Basketball starts with breathing

Lu Yu walked over and stood beside Jie Yin, who was much taller than Jie Yin, and looked down at Jie Yin: "You have to know, sometimes luck is often a manifestation of strength, when you have no strength, luck comes You can't catch it either."

It's not that he satirizes Jie Yin's lack of strength, but his strength is not enough to support his luck.

In fact, being able to stagger the time and not racing motorcycles, Jie Yin is already very lucky.

Of course, he often walks by the river without getting his shoes wet. If he continues to ride his motorcycle, he will have another accident sooner or later.

At this time, Jie Yin is as young and energetic as he was in college, and he is not convinced by Lu Yu in various ways, not to mention him, even his eldest brother Battier is obedient to Lu Yu, and he does not know where he comes from self-confidence.

In Lu Yu’s previous life, Jay Yin Williams was the No. 2002 pick in the class of 1. Although he was the No. 75 pick, he only had one season in his NBA career. He played a total of 9.5 games and averaged 2.6 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.1 assists and [-] per game. Steals, just looking at the data is not too bad.

But I didn't expect that something happened to Williams after his rookie season, which directly ruined his bright future in the NBA.

One night in June 2003, Williams was driving his heavy-duty motorcycle on the road at lightning speed. Unexpectedly, the motorcycle lost control unexpectedly and directly hit a power pole beside the road. Throwing it out directly caused the rupture of the left knee ligament, severely injured three nerves in the left leg, and faced life-long amputation or even life-threatening. After that, he never returned to the NBA game, and his NBA career ended in this way.

Rumors say that Williams is completely to blame, just because he felt good about himself in his rookie season, and he won 1 Rookie of the Month and 1 Rookie Second Team, so Williams got a little carried away. Indulging oneself led to accidents and ruined a bright future.

Therefore, it is true that character determines destiny.

Just like now, although Jie Yin didn't have an accident, his character still hasn't changed in any way.

After the start of the game, the scene was one-sided. Jie Yin's breakthrough was okay, but he always wanted to lay up in front of Lu Yu. After one game, he didn't score many points. Five or six hot pots came out. In the end, the coach couldn't stand it anymore. After he was replaced, McGrady got better after taking control of the ball.

However, the hole dug in front was a bit big, and the Rockets lost by 30 points in the end.

After the game, Jayon Williams was very unconvinced. He felt that he just didn't adapt to the confrontation. If he adapted, he would definitely not be blocked so badly.

The Rockets coach thought to himself, just shut up.

He has already decided that he will fight around McGrady as the core in the future, at least he won't lose so badly.

After that, the Suns won the game against the Clippers, Eagles and Grizzlies without any suspense.

Haslem drove high and low this season, and now his scoring average is much lower. The main reason is that Lu Yu has turned on the scoring mode, because Lu Yu wants to be the scoring champion, but Haslem's defensive efficiency is still very high.

It's a pity that this is his first season, otherwise he would have no problem getting the Most Improved Player.

When playing against the Grizzlies, Battier and Lu Yu met. Battier actually played a little uncomfortable in the Grizzlies. Although he is still the team's defensive core, the team's successive losses made him No hope in sight.

...

Although Gasol has successfully leveled up and has a faint star forward posture, this cannot help the Grizzlies go further.

Especially when the inside was overwhelmed, Battier was unable to help on the outside and felt powerless. He wanted to win and didn't like the feeling of losing.

In early February, the Suns secured the No. [-] spot in the West, but the Spurs behind them were only two games away.

But at this time, there are not many people with records.

Because All-Star Weekend is here.

Lu Yu continued to win this year's All-Star vote, Yao Ming ranked second, but because he and Lu Yu are both centers, he entered the All-Star this time as a substitute.

Carter is ranked third, Kobe is ranked fourth, and Iverson is ranked fifth. Three of the four shooting guards are growing in popularity, but the records of their teams are very hip.

The worst thing is Tracy McGrady, who was a solid All-Star a few years ago, but after going to the Rockets, he couldn't even make it to the All-Star.

Popularity plummeted.

The media reported that Lu Yu became the king of votes, and they all agreed that he deserved it.

