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

Chapter 185

After extra training, Lu Yusheng was exhausted physically and mentally.

Lu Yusheng was exhausted enough for this match.

Moreover, in this game, he felt more tired than any previous game. This kind of tiredness was not only physically, but more importantly, mentally tired.

The main reason for this tiredness is that he has played too many games with Popovich at the tactical level, so he is indeed a little tired.

Coupled with Kobe's subsequent extra training, he felt physically and mentally exhausted.

I just want to go home and sleep well, and then prepare for the back-to-back games the next day.

Before Lu Yusheng asked Meng Xia to find a new house for him, Meng Xia saw a lot of suitable ones, but Lu Yusheng really didn't have the energy to look, so he put it on hold for the time being.

During this period of time, Lu Yusheng has been staying in a hotel next to the Staples Center. This is the hotel where other teams often play games. The environment and security are very good.

When Lu Yusheng returned to the hotel, he received a call from Meng Xia.

"Hey, Meng Xia, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing. It's a pity to lose today's game, so I called to check on your condition and see if I want to comfort you." Meng Xia said.

"No, nothing but tiredness."

"It's really a pity, it's just a little short. I thought I was going to win, but who knew that Manu Ginobili, who is so horrible, can still make a three-pointer under such circumstances. This is definitely luck, everyone. That's all they said, so don't pay too much attention to it." Meng Xia said.

Knowing that Meng Xia was comforting him, Lu Yusheng smiled, "I'm not as vulnerable as you think, and, Ginobili's goal was indeed a bad luck, but that's part of the game. I won the game last time." That shot was actually almost exactly the same as Ginobili's shot, it was a frontal hit, this is the NBA, if you can win the game in this way, you have to accept that others beat you in this way."

Meng Xia giggled, "It seems that you have adjusted your mentality very well. It seems that Kobe's extra practice was not in vain. It probably not only practiced his back, but also strengthened your ideological work."

Lu Yusheng was taken aback, "How do you know I practiced extra?"

Meng Xia smiled and said, "I went to look for you, and later I heard that you were called by Kobe to practice more, so I went to wait for you for a while, but the more you practiced, the harder I fell asleep. Later, I saw you sitting on the sidelines and started talking again, I guess it would be difficult to end quickly, so I left first."

"Why didn't I notice you."

"I've been on the sidelines all the time. It's just that you two are too involved, so you didn't see me. But there is one thing to say. People say that men are handsome when they are serious. Today I found out that this is indeed the case, especially at the same time. It's really cool to see two serious and handsome men working hard."

Lu Yusheng shook his head helplessly, "Stop it, by the way, you came to see me for something, right?"

"I want to see you, can't I?"

"Don't be like this, Meng Xia, we... made an agreement in three chapters."

"I'm joking, I just feel that the loss of today's game should have a great impact on you, so I just want to comfort you, that's all. Oh, of course, I have to report some work to you. It is the most important thing, I have negotiated some peripheral advertising endorsements, I think it is not bad, but of course it needs to be confirmed by you, this is the main thing." Meng Xia said.

Her tone became visibly lowered, and she emphasized that work was the main purpose twice.

This made Lu Yusheng a little bit sorry, and he could obviously feel that Meng Xia was really concerned about his loss tonight, and she also guessed that she would be very concerned, so she came to see her specially.

So Lu Yusheng's three-chapter agreement just now is indeed a bit out of date.

But there was no way, he knew Meng Xia's thoughts very well, so it was important to keep a distance.

"that……"

Lu Yusheng was about to say something soothing, but Meng Xia said first, "Okay, I know you're tired, so go to bed early."

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Lu Yusheng knew that she was angry, but there was no good way to do it. The distance that should be kept should be kept.

Meng Xia will gradually adapt in the future.

Lu Yusheng hung up Meng Xia's call, and hurried to take a shower, preparing to fall asleep early.

