Basketball starts with breathing

The Spurs attacked, and Parker dribbled the ball across the half court, covering the basketball with his back to observe the movements of his teammates.

Nash hates Parker, this guy is too fast, it is difficult for the opponent to reach out for a steal when he is in the back, if you step aside halfway to make a gamble steal, he will immediately turn around and break through, blocking the defender with his hand, Quickly throws you away, sprints to the hoop and turns for a layup.

Parker's face-to-face attack is not a vegetarian either. He always wears a charming smile when he breaks through, as if he is not facing the defender, but the beautiful Yin Wa or someone else's wife.

Nash suffered several losses against Parker. Lu Yu told him some matchup experience, and he could only follow the rhythm of this hob player when defending.

Duncan covered for Ginobili from the side, "Vulture" received a pass from Parker, and broke through with the ball to attract Haslem to switch defenses and pass the ball to Duncan. Battier played close to Duncan.

Duncan held the ball and forced a breakthrough. Lu Yu retreated and formed a double-team under the basket, forcing Duncan to pass the ball again. He failed to pass to the center Nesterovic who was empty on the other side. The passing lanes are blocked.

Fans know that the defensive intensity in the playoffs is very strong, and the main scorer of the team will be taken care of by the opponent. Double teams are commonplace, so it is very difficult to get high scores. The one who can score 50 points in the playoffs is the superstar. scorer.

The defensive tactic arranged by Sun assistant Larry Drew is to double-team Duncan near the penalty area, cut off his connection with his teammates inside, and force him to pass the ball to others for singles.

If Duncan plays singles farther from the basket, the player singles.

Ginobili made a shot.

The Suns attacked, the players pulled away, and Lu Yu directly singled out Nesterovic.

Popovich on the sidelines was buzzing watching, the opponent finally stopped talking about martial arts.

Lu Yu held the ball in his left hand and took a step towards Nesterovic to his right hand. When the two were about to collide, he dribbled the ball with his right hand to his left hand, turned sideways to the left and succeeded with extraordinary speed.

Nesterovic turned around and had no time to catch up. He turned his head and saw Lu Yu attracting Duncan to make up the ball on the left, and Haslem made a mid-range shot from the bottom line.

10 is better than 2
Nesterovich was a little speechless.

When have you ever seen a center forward change direction faster than a guard and with a wider range?
The most important thing is that Lu Yu's movements are simple and efficient.

As long as you often watch NBA games, you will find that almost all star singles use basic movements, trying to use their physical advantages to surpass others or shoot, rather than playing tricks.Only pseudo-fans would think that having more tricks means playing well. Even a star known as an "offensive kaleidoscope" depends on who the opponent is to decide what tricks to use to attack the opponent's weaknesses.

Both sides defended very tightly near the restricted area, and the stars were singled out to attack. Just 5 minutes into the first quarter, the Spurs felt warmer and chased a few points. The Suns led 13 to 8. Lu Yu scored 7 points and sent out 3 assists.

The Spurs instead let Nesterovic and Bowen flank Lu Yu, and the others crazily switched positions, which consumed a lot of physical energy for the players.

Popovich realized that Nesterovic could not be the main defense anymore. He couldn't keep up with the speed one-on-one. It would be better to have Bowen's help in flanking, but Bowen didn't dare to play tricks on Lu Yu. …

After a few more rounds, Lu Yu released Nesterovic two steps away while defending. Nesterovic missed the shot and the rebound was knocked out of the baseline by Duncan.

Zhang Weiping said with a smile: "Popovich said before the game that he found a way to beat the Suns. Their insider Nesterovic can beat Lu Yu. Is this defeat?"

Sun Yiping said: "Nesterovic is nothing but tall. He is just a blue-collar worker. Popovich compares him to Lu Yu because of his mentality."

In the first quarter, the Suns led 30 to 23 and had a slight upper hand.

Entering the second quarter, the Spurs proved that veterans are not so easy to bully.The substitute had hot hands today and hit consecutive three-pointers.

Ginobili led the bench lineup and Nash led the bench lineup to fight. During this time, the Spurs did not have a point guard. Ginobili cameo as a point guard. It is obvious that Ginobili was present When it was on, it was two styles with Parker.

Nash's fast-break running and bombing in the past was completely misfired under Ginobili's suppression.

In fact, it is not surprising that at the beginning of the season, Nash played running and bombing, and he kept losing when he encountered a slightly stronger team. However, the Spurs' bench lineup led by Ginobili is actually not weaker than some strong teams in the league.

The Spurs quickly overtook the score.

