Chapter 186: Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed

At the end of the preseason, the Lakers had a six-two-loss record. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

But this thing can't be taken seriously.

Pre-season is just a warm-up, and the purpose of each team is almost always to practice tactics.

There are also some players who have taken summer vacations or recuperated from injuries, and their bodies are rusty, and the preseason is just to find form.

So, there are very few scorching games in the preseason, and they are basically one-sided.

Even if the scores are close in some games, the main players of the team usually play less than 30 minutes, and even the substitutes who stay on the field at the last moment.

As long as they don't lose too much in the preseason, the team can accept it.

But if you can't win a game, it's a big problem, either there is a problem with the offense, or there is a problem with the defense, or the level of the substitutes is too rubbish.

The Lakers' record is very normal, and the media have nothing to say.

But Lu Xiaofeng's performance in the preseason has once again become the target of media hype.

After eight games, although he has not made more than three mistakes in each game, his positive statistics are star-level.

Averaging 20.5 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 9.6 assists per game, this is already the stats of a super playmaker guard.

He also had 3.1 steals and 1.5 blocks per game.

The super comprehensive data has long been noticed by the media, and the media has hyped it up even more after the preseason is over.

Preseason isn't summer league, and it's just a little bit worse than the regular season.

In the regular season, Lu Xiaofeng's performance is eligible to compete for the best rookie even if it is discounted.

"Los Angeles Times", as a local media, directly named Lu Xiaofeng the title of "Magician Successor":

"Los Angeles has finally ushered in a real successor to the Magic, of course, not Livingston of the Clippers, but Lu Xiaofeng of the Lakers."

"The big-picture and playmaking skills he showed in the game reminded people of Magic Johnson for the first time."

"He's got athleticism that rivals Jordan."

'He's so old in the game that we almost forget his age, oh my god, he's only 18 years old.

"There is no doubt that Lu Xiaofeng is the best rookie this year, he has already booked that award, sorry, others can only compete for second."

"After the selection of Kobe Bryant in 1996, Lakers management once again showed an amazing draft vision."

"With Kobe Bryant and Lu Xiaofeng, the Lakers dynasty can continue for at least ten years!"

"Showtime is coming back, Los Angeles fans, are you ready?"

The article of the "Los Angeles Times", Lu Xiaofeng was also a little embarrassed after reading it.

The domestic media is even more exaggerated.

He Xiaoyi of Sohu Sports is Lu Xiaofeng's brain-dead fan, and they also have a special commentator - Weiping Bryant, so Sohu Sports' evaluation of Lu Xiaofeng is the most exaggerated:

"Lu Xiaofeng was born to play basketball, and his physical talent is incomparable, even surpassing Jordan."

"But the most important thing is that he plays very reasonably, never messes around, rushes when he should burst, passes when he should pass, fast when he should be fast, and slow when he should be slow."

"The Lakers already have the invincible Kobe Bryant, and there is an omnipotent Lu Xiaofeng, even if O'Neal is gone, he is still a strong contender for the championship."

"Since he can lead the Chinese team to create a miracle in Athens with Yao Ming, of course, he can also create a miracle in the NBA with Kobe."

"Lu Xiaofeng is known as the Chinese Magician, and he has every chance to replicate the miracle of the Magic, leading the Lakers to win the NBA championship in his rookie year."

"Of course, whether you can win FMVP or not depends on Kobe's performance."

This article written by Director Zhang, fortunately, the NBA stars didn't see it, otherwise Lu Xiaofeng and the Lakers would have become the target of public criticism.

Compared with the domestic media, which is overwhelmingly optimistic about Lu Xiaofeng, the American media is honey and black.

ESPN represents the "Lu Hei" faction and devalues Lu Xiaofeng as worthless:

"The preseason is just a warm-up game, even if the Chinese get an average triple-double, it's not worth mentioning."

"His stats are just because of the Lakers' fast-break tactics, and once he faces a strong defensive team, his weaknesses will be exposed."

"Look at the embarrassment he faced Arenas, his immature defense, not much better than a high school student."

"And his style of play is a problem, so how many games can he last?"

"With only eight games in the Olympics, eight in the preseason and 82 in the regular season, will he be able to play half of them?"

"It was a mistake for the Lakers to choose him, and it is even more ridiculous to give him a mid-level contract, the Lakers have Kobe Bryant on the outside, the ball is not enough, they just need a shooter who dribbles through the half."

"The Lakers' interior line is undoubtedly the weakest in the league, and a bunch of outside lines are useless, and it is a problem to enter the playoffs."

Of course, Lu Xiaofeng also read ESPN's article, but he couldn't refute it, and he didn't bother to refute it.

As a player, it's useless to say the flowers, and in the end you have to prove it on the field.

Back in Los Angeles on the 29th, the team had another holiday.

But Lu Xiaofeng was even busier, and in the afternoon he ushered in the CCTV Sports interview team.

