The next morning, after Lu Yao got off the plane, he returned to his small apartment in Oklahoma.
Taking off his clothes and lying on his bed, Lu Yao couldn't help but think.
There are still five days left before his ten-day short contract expires.
Many wealthy teams, such as the Spurs, Lakers, Celtics, etc., all called Lu Yao's teammates today and expressed their willingness to pursue him.
Now Lu Yao is like a hot potato, sought after by everyone.
In just three debuts, he has scored such luxurious statistics. Everyone can see that Lu Yao has a promising future.
What's more, having Lu Yao means he has control of China's fan market, which is simply a happy event for every team.
In order to pursue Lu Yao, each team set higher conditions than the other, for fear that other people's conditions would be higher than theirs.
This makes Lu Yao a little helpless, after all, he has not decided which team to go to.
Should he stay in the Thunder and partner with Dewey, or leave the free market to find a new home.
At this moment, the only word in Lu Yao's head was headache.
Not only are top teams pursuing Lu Yao, but even a group of top agents are scrambling to sign an agent contract with Lu Yao.
This includes agents like Bill Duffy.
Lu Yao now seems to be covered in gold, and everyone wants to get more benefits from him.
Thinking of this, Lu Yao covered his head with a quilt and simply closed his eyes and fell asleep.
I don’t want to worry about things, I don’t want to worry about things, I don’t want to worry about things, Lu Yao said silently three times in his heart.
…
Tonight, the Thunder return home to face the Detroit Pistons.
Without the Pistons' top five, the Pistons have long since become a weak team that has always been at the bottom. They can't fight back, can't retaliate, and are completely ravaged by the league's strong teams.
Due to the disparity in strength, the Detroit Pistons' predicted winning rate has hit rock bottom.
After all, they are facing the Oklahoma City Thunder who are in hot form!
Lu Yao stood on the sidelines, warming up before the game.
At this moment, a beautiful figure stepped towards Lu Yao.
"Brother Lu." A clear voice sounded, and Lu Yao raised his head. It was Ma Fanshu who came over with a group of photographers.
Today, Ma Fanshu is wearing a black dress, her hair is scattered on her shoulders, and she wears high heels, showing off her royal lady temperament.
Lu Yao licked his lips, what was supposed to come would come.
Immediately, Lu Yao smoothed his hair and stood in front of the camera.
Ma Fanshu raised the microphone and asked Lu Yao.
"I would like to ask Lu Yao, what do you think the result of tonight's game will be?"
After hearing this, Lu Yao answered the question simply.
"We will win."
These four short words showed Lu Yao's immense confidence.
If they still lose to the Pistons, who are at the bottom of the Eastern Conference with all their main players, then the Thunder will no longer deserve to be second in the Western Conference.
"Okay, Lu Yao, please allow me to ask. As we all know, your ten-day short contract is about to expire in ten days. Do you have any ideas about your next move?"
As soon as these words came out, Lu Yao had a bitter smile on his face and lowered his head to think about the answer.
After a while, Lu Yao shook his head and said: "I won't think about the contract until my contract expires. After all, focusing on the game is more important now."
I’ve made it clear, I just don’t want to say it.
Ma Fanshu was also very knowledgeable and stopped asking further questions. She just asked Lu Yao a few more simple questions and stopped the interview.
After the photographer left, Ma Fanshu couldn't hold back the questions in her heart and asked.
"Brother Lu, is it possible that you really have no idea about where you want to go next?"
Lu Yao covered his head with one hand and replied, "As you can see, there really isn't."
…
As the warm-up time ends, the game officially begins.
Although the content of this game was boring and simply a one-sided crushing by the Thunder, the content off the court was extremely attractive.
First of all, Chinese basketball star Yao Ming came to the Energy Center to watch Lu Yao's game from the sidelines.
The big screen of the Energy Center was also pointed at Yao Ming, and an introduction to Yao Ming's NBA career appeared on the screen.
As a star of China, Yao Ming is also a star of the Rockets. Since entering the NBA, he has never missed an All-Star appearance and has been selected to the All-Star team many times.
In his career, there were famous scenes where he took advantage of Shaquille O'Neal, who was the face of Chinese basketball.
After Yao Ming saw his face appearing on the big screen, he waved to the audience.
The Thunder solved the problem very quickly, opening a 30-point score in just halftime.
Lu Yao continued to maintain his superb form in the previous game, scoring 21 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists in the half, beating the Pistons to a pulp.
The young Zhuang Shen was severely manipulated by Lu Yao, and was even dunked head-on by Lu Yao while defending Lu Yao's fast break.
Soon, the game was over, and Lu Yao came to the sidelines, hugged Yao Ming, and whispered some words.
At the same time, the Energy Center also sounded MVP calls.
Lu Yao waved to the fans and returned to the locker room amid cheers.
In this game, Lu Yao scored a near-triple-double with 30 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists. Since his debut, he still averages 30+ points per game.
The rebound and assist data are also very luxurious.
After beating the Pistons, this week's Western Conference Player of the Week is also a final decision.
A few hours later, on the official NBA media, this week's Best of the Week in the East and West was released.
The Eastern Conference's Player of the Week is still the familiar LeBron James, who averaged 29 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists per game. With a record of 3 wins and 1 loss this week, he won the Eastern Conference Player of the Week.
And the best of the week in the Western Conference is undoubtedly Lu Yao!
Averaged 31+8+7 per game, 4 wins and 0 losses this week. Curry averaged 32+5+5 per game, also had 4 wins and 0 losses, and could only be ranked below Lu Yao.
After all, Lu Yao's performance this week has been overwhelming, both in terms of popularity and on the court.
At the same time, in the CCTV live broadcast room, Yang Yi and Teacher Yu Jia were talking about Lu Yao's whereabouts.
"Now, there are still five days until Lu Yao's ten-day short contract expires, which means that in five days, Lu Yao will enter the free market."
"Currently, there is news that the Lakers, Spurs, and Green Army are trying to pursue Lu Yao, and the Thunder are also trying to renew Lu Yao's contract."
"Teacher Yu Jia, I don't know what you think of Lu Yao's whereabouts."
Yu Jia, who was sitting on the commentary chair, pondered for a moment and then spoke.
"I feel that Lu Yao is very likely to stay in the Thunder. If I feel that if he leaves the Thunder, the teams he is most likely to go to are the Spurs and Lakers."
"But all of this still has to wait until Lu Yao's contract expires in five days."
"So, please stay tuned!"
