NBA: Starting with the Devil’s Eyes

Dec. 3, Rockets home, Compaq Center.

The Rockets fans were all seated.

"Lu Yu, a rookie, has been too strong recently."

"Yes, he won the award of the month. This is still the NBA's worst player, who can win the first month's award in his first rookie season! "

"Well, the last time he won the Week award, it was the same."

"I don't know if we can win today's game."

"Sure, believe Hakim, Hakim will definitely blow up their inside line!"

"The Lakers are not strong inside."

Both sides announced their starting lineups.

Rockets.

Center, Olajuwon. 213 cm.

Power forward, Otis Thorpe. 206 cm.

Small forward, Horry. 206 cm.

Shooting guard, Maxwell. 193 cm.

Point guard, Kenny Smith. 191 cm.

Olajuwon and Campbell jumped the ball and easily got the ball for the team to attack for the first time.

Kenny Smith then advanced with the ball.

As soon as he was outside the three-point line, Smith fed Olajuwon in the low post.

After Olajuwon received the basketball, he began to play back-to-back singles.

He played Campbell, it was really too easy.

On the foot, directly crush Campbell.

Easy hook to score.

2 to 0.

On the Lakers' side, Lu Yu organized an attack after holding the ball over half court.

Clear the side and let Worthy single Horry.

When Horry defended Worthy, the chassis was a little unstable

Worthy glanced at Horry suspiciously, this young man, why does he look a little lacking in qi, commonly known as kidney deficiency?

After he got off the ball, he hit Horry and immediately broke through to the basket.

Taking advantage of Olajuwon's defense, he made a layup and scored.

At this time, Lu Yu and the madman glanced at each other.

Yesterday evening, Horry was cool and cool~

The rich guy came from Los Angeles, so naturally he wanted to give the poor guy a little benefit.

They took Horry to a nightclub.

After Horry arrived at the nightclub, he almost didn't touch the young lady to death.

In the end, the young lady couldn't stand it anymore, and said to Horry: "Big brother, you can play games, and it's okay if you can't sing and sing." Don't touch it. "

When Horry heard this, he directly sent out an invitation to connect.

Then I went upstairs.

A few times a night, I don't know, anyway, Lu Yu felt that it was no less than 3 times.

As for him and the madman, they went straight back to the hotel.

The Lakers have a curfew rule.

Before 12 o'clock in the evening, you must be back at the hotel at 920, or you will be greeted with the wrath from Mike Dunleavy.

Neither Lu Yu nor Maniac had any intention of breaking the rules of the Lakers.

Therefore, today Horry looks indeed a bit empty.

"Robert, how many times did you hang out yesterday night?"

The madman asked beside Horry when he returned to the defense.

Horry whispered, "Five times." "

"Holy! Five times? How the hell can you get out of bed? "

The madman was startled when he heard this.

"I'm in good shape."

After Horry finished speaking, his legs suddenly went limp, and he almost fell.

When the madman saw it, he laughed and said, "Ah, yes, yes." "

"Indeed, you are in good physical condition! Look at your feet, don't let the air trip you over. "

The Lakers had another chance to attack.

Lu Yu called a tactic to the madman, and the madman began to run tactically.

This month, the Madman's tactical position in the Lakers is good.

He averaged 35 minutes per game, 44%+38% shooting, and averaged 15.7 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.8 steals per game.

This statistic is based on a rookie, and it has been very successful.

After the madman shook off Maxwell, who was defending himself, he caught the ball from beyond the three-point line and made a jumper.

Swish!

The ball goes in.

5 to 2.

On the Rockets' side, Olajuwon chose to hold the ball alone in the mid-range position this time.

Swing shot, suddenly get off the ball, followed by a turnaround jump that skimmed Campbell.

This step really lifted Campbell up and hammered it...

Olajuwon connected a basket and scored the basketball steadily.

Lu Yu went to the front court with the ball and looked at Kenny Smith, who was defending him.

One of the later members of the Turner TV commentary group is still fighting in the league.

Facing Smith's defense, Lu Yu let everyone pull away, and he had to hold the ball directly and play alone.

198 hit 191, it's simple.

Moreover, Smith was born as a shooter and has mediocre physical fitness.

"Bang... Bang..."

The basketball continued to beat on the floor, and Lu Yu burst out with his extremely fast first step.

In the blink of an eye, Kenny Smith was gone.

