Basketball starts with breathing

During the Los Angeles All-Star weekend, the Bulls went to a lot of people. Boozer participated in the rookie game, Richardson participated in the three-point contest, and Artest, Brad Miller and Lu Yu participated in the All-Star game.

In fact, according to the team's tactical position, Hamilton's tactical position should be above Artest, but there is no way, the fans just prefer Artest.

Who told him to stab at both sides for Lu Yu?

Everyone brought their wives and children, but Lu Yu didn't bring anyone. Although all his girlfriends were looking forward to it, as long as he invited, anyone would be willing to drop their work and fly over.

Lu Yu would rather have both sides and communicate with them in a simple and simple way during the breaks, rather than expose them to the camera when there are many media like the All-Star Game.

The woman's heart was needled. Although they had guessed each other a bit, it was hard to guarantee that they would not do anything too much because of jealousy. Lu Yu didn't want to break this rare calm.

Going to the Staples Center in Los Angeles this season is no longer the same as after the end of the first season. There will be a full court of boos. Last season, the Lakers were eliminated by the Spurs, and they have nothing to do with the Bulls. .

O'Neal made a mess on the first day he attended the media meeting. Yao Ming robbed him of the starting position in the Western Conference for two consecutive seasons, which made his dissatisfaction reach its peak.

"Yao Ming is an excellent big man. I'm optimistic about his potential. As for him to be the starter, that's what he should. After all, there are many people and great strength. Yes, the All-Star Game is a show. I think Yao Ming's popularity is more suitable for China. Host the All-Star Game, not in Los Angeles."

It's okay to hear his words suddenly, but if you think about it a little, you can hear the meaning of his words.

Don't look at O'Neal's tall and majestic, sometimes he looks like a funny guy. In fact, he is a very smart person. He will not be as explicit as Garnett, because he is afraid that Lu Yu will shoot at him, in case Lu Yu is coming next season. It's a joke when the West plays center.

But the media are not fools. As soon as O'Neal's words were exported, the media immediately fanned the flames.

O'Neal thought about it, but he didn't admit it anyway, he didn't say it, it was just random speculation by the media, and it had nothing to do with me.

Lu Yu was indeed the busiest player in the All-Star Game. His popularity surpassed that of O'Neal, Duncan, even Kobe and Carter. Reporters rushed to visit him, and some media also took out O'Neal's remarks and asked him what he thought.

Lu Yu smiled and asked, "Is Shaker 32 this year?"

The reporters were stunned for a while, but Lu Yu didn't go on, just let the reporter continue to ask the next question.

The speaker was not interested in the listener. When Lu Yu was interviewing, Kupchak, the general manager of the Lakers, was on the side. Originally, his attention was only on whether the four kings could win the championship this season, but Lu Yu's words made him Suddenly realized, yes, O'Neal is 32!
Compared to O'Neal's peak season, O'Neal's current dominance has declined.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been looked back on by the Spurs last year.

Whether or not he wins the championship this year, Malone will most likely choose to retire, because Malone is older. As for Payton, it’s hard to say now, but no matter what they choose, the future of the team has nothing to do with them.

The team's future choice should be between O'Neal and Kobe.

The contradiction between Kobe and O'Neal is actually looming. Kobe not only said it in front of the media once, but he envied Lu Yu being able to lead the team alone.

Such remarks made O'Neal very dissatisfied.

It's just that O'Neill, who is very shrewd, keeps his dissatisfaction deep in his heart.

As the general manager of the team, Kupchak knows that to choose O'Neal, he must focus on O'Neal like this year, and finally squeeze O'Neal's remaining value, taking advantage of O'Neal's remaining power to win a few more championships.

To choose Kobe, you must train Kobe well and strive to make Kobe the next... Kupchak originally wanted to say Jordan, but then he shook his head, it would be good if he could become the next Lu Yu.

Suddenly, a thought popped into his mind, what if, if he doesn't win the championship this year?

So will owner Buss agree to build a team around O'Neal?

You must know that this year's Lakers are the most luxurious lineup in the league. If this lineup cannot even win the championship, how much of O'Neal's remaining value can be squeezed out?

I am afraid it is poor.

Kupchak hurriedly threw this idea behind him, damn, how could there be such a ridiculous idea, with the Lakers' current lineup, which other team in the league can be the opponent of the Lakers.

