Basketball starts with breathing

Chapter 77 Positioning cover?

Players from both sides played, and both sides were full of murderous intent.

Caron Butler deliberately didn't talk to Lu Yu before the game because he was afraid that he would be soft-hearted when he played. When he stood on the court, he had no friends, only opponents and enemies.

The Gonzaga Bulldogs' starting lineup is:
Center: Casey Green

Power Forward: Zach Goode
Small forward: Lu Yu
Shooting Guard: Blake Stepp

Point guard: Dan Dickau

The fans and opponents on the court did not know that Lu Yu was playing at the small forward position at this time, because this lineup is exactly the same as the starting lineup they usually use. The only difference is that Lu Yu and Blake Stepp have switched positions. for a moment.

This exchange is not simply letting Lu Yu come to defend Caron Butler.

That's not called lineup adjustment, that's called dislocation defense.

When Lu Yu appears at the small forward position, his placement, attacking choices and attacking methods will be different. There are many in the NBA now such as the swinging style of front and guard.

The most important role of the shooting guard and small forward is to score.

But there are differences between the two. A shooting guard can only score points, but a small forward must not only score, but also grab rebounds. The shooting of the ball, and even the inside back play are also essential skills that need to be mastered.

In short, this is an all-rounder on the court.

From the point of view of court positioning, guards generally fall at a 45-degree angle outside the three-point line. If the guard's offense with the ball is a strong point, then it is inevitable for small forwards to pull to the bottom corner, so many small forwards will choose Set the bottom corner.

That's why Blake Stepp wriggled out of the tunnel when he heard he could play shooting guard.

The starting lineup for the Connecticut Huskies is:

Center: Edmund Sanders

Power Forward: Johnny Selvey
Small Forward: Caron Butler

Shooting Guard: Albert Morin

Point guard: Tarek Brown
Lu Yu was slightly taken aback when he saw this lineup, because it was different from what they expected. Connecticut's original starting center was Suleiman Wayne, who was 211 cm, but they were useless. Edmund Sanders.

It's clear that Edmund Sanders can score better.

and so……

Is Jim Calhoun going to fight?
Mark Foyou frowned slightly on the sidelines: "Jim Calhoun, the old fox, is going to break Lu Yu's defense barrier."

The five people on the Huskies team are all players who average more than 10 points per game. That is to say, each of these five starters has the ability and means to score.

In comparison, the Gonzaga Bulldogs' five starters are basically distributed on the perimeter.

In this way, it was Gonzaga who suffered.

Albert Morin, who was standing not far from Lu Yu, said to Lu Yu with a mocking expression, "Hey, No. 10, don't let me fall down for a while."

Lu Yu was too lazy to pay attention to him.

The referee threw the ball into the air and the game officially began.

Since the Huskies used to have a 211-centimeter Wayne jump ball in the past, and now it was replaced by Sanders, he was still a little unaccustomed to it. As a result, the timing was not right, and he actually lost to Casey Green.

The corner of Lu Yu's mouth pursed slightly. Casey Green had never won a jump ball before, and he didn't know if it was luck or something recently. It seemed that he never lost a jump ball.

When Lu Yu settled into the bottom corner, Connecticut head coach Calhoun froze for a moment.

Albert Morin, who was with Lu Yu, was also stunned for a moment.

Caron Butler, who was on the line, was even more stunned.

Caron Butler and Albert Morin looked at each other, hesitating whether to change their eyes.

Just when they were hesitating, Blake Stepp had already started to accelerate his breakthrough. He quickly squeezed past Caron Butler, and Albert Morin could only recover.

It turned out that Blake Stepp didn't think about it at all, and passed it on to Lu Yu.

Maureen had no choice but to jump back, but the retracted leg was like the water splashed by a married girl. It was not that easy to retract it, so he just slapped and fell to the ground.

Lu Yu didn't look at him at all, raised his hand to make a three-pointer, and made a steady hit.

The audience burst into laughter, laughing in unison at Albert Morin, who was lying on the ground on the first goal of the game. Morin got up from the ground in dismay, and ran back to the backcourt without a word, without the arrogance of the opening game.

Huskies coach Calhoun shouted loudly on the sideline: "Curon, you and Albert change, the number 10 on the opposite side is playing the small forward position today."

Many fans at the scene obviously saw it.

I can't help but admire the coaches of the two teams. Basketball is like a marching formation on the battlefield. You have Zhang Liangji, and I have a bridge ladder. You don't know what I'm thinking about is sweat medicine, and I don't know you. Hidden in his waist is a murder knife.

Only when the two sides see the true seal on the court, will they try to see each other, revealing that pair of fangs that choose someone to devour.

Connecticut adjusted quickly, and after halftime, they handed the ball directly to Caron Butler.

Caron Butler's elbow position hit Lu Yu with his back.

To be honest, Caron Butler didn't expect to meet Lu Yu so soon. He thought that he had to fight until the bayonet became popular in the second half, give Lu Yu a love elbow, and let Lu Yu retire despite the difficulties. Ask yourself.

Now it seems impossible.

He was very cautious, so cautious that he didn't even plan to release the ball, because he knew that Lu Yu was a thief, and he would be kicked back by Lu Yu as soon as he was not sure about the ball.

He leaned his back against Lu Yu, then turned to face the frame, and kept trying.

Just when Lu Yu took a small step back, he suddenly pulled up to shoot, and the basketball went into the net.

"Fuck!"

Lu Yu knew that he would bully people with his height. Caron Butler was a few centimeters taller than him. Don't look at these centimeters. At the moment when a small loophole appeared in the defense, he couldn't reach the basketball.

"When I grow taller, let's see who dares to shoot on my head!"

The score was 3:2, and the Gonzaga team temporarily took the lead.

Dan Dickau passed the ball to Lu Yu, Lu Yu dribbled the ball in the high post, and waited for Blake Stepp to come to pick up the ball. After three consecutive eight rounds, it was replaced by Black Stepp who dribbled the ball in the high post, Zach Goode. Going up to the pick-and-roll, Blake Stepp took a step to Lu Yu's side, but he didn't make a breakthrough.

Dan DeCau stood at a 45-degree angle on the other side, and Kathy Green stood at the corner.

Dan Dicko ran to the free throw line, and Casey Green gave him a screen, but the screen quality was not high.

"Karon, what's your [-]-meter speed?" Lu Yu asked suddenly.

"A little over 12 seconds, what's wrong?" Caron Butler replied subconsciously.

Lu Yu smiled: "Then you may not be able to catch up with me."

Then Lu Yu took a step, and he started to run.

He's not running fast, and he's running from the corner to the rim.

Because he's on the weak side, he doesn't even have a screen teammate on this route.

Caron Butler frowned slightly. He didn't know why Lu Yu moved to the strong side. What was there already? Could it be that Blake Stepp would hoist the ball directly to the basket?
Not to mention that there are at least two Connecticut players on this passing route, even if they are hoisted in, can Lu Yu receive it?

Could it be that he is a decoration?
Tariq Brown followed Dan Dickau and saw the screen go straight in one step, and Dan Dickau had no chance to catch the ball.

At this time, Lu Yu just ran to the basket, and suddenly he accelerated and ran towards a 45-degree angle.

Casey Green, who was still covering Dan Dicko a second ago, instantly turned into a wall of people, blocking the pursuit of Caron Butler.

"It's over!"

This was the only thought after Caron Butler was blocked. He felt that this tactic was a bit familiar, and suddenly he suddenly remembered.

"Is it a positioning cover?!"
