Basketball starts with breathing

Chapter 282 Those who die will die sooner or later [Second update, please subscribe]

On February 2, the first day was the rookie game.

Lu Yu didn't bring Annie, although Annie looked expectant, as long as he was invited, he would agree.

But Lu Yu didn't want to cause trouble for himself, mainly because he had too many girlfriends, and he was eye-catching in the All-Star Game. Maybe who would go to the scene, if other women found out, he would have to comfort him for several days after returning home.

The rookie game is divided into first-year and second-year teams.

Last year made an exception for Lu Yu, so this year's Yao Ming also participated in the Rookie Challenge naturally, instead of being replaced by Ginobili like in his previous life.

The first-year players were Stoudemire, Pozel, Butler, Gooden, Hilario, Wagner, Jay Williams, Manu Ginobili and Yao Ming.

The second-year team Gasol, Arenas, Chandler, Kirilenko Jefferson, Murphy, Parker, Jason Richardson, Tinsley and Lu Yu.

Because Arenas said hello before the game, and let Lu Yu go to the skill competition and the main competition to grab the limelight, in the rookie competition, he still gave the poor people the scenery.

Lu Yu has really been honest this season, at least he doesn't love performance as much as last season.

So the rookie match gave the stage to Arenas.

Mainly because he doesn't need to use his rookie game to prove anything.

The two sides performed dunk performances and three-point performances without defense. In the end, the second-year team outperformed the first-year team 132-112.

Arenas from the Warriors scored 30 points and won the Most Valuable Player Award. He scored 23 points in the second half with an accurate three-pointer, leading the second-year team from a 12-point deficit in the first half to the final comeback.

Lu Yu only played in the first half and went down to rest, but in the end he still got 20 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists.

Yao Ming also did not play. He wants to keep his physical strength in the All-Star game. After all, that is the biggest stage in the past few days. If you play hard for two consecutive games, it will be a back-to-back game.

Tyson was a little bitter.

He originally thought he could win the MVP, and he also scored 27 points, all relying on Lu Yu's assists in the first half. Unfortunately, in the second half, Arenas threw a three-pointer by himself, and he had no chance to score.

If you want to grab a rebound and play the second offense, you can't grab a rebound.

Arenas made a three-pointer, either going in or jumping all the way, and he stomped his feet in anger.

Lu Yu saw Scarlett Johansson who was cheering him on at the scene. The two secretly flirted with each other while the camera was not paying attention. When the rookie game was over, the reporter wanted to interview Lu Yu, but they couldn't see anyone.

The next day's three-point contest, without Lu Yu's participation, Pei Jia finally showed his might and won the honor of the three-point king.

After winning the three-point king, the reporter asked: "Congratulations on winning the three-point king, what do you think?"

Stojakovic smiled and said: "I can win the three-point championship. I have to thank Lu Yu for not participating. If he participates in the three-point contest, I don't think I can get this trophy."

Lu Yu's three-point shooting rate this season is as high as 48%, ranking first in the league. The terrible three-point shooting rate makes many shooters have no idea about signing up for the three-point contest.

As a result, Lu Yu did not sign up, which made Pei Jia miss out.

Then came the skill challenge.

This skill competition requires players to shoot three-pointers after completing dribbling through obstacles and various passing maneuvers.

Of the 5 players participating, 4 are popular point guards in today's NBA. There is only one forward, Lu Yu. Standing with them, Lu Yu is a lot taller.

"I think it's great for the NBA to have a game like this because it shows people that there's not just scoring and dunking, but also dribbling and passing," Kidd said. "And it's not grandstanding, it's one of the fundamentals of the game ."

In the first round, Marbury and Parker played 41.9 seconds and 44.5 seconds respectively.

Even Kidd only ran for 35.3 seconds!
This is related to their unfamiliarity with the rules, and they haven't practiced specially. They all came to participate in the competition when they knew about it, and the results they achieved were simply appalling.

Of course, they are also powerful.

It is much better than the guys who ran more than 50 seconds in Lu Yu's previous life, such as Arenas, Stephen Nash, Tony Parker, and Dwyane Wade.

Well, sorry, there's Parker again.

This game is Tony Parker's nightmare.

Lu Yu is much more relaxed. He understands the rules, and also knows that the performances of several guys in this session are not very good, and there is no psychological pressure at all.

After the first round, only Lu Yu and Gary Payton were left to advance.

Gary Payton ran 31.3 seconds.

Lu Yu wasn't too fast. In 30 seconds, he knew that as long as this result was maintained in the second round, the champion of the skill competition would be in his pocket.

Sure enough, Gary Payton ran a 40.3 seconds straight in the second round.

