Early the next morning, Shang Yun took Li Du and Shang Xiaolong to the Los Angeles Zoo. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 This zoo is located in Griffith Park and was built in 1966 on 113 acres. The park is home to 1,200 species of animals and welcomes 1.4 million visitors each year, and is one of 172 zoos in the United States approved by the American Association of Zoos and Aquariums.

After getting out of the car, because Shang Xiaolong couldn't stand for a long time, Shang Yun asked Li Du to push Shang Xiaolong, and the three of them entered the aquarium directly. Of course, they didn't come to see the show, but to the aquarium where they could observe the animals beneath the surface through the glass.

Here, Shang Yun took them to walk slowly until they found a sea turtle, Shang Yun pointed to the turtle and asked Li Du and Shang Xiaolong to watch carefully. The turtle swims lightly on the surface of the water, the turtle is bulky, but the wings are very light and agile.

"Turtles are the longest-lived animals." Shang Yun looked at it for a long time, and said slowly: "His body is very bulky, with a shell on his head, like a bear calm, but its wings are like a bird in the air, but it is as agile as a bird in the air. ”

Shang Yun said as he looked at Li Du and Shang Xiaolong, the disciple brother, can I hear how much less, and the rest is comprehended by himself. Moreover, now the two of them have not reached the realm of using heaven and earth to compare themselves and comprehend the truth, what they just said just now was just a little mention to them, so that they could have an impression, and there will be some inspiration and direction in the future.

Shang Yun put his hands behind his back and continued: "This time, I thought about the teacher Jing and let you come to the zoo, which is also a kind of cultivation. Boxing and animals are closely related, you need to practice the twelve forms of shape and meaning from sound to silent, fist power and fist shape are integrated, both strength and softness can be in the fight, sudden changes are coherent, perfect display, but the fist to the apex, the weight is the meaning, any moves, the shape change is not important. ”

"To be able to truly return to the basics of his boxing, every fight, showing hundreds of millions of years of animal evolution, in order to survive the natural true meaning, and not stick to the body, this is the peak of boxing!" Shang Yun said these words that he had never said to the two senior brothers, the two looked at each other, and immediately understood that the master was teaching himself the experience of Xingyi Fist, whether he heard it or not, he must write it down first!

Li Du likes to read Chinese studies, but he knows that many places in common with Chinese culture and Chinese culture are common. There is a saying in the national arts: when a person turns the national art from sound to silent, from tangible to invisible, and finally to the natural instinct of generation after generation, the artistic conception of survival. This is the true meaning of boxing at the pinnacle and supreme. From the outside to the inside, to see the big from the small, back to the basics, will be intentional or unintentional, can be called a "real person".

And the word "real person" was first written by Zhuangzi in "Zhuangzi. The Great Grandmaster".

Looking at the turtle and the turtle, Shang Yun explained: "Don't look at the turtle swimming in the water seems to be soft, but when it comes to dividing the muscles and bones, and grabbing closely, the most powerful thing is that the 'turtle floating' body is deep, and the two hands are light and agile. ”

Coming out of the aquarium, Shang Yun took the two of them to see the eagle again, looking at the American eagle trapped in the cage, Shang Yun sighed with some emotion: "We ancient Chinese believed that birds can fly in the air and are the race closest to God, and the eagle is the highest flying among birds. ”

As he spoke, Shang Yun pointed to a big brown bear not far away, "You see, the bear's body is extremely bulky, and it is also staggering when it walks, just like the whole body is fat, fat and chubby. ”

Li Du thought in his heart: the bear is the bulkiest animal, and the bird is the lightest animal, and the two extreme animals are fused together, but they form a special harmony! I have to sigh at the miraculous wisdom of my ancestors!

"The body is like an old bear, the hands are like eagles flying, and the turtles are paddling! This is the key to the formation of the bear eagle! Shang Yun finally summed up, and then stopped talking, leaving time for Li Du and his senior brothers to speculate on their own.

Li Du's heart moved, "his body is like an old bear, and his hands are like eagles" This sentence gave him a great inspiration, and he seemed to know all of a sudden how he could improve on the court, and it was still in the defense that he thought could not be improved before!

Li Du's current defense is actually terrifying, and most of the players he has defended call him "the opponent's nightmare". In addition to the terrible thing about Li Du's defense, in addition to the fact that he can judge the truth of the opponent's movements through the opponent's muscles and force, whether to the left or to the right, the more important thing is that he does not suffer in speed, and he has an advantage in strength.

For fast players, Li Du can keep up, and with the impact of the players who resist Li Du, Li Du will also not let the opponent take advantage. This makes many players have no way to take Li Du, and under his defense, the offensive efficiency has dropped sharply. That's why many critics have argued that this season's "Defensive Player of the Year" should undoubtedly be awarded to Lidu.

But Li Du's defense is not without weaknesses, especially when he encounters a player like James who has both speed and strength, Li Du is always inferior to the opponent in height and weight, and his weakness is highlighted at this time.

Although Li Du can use some special forces and standing piles to stabilize his body, but in the same way, in the confrontation, Li Du needs to use more physical strength and strength. This is also the reason why Li Du was almost physically exhausted in the last game with James, and he left the court with six fouls.

Shang Yun looked at Li Du thoughtfully, and said to Li Du: "Xiao Du, you told me yesterday that your basketball path is different from everyone else, what they need is training for some of their physical and technical shortcomings, and you need to integrate things from Guoshu into basketball, I think, this is also the reason why although you have been distracted from basketball recently, your Guoshu cultivation has improved." ”

"Integrating the things in the national arts into basketball technology, no one has done this kind of thing before, so the teacher can't give you more advice, I can only say, if you want to know something about the national arts, I will tell you as a teacher!"

"Thank you, Master!" Li Du hugged his fist to the master, and then found an open space, and showed the master and his brother some footwork that he had recently figured out and was going to use in basketball, and also said his troubles, attacking with the ball, and lacking the ability to take the initiative to attack!

Shang Yun looked at Li Du's footwork, didn't speak, touched his chin and thought for a long time, and finally gave Li Du a hint: "Xiao Du, although I don't know basketball as a teacher, any technical action requires solid basic skills, which is an unchanging truth in any sport." So, don't think about breaking through with the ball and taking the initiative to attack, you need to practice the basketball dribbling to the point where you can master it! As for the footwork, I think it's very good, but you are more using the footwork in Xingyi Boxing, in fact, there is a footwork in the Bagua palm that is more suitable for the basketball court! ”

"What footwork?"

"Kirin Walk!"
