Basketball starts with breathing

Chapter 251 The end is also the beginning 【Subscription】

A star's historical status is closely related to whether he has an amazing performance in the playoffs. Of course, this is a rhetoric for many stars who have not played in the finals.

When it comes to historical status, don't talk about historical status if you haven't made it to the finals.

The finals are the place that can really leave a deep impression on NBA history. Even if Iverson did not have a championship, he scored 51 points in the finals, so his historical status is definitely higher than many stars who have not entered the finals.

But today, there was a rookie who scored 50+10 in the finals.

Kobe was very frustrated. In the last game, Lu Yu scored 47 points under his defense. Fortunately, the Lakers won the last game, and no one talked about the failure of his defense, but this time the Lakers lost badly, and in Under his defense, Lu Yu scored another 50 points, which made him feel bad.

What is unbelievable is that Kobe and Shaquille O'Neal were both players in the first team today, but they were beaten by a second team player Lu Yu.

Is Kobe's defense bad?

Of course, he would have been selected to the All-Defensive Team 12 times in his career, including 9 first-teams and 3 second-teams, but he couldn't guard against Lu Yu.

The two are of similar height, both have strong attacking abilities, and both of them are the type who will not give up until the last moment on the court, otherwise they will not become good friends.

On the surface, the two look very similar, but in fact Lu Yu is very good at Kobe, and Lu Yu is better at passing the ball than Kobe.

It can be seen from the situation of the game that when Kobe defends Lu Yu alone, he often needs O'Neal or other players to attack, and Lu Yu basically defends Kobe one-on-one.

It doesn't matter if you've been beaten by Kobe or singled out by Kobe.

But Kobe can't. If Kobe is passed, Lu Yu's pass will tear apart the Lakers' entire defense.

At the end of the game, the players from both sides returned to the locker room, and O'Neal was gloomy while taking a shower. This time he was cut too badly. If the next game is the same, even if he wins the championship, his statistics will be much worse than Kobe.

What's more, if you don't play well, you may continue to lose.

Kobe didn't speak. He believed that he would definitely win the next game, at least not as embarrassed as he lost now.

The entire Lakers locker room was filled with a depressing atmosphere.

At the post-match press conference, Lu Yu became the focus of the audience. The reporters asked him to talk about his feelings after winning the game.

Lu Yu said flatly: "I'm very happy to win the game, I'm in good shape today, so I got good data, but to win the game, I still have to thank the coach and teammates, especially the team who worked hard to chop sharks. A few inside players who got sent off."

There was a laugh at the press conference.

It is estimated that after today, the Bulls' slashing shark tactics will resound throughout the league.

I have never seen such a style of play where the machete was finally sent off three insiders.

The reporter asked: "Some people say that you are already the first shooting guard in the league, that you are Michael Jordan's successor, and that you will even lead the Bulls to create a new dynasty. Do you think you can do it?"

Lu Yu thought for a while and smiled: "The big score is now 2:1. My goal is to win the next game. Is it a little early to discuss the dynasty?"

Whether the Bulls can win this round of the finals is still unknown. This is not the beginning of the season. Even if the bragging is slapped in the face, it has already been a season.

Now it is blowing here, and here it is slapped in the face.

Of course, it is also possible to pretend to succeed.

But Lu Yu didn't want to take this risk. He was very clear about the strength of the Bulls. Seeing how relaxed the Zen master was when he finally disarmed and surrendered today, it was clear that he had a grasp of the next game.

The reporter asked: "You got 50+10 data today and almost broke the finals record. Do you think you will become a great player like West?"

Lu Yu was stunned for a while, and didn't react until Cartwright reminded him.

He always thought that he scored 50 points and ranked fifth in the finals scoring list. In fact, he also broke another record. The only player in NBA history to score at least 50 points and 10 assists in the finals is LOGO MAN. West.

在湖人对凯尔特人的总决赛G1，他一人carry全场，全场41投21中，轰下了53分10助3板。

Lu Yu was only three points less than him.

Cartwright said apologetically, "I replaced you, do you blame me?"

Lu Yu smiled and said, "Of course not. I care more about winning or losing the game than my own data."

Lu Yu knew that at that time, the Lakers had surrendered and raised the white flag. At this time, Cartwright could put Lu Yu on the court and continue to score points, but he was worried that the Lakers would have players to make trouble, because there must be players who didn't want to. It's a shame for the Lakers that the Bulls' leading star swiped historical stats on their heads.

If Lu Yu was injured because of this historical data, it would not be worth the loss.

To be on the safe side, Cartwright chose to replace Lu Yu.

On the one hand, it seems to respect the opponent more, and on the other hand, it also protects Lu Yu.

If the Lakers hadn't raised the white flag, it would have been another situation, breaking the historical record in the fight, and even the opponents had no complaints.

The reporter asked: "How do you evaluate your opponent Kobe?"

"I said before the start of the finals, I will not comment on Kobe, we are good friends, but on the field, we are opponents, whether his performance is good or bad has nothing to do with me, my goal is to win the game." Yu smiled.

