Basketball starts with breathing

Chapter 377 If you want to win the championship, just hug Lu Yu's thigh (please subscribe)
Lu Yu knew Battier from the Rockets in his previous life.

During the offseason of 06, the Rockets used the No. 8 rookie Rudy Gay to trade Battier from the Grizzlies.

Battier's career, most of the time as the team's starting small forward, mainly responsible for the team's perimeter defense.

In the game, Battier is directly facing the opponent's best scorer. When the speed is not dominant, he can always use defensive positions and defensive skills, such as blindfolding, to limit the opponent's scoring and reduce the opponent's scoring efficiency.

On the offensive end, Battier is a reliable open shot point. His career corner three-point shooting rate exceeds 40%, and he has never been soft at critical moments.

All in all, if Battier is defined as a role player, he is one of the most successful role players in the NBA.

In addition to his contributions on the court, Battier also made great contributions to the team off the court.

Nicknamed "President", Battier is good at speaking and mobilizing the emotions of his teammates.So in the team locker room, Battier is often the spokesperson of the team, mediating problems between players and solving problems between coaches and players.

Battier won 1 Magic Johnson Award and 1 Best Teammate Award in his career.

Sean Battier is a player with all-round statistics. He was able to make various contributions to the team during the Rockets period. The core of the team, what impressed Lu Yu most was that the corner of his eye was smashed in a game. But we still have to stick to playing and win for the team.

A defensive specialist who doesn't get dirty.

That's a great review.

Every team likes to have a dirty defender, Battier can replace that person, and the gentleman's defense can still limit you.

The defensive end is very sticky. The super long wingspan and excellent defensive awareness can well limit the opponent's top scorer. Lu Yu personally thinks that defensive experts like Leopard, Battier, and Prince are all able to limit the opponent. Score as the greatest enjoyment.

In addition, Battier's corner three-pointers are very stable, and the offensive end can also help the team. Today, he is also a 3D player that every team needs very much.

Lu Yu felt that Battier and the current Sun were a match made in heaven.

The Suns attacked, Lu Yu and Haslem played a pick-and-roll, Haslem retreated and was blocked by Yao Ming, Lu Yu didn't have a chance to pass the ball to him, but found Battier in the corner.

Battier is really good at finding positions.

He is different from Richardson. Richardson needs to run all over the court to get rid of the defender, use various screens, and finally come out to receive Lu Yu's pass and shoot directly. This is Richardson's style. Rhythm.

And Battier, as long as he quietly ambush in the corner, when his defender retreated back, he was ready to catch the ball and shoot.

Lu Yu passes the ball to Battier, Battier catches the ball, pretends to shoot, Jamison jumps over, he feints a shot, dribbles to a 45-degree angle and hits the board to make a shot.

Battier was able to be the core of the team when he was at Duke University, which shows that he has a very high basketball IQ. The first moment he caught the ball, he realized that his shot might be interfered with, and he didn't even plan to make a shot.

And the middle distance hit the board is very stable, the basketball fell steadily into the basket.

13 is better than 9
Zhang Weiping said: "It seems that after Sean Battier came to the Suns, he didn't have any discomfort, and he didn't destroy the Suns' offensive and defensive system. He perfectly integrated into the Suns' tactics and scored two points."

Sun Yiping nodded: "I just don't know if Battier came on and Nash went off, the Suns lost one of their two engines, and now there is only Lu Yu. Will their offense be slowed down?"

It is obvious that Sun Yiping underestimated Sun and Lu Yu even more.

Battier's play did not make the Suns' offense procrastinate, but made the Warriors' offense as uncomfortable as constipation.

When Arenas was holding the ball, he found that Battier was defending in front of him. He immediately felt a headache. He knew Battier's defensive ability. Either Richardson or Marion are defensive champions.

Haslem on the inside has also played well recently, and his defense is also like a mad dog.

Coupled with the well-known defensive gatekeeper Lu Yu in the league, when the five opponents on the court are all defensive champions, it feels like picking any persimmon.

Lu Yu has always been very serious on the defensive end. This also changed the defensive style of the Suns, which was originally lazy.

Battier's defense is very clean, but this cleanliness makes him uncomfortable.

