Basketball starts with breathing

After Nowitzki grabbed the rebound and made a pass, Marbury gave the ball to Josh Howard after halftime.

11 is better than 6
Josh Howard is the surprise player for the Mavericks. This is a man who could have squeezed Nowitzki to become the boss of the Mavericks.

In Lu Yu's previous life, Josh Howard was selected with the 2003th pick in the first round of the 29 draft.

After he was signed by the Mavericks, he started the star-studded Mavericks team. He also helped the team reach the Finals and the Western Conference All-Stars.

2006至2007赛季，他可以拿下场均18点9分6点8篮板。

Josh Howard's low post is very strong, and ordinary small forwards can't defend against it. Shorter power forwards can't match his wingspan, and they are also overwhelmed.

And he made a greater contribution on the defensive end, marking the swingman on the outside line with extremely fast speed. His vitality brought unlimited offensive power to the Mavericks and supported the defensive system.

And the shooting is stable and the breakthrough is sharp. It is an excellent offensive firepower point with machine-like stability.

Josh Howard made his debut in defense, and then gradually developed shooting and breakthroughs. When he was with Nowitzki on the team, he even overshadowed Nowitzki. The head coach, General Johnson, once wanted to trade Nowitzki. Let Josh Howard be the team's first offensive point.

However, Nowitzki has stronger self-discipline than Josh Smith. The old king's life is clean, and there is very little bad news.

But on the other hand, Josh Howard, after earning a big contract, gradually began to be tempted by all kinds of temptations. Let him be completely reimbursed within a few seasons.

Self-discipline is sometimes the most difficult thing for a player to grasp.

Especially after making money.

When you have no money, you can still train hard. After you have money, the young models in the club will fly.

D'Antoni originally wanted to wait for the dead ball before making a substitution, but now he didn't want to wait any longer. He called a short timeout and didn't arrange any tactics after he came down. He just replaced Battier and Nash. He wanted to end the game within three quarters. .

So in the second quarter, Nash led the bench lineup is particularly critical.

Of course, it is more critical to confront the Mavericks.

After playing, Lu Yu passed the ball to Battier in the bottom corner. Battier raised his knife and dropped a three-pointer. Haslem got the ball, and the basketball fell into Marion's hands. Finley alone.

Marion's post-up singles looked awkward, and after carrying it twice, he turned around and entered the penalty area. Nowitzki assisted in the defense. Marion passed the ball to the middle. Haslem made an empty cut and made a layup, 13 to 6
In this round of offense, Lu Yu just gave the ball to Battier from the beginning to the end, and then he has nothing to do with him. Quentin Richardson is as invisible as him.

Sometimes Richardson's sense of presence in the game is not very strong, but at every critical moment, he will give the opponent a fatal blow.

When Marion played singles, Lu Yu didn't get involved. Although Marion's back-up singles were not very good-looking, he still had offensive ability. When his teammates took the initiative to play singles, Lu Yu would not run over to ask for the ball to attack his teammates. It is impossible to keep the ball in your own hands all the time, and you have to give your teammates a chance to perform. …

And when his teammates open it, he will face less flanking attacks.

The Suns can go further in this year's playoffs only if the teammates make better appointments and the team blossoms more.

The Mavericks attack, and Marbury feels insulted when he finds Richardson on the defender and Josh Howard on Battier.

Shouldn't the Mavericks' strongest outside offensive point be themselves?
How to let a defensive champion like Battier defend Howard?
What does the head coach of the Suns mean?
Look down on who is this?

Marbury changed his style of play, played a pick-and-roll with Nowitzki, and faced Haslem. Haslem was also very good at defending the pick-and-roll. He moved fast and was very mobile. Marbury could only pass the ball to the middle. , After Richardson switched defenses, he defended Nowitzki alone.

The Suns' lineup can change defenses infinitely.

Because except for Lu Yu, the other four players are all about the same height, and Lu Yu can wait for the opportunity to choose whether to flank, which is the aforementioned four-pointer.

This set of defensive tactics with unlimited defenses is actually not an imitation of Lu Yu's previous life's five death tactics. The earliest prototype is actually the sun back then.

Including many tactics of the Warriors now, you can see the shadow of the sun in 05.

