Basketball starts with breathing

Chapter 116 I agree this time
Lu Yu originally thought that Ding Shizhong would contact him only after the draft conference was settled.

Because at that time it was possible to determine which team Lu Yu would be selected by, and the future would be clearer. Anta would be more confident, and Lu Yu would have more negotiating capital.

I just didn't expect Ding Shizhong to call in advance.

"Hey, Mr. Ding, it's been a long time, why did you suddenly remember to call me..." Lu Yu turned down the TV's voice while talking to Ding Shizhong on the phone.

"What, you have already arrived in the United States. I have time these days. Are you coming to Spokane?"

Lu Yu was stunned.

Ding Shizhong didn't come to the United States to talk about business as he said. By the way, he came to see Lu Yu. This is a courtesy of a domestic businessman. If nothing else, he should talk about the details of the endorsement contract.

Ding Shizhong can't sit still?
Lu Yu suddenly remembered that the competition among domestic sports brands has been fierce in recent years. In addition to Li Ning's threat to Anta, the current Hongxing Erke, 361 degrees, and even Delhui noble birds can make Anta unable to sit still, let alone hooks and three bars. As well as the squeeze of brands like Reebok.

"Let's talk about it when we meet. I don't mind fighting for more for myself."

In business, Lu Yu thought to himself.

"By the way, Lu Yu, I have another news to tell you." Lu Yu could clearly hear that Ding Shizhong was deliberately pretending to be nonchalant: "I heard from friends in the Sports Bureau that the Basketball Association has plans to recruit you into the national team. ."

"Oh, is it?" Lu Yu was not surprised.

Lu Chaoyang mentioned this matter, and was beaten back by Lu Chaoyang with a Tai Chi, but he is far away in the United States, and he does not know the situation in China. Maybe Ding Shizhong has any first-hand information.

"There is a high demand for you to join the national team in China." Ding Shizhong continued: "Head coach Wang Fei even said in a media interview that he would personally come to the United States to invite you."

Come in person?
Lu Yu frowned slightly.

This is a little trickier.

After all, he still owed Wang Fei's favor.

"I will communicate with Wang Fei well, please rest assured, Mr. Ding." Lu Yu gave Ding Shizhong a reassurance.

Ding Shizhong was obviously relieved: "That's good, I also have friends in the Sports Bureau. Let's meet in Spokane and talk."

After speaking, he hung up the phone.

Lu Yu sat there and pondered for a long time. All Ding Shizhong was worried about was the conflict between Lu Yu and the Basketball Association, but fortunately there was Wang Fei as the coordinator.

His last sentence said that he also had friends in the Sports Bureau, and he also planned the worst for Lu Yu.

Lu Yu knew that the national team had to play sooner or later, but there were three games in one summer: the East Asian Games, the Asian Championships and the Universiade. Lu Yu had to choose which one to play.

If he has to play, he wants to play the Asian Championships.

After all, there is the Lebanon game, and you can also increase your breathing in a fight.

……

On TV, the Philadelphia 76ers and the Lakers are in full swing.

Lu Yu didn't want to look any further.

He also knows the result of this game. The Lakers generally won 11 consecutive victories in the playoffs this year, but in the first game of the finals, the 56ers' first game with only 26 wins and 76 losses in the regular season made the Lakers lose their way.

This year can be said to be the heyday of the Lakers dynasty. The Purple and Gold Corps, which won a championship last year, showed a strong dominance and swept through the playoffs.

The Lakers swept their opponents in the first three rounds, and finally met the injured 3ers in the finals.

Estimate the strength of the two teams only on the surface, the 76ers are not the opponents of the Lakers at all, the outside world is almost unanimously optimistic about the Lakers sweeping the 76ers.

Sweeping, as if it was already doomed.

It's not that the 76ers are too weak, it's not that Iverson is not strong enough, but the OK combination is the only one, and their combat effectiveness is really too strong.

However, Iverson did not bow his head. He was eager to compete, to win, and to defeat his opponent.

Today's game is the first match between the two teams.

