Basketball starts with breathing

Don't look at the bandwagon this season, but Lu Yu knows that they are all silver-like pewter heads - they are not worth it.

Let's talk about the Mavericks.

Last season, the Dallas Mavericks officially entered the championship. Under the leadership of the "troika" composed of Nowitzki, Nash and Finley, they tied with the Spurs with a league-best 60 wins and 22 losses. The third-ranked record in the division ended the regular season and finally reached the Western Conference finals.

If it wasn't for the fact that the main player Dirk Nowitzki suffered a knee injury in G3 of the series, the outcome between them and the Spurs is still unknown, and the Spurs who finally reached the finals lost to the Bulls.

Thus cast the miracle of the Bulls 77 wins.

The performance of the Mavericks also gave the owner Mark Cuban a boost. In the following season, on the basis of the "troika", he introduced two stars to the team - already three in the team. Star forward Antoine Walker and Antoine Jamison, who averaged 22+7 per game the previous season, have five players who can average 20+ per game and are at their peak!

The Mavericks, who formed a five-star lineup, became one of the deepest teams in the league.

It is worth mentioning that the salary cap of the league this year is $4384 million, while the total salary of the Mavericks this season is as high as more than 7900 million.

At this time, the West is also a group of heroes. In addition to the Spurs who won the Western Conference finals last year, there is also the Lakers who have just formed F4. They won Cassell, Sprewell's Timberwolves and ranked the top two in the West for the previous two consecutive seasons. The Kings at their peak, plus the Mavericks, have five teams in the West at this point in contention—meaning at least one team will be out in the first round.

However, no one would have thought that in Lu Yu's previous life, the team that was eliminated in the first round was actually the five-star Dallas Mavericks.

As far as reinforcement is concerned, the Mavericks are obviously stronger than the Lakers and the Timberwolves. Although the Lakers form an F4, Payton and Malone are almost at retirement age, and the Timberwolves are not much different. The "madman" and "alien" "All over 33 years old and on the verge of retiring at the time.

Walker and Jamison are in their prime, and both of them had a high-profile performance last season. Walker averaged 20.1 points, 7.2 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.5 steals per game, while Jamison scored 51 points in two consecutive games.

However, this is a Mavericks who can only attack. They have no one available at the center position. They may have to push Wang Zhizhi or Nowitzki to the [-]th position. In this way, the defense and rim protection in the penalty area are , is even weaker.

Lu Yu felt that it was not a good thing for a team to have two main players with the same name. Two Antoines would inevitably misunderstand when arranging tactics.

The five-star calf is nothing to be afraid of, and the Timberwolves of the Big Three are also a parallel importer.

As I just said, the madman Sprewell and Cassell are both over 33 years old. They are getting old when they are old. The key is that they were not as dominant as the Lakers' Karl Malone and Glove Payton when they were young.

So for the Bulls, the biggest threat in the West this season is still the Lakers.

And Lu Yu knows that this season's Lakers are more difficult than his previous life. At least the Eagle County incident that should have happened in July this year did not happen. Because of the pressure brought by Lu Yu, Kobe was immersed in training all summer. .

Without the impact of the Eagle County incident, the Lakers will be even more difficult this season.

On October 10, before the opening game, the Bulls held a championship ring presentation ceremony. The championship ring they received was mediocre, without the luxury in Lu Yu's memory.

I thought it was a duel between sparks and the earth, but the Lakers didn't plan to send the four kings at all. They only played together for the first 5 minutes, and then they were taken apart to lead the team in turn.

Zen Master Jackson is not in a hurry with the Bulls in the opener to a showdown.

It doesn't even matter if the entire regular season is lost to the Bulls, it can still make the Bulls unable to figure out their true strength, regardless of a win or loss in the regular season, Jackson has always been so confident.

The Lakers have the confidence to enter the playoffs and the finals, and the opponents in the finals are likely to be the Bulls.

The Bulls have no secrets for Zen Master, so he will make the Lakers mysterious.

Only when you are in the dark can you catch the bull by surprise.

The current Lakers have not completely run in. If the entire main lineup loses, it will be a big blow to the confidence of the team, so just let the water go. Even if they lose, the players will still think in their hearts, we just let the water go.

Jackson knew that the Lakers had a big problem, and that was age.

