Basketball starts with breathing

Lu Yu was stunned for a moment.

Is it the sun?
He recruited Anji at the beginning, just because after he left, with Anji as the general manager in charge, the strength of the Bulls would never decline.

I didn't expect him to shove a bar in his own trade.

But if there is no opinion of his own, then it is not Angie.

In fact, the negotiations between Lu Yu and Mark Cuban have also reached a stalemate. Both are waiting for the other to be unable to bear it first. Lu Yu believes in his attractiveness to the market, while Mark Cuban is reluctant to bear Nowitzki.

Of course, Mark Cuban wasn't stupid enough to want both, he was just struggling.

The current five-star lineup has proved to be a failure. If Dirk Nowitzki can stay, and then pry two championship players from the Bulls, is it not much better than asking for a Lu Yu and hollowing out the family?

Of course, if Lu Yu could come and give a little less chips, he would not disagree.

The key is that Lu Yu's intention is obviously to change a few more powerful players to help the Bulls still have enough strength in the East.

I have to say that Lu Yu is affectionate and righteous, and even if he leaves the bull, he is still making plans for the bull.

Cuban likes players like that, but he doesn't want to be that victim.

Unfortunately, no one knows yet that the Bulls are actually Lu Yu's team.

Three-way transaction.

Lu Yu pondered for a while, and finally said with a smile: "As long as I can go to the west, going to the Sun is the same as going to the Mavericks, you can let Anji figure it out by himself, as long as you don't leave me in the east... I'm quite tired recently. Yes, how are you?"

"Not bad, I heard that you are going to play the USA men's basketball next game. I think you will have time to rest soon." Jessica made a joke and continued: "I think you are too tired this summer. , come back as soon as possible, I miss you."

"..." Lu Yu.

"Okay, don't bother you anymore, you can prepare well for the game with the US team. After the Olympic Games, we will have a lot of time to chat together."

"Huh?" Lu Yu was stunned.

Are you sure it's just a chat?
"Focus on the game, bye." Jessica hung up the phone.

Lu Yu rubbed his temples. Jessica is now more and more like a strong woman. In the future, there are so many women in this family, it will not be easy to manage.

Scarlett is a little better, she is busy filming every day, and now she is getting more and more popular.

As for Annie, she takes a lot less frequently.

But recently, she has fallen in love with traveling, and she wants to take Lu Yu to go with her.

Lu Yu has no time.

Theron and her mother went back to France for vacation.

Her mother kept urging her to marry Lu Yu, but she was helpless.

Not as good as Bellucci.

One hit.

The expected date of birth is in October, when the new season starts, it is estimated that she will give birth.

Lu Yu was also speechless. Bellucci and her ex-husband had been married for so long and had no children. Why did she become pregnant at one time? Did she ejaculate too accurately?
At this time, Lu Yu didn't know that the news about his transaction in the United States had stirred up the whole country.

Suns owner Jerry Colangelo said in an interview with the media that as long as they could get Lu Yu, they would be willing to hollow out the entire team. If they could not get Lu Yu, Jerry decided to sell the Suns.

Dude, you are struggling a bit.

However, in Lu Yu's previous life, Jerry sold the Suns in 2004 for 4.01 million to Robert Savile.

It was later the owner of the Suns who was forced to sell the team for the second time in the history of the league because of workplace bullying, misogyny, and racism.

The Mavericks offered a three-way deal with the Suns.

Now all they have to do is sit at a table, spread the chips and see who can get more.

Both the bull and the calf definitely want to slaughter the sun, but the sun is not fish on the chopping board, and they also have their own ideas.

No one knows when this negotiation will come to an end.

Harris sat in the room, smoking a cigarette, with a video recorder on the table in front of him, and the screen was full of clipped American basketball games.

In fact, he is familiar with the characteristics of each player in it, but this game is too difficult, so he has to watch the video over and over again, trying to find out how to beat his opponent.

