Basketball starts with breathing

"All players?" Scola frowned slightly, he did not believe this sentence.

After all, there are a lot of good players in this world, especially in a place like the NBA. All he knows are Iverson, Kobe, Medicart, and O'Neal, Duncan Garnett, and other insiders. They are all players with super ability.

Could it be that Lu Yu can go from one dozen to five?
Ginobili glanced at him: "Don't believe it?"

"Yes, I don't believe it," Scola said bluntly.

"You'll know when you're on the same court with him." Ginobili didn't answer his question, but left the answer on the court and let him find it himself.

After all, he has witnessed the whole process of Lu Yu's transformation from defender to power forward.

Although Scola played against Lu Yu at the World Championships last year, to be honest, he felt that he lost in a daze, and even felt that if Ginobili was present, they would not necessarily lose.

Following the notification from the staff, players from both sides of the Argentine team also left the locker room.

Argentina's current record is one win and one loss, with 1 point. After losing to Spain in the last game, this game has become a game they must win. If they lose, they will directly send the Chinese team out of the line. If they win, they will compete with the Chinese team. Spain also became the team with 2 points.

Whether it is to prevent the Chinese team from easily qualifying, or to lead the standings with 2 points, they must go all out to win this game.

They believe that after the running-in of the previous two games, the tacit understanding between the team members has been greatly improved. Whether they narrowly beat Serbia and Montenegro or lost to Spain before, they played in general in terms of state.

This is the third game, and the state and physical strength of the players have been adjusted to the best.

For the Chinese team, physical strength has never been something that the Chinese team is good at. Especially in such an intensive schedule, the physical strength of the Chinese players is a great test.

However, after winning two games in a row, the Chinese media are obviously inflated. They think that the team can win against Spain, and naturally they can also win against Argentina, which lost to Spain...

The Chinese team can win the Spanish team, and the Spanish team can win the Argentina team, so the same amount of substitution... Isn't it a logical thing for the Chinese team to win Argentina?

This is a beautiful thing in the minds of many media and fans. They are waiting for the Chinese team to win the victory and accumulate 3 points to qualify in advance.

But is this really the case?

A basketball game is not a math problem. In the NBA, there are often some teams that have the best record in the league, but they happen to encounter a scene where a weak team has repeatedly failed. This is the mutual restraint of the lineup.

However, in the World Championships last year, Argentina lost to the Chinese team in the final. Psychologically, the Chinese team has the advantage.

Countless media poured into the stadium, including Chinese and foreign media. Everyone was very concerned about this game and wanted to see how the Chinese team, which had just won a winning streak and became the biggest dark horse in the men's basketball game of this Olympic Games, can do it. No continue to win the game.

So this game has created a strange situation where there are more reporters than spectators, and there are people in almost every corner who are carefully preparing cameras or laptops!

In pre-match interviews, only the reporting team of CCTV Sports Channel can interview the players. This is a long-standing tradition.

Yu Jia wanted to interview Harris, but was rejected again. He looked at Lu Yu, and Lu Yu waved at him. Lu Yu didn't want to say too much in the national team interview. He just wanted to be good when he joined the national team. Play ball, don't want to talk too much nonsense.

Yu Jia could only catch Yao Ming.

Yao Ming reluctantly said some polite words and made a few declarations. Although the other party was strong, we would definitely not give up.

The players on both sides warmed up. Scola stood on the other half of the court and looked at the opposite No. 10 from time to time. Among all the players, Lu Yu was not conspicuous, but at that stop, everyone knew this team. The core is him.

This temperament may have been tempered in the NCAA and NBA games.

Just like Jordan back then, even when standing in a place like the Dream Team, people can't help but put their eyes on him.

What's more, Lu Yu's side is only his national team teammates.

In the whole stadium, Lu Yu is the most beautiful cub!
At the end of the warm-up, the coaches of both sides said something to encourage morale. The tactics have been laid out long before the game. At this time, it is more important to mobilize the state of the players.

The Chinese team's starting lineup is still Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, Li Nan, Lu Yu and Liu Wei, while the Argentina team's starting lineup is Manu Ginobili, Nocchioni, Oberto, Volkovsky and Montechea.

