Chapter 94 Good things happen again and again (please recommend, please collect)

In this star-studded night, Li Du is undoubtedly the most prominent one!In this game, Li Du made 18 shots and hit 14 goals, including 9 of 9 three-pointers, 1 of 1 free throw, 8 of 3 mid-range shots, and a fatal dunk!He scored 33 points, setting the highest score in his career, and at the same time, he also won the crucial game for the team by himself!
After the game, Li Du specifically went to find O'Neal. On the court, they were hostile sides. Off the court, Li Du always liked and respected this big shark who single-handedly changed the rules of basketball in the NBA and even the world.

"Senior O'Neill!" Li Du came in front of O'Neill, and O'Neill couldn't get angry with him at the very first sentence, "Rookie Li Du, I have officially met senior! I hope senior will forgive me for my reckless behavior on the field!" , Li Du clasped his fists together and gave a Chinese fist clasping salute to O'Neill.

O'Neill has been to China several times and likes Chinese culture very much. Of course he knew what Li Du meant by clasping his fists. Fantastic rookie, you are still the first person who can surpass me in strength! If you don’t mind, please call me Shaq, friends who know me well call me that!”

"Okay, Shaq!" Li Du and O'Neal held hands together, "Shaq, you are such a super center! If I met you on the court five years ago, I would definitely avoid it!"

O'Neill held Li Du's hand and understood that Li Du was saying what he liked to hear and was more practical. He patted Li Du's shoulder lightly with his other hand: "You Chinese are very humble and polite, and so is Yao. , I really like that you are so strong and maintain a respectful attitude towards the enemy! Next time you come to Miami, brother, I will take you to play!"

After parting with O'Neal, Li Du talked with Wade for a while, and the two sides cherished each other. Wade even said that if one day Li Du didn't want to stay with the Lakers, Wade and the Heat welcome him at any time!
This night is destined to belong to Li Du!After returning to the locker room, Li Du was lifted up by everyone to celebrate like a hero, even Kobe, who has always been more serious, followed suit.

At the press conference, everyone in the Heat praised Li Du endlessly, but their mentality was different.Pat Riley praised Li Du. Apart from wanting to kill Li Du, he also hoped that one day Li Du could play for the Heat.O'Neal and Wade are completely out of friendship and appreciation. O'Neal said happily, and even said something like this: "The future of the NBA will be dominated by Li Du alone, as long as he is on which team, which team The team is the most powerful contender for the championship! He will be the next most dominant player!"

Wade was refusing rumors for Li Du: "Those who say that Li Du is not strong in scoring and has a single offensive method can shut up! Today, we are defeated by Li Du's strong scoring ability! Some people say that without him, he can attack with the ball." Ability? Yes, the current Li Du’s ability to hold the ball is indeed not enough, but Li Du has an excellent sense of the ball, and has a physical talent that makes me envious, and he works very hard! I believe that it will not be long before Li Du is not just a nightmare for opponent players , it will be a nightmare for the entire team that is against it!"

In the face of many praises, Li Du was not too excited. He was as humble as ever: "Tonight's victory is the result of our entire team and all teammates! I just followed the requirements of the coach and Kobe's boss. Luckily Yes, I did it! If everyone thinks that I scored more points today, it is actually because the boss used himself to attract the defense of the Heat, so that I had enough shooting opportunities!"

Finally, Li Du said: "Thank you for your attention. I am just a rookie and still have many shortcomings. I will continue to work hard to make up for my shortcomings and not let everyone down!"

Immediately afterwards, Li Du got a piece of happy and exciting news from Yang Yijia, a reporter from CCTV Sports Channel who had been following him all the time: Li Du's game completely ignited his reputation in China!Now no matter old fans or young fans, they are eagerly paying attention to all his news!On the Internet, Li Du's last dunk on Shaquille O'Neal has been clicked and replayed millions of times in just one hour!
Moreover, more and more people began to directly discuss Li Du's article "Inheriting Learning for the Past" that he reposted on his Facebook.The time is still short and there are no results, but it is foreseeable that more and more people will recognize and like Li Du. The Chinese culture that Li Du has always wanted to spread by himself will also be studied seriously by more young people. !
The next day, as if to suit the occasion, the Lakers officially announced that Li Du was eager to raise high medical expenses for his seriously injured relatives, and announced that they would donate 1000 million U.S. dollars to Li Du a week later!
After receiving this news, Li Du's heart was finally relieved, and the brother's treatment fee was finally collected!He hastily called his master and brothers to tell them the good news.

After Shang Yun heard the news, he was stunned for a moment, handed the phone to Shang Xiaolong, and asked the two brothers to chat, while he walked out of the hospital ward with his hands behind his back.Later, Shang Xiaolong told Li Du that he clearly felt that Shang Yun was in a good mood, and that the depression of the past six months had finally come out.

For European and American countries, Christmas is their Spring Festival and the most important festival of the year. Therefore, the league's competition system is relatively relaxed these days, and everyone is enjoying the rare festival.But for Li Du and Preti, it really didn't feel like it was a major festival.

Needless to say, Li Du grew up in the United States, but the more he lives in a foreign country, the more people cherish traditional things. Every year, the Spring Festival is the most important day for Chinese people, especially in Chinatown where Li Du grew up. , the taste of the New Year here has never faded!

The same is true for Puriti. She grew up in India, and her parents are both Hindu believers. The most important festivals of the year are Holi in February and March and Holi in September and October. Tokachi, and Diwali in November and December.

These three festivals are also like Chinese festivals, with ancient legends. Except for the Diwali Festival, Li Du did not listen to Puriti’s details, but he knew that the other two festivals all come from the ancient Indian mythological epic "Maha Bharat.

The Ten Victory Festival is to commemorate the legendary hero Rama’s victory over the great devil Ravana. The Holi Festival also originated from the Mahabharata. As for what to commemorate, Li Du is not very clear, and India is not like China. The cultural inheritance has never been cut off, and there are many things that they themselves can't quite explain.

Therefore, for Li Du and Preti, Christmas is nothing more than a day of rest. Although it is also a festival and they can feel the festive atmosphere around them, they don't pay much attention to it.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Preti formally introduced Li Du to his parents.The two sides are thousands of miles apart, so naturally they can't talk face to face, but only through online video calls.Although Priti's parents are Hindu believers, they are not rigid. After they learned that their daughter has finally found a lover, they did not object, but sincerely blessed Puriti.
