The 2oo9-1o season is finally over, and the Warriors have won the championship by defeating the defending champions Celtics under the leadership of Li Du and Yao Ming.

After winning the championship, there was naturally a series of celebrations, and Yao Ming originally planned to return to China later in the celebration to participate in the men's basketball world championship held in Turkey this year, but was persuaded by Li Du.

Li Du is not persuading Yao Ming not to participate in the World Championships, first, he can't be persuaded, Yao Ming himself is a basketball superstar cultivated in China, and the entire Chinese men's national basketball team basically depends on him, from the perspective of domestic officials, he must go back to participate in the game, and Yao Ming himself hopes to do something for the Chinese basketball exhibition, before his career is over, he must participate in various international competitions. Second, Li Du didn't think about letting Yao Ming not participate at all, as a Chinese who grew up in the United States but studied the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child, Li Du can understand Yao Ming better than anyone else.

Li Du wanted Yao Ming not to go back so early, to rest for a period of time, and during this time, let Yao Ming's body adjust to the best condition, and not get injured because of the perennial battle.

The NBA schedule is actually relatively intensive, and the physical confrontation in the game is quite intense, not to mention an inside player like Yao Ming, even an outside player like Curry must practice a pair of steel and iron bones, otherwise let alone showing himself on the court, even protecting himself is a problem.

Although Yao Ming only came back in February, because the Warriors played until the finals, he also played for about 4 months, and continuous strong confrontation games would have a great burden on his body, if he couldn't adjust well at this time, even if he insisted on practicing Master Hong's "Washing the Marrow Sutra" every day, it would increase the chance of injury, which is also the reason why many nBa team owners and head coaches do not want players to return to China to play in the offseason.

Yao Ming himself knows these situations, but there is no way, he has to rush back before the Chinese national team training camp and train with his teammates, so he said to Li Du: "Xiao Du, I have good intentions, but I still want to return to China as soon as possible, and I celebrate here every day, but I am very anxious." ”

Li Du shook his head and said, "No, Brother Yao, you need to stay for at least another two to three weeks!" Without waiting for Yao Ming to interject, Li Du continued: "Because I want to use the methods in the national art to help you adjust your body to the best during this time!" ”

"The method in the national arts?" Yao Ming was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Xiao Du, you said that it is a dark strength soft massage, right?" When I was injured, Master Hong often helped me relax my muscles and blood like this, but I am not injured now, and it is not good to trouble your master all the time, so forget it! ”

Li Du smiled and said, "It's not my master, it's me!" ”

"You?" Yao Ming was a little surprised, he knew that Li Du had broken through to the dark energy, but after all, he was not a martial arts practitioner, and he didn't know what the difference was, so he asked a little unconvinced: "Xiao Du, are you saying that you can also produce that kind of dark energy soft skill?" I remember that only the best can do it? Have you become the best at it? ”

Li Du laughed and said, "How is it possible! I'm just a beginner in boxing, and because I haven't fought for a long time, my current combat effectiveness is estimated to be about the same as that of a master at the peak of Ming Jin, maybe not as good! But my kung fu and physical strength are enough, and I can completely help you with the massage! ”

Hearing Li Du say this, Yao Ming slapped his thigh, "Okay, then I'll wait two more weeks and strive to compete in the World Championships in peak condition!" ”

Since the celebration of the Warriors was completely over, Yao Ming came to the Mingyue Martial Arts Hall every day, and Li Du massaged him to condition his body that was tired from the long-term battle. After each massage, Yao Ming and Li Du would hold a cup of tea and chat in the courtyard of the martial arts hall.

Of course, the content of the small talk is messy and everything, but the most common topic of conversation between the two is, of course, basketball, especially domestic basketball and this World Championships.

On this day, the two talked about this topic again, and Yao Ming asked: "Xiao Du, in fact, I think the strength of our domestic players is not bad, but I just can't understand why we haven't been able to break through the top eight in the World Series every time!" You grew up in the U.S., what do you think is the difference between us and the American players? ”

Li Du smiled casually and said, "This question is too complicated, and I don't know." I can only say how I feel, the last time I returned to my hometown, I took a general look at your training, and I think it's wrong, the domestic training method is wrong, and there is a lack of confrontation in training. And the training intensity is not enough, don't talk about others, just say the two of us, which day is not high-intensity training, and as long as you practice, it is a whole day. The last time I went back, I didn't see anyone else training at this intensity! ”

Yao Ming lowered his head and pondered for a while, then sighed: "These are all things that need to be changed slowly, it seems that our country's basketball exhibition still has a long way to go!" ”

"But ......," Li Du suddenly remembered something, "I think you can compete for a higher ranking in this World Championships, after all, many basketball stars don't participate in this competition." ”

"Who didn't attend?" Yao Ming asked, he knew that many celebrities were reluctant to participate in the World Championships, among which the United States was the most, but the overall strength of the American team was strong, even if a few more people did not participate, it didn't matter, it was still the favorite for the championship.

Li Du counted with his fingers: "Duncan, they won't talk about it, I heard that Kobe, LeBron, Chris Paul, Anthony, Dwyan, they don't all participate, this time there are only a few young people, the Thunder and the two little geniuses will participate, Ramar also said that he wants to go, the older generation seems to be Chauncey Billups is ready to participate, this time it can be said that the United States team is the weakest since O6." ”

"What about other countries?" Yao Ming continued to ask, Li Du gets along well with many nBa players, and he is much more well-informed than Yao Ming.

Li Du thought for a while and said: "I don't know much about international players, what I know is that Manu and Tony don't participate, Dirk and Steve don't participate, anyway, almost everyone who has made a name for themselves in the NBA doesn't participate." ”

Yao Ming nodded slightly and said softly, "This is really an opportunity!" But he seemed to remember something, and then sighed: "But it's not so easy, you can only do your best and listen to the destiny of heaven!" ”

Two weeks later, Yao Ming still returned to China, even though Li Du told him that his body had not recovered to the best condition, Yao Ming still left without hesitation, and he said to Li Du: "Time waits for no one, I have to fight!" ”