His stats are terrifying, ranking first in the league in assists per game with 10.4 assists per game, ranking first in the league in scoring with 36.3 points per game, and ranking second in the league in rebounds per game with 14.3, second only to Ben Wallace.

But the season is not over yet, and Lu Yu's rebound count is gradually increasing.

Lu Yu's three-point shooting percentage ranks first in the league at 51.4%, three-point shooting percentage ranks first in the league, averaging 3.4 per game, and free throw percentage ranks first at 97.6%.

Lu Yu's high-level data is even more eye-catching, with a true shooting percentage of 60.6%, ranking second in the league, second only to the Bulls' 60.7% "Little Shark" Eddie Curry, and surpassing "Big Shark" O'Neal with 60.2%.

Shooting percentage has always been an important criterion for measuring a player's scoring ability. NBA has a more fair calculation method called "ts%". number of shots)].

In theory, players who make more free throws are more likely to be on the list. Of course, there are exceptions. For example, Iverson, who averages 10 free throws per game, rarely achieves 50% true shooting percentage. His league ranking in this data is usually outside the 100th place. Even Fisher is often ranked ahead of him among guards, and he didn't make the list in a few seasons.

Believe it or not, the high-level data of "Answer" is so awesome. With a true shooting percentage of 48%, he can win the scoring title, and in his previous life, he won the regular season mvp with 51.8%.

His opposite is Billups, whose shooting percentage is around 60% all the year round. Looking at the true shooting percentage, it has exceeded [-]% in many seasons.

The true shooting percentage will not be displayed on the normal personal data sheet, but it is often found by scouts and general managers of many teams.

No team wants to have an indiscriminate shooting champion, and true shooting percentage is often an important reference data to measure the efficiency of the player's conversion of shots into points.

Lu Yu played this kind of data, and still won the evaluation of "selfless", because he only averaged 17.7 shots per game, and he couldn't make it to the iron list.

With such data, it is only natural that Lu Yu won the All-Star vote.

The other four starters in the West are: Nash, Kobe, Garnett and Duncan.

Garnett is happy. Lu Yu just said a few days ago that Nowitzki is the third power forward in the league. Now that he has squeezed out Nowitzki to become the starting forward in the Western Conference, this is not to prove that he is better than Nowitzki. Want to be strong?

...

In fact, this is not the case. You must know that popularity and strength are two concepts.

Garnett's style of play attracts more fans, but it does not mean that he is better than Nowitzki.

In fact, Garnett is a rare all-around talent, a mid-range shooter, a master of defense, a master of rebounding, and a master of support. As long as the team needs him to do it, he will definitely be able to complete the task well.

Garnett's physical fitness and his own versatility are compared with Nowitzki, and they all win without any suspense, but the scoring ability is only one level behind Nowitzki.

It is also because of this scoring ability that Garnett's career is much inferior to that of Nowitzki.

In Lu Yu's previous life, Nowitzki and Garnett played against each other 37 times in their careers, and Nowitzki won 20 times.

In the Western Conference playoff matchup that year, Nowitzki's Mavericks directly swept Garnett's Timberwolves.

Nowitzki is a veritable leader, and he is even more trustworthy in the playoffs.

Although Garnett should be better than Nowitzki in every aspect except offense, basketball is a sport that scores more points than both teams.

Therefore, the career of Nowitzki, who can score more and has more leadership ability, is destined to be greater than Garnett!

The seven substitutes in the West are: Nowitzki, Marion, Francis, Yao Ming, Payton, McGrady, Ray Allen.

Originally, Yi Jianlian also had a chance to be selected, but there are too many Chinese players in the NBA, so the votes were scattered a lot. At the last moment, the forward position did not squeeze Garnett and Duncan.

As for the substitute, it is selected by the head coach De Popovich, so Yi Jianlian is even less likely to be selected.

The Western team has many all-star legacy, such as Arenas of the Warriors. In his previous life, Arenas was a proper All-Star in the Eastern Conference, but he was left out in the Western Conference, because there are too many players in the Western Conference. Too much.

The East is gathering All-Stars.

Their striker really didn't have suitable people, and even disabled people like Grant Hill were selected again.

