Lu Yu declined invitations from the three-point contest and skills contest and chose to participate in this year's dunk contest.
This year's slam dunk contest originally failed to arouse the interest of fans because the other three contestants were Josh Smith, Amar'e Stoudemire, and Jr. Smith.
But when Lu Yu participated, everything became different.
This is the first time in Lu Yu’s career that he has participated in the slam dunk contest!
NBA officials are trying their best to involve fans in the event. This year's Masters Game during All-Star Weekend also invited many actors, singers and athletes from other sports.
For the slam dunk contest, there was even a prize-winning guessing activity for fans.
The slam dunk contests in the past few years have made fans feel that they were not interesting at all. This year is much more fun. Not only will they have the opportunity to take home the grand prize, but they will also have the opportunity to witness the league's first player in the dunk contest for the first time.
On February 21st, the All-Star Game officially kicked off at Madison Square Garden in New York City. What was embarrassing was that no New York Knicks player was selected. Team boss Alan Houston had been playing in and out since the beginning of the season, and others were not.
Yes, Lu Yu knew that Alan in his previous life chose to retire before the start of next season.
The Suns players came to New York early because many of them will participate in the All-Star Weekend this year.
Richardson competes in the three-point contest.
Nash competes in skills competition.
Lu Yu participated in the dunk contest.
In the All-Star Game, Nash, Marion and Lu Yu were all selected, so this year the Suns had a great harvest.
After Lu Yu came to New York, he was called out by Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi to find a place to eat Chinese food. In the end, after much selection, he chose Lu Ji Restaurant.
Lu Yu felt that they just didn't want to pay.
After dinner, they strolled around New York. It was rare that they were as leisurely as today. They usually come to New York and leave after playing games. While shopping, Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi unexpectedly discovered that Lu Yu seemed to be very familiar with the streets of New York.
Especially familiar with where the various hotels in New York are.
When you come to play a game with the Knicks, don't you stay in a hotel reserved by the team? Normally it doesn't change a few times a season, but Lu Yu seems to have stayed in all of them.
What left them speechless the most was that while strolling around, Lu Yu disappeared.
From now on, the three big men will never go out shopping again. They will be surrounded by fans and can't talk about it. It's not interesting. The key is that some people still leave their accounts. You don't like it or not.
Where did Lu Yu go?
Of course, I got a call from Scarlett Johansson. It’s rare to have a weekend off, so it’s okay to go and play games for a while.
During the All-Star Media Day event, Lu Yu became the star that most attracted the attention of fans and media. Reporters kept asking him about basketball topics and gossip questions. In this regard, American media are not as professional as Chinese media, which only focus on basketball.
A Chinese reporter asked about the upcoming collaboration with Yao Ming. How do you feel about it?
Lu Yu said: "Is it possible that we are all centers? Two centers on the court? Popovich's brain can't play like this. Isn't this short-sighted?"
The American reporter was not so polite: "Some media saw you and Scarlett Johansson dating yesterday. I would like to ask if you and Scarlett Johansson are in a relationship."
Lu Yu explained: "Scarlett? Are you talking about the famous actress Scarlett Johansson? She is really beautiful. If she is willing, I will be happy to fall in love with her, provided that yesterday she
You are dating me... If I really fall in love one day, I will definitely make it public."
He's always talking about cheating, and there are people out there who are saying that Lu Yu has a child.
But without evidence, no one knows whether it is true or false.
A reporter asked Lu Yu to comment on his opponent in the All-Star Game, Shaquille O'Neal.
Lu Yu said with a smile: "He is very powerful. He once dominated the league for a while, but time is like a butcher's knife. I'm not sure how much his offensive ability has declined now, but I am very sure that his defensive ability is declining significantly. I
I'm glad I didn't meet O'Neal in his prime, otherwise I might have been miserable."
In fact, the year Lu Yu first entered the league was O'Neal's peak period.
Even in the two seasons when Lu Yu won the championship, the Lakers' O'Neal was not far from the top.
O'Neal's real decline was in this season with the Heat, when his scoring average dropped directly below the 20-point mark, and instead of 19 points, it dropped to 17 points.
When he was 30 years old, he was still averaging 27.5 points and 11.1 rebounds per game.
In just 4 years, he fell from the ranks of first-tier players.
He is also 34 years old and a super giant in history. Why has O'Neal's data dropped so obviously?
