Chapter 3 Can I Become a Professional Footballer?

Doctor Kretto is also considered to have done his best, and the doctor who took over Shang Xiaolong is a doctor named Gray? Waiti's white doctor, he is one of the leading experts in the treatment of neurological injuries in all of California, and indeed in the whole of the United States. After carefully studying Shang Xiaolong's injuries www.biquge.info the first conversation, Li Du remembered this bald white man forever, and he asked Shang Yun and Li Du, "How far do you want him to recover?" ”

Li Du immediately blurted out: "Of course it's the best, like if you haven't been injured!" ”

Doctor Gray ignored Li Du, looked at Shang Yun, and asked again, "Mr. Shang, are you sure you want the patient to recover to that extent?" ”

Shang Yun nodded slightly, looked directly into Dr. Gray's eyes, and asked, "Doctor, is there any hope?" ”

Seeing that they were sure, Dr. Gray sighed and said, "There is hope!" But ......"

Shang Yun and Li Du glanced at each other, their eyes were full of excitement and joy, Shang Yun said, "Doctor, please tell me in detail, but what?" ”

Dr. Gray shook his head and said, "But there is not much hope, and the cost of treatment is high, and it must be continued for many years!" ”

Shang Yun's heart moved, and he asked, "Doctor, how many years will it take?" How much does it cost per year? ”

Gray stretched out four fingers and said, "It will take about four million dollars a year, and as for how many years it will take, it depends on the patient's recovery, but according to my estimate, it will not be less than three years!" ”

Four million dollars a year, at least three years, that is, at least 12 million dollars! For Shang Yun and Li Du, this number is really unbearable! Although Shang Yun is a well-known Xingyi boxing master among Chinese Americans, boxing can't be eaten, he teaches boxing for a living, although his income is good, but he can't come up with so much money!

Seeing Shang Yun and Li Du stunned, Doctor Gray smiled helplessly and said, "You don't have to be like this, let's do this, let the patient receive some treatment here first, I can guarantee that within half a year, he will be able to walk on the ground, and there is no difference between him and a normal person on the surface!" ”

"Alas!" Shang Yun sighed heavily, "That's all it can be." ”

After coming out of Dr. Gray's office, Shang Yun continued to take care of Shang Xiaolong, Li Du was extremely depressed, said hello to Master, walked out of the ward, and wanted to go outside to relax.

David Geffen Hospital is one of the largest general hospitals in the United States, and one of the most famous is their treatment of sports injuries, and many sports stars come here for treatment and recuperation during the off-season, so there are all kinds of sports venues and facilities here, and Li Du was shocked by the facilities here when he came out of the ward.

He looked forward to it: "If Senior Brother gets the best treatment here, and Master also knows how to heal, maybe Senior Brother can really recover!" ”

Walking and walking, Li Du came to the edge of a basketball court. It's an open-air basketball court with basketballs all around it, and the net seems to be new, making you want to play a sport just by looking at it.

For Li Du, who grew up in the United States, basketball is naturally no stranger, almost every school has its own basketball team and special basketball court, and even some streets and communities have their own basketball courts. In this country, if you don't know how to play basketball, it's almost the same as an alien!

Li Du naturally likes basketball, but he, like his senior brother, puts most of his energy on the cultivation of Xingyi Boxing and Bagua Boxing, and he just likes basketball, and does not get professional guidance and practice. Fortunately, Guoshu is the most important way to exercise the control of the body, and he still has no problem with the basic skills of basketball.

When he came to the basketball court, Li Du grabbed a basketball at random, slapped it casually, and in the sound of "bang bang" dribbling, he recalled that when he first came into contact with basketball, his senior brother also taught him how to dribble and shoot. At that time, he was still very young, and he still felt very warm in his heart when he watched his senior brother boasting about his favorite stars. But now, the senior brother who took him to play together, was punished by the master to stand on the pile together, practiced martial arts together, and played basketball together can only lie on the hospital bed, and it is likely that he will never be able to practice boxing again in this life!

Thinking of this, Li Du grabbed the basketball casually and threw it at the basket. The sound of "brushing" the basketball hollow into the net used to be so beautiful, but now no matter how beautiful the sound is, Li Du doesn't have the heart to listen to it. He just recalls the shooting that his brother taught him, and recalls the joy of living with his brother when he was a teenager.

The continuous shooting of "brush, brush, brush" made the basketball court resound with a wonderful music that every basketball lover never gets tired of hearing.

Li Du, who was caught in his memories, inevitably remembered the martial arts competition that caused his senior brother to be seriously injured, remembered the Baji Boxing known as "Wen has Tai Chi to secure the world, and Wu has eight extremes to determine the world", and even remembered the person who gave a heavy hand to his senior brother! Kill him! This is the biggest thought in Li Du's heart!

