Chapter 144: Lakers VS Celtics
Time is limited, Li Du can't help it, he himself has excellent flexibility in various parts, and it took almost a month to learn the big mudra, not to mention Yao Ming, who has never been in contact with these. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Before Yao Ming left, the two agreed that the next time they met again, Li Du would teach him the remaining mudras step by step. Now that he has learned, these three mudras are enough as long as he is introduced!
The Rockets will go to Oakland to play the Golden State Warriors the next day, and the Lakers, on the other hand, will also face the visiting Celtics at home that night!
Since the Celtics formed the Big Three in the summer, they have been the strongest team in the East, and in the entire league! In the first half of the season, the Lakers once challenged the Celtics on the road, and that time, the Lakers without Gasol lost, and they lost on the inside!
In that game, Li Du completely blocked Ray Allen, allowing Ray Allen to only have five shots in the whole game, and he missed all of them! It's a pity that it was also this game that made Li Du feel deeply powerless. He blocked Ray Allen, the Celtics and Garnett and Pierce, those two are also strong men who are both offensive and defensive!
Although Bryant scored 43 points in that game, the Lakers finally lost the game because they couldn't guard Garnett and Rondo.
This time, the Lakers, who have a full lineup, face the Big Three, whether it is Kobe Bryant or others, they will not allow themselves to lose again! The Lakers are in high spirits!
The question to be solved now is, who should Li Du defend?
As an outside defensive leader, Li Du can defend against a lot of people. Rondo, who has become the engine of the Celtics, Ray Allen, the sharpshooter, and Pierce, the offensive kaleidoscope, are all opponents he can choose from. However, everyone also understands that in the face of the current Celtic, it is useless to guard against only one or two people!
When the Lakers had an internal meeting before the game, Li Du raised this question. The Zen master also thought about it for a long time, but in the end he did not come to a specific conclusion. The current Lakers have a complete lineup, but they are not without weaknesses, and the point guard is the biggest weakness in their lineup!
Fisher is an athlete with a big heart, his 0.4-second victory over the Spurs is still praised by fans, and his grasp of timing and situation is absolutely irreplaceable among the Lakers! However, his weakness is also obvious, and that is the defence, especially the speed of the movement, and at the age of 34, he can no longer keep up with the young defenders.
If Fisher is still in the starting line-up, whether he defends Rondo or Ray Allen, there will only be a result! But if he is put on the second team and Odom is mentioned in the starting lineup, the Lakers will have no problem starting, but the offensive and defensive ability of the second team will be greatly reduced!
Against the Celtics, the second team is also not to be missed!
In the end, the Zen master still decided to let Li Du defend Ray Allen first, after all, Ray Allen's ability to run, catch and shoot is too strong, and on the Lakers' side, except for Li Du, only Kobe Bryant can keep up. Of course, it is impossible for the Zen master to let Kobe Bryant expend his physical strength in the chase with Ray Allen, so he can only let Li Du continue to defend Ray Allen. However, Li Du has some ideas of his own......
When warming up before the game, Lakers fans were surprised to find that Li Du's warm-up method had changed again! In the past, Li Du practiced Xingyi Quan and Baguazhang, but this time, Li Du did not practice boxing, but stood in place, and his hands began to seal continuously!
Yoga Mahamudra, since Li Du taught Yao Ming, he also has some deeper understanding of Yoga Mahamudra in the process of teaching. Just as Shang Yun said, if you only talk about health preservation, increasing physical strength, and improving the body, and don't talk about actual combat fighting ability, Yoga Mahamudra is one of the few cultivation methods in the world that can be comparable to national arts.
Li Du has been stuck at the peak level of Ming Jin for a long time, and his training of his mind has also had some results, and he can occasionally exert his strength beyond Ming Jin, but he has never been able to step into the dark energy. The reason for this is that it is difficult for him to grasp the thunder sound of the tiger and leopard, which is the key problem.
The tiger and leopard thunder sound is a cultivation method in the national art that imitates the tiger to shake the bones, so as to stimulate the body to gradually become stronger, but there are very few people who can master it, and Li Du cannot master it. It can't stimulate the bones, and it is difficult for the strength to penetrate deep into the body to transform the body functions, which is one of the reasons why Li Du has been difficult to enter the dark energy.
When Li Du taught Yao Ming to practice yoga Mahamudra, he found that during the Mahamudra movement, there was actually a vibration to the bones, and the effect may not be as rapid and diligent as the Haw Par Lei Yin, but it had a good effect! Therefore, in addition to practicing boxing, Li Du spends a lot of time pondering yoga mudras these days.
After a series of strange and even contrary movements to the human body, Li Du actually felt that his body was slightly hot, and the bones of his whole body were wrapped in this gentle heat, which was very comfortable, and he couldn't help but close his eyes and enjoy it.
Seeing Li Du's appearance, Ray Allen smiled bitterly and said to Pierce and Garnett: "It seems that I don't want to score today, this game depends on you!" ”
Garnett and Pierce looked at each other and smiled bitterly, they were both impressed by Li Du's defense, Ray Allen didn't talk about scoring under Li Du's defense, it was good to be able to shoot! And deep down, they all have a kind of happiness, glad that Li Du is not defending himself!
After getting on the field, Li Du stood beside Ray Allen, smiled, and said, "Senior, we met again!" ”
Ray Allen smiled bitterly and said, "Li, let's discuss, don't be so tight during the game, let me have an explanation!" ”
Li Du smiled and said, "Senior, I can't help it!" If you have an explanation, I can't explain it. Let's have our own destiny! ”
On the Lakers' side, in the end, the Zen master still did not change the lineup, and the players were: Fisher, Li Du, Kobe, Gasol and Bynum.
Bynum was originally on the bench, but because of the trade away Kwame Brown, he finally sat in the starting center position.
The Celtics are also a regular lineup, with the Big Three with Rondo and the center with "Big Baby" Davis. In this way, it is Bynum and Garnett who jump the ball.
As the referee tosses the basketball high in the air, the game begins.
Garnett scrambled to touch the ball and flicked it to the backcourt, and the Lakers quickly returned to defense.
After Rondo got the ball, he advanced to the front, and saw that it was Fisher who defended him, and he couldn't help but be a little happy, he had obvious defects in attack, if Li Du defended him, he wouldn't have to do anything else in this game except passing.
Li Du chased after this Ray Allen, and Garnett saw that Rondo stopped at the top of the arc, and without hesitation, he went up to block Rondo. After blocking Fisher, Garnett went inside, Rondo passed the ball in time, and with a flick of his wrist, the basketball was in Garnett's hands.
Garnett was just about to start with the ball when he suddenly found that Gasol had stopped him with open arms. "After the Lakers have Pau Gasol, it's really different!" Garnett's heart moved, and instead of making a layup, he chose a pull-up jump shot.
As soon as he jumped up, he heard Rondo shouting, "Kevin, be careful! ”