As a result, after taking a shower, he lay down and didn't sleep for long when the phone rang again, waking him up again.

He took a look at the phone and found that it was Avril Lavigne calling.

Hastily picked it up, "Hey, Avril..."

"Lu, where have you been? Why haven't you come back yet?" Avril Lavigne asked.

Lu Yusheng was taken aback, "Are you in the apartment?"

"correct."

"When did you come back?!" Hearing this, Lu Yusheng couldn't help but get excited!

"I came back in the afternoon and prepared dinner and cake for you."

"Then why didn't you call me?"

"I... didn't I want to give you a surprise." Avril said, "But I can't wait for you, where are you?"

"I'm asleep."

"you……"

"No, my dear, it's not what you think, how about it, you wait for me at the apartment, I'll be there right away, that's all."

Lu Yusheng hung up the phone, hurriedly dressed and went downstairs, and ran towards the apartment.

As soon as I opened the door of the apartment, I saw Avril sitting on the sofa.

He rushed over immediately and hugged Avril Lavigne, "It's great to see you!"

Avril was preoccupied, "Where did you go?"

Lu Yusheng couldn't laugh or cry, she was still suspicious of him.

So he told Avril Lavigne the whole story of his move, and told him that Meng Xia let him move because he was always harassed by fans.

But unexpectedly, Avril Lavigne was not happy with this explanation, but asked directly, "You seem to listen to her very much."

Lu Yusheng: ...

Sister, can you grasp the key points?

"Avril, it's really inconvenient for me to live here now. Besides, she is my manager. It's normal for her to consider these aspects for me, but we really have nothing, we..."

"No, Lu, I don't want to hear this." Avril interrupted him.

"Then do you trust me?"

"of course."

"That's enough." Lu Yusheng said, "I haven't asked you yet, have the family affairs been settled?"

"It's almost there, that's it." Avril Lavigne seemed exhausted. For her age, it was really difficult for her to face these things.

"I really want to go out to work and realize my dream, but I can't let her go," Avril said with some embarrassment, "She is really dependent on me now, every day when she wakes up, the first thing she sees is me, so I……"

"Avril," Lu Yusheng said, "I heard you talk about you last time, and I thought about it for you. I think it's better for you to stay with your mother and take good care of her. After all, she is not in good health. good."

"But what about my dream?" Avril Lavigne asked.

"You forgot, I told you before that there is an old saying in China, which is called loyalty and filial piety. Loyalty here actually refers to career and dreams. Besides, you are still young, and you still have many opportunities. This situation really requires you to accompany me. Therefore, for the time being, I can only sacrifice your dreams."

Avril nodded silently, "It's the only way to do it now, but I really want to act. The response of the previous one is good. By the way, that movie may be released in the near future. You must accompany me when the time comes. Go to the premiere."

"of course."

"I have already received invitations from several crews. They said that I was born to be an actor. One of the assistant directors even called me and said that Hollywood needs a face like me. If I don't accept their invitations, it will be Hollywood. Loss."

Lu Yusheng: ...

Well, these guys really can say anything in order to pick up girls.

"Of course I know, I'm not that good yet, but I just... I really want to perform. After all, this is my dream all along. It's hard to get a little bit of an idea now, but... I really do. I also can't let go of my mother... This period of time really makes me tangled... Especially when I see you getting better every day and your career getting better and better, I really..."

Avril buried her face in her hands, in great pain.

Lu Yusheng comforted her, "Life is like this sometimes. You always have to face some difficult choices. Avril, I can't make choices for you. All I can do is stand behind you and tell You, no matter what choice you make, I will support you unconditionally. Also, you don't have to worry about money, if you need it, call me anytime, and I will help you." Lu Yusheng said.

Avril looked at him silently, feeling a little moved for a moment, and held Lu Yusheng's hand, "Thank you, dear..."

