Basketball starts with breathing

The Sonics advanced through the half court, and after a few passes, the basketball was back in Ray Allen's hands, and he forced a breakthrough against Richardson's defense.

At this time, Ray Allen was not the one who could only shoot. Now he can shoot suddenly, dunk and pass the ball. He is a hexagonal warrior.

It's just that when he was about to layup, he suddenly saw Lu Yu wearing the No. 10 jersey covering the sky and covering the sun.

He hurriedly raised the layup arc and forcibly threw the basketball out of the frame. Marion grabbed the rebound.

The SuperSonics didn't retreat quickly. Lu Yu wanted to launch a fast break directly, but Marion had already handed the ball to Nash according to the coach's arrangement during training. Nash pushed forward quickly, and then threw it to Richardson, who had sunk to the bottom corner.

Richardson feinted and went to the basket. When Yi Jianlian made up, he threw the ball to Marion at a 45-degree angle.

Marion threw the ball with his weird gesture.

Really throw it away.

This pose is simply ugly.

But fortunately, the hit rate was good, and the basketball fell into the basket with a swoosh.

3 is better than 0
When it comes to players with the ugliest shooting posture in the NBA, in addition to thinking of Hayes' free throws, Marion's long shots must not be excluded.Because his posture is too weird, but ugly is ugly, but it cannot be denied that Marion is an excellent player.

If Marion is placed in the small ball era of later generations, he may be an upgraded version of Andre Iguodala, who will be looted by other teams in the league.

The Supersonics attacked, Barry passed the ball to his teammates after halftime, Yi Jianlian singled out Haslem after receiving the ball inside, turned around and shot and scored 3-2.

The Suns attacked and advanced quickly. Once again, the ball did not pass through Lu Yu's hand and shot directly...

The offense in these rounds is the epitome of the game between the two sides. The Suns played very fast, but almost never gave the ball to the inside. The task of the inside is to grab rebounds to protect the basket. Nash will give the ball to the fast break. Inside dunk.

Lu Yu frowned slightly, he knew that this was D'Antoni's tactical arrangement.

It was with this tactic that Stoudemire made the All-Star break, and Nash won two regular-season MVPs.

But Stoudemire is Stoudemire, and Lu Yu is Lu Yu!
You must know that Lu Yu is already a player who has dominated the league, and he is not comparable to a player like Stoudemire who can get into the All-Star team by eating cakes.

But Lu Yu didn't say anything. He also wanted to see if such a tactic could lead the Suns to victory.

Because of this set of tactics, he is an enhanced version of Stoudemire, but the other Suns players, especially the bench players, are weaker than Lu Yu's previous life.

If Lu Yu forcibly argues with the head coach, it will cause discord within the team.

He is No.1 in the league, he can make arrangements directly for other players, and he can also arrange for the head coach.

Because the boss set up this team for Lu Yu.

But Lu Yu didn't want this. He wanted the team to go a long way, so some mistakes had to be experienced by them before they could have a deeper impression.

In his previous life, why was D'Antoni's tactics invincible in the regular season, but in the playoffs it became an eggplant for frost.

It's not because their center can only eat pie. Once the engine Nash fails, Stoudemire will become a waste.

So for a team like the Spurs, just knock Nash down.

Therefore, the scene where Nash's nose is collapsed will appear.

In the first quarter, Marion and Richardson played well, scoring 6 and 7 points respectively, and Lu Yu also scored 5 points. At the end of the first quarter, the Suns led the Supersonics 24-19 by five points.

In the second quarter, Lu Yu sat off the court and rested for a whole quarter. D'Antoni knew that Lu Yu had just been injured in the Olympics and did not dare to use him excessively.

After Lu Yu went down, the Suns' offense was fairly smooth, basically the kind of play that Lu Yu saw on TV in his previous life.

It's just that at the end, with the rotation of six or seven people, physical strength is becoming more and more of a problem.

When Lu Yu went up in the last quarter, Ray Allen did not enter the inside line at all, and scored four three-pointers in a row in front of Nash, surpassing the score in one fell swoop.