The American team is different from the European and American teams. The European and American teams are better at teamwork. The Chinese men's basketball team can snipe their opponents in advance through tactical arrangements, just like China's victory over Spain, but the American team has no tactics at all. Their tactics are player's individual abilities.

So how to defend the opponent's singles has become a key issue.

Everyone knows that this US team is weak compared to previous US teams, especially after losing two games in the group stage, and those two losses were their two least efficient singles games, but thin. The dead camel is bigger than the horse, plus the weak individual defense ability of the Chinese players, especially the defensive ability of the flanks, it may not be so easy to reduce the singles efficiency of the American players.

Thinking of this, Harris took another deep breath.

The importance of this game is self-evident. If you win, you will be very happy. You may even win the medal in this Olympics. If you don’t get a medal, you will be in the semifinals. decision will become a fatal problem.

"Dong dong!"

The door of the room rang.

"Come in……"

Harris raised his head and found that it was Lu Yu who opened the door, "Why haven't you slept so late, the game is going to be played tomorrow, you have to keep your energy, if there is nothing important, please go back to rest as soon as possible."

Harris said solemnly.

Lu Yu glanced at the video on the screen and various tactical routes drawn on the scratch paper on Harris' desk. He pulled the stool next to him and sat down: "I want to communicate with you about something."

"What's the matter?" Harris asked.

Lu Yu smiled and said, "In the next game, I want to play point guard."

"What?" Harris was stunned, his brows immediately wrinkled: "What position you play is something I consider, I need to arrange it according to the situation, it is not that you can play any position you want, you are a A professional player, I think you should know more about the division of duties than I do."

What a stubborn old man.

Lu Yu coughed lightly, the smell of smoke in the room made him feel a little uncomfortable, "It is precisely because this is your responsibility that I came to discuss with you, I think you understand tomorrow's opponent better than me. Where is the attack point, their two guards Allen Iverson and Stephen Marbury have more offensive possession than everyone in the team, and I think Liu Wei will have a hard time facing their defense."

"I can arrange for you to switch positions, this is not the reason for you to play point guard." Harris refused mercilessly.

"Their coach is Larry Brown!" Lu Yu said, "Liu Wei plays the organization, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it through halftime."

"..."

Harris understands what Lu Yu means. Larry Brown is a well-known defensive coach. According to his experience, as long as he has watched the video of the Chinese men's basketball game, he will definitely press the defense on the backline. Fosson and Marbury organize the offense under their hands, and I am afraid that they must first consider whether they can dribble the ball.

"You keep talking..." Harris said.

Knowing that Harris was persuaded by him, Lu Yu stood up, took the paper and pen on Harris' desk, and wrote down a line of words.

"This is the record of the American men's basketball team in this group match. They played five games, three wins and two losses, and the last game was a big win against Angola. If Angola lost, they lost at the back line and were penetrated by the U.S. team. "

Harris nodded. He watched the game, and it was exactly as Lu Yu said.

"Then look at the other two games that the U.S. team won, one against Greece 77:71, and only six points, the other one against Australia 89:79 and ten points, and the difference between Australia and Australia is not big. Although Greece's strength is not weak, according to the past games, it will never lose to the US team by such a small number of points, there is only one reason, this year's US team has a problem."

Harris said coldly: "Everyone knows that the US team has problems, but no team dares to despise them."

"I didn't despise them." Lu Yu smiled: "On the contrary, I attach great importance to them, because in my opinion, they are much harder to play than Spain, because the Chinese team is most afraid of this kind of team with strong individual strength. , this is the principle of mutual restraint, our shortcomings are exactly what they are good at, but the game is like this, if you want to win, you must find a solution, right?"

"Do you have a solution?" Harris asked.

"Yes!" Lu Yu answered seriously.

