Guoshu basketball

Chapter 8 Xiongying combined attack, the Lakers try out

After the matter here was over, Li Du returned to senior brother Shang Xiaolong's ward.Shang Xiaolong's ward is a single ward, with a rest area specially set up for family members and a lot of medical equipment to assist recovery. David Geffen Hospital is extremely thoughtful for athletes.Of course, the price is absolutely high. Shang Yun spent almost all of his life savings and sold some of his collections to make up the more than 500 million US dollars needed for the first year of treatment.

Entering the ward, Shang Xiaolong could only lie on the bed, and Shang Yun and his wife sat beside the bed.Seeing Li Du come back, Shang Yun immediately raised his head and asked, "Xiao Du, how is it?"

Shang Xiaolong also looked over, with a questioning expression in his eyes.Li Du smiled and nodded, "Master, don't worry, the Lakers will definitely call me within a few days after Kobe said it and invite me to participate in the trial training!"

Shang Yun didn't understand what trial training meant, so he just nodded slightly and said, "That's good."

Shang Xiaolong is more familiar with basketball than Shang Yun, and Li Du fell in love with basketball under his guidance.These days, knowing that he is likely to recover without any sequelae, his mood has improved a lot. Hearing Li Du's words, he finally asked aloud: "Junior brother, you said you want to participate in the Lakers' trial training." ? Are you going to play in the NBA?"

Seeing that the senior brother was finally willing to speak, Li Du felt even more happy, nodded, and told the senior brother all the things of the past two days like pouring beans into a bamboo tube.After listening, Shang Xiaolong said happily: "Okay, we will have a basketball superstar in our family in the future!"

But Shang Yun said: "Xiaolong, from now on, you must thank Xiaodu forever! He only played basketball to help you pay for your treatment. With this distraction, he may never be able to step into the dark energy level in his entire life! This is equivalent to I traded my life for your health!"

When Shang Xiaolong heard this, his mood suddenly became depressed. Yes, if he hadn’t lost the martial arts competition and suffered such a serious injury, his family would not worry about money. It's not a big boxer who has stepped into peace. Now he is playing to collect medical expenses for himself. It can be said that he is dragging him down.

Seeing that the senior brother's mood suddenly fell down, Li Du quickly explained with a smile: "Senior brother, I went to play not only for you. Don't you forget, I also like basketball since I was a child! Besides, I don't like basketball. In martial arts competitions, without actual combat, my martial arts cultivation base is at best at the peak of Ming Jin. Now I have reached the upper level of Ming Jin, let alone Dark Jin, and I am still far from the peak of Ming Jin."

Seeing that it was useless to say so, Li Du simply said: "And master, brother, I think the basketball court is the most suitable place for me to practice Chinese martial arts!"

Shang Yun frowned and looked at Li Du, and Shang Xiaolong also stared at him suspiciously.Li Du continued to explain: "In the past two days, especially during the physical test today, I found that if I use some steps and strength of Chinese martial arts in basketball games and training, I will get much higher data than normal people. Basketball It is always a sport. No matter how intense the confrontation is, it is impossible to be as dangerous as a martial arts competition. I can practice my boxing skills in the game with confidence. You need to train your mind secretly. Basketball is an exciting sport. In this process, I can also exercise my heart and mind!"

After speaking, the ward became quiet. Li Du was afraid that his master would be angry, so he didn't dare to say any more, and Shang Xiaolong and Shang Yun didn't speak.After a long silence, Shang Yun let out a heavy breath, and said something strange to Shang Xiaolong: "Xiaolong, you decide!"

This kind of nonsense is generally not understood at all, but Shang Xiaolong seems to have known what his father said a long time ago, and replied: "Of course I agree! Father, to be honest, I have planned it for a long time. Now it is You are still here, after a hundred years, if you don’t pass it on to your junior brother, I will pass it on for you!”

Hearing this, Li Du understood everything, and quickly waved his hands and said: "Master, senior brother, how can this be possible! You are from the direct line!"

Shang Xiaolong smiled, and said to Li Du: "Junior brother, what age is it now, what is the difference between direct inheritance and non-direct inheritance? Besides, I don't know if my kung fu can really recover. Now in the whole sect, only you can inherit it." We are still in the lineage of Xingyiquan."

When Li Du was still about to decline, Shang Yun shouted in a deep voice, "Li Du!"

"The disciple is here!" Li Du hurriedly listened to the master's words.

Shang Yun maintained the temperament of the old boxers who did not allow their apprentices to talk back, and said directly: "Needless to say, starting tomorrow morning, I will pass on to you the method of Xiong Ying combined attack and how to practice tiger and leopard thunder sound! You have to study hard, If you go to play basketball, you can't waste your effort!"

"Yes, master!" Li Du complied, and was very excited. He knew that the master had given all the kung fu to himself without reservation.

The most glorious era of Chinese martial arts was the turbulent years of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.Heroes come out of troubled times, and a large number of martial arts masters gathered in that era, and many of the styles of boxing that are handed down today were formally formed at that time.Shangshi Xingyi was founded by Shang Xiangyun, a great Xingyi boxing master during the Republic of China. In Xingyi boxing, if one can create a separate and systematic joint strike technique, then he can form an independent lineage and establish a sect.

