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

Chapter 198

After this game,
Lu Yusheng was also surrounded by media reporters who had fallen into madness.

The focus of this battle for No. [-] in the Western Conference will be broadcast live across the United States.

And the Lakers won the game by a big score in this way, which is really crazy.

"Lu, congratulations on winning this battle for the No. , why can you beat the rival Hornets so easily without Kobe?"

Lu Yusheng took the microphone and smiled slightly, and said, "First of all, I have to correct you, that is, it was not easy for us to win this game. You can say that the process was relatively easy because we won more scores. , fans who watched this game know that we played this game very easily. The New Orleans Hornets are a strong team, especially in the first half, they caused us a lot of trouble, Let us fall behind for a while, it is because of our constant tactical adjustments that we managed to persevere. Many times, the Hornets actually have the opportunity to open the score and completely end the game. It is my teammates who unite as one and hold on So, we absolutely cannot say that we won this game easily, in fact, it was not easy at all.”

Another reporter asked, "Lu, it's like this. The reason why this game has attracted national attention is that we all know that this game is not just the battle between the Lakers and the Hornets for the number one spot in the Western Conference. An important reason is that this game is the first conversation between you and Chris Paul. We all know that as a rookie last year, Chris Paul has grown into the hottest point guard in the league in just one year. , entered the first echelon, and you are even more exaggerated, even as soon as you entered the league, you have become the hottest point guard in the league, so for the two of you, you are actually in the position of point guard A future star."

"Don't, don't, don't mention the future star, the future nemesis, I'm a little confused." Lu Yusheng said.

The reporters laughed.

The reporter continued, "I'm just making an analogy, and when A Smith first brought up the name of the league's future point guard nemesis, we all thought he was crazy. traffic, but at this moment, we suddenly discovered that A Smith didn’t seem to be trying to make a topic, but just had a discerning eye, and he really discovered your potential before us.”

"No, no, don't say that," Lu Yusheng said, "I really can't bear this kind of hate-inducing nickname. I beg you to be more noble in the future, and don't give me this wrong."

The reporters all laughed, and the reporter continued to ask, "What I meant just now is that the reason why this game has received so much attention is that the duel between you and Chris Paul is indeed a big one to watch. But in this matchup, I think you still have the upper hand, so do you have anything to say about that?"

"This... actually can't be said that way," Lu Yusheng said, "In fact, NBA games are always a contest between two teams. Whether it's me or Chris Paul, in the game, it's just a matter of resoluteness. To implement the tactics we have arranged before the game, especially as a point guard, we must try our best to make our teammates play comfortably. Therefore, we can only say that everyone is doing their part, and we cannot say who is in front of whom It's unreasonable to have the upper hand."

"Lu, I think your words are a bit too extreme," another reporter said, "Although you are right, the game is indeed a contest between two teams, but the problem is that the core of the team is Their team leader, a team without a leader, is actually very difficult to become a strong team, and the contest between strong teams, in addition to the overall strength, is actually a contest between superstars,

Moreover, in this game between you and the Hornets, there were indeed a lot of scenes where you singled out Chris Paul in the low post, and many of them were successful, and your stats tonight did completely surround Chris Paul, So I think there's nothing wrong with saying you had the upper hand against him. "

Lu Yusheng smiled and said, "I know you guys want to make a big topic, but what I want to say is that there is really no need. I will say the same thing. Chris Paul is a very good point guard. In the past games, he was also the strongest group of point guards. I respect him a lot, and, as far as this game is concerned, I also learned a lot from him, so please don’t say that I take If we have the upper hand, we just perform our duties and do what we should do, that's all."

Seeing that Lu Yusheng was still not playing the game, the reporters looked for another angle.

"But we noticed that you still had some quarrels during the game, which means that you are actually fighting secretly, right?" the reporter asked.

"What does this mean?" Lu Yusheng laughed, "We are athletes, and we have to fight against each other on the court. Not only did I fight against Chris Paul, but I also fought against everyone on their team. You said the quarrel on the court, in fact, it is not a quarrel, but he is making fun of my nickname of the future league point guard nemesis, so if you think we are a quarrel, then this is definitely you guys The responsibility of journalists."

The reporters laughed. They realized that it was really difficult to get the news they wanted from Lu Yusheng.

One of the reporters asked, "Lu, today is the magician commenting on the away game. When he was commenting, he said that the tactic of playing the opponent's point guard in the low post is a problem for the coaches in the league. , This tactic will become a tactic that the league cannot solve in a short period of time, and therefore I think that you have a good chance of winning the championship this year, what do you think about this?"

Lu Yusheng said with a smile, "Well, you have to know that the Magician is the No.1 of our Lakers team and our legend. Of course, he really hopes that we can win the championship. Moreover, he will be the No. [-] player in the commentary. , a little partial to us, is this normal?
As for his saying that my tactic is a problem for the coaches of the entire league, I think this should be a little bit of encouragement from him to my younger generation. Powerful tactics, passed down to this day, how many excellent coaches have gone on to succeed, they all have super high basketball wisdom, my two strokes, in their eyes, it is simply a child's play, besides, I am just the beginning of the low post technique Learn, I don’t know how many seniors in the league are proficient in this tactic. Among other things, our Lakers have a master. I’m just getting started, and it’s really not as exaggerated as he said. "

Lu Yusheng's answer was basically watertight, leaving the reporters without any breakthroughs, so they had no choice but to give up and ask some irrelevant questions.

