Chapter 197 We are a lot of people, what's the matter [Third, please subscribe]

"Which team do you support, the Bulls and the Mavericks?" Zhu Fangyu patted the table, shaking the computer on the table.

Wang Shipeng did his part and said directly: "Of course it's Lu Yu, that's my buddy."

When he was training in the United States, he had the best relationship with Lu Yu, because both of them were shooting guards and had more opportunities to face each other. He learned a lot from Lu Yu.

Du Feng had nothing to do with Lu Yu. He shook his head: "Although Dazhi is a little discouraged, he is a player from our CBA after all. I choose to support Dazhi in this wave."

"Then what should I say now, if Du Feng beat Dazhi's Mavericks to win, and Shi Peng you beat Lu Yu's Bulls to win, I'll be the dealer. To be fair, let me pay 100 yuan per person," Zhu Fangyu said.

Du Feng and Wang Shipeng each took out 100 yuan and put it on the table.

Suddenly, Wang Shipeng asked, "Then we are all overwhelmed, who are you overpowering?"

Zhu Fangyu said with a smile, "I'm in charge of opening the bookmaker, can't a family draw twenty?"

"Go away!" Du Feng and Wang Shipeng scolded in unison.

In the end, Zhu Fangyu was forced to have no choice but to take out 100 yuan and put it on Lu Yu's head.

"Brother Lu, you have to fight. If you lose this wave, Du Feng's kid will make a net profit of two hundred." Zhu Fangyu chanted all kinds of prayers.

Wang Shipeng made a suggestion: "For the sake of fairness, we won't watch this game, lest someone cheat in the middle of the game and wait until the results of the game come out, and then check out directly."

"I agree." Du Feng agreed.

Zhu Fangyu was stunned for a moment: "Then why did we ask for leave today? I finally asked for a day off, isn't it just to watch the game?"

"Vote! All-star votes for both of them!"

Wang Zhipeng finger computer.

After a while, the computer was turned on, and Zhu Fangyu kept searching on the computer, and finally found the voting interface, where he began to ponder the matter of voting.

"Have you made your choice yet? Why is it so slow to cast a vote?" Du Feng urged.

"Then I have to choose carefully. There are only two tickets. I will give one to Lu Yu, and I have to choose a star I like." Zhu Fangyu pouted.

Du Feng rolled his eyes at him: "Why are you such a dog, it would be great to give the other one of the two tickets to Da Zhi."

"Or say you have no culture."

Zhu Fangyu rolled his eyes and turned back: "Da Zhi didn't make the All-Star candidate list at all, he's still just a substitute... Don't rush, didn't you see which one I'm voting for? Damn, I don't usually think, how did he get voted? That's when I found out that there are so many star players in the NBA."

"Can't I give it all to Lu Yu?" Wang Shipeng asked.

Zhu Fangyu grimaced: "Of course not, the last place is a bit tangled, Iverson, Kobe, Tracy McGrady, Carter? Or Garnett, O'Neal, Duncan?"

Du Feng was also dumbfounded when he heard it. There are so many stars, and it is difficult to choose who to choose.

Lu Yu's popularity has been increasing day by day both in China and in the United States during this period, and with the Bulls moving Lu Yu to the shooting guard's style of play, coupled with Lu Yu breaking the record of the youngest 40+ points, this makes Lu Yu Yu even had a moment of glory. So far, his number of votes has crushed all the stars, and even left the No.2 Carter far behind.

The highest number of votes in the West is the Lakers Shaq Shaquille O'Neal, followed by Kobe Bryant.

The original 2002 All-Star vote king should be Carter.

For the impression of Carter as a star, many people may still be stuck in the only dunk in his peak period, and some people even thought that Carter was just a dunk.

In fact, Carter's personal ability is still very strong. As one of the famous four quarterbacks of the 21st century, Carter is not the most famous or the most accomplished, but for a long time, Carter is the most popular among the four quarterbacks. one of.