Because the national team created a miracle in the Athens Olympics, reached the finals and won the silver medal, basketball suddenly became the hottest and most popular sport in the country.

And Lu Xiaofeng, the most popular basketball star and the top student in the college entrance examination, is undoubtedly a learning model for young people, and of course the focus of official media propaganda.

Therefore, CCTV sports has also paid unprecedented attention to it.

With sponsors such as Spreadtrum Mobile and Ante Sports fueling the flames, Lu Xiaofeng's NBA debut has become a top priority.

As the most outstanding representative of China's youngest generation, what kind of inspiring performance will Lu Xiaofeng's debut be?

Countless basketball fans are paying attention, and hundreds of millions of people are looking forward to it.

CCTV Sports' live broadcast of Lu Xiaofeng's first NBA game has reached the level of the All-Star Game, and the trailer promotional video began to be broadcast half a month in advance.

Today's interview, first of all, is to shoot a video of Lu Xiaofeng and broadcast it in the next two days.

In fact, it's quite simple, it's just that Lu Xiaofeng is wearing the No. 6 jersey of the Lakers, holding a basketball, and just saying a paragraph.

It's just an ad for the live broadcast of the debut.

It's an interview.

Before the online media dominated the world, CCTV was undoubtedly the largest media in China.

CCTV wanted to give him free publicity, of course Lu Xiaofeng couldn't ask for it, so he had to cooperate patiently.

And CCTV sent a double-flat combination to prepare to explain his debut on the spot, and there is no one with this specification.

Today's interview with him is Director Zhang.

In the face of this old-timer whom he admired in his previous and present lives, he also knew everything and said everything.

"Xiaofeng, what are your expectations for your debut?"

As soon as Director Zhang came, he got straight to the point.

"Of course I want to play better, score more assists or something, make fewer mistakes, and don't foul too much, otherwise I won't be able to play."

"Haha, we know that Yao Ming's debut data is zero points and two rebounds, it should be no problem to surpass him, right?"

"Hah! I can't talk nonsense, or he won't entertain me in Houston. ”

"Have you ever talked to your team-mates about your debut, like bribing them to create more opportunities for you?"

"I didn't take the initiative to mention it, but Kobe Bryant has already said hello to me and asked me to take the initiative to attack in my debut, and he will be a little more restrained."

"Really? Looks like you have a good relationship with Kobe? Did you go it alone with him? ”

"Actually, I have a good relationship with my teammates. I'm a playmaker, waiting for me to pass the ball! Kobe Bryant's competitive spirit, you know, can you not go head-to-head with him? ”

"Then tell the fans, how is your record with Kobe Bryant?"

"Haha! It's our secret, we can't tell. There are winners and losers anyway. Everyone's heads-up skills have improved a lot. ”

"Tell us about your personal goals and your team goals for the new season!"

"Of course, my personal goal is to be the best rookie first!"

"As long as you're playing normally, it shouldn't be a problem, have you ever thought about the All-Star Game? Like Yao Ming, playing the All-Star Game in his first season? ”

"This thing depends on the choice of the fans."

"Your popularity is about to surpass Yao Ming's now, I believe it should be no problem when the time comes. What about the team? The goal should be the championship, right? ”

"Haha! Director Zhang, I also read your article on Sohu Sports, how can I be as powerful as you say? The team's goal is just to make the playoffs, how dare you think about the championship? ”

"Huh! I think it's okay to fight! With you and Kobe Bryant on the guard line, which team can compare? On the front line, Odom is a copy of Pippen, and Butler is also a very good young man, only the center is slightly weaker, and he is not afraid to play any team! ”

"The game, the strength on paper doesn't count, you have to fight to know. Look at the team's run-in, if the run-in is good, you can go a little farther. ”

……

For several days in a row, Lu Xiaofeng had interviews arranged after training, and he couldn't seem to refuse.

As the debut time approached, more and more Chinese media came to report on the Lakers.

Fans who flew over from China to see Lu Xiaofeng's debut also arrived one after another, and on his Weibo, Ai Xiaolin came out again to leave a message:

"The wind is less, I came, right at the hotel last time. Fans who watched the debut live, come and sign in! ”

For a while, it was bloody again, and those who signed in, cursed, and watched the excitement all left messages.

Hearing Chen Yuhan say this, Lu Xiaofeng remembered that he had promised Ai Xiaolin to give her a ticket, so he asked Chen Yuhan to send it over.

Chen Yuhan didn't want to see the "fox spirit", so he asked his assistant to send him over, I'm afraid it would disappoint Ai Xiaolin.

On the evening of November 1, Ye Yufei also took leave and flew over from the other side of the ocean.

Lu Xiaofeng's debut, of course she won't miss it.

According to her, the reason for taking a leave of absence was "to go to the United States to see her boyfriend's NBA debut", and the teacher, of course, had nothing to say and granted the leave on the spot.

The media, fans and relatives were in place one by one, waiting for the curtain to open and Lu Xiaofeng to take the stage. (To be continued.) )
