Basketball starts with breathing

Chapter 122 The Dust Settles
What a retribution!
When Lu Yu first entered the small green house, he was still thinking that he didn't want to go to the Bulls.

I didn't expect the retribution to come so quickly, the less you want it, the more it comes, it's like playing mahjong and listening to it, knowing that there are nine pieces of batter, but just touch the cards in your hand, nine sticks!
You say irritating is not irritating.

He suddenly thought of Elton Brand, who was to be traded. Isn't this guy Tyson Chandler, who was traded by the Bulls and the Clippers?
After co-authoring for a long time, now replace Chandler with yourself?

"Hello, Lu, what do you think of being selected by the Clippers?" A blond reporter interviewed Lu Yu with a microphone.

Lu Yu glanced at it, ESPN reporter, it was clearly written on the badge.

They should not have received the news that they were traded. It can be seen that Snoopy's work ability is still very good. Perhaps it is a different level. After all, Snoopy is the media boss, and these reporters are just employees.

"I'm very happy to join the Los Angeles Clippers. Los Angeles is a great city, and my friend Kobe is there. Although it's not a team, at least in a city where we can train together."

Lu Yu did not disclose the news that he was traded.

Before the Bulls and Clippers made an announcement, he seemed pretentious to say the news himself.

What's more, if there is a change, wouldn't it be very slap in the face.

Another reporter next to him said lukewarmly: "I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed. The news we got is that Lu, you may be traded to Chicago. I want to ask, will you report to Chicago?"

Lu Yu glanced at the reporter in surprise. When he saw that the microphone held by the other party was Sports Illustrated, it was not surprising.

No one pays more attention to Lu Yu than Sports Illustrated.

They even cared more about himself than Lu Yu.

Lu Yu gave everyone the impression of being thorny before, thanks to Michael Jordan's publicity, and the Chicago Bulls are notoriously bad teams in the league, and the team is full of bastards who play and fight. Press It makes sense that Lu Yu would not be willing to join such a bad team.

So the reporter from Sports Illustrated directly asked Lu Yu if he would go to Chicago to report.

Lu Yu showed a surprised expression, making Snoopy beside him marvel at his acting skills.

"Chicago? I didn't expect that I was traded to the Bulls. It really surprised me. Of course I will report. I like the windy city, although it will be a bit cold, but I believe the Bulls will make me feel warmth."

Snoopy secretly gave Lu Yu a thumbs up. Lu Yu's words were almost perfect. I believe that the Bulls players would also be overflowing with maternal love when they heard this.

"As you all know, my nickname is 'Gentleman', wouldn't it be cool to add 'Windy City' to the front."

Windy City Gentleman?

The reporters present seemed to have caught the headline of tomorrow's news at once.

At this time, a familiar reporter face was crowded into the crowd, and Lu Yu quickly pointed with his finger and said, "Please make it up to him, that's my friend."

All the reporters gave way, and Su Qun let out a long sigh.

It is not easy to interview Lu Yu now.

"Reporter Su, are you here too?" Lu Yu greeted him.

"Yeah, didn't I want to interview you?" Su Qun is still a reporter for "Sports Weekly". He quickly entered the role and asked, "Mr. Lu Yu, I want to ask, after the draft is over, what will you do? Will you choose to return to China to participate in the national team training camp?"

"The national team?"

Lu Yu smiled and said, "I haven't received a call from Coach Wang Fei. I can give you an answer when I get the call."

The voice did not fall.

Snoopy rushed to Lu Yu and shook the mobile phone in his hand. When he told Lu Yu the news beside Lu Yu, Lu Yu handed over the mobile phone to him before starting the interview.

Lu Yu signaled to the reporters that the interview was over.

Then he walked over to Snoopy, took the phone, and saw a missed call.

It is Wang Fei.

……

A cafe next to Madison Square in New York.

Lu Yu called up Su Qun and met Wang Fei, the current head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, in this cafe.

Su Qun wanted to know the answer to the question, but Lu Yu didn't tell him just now.

