Before the game, Li Du held back his strength and wanted to compete with James again. Unfortunately, before the game, the Cavaliers officially announced that James had a viral flu and would not play in this game.

Without James's Cavaliers, there is no way to compete with the Lakers, for this kind of game without suspense, Kobe Bryant and Li Du are not interested, Kobe Bryant made 22 shots, hit 9 balls, but made 15 free throws, hit 14 goals, and finally scored 36 points. Li Du simply went off the bench and finally scored 15 points and hit 5 three-pointers.

After the Lakers comfortably beat the Cavaliers 116-104 at home, the Lakers are still strong title contenders with a 30-23 record in fourth place in the West.

Next up is All-Star Weekend, a rare mid-season break for many players. For NBA superstars such as Kobe Bryant, All-Star Weekend can be very tiring, and they need to participate in various activities organized by NBA officials or All-Star organizers, and the daily itinerary is slow.

The list of starters and substitutes for this All-Star has already been decided, and Kobe Bryant has become the vote king of this All-Star with 2.89 million votes. Although Li Du is magical, his current style of play is simply a role player, so he didn't make it to the All-Star. And he received an official invitation from the NBA to play in the rookie game, but unfortunately his style of play is based on defense and running, and he is destined to have no chance to perform in the almost unguarded rookie game.

Therefore, Li Du didn't think about how to perform at the All-Star Weekend, and this All-Star is just a holiday for him to experience the festival of basketball fans around the world. What he cares about most is that he still hopes to deal with the All-Star side as soon as possible, he wants to rush back to the hospital and have a good New Year with Master.

Chinese New Year's Eve has passed, at that time Li Du is on a road trip to the east, there is no chance to accompany Master and them for the New Year, or Pritty goes to David Geffen Hospital, instead of Li Du to accompany Master and Master and them. Fortunately, the Spring Festival is the most important and longest-lasting traditional Chinese festival.

Li Du calculated that he would only participate in the rookie game this time, and he would not have much chance to perform in the rookie game, so it was better to relax and play, and then fly back to Los Angeles the next day.

This year's All-Star Game was held in Las Vegas and is said to be officially set by the NBA. In Li Du's heart, it was a gambling city, so Li Du didn't have a good impression of that place, and it was the Chinese New Year, and Li Du was even more at home.

With this kind of thinking, Li Du simply went through the motions during the All-Star Weekend. His biggest takeaway this time was getting to know a lot of NBA stars, including the twin stars of Roy and Aldridge, who entered the NBA in the same year as him and are now the Trail Blazers. These two have fought with Li Du before, but they don't talk much to each other, this time everyone is relaxed, and they are both newcomers, and they talked a lot when they got together.

In the rookie game, Li Du only played for more than ten minutes and basically didn't score, but he got 7 assists with his beautiful passing. Because Li Du likes to pass the ball in the game, the rookies of the same year have a good impression of Li Du. In the end, the second-year team defeated the first-year team 106-96, but this kind of victory and defeat is meaningless for many people, and Li Du doesn't care about this kind of thing.

The day after the rookie game, Li Du couldn't wait to fly back to Los Angeles and came to David Geffen Hospital, Li Du first asked his brother how he was recovering, and then took Preti to meet Master and Master with him.

Shi Niang treats Pretty like her own daughter now, and after a while, she pulls Pretty aside to talk. Li Du sat on the side of Shang Xiaolong's bedside and chatted with his master and brother.

The three of them were all born in the practice of national arts, and after a while, the topic talked about national arts again, and this time they talked about Li Du's cultivation.

Shang Xiaolong has been observing Li Du since Li Du entered the door, and finally asked Shang Yun in an uncertain tone at this time: "Father, it stands to reason that Xiao Du has now become a professional player, and I also watched Xiao Du's game some time ago, and he has been trying to find a way to improve in basketball." But today I watched for a long time, and I found that Xiao Du broke through to the dark energy so quickly? Am I mistaken? ”

Shang Yun heard Shang Xiaolong say this, and also looked at Li Du carefully, and then instructed Li Du: "Xiao Du, I will take a look if you punch with all your strength!" ”

"Yes, Master!" Li Du knew that this was the master who wanted to make an assessment of his boxing skills, so he stood up in the three-body pose, adjusted his spine, and then punched out with all his strength, and with his fist, a crisp sound of "pop" broke out in the air!

"It's hard to buy a sound, good!" Shang Xiaolong cheered loudly for Li Du!

"Good!" Shang Yun couldn't help but sigh in admiration when he saw Li Du's punch, and then looked at Li Du carefully, and even closed his eyes, approached Li Du, and listened to something with his ears. Li Du knew that this was an ability that only a Strength level grandmaster like Shang Yun possessed, with their keen hearing, they could hear the flow of the opponent's blood, so as to judge how far this person's kung fu had reached.

Shang Yun's ears moved, and then he asked Li Du: "Xiao Du, when you practiced boxing recently, did your hands and feet seem to be wrapped in something hard every time you used your strength?" But when you touch it yourself, there's nothing? ”

"Master, how do you know?" Li Du blurted out, and then was stunned, who is the master, and the stage he has experienced, the master has naturally experienced it. So he nodded, and while gesturing, he said, "Master, you are right, especially my palms, every time they feel weird, it feels like I have a very thick callus, but when I touch it, there is nothing!" ”

Shang Yun smiled and said, "Okay, good!" With this feeling, it means that this is a sign that you are about to step into the darkness! But it's also very strange to be a teacher, it stands to reason that if you are distracted from training basketball, it's good that your martial arts cultivation can maintain no regression, why is it that you still have some improvements? ”

Li Du spread his hands and said that he didn't know. However, Shang Yun did not dwell on this kind of issue, and his statement was: "No matter what, it's a good thing that your kung fu can still improve." One day, when you practice from the outside to the inside until your muscles and bones are condensed, you can officially inherit the national arts! ”

After speaking, Shang Yun thought about it again and said to Li Du: "I see that although you have always insisted on practicing the bear eagle formation, you have never been able to get the essentials, so let's do it, tomorrow you push your senior brother, and I will take you senior brother to the zoo for a walk." ”

"Zoo?" Li Du tilted his head and asked suspiciously: "Master, I know that many of the movements in the national art are learned from animals, but what is the use of going to the zoo to observe them?" ”

Seeing that Shang Xiaolong was also looking at himself with the same puzzled eyes, Shang Yun said mysteriously: "You have not yet reached the realm of comparing yourself with all things in heaven and earth, tomorrow, I will tell you!" ”
