disappointed that they did not feel the vastness of the Chinese market from Battelle, and it is estimated that they are not very interested in Yao Ming.

I'm afraid that the Rockets will sign above the Warriors.

"Lu, do you know which team won the number one pick this year?" Artest slapped the ball and walked over.

"Which one?" Lu Yu asked with a smile.

In fact, he was also very anxious.

"It's the Warriors, their general manager has already told the media that they will definitely pick Yao Ming in the draft." Artest sighed: "It's a pity that our record is too good, or maybe we can make you and Your brother plays on a team."

"warrior?"

Lu Yu was stunned for a moment: "Isn't it a rocket?"

"What a joke, Lu, the probability of the Rockets getting the No. [-] pick is too low. Unless they bribe Stern, it's almost impossible for them to get the No. [-] pick."

"Well, it may also be that they failed to bribe Stern this time."

In any case, the Warriors are a good choice for Yao Ming.

In the domestic men's basketball training center, when Yao Ming learned from Zhang Mingji that the Warriors had won the No. [-] lottery and promised to choose himself in the draft, he was also secretly relieved.

Whether it is the market or the team, the Warriors are in line with the blueprint that Zhang Mingji began to paint for himself.

"Actually, the Rockets are not bad, after all, Olajuwon retired there."

Yao Ming said with a little pity.

What he didn't know was that when he went to California, he found that the legendary Olajuwon of the Rockets was waiting for him there to become his personal trainer.

As for why...

Lu Yu's brokerage company gave too much.

On May 5, the Western Conference finals started first.

Many times, people are waiting for an opportunity in their whole life. If this opportunity is missed, they will never be seen again.

Lu Yu's previous life, in 2002, the king with elegant play, gorgeous offense, and integrated offense and defense, Adelman's Princeton was like a summer flower, Sacramento's years were burning with passion, after losing to the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals, many fans said They died by the invisible hand behind them.

"History may be expressed or obscured."

Years later, NBA gambling referee Tim Donaghy expressed a page of obscured history by breaking the news: "The referee is the person of the league. In the 2002 Western Conference Finals, the league wanted the game to enter the seventh game..."

This may be the standard answer, but it is not standard enough.

This has always been a very controversial series, and it is extremely controversial. The most controversial is basically the sixth game of the series, especially the referee's penalty in the fourth quarter.

Aside from fans of all parties, Donaghy's text description alone can only say that the NBA is a commercial league, and it is understandable to let the game go to 7 games for the sake of profit. Who can win depends on their own luck.

But for G1, the Kings' loss was not wrong.

G1 is played at the home of the Kings, and the Lakers have won 12 consecutive victories on the road before, and even in the playoffs last year, they have only lost 2 games.And the king with the first record in the regular season, after welcoming Bibby, the king's elegant style of play makes the flow of the ball more aggressive.

Everyone thinks that this will be a match where Mars hits the earth. Even the Lakers guard Fisher said before the game: We regard the King as the most threatening opponent.

In fact, in the first game, both sides didn't have any tactics. They all wanted to explore the opponent's cards first.King Princeton system, the Lakers have been stable triangle tactics.

In fact, the Lakers have no tactics. They have the invincible insider O'Neal who can set off huge waves, and Kobe, who is stubborn and eager to win at the critical moment. The ball was given to Fisher, Horry, etc., so he successfully defended his title and ran towards the three consecutive championships.

Everyone felt that this was a close match. In the first game, you couldn't defend against my OK, and I couldn't stop your tactical coordination of offense and defense, but with Kobe Bryant's outbreak, the king gradually couldn't stand it.

With 1 minute left in the game, the Kings trailed by 5 points, the Lakers attacked, Kobe Bryant made a free throw and made 2 free throws.Then O'Neal blocked shots on defense, and with Bibby's 2 hits and Fisher's 4 of 2 free throws, the Kings were powerless.

结果是科比狂砍30分，还有6+5+2+2；奥尼尔26+9+4盖帽，带领湖人106比99赢下比赛。

本场大人物霍里得到18+6+3+抢断。国王队外线克里斯蒂6犯离场，韦伯和迪瓦茨各5次犯规，韦伯本场得到28+14+6。

No matter what the performance of this game is, the king who loses a game at home will win the next home game anyway.

The specific process is no different from Lu Yu's previous life.

Lu Yu is equivalent to watching the game he once watched again, and can only watch it in a hurry, because he still has to prepare for tomorrow's game.

On May 5, the Bulls played away to the New Jersey Nets.

In the past few days, many Nets fans have ridiculed Lu Yu on the Internet that he is not qualified to be the leader of a team. He was able to reach the Eastern Conference finals. It was all due to luck. The Pistons encountered in the second round can only defend.

Had the Bulls hit the Nets earlier, the Bulls players would have gone home early to fish.

At this time, McGrady, who was first defeated by Lu Yu, was not convinced. If you said that Lu Yu was not good, then I was defeated by Lu Yu. Could it be that I was even worse? The Bulls who brought him to today's results are definitely the top five in the league, so don't look down on him because he is a rookie."

Also supporting Lu Yu is Michael Jordan. He didn't even make the playoffs this season. If he keeps playing like this, the reputation he has accumulated over the years will be ruined by his grandmother's house. Yu has become a permanent stain on his player selection career, but he is still very optimistic about the Bulls, after all, this is his former home team.

"The core of the Bulls is not simply Lu Yu. Richardson's three-point breakthrough defense is very balanced. Artest has a strong body. The three of them are the core of the Bulls' outside line, and their inside line is still there. A monster like Brad Miller, I don't think they're going to have an opponent in the East, or even a first-team team in the East for years to come."

