The tactics that I worked hard to prepare for several days turned out to be in vain.
How he hopes that the Kings will win the Western Conference championship, so that if the Bulls play the Kings in the Finals, he can ask Phil Jackson for advice on how to defeat the Kings.
What should we do now?
You can't call the Zen Master: "Old Fei, do you think there is any way our Bulls can defeat your Lakers?"
He could imagine that the Zen master would yell at him and be so shameless and irritable.
This kind of behavior is equivalent to asking the Zen Master, I think sister Jenny is very good-looking, please help me make an appointment with her and see if she is available one night.
"Who will win in the finals!"
"Chinese players entered the NBA Finals for the first time."
"The showdown between Kobe and Lu Yu!"
For a time, the finals detonated the Chinese basketball market, and the NBA also began to vigorously promote this finals. For NBA president David Stern, this is a rare opportunity to expand the Chinese market.
Due to the attention of countless fans, some basketball commentators compared the data of Lu Yu and Kobe.
Although the core of the Lakers is O'Neal, Lu Yu is on the outside, and the two are good friends in the industry, so this time the gimmick alliance is still focused on Lu Yu and Kobe.
Of course, there are also gimmicks to be had between Brad Miller and O'Neal.
It's just that David Stern doesn't want them to fight in the finals.
Kobe is currently averaging 38.3 minutes per game, scoring 25.2 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.4 steals, and 2.9 turnovers, shooting 46.9% from the field, 25% from the three-point range, and 82.9% from the free throw line.
Looking at Lu Yu, he only played 33 minutes per game, scoring 25.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, 9.7 assists, 1.9 steals, and 2.1 turnovers. He shot 57% from the field, 42.3% from the three-point range, and 92.8% from the free throw line.
The 180 Club.
From the data point of view, Lu Yu has higher offensive efficiency and more assists, but this is when Lu Yu is the boss of the team and Kobe is only the second in charge of the Lakers.
However, Kobe's three-point shooting percentage is a bit ridiculously low.
He is worthy of his title of little blacksmith.
After watching it, Lakers fans feel that this data comparison does not affect the result of the game at all, because the Bulls' strongest player is Lu Yu, but Lu Yu's data is only slightly better than Kobe, but the Lakers still have O'Neal, plus
O'Neal, the balance of strength between the two teams is directly tilted.
When predicting the outcome of the Finals online, almost everyone believes that the Lakers will win the championship. The only suspense is how many points the Bulls will lose and how many games the series will be played.
Stern has a headache. He doesn't want the Bulls to be easily solved by the Lakers like the 76ers last year. If Iverson hadn't fought for a victory in G1 last year, the ratings would have been dismal and no one would have wanted to watch.
But judging from the current situation, it seems that the Bulls really can't beat the Lakers.
With a huge gap in strength, it would be very difficult to control the field like the Lakers and Kings in the Western Conference Finals.
On June 5, the Bulls flew to Los Angeles.
They found an arena in advance for adaptive training, and a reporter interviewed Lu Yu after the Bulls training.
"Lu, you have entered the finals and are only one step away from winning the championship you said at the beginning of the season. Are you confident that you can defeat the powerful Lakers on the stage of the finals?"
"Of course, I am very confident. No matter how strong the opponent is, as long as I stand on the court, I am here to win."
The reporter asked again: "Kobe is your good friend. Did you talk on the phone before the game?"
Lu Yu shook his head: "No, I know he won't call me either. If we want to catch up on old times, we can wait until after the entire series is over. We have a whole offseason to catch up on old times, but in this round of the series,
We are rivals, and we will not compromise because of our personal feelings."
Lu Yu is telling the truth. Kobe's character is like this. Once the game starts, he will try his best. You can't play with each other while laughing and hugging each other. When you look at the score, the Bulls or the Lakers lost by 30 points. They
There is a bastard in the ACCCIM who will be scolded by the fans when he returns home.
Keeping a straight face and fighting with real swords and guns is the main theme of this series of games.
"What do you think of Kobe's strength?"
"..." Lu Yu thought for a moment and said flatly: "What do you think we can reach the finals?"
