Seeing that Charlize showed no sign of leaving, Lu Yu walked downstairs and said straight to the point: "Why haven't you gone back yet? Our family doesn't have much food left, let alone a bottle of red wine for you to throw."
"I have already apologized to you. I thought you were a thief, and I was afraid that I would hit you with a red wine bottle." There was a disdainful smile on Charlize's lips.
Lu Yu sat on the sofa and hummed: "This time it was a red wine bottle, next time it might be a kitchen knife. I saw you knocking the trash can away with your car. I seriously suspect that you have violent tendencies, so I'd better stay away from you.
To avoid unnecessary disasters.”
Lu Yu crossed his legs and looked at Charlize, who was also looking directly at him. The other person didn't seem to care at all what Lu Yu said, but his eyes were full of curiosity.
Charlize's character is a bit irritable, which is caused by her childhood experiences, and this irritability only occurs when facing her mother.
Lu Yu cleared his throat and said with a smile: "I think what I said is very clear. Although we are neighbors, unfortunately, I am worried that my neighbors will cause harm to my family. But fortunately, I know you are an actor.
, you are often not at home when filming."
Charlize smoothed his hair and said abruptly: "I heard from my mother that Annie is your uncle's sister, but this is different from what I know."
"Then what?" Lu Yu glanced at her casually.
"Why did you say that?"
Charlize didn't wait for Lu Yu's answer and continued: "I guess it's because my mother wanted to introduce you to me, so you deliberately said you were single. This is what scumbags usually do."
"I like the word scumbag, haha." Lu Yu looked at her with a sneer, shook his head and said: "Unfortunately, you guessed wrong, I am an NBA player, and my relationship will attract public attention, so I lied to the public that Annie is me
Sister, I am here to protect her. As for what you said about wanting to date you, I'm sorry, I don't want to be domestically abused every day."
"You...I'm not a violent maniac..." Charlize's lips trembled slightly, then calmed down immediately: "Suddenly I'm not very hungry anymore. I'm a little tired from giving lectures to Annie. I'd better go back and rest."
"Thank you for your hard work. Go to bed early."
Lu Yuyang waved his hands on the sofa: "Adequate sleep has an excellent healing effect on a irritable mood. Bipolar disorder is a disease, and you must actively cooperate with the treatment."
Charlize resisted the urge to give Lu Yu a violent shock and left Lu Yu's home very spinelessly.
She was lonely and aggrieved, and felt helpless. Who could let her pick up the red wine bottle and smash it directly?
Who allowed himself to hit the accelerator and knock the trash can away in front of this man?
I obviously have nothing to do with this man.
But... I still feel aggrieved!
Anne came out of the kitchen carrying the prepared dinner: "Huh? Where is Sister Charlize?"
"Oh, she suddenly came to visit her aunt, so she stopped eating here."
Annie: “????”
Auntie, how did you know she was here?
"By the way, Lu, Snoopy sent someone to bring... a gun. What do you want that for?"
Lu Yu looked out the window with a gloomy expression: "Because the weather is about to change..."
…
During this period, Lu Yu has been training with his Bulls teammates.
All the Bulls players also voluntarily gave up the last month and a half of the offseason... Mainly because they rested for too long. They started to rest since the end of the regular season in April. They have rested for more than four months. They also need
Train to get back into shape.
Occasionally, Lu Yu would team up with Artest and Crawford to play rough on the street courts.
In Artest's words: "We play street ball not to show the strength of professional players, nor to find the feeling of winning, but simply because it feels good to torture people."
Crawford was convinced: "We were tortured for the whole season last season, and Ron might have suppressed it."
That's why they have more motivation to train, in order not to be abused this season, and in order to abuse others this season.
Lu Yu also gave each of his teammates a pair of his signature sneakers. His Lu Yu generation was officially released in China, causing a wave of consumer frenzy. The advertisement in the United States was also officially launched. As soon as the advertisement came out, Crawford
I was embarrassed to find Lu Yu, but I wanted a pair.
Lu Yu was very generous and called Ding Shizhong and asked him to help arrange to send a large box with his teammates' shoe sizes.
Even Kobe Bryant called Lu Yu: "Lu, I want to buy a pair of your sneakers. I like this style very much."
Lu Yu: "Didn't you sign with Nike? Can you wear it?"
Kobe Bryant: "I can collect them. If I have a chance in the future, I will also ask Nike to help me make a pair of basketball shoes of this style."
Lu Yu agreed to give Kobe a pair when the Bulls met the Lakers in the regular season.
Mainly I'm sorry because this pair of shoes was originally copied from Kobe's sneaker design.
The team's players are training hard every day, and the coaching staff will certainly not ignore the performance of each player. Even the management suddenly feels that this team, which was half-dead last year, is suddenly full of a different atmosphere.
