Basketball starts with breathing

Chapter 349 Is it the butterfly effect of my own NCAA?

There are a lot of players on the free market this summer, but few are suitable for the Suns, or D'Antoni wouldn't be too embarrassed.

Lu Yu looked around. He was still full of confidence, but after reading it, his head hurt a little.

No wonder many people can't do the job of general manager. Just trading players with various rules can cure a person who has been paralyzed for half a year.

However, Lu Yu intends to take a look at it slowly, there may be some leftover beads that he has missed.

The next day, Lu Yu came to the training hall and happened to meet D'Antoni.

After greeting Lu Yu, D'Antoni said, "Why didn't you rest at home for a few more days."

Lu Yu shook his head: "I still like to stay in the training hall."

"Are you sure you want to go to training camp?" D'Antoni was stunned.

"I won't come to you if I go home. The rest period is too long, I almost forgot the feeling of the game, just in time to listen to your tactical analysis." Lu Yu said with a smile.

"..." D'Antoni gave him a suspicious look.

Do you always think there is a conspiracy?
Lu Yu really wanted to hear D'Antoni's analysis of tactics for next season. After all, from the current situation, the situation of the Suns in the West is not optimistic.

Lu Yu's press conference was also officially announced by the media, and many fans knew that Lu Yu had already arrived in Phoenix.

"Lu Yu arrived in Phoenix City safely and is in good health."

Phoenix fans are worried. After hearing the news of Lu Yu's injury, they couldn't help but worry about whether the injury was serious or not. They spent a lot of money in the summer and almost dismantled the entire Suns team before they got Lu Yu. As a result, he did not play a game, but was injured.

So Phoenix fans hate Marbury.

An hour later, Lu Yu and Marion were drowning in a single duel, surrounded by teammates who were not familiar with Lu Yu.

Lu Yu squeezed the defending Marion with his body, "You can't guard me like this."

Marion held Lu Yu with his arm: "Although we are not at the same level, it is impossible for me to be unable to guard a ball."

"Defense is no problem." Lu Yu paused, "You have to take your hands away, now it's not allowed to defend like this."

Marion was stunned and changed the defensive rules, but he forgot about it.

"You have to adapt to the rules and use them reasonably." Lu Yu smiled: "Like this..."

Before he finished speaking, he held the ball and turned around for a tentative step. After taking a step, he accelerated directly. Just as Marion was about to reach out to stop it, he suddenly remembered what Lu Yu had said about the rules, so he could only turn into a sliding step to catch up with Lu Yu. remaining speed.

Lu Yu suddenly slowed down and made an emergency stop and jumper. Marion didn't notice it for a while, and was thrown out by Lu Yu.

Swish!
Mid-range hit.

"Have you seen it, when the defender can't use his hands to judge your direction of travel, the change in rhythm is the best weapon to throw off the defender," Lu Yu said.

Marion pondered, such a rule is simply a killer for defenders.

And as the Suns' future defensive knife, he must adapt to this rule.

Lu Yu looked out the window, there were dark clouds, and the cool breeze was blowing through the cracks of the window, and said softly, "It's going to change..."

I just don't know what this day means.

……

chicago.

Wang Zhizhi walked out of the airport.

This summer, with the help of Lu Yu, Wang Zhizhi successfully got rid of the Mavericks and was traded to the Bulls. Since Lu Yu left, the Bulls have always been vacant at the small forward position.

As soon as he got off the plane, Wang Zhizhi saw a not too familiar figure standing not far away.

They played against the Bulls last year, but this guy always wore a mask when he played, and Wang Zhizhi couldn't remember his appearance.

"Hi Wang, welcome to Chicago!"

Hamilton came over.

"Lu Yu specially told me to let us cooperate well in the new season. I'm really excited to be able to cooperate with Chinese players, and they are all power forwards. This feeling is great."

Wang Zhizhi smiled: "I'm not as good as Lu Yu."

Wang Zhizhi got into Hamilton's car and came to the door of an apartment that had been arranged for a long time.
"You have a good rest, and I will pick you up in the evening and invite you to dinner." Hamilton said from the door.