In the 1990s, when the league's four major centers were at their peak, O'Neal emerged in the NBA, and many team managers also believed that those who play inside will win the world.
Therefore, NBA interiors at that time were purely physical combat. Although O'Neal was good at using his weight to simplify offensive movements to score, and he did not suffer major injuries in his career. However, he weighed 300 pounds and was in a state of internal combat for a long time.
, leading to an increase in physical load, and his condition will definitely show a downward trend after the peak age of his career.
You can think of O'Neal as a high-end version of Zion.
And it comes with more than one high-end configuration.
Another reason why O'Neal has declined the most is that he and Iverson have the same problem, they don't like to train.
Jordan, Kobe, James and Malone are all training madmen.
Kobe starts training at 4 a.m. every day, and James invests millions of dollars every year on healthy recipes. O'Neal has a humorous personality and does not like daily training.
O'Neal in Lu Yu's previous life once said: "During three consecutive championships, I knew that Kobe would train hard to improve himself, so I was lazy when I could."
In terms of diet, O'Neal is a famous foodie and eats at least five meals a day.
Lack of restraint in training and diet is also one of the main reasons why O'Neal cannot maintain his condition at the age of 34.
The Rookie Challenge starts on Friday,
The second-year team defeated the first-year team 113 to 107. Carmelo Anthony was suffocating in his heart. How come Wade and James were selected for the All-Star Game, but I still have to play in the Rookie Challenge.
In this game, he took advantage of the outside shot, performed well, and won the final mvp.
Yi Jianlian also performed well and is remarkable.
Moreover, Yi Jianlian's style of play reminds Zhang Weiping of Lu Yu last season. Rather than looking like Lu Yu, it is better to say that he looks like Wang Zhizhi, who has better physical fitness.
When playing power forward, Lu Yu discovered that his playing style was somewhat similar to Wang Zhizhi.
Otherwise, after Wang Zhizhi said he wanted to go to the Bulls, Lu Yu readily agreed, because Wang Zhizhi went to the Bulls and could directly take his place.
In the three-point contest on the second day, Richardson undoubtedly won the honor of the three-point king.
He is so accurate and his shooting speed is so fast that Lu Yu sometimes competes with him in three-point competitions and feels like he will lose if he doesn't pay attention.
Coincidentally, Nash won the skills competition.
All eyes are focused on the dunk contest to see if Lu Yu can win the dunk king. If Lu Yu wins, then all the honors this year will be taken away by the Suns.
Lu Yu was not polite and directly came out with a set of combos.
Griffin's leaping car, Gordon's leaping mascot hip-changing hand, Scorpion's tail swing dunk, and finally a Zach LaVine-style free throw line crotch-changing hand dunk.
Everyone, please go and try it soon.]
Stunning everyone.
Countless people exclaimed that watching Lu Yu's dunk was more shocking than watching Carter's dunk.
Lu Yu dunked this time, and within the next ten years, there would never be another good slam dunk contest.
There is no doubt that Lu Yu won the dunk king of this dunk contest.
The most important thing is that previous slam dunk kings would pay tribute to their predecessors. To put it nicely, it is a tribute to their predecessors. To put it badly, it means that they have not thought about how to dunk at all, and directly copied the creativity of their predecessors and gave it in the name of tribute. It is not considered plagiarism.
.
From the beginning to the end, all of Lu Yu's dunk moves are original, and there is no imitation at all.
The activities in the first two days are just appetizers, and on Sunday, the Eastern and Western All-Star Game will be held.
The training venues for the Eastern and Western All-Star Teams were next to each other. Even though the other players belonged to the Eastern and Western Conferences, they all greeted each other, except Kobe and O'Neal, who ignored each other.
The relationship between the two of them was at loggerheads, and everyone in the entire alliance knew about it.
In the past, because we were in the same team, the two of us had restrained ourselves, but now we belong to different camps, so we simply stopped pretending. I just don’t like you, so what can you do?
It's hard to tell who is right between them.
Lu Yu chatted with Kobe for a few words, and Kobe also invited Lu Yu to join the Lakers. Lu Yu was a little moved, but if he went to the Lakers, who would be the boss?
This is a problem.
Kobe seems to be stimulated now and wants to prove himself very much.
More or less, there is Lu Yu's reason for it.
Lu Yu put too much pressure on him. Kobe never knew that he would lose to his peers, and he never thought that when he was just at his peak, he would lose to someone younger than himself.