The killing intent was pervasive, Li Du stopped shooting, he began to sprint, stepped heavily on the floor, jumped high, grabbed the basketball with both hands, and smashed it to the basket hard! At this moment, Li Du regarded the basket as the master of Bajiquan, the enemy of his life!

The sound of "clang" was endless, the basket also made a "squeak" moan, and the basket made of steel bars could not withstand Li Du's crazy destruction.

Li Du didn't realize that his performance had been seen by a group of people.

"Lamar, what do you think of that kid outside?" A tall, muscular black man with knife-like features asked the man next to him. This man is none other than NBA superstar, the most feared scorer among active players, Kobe Bryant? Bryant. He scored 81 points against the Raptors on January 22 this year, becoming the second-highest score in NBA history in a single game, and it was also his god game.

However, in the playoffs, the Lakers still lost to the Nash-led Suns and were blocked out of the Western Conference semifinals. Taking advantage of the offseason, Bryant accepted the team doctor Gary? On the advice of Viti, knee surgery was performed. Now he's recuperating and hopefully he'll be able to recover perfectly before the new season comes. At the same time, as the undisputed leader of the Lakers, he is also trying to figure out how to make the Lakers stronger! Although last season Zen master Phil? Jackson returned to the Lakers, and with the gradual maturity of Odom and others, the Lakers entered the playoffs, but Kobe Bryant was not reconciled, his goal was always one, the championship! Lift the O'Brien Cup! Lift the MVP trophy in the finals!

Just now, Kobe Bryant, who was in recuperation, was alarmed by the sound of a basketball, and Ramal, who came to visit him? Odom kept looking at Li Du who was shooting and dunking on the basketball court by himself by the window, Kobe was surprised to find that although that person was not an NBA player, he was no less physical than any NBA player.

Odom naturally knew what the boss meant, and he smiled honestly, "I think he's very good, I don't know if he's an NBA player, but with such skills, if he really plays in the league, I can't be impressed!" Boss, do you want me to ask? ”

Kobe Bryant thought for a while, reached out to help Odom stand up, and said, "Let's go, let's go and see together, and try him by the way." There are a lot of people in the league who are good offensively, but not necessarily defensively, and the people we need are the championship puzzle pieces! If you don't defend, it's not worth bothering about him. ”

"Yes." Odom walked towards the basketball court while helping Kobe Bryant, and at the same time glanced at Li Du, who was still dunking frantically on the basketball court, and secretly thought: "Boy, behave well!" If the boss takes a fancy to you, then your luck has come! ”

Kobe Bryant's knee surgery had a great impact on him, and now he can only walk slowly when others are on crutches or when they come to the basketball court, Li Du has stopped dunking, he is holding the basketball with one hand, trying to calm his mind.

Hearing footsteps behind him, the alert Li Du immediately turned to face the comer.

"Huh? Bryant? Of course Li Du knows Kobe, this black man is his brother's favorite basketball superstar, and even Li Du has always liked Kobe, but Li Du likes many NBA superstars in addition to Kobe. And after many years of practicing martial arts and being familiar with the classics, Li Du's control of his mind is not bad, and he will not go crazy when he sees an idol like ordinary people.

Bryant smiled and said, "You know me? Then it seems that you also like basketball. "It's true that people who don't like basketball probably won't know him.

Li Du had now calmed down, so he nodded politely, "Mr. Bryant, Mr. Odom, hello." ”

Kobe Bryant was not polite, and said directly: "We saw you playing basketball upstairs just now, and you played well." Are you a professional footballer? ”

Li Du smiled bitterly and shook his head, joking, if he was a professional player, would Master still need to worry about his senior brother's medical expenses!

In fact, Li Du doesn't know that although the income of NBA players is not bad, especially the main players on the team, whose salaries are at least several million dollars, there are also many people who do not have a high income, and even some professional players do not have enough income to support their families! This is the way this world is, there will always be only a few people with a real high income, and only those who excel in an industry can get a high income.

Kobe and Odom looked at each other, Kobe smiled, and then asked Li Du, "Do you want to be an NBA player?" ”

Li Du immediately responded: "Of course I want to!" After speaking, he asked hesitantly: "Mr. Bryant, I, can I?" ”

Kobe Bryant shook his finger and said, "It's not up to me to decide whether you can be a member of the NBA, it's up to you!" After saying that, nodding to Odom, Odom walked to the side of the court and began to take off his coat and simply warm up.

Kobe Bryant pointed at Odom and said to Li Du: "If you can beat him, I will help you enter the NBA and become a member of the Lakers." What do you think? ”

Li Du's heart moved, and he blurted out: "Is what you said true?" ”
