Basketball starts with breathing

Chapter 155 Lu, is Annie at home? [First update, ask for a monthly ticket]

It was late at night when Lu Yu returned to Chicago.

This NBA China game, although it did not help his strength, it helped Lu Yu to increase his popularity in China.

As a Chinese player, in a foreign league, in addition to his own strength, the support of the domestic market is also a weapon that can support the player to stand up.

Whether it's for Lu Yu or Wang Zhizhi, it's the same.

Not long after getting off the plane, Lu Yu received a call from Lu Chaoyang.

"I heard that Jessica is going to Chicago to watch your game, how is it? Are you nervous?" Lu Chaoyang laughed.

Lu Yu began to talk nonsense: "It's just one regular season. I will play a lot of regular seasons in the future, and this time the opponent is the Indiana Pacers. It's a piece of cake, and I will definitely get the opponent in minutes."

"Stop talking to me."

Lu Chaoyang coughed lightly: "I ask you, what is your relationship with Jessica?"

"Friendship."

"Where's Annie?"

"It's also a friendship."

Lu Chaoyang: "..."

He knew that Annie gave up her acting career and went to Chicago together for her son.

But to Lu Yu here.

Don't ask, ask is a friend.

How could he have such a generous son? Lu Chaoyang was a little helpless. He wanted to comfort his son when he grew up, and blamed himself for not bringing him to the United States. In the end, he could only sigh helplessly: " Be careful, don't fall into the Shura field."

"???"

Lu Yu was stunned for a moment. Does Lu Chaoyang know the term Shura Field?

However, what Lao Lu reminded was correct, he really had to pay attention,
Have fun playing with fire.

Playing too much is the crematorium.

After getting off the plane, Artest invited Lu Yu to have dinner with him. After Lu Yu finished eating, he packed another one for Anne Hathaway.

Pushing open the door, Annie was cleaning. She knew that Lu Yu was coming back today. She was afraid that she would fall asleep, so she kept working to refresh herself.

Seeing the food in Lu Yu's hands, she froze for a moment, then looked at the table.

Lu Yu followed her gaze and saw that there was a table of meals prepared on the table.

"I'm still worried that you haven't eaten, so I'll pack a portion and come back to eat with you." Lu Yu immediately changed his excuse: "Just right, you don't need to eat takeout."

Annie froze for a moment: "Well, then I'll put this in the refrigerator."

Lu Yu handed over the package in his hand, thinking that this girl is really interesting, and she must eat the food she made to be happy.

Just feel wronged and have to eat another meal.

The two sat at the dining table while eating and chatting about what she had been busy with at home these few days when she was away.

In fact, Anne Hathaway has nothing else to do, just learn acting with Charlize next door.

and many more.

Performance?

Lu Yu seemed to have caught a glimpse of inspiration.

"By the way, has Scarlett contacted you recently?" Lu Yu asked casually.

"No."

Annie shook her head: "she's filming a blockbuster recently, so she should be quite busy."

Annie looked envious.

Lu Yu nodded: "I'll take you to New York at the end of the month. The two of you haven't seen each other for a long time, so it's time to get together."

The last preseason game against the Knicks at the end of the month could be arranged just in time. Lu Yufan didn't eat, and went back to the room to call Scarlett.

"Hey, are you busy?"

"I used to be busy, but now I'm not busy."

Scarlett's voice was sweet.

"I'm going to New York to play an away game in a few days..."

"Really? It's great, you can tell me when I have a room, Lu, you don't know that I really miss you in New York, the smell of your body, and your strength..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Lu Yu interrupted quickly, and let her continue, she was about to be banned: "I have something to trouble you, my dad recognized a goddaughter, Anne Hathaway from your crew, she wants to film, you will be there when Introduce her to a role."

"Annie?"

Scarlett said jealously: "She can come to me directly if she wants a character, or she has to go through you? You tell me frankly, is there any secret between the two of you."

"No, she's really a goddaughter that my dad recognizes."

Lu Yu insisted: "Okay, anyway, you try your best to arrange it, please trouble you."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yu calculated the time, arranged the audition and waited for the result. It took a few days, it should be enough.

……

On October 10, the Chicago Bulls and the New York Knicks played their last preseason game.

Alan Houston originally planned to truce, but when he heard that Lu Yu was coming, he was interested in playing, but there were not many matchups between the two on the field.

And because it was the last preseason game, both sides kept their strength and didn't play very intensely.

Originally, Lu Yu wanted to have a good fight with Alan Houston. After all, it was rare to meet this mid-range pitching champion, and this mid-range pitching champion had not had a few seasons. As a result, before the game, head coach Floyd asked him for help. Talk to him, let him play some less time this time.

"I made a deal with Drew to let him control the ball more in the preseason, so you play a little less, the last game is over, reserve a little physical strength to prepare for the regular season, and I will give you more opportunities to perform in the regular season."

"I obey the coach's arrangement." Lu Yu happily agreed.

Freud nodded, very satisfied with Lu Yu's attitude.

He needs obedient players. If Lu Yu is really as thorny as Jordan said, he will have a headache. It turns out that Jordan's words are just because of anger.

Lu Yu's physical strength on the court was all left to toss with Scarlett in the room at night.