Usually at the end of the game, they would choose to praise their opponents, saying that their opponents were not very lucky today.

But today Lu Yu took 50+10 and beat Kobe ugly enough. If he said this hypocritically at this time, he would be mocking him in disguise.

Another reporter mentioned the data obtained by Lu Yu and asked him, "Lu, do you have the confidence to surpass these basketball seniors in the future?"

Lu Yu smiled and said: "The big score is now 2 to 1. Compared with historical status, I am more concerned about whether I can win the next game."

Cartwright was very satisfied with Lu Yu's answer.

This question is actually very pitiful. If Lu Yu doesn't answer well, he will fall into a position of disrespecting his predecessors. Lu Yu directly said that he doesn't care about these now, and only cares about the current game, avoiding the pit dug by reporters.

In his previous life, Lu Yu had seen many young players being dug up and sprayed miserably because of this problem.

For example, Morant of the Grizzlies, Morant said that he very much hopes to be in the same era as Jordan, because he has a strong ability to single-handedly, so even against Jordan, he can beat his opponents. In addition, even if it is Playing rugby across borders can also blow up the best rugby players in the world.

In fact, it was just a reporter who asked him at the time, if he was in the same era as Jordan, would he believe he had the ability to single out Jordan?

He replied, "Of course."

As a result, it was rendered by the media as a topic that he wanted to blow up Jordan.

Cartwright thinks that Lu Yu, a rookie, is simply too perfect. Of course, it may also be influenced by Chinese culture. He seems to have heard that there is a middle-of-the-road in China.

If you change to a black player, it is likely to fall into the pit.

Of course, it's not that black players are not smart or have no IQ, it's just that the influence of the environment and culture has a subtle influence on a person from childhood to adulthood.

At the same time, Wang Fei, the head coach of the men's basketball team at the Chinese Men's Basketball Training Center, was immersed in shock after watching the game.

He has always known that Lu Yu is very good and the best player in China. He has been paying attention to Lu Yu since he was in the NCAA, but he did not expect that a year of NBA career would allow Lu Yu to grow to such a height.

This is not the best player in China can describe.

Lu Yu should now be one of the best players in the entire world.

Such a player, playing in the World Championships has said that in the past, is it a bit overkill to use it to play in the Asian Games?

No wonder Lu Yu asked for leave to not play last year's Asian Championships.

Playing the Asian Championships is not as intense as his usual team training, right?

Charlize Theron and his mother, Gerda Theron, watched the game together in Chicago. After returning home, Gerda Theron couldn't stop laughing.

"Charlize, I decided to go back to France this summer. You can live here yourself. If Lu Yu lives alone, you can let him move in, or you can move there."

"Mom, what are you saying, I don't understand." Charlize Khan said.

Gerda Theron rolled her eyes at her: "You really think I don't know anything, do you often spend the night at Lu Yu's house when I'm not at home, don't tell me you are just pure friendship, I don't believe you don't Roll over the sheets."

Charlize blushed: "But, he has a girlfriend."

"What are you afraid of when you have a girlfriend? Are you not his girlfriend? As long as you stay by his side, you are his girlfriend. Let other women die."

Gerda thinks that it is normal for a man to have several girlfriends before he gets married. As long as Charlize stays by Lu Yu's side, it is best to have Lu Yu's children first, so that after the two get married, Lu Yu will be honest.

According to the news, Scarlett Johansson has publicly stated that she likes Lu Yu. She is an actress that Hollywood intends to support. What advantages does Charlize have over her?
No one is young.

No one is in good shape.

It's not because of occupying the terrace near the water, otherwise Lu Yu would be too blind to get into Charlize's bed?
If Geda said these thoughts, Charlize would definitely feel that she was not biological, but there was one thing she and Geda had in common, that is, she wanted a child of herself and Lu Yu.

She didn't want to fight for a place, she just wanted a hope that belonged to her.

On June 6, Lu Yu made headlines in major sports media, and online fans were also discussing him. A superstar is rising.

Everyone didn't criticize Kobe. After all, Kobe is only a second-in-command, and he is not comparable to the leader of a team like Lu Yu.

This is a bit of shrimp and pork heart.

On June 6, the fourth battle between the two sides started.

In this game, Cartwright continued the tactics of the previous game, not because he didn't want to make changes, but because he didn't know what else could be adjusted.

Make bricks without straw.

He only had so many cards in his hand and a bunch of straights, and he couldn't play the effect of the king blow.

However, on the Lakers side, Master Zen made a big adjustment. From the very beginning, they continued to play according to the rhythm of the second half of the last game. They did not shrink defense and let Lu Yu and Miller shoot. If Lu Yu could continue to explode Kind of, even if you lose, you will admit it.

Anyway, just don't let others open it.

Absolutely do not let the Bulls appear in the last game, the whole team blooms more.

On the offensive end, Bryant reduced his shots and created opportunities for O'Neal to pass the ball. At the beginning, the two sides reached a stalemate. On one side, Bryant made a breakthrough and passed the ball to O'Neal who cut the ball, making it too late for the Bulls to even foul.

