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

Chapter 167

Of course, Jordan did not neglect Lu Yusheng just because the cooperation failed to be negotiated.

Warmly invite him to play golf.

But Kobe stopped him, "Hey, Michael, we're not here to play golf with you."

"Why not?" Jordan said, "Kobe, I think you should really learn about this sport, it's really good, and you're going to retire sooner or later, life after retirement is boring, You have to find some fun for yourself again."

"Oh no, Michael, it's not the first time you tried to convince me to play golf, but I still turned you down, do you know why?"

"why?"

"I know you don't mean to ask me to play golf, you just want to win me, you want to abuse me, and then you talk trash at me, you must say, hey, look, you can't beat me in golf, and basketball is not mine Opponent, I will not be fooled by you." Kobe said.

Jordan laughed loudly, "You are definitely not my opponent in basketball."

"Come on, you are just lucky not to be born in my era, otherwise I would never let you win the six championships." Kobe said.

"Oh, don't say that. If you say that, you look down on Barkley, Malone and Stockton. Aren't they strong enough? Otherwise, they have become my defeats."

"I haven't imagined them. My imaginary opponent in the finals has always been you. I think I can definitely beat you."

"Come on, you'd better win six championships in the era without me before you say this. Now you only have three championships." Jordan laughed.

"Hey, I will definitely do it, Michael, I will definitely win seven championships, and then I will see what else you can brag about in front of me." Kobe laughed.

"Just do it."

……

Lu Yusheng stood aside and listened to the two big shots talking, and he also found it very enjoyable.

But he could clearly feel that Jordan respected Kobe a lot, and there was only one thing they cared about and competed for, and that was the championship, not other honors, which seemed worthless in their eyes.

What Jordan said to suppress Kobe was his six championships, not MVP, scoring champion and the like.

He didn't say anything about Kobe's championship or the second championship.

As for Lu Yusheng, as a fan of Kobe, it is a pity that he did not see Kobe win two three-peat championships like Michael did, and did not get his sixth and seventh championships as he wished.

Especially in the 2008 finals, because of Bynum's injury, he finally hated Boston, which is the hatred of almost every Kobe fan.

Lu Yusheng was no exception, especially when Kobe said majesticly today that he was going to win seven championships, Lu Yusheng really wanted to help Kobe realize his dream.

……

On the way back, Kobe asked Lu Yusheng, "What do you think?"

"It's good, he's actually not as serious as I thought." Lu Yusheng replied.

"This guy is good everywhere, but he is a bit too competitive, and he compares himself to everything." Kobe said.

Lu Yusheng: ...

"Are you talking about you or him?"

Kobe smiled, "It doesn't matter, what matters is what I said last."

"What?" Lu Yusheng asked.

"champion."

When talking about the championship, Kobe stopped laughing and immediately became serious, "Lu, do you know what it feels like to win the championship?"

"I only have one summer league championship, but that's enough to make me feel the joy of the championship. So, if I do win the NBA championship, it's hard for me to imagine what kind of experience it will be." Lu Yusheng said.

"Didn't you win the NCAA championship?"

"Oh, I'm just a substitute, at most I played in the last game for a while, so this kind of championship basically has nothing to do with me, but the championship of this year's summer league was indeed won by me from the very beginning. , Moreover, on the day of the finals, I also met Magic Johnson and won the championship again, that feeling is really very happy." Lu Yusheng said.

Kobe shook his head while driving, "Compared to an NBA championship, that's really nothing. Let me tell you, what an NBA championship looks like."

"like what?"

"Like war."

"war?"

"Yes, it's war, Lu. When you play for a whole season, it's like a war of attrition, and when you drag your tired body into the playoffs, the game becomes a knockout battle. You can't win, you can't lose, so I led my brothers to fight for a few more rounds, peeled off a layer of skin, and finally broke through the encirclement, and on the stage of the finals, do you know what it will become?"

"Hand-to-hand combat?"

"Well, almost," Kobe said, "because on the stage of the finals, both sides are already very tired, and after the baptism of the three rounds of the series, the two teams have run into the best state, whether it is On both ends of the offense and defense, they are more sensitive, and they are basically immune to any tactics. This way, they have seen all the tactics. Basically, they have seen all tactics and know how to target them. Just like in war, Suddenly everyone has no weapons and can only fight close to hand."

Lu Yusheng nodded. Kobe's analogy is very vivid. In fact, if you think about it carefully, in the NBA Finals, the two sides really didn't have too many tactics to speak of.

What everyone is fighting for is actually the natural talents of the athletes and the tacit understanding of the entire team on both ends of the offense and defense.

This is why the closer to the playoffs and finals, the more stars need to stand up and solve problems.

When everyone has no tactics, they have to rely on absolute talent to solve problems.

Therefore, the closer to the big stage, the more the star should play a role.

"When you fight hand-to-hand and kill the last opponent, although you are weak and have no strength, the light from the championship trophy seems to inject all the energy into your body, making your body Get excited, burn up, make you mesmerized, the audience's deafening cheers, the opponent's surrender and congratulations, will make you intoxicated, that kind of beauty, I really can't describe it to you..."

Lu Yusheng found that when Kobe talked about these things, his eyes naturally shone like a beam of light.

This kind of light was so infectious that Lu Yusheng seemed to see himself standing in the middle of the crowd, holding the O'Brien Cup in his hand.

"So, do you want to experience that wonderful taste? You know, no matter how many times you experience that taste, you are still addicted to it." Bryant asked.

"Uh, of course. Without a doubt."

"Then do it," Bryant said. "Let's work together, and I'll take you to that feeling."

As he spoke, Kobe stretched out a hand and shook hands with Lu Yusheng.

