Basketball starts with breathing

Chapter 368 Lu Yu is playing on the outside, why is no one talking about Lu Yuruan?
Lu Yu motivates his teammates from the bottom of his heart. The most important thing for a team is the winning culture, and there are many ways to build a winning culture. Lu Yu, who is the number one villain in the league, is undoubtedly an ingenious one.

Just like the Bad Boys back then, they were the worst gang in the league.

They pride themselves on being bad boys.

It's also a winning culture.

And Lu Yu's number one villain is far less dirty than the bad boy army, they are more like villains who can win everyone's love.

The reason why the Suns can form this kind of winning culture is actually related to every player except Lu Yu. Many people say that Nash is not good in the Mavericks, and Marion played mediocre in the Suns before.

In fact, they forgot that Nash was already one of the best point guards in the West in the Mavericks, and Marion was one of the few star players of the Suns.

No matter how strong Lu Yu is, it is impossible to win the game with a group of players who are not good enough, otherwise he will be really invincible. Many people have not noticed that, in fact, the strength of the role players of the Suns is also very good.

In Lu Yu's previous life, the Suns won the first place in the regular season this season. Although the lineup has shrunk a bit, Lu Yu can make up for the shrinkage.

It's just that many people underestimate the sun now.

At this time, the other players of the Suns felt that they were very lucky. They met Lu Yu, a boss who helped them lose and didn't take credit for winning.

After the game, the media praised Lu Yu wildly, and at the same time questioned that Arenas was not good enough and that his cooperation with Yao Ming was not good enough.

In fact, these words are a bit unfair to Arenas.

Arenas is one of the few outside players who can partner well with Yao Ming, and since Yao Ming has not yet fully grown, it is only natural that he should take on more offensive responsibilities.

However, his habit of passing the ball to Yao Ming is not good. Sometimes Yao Ming is not in the best position to catch the ball. Although the style of play attracts fans, winning or losing depends on the touch of the day.

On January 1, the Suns challenged the San Antonio Spurs in back-to-back away games.

This game is called a preview of the Western Conference Finals. Many fans believe that the Suns and Spurs are most likely to enter the Western Conference Finals this season.

And the two teams played like sparks hitting the earth this time.

Both the Spurs and the Suns play a very team style of play, but the Spurs' team direction is defense, and the Suns' team direction is offense. One of the two teams is a spear and the other is a shield.

The core of the Spurs is Shi Fu Duncan.

In Lu Yu's previous life, Duncan was recognized as the number one power forward in history. He had solid basic basketball skills, and his playing was not flashy but very practical. He played steadily and brought five championship trophies to the Spurs.

But Duncan could have played more explosive data, but a serious knee injury in the 1999-2000 season affected his athletic ability.

In fact, Duncan was also a flying player when he first entered the league, and he can often be seen dunking quickly.In his rookie season, he averaged 21 points and 12 rebounds per game and was selected for the first team. He led the Spurs to win the championship in the second year of his career.

But after he was reimbursed for his knee injury the next year after winning the championship, his stats remained stable at around 20 points and 10 rebounds all year round. There was no particularly explosive stats, which were similar to his rookie season, so he was dubbed the No. 21 rookie by fans.

Imagine if Duncan didn't have the knee injury that affected his explosiveness, he would definitely be able to play a brighter performance.But truly great superstars will not be thwarted by injuries. After his comeback, Duncan became the best floor power forward. Before retiring, he locked the seat of the number one power forward in history without any suspense.

The Spurs' No. [-] scorer was Tony Parker, who once targeted Lu Yu.

He is indeed making continuous progress in the direction of Lu Yu, but after working hard, he finds that Lu Yu has actually played center forward. How can this make him work hard?

No matter how hard he tries at his height, he can't play center forward.

Isn't this embarrassing?
However, since learning Lu Yu's style of play, his organization has improved a lot. Unlike Parker in Lu Yu's previous life, that Parker is more capable of attacking the basket than organizing. Now Parker's organization is even better. Of course, his offensive ability Nor did it fall.

Ginobili, the vulture of the Spurs, also grew up and became the most stable member on the bench. Of course, his stability depends on his state, with ups and downs.

