Chapter 158 Post-match interview, high emotional intelligence Lu Yu
Back in the dressing room, Lu Yu first called Jessica and asked her to go home and take a shower to wait for him.
Then I called Annie again and asked her about the audition, mainly to confirm that she was still in New York and not back to Chicago.
Lu Yu's father, Lu Chaoyang, also called and said that the restaurant will open another branch recently. There are too many people coming to eat and it is too busy. Recently, he is thinking of opening a branch in Chicago.
If it weren't for the fact that today was Lu Yu's first regular season game and he won again, Lu Chaoyang wouldn't have had time to call him.
Lu Yu simply took a shower and came out. Coach Floyd called him to his side and said: "Lu, you and I will go to the press conference later. Be humble and don't say too much about looking forward to the future, otherwise the media will praise you."
Kill you...forget it, you know the media better than me."
Floyd originally wanted to remind Lu Yu as a newcomer, but halfway through he remembered that Lu Yu was the boss of one of the most influential sports media outlets in the United States at this time.
While others play golf to make money and make a living, Lu Yu plays golf purely as a side job.
"Thank you, I will deal with it carefully." Lu Yu smiled.
Lu Yu's response finally made Freud feel a little more balanced.
At the press conference, Lu Yu became the focus of the audience. Brad Miller had the best data, but his data of 3010 was not unusual for a star player, especially since Lu Yu took a large part of the credit for this data.
, so it was big news that Lu Yu, the second overall pick, scored 27 points, 6 assists, 2 steals and 5 rebounds in the first game.
What's more, anyone who is not blind can see that the key to the outcome of this game lies in Lu Yu's performance during the time he played.
Lu Yu is the first rookie to perform dazzlingly this year, and he obviously has more gimmicks.
Reporters asked Freud to comment on Lu Yu's performance.
Floyd said: "His performance surprised me. He was better than what I saw in the preseason. I am willing to give him a chance to perform, and I am also willing to see him help the team."
The reporter asked: "Can Lu Yu lead the team into the playoffs?"
"Entering the playoffs is the goal of all our team's players and coaches. As long as Lu Yu performs well, it will definitely be a great help for the team to enter the playoffs. I think I need to design a few sets of tactics specifically for him."
Floyd did not fall for the reporter's trick. The reporter asked Lu Yu if he could lead the team into the playoffs. However, it will definitely not be Lu Yu, a rookie, who leads the team at the moment. No matter how strong Lu Yu is, he is still just a rookie.
He is just a rookie. Historically, there are very few rookies who can let the team's original core players step aside in their rookie season.
Vince Carter counts as one,
The Raptors only officially joined the NBA family in 1995. In the first three years, Damon Stoudemire was the undoubted number one star in the team until Carter joined in 1998!
In fact, in 1997, McGrady had already received stable playing time and a starting position. However, after Carter joined in 1998, McGrady returned to the bench. Therefore, Carter not only squeezed out Damon Stoudemire, but also indirectly
Stealing cousin McGrady’s growth resources!
As strong as Iverson, he didn't defeat his competitors in the first year.
Stackhouse was the third overall pick in 1995. He only entered the NBA one year earlier than Iverson.
In the 1995-96 season, Stackhouse's statistics were 19.2 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.9 assists. Logically speaking, these statistics are quite good!
But who made the 76ers choose another offensive guard in 1996?
Stackhouse competed with Iverson for two consecutive years from 1996 to 1998. In the end, Iverson won. Stackhouse lost and was traded to the Detroit Pistons!
There is another player who became the boss of the team in his rookie season, and that is O'Neal.
Scott was the No. 4 pick in the first round of 1990. In fact, the Magic only joined the NBA in 1989. Before O'Neal, Scott was the best player selected by the Magic!
In the 1991-92 season, Scott averaged 19.9 points per game. However, after O'Neal joined in 1992, Scott had no choice but to step aside and give way to others!
In the 1992-93 season, O'Neal, a freshman, was selected into the All-Star starting lineup that year with 23.4 points, 13.9 rebounds and 3.5 blocks!
Speaking of this kind of list record, I have to mention the old gangster again.
What a coincidence, they are also the Bulls.
Original team boss: Quintin Daly!
Daly was the Bulls' starting shooting guard before Jordan. In the 1983-84 season, Daly's statistics were 18.2 points, 3.1 assists and 1.3 steals. However, after Jordan joined in 1984, Daly was directly relegated to the sidelines and was substituted in all 79 games throughout the season.
In just one summer, Daly went from being the boss of the team to being the team's substitute. You can imagine how big the gap is!
In his rookie season, Jordan was already like no one on the court!
But Jordan is Jordan after all. In his first year as a rookie, Jordan scored 28.2 points, 6.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 2.4 steals. He became an All-Star starter and was selected to the All-NBA second team. So after encountering such an opponent, Daly had no choice but to do so.
He shook his head and sat on the bench with peace of mind!
So what Freud said can be regarded as protecting Lu Yu.
Brad Miller praised Lu Yu in an interview: "Believe me, I have never seen such an outstanding rookie player. In my eyes, he is a combination of Kobe and Allen. Well, maybe
I have to add t-mac, I like him, he will surpass me sooner or later."
The reporter asked: "Do you think Lu Yu will become the leader of this team?"
"There is no doubt." Brad Miller replied: "Maybe in the near future, you will find that he has become the leader of this team, but before that, I think I can cover the wind for him.
rain."
