Chapter 249 Nickname, don't need to be true

Before the Dallas All-Star Game in the 2009-10 season, Li Du and Yao Ming led the Cavaliers to give all teams in the league an extreme scare.The team has more than 40 assists, what does this mean?It shows that the Warriors' scoring in the whole game basically comes from assists. Through teamwork, they make the game easier!
Originally, the champions of the East and West this season are relatively obvious. The West is naturally the Lakers, and the East is likely to be the Cavaliers or Celtics. Now that the Warriors have returned to this game through Yao Ming, people will rank the Warriors as the champions of the West. One of the contenders, even one of the contenders for the championship!

This still only considers the Warriors' offense, not the defense.In the game between the Warriors and the Clippers, because everyone didn't watch the score at the end, they played normally, so after the game, the score of the two teams turned out to be 127 to 79!

Looking at this score, it is no longer like a game between two NBA teams, but more like a professional team vs an amateur team.The Warriors' offense is sharp and fast, and they mainly score with fast breaks and three-pointers. They scored 127 points, which is still acceptable.

The Warriors have Li Du and Yao Ming guarding one outside and one inside, and the defense is also top-notch, but the Clippers only scored 79 points. Even if the Clippers are a weak team, they will not be so embarrassing!And judging from the post-match video analysis, the Clippers actually played fairly well in this game. Apart from being suppressed by the Warriors at the beginning and Baron Davis made two mistakes, the subsequent games were due to a large point difference. , The Clippers players are no longer under pressure, and they are in pretty good condition.

The Clippers, who are in good form, played this kind of game against the Warriors who Yao Ming just returned, which can only show how terrible the Warriors are!
This time, the reporters and commentators of TNT and ESPN couldn't sit still anymore. They began to discuss why the Warriors became so terrible under the leadership of Li Du and Yao Ming?Why is Li Du and Yao Ming playing together for the first time, but they have such a tacit understanding and trust in each other?The cooperation between the Chinese and the Chinese is so tacit, is there something special about their culture and philosophy?

Li Du doesn't care about these speculations and discussions. After the game against the Clippers, he went to Dallas to participate in the All-Star Weekend.

This All-Star Weekend, Li Du declined the invitation to continue to participate in the three-point contest. Even in the All-Star Game, he just played with other people and did not enter the real game state at all. In the end, he only scored 7 points and 3 points. assists.

Li Du was in poor form in the All-Star Game. Many people believed that he had been going all out for half a season to compete against the strong teams in the West, which caused his physical fatigue.In fact, only Yao Ming, who is also Chinese, knows that Li Du's problem is fundamentally psychological.

Because when the All-Star Competition was held, it happened to be during the Chinese New Year.For the Chinese, the half month of Chinese New Year is a time for rest and reunion with family members. However, Li Du could not stay with Master and Wife at home, so he could only take his wife to Dallas. uncomfortable.Li Du also complained to Yao Ming in private, saying that he hoped that the All-Star Weekend would be over soon so that he could go back to San Francisco to spend the New Year with his master's family.

It's a pity that people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes. In the end, Li Du could only participate in all the activities of the Complete Celebrity Weekend, and cooperated with Nike to attend his sneaker launch conference, and then hurried home to spend time with his master and wife. The fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

In fact, Li Du's exclusive boots have been designed long ago, but what to name his boots has always been a headache for Nike.At the beginning, someone suggested that if Li Du won the title of "Fantastic Rookie" in his rookie season, it would be better to name Li Du's boots "Magic Series". "this phrase.

It was also suggested that all those who have played against Li Du in the game call him a "devil" and "a nightmare for opponents", so the "devil series" can be used.As for the evil meaning of this word, the United States is a country that flaunts its individuality, so don't worry about these small things.

When Li Du and Yao Ming formed the Ssangyong combination, which set off a storm of emotions among Chinese people all over the world, someone proposed to name Li Du's combat boots "Dragon Series". The Chinese call themselves the descendants of the dragon. Du's identity as a Chinese is also of great benefit to occupying the Chinese market.

Everyone insisted on their own opinions, and no one could convince anyone.In the end, it was Pelinka who told Li Du about this and asked Li Du to name it himself. After thinking about it for a long time, Li Du named his sneakers "Reality Series".This is a dream of Li Du, and even all martial arts practitioners, that is to achieve the realm of "real man".

"Zhuangzi" once described the real person. The demeanor of walking against the wind and enjoying the world was once the dream of all Chinese people.In martial arts, there is also the kung fu of "a real person sucks at his heels, spits out the old and absorbs the new", which means that the feet seem to be connected to the ground when walking, and breathing seems to be carried out through the feet. In fact, it is Kung Fu practice. After reaching a certain height, I have a deep understanding of the connection between myself and the whole world.

Li Du hopes that one day he can reach the realm of a "true person", ride the wind and control the spirit, and travel freely in the world.

So from then on, Li Du added another title, "True Man". Those who are familiar with him, no matter Americans or Chinese, began to call him "True Man Li".

Li Du knew in his heart that everyone was praising him, so he was opposed to other people's shouting at the beginning.But it’s useless, it doesn’t matter whether it’s in China or abroad, whether it’s in ancient times or modern times, it’s the same when people call it a nickname. It’s useless for the parties to object.For example, during the period of the Republic of China, everyone honored Sun Lutang as "Tiger Head Shaobao, the number one master in the world". Duke Fuquan also declined, but in the end everyone still called him that.

After returning to San Francisco from Dallas, on the first day of training, Yao Ming called Li Du when they met: "Really Li, this All-Star Game is not a small achievement!"

Li Du smiled wryly: "Brother Yao, don't mock me. Others don't know, but you don't know, real person? I absolutely dare not take this title!"

Yao Ming smiled and walked towards the court with his arms around Li Du, and said, "It doesn't matter, the nickname, why is it so serious! I heard from Master Hong that your patriarch who is still in the same line of style, form and meaning, had iron-footed Buddha back then." The nickname! The patriarchs have become Buddhas and patriarchs, so it’s no big deal for you.”

"How dare I compare with the Patriarch!" Li Du shrank his head. "The Patriarch is a great master who has achieved the ultimate Tao. How can I compare with him!"

"Haha!" Yao Ming laughed and patted Li Du, "Didn't I say it, a nickname doesn't have to be taken too seriously. If you really feel ashamed, let's make a name for yourself in the basketball world!"
