Basketball starts with breathing

Chapter 129 Summer League Begins
The Bulls currently have only Bryce Drew and A.J. Guyton at point guard.

Bryce Drew is 188cm tall and weighs 84kg. The No. 1998 rookie in 16 has been in the league for several years.

Last season, he averaged 27.2 minutes, 6.3 points, 1.4 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game. The data is quite bad, but the victory is stable and there is nothing wrong.

A.J. Guyton was a second-round pick by the Bulls last year.

身高185cm，体重82公斤，场均上场时间19.1分钟，6.0分1.1篮板1.9助攻。

The two can be called the young dragons and phoenixes of the Bulls point guard.

With the crouching dragon and phoenix, Zhou Yu is naturally indispensable.

Zhou Yu is Amin who is sitting on the sidelines now.

The three of them didn't give way to each other compared to being bad. If it wasn't for Amin being too short, it wouldn't necessarily be who would come to play the summer league this time.

Cartwright wanted Lu Yu to play point guard.

Because the Bulls' point guard is really bad, and secondly, there is a three-point shooter like Fred Hoiberg on the shooting guard.

And Jamal Crawford on the bench can also complete the scoring task well in the second unit.

There is also Trenton Hassell, who is sitting on the sidelines now. Although he is a small forward, it is not impossible for him to play as a defensive vanguard to defend the opposing offensive scorer.

It can also form a backyard gate with Lu Yu.

Forget it, I'll give Floyd a copy of the video from the arena later and let him make a decision.

Cartwright decided not to worry about it.

He's just an assistant coach, and this kind of thing is still left to the head coach to get his hair trimmed. After all, his hair is too short to trim.

Immediately after the test, Cartwright called Floyd, who was still on vacation.

"Hey, Tim, I just finished the rookie test. Lu Yu is stronger than I thought. I'll send a copy of the test video to your email. I think you need to reconsider his usage."

"Okay, I'm right next to the computer, you can send it over and I'll take a look."

Floyd waited for a while, and the mailbox indicated that he had received the email. He opened the video and watched it for a while, and the whole person was silent.

It looks like this year's lineup is going to be disrupted.

……

On July 7, this year's Rocky Mountain Summer League officially began.

Some NBA teams host their own summer leagues, the more famous ones being the Pepsi Summer League hosted by the Orlando Magic and the Rocky Mountain League hosted by the Utah Jazz.

Every summer in the NBA is usually a period of vacation for the big-name stars and main players, but those free agents or rookies cannot rest at this time. In order to gain the trust of the team and impact the team's roster, they have to conduct some confrontation. training, and the NBA Summer League was born.

In the summer league, the main players and main substitutes of each team will not participate, and they will take all the time to rest.

Of course, fringe players like Amin are not included.

Players participating in the summer league can include the team's fringe players, free agents, NBDL players, and international players. These people have only one goal, which is to use the summer league to gain trust, not to be cut, and to strive for good next season. Performance.

The rest are the rookies of the year.

Kobe Bryant once participated in the summer league. When he first appeared on the stage of the summer league, Bryant contributed four walking errors. At that time, no one would have thought that this 18-year-old guy would become a match for Michael Jordan in the future. Players to compare.

不过那场比赛，科比贡献了27分2篮板，虽然投篮只有10投4中，但科比获得了20次罚球机会并命中了18球。

Thus began the blacksmith's career.

Rocky Mountain Summer League, also known as Salt Lake City Summer League, participated in the Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, Dallas Mavericks, Houston Rockets, Seattle SuperSonics, Golden State Warriors, Denver Nuggets, Memphis Grizzlies, Toronto Raptors .

The Chicago Bulls' first game was against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Originally, the attention of the summer league was not high, but because of the appearance of Lu Yu and the opponent being the Lakers, it attracted O'Neal, Kobe and the Jazz's two elders, Stockton and Malone.

Lu Yu played 27 minutes as the starting shooting guard and scored a strange statistic of 19 points and 17 assists, while the team's point guard Amin only had four assists.

The Bulls defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 104-97.

After the game, the reporter interviewed several NBA players who were present, and Kobe commented on Lu Yu: "He made too few shots, I think Lu Yu should make more shots, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get only 19 points. Looking forward to meeting Lu Yu in the regular season, just like when we were in New York bullfighting, don't worry, I will definitely throw the damn basketball in this time."

But Stockton and Kobe have a different view.

"Lu Yu is my junior brother. I once taught him how to be a qualified point guard. Obviously, he learned well. He sent 17 assists in this game. I admire him very much, but I think that this season I want to It should be a headache to meet such an opponent.”

On July 7, the Bulls faced the Golden State Warriors.

Lu Yu met old rivals Arenas and Jason Richardson, but this time Lu Yu still didn't give face to the two old acquaintances. No matter who of them came to defend Lu Yu, Lu Yu shot through them.

The score was 113:107, and Lu Yu scored 13 assists again.

Cartwright, who was in charge of leading this summer league, sighed helplessly: "I thought Lu Yu was here to play shooting guard, but he changed careers."

With 30 assists in two games, he is definitely a unique player in this summer league.

I really don't blame Lu Yu. Except for the two old acquaintances, the Warriors really have no one to guard against them, and it is impossible for the two old acquaintances to be on the court all the time. After all, it is the summer league, and the playing time must be evenly distributed. Passing the ball can get assists stats.

On July 7, the Bulls faced the Memphis Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies are strong this year, and their summer league defense ranks first among teams because they have a great defensive rookie in Sean Battier.

In this game, Lu Yu's playing time was poor, and he was basically rested by Cartwright. Cartwright's purpose of inspecting Lu Yu has been achieved, and Lu Yu also played two games in two consecutive days. Take a break and take a look at the real level of the other players.

In the end, the Bulls lost to the Grizzlies 87:92.

Lu Yu hugged Battier after the game and said to each other, "See you in the regular season!"

Although he lost the game, Cartwright felt that the loss was worth it.

This allowed him to see the true abilities of many players, such as Amin, who performed well and scored high, but was constantly targeted by opponents and defended against tens of thousands of people.

The Bulls certainly won't be as bad next season as they were the previous two years.

Therefore, such a player without defense is absolutely not allowed.

Amin was also proud of his high score in this game. He didn't know that the fate waiting for him was about to lose his job.

And Sean Lampley's level is not very good, only Renton Hassel makes him shine.

Hassell's defense is great, although not as clean as Shane Battier's defense, but whoever says dirty defense is not good defense, as long as the opponent's hit rate drops, it is good defense.

Lu Yu didn't care about the situation of other players.

After the game, he went back to the locker room to take a shower and prepare to go back to the hotel. Today's visit is in vain, and his breathing has not improved at all.

He does not require an increase of 1% every time. According to the intensity of the game, it is similar to the intensity of the NCAA regular season. For Lu Yu now, this intensity is used to increase his breathing technique. At most, he sees the progress bar moving backward. a little.

What a waste of time.

He changed his clothes and took out his mobile phone to see if Annie was calling, but who knew that he found a text message from Snoopy.

"Do you want to post the news of the Chinese men's basketball fight in the Asian Championships?"

　Ya Ya Ya, ask for collection, ask for recommendation ticket, ask for monthly pass, red duck!
