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

Chapter 45 [Punishment]

Whistle!

The game is suspended!

Smush Parker lay on the ground in pain, and it took him a long time to be helped up by his teammates.

Lu Yusheng originally thought that he would rush up excitedly and fight him again.

But unexpectedly, this guy didn't.

It seems that Lu Yusheng's punch just now made him a little afraid, and he was a lot more honest.

Because of this punch, both Lu Yusheng and Smush Parker were unable to participate in the following training matches.

Smush Parker because the coaches and team doctors were worried that he would have a concussion and couldn't take the risk of continuing the game.

Smush Parker insisted he was fine, but was forcibly taken away by the coach to be checked.

Lu Yusheng was held on the sidelines by several teaching assistants for a lesson!
Brian Shaw said angrily, "Do you know that your behavior may ruin your career?"

"I tell you, the team will severely punish you for this behavior!"

Lu Yusheng wiped his sweat silently, without saying a word.

Although he knew that his punch would have serious consequences, he still didn't regret it at the moment.

Smash Parker did that insidious act twice in a row, and didn't see any of you condemning him.

Then I will uphold this justice myself.

But the Zen master, from the beginning to the end, never expressed any opinion on this matter.

He still sat on the sidelines with a blank expression and observed everything on the field, as if nothing had happened just now.

Sitting next to him, Lu Yusheng looked at the white-haired Zen master, feeling somewhat uneasy.

Originally, Lu Yusheng was holding back to prove himself to him, but he didn't expect such a result in the end.

I don't know what the old man thinks of himself.

But now, he can't even think about it.

This is not something that can be dealt with rationally.

Lu Yusheng sat on the sidelines, recalling his punch just now.

Only then did he suddenly remember the Kermit Washington signboard that the system gave him yesterday, [Mixed Martial Arts with Russian boxing as the main body].

It turned out that when I was angry just now, I subconsciously used this guy's signature move.

Lu Yusheng felt that this was the strongest of the signature techniques given to him by the system.

Because I haven't practiced much at all, the actual combat effect is so amazing.

If you practice and practice again, you can upgrade one level, will it be okay?

……

The Lakers' penalty for Lu Yusheng did not come down quickly.

But Zen Master punished Lu Yusheng in his own way.

In the next few days of regular training, Lu Yusheng will participate as usual, and even tactical moves, Lu Yusheng can participate.

But when it came to the team training session, Master Zen did not let Lu Yusheng play.

Lu Yusheng could only sit off the court and watch his teammates liven up the court.

He was somewhat disappointed in his heart, but he also understood that this was the consequence he had to bear.

He can only work harder and harder to train himself.

Every night, Lu Yusheng would come to the training hall to practice silently for himself.

Every day, he is the last one to leave the training hall.

……

Soon, the preseason will come.

In this year's preseason, the Lakers have already become the focus of media attention because of Lu Yusheng, a rookie.

The media is divided on the rookie who single-handedly led the Lakers to the Summer League title.

Part of the media represented by "Sports Illustrated" believes that the Lakers are sharp-eyed and found a treasure in this recognized draft year.

They believed that Lu Yusheng's outstanding performance in the summer league was seasoned and mature, no less than any rookie ranked higher than him in this year's rookies.

"He will bring surprises to the weak No. 1 position of the Lakers in the new season!"

But a larger part of the media, headed by ESPN, is still not very optimistic about Lu Yusheng.

ESPN's well-known reporter Cassidy Hubbers unceremoniously reprimanded those colleagues who are optimistic about Lu Yusheng in his new season prediction article.

"If you judge a player's strength based on the performance of the summer league, then Kwame Brown has already led the Lakers to the championship. After all, his rookie performance in the summer league is comparable to Michael Jordan. "

"Look, just the intensity of the preseason game will make that Chinese kid show his true colors, and the Lakers will pay the price for their smart choices."

Lu Yusheng himself did not pay much attention to these public opinions.

But he also expects that Zen Master and the team can end their punishment when public opinion discusses him so loudly.

If you don't start, you can at least give yourself some rotation time.

On October 2006, 10, the Lakers will usher in the first preseason game of the new season against the Utah Jazz.

The day before the game, Lu Yusheng went to Salt Lake City with the team.

Under the attention of the American media, Zen Master still did not arrange any playing time for Lu Yusheng.

Smush Parker started and both Farmer and Hans got rotation time.

Only Lu Yusheng didn't get any playing time.

Although Lu Yusheng didn't play in the game, the good media have already started to use their imagination to make a big fuss.

"It seems that there is no need to wait until the preseason. Probably in the team training game, this guy's strength has already been exposed."

"It must be. The Lakers probably don't want to be laughed at by the United States for their choice, so they just don't let him play, so that everyone will gradually forget about it."

"Zen still understands the ball. He doesn't want to use his record to pay for the stupidity of the Lakers management."

……

Next, in the preseason games against the Seattle SuperSonics and the Phoenix Suns, Lu Yusheng still did not get any playing time.

Lu Yusheng couldn't help but worry a little. If this situation continues, will the regular season officially start and he won't even get playing time?
After finishing the training that day, Lu Yusheng decided to talk to the Zen master alone.

He came to the Zen master's office and was about to knock on the door, but suddenly he heard Kobe's voice coming from inside.

"Hey, Phil, the preseason is almost over, and I think the punishment for Lu is almost over." Kobe said.

Lu Yusheng looked in through the crack of the door and saw Kobe standing in front of the Zen master's desk in his training clothes.

It seems that he also entered Lu Yusheng first.

Zen Master was reading a book, and when he heard this, he raised his head to look at Kobe, and smiled, "You don't come here to intercede for him, do you? Oh no, Kobe, this is not like your character."

"I'm not pleading for him. I just think that fighting on the basketball court is actually not too much. Besides, it was that idiot Smush who made bad moves first. In that case, I think Lu There is nothing wrong with what you do, if it were me, I would not be able to resist."

Standing outside the door, Lu Yusheng could not help but feel a surge of warmth when he heard the boss of the team complaining about him...
