Basketball starts with breathing

Chapter 7 Father and Son

Sunday.

Lu Yu got up from the bed.

Lu Chaoyang was sitting on a reclining chair at the entrance of Lu Ji Chinese Restaurant, basking in the sun.

Seeing Lu Yu coming out of the house, a hint of surprise appeared in Lu Chaoyang's eyes.

"Why did you get up so early?" Lu Chaoyang asked with a smile.

"Isn't today a weekend? I'm thinking about not sleeping in and getting up to help you do the day's work." Lu Yu said while squatting on the side of the road while brushing his teeth.

"Didn't you go to practice?"

Lu Chaoyang said directly.

"Of course... no, I haven't practiced, I've been studying hard." Lu Yu quibble.

There was a smile on Lu Chaoyang's mouth. This kid really thought he could hide it, but he still didn't want to tell him about this old man.

Thinking about it, he has not been allowed to touch basketball for all these years. He already has a psychological shadow, and subconsciously began to avoid such problems.

"Go somewhere with me." Lu Chaoyang got up and locked the door of the restaurant.

Lu Yu could only put down the toothbrush and follow Lu Chaoyang.

After walking a few streets, Lu Yu and Lu Chaoyang came to a dilapidated community. There was a brand new basketball hoop in the open space downstairs of the community. Lu Chaoyang pointed and said, "Well, I bought this basketball hoop. You can come back later. You can practice here when you're home."

"Practice?"

Lu Yu was stunned, looking at the basketball hoop in front of him, the silver-gray base, the orange-red ball rim, and the net hanging on the frame swaying gently with the breeze.

"Come on, go in and have a try." Lu Chaoyang patted Lu Yu and pulled him to the innermost.

Lu Yu's heart jumped wildly, and he walked in with Lu Chaoyang.

"Snapped!"

Lu Chaoyang took out a basketball from behind the basketball hoop. Seeing that Lu Yu was still in a daze, he said nothing, "Come on, catch the ball."

Lu Yu reached out to catch the basketball, patted it, and came to the free throw line. Lu Chaoyang smiled and said, "How do you feel?"

"very good."

"Take one." Lu Chaoyang pointed to the basket.

A jump shot, slowly stretch out the body, when the arm is about to straighten, the left hand protects the ball, the right wrist gently flicks, and finally the fingers and the basketball say goodbye.

After Lu Yu landed, he still kept shooting, watching the basketball draw a perfect arc and turn into the basket, making a "swoosh" sound.

Lu Chaoyang clapped his hands and clapped: "How long have you been practicing for a very standard shooting posture?"

Lu Yu thought for a while and replied, "One year... No, I only practiced shooting for half a year."

Lu Chaoyang looked at Lu Yu, who was a little flustered, with a doting face. Lu Yu was still worried that he would be scolded by him. For the first time, Lu Chaoyang felt a deep sense of guilt.

"Come on, let's have a shooting game." Lu Chaoyang decided to open up and chat with Lu Yu this time.

"I definitely can't vote for you, Dad." Lu Yu said humbly.

"Why, didn't you even win Dan Dicko, are you afraid of losing to me, a retired basketball player?" Lu Chaoyang joked.

Lu Yu didn't answer anymore, just picked up the basketball and walked beyond the three-point line. Now he has gradually guessed some of Lu Chaoyang's thoughts.

It's always a good thing.

One old and one young will have fun playing the shooting game.

After an unknown amount of time, the two finally stopped, and Lu Yu stretched out his hand and gestured: "Ten to seven, this is the fifth game I won."

Lu Chaoyang wiped his forehead with the sleeve of his shirt, and lay on the ground panting: "I lost."

He didn't expect that Lu Yu would be so accurate.

"Dad is also very good." Lu Yu said with a smile. After the match just now, he felt that the distance between himself and Lu Chaoyang was much closer than before.

"I'm old and useless. I think I was a sharpshooter in the national team back then. Do you know Hu Weidong? I'm still his master."

"so smart?"

Waking up for a drink in the morning?
"Of course, don't look at that kid Hu Weidong is now the MVP and the three-pointer. He used to play against me, and he is still far behind." Lu Chaoyang's eyes were full of memories of the past.