Then, go to the basket and kill.

Olajuwon immediately let go of Campbell and came over to Lu Yu to help defend.

Olajuwon this season, that's an absolute defensive giant!

Lu Yu remembers that Olajuwon was the winner of the Best Defensive Player award this season.

Currently, he is averaging 1.8 steals and 4.2 blocks per game.

4.2 blocks per game!

While juggling the team's offense, Olajuwon is also able to average 4.2 blocks per game.

This is already very perverted.

If you want to say that the center player has an offensive and defensive integration, it has to be Olajuwon!

Lu Yu saw Olajuwang coming over, and his eyes swept away.

The back of the head pass was flicked into the hands of James Worthy.

James Worthy catches the ball and shoots a jumper from mid-range.

And Robert Horry, he was indeed in a trance today.

Failed to give Worthy a distraction.

Worthy scored with a successful shot.

Halfway through the first quarter, the Lakers led the Rockets by five points, 17-12.

Among them, among the 17 points, James Worthy made 5 of 5 shots and scored 10 points alone.

Team Rocket called a timeout.

Head coach Tomjanovic looked at Robert Horry. 、

"Robert, I see that your face is not good, are you sick?"

Horry felt his empty waist.

There was also a violent panting, and he said, "Coach, I'm sorry, I'm really not feeling well." "

Tomjanovich also asked with concern: "Do you want to see a doctor?" "

"No, I just feel a little dizzy, I'll just rest." How dare Huo Li report his yesterday's incident to Tang Shuai.

So he could only lie that he was sick.

"Then Karl, you go and replace Robert."

Tang Shuai replaced the team's backup small forward, Carl Herrera.

"Okay."

Carl Herrera immediately got up.

He's got to seize this opportunity!

As a player from the University of Houston and the younger brother of the team's boss Olajuwon, Herrera very much wants to start.

Last season, the team's starting small forward was Booker Johnson, who left the team this season.

Herrera thinks that should be his starting small forward position?

But who would have thought that the Rockets selected Robert Horry with the 11th pick in the first round.

Pushed Horry to the starting position.

Herrera also carried a fruit basket to the old senior's house.

He said to Olajuwon: "Senior, I want to improve so much! "

Olajuwon said: "Then you have to take every opportunity to express yourself!" "

"If I get a chance to play with you, I'll take good care of you."

After all, it's from the University of Houston, so you still have to help.

Herrera is now riveting and trying to play well.

Find all the ways to get on the start!

On the Lakers' side. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!) ）

"Haha, Lu, you're so bad, look at it, Robert is about to be played bad by you."

The madman pointed to Horry on the bench on the other side.

When Danny Young heard this, he asked curiously, "What's going on?" Who did Lu Yu play badly?"

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" The madman patted Danny Young and said, "Don't spread rumors. "

"See Robert Horry?"

"See, isn't he your college classmate?" Danny Young nodded.

The madman whispered: "This kid was taken to a nightclub by Lu Yu yesterday,...... (500 words omitted here)"

After listening to what the madman said, Danny Yang immediately turned his head to look at Lu Yu.

"Lu, you still really know how to disintegrate the opponent's combat power!"

Lu Yu's eyes widened and said, "What's wrong with me?" I'm making the agee rich and rich. "

"Let the poor buddies also experience what it means to be drunk and gold-obsessed, am I doing it wrong?"

At this time, many people from the Lakers came around.

After hearing Lu Yu's words, Crow took the lead in shaking his head: "I think you did the right thing." "

"Lu, we'll play with the Suns in the next game. Why don't you try it too, how can you make Barkley like Horry? "

Worthy also said: "Good boy, you are seeking a wave of benefits for me." "

"I said, why is Horry's kid playing so poorly, the co-authorship problem is yours."

"Hehe, it's what I should do for the benefit of my family."

Lu Yu smiled: "But Clifford, it is probably not possible to ask Barkley out." "

"In the preseason, I made him miserable~"

Crowe spread his hands: "Okay then." "

After the timeout, the game resumed.

Herrera came back very positive.

This time, Olajuwon's low singles drew away Worthy's defense

Immediately passed the basketball to Herrera's hands.

After receiving the pass from the old senior, Herrera immediately rushed inside.

Come to the basket and make a layup.

"Smack!"

Crowe immediately came over and fanned the basketball directly.

