Basketball starts with breathing

Chapter 248 What are the Bulls going to do? 【For subscription】

On June 6, the third game between the Lakers and the Bulls of the NBA Finals was held in Chicago. In this home used by the Ice Hockey League Chicago Blackhawks and the NBA Chicago Bulls, there were 10 spectators.

The Chicago Bulls are definitely the most recognizable NBA team in the world.

Because "flying man" Michael Jordan - the greatest player in NBA history - has long been wearing the Bulls No. 23 jersey, light and domineering figure, fixed in the minds of every fan.

Now, Lu Yu has become a symbol of Chicago. Every fan likes Lu Yu very much, and Lu Yu gradually began to like the city of Chicago.

Young fans all want to be Lu Yu.

Many people bought Lu Yu's equipment, Lu Yu's basketball shoes, and Lu Yu's jersey.

In this city, Chinese people have gradually been respected by local whites and blacks in the United States, and even local gangs rarely "patronize" the shops run by local Chinese.

This Chinese boy who just entered the league has become the hero of the city. Although the Bulls have lost two games, but for the Chicago people, if they can play until now, even if they lose four games in a row, the Bulls this season They were also satisfied with the results.

However, the entire Chicago fans still hope that the Bulls can protect their home court as Lu Yu said. They all hope that Lu Yu can lead the Jagged Bulls in the next game and put out the arrogance of the Zijin team in Chicago. .

The entire Bulls team is rehearsing tactics these two days.

The points that Lu Yu summarized, Cartwright felt greatly inspired after listening to them. In fact, it seems that these are no secrets in the NBA coaching circle. Every coach seems to know these points, but no one has summarized all the points. At the same time, no one has tried these methods if they are used at the same time.

Because a lot of teams don't qualify.

For example, the depth of the lineup. If many teams in the league had the depth of the lineup, they would have reached the finals long ago.

Is it necessary for such a team to study tactics for O'Neal?

In other words, the imaginary opponents of many teams are not the Lakers at all, and their goal is not the championship, or even the finals. As long as they can enter the playoffs, many teams are already satisfied.

Even the Bulls, at the beginning of the season, never thought they would make it to the Finals.

Even before the playoffs started, they did not regard a Western team as their imaginary enemy. Until the Bulls confirmed that they could enter the finals, Cartwright crammed to study the Kings' tactics.

It turned out that the research was wrong, and it was the Lakers who entered the finals.

In this case, it is beyond the imagination of many people that the Bulls can enter overtime with the Lakers in G2.

Another example is the run-and-gun tactics. The league has always been dominated by big men. Of the 29 teams in the league, how many teams are run-and-gun?

To wear down O'Neal by speeding up, maybe O'Neal didn't collapse before he collapsed first.

What's more, this is a temporary tactic, and the team has not run in in the regular season.

So Cartwright's idea is to speed up as much as possible, not to run away, but also to let O'Neal idle.

Cartwright's greatest hope is Lu Yu.

Lu Yu is different from other players. Like last year's Iverson, after knowing that the team could not beat the Lakers, he made a frantic shot and exposed his image of a lone hero to fans.

Even if they lost, they won applause.

Lu Yu didn't. No matter how the game went, he would play reasonably.

Lu Hei said that he only shoots from the mid-range, never hits the basket, and never makes three-pointers. That's because the Lakers' defensive strategy is to block these two places. Lu Yu shot in these two places, and his hit rate is high. Just plummet.

Therefore, Lu Yu will always play in the right way.

Whether it is passing the ball to organize teammates or scoring by himself, he will always choose the best plan, which is something that many NBA stars do not have. Cartwright has only seen it in two people over the years.

One is Jordan and the other is Olajuwon.

However, in the past two years, in order to promote the stars, the league launched a lot of players who "even though millions of people are gone", such as Iverson, who is crazy to attack the inside line, such as Kobe, who has to vote for the lower the hit rate, such as the white horse and silver gun. McGrady, another example... Garnett who doesn't feel uncomfortable with pounding his chest.

Just according to Garnett's style of playing hard on the outside and soft on the inside, Cartwright doesn't think he will ever want to win a championship in his life.