Kobe has been O'Neal's little brother for so many years, and finally his ugly daughter-in-law has become a mother-in-law, and she definitely wants to start a career of her own.
As for the quarrel between him and O'Neal, it was not entirely his fault. The main reason was that the Lakers management felt that O'Neal was too old. The only regret of the Lakers management now is that it traded O'Neal too early. Unexpectedly, Lu Yu was also going to be traded that summer.
Otherwise, exchanging O'Neal for Lu Yu would not be a good profit.
Afterwards, the Lakers management was unwilling to bear the infamy of trading O'Neal, so it naturally pushed Kobe to the front.
Then he shrank back.
Do you want to be the boss?
good!
Block up this wave of bullet holes for me.
Kobe, who was originally not good at speaking, took everything silently, which also led to him and O'Neal now being at odds with each other.
Lu Yu didn't know how to help Kobe. He couldn't let go of the Suns' championship this year and help Kobe win the championship with the Lakers.
This is unrealistic.
Before the game started in the evening, many fans predicted that the Western Conference team would definitely win, which made David Stern very depressed.
Because as the president of the league, the Eastern and Western All-Star teams can only have ratings if they have suspense. An All-Star game with no suspense at all can make fans fall asleep while watching it, which is not attractive.
But in fact, in Lu Yu's previous life, in the 2005 All-Star Game, the Western United team with Yao Ming as center lost 115-125 to the Eastern United team with O'Neal as the center. Yao Ming scored 11 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and
1 block.
In the end, Iverson made 4 of 13 shots, 7 of 7 free throws, scored 15 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists, and 5 steals and was elected All-Star Game MVP. Iverson only made 4 of 13 shots in the game, and
There were 7 turnovers, which made the title of "Most Valuable Player" seem insufficient.
But in assists and points, Iverson led the team. At the critical moment of the fourth quarter, he took control of the game.
15-point All-Star Game mvp , it’s a bit embarrassing to talk about it.
At that time, the All-Star Game voting mechanism had not yet been reformed. With our support, Yao Ming was elected as the All-Star Game vote leader and became the starting center in the Western Conference.
That season, Yao Ming averaged 18.3 points, 8.4 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game. Under the leadership of the "Yao-Mai combination", the Rockets entered the first round of the playoffs and achieved the longest 22-game winning streak in team history.
In the 04-05 season, McGrady just came to the Rockets and played 78 games for them, averaging 25.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.7 blocks per game, and became the first player in Rockets history.
A player who can simultaneously reach 2,000 points, 400 rebounds and 400 assists in a single season.
This season, McGrady was not only selected as a starter in the Western Conference All-Star Game, but was also selected to the All-NBA Third Team.
Thinking about it, I really miss the Yao-Mai combination.
Lu Yu sighed for a while, cheered up, and prepared to go out.
When players from both sides came on the field, the Western All-Star team received applause from the audience and was obviously more popular than the Eastern Conference.
Only Lu Yu received boos from the audience when he appeared on the stage, not because Lu Yu was unpopular, but because he was too popular and the fans expressed their love for him with boos.
Because Lu Yu once said that he would be the number one villain of this alliance.
How can we give applause when the villain comes on stage?
So Lu Yu's appearance was completely different from the others. The whole audience was booed, but this time the boos were different from the past. In the past, the boos were filled with anger and hatred, but this time, the boos were
It's full of joy.
But there is one person who is destined to be lost.
That's Carter.
Without Lu Yu, he would have become the most popular star in the league, at least he used to be.
Lu Yu just wanted to tell him: "I have something to do with him."
The main reason why Carter's popularity has declined is because his emotional intelligence is too low. He can turn over many things in one sentence, especially the matter of letting Jordan start in the starting lineup that year. Since then, Jordan has hated it to death.
He did.
There are many people that Jordan hates, and Jordan also hates Lu Yu.
But this is different. Jordan hates Lu Yu, but he does not deny that Lu Yu is very strong.
Jordan hated Carter and didn't bother to comment at all. He even said not to compare Carter with himself, which was obviously a sign of contempt for Carter.
Lu Yu didn't think much about it. After all, he was no longer in the same position as the current four shooting guards, and there were very few opportunities to face off. Today, his opponent was only O'Neal.
After some nonsense from the host, the game finally started.