"Then what do you think, do you have any hope of winning the championship this year? Just like what Magic Johnson said."

"How should I put it, I think all players or teams who play in the league should have only one goal in mind, and that is to win the championship, especially for a giant team like the Lakers, because we have too brilliant history, so the fans have high expectations for us. Basically, if we don’t win the championship, it means that this season is a failure. As a rookie, there is still a lot to learn and improve, I can only say that I will do my best to let the Lakers go further this season."

Some of the reporters are still very concerned about Lu Yusheng's love life.

"Lu, I heard that you have a girlfriend before, but it seems that you have never seen your girlfriend appear in the public eye, so what I want to ask is, is this an excuse for you to avoid trouble, or...don't for what reason?"

"You want to ask me if I am gay, right? I am completely responsible to tell you that I am really not. The reason why my girlfriend insists on not appearing in the public eye is because I don't want her to be disturbed by the media, of course , if one day we two are going to get married, I will definitely inform everyone at that time. But before that, I hope everyone can stop guessing, I am really not gay." Lu Yusheng said.

The media reporters all laughed.

The interview after the game tonight made Lu Yusheng feel a little different.

The attitude of those media reporters towards him seemed to have become gentle all of a sudden, and they even looked at him with a little awe.

Lu Yusheng understood how many media and fans were not optimistic about the Lakers before the game, thinking that their strength was inferior to the Hornets, and that the reason why they were able to sit on the No. [-] throne in the Western Conference was somewhat due to some luck.

But in this game, in this head-to-head contest with what they said was an absolutely strong team, Lu Yusheng completely silenced them with a hearty victory.

Although Lu Yusheng seldom watches those, but he is indeed a bit too popular recently, so he always sees those media who question his ability intentionally or unintentionally.He is also holding back to prove himself.

Winning this head-to-head game against the New Orleans Hornets was almost a battle of proof for Lu Yusheng.

After this game, his ability to lead the team has finally been recognized by everyone. From the previous luck, now his strength has finally been affirmed.

From today onwards, few people would say that Lu Yusheng's ability to lead a team is all due to luck.

After the interview, Lu Yusheng went back to the locker room and looked around for Kobe, wanting to let him guide him after he went back.

Although Lu Yusheng's attitude towards the media just now was indeed very polite, but he also knew very well in his heart that his low post single play was indeed a strange move.

Especially in the face of the Spurs and New Orleans Hornets, the two strong western rivals, this tactic made them mess up, so he certainly knew that the magician's words were not just raising him. For the team, it is indeed a headache.

Therefore, Lu Yusheng decided to follow Kobe to polish this move well, making this move his regular weapon.

But unexpectedly, Kobe was not found after searching for a long time.

Kobe didn't even attend the team's media conference after the game. Lu Yusheng estimated that he probably left in a hurry.

But he suddenly discovered that the Zen master did not seem to be present at the media conference.

It wasn't until after attending the media conference that Lu Yusheng saw Kobe coming out of the player tunnel, his face was livid and he looked very unhappy.

What's going on here?
Lu Yusheng was hesitating, in his current state, should he ask him to guide him in extra training tonight.

Unexpectedly, Kobe beckoned directly to let him pass.

Lu Yusheng hurried over, "Where did you go? Why didn't you see you at the media conference?"

"Nothing," Kobe said. "Say something."

"Oh."

"Don't be in a hurry to go back after getting off the plane." Kobe said, "Wait for me."

"it is good."

Lu Yusheng laughed. He originally planned to invite Kobe to help him train, but he didn't expect Kobe to think the same way.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the Zen master coming out of the inner room, and his face was also not very good-looking. He glanced at Lu Yusheng, turned and left without saying anything.

Lu Yusheng was a little puzzled, did these two quarrel?

On the plane back to Los Angeles, Master Zen and Kobe did not have much communication. Kobe took today's game video and has been analyzing the situation on the field with Lu Yusheng and several other teammates.

The next game is also a fierce battle. They will face last season's overall runner-up, the Dallas Mavericks.

Although they lost to the Miami Heat in the finals last season, but unlike the poor state of the Miami Heat, this season, the Dallas Mavericks still showed good strength, and they only lost two games. , ranking on par with the San Antonio Spurs.

This is another bad battle for the Lakers, but the good news is that Kobe will be back in the next game.

When we arrived in Los Angeles, the plane landed slowly at the airport.

The others drove away separately.

Lu Yusheng followed Kobe to the parking lot of the airport, and asked curiously, "Did you quarrel with Phil?"

Kobe gave him a cold look, "What does it have to do with you?"

"Okay, then I'll take your car to the arena." Lu Yusheng said.

"Why take my car?" Bryant said, "What are you going to do in the arena?"

Lu Yusheng was taken aback, "You kept me...don't you want to give me special training? Besides...I don't have a car, so I'll take your car."

"Special training is fine, but you can't ride in my car." Kobe said seriously.

"Okay, then I'll take a taxi back."

"You can't go back in a taxi either," Bryant said.

Lu Yusheng: "??? Then how do I go back?"

Kobe blew a whistle, not far away, a red sports car suddenly turned on its lights!

The roar of the motor is thunderous!
A brand new Ferrari! ! !
Lu Yusheng looked at Kobe in disbelief.

Kobe smiled, "I promised you the bet, and I cashed in."
