Chapter 39: The Secret of Liu Han's Body
In the early morning of August in Los Angeles, Shi Lei was awakened by the sound of the door opening, and he spent the night in the stacks of materials in the laboratory, only to lie on the table and squint for a moment at five o'clock in the morning.
"Hey, Stone, didn't you go back last night? Seriously, while the upcoming experiment on this subject is important, you also need to pay attention to your body, and I don't want you to be exhausted by this experiment. Let's go take a break today. Dr. Thomas Seidluck, who had come to the lab in the morning, said to his disciples.
"I'm sorry, Professor, I was too late to check the information last night, so I didn't go back, I've slept for a while, and it won't affect today's work." Shi Lei didn't tell his mentor about Liu Han, and he felt that it was a bad thing to involve his friends in this experiment.
"I have to say that your Chinese fighting spirit is indeed worthy of admiration, I have taught students from your country before, all very hard, but I think you have always lacked a kind of creativity, too much to listen to the teacher's advice, but you are very good, I hope you can continue to stay after graduation." Professor Thomas spoke very directly.
"That's because our ancestors taught us the etiquette of respecting teachers 2,000 years ago, and now it's probably all rooted in genes, but don't you think it's better to have such students? Sorry, Professor, I had to go out for breakfast, and I was looking for materials all night, and I'm really hungry at this point. "Shi Lei is different from ordinary international students in that he will often refute some of the professor's words about China, but fortunately, Professor Thomas is a very enlightened gentleman, but he feels that he has learned a lot about China in the exchange with Shi Lei.
"Haha, I see, okay, I learned a few more. Stone, go rest today, I'll leave for England tomorrow to attend an international academic conference, which will take about fifteen days, so I can postpone the experiment a little bit and take my time. Professor Thomas looked at Shi Lei, whose eyes were bloodshot, and said.
"Okay, Professor, then I'll take a day off today, thank you." Shi Lei also wanted to take this opportunity to take a closer look at Liu Han, although he didn't want to involve Liu Han in this experiment, he was really curious about the "secret" of Liu Han's body.
Liu Han's training in the training camp has entered a stage of rapid progress, his passing and breakthrough have gradually formed his own style, and his shooting ability is also very good in the sense of running, so coupled with the gradual improvement of passing and breakthrough, Liu Han began to play in the afternoon match.
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Shi Lei came to the UCLA basketball training hall, and he was stopped by the security guard when he was about to enter the stadium.
Just as Shi Lei was about to leave, he met Li Rui who walked out of the training hall and smoked.
"Coach Li, it's me, Shi Lei. It's been a long time since I saw you, I heard that your wife gave birth to twins, congratulations. Shi Lei first congratulated Li Rui.
"Oh, it's Xiaoshi, thank you, I heard that you are studying for a doctorate, it's amazing, how is your study, are you tired? You're here to find Xiao Liu, right? Li Rui learned from Liu Han that Shi Lei had begun to study for a doctorate.
"It's okay, I feel a lot busier than before when I got a doctorate, so it's a pity that I missed Xiao Liu's NCAA finals, but I think I should tell you something, it's about Xiao Liu's body." Shi Lei planned to tell Li Rui first about his guess about Liu Han's talent.
"Oh, what's wrong with Xiao Liu's body? Any questions? Li Rui heard Shi Lei say that Liu Han's body began to be a little nervous, he knew that Shi Lei was studying medicine, for fear that Shi Lei would see that something was wrong with Liu Han's body.
"It's not easy to talk here, I think let's find a quiet place to talk." Shi Lei felt that it was best for one less person to know about Liu Han's body.
"Well, let's go, just as I'm going to come out for a cigarette, let's go walk in the little garden behind the arena for a while."
Shi Lei, who came to the small garden behind the arena, said to Li Rui: "Coach Li, I know that Xiao Liu only started basketball training a year ago, right?" My mentor recently has a scientific research project, which is about neuronal memory and biological body inertial memory, I thought of Xiao Liu when I checked the information, I think Xiao Liu's body should have a muscle memory that is different from ordinary people, he can quickly adjust the muscles of the body to adapt to the training after receiving training, and maintain the muscle state obtained after this training. But I'm still not sure, and I don't know if Xiao Liu's ability is a talent or a disease, and whether it will affect his later life. ”
"Well, you're saying that Xiao Liu was able to learn basketball so quickly because he was different from others, right? So how can we know that Xiao Liu's ability is not a disease? Li Rui cares about Liu Han very much, and after a year of living together, he not only treats Liu Han as an ordinary friend, but treats him like a family member.
"I don't have any clue about how to test it yet, but I want to do an experiment on Xiao Liu first to see if he really has this ability to learn quickly, and as for whether he is sick, he probably needs to do some physical examination on Xiao Liu. The experiment I came up with was to expose Xiao Liu to a different sport than basketball, and he had never been exposed to before, such as table tennis or badminton, if he could learn some basic movements in a short period of time, it would show that Xiao Liu really had this ability. ”
"Well, what you said is good, I think you should try it, it's best to be able to give Xiao Liu a good physical examination, seriously, I don't want anything to happen to him." Li Rui agreed with Shi Lei's proposal, and he hoped that Liu Han would not have an accident.
