The press conference of the Chinese men’s basketball team ended successfully.
The other team members had to prepare for the Asian Games, so they couldn't be as chic as Lu Yu. As soon as the press conference ended, Lu Yu was nowhere to be seen, and even when Wang Fei called him, his phone was turned off.
Where did Lu Yu go?
In fact, I didn’t go very far, I just went to Dongdan, where Kobe held Adidas’ China tour.
Lu Yu is the spokesperson of Anta, so of course he will not appear as a guest at Adidas events.
However, he met an acquaintance at the scene.
Ye Tian.
Ye Tian and Wu You originally came to watch Kobe Bryant's China tour event. At this time, they were not famous enough to be invited to the event, so they could only watch from a distance like ordinary fans.
Along with them were other members of CL, Cheng Chi, Dai Jin, Wang Cong, Zhou Xiaozhou, and Li Yan.
These people are all veteran players in the BJ streetball circle.
Wu You's battle to become famous was in Dongdan. In this year's Nike 3V3 game, Wu You's team had lost to the same opponent for three consecutive years. At that time, he was not the main player. Wu You was sent on when the team fell behind by 6 points.
He gritted his teeth and told his teammates, "I must win." As a result, he hit 3 three-pointers in a row, completing a great reversal.
Wang Cong left two more legendary experiences in Dongdan: smashing rebounds and Dongdan kiss.
Dongdan's kiss sounds romantic, but in fact, when he was trying to dunk between the two of them, he lost control of his center of gravity and fell to the ground, unconscious on the spot. Fortunately, the accident only left two scars on Wang Cong's head.
.
But the two of them are definitely not the trump cards of CL now.
CL's trump cards are Li Yan, Zhou Xiaozhou and the big devil Cheng Chi.
Next to the artillery compound where Wang Cong and Wu You lived was the navy compound. The navy compound was the birthplace of Huang Pinjie, the former captain of the Chinese basketball team, and Lu Delai, who taught the Foshan Dragons and Lions many years later.
Lu Delai took in a disciple named Zhou Xiaozhou in the courtyard.
Zhou Xiaozhou is a legend among the younger generation in the military compound. His dribbling force alone can make opponents frightened. It is a pity that Wu You did not touch him when he was fighting in nearby yards, because he is four years older than Wu You.
When Yu was in high school, he had already gone to college in Shougang Economic and Trade University.
Another ace is Li Yan, a legend in the basketball circle of Capital Normal University, from the Fine Arts Department. Legend has it that he can shoot as accurately as a bug, and his golfers call him "Michael Lee."
At that time, Li Yan had the hair style of Hisashi Mitsui, and he liked to talk trash on the court, saying how I am going to pass this ball and how you are going to score it, and then just throw the ball in.
One day, Zhou Xiaozhou from the Capital Economic and Trade University went to the Capital Normal University to challenge himself and happened to meet Li Yan.
Zhou Xiaozhou has good physical fitness, is very skilled in all kinds of dribbling, and has good waist and abdominal strength. He can stay in the air for a long time. Many players from the First Normal University can't do anything to him. Fortunately, Li Yan is here.
Li Yan defeated Zhou Xiaozhou and his team several times with his precise shooting. After all, Zhou Xiaozhou went there by himself, and his teammates were all on the team and couldn't keep up with his state.
Later, there was a saying in the grassroots basketball circles: The only one who could compete with Li Yan from the Capital Normal University was Zhou Xiaozhou from the Capital Economic and Trade University.
As for Cheng Chi, he is different from them. They are wild boys. Cheng Chi is a serious CUBA player. Cheng Chi won almost all the MVPs in the Capital High School League since he was a child. After entering Peking University and playing for CUBA for three years, he won the championship in the Adidas Summer League.
He went to Urban Legends to compete with the National Youth League's third youngster, and he attracted attention wherever he went.
Anyone familiar with CUBA knows that he was the scoring champion of Peking University back then.
The most important thing is that he only came into contact with basketball when he was 16 years old. He trained for three months and became the main player of the school team. If he had trained so many years earlier, he would definitely have the opportunity to play professionally.
A few of them originally came to see Kobe Bryant's China trip, but they met Lu Yu here.
Even though Lu Yu was wearing a mask and hat, he was still recognized by Ye Tian who saw him. Lu Yu could only make a hissing gesture to Ye Tian immediately.
"Lu... why are you here?" Ye Tian said in a low voice, and then poked Wu You beside him.
Wu You was also stunned for a moment, and then several people around him gathered around.
None of them said anything.
"I came over to see how Kobe Bryant's trip to China was going," Lu Yu said with a smile.
"Hey, that's it. Just play a couple of balls and it's fun. To put it bluntly, it's not about selling shoes." Ye Tian curled his lips.
