Chapter 152 Lu, is Annie at home? Ask for a monthly pass]
It was already late at night when Lu Yu returned to Chicago.
This NBA China game, although it did not help in terms of strength, it really helped Lu Yu increase his popularity in the country.
As a Chinese player playing in a league in a foreign country, in addition to his own strength, the support of the domestic market is also a weapon that can support the player's back.
This is true whether it is for Lu Yu or Wang Zhizhi.
Not long after getting off the plane, Lu Yu received a call from Lu Chaoyang.
"I heard that Jessica is going to Chicago to watch your game. How are you? Are you nervous?" Lu Chaoyang said with a smile.
Lu Yu started to talk nonsense: "It's just a regular season. I will play a lot of regular seasons in the future, and this time the opponent is the Indiana Pacers. It's a piece of cake. I will definitely defeat the opponent in minutes."
"Stop talking nonsense to me."
Lu Chaoyang coughed lightly: "Let me ask you, what is your relationship with Jessica?"
"Friendship."
"Where's Annie?"
"It's also a friendship."
Lu Chaoyang: "..."
He knew that Annie gave up her acting career for her son and went to Chicago together.
But when it came to Lu Yu.
Don't ask, just ask and you will be a friend.
Why did he have such a merciless son? Lu Chaoyang was a little helpless. He wanted to comfort himself that his son had grown up. It was also his fault that he should not have brought him to the United States. In the end, he could only sigh helplessly: "
Be careful, don't fall into the Shura field."
"???"
Lu Yu was stunned for a moment. Lu Chaoyang still knew the word Shura Field?
But Lao Lu’s reminder is correct. You really need to pay attention.
Playing with fire is fun for a while.
If you play too much, it will be a crematorium.
After getting off the plane, Artest invited Lu Yu to have dinner with him. After Lu Yu finished eating, he packed another meal back for Anne Hathaway.
Pushing open the door, Annie was cleaning. She knew that Lu Yu would be back today and was afraid that she would fall asleep, so she kept working to refresh herself.
Seeing the food in Lu Yu's hand, she was stunned for a moment, then looked at the dining table.
Lu Yu followed her gaze and saw a table of food prepared on the table.
"I was worried that you hadn't eaten, so I packed a portion and came back to eat with you." Lu Yu immediately changed his excuse: "It's just right, you don't need to eat takeout."
Annie was stunned for a moment: "Well, then I'll put this in the refrigerator."
Lu Yu handed over the package in his hand, thinking that this girl was really interesting, and he had to eat the food she cooked to be happy.
It's just that I feel wronged and have to eat another meal.
The two of them were sitting at the dining table, eating and chatting about what she had been busy with at home during her recent absence.
In fact, Anne Hathaway has nothing else to do except learn acting from Charlize next door.
etc.
Performance?
Lu Yu seemed to have caught a glimmer of inspiration.
"By the way, has Scarlett contacted you recently?" Lu Yu asked casually.
"No."
Annie shook her head: "She is filming a blockbuster recently, so she should be very busy."
Anne looked envious.
Lu Yu nodded: "Then I will take you to New York at the end of the month. You two haven't seen each other for a long time, so it's just a good time to get together."
The last preseason game against the Knicks at the end of the month was just scheduled, so Lu Yu didn't even eat anything and went back to his room to dial Scarlett's phone.
"Hey, are you busy?"
"I was quite busy before, but not anymore."
Scarlett's voice is sweet.
"I will go to New York to play an away game in a few days..."
"Really? That's great. You tell me then and I'll book the room. Lu, you don't know that I really miss you in New York, the smell of you, your strength..."
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Lu Yu quickly interrupted and asked her to continue. She was about to be blocked: "I have something to trouble you about. My dad has adopted a goddaughter. She is Anne Hathaway from your crew. She wants to film. When you get there,
Introduce a role to her."
"Annie?"
Scarlett said jealously: "If she wants a role, she can come to me directly, but she has to go through you? Tell me frankly, is there any secret between you two?"
"No, she really is my goddaughter."
Lu Yu insisted: "Okay, you try your best to arrange it anyway, sorry for bothering you."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yu calculated the time, arranged the audition and waited for the results. It would take a few days, so it should be enough.
…
October 28th, the last preseason game between the Chicago Bulls and New York Knicks.
Alan Houston originally planned to take a truce, but when he heard that Lu Yu was coming, he became interested in playing, but there was not much matchup between the two on the court.
And because it was the last preseason game, both sides kept their strength and did not play very fiercely.
Originally, Lu Yu wanted to have a good match with Alan Houston. After all, it is rare to meet this mid-range shooting king, and this mid-range shooting king has only been around for a few seasons. As a result, before the game, head coach Floyd asked
Talk to him and let him spend less time fighting this time.
"I made an agreement with Drew to let him take more control of the ball in the preseason, so you play less. It's the last battle. Save some energy to prepare for the regular season. I will give you more opportunities to perform in the regular season."
"I obey the coach's arrangements." Lu Yu readily agreed.
Floyd nodded, very satisfied with Lu Yu's attitude.
He needs obedient players. If Lu Yu is as prickly as Jordan said, he will have a headache. Facts have proved that Jordan's words were just out of embarrassment.
