The world's best combo guard

Chapter 256 250 [I am always arming myself]

Li Hao didn't know how long he slept in the barrel, but it was already very late when he woke up, and it was the old Living Buddha who woke him up.

Rubbing his bleary sleepy eyes, Li Hao's whole brain gradually became clear, "It's so cold", the hot water in the wooden bucket had already become icy cold, which made Li Hao jump out of the wooden bucket.

"how do you feel?"

The old living Buddha sat on the other side of the thatched cottage and looked at him calmly.

"what"

The Old Living Buddha's question reminded Li Hao that when he twisted his neck and simply stretched his body, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the fatigue and relaxation that had been dormant on his body before were gone, replaced by a relaxed and flexible feeling. And a feeling that can't be said yet.

"Living Buddha, I feel much better, thank you." Li Hao put on his clothes excitedly. He knew in his heart that the medicinal bath just now must have had an effect.

"Take another medicated bath before you leave, boy, remember, there is no free lunch in this world. The effect of medicated bath and your hard training are complementary. In other words, medicated bath can make your body move toward two In a completely different direction, it can make your physical fitness better and better, provided that you train hard, it can also make your physical fitness worse and worse, and you can guess the specific reason.”

Li Hao understood what the Old Living Buddha meant. Medicinal bath is a double-edged sword. If you use it well, it can help you. If you use it badly, it will harm you. The degree of this depends entirely on yourself.

"Living Buddha, don't worry, I will remember your teachings." Li Hao nodded at the old Living Buddha.

"Come and eat, you must be hungry too."

In front of the old bastard was a big bowl of rice with only a few stalks of vegetables on it.

Li Hao looked at the food prepared for him by the old living Buddha and smiled knowingly. He is no stranger to this kind of food. It was almost his must-have dinner when he was a child. Even now, Li Hao doesn't think there is anything wrong with this kind of food. Instead, he often misses this food.

"Playing basketball and practicing martial arts have the same effect. Talent is important, but attitude is equally important. Since you have chosen this path, go down steadily. The NBA is a place where the weak prey on the strong. I hope you can have your own territory when we meet next time. "The voice of the old living Buddha rang in his ears, which surprised Li Hao who was eating rice. In his impression, this was the first time that the old living Buddha cared about things other than martial arts since he was a child.

Li Hao feels that today's old living Buddha is a little abnormal, but he is still not sure where it is.

"When you leave this time, take Xiaobai with you. Only by following you will he be the real snow lion."

The old living Buddha glanced at Xiao Bai who was lying under Li Hao's feet and now rubbing Li Hao's calf affectionately and said softly.

"Leave with Xiaobai again?" Li Hao was a little surprised by the old Living Buddha's arrangement. It's not that he didn't want to take Xiaobai away, but he took Xiaobai away once two years ago. Unfortunately, Xiaobai didn't seem to like the outside world very much. Life.

"Go back after eating"

Ignoring Li Hao, the old living Buddha got up, turned and left, and walked to another thatched hut. Li Hao knew that the thatched hut was the place where the old living Buddha rested.

"It's really a strange feeling." Looking at the back of the old living Buddha, Li Hao frowned. He once again felt the strangeness of the old living Buddha today, but he couldn't remember the specific difference for the time being.

"Forget it, don't think about it if you can't remember it." Li Hao shook his head, turned to look at Xiaobai.

"Xiaobai, did you hear that? The old living Buddha hopes that you will leave with me again, are you happy?" Li Hao touched Xiaobai's head affectionately. In the days to come, he could finally live with Xiaobai again.

Xiaobai seemed to understand Li Hao's words, and leaped loudly, almost crushing Li Hao. His two front paws rested on Li Hao's thighs, and Li Hao gritted his teeth. After all, Xiaobai is not small now.

…………

For the next two or three days, Li Hao stayed in the monastery. He and Xiao Bai revisited some of the places they used to play when they were young. Wherever they went, they were full of memories!
"Junior brother, I didn't expect that your kung fu has not dropped at all these years. Not only are your movements still proficient, but you are also very powerful."

