NBA: Starting with the Devil’s Eyes

May 10, 1993.

Great Western Forum Arena.

The Supersonics player is being interviewed before the series begins.

“Lu Yu won the MVP this year, he is the best player in the regular season this season, do you agree with this ~ statement?”

The reporter’s question is still quite sharp.

Directly to Gary Payton: “I believe everyone’s assessment, he has played really well this season. ”

“His performance is obvious to all. ”

Surprisingly, Gary Payton’s evaluation of Lu Yu turned out to be quite good!

When the reporter heard Gary Payton’s answer, it was indeed a little surprised, and he said:

“So how do you rate him winning the DPOY award?”

Hearing this aspect of defense, Payton’s eyes immediately changed.

“His defense is really strong, but I don’t think my defense is weak either!”

“You mean, you also have a chance to compete for the best defensive player?” the reporter asked.

“One day, it will!”

Payton’s answer was firm.

After hearing Peyton’s answer, the reporter continued to ask: “So, do you think you can limit Lu Yu’s play in this round of the series?”

Peyton nodded confidently and said, “I will do my best to limit Lu Yu’s play!”

“I’ll cause him some trouble!”

This season, Gary Payton averaged 13.5 points, 3.4 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 2.2 steals per game.

His strength on the defensive end is already beginning to appear.

Next, it is necessary to continue to strengthen the impression of those coaches through their own performance.

The Lakers are also being interviewed.

Lu Yu heard the reporters’ questions.

“Lu, how does it feel to get the MVP?”

“Lu, what do you want to say as the player who won the most regular season awards this year?”

“Riku…”

Lu Yu listened to the questions from the reporters and immediately said:

“Guys, guys, I think what we need to talk about now is the playoffs. ”

“It’s the playoffs, and the regular-season honor has nothing to do with me. ”

“These things, let’s leave it for the offseason, I’ll focus on the playoffs now!”

After hearing Lu Yu’s words.

Lakers head coach Mike Dunleavey nodded with great satisfaction.

Lu Yu did not get so many awards because of this.

And there is any complacency.

His performance is very solid!

This made Dunleavy very happy.

At this time, another reporter came to interview Mike Dunleavey.

After hearing the reporter’s inquiry, Mike Dunleavy immediately spoke up and said:

“I led the Lakers to a lot in the regular season…”

“It’s all from the players and the assistant coaches…”

Dunleavey, who was still lamenting that Lu Yu was not satisfied just now, seemed to be a little satisfied after the interview…

Looking at Dunleavey, who was gushing in an interview, the assistant coach of the Lakers was very helpless~

What about your robustness?

And at this time, the same performance as Dunlevi is a madman.

The madman said in front of the reporter’s camera:

“The combination of me and Lu Yu is the best guard line defense in the league. ”

“We’re going to chill all the defenders in this league. ”

“I have this confidence!”

……

After the interview, the Lakers went to warm up before the game.

Soon, the time came to half past seven.

The game starts right away.

Players from both sides announce the starting line-up.

Lakers.

Center, Campbell.

Power forward, Crowe.

Small forward, Worthy.

Shooting guard, madman.

Point guard, Lu Yu.

Supersonic.

Center, Michael Cage. 206 cm.

Power forward, Sean Kamp. 208 cm.

Small forward, Derek McKay. 206 cm.

Shooting guard, Ricky Pierce. 193 cm.

Point guard, Gary Payton. 193 cm.

Before the game began, Peyton looked at Lu Yu with a challenging look.

Although Lu Yu’s various data are almost twice as many as Peyton’s.

However, the challenge in Payton’s heart remained undiminished.

Even Payton felt that as long as he could pick Lu Yu in this series, he could become famous!

As the second pick in 1990, Payton’s development was really a little unsmooth.

Derrick Coleman, who had 20 points and 11 rebounds this season, led the Nets to the playoffs.

Detective Mahammad Lauf also has 19.3 points and 4.2 assists this season.

Denis Scott, the fourth-overall pick, averaged 16 points per game with the Magic.

Kendall Gill, the fifth pick, also played 17 points and 4 attacks with the Hornets.

On the other hand, his 13.5 points and 5 assists are indeed a bit bad.