Vibrant?
Or... a comeback?
General manager Krause and head coach Floyd chatted in their spare time.
"The team is training very hard now?" Klaus asked.
Floyd put down the tactical book in his hand and said with a smile: "I think it's because they have a goal. The addition of Lu Yu has brought about a chemical change in the team's offense. He has sorted out the team's offense in order. As long as the new season
Give him enough possessions and I think he'll surprise everyone."
"Is he so powerful?" Klaus was stunned.
"Yes, even many Charles praised him highly, but Cartwright and I haven't thought clearly about how to use him." Floyd sighed.
"What's wrong?" Klaus and Floyd are close friends, but he is also the general manager of the team, so he naturally cares about the team's situation, not to mention the impact Lu Yu can bring can be seen with the naked eye. There are already many
Sponsors from China want to reach an advertising sponsorship agreement with the team.
Floyd smiled bitterly: "Cartwright and I had the idea of letting Lu Yu play point guard. This would ensure the lower limit of the team's record. But if the team wants to go further, Lu Yu must return to scoring.
In the guard position."
They hope that Lu Yu can become a player like Isaiah Thomas, but if he can't, then they might as well let Lu Yu return to a position that suits him. What's more, even Isaiah Thomas is facing a new challenge in the team.
It took Marc Aguilli to win the championship.
In the few seasons when the Smiling Assassins had higher scores, they failed.
In the 1982-83 season, Thomas led the team in assists, steals and playing time, and his scoring average of 22.9 points per game was the second-highest on the team and the highest score of his career.
However, as a team, the Pistons did not improve in the rankings, with 37 wins and 45 losses.
Due to the need to shoulder a large number of offensive tasks for the Pistons, Thomas averaged more than 20 points per game from the 1982-83 season to the 1986-87 season.
But it wasn't until the 1988-89 season that the Pistons traded Dantley for Thomas's friend Mark Aguilli from the Dallas Mavericks in the middle of the season. The Bad Boys successfully broke through the obstacles in the playoffs in three games.
Sweeping the Celtics, bloodbathing the Bucks in four games, defeating the Bulls led by Jordan in six games, and finally the unstoppable Pistons swept the Lakers in the finals and won the first NBA championship trophy in their history.
.
Klaus pondered for a long time and then said slowly: "So you want me to trade Lu Yu for a point guard helper as soon as possible?"
After saying this, he felt incredible.
Because Lu Yu has not played a regular season game so far, or even a preseason game, he and Floyd have already treated Lu Yu as the core of the team.
I don’t know whether to say that the previous Bulls team was too bad, or because Lu Yu’s performance in training during this period was too good.
Klaus shook his head: "I think we still need to see his performance. If he performs well enough and really has the ability to become the core of the team, I might not be able to find a way to trade him for a helper, just like
It was like trading Rodman for Michael."
Floyd thought for a while and said seriously: "Of course, this is your job. I think Lu Yu can also assume the responsibility of a core organizer in the early stage. Whether it is in the summer league or in the recent team training, Lu Yu
Dou has shown strong breakthrough shooting and organizational skills. He is good at counterattacks and is even better at finding open teammates when opponents are tearing him apart. If he performs well in the regular season, I think we will be able to announce to the media that Lu Yu is this person soon.
He is the core of the team.”
Klaus nodded: "This is indeed feasible, but only if his performance can convince other players."
The two did not continue to communicate.
They all know that this is their future plan. At present, the leader of the team will still be chosen between Marcus Fizer, Ron Mercer and Brad Miller.
But the three of them are definitely not the team's long-term plan.
NBA is not only a basketball league, but also a mixed workplace. Krause, Floyd and the management and coaching staff are like fish in the workplace. Players like Lu Yu, Artest, and Crawford are also in the workplace.
of a fish.
The big fish eats the small fish, and the small fish eats the shrimp. This is an unchanging rule in the workplace.
This is true in the workplace, and so is the NBA.
With Krause's words, Floyd has greater ambitions for next season. Although their lineup is not the best in the league and their shortcomings are obvious, he is confident of getting rid of last season's rotten situation.
.
The team's lineup has been almost integrated during this period.
Just wait for the pre-season to test the results.
At this time, a piece of news was inserted on the TV in the room: "On the morning of September 11th, Eastern Time, two hijacked commercial airliners crashed into Tower 1 and Tower 2 of the World Trade Center in New York, USA.
The buildings collapsed one after another after being attacked, and the remaining five buildings of the World Trade Center were also collapsed and damaged by the earthquake. At about 9 o'clock, another hijacked passenger plane crashed into the Pentagon of the U.S. Department of Defense in Washington, USA. Part of the structure of the Pentagon
