When Lu Yu first entered the Little Green Room, he was still thinking that he didn't want to go to the Bulls.
I didn’t expect that retribution would come so quickly. The less you want it, the more it will come. It’s like playing mahjong, knowing that you are facing nine sticks, but you just touch the card in your hand, nine sticks!
You say it's irritating or not.
He suddenly thought of Elton Brand who was about to be traded. Isn't this guy Tyson Chandler who was traded by the Bulls to the Clippers?
After working together for a long time, now I replaced Chandler with myself?
"Hello, Lu, what do you think about being selected by the Clippers?" A blond reporter took a microphone and interviewed Lu Yu.
Lu Yu took a look at the reporter from ESPN. It was clearly written on the badge.
They probably haven't received the news that they were traded. This shows that Snoopy's work ability is still very good. Maybe it's because of the different levels. After all, Snoopy is the media owner, and these reporters are just employees.
"I'm very happy to join the Los Angeles Clippers. Los Angeles is a great city, and my friend Kobe Bryant is there. Although it's not the same team, at least we are in the same city and we can train together."
Lu Yu did not disclose the news that he was traded.
Before the Bulls and Clippers made an announcement, it seemed very pretentious for him to say the news himself.
What's more, if there is a change, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?
Another reporter next to him said lukewarmly: "I'm afraid you will be disappointed. The news we got is that, Lu, you may be traded to Chicago. I would like to ask, will you go to Chicago to report?"
Lu Yu glanced at the reporter in surprise. It was not surprising when he saw that the microphone the other person held was from Sports Illustrated.
No one pays more attention to Lu Yu than Sports Illustrated.
They even care more about Lu Yu than himself.
Lu Yu previously gave everyone the impression of being a prick, thanks to Michael Jordan's publicity, and the Chicago Bulls are a notoriously bad team in the league, and the team is full of bastards who play as well as fight.
It stands to reason that Lu Yu would not be willing to join such a bad team.
So the Sports Illustrated reporter directly asked Lu Yu if he would go to Chicago to report.
Lu Yu showed a surprised expression, making Snoopy on the side marvel at his acting skills.
"Chicago? I didn't expect that I would be traded to the Bulls. It really surprised me. Of course I will report it. I like the Windy City. Although it will be a bit cold, I believe the Bulls will make me feel comfortable."
warmth."
Snoopy secretly gave Lu Yu a thumbs up. Lu Yu's words were absolutely watertight. I believe the Bulls players will be overflowing with motherly love when they hear these words.
"Everyone knows that my nickname is 'Gentleman.' Wouldn't it be cool if I added the word 'Windy City' in front of it."
Windy City Gentleman?
The reporters present seemed to have caught the headline of tomorrow’s news all at once.
At this time, a familiar reporter's face was crowded in the crowd. Lu Yu quickly pointed with his finger and said: "Please give way to him, that is my friend."
All the reporters made way, and Su Qun let out a long sigh.
It's really not easy to interview Lu Yu now.
"Reporter Su, are you here too?" Lu Yu greeted him.
"Yes, don't I want to interview you?" Su Qun's current identity is still a reporter for "Sports Weekly". He quickly entered the role and asked: "Mr. Lu Yu, I would like to ask, after the draft is over, will you
Will you choose to return to China to participate in the national team training?"
"National team?"
Lu Yu smiled and said: "I haven't received a call from coach Wang Fei yet. I can't give you the answer until I get the call."
The words were not spoken yet.
Snoopy shook the phone in his hand at Lu Yu. When he was beside Lu Yu and told Lu Yu the news, Lu Yu handed the phone to him before starting the interview.
Lu Yu signaled to the reporters that the interview was over.
Then he walked to Snoopy, took the phone, and saw a missed call.
It's Wang Fei.
…
A cafe next to Madison Square in New York.
Lu Yu called Su Qun, and together they met Wang Fei, the current head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, in this coffee shop.
Su Qun wanted to know the answer to the question, but Lu Yu didn't tell him just now.
Just bring him here and let him witness it.
After all, Lu Yu also wants to take this opportunity to increase his popularity in the country, and "Sports Weekly", which ranks among the top domestic sports newspapers at this time, is undoubtedly a good choice.
Of course it would be better if it was CCTV.
It's a pity that CCTV didn't broadcast it this time for some unknown reason.
"I heard you were traded to the Bulls?" Wang Fei asked, stirring the coffee with a spoon.
"yes."
Lu Yu sighed: "I originally planned to go to Dallas, but now I can't."
Wang Fei smiled and said: "Then the favor you owed me is gone. I've suffered a big loss this time."
Su Qun was confused as he listened, what kind of favor?
Neither Lu Yu nor Wang Fei gave an explanation. After all, if this matter was revealed, Lu Yu and the Mavericks might be punished.
After a short period of astonishment, Su Qun gradually came to his senses, but he also knew that this matter could not be reported.
No further questions were asked.
Lu Yu was straightforward, without beating around the bush, and said straight to the point: "Although I didn't make it, you helped me with more than just this one thing. You supported me in my last fight, so no matter what, I owe you."
Favor.”
"I'm a little touched by what you said." Wang Fei took a sip of coffee, and then continued: "You didn't see the CCTV reporter today, right? Don't you want to know why?"
"Why?"
"Actually, the officials of the Basketball Association let it go before the media and wanted you to join the national team to compete in the East Asian Games."
Wang Fei curled his lips and said with disdain: "They thought you would get wind of it and report to the national team obediently. In fact, they have no idea that you won't receive much domestic news in Spokane."
It's somewhat self-righteous.
"So they won't let CCTV broadcast it?" Lu Yu sighed.
In this day and age, the Basketball Association is still very tyrannical.
Of course they have always been very aggressive.
"What do you think about the national team?" Wang Fei asked.
Su Qun also quickly pricked up his ears.
Because Lu Yu is not a player within the system, there is a certain degree of specialness. The Basketball Association cannot control Lu Yu. Even if he loses the domestic market, as long as Lu Yu plays well in the NBA, he can still become an American basketball star. The big deal
Eat this bowl of rice from China.
So they didn't know what Lu Yu was thinking.
Where is Lu Yu?
Although he resents the domestic system, he does not want to give up on the domestic market. Once he signed a contract with Anta, and now he is a shareholder of Anta, the domestic market is an important part of his future business landscape.
Secondly, his media empire is currently only in the United States, but he also wants to extend his tentacles to the country in the future.
"Of course I would like to join the national team."
Lu Yu smiled.
His words made both Wang Fei and Su Qun sigh in relief.
"but……"
Lu Yu's butt made them hold back their relieved breath.
The two of them looked at Lu Yu at the same time.
Lu Yu smiled and comforted them: "But if I go back now, it is equivalent to surrendering to them. If one has one, there are two. If I want to play, I must have the right to choose in domestic competitions."
"Hiss..." Su Qun took a breath of air.
Can those guys from the Basketball Association agree to this condition?
Wang Fei was also stunned.
Lu Yu was not in a hurry, just waiting quietly for Wang Fei's answer.
After a long time, Wang Feicai sighed and said: "What I can promise you is that when I am the head coach of the national team, you can do this. Even if you don't participate in this year's game, but to make plans for the future... you
This time the reason must be given.”
If you give enough reasons, both parties will have face.
This year is all Asian competitions. Whether or not Lu Yu is there will not affect the results. Wang Fei’s purpose is also to make plans for next year’s World Championships.
"Isn't the injury on my wrist still healed?"
Lu Yu raised his hand and shook it.
Wang Fei laughed dumbly.
Lu Yu knew about the national team, and the dust had settled for the time being.
