Basketball starts with breathing

The third game started in Dallas. Before the start of the third game, Lu Yu received the MVP trophy from NBA Commissioner David Stern and delivered his acceptance speech.

Delivered regular season MVP acceptance speech in front of Dallas Mavericks fans.

A little shrimp and pig heart.

Especially the Mavericks boss, Cuban's face turned into a liver color.

"First of all, I would like to thank the fans and friends for their support. Because of you, I can start a day of training and games every day when the sun rises. Secondly, I feel that the teammates of the Suns have helped me throughout the season. Got this trophy."

The fans at the scene began to applaud sparsely, and the Mavericks fans expressed their indifference to Lu Yu winning the MVP.

Of course, if Lu Yu was a Mavericks player, the situation would be different.

"I would also like to thank the coaching staff, management, trainers, and team doctors behind the scenes. Without you, this team cannot always be on the right track."

What Lu Yu said was clichéd official language, and he couldn't be humorous. In fact, what he wanted to thank most was the golden finger of the breathing method. Without the breathing method, his body would not have been polished to such a degree.

The only pity is that the breathing method requires hard training to achieve today's achievements, and the process in the middle is as tiring as a dog.

If he could get a golden finger in his next life, Lu Yu hoped that it would be a golden finger that would allow him to lie down and win.

After presenting the award, Stern stood beside Lu Yu and looked at Lu Yu quietly. Like many fans, he felt incredible.

The rookie contract is not yet over, but Lu Yu has done what no player has ever done in decades of NBA history. The championship, MVP, FMVP, various records, various honors, getting soft hands, not only locked The number of places in the Hall of Fame, and even following this trend, surpassing the god of basketball is a sure thing.

You know, Lu Yu is a Chinese player.

Who would have thought that beyond the god of basketball, it would be a Chinese player.

Incredible.

After the start of the game, the Suns were in great momentum. Lu Yu led the team to the lead and won the game 125 to 109. The total score came to 3 to 0.
Lu Yu scored a large double-double with 32 points and 17 assists. He used pick-and-roll breakthroughs again and again to score or assist his teammates.

There is no case in NBA history where the opponent can win the game 3-0.

Mavericks owner Mark Cuban is already thinking about whether to let the sun let the sun go, after all, it is a bit ugly to be swept.

But what he considered was that even if he didn't go to the Suns boss to beg the other party to release the water, the other party would probably release it. After all, if he played one more home game, the Suns boss could earn more ticket money.

Especially in such a critical game.

The fourth game continued in Dallas. The Mavericks, who had no room to retreat, decided to fight with their backs. Mark Cuban also decided not to intercede with the Suns boss, in case the Mavericks can come back 3-0.

The Mavericks intensified their confrontation, and Finley's foul on Marion almost caused a conflict. Dampier also dragged and dragged Lu Yu when he was defending Lu Yu, wishing he could put Lu Yu in the hospital. …

The way the Mavericks dealt with Lu Yu was to commit vicious fouls. Players not only had to knock the ball off, but also let Lu Yu know the pain. Fans scolded insidiously, they could only use this method and resign themselves to fate.

This trick is somewhat effective, but Lu Yu can also break through in addition to shooting. Breaking through is not all about scoring, and he can also pass the ball to his teammates.

However, D'Antoni was afraid of Lu Yu's injury, so he didn't dare to play his life like this in the away game, so he simply replaced Lu Yu to rest.

What's more, they made a preliminary plan before playing this game. If the opponent really wants to play tricks, they will give up this game. Make complaints.

After returning to the home court, the Mavericks players would never dare to do this.

Because they are also afraid that they will not be able to get out of Phoenix.

In the end, the Suns lost the game, allowing the Mavericks to win a moment of respite.

This defeat not only didn't make Lu Yu's popularity drop, but made Lu Yu's popularity rise even more, because Lu Yu had already forced his opponent to this point. In the history of the NBA, the only way to force an opponent into this is the Pistons against Jordan.

This is the famous Jordan rule.

The "Jordan Rule" is a defensive strategy formulated by the Pistons in the late 80s to limit Jordan.