As an opponent, Lu Yu would not praise Kobe at this time.
Although he was once a big fan of Kobe Bryant - the iron here is the blacksmith's iron.
Kobe is indeed very good and talented. What Lu Yu admires the most is Kobe’s hard work, but Lu Yu feels that his efforts are no less than Kobe’s. Kobe may have entered the league a few years earlier, but since Lu Yu time traveled,
The amount of training every day is three times, five times or even ten times that of others. He is cheating, but the basis of his cheating is his dedication. Countless trainings have given him various court skills. He is cheating.
What makes up for it is the gap in physical talent between him and Kobe.
Of course, this trick also brought another benefit to Lu Yu.
Even under such high-intensity training, he is still less prone to injuries. In addition, his style of play focuses on shooting, and most of his breakthroughs are through passing the ball. It is rare to see Lu Yu dunking from behind.
Even Kobe, after years of training and high-intensity competition, couldn't stretch his fragile Achilles tendon in the end.
Therefore, the endurance of the body is absolutely guaranteed for Lu Yu's career and his attendance rate every season. At least in her first rookie season, she played 77 games in the regular season - five of which were eliminated.
Banned.
Kobe is an excellent player, but no outstanding player can maintain such high-intensity training in addition to playing 38 minutes per game every season. This is true whether it is the current Lakers head coach Phil Jackson or Mike
Brown, and later D'Antoni, didn't notice this, maybe they did, but they were so determined that they were willing to fuck Kobe to the death.
A blacksmith is not an iron man.
Cartwright knew that he felt sorry for Lu Yu and often gave Lu Yu enough rest time.
Sometimes I would even try to persuade Lu Yu to practice less, but that would be enough.
In the evening, Lu Chaoyang, Jessica, Mark Four, and Snoopy arrived in Los Angeles together. They will be on hand to support Lu Yu in the finals.
Lu Yu arranged for them to stay at the team's hotel and opened a room for them.
At lunch the next day, Jessica said that Lu Yu had arranged a lot of work for her and asked her to study finance and change her major.
Lu Chaoyang criticized him: "How can you make a girl so tired? Although Jessica is very capable, the money you earn can fully support Jessica. Wouldn't it be better to leave the work to professional managers?"
rest assured?"
Lu Yu sighed, the old man's speech is art.
It was originally Lu Chaoyang's request to let Jessica handle the accounts. As soon as Jessica complained, Lu Chaoyang immediately criticized Lu Yu.
The first sentence expressed concern that Jessica should not be too tired, the second sentence praised Jessica's outstanding abilities, the third sentence indirectly acknowledged Jessica's daughter-in-law's identity, and the fourth sentence raised Lu Yu's
worry.
Jessica felt very happy and waved her hands repeatedly saying that she was not tired and that she should share the pressure for Lu Yu.
Lu Yu also knew that Jessica just complained casually. Because of work, she and Lu Yu had to live in two places. She also knew what Lu Yu was thinking, but she was very smart and learned to play dumb.
But pretending to be stupid is not really stupid. She will fight for herself when she should fight for it, such as getting Lu Chaoyang's approval.
Unlike several other girls, Jessica is the first and currently the only daughter-in-law recognized by Lu Chaoyang.
Only Mark Four was still in the dark. Looking at the loving appearance of Jessica and Lu Yu, he lamented that his shining eyes had discovered Lu Yu, this dusty gem.
Snoopy muttered: "Scumbag!"
Jessica asked Lu Yu in a low voice: "We have a game tonight, will you be nervous? I understand that the Lakers are too strong and it will be difficult for you to win the game."
It's not that Jessica wants to say depressing words before the game, she just tells the objective facts.
"It's because they are very strong that I don't have any psychological burden." Lu Yu said with a smile: "I just want to enjoy this game and strive to play well. The coach said that he will give me unlimited firing rights and let me be free.
Play.”
"Then you can't hit me randomly!" Jessica reminded.
Lu Yu glanced at her sideways: "You seem to talk a bit too much today. Why do I feel that you are more nervous than me?"
"Tch, I'm not nervous."