Fortunately, seeing that the situation was not right, Lu Yu took the initiative to ask for the ball, directly blasted the Supersonic inside line, combined the bald heads, and won the game 12-2.

90 to 79, the Suns are so difficult to win against a weak team like the SuperSonics last season, let alone a Western powerhouse like the Spurs in the future.

At the press conference, Lu Yu found that the difficulty of the game did not arouse the vigilance of the team.

He was thinking in his heart that if this kind of situation happened in the next game, he would never try to save the team and let it lose. Sometimes people are like this.

It can't be said that D'Antoni's arrangement is wrong, he just played his ideal run-and-gun style.

But tactics are dead and people are alive.

With a strong player like Lu Yu here, you don't know how to use it, and it's your fault that you have to fight, run, and bomb.

This situation doesn't just happen to Lu Yu.

In Lu Yu's previous life, D'Antoni went to coach the Lakers for a period of time, and the Lakers also brought him Nash at that time.

He was bewildered.

He also wanted to replicate the run-and-gun tactics in the same way the Suns used to play. As a result, Nash took control of the ball, Kobe followed the return run as a shooter, and the Lakers lost the bottoms that year.

It can't be said that D'Antoni's coach is a parallel importer.

It can only be said that it is more old-fashioned and stubborn.

In the second game, the Suns played against the Cavaliers. James also thought that he would be able to rise in the second year of this year, but in front of Lu Yu he could only be his younger brother.

The Suns won again, 97-80.

This made Lu Yu a little depressed. He originally wanted to teach Captain Sun a lesson, but all he encountered was rubbish.

Does D'Antoni really think the team is strong?

Your dog's run-and-gun tactics have never scored more than [-] points. Are you embarrassed to say that you are run-and-gun tactics?

Later, the Suns finally ran into the Mavericks and the Spurs, and lost two games in a row.

At this time, many fans began to make excuses. The Spurs and the Mavericks were too strong, they had already run in well, the Suns had just formed, and they had not run in well, and it was excusable to lose.

Lu Yu wanted to say, shit!
Whether a team can go to the end depends on whether it can win against these strong teams and fight against those weak teams, and the weak teams will not be able to enter the playoffs.

The reason why the Bulls were invincible last season is because their style of play, whether it is against a weak team or a strong team, is as stable as ever.

Whether it's an opponent with a strong inside post or a scoring maniac on the outside, the Bulls have a way to win the game.

But now this Sun, let alone a strong team, even if it encounters a weak team with an explosion of outside scoring, it is possible to lose the game.

The results confirmed Lu Yu's conjecture within a few days.

In another Chinese derby, the Suns met the Warriors. The Warriors could only be at the bottom of the Western Conference playoff team, but Arenas directly smashed Nash.

In a game, Arenas scored 53 points, the first 50+ points of the season, and led the Warriors to a 113-92 victory over the Suns.

If it was really the Suns from the previous life, it might not necessarily lose, but this Suns team couldn't bear to look directly at the bench.

At the end of November, the Suns' record had reached 11 wins and 8 losses. D'Antoni faintly sensed the problem. Although the winning rate is now more than half, the team is obviously weak when it meets the weak. The attention of other strong teams.

At the beginning of December, the Suns ushered in a wave of losing streak, and the record became 12 wins and 8 losses, falling out of the top eight in the Western Conference.

At this time, D’Antoni finally couldn’t sit still. He admitted in the post-match interview that his tactics might have problems, but he still didn’t think of how to solve it.

By watching the video of the game over and over again, he seemed to have caught the problem.

So he found Lu Yu and consulted Lu Yu for his opinion.

Lu Yu directly pulled out the video of the first fast break of the first game and showed it to him.

"This ball could have gone directly to the fast break, but according to the team's tactics, the ball had to be handed over to Steve first, then Steve moved forward quickly, found Quentin in the bottom corner, and hit a three-pointer. ."

"It looks like I have scored three points and the offense is very fast, but you must know that the probability of scoring is reduced by playing this way."