Eastern Conference starting five: Allen Iverson, Vince Carter, Wang Zhizhi, LeBron James, Shaquille O'Neal

Seven substitutes: Dwyane Wade, Zaindrunas Inlgoskas, Jermaine O'Neal, Paul Pierce, Ben Wallace, Grant Hill, Paul Pierce.

Wang Zhizhi became an All-Star starter for the first time, thanks to Bulls coach Cartwright putting him at the power forward position. If he was placed at the center position, he might not be able to compete with O'Neal.

But even if he plays center, even if he can't be selected as a starter, he will definitely have a place on the bench.

After all, this season, he played very well.

There is really no one in the East. Look at their bench lineup. Players like Big Z and Hill who can't keep up with their fundamental strength can all be selected.

Both Wade and James appeared on the All-Star roster for the first time.

Carmelo Anthony is already crying in the bathroom.

There are a total of 14 players in the Eastern and Western All-Star benches, including seven in the Eastern and Western Divisions. They are selected by 30 NBA coaches.Each coach is asked to select his division's seven players, two guards, two forwards and a center, plus two other players that have nothing to do with position.

...

And each coach is not allowed to choose the players of their own team.

This is also the reason why Ginobili and Parker did not appear in the West's bench lineup.

Because the head coach of the West team is Popovich.

The head coach of the Eastern Conference is Van Gundy.

Another feature of this year's All-Star Game is that there are many international players.

The most of them are three players from China.

Lu Yu, Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi.

This also makes many basketball experts agree that the Chinese men's basketball team has become the second most powerful country in world basketball except the United States.

Others include Nash from Canada, Dirk Nowitzki from Germany, Duncan from the Virgin Islands, and Yingauskas from Lithuania. There are a total of seven international players, making this All-Star Game nearly three foreign players. The most All-Star selections in years.

This is the third year in a row that the NBA All-Star team will play in uniform, and today's jerseys are sponsored by Reebok.

That is Yao Ming's current sponsor.

Lu Yu didn't intervene too much in Yao Ming's choice of sponsors, but who knew that the same thing happened in his previous life.

At that time, ESPN also quoted the article of the Associated Press, and played the headline "Reebok replaced Nike to grab Yao Ming".

Nike would rather give James a seven-year $7 million contract than give Yao Ming a contract worth more than $9000 million.

In their view, Yao Ming is no longer a representative of Chinese basketball.

Lu Yu is.

This point is different from Lu Yu's previous life, but the same goal by different routes. In the end, Yao Ming still felt insulted by Nike.

During the stalemate in the negotiations, Reebok saw an opportunity—not only saw the disintegration of Yao Ming and Nike, but also coveted his potential and the Chinese market behind it.Immediately signed a 7-year 5000 million contract with Yao Ming.

Yao Ming made various types of TV and print advertisements for Reebok in China, and participated in various commercial promotion activities of Reebok.At the same time, Yao Ming's series of Reebok basketball shoes and sportswear will soon land in major markets.

Reebok's quarterly revenue has reached the best record in six years-this shows the relationship between Yao Ming and Reebok's mutual achievements.

Of course, Ding Shizhong of Anta also wanted to sign Yao Ming at the beginning, but this time he hesitated. Firstly, because Yao Ming is a center forward, and the shoes of center forwards are not easy to sell. Secondly, he already has Lu Yu, so he signed Yao Ming again. Although it can be icing on the cake, but how much can be added is still unknown.

Anta has been developing rapidly in the past two years, but at the same time their financial pressure is also increasing.

They also want to sign more stars, but definitely not Yao Ming, because their eyes have been aimed at overseas markets.

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and read books recently, change sources and switch, read aloud with many timbres, . 】

They have already achieved the first place in the domestic market, and what they have to do is to beat Nike and Adidas.

This All-Star game was held in New York, but the Knicks did not have a star selected. It has to be said that the Knicks are really muddy and cannot support the wall.

With such good resources in hand, they can directly become the team with the highest market value in the league without even playing a game.

Many stars also hope to play in a big city like New York, but they just can't build a team properly, which makes people daunted.

The current Knicks are not that bad, but there are already signs of running away from that level.

However, Lu Yu met Dolan, the owner of the Knicks. Thinking about Dolan's appearance, it is no accident that the Knicks have fallen from a strong team in the league to a place where stars are discouraged.
