Chapter 219 Old Nelson Visits
Pelinka said that old Nelson was coming to visit him, which surprised Li Du a little, and at the same time was a little moved in his heart.He understood that when old Nelson came to visit him, he also wanted to observe whether his injury would affect his future athletic ability, but as a famous coach, it was already very rare for him to visit an injured player regardless of face!

So Li Du did not wait for Pelinka to ask, and agreed: "It is rare that Mr. Nelson has such a heart. Robert, please help me tell him that I am very honored that Mr. Nelson can visit me. Li Du is at home in Los Angeles. Sweep the couch to welcome you!"

There is no such word in English as sweeping the couch and welcoming each other, and Pelinka didn’t understand it. Li Du explained it again, so Pelinka wrote down Li Du’s words and was going to pass them on to Old Nelson.

After hanging up the phone, Li Du told his brother and Preti about the current situation.After hearing this, Shang Xiaolong slapped his thigh and said with a smile: "Junior brother, this is a good thing! It would be great if you can really go back to San Francisco! And old Nelson has always been a master of tactics. He can be called Frankenstein because of He can always invent some new tactics, and I believe he can invent a series of tactics for you, making you famous in the NBA!"

Puriti said: "Honey, we can go anywhere, as long as we are together, I am willing to go anywhere!"

Li Du shook his head and said to Preti: "But if we leave Los Angeles, your film career will be greatly affected! We have to think of a way!"

Purity held Li Du's hand affectionately, and said, "I'll be with you from now on, I'll go wherever you go, I won't act in movies anymore!"

Before Li Du could say anything, Preti leaned in Li Du's arms and continued: "You said that I am your auspicious day, I hope that I will accompany you by your side and bring you luck! Since you I was regretting the moment I got hurt, life is so short, we finally met each other, we should cherish every minute and every second we spend together!"

"I said, you are too nasty! Don't forget, I'm still here!" Shang Xiaolong yelled dissatisfied: "If you want to be affectionate, you can be as affectionate as you want at night! Senior brother, I am still single!"

When Shang Xiaolong yelled, Li Du and Purity looked at him at the same time, and laughed, Li Du said while laughing: "Don't worry, brother, you will definitely find a satisfactory sister-in-law! Otherwise, I will let Purity Let me introduce you?"

"Get out!" Shang Xiaolong scolded with a smile: "You kid, take care of yourself!"

Priti whispered from the side: "If senior brother wants to find a girlfriend, I know some nice girls, and they should be very happy to meet you, senior brother!"

"Really?" Shang Xiaolong's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he knew that Preti knew a lot of people in Hollywood, and all of them were very beautiful.

Preti promised Shang Xiaolong that he would definitely introduce beautiful girls to him.After Shang Xiaolong made such a fuss, the nasty scene of Li Du and Priti talking to each other finally passed.

What they didn't expect was that Pelinka called Li Du early the next morning, saying that he was going to the airport to pick up Old Nelson and asked Li Du and the others to prepare.

"Mr. Nelson is here so soon?" Li Du was very surprised. He only told Pelinka about this matter yesterday, but today Nelson rushed over, which made him a little flattered.

What Pelinka said next moved Li Du greatly, "Not only that! I called him yesterday afternoon, when he had just arrived in Salt Lake City, he heard that even the team was going to play against the Jazz today. I didn't even care about it, I booked a plane early this morning and rushed over here! Li, the old man values ​​you very much!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Du was moved, and at the same time, he was full of respect for the old man he didn't really know, and secretly decided that if he could really be traded to the Warriors, he would definitely play hard for the old man and follow his teachings , to repay the old man's kindness, just like he did to Kobe!
Thinking of this, Li Du called Priti and Shang Xiaolong over and asked them to lift him into the wheelchair, and then the three of them came to the gate, waiting for old Nelson to arrive.

Not long after, Pelinka's car came and stopped not far away. A white-haired, energetic old man came out of the car. He was the famous NBA coach and tactician known as Frankenstein. - Nelson.

Seeing old Nelson, Li Du hurriedly stood up with the support of Prati and Shang Xiaolong, bowed his fists and bowed in the manner of Chinese juniors meeting their elders: "Mr. Nelson, I am very honored to be here! Thank you! "

Old Nelson had been coaching the Warriors for so many years, and knew a little about Chinese customs and etiquette. He immediately understood that Li Du was greeting him with the highest Chinese etiquette. He hurriedly stepped forward, gently lifted Li Du, and said heartily : "Li, you are too polite!"

Li Du let old Nelson into the room, Preti went to make tea, and he, Shang Xiaolong and Pelinka talked with old Nelson.

After sitting down, the old Nelson said straight to the point: "Lee, I will not go around. I want to see you very much. There are two reasons. The first one must be guessed by you. I and the team management very much hope that you can I went to the Warriors to play, but you were injured. I want to confirm your situation. The second reason is that I want to hear from you about your understanding of basketball, and I can see your speed of improvement. Three years Before, you were just a rookie. Last year, you helped the team win the championship! This season, you led the Lakers to consecutive victories, and you also got very good statistics. I want to know how you understand basketball games , how could there be such a big improvement?"

Li Du was also polite, and told Nelson his point of view that basketball games are wars, life-and-death contests, and then said that he was guided by the art of war in Chinese civilization and used some of these strategies on the playing field.

When the two of them talked about it, they both felt like they met each other and hated being late!Old Nelson himself was a master tactician, and he was famous for his bold tactics in games and training, which is why he was nicknamed "Frankenstein". Hearing Li Du say that he used some concepts in Chinese art of war in games, it made him He was greatly admired and won his heart.

Li Du took war as the theory of the court, and told old Nelson theories in Chinese art of war, such as "the brave wins when he meets a narrow road", "do one thing at a time, then decline again, and three times exhaust", "avoid the truth and make nothing, and attack the west with one's voice" and other theories. Excited, Li Du's views coincide with the basketball tactical theory he has been studying for these years!

They talked all the time at night, after old Nelson had dinner at Li Du's house, he already liked and admired Li Du, but Li Du told him that these theories were researched by ancient Chinese 2000 years ago. It wasn't Li Du's own. Old Nelson decided that he must find some books on this subject to study after he went back.Of course, it is best to get Li Du's suggestion.

Finally, old Nelson said to Li Du: "Li, I finally understand that even if your athletic ability declines in the future, you will still be the master on the court! I will let you go to the Warriors at all costs!"