Just bring him, let him witness.

After all, Lu Yu also wanted to take this opportunity to increase his popularity in the country to a higher level. At this time, Sports Weekly, which ranks among the top domestic sports newspapers, is undoubtedly a good choice.

Of course it would be better if it was CCTV.

It's a pity that CCTV didn't broadcast it for some reason.

"I heard that you were traded to the Bulls?" Wang Fei asked while stirring the coffee with a spoon.

"Yes."

Lu Yu sighed: "I originally planned to go to Dallas, but I can't go now."

Wang Fei smiled and said, "Then the favor you owe me is gone. I've lost a lot this time."

Su Qun was at a loss as he listened on the sidelines, what kind of favor?
Neither Lu Yu nor Wang Fei explained it. After all, if this matter was stabbed out, Lu Yu and the Mavericks might both be punished.

After a short period of stunned, Su Qun gradually came to his senses, but he also knew that this matter could not be reported.

There was no questioning.

Lu Yu was also straightforward, didn't make any detours, and said straight to the point: "Although I didn't make it, you helped me more than this. You supported me last time I fought, so no matter what, I owe you. Humanity."

"I'm still a little moved by what I said." Wang Fei took a sip of coffee and continued, "You didn't see the CCTV reporter today, did you? Don't you want to know why?"

"why?"

"Actually, the officials of the Basketball Association let go of the media and wanted you to join the national team to play this East Asian Games."

Wang Fei pouted and said with a look of disdain: "They thought you would get the wind and go to the national team to report obediently. In fact, they don't even know that you can't receive much domestic news in Spokane."

Somewhat self-righteous.

"So they didn't let CCTV broadcast it?" Lu Yu sighed.

In this day and age, the Basketball Association is still very ruthless.

Of course they've been rambunctious.

"How do you think about the national team?" Wang Fei asked.

Su Qun also hurriedly pricked up his ears.

Because Lu Yu is not a player in the system, he has a certain peculiarity. The basketball association cannot manage Lu Yu. Even if he loses the domestic market, as long as Lu Yu plays well in the NBA, he can still become a basketball star in the United States. It's a big deal. Eat this bowl of domestic rice.

So they didn't know what Lu Yu was thinking.

What about Lu Yu?
Although he is very disgusted with this domestic system, he does not want to give up the domestic market. Once he signed an agreement with Anta, he is now a shareholder of Anta. The domestic market is an important part of his future business map.

Second, his media empire is now only in the United States. In the future, he wants to extend his tentacles to the country.

"Of course I would like to join the national team."

Lu Yu smiled.

His words made both Wang Fei and Su Qun heave a sigh of relief.

"but……"

One of Lu Yu's but, let them hold back the breath they had just relieved.

The two looked at Lu Yu at the same time.

Lu Yu smiled and comforted them: "But if I go back now, it's equivalent to giving in to them. One has two. If I want to play, I must have the right to choose in domestic competitions."

"Hey..." Su Qun sucked in a breath of cold air.

Can the guys from the Basketball Association agree to this condition?
Wang Fei was also stunned.

Lu Yu was not in a hurry, just quietly waiting for Wang Fei's answer.

After a long time, Wang Feicai sighed and said, "What I can promise you is that I will be the head coach of the national team. You can do this. It's fine if you don't participate in this year's game, but for the sake of planning for the future...you This time, the reason must be given.”

Given enough reasons, both sides have face.

This year is all Asian competitions, and the presence or absence of Lu Yu does not affect the results. Wang Fei's purpose is also to make plans for the World Championships next year.

"Isn't my wrist injury still good?"

Lu Yu raised his hand and shook it.

Wang Fei laughed dumbly.

Lu Yu knew about the national team, and the dust settled for the time being.

For some reason, Lu Yu suddenly remembered Wang Zhizhi who was banned back then, and an inexplicable helplessness surged in his heart.

Is Wang Zhizhi's ban really just because he didn't return to China to play football?