No matter from which direction to break through, Battier can stick to him tightly. Arenas can only call a pick and roll. Murphy pulls out to block Battier. Haslem is the most effective of the five defensive players. Grasp the fight.

The reason is that Haslem is not as incomprehensible as the other four defenders. Another reason is that Haslem is a big player, and it is always a disadvantage to defend a small guard like Arenas.

As for the other big man in the Suns...

Hey, how can Lu Yu be called a big player, so his mother is obviously a defender, okay?
Just when Arenas was about to speed up the pick-and-roll, Marion appeared out of nowhere and stabbed the basketball out of his hand.

Lu Yu saw clearly from behind. When the ball was poked off, he went straight down and got rid of power forward Murphy from the center line. Arenas' speed was not as fast as Lu Yu's, and soon he could only see the taillights .

Marion passed the ball, but Lu Yu didn't take it inside, but stopped outside the three-point line and shot a three-pointer.

Three point hit!

16 is better than 9
When many fans saw that Lu Yu chose to shoot a three-pointer, they were stunned for a moment.

In their opinion, shouldn't the ball go in for a dunk?

When he saw the ball was thrown in, he was relieved. It seemed that Lu Yu was confident in his three-pointer.

In fact, they were wrong. It was not that Lu Yu had confidence in his three-pointer, but that he should choose to ask for a three-pointer at this time.

In Lu Yu’s previous life, Kobe Bryant once said in an interview: “When I was on a fast break, there was no defensive player chasing and defending. If I hadn’t entered the three-point line, I would definitely choose to shoot a three-pointer, because even I can't make a shot, the rebound is mine, and I can hit another two in time."

Of course, it would be really bad luck if there was a missed shot and the basketball popped out of bounds.

Zhang Weiping said with a smile: "Lu Yu is too confident. Others will definitely layup when they encounter this kind of opportunity."

Sun Yiping laughed and said, "A layup is two points, but what he got now is three points."

Zhang Weiping laughed out loud, playing basketball was turned into a math problem by Lu Yu.

However, Lu Yu chose a three-pointer, which was indeed one more point than a layup. There was no problem at all, and Lu Yu's three-point shooting rate this season seemed to have improved compared to last season.

This is a bit scary. At Lu Yu's level, he can still improve every season.

Warriors attack, Arenas did not continue to singles, but chose to pass the ball to Jamison, and Jamison transitioned the ball to Jason Richardson.

At this time, Murphy screened for Yao Ming. Yao Ming went to a 45-degree angle to catch the ball. Richardson saw that Lu Yu was in a good position and directly lobbed the ball in.

They are still ready to attack from this point Haslem.

It's just that the main attacker changed from Arenas to Yao Ming.

After Yao Ming confronted, he turned around and shot, and made an easy hit.

The Suns attack, Lu Yu points the ball to Marion, Battier runs, Marion dribbles a step to Battier, Battier hands it to Richardson, Richardson uses Battier's hand to pass With a hand screen, he got rid of his brother Jason Richardson, and made a three-pointer from the top of the arc, but this time it was a bit more difficult, and it was almost a drifting shot.

Hey, Richardson has more and more potential for nerve knife.

When he is in a hot state, he can make shots no matter what. When he is in a bad state, he must stabilize his shots. Like today, when his shooting touch is average, if he still shoots like this, it will be biased at first glance. .

Lu Yu looked back, and sure enough, he was wrong.

Yao Ming grabbed the rebound and passed it to Arenas. Arenas seemed to be excited and also shot a three-pointer. Hehe, it was almost the same as Richardson. He even hit the iron in the same position.

Marion, who retreated, grabbed the rebound.

The sun reorganized the attack, and after Lu Yu used the cover, he passed it to Richardson again. This time Richardson did not let him down, and hit a three-pointer from the right.

19 is better than 11
If it weren't for Yao Ming's turnaround shot in that round, the point difference between the two sides would have been in double digits at this time. Even so, the point difference between the two sides was still eight points.

Warriors head coach Musselman didn't call a timeout. Instead, he imitated D'Antoni with his hands folded on the sidelines, leisurely. D'Antoni really didn't have any tactics to arrange, because he only had this set of tactics.

As head coach, shouldn't Musselman call a timeout to stabilize the situation?

