NBA: I really just want to be a second-in-command

Chapter 114 [Fierce battle is imminent! 】

Meng Xia had indeed been fed too much by them at the moment.

Her body was weak, and her limbs didn't listen to her at all, but her consciousness was still clear. She knew that if she got into this car tonight, she would definitely be ruined by this old thing, so she struggled desperately.

But in her drunken state, how could she beat the strength of the two men.

She wanted to shout, but they covered her mouth!
Looking at that guy's wretched and greasy smile, Meng Xia was completely desperate...

Only the limbs are still struggling!

At this moment, she suddenly saw a tall figure appearing behind those two guys!

The man was wearing a peaked cap, and his face could not be seen clearly.

Then the man grabbed Director Ma's hand, like a pair of steel pliers, and tightly grasped the guy's wrist.

Director Ma immediately grinned in pain!
"You...what are you doing?!"

another man asked.

"What are you doing? Bullying women?" Lu Yusheng said coldly.

Only then did Meng Xia realize that it was Lu Yusheng!
In her heart, it was like a drowning person suddenly grabbed a life-saving straw!
"Lu, help me~"

"Who the hell are you? What's none of your business?" the man said arrogantly.

The lights were dim, and Lu Yusheng was wearing a peaked cap, so he didn't recognize Lu Yusheng immediately.

"I warn you, she is our colleague, this is our private matter, I advise you to let go and leave here, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"

"Are you still welcome?"

Without saying a word, Lu Yusheng punched that guy in the face!
The guy was punched and fell to the ground. He hummed for a long time, but he didn't get up.

You know, Lu Yusheng has Kermit Washington's Russian boxing bonus, coupled with his athlete's strength, one can imagine the weight of this punch for ordinary people.

Director Ma was immediately stunned by Lu Yusheng's punch, and hurriedly let go of Meng Xia's hand.

Lu Yusheng gave him a hard look, then carried Meng Xia out of the car, and asked, "Are you okay?"

Meng Xia cried pear blossoms with rain, shook her head, "I'm fine."

"Let's go."

After Lu Yusheng finished speaking, he pulled Meng Xia and turned to leave.

After walking a few steps, I suddenly heard Director Ma say from behind, "Meng Xia, think it over for me. If you leave like this today, it will be difficult for me to guarantee your job."

Hearing this, Lu Yusheng stopped in his tracks.

He turned back towards Director Ma and walked back.

"You...what do you want to do?"

Facing the tall and massive Lu Yusheng, Director Ma panicked.

"Let me tell you, Meng Xia doesn't need this job anymore. From now on, she is no longer your subordinate. Do you understand?" Lu Yusheng pointed at him.

Director Ma looked at Meng Xia, "Meng Xia, can he represent what you mean? Are you sure you have thought it through? Without a job, you can only go back to China."

Meng Xia was silent, just crying.

Lu Yusheng didn't expect that the old bastard was still threatening Meng Xia with his job, so he couldn't help being annoyed, he grabbed Director Ma by the collar!

"You...what are you going to do?"

"Listen, let me say it again, from now on, Meng Xia will no longer be your subordinate, and she will no longer work for a disgusting leader like you, but please rest assured that she will not lose her job because of her Already found her next job, she's going to be an agent for an NBA star, hear me??!!"

Meng Xia looked at Lu Yusheng's back in surprise.

"Also, this is the price you paid for harassing her during this period of time. I hope you will have a longer memory in the future, and don't use those dirty methods to deal with your female colleagues."

After speaking, Lu Yusheng unceremoniously punched Director Ma's fat face!

Director Ma was beaten and lay on the ground with the other man, moaning and whimpering together.

Lu Yusheng then turned around and pulled Meng Xia away.

While being dragged by Lu Yusheng, Meng Xia stared at Lu Yusheng with admiration.

Lu Yusheng finally stopped, "I'm sorry, I suddenly felt that I was a little too reckless just now, and I quit your job for you without your consent."

"It's okay," Meng Xia said with a smile, "Anyway... I've wanted to quit a long time ago, but... what you just said about my next new job, about the agent of a star player, is it true?"