Karl Malone and Payton are far less powerful than when they were at their peak, so how to use them, how long to use them, and how to match the lineup is what he cares most about.

And pondering these things, the Bulls are clearly not a suitable match.

In the final 109 to 83, the Bulls easily got off to a good start. Five of the team scored in double figures, and three of them scored 20+.

Although O'Neal is still dominant in the interior, he also knows that the Bulls are not incapable of restraining themselves, so after playing for a while, he listened to Zen Master's words and went to rest.

Lu Yu can be both inside and out. Every time Kobe plays against him on the perimeter, he will be amazed at how fast Lu Yu has improved. In the NCAA Lu Yu, they once played against each other. At that time, Lu Yu was not his opponent. .

Lu Yu played in the NBA in his first year, but couldn't defend against Kobe Bryant. In the finals, the Lakers won the championship. As a shooting guard, Lu Yu, in the matchup with Kobe, can only say that he won by stats and lost. Contest.

Since then, Kobe has felt the threat of Lu Yu.

The two were both friends and opponents. When he felt threatened, Kobe began to train hard.

In the second year of Lu Yu playing in the NBA, Kobe suddenly felt that it became difficult for him to defend Lu Yu, and Lu Yu's ability to lead the team improved rapidly, which made Kobe, who has always been the second runner-up of the team for thousands of years, very envious.

He also wants to prove his ability to lead the team, but unfortunately there is still O'Neal in the team.

This season, Kobe did not meet Lu Yu in the finals, the Lakers were out, and Lu Yu won the championship. Kobe knew that he was not as good as Lu Yu this season.

So this summer, he trained hard.

He just thought that he could win against Lu Yu this season, but he suddenly realized that he seemed to have lost again. When he was on the perimeter, his defense had a very bad effect on limiting Lu Yu. He didn't know if Lu Yu would defend himself or not. The same feeling, because Lu Yu never guarded against him.

Lu Yu seems to have become "not three or four" this season.

The "no three no four" mentioned here is not about Lu Yu's character, but Lu Yu's playing position. Sometimes Lu Yu is in the small forward position, and sometimes he entangles with Karl Malone in the interior. .

Lu Yu is playing a power forward?
When Lu Yu was defending Malone on the inside, he felt the power of terror on the inside, and the sharp pain in his chest made him excited.

Yes, it is excitement.

Don't worry, he's not a masochist, just because in the confrontation with Malone, he found that the Breath of the Rock was growing.

Although it will be a little difficult to defend Malone now, Lu Yu knows that as long as he is improving, then Malone will always be beaten by him in the future.

In November, the Bulls won the Eagles, Bucks, Rockets, Magic, 11ers and other opponents one after another.

Whether it's McGrady or Iverson, they found that this season's Lu Yu is different. Last season, Lu Yu's playing small forward had already made them suffer, but this season's Lu Yu often appeared in the position of power forward. .

Although points are falling and assists are also falling, the Bulls' overall defensive efficiency has soared to the top of the league.

This is not only because the Bulls have not lost a game so far, and are willing to have the first record. All teams that encounter the Bulls clearly feel that the Bulls' inside line, whether on the defensive end or the offensive end, has become stronger.

November 11, Singles Day.

Well, there is no festival at this time, but on this day, Lu Yu made Carmelo Anthony feel the sadness of a singles man.

Carmelo Anthony is the proud son of heaven, attacking a kaleidoscope, his physical quality exploded.

As a [-]-position player, he often rushes into the paint to fight opponents, much like Lu Yu's current style of play, but he is obviously much more immature than Lu Yu.

Before that, Anthony had scored his first 30+ points in his career with the Clippers.

Becomes the fourth youngest player in NBA history to score 30 points in a game.

In Lu Yu's previous life, he was the third youngest, but this time there was Lu Yu's name ahead of him, but he was really good. Lu Yu remembered that in the 2003-2004 season, he averaged 21.04 points, 2.77 assists and 6.07 rebounds, Anthony, who was better than LeBron James' first season data, was once favored by fans and the team, and it fully proved that Anthony's talent is extraordinary. The Nuggets have never won a championship, and Anthony has become Fulfilling their hopes, Anthony led the Nuggets, who had missed the playoffs for eight straight seasons, to the playoffs in his rookie season.

You know, James, who is known as the face of the league, has not made the playoffs for two consecutive years.