Wang Zhizhi was a little surprised, although he and Hamilton only played against each other on the court, and there is no such close relationship between them.

"Ok."

He knew that, whatever the reason, it was a good sign.

Suddenly, he remembered that Hamilton mentioned Lu Yu just now.

Lu Yu is in this city, this team has such a big influence?
You know, Hamilton definitely didn't know that Lu Yu was the owner of the Bulls, and as a new player who joined the Bulls, being welcomed by the old Bulls players just showed Lu Yu's prestige in the Bulls.

"By the way, I have always had a question about the summer trade. I always felt that you came to the Bulls and went to Phoenix with Lu Yu. It was something designed by the league, but I still can't figure it out. Does the league really have the heart to let it go? Has Lu Yu, the rising superstar, fallen... Of course, Lu Yu will definitely be able to take off in Phoenix City, but it's too difficult..."

The common topic between the two was Lu Yu, and Hamilton sighed slightly.

Wang Zhizhi smiled: "You may not know that we Chinese have always been very adaptable.

"Okay, I see." Hamilton laughed: "Yes, Lu Yu is like this, he can play in any position, as long as the team needs it, oh, I'm sorry, I miss him so much, let's go to Phoenix together when we have time. Eat his meal, after he left, Lu Ji in Chicago became less delicious."

Hamilton stretched out his hand, and Wang Zhizhi also reached out and shook his shoulders. After Hamilton drove away, Wang Zhizhi felt that Hamilton's personality was not as difficult to get along with as legend has it.

It's actually quite comfortable...

……

After Lu Yu finished training, he looked at the coach's office on the second floor of the Yiyan Pavilion, where the lights were still on, and D'Antoni had been waiting for him.

"Dong dong."

Lu Yu knocked on the door of the office, and after hearing D'Antoni's voice to let him in, he pushed open the door and walked in. D'Antoni was sitting on a chair and drawing on a piece of paper with a pen.

Lu Yu walked over and glanced at it, all of which were tactical drawings.

"Coach, why don't you lend me the tactical board..."

If there's one team that stands out this offseason, it's the Suns.

Not only did they trade most of the teams out, but they only had one purpose, which was to get Lu Yu.

However, in the eyes of basketball experts, they are the team with the least movement, because in addition to this transaction, there is also a deal to sign Richardson in the free market, and the team has no movement.

It stands to reason that Lu Yu should be equipped with stronger helpers at this time to help the Suns pass all the way in the new season. However, in order to get Lu Yu, the Suns almost hollowed out the entire team, and even overdrafted future draft picks. Now The chips that can come out are lackluster.

No team is looking at the Suns' remaining assets, which makes the Suns an unheeded role in the market.

They can only pan for gold in the free market.

Many teams are also watching the Suns' actions in the free market and are ready to intercept at any time, especially several teams in the West aiming to win the championship. They may not use it themselves, but they will never let the Suns strengthen.

Because the sun has Lu Yu!
It's a pity that the sun has not moved at all so far.

"Is Mike there?"

"He's in the training hall," the staff told him.

Suns owner Colangelo walked to the training hall and saw that all the team members were conducting tactical drills for group confrontation, while D’Antoni sat on the side and kept directing the players’ tactical moves, and his assistant coach behind him kept doing game record.

The team's lineup is still incomplete.

The main lineup structure is basically formed, and the strength of the substitutes is terrible. If he leads this team to play in the east, Lu Yu feels that it is not a big problem, but if he plays in the playoffs in the west, the probability of capsize is very high.

After all, which of these teams in the West has the strength of the finals.

Their players, coaches, and even a lot of tactics are the best in the league, and the East is far behind the West.

Of course, that doesn't include the Suns, the belly of last year's Western Conference.

Under the leadership of Marbury and Stoudemire last season, the Suns went straight to the bottom of the league. The team had close to three All-Star players, but it went straight to the lottery and never returned. It is also a part of the league. Beautiful landscape.

"Lu...Lu, pay attention to your location..."

"Steve, don't be polite when you're out of position, Sean can't keep up with you."

"Quentin, you have to get used to the shooting guard style, don't hesitate to shoot."