Lu Yu deliberately took a look at Manu Ginobili, but he still looked cold. Ginobili was the exact opposite of Tony Parker. Ginobili was cold on the outside and hot on the inside. You will find that this person has a good heart. On the contrary, Parker doesn't look at his dedicated and affectionate appearance, but he actually likes to hook up with other people's wives behind his back.

In Lu Yu's previous life, the combination of Parker and Eva was regarded as a talented and beautiful couple.

One is a powerful point guard who has won a lot of honors in the NBA, and the other is a popular American film and television star, but this pair, regarded as a model couple, did not end up growing old together. In 2011, it was exposed that their marriage changed. .

The reason is Parker's domestic derailment, and Eva can't bear it.

The most bloody thing is that Parker cheated on the wife of his teammate Brent Barry at the time. The two usually had a good relationship in the team, but they could not be given a month by Parker. It seems that France has no friends and wives to be bullied. statement.

At that time, Parker's move destroyed the harmony of the team. The Spurs were hacked in the first round of the eighth year. There are certain reasons for Parker's incident.

Parker does appear to be kind on the surface, but in fact, he is a very scheming person.

Being dismissed by former teammates is too selfish.

Spurs player Wu Sheng Jackson once broke the news that Parker is a very selfish guy, and for example said that the Thunder reversed the Spurs into the finals in 2012 because of Parker's selfishness.

In Game 6 Jackson's hand was very hot. After he made six [-]-pointers, Parker stopped passing him the ball, which caused the team to lose and cost him a ring.

He also said that he was all the players who felt that Parker was selfish but dared to speak out. He also said that Parker liked to target him, maybe Wu Sheng did not lie.

Compared to Parker, Lu Yu prefers Ginobili.

At the beginning of the game, the two sides jumped the ball Yao Ming once again lived up to expectations and easily put the ball into Lu Yu's hands.

Liu Wei took the ball from Lu Yu and stretched out his fingers to direct the players' movements. His expression was very serious. Harris had a lot of opinions on him in these two games. Blocking tactics are only suitable for offering at critical moments, and Harris is estimated to have taken down his point guard long ago.

The intensive schedule of the Olympic Games for two days and one game makes Harris afraid to carry out the three players Lu Yu, Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, and Wang Zhizhi in high-intensity tactical execution. Therefore, more often the tactics will be simple singles, pass, cut and cooperate. .

Wang Zhizhi pulled out to help Liu Wei pick and roll, Yao Ming asked for the ball inside, because Wang Zhizhi has a longer range, so generally Wang Zhizhi does the pick and roll work. Yao Ming does not need to come out to pick and roll, except for Lu Yu.

Liu Wei got rid of the player defending him through Wang Zhizhi's pick-and-roll. He glanced at Lu Yu's position. Lu Yu was followed very closely by Ginobili and had no chance to pass the ball. At this time, Nonioni came to make up the defense. , Liu Wei suddenly made a layup and scored the first goal.

2:0, the Chinese team scored first, and the Chinese fans present cheered and cheered for the Chinese team.

Sun Yiping in the broadcast room also praised Liu Weiwei: "Liu Wei played the ball beautifully, using the pick-and-roll to get rid of the opponent's defense, followed by the opponent's failure to make up the defense, he suddenly changed the speed to layup and hit the opponent. One who has a firm footing and won the top spot for the Chinese team, now the Chinese team players are more confident than before, and self-confidence is the most important part of becoming a strong team!"

While talking, Ginobili had already received a pass from his teammate. Facing Lu Yu's defense, he also called a screen, then dribbled the ball into the three-point line and then shot from a mid-range, hit!

……

Yao Ming stormed the basket and scored two more points.

……

Nocioni and Oberto made hits in two consecutive rounds, and the Argentine team completed the go-ahead 7:4.

……

Lu Yu finally got rid of Manu Ginobili's defense and successfully received the basketball at a 45-degree angle without any hesitation. The moment he received the ball, he jumped into the air, leaned back slightly, shook his wrist, and the basketball was in the air. A perfect arc was drawn in the air, and the basketball fell into the basket with a "swoosh".

7:7 level!
Ginobili shook his head helplessly.

