Chapter 45 [Punishment]
Author: Can play the harmonica
Whistle!
The game is suspended!
Smushparker lay on the ground in pain for a long time before being helped up by his teammates.
Lu Yusheng originally thought that he would rush up to fight with him in excitement.
But unexpectedly, this guy didn't.
It seemed that Lu Yusheng's punch just now made him fearful and he became more honest.
Because of this punch, both Lu Yusheng and Smush Parker were unable to participate in subsequent training matches.
Smushparker was injured because coaches and team doctors were concerned that he might have a concussion and could not risk continuing to play.
Smushparker insisted that he was fine, but was still forcibly taken away by the coach for examination.
Lu Yusheng was pushed down by several assistants and gave him a lecture on the sidelines!
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 kind of behavior!"
Lu Yusheng wiped his sweat silently and said nothing.
Although he knew that his punch would have serious consequences, he still did not regret it at this moment.
Smushparker made that insidious and harmful act twice in a row, and none of you condemned him.
Then I will administer justice myself.
The Zen Master, on the other hand, never expressed any opinion on this matter from beginning to end.
He still sat expressionlessly on the sidelines observing everything on the field, as if nothing had happened just now.
Lu Yusheng sat next to him and looked at the white-haired Zen master, feeling somewhat uneasy in his heart.
Originally, Lu Yusheng was holding back to prove himself to him, but he didn't expect that he would end up with this result.
I don’t know what this old man thinks of himself.
But now, he can't think about it anymore.
This is not something that can be handled rationally.
Lu Yusheng sat on the sidelines, recalling the punch he had just made.
Only then did he suddenly remember the Kermit Washington signature that the system gave him yesterday, [a mixed martial arts with Russian boxing as the main component].
It turns out that out of anger just now, I subconsciously used this guy's signature move.
Lu Yusheng felt that this was the strongest among the signature skills given to him by the system.
Because I have never practiced at all, the actual results are so amazing.
If I practice this again and upgrade it, will it still be possible?
…
The Lakers' punishment for Lu Yusheng did not come down quickly.
But the Zen master punished Lu Yusheng in his own way.
Lu Yusheng will participate in the regular training in the next few days as usual, and even in tactical movements, Lu Yusheng can participate.
But when it came to the team training session, Master Zen didn't even let Lu Yusheng play.
Lu Yusheng could only sit on the sidelines and watch his teammates thrive on the court.
He was somewhat disappointed in his heart, but he also understood that this was a consequence he had to bear.
He can only work harder and train himself harder.
Every night, Lu Yusheng would come to the training hall to practice more silently.
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 into two groups regarding this rookie who single-handedly led the Lakers to win the Summer League championship.
Some media, represented by "Sports Illustrated", believe that the Lakers have a sharp eye and have found a treasure in this generally recognized small year of the draft.
They believe that Lu Yusheng's excellent performance in the summer league and his maturity are no less than any other rookie ranked higher than him in this draft.
"He will bring surprises to the Lakers' weak No. 1 position in the new season!"
But a larger part of the media, led by ESPN, is still not very optimistic about Lu Yusheng.
In his new season prediction article, ESPN's famous reporter Cassidy Hubbs unceremoniously rebuked those colleagues who were optimistic about Lu Yusheng.
"If you use summer league level results to predict a player's strength, then Kwame Brown has led the Lakers to win the championship long ago. After all, his performance in the summer league when he was a rookie was comparable to Michael Jordan.
"
"Let's see, just the intensity of the preseason games will reveal that Chinese guy's true colors, and the Lakers will pay the price for their smart choices."
Lu Yusheng himself does not pay much attention to these public opinions.
But he also hopes that when public opinion is discussing him with such great vigor, Jackson and the team can end their punishment.
If you don't give him a starting spot, you can at least give yourself some rotation time.
On October 11, 2006, 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 national media, the Zen master still did not arrange any playing time for Lu Yusheng.
Smushpark started, and Farmar and Hans both got rotation time.
Only Lu Yusheng did not get any playing time.
Although Lu Yusheng did not play in the game, the good media has already begun to use their imagination to make a big fuss.
"It seems that we don't have to wait until the pre-season. This guy's strength will probably be exposed during the team training games."
"Definitely. The Lakers probably didn't want to be laughed at by the whole country for their choice, so they just didn't let him play, so everyone gradually forgot about it."
"Zen still understands football, and 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 Phoenix Suns, Lu Yusheng still did not get any playing time.
Lu Yusheng couldn't help but worry. If this situation continues, will the regular season officially start and he won't be able to get playing time?
After training that day, Lu Yusheng decided to go find the Zen master to have a private talk.
He arrived at the Zen Master's office and was about to knock on the door when he suddenly heard Kobe's voice coming from inside.
"Hey, Phil, the preseason is almost over, and I think Lu's punishment is almost over," Kobe said.
Lu Yusheng looked in through the crack in the door and saw Kobe standing in front of the Zen master's desk wearing training clothes.
It seems that he also came in before Lu Yusheng.
The Zen master was reading a book. When he heard this, he looked up at Kobe and smiled, "You are not here to plead for him, are you? Oh no, Kobe, this is not like your character."
"I'm not begging for mercy for him, I just think that fighting on the basketball court is not something too extreme. Besides, it was the idiot Smush who made the bad move first. In that case, I think Lu
There is nothing wrong with what you did. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to help but do it."
Lu Yusheng stood outside the door. When he heard the team boss complaining about him, he couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart...