No, absolutely not.

For some reason, he still looked at Lu Yu who was chatting not far away.

If there is, it is likely to be the bull led by Lu Yu.

……

Lu Yu is the busiest star of the All-Star Weekend. Although he only participated in the All-Star Game this year, he can be a spectator in other games, but there is one more task this year. Anta happened to get a Lu Yu near Staples. Yu three generations of sneakers conference.

Unconsciously, Lu Yu's basketball shoes have reached the third generation. Compared with the basketball shoes of the same period, the design of Lu Yu's third generation is more avant-garde. It is already one step ahead of the hooks and three bars of the same period. The last popular ball shoes nowadays.

At the same time, Anta also signed Yi Jianlian.

This is what Yi Jianlian took the initiative to request. His idol is Lu Yu, and now he is in line with Lu Yu. In the rookie challenge, he directly wore Lu Yu's three-generation all-star style, and actually played the official game before Lu Yu. Many fans began to ridicule Lu Yu on the forum, "My latest sneakers let my younger brother wear them first, just like the wife I just married..."

Rookie Challenge, James, Anthony, Yi Jianlian, Wade, Bosh and other 03 generation appeared for the first time in the All-Star Weekend, the whole game was almost a dunk show!

But the second-year team is clearly stronger.

Yao Ming didn't play in the rookie challenge, he wanted to rest, so Stoudemire became the main offensive point of the second-year team, scoring 38 points and 17 rebounds, Boozer also scored 29 points, others like Pu Rings and Caron Butler also played well.

On the first-year team's side, everyone seemed to dunk and dunk and forgot that this was a game. By the time they found out that the score was too far behind, it was too late.

These young talent, their first trip to the All-Star Game ended in losses.

Of course, everyone doesn't care too much. After all, for them, coming to the All-Star Game is to play.

Only LeBron James looked at the score with regret: "It's a pity, I didn't win the game, in fact, I quite like playing at the Staples Center in Los Angeles..."

Everyone thought he was talking about the feeling that he liked playing at Staples, because every year there are road games everywhere, and it is normal for James to say such things after comparison.

Only Lu Yu's heart moved slightly.

After winning the Lu Yu Skills Competition last season, many well-known defenders were reluctant to participate this time, for fear of falling into trouble again in front of Lu Yu.

It turned out that Lu Yu did not participate this time.

Therefore, the candidates for this skills competition are lackluster.

Baron Davis, Derek Fisher, Earl Boykins and Stephen Marbury, and finally the bearded winner of the skill competition.

It was followed by a three-point contest.

In Lu Yu's previous life, the champion of this three-point contest was the Nuggets' Watson Leonard, but this time an accident happened, and Richardson participated in the three-point contest a year earlier.

As a result, after Richardson hit the last flower ball, he led Leonard by one point and won the three-point contest championship.

The other Bulls players who came to the scene all sent blessings and hugs to Richardson. Richardson held the trophy high. Lu Yu knew that to others, the three-point king represented nothing, but to the Bulls. For Richardson, the humblest of the five starters, it was the biggest compliment.

If there is someone who has sacrificed the most for the Bulls, aside from Lu Yu, it must be Richardson.

At the earliest in the Clippers, Richardson was actually a swingman at the front and back, but after arriving in the Bulls, he not only had to start from scratch as a point guard, but also made his own positioning clear.

It's a big challenge for him, and the main thing is that in the Bulls, the point guard role is actually awkward.

Because no matter when Lu Yu was playing as a small forward, or when he is playing a power forward now, even in the first season when Lu Yu played a shooting guard, the ball was always in Lu Yu's hands.

So that also makes Richardson an invisible role for the Bulls.

But Lu Yu knew that the biggest reason for the Bulls' rapid rise was because they traded Richardson after that fight.

A Richardson, the Bulls' tactical system has undergone a transformation.

This year's slam dunk contest champion, many people are optimistic about another Richardson, the Warriors' Jason Richardson, because Jason Richardson has won the slam dunk champion for two consecutive years, if he wins again this year He will become the first player in history to win the dunk king for three consecutive years.

Richardson has also had a good season this season.

After all, in name, he is still the leader of the Warriors, but Arenas and Yao Ming have better data.

