Chapter 79 The End of the Texas Trip
In the live broadcast hall of CCTV, Director Yu Jia and Director Zhang commented on the match between the two Chinese who shined brilliantly in the NBA.

Director Zhang said more about Yao Ming: "In this game, Yao Ming showed absolute dominance in the interior, just like O'Neal said, after him, the only center who can be called a dominance, Only Yao Ming! Today Yao Ming scored 26 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocked shots. The insiders of the Lakers, whether it was Kwame Brown or the rising 'Little Shark' Bynum, were suppressed in front of Yao Ming. Unfortunately, , The Rockets' perimeter, especially the guards, still lack enough ability to help Yao Ming and let the team win."

Yu Jia said more about Li Du: "Li Du, this young man who is only under 20 years old, uses his magical defense and long-range shots, and his unpredictable way of running, let us know why he He was called a miraculous rookie by American media reporters. I believe the audience friends have also seen that under Li Du's defense, Luther Hyde, who averaged 15.6 points per game this season, didn't even have a chance to shoot today! Li Du's long-range shooting ability is too strong, almost every ball must be hit! Let us look forward to what kind of magical performance this magical rookie will bring us in the next game!"

The Chinese fans were very excited. On the one hand, they finally saw the scene of the two Chinese confronting each other on the NBA, the highest stage of basketball in the world. On the other hand, they finally saw how Li Du suppressed his opponent in the game. Li Du How does the running position use martial arts footwork to get rid of others!

On the Internet, some netizens who said they were proficient in martial arts immediately pointed out that the footwork that Li Du stepped out with his front foot and followed with his back foot in the competition was exactly the movement of Xingyiquan, and that kind of running with a twist The movement of turning, the footwork that can change the body shape and direction at any time, are typical Cheng Pai gossip!

Others analyzed that Li Du's shooting arc is very flat, and his shooting posture is somewhat different from normal shooting movements. It is very similar to the "marking" technique mentioned in martial arts. No wonder Li Du's shooting is so accurate. The speed is so fast, and it also maintains such a stable hit rate!

On the Internet, it seems that everyone agrees that Li Du has such a miraculous performance on the basketball court because he learned martial arts and became a master of martial arts!
But this point of view was immediately opposed by some senior fans. They believed that the study of martial arts did help Li Du quickly gain a foothold in the NBA, but the most fundamental thing is that Li Du worked hard enough!There are so many people learning martial arts in the world, why is he the only one who can stand on the NBA court?

Through his own efforts, Li Du combined martial arts and basketball very well. On the surface, he used things from martial arts, but in fact all his movements were within the rules of basketball!

In short, Li Du is truly recognized and loved by Chinese fans.What followed was a lot of attention.For this, CCTV Sports Channel even rebroadcasted an interview with Li Du.

The Chinese fans are excited, but Li Du has no energy to think about other things for the time being. After the Rockets, the Lakers will play the Mavericks back-to-back next!The Mavericks are in very good form and personnel this year, and now they have occupied the first place in the league. Nowitzki's high shot and high arc shooting, which are almost impossible to defend, are the guarantee for the Mavericks to win!

Maybe it was too tired, all the Lakers players fell asleep after getting on the plane.Only the Zen Master stayed awake. He lowered his head in deep thought, and occasionally raised his head to look at the sleeping team members.In the end, the Zen Master set his sights on Kobe and Li Du and stared at them for a long time.

In the game against the Mavericks, the entire Lakers team was not in good shape, including Li Du's state. Playing back-to-back games, especially when facing the league's top team, is very important to the energy and physical strength of every player. A great test.

Due to the poor state of the Lakers, there is no suspense in losing this game.In the second half of the third quarter, the Mavericks' lead had already reached 20 points!Zen Master had to replace the main players, and all the last quarters were completed by the substitutes.

91 to 110, the Lakers lost the game with the Mavericks.After a day's rest, the Lakers finally won the game against the Warriors. This time, Li Du still defended Baron Davis so hard as last time.

In such a game, Li Du's key defense on the court showed unparalleled power!

At this time, everyone in the league understood that Li Du's efficiency has never decreased, and his role on the field has never changed. It's just that when facing a team with many people who can organize an attack, it seems that he can't kill one person. It's not that important.

When it comes to the so-called "true superstar stage" playoffs, Li Du's power will be huge and crucial!Just like what all the stars who played against him said, Li Du is a nightmare for all players who played against him!

After the end of the consecutive road trip, the Lakers finally ushered in the rest time.In the next game, they will sit at home and face the Bulls who are no longer strong. The time is four days later!In other words, Li Du and the others can finally rest for three days!
Although it was a rest time, Li Du didn't really get a rest.As soon as he got home, Pelinka came looking for him.And at home, Preti also brought a piece of news to Li Du.

As Li Du's agent, Pelinka was not less stressed than Li Du some time ago when everyone thought that Li Du's actual role was not that great!Many brands that wanted to ask Li Du to endorse them hesitated.

Now Li Du used a trip to Texas to prove himself again in the most difficult schedule. He is still that amazing rookie. His strength is unquestionable. Coupled with the attention of Chinese fans, Li Du's worth is even higher. , Those brand companies who hesitated before also approached Pelinka one after another.

This is business, this is reality!Pelinka secretly lamented that when Li Du just made his debut in the NBA, some brand companies actually contacted him, hoping that Li Du could speak for them, but the endorsement fee was not high.Everyone thinks that a rookie is not a superstar and has no such important commercial value.

But Pelinka believes that Li Du will definitely become a superstar, and with his identity as a Chinese-American, his commercial value will be immeasurable!So Pelinka has been dragging these commercial endorsements and never mentioning them to Li Du.He knew that as long as Li Du could play a good game and stand out in the game, these small endorsement contracts would not be worth mentioning at all.
