Guoshu basketball

Chapter 71
Li Du and Kidd praised each other and flattered each other. At this time, Li Du suddenly felt that the NBA and martial arts are actually similar.

The rules of martial arts are like this, you flatter me, I flatter you, everyone flatters each other, a harmonious situation is formed, and everyone can become friends!If you rely on the old to sell the old, or provoke your seniors in public, someone will come out and beat you to death!
It's the same in the NBA, except that no one will be killed here, but for players, reputation is as important as life!
Just like Li Du, he is just a rookie, and he is also a yellow man, but because he defends others so hard even on the court, he is very kind and humble to every senior and teammate when he is off the court, So up to now, many basketball celebrities appreciate him, and most of the people who have played against him also praise him.

Also a rookie, Bargnani received completely different treatment because he offended many stars when he was interviewed by reporters.That's why many stars ordered Li Du to teach Bargnani a lesson in the tone of their seniors. So until now, Bargnani has a bad reputation in the NBA, and even the head coach is shortening his playing time!

For players, having a reputation means having a high income!So everyone wants to become a football star, or even become a superstar. When they attract the attention of the audience and fans, that is when they get high income!And this principle applies not only to the NBA, but also to other industries. As long as you are a public figure, your reputation is very important!
Some people have disappeared from the public eyes because of their fame, and some have called the wind and rain since then because of their reputation.Li Du has a good reputation and a good reputation. He knows very well that this is an important reliance for him to make money in the future, and even fulfill his master's and his own wishes!

As Li Du became more and more popular in the NBA, CCTV also broadcast an exclusive interview with him.In this half-hour exclusive interview, Li Du's love for Chinese culture deeply moved the Chinese fans, and his beautiful girlfriend Priti also received wide attention.

In one passage, Li Du said that although he immigrated to the United States with his parents since he was a child, under the guidance of his master, he has been learning traditional Chinese culture and deeply loves traditional culture.This paragraph has aroused discussions among many people in China.

Some people say that now Li Du is an American by nationality, and it is a great pity that he cannot represent the Chinese team in international competitions.Immediately, some people started calling for Li Du to return to Chinese nationality.

Then someone stood up and said, Li Du is not sick, how can he give up the American citizenship that countless people desire?After that, things got messed up, and everything was said on the Internet, and it got farther and farther away.

Finally, a history professor came forward and published an article.This article did not mention Li Du from the beginning to the end, but it fully explained to everyone how the ancient Chinese treated this issue, and also expressed their approval of Li Du.

The teacher said in the article: "We have such a view in ancient China: the princes use the rites of the barbarians to treat the barbarians, and the barbarians are close to China, and the Chinese are the same. It means that even if the princes are entrusted by the emperor, if the barbarians and the barbarians are used If there is no etiquette, then treat him as Yidi. If Yidi agrees with Chinese culture, then Yidi is also Chinese!"

Next, he gave two examples: "During the Warring States period, Zhao Wuling Wang Hufu rode and shot, and he was regarded as a foreigner by the people at that time. In Liao Kingdom, which was opposed to the Northern Song Dynasty, Liao Daozong said: 'I repair cultural relics. , Binbin is not different from China', so now the Khitan nation has long been integrated into our big family of the Chinese nation."

"So, we in China have been looking at cultural identity since ancient times! As long as you identify with our culture and identify yourself as a Chinese, then he is a Chinese!"

The article was widely reprinted, causing a huge sensation and discussion.But there are always people who can’t see the goodness of others, especially there is a kind of people who, under the banner of “patriotism”, use their own narrow point of view to stand on the highest point of morality, accuse others and kidnap the public. A unified title, called "patriotic thief"!
These people said: "In the final analysis, Li Du is already a foreigner, and he will not represent his country in the World Series! If he really loves Chinese culture so much, then if he agrees with his identity as a Chinese, he should return to the Chinese nationality, fight for the country!"

This view is of course not convincing, but the most hateful thing about a "patriotic thief" is that he always occupies the highest moral point. Once there is a voice of opposition, he is immediately denounced as "unpatriotic" and helping foreigners. Talk, traitors, national traitors, etc.

Seeing the situation intensified, the professor wrote another article. In the article, he explained to everyone in detail what kind of behaviors and thoughts are patriotic, and why cultural identity is more important than nationality identity!
In this long article, the professor said: "What represents China? You love China and what do you love about China? What is China? Chinese culture is China! If you love China, you should love your own culture! You can speak Chinese , You are proud of writing Chinese characters, and you are proud of speaking standard and fluent Mandarin, this is the embodiment of true patriotism!"

At the end of the article, he appealed affectionately: "Zhang Zai, a famous Neo-Confucianist in the Song Dynasty, said that reading should be done to 'create a heart for the world, establish a life for the people, inherit the knowledge of the past, and create peace for all generations." Heart', 'establishing life for the people' and 'creating peace for the world' are not something everyone can do, and meat eaters seek it out. Personally, we think that what we should do most is to 'continue learning for the sake of the past', which is what we The responsibility of being a Chinese!"

"If you want to be patriotic, please reflect the lovely side of the Chinese people and inherit the excellent Chinese culture. So I think, in today's environment, in this era, we should calm down and reflect on ourselves."

There have been heated discussions on the Internet because of Li Du in China, and Li Du, who is far away in the United States, is also concerned about the domestic situation.

After reading the two articles written by the professor of history, Li Du couldn't calm down, so he asked his agent Pelinka to open "Facebook", which has been very popular on the American Internet in the past two years, and Immediately after opening it, two articles by that professor were reprinted.

After reprinting, Li Du published a paragraph alone, he said: "I am moved by this professor. Although I have never met him, he is already one of the people I admire most!" Finally, Li Du wrote in Chinese: "My life Wish: To continue learning for the sake of the saints!"

Soon, someone noticed Li Du's article reposted on Facebook and his last words.On December 12, after the Lakers defeated the Eagles in an away game, a reporter asked Li Du during an interview: "Li, what did you say on your Facebook? You wrote it in Chinese, although there are many People translated them into English, but you used a lot of ancient Chinese words, which are difficult to translate. Could you please explain in detail? What point do you want to express?"

Li Du thought for a while, then spread his hands helplessly, and said: "Those two articles were written by a Chinese history professor. He quoted many ancient Chinese words and deeds. If all those words were translated into English, they would be different. It's very long, so it's hard for me to explain all those stories to you now."

"The last sentence I posted by myself is called "continuing learning for the past sages" in Chinese." Li Du said "continuing the learning for the past sages" in Chinese, and then explained: "The meaning of that sentence is that I hope to serve the motherland. Those great sages who established and enriched Chinese culture have inherited their excellent culture.”

When mentioning Chinese culture, Li Du became eloquent: "My motherland, China, is an ancient country with 5000 years of civilization, of which the history that can be determined is 700 years! In these 700 years, Our civilization has never been cut off, and our cultural inheritance has continued! During these long years, many great sages have emerged, and they have established a unique civilization in China!"

Li Du said with some pride: "My name is two great poets in China's Tang Dynasty. One is Li Bai, who is called a fairy by people. The other is Du Fu, who is revered as a saint by people!"

Speaking of this, Li Du laughed and said to the reporters who interviewed him: "In the future, I will definitely talk about our Chinese culture many times. If you want to understand the meaning, you can learn about Chinese culture if you are interested. culture and history!"