On the other side, Lu Yu kept hitting the basket to score, falling to the ground again and again.

Other fans may not understand that every time Lu Yu fell, the Chicago fans felt deeply distressed. They even wanted Lu Yu to stop fighting. If he loses, he will lose. The big deal is to come back next year.

It wasn't that Lu Yu had to fight like this, but the Zen master forced Lu Yu to fight like this.

The Zen master wouldn't give him a chance to make a three-point shot, so he left Lu Yu a mid-range shot. If Lu Yu continued to shoot from a mid-range, he would only lose the game like the first and second games.

He must leave the mid-range position to Miller, and he can only choose to hit the basket.

The score between the two sides was deadlocked until the fourth quarter, the ninth tie. At this time, the Bulls collapsed. The reason is very simple. There is no one inside. In order to protect Miller, the team's power forwards were fined. Tester topped the power forward position.

And Lu Yu moved to small forward.

Defending him is still Kobe Bryant.

The consequence of no one is that it started to collapse from the inside, followed by Bryant on the outside, and broke out again. When the Bulls contracted, Kobe's continuous shooting from the outside made the Bulls who persisted for the entire game completely graduated.

In the end, the Lakers won the game 113 to 97, the big score was 3 to 1
奥尼尔出战39分钟，25投15中，罚球16中10，砍下40分16篮板5助攻。

His free throws made the Bulls desperate today.

科比13中7，三分5中2，罚球8中7，砍下23分7篮板8助攻。

Lu Yu's performance is average. Of course, this is generally relative to G2 and G3. In this game, he scored 29 points and 7 assists, but he had 4 turnovers.

After the end of the game, Lu Yu and Kobe hugged, and neither of them said a word.

They know that the game is not over.

On June 6, the two sides started the fifth battle.

If the two sides are tied 2 to 2, this game will be the battle of Tianwang Mountain, but now the score is 3 to 1, many people know that the Bulls are out of luck.

No team in history has ever won a championship with a 3-1 margin.

The bottom line is that the Bulls have no other way to beat the Lakers today, they've played all the cards in their hands.

Many basketball experts also analyzed.

If the Bulls have a strong inside line, they may have a chance to win. The Bulls' inside line defense is too weak, and no one can stand up to O'Neal.

Their perimeter offensive firepower is not bad, Richardson has three points, Artest has defense.

Lu Yu is all-powerful on offense and defense.

The hardest part is the interior, which is either offensive, like Miller and Fetzel, or defensive, like Chandler and Oakley.

The point is, the defense can't stop O'Neal, and the offense can't beat O'Neal.

The fifth battle, no accident, the Bulls lost.

The game was uneventful, like an ordinary regular season.

After watching this game, NBA President David Stern secretly made up his mind that next season, he must promote illegal hand whistling. Lu Yu was pulled by his opponent from beyond the three-point line and could not attack at all.

The Zen master took advantage of this to restrain Lu Yu from beyond the three-point line.

If Lu Yu could fire from beyond the three-point arc, the result of this game might be different, at least some of the two teams would fight.

It's not like this year's Bulls are the same as last year's 76ers, and they only win one game.

Lu Yu, like last year's Iverson, looks like a tragic hero.

The only difference is that this year's rule change, which originally wanted to restrict O'Neal's zone defense rules, made Iverson fall from the altar. I don't know if the rule change next year will change the league structure.

After the game, Lu Yu and Kobe hugged again.

The two still didn't speak.

The two of them took completely different paths, but they were the same kind of people.

They are all hungry for victory!
It's just that Kobe was more fortunate and hugged O'Neal's thigh, while Lu Yu supported a team by himself.

To be honest, Kobe was very envious of Lu Yu.

He would rather not have this championship, but also want to be the boss of the team.

Lu Yu is very envious of Kobe...that's the championship!

If you win the championship in your rookie season, you can lay flat in the future, okay?

A player who wins a championship in his rookie season is completely different from a veteran who has spent N seasons in the league and has gone through untold hardships to win the championship.

It's a pity that this year's Bulls have too few helpers.

I don’t know if the management will make a deal during this offseason. In any case, next year and the year after will be my best time to win the championship!

In fact, it was a bit unexpected for Lu Yu to be able to reach the finals this year.

He didn't expect the Nets to be so good.

But it is precisely because of the Nets' dish that Lu Yu misestimated the strength of the Lakers. He did not expect that the Lakers would be so strong!

In fact, what Lu Yu encountered was the pinnacle of the Zijin Dynasty.

The FMVP was awarded to O'Neal. There is no doubt that O'Neal is the key figure in this round of the series. Without O'Neal, the Lakers could not have won.

O'Neal delivered a brief acceptance speech, standing in the center holding up the championship trophy and the FMVP trophy.

Kobe and Lu Yu showed envious eyes at the same time.

The 2001-2002 season officially ended.

For Kobe and Lu Yu, it may be a new beginning.

　Next season's Lu Yu begins his journey to compete for the championship, and next season's Kobe Bryant begins his journey to compete for the boss, asking for a monthly ticket~