He did not.

He is very confident, which is really honey-juice confidence.

Murphy made a good shot, Yao Ming grabbed the rebound and passed it to the outside to try to reorganize Arenas' offense. As a result, Arenas took the ball and shot again, and this time the rebound was grabbed by Lu Yu.

Lu Yu passed the ball to Richardson again after the pick-and-roll. Richardson feinted and passed his brother Jason Richardson. After attracting Arenas' help defense, he passed the ball to the ambush Battier in the corner, Battier made a three-pointer and hit it easily.

22 is better than 11
Zhang Weiping said: "The Suns have scored 22 points just after halfway through the first quarter. Looking at the situation, the Suns are rushing to score 40 points in the first quarter."

Sun Yiping said: "Among all the teams this year, the Suns scored the most 40+ points in a single quarter, 2 times more than No.30, their opponent Warriors today."

Zhang Weiping said: "Maybe this is a manifestation of the gap in strength. I always feel that the Suns seem to play very well on offense. In fact, I feel that the Suns' best defense is their defense. They can defend against the Warriors, which are very powerful offensively in the league. , which shows that their defense is really impeccable."

After Arenas was cut off by Marion once, he was very careful in the pick-and-roll. After attracting the switch, he distributed the ball to the middle, trying to let Yao Ming take advantage of his height to make a jump shot in front of Lu Yu.

Who knew that the ball he passed was too low, and it was directly intercepted by Lu Yu. After taking the ball, he went on a fast break, two steps away from Murphy who was covering up from the side, and Jamison was in front of him. Jamison could only watch Lu Yu fly to the basket.

bang.

A sky-splitting heavy dunk.

The whole place is boiling.

24 is better than 11
Lu Yu's dunk was not fancy, but very powerful.

Anyway, since this dunk, no one has watched James' dunk.

This annoyed James.

Annoyed that I entered the league too late, otherwise, how could my dunk posture become one of Lu Yu's exclusive dunk moves?

He also wants to find a cool dunk again.

But he really can't think of any good-looking, practical and useful dunks.

Zhang Weiping said: "Lu Yu's dunks are really entertaining, especially this year's dunk contest. After watching Lu Yu's dunks, watching other people's dunks is boring."

Sun Yiping sighed: "Yes, Lu Yu's dunk is the combination of real strength and beauty."

Zhang Weiping suddenly became very puzzled again: "But Lu Yu can jump so high except when dunking, he rarely jumps so fast, and his block data has not been high. It is reasonable to rely on his jumping and defensive ability. , there should be a lot of caps."

In fact, this was intentional by Lu Yu. He would rather be a defensive and offensive floor player than a jumper.

The jumping men in the league have very short careers, because they are too good at jumping, so they are often injured, while Lu Yu seldom jumps, so others can't find a chance if they want to step up.

Moreover, Lu Yu seldom faces the defender forcibly, and basically divides the ball a lot, which is why he rarely gets injured.

Regardless of how many rebounds he catches, most of the time his rebounds are based on how well he blocks, not how high he jumps.

Barkley won the rebounding title and jumped so hard, but after flying for a few years, he couldn't fly anymore, and the flying pig became a dead pig.

There is also Huang Mamba in Lu Yu's previous life who also plays outside the sky. After playing for a few years, both knees have become disabled knees. Muscle toughness has reached a very strong level, and he also cherishes his body, and endurance is the biggest attribute to ensure a long career.

What's more, this style of play can already guarantee that he is No.1 in the league.

There is no need to struggle to get injured and strive for higher honors.

Playing ten seasons and winning nine championships is not as shocking as playing twenty seasons and winning nineteen championships.

Calculate this year is 2005, twenty seasons, Lu Yu can play for another 16 years, can play until 2021, after that, Durant will not change teams, and he will save himself from being scolded. The closed-loop formula is so annoying.

Anyway, the championship belongs to Lu Yu.

If you want to win the championship, just hug Lu Yu's thigh.

If you don't want to get it, just brush up the data on your own team and get a big contract, which is also a very worry-free thing.

Maybe 16 years later, many stars should envy Kobe and Duncan. After all, they both won the championship before Lu Yu entered the league, and those talented players behind can only watch Lu Yu tearfully.
