Chapter 355 What an experience it is to shoot without a hand
Lu Fei and Zhu Fangyu Yi Jianlian's dinner was not a simple party, but arranged the training plan for the two of them during this period before leaving the supersound.
In their next game against the Suns, they'll fly to Phoenix, where the heat is dying.
So there is not much time left for Lu Fei, Zhu Fangyu and Yi Jianlian are not tourists when they come to Seattle, they are also here for the summer training camp, but because Lu Fei is worried that they will not be able to adapt to the intensity of the confrontation of American players, he arranged trainers for them in advance.
"Xiao Lu, you see I'm so handsome, that ...... Can I get a discount on the trainer's fee? "Even if his skin is as thick as Zhu Fangyu, he is a little embarrassed at this time.
After all, the fees of these famous trainers in the United States are not low.
Yi Jianlian didn't say anything, just silently took out a bank card from his pocket.
"Brother Lu, I'm just so much, not enough to deduct from my salary next season."
After saying that, he lowered his head and continued to eat noodles.
Lu Zhou pushed back the card on the table: "You signed a contract with my economic company, this money can't run away, it's impossible to get a discount, it's okay to record it in the account first, it just so happens that Gu Tang helped you get two endorsement contracts, and when the money arrives, it will be deducted." ”
"Also, there are a few requirements I want to tell you, our brothers belong to brothers, but there are no rules, there is no circle, endorsements, food endorsements can not be accepted, this point I have marked in the contract, we have to make money to earn conscience money, training expenses, the company out, but it will be recorded in the account, your task is only one, is to play well, play well, you don't have to worry about other things, understand?"
It was the first time Zhu Fangyu had seen Lu Fei so serious, and it was rare that he didn't have a hippie smile, so he nodded solemnly.
He understands better than anyone that Yi Jianlian's hopes for entering the NBA are much greater than him, both in terms of age and potential, so he cherishes this opportunity even more.
Lu Fei didn't continue to say anything else, until Wang Zhizhi came, the atmosphere of the four of them was much warmer, and Yi Jianlian was not as dull as it was at the beginning.
In fact, Lu Fei is a little worried about Yi Jianlian's character, his personality will make him more difficult to mix in the NBA, if Yi Jianlian and Zhu Fangyu enter the NBA at the same time, he thinks that Zhu Fangyu can mix a little more, after all, ...... Dick silk has a lot of friends.
The next day, the supersonic team flew to Phoenix.
In everyone's eyes, the SuperSonics, who have taken a 2-0 lead and won both games easily, should be a matter of course for the Suns to win this game.
But no one expected that the process of the game was not as smooth as everyone thought, from the beginning, the Suns have been pressing the supersonic speed, Lu Fei's shooting rate is ridiculously low, the first five shots are all missed, and Oku and Wang Zhizhi also lost the magic of the last game, and were beaten by Stoudemire in a row, both of them carried two fouls, which made McMillan become overstretched in the interior lineup.
The biggest weakness of hypersound is revealed, they don't have a strong inside line!
All their strong points are piled up on the outside of the team, whether it is Lu Fei, Ray Allen, or Roy and Battier, the first hurdle of offense and defense is the outside line.
From the beginning of the season to the present, there have not been many times when other teams have been able to break the outside line of the supersonic, so the weakness of the supersonic interior line has not been exposed, but in this game, because of Nash's threading the needle, the Suns frequently succeeded on the inside, and the supersonic was blinded all of a sudden.
Fortunately, there is also a fig leaf of Rasheed Wallace.
McMillan has no choice, the bad feeling of the outside line is not something that his coach can predict, it still depends on the players to adjust themselves, the most important thing is that he didn't expect that even Lu Fei's hand felt wrong, but he can't replace Lu Fei with anyone, so he can only leave Lu Fei on the field and let him adjust by himself.
Lu Fei also discovered this situation, his hand feeling was really bad, and his teammates' hand was not good, so after he forced his shot, he didn't shoot again, but stabilized the rhythm, tried to find the opponent's weak points, and to find who else in his team could feel a little better.
Soon he found Battier's position in the bottom corner, and Battier hit a three-pointer and the basketball fell into the basket with a thud.
Lu Fei let out a long sigh of relief.
Then Ray Allen gradually found his touch.
It was also with the excellent play of Battier and Ray Allen that the SuperSonics were able to hold the score tightly, and at the end of the first half, they were only five points behind 43:48.
At halftime, the focus of everyone's comments fell on Lu Fei unsurprisingly.
"It's really an incredible thing, Lu Fei actually played abnormally." Smith said in surprise: "You must know that Lu Fei's true shooting percentage has always been the first in the league, and he has not played abnormally since the beginning of the season, even in the last game, although the score was not high, but it was not because of the problem of shooting percentage, but his shots were reduced." ”
Kerr next to him didn't speak, just looked at the technical statistics in his hand, and Lu Fei's name was followed by his first-half stats - 2-of-8 shooting, 7 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists.
If this data is placed on other players in the league, it is actually not bad, but you must know that Lu Fei is the MVP of the regular season this season, and an MVP can't say anything if he takes this data.
He's Lu Fei!
This season, everyone is not surprised that Lu Fei scored 50 points, you must know that during the time when he and Kobe Bryant scored, everyone saw Lu Fei's shot and didn't even need to watch the ball fall into the basket, so they knew that the scorer must be changing again.
This season's Lu Fei is a scoring machine!
But it's an unbelievable scoring machine to score only seven points in the half.
Is this still Lu Fei?
"Steve, is there a time when a shooter like you feels so bad?" Smith asked.
"Of course there is." Cole nodded: "Any player will have a bad hand, but each player's choice is different, some players will choose to continue to shoot, because they are more confident than anyone else, they need to shoot to prove themselves, and some players will choose another way to help the team, such as choosing to make the ball for teammates, but I don't know which one Lu Fei will be?" ”
Smith smiled: "I know the first one you said, it's Michael, do you think Lu Fei will be Michael?" ”
Cole shook his head: "I don't know, because both options are the right choice." ”
"But I believe that a great player will make his own choices."
At this time, Lu Fei was sitting in the locker room, the towel was covering his face, sweat was dripping down his cheeks and falling on his shoulders, his hands were clasped tightly, he knew that there was a lot of time in the game and he needed to stand up, but he always had a feeling in his heart that told him that he couldn't throw in today's state.
Suddenly, Lu Fei found that there was a person sitting next to him, and he took off the towel and took a look.
It's McMillan.
