Basketball starts with breathing

Chapter 11 Confirmation of the starting list
"Stinky boy, he's quite clever."

Seeing that Lu Yu was recognized by all the team members, a flash of approval flashed in Mark Foyou's eyes.

He originally thought that Lu Yu's method was a little immature.

But then he thought of the tactical training a few days ago. Lu Yu has always lost to Black, and would rather go to training under the sun by himself, but also keep Black's face.

Perhaps since then, Black has silently admitted Lu Yu in his heart.

Could it be that Lu Yu had already started calculating at that time?

Thinking of this, Mark Foyo gave Lu Yu another deep look. Maybe this kid will have a brighter future than he imagined.

……

After the Gonzaga basketball team went through the intra-team competition, the team's starting roster has come out.

Point guard: No. 7, Dan Decau.

Shooting guard: No. 10, Lu Yu.

Small Forward: No. 1, Mark Spink.

Power forward: No. 21, Zach Good.

Center: No. 34, Casey Green.

After confirming the list, the team is about to usher in the official NCAA game, and Mark Foyou also held a mobilization meeting for all the players.

"The team's starting list is not static. Whoever plays badly will be replaced."

"..."

"Don't be discouraged, Blake. I'll try to put you at small forward when the season starts."

……

"In addition, next Monday, November 11, we will welcome our first opponent, the Washington Eagles, and we will study the video of the opponent's game in the past few days."

……

"Before the game, everyone can rest for two days to recharge and prepare for the game!"

After some words, the players were full of enthusiasm.

Mark Foyou's meaning is very simple, the team's starting roster is not static, this is to motivate the substitutes, and letting Black try to play small forward is indeed a tactical configuration he is conceiving.

At the same time, it can also form a competition between Black and Mark Spink.

Only when a team is full of healthy competition can it be a team full of fighting spirit and vitality.

As for the Washington Eagles...

He really didn't pay attention.

Mark Foyou looked at Lu Yu, who was sitting quietly in the corner, and was a little surprised.

"Maybe, he can really lead Gonzaga to the final glory!"

Lu Yu has this strength, but the experience is too immature.

Especially when it comes to NCAA games, where it's not as friendly as the Gonzaga players.

Confrontation and hand-to-hand combat are commonplace, not to mention that Lu Yu has a special skin color, which is rarely seen in the NCAA and will be discriminated against.

Mark Foyou also doesn't know whether Lu Yu's NCAA road will be smooth.

……

Lu Yu sat in the tactical analysis room, quietly listening to Mark Foyou analyzing the video of the Washington Eagles.

After listening to it, I made a simulation in my mind.

Dan Dicko, Kathy Green, Zach Goode...

There is absolutely no problem with the main lineup.

Also on the bench is a great scorer like Blake Stepp.

Lu Yu silently observed his partners who would step onto the court together in the next few months.

The friendship between men progresses very quickly. Two people who don't know each other drinking a glass of wine may become friends of life and death. After playing a game, they can also become close comrades-in-arms.

Lu Yu liked these teammates very much.

Although Casey Green has not been able to enter the NBA in the future, his style of play is very practical in the NCAA, and although he is very black, he is only dealing with opponents. When he becomes a teammate, he will find that he is easy to get along with and has no temper. There is no air, and everywhere will be considered for teammates.

Dan Dickau's character is like his style of play, steady and honest. He will not have exaggerated words, and his every move is so simple and unpretentious, and there are few fancy moves of streetball.

What surprised Lu Yu the most was Blake Stroup. Despite his arrogant personality, he refused to accept anyone, but after being conquered by Lu Yu, Lu Yu discovered that he was just as stubborn as Snoopy, and he was as arrogant as before. is exactly two people.

The most important thing is that this guy is still an old gangster who often sneaks a peek at passing beauties during training, and occasionally blows a hooligan whistle regardless of Mark Foyo's punishment.

All in all, aside from Blake Stepp, this team really has a bit of a Final Four look.

"I crossed too early, and I couldn't meet an opponent like Carmelo Anthony, but like the Michigan Spartans and the Duke University Blue Devils, they are also tough overall teams."

Little Melon is still a high school student, and it is obviously impossible to compete with him.

But every opponent in March Madness can still be nerve-wracking.

One game, if you win, you stay, if you lose, you go home...

Your NCAA journey may not be what you imagined.

The best players at Duke this year are only Sean Battier, Elton Brand and Corey Maggette already in the NBA.

but,

And Boozer!

Seems like there's another Jay Williams who's not so lucky.

Neither are weak.

"Even if there are few future NBA superstar players, which one is a difficult role!"

Lu Yu looked up at the tactical board. For some reason, he always felt that Mark Foyou, who was standing beside the tactical board, was looking at him...

Filled with worries?
……

In a blink of an eye, it's the weekend.

Watching the video of the Eagles' game in the past few days, Lu Yu has a new insight.

Many times, you may not be able to see the problem through your own training, but watching the video from the perspective of a bystander, you can find your own inadequacies after two-phase confirmation.

So even on weekends, Lu Yu didn't choose to go home.

Tomorrow will usher in his NCAA game debut, and he always feels that his preparation is not enough.

He decided to go to the library today.

Because Lu Yu promised Mark Foyou that he would try to remember the basic skills and tactics of every basketball, he thought about going to the library to find some relevant books to supplement his knowledge before the official start of the game next Monday.

Snoopy is going too, he told Lu Yu that he likes to read books.

Lu Yu would rather believe that he likes to look at beauties in the library.

Gonzaga's dormitory area is far from the library, and it takes half an hour to walk, so they set off on Lu Yu's small electric motorcycle.

Snoopy's mouth has not stopped since he got on Lu Yu's small electric motorcycle.

"Lu Yu, you have to know that the reason you can join the school basketball team is all because of my help."

"If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't know Coach Mark Foyou that day."

"You actually want to leave me alone to go to the library!"

"Damn Lu, you don't need to apologize to me, I won't accept it, but if you tell me one thing, I can forgive you, and that is how long it will take to get there?"

Lu Yu glanced at the rear-view mirror helplessly: "Can't you just keep your mouth shut?"

"I think so too, but it's very windy today."

Snoopy looked aggrieved: "I can't close my mouth when the wind blows. If I don't say a few words, I think I will be very sad."

Lu Yu released the accelerator and let Snoopy stop for a while, but he didn't expect that he just closed his mouth and started again: "Lu Yu, look across the road."

"what happened again?"

"I saw Jessica."

Lu Yu was stunned for a moment: "Where is she?"

"I said across the road, Lu, you didn't even listen to what I said, did you only hear the words Jessica? You don't respect me at all, you have to apologize to me when you arrive at the library later, But I won't accept it..."

"To shut up."

Across the road, Jessica squatted beside her bike, her face gloomy and a little helpless in the sun.

"Looks like her bike is broken."

Snoopy looked excited: "God must have heard my sincere prayer and specially gave me this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. God, how could God know that I have learned how to repair a bicycle."

Lu Yu also guessed that Jessica's bicycle was broken, but he didn't plan to go up to say hello, because he had admitted that he was chasing Jessica in order to get close to Mark Foyou before.

But now that he has joined the basketball team, does Jessica still need to chase?

Lu Yu didn't like trouble, so he tightened the throttle and prepared to pretend he didn't see it.

But when he heard Snoopy's words, he frowned slightly: "Why didn't I know you could repair bicycles?"

Suddenly, Lu Yu had an ominous feeling.
