Guoshu basketball

Chapter 21 The first post-match press conference
As the core of a team, Nash is very competent, he took all the faults on himself, "You are right, Lee is a strong and terrible player, you can't treat him as a rookie, but should be a A future superstar! He did a great job defending tonight and completely limited my play. Also, Lee doesn't know how to defend, let's not forget his 4-for-4 three-pointers, and the horrifying dunk!"

The TNT reporter immediately asked: "Steve, are you saying that you are afraid of players like Li Du?"

Nash glanced at the reporter, and then said with a smile: "Yes, I have nothing to do with Li. I have to admit, he is stronger than me! Fortunately, there is only one Li Du in this world!" The implication is that, Nash recognized Li Du's strength, but it was delusional for others to want to defend him like Li Du restricted him!
On the Suns side, everyone answered a few questions casually, then hurried back to the hotel to rest.The Lakers are different here. Although they will go to Oakland to play the Golden State Warriors back-to-back the next day, they finally avenged last season. Everyone is happy!Moreover, it is very close from Los Angeles to Oakland, and it only takes about 5 hours by car. If you take the team plane, you will arrive in one or two hours.So the Lakers players were very excited. Odom and the others even clamored to go to nightclubs to drink at night.

At the press conference, Zen master briefly summed up the game: "Our defense did a good job and limited the Suns' offense to less than 100 points. This is why we won today. The Suns are a very strong team. , they attack fast, sharp, we did a good job today, so we won."

The reporters raised their hands to ask questions. Zen master picked a local media in Los Angeles. The reporter asked, "Phil, you also said that the Lakers won the Suns tonight because of their defense. So today the Lakers won the game?" Is the biggest hero of the game the Chinese rookie named Li Du?"

The Zen master smiled and shook his head, and said, "The hero of tonight's victory is unity! We were united and defended hard, and we won the final victory."

Knowing that he accidentally made a slip of the tongue, the reporter quickly turned to ask: "Excuse me, what do you think of this Chinese rookie? In the preseason, his performance was not satisfactory. Is it because he broke out suddenly today, or is it something else?" Have a deep meaning?"

Zen master nodded and smiled at him, and then replied: "There is no doubt that Li is the strongest rookie I have ever seen, and he will become an important member of our team. In the previous game, I deliberately restricted him. Li is very strong. , we all like this young man very much.”

Kobe was also asked the same question. What Kobe said was: "Actually, this is not Li's strongest state. Today he was too concerned about my feelings and didn't let go! I believe that if Li enters his strongest state If he does, he will be a nightmare for all the players who play against him! By the way, my knee can recover so quickly, thanks to the help of Master Li, I am very happy to play with him!"

When it finally came time to interview Li Du, everyone raised their hands to ask questions.Long before participating in the press conference, Kobe told Li Du that it is very skillful to choose who to ask questions. The first choice must be those well-known and influential media, and then the local media, and the others are free.

Li Du's first choice was a reporter from ESPN. ESPN and TNT are the two largest live sports TV companies in the United States, and this game happened to be broadcast live on ESPN, so Li Du was the first to choose him.The reporter asked Li Du: "Hello, Li. First of all, I would like to congratulate you. Before tonight, some people called you the worst rookie of the Lakers in ten years, but today you conquered everyone with your actions. I The question is, tonight you made Nash barely play, how did you do that?"

Li Du responded politely: "Thank you for your congratulations, Mr. Reporter. Nash is a very strong and extremely smart player. It is really not easy to defend him. Fortunately, I did it. I just work hard to complete the coach and It's just a task assigned to me by the boss."

Li Du's official clichés couldn't confuse the reporter. He then said: "When every team faces the Suns, the first choice is to limit Nash, but no one has ever done it. You did it tonight. Please tell me more about it." May I?"

The reporter insisted on asking some practical questions. Li Du looked at Kobe and the coach, and saw that they were also watching a show, so he said directly: "I can do it because I practiced a kind of training in China since I was a child." Kung fu, this kind of kung fu has unleashed my potential and made my body reach a good level in all aspects."

The TNT reporter immediately asked: "What kind of magical kung fu is this? Please tell us in detail."

Li Du said with a wry smile: "English vocabulary has no nouns for this kind of kung fu. In our Chinese, this kind of kung fu is called Guoshu. You can understand it as a kung fu that truly inherits the essence of Chinese culture. It can be called traditional Chinese kung fu." As for the details, there is not enough time, there are many kinds of martial arts, just like the vast sea!"

