Guoshu basketball

Chapter 77

"Well, the kindness of dripping water will be repaid by the spring! I understand!" Yao Ming patted Li Du lightly, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Xiao Li, I am a few years older than you, and I entered the league a few years earlier than you Thanks to you for thinking highly of me and calling me big brother, I just said a few words with the cheek."

Yao Ming said this very politely, Li Du quickly cupped his hands and said, "Brother Yao, tell me!"

Sighing, Yao Ming said slowly: "The NBA is actually a very big circle of fame and fortune. Fame and profit are completely linked! This is true for individuals, and so is the team! No matter how great a player is, he is only a member of the team. It’s just a chess piece. Most people in the NBA value profit, and everything is a business! Anyone can be traded, even me! So, you can do your best to Kobe and the Lakers in order to repay your favor, but don’t Think how much the Lakers will have deep feelings for you, the team and the players are different!"

After listening to Yao Ming's words, Li Du didn't say anything, and nodded silently. He grew up in the United States and followed the NBA for so many years under the leadership of his seniors. He understood what Yao Ming said, but he just entered the league now, especially his It was only with the help of Kobe that he became a member of the Lakers. It is really difficult for him to prepare for being traded now.

After thinking for a while, Li Du raised his head and smiled at Yao Ming, and said, "Thank you, Brother Yao, I figured it out. I'm only in my first year now, so the trade has nothing to do with me for the time being, and I don't need to pay special attention to it." , as long as you play well and show your best side!"

"Yes! That's it!" Yao Ming patted the table lightly, "We are players, we just need to play well! Let the team management and coaches worry about other things!"

Speaking of this, Li Du suddenly thought of a question: "Brother Yao, what do you think I should do now to quickly improve my role on the court?"

Yao Ming frowned, shook his head and said, "I don't know either. In fact, as a rookie, your performance is amazing enough! You don't know it yet, in order to prevent you from using the outside core of the team like you did at the beginning of the season. The blockade caused the team to lose, and many teams have deployed a second outside core! You have just entered the league, and you have changed many teams in the league, which is already very remarkable!"

"It's a pity!" Yao Ming sighed, "It's a pity that we are not in the same position, otherwise I would have thought of asking you for a defensive technique!"

Li Du smiled wryly, and said, "Brother Yao, now we are discussing my problem, why are you involved again!"

Yao Ming laughed, "Let's chat, we can say anything, to be honest, I have never seen a player like you, a rookie, the defense is already at the historical level."

"Forget it, no matter how good the defense is, you can only defend against one person. There are five people on the basketball court!" Li Du shook his head, but he still expressed his experience in defending the inside line: "Inside line defense is actually very difficult. It is similar to the two armies fighting head-on in ancient times, every inch of land must be fought, it is a confrontation of strength!"

Yao Ming nodded thoughtfully, and Li Du continued: "In the final analysis, all inside footsteps have only two purposes. One is to forcefully squeeze the opponent away to gain space for the front attack; the other is to avoid the opponent. Attack space from the side or rear. As long as we can grasp this point, the space in the interior line is not large, and with Yao brother, your height and strength, guarding the interior line will not be a problem at all!"

Hearing what Li Du said, Yao Ming smiled wryly and said, "The truth is true, but who can guarantee to defend every time! Especially in the confrontation of strength, O'Neill's level of strength is simply unsolvable!"

"That's true!" Li Du also had to admit that O'Neill's terrifying power has far surpassed that of normal people. After thinking about Yao Ming's current power, Li Du said to Yao Ming: "Brother Yao, in fact, your current power It is also very strong, but I am worried that your flexibility will be affected!"

"It has already been affected, and it's not too small!" Yao Ming said helplessly: "I was too thin when I first entered the league, and I was not good at confrontation. Stand still! But the price is that because of the weight gain, my flexibility is far from what it used to be, and I can't do a lot of footwork now!"

Li Du's heart moved, and he suggested to Yao Ming: "Brother Yao, I have a way to strengthen your waist and legs, and not only will it not affect your flexibility, but it can improve it!"

Yao Ming's eyes lit up, and he asked, "What can I do? Do you mean to practice martial arts like you do?"

Li Du nodded and said: "Yes! But it's not the martial arts routines in China, but the martial arts that only kill the enemy and don't perform! I'll ask my master and let him see what kind of martial arts you are suitable for learning!"

After waving his hands, Yao Ming sighed and said to Li Du, "No need, Xiao Li, I appreciate your kindness! I am in the current situation, and I can no longer learn Chinese martial arts."

"Brother Yao..." Li Dugang wanted to say something more, but Yao Ming interrupted him, explaining: "I have also learned a little bit about martial arts. The power of martial arts is similar to many sports. The power is generated from the feet and rebounded by kicking the ground. Strength, increase your own strength. How strong is the strength of kicking the ground under the feet, and the strength that can be exerted is as strong as possible!"

Li Du was stunned for a moment. This is indeed the basic theory of martial arts power. I didn't expect Yao Ming to know it too!Yao Ming continued: "But all of this has a premise! The power of rebound is transmitted to the body through the feet. If this power increases its own explosive power, it will also place a huge burden on the body. Once the body is loaded If you don't, you'll get hurt!"

Comparing his body with a wry smile, Yao Ming sighed: "My current height and weight have already brought a huge burden to my legs! So I can't learn Chinese martial arts. If I practice like that for a long time, my legs may be damaged." Something went wrong!"

With this explanation, Li Du understood Yao Ming's current predicament, but unfortunately, he didn't know what to do.But Yao Ming was more optimistic. He said: "Xiao Li, you don't have to worry. I understand my body. As long as I don't get injured, I can maintain my competitive state for a long time!"

On this day, Li Du and Yao Ming chatted a lot, and Li Du didn't return to the hotel until very late.Although they are only meeting for the first time, they seem to have known each other for a long time; although they are actually rivals on the court, they are very frank and kind to each other.

Perhaps only by leaving the motherland and truly being in a foreign country can we truly feel the excitement and joy of "meeting an old friend in a foreign country"!