On the Lakers' side, picking up the rebound ball was immediately a fast-break counterattack!

The 198+196 combination of Lu Yu and the madman.

Crushing the 191+193 combination on the Rockets' side, it's really a casual fast break.

Lu Yu turned around as he went, passing Kenny Smith, who was defending him.

When you get to the basket, you face Maxwell's defense.

Smash the basketball to the ground and when it bounces back.

Lu Yu's fingers snapped, and soon, the basketball was passed to the madman.

After the madman catches the ball, he glides and scores a dunk.

19 to 12.

It's another Rockets offensive opportunity.

Maxwell holds the ball and plays the maniac alone.

He is the Rockets' primary perimeter ball-handler.

After holding the ball in his hand and shaking continuously, he accelerated to the right side to break through.

The madman's footsteps were very steady, directly blocking Maxwell's breakthrough route.

At the same time, engage in physical confrontation with Maxwell.

The movement of his hands is not slow at all, reaching out and using his arm span to interfere with Maxwell's dribbling.

Since the end of the game against the Bulls, the Madmen scored 20 points on 8-of-12 shooting.

His style of play is getting more and more solid.

Every time you defend, you can give your opponent a lot of trouble.

This time, the madman directly blocked Maxwell's breakthrough.

At the same time, Worthy came over to help defend Maxwell.

Maxwell immediately threw the basketball into Herrera's hands.

As a result, Herrera's hand slipped when he received the ball, and the basketball went out of bounds.

"Shet!"

Herrera was a little embarrassed at this point.

Because since he came on the field, he has already contributed 2 turnovers...

One is blocked, one catches the ball out of bounds.

Olajuwon looked at his junior brother and sighed a little in his heart.

The last time Herrera came to see him with a fruit basket.

He's actually quite willing to carry Herrera.

However, that was before the start of the season, when Olajuwon had not yet teamed up with Horry.

Now, with the start of the season, Olajuwon and Horry have teamed up.

He felt more and more that he was a junior who couldn't pull Horry off the starting line-up at all.

Let's talk about Horry's shot.

Herrera: Not so good!

The ball he was blocked just now, if he had been replaced by Horry, he would have caught the ball and jumped directly on the spot.

There will be no more impact under the basket to send the cap.

Although he thought so in his heart, considering the relationship between the alumni, Olajuwon was not easy to say.

It's just a fact, and the talent is there.

Herrera was the 3rd pick in the second round, while Horry was the 11th pick in the first round.

The gap between them cannot be made up by relying on Herrera to send a fruit basket to Olajuwon~

The first quarter ended with the score of 36-25.

The Lakers lead the Rockets by 11 points.

Worthy scored 15 points in the first quarter of the game.

And it was 6-of-7 shooting, 3-of-3 free throws, and 15 points!

Super efficient!

After Herrera came on the field, he couldn't keep Worthy at bay.

Lu Yu didn't attack much by himself in the first quarter of the game, and was still obsessed with organizing the offense.

5 points, 5 assists and 2 steals in the first quarter.

The second quarter begins.

Lu Yu and the madman were still put on the field.

Mike Dunleavy uses the combination of Lu Yu + Madman, which is getting more and more convenient.

Seeing that the opponent was a small guard combination, he directly put Lu Yu and the madman on the field.

Use their defense and offense to directly crush the opposing small guard combination!

In the first quarter of the game, Olajuwon also cut down 10 points, 4 rebounds and 2 blocks.

That's not bad, but the Rockets trail by eight points.

Why?

It was because Lu Yu and the madman suppressed the outside offense of the Rockets.

Smith and Maxwell shot 3-of-10 from the field in the first quarter and scored 7 points together...

In the case that Lu Yu didn't attack much.

Naturally, the ball was given to Worthy and the madman.

Worthy scored 15 points in the first quarter.

The madman wasn't bad either, shooting 4 out of 7 and scoring 10 points.

During the break, Horry looked at the Lakers bench with a kidney on his face.

Some pale lips and teeth rattle.

Made, you two didn't enjoy myself after sending me to a nightclub yesterday?

That's how you calculated me!

Okay, I remember!

But......

Horry recalls last night.

Suddenly felt that if there was no competition, Lu Yu and they would take themselves again, they could also consider it~

"Hmmm! I have to get them to compensate me! "

"After a while, Christmas, or All-Star, I'll have to ask them to compensate me!".
