Pelinka said that the old Nelson was coming to visit him, which made Li Du a little surprised, and at the same time a little moved in his heart. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info he understands that when the old Nelson came to visit him, he also wanted to observe whether his injury would affect his athletic ability in the future, but as a famous coach, it is already commendable to visit an injured player regardless of face!
So Li Du didn't wait for Pelinka to ask, and agreed: "It's rare that Mr. Nelson has this heart." Robert, please help me tell him that I am honored that Mr. Nelson has come to see me. Li Du swept the couch at his home in Los Angeles to greet him! ”
The word "couch greeting" did not exist in English, Pelinka did not understand, and Li Du explained again, so Pelinka wrote down Li Du's words and prepared to convey them to old Nelson.
After hanging up the phone, Li Du told his senior brother and Pretti about the current situation. Shang Xiaolong slapped his thigh and said with a smile: "Senior brother, this is a good thing!" It would be great if you could actually go back to San Francisco! And the old Nelson has always been a master tactician, he can be called Frankenstein because he can always invent some new tactics, I believe he will be able to invent a series of tactics for you, make you famous in the NBA! ”
Pritti said, "Honey, we can go anywhere, as long as we are together, I am willing to go anywhere!" ”
Li Du shook his head and said to Pretty, "But if we leave Los Angeles, your film career will be greatly affected!" We'll have to figure it out again! ”
Pratti held Li Du's hand affectionately and said, "I will accompany you in the future, I will go wherever you go, I won't act in movies anymore!" ”
Without waiting for Li Du to say anything, Pretti leaned on Li Du's arms and continued: "You said that I am your auspicious day, and I hope I will accompany you by your side and bring you luck!" Since the moment you were hurt, I have been regretting it, life is so short, we finally met each other, we should cherish every minute and every second together! ”
"I say, you're too sensual! Don't forget, I'm still here! Shang Xiaolong shouted dissatisfiedly: "Be affectionate, you can love as much as you want at night!" Brother, I'm still single! ”
As soon as Shang Xiaolong called like this, Li Du and Pritty looked at him at the same time, laughing, Li Du said while laughing: "Senior brother, don't worry, you will definitely be able to find a satisfactory sister-in-law!" Why don't I ask Prett to introduce you? ”
"Get out!" Shang Xiaolong scolded with a smile: "You kid, it's better to take care of yourself!" ”
Pretti whispered on the side: "If Senior Brother is looking for a girlfriend, I still know some nice girls, and they should be happy to meet Senior Brother!" ”
"Really?" When Shang Xiaolong heard this, his eyes lit up, but he knew that Pratti knew many people in Hollywood, and all of them were very beautiful.
Pretti promised Shang Xiaolong that she would definitely introduce him to a beautiful girl. was made such a fuss by Shang Xiaolong, and the meaty scene of Li Du and Pritty complaining to each other finally passed.
What they didn't expect was that Pelinka called Li Du early the next morning, saying that he was going to pick up old Nelson at the airport now and asked Li Du and them to prepare.
"Mr. Nelson is here so soon?" Li Du was very surprised, he only told Pelinka about it yesterday, and today Nelson rushed over, which made him a little flattered.
Pelinka's next words moved Li Du greatly, "More than that! I called him yesterday afternoon, when he had just arrived in Salt Lake City, and when he heard it, he didn't even care that the team was going to play the Jazz today, and booked a plane early this morning and rushed over! Li, the old man thinks very highly of you! ”
After hanging up the phone, Li Du was moved, and at the same time, he was full of respect for this old man who he didn't really know, and secretly decided that if he could really be traded to the Warriors, he would definitely play hard for this old man, listen to his teachings, and repay the old man's kindness, just like he did to Kobe!
Thinking of this, Li Du called Pretti and Shang Xiaolong over and asked them to lift themselves into a wheelchair, and then the three of them came to the gate and waited for Old Nelson to arrive.
Not long after, Pelinka's car came, parked not far away, and out of the car came a white-haired, energetic old man, who was none other than NBA coach and Frankenstein's master tactician, Don Nelson.
Seeing the old Nelson, Li Du hurriedly stood up with the support of Pretti and Shang Xiaolong, and bowed with his fists in the etiquette of the younger generation of Chinese to see the elders: "Mr. Nelson, I feel very honored to have your arrival!" Thank you! ”
Old Nelson has been coaching the Warriors for so many years, and he also knows some Chinese customs and etiquette, he immediately understood that Li Du was greeting him with the highest etiquette in China, hurriedly took two steps forward, gently lifted Li Du, and said heartily: "Li, you are too polite!" ”
Li Du let old Nelson into the house, Pletty went to make tea, and he talked with Shang Xiaolong and Pelinka to talk to old Nelson.
After sitting down, old Nelson said straight to the point: "Lee, I won't go around the bush." I would love to meet you so badly for two reasons. As you can guess, the team management and I really want you to play for the Warriors, but you're injured and I want to make sure you're doing. The second reason is that I want to hear from you about your understanding of basketball, and I see how fast you are improving. Three years ago, you were a rookie, and last year, you helped the team win the championship! This season, you've led the Lakers to back-to-back victories, and you've got pretty pretty stats yourself, and I want to know, how do you understand the game of basketball, how can you make such a big improvement? ”
Li Du was also polite, telling Nelson his view that basketball games are wars and life-and-death competitions, and then said that he was guided by the art of war in Chinese civilization and used some of these strategies on the court.
When two people talk about this, they both have the feeling of meeting and hating each other! The elder Nelson himself is a master tactician, and is famous for his bold use of tactics in competitions and training, so he will have the title of "Frankenstein".
Li Du took war as the theory of the court, and told the old Nelson theories in the Chinese art of war, such as "the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road", "one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion", "avoid the real and make a false sound, and attack the west with a voice", which made him excited, and Li Du's views coincided with the basketball tactical theory he has been studying for many years!
They kept talking about the evening, after the old Nelson had dinner at Li Du's house, he already liked and admired Li Du, but Li Du told him that these theories were studied by the ancient Chinese two thousand years ago, not Li Du's own, and the old Nelson decided to find some books on this subject to study well after going back. Of course, it is best to get Li Du's advice.
Finally, the elder Nelson said to Li Du: "Lee, I finally understand that even if your athletic ability declines in the future, you will still be the master of the court!" I'll let you go to the Warriors at all costs! ”