D'Antoni's roar was heard throughout the training hall, and even the shouts of the players were drowned out by his voice.

After Lu Yu took a screen, he threw off the defense. The bench player's one defense and one ability was indeed a bit worrying. At this moment, Marion slammed out of the slope and directly blocked Lu Yu's path.

Lu Yu kept his feet, but his wrists shook. The basketball was passed directly over Marion's shoulders. Richardson had already stood firm in the bottom corner. As soon as the basketball arrived, he would score a three-pointer.

"Lu Yu's passing and Quentin's shooting ability are really a perfect match." Ricolangelo couldn't help but admire, and he felt a little proud when he recalled the scene when he made the decision to trade Lu Yu.

This is estimated to be the choice that he can blow for a lifetime.

Only then did D'Antoni see Colangelo coming, and greeted him with a smile, "You sit and wait for a while, it's not over yet."

Colangelo doesn't care, he also wants to see what kind of chemistry the team will have after the newcomers come.

Marion received the ball from a high position, Steve ran over to catch the ball, Lu Yu followed closely, Marion handed the ball to Nash, Nash accelerated with the ball, then flicked his left wrist, basketball Passed to the 45-degree elbow of the main lineup.

It was a no man's land.

At this moment, a figure suddenly inserted in from one side, and Marion, like a cheetah, grabbed the basketball and directly crossed in front of the defense.

"This is another treasure." Colangelo said with a satisfied smile.

In the hands of the shrewd Mavericks, he finally won Nash abruptly, which was another surprise for him this summer.

Nash's passing is simply fantastic.

It's just a question of how Nash and Lu Yu integrate. After all, Lu Yu was the core of the team before, and Nash was a player who needed the ball in his hands.

After Marion went in, he dunked with his left hand, and the basket made a trembling sound.

At present, there is really nothing to be picky about Colangelo of the Suns' lineup. Except for the bench players, including Lu Yu in the starting lineup, there are four All-Stars. Many basketball experts also call this starting lineup perfect, but Looking at the bench lineup, this team definitely has no future.

Fortunately, the bench strength of other teams is not very good. As long as they can withstand most of the weak teams in the league, there is no problem with the team winning more than half.

Colangelo's goal is to enter the playoffs. He never thought about winning the championship, at least not in the first season.

The biggest problem is that the team has no conditions that can be strengthened.

Judging from the current 2-minute rehearsal, running and bombing will be the basic tactics of the Suns next season. This is no different from the previous life. In fact, the stubborn D'Antoni, no matter who the star in his hand, will run with his eyes closed. boom.

He will do this.

Let him play other he can't play.

The most important thing is that running and shooting is the most suitable for this kind of hard-to-reinforcement team, as long as cheap shooters are added, so D'Antoni's coaching career is good in that kind of poverty battle. When the team becomes rich, He won't fight.

"After Amare is gone, won't you grab rebounds?" D'Antoni shouted dissatisfied.

The team's rebounding is simply too bad. It's so bad that D'Antoni is furious. If you want to fight back, it is very important to ensure the rebound. If you can't even get the rebound, how can you run and shoot?

D'Antoni frowned, and he couldn't help thinking of the tactical diagram Lu Yu had drawn for him yesterday.

It seems that the team still needs to make some changes to go further.

His eyes fell on Colangelo, who was sitting not far away, and Colangelo suddenly felt that the entire arena seemed to be a lot colder.

Hmm, it looks like things have really changed.

The next day, Colangelo's office.

"What? You're trading a rookie?" Colangelo choked out as soon as he took a puff.

"No, no, not a trade, I just want to sign a free agent," D'Antoni laughed.

"Who?"

"Udonis Haslem."

Colangelo glanced at the light rain outside the window, his eyes were full of confusion, this name... Who is it?

Why have you never heard of it?

In fact, it's no wonder that Colangelo has never heard of Haslem's name, because Haslem has never made his debut in the NBA at all. After failing in the NBA draft, he has been wandering in the European League.

Lu Yu also discovered this incident by accident, which is completely different from the career trajectory of Haslem in his previous life.

Maybe it's the butterfly effect that he played in the NCAA?