It wasn't until he was 21 that James didn't get a taste of the playoffs.

What's even more outrageous is that Anthony is in the west and James is in the east. To say something Zhan Mi doesn't like to hear, Anthony may really be stronger than James when he is young.

Without Lu Yu, Anthony would probably be one of the most powerful newcomers in recent years.

It's a pity that he met Lu Yu, and the arrogant and arrogant him suddenly knew the difference.

Lu Yu played for 32 minutes and scored a triple-double of 19 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists, leading the Bulls to easily pass the Nuggets and allowing Anthony to score only 11 points, almost not breaking single digits.

It was Lu Yu who always defended Anthony.

Anthony seemed to be seen through by Lu Yu in every action, but he was actually blocked by Lu Yu twice, and his shooting percentage was only 27%. You must know that before this, he always felt that he was the next Lu Yu.

The Bulls beat the Celtics on November 11, and then welcomed the Timberwolves with the Big Three in a road game the next day.

After losing the first round last season, Garnett said what was on his mind: "With eight free agents on the team, we really don't know the future."

It seems that Garnett's departure from the Timberwolves has entered the countdown.

But just this summer, the Timberwolves completed two player transactions in succession, and Sprewell and Cassell came together with Garnett.

The "Wolf King" who received strong support also renewed his contract with the team for five years.

Three hearts that are also beating for the championship are linked together.

The "three-headed monster" of the Timberwolves, one deep, one wild, and one grotesque and weird character, has led to the pain of running-in.Everyone knows that the Timberwolves are Garnett's team, but Cassell and Sprewell are both personal players who are not easy to serve, and they are both veteran stars who have been the core or even the boss of the team, "Alien "Man" wears two championship rings on his fingers, and "Madman" also has Finals experience.

At the beginning of October, the Timberwolves' new season media meeting day, Sprewell was absent for no reason, causing a lot of speculation in the media.

Just arrived in Minneapolis, Sprewell is not afraid to offend the fans of the Timberwolves, openly said that New York is still his favorite.

For Cassell, the NBA game seems to be a "speaking" contest, and his big mouth is completely unobstructed.

Three people who are not familiar with each other are gradually getting familiar with, getting used to and accepting each other. Coupled with the successive injuries of Olowokandi, Szczerbiak and Hudson, the Timberwolves are only 4 wins and 4 losses in the preseason, and the regular season is over. Only 17 wins and 9 losses in the first 8 games.

But Lu Yu knew that this was the most beautiful Timberwolves.

If it wasn't for the Lakers F4, if they weren't in the West, if Cassell wasn't injured.

No ifs, because these are all part of the game.

The current Timberwolves are still in the running-in stage, so it is still very difficult for them to win the Bulls, but Lu Yu played for 40 minutes in this game. He enjoys the matchup with the wolf king Garnett. The ultimate wolf king!

Garnett is one of the most comprehensive and excellent players in the league. He can rebound, block, pass and score. He is recognized by the league as an all-around superman.

The former legendary star, Kevin McHale, then vice president of the Wolves, commented on Garnett: "He is never satisfied with his performance, and always asks himself to be better."

In Lu Yu's previous life this season, Garnett has made further progress by leaps and bounds, not only in terms of current technical statistics, but averaged 24.2 points, 13.9 rebounds, and 2.2 blocks per game. The three main technical indicators are all career highs. , but more in his maturity, charisma and understanding of the game.

His footwork is getting more and more agile, and his defense and formation are getting better and better.

Garnett has a better understanding of the game, a better understanding of what does and doesn't work.

At the end of the season, Garnett was the coveted MVP and was named to the Double First Team.

Lu Yu suddenly felt that he was very happy to be able to play in this era. When he was playing shooting guard, he was able to meet the "four point guards". Now he is playing "no three, no four", and he can play with Cameron at the three position. · Anthony, LeBron James these rising stars duel, playing the [-] position, can collide with some of the most famous power forwards in NBA history.

All-time No. [-] ex, Duncan.

German tank, Nowitzki.

Wolf King, Garnett.

不三不四的陆余充满了幸福感，所以109比98击败森林狼的同时，自己拿到了25分11个篮板10次助攻5次抢断3次盖帽的数据，填满数据栏。

The alliance exclaimed, what is Lu Yu going to do?
Play all five positions and summon the dragon?