Grandmaster Shang Xiangyun created the Xiongying Combined Attack technique, focusing on health preservation, so that people can enhance their physical fitness during standing exercises.Xiongying Combined Attack, also known as Xiongying Hexing, focuses on stances, intended to preserve health, rather than fighting in martial arts. It is most suitable for people like Li Du who don't like actual combat.

When the bear and the eagle attack together, the body should be calm, like a bear, and the eyes should be wide open and look forward, like an eagle about to spread its wings and take flight.Zhuangzi said: "The breath of a real person is on the heel, exhaling the old and taking in the new, the bear learns and the bird stretches." This is the essence of the Xiongying attack.It's a pity that as Shangshi Xingyi's secret kung fu, it is impossible to learn it without the hands of the master.

After Li Du learned the combination of Xiongying and Xiongying, as long as he perseveres, even if he can't enter the dark energy, his physical fitness will get better and better, and even playing two or three games in a row is not impossible!

As soon as it was dawn the next day, Li Du was called out by Shang Yun, found a secluded place, and began to teach Li Du Shang style Xiong Ying combined attack.

Two days passed like this, and on the third day Li Dugang came back from boxing practice with his master when he received a call from Pelinka. The Lakers officially invited Li Du to participate in the team's trial training!The time is two o'clock this afternoon.

Li Du bid farewell to Master, got into Pelinka's car, and drove all the way to the Staples Center.

On the way, Pelinka told Li Du: "Li, today's trial training is very important to whether you can enter the Lakers and how to enter the Lakers. You must perform well, and it is best to show your strength on both offense and defense. Don’t worry about the feelings of other players, official players are only happy to have strong teammates, those who hate you are those who can’t get into the Lakers, or even into the NBA, don’t bother with them.”

Li Du nodded heavily and said, "Robert, don't worry, I will make my opponent feel desperate!"

After entering Staples, Pelinka first took Li Du to meet with several important people. Head coach Phil Jackson and team doctor Gary Vitti stayed at the Lakers during the holidays to help Phil observe the progress of the new players. "Old fish" Fisher, and even Kwame Brown, the parallel import champion who was forcibly recalled by Phil to the team for training.

Phil Jackson and Pelinka shook hands, then turned to Li Du and said, "Mr. Li, we have read your physical test report, and I am very shocked, but basketball is not good only if you are in good health." "As he said, he glanced at Kwame Brown next to him, sighed, and then said: "After all the players arrive on the field, I will divide you into two groups for training. After the training is completed, you will continue to divide into two groups for a game. .I hope you can perform well, but Kobe rarely recommends anyone.”

Li Du smiled slightly and said, "Coach, don't worry, I won't let you down."

Phil didn't say much, nodded slightly, turned around and continued to assign today's training tasks to the coaching staff.While helping Li Du take off his coat, Pelinka said to him: "Compared with daily training, the coaches pay more attention to the performance of group confrontation. As long as you perform well today, I guarantee that your senior brother will not have to worry about medical expenses in the future." !"

Li Du didn't speak, but just nodded.He knew that this was the beginning of whether he could become a professional player, so Li Du secretly made up his mind that no matter who the opponent was this time, he would beat him!Not only to defeat, but also to directly crush them with a tyrannical attitude!
In order to get his body into shape quickly, Li Du still practiced a set of Xingyiquan and a set of Baguazhang, but he didn't shake his feet and exert force like a few days ago, creating a strong visual and auditory impact.For some things, it is enough to do it once, and it does not need to be done every time. More importantly, Li Du should save all his energy for the competition!
Not long after, people who participated in the Lakers' trial training came one after another.When the players were introduced, Li Du didn't pay attention to other people at all. In his eyes at this moment, everyone is an enemy!

The daily training is still the same, basic training such as turning back and forth, shooting in situ, catch and jump shots, etc. Phil, assistant coach Brian Shaw and others write something in the notebook from time to time.According to Li Du's guess, it should be recording the player's characteristics and statistics, so as to have a basic understanding of the player.

Li Du's turn-back running speed was still terrible, but this time it was a continuous turn-back run. In order to save energy, Li Du had already slowed down the speed, but the result was still terrible.What made Phil Jackson the happiest was Li Du's shooting percentage.Whether it's a fixed-point jumper or a catch jumper, whether it's a two-pointer or a three-pointer, Li Du hits almost every ball!

"It's a terrible shooting percentage!" Phil Jackson smiled, but he would not really regard the training results as the actual shooting percentage. Many players, especially spot-up shooters, also have extremely high shooting percentages in training. The ball must be hit, but it is completely different when it comes to the field.

"Phil, have you noticed his shot speed?" At this time, Fisher, who had been observing for a long time, said to Phil Jackson, "I watched his shot carefully just now, and I always felt that his shot speed It's too fast, it seems that it can't be much slower than Ray Allen!"

"Huh? I really didn't pay attention to this." Phil Jackson listened to what Fisher said, and focused on Li Du's shot speed. Sure enough, Li Du's shot speed was extremely fast. The ball, the ball is thrown, judging by the feeling, it is really unnecessary for Ray Allen, who claims to be the fastest shooter, to be slow!

Phil Jackson, who smiled even more, continued to add a line after Li Du's name: The shooting speed is no slower than Ray Allen!And draw a circle here.He thought in his heart: "Sure enough, the person Kobe can recommend is not ordinary. If this kid can maintain such a shooting speed in the game, as long as the shooting rate reaches 35%, we will get a big deal!"