The main method is to use hard physical contact and fierce fouls, pushing, pulling, dragging, whatever.This defense strategy is actually a simple and crude extreme defense.

Because Jordan's personal scoring ability is extremely strong, the Pistons chose to use all their strength to defend Jordan, and the defensive method can be called violence.

If this still can't prevent Jordan, then defend Jordan's teammates in the same way and let him go, but it's not really letting him go.

In short, the Pistons used this extreme defensive method for three consecutive years to beat the basketball god of the year, and it was not until later that they defeated the Bad Boys.

Everything has to start with the 1985 All-Stars.In the All-Star Game that year, the smiling assassin Yinzaya Thomas couldn't stand Jordan's limelight, so he teamed up with many big names in the All-Star Game to isolate Jordan.

In that game, Jordan made only 9 of 7 shots.

Since then, Jordan and the assassin have become enemies.

And it is precisely because of the enmity with Jordan that the Dream Team has no position as an assassin.

After that, Jordan always held back his energy against the Pistons, scoring 47 points, 61 points, 49 points and 59 points. These were terrible revenges again and again.

On April 1988, 4, Jordan scored 3 points at home to help the Bulls narrowly beat the Pistons.

Pistons coach Chuck Daly finally had enough, saying, "We can't let Michael Jordan beat us single-handedly again." So, Daly and his assistants developed a defensive strategy specifically for Jordan.

This is the later "Jordan Law".

This defensive strategy is nothing more than two concepts. One is that Jordan can score at will, and the other is that you cannot let Jordan score.In fact, the real idea behind this rule is called a "dirty" defense.

The strategy details what the opposing player should do when Jordan is on the court.And its core essence is, no matter what, no matter what means are used, it is to make it impossible for Jordan to score easily. …

Ever since, powerful collisions and fierce fouls have become the standard equipment for the Pistons against Jordan in the future.

Although the Mavericks didn't say it clearly, the way they are doing to Lu Yu now is officially exactly the same as Jordan's rules back then.

But back home to the Suns, everything has changed.

As expected, the Mavericks didn't dare to be too presumptuous in the fifth game. Apart from the fact that this is Phoenix's home court, there is also the referee factor. The referee also took care of the home whistle. After all, they don't want to stay in a hotel When I was beaten by fans.

However, the Mavericks' defensive moves in this battle were not too small, and were somewhat larger than usual routine moves.

诺维斯基全场打了47分钟，15投4中，三分8中1，罚球11中10，得到21分11个篮板4助攻1抢断。

He was very uncomfortable being defended. Haslem also gave him small moves on the defensive end this time. When both sides made a lot of moves, Nowitzki's stability had some problems.

Haslem almost swollen Nowitzki's hand. The referee, based on the principle of the same scale for both sides, would not blow it anyway.

Nowitzki turned around and broke through, and was directly overturned to the ground by Lianren dribbling the ball.

The calf's defensive action was also great. Dampier couldn't defend Lu Yu, so he directly pushed with his hands, pulled hard, and when Lu Yu was almost pulled down, he gave him an elbow, opened the corner of his eye, and blood flowed .

Mavericks coach Johnson didn't expect Dampier's off-the-box tricks to be cracked by Lu Yu, and he made himself into this virtue.

At this time, he remembered that Lu Yu didn't seem to have lost any fights back then.

Lu Yu just used the Muay Thai elbow attack at the moment of being pulled, so he still kept his strength, otherwise Dampier should be on the way to the hospital.

Fighting, Lu Yu is a professional.

Playing basketball is just a side job.

The final game was 119 to 97, and the Suns defeated the Mavericks 4 to 1 to advance to the Western Conference Finals.

The Mavericks players were downcast when they returned to the locker room. They had tried their best and tried their best to defend, but they still couldn't guard Lu Yu. As the core of the team, Nowitzki was the most responsible one.

At this time, Cuban somewhat regretted his decision in the summer, and even regretted sending Nash to the Suns. Isn't this an enemy?
Nowitzki lost more than one grade to Lu Yu in terms of technology, body, and various dimensions. Cuban didn't know why his brain was so cramped, and why he didn't want Lu Yu for the sake of Nowitzki. Yu?

