Chapter 21: A Rise to Fame
Back home, as soon as Li Du put down his competition equipment, he received a call from his senior brother Shang Xiaolong: "Xiao Du, how does it feel to be a star?" ”
I can tell that the senior brother is in a good mood. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Li Du smiled: "Senior brother, don't mess with me, what a star, today is my first regular season." ”
Shang Xiaolong laughed and said, "I've watched the live broadcast, you kid, just rip off the basket!" Has your kung fu improved? The upper echelons of Ming Jin don't have this power. ”
Li Du smiled bitterly: "Don't mention it, I didn't think about it so much at that time, and when I accidentally ripped off the basket, I was still worried that I would have to pay for it!" ”
Shang Yun took the phone and said to Li Du: "Xiao Du, you carefully recall the force of the action of tearing off the basket, I look as if at that moment, you have reached the realm of inner triad." If you can use this to break through the dark energy, then I will be relieved. ”
"Yes, Master." After hanging up the phone, Li Du closed his eyes, and according to what the master said, he recalled his mood, thoughts and strength at that time.
Naturally, Li Du posed in a three-body pose. Everything he did in the game kept coming back to him like a movie. The arrow step of the collapse fist, the swiftness of the drill fist, the big stride of the split fist, and the rotation of the Baguazhang swimming body are all reproduced in my mind one by one.
Shang Yun Sect disciples were very strict, especially for Shang Xiaolong and Li Du, requiring them to recall and summarize after every shot. It's a very good habit to let yourself know where you're doing well, where you're not doing well, and where you can improve. Even the strengths and weaknesses of the opponent need to be analyzed, mastered, and then it can become something of its own.
When Li Du thought back to the dunk that ripped off the basket, he suddenly remembered one thing, he didn't seem to control his emotions at that time, and his murderous aura exploded, making Nash almost frightened by him!
It is not uncommon for a master of national arts to have a murderous aura, the national art style of play is aimed at killing the enemy, and it is ruthless and vicious, even if Li Du doesn't like martial arts anymore, he has fought with people countless times. He doesn't like to kill, and there are no lives in his hands, but there are not a few who are wounded or crippled in his hands. Otherwise, if he really only knows how to practice and only likes to read, how could he be listed as one of the "Shang's Shuangji" in the Chinese martial arts community in the United States!
What Li Du didn't expect was that he didn't control his emotions by chance, but he happened to meet the requirements of the inner triad, and at that moment, the whole body strength exploded, and only then did he achieve the feat of tearing off the basket.
"My control over my mind is still very weak, although I accidentally met the requirements of the inner triad and burst out with the strength of my whole body, but I still didn't control the murderous aura after that! Master said that dark energy is the control of the mind, and it seems that I still have a long way to go before dark energy! ”
When Li Du lamented that it was not easy to learn boxing, another phone rang, interrupting his thoughts. "Who, it's so late." Li Du muttered in his heart.
When he opened his eyes, Li Du found that it was already dawn! I can't help but be shocked, did I stand on the pile all night? But now he is not the slightest uncomfortable, but full of energy and comfortable! "The ancestors don't deceive me!" Li Du nodded secretly, remembering that the master had mentioned that a big boxer said: "The more you practice martial arts, the more comfortable you feel, this is the right practice, if you feel bitter, then you are practicing wrong." ”
"It seems that I have practiced correctly!" Li Du was very satisfied with standing on his stump all night, and picked up the phone to see that it was Pelinka calling.
"Hey, Robert. Why are you looking for me so early? ”
On the other side of the phone, Pelinka was very emotional and said loudly: "Lee, turn on your computer, you are on fire!" Now the whole web is full of news about you! You're waiting for me at home, I'll come over now, haha! ”
After speaking, without waiting for Li Du to answer, Pelinka hung up the phone directly. Li Du looked at his phone helplessly, this Pelinka, once he worked, he completely changed as a person.
Li Du is not going to turn on the computer, since Pelinka is coming over, just ask him directly if there is anything. And judging by his tone, it should be a good thing.
It didn't take long for Pelinka to arrive. As soon as he entered the door, he excitedly grabbed Li Du's shoulder and said, "Li, you are on fire!" You're famous! Now the national media is talking about you, and the Internet is all about you! ”
As he spoke, Pelinka took out a large stack of newspapers from his briefcase, spread them all out and put them on the floor of Li Du, pointed to each newspaper, and said very quickly: "Lee, you see, these are all heavyweight newspapers in the United States, and everyone is discussing your amazing performance last night!" You're now a celebrity in the United States! ”
Pelinka spat excitedly, while Li Du just listened quietly. From Pelinka's description, Li Du knows that because of his magical performance yesterday, the national media is now paying attention to him, especially Nash admitted that he is inferior to Li Du in an interview after the game, and there is also news that Nash has privately said that Li Du will be a nightmare for all players who play against him, including Kobe Bryant and James!
