Chapter 289 The duel between Lu Yu and Iverson is coming! [Second update, please subscribe! 】

McGrady is finally getting to the ball.

At the top of the arc, he drew a circle in front of him with the spherical frame in one hand. After a tentative step, he directly started and rushed in from the right. Artestka stayed by his side and moved into the inside line with him, etc. When approaching the basket, McGrady suddenly made an emergency stop.

This emergency stop was enough to make Artest rush forward. At this time, McGrady used his left foot as the axis, turned around and dodged Artest's defense, and then cut directly to the basket from the other side with a jump. The whole person bounced directly, and the ball was thrown into the basket from the other side of the basket.

"This ball is very beautiful!" Xu Jicheng, who was in charge of CCTV's commentary, praised: "From this series of actions, we can see how perfect the combination of McGrady's body and technology is, but so far this is one of his few wonderful performances. ."

"The Bulls arranged a strange lineup, and Lu Yuding took the position of power forward. I don't know why?" Yu Jia asked a lot of questions from the fans' hearts.

"I guess, of course, it's purely a guess. The Bulls coach is purely to maintain Lu Yu's physical strength, but McGrady is on the court, and he doesn't dare to replace Lu Yu easily. You can look at the score, just after the second quarter. At 37:23, there was a fourteen-point difference, and Lu Yu changed to the power forward position, so it was obvious that the defense was not at a disadvantage."

"Can Lu Yu play a power forward?"

"Of course, maybe it's not suitable for him to play a power forward. How do you understand it? He is just defending the opponent's power forward. Lu Yu has already laid a good foundation for the point difference in a short period of time. At this time, he only needs to defend McGrady. Don't let the Magic catch up with the score, and Lu Yu also saves his energy on the offensive end, so as long as the Bulls score consistently higher than the Magic, they can win the game."

"If you say this, I will understand. Lu Yu saves his energy to defend the opponent's interior, because the Magic's ability to score in the interior is weak, and if the Magic sends McGrady to defend Lu Yu on the offensive end, then McGrady's physical strength is to ask him, if not Get on McGrady, then Lu Yu can easily score... This tactic is a bit interesting."

"A good athlete only sees victory, and tactics are not good or bad." Xu Jicheng said proudly: "Lu Yu is the best basketball player."

It was at this time that the Magic applied for a substitution, and at the same time, Cartwright of the Bulls also changed into a substitute lineup without hesitation. When he saw the list of substitutions from both sides, Xu Jicheng smiled even more happily.

"The Bulls did not replace Lu Yu, and Lu Yu continued to defend the opponent's power forward, which made the Magic dare not replace McGrady. The Magic's head coach didn't look good. Grant Hill was reimbursed for two consecutive seasons. Let the Magic become the underdog in the playoffs, I just want to say a word for him about this game, it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice..."

Xu Jicheng's last joke made the fans all laugh.

Lu Yu didn't mean to be polite at all. As an offensive core, he often asked to back up and single against McGrady in the penalty area, which gave him enough strength and made McGrady extremely uncomfortable.

At this time, all the talents discovered that Lu Yu's back-to-back technique turned out to be so good.

"Why did you rarely see Lu Yu hitting him with his back?" Yu Jia asked suspiciously.

Xu Jicheng said, "This is what makes Lu Yu smart. He knows better what he should dare to do when?"

If Lu Yu runs with McGrady, McGrady may waste his energy on the defensive end, but it will not be uncomfortable, but the confrontation on the inside not only makes McGrady's physical strength drop rapidly, but also makes McGrady play particularly uncomfortable.

Tracy McGrady has begun to feel the decline in physical strength. The Magic head coach knew that if McGrady was not given a rest at this time, it would be difficult for McGrady to last until the fourth quarter, so he replaced McGrady and rested for a few minutes.

But in just a few minutes, the Bulls widened the difference to [-] points.

The entire first half of the game looked very intense, and the technical and tactical levels of both sides were also very high. It can be seen that the coaching level of the Magic head coach, but the Magic team has obviously fallen into the pit of the Bulls, and McGrady has also fallen into the Azerbaijan. Tester's entanglement.

As Xu Jicheng said: "When the strength is obviously backward, the enemy's strategy is also hit, even if Zhuge Liang is alive, it can't be saved. After all, there is no empty city strategy on the basketball court."

