Basketball starts with breathing

The audience was silent, everyone seemed to be given by the time machine, but just stared at Lu Yu.

The referee was the first to react. He blew his whistle to signal that the two points were valid. The sharp whistle woke people up. Everyone looked at the scoreboard 82 to 74. The two points were added. Does that mean the dunk just now? it is true?

They didn't dream?

It was crazy, there was thunderous applause in the arena, and all the fans were excited to see such a performance, which was not just a dunk, but a performance of the players' unwillingness to admit defeat and their desire to win.

"The admirable Lu Yu, the admirable Chinese men's basketball team!" I don't know which reporter let out a sigh, and then he suddenly shouted: "It's over! I just watched Lu Yu's dunk and forgot to press the shutter!"

This time, a large number of people were infected immediately, and many people were shouting: "I also remembered when you said that, and I didn't press it."

"Have you taken a picture, take it out and share it."

"No……"

"Do you think I've been filmed like this?"

Anyway, even if I took it at this time, I wouldn't tell others that I took it myself. This kind of precious photo will definitely become the cover of the headline.

In the last minute of the game, the Argentine men's basketball team was still 1 points behind. With Wang Zhizhi's "three-pointer" success, it was announced that the result of this game had been concluded.

91 to 80, the Chinese men's basketball team won the game.

Everyone was happy for the victory of the Chinese team, and some fans saw Lu Yu who was sitting on the bench at the end of the game almost paralyzed. Yao Ming patted him on the shoulder, Wang Zhizhi stepped forward and put Lu Yu on the bench. On their shoulders, they slowly walked towards the locker room.

"The Chinese men's basketball team is really crazy this time!" - "Sports Weekly"

Sports Weekly commented on the guest officials' comments on the match between the Chinese men's basketball team and the Argentine men's basketball team. Under normal circumstances, the Chinese media uphold the idea of ​​moderation and do not brag too much about their own people. Just like this time, the "Sports Weekly" not only detailed Described the course of the game, and even wrote out the areas where the Chinese team was not well-prepared.

First, the control of Yao Ming's fouls. Yao Ming and Lu Yu are the two cores of the Chinese team. Yao Ming's fouls caused the Chinese team to struggle in the later games.

Second, there is still a significant gap between the substitute players and the Argentine men's basketball team. To put it bluntly, the strength of the Chinese men's basketball team is still based on the leadership of the two super players, Lu Yu and Yao Ming. The overall level is still behind. European and American teams.

Third, the implementation of techniques and tactics, which is in the same vein as the second one, is still a matter of player strength. Only when the strength is achieved can techniques and tactics be captured. Now this Chinese team still relies on the personal abilities of Lu Yu and Yao Ming. And the double high pick-and-roll tactics at critical moments.

"Sports Weekly" also put a picture of Lu Yu's dunk at the end of the article, and attached a line of small characters: "Don't imitate difficult moves!"

The key is who imitated it...

"Although the Chinese team won the game, after Yao Ming came off, the Chinese men's basketball team was chased by their opponents for a lot of points. Fortunately, the Chinese men's basketball team led by Lu Yu has been suppressing their opponents. They told the world with a spirit of not giving up, Although the current Chinese men's basketball team lags behind in all aspects of physical fitness, technology and tactics, our spirit of never giving up on the court is the strongest team in the world!"

Su Qun, editor-in-chief of Sports Weekly, wrote.

"The existence of Lu Yu has refreshed the spirit of the Chinese men's basketball team. This is a catalyst for Chinese basketball culture. We have always talked about basketball culture, basketball culture, but what exactly is basketball culture? I think Lu Yu today What we do on the court belongs to our Chinese basketball culture, which will also become something in the bones of Chinese basketball."

"Especially Lu Yu's dunk, I even thought I was dreaming that a Chinese guard can dunk like this?"

Like many reporters, Su Qun described himself seeing Lu Yu's dunk as a dream...

If it wasn't for the pain, I would have thought it was a dream.

But after writing this sentence, Su Qun suddenly remembered, where is Lu Yu a guard? He is obviously an insider, okay?
That's not right, Lu Yu played a defender in the Chinese men's basketball team.

