Basketball starts with breathing

Lu Yu rejected the invitation of the three-point contest and the skill contest, and chose to participate in this year's dunk contest.

This year's slam dunk contest could not have aroused the interest of fans, because the other three contestants were Josh Smith, Amare Stoudemire, and JR Smith.

But Lu Yu participated, and everything became different.

This is the first time in Lu Yu's career to participate in the dunk contest!
NBA officials have tried every means to allow fans to participate in the activities. This year's All-Star Weekend also invited many actors, singers and athletes from other sports.

For the slam dunk contest, there is even a quiz with prizes for fans.

The slam dunk contests in the past few years have made fans feel that there is no meaning at all. This year is much more fun. Not only will they have the opportunity to take home the grand prize, but they will also have the opportunity to witness the league's No.1 slam dunk contest for the first time.

On February 2, at the Madison Square Garden in New York, the All-Star Game officially kicked off. The embarrassing thing is that no player from the New York Knicks was selected. The team boss Alan Houston has been playing and stopping since the beginning of the season. I know, but Lu Yu knows that Alan in his previous life chose to retire before the start of the next season.

The Suns came to New York early, because many of them participated in the All-Star Weekend this year.

Richardson in the three-point contest.

Nash participates in a skills contest.

Lu Yu participated in the dunk contest.

In the All-Star Game, Nash, Marion and Lu Yu were all selected, so this year's Suns team has a bumper harvest.

After Lu Yu came to New York, he was called out by Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi to find a place to eat Chinese food. In the end, he chose Lu Ji Restaurant after a lot of choices.

Lu Yu felt that they just didn't want to pay.

After dinner, they strolled casually in New York. It was rare to be as leisurely as today. They usually come to New York and leave after the game. When shopping, Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi accidentally discovered that Lu Yu seemed to be very familiar with the streets of New York.

Especially familiar with where the various hotels in New York are.

When you come to the Knicks to play games, don’t you stay in the hotel that the team booked uniformly? Generally, it doesn’t change a few times in a season, but Lu Yu seems to have stayed in all of them.

What made them speechless the most was that Lu Yu disappeared while walking around.

In the future, the three elders will never come out to shop again, and they will be surrounded by fans and not talk about it.

Where did Lu Yu go?
Of course, Scarlett Johansson gave me a phone call. It's a rare weekend to rest. It's okay to play games for a while.

During the All-Star Media Day event, Lu Yu became the star who attracted the attention of fans and the media. Reporters kept asking him about basketball and gossip. The American media is not as professional as the Chinese media, which only focus on basketball.

A Chinese reporter asked about the upcoming cooperation with Yao Ming, how do you feel?
Lu Yu said: "Is it possible that we are both centers? Two centers are on the court? Popovich's brain is not capable of playing like this, isn't it lack of heart?"

The American reporter was less polite: "Some media saw you dating Scarlett Johansson yesterday, may I ask if you and Scarlett Johansson are in a relationship." …

Lu Yu explained: "Scarlett? Are you talking about the very famous actress Scarlett Johansson? She is really beautiful. If she is willing, I am happy to fall in love with her, provided that yesterday she You are dating me... If I am really in love someday, I will definitely make it public."

Run the train with your mouth full, there are people outside who are rumoring that Lu Yu has a child.

But there is no evidence, and no one knows whether it is true or false.

A reporter asked Lu Yu to comment on his opponent in the All-Star Game, Shaq O'Neal.

Lu Yu said with a smile: "He is very powerful. He once ruled the league for a while, but time is a killing knife. I'm not sure how much his offensive ability has declined now, but I'm sure that his defensive ability has declined significantly. I I'm glad I didn't meet Shaquille O'Neal in his prime, otherwise I might have been miserable."

In fact, the year Lu Yu first entered the league was O'Neal's peak period.

Even in the two seasons when Lu Yu won the championship, the Lakers' O'Neal was not far from the peak.

O'Neal's real decline was in the Heat's season, when the scoring average fell directly below the 20-point mark, and instead of 19 points, it fell to 17 points.

At 30, he's still averaging 27.5 points and 11.1 rebounds.

In just 4 years, he fell into the ranks of first-line players.

