Basketball starts with breathing

Chapter 48 It's time to meet the parents in advance
After Jessica's explanation, Lu Yu finally figured out that this "Sport" magazine is not the famous "Sports Illustrated".

The full name of "Sports Illustrated" should be "Sports Illustrated".

The two are equivalent to the relationship between Li Gui and Li Kui.

But it's really hard to say who is Li Gui and who is Li Kui.

Speaking of the founding time of "Sports Illustrated", that is, "Sports Illustrated" is very early. In 1935, the Strauss brothers, the head of the American department store giant Macy's, founded a sports magazine called "Sports Illustrated".

But sales were poor, and the Trauss Brothers failed to invest, and Sports Illustrated shut down early.

In 1946, MacFadden Publishing Company in New York issued a sports monthly magazine called "Sport", which was sought after by many teenagers.

That said, Sport magazine was selling very well at that time.

Later, "Sports Illustrated" was reborn from the ashes. As a result, in less than half a year, it was beaten by "Sport" magazine and lost its armor. During this period, the overlord of sports newspapers was still "Sport", where Jessica practiced.

By 1954, the rivers and lakes had a resurgence. The Time Company, run by Henry Luce, the "Father of the Times", plans to enter the sports magazine industry.

At first, he planned to buy "Sport" magazine for $20, but "Sport" magazine insisted on asking for $25, and the two sides were at a stalemate.

At this point, the Strauss brothers stepped in and sold the rights to "Sports Illustrated" to Luce for only $[-].

On August 8 of that year, "Sports Illustrated" was launched again.

Of course, the previous two periods of history are rarely mentioned again, and the industry generally regards August 1954, 8 as the first publication day of "Sports Illustrated".

In contrast, "Sport" obviously has a longer history.

Therefore, it is impossible to distinguish between the two magazines who is Li Gui and who is Li Kui, but it took 12 years for "Sports Illustrated" to finally gain a firm foothold in the sports market, while "Sport" magazine's business has been deteriorating. On the 12th, it was announced that it would cease publication.

That is the day when Lu Yu went to help Jessica move the dormitory.

Lu Yu checked all the information about "Sport" magazine in the dormitory, sat in front of the computer blankly for a long time, and finally knocked on the table.

"It's him!"

……

The next day was New Year's Day, and Spokane was much busier.

In fact, the most lively festivals in the United States are not New Year's Day, but Christmas and Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, on Christmas and Thanksgiving some time ago, Lu Yu was playing away games.

But Lu Yu didn't feel much about these two festivals.

As for New Year's Day, that is, eating dumplings at a restaurant with Lu Chaoyang, there is nothing special about it.

In the next few days, the team trained normally. Although Lu Yu could not play in the next game, the training could not be missed. His teammates found silently that Lu Yu's training volume seemed to be more abnormal.

At the same time as training, Lu Yu has been paying attention to the news of "Sport". Fortunately, this asset seems to be too bad, and there has been no news of selling it.

Two days later, the team beat the St. Mary's Gaelic by a big score.

The Gaels are the underdogs of the West Coast League, and they have no chance of fighting back.

Without Lu Yu on the court, the teammates let go of their swipes, and the score was 102:48, which made Lu Yu wonder if these beasts were playing themselves on purpose.

The team won the game, but Lu Yu was called aside by Mark Foyou alone.

"Coach, what's wrong?" Lu Yu asked.

He also thought about going back to the school basketball court and fighting Blake Stepp for another 37 games. He just wondered if Blake Stepp, who had just played [-] minutes of the game, would scold him for bullying.

Mark Foyou was in a good mood after winning the game. He dragged him into the lounge and opened the door: "This is a reporter from China. I want to interview you. Let's talk."

After he finished speaking, he went out and closed the door.

Lu Yu was stunned when he saw Su Qun with glasses and a gentle face in front of him.

"Hello."

"Hello, I'm Su Qun, a reporter from Sports Weekly."

Su Qun stood up and stretched out his hand. Lu Yu shook hands with him and they sat down. He remembered that in the first NCAA game, Su Qun was sitting next to Lu Chaoyang. At that time, he thought he would interview after the game, but he didn't. Thinking of not even seeing a figure after the game.

