NBA: I just want to play soy sauce, you let me win the championship

Chapter 140 So You Have a Strong Thug

"Bus, this way, this way!"

Lu Yuanzhi warmly greeted Battelle to enter the training hall of the Kings.

That's right, the mysterious person Lu Yuanzhi was looking for was Battelle.

Battelle signed with the Denver Nuggets as an undrafted free agent this year. He played 27 games in the NBA, averaging 15.1 minutes per game, 5.1 points and 3.6 rebounds per game. He is considered a relatively qualified blue-collar insider.

The Nuggets failed to make the playoffs this year, so in April, the bus returned home.

When defeating the Mavericks to advance to the Western Conference Finals, Bobby Jackson joked with Lu Yuanzhi that he might be the first Chinese to win an NBA championship, and Lu Yuanzhi thought of the bus.

Why!How could I forget this!
The first championship was a bus!

In the 02-03 season, Bus was traded to the Spurs.

According to anecdotal reports, although Bus failed to enter the Spurs playoff roster, he remained in the team, playing the role of O'Neal and giving special training to the Spurs.

Battelle is physically strong and full of strength, and can very well simulate O'Neal's offense at the basket.

Of course, Battle doesn't have O'Neal's offensive skills at the basket, nor O'Neal's flexible feet, so Battle is Battle, and he can never become O'Neal.

It is also rumored that the effect of special training is very good. Battelle simulated O'Neal's post-up singles during training, which gave Popovich a lot of inspiration and helped him find a way to use the aging David Robinson and the seriously injured Duncan. Guarded against O'Neal.

Lu Yuanzhi didn't know whether he could bring inspiration to Adelman after finding Battelle, but he still found the bus through his mutual agent Xia Song, and wanted to ask him to help.

Although Daba had a contract with the Nuggets, he also wanted to find multiple ways out and readily agreed to this opportunity.

The bus was in a hurry to deal with a lot of domestic affairs, and finally arrived in Sacramento after two games in the series.

Everyone ignored the pleasantries, and first let the Kings insiders come to "inspect the goods."

Divac stood behind the bus. He didn't have much impression of this inside player from China, and he didn't understand why Max traveled all the way to find him.

"The bus, hit it hard!" Lu Yuanzhi had been with the Kings for more than half a year, so of course he knew the habits of this group of people.

Don't look at the usual amiability and politeness, it is because Lu Yuanzhi's strength has been recognized by everyone, and he is regarded as one of his own.

But the strange man Lu Yuanzhi found was not his own!
At such a critical juncture in the Western Conference Finals, you can find a cat and a dog to come and practice with us?

No matter how face you Max Lu is, if your compatriot is not strong enough, then no wonder everyone is rude to him.

The bus originally wanted to be polite to Divac, and wanted to hold back a little bit, so as not to crash people as soon as it came up.

But seeing Lu Yuanzhi's serious expression, Daba knew that the young man was not joking.

His expression also became serious.

At that time, domestic fans did not know the real gold content of the NBA, and felt that NBA coaches would not employ people at all and would not give Chinese players a chance to play.

Just like the relationship between Big Zhi and LaFrentz, everyone feels that the Mavericks traded LaFrentz, who is similar to Big Zhi, and took up a lot of Big Zhi's playing time.

What a joke, is it LaFrentz who took up Big Zhi's playing time?
It's because Dazhi's defensive level has not reached NBA standards at all!
This is why the Mavericks traded Howard and Hardaway in exchange for LaFrentz and Van Exel in order to strengthen the ability to protect the basket inside.

Daba has been in the NBA for more than half a year, and his understanding of the NBA has undergone earth-shaking changes. He is not like the fans at that time who thought that his talent had been buried.

Buried!

It is indeed a flaw in the technology, and it cannot be the main force!

So the bus still admires Lu Yuanzhi, the little brother.

As a second-round pick, Lu Yuanzhi didn't show his talents in China, but he was able to gain a firm foothold in the Kings step by step, and he also played the main force in the second game against the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals.

This level is definitely above him.

Therefore, the bus obeyed Lu Yuanzhi's suggestion and used all its strength to hit Divac.

Divac didn't react and was knocked away immediately, jumping back slightly.

Adelman and the coaching staff's eyes lit up.

right!That's the strength!

O'Neill slammed into Divac with all his strength, which is also the effect.

Even the effect of this impact is better!
Pollard and Fonder Burke gasped below!
Damn it, where did you find such a monster?

This is your gang?

Both of them looked at Lu Yuanzhi with strange eyes.

No wonder you dared to challenge O'Neill, no wonder you dared to kneel Malone, so you guys still have such a powerful thug!

Lu Yuanzhi: Do you think buses are only powerful?He has learned wrestling since he was a child!If you really want to lock the bus and O'Neill in the octagonal cage, the bus will definitely come out!
Adelman quickly convened the coaching staff and re-formulated the training plan. He must make good use of the bus to imitate O'Neal and find more ways to deal with O'Neal.

Lu Yuanzhi saw that the first appearance of the bus had a good effect, so he no longer cared about the matter there.

After all, topping O'Neill is an insider's business, and it has nothing to do with him for the time being.

In addition to participating in team training, he is also constantly practicing finishing at the basket, three-pointers and free throws.

These are the only three scoring methods he has. Even if training can't add value, he must develop muscle memory to ensure that his movements will not change after intense physical confrontation.

While the Kings and the Lakers were actively preparing for Game [-], the league executives in New York held an emergency meeting to review the penalties for Game [-].

The result of the second game was satisfactory to everyone. The score was 1:1. Everything was on the right track.

However, everyone disagreed on the penalty scale for the third game.

On the one hand, I feel that we should increase our efforts to let the Kings win another game, which will create a sense of tension that the Lakers' lives are hanging by a thread, and can guarantee the ratings of the fourth game.

On the other hand, they felt that the help was a little too much. The Kings had a certain strength. After receiving help, they completely opened up the score at the beginning of the fourth quarter. This kind of big lead affected the ratings.

O'Neal only scored 6 free throws in the last game, which has already caused dissatisfaction among some fans. Many media also followed up and hyped this matter. The league should avoid the limelight and not interfere in the next game.

As long as after the fourth game, the two sides can score 2:2 and enter the battle of Tianwangshan, then the ratings for the next one will definitely be higher and higher.

In the end, the nonintervention side won a landslide victory.

In the next game, the league will not interfere with the progress of the game, and the Kings and Lakers will play on their own merits.

But those league executives sitting in the office never imagined that the shattering of O'Neal's myth in the second game would have any impact on the trend of the game.

At least the Kings players are no longer so afraid of O'Neal.

O'Neal?
Yes, he was good, but he was dunked by the rookie Max.

He will also be defeated by our Kings!

　The seventh day of Riwan, today 1/5, let's go!