So, Payton now desperately needs to prove himself!

In this round of the game against the Lakers, he Gary Payton must play well.

The competition officially begins.

Michael Cage and Campbell play the jumping ball.

With the referee’s whistle, Campbell jumped up first and secured the team’s first offensive possession.

After Lu Yu received the ball, he advanced towards the front court.

Gary Payton immediately came to Lu Yu’s side with his two long arms and began to defend closely.

With the SuperSonics, Gary Payton must take every opportunity to show his defensive positivity.

After Lu Yu was defended by Gary Payton, he immediately carried Payton sideways and came to the front court.

After reaching the three-point line in the front court, Payton still defended Lu Yu closely.

Lu Yu first gave the basketball to Worthy’s hands.

Let Worthy try to single one.

After Worthy catches the ball, singles Derek McKay

But it didn’t work very well.

McKay defended the goal.

Supersonics protect rebounds.

Gary Payton immediately advanced with the ball.

“[Chain Array]!”

“Link: Lu Yu, Spreville. ”

Before the start of the match, Lu Yu used the props of the iron cable array.

This item allows +5% traverse speed and +10% clip success rate.

This will be Lu Yu and Madman, a weapon to lock up the guard line of all teams in the league!

Payton came to the front court with the ball and began to organize the team’s attack.

First of all, Kemp came over and blocked Peyton.

Peyton immediately accelerated the breakthrough by blocking the demolition.

At this time, the madman withdrew and delayed Peyton.

At the same time, Lu Yu also squeezed through the cover and directly assisted the defense bag from behind Peyton.

“Lean! How is it so fast?”

Payton suddenly felt that the speed of Lu Yu and the madman’s bag formation today was faster than when he played with the Lakers before!

Before he could react, the basketball in his hand had been stolen.

“Damn it!”

Peyton saw Lu Yu take the ball to advance the fast attack, and immediately chased after Lu Yu.

But he couldn’t catch up with Lu Yu at all.

Lu Yu took the ball to the front court, jumped with the ball, and dunked sideways to score.

2 to 0.

“The Lakers opened the game with a pocket defense and directly tackled Gary Payton. ”

“The Supersonics were beaten down by the Lakers!”

“Let’s see what supersonics choose next…”

This time, Payton came to the front court and passed the basketball to Ricky Pierce’s hand.

After Ricky Pierce received the ball, he opted for singles.

The madman’s approach was simple, put Pierce in the direction where the landing feather was.

Pierce chose the left side to break through.

When he broke through to the free throw line, Lu Yu’s bag came up again.

“I lean!”

Like Payton, Pierce was also taken aback by Lu Yu’s traverse speed.

However, he took advantage of the fact that the Lakers’ pocket had not yet formed, and immediately passed the basketball to Payton’s hand.

After Payton received the ball, he did not choose to shoot from beyond the three-point line.

Because he won’t…

Payton has only shot 20 percent from three-point range this season.

Although he plays in the position of point guard, his style of play is actually similar to that of a small forward.

More or impact basket, shooting distance is generally in the range of 3 feet to 10 feet.

That is, the shooting area with the midpoint of the penalty area and the free throw line and the distance to the basket as the radius.

Payton chose to rush to the basket with the ball.

That gives the Lakers a chance to assist defense.

Crowe came to Peyton for the first time to stop Peyton’s breakthrough.

Seeing this, Payton immediately passed the basketball to Sean Kamp.

At this time, Lu Yu immediately stepped up and defended Sean Kamp.

Camp saw that it was Lu Yu defending himself and smiled.

Immediately ask the supersonic player to pull the space out of his way.

He wants to single Lu Yu!

Sean Kemp began to hit Lu Yu with his back and carried Lu Yu to the basket.

Camp fits the ball, one turns and prepares to strike.

“Snap!”

But when Lu Yu raised the kamp ball, his palm appeared directly under the basketball like a ghost.

Then, Lu Yu fished the basketball into the air.

The basketball immediately flew out of Kemp’s grasp.

“Good fellow, catch the ball! not cut it!”

Cutting a ball is not the same as catching a ball.

Fishing for the ball is fishing up from under the basketball.

To cut the ball, you cut it from under the basketball.

