Basketball starts with breathing

Chapter 135 Lu Yu Will Be My Lifelong Best Friend
"Mr. Driver, please turn around and go to the United Center."

Lu Yu decided to go to the United Center first. He didn't tell Ding Shizhong his address, so Ding Shizhong sent the sample shoes either to Lu Yu's home in Spokane before, or to the Bulls later. United Center.

Lu Yu's first signature sneaker was the finalized plan that he and Anta's design team communicated many times.

Ke 5 is Lu Yu's favorite pair of basketball shoes. Later, because of the price increase, it was too expensive, and he was not willing to buy it again. The original pair of his own was also too expensive because of the price increase. .

When Anta decided to give Lu Yu his signature shoes, Lu Yu described some features of the Ke 5 sneakers to the designer team.

Perhaps it is a difference in cognition, or perhaps the torrent of the times has not arrived ahead of schedule.

Lu Yu's suggestion made Anta's designer team greet the eight generations of Lu Yu's ancestors. More than a dozen pairs of light-like shoes have been sent. The reason why they have not mentioned it before is mainly because they are afraid of being scolded.

However, when Lu Yu saw the latest sample shoes, he found that these shoes should be the most similar to Kobe 5. They are very similar in appearance and foot feel, especially the simple ones made with the initials LY of Lu Yu's name. The logo is printed on the tongue, which is indeed comparable to Nike's top-notch sneakers.

Lu Yu simply came to a training session in the arena.

The shock absorption is ok, although the forefoot is a bit hard, but the rolling feeling of the shoes is better, and the feedback of the field is more timely.

The side defense is also good. After all, the anti-rollover angle of Kewu has always been great.

The ankle protection, low-top sneakers, are also about the same level as the Division 5.

The strength of the vamp, the hot-melt vamp has a good fixation effect. If you wear it with a high instep, it may press your feet, but Lu Yu is not a high instep, so it feels very good.

All in all, this is a pair of basketball shoes that he thinks is excellent.

Even if you get it five years later, ten years later, you can still take the shot.

Of course, perhaps the cushioning limit and the lifespan of cushioning materials are still a bit worse. After all, Anta secretly integrated the technology developed by several other companies this time. It is said that it is research and development, but it is actually a reference, which is often ugly. Just copy.

But there is no way, the research of materials is not something that can be done overnight.

Of course, Lu Yu is a defender and does not have high requirements for the cushioning limit. The cushioning of Kobe 5 is just average. As for the cushioning life... Lu Yu does not think that his pair of sneakers will be worn to the end of their life.

And according to Anta's pricing, compared with thousands of hooks, it is simply too conscientious.

Lu Yu felt that this pair of shoes had the potential to be a big seller.

"Just it."

Lu Yu sent a text message back to Ding Shizhong.

Ding Shizhong from the other side of the ocean finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the text message. If he was not satisfied, the designers would probably resign collectively.

Artest just returned to Chicago from a vacation.

As a third-year rookie, he has a serious sense of crisis. I heard that this year the team selected a forward named Trenton Hassel, who is very similar to him in both style and characteristics.

He felt like he was here to replace himself.

So he hurriedly ended his vacation, and the first thing he did when he returned to Chicago was to come to the arena to train.

As soon as he walked into the arena, he saw Lu Yu training tirelessly.

"God, is the team so convoluted now?"

The distinctive complexion and handsome appearance made Artest immediately recognize Lu Yu as this year's No. [-] show.

"Hey buddy."

Artest and Lu Yu said hello.

Lu Yu returned and saw Artest walking in with crab steps. He was stunned for a moment: "Hello, I know you. You are Ron, right?"

Artest is obviously very happy: "I know you too, Lu, I didn't expect you to be so diligent, you didn't finish the summer league in Salt Lake City yesterday, you should have just got off the plane today and came to the team for training, seeing you I feel there is hope for the team."

Lu Yu: "..."

He doesn't know if the team has hope, but seeing Artest, it is estimated that there is definitely hope for future fights.

"Hey, Lu, your sneakers are beautiful?" Artest's eyes were attracted by the brand-new basketball shoes on Lu Yu's feet: "It's a brand I've never seen before, oh, I heard that you signed a contract with one of your country's Brand, is that it?"

"Yes."

Lu Yu nodded, always feeling that Artest's burning eyes were malicious.

"Great, these sneakers are very suitable for your temperament." Artest said directly: "Can you give it to me?"

Lu Yu: "..."

So is it true to bully rookies?

This was the first time we met.

"I only have this pair of sneakers." Lu Yu thought about it and declined politely. He didn't want this kind of bullying to become habitual.

Artest was not at all unhappy about being rejected, but said excitedly: "Because this is the only pair you have right now, it makes more sense, doesn't it?"

He likes Lu Yu very much, so he hopes to establish friendship with Lu Yu in this way.

The reason is very simple, Jordan doesn't like Lu Yu.

Jordan doesn't like him either... He just broke Jordan's rib in the summer training camp some time ago. Although Jordan told the media that he called to comfort Artest, in fact Jordan had countless friends behind his back. The second curse Artest gave birth to a son without an asshole.

In Artest's simple logic, the enemy of the enemy is the friend.

Lu Yu spread out his hands helplessly: "But we have different shoe sizes, how about I'll pick a pair for you when these shoes are officially released?"

"No no no."

Artest shook his head repeatedly: "I just like commemorative sneakers, the shoe size is not important."

"How big are your shoes, how big are my feet."

He added seriously.

Years later, Artest wrote in his autobiography: "My friendship with Lu Yu started with Lu Yu's first pair of signed sneakers, from Lu Yu's reluctant eyes, to finally he gritted his teeth and decided for the sake of friendship. Give me this pair of shoes, and I know that Lu Yu will be my best friend in this life."

Lu Yu just wanted to say: "Didn't you fucking lie?"

……

Lu Yu originally wanted to get off the plane and go home, but he was inexplicably stolen a pair of sneakers by Artest here.

Can't it be so bad?

So, Lu Yu decided to have a training match and a heads-up match with Artest to recover the loss of the sneakers.

after an hour.

"call……"

Artest let out a sigh of relief, "That's cool... Lu, you really know how to train. It looks like I won't have to spend money to find a trainer in the future."

Do you want to be so stingy?
Sneakers to rub?

Training too?
Will you even have to rub the door of the team's cheerleading locker room next time?

"By the way, Lu, I heard that there will be a newcomer's press conference in two days. According to my experience, the team should ask you which number to choose tomorrow."

As long as that number is not retired and no other player chooses that number, the player can choose according to personal preference.

For example, Jordan's jersey has been retired, and Lu Yu has no choice.

Players can also change their numbers. According to the regulations, they need to apply to the league six months in advance. If they do not apply according to the regulations, they will be punished by the league.

Jordan was sprayed by his opponent after his first comeback. Sure enough, No. 45 Jordan was not as good as No. 23 Jordan, and then he changed No. 23 in the second game. He was fined $5000 by the NBA for changing his jersey number without authorization.

"What's your number?" Lu Yu asked casually.

Artest said triumphantly: "I am a nostalgic person. I chose No. 15 in high school and college. Of course, I chose No. 15 in high school because my father wore No. 51 when he played."

Lu Yu: "..."

You said you were in memory of your father, I believe.

But you say you are nostalgic a bit too much.

Lu Yu wanted to complain, but before he could complain, Artest took the lead in asking questions.

"So, Lu Yu, what number do you want to choose?"