Freud frowned slightly when he heard this.
I have to admit that Brad Miller is very smart. He clearly knows that he, like Lu Yu, is just a monk from outside. Perhaps the reason why he became the boss of the team is because there are no tigers in the mountain.
King, sooner or later the owner will change.
Brad just wants a nice statistic and a generous annual salary. As for whether he is the boss of the team, he doesn't care.
He doesn't really want to be the boss either.
Compared with Freud's cautiousness, he was more generous and disclosed his thoughts to the media early and also disclosed his thoughts to Lu Yu.
"Don't worry, pass the ball to me. I only want the data. The future of the team is yours. I won't steal it!"
This is what he wanted to say to Lu Yu.
The reporter focused on interviewing Lu Yu, and the first question was difficult to answer: "Your first career statistics were much better than Michael Jordan's. How do you think you compare with him?"
Michael Jordan's first official game in the NBA was on October 26, 1984. In a game against the Washington Bullets, now the Wizards, Jordan scored 16 points, 7 assists and 6 rebounds.
We have to say that the miracle of fate is that more than ten years later, Jordan actually made a comeback with the Wizards.
If Lu Yu said that he was happy to have more data than Jordan, the media would say that Lu Yu did not take Jordan seriously. Those big media were fine, but those small media were not so moral. This is why Floyd reminded Lu Yu to
For a more modest reason, however, it seems that the most unscrupulous media is the magazine owned by Lu Yu.
Lu Yu thought for a while and said: "I think there is no comparison. The era in which Jordan lived was fierce enough, and the centers in that era were all over the world. The ball rights were more in the hands of interior players. Our team does not
Likewise, Brad is a good boss. He gave me enough ball rights, allowing me to score as I wanted. I was able to score so many points thanks to Brad and my teammates for their tolerance of me."
There was a burst of laughter in the venue. Lu Yu's answer can be said to be of extremely high emotional intelligence.
He not only acknowledged that Brad was the team leader, but also praised Jordan's difficulty in scoring in that environment. In fact, the more terrifying thing about Lu Yu's statistics is his efficiency, 100% shooting rate, let alone a rookie or an outside shooter.
, even an inside giant like O'Neal can't guarantee that he can score this score with a 100% shooting rate.
Lu Yu saw his position clearly, and after taking over Brad's flattery to him, he flattered him directly, making the media immediately feel the harmonious atmosphere within the Bulls team.
Brad was also very happy after hearing this. He felt that Lu Yu was still very sensible, unlike Marcus Fezer who always wanted to pull him down. He didn't know that the two of them were not in the same position. Pulling him down would be harmful to him.
what is the benefit!
The reporter asked: "Do you want to be the Rookie of the Year this year?"
"Of course, I have answered this question many times. I not only want to be the best rookie, but also want to be an All-Star player. I know it is difficult. There are many people in the league who are much better than me, but..." Lu Yudun
After a moment, he said seriously: "There is someone behind me!"
There was another burst of laughter in the venue. The previous words seemed that Lu Yu was very crazy, but the last sentence changed the flavor, because Lu Yu said very wildly that he wanted to become an All-Star, not because of his ability, but because of the people behind him.
Anyone?
Everyone tacitly agrees, but who doesn’t know that now that Lu Yu is backed by the huge Chinese market, China has a huge population base, and one person casts one vote, Lu Yu may easily become an All-Star.
A reporter asked: "Reggie Miller pushed you on your last possession today. What do you think of that?"
At this time, all the reporters cheered up.
If the interviews just now were all about the Bulls' prospects and internal news, then this question is the most eye-catching key to this game.
Reggie Miller is the famous "Mr. Clutch" in the NBA. He once scored 57 points in a game, and also scored 8 consecutive points in a miraculous comeback in 8.9 seconds at the end of the game. He is known as "Mr. Miller".
"moment".
He was selected to the NBA All-Star team 5 times in his NBA career.
Reggie Miller won the championship twice on behalf of the U.S. national team at the 1994 World Basketball Championship in Toronto and the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.
He is the veteran of Dream Team 2 and Dream Team 3.
For such a legendary player to cheat on a rookie during the game, it is a bit unjustifiable no matter what.
"He pushed me?"
Lu Yu said in surprise: "When did basketball stop pushing people? Isn't this a normal aerial confrontation? If Reggie Miller made a layup at that time, I would also knock him to the ground. This is
It's part of basketball, and I will push harder than him, at least not let him score the ball. Obviously, Reggie relented."
I don’t know who took the lead in applauding at the scene. Yes, isn’t confrontation a part of basketball?
When Jordan dared to enter the penalty area, he would be elbowed to the ground by bad boys. Isn't it more violent than this? Since when did a slight push become a serious problem?
The reporters originally expected Lu Yu to condemn Reggie Miller, but when Lu Yu said this, they felt that he was making a fuss out of a molehill. Is it necessary for a very ordinary episode to be put online?
On the other side, Reggie Miller, who was preparing to be interviewed, heard Lu Yu's answer. He was stunned at first, and then stretched out his arm to Lu Yu when Lu Yu walked out of the interview room.
Lu Yu smiled and stretched out his arm, and the two of them bumped shoulders.
Sometimes, friendships on the court are established without saying a word.
As soon as he walked out of the interview room, Lu Yu's cell phone rang. After answering the call, Jessica's shy voice came from the phone.