In Lu Yu's previous life, the defensive strategy of the Suns in the 2005-2006 season was regrettably lost to the Mavericks in the Western Conference Finals.Stoudemire didn't play that time, Kurt Thomas was also injured in the playoffs, and the Suns lineup was seriously disorganized.They made it to the Western Conference Finals on the back of the swing and won two games against the Mavericks.

So when Lu Yu proposed this tactic, D'Antoni's eyes lit up, as if this was the tactic he thought of.

The strength of the current Suns team is definitely far superior to that of the 2005-2006 season in the previous life.

Nowitzki originally wanted to attack directly, but seeing Lu Yu ready to move, he could only pass the ball again. When the 24 seconds were running out, Marbury turned to the right side to single out Haslem, and after passing by, he stopped and hit a jumper , 13 to 8
Although they lost points, the Suns defended well without obvious loopholes.

The sun attacked, Lu Yu gestured, Haslem went to the side to cover Richardson, and he singled out Dampier in the middle.

He dribbled the ball from his crotch to the left and entered the three-point line. After being caught up, he held the ball in his left hand and leaned against Dampier with his back. Made a fake move to turn around in the middle.

Dampier's center of gravity moved slightly, and he quickly turned to the right with the ball in his left hand, succeeding.

Lu Yu made a 45-degree emergency stop jump shot and scored in cricket, 15 to 8, his seventh point.

Lu Yu is the big killer of the Suns. As long as the Mavericks don't double-team, he has a chance to single out anyone!

After the past few seasons, Lu Yu has already confirmed his own strength. He is not joking to lead the Suns to win the championship this season, it is really what he wants to do.

There is an old saying in China that once you are full of energy, you will be weak again, and you will be exhausted after three times.

Now the atmosphere has reached this point. If we can't lead the Suns to win the championship this year, it will become more and more difficult to win the championship next year, the year after, and in the future.

And with the current strength of the Suns, they have the strength to crush all the strong teams in the league.

In the second half of the first quarter, since Battier came on the court, the Suns have been playing against the Mavericks. The style of play is not too complicated. The offensive end is Lu Yu's misplaced attack. If there is a pinch, Lu Yu will pass the ball to the shooter or Find the cut Haslem. …

On the defensive end, the Suns can switch defenses infinitely. Even if Dampier is the main attacking point, Richardson can withstand it.

The Mavericks can only grit their teeth and attack, and if they can score a point, they can't defend anyway.

But in the face of the Suns who switch defenses wirelessly, whether it is a pick-and-roll with the ball or a screen without the ball, their efficiency has dropped significantly, and finally it has become a variety of one-on-one.

In the first quarter, the Suns led the Mavericks by 39 points 21 to 18.

陆余拿到了13分5个助攻5个篮板的数据，碾压马布里的5分1助攻。

In the second quarter, Lu Yu had a rest, and the Suns entered the playoff rotation time. Nash led the rotation.

The two teams competed on the bench and were evenly matched.

The Mavericks have a deep bench lineup, and the Suns should have a lot of substitutes. Daniels, Bradley, Stackhouse, and Devin Harris can all be used as a team. The weak team started.

The biggest problem for the Suns is the bench lineup, and the bench players are not strong enough.

However, the bench lineup led by Nash launched a running and bombing tactic, and by increasing the speed, it was actually on par with the Mavericks' deep lineup.

This almost didn't piss off the little general Johnson. He stood on the sidelines and jumped into a rage. Compared with Popovich, Johnson was more like old Nelson.

Especially when the Suns sent Haslem who had already rested, the Mavericks couldn't even protect the rebounds.

Big bamboo stick Bradley actually did not grab 203 Haslem.

Pissed off personally.

Bradley's size made him known as the "big bamboo pole". The scene that Lu Yu's fans talked about the most in his previous life was when he was dunked by Rockets star McGrady during his time with the Mavericks, which became one of the classic scenes in the NBA.

But Bradley was miserable.

On January 2021, 1, while Bradley was riding a bicycle at home, he was accidentally involved in a car accident and was paralyzed.

Bradley also talked about his mental journey after being paralyzed, especially when talking about the idea of ​​suicide. He said, "I don't know how to alleviate the pain in my heart. If everything ends like this, maybe it will be good. As a result, yes, the thoughts crept into my head, and it was very real. I couldn’t imagine myself, how to deal with these thoughts, but I definitely had suicidal thoughts.”