Sitting off the court, Scola was stunned. He finally knew why Manu Ginobili said that Lu Yu was the most difficult player to defend. After a few rounds, he could see clearly that every time Lu Yu moved the node, It can force the Argentine team's defensive formation to fluctuate, which means that every time he runs is the weakest link in Argentina's defense, but because the other players of the Chinese team were not able to shoot correctly today, it was not converted into a score.

A player who can influence an opponent's defensive formation just by moving off the ball can indeed be called the most difficult defender to defend.

What's more, Lu Yu still has a precise shot and a breakthrough that has not been shown so far.

But it doesn't matter, their team has already made arrangements, just wait for a while and you can see the results.

After that, the Chinese team missed several three-pointers in a row, and Yao Ming received a second foul when defending Oberto. Harris had no choice but to replace Battelle.

Lu Yu frowned slightly, Yao Ming would end up too early, and the entire team's rotation would be disrupted.

Argentina, on purpose?

It must be so!

From the very beginning, Oberto kept rubbing against Yao Ming, saying that he might not be able to play football, but when it comes to acting, the Argentine actor is passed down from generation to generation, it is not a joke.

Yao Ming is gone, this game will be more difficult to play...

After Manu Ginobili called a screen, he was replaced by Liu Wei to defend. He dribbled the ball and used his speed to overtake Liu Wei. Liu Wei himself is not a fast defender, and it is even more difficult to defend this Pampas Eagle.

Manu Ginobili is a true star in the eyes of the data-analytics madman, a lost gem, far more popular than many superstars.Indeed, Ginobili's PER rating is often among the top three players at the same position, far higher than Carter, Joe Johnson, Ray Allen and other more famous guys.

In fact, during the same period, only Wade and Kobe have been higher than Ginobili in this data analysis.

Manu Ginobili didn't use fake moves at all, just rushed straight with speed. After rushing into the inside line, Battelle quickly straightened his arm, but Ginobili flicked his wrist and threw the ball to the other corner. , Oberto has been waiting there to bow and shoot.

Li Nan, who originally wanted to shrink the inside line, immediately rushed out, but Oberto had already completed the shot.

Swish!
hit!

Argentina took advantage of Yao Ming's absence to continuously attack the penalty area of ​​the Chinese team with breakthroughs, making layups if they could, and scoring outside the ball if they couldn't, and quickly gained a 6-point lead.

All the reporters present turned their eyes and flashlights on Lu Yu who was standing on the field.

At this time, only Lu Yu can bring the Chinese team out of the predicament.

Sun Yiping also quickly said: "We need Lu Yu to stand up. During Yao Ming's absence, the core of the court should be handed over to Lu Yu. Maybe we will struggle defensively, but we have to trust Lu Yu. Organizing and scoring abilities..."

Lu Yu wanted the ball, Ginobili took the initiative to ask for a switch after being screened.

"Who wants to be the background board... I have to rest for a while..." Ginobili pursed his lips, and suddenly he saw Lu Yu, who had the ball not far away, glance at him, as if he saw it right His mind is normal.

Lu Yu called another screen, and then... the defensive player was replaced by Manu Ginobili.

"..." Manu Ginobili frowned slightly: "Is it interesting?"

Lu Yu glanced at him and said lightly, "Yes!"

Now that you have beaten Yao Ming down, I'll use up your stamina...

Two minutes later, Ginobili looked to the sidelines.

"Coach, replace me, I'm tired..."

If Ginobili has a weakness, it must be his physical strength.

That's why he's called 20 Minute Jordan.

Unconsciously, the two teams completed one-for-one invisibly, and the score was still very tight. At the end of the first quarter, the two teams tied at 22:22.

Lu Yu finally got the time to rest. When he walked off the court, there was a flash of lights in the audience, and the players felt a little dazzling.

Sitting off the court, Lu Yu frowned slightly. In the second quarter, one of him and Yao Ming led the bench lineup to play. Now in the second quarter, neither of them can play for a long time. The one who will play will be a full bench. line-up.

Lu Yu's eyes fell on the Argentine bench, where Delfino and Scola were sitting... Can the bench on his side stand it?