Jessica pouted and said.
But she was really nervous, not because Lu Yu was going to participate in the finals, but because she was recognized by Lu Chaoyang for the first time today, and she was afraid that she would not perform well in front of Lu Chaoyang.
Jessica asked in a mysterious whisper: "Did you really not know how to play basketball before? I heard from my uncle that you only started practicing basketball in your last year of high school. I didn't believe in genius before, but
I have never heard of your situation."
"Duncan didn't start playing until he was 14?"
Duncan didn't start playing basketball until he was 14 years old. Before that, he practiced swimming. He swam very happily at that time.
His sisters all competed in the Olympics, and he wanted to go as well.
When his mother died, he didn't want to swim anymore.
After the island where Duncan lived was devastated by a hurricane that year, his passion for swimming faded.
His classmate, his brother-in-law, started teaching him how to play basketball.
His foundation was very poor. He thought he would go back to practice swimming after playing basketball for a while, but the basketball season seemed to never end.
It was through such a mistake that Duncan embarked on the road of basketball.
"You're later than Duncan."
Jessica curled her lips and suddenly changed the subject and said: "In Chicago, I saw your female neighbor, Charlize Theron, who is quite beautiful. Nothing happened to you..."
Before Jessica could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Lu Yu.
"I don't even know her."
"And that actress in New York, Scarlett Johansson, she praised you like a flower in front of the media."
"She, I met her when we were filming at Gonzaga. If you don't believe me, ask Lao Lu. They had dinner at Lu Ji."
Jessica didn't notice that Lu Yu was talking about them.
It was only after Lu Yu finished speaking that he realized that he had made a mistake.
Lu Chaoyang glared at Lu Yu and said with a wry smile: "Yes, that girl Scarlett was a Gonzaga fan before."
I have no choice but to plug the hornet's nest that my son has created.
Who knew that if I was so honest and honest, I would be born with such a thing.
Snoopy came to the rescue and said in a loud voice: "It's rare for everyone to gather in Los Angeles. Come on, let's cheer. Lu, when will the offseason end? Take me back to China for a trip. I like Chinese dumplings very much...
…”
The topic was diverted just like that.
Jessica smiled, she just wanted to tell Lu Yu that she didn't know everything.
In fact, there are many things she doesn't know. At least she doesn't know about Annie's existence yet.
After finishing their meal, they walked out of the box. The business of the Los Angeles branch of Lu Ji Chinese Restaurant also started to become popular because the Bulls entered the finals.
"so many people?"
Lu Chaoyang frowned and said.
Lu Yu raised his head. They came earlier and asked the kitchen to make arrangements in advance. They were afraid of being surrounded by fans when there were many people. With so many people now, it was obvious that they had to be fully armed before they could go out.
"I didn't expect there would be so many people at lunch..."
The general manager in charge of the branch was sweating.
Lu Yu just wanted to say it didn't matter, but he didn't say it because he saw a familiar figure.
Scarlett Johansson.
She was getting out of the car and preparing to walk into the restaurant.
"It's over, why does she appear here?"
Scarlett Johansson most likely came to Lu Ji for dinner. She must have wanted to watch Lu Yu's finals tonight. Lu Yu told her that the tickets were gone, but she forgot that a ticket is only a small amount of money for Scarlett.
.
"Jessica, the girl in front seems to be the female star who has always supported Gonzaga."
It happened that at this time, Mark Foyou, who had good eyesight, also discovered it, but he didn't know about Lu Yu and Scarlett.
"Yeah?"
Jessica slowly raised her head and looked out the door.
Lu Yu's heart tugged violently.
Lu Yu knew that Jessica might have vaguely guessed that there was something going on between him and Scarlett, but he guessed that she would definitely not be able to bear seeing her in person, especially when she was just admitted by Lu Chaoyang today.
When the two people meet, according to Scarlett's character, Jessica will definitely be irritated.
If this fight happened in a restaurant, it would be worse than a Shura field.
Lu Yu couldn't even imagine what kind of accident would happen at that moment.
"Hey, that person seems to be Lu Yu!"
I don't know which well-meaning fan suddenly shouted.