But what he wanted most was to really beat Lu Yu once in the arena.

Whether it is the international arena or the NBA arena, he has never really won against Lu Yu.

So in this game, he also worked hard to beat the Suns.

The Spurs still have their defensive champion Bowen. Bowen once stepped on Lu Yu and was discovered. The most important thing is that since then, Lu Yu has played inside, so he has no chance to match up with Lu Yu. He wants to step on the foot It also becomes difficult.

Generally speaking, the strength of the two sides in this game is not much different.

It's just that the Spurs obviously have been running in this lineup for a long time, so when the game reached only 1 minute left in the fourth quarter, they still led the Suns by five points.

Everyone thought the Spurs had won.

As a result, Lu Yu killed the game with a three-pointer and a 2+1. The Suns narrowly beat the Spurs 117 to 116.

Never be in a stalemate with Lu Yu to the end, this point has been confirmed again, even if you lead by five points, there is no guarantee that you will win the game in the end.

Because that's Lu Yu.

Lu Yu scored 39 points, 14 assists, 17 rebounds and 3 steals in the whole game, completely blowing up the center of the Spurs. Duncan didn't want to play against Lu Yu, just like he didn't want to play against O'Neal and chose to play power forward. .

If Lu Yu played power forward in the West last season, it is estimated that Duncan would choose to play center without hesitation.

Both Parker and Ginobili performed well. After all, their strength still has an advantage against the Suns outside. Unfortunately, their defense is indeed that. The Spurs' defensive system has never been supported by them. .

When Lu Yu attracts enough defensive energy, the already average defense on the outside becomes even more sloppy.

In this game, it was obvious that the shield was pierced by the spear.

After this game, the Suns have risen to the second place in the West, only one game away from the Spurs in the West, and Lu Yu has quietly risen to the first place in the MVP rankings.

Behind him is Duncan, and then Nowitzki, but many people think that Nowitzki is still a grade lower than Lu Yu and Duncan.

Now only Duncan has the most strength to compete with Lu Yu in the West.

Duncan is the core on both offense and defense, and Lu Yu is the same, but Lu Yu's offensive power is stronger, which is indisputable.

The Suns returned to Phoenix for a three-day recuperation and started another road trip to the Eastern Conference.

In the game against the Heat, it was thought that the two sides would stage a fierce battle. As a result, O'Neal was unwell and truceed, and the Heat were brutally abused by the Suns.

O'Neal's discomfort is said to be due to diarrhea, but many people think that O'Neal just doesn't want to match up with Lu Yu.

Or maybe the Heat don't want to let O'Neal and Lu Yu meet prematurely.

The goal of the Heat is the finals. They want to keep the mystery in front of the Suns as much as the Lakers did that year, and then fight the Suns in the finals.

It's just that this method of picking up people's teeth is useful?

You must know that after Zen Master used this method, the final result was still lost to the Bulls led by Lu Yu.

In fact, Lu Yu did not perform well in this game. He only played about two quarters. He scored 13 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists before taking a rest. Another reason is because the game was a bit boring. After two quarters, the Suns had already taken a big lead.

In the end, the Suns defeated the Eastern Conference's No. 133 Heat team 107 to [-].

Wade scored 22 points and 6 assists in this game, and his performance was quite satisfactory. If he showed Lu Yu's superb performance in the finals of his previous life, he might be able to win the Suns, but this is a regular season, and he doesn't seem too much. Strong desire to attack. At this time, everyone is targeting the playoffs. For the Heat in the regular season, losing one or two games seems to have little effect on the record in the regular season.

One day later, the Suns defeated the Bulls. Lu Yu scored a triple-double of 29 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists, leading the team to score in double figures with five players, and finally defeated the Bulls 117-109.

Wang Zhizhi scored a game-high 38 points and 11 rebounds. The second highest scorer for the Bulls was Hamilton with 26 points. Their combined score exceeded half of the Bulls' total.

Since the Bulls released Lu Yu, although they still played well in the East and ranked second in the East, they no longer have absolute dominance.

