After the matter here was over, Li Du returned to the ward of his senior brother Shang Xiaolong. www.biquge.info The room is a single room with a special rest area for family members and a lot of medical equipment to assist in recovery, and David Geffen Hospital has thought very well for athletes. Of course, the price is definitely high, Shang Yun almost spent his life savings, and sold some of his collection to scrape together more than $5 million needed for the first year of treatment.

Walking into the ward, Shang Xiaolong could only lie on the hospital bed, and Shang Yun and his wife sat on the edge of the bed. Seeing Li Du coming back, Shang Yun immediately raised his head and asked, "Xiao Du, how is it?" ”

Shang Xiaolong also looked over, with an inquiring meaning in his eyes. Li Du smiled and nodded, "Master, don't worry, Kobe Bryant said that in a few days, the Lakers will definitely call me and invite me to the trial!" ”

Shang Yun didn't understand what the trial meant, so he just nodded slightly and said, "That's fine." ”

Shang Xiaolong is more familiar with basketball than Shang Yun, and Li Du likes basketball under his drive. These days, knowing that he is very likely to recover and leave no sequelae, his mood has also improved a lot, and when he heard Li Du's words, he finally asked out loud: "Senior brother, you said you were going to participate in the Lakers trial?" You're going to play in the NBA? ”

Li Du was even happier when he saw that his senior brother was finally willing to speak, nodded and told his senior brother about the past two days like a bamboo tube pouring beans. After hearing this, Shang Xiaolong said happily: "Okay, we will also have a basketball superstar in our family in the future!" ”

Shang Yun said, "Xiaolong, you will always be grateful to Xiao Du in the future!" He went to play basketball in order to make up for your treatment, and this distraction, he may not be able to step into the dark energy level in his life! This is tantamount to exchanging your life for your health! ”

When Shang Xiaolong heard this, his mood suddenly fell, yes, if he hadn't lost the competition and was so seriously injured, his family wouldn't have to worry about money, Li Du's talent is better than his own, and it will be difficult to guarantee that he will not be a quiet big boxer in two years, and now he is playing in order to make up for his own treatment, so it can be said that he has dragged him down.

Seeing that Senior Brother's mood suddenly fell, Li Du hurriedly explained with a smile: "Senior Brother, I don't just go to play for you. Haven't you forgotten that I've loved basketball since I was a kid! Moreover, I don't like martial arts competitions, there is no actual combat, and my national art cultivation is at most the peak of Ming Jin. Now I have only hit the upper level of Ming Jin, not to mention the dark energy, I am still far from the peak of Ming Jin. ”

Seeing that it was still useless to say this, Li Du simply said: "And Master, Senior Brother, I think the basketball court is the most suitable place for me to practice national arts!" ”

Shang Yun frowned and looked at Li Du, and Shang Xiaolong also stared at him suspiciously. Li Du continued: "In the past two days, especially during today's physical test, I found that if I used some of the pace and power of Guoshu in basketball games and training, I would get much higher data than normal people. Basketball is always a sport, no matter how strong the confrontation is, it can't be as dangerous as a competition, and I can safely practice my boxing skills in the competition. Basketball is a blood-boiling sport, and in this process, I can also exercise my heart and mind! ”

After speaking, the ward was quiet, Li Du was afraid that his master would be angry, so he didn't dare to say any more, and Shang Xiaolong and Shang Yun didn't speak. After being silent for a long time, Shang Yun exhaled heavily and said something strange to Shang Xiaolong: "Xiaolong, you decide!" ”

This kind of unprecedented, unintelligible remark is generally not understood at all, but Shang Xiaolong seemed to know what his father was talking about very early, and replied: "Of course I agree!" Father, to be honest, I have planned it a long time ago, and now you are still here, and after you are a hundred years later, if you don't pass it on to your junior brother, I will also pass on the gong on behalf of my teacher! ”

Hearing this, Li Du understood everything, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Master, senior brother, how can this be!" You are a lineage! ”

Shang Xiaolong smiled and said to Li Du: "Senior brother, what age is it now, and what kind of inheritance is it divided into?" And I don't know if my kung fu can really recover, and now in the entire door, only you can inherit the vein of our Shang-style Xingyi Fist. ”

When Li Du still wanted to resign, Shang Yun shouted in a deep voice: "Li Du! ”

"The disciple is here!" Li Du hurriedly listened to the master's lecture.

Shang Yun maintained the temper of the elder boxers who did not allow apprentices to talk back, and said directly: "Needless to say, starting tomorrow morning, I will pass on to you the method of the bear eagle combined attack and the cultivation of the tiger and leopard thunder sound!" You have to study hard and play basketball, and you can't waste your kung fu! ”

"Yes, Master!" Li Du obeyed the order, and his heart was also very excited, he knew that the master had given all his kung fu to himself without reservation.

The most glorious era of national art was the turbulent years of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. Heroes came out of troubled times, and a large number of martial arts masters gathered in that era, and many of the boxing styles that have been handed down now were officially formed at that time. Shang style Xingyi, is the Republic of China Xingyi boxing master Shang Xiangyun founded, Xingyi boxing, if you can create a separate system of combined attack techniques, you can be independent into a line, open a sect.

Grandmaster Shang Xiangyun pioneered the technique of combining bears and eagles, focusing on health preservation, so that people can enhance their physical fitness in the practice of standing piles. The bear eagle joint attack, also known as the bear eagle combination, is mainly based on standing piles, which is intended to maintain health, rather than the style of play in martial arts, which is the most suitable for people like Li Du who do not like actual combat.