Among the active players, Kobe Bryant and James are both darlings of the media, and they are recognized as one of the most difficult stars in the league to defend. Can Li Du guard Kobe Bryant and James? This has become a point of contention in the United States.
On the other hand, there is the prediction of this year's Rookie of the Year, during the preseason, almost all the media and fans believed that this year's Rookie of the Year will be between the two future superstars of the Trail Blazers, Roy and Aldridge. But when Li Du broke out yesterday, the media's rhetoric completely changed, and they were unanimously optimistic about Li Du. The Los Angeles Times even said: "Li Du shouldn't just be fighting for the best rookie, he should have a place in the MVP list!" ”
On the Internet, the news about Li Du spread all over the United States at once. There are many masters on the Internet, and some people have posted all of Li Du's life experience, including some photos of Li Du fighting with others when he was learning boxing, and even the information that his senior brother Shang Xiaolong is also a master of national arts! Li Du had to sigh, the masters on the Internet were amazing!
In short, Li Du became popular, and overnight, he became the focus of attention in the United States! But along with it, there are also slanders and doubts. Li Du knows that the higher he holds it, the worse he falls, and what he is most concerned about now is not whether he is hot or not, but the recovery of his senior brother's injuries and how he can enter the dark energy level.
So compared to Pelinka's excitement, Li Du was very calm, and he gently patted Pelinka's back to calm down, "Robert, it's just a game." And you know, these media outlets are all gimmicks to attract audiences, they can make me an MVP superstar today, and they can devalue me penniless tomorrow, so they don't need to be so excited. ”
Pelinka was excitedly saying this, but Li Du, the client, was calmer than him, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "You kid, you don't have the impulse and excitement that a young man should have, but you are calmer than me, an agent." You don't look like a 19-year-old at all! ”
Li Du shook his head and didn't continue the topic, but asked, "Robert, we are going to fight the Warriors tonight, how do you think I should behave?" Li Du still follows the Chinese thinking and feels that he should not be too prominent. As the old Chinese saying goes, the first year a gun is fired, and the rafters rot first.
The difference in the way of thinking between Chinese and Americans is reflected, and Pelinka is baffled by Li Du's question, "What should be behaved and how?" Do your best, of course! It's best like the last one! ”
Li Du frowned, "Wouldn't this be bad?" There are too many enemies! ”
Pelinka laughed and said, "Don't worry, Lee! In the Alliance, as long as you show that you are strong and valuable, you don't need to care so much at all! This is Vanity Fair, and the people you step on can't resent you! ”
"Okay, then I'll give it my all!" Li Du clenched his fists, he was going to explode tonight!
"Wait!" Pelinka was stunned and asked, "Lee, don't you tell me that last night was not your strongest state, you didn't do your best last night?" ”
Li Du scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Nash is a player I have liked very much since I was a child, so I have released the ball that can be broken several times." I was going to make him score at least a double-double......"
"You ......" Pelinka's eyes widened, staring at Li Du in a daze, and it took a long time before he exhaled: "You kid is such a monster!" Tell me honestly, if you burst out with all your might, how far can you go? ”
Li Du thought for a while and explained: "It's hard to say what level I can reach, after all, I rarely play against others on the basketball court. But if it's one-on-one, even if it's the boss, with my full defense, he can score at most two out of 10 goals. ”
"Even Kobe Bryant ......" Pelinka was shocked in her heart, how powerful and terrifying Kobe's offensive ability is, it has been proven by a game, fighting with countless masters, and countless high scores! Especially the 81 points against the Raptors last season, which directly made everyone list Kobe's scoring ability in the top three in NBA history!
Kobe Bryant, a tough man, can't he score much under Li Du's defense? If this is the case, Li Du's strength will be too terrifying!
Thinking of this, Pelinka couldn't help but think again, so far, all the coaches who have personally played against Li Du or have personally seen Li Du play, their evaluation of Li Du is the same sentence: "He will be a nightmare for all the players who play against him!" ”
On November 1, the Lakers challenged the Golden State Warriors back-to-back.
Before the game, both the media and the audience were unanimously optimistic that the Lakers would win. The reason is very simple, the current Golden State Warriors are a team that gathers a bunch of two-way guards, can only attack, and has little to no defense. When such a team meets the Lakers and Kobe, maybe it can compete with the Lakers a little offensively, but defensively, almost everyone is a hole! Add to that the Lakers' fantastic rookie, and whoever he defends will be unlucky.