Lu Yu spent all his energy on the court toiling in the room with Scarlett at night.
After some talk, Scarlett snuggled into Lu Yu's chest and told Lu Yu that the audition had been arranged, but Anne Hathaway seemed a little hesitant.
Lu Yu could only let Scarlett sleep alone first.
"I'm going to persuade that stubborn person."
Scarlett: "..."
Lu Yu arranged for Anne Hathaway to stay in the hotel where the team stayed. The hotel where he and Scarlett dated was another hotel. When he returned to the hotel and knocked on Anne's door, he could clearly see that Anne was slightly embarrassed.
look.
"What's wrong?"
"Lu, there is something I want to discuss with you..."
"Say it."
Lu Yu knew that Annie must be confused. She always showed her worries on her face: "Let me hear what it is. If you let me sleep with you tonight, it might be more difficult."
"No, not this."
Anne Hathaway blushed: "It's Scarlett. She told me there was an audition. I was hesitating whether to go..."
Lu Yu looked serious, held Annie's pretty face in his hands, and said seriously: "Listen to me Annie, I have told you many times, I don't want you to give up your favorite career for me. If you want to audition,
I fully support you."
"But……"
"You stay in New York this time, and you can go back after the audition. Hey, I can't bear to have you separated from me."
"How about I..."
"No, you can't sacrifice for me anymore. You gave up your chance to act last time. This is your dream. I can't be so selfish."
"All right……"
"Then it's settled, I'll wait for your good news."
Lu Yu felt that he did a good job in portraying the situation where he was reluctant to be separated from Anne in order to let her pursue her dream. At least there would be no problem in winning an Oscar.
Um,
I can finally go back to Chicago with peace of mind.
…
The Bulls coaching staff has determined the 15-man roster for the new season, which is similar to what everyone saw in the preseason.
But the media is not optimistic about the Bulls.
One is because their lineup has not been greatly improved compared to last season, and they even lost the All-Star player Elton Brand.
Second, although the results in the preseason are very good, the preseason is not the regular season. In the regular season, the confrontation and tactics are full, and the Bulls will definitely lose.
Third, in the past few games, the Bulls have made all teams see the weakness of their number one position. The Bulls not only want Lu Yu's scoring ability, but also lack an effective organizer. Obviously, the coaching staff finally decided to let Lu Yu.
Yu returned to the shooting guard position he was good at in college.
If Lu Yu can play point guard well, why does he have to play shooting guard in the last few games of the preseason?
There is only one reason, that is, the Bulls lack scoring points.
Everyone has guessed the answer, because if you look at all the Bulls players, there is almost no stable scoring point. Maybe Brad Miller is one, but a center of Brad Miller's caliber,
It's not enough in front of those star centers.
A reporter in Washington interviewed Michael Jordan. This time he did not say bad things about Lu Yu. He is now a hero of the league, so it would be a shame to say bad things about a rookie.
Not to mention he knows the Bulls.
Understand Cartwright, understand Freud, and understand Krauss better.
Although Jordan wanted to see Lu Yu's jokes, he had a hunch that things were not that simple. He had seen Lu Yu's performance in the previous preseason games, and he could definitely train him as the core of the team, not just a scorer.
He suddenly became a little curious about Lu Yu.
Will it be a scoring core?
Jordan thinks it's impossible. In today's league, it's difficult for a pure scoring core to lead a team to win without a good point guard.
The Wizards are an example, even though Jordan is playing small forward this season.
But in fact, he is a scoring core.
On October 30, the NBA regular season officially started. There were 12 games on this day. The Celtics won the Cavaliers 108:89, the Pistons 87-94 the Mavericks, the Hawks 84-89 the Rockets, and the Trail Blazers 87-98.
There are no Bulls games because the Bulls were so bad last season.
The Mavericks won, and Wang Zhizhi performed well. He scored 9 points and 7 rebounds in 13 minutes. Most importantly, he also had 4 assists. He seems to have found the rhythm of NBA confrontation.
The Wizards lost again. Just like in the preseason, they failed to win the game. The most important thing was that they lost to the Knicks.
You must know that almost no media is optimistic about the Knicks this season.
The NBA arranged for the Knicks to be the Wizards' first opponent in the hope that the Wizards could win their first victory, at least to look good.
As a result, the Wizards even lost face.
It was on this day that Jessica came to Lu Yu's home in Chicago.
Looking at the clean room, Jessica pointed to the locked door: "Lu, why is this room locked?"
"Oh, this is the room used by the landlord to lock up miscellaneous items."
"Really?"
Jessica's voice rose significantly.
"Of course, by the way, Jessica, where are you staying today?"
Lu Yu said with a smile that he couldn't tell Jessica that the room belonged to Annie.
Jessica was interrupted by Lu Yu and did not ask further questions: "Of course I am staying in a hotel. My uncle told me before coming here that I can't just stay at other boys' houses."
"I'm not another boy. I think you can sleep with me."
"Bah, you are so beautiful."
When the two were noisy, the doorbell rang suddenly. Lu Yu walked over and opened the door, only to see Charlize Theron standing outside.