The bear and eagle strike together, the body should be calm, like a bear, and the eyes should be open and looking forward, like an eagle about to spread its wings and fly. Zhuangzi said: "The breath of a true person is a heel, spit out the old and accept the new, and the bear is stretched by the bird." "That's the essence of this bear-eagle combo. It's a pity that as the secret kung fu of Shang Shi Xingyi, it can't be learned at all without the master's hand.

After Li Du learns the bear eagle combination, as long as he perseveres, even if he can't enter the dark energy, his physical fitness will get better and better, and it is not impossible to even play two or three games in a row!

The next day, just after dawn, Li Du was called out by Shang Yun, found a secluded place, and began to teach Li Dushang the shape of the bear and eagle combined attack.

Two days passed like this, and on the third day, Li Du just came back from practicing boxing with his master, and received a call from Pelinka, and the Lakers officially invited Li Du to participate in the team trial! It was two o'clock this afternoon.

Li Du said goodbye to his master, got into Pelinka's car, and ran all the way to the Staples Center.

On the way, Pelinka told Li Du: "Lee, today's trial is very critical to whether you can enter the Lakers, and in what way you can enter the Lakers, you must perform well, it is best to show your strength at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, don't worry about the mood of other players, the official players will only be happy to have strong teammates, those who resent you are those who can't get into the Lakers, or even the NBA, don't pay attention to them." ”

Li Du nodded heavily: "Robert, don't worry, I will make my opponent feel desperate!" ”

After entering Staples, Pelinka first took Li Du to meet with several important people, head coach Phil? Jackson, team doctor Gary? Wetti, the "old fish" Fisher who stayed with the Lakers to help Phil observe new players during the holidays, and even Kwame Brown, a parallel importer who was forcibly recalled by Phil to the team for exercise.

Phil? Jackson shook hands with Pelinka, turned to Li Du and said, "Mr. Li, we have all read your physical test report, I am very shocked, but basketball is not something that can be played well as long as you are in good health. As he spoke, he glanced at Kwame Brown next to him, sighed, and continued: "When all the players arrive, I will divide you into two groups for training, and after the training is completed, you will continue to play in two groups." I hope you can perform well, Kobe Bryant rarely recommends anyone. ”

Li Du smiled slightly and said, "Coach, don't worry, I won't let you down." ”

Phil didn't say much, nodded slightly, turned around and continued to assign today's training tasks to the coaching staff. Pelinka helped Li Du take off his coat and said to him: "Compared with daily training, coaches pay more attention to the performance of group confrontation, as long as your performance is good today, I guarantee that your senior brother's medical expenses in the future will not have to worry!" ”

Li Du didn't speak, just nodded. He knew that this was the beginning of whether he could become a professional player, so Li Du secretly made up his mind in his heart that no matter who the opponent was this time, he would beat it! Not only defeat, but also directly crush the past with a strong attitude!

In order to quickly put his body into a state, Li Du still practiced a set of Xingyi Quan and a set of Baguazhang, but he did not shake his feet and exert force like a few days ago to create a strong visual and auditory impact. There are things that are enough to do once, there is no need to do this every time, and more importantly, Li Du has to save all his energy for the game to play!

Not long after, people who participated in the Lakers' tryouts came one after another. When the players were introduced, Li Du didn't pay attention to other people at all, and in his eyes at this moment, everyone was an enemy!

The daily training is still the same, switchback running, shooting on the spot, catch-and-shoot jumpers and other basic training, Phil and assistant coach Brian? Xiao and the others wrote something in the notebook from time to time. According to Li Du's guess, it should be to record the characteristics and data of this player, so as to have a basic understanding of the player.

Li Du's switchback running speed is still terrifying, but this time it is a continuous switchback run, in order to save physical strength, Li Du has slowed down, but the results are still terrifying. The most to Phil? Jackson is happy that Li Du's shooting percentage is still good. Whether it's a fixed-point jumper on the spot, a catch-and-shoot jumper, whether it's a two-point shot or a three-point shot, Li Du will hit almost every ball!

"What a terrible hit rate!" Phil? Jackson smiled, but he didn't really take the training results as the actual shooting percentage, many players, especially the fixed-point pitchers, also had a very high shooting percentage in training, every ball must be hit, but when it comes to the court, it is completely different.

"Phil, did you notice the speed of his shot?" At this time, Fisher, who had been observing for a long time, was on the sidelines versus Phil? Jackson said, "I've just watched him take a closer look, and I always feel that he is too fast, it doesn't seem to be much slower than Ray Allen!" ”

"Huh? I really didn't pay attention to that. "Phil? Jackson listened to Fisher say this, and focused on Li Du's shooting speed, sure enough, Li Du's shooting speed was extremely fast, almost just got the ball, the ball was thrown, judging by feeling, it is indeed not necessary to claim that the fastest shot Ray Allen is slow!

Phil with a bigger smile? Jackson continued to add a clause after Li Du's name: The shooting speed is not slower than that of Ray Allen! And here is the focus of the circle. He thought to himself: "Sure enough, the people who can be recommended by Kobe Bryant are not ordinary, if this kid can still maintain such a shooting speed in the game, as long as the shooting rate reaches 35%, we will pick up a big bargain!" ”