"No, weren't you the water dispenser manager before?" Lu Yu asked with interest. In his memory, Lu Chaoyang seemed to be a player at the end of the national team's bench. A game didn't last a few minutes, but listening to Lu Chaoyang If so, that doesn't seem to be the case.

Lu Chaoyang looked at Lu Yu, and his tone revealed a touch of indifference: "I'm injured, no matter how powerful an athlete is, they can't resist the torment of an injury. In a warm-up match before the Los Angeles Olympics, I injured my knee during a breakthrough. After a fall, he retired, and he brought you here to open a small restaurant."

When Lu Chaoyang said the end, he laughed self-deprecatingly.

Lu Yu suddenly didn't know what to say.

"So I tell you, as a player, you must protect your body and don't let your body suffer from injuries. Health is the guarantee for the continuation of your basketball career." Lu Chaoyang suddenly became serious.

"Ok?"

Lu Yu was stunned for a moment: "You mean..."

Lu Chaoyang smiled proudly: "Yes, I'm afraid you don't know, your coach Ma... ahem, it's Linda, Linda told me the news of your joining the basketball team, I thought about it for a long time and thought I should support you ."

"Thank you dad."

Lu Yucai doesn't care whether there is a story between Lu Chaoyang and Mark Foyou, as long as he can get Lu Chaoyang's support, he can play on the Gonzaga basketball team.

The breeze blew the Nets, and Lu Chaoyang breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the smiling Lu Yu, he suddenly felt that the softest part of his heart was gently touched.

……

In the evening, the sunset reflects the setting sun.

Lu Yu and Lu Chaoyang waved goodbye and returned to Gonzaga on a small electric motorcycle.

Snoopy was already waiting for him in the cafeteria. He was very angry that Lu Yu was mean yesterday, and sneaked to the Manhattan Arena by himself.

"I didn't expect you to join the basketball school team."

Snoopy looked incredible.

"God, what did you secretly do when I wasn't here yesterday? Did your father sell his body and ask Linda to intercede for you? You just entered the basketball team."

Snoopy has been beeping for a long time since he heard the news that Lu Yu joined the Bulldogs... In fact, he is envious.

Lu Yu was not bothered either, he smiled and watched Snoopy nagging alone.

Snoopy continued to complain, suddenly stopped, looked at Lu Yu strangely, and looked up and down: "Lu, I feel something is wrong with you today..."

Lu Yu frowned slightly: "What's wrong?"

"You seemed very happy today and said, did you get Jessica, Shet, I knew you weren't just to get into the team, and it wouldn't be as harmless as it looked, but I didn't Thinking of you being such a beast." Snoopy's heart ached.

"Go to your uncle."

Lu Yuqi uttered a sentence of national quintessence, and then said, "It's okay to tell you, my dad told me today that he supports me in playing basketball and also supports me joining the Gonzaga basketball team."

"Really?"

Snoopy was skeptical: "Why do I feel that it is more reliable for you and Jessica to have an affair?"

Lu Yu: "..."

"Well, I believe you, who made you my brother."

Snoopy was very happy when he heard that Lu Yu's father supported Lu Yu to play ball. As a roommate, even though it was only two months, he saw with his own eyes how hard Lu Yu put in to practice ball.

"As far as I know, the Bulldogs have three ace, captain Casey Green, Dan Dickau, who transferred over this year, you've seen both of them, and the other is this year's freshman, Blake Sturt. Pu, that is him, basically overlaps your position and is your main competitor." Snoopy lowered his voice and told Lu Yu the information he had collected.

"Blake Stepp..."

"Yes, that's the name. I heard that he scored 26 points in the team's first team training game. You must know that he was on the bench at the time." Snoopy continued to analyze to Lu Yu .

Lu Yu nodded with a firm look in his eyes: "No matter what, I will replace him."

It is said that college basketball is the purest basketball, but who knows that every player here is also full of hostility and competition?

Everyone thought that this player from China would be the same as many Chinese people living in the United States. He was moderate and forbearing. Only Lu Yu knew his temperament.
If the opponent deliberately targets himself during the team training, he will definitely find a way to fight back!
If the other party didn't target him, then Lu Yu would use his strength to step on his body and crush him!
Snoopy just looked at Lu Yu worriedly. He had seen Black's strength. He was very strong. Can Lu Yu really win?
he does not know.
