Chapter 5 Healing Bryant's Wounds
Looking at the situation almost the same as just now, Kobe frowned, both times it was like this, Li Du almost didn't move, but Odom leaned back once, and ran in the opposite direction of Li Du once. The pen is fun and the pavilion www.biquge.info strange! Odom's strength Kobe Bryant is clear, if he doesn't make a mistake, it is definitely an All-Star level in the NBA! But why is there such a strange situation in succession?
This time, Kobe Bryant didn't say anything about Odom, but turned to Li Du and said, "Run with all your might, I want to see your steps." ”
At this time, Li Du, who had easily won the other party in a row, had already relaxed, nodded, and said, "Okay." ”
Or the same bottom corner of the three-point line on the right side, after Li Du and Odom stood still, with Kobe's order, Li Du and Odom ran quickly, Li Du first circled the arc from the right side, ran along the baseline to the left 45 degrees, and sure enough, when there was no teammate cover, this run failed to get rid of Odom.
The corners of Li Du's mouth turned up slightly, and he turned around Odom! Rotating around each other at a rapid pace, this was originally the basic pace in the Bagua palm, but when it was used on the basketball court, the effect changed. The defense of basketball is all about defenders and attackers, and the attackers circle around the defenders, not only Odom, but even Kobe Bryant.
Li Du walked fast, and he stunned Odom in two laps, taking advantage of the moment when Odom was distracted, Li Du exerted force at his feet, grabbed the three-point line in two steps, and received the ball again. But this time, Kobe Bryant's pass was a little slower, and by the time Li Du received the ball, Odom had already come back to his senses, and when he saw Li Du receiving the ball and was about to throw, he took two big strides and jumped high against Li Du.
Li Du didn't have time to make other changes at this time, the ball was already about to shoot, and he was about to hit a big hat. At this moment, Li Du was in a hurry, the five fingers of his right hand tightened, and he grabbed the ball that was going to be thrown back, and at the same time followed the force of the basketball falling downward, holding the ball with his left hand, facing Odom on his side, and finally grasping the basketball with his right hand when the basketball fell to the waist, and then hooked his right hand, and the basketball crossed Odom with a high arc like a semicircle.
The "bang" basketball hit the basket frame, bounced high, and the "brush" fell straight into the hoop.
"Whew, so dangerous!" Li Du let out a long sigh, this ball was pure luck.
"Good shot! Your reflexes are incredible! After Odom landed, when he saw the ball go in like this, he knew that the trial of Li Du was over, and he did not hesitate to praise it.
"Not bad indeed!" Kobe Bryant also praised it, and then said to Li Du: "Your physical fitness, your feeling for basketball are very good, I solemnly invite you now, are you willing to participate in the Lakers tryout?" ”
Li Du didn't think about it, and immediately replied: "Of course I do!" ”
Kobe and Odom laughed, and Kobe finally asked, "What's your name?" ”
Li Du saw that Kobe recognized him, and habitually hugged his fists and said: "My name is Li Du, a Chinese in San Francisco, and I am a Chinese student of Chinese arts." ”
"Guoshu? I've only heard of Chinese Kung Fu. Odom asked, puzzled, "What is a national art?" ”
Li Du replied solemnly: "Kung fu that only kills the enemy and does not perform is a national skill!" ”
"Only kill the enemy, not perform?" Kobe Bryant recalled this sentence, basketball should actually be like this, everything is based on actual combat, give up fancy moves, use the least physical strength as much as possible, go to score the most points, or in the safest way, prevent the opponent from scoring!
Kobe Bryant raised his head and said to Li Du: "I have decided, I must get you into the Lakers!" Tell me about you, and I'll ask my agent to help you arrange tryouts and drafts. ”
The other party is Kobe Bryant, a basketball superstar, and his character has long been known, so Li Du told him his situation without reservation.
Bryant and Odom were sympathetic to Shang Xiaolong's injury, but Li Du's situation was also a bit tricky. According to the current NBA draft rules, he has been studying at USC for one year, which is in line with the draft rules, but Li Du has never played an official game, even if Kobe Bryant strongly recommends, this will make his draft pick infinitely behind, or even lose!
With Kobe's recommendation, Li Du should have no problem trying out with the Lakers, but he still needs to conquer the coaching staff and manager staff in the next training so that Li Du will not be selected in the NBA draft. But considering that he has never competed in an official game and does not have any fame, it is somewhat unlikely that the Lakers' uniform team will spend a lot of money to select him.