After some cloud and rain, Scarlett snuggled against Lu Yu's chest and told Lu Yu that the audition had been arranged, but Anne Hathaway seemed to be a little hesitant.

Lu Yu could only let Scarlet sleep first.

"I'm going to persuade that dead brain."

Scarlett: "..."

Lu Yu arranged Anne Hathaway in the hotel where the team stayed, and the hotel where he and Scarlett were dating was another hotel. When he returned to the hotel and knocked on Annie's door, it was obvious that Annie was a little embarrassed. look.

"what happened?"

"Lu, there is something I want to discuss with you..."

"You say it."

Lu Yu knew that Annie must be tangled. She always put her thoughts on her face: "Let me hear what it is. If you let me sleep with you tonight, it might be more difficult."

"No, not this one."

Anne Hathaway blushed: "It's Scarlett, she told me there was an audition, and I was hesitating whether to go..."

With a serious face, Lu Yu held Annie's pretty face in both hands, and said seriously: "Listen to me Annie, I have told you many times, I don't want you to give up your favorite career for me, if you are going to audition, I fully support you."

"But……"

"You will stay in New York this time, and you will go back after the audition is over. Hey, I can't bear to part with you."

"Why don't I..."

"No, you can't sacrifice for me anymore. You gave up your chance to act last time. This is your dream. I can't be so selfish."

"All right……"

"That's it, I'll wait for your good news."

Lu Yu felt that it was good for him to play the kind that he was reluctant to separate from Annie in order to make Annie pursue her dreams. At least it was no problem to get an Oscar statuette.

Ok,
I can finally go back to Chicago with confidence.

……

The Bulls coaching staff confirmed the 15-man lineup for the new season, which is similar to what everyone saw in the preseason.

But the media is not optimistic about the Bulls.

One is that their roster has not improved much compared to last season, and even lost the All-Star Elton Brand.

The second is that although the preseason results are very good, the preseason is not the regular season. In the regular season, the confrontation and tactics are full, and the Bulls will definitely lose the bottoms.

Third, in the last few games, the Bulls let all teams see the weakness of their No. [-] position. The Bulls wanted Lu Yu's scoring ability, but also lacked an effective organizer. Obviously, the coaching staff finally decided to let Lu Yu Yu was a shooting guard who was good at playing back in college.

If Lu Yu can play well at point guard, why should he play shooting guard in the last few games of the preseason?

There's only one reason, the Bulls' lack of scoring points.

Everyone has guessed the answer, because after pulling out all the players of the Bulls, there is hardly any stable scoring point, maybe Brad Miller is one, but Brad Miller is such a good center, Completely underwhelming in front of those star centers.

A reporter in Washington interviewed Michael Jordan. This time he didn't speak ill of Lu Yu. He is now a league hero, and it's a bit of a loss to speak ill of a rookie.

Not to mention he knows the Bulls.

Get to know Cartwright, get to know Freud, get to know Klaus more.

Although Jordan wanted to see Lu Yu's jokes, he had a hunch that things weren't so simple. He had seen Lu Yu's performance in the previous preseason games, and he could definitely be trained as the core of the team, not just a scorer.

He suddenly became a little curious about Lu Yu.

Will it be the core of the scoring type?

Jordan thinks it is impossible. In this league, if there is no good point guard for the pure scoring core, it is difficult to lead the team to win.

The Wizards are an example, even though Jordan played small forward this season.

But in reality, he's a scoring core.

10月30日，NBA常规赛正式开始，这一天的比赛多达12场，凯尔特人以108:89赢了骑士队，活塞87-94小牛队，老鹰84-89火箭，开拓者87-98湖人，76人74-83森林狼，步行者97-103篮网，奇才91-93尼克斯，猛龙85-114魔术，掘金99-96太阳，超音速95-101国王，快船98-109马刺，雄鹿119-112爵士。

No Bulls game because the Bulls were so bad last season.

The Mavericks won. Wang Zhizhi played well. He scored 13 points and 9 rebounds in 7 minutes. The most important thing is that he also had 4 assists. He seems to have found the rhythm of NBA confrontation.

The Wizards lost again, and like the preseason, they failed to win the game, and most importantly, they lost to the Knicks.

To know that the Knicks have hardly any media optimistic about them this season.

The NBA League arranged for the Knicks to be the Wizards' first opponent in the hope that the Wizards could win their first game, or at least look good.

As a result, the Wizards don't even want a face.

It was on this day that Jessica came to Lu Yu's home in Chicago.

Looking at the cleaned room, Jessica pointed to the locked door: "Lu, why is this room locked?"

"Oh, this is the room the landlord uses to lock the clutter."

"really?"

Jessica's voice rose noticeably.

"Of course, by the way, Jessica, where do you live today?"

Lu Yu said with a smile, he couldn't tell Jessica that that room belonged to Annie.

Jessica was interrupted by Lu Yuyi and didn't ask: "Of course I'm staying in a hotel. Before I came, my uncle told me that I couldn't just live in other boys' houses."

"I'm not any other boy, I think you can sleep with me."

"Bah, you are beautiful."

When the two were arguing, the doorbell rang suddenly, Lu Yu walked over to open the door, and saw Charlize Theron standing outside the door.

"Lu, is Annie at home?"

Lu Yu can't wait to close the door immediately.