"Of course it's true." Lu Yusheng said, "Actually, I did think about it last time when you said you would introduce me to an agent, but I've been busy these days, so I didn't think about it. Wake up, it might not be like your current job, which you like, but at least it will help you stay here, right?"

"No, I don't like that job," Meng Xia shook her head. "I just like here and basketball. That's why I came to the United States to do interviews with the team."

"That's good." Lu Yusheng said with a smile, "I was a little worried just now. If you recklessly quit your job for you, if you like that job very much, then I would be guilty of a big crime."

Meng Xia smiled, "Actually... when I reminded you to find an agent last time, I wanted to recommend myself, but... I was afraid that you would reject me. In fact, I am quite suitable for this job. I am good at dealing with people. Over the past year, I have also accumulated some contacts in the team and a lot of contacts in commercial resources, how about the boss?"

Lu Yusheng also smiled, "Of course it's no problem, I'm just worried about one thing."

"what's up?"

"I'm worried that if I don't become a star in the future and get kicked out by the team, wouldn't you also be laid off?" Lu Yusheng said.

"No way." Meng Xia said, "Hayu, let me tell you, you will definitely become a superstar."

"Even if I'm your boss in the future, there's no need to brag like that, right?"

"I'm not touting this. Today's commentator Mark Jackson also thinks so, so, Lu, you must have confidence in yourself."

"Okay." Lu Yusheng said with a smile, "Where is your hotel, I'll take you back. You drank too much, go to bed early."

"That's the hotel rented by the radio station. I've quit my job now. Is it suitable to go back to live? Besides, it's quite far from here." Meng Xia said.

Lu Yusheng: ...

She obviously didn't want to go back.

But it would be a bit unreasonable to bring her back to his apartment.

"It's okay, if it's inconvenient for you, just open a room for me in a hotel near where you live," Meng Xia said with a smile, "Anyway, I'll live with you from now on."

"This way, the hotel is opposite my apartment."

Lu Yusheng took her and opened a room for Meng Xia opposite his apartment.

After settling down with Meng Xia, she was about to leave.

But Meng Xia grabbed him at the door.

"Hanyu, thank you, thank you so much, if you weren't here today, my...my life might have been ruined by that old bastard..."

Lu Yusheng smiled shyly, "It's okay, it should be."

"Did you know that you became a hero twice today, once as a hero on the field and once as my hero." Meng Xia said affectionately, "Maybe, you are destined to become a hero in my life."

"Don't, it's too much. You will be my employee from now on. It is the boss's job to protect my own employees. So, don't say thank you anymore. I have to go back to rest. There will be training tomorrow morning. You Rest early, too."

"Ah."

Meng Xia hummed lightly, but there were all kinds of reluctance in his eyes.

Lu Yusheng didn't stay any longer, he turned around and left.

Meng Xia stared at each other for a while, worried that he would not be able to control himself.

Back in his apartment, Lu Yusheng still couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

He didn't know if his decision was right or not, after all, he knew very well that Meng Xia liked him.

Let her be his manager, and he can't be sure if anything will happen if he gets along with her day and night.

But in the situation just now, he had no better choice, so he could only do that.

Forget it, let's think about it later.

Lu Yusheng lay down and fell asleep.

……

During the team training the next day, general manager Kubchak also appeared in the venue.

After the training, Kubchak made a special speech.

Emphasized the timing of the players on the day before the game.

Zen master also added later that the playing time of future games will be arranged according to the performance of the players in the previous game.

This is obviously aimed at Odom and Bynum, and everyone knows it well.

But Smush Parker thought it was aimed at him.

He asked coldly, "Coach, I want to ask, if you don't even get the chance to play, how can you express yourself?"

Obviously, after the start of the season, Lu Yusheng almost completely took his place in only three games, which made him very unhappy.

This time, before the Zen master could speak, Kobe said, "Parker, I told you last season, and now I will repeat it again. Prove yourself with your performance on the field, don't use your mouth."

Smush Parker had no choice but to temporarily put away his dissatisfaction and said no more.

However, Lu Yusheng could feel that Smush Parker could hardly bear it anymore, and he was going to explode sooner or later.

On the third day, the team flew to Seattle for their second game of the season against the Sonics.

In this game, Lu Yusheng discovered that Bob Hill, coach of the Supersonics, did not appear on their bench.