It's lighthearted in the Bulls' locker room.

"Lu, no matter who the opponent is in the second half, you attack fiercely. Their backline poses no threat to you, but don't be ignorant. If you feel bad, pass the ball to your teammates. We All the shooters feel good today... Quentin and Richard, you just need to shoot the ball into the basket. As long as the Magic team defends Lu Yu, you will have the opportunity to shoot. Let them shoot their outside shots. Those two guys don't have enough baskets to fear, just get ready to rebound."

Cartwright sees through, Jacqui Vaughn and Armstrong's basket... forget it, forget it.

The Magic team's lounge is also nervously arranging tactics.

"Everyone must move. We are already behind by a lot of points. If we want to win the game, we must chase, speed up the game, and we can't fight each other in position. Jacqui and Darrell, you have to cut to the basket long and short, Don't shoot on the outside at will, if there is no chance, give Tracy a cover and let him get rid of the annoying Artest on the opposite side, except for that Artest, Tracy has no problem hitting other people."

He seemed to forget that McGrady was defended by Lu Yu in the first three games.

McGrady just listened silently. He closed his eyes throughout the break, and only opened his eyes when the break was about to end and was ready to play: "I must get the score back!"

Meanwhile, the Bulls have played.

Lu Yu and Artest stood side by side on the court, and the camera was aimed at them. This is the earliest bull duo. Although they are rarely seen standing together now, it does not affect Artest. The importance in the team, they stood calmly on the sidelines, chatting with each other.

"Are you broadcasting in China today?"

"change."

"That can't be lost. My agent told me that I have to win more Chinese fans."

"Row."

Artest and Lu Yu have been teammates for almost two years, and they gradually understand the importance of the market to a player, mainly because with the market, there is more money.

He knew Lu Yu's desire to win, and he also knew Lu Yu's loss after losing the finals last year. When the Bulls were sure to win 77 at the end of the season, he secretly swore that he would definitely do it for Lu Yu and himself. To get the championship!
At the beginning of the second half of the game, the Magic team continued to use the empty cut to start a violent attack, but the Bulls were attacked by their opponents with a 13-0 attack wave as if they were not well prepared, and the score difference was suddenly reduced to seven points.

Empty cut!

The opponent has been cutting in the air all the time, not falling into the position to attack according to the routine, there is no strong attack from the inside, and there is no random shot from the outside.

The most important thing is that Lu Yu was misfiring and was hit by Cartwright's crow's mouth.

Cartwright hurriedly called a timeout and replaced Crawford, hoping to use Crawford's shot to open the offense. He didn't have a good way for the team's defense for a while.

After McGrady watched Crawford play, he began to spam Lu Yu.

"Hey, are you Bulls expecting this guy Jamal to guard me?"

"His offense is okay, but his defense is so bad, I can knock him out."

"Your head coach's brain must be hilarious."

Crawford was expressionless, and suddenly raised a high position to do a screen. Hamilton swept past him, and McGrady was startled, hesitating for a second between switching and not switching.

Armstrong saw that Hamilton received a pass from Lu Yu and decided to pounce. The moment he pounced, he saw Hamilton score the ball.

"not good!"

Although McGrady was spouting trash talk, when he analyzed it before the game, he knew that Crawford couldn't do anything else, and his shooting in the chaos was his specialty.

He wanted to pounce, but it was too late.

Crawford raised his hand and shot out. The basketball crossed a perfect arc and fell into the basket, instantly igniting the home that had been silent for a long time.

I didn't pay attention to the boos from the fans and didn't look at anyone's expressions. Crawford just said something softly after the shot, McGrady said,
"That's why the coach brought me up!"

"Nice job!"

Lu Yuchong gave Crawford a thumbs up.

The domestic fans cheered when they saw the goal. Although they have not watched Crawford's wonderful performance in the Bulls in the past two years, it does not prevent them from sighing every time they see such a player playing the bench?

Playing off the bench is incredible for a player with such a good offense.

There is Artest, he will be willing to play off the bench.

Many fans don't know that it is precisely because of Lu Yu's existence that they choose to stay in the Bulls, even if they are on the bench.

Before Lu Yu came, they were the fish belly team of the league. Anyone who saw him wanted to bully them. But since Lu Yu came, everything has changed. They have started to win, and they have been winning, and they have been winning. , won last year's finals and won the 77-game winning streak this year. They found a sense of belonging here. They are willing to follow Lu Yu and work with Lu Yu to win the O'Brien Cup on the top of the mountain!