His face turned green.

"Damn it, I feel like I handed over the championship to Lu Yu." Gary Payton took the microphone and said after the run.

Lu Yu stood up. At this time, people found that Lu Yu had changed a pair of basketball shoes. This is the latest Lu Yu 2 generation launched by Anta.

Get on the court and start a skill challenge.

When Lu Yu finished, the timekeeper seemed to be stunned, because Lu Yu was too fast, 27.3 seconds, this result is estimated to kill many players who participated in this competition in Lu Yu's previous life.

It seems that only Stephen Nash ran 2005 seconds in 25.8.

In any case, Lu Yu won the championship in the skills competition. What makes people laugh or cry is that the game was originally set for the defenders, but the three defenders who participated in the competition failed to win the championship, and was finally won by a forward Lu Yu.

After participating in the skill contest, Lu Yu became a spectator and began to watch the dunk contest.

This competition is the same as the 2002 Slam Dunk Contest, with only four players participating.

They are defending champion Jason - Richardson, Desmond - Mason, Richard - Jefferson and Amel - Stoudemire.

But the rules of the game were changed again: all four dunked twice in the preliminaries, and the two players with the highest scores entered the final.

Although there are not many players in this game, the lineup of judges is extremely luxurious. The legendary players "Flying Man" Jordan, Dominic Wilkins and "Little Potato" Webber, who have won the "Dunk King", are among the judges.

In the game, Richardson took the lead in entering the final with an impressive record of two dunks. Mason, the 2001 dunk champion, competed with Richardson for the championship with 90 points.

In the final, Mason first won a perfect score with a beautiful crossover dunk.

Richardson's reflexive two-handed dunk was not very difficult, scoring only 46 points.

However, Mason, who had the upper hand, accidentally missed the second dunk. He seemed a little nervous when making up the dunk. He only performed a simple two-handed dunk and scored 43 points.

At this point, Richardson needs to get more than 48 points to win.

The defending champion withstood the pressure and threw the ball from a distance. After the basketball rebounded, Richardson, who flew over, grabbed the basketball with his right hand. When approaching the basket, he changed hands and dunked with his left hand.

His wonderful dunk made all the judges, including Jordan, show full marks, and finally won the "Slam Dunk King" again.

Richardson also became the fourth NBA star to win the "Slam Dunk King" twice since Jordan, Wilkins and Harold Miner.

Although this slam dunk contest is far less exciting than the slam dunk contests of LaVine and Gordon in Lu Yu's previous life, and not as good as the dunk contests of Jordan and Carter, Lu Yu's blood was boiling.

Why don't you join the dunk contest next year?
Who will be the slam dunk contest champion next year?

But it seems that next year's slam dunk contest is not interesting, and it is Fred Jones who won the slam dunk king.

Fred Jones' win also broke Richardson's three-peat dream.

Let's see later, Lu Yu is not a deduction general anyway, it doesn't matter if he participates or not, it's purely for fun.

The third day is the All-Star Game, the most important game of the All-Star Game.

East starting lineup: Ben Wallace, O'Neal Jr., Lu Yu, McGrady and Iverson.

The bench lineup is: Brad Miller, Kenyon Martin, Artest, Pierce, Michael Jordan and Jason Kidd.

This year is a bumper year for the Bulls. Three players were selected for the All-Star team. Artest and Miller were also selected for the All-Star team for the first time. Thanks to the Bulls' record and high popularity, Chinese fans love Wu and Wu , By the way, when voting, Miller and Artest were voted in.

West starting lineup: Yao Ming, Garnett, Duncan, Kobe and Arenas.

The bench lineup is: O'Neal, Nowitzki, Kirilenko, Stojakovic, Russell and Nash.

When O'Neal knew that he was a substitute, his face was very bad. Even in the All-Star game, he was not as lively as before, and even had a straight face throughout.

This season has been crazy.

The whole league and the whole world turned their attention to Kobe and Lu Yu, because the two of them have been soaring points during this time.

The focus of every basketball commentator is between these two super-scorers.

The other 28 teams in the league are reluctant to encounter either of these two, and everyone is wondering if this year's scoring title is likely to emerge from them.

Who knew that when everyone looked at the scoring list, they were surprised to find that it was not the two of them, but another player from the East, McGrady.

The most pitiful is Lu Yu. Despite the fact that he has scored so many points in this period, he only ranks fourth in the scoring list, and Arenas is higher than him.

Arenas also successfully squeezed out Francis, who should have appeared in this All-Star Game in Lu Yu's memory, to become the Western Conference starter.

The All-Star Game can be said to be a showdown between four super scorers.

During the pre-match interview, reporters surrounded Lu Yu.