In addition to making suggestions on the defensive end, Lu Yu also expressed some thoughts after the two games on the offensive end.

"The Lakers' defense is to expand and pull in. The expansion doesn't allow us to shoot three-pointers. The pull-in is because we feel that we can't touch their inside line, and it can also save O'Neal's physical strength."

"The next game, we will play the pick-and-roll. The purpose of the pick-and-roll is not to let me stagger Kobe's defense, but that I can hit the inside more easily."

After Lu Yu finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that Lu Hei said on the Internet that he never attacked insiders.

The G3 game will be rushed to show you.

"Of course, my purpose of attacking the inside line is not to let O'Neal give me a hot pot."

Lu Yu glanced at the teammates around him, and the teammates also laughed: "Our team has no shortage of shooters, Ron, Quentin, you are ready to catch the ball, as long as they shrink, you will shoot boldly outside. , if you put it in, it will count for you, but if you don’t put it in, it will count for me.”

Cartwright said the same thing last time.

"What if they don't shrink?" Cartwright asked.

"Then it depends on Brad's high shot. As long as Brad makes a few high shots, O'Neal will not dare to stay in the paint. He is not in the restricted area, so I will continue to attack the basket and attack him. Dare to go out, other people have to recycle to rotate Brad for that."

Cartwright understood.

This tactic is actually very simple, so simple that many teams can copy it.

But sometimes I think it's complicated. In fact, the simpler the tactics, the more effective it will be.

Of course, whether it has any effect or not, we still have to go to the stadium to know.

At least everyone has an idea.

In the past, the team's play style was that Lu Yu was the core of the attack. He broke through the ball through singles, or other players' zipper tactics. Various countercuts and pick-and-rolls were also useful, just one of their tactics.

But Lu Yu simplified these, the team only played the pick-and-roll, and other tactics were executed after the pick-and-roll.

Whether it is a reverse cut or a zipper, it is a continuation of the pick-and-roll tactics.

The purpose of the pick-and-roll is also very simple, one is to crack the opponent's pinch attack, and the other is to make it easier for Lu Yu to cut in.

Different from the Jazz's pick-and-roll for the sake of pick-and-roll, Lu Yu's pick-and-roll is just to pave the way for other tactics.

This tactic is not advanced, the only difficulty lies in the processing ability of the core of the ball. If Lu Yu's handling is not good enough, or the other players are not in good condition, the ball that should be scored will not be scored, and it will be no use.

No matter how clear the tactical arrangement is, on the court, the state of the players is the key to determining the outcome.

During training in the morning, everyone was in good shape, especially Richardson. No matter how he shot, Lu Yu wanted to advise him not to shoot, not to finish the ball at night.

Richardson didn't play well in the first two games, and he was also very depressed. Logically, he is the person who should stand up when the team is in trouble. He is so much higher than Fisher, but... the first game I was really beaten, and the second game can only be said to be lost due to luck.

Richardson decided that he must help Lu Yu win the game.

Now there are so many people on the Internet who are harassing Lu Yu, he blames himself very much, because sometimes the opportunity comes, but he doesn't make the shot, but the fans only blame Lu Yu for passing the ball.

Artest also felt that he should be tougher. He believed that as long as he appeared in position, Lu Yu would definitely pass the ball to him. Having been teammates with Lu Yu for a long time, he believed in Lu Yu unconditionally.

Miller is more willing to help Lu Yu in the pick-and-roll. He has to entangle with O'Neal in the interior when defending, and fight with O'Neal when attacking. Now his task is much lighter, he only needs to throw the ball passed by Lu Yu. Just do it, you can score, and you can help the team, so why not do it.

When the players came out, Lu Yu was cheered by the fans in the audience. This is Lu Yu's home court, and he is the master of the city.

CCTV broadcast the game, Zhang Weiping said: "To be honest, the atmosphere of Chicago fans is really good, and Lu Yu is really popular here. He went from a rookie to a team leader in just one season. ."

Sun Yiping said: "It can only be said that Lu Yu has conquered the Chicago fans with his performance in one season. It is true that Lu Yu is a rookie, but at the same time, he is also one of the best players in the league."

Zhang Weiping sighed: "Last year, we never thought that there would be such an NBA-level superstar among Chinese players. Now I'm already looking forward to the World Championships this summer."

