Basketball starts with breathing

Chapter 35 Don't bother
Saturday, October 12.

Today the team will have a game against the University of Washington Huskies. The Huskies are not part of the West Coast League. They belong to the Pacific Big Ten like the Arizona Wildcats.

NCAA teams generally play against other league teams in the first few games of the regular season, which can be regarded as warm-up games, but losses are also counted into the final score, so no team will take it lightly.

And the Washington Huskies are still in the Bob Bender era, and Lorenzo Romar has yet to become head coach.

It's not 2002 either, and Brandon Roy, Nate Robinson, and Wilcon Roy are all still hanging out in high school.

Not even Lu Fei...

All in all, this is always the underdog in the league, so weak that the team's leading star averaged less than ten points per game.

But despite this, Mark Foyou still sent the entire starting lineup, and the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, not to mention the basketball game that is easy to capsize.

The starting lineup is still Dan Dickau, Lu Yu, Mark Spink, Zach Good and Casey Green.

Lu Yu rubbed his hands together, this game will be the first game for him to make changes.

The warm-up is over and the game begins.

After the run-in of the first four games and the strengthening of tactical training in the past few days, Mark Foyou also saw the change in Lu Yu from the training, and it became more obvious on the field, and other teammates gradually found the feeling.

Lu Yu made another steal, Dan Dikao rushed forward desperately without looking back, the ball arrived, and the layup was easy.

Falling into position defense, Lu Yu locked the defender deadly, and the moment his teammates were breached, he could quickly help defend and destroy the opponent's attack.

In short, this game allowed Mark Foyo to see a different Lu Yu, as well as the contributions made by the other players after Lu Yu relieved his offense.

The coach of the University of Washington, Bob Bender, also tried to call a few timeouts and arranged for the players to try to open the offense from the flank. Unfortunately, the level of low-handed players is really limited, and it is impossible to break through Gonzaga's iron-blooded defense.

Before the second half started, the game was already spent.

It's not how high Gonzaga scored, but how low the University of Washington scored, scoring 23 points at halftime.

Gonzaga's regular offense was even slightly lower than when Lu Yu dominated the offense, but even so, he led Washington by 48 points with 23:25.

After a while, Mark Foyou replaced Lu Yu to rest.

Blake Stepp seemed very excited and kept jumping on the court like a spring man. In fact, being a substitute for Lu Yu also has an advantage, that is, since the four games, except for the more anxious fight with Arizona, the other games are basically the same. With a big lead, Lu Yu has more time to rest, so Blake Stepp has a lot of time off the bench.

The Washington Huskies shooting guard breathed a sigh of relief when Blake played.

In the half-time game, he scored two points just by picking up leaks. His face was really ugly, but every time he faced Lu Yu's defense, he couldn't get past it, and his shots were disturbed. There was really no good way.

Next, the two teams fought against each other, and the scene was quite lively.

Mark Foyo stood on the sidelines but frowned slightly.

He understands Blake Stepp's thinking. He wants to overwhelm opponents through offense and use his strong breakthrough ability to get rid of defenders and attack the rim, but Blake doesn't do much on the defensive end.

This style of play formed two completely different styles from when Lu Yu was on the court.

The team's tactical thinking must be unified, whether Lu Yu is present or not.

"Black, I can play whatever you want on the offensive end, but back on the defensive end, you gave me a life-defense defense, did you hear that?"

He shouted from the sidelines.

Blake Stepp froze in his heart and nodded quickly, he didn't want to be replaced by the coach as soon as he played.

He didn't understand why Lu Yu had a good hand in this game, why he only scored 11 points and rarely shot, and most of his strength was used on the defensive end. He even couldn't understand why the coach asked him to do like Lu Yu.

Anyway, they all won by big points. The first two wins against Green Bay and the Destroyer were not the same as big wins by [-] points?
Is there a difference?

In this regard, he is not as transparent as Casey Green thinks. As a center, Casey Green used to bear most of the defensive pressure on the team.

Because he is the center and the last defensive barrier of the team, when the defense of the outside teammates is not strong and the opponent enters the inside line, he needs to make a quick rotation.

The disadvantage of this is that every game may be a big win, but he is still very tired.

Today is very different. Lu Yu and Dan Dickau formed a shackle on the outside, so that the opponent didn't have much chance to hit the basket. Don't look at the same win by [-] to [-] points, this kind of game is easier to win.

The players' data not only did not drop due to their focus on defense, but instead increased slightly.

From another point of view, as long as the previous opponents lock Lu Yu, it may be difficult for Gonzaga to win the game, because Lu Yu is a sharp knife of Gonzaga.

But now Lu Yu is hidden in the scabbard. On the surface, Lu Yu will only be regarded as a defensive gate. When the two sides grind their defense to the last moment, Lu Yu's sword is unsheathed, which is the real sharp-edged display. .

In the end, the Washington Huskies raised the white flag and replaced all the main players, and Mark Foyou was relieved and replaced with a full bench lineup.

The Gonzaga Bulldogs won by a big margin.

The cheers in the arena made Lu Yu laugh, and it seemed that the first game after the change was good.

"Win, I got 23 points!"

Blake Stepp roared in excitement.

"What's wrong with this guy? Why are you so excited today? Did you take the wrong medicine?" Dan Dicko asked with a confused expression.

"I don't know either." Zach Good shook his head.

Kathy Green said mysteriously: "He seems to be going after the coach's niece, the girl who gave Lu Yushui that day, Jessica Alba."

Dan Dicko frowned, what does this have to do with him scoring 23 points?
"He doesn't know where he heard that Jessica Alba's criteria for looking for a boyfriend is that he can enter the NBA. He is worrying about whether he can enter the NBA or not, if he can get such high scores in every game. , basically entering the NBA is a foregone conclusion, can he not be excited?"

"Should I persuade him to..."

Dan Dicko looked at Lu Yu who was not far away with a little worry.

As long as the eyes are not blind, it can be seen that Jessica Alba is interested in Lu Yu, but Blake, the second fool, has bad eyes.

No, he's out of his mind.

Casey Green shook his head: "No, if he wants to chase, let him chase him. What he chases is his fate. If he can't catch up, he is not capable. As for Lu Yu... don't you think he didn't see it?"

The players got on the bus back to school, the moon was bright and the leaves on the branches swayed gently in the breeze.

"Lu, let's go to training." Blake Stepp said to Lu Yu after getting out of the car.

"Ok?"

"I think after training with you, my offensive level has improved a lot. I scored 23 points today." Blake Stepp said proudly: "I will continue to train with you, so that I can keep improving until I have One day I can make it to the NBA, but I feel like with the state I am today, I'm afraid you won't be able to guard me."

Lu Yu was stunned, thoughtful.

Especially the last sentence, no matter how you look at it, it seems like bragging.

Suddenly, his eyes saw Jessica Alba standing not far away, and he suddenly understood that Blake Stepp, a licking dog, was pulling the rest of the water in order to set off himself.

"No." Lu Yu refused without hesitation.

"Why?" Blake Stepp asked reluctantly.

Lu Yu glanced at him sideways, and said leisurely, "Don't bother, no matter how hard you practice, you are my substitute."

Blake Stepp: "..."

bastard!shut up!