"Can you still win the MVP of the All-Star Game when you come to Atlanta this time?"

"I heard you didn't give Jordan the starting lineup?"

"Do you think the Eastern Army can defeat the Western Army today?"

Lu Yu paused and said with a smile, "I'm here just to play the game."

"That's what you said when you came last time, and you stole Iverson's MVP in that All-Star Game, didn't you?" That reporter should be a diehard Iverson fan.

Lu Yu glanced at him sideways and said, "Could it be that someone stipulates who the MVP of the All-Star Game must be? Isn't whoever performs well and leads the team to win is eligible for the MVP?"

The reporter was immediately speechless.

When Lu Yu walked into the Philips Arena, before he had time to touch the basketball to warm up, he heard a few abuses from the stands. In fact, the quality of American fans is the same. We in China have always said that our league is scolding this and that. The quality is not very good. In the NBA arena, what you can hear in the CBA arena can be heard in the NBA arena, but you may not understand it in a different language.

The reason why they scold Lu Yu is because many American fans think that Lu Yu and Yao Ming became All-Stars because of their talents.

Especially Lu Yu, who broke the rules last year.

Ignorance blinded these idiot fans. They ignored the Bulls' current record in the league, and only said that Lu Yu was an All-Star who cheated.

If Lu Yu changed his skin color or changed his nationality, it would definitely be another treatment.

The camera at the scene was aimed at Lu Yu, who was expressionless and casually carrying the basketball in his hand.

Barkley sighed in the broadcast booth. He understood Lu Yu's feelings very well. He was such a player back then. He would talk nonsense wherever he went. As a result, fans would spray him all over the place. There are not so many fans in the pavilion, so he is much luckier than the poor Chinese in front of him.

West Army locker room.

Arenas silently put on his coat and said quietly, "Here he is."

Duncan next to him didn't respond, just straightened his jersey. Not far away, O'Neal, who was wrapping his feet with straps, hummed.

"It's finally here. I've wanted to teach him a lesson for a long time. I want him, a defeated general, to know what real strength is!"

They call him Lu Yu, and Lu Yu is their key defensive target today.

In fact, last year's Lu Yu had already lost to the Lakers, but this year's Bulls' performance was eye-catching. O'Neal lost to the Bulls twice. In addition, Yao Ming stole his starter this time, which made him even more interested in Lu Yu and Yao Ming. Players with the same skin color and nationality are dissatisfied.

As for Yao Ming, he didn't take it seriously at all.

Yao Ming went to greet Lu Yu first, and when he returned to the locker room, he realized that the atmosphere was not quite right.

When several starters were ready to play, Arenas quietly walked up to Kobe: "Kobe, I think your team's big shark seems to have a bad temper, you should persuade him to prevent him from doing anything wrong in the game. Good things are coming."

Kobe stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, and said nonchalantly, "Shaq is a smart guy. He knows what to do. Actually, like him, I want to teach Lu Yu a lesson."

It's just that the lessons from his mouth and the lessons from O'Neal's mouth are two different things.

The arena is already boiling, and the fans are shouting hoarsely, looking forward to the appearance of their favorite players.

As the players came on stage one after another, the scene gradually quieted down. After all, no one could hold their forehead and shout like this all the time, and it was easy for the brain to be congested. All the players came on the court, and the players on both sides greeted each other.

Kobe, McGrady and Lu Yu hugged each other, and the fans at the scene knew their friendship and applauded.

There was no chance for Arenas, who wanted to lean over for a hug, so he could only watch.

Lu Yu and Yao Ming had already met before the game, and this time they just said hello.

"Hello, Lu, I'm Shaq!" O'Neal came over.

Lu Yu and O'Neal shook hands. After shaking hands, Lu Yu glanced at O'Neal. Both hands slowly began to exert force, and the joints began to turn white.

O'Neal was surprised that Lu Yu's strength was so strong. You must know that he was a big center, and he couldn't suppress Lu Yu when he shook hands with Lu Yu.

Lu Yu is not surprised at all, he must know that his Breath of Fire has reached 80%, and he is not much worse than O'Neal in terms of strength alone.

"I don't think you can win this game."

"why?"

"Because I'm here!"

With both hands released at the same time, Lu Yu smiled and looked at the dazzling lights above the stadium...

"For me, whoever comes is the same. Besides, you are a substitute, what qualifications do you have to talk to the starter."

Lu Yu covered his mouth with his jersey, so as not to be photographed by reporters about what he said.

He was never polite to those who were hostile to him.

On the other side, Brad Miller and Artest also saw that the atmosphere here was not right, and they both came over.