In this summer's World Championships, the Chinese men's basketball team has Lu Yu, Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, Battelle, Yi Jianlian, Zhu Fangyu, Wang Shipeng, Du Feng... Such a team can play for at least ten years.

Zhang Weiping doesn't know what kind of position Lu Yu can bring the Chinese men's basketball team to.

When Kobe came out, he was booed by the fans.

It was because of Kobe's defense that Lu Yu was so uncomfortable in these games, but for Kobe, the more boos, the more it showed that he had done what he should have done in these games.

It would be strange if Bulls fans applauded Kobe Bryant.

Could it be that when the Bulls won the championship, they had to wait for Kobe to arrive before they could open the table?
During the warm-up, Lu Yu threw a few balls to test the feel, and the hit rate was good. He knew that if the hit rate was very good that day, it means that the feel bonus of Yanzhi's breathing method played a certain role.

The bonus of the Breath of Fire is not an unlimited increase.

Lu Yu estimated that he had a percentage. If the hand felt bad that day, it means that the base is low. If the base is low, the bonus percentage is useless no matter how high it is.

The Lakers' starting lineup remains the same: Fisher, Kobe, Fox, Walker and O'Neal.

The Bulls made two adjustments in their starting two games.

The first time Oakley was put on the starter, the second time Chandler was replaced.

Today is the third game, and it's actually Fezel!
The reason why Cartwright made this adjustment is firstly to improve the offensive speed. Fezel is responsible for helping Miller on the defensive end. On the offensive end, he has a good shot. In addition to Miller, Lu Yu also has a good shot. There is the option point of Fezel.

The second is because, in Cartwright's game, he was going to cut the shark from the very beginning!
Miller's point is very important. Whether the opponent will shrink the defense depends on Miller's shooting, so there must be no problems. In this way, the task of fouling falls on the power forward.

As long as O'Neal wants to beat Miller, the power forward will foul wildly.

There are also two backup power forwards off the court, they are all full of fouls, and then pick from other backup players, as long as they can top them, they will all top them.

If O'Neal made a penalty, he recognized it. If he didn't, the Bulls made a profit. Not only did they keep Miller, but they also gained an advantage by slashing the shark.

And this shark slashing action is not a certain section, a certain time period, but a whole game!

Of course, this slashing shark is not like Popovich's slashing shark without the ball, that is when the score is close, relying on the slashing shark to recover the score or maintain the lead.

And Cartwright's slashing of sharks is that O'Neal is in a position where he can force a score, or a position where it is easy to cause Miller to foul, and the power forward is fouled in advance.

O'Neal jumped the ball to get the ball and the game started.

Kobe Bryant attacked with the ball. As soon as he came up, he punched Lu Yu. Lu Yu followed and retreated. He originally thought that Kobe would stop at this time, and passed it to O'Neal in the low post. As a result, Kobe did not pause at all and went straight to the basket. Kai Lu Yu made a layup.

0 is better than 2
Lu Yu glanced at Kobe in surprise.

In fact, Lu Yu was criticized by Lu Hei during this time, and Kobe was also criticized by Ke Hei, saying that he was just a second-rate player who could win the championship by relying on O'Neal. The OK combination only has O, and K is a joke.

Kobe wanted to prove himself.

He wants to tell everyone that he can win the game and that he is the right choice for the Lakers.

But the Lakers are still O'Neal's Lakers, not only the fans, but even the management, head coach, teammates, they all think that O'Neal is the boss of the team.

Kobe can only vent his emotions on the court.

So as long as he has the opportunity to play hard, he will directly choose to score. Of course, he is not a player who is not clear-headed. He knows that the game must be won, otherwise what he does will become the reason for losing.

He won't fight like this all the time, the occasionally exposed fangs occasionally vent his emotions, which is what he can do and wants to do.

Lu Yu didn't care, it was just a little strange.

The Zen master off the field inadvertently frowned.

This little episode did not affect the progress of the game. Soon Master Chan frowned even more, because he was stunned to find that the Bulls only took more than 9 seconds from the start of the serve to the end of the attack.

9 seconds!
What are the Bulls going to do?