"Since we want to run and shoot, we need everyone to have the ability to handle the ball. No matter where the ball is, we must find the player with the highest probability of scoring as soon as possible."

"The best way for this ball is for Marion to put it directly into the hands of Udonis, who has run to the basket."

"If Udonis doesn't have the right opportunity, give me the ball and I promise not to waste this scoring opportunity."

"Steve's role in addition to dominating the ball in the position is as a shooting point from the outside."

D'Antoni got it.

In the next few days of training, he deliberately emphasized this point. Nash was actually a little unhappy, because in this way, his tactical core position was reduced.

He is good at distributing the ball in positional warfare, but the control of the fast break is not in his hands, and when the fast break cannot be scored, most of the ball is handed over to Lu Yu in the interior.

His role was greatly weakened.

But the previous style of play has been proven to be a loser, and the boss of the team was Lu Yu, so he didn't dare to overstep him at will. He regarded him as the core style of play before. Almost forgot who was the protagonist on this team.

Now Lu Yu's data is not good, and the team's record is not good, which has made the team owner very dissatisfied.

If he is still screwing with the team, it is estimated that he will not be far away from being sent away.

Nash is very self-aware. When he was in the Mavericks, when he knew that Cuban wanted Nowitzki as the core, he honestly became the second leader.

Now the Suns wanted Lu Yu to be the boss from the very beginning, but the head coach was more inclined in tactics at the beginning. While he was secretly happy, he was actually worried that Lu Yu would make trouble.

But now it looks like a smooth transition.

Since D'Antoni listened to Lu Yu's advice, he found that his running and shooting has become different, and his training effect was surprisingly good.

Now waiting for the game to verify the results.

The Suns held a press conference in response to the previous loss.

Reporters began to attack D'Antoni.

The reporter asked: "At the beginning of the season, you said that the Suns would become the top team in the league, but now they haven't even got a place in the playoffs. If you lose like this, you think it's your ability or Lu Yu's. What about ability issues?"

D'Antoni laughed: "I think it's my problem. I didn't integrate the team. Of course, everything is fine now, and we will win more games."

The reporter asked: "Now the whole league is saying that Lu Yu has been abandoned. After Lu Yu came to the Suns, he was much worse than when he was in the Bulls. If Lu Yu can't lead the team to win, will you continue to support him?"

"of course."

D'Antoni kept smiling, but in his heart he was already eager to use the microphone to smash the reporter's head out of the bag.

"Lu Yu is the most dominant and best player in the league, there is no one, I have always underestimated his ability, I did not use him well, this is my problem, I will not do this in the future It's wrong, believe me, starting from today, everyone will see a different sun, and everyone will see a different leader of the sun, just like Lu Yu led the bull before, he will also bring the sun to that high."

D'Antoni took all the blame alone.

From this point of view, he is more responsible. Unlike some coaches, the game commanding is messed up. He only plays chicken soup for the soul and throws the blame on the players after losing.

Rivers: "You can report my ID number directly."

The reporter asked: "Now that the Suns have fallen out of the top eight in the Western Conference, do you think you can still make the playoffs this season?"

D'Antoni didn't say too much, just smiled and said, "Time will tell."

Yeah, time will tell, but he has to prove to everyone with a victory, a hearty victory, that he's not talking nonsense.

But for him, the opponent in the next game is very difficult to fight.

After all, it was a Kings team that once dominated the Western Conference and nearly won the championship several times.

Saying such words at this time has a high probability of being slapped in the face.

D'Antoni called all the players together: "Next game, it's time to test our training tactics during this period, I need everyone to cheer up, we must win, and we must win for everyone who sees our jokes. Look, let them know, we're going to rise this season, and this season, we're going to make every team in the West shudder!"

"We can play very fast, and we can also fall into position. Although our defense has loopholes, the core of our defense is Lu Yu!"

"We have the best players in the league, and this year we will definitely make the playoffs!"

His remarks made all the players excited.

Lu Yu just stood aside and sighed secretly, who said that only Rivers in the league can say chicken soup for the soul, and D'Antoni is also a good hand at cooking chicken soup for the soul!