"But..." Lu Yusheng said, "I'm afraid I'm afraid..."

"Don't tell me such things. If you want to accomplish something, you must first have confidence and confidence in yourself. This is the prerequisite for all success." Kobe said.

"It's not that I don't have confidence in myself, Kobe, I just..."

"Just what?"

"I'm just... worried that I might not be able to make it to the playoffs with the Lakers... You know, Zen Master and the management have been planning to trade me in exchange for the big man he wants." Lu Yusheng said.

Kobe was silent for a while, and then said, "I told you about this, this is not something you should think about now, what you have to do now is to try to make yourself better and stronger, only when you Only when you become a strong player in the game can you control the game."

"I've been working hard on Kobe, but I don't have much time," Lu Yusheng said, "I think you are also very clear that in Zen Master's triangle offense, the proportion of point guards is actually not high, so... even if No matter how well I play in this position, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to stay."

"If that's the case, it's fine," Kobe said, "I'm telling you, those who can win the championship can go anywhere, at worst, go to other places to win the championship and make them regret it terribly! "Kobe said.

Lu Yusheng nodded, this is Kobe, but Kobe didn't know that what Lu Yusheng cared about was not staying with the Lakers to win the championship, but wanting to win the championship with him.

Seeing that Lu Yusheng was silent, Kobe said again, "Do you know what I talked to Jordan alone when you went over there for coffee just now?"

Lu Yusheng shook his head, "I don't know."

"I brought you to him today. The first is that he wants to discuss the contract with you. The second is that I am actually discussing some other things with him, about team tactics." Kobe said.

"What do you mean? What did you talk about?"

Kobe hesitated to speak, "I can't tell me what I talked about for the time being. What I want to tell you now is, don't worry about those things, put all your energy on basketball and games, and about trading you I have already made a decision on the matter, and I have other plans, and if they really plan to do so, I think I will still have some say."

Lu Yusheng was taken aback...

……

Lu Yusheng originally planned to strengthen his training in the past two days, but his performance in the last game showed that his hard training during this period was still very effective.

Although the system didn't give Lu Yusheng any skills recently, Lu Yusheng felt that although the system didn't give him many things, they were very useful. If he added his own hard training, he would definitely become stronger.

Then the championship is getting closer and closer to him.

Unexpectedly, Meng Xia arranged a series of business meetings for him in the past two days.

All kinds of negotiation conditions, all kinds of signing contracts.

Lu Yusheng couldn't remember how many endorsement contracts he had signed.

He also didn't count at all how much money he earned.

Anyway, it was a lot of money, money that he didn't even dare to think about before.

After Reebok's first contract payment arrived, Lu Yusheng immediately asked Meng Xia to transfer 200 million to his mother, and asked Meng Xia to personally urge his mother to quit that job.

Lu's mother didn't want to quit her job at first, but when she saw the transfer information, she couldn't count the zeros at the end for a while, and she almost fainted after she counted clearly.Finally agreed to resign from the job.

Lu Yusheng gave Meng Xia another 200 million yuan, but Meng Xia didn't accept it. He only took 50 yuan. He bought a second-hand house that he had been looking forward to for a long time. That morning, Meng Xia moved in.

She asked Lu Yusheng to celebrate together, but unexpectedly, at noon, Lu Yusheng received a notification from the team that training would start in the afternoon.

The pre-match training against the Spurs came later than Lu Yusheng thought, but Zen Master did not underestimate the enemy, probably because he was too tired from the last game, so he wanted everyone to have a good rest.

Popovich and Phil Jackson are also considered old rivals. Judging from Phil Jackson's preparation, it shows his respect for the Spurs.

The Zen master analyzed the Spurs' game video almost frame by frame, looking for their weaknesses, and arranging corresponding tactics for the players.

Lu Yusheng found that the Zen master's thinking was basically exactly the same as his, which made him feel a little proud.

Kobe smiled and said, "Phil, I heard about your tactics the day before yesterday, and there is almost no difference."

The Zen master was taken aback, "Oh? Really?"

His gaze quickly turned to Lu Yusheng. Obviously, he also knew that besides Kobe, Lu Yusheng was the only one who could accurately describe these tactics.

Kobe smiled and said, "I see, leave your tactical analysis training to him in the future."

"Of course that's the best." Zen master said, "I'm worried about execution, Lu, Farmar, and Vujacic, remember, in the next game, your CIC will determine the direction of the game. The key, so, don't miss the shot at home. As for Kwame Brown, Bynum, and Bynum, as I said just now, can Duncan be restrained and get more rebounds? It is the key to the victory of this game, do you have the confidence to win eight consecutive victories?"

"Have!"

The voice was not loud. Obviously, the teammates didn't have much confidence in this game.

After all, they were facing the Spurs in this game, and they couldn't remember how long it had been since they had won against the mighty Spurs.

What's more, in this game, their absolute main force, Kobe can't fight side by side with them.

In the last game against the Rockets, Kobe was only injured and left the game midway, and their reaction was so quick, not to mention, in this game, Kobe was not on the court from the beginning.

Lu Yusheng knew very well that the game might be decided in the first quarter. If they couldn't show confidence at the beginning, the morale of the teammates would drop rapidly, and there was no room for recovery.

Therefore, the opening of this game is very important.

If he wants to win that Ferrari from Kobe, he must lead his teammates to get off to a good start!

November 11 at 28:7 p.m.

The Lakers' game against the Spurs at Staples Center is officially underway! ! !
Because of Lu Yusheng's amazing performance in the last game, the Lakers fans were completely crazy about it.

Therefore, in this game against the Spurs, even though Kobe was absent due to injury, the Staples Center is still full!
They are all here to see if this magical boy can continue the magic tonight! !