He is also 34 years old and is also a super giant in history. Why is O'Neal's data dropping so obviously?
In the 90s, when the league's four major centers were at the forefront, O'Neal emerged in the NBA, and many team managers also believed that the insiders won the world.

Therefore, the NBA inside at that time was purely hand-to-hand, although O'Neal was good at using his weight, simplifying offensive moves to score, and did not suffer major injuries in his career.However, his weight is 300 pounds, and he has been in a state of internal melee for a long time, which has increased his physical load. After the peak age of his career, his state will definitely show a downward trend.

You can think of O'Neal as a high-profile version of Zion.

And it is equipped with more than one configuration.

There is another reason why O'Neal has fallen the most. It is that he and Iverson have the same problem and don't like training.

Jordan, Kobe, James and Malone are all training lunatics.

Kobe starts training at 4 a.m. every day, and James spends millions of dollars a year on healthy recipes.O'Neill has a humorous personality and doesn't like daily training.

O'Neal in Lu Yu's previous life once said: "During the three consecutive championships, I knew that Kobe would train hard to improve himself, so I was lazy if I could."

In terms of diet, O'Neal is a famous foodie, eating at least five meals a day.

The lack of restraint in training and diet is also one of the main reasons why O'Neal can't maintain his form at the age of 34.

The Rookie Challenge kicks off on Friday,
The second-year team defeated the first-year team 113 to 107, and Carmelo Anthony was suffocating. Why did Wade and James both make it to the All-Star Game, and I still have to play in the Rookie Challenge.

In this game, he made a strong outside shot, performed well, and won the final MVP.

Yi Jianlian also performed well, which is remarkable.

Moreover, Yi Jianlian's style of play reminded Zhang Weiping of Lu Yu from last season. Rather than being like Lu Yu, he might as well be like Wang Zhizhi, who is more physically fit. …

When playing power forward, Lu Yu found that his style of play was somewhat similar to that of Wang Zhizhi.

Otherwise, after Wang Zhizhi said that he was going to the Bulls, Lu Yu readily agreed, because Wang Zhizhi went to the Bulls and could directly take his place.

In the three-point contest on the second day, Richardson won the honor of the three-point king without any suspense.

He is so accurate, and his shooting speed is so fast, Lu Yu sometimes competes with him for three-pointers, and feels that if he is not careful, he will lose.

Coincidentally, Nash won the skill contest.

All eyes are on the slam dunk contest to see if Lu Yu can win the slam dunk championship. If Lu Yu wins, then all the honors this year will be taken away by the Suns.

Lu Yu was not polite, and directly took out a set of combos.

What Griffin's leap car, Gordon's leap mascot changed hands under the hip, the scorpion swung its tail for a dunk, and finally came to a Zach Lavin-style free throw line for a crotch dunk.

The audience was amazed.

Countless people exclaimed that after watching Lu Yu's dunk, it was more shocking than watching Carter's dunk.

Lu Yu dunked this time, and in the next ten years, there will be no more good-looking dunk contests.

There is no dispute that Lu Yu won the slam dunk championship in this slam dunk contest.

The most important thing is that the previous slam dunk kings would pay tribute to their predecessors. To put it bluntly, they paid tribute to their seniors. To put it bluntly, they just didn’t even think about how to dunk. They just copied the ideas of their predecessors and gave them a name of tribute, which is not considered plagiarism. .

And Lu Yu's dunk moves are original from beginning to end, without imitation at all.

The activities of the first two days are appetizers. On Sunday, the East and West All-Star Game will be staged.

The training venues of the Eastern and Western All-Star teams are next to each other. Although the others belong to the Eastern and Western Conferences, they all greet each other, but Kobe and O'Neal do not respond to each other.

The relationship between the two of them is deadlocked, and everyone in the entire alliance knows it.

Before, because they were in the same team, the two of them were restrained, but now they belong to different camps, so they don't pretend at all. I just don't like you, so what can you do.

It's hard to tell which of the two of them is right or wrong.

Lu Yu chatted with Kobe, Kobe also invited Lu Yu to the Lakers, Lu Yu was a little bit tempted, but if he went to the Lakers, who would be the boss.

This is a problem.

Kobe seems to be stimulated now, and he really wants to prove himself.

More or less, there are reasons for Lu Yu.

Lu Yu put too much pressure on him. Kobe never knew that he would lose to his peers, let alone that when he first reached his peak, he would lose to someone younger than himself.

