I didn't want to fly away

Chapter 73 Superstar's shot selection!Be yourself! (first update)
"Lu Yi, don't worry, the team needs your outside offensive ability.

Perhaps this example is inappropriate, but I still want to say that you should be like Kobe.

Unreasonable shot selection, but still can be scored by personal ability.

Let the opponent fear you and try to limit you in various ways. This is what you should do, and this is what the team needs. "

Dunleavy can see that the Clippers played evenly against tank teams like the Grizzlies in the first quarter because Lu Yi played too reasonably.

How can the Clippers suppress their opponents if Lu Yi doesn't score more than ten or twenty points in a single quarter?

Dunleavy knew very well how the Clippers won the game before. It was either by others or by Lu Yi's almost crazy shots from the outside, with an incredible three-point shooting rate.

It is true that the Grizzlies' defense against Lu Yi is the most rigorous and complete in the past few regular seasons.

However, the Clippers do not have the ability to use Lu Yi to attract defenses, quickly tear apart the Grizzlies' defensive system, and break through weak points to quickly score and suppress the Grizzlies.

Then, we must go back and let Lu Yi hold the ball again.

Even if Lu Yi's shooting percentage will decline in the future, Lu Yi still needs to make one more shot.

"The audience watching the game must also hope that you can score more goals." Dunleavy continued to persuade.

To teach ordinary players, most NBA head coaches will emphasize reasonable play and team basketball, but coaching superstar players, even super giants, will not do so.

A superstar is a man who can turn decay into a miracle by relying on his personal strength.

They are people who can create miracles, and they shouldn't be taught by a mediocre head coach.

They have their own way of playing, their own way of winning.

Dunleavy knew very well that he didn't have much qualifications to coach Lu Yi, but needed to rely on Lu Yi's strength to regain his chance of reaching the playoffs.

Now seeing Lu Yi playing in such a team and reasonable way, Dunleavy is both happy and worried.

A well-behaved player cannot become a superstar.

Superstars are capable of what others cannot!Able to make incredible shots at critical moments.

Therefore, unreasonable shot selection is also part of the superstar's shot selection.

Although it is still the regular season, the Clippers' priority is to win more regular seasons.

But what if the Clippers can really make the playoffs this season?

Lu Yi, who is always looking for reasonable shots during the regular season, can really transform into a superstar in the playoffs?
Why is it considered a miracle for the Pistons to win the championship?
It is because a team without a superstar is destined to not go far in the playoffs, let alone win the championship.

But the Pistons did it, and they defeated the Lakers F4, a super team with two super giants and two superstars.

Taking a step back, the Clippers do not have the All-Star configuration of the Pistons, and Dunleavy is not a well-known coach like Larry Brown. The Clippers want to go further in the playoffs this season.

It is necessary to spend some time in the regular season, or even sacrifice some games, to help Lu Yi develop the ability to play big stars and play key shots.

Dunleavy believes that Lu Yi himself has such potential, and even such ability.

But now Lu Yi has fallen into the misunderstanding of helping the team win and putting the record first.

Ever since, Dunleavy reminded Lu Yi early and pointed out the right direction for Lu Yi to lead the team.

As for Lu Yi, he was still thinking that whenever the Grizzlies came off the bench, he would abuse the food to score points.

Now that Dun Levy took the initiative to ask him to come forward, Lu Yi naturally did his part.

Originally, this was the home court of the Clippers, and the fans at the scene came to watch him play.

Lu Yi quickly realized that the head of the star really needs Kobe a little bit.

Not only to attract fans, but also to inject more confidence and belief in winning to the team that is in a state of confusion.

After the intermission, the game continued in the second quarter.

Mayo served from the baseline, the backup point guard was about to get Marcus Williams, and Louie suddenly came in front of Williams and pressed the defense.

Without hesitation, Williams immediately passed the ball back to Mayo, and Lu Yi then switched to Mayo again.

The defensive effect of doing this is not very great, but the Clippers saw that Lu Yi was so active in defense, and their enthusiasm suddenly rose.

What is a team leader?
This is called team leader!
Qianlong wrote [-] poems in his life, how many of them have been handed down for later generations?
Even if Lu Yi scores [-] points in the NBA, what's the point if most of them are pointless?

Both offense and defense are the abilities of players.

As a team leader, he must not only help the team open the situation on the offensive end, but also show enough enthusiasm on the defensive end.

This time Lu Yi's pressing defense seems meaningless, but it has a very obvious effect on improving the team's overall spirit.

Just like Kobe, he can obviously save his physical strength on the offensive end, but Kobe is an outside star who will actively lead and defend opponents.

Perhaps it was also the defensive end that consumed a lot of physical energy, resulting in Kobe's scoring efficiency being relatively mediocre. Even at his peak, he could not be called efficient.

However, no one can underestimate the value of Kobe's offensive and defensive ends and the role Kobe brought to the team.

In the next second quarter, if Lu Yi wants to show his attitude on the offensive end, he must start from the defensive end and be himself.

Having said that, the Grizzlies were slightly delayed by Lu Yi's pressing defense and switching defenses.

Mayo originally wanted to run and find a chance to make a shot, but now he has to face Lu Yi with the ball.

However, the opportunity for singles has come out, Mayo feels that he can't show weakness, and Lu Yi is leading the defense. Is he a big deal for one-on-one?
Mayo continued to dribble the ball under the crotch rhythm, and Lu Yi moved back slightly to avoid being accelerated by Mayo.

However, in the middle of the May Olympics, Lu Yi suddenly reached out to steal the ball. While his arm was slightly in contact with Mayo's body, Mayo lacked strength and dribbled unstable, so Lu Yi reached out and destroyed the dribble.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Yi picked up the ball at a high speed, and went straight to the frontcourt.

Williams reacted quickly to Mayo, and immediately returned to defense, attempting to foul Lu Yi.

Lu Yi reacted quickly, and immediately stopped and shot a super long three-pointer.

After a hasty shot, the ball missed.

But fouls followed, and Lu Yi relied on his golf intelligence to win three free throws.

brush--

brush--

brush--

Three hollow free throws into the net allowed the Clippers to instantly open the score to 4 points.

If the Grizzlies can't score next, then the Clippers will have the opportunity to widen the point difference to 5 points.

At the same time, Lu Yi's personal score has reached 8 points.

Everyone knows that in one or two minutes at the latest, Lu Yi will score in double figures.

Even an All-Star player cannot guarantee that he will score in double figures in the first half of every game.

But everyone at the scene knew that Lu Yi had such a stable output ability!

"Lu Yi finally became himself!" Dunleavy expressed his relief.

In the NCAA, because of the lack of strength of his teammates, Lu Yi withstood the pressure and played alone.

In the NBA, no matter how bad your teammates are, you are still an NBA player. As long as you give football rights, everyone has the ability to score in double figures.

There is nothing wrong with Lu Yi choosing to trust his teammates.

But Lu Yi's team style of play is good for the team, but not for Lu Yi himself.

The ball still needs to be hit from one's own hands, that is strength.

Players who can't get the ball, or dare not play with the ball in their hands, what are the stars?

Dunleavy believes that Lu Yi may not have touched the rookie wall, but he has broken a bottleneck at this moment.

Lui was himself again, playing the way he used to win in the NCAA.

Even under the current rules, the press defense does not seem to be very useful.
