Chapter 23 Concerns from China
Li Du didn't understand these things for the time being, so he had to silently write down his master's words and leave them to explore slowly later. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Not long after Info hung up, Pelinka called again. This time he wasn't excited, but the joy in his words was undisguised: "Li, haven't you slept yet?" Good news for you, I just received a call from your Chinese state television, and the Chinese media and fans are very concerned about you, and I hope you can meet them and give you an exclusive interview. What do you think? ”
Li Du attached great importance to the concern for the motherland, and immediately agreed, and said to Pelinka: "Robert, you tell them that they can meet at any time." It's up to you to arrange this matter, and be sure to take care of their reporters. ”
Pelinka smiled: "You don't have to worry about this. However, Li, you haven't been interviewed by any media until now, how can you be so excited to hear about China? Is the Chinese love plot really so heavy? Didn't you still say that you wouldn't play for the Chinese men's basketball team? ”
Li Du smiled and explained: "Robert, we are not called homelovers, but miss the motherland. There is an old Chinese saying that leaves fall back to their roots. Many Chinese living outside China wish to return to their homeland before they die. As for the competition, it's a matter of nationality, there is no way, if I turn back to Chinese nationality, my master will definitely kill me! ”
The two of them chatted for a while and hung up the phone, Li Du saw that the time was not early, he was going to sleep, and when he thought that he had stood all night yesterday, he wanted to try again. "If I can stand like that all night longer, it proves that my boxing has improved, and the next step is to try to get the most out of my martial arts. This will give me a chance to enter the dark energy! Li Du pondered, "As for what Master said about refining the mind and finding strength in moving, I don't understand it yet, so I can only slowly find opportunities to understand it in the future." ”
Li Du understands that practicing boxing, especially at this time of his life, is not in a hurry at all. If you have anxious emotions in your heart, once you don't control it well, it will lead to the inability to enter the dark energy for the rest of your life, and even your own boxing skills will regress!
The feet are naturally separated, slightly bent, the body is slightly sinking, and the hands are stretched out back and forth, hugging each other. This is the mixed element pile, the pile gong of the bear eagle joint attack, the body should be calm, like a bear, the eyes should be open and forward, and it is like an eagle soaring in the sky, Li Du's spine, his waist and legs rise and fall slightly with his breathing, and his heels and soles seem to be sucked on the ground.
"The breath of a real person is a heel" This is the sentence used by Zhuangzi to describe the Taoist "real person", Li Du is now trying to imitate and learn this kind of artistic conception, the essence of the bear and eagle joint attack is also here, health, and then can play a strong boxing technique.
Two hours later, Li Du slowly exhaled a breath, gathered his momentum and stood still, shaking his head and sighing: "After all, there is still some heat left, and the state of standing on the pile all night unconsciously is still far away from my current self!" ”
Li Du got up early the next morning, which was a habit he had developed over the years of practicing martial arts. After practicing boxing in the yard, Li Du returned home to pack his equipment and prepare to go to the gym to practice again. He doesn't have many friends in Los Angeles, and his teammates went to the nightclub last night, and now it is probably the time to sleep soundly, and Li Du doesn't want to disturb them.
When Li Du came to the Lakers' training hall, he found that there were already people practicing, and the "bang" sound of the basketball hitting the floor could be heard from afar.
"Is it the boss?" Li Du's first reaction was that Kobe Bryant should be practicing.
Bryant is a man who is obsessed with winning to the point of being paranoid, and in order to win, he constantly ponders and improves his ball skills, completely turning himself into a training maniac. He is ruthless to himself and very strict with others, which leads many people to have opinions about Kobe, thinking that Kobe Bryant is arrogant and unkind.
In fact, Li Du understands that Kobe Bryant wants his teammates around him to become better and stronger, but his personality determines that his way is not acceptable to everyone, and sometimes Kobe Bryant does bad things with good intentions.
Pushing open the door of the training hall, the person who practiced was not Kobe! It's a person that Li Du doesn't usually have much contact with, and even his teammates and coaching staff don't like it very much, Kwame Brown!
Seeing Li Du coming in, Kwamei Brown greeted Li Du honestly: "Li, are you here too?" The whole team is on vacation today, and you didn't go out to play? ”
Li Du greeted Kwamei Brown and began to change his sneakers and training clothes, "Kwamei, didn't you go to play either?" I'm not interested in playing, my hobbies are practicing Chinese art and reading books. ”
Kwame Brown praised Li Du and said: "Now you are very strong, and you have been recognized by everyone, and you have worked so hard, which makes me feel ashamed." ”
In Kwame Brown's words, there was a meaning of patting Li Du's ass, and Li Du felt a little uncomfortable when he heard it. He smiled reluctantly and said politely: "Kuamei, you are also very strong." I'm sure you'll be able to become the league's top interior player in the future! ”
Li Du said polite words, but after hearing it, Kwame Brown took it seriously, he sighed, and said lonely: "Li, thank you for comforting me." In fact, I know very well that I am not strong, and if it weren't for the lack of an interior line that the Lakers can fight against, the team would have traded me a long time ago! ”
In fact, everyone knows that this is a fact. The Lakers have had a tradition of selecting and developing excellent centers since the inception of the team. The earliest George? McCann, to O'Neal, who created the Lakers dynasty for the last time, every time the Lakers dynasty is established, it is inseparable from a strong top-level interior line.
Since Kobe Bryant became the boss of the Lakers, although his scoring can break a series of records every year, the Lakers without a top interior line have stopped in the first round of the playoffs every time. The Lakers need a good insider! This is clear not only to the Lakers coaching staff, management and players, but also to Lakers fans.
That is, because the Lakers are extremely lacking in interior players, especially excellent interior players who can go to fight and guard the restricted area, Kwame Brown, who has almost become an outcast on other teams, can come to the Lakers to play. But as Bynum has risen to prominence, Kwame Brown's playing time has been running out of minutes.
Fortunately, the top interior players are all treasures in their respective teams, and the Lakers management has been looking for a long time, but they have not found a suitable interior lineman, so Kwame Brown was able to stay with the Lakers temporarily. But he also understands that once the team finds the right inside, he's the first to be traded!
Depressed, Kwame Brown had to come to the training gym alone during the break and practice frantically, hoping that after he was tired of practice, he would not want to think about these annoying things for the time being.
Li Du quietly listened to Kwame Brown talk about the depression and troubles in his heart, he knew that Kwame Brown said this to him, and he was just looking for someone to confide in his inner irritability, and he didn't expect Li Du to really give him any help.
While listening to Kwame Brown talk about his troubles, Li Du has been thinking about a problem. In all fairness, Kwame Brown's physical condition is actually not bad, and not only is it not bad, but he can even be described as talented.
He has the height and strength of a center, and he also has a hand-shot, not only can he dunk under the basket, but also his backhand is a must, and the most rare thing is that he also has a good ability to respond to the ball! And his footwork is very solid, he can do all the center's footwork!
It stands to reason that an interior player has so many advantages that it is only a matter of time before he becomes the top interior player in the league. But why did Kwame Brown work hard in the NBA for so many years, not only did he not become an inside monster like he did in high school, but instead wore the big hat of "parallel import"?