Even Xu Jicheng, who was in charge of the commentary, couldn't help but sigh: "I have to say, this is Lu Yu's personal charm."

Crawford's three-pointer also widened the point difference to double digits again.

In fact, many teams are willing to make an offer to trade Crawford, but the management feels that the opponent's offer is inappropriate, and secondly, they are reluctant to dismantle such a team with 77 wins.

For the Bulls, they are more willing to maintain stability. Such an output lineup allows the team to at least guarantee tickets to the finals. If they lose, it is not too late to make adjustments this summer.

At this time, if you make adjustments, it is the biggest variable.

However, the management of the Bulls are also worried. They are worried that Lu Yuxia will continue to play for the Chinese men's basketball team. If the task of the national team is heavy, it will be a big hidden danger to the health of the players.

There was also a public opinion survey online that Wang Zhizhi, Yao Ming, Lu Yu and the three did not return to China to participate in the Asian Men's Basketball Championship. Most people support them, but only a small number of people think that Wang Zhizhi, as a substitute player in the NBA, is not qualified to replace the national team. Ask for more...unless he can become the core of the team like Lu Yuyao Ming.

These people were later collectively referred to by fans as the ball black.

The game on the court was still going on intensely. McGrady threatened to take a jump shot with a slight distance away, but unfortunately, under the interference of Lu Yu, the basketball still missed the basket.

Yes, Lu Yu felt a pity.

After Artest went down, he came back to defend McGrady.

The ball bounced quickly, Brad Miller jumped early, and the basketball flew out with a nudge at his fingertips.

"Jamal!"

Cartwright yelled, but by the time he called out, McGrady had picked up the rebound and shipped it to the [-]-point line ahead of Crawford.

Cartwright sighed. He often heard Lu Yu's saying that you can't have both. Crawford and Artest are two extremes. One can attack and is proficient. All kinds of offensive techniques, but the defense is sloppy, and the other person is proficient in defense, and anyone can defend against it, but when attacking, hitting the iron is the main theme.

The team will be caught up with the score by the opponent this time, and another very important reason is that the rebounding protection is not good.

McGrady did not force, but handed the ball to Armstrong for reorganization. Armstrong bowed his head and took two steps. Suddenly a through ball passed the ball to McGrady, who had relocated inside. McGrady made a fake pass, but the ball did not pass. It didn't pass out, but after shaking it for a while, he suddenly turned around and hit the ball into the frame.

Lu Yu defended the ball very well, but he didn't keep up and was scored by the opponent in the last step.

On the basketball court, the offensive side had the initiative, but Lu Yu's defense still put a lot of pressure on McGrady, which was beyond McGrady's expectations.

He originally thought that Lu Yu had lost his position this time.

The ball reached Lu Yu's hands, and Lu Yu encountered a double-team. This is already recognized by the league as the most effective way to deal with Lu Yu in the playoffs. Although Lu Yu's super scoring ability in the regular season has caused many opponents' double-teams to collapse, But the playoffs are not the regular season, and the double-teaming intensity of the playoffs is obviously higher than the regular season.

"Snapped!"

Lu Yu suddenly pulled the explosive ball back, and quickly connected with the shipping and rushed out of the gap, rushing straight to the inside line like a fish.

"Lu Yu's methods of breaking double-teams are really becoming more and more diverse. I believe other teams in the league will consider carefully when they double-team Lu Yu in the future." Xu Jicheng said.

Thank goodness Maddie.

McGrady has not been involved in defending Lu Yu during this period of time. He just watched Lu Yu's every move from the sidelines, so he was the first to spot the line of defense that Lu Yu had broken through, and took the lead in taking a good position.

"Just kidding, plus you have three people defending me, can't I see the teammates' vacancies?"

There was no way for Lu Yu to rush in, but he didn't want to rush in at all. When he saw Maddie standing, his eyes had already seen clearly the movement of his teammates.

When Maddie appeared in front of him with a dignified face, the ball in his hand flew to the side with a swish.

Then brake immediately to prevent hitting McGrady from being called an offensive foul.

The ball flew into Richardson's hands.