Miller lowered his voice: "Lu, if this guy Shaq dares to be rude to you, I will let him taste my fist again."

Lu Yu shook his head: "This is the All-Star Game, don't worry, he doesn't dare to mess around."

The head coaches of both sides called the players over to simply lay out the tactics. The first three quarters of the All-Star Game were basically just casual play, and the final quarter was when the real chapter was revealed.

On the other hand, Barkley, who was in charge of the commentary, also constantly analyzed the lineups of both sides.

The backcourt players on both sides are similar. Iverson and McGrady are in the east, Arenas and Kobe in the west, and the four are all scoring madmen.

The difference lies in the front line. The East is a traditional small forward with a forward configuration, using Lu Yu and O'Neal Jr., while the center is defensive star Ben Wallace.

The East's front line is two power forwards, Duncan and Garnett.

In such a comparison, the West has an advantage in height, while the East is more aggressive.

In the center position, although Yao Ming is a first-year rookie, Ben Wallace does not have much damage. For a game like the All-Star Game, Ben Wallace is not very popular in this show. .

When he thinks of Yao Ming, Barkley thinks of himself kissing a donkey's butt some time ago.

Like Lu Yu's previous life, Barkley still did not let go of Yao Ming, who became a rookie.

In the previous draft of Yao Ming, there were many excellent players, especially the talented players in the inside. Players such as Stoudamire, Nene, Gooden and other players were very strong in personal ability. Therefore, Yao Ming was also excluded by many rookies in the league. , Even some celebrities are not optimistic about Yao Ming, including Barkley.

Frankly speaking, when he first entered the league, Dayao played very badly because he was too nervous. In the first seven games, he did not score more than 10 points.

As the host of TNT TV, Barkley began to mock Dayao to his heart's content. He made a bet in front of a national TV audience that if Yao Ming could score more than 19 points in a game in his entire career, he would kiss his old partner Kenny - Smith's ass.

As a result, Yao Ming quickly scored 20 points in the game against the Lakers. He used his personal strength to prove that he was worthy of the No. [-] pick. Kenny Smith definitely couldn't let Barkley kiss his ass in front of the United States. Barkley could only lead him. He came to the show with a donkey and kissed the donkey's butt. This scene has also become a classic scene in NBA history.

In Lu Yu's previous life, the year the Warriors won the championship, Barkley also said that if the Warriors won the championship, he would eat a large bowl of horse dung, and the Warriors really won the championship.

This matter was also targeted by O'Neal, and Ao Fatt decided to urge Barkley to fulfill his promise.

In this life, Barkley is still not optimistic about Yao Ming. Although Yao Ming performed well in the Warriors, he still feels that Yao Ming is too thin and cannot score more than 30+ points in the game.

From 19 points in the previous life to 30 points in this life, I have to say that Barkley has improved.

But Yao Ming still got 30 points, and Barkley still couldn't avoid the embarrassment of kissing the donkey's butt.

Therefore, those who die will die sooner or later.

In addition to the players, the All-Star Game will also invite many stars to perform. This year is no exception. Britney was invited. Lu Yu watched Britney twist her waist and remembered her bloated appearance a few years later. There is no desire to watch.

After a while, he suddenly saw another female star singing on stage turned out to be Bellucci.

A good actor does not act in a movie, but actually goes to the NBA All-Star game to lip-synch.

The most terrible thing is that Bellucci sang and winked at Lu Yu, causing the audience to howl. Fans who follow Bellucci all over the United States know that Bellucci just got divorced some time ago. This kind of divorced woman It is simply the coveted object of many men, especially a charming woman like Bellucci.

Lu Yu was speechless.

Last time Bellucci chased after Chicago, he couldn't go out and hide for a few days, but he didn't escape, and she was chased here.

Fortunately, Scarlett left yesterday.

I just don't know if the other girlfriends in front of the TV will see it, and the camera brother who wants to be in charge of the broadcast will not be so blind, and broadcast Bellucci's wink at himself.

Besides, there are so many people in the audience, who knows who she winked at.

At that time, it will be fine to die.

After a wave of star performances, the starters of both sides officially appeared. The MC on the scene shouted the names of the starters from the east and west, and they walked into the stadium one by one under the spotlight!
The head coach of the East is Isaiah Thomas, and the head coach of the West is Kings coach Adelman.

In fact, most of the coaches are just a decoration.

Even the game is more of a visual feast for fans. Everyone knows that the All-Star Game is like the rookie challenge game two days ago. It's either a dunk or a three-point shot.

It's a pity that this All-Star Game is destined to be different. From the first goal in the opening, it started to fight!
　Today is the end of the [-]D, it's a little late, sorry~