Kobe has been O'Neill's younger brother for so many years, and finally the ugly daughter-in-law has become a mother-in-law. He must want to start a career on his own.

As for the scatter between him and O'Neal, it's not all because of him. The main reason is that the Lakers management thinks O'Neal is too old. The only thing the Lakers management regrets now is that they traded O'Neal too early. I didn't expect that Lu Yu would also be traded that summer. Otherwise, exchanging O'Neill for Lu Yu would not be a safe profit.

Afterwards, the Lakers management was unwilling to bear the infamy of trading O'Neal away, and naturally pushed Kobe to the front. …

Then he shrunk back.

Do you want to be the boss?

it is good!
Blocked this wave of gun holes for me.

Kobe, who was originally not good at words, carried everything silently, which also caused him and O'Neal to be in trouble now.

Lu Yu didn't know how to help Kobe, he couldn't help Kobe win the Lakers championship without letting go of the Suns' championship this year.

This is not realistic.

Before the start of the game in the evening, many fans predicted that the Western team would definitely win, which made David Stern very depressed.

Because as the president of the league, the East and West All-Star teams can only have ratings if they have suspense. The All-Star Game without any suspense seems to make fans fall asleep watching it, so there is no attraction.

But in fact, in Lu Yu’s previous life, in the 2005 All-Star Game, the Western United team with Yao Ming as the center lost 115-125 to the Eastern United team with O’Neal. Yao Ming scored 11 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 cap.

最终艾弗森以13投4中、罚球7罚7中，拿到15分、4个篮板、9次助攻、5次抢断当选全明星赛MVP，全场艾弗森13投仅4中，并且出现了7次失误，使得“最有价值球员”称号显得成色不足。

But in terms of assists and points, Iverson led the team.At the critical moment of the fourth quarter, he controlled the game.

The 15-point All-Star Game MVP is a bit embarrassing to say.

At that time, the voting mechanism for the All-Star Game had not yet been reformed. With our support, Yao Ming was elected the All-Star Game vote leader and served as the starting center for the Western Conference.

That season, Yao Ming averaged 18.3 points, 8.4 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game. Under the leadership of the "Yao-Mai combination", the Rockets broke into the first round of the playoffs and won the longest 22-game winning streak in team history.

04-05赛季，麦迪刚来到火箭队并为其出战了78场比赛，场均可以得到25.7分、6.2个篮板、5.7次助攻、1.7次抢断以及0.7个封盖，并成为火箭队史上第一个能够同时达到单赛季2000分、400个篮板和400次助攻数据的球员。

This season, McGrady was not only selected as the Western Conference starter in the All-Star Game, but also selected to the third team of the best team.

Thinking about it, I really miss the Yao-Mai combination.

Lu Yu sighed for a while, cheered up, and prepared to play.

When players from both sides played, the Western All-Star team won applause from the audience, and their popularity was significantly better than that of the Eastern Conference.

Only when Lu Yu played, he was booed by the audience, not because Lu Yu was unpopular, but because he was so popular, the fans booed him to express their love for him.

Because Lu Yu once said that he would be the number one villain in this alliance.

How can you give applause when the villain comes on stage?
So Lu Yu's appearance was completely different from other people's appearance. The audience booed all over the sky, but this time the boos were different from the past. The previous boos were full of anger and hatred, but this time, boos It's full of joy.

But one person is doomed to be lost.

That's Carter.

Without Lu Yu, he would have become the most popular star in the league, at least he used to be.

Lu Yu just wanted to tell him: "I have something to do with Mao."

The reason why Carter's popularity has declined is largely because his emotional intelligence is too low, and a sentence can be turned over and over again, especially the fact that Jordan was the starter that year. Since then, Jordan has hated it to death him.

Jordan hates many people, and Jordan still hates Lu Yu.

But this is different. Jordan hates Lu Yu, but he does not deny that Lu Yu is very strong.

Jordan hates Carter and doesn't bother to comment at all. He even said don't compare Carter with himself, obviously looking down on Carter.

Lu Yu didn't think much about it either. After all, he was no longer in the same position as the current four shooting guards, and there were very few opportunities to match up. His opponent today is only O'Neal.

After some nonsense from the host, the game finally started.