And Nets star Affirmation Martin said: "As long as Lu Yu dares to enter the penalty area, I will let him taste the taste of hot pot."

Lu Yu didn't respond, whether it was Maddie Jordan, Kenyon Martin or those black fans.

It is an indisputable fact that my strength and the strength of the Bulls will be the first echelon of the league in the next few years. With the exercise of this playoff, my five breathing methods have increased a lot, and I will go to the special field in the summer. Train the breathing of the rock, and when you return next season, you will definitely be able to take it to the next level.

And the strength of the Bulls, the team has so many child labor contracts, and there are still a few years of dividends to eat, and Krause's mouth can't be laughed at.

Lu Yu didn't respond, just wanted to wait until the game on May 5th for the black fans to see.

On the 20th, the Bulls played away to the Nets. The game was fired up by the media before the game because of Kenyon Martin's provocative remarks to Lu Yu before the game.

Kenyon Martin is like the kind of player you often encounter on the field who keeps talking and talking. It's cool to be a teammate, but it's a big head to be a opponent.

The most important thing is that he doesn't have the ability to hold the ball yet.

Lu Yu has no problem with Kenyon Martin, because the old black man in the United States said this kind of clamor without thinking at all, and he just opened his mouth, and the American media also likes to engage in some grievances and add some story color to the game. This game The game was also very hot in the media before the game.

The worst thing is that Lu Yu's own magazine actually published an article "Shocked, Little Secrets that Lu Yu and Martin Have to Tell", Lu Yu could not wait to drag Snoopy over and scold him, I have something to do with him the secret.

Snoopy is also wronged. He does not review every manuscript now, and there are editors below.

It can only be said that the corporate culture of the entire magazine has been seriously influenced by Snoopy, and it has nothing to do with whether the object being reported is the business owner.

Cartwright did a pre-game tactical analysis. In the eyes of many people, the most important thing to win against the Nets is to limit Kidd's passing, but Kidd's passing is the most difficult to defend because he is not for scoring. As for passing, his passing may be a prediction two or three steps in advance, and it can form more and less play locally. This kind of passing has caused many teams to have a headache.

But Cartwright had a whim, since he couldn't restrict Kidd, he could restrict others.

"Lu Yu, didn't you say that his nickname in China is Ji Bu Gong?"

Cartwright smiled and said, "Then I'll let him keep attacking and strangle everyone else to death. If he can get [-] points, I'll admit that he lost the game."

Lu Yu: "..."

It has to be said that since getting the best head coach, Cartwright's coaching ideas have become more and more imaginative.

Lu Yu never thought of how to beat the Nets in this way.

But what is the actual effect? ​​I still have to know it after the competition on the field. What if Kidd really won 50+ in a game?
Of course, this probability is very low, and Kidd is not Iverson and Carter.

As the referee whistle blew, the game began.

The Bulls' roster hasn't been tweaked much.

Center: Brad Miller.

Power Forward: Tyson Chandler

Small Forward: Ron Artest
Shooting guard: Lu Yu

Point guard: Quentin Richardson
In fact, Richardson is just a pseudo point guard, and the organizational axis after halftime is still Lu Yu.

The Nets' lineup did not surprise everyone, and it is still their usual lineup.

Center: Todd McClusch

Power Forward: Kenyon Martin
Small Forward: Keith Van Horn

Shooting Guard: Corey Kidles

Point guard: Jason Kidd

The Bulls and the Nets played against each other in the regular season, and they won and lost, but the regular season is the regular season and the playoffs are the playoffs, which are completely different.

Especially according to Cartwright's idea, it is not easy to strangle other points except Jason Kidd.

Their shooting guard, Corey Kidles, was the player that made the Nets miss Bryant.

In 1996, the Nets took Corey Kidles with the eighth overall pick in the first round, missing out on Kobe Bryant with the 13th overall pick.

Corey Kidders entered the league at 22 and retired after just eight seasons.

Although he does not have the strength of Kobe Bryant, he is definitely not a parallel importer. He averaged 14 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists per game in his career and is also an excellent shooting guard.

Keith Van Horn, a player known as Big Bird's successor to Larry Bird, and Tim Duncan were in good hands.

In his rookie season, Van Horn averaged 19.7 points per game, was selected to the first team of the All-Rookie Team, and helped the Nets reach the playoffs.

In the second season, he averaged 21.8 points, 8.5 rebounds and 1.26 blocks per game for the Nets, becoming a rising star at the time.The three-position white man who showed off his shooting skills was hailed as the Nets' savior at the time.

Not to mention Kenyon Martin, last year's No. [-] overall pick was a real insider thug, who could run and jump, dunk a lot, and played with passion, enthusiasm and great viewing.

He is very good at bullying power forwards who are weaker than him, and encountering opponents who are tougher than him are usually more miserable.

As for Todd McClouch, there's not much to say about him, a player with no features other than his height of 213cm.

Moreover, on the Nets' bench, Lu Yu's old rival, Richard Jefferson, was still sitting.

Richard Jefferson of the University of Arizona, who lost to Lu Yu in the NCAA Finals, ended up drafting a player higher than their school team leader Arenas.

In general, it's not as easy as you think to guard the other scorers on this team.

The jump ball began, and Miller knew he had jumped over Kenyon Martin and replaced Chandler.

As a result, Chandler didn't skip him either...

The game started, and Lu Yu watched Kidd, who was holding the ball steadily through the half, and speculated in his heart, wondering if Cartwright's tactics could be successful?
　There is one more update, it will be [-] days today...