After Lu Yu came back, the Spurs began to double-team frequently to force him to pass the ball, and the defense in other positions relied on rotation.

In the second half, Richardson and Battier didn't find the shooting target, and the Suns trailed 51 to 56 at halftime.

D'Antoni hasn't thought about it at this time, it's time to adjust the lineup.

In Lu Yu's previous life, even in 2018, D'Antoni had problems with his on-the-spot response. He rarely played two big men to form the twin towers. When he was in the Lakers, he even let Gasol play as a substitute.

After Lu Yu reminded during the intermission, D'Antoni finally made adjustments.

The Suns changed their strategy, Lu Yu led the strongest defensive lineup in the third quarter, Richardson, Battier, Marion and Haslem played.

This lineup can not only guarantee the defensive strength but also launch a counterattack after grabbing rebounds. It is a rotation for the Spurs lineup.

The Spurs attacked, passing back and forth with no open opportunities. Ginobili hit a three-pointer against Battier who had just played, and Haslem grabbed a defensive rebound.

Lu Yu dribbled the ball, and before the screen came up, he stepped back to the right to shoot a three-pointer.

Originally, Nesterovic couldn't guard Lu Yu, and Bowen didn't expect Lu Yu to shoot. Lu Yu was pestered by the two of them for a few minutes in the first half. feel.

After voting, Lu Yu felt his touch come back.

54 is better than 56
The Suns are only two points behind.

Duncan received the ball and singled Haslem on the left, turned around and missed the shot under interference.Haslem doesn't ask for blocks, and has developed a good habit at the University of Buddha, blocking the opponent's eyes as much as possible to interfere with shooting.

Marion pushed the ball out, Lu Yu picked up the rebound and launched a quick counterattack from the left.

He gave his right hand to his left, and took a step towards the defender. He dribbled the ball with his left hand and gave his right hand a change of direction.

When getting rid of it, it is a common NBA trick for a player to dial someone with one hand. Referees generally don't blow the whistle, and even a star whistle can directly elbow someone. …

The defender didn't stop Lu Yu when he wanted to foul, and watched him make a quick layup.

56 to 56, the two sides tied.

Lu Yu scored the 19th point of the game.

The Spurs attacked, Ginobili caught the ball with his cover and raised the ball with both hands, shook Battier who was chasing him, jumped forward and hit him, causing a foul, and made 3 of 2 free throws. 58 to 56.

The Suns attacked, and Lu Yu caught the ball and was double-teamed by Bowen and Nesterovic. He took advantage of the opportunity to pass the ball to Richardson and ran to the left corner.Battier stood in the right corner, the formation opened up, and Ginobili hurried to chase Richardson.

Richardson, who was at 70 degrees on the right, had a chance to miss the shot with his mobile phone. After a feint, he took a step to protect the ball in the middle, waiting for Lu Yu to move.

Lu Yu didn't look for cover, he ran directly to catch the ball and turned around to face the frame. Bo Wen caught up. Lu Yu changed direction to the left and brought him into the three-point line. Bo Wen moved laterally to keep up. Lu Yu stopped behind the back Dribbled to the right hand, took the right foot and stepped back out of the three-point line.

This time Bowen lost his center of gravity and couldn't keep up.

He felt very ashamed. As a defender, he was knocked down by the center. He could only watch Lu Yu take another shot and hit another one.

59 to 58.
Lu Yu's 22th point.

When Lu Yu received the ball in the first half, the Spurs still booed a lot at home. Now the scene is silent. Lu Yu's consecutive tying and overtaking made the fans feel incredible.

Although the Spurs fell behind for a while in the first half, the Spurs soon stabilized.

Now it seems that everything is an illusion.

It's just because Lu Yu hasn't started to exert his strength yet.

Lu Yu made a sudden effort in the third quarter before in the regular season, and the hand convulsion was scary, and the home fans had a bad feeling.

The Spurs attacked, the players couldn't pass the ball out of space, and they didn't dare to shoot from the outside. It wasted 18 seconds and the ball was handed over to the core.

After receiving the ball, Duncan protruded from the bottom line and was caught by Haslem. He protected the ball and pushed his opponent twice with his back and remained motionless.

Just because the inside line is tall doesn't mean it's tough, the bottom line is the key.

Duncan's strength has never been his strong point. What makes him great lies in his comprehensive skills and stable mid-range play. It is nonsense to say that strength is good. He often squeezes inside and outside. It's just that his wrist is too soft, and he can put the ball into the basket outside.