As a result, after the start of the slam dunk contest, Reid Jones from the Pacers blocked the triple crown dream of Richardson, the two-time slam dunk king, and won the slam dunk contest in one fell swoop.

This made Jason Richardson want to hammer Jones to death!
On the third day of the All-Star Game, the 03-04 season's All-Star lineup was full of superstars, including the stars of the 96 golden generation as well as the all-time top four shooting guards in the league.

West starting lineup: Yao Ming, Duncan, Wang Zhizhi, Kobe and Francis.

This was also the first time Yao Ming and Francis were on the same team, which made Lu Yu sigh. After all, in Lu Yu's previous life, Yao Ming and Francis were good buddies.

The Western Reserve lineup is: Cassell, O'Neal, Peja, Nowitzki, Ray Allen, Garnett and Kirilenko.

East starting lineup: Ben Wallace, Lu Yu, Carter, Iverson and McGrady.

Substitute lineup: Artest, Brad Miller, Kidd, Baron Davis, Magloy, Michael Reid, O'Neal Jr. and Pierce.

Compared with the luxurious interior lines in the west, the interior lines in the east are slightly shabby.

Among them, Magloy is the third in the Eastern Center's vote!

No. 2 is the semi-retired Mourning!It can be seen that the high popularity of Da Zuo!

It also shows how bad the western center is.

When taking the makeup photos for the All-Star Game, Lu Yu sat in the C position, behind him sat McGrady, Iverson, Carter, and Kidd.

It's a pity that Kobe is in the West, otherwise the four quarterbacks will be sitting behind him, it must feel very cool.

The biggest legacy of this All-Star is Odom.

So many people call that the All-Star Game should be held after the end of the regular season, otherwise the players who performed well in the second half will suffer too much!
In Lu Yu's previous life, the Heat lost a lot of games before the All-Star Game, and they chased after the All-Star Game.

3月11胜3负，4月5胜2负！
All the way to the 4th in the East!

Leaving the previously hot Hornets and Bucks behind,
Lamar Odom averaged 17.1 9.7 4.1 throughout the season, the best performance of his career!And get the Eastern Conference Player of the Month for March!
It's really rare that the best player of the month can't make the All-Star!
Everyone knows that this All-Star Game is for the host O'Neal to get the MVP, but it seems that this tradition has been broken since the All-Star Game in Philadelphia the previous year.

Lu Yu knew that he couldn't win the All-Star Game MVP again this season, and if he won it again, he might provoke public anger.

But let O'Neal easily take away the MVP, he is also very upset, after all, O'Neal often makes things difficult for himself in front of the media.

There is nothing wrong with Lu Yu, the only thing is that it is best not to offend him, otherwise he will always remember, so before the game started, he looked at McGrady behind him.

"Tracy, do you want to win the MVP?"

Maddie froze, "Me?"

Then Maddie understood and smiled: "Do you really want to do this?"

Lu Yu glanced at him sideways: "If the West is Kobe Bryant's best chance to win the MVP, we will release the water. If it is O'Neal, you will be responsible for grabbing the MVP, how about it?"

"No problem!" Maddie made an ok gesture.

As a result, Kobe was really hard today. He played the longest time in the game, but only scored 20 points. Lu Yu had no choice but to start frantically playing the ball for McGrady. McGrady lived up to his trust, and the last moment continued He made a three-pointer, scored a game-high 43 points, and overtook the score to beat the Western Stars 142-139.

This score of 43 points is also the highest score in the history of the All-Star Game.

In second place was Chamberlain's 42 points.

Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi both performed well, scoring the same 15 points.

Lu Yu scored 17 points and 12 assists. If it weren't for McGrady's terrifying data, maybe the Eastern Conference MVP trophy would have been awarded to Lu Yu again.

McGrady received the MVP trophy amid boos from Los Angeles fans. He suddenly felt that he was being fooled by Lu Yu. When he came to Los Angeles in the future, wouldn't he be booed to death.

O'Neal, who scored 29 points, became the background board, and he could only watch McGrady take away the trophy that belonged to him.

The bigger background is Garnett. In the game, Garnett was stolen by Lu Yu four times in a row. He could clearly feel that Lu Yu was targeting him.

Lu Yu just wanted to tell him that although I am not in the west, you must know that you are definitely not as good as me.
