The restaurant, which had been deserted before, became very lively after Lu Yi's appearance.
Most of the people who came to eat Chinese food were Chinese, especially those near the United Center. They were all basketball fans and had a fanatical pursuit of the Chicago Bulls.
In the nearly 20 years since Jordan's retirement, the Bulls had only reached their peak during Ross 'MVP season. Even so, there was always a hint of red hidden in the hearts of the old Chinese fans. Their favorite jersey number was still number 23.
Lu Yi's appearance was not a big star player, but a rookie who had signed on for a basic salary, but it still ignited the passion in their hearts. When Lu Yi finished his meal, Boss Wang patted his chest and said heroically before he left,""Child, if you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to us for help.”
Lu Yi pondered for a while, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
"In the new season, he scored 403 three-pointers and broke Curry's record. Can you help me?”
“......”
Boss Wang was dumbfounded. He looked at him in a daze as if he was saying, Little brother, that's not what I meant.
Not only him, but also the other customers were stunned. They didn't expect Lu Yi to have such a goal. They were a little shocked.
Could anyone break Curry's three-point record? One had to know how big of a storm this person had stirred up the year he set this record. It had even pushed the NBA into the era of small balls. If anyone could break this record, Kulit wouldn't have been so sensational back then.
However, they treated it as Lu Yi's own goal and did not refute him.
Lu Yi shook his head and walked out of the restaurant. He didn't have much confidence in this goal.
If he could enter the starting lineup in the new season, it would be fine. However, in his position, there was still Jimmy Butler, who had just been established as the core. It would be difficult for him to break this record with limited substitute time.
However, he was still slightly unconvinced. Lu Yi's personality was like the System's. He was indifferent to life and death and would fight if he was unconvinced!
Who said that a substitute couldn't break this record?
Who said that Jimmy Butler's starting position was guaranteed?
The NBA off-season ended in a flash. Soon, it was time for all the players in the league to gather and report. The 400 players would undergo rehabilitation training before the preseason.
Since Lu Yi had signed an official contract, he no longer needed to participate in the preseason training camp. The nature of this training camp was actually similar to the summer league. It was used to test the fringe players. Hoyberg valued Lu Yi's talent so much that he had long removed him from the list of trainees for this training camp and directly entered the lineup to practice, adapt, and adjust his state with the team.
All the Bulls players rushed back from all directions and recovered their physical strength before reporting for duty on the first day.
In the new season, other than Jimmy Butler, the other four players in their lineup were all newcomers. They needed more time to get used to each other if they wanted to quickly integrate and form a tacit understanding.
However, as big names above the All-Star level, Wade and Rondo would definitely be in the starting lineup. Other than that, everyone else thought that Mirotic and Robin Lopes were definitely part of the starting lineup, and the others could only fight for substitute time.
Hence, the atmosphere of the five people's training was relaxed and unhurried. They talked and laughed without any nervousness. The substitutes were secretly competing. Whether it was shooting training or physical training, the competition was fierce.
Lu Yi was the only one who completed all the training tasks unhurriedly. Then, he ran to the gym to train his strength.
The values given by the system could be improved through training, except for hard attributes such as height and arm span. Although the improvement wasn't big, it was still better than purely relying on the system's selection to improve.
He still needed some time to get used to the system.
After two months of self-training in his daily life, Lu Yi's weight had grown to 97kg. He looked a little better and was no longer so thin. This weight wasn't gained from putting on weight, but from the combination of exercise and muscles.
At this moment, the only thing he was weak enough to want to improve was his strength.
His current Strength was only 83 points. It would be a little difficult for him to rely on such attributes to kill in the official arena.
About an hour later, when he came out of the strength training room, the training outside had already ended. They were gathered in groups of two or three and chatting.
They formed a few cliques. Some were big shots, and some earned tens of millions a year. They belonged to a circle of players who were considered to be on the sidelines. The rest of the substitutes and veterans who knew each other formed another circle. The newcomers were in another circle.
Even though Hoyberg was very dissatisfied with the circle, he secretly reminded the team's new boss, Butler, to do his job. Unfortunately, the person he entrusted to him was not a person. Butler had a quiet personality and was not good at communicating. He could only shout for everyone to surround him.
But even though everyone was gathered together, they still had their own thoughts. Wade and the others took the initiative to bring up the atmosphere.
Wade had been the boss of the Heat for a long time and had been teammates with James for four years. His influence on the team was greater than the new core Butler. In addition, he was tactful and approachable, so it was easy for him to win the trust of young players.
The entire team was centered around the team. As they listened to him talk, the atmosphere gradually relaxed. Wade did not disappoint. He told everyone about the fun things he had done with the other three during the offseason, which made everyone laugh. The atmosphere became more relaxed, and some of the cautious fringe players were also relaxed.
When the team disbanded, One was just about to leave the gym when Wade stopped him.
"Hey, brother, I heard that your strength is not bad. Does Fred think highly of you? Do you want to fight one-on-one?"
Lu Yi stopped in his tracks and looked at him in confusion. However, before he could respond, the system jumped out and said,
"Host, you are facing a challenge from an old superstar. Think about his physical condition and his injuries. How can an old guy like him challenge you? How can you tolerate this?" Now, please make one of the following choices…"
"Option 1: Accept the challenge and successfully defeat him twice. Reward: ”
"Option 2: Pretend you didn't hear me and leave immediately.”
(Please give me a flower rating, hehe!)）