Duncan turned to the middle for a jumper, leaned back slightly to avoid the block, and missed under the interference. Nesterovic pushed for a foul while grabbing a rebound.

Popovich requested a timeout, but it was impossible to call, and the home team was about to lose momentum.

Lu Yu left the field and celebrated with high fives with his teammates
Zhang Weiping said with a smile: "I don't know what those fans on the Internet who said that Lu Yu was double-teamed in the last game, but today he completely broke the double-team of the Spurs."

Sun Yiping said: "The Suns have figured out the Spurs' system after two games. The offense mainly relies on four players. The Suns' defense today is very targeted. They strictly guard against the troika and let others shoot."

On the sidelines, D'Antoni asked: "Lu, do you need to rest for a while?" …

He hoped that Lu Yu would fight more, but he had to ask his opinion, which would be better.

"No, we want to win this game!" Lu Yu said loudly: "Brothers, let them see how stupid it is to eliminate the sun today."

Now that the score is tense, D'Antoni is having a cramp in his head or something, and he actually asked Lu Yu if he wanted to rest.

He bought the ball, right?

"Okay." The teammates responded together.

Spurs made a substitution after the timeout, with Nazr Mohamed replacing Nesterovic.Mohammed is a center forward with a height of 208cm and a weight of 113kg. He is much more maneuverable than Nesterovic and barely has the ability to shoot mid-range.

At the beginning of the game, Lu Yu played a pick-and-roll misplacement to attract Duncan's defense, and gave the ball to Haslem in the middle. The latter made an air cut and got the ball into the basket. Behind the chase block.

Haslem thought too much about this ball. If he went directly like before, Mohamed would not be able to block the shot due to his lack of height, and it would be too late for Duncan to chase and defend.

This is a manifestation of inexperience, but the Suns did not change players, the tactics became a zone defense, and the position did not follow others. Lu Yu was always ready to help other players pinch the ball holder.

After passing several times, the Spurs couldn't get into the penalty area. After 24 seconds, Ginobili forced a shot against Battier and hit a three-pointer. 59 to 61.

Otherwise, if you look at the Demon Sword in a desperate situation, you still have to rely on him at the critical moment.

The Spurs are back to life at home.

The Suns attacked, and Lu Yu and Haslem played a pick-and-roll in the middle. He turned his head and glanced at Haslem. Pick up the basket quickly with your toes up, and hit the board into the frame.

His breakthrough and shot speed are at the top of the league. Even if Duncan turned around, he didn't have time to take off and block the shot. Mohamed followed Haslem farther away, and there was nothing he could do.

61 tie, Lu Yu's 24th point.

The two sides drew again, and the Spurs' home court was silent again.

The Spurs simply gritted their teeth and asked Duncan to defend Lu Yu and Mohammed to help defend on one side, but Lu Yu still had a way to score, relying on fast running off the ball.

This is not a center, this is obviously a shooting guard.

We can't let Duncan run around in circles like Lu Yu. At that time, Lu Yu is still scoring, but Duncan is exhausted.

Lu Yu's physical fitness is better than any NBA player. Let alone one game, even two consecutive high-intensity playoff games, he will not feel muscle soreness.

At present, endurance is a single competition in the league. Perhaps only Hamilton, who came from a long-distance running family, and Iverson, who has averaged more than 40 minutes per game in his career, can be compared with him.

However, Hamilton said in an interview that the years when he was teammates with Lu Yu were the most painful times for him.

Because he couldn't outrun Lu Yu.

Those who are taller than Lu Yu are not as fast as Lu Yu, those who are faster than Lu Yu are not as tall as Lu Yu, and those who are stronger than Lu Yu are not as stable as Lu Yu's shooting. It seems that only 203cm James can be used to defend Lu Yu, which is still a little bit of a match.

But James' defense is meaningless at best.

After all, his nickname is the little emperor, so there is no reason for the emperor to defend himself.

Lu Yu's nickname has not changed for so many years, and everyone still calls him a gentleman, because you see him playing, he is really a gentleman, except when fighting.

Lu Yu never rested in the second half.

With Lu Yu on the court, the Suns have the backbone. Otherwise, Nash would come up to play run and gun. The Spurs have thoroughly studied the run and gun style of play.

Lu Yu continued his performance in the second half of the third quarter. He made 21 of [-] shots and added free throws. He scored [-] points in a single quarter and Kerry directly ended the game.

At the end of the third quarter, the Suns led by 16 points.

Lu Yu scored 45 points and 8 assists in three quarters.

The atmosphere in the Spurs' home court is getting colder...
