Chapter 180 He must have seen Los Angeles at four in the morning [First update, please subscribe]

"Lu, do you want to take a break?"

Snoopy happened to be in Los Angeles these days to prepare for the establishment of a magazine branch. He came to Lu Yu and found that Lu Yu was actually training in the arena.

"No."

Lu Yu shook his head: "Wait for me to vote another hundred."

In order to play against Kobe at night, Lu Yu got up at four in the morning for training. He didn't have to worry about muscle fatigue, as long as he had enough rest in the afternoon to ensure his physical strength for the evening game.

The team practiced together for an hour in the morning. In order to maintain the state of the players, after the practice was over, Lu Yu added another hour and a half of shooting training to himself.

All of this is just to better play against Kobe Bryant.

He began to truly understand watching the game since 98, when the NBA was divided into groups, and Jordan, the basketball god of the NBA, quietly left.

For Lu Yu, he never really watched a game about Jordan, all the video and audio he saw were just video.

For him, Jordan only exists in the archives...but this season it's time to play against the late basketball god.

But Kobe was different. When Kobe's vigorous and light figure passed in front of his eyes, he found that he was infatuated with this handsome black guy just as he was infatuated with a peerless beauty.

That super bounce, terrifying hang in the air, unparalleled technique and accurate shots.

These make him forget that he is a qualified point guard. He has imitated Kobe's actions more than once, just like Kobe has deliberately imitated Jordan.Fortunately, he woke up earlier than Kobe, and he quickly became himself, but Kobe was forced to be labeled as "Jordan's successor".

"Swipe" the ball in his hand flew into the basket again. "Kobe, I'm about to play against you, I'm excited to think about it! Every cell in my body is full of energy... Whether it's winning or losing, I We will cherish this opportunity to play against you.”

The last time I went head-to-head with Kobe was in New York, and the last time I worked out with Kobe was at the New Orleans practice facility.

Long time no see, I miss you very much.

"Brush" another ball into the basket.

"Lu Yu, that's all for today, don't put too much burden on yourself, just fight with your heart." Snoopy continued to persuade.

Lu Yu ignored him and just continued to practice shooting... After a long time, after throwing the last ball on the floor, Lu Yu finally stopped, picked up the towel in his bag and wiped off his sweat. Went out of the gym with Snoopy, who had been standing beside him.

"Lu Yu, Uncle Lu just called and said that he's flying to Los Angeles this afternoon and will come to see you at the game tonight." Snoopy told Lu Yu on the way.

"Oh." Lu Yu looked very calm.

"Yeah?" Snoopy felt very strange. "Your dad came to see you, why didn't you react at all, at least you have to fake a happy expression, right?"

"I would be very happy if he made a special trip to see me." Lu Yu said with a wry smile, "But the key problem is that he didn't come to see me at all."

"It's not to see you, who is it to see?" Snoopy asked strangely.

Lu Yu just smiled and didn't answer. He stepped forward and immediately left Snoopy behind, making Snoopy hurriedly shouted, "Wait for me, wait for me!"

"Old Zhang, yes, yes, yes, is the billboard I ordered ready? I'll go to Los Angeles right away, and when I arrive, you can help me deliver it to the entrance of the Staples Arena." Lu Chaoyang was chatting on his cell phone.

"Hahahahaha...haha, yes, Lu Yu's game is broadcast live in the United States! Don't worry, I will reveal the name of your advertising company."

……

Los Angeles has surpassed Chicago to become the second largest city in the United States after New York.

When it comes to Los Angeles, the first thing people think of is Hollywood, and the second thing that comes to mind is the symbol of the city's sports - the Los Angeles Lakers.

Of course, there is another NBA team in Los Angeles, the Clippers.

But in front of the Lakers, the Clippers are a little brother.

We all know that Michael Jordan and Pippen created the Bulls dynasty together.

In NBA history, how difficult is the birth of a dynasty?

To reflect the absolute dominance of a team, at least three consecutive championships must be achieved in order to truly be called a dynasty.

If you want to build a dynasty, in addition to having superstars, the stability of the team is also crucial.

After the Bulls, will there be a new dynasty to rise?
In 1999, in the second round of the Western Conference playoffs, the Los Angeles Lakers were shaved 4-0 by the Spurs. The star O'Neal lost in the contest with Duncan, which was a disgrace.

That year, under the leadership of Shi Fo, the Spurs won the first championship in team history.

People can't always be immersed in the losses and grief of the past, so in 2000, the Lakers regrouped under the leadership of O'Neal and once again launched an impact on the championship.

In 2000, Phil Jackson began to take charge of the coach of the Lakers. As the helm of the Bulls dynasty, the arrival of Zen Master gave the Lakers great confidence.

Especially the headed star O'Neal finally saw the dawn of the championship.