Next, the reporter of the "Los Angeles Times" asked: "Excuse me, besides physical improvement, what is the effect of learning this kind of kung fu? You must know that Nash cannot be prevented just by being strong. "

"Indeed, Nash is very powerful." Li Du first praised his opponent, and then explained: "The biggest effect of learning Chinese martial arts on the court is that I can perceive the opponent's movements, and then my body can act naturally. Reaction. In martial arts, knowing how your opponent will attack you is the most basic training. Once you make a wrong judgment, you will be seriously injured or even die. I defend him by sensing Nash’s movements.”

Li Du's words caused a huge commotion. The reporters never knew that such kung fu existed in the world.

At this time, a man of yellow race stood up without waiting for the staff's prompt, and asked in Japanese: "The Chinese martial arts that Mr. Li said is known to many people in Japan. You like to talk big, and many of your so-called martial arts masters have been defeated by karate masters. May I ask, is your martial arts really so amazing? If so, why hasn't any so-called martial arts master appeared in the league until now? "

Li Du knew what the Japanese was talking about through an interpreter, so he sneered and responded: "Mr. I still remember that the Americans once said that if you don’t speak English, go back to your hometown. Now I give this sentence to you, and hope you can learn from it in your future work.”

Li Du's words caused a burst of laughter, and at the same time won the approval of the vast majority of people present.Then, Li Du responded: "As far as I know, Japanese martial arts are also learned from China. Your karate was originally called Tangshou, which means martial arts passed down from China. In 1945, Japanese martial arts master Funakoshi Yoshitoshi Martial artists such as Jane officially changed the name of Tangshou to Karate. What I said is recorded in the history of Japanese martial arts. Those who learn karate not only inherit his martial arts, but also inherit his spirit!"

This passage made even the Japanese reporter's face turn red and then pale. Li Du did not criticize or belittle karate, but praised Funakoshi Yoshijin as a great martial arts master. In the end, he said that the reporter in front of him only Learned the martial arts of karate, but did not inherit the spirit of Master Funakoshi Yoshijin.

In the end, Li Du said: "Every country used to have some bad ethos. We cannot blame this. As future generations, we should have a kind of warmth and respect for history. What do you think? As for why there are no masters of Chinese martial arts In the league, although I can't be regarded as a master, don't I just appear in the league now?"

The Japanese reporter blushed for a while, finally he sighed, bowed seriously to Li Du, and said in English: "Mr. Li Du, I apologize to you for what I said before! You are right, it is me It’s too narrow. I believe that you will not only become a superstar, but you will also become a grandmaster in martial arts!"

Li Du smiled, walked down the stage, helped him up with his own hands, and gave him a fistful: "Thanks for the compliment!"

The press conference is over here, and the favorability of all the participating reporters for Li Du has risen again!Just now they all thought that there would be another farce between China and Japan, but Li Du unexpectedly turned this farce into a scene full of warmth and respect in a way that convinced the other party.

Amid the enthusiastic cheers and applause from everyone, Li Du, Kobe Bryant, Zen Master and others left the press conference and returned to the Lakers locker room, where their teammates were still waiting for them.

Since he had to play the Warriors back-to-back the next day, Kobe rejected the suggestion of Odom and others to continue to go to the nightclub to party. Li Du didn't like the atmosphere of that place, so he took Kobe's car home.

Li Du now lives not far from the Staples Center, a small two-story building with a garden in front of the door and a courtyard in the back, which looks like a warm home.Pelinka bought it for Li Du according to Li Du's request, and it is not expensive, 85 US dollars.In Los Angeles, such a house can only be bought for $85, which is considered very cheap.

However, Li Du still felt that the house was too big. He grew up in the martial arts gym with his master's family. He was used to eating and living together as a family. Now, his master and his wife have been taking care of his brothers in David Geffen Hospital for many years. , living alone in the house, I always feel empty in my heart.

On the way, Kobe once asked Li Du, is Chinese martial arts really so amazing?Kobe still can't believe that a kind of kung fu can improve a person's physical fitness to such a powerful level.

Li Du didn't know how to say it. Guoshu is indeed amazing, but the cultivation of Guoshu is probably the most difficult of all sports.You need to be familiar with and control every muscle of your own, and then you must be able to control your pores and stand up your fur.This is barely the threshold for entering Chinese martial arts!But it is easy to control the muscles, but it is too difficult to control the pores of the body, and there may not be anyone in 1 people who can learn it.Otherwise, how could masters of martial arts be so rare!