Lu Yu knew that when NBA stars come to China for activities, especially in the past two years, they basically have to maintain some mystery and cannot interact happily with fans like they do in the United States. This is a bad habit brought about by Michael Jordan.
When Jordan came to China to do activities, he basically came and went in a hurry. Even if he held a training camp, he would not teach people how to play, but he taught many people how to sell shoes.
In fact, this trick worked really well. The hook successfully shaped Jordan's image as the God of Basketball. He was a man who did not eat fireworks from the world, and his status was sacred and inviolable in the hearts of fans.
But is this really the case?
The Jordan that Lu Yu knew was vindictive, stingy, mean, capricious, lustful, a bad gambler, and a bad talker.
But we didn’t recruit people, and they set it up well.
Just like Allen Iverson is so popular today, even Wu You's gutter head and the jersey he wears three sizes too big are all imitations of Iverson.
How is Iverson doing in the NBA?
Except for winning one game at the hands of the Lakers last year and creating a tragic image, his performance as a team leader was as bad as shit.
I have a bunch of horse boys. I like to gamble a lot when I have nothing to do. If I lose money, I will find a way to do a series of activities to make a fortune. I accept any endorsements. I don’t care whether my sneakers are good or not. I keep recommending them to others.
My own fans, don’t you have any idea how much it hurts you when you wear those crappy Reeboks?
Anyway, most NBA stars come to China to sell shoes.
Kobe was no exception at this time.
Adidas specially created an aloof persona for Kobe, asking him to smile as little as possible in front of the fans, so that more fans would fall in love with this characterful Kobe.
Lu Yu pursed his lips, looked at a few people and said, "I'm not going to ruin Kobe's scene. Once their activities are over, how about you help me organize a fan event?"
Wu You was stunned for a moment, and several people looked at each other: "Of course, no problem."
Lu Yu doesn't want to mess with Kobe, but he wants Kobe to know what kind of activities are worthy of a trip to China, otherwise it will be boring to come to China in the future.
Kobe Bryant's China trip is coming to an end.
When the host there announced that the event was over and Kobe was about to leave under the escort of bodyguards, a loud microphone sound suddenly sounded from another stadium in Dongdan.
"Fans, you must have never imagined that there is another NBA star coming to Dongdan today, and that is our Chinese Men's Basketball Team - Lu Yu!"
When Wu You shouted Lu Yu's name loudly, the fans in the stadium were excited and they all rushed to another stadium.
Kobe was stunned, Lu Yu is here?
In order not to cause chaos, Wu You and others had already found some security guards in advance, but there were still too many fans and the scene was a little chaotic. Fortunately, at this time, Kobe asked their security guards to come over to help and the problem was solved.
Kobe came over.
Lu Yu smiled.
"How did you come?"
"Nonsense, this is China, I am Chinese, this is the right question for me to ask you."
"I'm going to do an activity."
"Looks like we're not having much fun, how about we play a game to warm up the event?"
"OK!"
Lu Yu took the microphone and said to all the fans: "Come on, Kobe and I will each choose three people to play a three-on-three game for everyone. I hope everyone can watch the game quietly. We have fun playing. You can see
How about being happy?"
"good!"
The fans in the audience responded loudly.
Kobe didn't care. He had already completed Adi's activity arrangements. As for this game, it was completely Lu Yu's personal behavior. He was just here to have fun as a friend.
Lu Yu chose Cheng Chi and Zhou Xiaozhou, and directly helped Kobe choose Wu You and Li Yan. As for Ye Tian and Dajin, they could only watch with helpless eyes.
No, Ye Tian became a live host.
As a guest from afar, Lu Yu asked Kobe Bryant to serve first, Wu You dribbled the ball, and Li Yan set a pick-and-roll for him. Zhou Xiaozhou stuck to him tightly. After being unable to break through, he chose to stop and lob the ball to him.
Kobe Bryant.
The matchup between Kobe and Lu Yu!
The fans in the audience had already begun to boo loudly. The atmosphere was completely different from the one when Kobe was just doing the activity. Kobe also felt the blood in his body boiling, and he leaned in with all his strength.
When he and Lu Yu collided, they obviously felt that they couldn't hit each other.
How long had it passed before Lu Yu's strength increased again?
He didn't know that Lu Yu's current breathing technique had improved a lot after the World Championships.
The current data on the system panel is:
[Host: Lu Yu]
[Water breathing method: 89%]
[Thunder Breathing Technique: 86%]
[Fire Breathing Method: 73%]
[Wind breathing method: 60%]
[Rock breathing method: 13%]
In other words, the Breathing of the Rock method is growing too slowly, and there is probably still a lack of confrontation. It will probably be about the same when playing inside in the future.
It would be a good idea to play small forward next season and switch defenses with the power forward if you have nothing to do.
Kobe didn't move, immediately turned around, accelerated from the other side, and collided with Lu Yu again.