Lu Yu also saw Su Qun's evaluation from the press corps. Apart from being satisfied with the photo, he really had nothing to talk about about the game, because whether he scored 28 points or 8 points, the score The level of performance, the performance is good or bad, it is meaningless.

He just needs to help the team win games.

Now to think about the next game, Italy and Serbia.

China now has three victories in all three games, the first in the group with three points, Spain with two wins and one loss, and the second in the group with two points, while Argentina, Serbia and Montenegro, Italy, and New Zealand all have one win and two losses, each with one point. point.

China won Spain, Argentina and New Zealand, and the only two opponents left are Serbia and Montenegro and Italy. In fact, the Chinese men's basketball team with three points has basically been confirmed to qualify for the group.

There are even many domestic media who have made the slogan of the top eight Chinese men's basketball teams in the world.

Even if the Chinese men's basketball team lost all of the last two games, the Chinese men's basketball team won Spain, Argentina and New Zealand in terms of winning and losing, which is enough for the Chinese men's basketball team to advance.

Lu Yu was lying on the bed, listening to Zhu Fangyu's thunderous snoring, thinking to himself, what will he do with the Italian team tomorrow?

In the evening, when Lu Yu saw Harris, he was actually trained by Harris.

"I put you on the court at the last moment because the point difference is unlikely to be overtaken by the opponent, but your last dunk is completely unnecessary, and the referee will not give you an extra point just because your dunk looks good. "

In the dusky office, Harris frowned and said, "Basketball is not gymnastics diving. The referee will give you points based on the difficulty of your movements. The simplest and most effective scoring method is more useful than your dangerous dunk. You have played in the NBA. , you should understand these truths better than I do. The reason why the NBA dunks so much is because the players' physical fitness is there... Of course, your physical fitness is also very good, but at that time, this dunk could not play any two points other than that.”

This is the most spoken sentence that Harris has heard since Lu Yu joined the national team. In the past, this stubborn old man used to be concise even when he set out his tactics, and never used unnecessary nonsense.

Harris will not treat Lu Yu differently because he is the top superstar in the NBA. With him, Lu Yu is only a player of the Chinese men's basketball team.

Harris glanced at Lu Yu and sighed: "How is it? Has it recovered? I hope it won't have any other adverse effects on you..."

Everyone saw that Lu Yu was still chasing points like a stubborn donkey at the end of the game, but no one noticed that after the game, he secretly clutched his wrist.

When I dunked, my wrist was slightly strained.

"The team doctor has seen it, and it's fine. Maybe I'm deficient in calcium, and I've been eating mediocrely recently." Lu Yu avoided the topic lightly: "I came to you to talk about the opponent, the Italian team in the next match... "

Lu Yu didn't dare to be careless about his own body, so after the game, he went to the doctor to check his wrist, and finally confirmed that it was only a slight strain, and it would be fine to rest for a day.

He chose to dunk because he felt that that was the best time to destroy the morale of the opponent.

Harris talks about tactics and strategy, but he does not know that there is an old saying in China, that once it dies, it dies again, and morale is the most important thing in the confrontation between the two armies.

"Italy?" Harris was stunned: "What do you want to talk about?"

"I was thinking maybe we could win Italy and advance directly. You know the reason we played against Argentina was because we didn't do a good job of playing against Dayao, leaving us in a very passive situation for the whole game and playing against Italy. , I think as long as I and Dayao Dayzhi are there at the same time and take precautions, they have no chance to win us."

Harris hesitated.

Because before this expedition, the team's goal was to advance to the quarter-finals. Although some media claimed to have won medals, the task given by the General Administration of Sports was only the quarter-finals.

Spain now has two wins and one loss. The opponents in the next two games are Serbia and New Zealand. New Zealand has almost no suspense, that is, Spain will definitely qualify.

Argentina also has two wins and one loss. The opponents in the next two games are Italy and New Zealand. Like Spain, Argentina is also a solid qualifying team.

