Chapter Seventy-Five: Encountering Old Acquaintances in a Foreign Country
"Well, the grace of dripping water, the spring reciprocates! I understand! Yao Ming patted Li Du lightly, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Xiao Li, I am a few years older than you, and I entered the alliance a few years earlier than you. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Yao Ming said this very politely, Li Du hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Brother Yao, you say!" ”
Sighing, Yao Ming said slowly: "The NBA is actually a big, big circle of fame and fortune, and reputation and interests are completely linked!" It's like that for individuals and it's for the team! No matter how great a player is, he is just a pawn of the team, and the vast majority of people in the NBA value interests, and everything is business! Anyone can be traded, even me! So, you can do your best to Kobe Bryant and the Lakers in order to repay the favor, but don't think that the Lakers will have a deep affection for you, the team and the players are different! ”
After listening to Yao Ming's words, Li Du didn't speak, nodded silently, he grew up in the United States, and he has been paying attention to the NBA for so many years under the leadership of his senior brother, he understands what Yao Ming said, but now he has just entered the league, especially he became a member of the Lakers with the help of Kobe, and it is really difficult for him to be ready to be traded now.
After thinking for a while, Li Du raised his head and smiled at Yao Ming, and said, "Thank you, Brother Yao, I figured it out, I'm only in my first year now, and the transaction has nothing to do with me for the time being, and I don't need to care about these things, just play well and show my strongest side!" ”
"That's right! That's it! Yao Ming patted the table lightly, "We are players, as long as we play a good game!" Let the team management and coaches worry about the rest! ”
Speaking of this, Li Du suddenly thought of a question: "Brother Yao, what do you think I should do now to quickly improve my role on the court?" ”
Yao Mingyi frowned, shook his head and said, "I don't know, in fact, as a rookie, your performance is amazing enough!" Don't you know yet, in order to prevent you from blocking the team's outside core like you did at the beginning of the season and causing the team to lose, many teams have arranged a second outside core! You've just been in the league and you've changed a lot of teams in the league, which is already remarkable! ”
"It's a pity!" Yao Ming sighed, "It's a pity that we are not in the same position, otherwise I would like you to ask for a defensive skill!" ”
Li Du smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Yao, now it's a matter of discussing my problem, why is it on you again!" ”
Yao Ming laughed, "Let's chat, you can say anything, to be honest, I've never seen a player like you, a rookie, and the defense is already at a historical level." ”
"Forget it, no matter how good the defense is, you can only defend against one person, but there are five people on the basketball court!" Li Du shook his head, but he still said his experience in defending the inner line: "The internal defense is actually similar to the head-on battle between the two armies in ancient times, every inch of land must be contested, and it is a clash of strength!" ”
Yao Ming nodded thoughtfully, and Li Du continued: "All inside steps, in fact, in the final analysis, have only two purposes, one is to squeeze the other party away and gain the front offensive space; One is to avoid the opponent and attack space from the side or back. As long as we can grasp this, the space for the inside line is not large, plus Brother Yao, your height and strength, there is no problem at all in guarding the inside line! ”
Hearing Li Du say this, Yao Ming smiled bitterly: "The truth is indeed the truth, but who can guarantee that it will be prevented every time!" Especially in the confrontation of strength, the strength of O'Neill's level is simply incomprehensible! ”
"That's right!" Li Du also had to admit that O'Neill's terrifying power was far beyond that of normal people, thinking about Yao Ming's current strength, Li Du said to Yao Ming: "Brother Yao, in fact, your current strength is also very strong, but I'm worried that your flexibility will be affected!" ”
"It's already affected, and it's not small!" Yao Ming said helplessly: "When I first entered the league, I was too thin and not very confrontational, and then I had to increase strength training and gain weight, so that I could stand on the inside!" But the price is that because of the weight gain, my flexibility is far less than it was at the beginning, and I can't do a lot of foot movements now! ”
Li Du's heart moved, and he proposed to Yao Ming: "Brother Yao, I have a way to strengthen the strength of your waist and legs, and not only will it not affect your flexibility, but it can improve it a little!" ”
Yao Ming's eyes lit up and asked, "What way?" Do you mean, like you, practice martial arts? ”
Li Du nodded and said, "Yes!" But it's not those domestic martial arts routines, but only killing the enemy, not performing national arts! I'll ask my master and let him see if you're suitable for learning that kind of pile gong! ”
Waving his hand, Yao Ming sighed and said to Li Du: "Xiao Li, no need, I understand your kindness!" In my current situation, I can't learn the national art anymore. ”
"Brother Yao......" Li Dugang wanted to say something more, but Yao Ming interrupted him and explained: "For Guoshu, I also once understood a little, Guoshu force is similar to many sports, the force starts from the feet, and with the help of kicking the ground, it increases its own strength. How strong is the power of kicking the ground, how strong is the power that can be exerted! ”
Li Du was stunned, this is indeed the basic theory of martial arts, I didn't expect Yao Ming to know it! Yao Ming continued: "But there is a premise for all this! The power of the rebound is transmitted to the body through the feet, and if this force increases its own explosive power, it will also have a huge burden on the body, and once the body can not bear the load, it will be injured! ”
Smiling wryly and comparing his body, Yao Ming sighed: "My current height and weight have put a huge burden on my legs!" So I can't learn Guoshu, and if I practice like that for a long time, I'm afraid my legs will have problems! ”
With this explanation, Li Du understood Yao Ming's current predicament, but unfortunately, he didn't know what to do. But Yao Ming is still more optimistic, he said: "Xiao Li, you don't have to worry, I understand my body, as long as I don't get injured, my competitive state can be maintained for a long time!" ”
On this day, Li Du and Yao Ming talked a lot, and it was not until late that Li Du returned to the hotel. They were obviously only meeting for the first time, but they seemed to have known each other for a long time; Obviously, the two of them are actually opponents on the court, but they treat each other with sincerity, and they are very honest and cordial to each other.
Perhaps only when you leave your motherland and are truly in a foreign country can you truly feel what kind of excitement and joy it is to "meet your hometown in another country"!