Richardson began to look for weak side moves when his opponent double-teamed Lu Yu. At the moment Lu Yu broke through, he was already standing in an absolute vacancy.

Darrell Armstrong, who was defending Richardson, was shocked, but it was too late to pounce back.

"You really don't take me as a star?"

Richardson almost wanted to laugh. When he was in the Clippers, the biggest headache for other teams was defending his outside shots. With the arrival of the Bulls, he became Lu Yu's assistant. Now other teams have a headache. The person has become Lu Yu, and Richardson seems to have become dispensable, but the average 20+ data is still slightly higher than that of the Clippers. Richardson just faded his edge.

"Then don't blame me!"

He took off quickly and put the ball in with a very standard shooting posture, as ruthless as he has done countless times in training.

……

Lu Yu's continuum changed direction and threw off the defense, forcing the Magic to shrink the defense. Just when the opponent was shrinking, the ball in his hand disappeared.

Richardson continued to fire from beyond the three-point line and hit!

……

Richardson feinted the defender, moved to the right, and then raised his hand to shoot.

The Nets made a crisp sound.

……

"Nice job!"

When the players left the court, Cartwright couldn't help shouting excitedly. During this time, Crawford and Richardson's excellent performances widened the point difference, and every shot seemed fatal. Like poison sprinkled on the wounds of the enemy.

Cartwright did not arrange other tactics, because for the players, every tactic he usually practiced was clear to him. As long as he stood on the court, he would arrange the most suitable tactics for his teammates.

From the fourth quarter, the Magic did not dare to double-team Lu Yu, and Armstrong and Jacqui Vaughn did not dare to relax the defense of Richardson and Crawford, and they were almost inseparable. behind them both.

The Bulls have led the Magic by nearly 82 points, 63:[-], and the Bulls have the ball.

In the fourth quarter, Lu Yu's performance was not very outstanding. So far, he has only scored 21 points, mainly because his teammates played really well. Crawford scored 13 points and Richardson scored 17 points. Points, Hamilton 11 points, it seems that the opponent will soon surrender.

Brad Miller leaned against the opponent behind him with his back under the basket, and the opponent fell to the ground half-truth, but the referee on the road did not whistle, and there was no sound from the whistle on his mouth.

Brad Miller didn't take many shots in this game. His hands were already hungry, and he had no other ideas except dunking.

Boom!
After the basket shook violently, he jumped down, waving his hands up and down, leading the fans to applaud and cheer loudly, pushing the atmosphere to the top!

McGrady quickly returned a long shot. His ability is indeed very comprehensive. Artest spent all his energy on defense today, but McGrady was still able to score and scored the 30th point of the game. .

Artest was a little frustrated.

"Your defense is great!" Lu Yu patted him on the shoulder: "A high score doesn't mean a good game, you see my score in this game is not as high as his, but I think I played better than him. , because we are the winning side."

Lu Yu's voice was not loud, just so Maddie could hear it, and Maddie's face turned green.

Artest wiped his sweat and felt relieved... Yes, it is true that he can win.

Crawford made another steal from Armstrong. With so little time off the bench, he has already completed three steals, which is even more powerful than when Lu Yu opened up.

"then!"

Instead of attacking by himself, he passed the ball to Lu Yu on the outside.

"Let me end this game..."

Lu Yu lightly stretched his arms, flicked his wrist, and the basketball flew past Miller's fingertips to the basket.

"Shh!"

"Go in! Go in! Lu Yu scored 24 points today and got 8 assists and 6 rebounds at the same time. He was replaced and rested, and the Magic team also replaced the bench. The victory of this game belongs to Bulls."

Xu Jicheng announced excitedly: "The 21-point difference made the Magic disarm and surrender. The Bulls eliminated the Magic 4-0 and advanced to the second round of the playoffs. Congratulations to the Bulls! Congratulations to Lu Yu!"

On the court, Lu Yu and McGrady walked side by side.

"It doesn't matter, next time you get [-] points, you can win."

"..."

MMP!
Lao Tzu has gone home to fish, and it's useless to talk about this now.

In the next round, the Bulls' opponent will be the winner between the 76ers and the Hornets, not surprisingly, the 76ers.

The duel between Lu Yu and Iverson is coming!
 Thanks to the mini bookworm for the reward. That's it for today. Tomorrow my sister gets married. I don't know how much I can write. I'll read it later.