艾弗森的速度让湖人的防线漏洞百出，在第三节中段，艾弗森已经拿下38分帮76人73-58领先了15分之多。

The 76ers' attack focus was almost all on guard Allen Iverson. The result of this game was that Iverson pitched 41 balls, hit 18 and scored 48 points.

In order to limit Iverson in the second half, Jackson was forced to use Tyronn Lue to try his luck, and he sent this small guard with a similar height and hairstyle.

As a result, although this guy has nothing to do, he happened to be able to keep up with Iverson in speed, and the Lakers tied the game in regular time.

In the crucial overtime, Iverson got rid of Lue's entanglement, made consecutive shots, and finally won the game.

The 76ers had the last laugh.

On the premise that Lu Yu already knew the result of the game, he had troubles, so he simply left Yi Jianlian to watch the game alone, and walked out of the restaurant himself.

Unconsciously, Lu Yu walked over to the crew at Gonzaga University, where Anne Hathaway had just finished filming.

She was wearing a thick costume, the sweat on her forehead had soaked her hair, and her whole face was flushed like a ripe apple.

"Is it hot?"

Lu Yu asked, then found a fan from the props of the crew and handed it over.

The crew obviously knew Lu Yu as well. After all, Lu Yu came here a lot during this time, and Lu Yu was too famous in Spokane.

Annie shook her head, took the fan and fanned it twice, then turned sideways and stood on Lu Yu's right.

If he fanned the wind like this, Lu Yu could also fan a little.

"Have you had dinner?"

Lu Yu said suddenly.

"Have a hamburger." Anne Hathaway whispered.

"Just eat a hamburger, go and eat something with me."

Without waiting for Anne Hathaway to agree, Lu Yu grabbed her hand, stopped after just two steps, looked at Anne, shook his head and said, "You better go and change your clothes first."

Annie nodded hurriedly, trotted all the way back to the dressing room, and hurried over after changing into her long white dress.

Cheeks were flushed, and breathing was a little uneven.

This physique lacks exercise.

The two came to the school cafeteria, ordered some food, and sat in the cafeteria to eat. At this time, the school was closed, and there were not many students left in the school. They sat in the corner and no one noticed.

The two talked a lot.

Basically, Lu Yu is talking.

Anne Hathaway is only responsible for nods and um.

However, neither of the two mentioned that the crew was about to end filming.

After the filming ended, Anne Hathaway lost her job. She didn't even know where her next job was. She was not a famous actress like Scarlett Johansson. The filming of this drama was not finished, and the schedule for the next one was due. Just took it.

Her job is to have a job without a job.

Coupled with her introverted personality, she is destined to be unpopular in the entertainment industry.

After the meal, Lu Yu was in a better mood, leaving the troubles of his career behind, and the two walked side by side in the hazy moonlight.

Until I walked downstairs to the hotel where Annie lived.

"I'm going to be a little busy lately."

Lu Yu thought about it and said.

Anta's signing, the draft conference, and maybe returning to China to train with the national team to participate in the competition, think about it, there are still a lot of things.

"Oh, then you pay attention to your body."

Annie didn't know how to answer.

Lu Yu smiled and touched her head: "Okay, I'm leaving."

When you're done, turn around and leave.

But after walking a few steps, he looked back subconsciously and saw Anne Hathaway still standing in the same place under the dim light at the entrance of the hotel.

"I'll come back to you when I'm done, and you'll be my girlfriend, okay?"

Lu Yu said suddenly.

Anne Hathaway stared at Lu Yu blankly.

"Forget it, you didn't agree last time."

Lu Yu realized that he was impulsive, and made an excuse to cover up the problem. After all, there was still Jessica waiting for him. Before finishing Annie, he had to find a way to appease Jessica.

To be honest, Lu Yu felt a little guilty for Jessica.

At first, because of the impression of his previous life, he didn't have a cold for Jessica, but as he got along for a long time, he found that Jessica was very good.

He even made himself feel guilty for using Jessica as a tool.

The reason why he pursued Annie is very simple. He has always liked it in his past life or this life.

Lu Yu didn't stop, for fear that Annie would really agree and leave this time.

It wasn't until she couldn't see Lu Yu's back that Anne Hathaway whispered to herself.

"I agree this time."