Su Qun should be regarded as a big man among domestic basketball commentators in the future.

Have a good relationship with him, it's good and harmless.

"Actually, I wanted to interview you more than a month ago, but it was delayed by some things." Su Qun didn't disclose the matter that Lu Chaoyang asked him, and continued: "The match between your team and the National Youth Team was broadcast on CCTV a few days ago. Now, there is a high demand for interviewing you in China, and it is an honor to interview you, can the interview begin?"

Lu Yu smiled: "You ask."

It is also the first time that he has heard others talk about his influence in China now. Perhaps as domestic fans pay more and more attention to him, domestic advertising endorsements have come to the door?

However, Lu Yu knows that NCAA players do not give commercial endorsements.

He won't break this rule easily, because people who dance outside the rules sometimes die miserably,

Lu Yu just wanted to get in touch with domestic sports brands earlier.

Whether it is Ning Zi or Tread.

All can be used as the last insurance for their own acquisition of the copyright of "Sport" magazine.

……

It was late at night when the interview ended. Su Qun had to drive out the manuscript at night, and took a taxi back first. Lu Yu walked out of the arena alone.

A crescent moon hung in the night sky, and when I walked out of the door of the gym, I felt a gust of cold wind blowing through.

Spokane has entered winter, except that it doesn't snow, other times are colder than in the Northeast, and it's wet and cold, which is unbearable.

Braving the cold wind, Lu Yu was about to take a taxi back to school by the side of the road, but when he was just walking down the steps, he suddenly saw a familiar figure standing not far away. He walked over and saw that it was Anne Hathaway.

"Why are you here?" Lu Yu frowned slightly.

In the cold wind, Anne Hathaway was wearing a long white down jacket, her hands were shivering on her shoulders, and from time to time she put her hands to her mouth and breathed.

Seeing Lu Yu coming over, a look of joy appeared on her face.

"I asked the staff... They said you were inside..." She didn't dare to look directly at Lu Yu, and turned halfway around.

"Can you go in and find me?" Lu Yu looked at her defensively, a little unhappy.

"I, I dare not."

Anne Hathaway took out a neat stack of towels from her pocket and handed them over: "This is your towel from last time, I'll give it back to you."

The towel was the one that Lu Yu used to wipe Hathaway's sweat when Scarlett asked the crew to move things.

Lu Yu didn't take it back.

After Hathaway went back to wash up, she always wanted to find a chance to give it back to Lu Yu, but recently, either Lu Yu was in the game, or her own crew was filming. Taking time out to come, I originally heard that Lu Yu was suspended for this game, and was worried that Lu Yu was not there, so he found the arena staff, knowing that Lu Yu was inside, and decided to wait for Lu Yu at the door.

Instead of reaching for the towel, Lu Yu walked to the side of the road to stop a taxi and turned around and said, "Come on, come home with me."

"what?"

Anne Hathaway looked up in panic.

"You waited so late, you definitely didn't eat, go home with me, I'll ask Lao Lu to cook something to eat, and I'll take you back to school after dinner."

"No, no need."

The last time we ate together was because of Scarlett's strong request, and she agreed to go. If she and Lu Yu were allowed to eat alone, she would not dare.

Lu Yu suddenly sighed: "Didn't you send a text message last time to ask me if I was injured? Although I wasn't injured, I was suspended for the past two days and reprimanded by the coach several times. I was in a bad mood, so you should console me. Me, how about having a meal with me?"

Anne Hathaway hesitated for a moment before nodding: "That's fine, but after all, you can only go to your restaurant."

Anne Hathaway probably still has some precautions for Lu Yu. If she just goes to Lu Ji Chinese Restaurant, at least Lu Yu's father is in the shop, which is relatively safe.

It doesn't matter to Lu Yu, anyway, she will be his girlfriend in the future,

Just meet your parents in advance.

Well, I can't delay training because of talking about friends. I will continue to find Blake for training tomorrow. I hope he will cry and thank himself.

Great training!
　Thank you for the reward of the fanciful dimension! ...In the past two days, I have received a lot of recommendation tickets and monthly tickets from new and old friends.