However, Wang Zhizhi's performance conquered the United Center fans.

Anyway, don't worry about selling tickets.

This is the plan for the Bulls after Lu Yu left. After all, without Lu Yu, it is already very difficult for the Bulls to win the championship, so the rest of the time is just crazy money.

Chicago is another big city, and it's not hard to make money.

After the game, Haslem reviewed himself: "Although the team won the game, I didn't do a good job on defense, allowing the Bulls' main power forward to score 38 points. This is unforgivable."

When each player will not be proud of winning, but will reflect on himself, this Suns will really mature.

Haslem is right. In fact, he is not the only one. Almost every Suns player is keen on offense and gradually ignores defense. In recent games, opponents have been scoring more and more. Although they can still win the game, But can this really go further in the playoffs?

Lu Yu never raised this point.

One is because the nearest opponents are the strongest teams in the East and West, and it is not surprising that the opponents can get high scores.

Second, he hopes that his teammates can realize this by themselves. After all, the shortcomings raised by others are completely different from the shortcomings he realizes.

After the game, Lu Yu met his old friend, Caron Butler.

The two hugged each other and separated for a long time. From the small arena in Spokane back then, it was an honor for Butler to witness Lu Yu's beginning and then witness Lu Yu's peak in the NBA.

The Suns returned to Phoenix with a winning streak.

And Anne Hathaway also quietly flew from Boston to Lu Yu's city.

On January 1, the Suns team had a holiday, Lu Yu drove to the airport and picked up Annie.

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time. The reason why Annie came to Lu Yu was because she suddenly felt that maybe she should have a child, just like Bellucci.

She never thought that Bellucci would become her competitor with a casual introduction in the coffee shop in Boston.

And he had Lu Yu's child one step ahead of him.

This made her, who was originally quiet, a little bit jealous. Originally, she put her career first, but now she suddenly changed her mind. She also wanted a child, and she didn't want to lose to other women.

This meeting was naturally thunder and fire.

Lu Yu was just wondering why Annie, who used to be the most boring character, suddenly took the initiative, and all kinds of new unlocking methods made him a little tired.

Until Annie told him that he wanted a child, he could only work hard.

After all, there is no reason not to agree to such a thing.

What's more, he also wanted another one, mainly to see if it was a man or a woman, he hoped it was a boy, not patriarchal, he just didn't want to be like Kobe.

On the 28th, the Suns played against the Mavericks at home.

This game is another strong team ushered in after the Suns defeated the Spurs, Bulls and Heat.

The Mavericks are now ranked third in the Western Conference. After defeating the Mavericks, the Suns won all the top teams in the East and West.

No one is optimistic about Nowitzki winning the MVP, because although the Mavericks have a good record, they will always compare Nowitzki and Lu Yu.

Originally last summer, the Mavericks had the best chance of getting Lu Yu.

As a result, the Mavericks voluntarily gave up Lu Yu in order to keep Nowitzki.

Many people don't understand, for a Nowitzki who is so soft, don't want Lu Yu. Is it because of a mental illness? In fact, Nowitzki is not soft. He has always been the most lethal insider in the league, averaging free throws per game The number has always been in the top ten of the league, but the style of play is outside. In this era, many people think that such a style of play is the performance of soft eggs.

People have double standards.

Lu Yu is playing on the outside, why is no one talking about Lu Yuruan?
Lu Yu also shot from outside the three-point line!
It may be because Lu Yu was an outside player when he entered the league, and everyone is used to his style of play on the outside, while Nowitzki was an inside player when he entered the league, but he was on the outside, so he would inevitably be sprayed.

Lu Yu played outside because he couldn't change his habit of playing shooting guard.

Nowitzki played outside because he didn't dare to go inside to fight.

The most important point is that Lu Yu has never lost the chain in the playoffs, and the more critical moments he gets, the better he becomes.

And Nowitzki is just the opposite. Although his statistics are better than those in the regular season in the playoffs, every time he reaches a critical moment, he always loses the chain, causing the team to be eliminated all the time.

In Lu Yu's previous life, he didn't take off his hat of softie until he won the championship.