The Chinese men's basketball team has won Spain and Argentina, and it is even more stable in qualifying.

Then it doesn't matter if the remaining two games are won or lost.

There are still the last two places to qualify for the group.

New Zealand is definitely out.

The remaining opponent to be eliminated must be one of Serbia and Montenegro and Italy.

There is absolutely no need for the Chinese men's basketball team to waste energy on the two eliminated teams. That is to say, the goal of the Chinese men's basketball team in this Olympic Games has been achieved, and the remaining energy is mainly on other opponents. The goal at that time, It's definitely not the top eight, but to see if you can get to the top four and even get a medal!
The Olympic quarter-finals seem to have a high probability of choosing four out of six, but in fact, it is still difficult to enter, that is, the Chinese men's basketball team can win three games in a row...

Now the Chinese men's basketball team has become a favorite team to win medals.

All eyes are on us.

Harris can only strategically abandon these two games and let the players reserve enough physical strength to play the next quarterfinals instead of wasting time on such games.

As a result, Lu Yu said that he wanted to win against Italy?

"Italy is not easy to play. Although they don't have NBA players, their strength should not be underestimated." Harris said in a deep voice: "Although they lost to Serbia and Spain, the difference between the two losses is not the same. They are big, and their outside shooting ability is very strong, and the Spanish team was horrified by their shooting."

"What worries me the most is the stamina of the players..." Harris continued.

The Olympic games are like this. Any team will choose a strategy to give up one or two games, as long as they are guaranteed to qualify. Few teams have played three games and never gave up like the Chinese team.

Now that the Chinese men's basketball team has won three games in a row, there is really no need to waste energy on the latter two teams.

"Lu, I have to be responsible for the Chinese team. If I am not sure, I can only choose the best plan." Harris said.

Lu Yu nodded: "I understand what you mean, but...what if you are sure?"

"It's good that you understand, you... What did you say? Are you sure?" Harris suddenly stopped and asked quickly, he even thought he had heard it wrong.

Although Italy lost to Spain and Serbia and Montenegro, its strength as a strong European team is still there. In fact, Italy and Serbia and Montenegro are not good at fighting, but Serbia and Serbia won the World Championship this time because of political reasons. The team in [-] is missing a lot of the main force, but Harris has no plans to play with them.

Because one of them must be eliminated.

Most likely it's Italy.

Because Serbia and Montenegro won Italy, but it was only because Italy had no touch in that game. If Italy was allowed to score even one more goal, Serbia and Montenegro would probably get out of the way early.

Italy is strong, that's Harris' view.

A smile appeared on the corner of Lu Yu's mouth: "Actually, a team with excellent three-point ability is really good at defending..."

"My thinking is that a team in between Italy and Serbia and Montenegro is likely to join us in the quarter-finals, which means they are likely to be our opponents again."

"Instead of giving up strategically, it is better for me and Dayao or Dayang to not take the bus and lead a group of young players to exercise. To know that we want to go further, these young players need enough exercise."

Harris didn't know that Lu Yu's eyes were definitely not just the two games in front of him.

What he looks at is the Chinese basketball in the next five, ten, or even 20 years.

Maybe Harris is a good coach, but he will only consider his achievements within a few terms. What about Lu Yu?
As a rebirth, he knows more about the shortcomings of Chinese basketball.

I also know more about how the Chinese men's basketball team can go further.

As for why he must play, the main reason is that he has been stuck at 90% in several breathing methods recently, and he really can't find a way to exercise.

He also wants to break through!

As for the strategy of defending the Italian team.

Many coaches today still follow the same old defensive strategy when facing a team with a good [-]-point shot.

The most effective way to guard against a shooting team is to get close to him, not give him space to shoot, and the defender should follow him closely, making every shot he makes trouble, and disrupting his shooting rhythm. If it is a pick-and-roll, two people can In zone defense, the switching speed must be fast, and he should not be given time to adjust. If there is a tacit understanding between the defensive players, there should be no problem with the defense.

But this is just a defensive strategy, not a tactical one.

If it was a different person, he might not know how to defend such a three-point team, but Lu Yu knew.