In the past two years, Carter has been pressing the other three superstars among the four shooting guards. Although Iverson and McGrady have played explosive data in these two seasons and won the scoring title, Iverson even led the team to the finals. Coupled with the gorgeous ball-handling skills, it is still no match for Carter, the slam dunk king, in terms of popularity, and Kobe has won two championships in a row and is a member of the well-known OK group.

To tell the truth, in fact, Carter was not particularly strong at his peak. It can even be said that he was the weakest among the four shooting guards. Why can he overwhelm the other three in terms of popularity.

Neither Iverson nor McGrady nor Kobe Bryant can become the All-Star vote king, and their votes are even much less than Carter's.

Iverson, who was so good last season, MVP, scoring champion and finals, is better than the other three in terms of individual ability and team leadership, but he lost to Carter in terms of popularity, and Carter's peak season was It's just an average of 27 points per game, and the team's record is only ranked in the middle of the East, so in the years when he became the All-Star vote king, Carter's performance was not particularly strong.

O'Neal was on a three-peat and dominated the league, but he still lost to Carter in popularity.

Was the dunk really so popular at the time, or Carter's popularity was high, in fact, the gorgeous dunk was not the main reason why Carter became the All-Star ticket king, because before the 00 Slam Dunk Contest, Carter was already an All-Star ticket. Wang Leo, his popularity has indeed been very high when he entered the NBA.

In fact, one of the reasons why Carter can win the All-Star vote is because he has the support of the entire Canadian country behind him. Although Canada has a small population, regardless of his size, in fact, the entire Canada has only 3000 million people, but it is These 3000 million fans were enough to make Carter the All-Star ticket king. Of course, Carter was also very popular in the United States at that time. With the support of two countries, Carter naturally became an All-Star.

In particular, Jordan had just retired a few years ago, and the NBA ratings and attention had declined, so the league urgently needed to find Jordan's successor, and Carter, who could fly, was born, nicknamed Demigod and UFO, in line with the trapeze. Image, so the league began to intentionally let Carter succeed Jordan, so Carter's popularity and attention in the NBA have been greatly improved.

It's a pity that I met Lu Yu this year.

Canada has 3000 million people, but China has more than one billion!

However, the habitual double-standard dog in the United States has appeared, and many Lu Hei began to spray Lu Yu on the Internet because there are many Chinese fans behind him. Otherwise, how could he have won the votes far ahead.

Zhu Fangyu happened to see this kind of news when he was browsing the web, and he was so angry that he immediately wanted to turn into a keyboard warrior and spray back: "We have a lot of people, what's the matter, you have the ability to vote more than us!"

"Don't talk nonsense on the Internet. Have you finished your vote? After you have voted, let's see if the game between the Bulls and the Mavericks is over?" Du Feng said.

Only then did Zhu Fangyu remember that the game should be over, and quickly turned on the broadcast.

The Bulls beat the Mavericks 103:99 at home.

"Come here, share the money, fifty per person."

Zhu Fangyu and Wang Shipeng happily shared the money, leaving only Du Feng to be depressed.

What made him even more depressed was that the All-Stars couldn't vote for Wang Zhizhi, but had to vote for Lu Yu, who made him lose 100 yuan.

It's just a sin!
Don Nelson praised Cartwright's adjustment to Lu Yu's use, saying that this style of play is exactly the tactic he envisioned.

In fact, he thinks that Lu Yu is his player. Lu Yu plays a shooting guard, Nash plays a point guard, Finley is on the front line, and Nowitzki is on the inside. Even if he encounters the Lakers in the playoffs, he will dare to fight. Fight for a championship.

It's a pity that Lu Yu was missed by a single thought.

At the end of the game, he first walked to Lu Yu's side and hugged Lu Yu: "I'm glad to see your growth now, if you're not happy playing in the Bulls, I hope you can contact me, I really hope to be with you Collaborate."

Cartwright's eyes were green as he watched.

This is blatant digging!

But fortunately, Lu Yu just smiled: "Thank you, but I'm doing fine in the Bulls now. I'll talk about it later."

If you can be the boss in the bull, why go to the calf as a foil?