In an instant, all the fans in the restaurant were in commotion, surrounding Lu Yu and blocking Jessica's sight and attention from looking out the door.
Snoopy tried hard to protect Lu Yu.
"Manager, is there any other exit?" Lu Yu asked quickly.
"There is a back door." The restaurant manager replied quickly.
"Snoopy, arrange for the driver to pick us up at the back exit. Jessica, let's evacuate first."
After saying that, Lu Yu hugged Jessica and ran in the direction pointed by the manager. A group of fans chased behind him, but they were blocked by bodyguards and staff.
While he was escaping, Lu Yu glanced in Scarlett's direction.
Thank God, Scarlett hadn't entered the restaurant yet. She just saw the commotion in the restaurant and was worried that something would go wrong, so she hid in the car. After all, she was also a public figure.
Going out the back door, the nanny car driven by the driver was already parked there.
"Okay, we're already in the car, don't hug me anymore."
Jessica's pretty face turned red.
Lu Yu kept hugging her so that she couldn't even turn around to see if she was being chased behind her.
"It's safe, it's okay."
Lu Yuxiao let go of his hand, but being interrupted by the fans, Mark Foyo forgot about the female star supporting Gonzaga, and Jessica also forgot what she wanted to watch just now.
But Shura Field still exists, and Scarlett still wants to watch the finals that night.
As long as the two people meet in the finals, it will be very difficult for Lu Yu to feel at ease in this finals.
What a sin!
Therefore, men should still control their lower body. Sometimes, don’t underestimate this kind of thing, it will really affect your career.
The car drove slowly towards the hotel.
"Jessica, I think you should not watch this finals."
Lu Yu said after considering it.
"Why?"
Jessica was a little strange: "Isn't it agreed before that I go to the game?"
Mark Four is also waiting for a reason.
Lu Yu said calmly: "You must have been photographed by the fans today. When you appeared on the sidelines of the finals, the media will definitely get wind of it. The person behind the magazine company, brokerage company and catering company will definitely be you in the future. You are a girl."
It’s definitely not safe if it’s exposed.”
The public security in the United States is not good, especially those rich who are surrounded by layers of bodyguards.
Even when Lu Yu goes out, he always brings three or four bodyguards with him.
The issue of safety made Jessica's face turn a little pale, and she became serious. She changed from the little woman next to Lu Yu to a strong woman at work.
She is behind the scenes and can do many things freely.
If he is exposed, he will need bodyguards when he comes in and out, and he will not be able to successfully complete his two years of studies.
"If your safety is threatened, I won't be able to feel at ease even if I play in the finals."
Lu Yu looked at Jessica affectionately: "You know, you are much more important to me than the finals."
Jessica was also very moved when she said this. After analyzing the pros and cons, especially considering that she still had two years to study, she could only nod: "Okay, I will watch the live broadcast in the hotel tonight.
, I will return to Spokane early tomorrow morning, and you can explain to the media that I am the niece of your former college head coach. The truth will not be exposed by the media. "
Lu Chaoyang and Mark Foyou also agreed with this suggestion.
Only Snoopy is still wondering in his heart, who is the female star Mark Foyo mentioned just now?
Scarlett?
Or Annie?
It must be one of them, otherwise Lu Yu wouldn't find a way to get Jessica away. When will Lu Yu, a scumbag, be more focused!
Lu Yu's expression did not change at all and remained calm and composed.
But my heart was still pounding.
He knew that no matter how tired he was from today's game, he would have to make up for Jessica when he came back in the evening. If he couldn't save his energy at night, he couldn't let Jessica come back empty-handed.
After getting off the bus, return to the hotel.
Lu Chaoyang and Mark Foyou were in the same room. Lu Chaoyang suddenly remembered what had just happened in the restaurant.
"By the way, Mark, who was the female celebrity you said you just saw supporting Gonzaga?"
"It's the one who was filming at Gonzaga, I think her name is...Scarlett?"
Lu Yu didn't expect that Lu Chaoyang would be able to recall this incident afterwards, but Lu Chaoyang just glanced out the window and said casually.
