Basketball starts with breathing

Chapter 8 Tactical Manual
The bright and warm sunlight stood mottled on Lu Yu's face from the crack of the old locust tree outside the window.

In front of Lu Yu's bed, there was a pair of brand new basketball shoes.

There is a note next to the basketball shoes with Lu Chaoyang's handwriting on it.

"Just do your best, just do your best, if you can't, come back. Home will always be your safe haven."

Looking at the line of words in front of him, Lu Yu suddenly felt a little sad.

Going downstairs, I looked around, but I didn't find Lu Chaoyang's figure. On the table was breakfast, a few fried dough sticks, and a bowl of soy milk, all still warm, just like Lu Yu's heart at this moment.

After eating, Lu Yu didn't wait for Lu Chaoyang to come back.

He rode his little electric motorcycle and went to school. Today was his first day to report to the basketball team. He didn't want to be late as his opening statement.

When I got to the school, I went straight to the basketball arena, and before I walked into the arena, I heard the sound of "bang bang".

Lu Yu looked at the sound and found that it was Dan Dickau and several old players, including Blake Stepp. Although he was only a freshman, his strength has been recognized by the old players.

Lu Yu changed his shoes, picked up the basketball and went to practice alone under an unmanned basket.

Dan Dicko saw Lu Yu coming, and immediately walked towards him.

Lu Yu obviously also found that Dan Dicko and Blake Stepp were talking to him, but he didn't take it to heart.

Blake Stepp walked into the court, made a jumper from beyond the three-point line, and the basketball hollowed into the net, which immediately attracted praise from other players.

Knowing that Blake was demonstrating, Lu Yu just glanced at him, and instead of competing with him, he went to the basket to practice rebounding and shooting.

Dan Dicko originally wanted to come over to say hello, but he actually admired Lu Yu's strength, but when he saw Blake Stepp's provocation, he didn't say anything, which is very common in a basketball team.

Especially in the NCAA.

Every player here has the ambition to hit the NBA as long as his strength allows, so they are both teammates and competitors.

What's more, Lu Yu and Blake are both playing the second position.

Blake Stepp took another shot, and the basketball bounced off the hoop and landed in front of Lu Yu.

Blake Stepp exclaimed: "Hey, pick up the ball."

Lu Yu turned a deaf ear.

Blake Stepp shouted again. Seeing that Lu Yu didn't attack him at all, he was furious and walked over: "I told you to pick up the ball, didn't you hear?"

"Do we know each other?" Lu Yu blinked.

"us……"

Blake Stepp was suffocated. To say they knew each other, he and Lu Yu introduced themselves the day before yesterday. If they didn't know each other, Lu Yu probably didn't remember it.

"Don't think that when you enter the team, you must be the main force. Whoever is stronger in the basketball team has the right to speak." Blake Staples said sternly.

Lu Yu turned around slowly, stared at the other party and said, "So, let me pick up the ball when you win."

"Do you think I can't beat you?" Blake took a step back and bluffed when he saw him straight.

Seeing his guilty conscience, Lu Yu showed a smile in his eyes, turned around and continued to practice his board game.

Dan Dicko has been watching silently.

he knows,
In this game, Blake Stepp lost quite ugly, at least he was squeezed cleanly by Lu Yu in terms of momentum.

He couldn't help but sigh that Lu Yu did have his own personality charm, tough when he should be tough, indifference when he should be indifferent, and gentle when he should be gentle, just a few simple words, let everyone have something for Lu Yu a different impression.

For some reason, he suddenly remembered what Lu Yu said to him that day.

"I will be your opponent for a while. I can play against two seniors today, especially Senior Dan. I hope you won't show mercy for a while."

Depressed, this guy pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger.

……

After a while, head coach Mark Foyo and captain Casey Green walked in.

Seeing Mark Foyou, Lu Yu hugged the basketball in his arms.

Mark Foyo glanced at him: "Come on."

"coming."

The conversation between the two is meaningless.

"Casey, give Lu Yu the team's tactical manual. The NCAA game will officially start in two weeks. Before the game starts, you are responsible for making Lu Yu memorize all the tactics." Mark Foyou instructed.