Lu Yu scored a game-high 37 points and 9 assists. The "tough" defense of the Mavericks did not limit Lu Yu's performance.

The game between the Spurs and the Warriors has also entered a fierce battle. The Spurs, which had a 3-1 lead, also wanted to end the series 4-1 like the Suns. As a result, they lost in the Tianwangshan battle.

Arenas scored 47 points and 14 assists in the battle of Tianwangshan. Yao Ming scored 33 points and 18 rebounds.

The reporter asked Lu Yu to predict who his opponent would be in the next round.

Lu Yu shook his head: "I don't know, but no matter who it is, I believe it must be us who win the Western Conference championship."

He really doesn't know, because although the Spurs are very strong, the Warriors seem to be trying to overcome them, especially after the Warriors won the fifth game, and their morale has been greatly improved. Even though they are one game behind, they seem to have found A way to win the game. …

Yao Ming is a natural barrier in the interior, and the Spurs have no good way to deal with Yao Ming on both offense and defense.

Their only way is to limit Arenas, which is why the Spurs can win three games. If they limit Arenas, Yao Ming alone cannot win against the Spurs.

The Warriors won both games because Arenas played well.

So Arenas became the winner of this round of the series.

Lu Yu didn't know the result of the game, and he couldn't predict it, because Arenas was a bit nervous, and he couldn't guess how he would be in the next game.

The reporter asked: "After a year of reconstruction, what is the key to the Suns reaching the Western Conference Finals?"

It is impossible for Lu Yu to have the cheek to say rely on me.

He smiled and said: "Relying on the cooperation of the team, every player in the team wants to fulfill the sentence we said at the beginning of the season. We want to be the villain of the entire league. We work together and do our best for this goal." All physical strength."

"Although we are a young team, the teams with the best records in the league are all young teams. Even Duncan of the Spurs, don't look at him as old, he is actually only 29 years old."

Lu Yu actually hopes that the Warriors can win, because he doesn't like playing against the Spurs.

The Spurs' tactics are really annoying. It seems that they started off on defense, but they are different from purely defensive teams like the Pistons.

If you want to talk about the team that Lu Yu played the most in his previous life, then it must be the Suns led by Nash. In that era that focused on defense and the offensive rhythm was relatively slow, the Suns took a slanted sword and held high the "running and bombing" concept. Banner, under their fierce offensive, it is almost difficult for any team to stop them.

In the 04-05 season, this was the first year the Suns started the whirlwind. They immediately achieved the league's first record of 62 wins and 20 losses, and they were invincible in the playoffs, sweeping the Grizzlies and beating the Mavericks in six games. Back to the stage of the Western Conference Finals again.

Just when everyone was expecting the Suns to win the first championship in team history, they lost to the Spurs by a big score of 1:4 in the Western Conference Finals. Stoudemire averaged 37 points and 10 rebounds per game. , The data is not luxurious, so why did the Suns still lose to the Spurs?

How did Duncan play at the time?

GDP performance is not weaker than Nash and Stoudemire.It has to be said that although Stoudemire transferred to the Knicks in the 10-11 season and only played well for a while, he quickly fell.

But during the Suns period, he was definitely a top five power forward in the NBA. His explosive athleticism allowed him to thrive under the run-and-gun tactics. In this round of the series, he shot 55% and averaged 37 points per game. Points, 9.8 rebounds and 1.6 blocks, even in today's data blowout era, is a rare dominant performance.

And Nash, who played better in big scenes, also performed well in this round. Not only did he organize the team perfectly, but he was also able to share the pressure on the offensive end. He averaged 23.2 points and 10.6 assists per game. , have such perfect contributions, maybe no team has the power to parry in front of them, but it is a pity that the Spurs are also at their peak this year.

Compared with Nash and Stoudemire, the performance of the formed GDP portfolio is not inferior at all.

The team that Lu Yu least wants to meet is the GDP at this time.

Although he is confident that he can win, and thinks that the probability of winning is not low, but basketball is round, and anything can happen.

One of the most important reasons is because——

The GDP of this year is really too fierce.