Harris glanced at the score that Lu Yu wrote on the paper. He had studied countless times in these games, but he could never think of a way for the Chinese team to break the game. As Lu Yu said, the biggest weakness of the Chinese team is precisely the United States. What the team is best at.

"Go on." He put out the cigarette in the ashtray, which had been burned to the end.

"Okay, then let's continue to watch the two games that the US team lost." Lu Yu took out a piece of white paper again and drew on it: "In the first game lost to Puerto Rico, Arroyo scored 24 points. , Many people say that Puerto Rico caught the U.S. team by surprise, and some people say that the U.S. team lost the game because of its arrogance, but it’s not the case, there is only one reason for them to lose the game, their offensive and defensive running-in problems.

Lu Yu paused and continued: "The coach of the US team is Larry Brown, and he is best at defense, but look at this batch of players, Iverson, Marbury, Stoudemire, Jefferson , no one is a good defensive player, the only good defense is Duncan and Marion, so this group of American players Larry Brown can't be used, his defensive philosophy is for these players, no one can complete it well, the United States They also knew that the players they called were better at offense, so they brought in D'Antoni, but it was the key to their loss!"

"Oh?" Harris became interested.

"Is D'Antoni good at offense? Very good! However, his offense is not suitable for Marbury and Iverson, let alone Larry Brown and D'Antoni, two completely different coaches to tune a team, it is conceivable What kind of contradictions will arise, just like you and Yunas, if you and Yunas hadn't made concessions to each other, I think the Chinese team would be a mess now."

"Then why do you think the two of them won't give in to each other?"

"Could it be this kind of record to make concessions to each other?" Lu Yu said with a smile: "They didn't make concessions to each other, it can be seen from the way they attacked, and the two people on the defensive end didn't have a unified arrangement, and their defense depended on everything. Their great physicality...we can look at their loss to Lithuania again, 90:94, lost by four points, Sarunas Yasikevicius scored 28 points to lead Lithuania to victory, don't know Did you see it?"

Harris frowned. He tried to see something from the four games analyzed by Lu Yu. He has been analyzing the opponent's tactical videos, and he never thought that the four games could be analyzed together.

Suddenly, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"You mean..."

Lu Yu nodded: "Yes, the American men's basketball team won the game, relying on the combination of guards to attack and penetrate the opponent's defense, and the American men's basketball team lost the game, Iverson and Marbury were almost both beaten. It exploded, and the reason it was exploded was just because this is basketball under FIBA ​​rules..."

"And if we want to win, we start by blowing them up."

On August 8, the game between the Chinese team and the American team is the last game of the day.

Before that, there was an unexpected game. Puerto Rico beat Spain, which surprised all the fans. This year's Puerto Rico is really evil. I can't wait for the team that even Angola dared to lose. Two strong teams in Spain.

As a result, Puerto Rico took the lead in reaching the semi-finals.

The second game was between Lithuania and Italy. As a result, the Italian defender Basile had a convulsion in his hands, and a three-point rain directly sent Lithuania back to his hometown.

In the third game of Greece VS Argentina, Bissell finally became normal. The strength of Argentina was stronger than that of Greece. In the end, Argentina won 69:64.

But after the game, the fans thought, no, Argentina is third in Group A and Greece is second in Group B.

Is this another game under the gram?
That is to say, in the first three games of the quarter-finals, the teams with lower rankings won. Let’s look at the last game between China and the United States. After that, the Chinese team should not look at the first place in Group A. But everyone knows that the winner must be the US team, right?
Three teams have entered the semi-finals, namely: Puerto Rico, Italy, and Argentina.

If China loses, this Olympic men's basketball game will be the only quarterfinal in history to have all upsets.

There is a saying in playing mahjong, "Thousands of knives are cut, no Hu is the first one", now it seems that winning ahead is not a good thing...

Before the game, the players of both sides were interviewed on the spot when they entered the field.

A reporter rushed to Stoudemire and Marbury and asked, "Amare, Stephen, do you know you've been traded?"
