I didn't want to fly away

Chapter 66 Archery on Horseback, Lucky Strike! (For collection, for follow-up)

Not long after the Clippers players started warming up, the Suns players also came to the Staples Center to practice early.

Obviously, the Suns players also want to achieve a satisfactory result this season.

I just didn't expect that the Clippers just played the opening game against the Lakers yesterday, and they would come to the court to warm up so early today.

This made the Suns players more actively involved in training and looking forward to the next game.

About two hours later, fans continued to enter the field.

Almost the same as yesterday, at a glance, there are no vacancies in sight.

After yesterday's battle, some Lakers fans even became interested in Lu Yi.

In the eyes of Lakers fans, Sterling is too stingy. Since he will trade Brand, who is also the No. [-] pick in order to save money, it is not impossible to trade Lu Yi in the future.

So is there a possibility that they can watch Lu Yi play in the Lakers when Kobe is not in the Lakers?
It's not just one person who has thought this way.

Closer to home, the game between the Clippers and the Suns will begin soon.

Kaman jumped the ball to help the Clippers get the ball first.

The Suns defended quickly, but with mediocre results.

The bearded man knew that Nash was not good at defense, so he went directly to Nash for singles.

In the past, Jason Richardson helped to make up for it, but today Richardson needs to stare at Lu Yi, so Nash can only be eaten alive by a small steel cannon like Davis.

brush--

Beard lived up to expectations and scored the first goal directly.

However, the Suns' seven-second offense is not in vain. Robin Lopez served from the baseline, and Nash passed the ball directly to the frontcourt after receiving the ball.

I saw that Stoudemire had already killed beyond the three-point line, and was about to pick up the explosives and rush to the basket.

Thornton returned to the defense quickly, and first pushed Stoudemire at the horn.

Randolph took the opportunity to stand still in the three-second zone, but Stoudemire couldn't get up, so he quickly handed the ball to Richardson.

In fact, the Suns played a fast break this time and played a three-line offense.

Richardson and Hill followed Stoudemire quickly, and Stoudemire, who was walking in the middle, was actually responsible for attracting firepower, so that Richardson and Hill, who were walking on the two wings, had more opportunities to cut in empty-handed.

But at this moment, Lu Yi suddenly came out, and Richardson had just joined the ball to prepare for a three-step dunk, and the ball was cut off by Lu Yi.

Richardson is a two-time slam dunk champion and has a good three-pointer. He is often regarded as a low-profile version of Carter.

Can score more than 20 points in several seasons, but in the last few seasons, he has been displaced, not favored by the team, and even wants to go to the Suns as a puzzle to win the championship?
It's still because of poor dribbling skills, which makes people feel that they only have physical talent and lack skills.

This is a bit like Wiggins later.

In the case of fast break without confrontation, Richardson's air cut is really fierce.

However, Lu Yi returned to the defense quickly, and the steals were indeed of a good level, highlighting his stability and ruthlessness.

Before Richardson could react, Lu Yi stole the fast break and rushed to the frontcourt.

Nash was very smart. In order to avoid being called a fast break by Lu Yi, he chased him head-on and fouled.

But Lu Yi reacted quickly, and directly rode a horse and shot a three-pointer.

"Unbelievable, hit a three-pointer with the board! Lady luck has come!"

"I really don't know if Lu Yi was accurate enough for the three-pointer, or if he was lucky this time! This time Lu Yi only made one free throw, but he made a three-pointer first!"

Nash has a high golf quotient, and Lu Yi can trick Nash into an extra penalty, which is not easy.

Of course, the most shocking thing about this wave was that Lu Yi made a few random shots and made a super long three-pointer.

With the extra penalty hit, Lu Yi scored 4 points and 1 steal in one round.

Originally, playing the sun had nothing to do with Lu Yi.

The Suns did not defend inside, and Kaman and Randolph had to take more shots.

But now it seems that there are still many opportunities for Lu Yi to break fast under the sun.

Whether it is Richardson or Hill, Lu Yi has a chance to go up and force him, anyway, he is idle anyway.

It is impossible for the Suns to stop the ball, which means that Lu Yi's frontal defense will not play a big role.

Soon, the sun launched an offensive again.

This time Nash didn't make a long pass, but just came to the top of the arc to play a pick-and-roll with Stoudemire.

In fact, Stoudemire opened up Nash before he had a good screen. This is a fake pick and roll.

But Nash passed the ball quickly, and the angle was very tricky.

When Stoudemire turned around and opened it, Nash had passed the ball by hitting the ground and passing the ball to Stoudemire.

Stoudemire started to charge, and Randolph was a little slower to react. In order not to pay for a foul so quickly, Randolph took the initiative to give up the three-second zone, and Stoudemire stepped forward and dunked.

After being beaten, Randolph also felt ashamed, and reached out to the bearded man for the ball.

The bearded man was going to drop the ball to the inside, and when he had a chance later, he would hand the ball to Lu Yilai.

Randolph wants the ball at this time, which is in line with the tactical play and the way the team distributes the ball.

Randolph did not let everyone down, he hit the back twice, squeezed into the basket, finished with a layup, and Stoudemire had nothing to do with Randolph.

But the Suns made another fast break, this time a long pass was passed to Richardson, Lu Yi defended, and the ball passed to Hill again.

Hill didn't give Thornton a chance to defend. He changed direction, threw him clean, and then went to the basket for a dunk.

Both elegant and violent.

The Suns scored two consecutive fast breaks, which made Dunleavy on the sidelines a little worried.

This kind of game rhythm is still somewhat harmful to the Clippers.

Dunleavy quickly yelled to remind the bearded man: "Slow down, don't worry, hit slowly."

Ever since, the bearded man really took his time, and when he got to the frontcourt, he was not in a hurry to lob the ball inside.

First, I went to find Nash's troubles, and then gave the ball to Lu Yi who was in the top arc, and asked Lu Yi to shoot another three-pointer to try his hand.

It also takes a certain amount of space to lob the ball inside. If Lu Yi can shoot three-pointers from the outside, there will be the space needed.

Speaking of the Suns playing zone defense, when Lu Yi received the ball, Richardson still wanted to help Nash make up the defense, but the bearded man suddenly passed the ball to Lu Yi.

When Lu Yi received the ball and Richardson made it up again, it was a beat slower.

Lu Yi took this opportunity to make a three-pointer.

brush--

Just like shooting training, Lu Yi, who shoots from the top of the arc, is invincible!
The three-pointer is a sharp weapon to open up the score. No matter how fast the Suns make fast breaks, they dare not let the Clippers easily open the three-pointer.

Next, Big Beard returned to the previously set tactics, fed the ball to the inside, and slowly played positional warfare.

When the Suns were attacking, the fast break was quite fierce, but the Clippers continued to use their height and strength to hit the inside line in positional warfare, and their shooting percentage was quite exaggerated.

Sun coach Alvin Gentry had to call a timeout, adjust the zone defense, and the strategy of defending the inside.

Waiting for the Clippers inside to receive the ball, the Suns inside really can't stand it.

Then we can only change the defensive strategy, interfere with the Clippers' inside offense by going around the front defense, and reduce the proportion of scoring at the basket.

However, with such an adjustment, Thornton, who had no sense of presence at first, suddenly used air cuts to continuously hit the basket.

The Suns' joint defense failed, and the point difference was opened up at once.