Then he started training with the team members, ignoring Lu Yu.

Casey Green quickly brought the tactical manual and smiled at Lu Yu: "Lu, don't resent me, the coach asked me to do this..."

Lu Yu looked bewildered.

"Okay, now your training has officially started. Come on, brother, copy this tactical manual a hundred times."

With that, Kathy Green took out a pen and a notebook from behind.

Lu Yu was stunned for a while, but he didn't say anything, just took the things, then sat on the stool by the side of the court, and began to meticulously copy the tactical manual.

Casey Green was in charge of explaining to him.

Lu Yu copied a page, and Kathy Green explained it again.

On the court, Blake Stepp, who was training to run back and forth, saw Lu Yu reduced to the point of copying tactics, and couldn't help sneering: "I thought it was such a powerful character, but I didn't expect to even learn basic tactics from scratch."

Dan Dicko did not speak.

Because although Blake watched the two-on-two game that day, people who were not on the court couldn't appreciate the pressure of facing Lu Yu's defense.

Of course, Lu Yu's attack was equally fierce.

As for why the coach asked Lu Yu to transcribe the tactical manual, when he recalled the situation of the game that day, he gradually had some guesses in his heart.

sidelines,

Lu Yu pointed to the tactics in the tactical manual and asked puzzled: "Captain, as a defender, what should I do after shifting the ball to the weak side?"

"For example, you move the ball to Dan Dickau on the weak side, if you don't move, and Dan Dickau breaks and moves the ball back, you're stupid, your move should be, Dan Dickau breaks , you open up the space in the opposite direction, and he transfers the ball to you. At this time, if your defender does not help to defend Dan Dickau, he is a one-on-one opportunity. If your defender helps to defend, you are far away from the defense. People have a lot of distance, and the ball in your hands is a big open opportunity."

"Oh……"

Lu Yu was thoughtful.

"Captain, why does the fast break have to fall into a triangle formation? Isn't the faster the better?"

"The fast break is divided into many situations. The page you are looking at is that when there is a three-on-two situation on the court, the three players on the fast break must always maintain a triangle formation. If the defender rushes to the line and one side, The other side will be empty. If you defend both sides of the defense, the online players will be empty. You must not play three people in a line at the same time, so you will lose the offensive space. This is the placement choice for fast break space."

"Captain, what's up with the Flex offense..."

"..."

"Captain, diamond horns..."

"..."

Lu Yu asked and copied, and Casey Green took the trouble to explain, so Lu Yu's progress in copying the manual was not fast, and he only copied it a dozen times until the team's training was almost over.

Mark Foyo glanced at the time. It was almost noon.

The weather is very hot today, the sun outside the stadium shines through the window into the stadium, and every player is sweating profusely.

"Everyone, stop."

Mark Foyou clapped his hands: "Lu Yu, how are you learning? If there is no problem, run tactics with your teammates to get used to it."

Lu Yu stood up: "Okay, I'm fine."

At this time,

Among the players, Blake Stepp muttered dissatisfiedly: "Let's run tactics with this rookie, he can't do anything, isn't he wasting our time?"

Mark Foyo apparently heard it, his eyes widened: "Who is talking, stand up for me."

"Coach, it's me."

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Blake Stepp simply stood up: "I think it is a complete waste of our training time to train and run tactics with a player who has no tactical literacy. The time until the NCAA starts is tight, and we have absolutely no need for a player. The rookie sacrifices the chance to break in."

Mark Foyou's deep eyes narrowed: "So you don't want to?"

"I..." Blake Stepp dared not retort.

At this time,

Lu Yu suddenly said, "Coach, I think what Blake said makes sense."

Mark Foyo frowned slightly.

"But I always have to participate in the team's training."

Lu Yu looked at the closed dome of the arena, and secretly sighed that there was no sunlight at all, let alone water leakage, so he said: "Well, starting from today every tactical training, if I make mistakes, More than Blake, then as a penalty, all of my individual training sessions were done outside the next day."

The players of the team were all stunned.

You know, this season in Spokane, the outdoor is either rainy or rainy, or the ghost weather is deadly hot.

I'm afraid this kid Lu Yu has something wrong with his brain, right?