Only then did the fans at the scene realize that an NBA-level confrontation was actually such a powerful thing. If you hit an ordinary person, you would not be admitted to the hospital?
Cheng Chi on the field was also secretly stunned. He originally thought that he was half-professional, but now it seems that he is far from professional.
In fact, he thinks too much, and he is really not far away from his career.
It's just that the levels of Lu Yu and Kobe are too high.
Kobe turned over, leaned back, floated far away, and threw the ball. The little blacksmith rarely took it seriously and actually made the shot.
Lu Yu can't let him be the best alone. After Wu You's shot missed the basket, he immediately dribbled the ball out of the three-point line, and then directly hit a three-pointer, piercing Yang with a hundred steps!
The two teams were playing in full swing, and the fans below were mesmerized to watch.
The atmosphere at the scene reached its peak again and again with the shouts of the host Ye Tian who was responsible for setting the atmosphere.
After the game, Kobe smiled.
Because they finally won the game by one point.
21 to 20!
This is an activity, and this kind of activity is fun.
After the game, the two men gave a unique basketball training class to many fans at Dongdan Stadium. From shot selection to running without the ball, it can be said that the two men taught a lot about basketball.
Lu Yu and Kobe also taught Wu You and the others some simple and practical one-on-one skills.
They are now too obsessed with Iverson, especially Wu You, whose playing moves are flashy. Zhou Xiaozhou also likes to make blind luck. Lu Yu and Kobe have taught them to play more efficiently and practically.
Then there are some simple interactive links.
Ye Tian asked: "Do you think players who play streetball have a chance to finally embark on a professional path?"
Lu Yu translated for Kobe.
Kobe thought for a while and answered in English: "There is a chance, but in addition to improving physical fitness and skills, we should focus more on understanding techniques and tactics. Streetball is often very simple, and the biggest difference between professional and streetball is
The difference is not in skills or physical fitness, but in the use and understanding of tactics."
Lu Yu translated his words, and then added himself: "Whether you are playing street ball or playing professionally, it is all because of your love for basketball. I hope that all fans can love basketball as always. When you love basketball enough
, even if you can't play professionally, you are still heroes on the court."
"Maybe your generation can't play professionally, but you can train your children. Chinese basketball needs fresh blood. You can't expect me to play for a lifetime. Your children may be the next Lu Yu, or even the next Yao Ming."
ah!"
Lu Yu's words caused laughter in the audience.
Yao Ming was not present but Lu Yu made a joke. He could only say that he was shot while lying down.
But Lu Yu is telling the truth. The reason why a sport can become a strong team in the world must have a good atmosphere. Only when more and more people love basketball can more outstanding players be cultivated.
Of course, a good training system and high-level coaches at the grassroots level are also indispensable.
This is a long way to go, but having a good atmosphere is where it all starts.
Ye Tian smiled and said: "If you say this, we who play street ball will gain confidence. We also want to ask, Lu Yu, who is better in terms of physical fitness, you or Kobe?"
Kobe pointed at Lu Yu.
There is no doubt that he knows that Lu Yu's physical fitness is better than his. Whether it is jumping, speed, core strength, or even height, he can't compare to Lu Yu. You say it's annoying or not.
Lu Yu shook his head and explained: "Actually, the comparison of physical fitness is meaningless. Didn't I still lose to Kobe's Lakers this year? Playing basketball is not all about the comparison of physical fitness. Although they say basketball is a sport for big men, it is
Like I said, basketball is for five people, so it’s impossible for all five on the court to be centers, right?"
"Of course, physical fitness determines the level at which you can play. I can play in the NBA, and my body has helped me a lot."
Alas, it's actually a plug-in.
However, physical fitness is also very important. For example, Yi Jianlian was directly attracted by Mark Foyou because of his good physical fitness. You must know that Yi Jianlian's skills at that time were really average.
But for ordinary people, they don't have such abnormal physical fitness.
Such words can't help but make them a little discouraged.
Lu Yu signaled everyone to be quiet, and then said: "Good physical fitness can actually be cultivated the day after tomorrow. Even if you can't reach the professional level, it's no problem if you want to improve one or two steps. Talent is one thing, and you must also train hard.
No matter how good your physical fitness is, it will be in vain if you don’t work hard. In fact, there are many players with excellent physical fitness in our country, but they are not hard enough. As long as they work hard, ordinary street ball players will definitely be able to play professionally, and professional players will definitely be able to enter higher levels.
League!”
In Chinese basketball, many players don’t work hard enough...
In this event, Lu Yu not only made Kobe Bryant feel how to do activities in China to be happier, but also taught all fans a lesson, and this lesson is also regarded as a golden lesson by many CBA coaches.
In the next few days, Lu Yu went on to do several brand endorsement activities.
Then he was preparing to fly to the United States, hiding from the limelight for a few days. Things should be calm there, and his second NBA season is about to begin.