While they were chatting, a white man with a bald head and a white beard hurriedly ran over, this Lakers team doctor, and Gary, who also suggested that Kobe come to David Geffen Hospital for treatment? Dr. Witti taught Kobe a lesson as soon as they met: "I said Kobe, you just had surgery and need to rest, do you know!" You're running around like this, and you don't want your knees to recover! ”
Kobe Bryant also has a lot of respect for this old doctor who has been with the Lakers for nearly 30 years, and said with a wry smile: "Gary, I know you are for my good." But sitting like this all day makes me feel bad! I just saw a great young man downstairs, so Lamar and I came down to have a look and talk to him. Don't worry, I'm definitely not moving! ”
Gary glanced at Li Du and actually recognized him, "Aren't you the Chinese who came to my brother for treatment?" Your brother's injuries are serious! ”
Seeing Li Du's ignorant look, Gary explained: "My brother is Gray? Viti, my brother told me about your brother's injuries. In fact, I wouldn't have recommended Kobe Bryant to come here if it weren't for Gray's excellent treatment of trauma and sports injuries. He and your brother are both patients of my brother Gray! ”
Li Du suddenly realized, hurriedly stepped forward to hold Gary's hand, and asked sincerely: "It turned out to be you, may I ask if my senior brother's injury can really be recovered?" ”
Gary nodded, but said in embarrassment: "It is indeed possible to recover, but that kind of cost is too expensive, and it requires continuous treatment for at least 3 years!" I can give some advice on medical care and rehabilitation, but I can't help it when it comes to money. ”
Li Du was already so excited that he didn't know why, and thanked his family again and again. Only then did Gary remember, pointed at Kobe Bryant and asked, "Kobe, is he the guy you said played well?" ”
Bryant nodded, and Gary let go of Li Du's hand and looked Li Du up and down. The height is more than 1.90 meters, the body looks slender and well-proportioned, and the hands are close to the knees when they hang down naturally, and the arm span is good.
Li Du was uncomfortable by Gary, and he didn't say much, so he had to look left and right. I happened to see Shang Yun passing by, and hurriedly said, "Master, Master, I'm here!" ”
Shang Yun originally came out to find Li Du, but when he heard the voice, he looked over, and walked over with a quickened pace. Seeing Li Du standing with two black people and a white man, he was puzzled and asked, "Xiao Du, what's going on?" ”
Li Du hurriedly introduced to Shang Yun: "Master, this is Gary?" Dr. Witti is his brother's attending physician. ”
Shang Yun greeted Gary, and Li Du continued: "This is Kobe?" Bryant, this is Ramal? Odom, they are all NBA stars, and they earn a lot every year! ”
Then Li Du said to Shang Yun: "Master, they want me to participate in the NBA draft and become a professional player, so that my brother's medical expenses will not be a problem!" ”
Shang Yun was also shocked when he heard this, and asked Kobe: "Mr. Bryant, can my apprentice really enter the NBA?" ”
Kobe Bryant nodded affirmatively, "Li Du's physical fitness is very good, and he also has a good feeling for basketball, I am very optimistic about him." ”
Shang Yun nodded, and admonished Li Du: "I know that the NBA is a place with very strong confrontation, after you enter the NBA, remember to strengthen the cultivation of national arts, practicing martial arts is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat!" ”
Li Du nodded seriously, clenched his fists, bowed, and saluted to his master: "Master, please rest assured, I will definitely live up to you and expectations." ”
Shang Yun stretched out his hand to help Li Du up, and said in a deep voice: "The most important thing is not to get hurt!" ”
"Master......" Master, who never showed joy, anger, sorrow and joy on his face, revealed his true feelings at this moment, and Li Du was speechless for a while.
Patting Li Du, Shang Yun turned to Kobe Bryant and said, "Mr. Bryant, thank you, I also have some research on medical skills, your injury is in the knee, can I take a look?" ”
Kobe Bryant looked at Shang Yun and then at Gary, after all, Gary is an expert when it comes to medical care. Gary also asked at the right time: "This old gentleman, I know Kobe's injury very well, and I also know about Chinese medicine, but his injury cannot be cured with Chinese medicine!" ”
Shang Yun smiled and said, "Of course, it is impossible to use only Chinese medicine, but I am massaging him in a special way, which can assist in the recovery of his knees and make his knees stronger than before!" ”
"Massage ......" Gary hesitated. Indeed, if there is a smart masseur who often massages Kobe's knees, it can speed up Kobe's recovery, but it is not easy to talk about smart masseurs, and there are few in the whole United States and even the whole world!
Seeing that Gary was still hesitating, Shang Yun reached out and patted him lightly on the shoulder, and Gary jumped back far away uncontrollably! After landing on the ground, he stared at Shang Yun blankly, completely unaware of what was going on, how could he jump up uncontrollably!
Shang Yun smiled and asked, "Now you believe it, right?" Rest assured, even if Mr. Bryant's injury is not healed, at least there is no harm. ”
Kobe Bryant and the three foreigners were shocked by the old man's miraculous skills, while Li Du was more envious and longing. The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway. Li Du knew that his master's hand looked amazing, but in fact, it was the upper realm of listening to the strength of kung fu in Taijiquan, as soon as the hand was on the opponent's body, it could destroy the opponent's center of gravity and make the opponent act according to his own wishes.
Li Du also heard the master talk about Taijiquan, but he has not been learning boxing for a long time, and his own Shang-style Xingyi Quan and Baguazhang have not been practiced in place, so he does not dare to be greedy.
Kobe Bryant was shocked to see Shang Yun's magical kung fu, but he still had to ask Gary's opinion for his knee. When Gary saw Kobe Bryant looking at him, he knew that Kobe was asking for his opinion. After a moment's hesitation, Gary said to Shang Yun: "Your Chinese kung fu is very magical, but the knee injury is too important for a person, especially an athlete like Kobe, I hope I can watch from the side, if I find something wrong, I will stop you immediately, okay?" ”
Shang Yun nodded in agreement, "Of course, after all, you are Mr. Bryant's doctor." ”