……

Early the next morning, when Lu Yusheng woke up, he found that Avril Lavigne had already woken up. She was in the kitchen in her underwear and had even made breakfast. The bright sunshine of Los Angeles shone on her beautiful body through the window, and Lu Yusheng was lying on the bed. , Looking at all this, I feel that it is a scene that appeared in a dream in my previous life.

After breakfast, Avril was about to go back, but Lu Yusheng still decided to take her to meet Meng Xia first, otherwise she would always think that she and Meng Xia had something to do.

When he arrived at the company, Meng Xia was busy.

After these few days of preparation, the company has taken shape, and there are already new employees working in it. Meng Xia is interviewing new employees in the office.

Avril looked at all this and said, "She is really capable."

"Well, her business ability is indeed very strong." Lu Yusheng said.

"I hope it is limited to business ability." Avril Lavigne said lightly.

Lu Yusheng knew that there was something in her words, so he didn't answer.

Seeing that Lu Yusheng brought Avril here, Meng Xia showed great enthusiasm, and enthusiastically dragged Avril around to introduce her, as if she was a sister she had known for a long time.

At the beginning Avril was still a little tense, but in the end she couldn't hold back Meng Xia's enthusiasm, and finally got along with Avril, chatting and laughing happily.

Lu Yusheng sincerely lamented Meng Xia's social skills, can this be handled?
Avril's plane was about to arrive, and Lu Yusheng originally planned to send her to a few games, but Meng Xia took the initiative to send Avril to a few games, and she couldn't refuse.

After returning, Meng Xia said to Lu Yusheng, "I have already made it clear to her about the misunderstanding last time."

"What did you say?"

"Anyway, just say what you can make her believe."

"What's the result?"

"The result is that she hugged me and cried, and apologized to me again and again for what happened last time until I forgive her." Meng Xia was able to say, "Don't worry, even if the two of us do something out of the ordinary, she will never stop. There is absolutely no doubt about the two of us."

"We can do something out of the ordinary."

"Brother, can you hear the main point of my words?" Meng Xia said.

"What's the point?"

Meng Xia shook her head helplessly, "The point is, your girlfriend is too emotional and trusts others too easily, so if you really want to be with her for a long time, you'd better not let her go to Hollywood, Otherwise, with her personality, I guess it won't be long before she will be deceived by others."

"He is simple, but not stupid."

Meng Xia smiled disdainfully, "You really don't know the men in that circle? They have ten thousand ways to get a woman, but for your family, the first one may be enough."

"Thank you for your advice, it's boring."

Lu Yusheng didn't want to listen to Meng Xia's talk anymore, not because she was bored, but because Lu Yusheng had always had such worries.

"I know you don't like to hear it, but I'm really thinking about you. Sex is a trivial matter. Drugs are the worst thing. I don't want her to get you involved." Meng Xia said.

"What endorsement contracts did you mention last night? I'll take a look. There's a game tonight, and I'm going to the arena soon."

Lu Yusheng directly skipped this topic.

……

The game time between the Lakers and the Raptors was set at 07:30 pm Los Angeles time, but the meeting time notified by Zen Master was [-] pm.

Because there are some tactical things to talk about before the game.

After Lu Yusheng arrived at the stadium, Kobe was already warming up there.

"Are you going to play this match?" Lu Yusheng asked.

"No," Kobe said after taking a shot, "I'm just proving to them that I can play, and try to get me to play the next game."

Lu Yusheng nodded.

"How is it?" Bryant asked, "Do you have confidence in this game tonight?"

"Of course I have confidence, but I just don't know what I can achieve."

"Still not very confident, let me tell you, this game is very simple," Kobe said, "You just need to limit Chris Bosh, and the others are nothing to be afraid of. Playing against the Raptors, believe me, you will have a different feeling."

"Unusual? What do you mean?" Lu Yusheng didn't quite understand.

"You will understand from the start of the game."

Kobe took the ball, made another jumper, and made a hollow shot!
