Chapter 237: The first official confrontation with Kobe
The Player of the Month brought Li Du great fame, but also made him deeply feel that the team is not strong enough now! Li Du knows in his heart that the reason why he has obtained such high data since the start of the game is that in addition to the fact that all the ball possession of the Warriors is concentrated on him, and the fast break and three-point shooting are the first tactics, and more importantly, so far, the Warriors have not encountered a strong team.

But as a team in the Southwest Region, sooner or later the Warriors will have to meet the Lakers, Spurs and other strong teams, and at that time, Li Du did not have any certainty! He looked at the schedule, October and November are good days for the Warriors, there are basically no strong teams, starting from December, the Warriors will gradually meet strong teams, and in crazy March, it will be the saddest time for the Warriors.
This kind of schedule is a great test of the Warriors' overall combat strength and physical strength, and if you can't hold on a little, you are likely to start high and go low, and in the end, I am afraid that even entering the playoffs will be a problem!
So Li Du desperately hopes that Yao Ming can return to the arena as soon as possible! From now on, the players of the Warriors are not bad, the biggest improvement is Curry, he was originally behind the gate, grew up on the NBA court since he was a child, and is very adaptable to the atmosphere of the game, and now his three-point shooting rate has reached 41%! With a hit rate of more than 40%, no matter what time it is, it is definitely a high hit!
Of course, Li Du is an exception, his three-point shooting rate has never been less than fifty percent, but that is what he can only achieve with years of practicing national art and having subtle control over his muscles and strength, except for him, no one can do this.
Another player of the Warriors who has improved a lot is Radmanovic, since he got Li Du's guidance, he has been practicing every day, even if the old Nelson does not allow it, he will privately practice strength, positioning, defensive skills, etc. at home, and now he has averaged 7.8 points, 11.3 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game, and has become a reliable interior gate for the Warriors.
Now it's just Yao Ming to return to the team! Li Du estimated that as long as Yao Ming returns to the team, he will be on the inside in the starting lineup, and Radmanovic in the bench lineup can also guard the restricted area, and the Warriors' lineup will be enough to gallop in the NBA with their three-point rain tactics!
After explaining this, Yao Ming nodded, and then said to Li Du: "Xiao Du, I also want to make a comeback as soon as possible, but Master Hong said that my injury must be recuperated for 100 days, and I roughly estimated that I would be able to come back as soon as the end of the year." During this time, you should work hard! ”
Li Du sighed, it seems that the Double Dragon combination is going to take shape, and he still needs to wait for more than two months!
Yao Ming heard Li Du sigh, chuckled, and said to Li Du: "Xiao Du, in fact, you also know the approximate time of my comeback, and the reason why you are so anxious is probably because you don't have confidence in yourself!" But as the boss of the team, it's a hurdle that you have to cross, you know what I'm talking about? ”
Li Du sighed again and said slowly, "Brother Yao, I understand. The coach asked me to lead the team alone, including how the team should play in the game, and I left it all to me. However, I was really worried that I would not be up to the task and that I would let everyone down! ”
Yao Ming persuaded: "Xiao Du, you are one of the most powerful players I have ever seen, and you are also one of the people with the strongest desire to win. It's good to win, but you can't push yourself too hard. I know you've followed Kobe Bryant since you entered the NBA, so you, like him, have a desperate desire to win. But you have to know that basketball is not a one-man solution to all problems, you just have to do what you have to do. ”
This was the end of the conversation between Li Du and Yao Ming, and Yao Ming's words gave Li Du a great inspiration. In fact, Li Du did not follow Kobe Bryant to attach great importance to victory and defeat, but Guoshu originally paid attention to victory and defeat. In the world of national arts, victory basically means everything! If you lose, you won't be able to turn over for the rest of your life.
But through Yao Ming's persuasion, Li Du began to understand some of the things that Kobe Bryant and the Zen master had told him before,
Basketball does need to be won, but it's not impossible to lose. In a basketball game, if you lose, you can come again, and it will not be decided by a momentary success or failure. In this way, Li Du's psychological pressure can be slightly reduced.
The NBA's schedule is still relatively tight, starting in December, the Warriors played seven consecutive road games before returning to San Francisco before the Christmas game. There is no Christmas game for the Warriors this season, so Li Du can rarely rest for a few days. However, he did not relax, but went to the zoo twice with Shang Xiaolong.
After breaking through to the dark energy, Li Du began to understand why the master took them to the zoo back then, Xingyi Twelve Shapes, in addition to the dragon shape, the other eleven forms have corresponding animals in the animal kingdom, by observing the animals, you can more deeply understand the Xingyi Fist, and then push the Five Elements Fist backwards from the twelve shapes, so as to reach the point of corresponding to the five organs of the human body.
The Christmas War has nothing to do with the Warriors, so Li Du cares about the Warriors' opponents after the Christmas War. After the Christmas game, the Warriors will face two strong teams in a row. The first is on December 27, when they will face the Lakers at home, which will be the first time that Li Du and Kobe Bryant have met as opponents in the game. In addition, on December 30, the Warriors will go to Cleveland to challenge the Cavaliers, as the only player who may be stronger than Li Du in terms of physical fitness, and James with the same comprehensive skills will be Li Du's eternal opponent!
In the Christmas War, the Lakers sat at home to face the Cavaliers, but the Lakers didn't seem to be in shape, and finally lost to the Cavaliers 87-102! This season, the Cavaliers traded O'Neal, and although the big shark in the twilight years of the martyr is no longer as brave as he used to be, he can still hold up a piece of the sky on the inside!
Although Kobe Bryant tried his best and got 35 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists, he had no choice but to let others play poorly and finally lost the Christmas War.
Two days later, Bryant led the Lakers to Oakland to challenge the Warriors. Li Du called Kobe Bryant as soon as possible and asked everyone to get together after the game. Many people in the Lakers team have a good relationship with Li Du, and everyone has agreed, showing no mercy on the court, and gathering together off the court!
When warming up before the game, Kobe Bryant waited for Li Du to finish practicing boxing, walked over and hugged Li Du gently, and then said with a smile: "Li, this is our first confrontation as opponents, come, let the boss and I see how much you have improved!" ”
Li Du laughed, "Boss, don't worry, I have already applied with the coach, and I will defend you tonight!" I also want to feel the power of the world's first basketball player! ”
After Li Du returned to the bench, Curry asked Li Du in confusion: "Boss, you are no longer with the Lakers, why do you still call Kobe Bryant the boss?" ”