"Well, well, do you think that's okay? I'm going to find a venue or something, you'd better take Liu Han to take a day or two out of it, let's do this experiment as soon as possible, and I don't think I'll tell anyone else for the time being, it's better that only the two of us know. Shi Lei is actually quite concerned about Liu Han.
"Yes, you're right, it's true that you can't tell anyone else about this yet. Then I'll take Xiao Liu to you tomorrow, is one day enough? ”
"Well, it should be about the same, preferably once tomorrow and then again in a week, so it should be pretty much the same."
Just as Liu Han was still training with a group of peers in the stadium, Shi Lei and Li Rui arranged everything for Liu Han.
The next day, Li Rui, who asked Abdul-Jabbar to ask for leave for himself and Liu Han, took Liu Han, who was still ignorant, to Shi Lei's laboratory, there was a table tennis table in Shi Lei's laboratory, which was used by the people in the laboratory for simple physical exercise, and there were not many people in Shi Lei's laboratory, and it happened to be a weekend, and the tutor was also on a business trip, so Shi Lei could rest assured and boldly conduct some tests on Liu Han in the laboratory.
"Uncle Li, Brother Lei, didn't we go to the hospital today? How did you get here? Liu Han asked Shi Lei and Li Rui, who were a little mysterious.
"It's okay, Xiao Liu, just ask your brother Lei to give you a physical examination, and then let him teach you something new." Shi Lei's laboratory has a fairly complete set of various instruments, which can conduct some tests on Liu Han's body.
"Xiao Liu, you have to answer truthfully if I ask next, do you know?" Shi Lei told Liu Han.
"Have you ever had any illnesses before? Have you ever been to the hospital? Were there any peculiar phenomena when you were a child? ”
"Oh, I used to get sick very rarely, I never went to the hospital, I didn't even go to the hospital when my grandmother died, I was stupid when I was a kid, I couldn't speak until I was five years old, and I don't remember anything about my childhood, I remember the earliest thing when I was eight years old. What are you asking for, Brother Lei? ”
"It's nothing, I just want to know if you used to be in good health. Have you learned any other skills before? Like a carpenter, or how fast do you learn while you're working? ”
"I've always been in good health, I haven't even had a cold, and my grandmother said that I was born a farmer because I learned to do farm work much faster than other children. Skill? Does throwing stones count? When I herd sheep, I have to take care of the head sheep, throw stones and hit wherever I want, saying that if I hit the horns, I will never hit the sheep's belly. Liu Han didn't find any bad intentions in Shi Lei's eyes, but he just felt that the questions asked by Shi Lei were so strange.
Hearing Liu Han's words, Li Rui and Shi Lei glanced at each other, and they both felt that Liu Han's situation should be similar to what Shi Lei guessed.
In the following time, Liu Han followed Shi Lei to learn table tennis for more than two hours, Shi Lei received professional table tennis training when he was a child, and later gave up because of poor health, in this era, cultural and entertainment life is not as developed as in later generations, many children are spent most of their leisure time in front of the table tennis table when they are young, two bare and skinless worn-out rackets, a cement table tennis table, put a few bricks, five or six children can spend an afternoon happily.
Although Liu Han seemed clumsy when he received Shi Lei's table tennis training at the beginning, after Shi Lei's simple training, he was able to fight against Shi Lei. At first, he was not very proficient, but after two hours, Liu Han was already able to catch any ball without spinning from Shi Lei, no matter how tricky the position of the ball was.
"Coach Li, it's basically certain that Xiao Liu does have that ability, but I'm still a little curious about Xiao Liu's memory when he was a child, he said that he only started remembering things when he was eight years old, which is not normal." Shi Lei can basically confirm that Liu Han does have muscle memory that is different from ordinary people.
"Then there is no way to check it now, to be honest, if a talent like Xiao Liu is real, it is very unusual, and he will have a very big advantage in any kind of sports. I don't want anything to happen to such a genius. ”
"I can do some physical routine data checks here, but there is really nothing I can do about brain memory, and now I can only determine whether Xiao Liu's body is normal, and there are not too many detection methods for brain memory."
"Brother Lei, Uncle Li, what are you talking about? What's wrong with my body? I think it's good, it's nothing, right? Liu Han heard Shi Lei and Li Rui's words, and he didn't feel that there was something wrong with his body now.
"Then check it first, just make sure that Xiao Liu's body is not abnormal, as for the rest, let's talk about it later, as long as Xiao Liu's body has no major defects, the rest is not too important." After Shi Lei finished speaking, he took Liu Han to do a series of physical examinations, and the data were normal.
Li Rui, who learned that Liu Han's body was not abnormal, breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, as long as he was sure that Xiao Liu's body had no major problems now.