He was replaced by Sonics assistant coach Dwayne Casey.

Lu Yusheng saw the official statement issued by the Sonics on the plane. They have ended their cooperation with coach Bob Hill, and coach Bob Hill stated in his own statement that he will bid farewell to basketball and the NBA in the future.

Lu Yusheng felt a little pity for Bob Hill in his heart, even though he didn't have any interaction with Bob Hill, and he didn't even say a word.

But after the last match, Lu Yusheng could clearly feel that this young coach possessed super high basketball wisdom, so it was a pity that his career ended like this.

The Sonics, which lost their head coach, looked very depressed in this game. Their players did not show revenge for the last game they lost, but looked very negative.

Including their team boss Ray Allen, he doesn't seem to have any desire to fight, and in this game, his three-pointers seem to have lost the focus of the previous game, with less than [-]% of his hits.

In this case, the Lakers easily resolved the battle in only three quarters.

In this game, Lu Yusheng still played well. When facing the Sonics in this state, Lu Yusheng could be said to have played bravely, scoring his best statistics, 20 points, 11 assists and 8 rebounds.

Two rebounds short, he almost won the first triple-double of his career.

After easily winning this victory, the Lakers have won four consecutive victories since their start.

This made the media praise them, and ESPN, a good thing, even ranked them among the championship teams this season.

As for Lu Yusheng, whether it is the local media in Los Angeles or other sports media in the United States, he has been praised to a whole new level, and many media have even identified him as the best rookie in advance.

However, under such circumstances, the whole Lakers team is not easy.

Even, in the new team training, no one showed a smile.

This is mainly because the opponent they will face next, the Miami Heat.

Everyone knows the grievances between the Lakers and the Miami Heat.

After the three consecutive championships, O'Neal and Kobe had increasingly serious conflicts. After the Lakers lost to the Pistons in the 2004 Finals, they patted their butts and went to the Miami Heat.

Both of them held their breath to prove themselves, but unfortunately, last season, that is, the first season after O'Neal arrived in the Heat, he took his younger brother Wade to win another championship.

Kobe, who has always refused to admit defeat, how can he bear this tone.

Therefore, in these two seasons, whenever the Lakers meet the Heat, it must be a tragic battle where sparks hit the earth.

Even if he didn't know about these grievances, Lu Yusheng could still feel the faint murderous aura in Kobe's eyes these two days.

Before this kind of competition, the good news media will naturally have to work hard to maximize the atmosphere.

After the Heat defeated the Bucks with a score of 112:90, ESPN reporters couldn't hold back and interviewed them about their next opponent, the Lakers.

"Shaq, I believe you have also watched the Lakers' games this season. They are in really good shape this season, especially after their first-round rookie joined the team this year, and they have a great run-in with the team. Moreover, they have With four consecutive victories, do you feel that you have the confidence to beat the Lakers like this?"

O'Neal took the microphone, "I won't go to the Lakers game, I'm not a Lakers fan, I have nothing to do with them, would anyone play for that team?"

The reporters laughed.

"Also, even if they have won four consecutive victories, we are not afraid of them. Don't forget, we have also won four consecutive victories."

The reporter said with a smile, "Shaq, you misremembered, you have three consecutive victories."

"No, it's a four-game winning streak," O'Neal said. "The fourth victory will be in Los Angeles."

The reporters laughed, that's what they wanted.

"Are you so confident? You know, Kobe was in very good form in the last game, and he even made the crucial last goal."

"Oh, I know he might be good, but we won't be afraid of that, Mr. Smith, we won't be afraid of a one-man team, and I repeat, the reason why the Miami Heat are the defending champions is because we are a unit, We don't have loners on our team, we don't have players with a broken pass button, you know what I mean?

As for the rookie you mentioned, come on, that's what you praised when Yao Ming came. A No. [-] pick is no more than that, let alone a first-round pick in the [-]s. So be it, Smith, next question. "

The reporter obviously got what they wanted, and laughed, "I know what you mean Shaq, but just to remind you, my name is Johnson."

……

The next day, Lu Yusheng saw a torn newspaper on the training ground, with a striking headline printed on it: "O'Neill: Kobe is a loner, can't pass the ball, and we are the defending champions"