Lu Yu’s small defense this time can definitely be said to be a classic!

Kemp’s hands are so large that they can basically cover the surface of the basketball.

But when Camp lifted the basketball.

The place below the basketball is absolutely beyond the control of Camp.

Then at this time, it is Lu Yu’s opportunity to cut the ball!

He relied on his reach to bridge the height gap between himself and Kep.

Straight to the basketball!

After the basketball in Kemp’s hand was fished away, the action in the air was directly deformed.

He wanted to compete for basketball again, but found that Lu Yu had jumped up and held the basketball firmly in his hands.

After taking the ball, Lu Yu immediately advanced the fast attack without the slightest hesitation.

It’s not at the midfield line yet.

“Eye of the Demon King!”

Among the many information streams, Lu Yu found the opportunity to pass the ball!

Pick the ball with both hands and pass the basketball directly into Crowe’s hand.

Crowe immediately hit the basket as soon as he received the ball.

Sean Kamp, who was in place with him, is still by Lu Yu’s side, so naturally he can’t interfere with Crowe.

“Boom!”

Crowe took advantage of the fact that the defensive communication on the side of the Supersonics was not yet in place, took the lead in jumping and dunking, and successfully scored the basketball.

40！

Lu Yu looked at Sean Kemp beside him at this time and said:

“Next time, protect the basketball in your hand like you protect your own eggs.” ”

Hearing Lu Yu’s undisguised mocking tone.

Sean Kemp was immediately furious.

He wanted to make some rebuttals to Lu Yu.

But now that he hasn’t scored a penny, how can he refute it?

Looks?

Data?

Honor?

Sean Kamp’s little head turned for a long time, and found that he couldn’t compare to Lu Yu…

If I have to say one, it’s height.

But is there a hammer meaning compared to height?

People have just defended themselves with a shorter height than themselves.

Now he still has to rush up to mock Lu Yu’s height?

Moreover, Lu Yu’s height has been difficult to see in point guards for many years.

He Kemp couldn’t mock at all.

“Wait, wait for me to detain you, I must mock you fiercely!”

Sean Camp stared at Lu Yu deadly.

In my mind, that’s the idea.

The game continues.

Payton came to the front court with a serious face and put the basketball in the hands of Camp, who was low in the position.

After receiving the basketball low, Kemp began to play back singles

“Bang!”

After a backbump, Kemp immediately jumped to distance himself and Crowe.

Immediately afterwards, a thrower was chosen.

The basketball then flies from the left side of the basket to the right side of the basket.

It’s just a bridge!

？？？

After seeing Kemp’s hook, George Carr on the sidelines was speechless.

You hook the hand of a hammer.

Will you hook your hands??

Yes, Camp will not hook …

His positioning is a violent power forward, and his style of play is to fly away.

This kind of hook of the technical flow, he really can’t learn …

Kemp was also embarrassed to see his hook hand directly across the bridge.

Made, I wanted to pretend to be compared.

As a result, I was punished if I couldn’t compare it…

At this time, the Lakers players were almost strained.

Crowe couldn’t help but spew trash talk.

“You’re super high!”

“Oh my God, is this the dominance of Rain-man Sean Kamp?”

“Do you know what you ruled over me?”

“You rule my laughter. ”

“Ahahaha, ahahaha~~”

Crowe usually learned a lot of trash talk with Lu Yu.

Now that I’m facing Sean Kamp, it’s natural to laugh and laugh.

After all, now the outside world is also beginning to compare himself with Sean Kemp.

In terms of origin, Crowe is indeed inferior to Kemp.

But Crowe doesn’t think he’s much worse than Kemp.

Kemp’s style of play is indeed violent and ornamental.

However, Tacro is a more team-type player!

This season’s average score is not much lower than Kemp’s 17.8 points!

Kemp was directly irritated by Crowe’s laughter.

“You shut up for me!”

“Okay. Crowe shut up when he heard this, and then imitated the action that Kemp had just hooked.

All right.

Now Camp is still uncomfortable when he speaks…

“Depend, this kid also has a hand in making people’s mentality…”

After Danny Young saw Crowe’s action, he felt that Croby had learned badly when he was a Blazer.