And the rift between Bryant and O'Neal, because of Jackson's dealings, was overshadowed by the next two championship trophies - Kobe and O'Neal even had a spat during the 1998-99 lockout season.

This year is their third season and their ultimate goal, three consecutive championships!

Horry is one of the few veterans on the team, and he's also one of the few players on the team who has a good relationship with Kobe.

In fact, their relationship was not good.

At the beginning, he couldn't stand Kobe's strong momentum. In one game, Kobe even came to Horry during a timeout. Kobe said, "My hands are hot, why don't you give me the ball?"

Horry responded like an elder teaching a younger generation: "You have multiple championships, lad? I have two championships, and I know what to do."

Before joining the Lakers, Horry had already won two championships with the Rockets, and Kobe was still a nasty guy at the time.

Horry also admitted that it was because of that incident that made his relationship with Kobe better.

He would often go to teach Kobe, he said: "It made our relationship more intimate, and I often tell him, lad, slow down, slow down."

Kobe is arrogant, and there are not many friends who can get along with him.

Horry is one.

Horry strolled into the training ground. The huge training hall was deserted, leaving only the mess of the players after training.

In this deserted place, there were bursts of "ping ping ping ping" sounds.

Horry was relieved: I knew you were still here!

Follow his eyes.A slender and thin figure was constantly shooting basketball, the ball flew out of his hand, and then fell from the net... Over and over...

The movement of the shot was graceful like dancing, and with the long and elegant back of Xin, it made that person even more outstanding.The yellow training shirt was already soaked with sweat, and the sound of his increasingly heavier breathing came from his ears.

Finally, a ball smashed out of the basket, and the shooting posture of that person was also fixed there, and the right hand that was hanging high did not let go for a long time.

"Hey, buddy, stop practicing." Horry laughed: "The game is going to be played in the afternoon. You are training more at this time. Are you recovering during the game?"

The shooter turned his head sharply, his resolute expression on his handsome face, and he was Kobe Bryant.

He ignored Horry's persuasion and just shook his head slightly: "You don't know, that guy from the Bulls, he is a devil who can get up at four in the morning to train. Let me ask you, have you seen Los Angeles at four in the morning?"

Horry shook his head.

"Four o'clock in the morning? I was crazy to get up at that time to train."

Kobe looked at the basket and said seriously, "I can assure you, he must have seen it."

Horry was stunned, he didn't say anything, just sighed secretly in his heart, no wonder coach Jackson would say that the No. 10 of the Bulls is the most dangerous person.

"You two really love each other."

Horry took out a newspaper from his bag. The newspaper was an interview with FOX Sports reporter Jenny Helen who interviewed Lu Yu a few days ago.

"Look at this newspaper."

Kobe took the newspaper and flipped through it, all of which were about basketball. The first one was a photo of Lu Yu, holding a basketball with his right hand outstretched. The title was - Kobe, here I come!
……

"Leader, this post-game interview between the Bulls and the Lakers must help me win... Yes, yes, I believe that there will be sparks between Lu Yu and Kobe."

Jenny Helen said excitedly. From the last time she interviewed Lu Yu, she found that Lu Yu paid special attention to Kobe. She believed that there must be something to tell between the two.

"Don't worry when I interview you...Well, I'll dig up everything I can...Okay, thank you leader!"

Helen hung up the phone and walked to the desk. The desk was not very big and was already covered with several newspapers.

She picked up a newspaper and read it. It was their FOX Sports.

报上详细的介绍了前几天公牛队客场109比87大胜热火的比赛，陆余在那场比赛中只打了27分钟，整个第四节都是垃圾时间，得到了21分5次助攻和6个篮板。尽管赛后全场最佳给了在比赛中独得32分的布拉德米勒。

But Jenny Helen still interviewed Lu Yu.

Lu Yu's performance is becoming more and more eye-catching. Now he ranks No.24.1 in the scoring list with 24.7 points behind his teammate Brad Miller's 9 points.

No.1 is of course Allen Iverson with 31.3 points, and No.2 is Shaquille O'Neal with 27.2 points.

Jenny Helen asked Lu Yu how he felt about his scoring ability.

Lu Yu laughed and replied skillfully, "It's as good as my passing."

Lu Yu averaged 7.9 assists per game, which happened to be No.9 in the assist list.

Ranked No.1 is Andre Miller, averaging 10.9 times per game, and No.2 is currently No. 9.9 Eastern Nets point guard Jason Kidd, averaging [-] times per game.

Jenny Helen asked tentatively: "Then what do you want to say to your opponent in the next match?"

Lu Yu thought for a while, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, his eyes were shining, and he confidently said to the camera lens: "You are my favorite player, I look forward to playing against you, I believe that the game between us will be better. Very wonderful."

"Huh? Who are you talking about?" Jenny Helen was stunned.

Lu Yu: "Kobe Bryant!"
