Chapter 324: At the Cost of Athletic Lives
After this sentence is explained, everyone will understand why Yao Ming has signs of recurrence of old injuries, and also understand that Yao Ming cannot participate in this World Championships!
No matter how strong a person is, he also needs to have enough rest time, during this time, let the body completely relax, and gradually repair and relieve the fatigue and minor injuries caused by long-term battles. After Yao Ming played in the NBA Finals, he didn't have a long time to recuperate from Li Du, so he returned to China to participate in the training camp non-stop, which means that he didn't have much rest at all.
In all the sports in the world that involve intense physical confrontations, professional athletes take a long break after the season, which is why. This is especially true for masters of national arts, kung fu fighting is the most direct and fierce body collision, and the burden on the body of each fight is far greater than that of other sports, so every master will not often fight with others, they need to repair and maintain their bodies for a long time in order to ensure their combat effectiveness.
In this regard, even Master Hong, the world's number one master, is no exception, he once mentioned that he himself spends most of his day focusing on himself, finding subtle damage to his body, so as to find a way to repair it. The same is true for Li Du, after every game, no matter whether he wins or loses, he has to stand on the pile, luck and blood, relieve fatigue, and then let the body recover to the greatest extent.
But Yao Ming is different, as a dominant center on the inside, he has far more physical confrontation intensity with his opponent in every game than Li Du, greater, Master Hong's scripture similar to the "Washing the Marrow Sutra" can make his body repair to the maximum, but Yao Ming's own lack of rest time, which can not be replaced by any kung fu.
After listening to Li Du's analysis and explanation, everyone at the scene was silent. Yao Ming can't participate in the World Championships in Turkey, and the Chinese team lacks the most important core and the biggest reliance! It is really difficult to predict what the Chinese team will achieve in the international arena without Yao Ming, but it will definitely not be good.
Yao Ming didn't speak, just stared at Li Du in a daze, his eyes were full of eagerness for the game, and he didn't worry about the recurrence of his old injury.
Li Du was furious by Yao Ming, and in Yao Ming's eyes, he remembered what Yao Ming said to him after the master saw that Yao Ming had a major injury or illness. The oriental giant, who gave himself all to China's basketball career, didn't care how long his career was, he just wanted to do something for the development of China's basketball industry, promote the development of basketball in China, and improve the level of domestic basketball.
In the end, in Yao Ming's almost pleading gaze, Li Du let out a long sigh and said something that only he and Yao Ming could understand: "Brother Yao, your spirit makes me admire, but you really have to think about it carefully!" ”
Yao Ming didn't hesitate at all, nodded heavily, and said, "I've thought it through a long time ago!" Thank you, Xiao Du! ”
Hearing this reply, Li Du let out another long sigh, and then walked out with Pretti, leaving a sentence, "I'll come over early tomorrow morning, and do my best to obey the destiny of heaven......
With Li Du's permission, Yao Ming looked at his back as he left, let out a long breath, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
The others didn't know what they were talking about, but they also understood that it was definitely related to Yao Ming's career health, and they asked what was going on.
Yao Ming seemed to have let go of the heaviest burden in his heart at this time, laughed and said, "I asked Xiao Du to help me with acupuncture and massage, so that my legs can recover temporarily." Don't worry, I'll be able to make it to the World Championships! ”
Yang Yijia had been listening to the conversation between Li Du and Yao Ming on the side, and he didn't understand it at first. He asked himself if he knew enough about Li Du and Yao Ming, and he knew what Li Du could do, and now when he heard Yao Ming's explanation, he was suddenly shocked in his heart, "Da Yao is overdrawing his sports life at the cost of being able to exert normal combat effectiveness during the World Championships!" ”
From the next day, Li Du really came to massage Yao Ming every day, and every time he tried to do his best, he didn't stop until his physical strength was almost exhausted! Yao Ming's physical condition recovered very quickly, and Li Du also took time to participate in Nike activities during this time, and the days passed day by day.
When the national team was about to go out, Li Du finally stabilized Yao Ming's leg injury, but they all understood that the so-called stabilization was just an overdraft. The cost of this overdraft is huge, and if Yao Ming has 3 to 5 years left in his career before that, he may be able to sustain it for two years at most. Two years later, his leg injury is bound to recur, and when the time comes, it will be difficult for the gods to be saved, and Yao Ming will have only one way to retire!
After seeing Yao Ming get on the plane to Turkey, Li Du shook his head, picked up the phone, dialed the number of the old Nelson, and didn't say much, just told the old Nelson that in the new season, he hopes to get stronger teammates and support, and he will win the championship every year for the next two years!
Since Yao Ming's athletic life can't be extended, try to let him have no regrets when he retires! This was the only thing Li Du thought of doing for Yao Ming.
When the World Championships in Turkey started, it was already the end of August, and Li Du hurriedly ended his trip to China and rushed back to San Francisco to prepare for the new season, while also paying attention to the situation of the World Championships.
China's luck was not good this time, and they were in Group C with hosts Turkey and the mighty Greek team, along with Russia, Puerto Rico and Ivory Coast.
According to Li Du's prediction at the beginning, the Chinese team will not be able to win against the Greek team, but Turkey and Russia still have a fight, and Puerto Rico and Ivory Coast should be able to win easily. But the actual situation is not the case, I don't know if it is because of the stimulation of Yao Ming's injury, the Chinese team was almost crazy when playing with Puerto Rico and Ivory Coast, two weak teams, and they all won by a big score.
And when it came time to play with Turkey, they were afraid that the weakness of the full-court pressing would be exposed again, and they were scrambling by the opponent several times and made mistakes, and finally forced Yao Ming to catch the ball near the three-point line, and then he played two, or even one or three, and won narrowly and dangerously with absolute inside dominance.
As for playing against the Greek team, the difference in overall strength made the Chinese team strategically give up the game, and Yao Ming only played about 10 minutes from beginning to end.
What made Li Du feel incredible was the Russian team, they showed more strength than the Greek team, and in their guard players, Li Du even saw the shadow of Kobe and Iverson!
In the end, the Chinese team lost to Russia and Greece and advanced to the knockout stage as the third place in the group. Yao Ming had a horrific performance in the group stage, averaging 36.5 points, 15.3 rebounds and 2.9 blocks in 28.8 minutes per game.
It is precisely because of Yao Ming's absolute dominance on the inside that the Chinese team was able to advance, but everyone in the team knows that this is in exchange for Yao Ming's sports life!