Anyway, Lu Yu didn't want to. He didn't want one person to one city. Unlike most NBA stars today, Lu Yu was not so loyal to the team.

In his eyes, the NBA is as much a business as his media empire.

Profit maximization is the most important.

In the Bulls, he can maximize his growth in terms of reputation and income. Compared with Dallas, Chicago is also a bigger market. There is no need to aggrieve yourself for the championship.

What's more, who said that if you go to Dallas, you will definitely win the championship?
This year's Lakers, even if the Mavericks have themselves, will they be able to play?
Not so.

Especially Nowitzki is so soft, can he hold O'Neal in the paint?

If Nowitzki did not win the championship, it is estimated that he would be scolded as a softball throughout his career. If it wasn’t for the 11-year-old James who gave up and scored absurd 8 points in a single game, Nowitzki’s career without a championship is almost a sure thing. .

Of course, Lu Yu was still very polite when hugging Nowitzki.

At least Dirk Nowitzki performed well, although Oakley and Chandler tossed enough.

After the hug with Nowitzki, Lu Yu ignored Nash and Finley and went directly to Wang Zhizhi: "Don't worry about going back today, let's have dinner together tonight?"

Lu Ji Chinese Restaurant opened a branch in Chicago, but Lu Yu himself has never been there.

I usually take these women to the western restaurant, mainly because I don't want to go there because they are afraid of being informed by the staff to Lao Lu. Of course, I don't have this concern when I take Wang Zhizhi.

"Okay, I haven't had authentic Chinese food for a long time." Wang Zhizhi readily agreed.

Seems to be in a good mood.

Regardless of losing the game, Wang Zhizhi's performance was not bad at all. The Mavericks' bench lineup almost overturned the Bulls' bench lineup, mainly because Wang Zhizhi played against Marcus Fezel.

Fezel is so rubbish.

On defense, he was played by Wang Zhizhi several times. Wang Zhizhi made a fake move and he flew once, jumping around in the air like a gorilla, and watching Cartwright on the sidelines died speechless.

……

After the Bulls won the Mavericks, the rest of the league finally realized that the Bulls were stronger.

This kind of strength is not the strength at the beginning of the season. At that time, although the Bulls were winning, they were not taken seriously in the eyes of many strong teams, because at the beginning of the season, each team was adapting to the new rules, all Constantly adjusting tactics and lineup.

Only in the middle of the season, that is, at this stage, when everyone starts to study their opponents, will the lineup see the truth.

The Bulls had been thoroughly researched before, so they lost a streak.

However, the Bulls quickly adjusted, and it was another wave of winning streaks. It even won a Western powerhouse like the Mavericks. With this ability to adjust, it shows that the Bulls have truly entered the ranks of the strong teams.

The Bulls became the hottest team in the NBA for a while. Their game style was unique in this era of centers and became the darling of major broadcast TV stations.

The Bulls' season tickets have long been sold out, and fans crowded every corner of the arena for almost every game. Many fans had to buy the Bulls' tickets at a high price from the scalpers. A wave of five-game winning streak, the price of tickets reached a historical peak.

The Bulls' regular season ranking has risen to the third place in the Eastern Conference. The two teams before the Bulls are the Nets and the Pistons.

The first in the Western Conference is the Kings, and the second is the Spurs.

Although many fans chanted the words "Bull Championship" wildly, professionals in the industry are very calm, because although the Bulls have won the Mavericks, they have not yet competed with the top four teams in the East and West. handed over.

They did play against the Lakers, the third in the West, but lost.

But that was before the Bulls adjusted their tactics, and they haven't played against each other since.

But soon, they will play the Lakers at home again on January 1.

At that time, I knew whether the Bulls were a real strong team, and whether the Bulls could shout the slogan of "Bulls Championship".

But before that, none of the fans had their sights set on that game.

Because before that game, on January 1, the Bulls are going to challenge an underdog in the East.

It stands to reason that there should not be too many people paying attention to the bulls playing the underdogs, but there is no way that the underdogs——

It's a genius!