No one wants to live as a disabled person for half his life.

Lu Yu sympathized with him very much, and even wanted to tell him not to ride a bicycle in the future.

But there are some things, if you tell him now, he probably won't believe it, and will treat himself as a psychopath, just like Lu Yu suggested Kobe not to buy a helicopter in the future when he was eating.

In the second half, Haslem continued to start with Lu Yu, and both defended against Nowitzki alone and against pick-and-rolls were perfect.

The Suns started this set, and the Mavericks were a bit unable to take care of themselves. The constant defensive counterattack almost broke the confidence of the Mavericks players. Lu Yu took the ball alone, and the Mavericks were nervous, but Lu Yu rarely Taking the initiative to attack is to throw the ball to whoever sees the opportunity. …

Under the organization of Lu Yu, as long as the Mavericks dare to pinch him, the Suns can find teammates who are open. The teammates only need to stand in the shooting positions they are familiar with.

At the end of the three quarters, the Suns were 99 to 69, leading the Mavericks by 30 points.

At the beginning of the last quarter, D'Antoni originally planned to call for gold to retreat, but saw that Johnson still sent all the main force of the Mavericks up. He had no intention of surrendering at all, so he continued to deploy the starting lineup for the first quarter. Nash replaced Ba teal.

Zhang Weiping commented: "Since Shane Battier came, Nash's playing time has become less, and the Sun's reliance on Nash lies more in his leadership of the second team."

Sun Yiping smiled and said: "It's a pity that Nash didn't play as a substitute, otherwise he must be the best sixth man this season. D'Antoni replaced Nash, which has already given the Mavericks enough face. If they continue to use Battier, the Mavericks I guess it's gone."

Zhang Weiping nodded: "Now it depends on whether Johnson is willing to give up this game. Logically, this is the first game in the series. With so many losses, most coaches will choose to give up... Lu Yu is really great , Watching him play is a pleasure."

The huge butterfly effect caused by Lu Yu made Zhang Weiping change from Weiping Bryant to Weiping Lu. Now every time he explains a Suns game, Lu Yu always feels uncomfortable.

The Mavericks couldn't keep up with the score, and the game entered garbage time ahead of time. Lu Yu also sat on the sidelines early and began to rest. His statistics were fixed at 32 points, 11 assists, 9 rebounds and 3 steals. It's a pity that he didn't get a triple-double.

In fact, it is very easy for Lu Yu to score a rebound. Haslem deliberately let Lu Yu take the rebound to score a score, but Lu Yu did not grab it. He is not interested in collecting statistics.

D'Antoni also decided to replace Lu Yu after seeing Lu Yu's unwillingness to collect data.

The six Suns scored in double figures, Haslem 21 points, Richardson 17 points, and Marion 19 points.

The Mavericks also had three players score in double figures, but the one who scored the most was not Nowitzki, but Marbury's 22 points and 4 assists. Both Finley and Nowitzki scored 19 points, and Marbury scored both. Nash got it when he was on the court, and it became much more difficult for him to score after replacing Richardson.

This made him never underestimate Richardson.

At first, I thought that Richardson got into the championship ring after following Lu Yu. Everyone called him Lu Yu's guard with a knife. Unexpectedly, the knife of this guard with a knife seemed a bit sharp.

In fact, Richardson is a typical top 3D player.

There is defense and there are three points.

Other than the occasional blemish of needing a little reward mechanism, everything else is perfect.

For example, this time, Lu Yu promised to give him a game console.

The "ESPN NBA 2K5" released last year adjusted Richardson's score to 86 points. He was so happy that he was a little addicted to playing 2K recently.

Lu Yu promised him that as long as he can win the championship this year, he will give him a game console for playing 2K.

2K is so popular recently, Lu Yu plans to use the name of the magazine to cooperate with 2K next year. Why can ESPN cooperate with me, but my magazine cannot cooperate.

However, magazines will eventually be eliminated with the advent of the Internet age.

Lu Yu once played a game with Richardson and found that his score was only 98 points. He suddenly felt that this game company was not good enough.

Why only 98 points?

Shouldn't a player like me get full marks?