On the morning of the fourth day, Li Hao and his former seniors completed the Thousand Stick Formation that they used to do when they were young.

The martial arts skills that Li Hao showed from it also surprised and appreciated Wu De and others. Abandoned, still like them, still maintained very well.

"How can I compare with you, I only have so much left." Li Hao shook his head with a smile. He knew very well that Wu De and his brothers practiced far longer than him every day.

"Junior brother, I heard that you have embarked on the path of a professional basketball player and was selected by an NBA team. To be honest, your basketball is so good, is it related to your martial arts training since childhood?" Wu De walked to Li Hao's side, asked with a smile.

"Even you know the NBA?" Li Hao was a little stunned.

"What's the matter, it's true that we are monks, but in today's conditions, things outside, even if we don't want to know, it's hard." Wu De shook his head idly.

"Okay." Li Hao spread his hands, that is, at that time, more than 10 years ago, they really lived an isolated life.

"That's right, because I practice martial arts from a young age, my physical fitness is very good. Basketball is a sport that tests physical fitness, especially for us yellow races," Li Hao replied. .

"Junior brother, I have a set of footwork for practicing body balance, which I can teach you. I think it should be helpful for you to play basketball. Would you like to learn it?" Wu De looked at Li Hao with a smile.

"Practice balance footwork? Of course I am willing to learn." Li Hao looked at martial arts with great surprise. The combination of martial arts and basketball can exert unexpected power. Li Hao is the beneficiary of this combination, so he is very clear about the benefits of this combination. Authenticity, to be honest, such things as body balance are very important for professional players, especially defenders, when you advance or break through with the ball, when facing the opponent's mark, if you have a good Body balance, then you will easily get rid of the opponent's defense.

Li Hao didn't expect Wu De to have footwork to enhance the body's balance in his hands, so he must learn how to do it.

"Since you are willing to learn, you may need to stay for four or five days longer. This set of footwork does not contain much content, but it requires relatively high specific details. If you don't have four or five days, I am afraid it will be difficult for you to understand the essence of it."

"Stay four or five days longer? As long as you can learn this set of footwork, you can stay for an extra week." Li Hao made up his mind that he must stay and learn this set of footwork.

Li Hao knows very well that if the NBA is compared to a battlefield, then although he has made good achievements and even become a superstar, how is he compared to those old fritters who have experienced countless life and death fights?There are still many shortcomings.

On the contrary, if he can improve his equipment, it will undoubtedly increase his survival capital on the battlefield.

In Li Hao's view, enhancing the balance of the body is like strengthening equipment on the battlefield.

Therefore, he had to learn how to do it.

"Little brother, because the fundamental purpose of your learning this set of footwork is to help you improve your basketball level, so my suggestion is that we should practice on the basketball court with the basketball in our hands." Wu De gave his opinion.

"Brother Wu De, you are right, but where shall we find a basketball court in a while?" Li Hao was worried, and if it was impossible, he had to go down the mountain to the city center, where there should be a gymnasium, anyway, in this monastery Certainly not.

"Junior brother, have you forgotten where you started playing basketball when you were young?" Wu De pointed to an ordinary town at the bottom of the opposite mountain.

"Damn, why did I forget that place?" Li Hao patted the back of his head, anxiously forgetting that place. Back then, he only started playing basketball when he was in elementary school in that small town. There is a border army in the town, and there is a basketball court next to the barracks. Although it is not standard, it is better than nothing. They can go there to practice now.

"Brother Wu De, does that basketball court still exist?" Li Hao asked.

"Of course it exists, not only does it exist, the government also renovated the basketball court last year, which is much better than before"

Li Hao was overjoyed by Wu De's answer. Immediately, they walked towards the small town, and they planned to start practicing immediately.

Li Hao doesn't expect to completely master this footwork in just a few days, but he must at least comprehend the details so that he can practice slowly in the future.

“The dilapidated small stadium was renovated”

Half an hour later, when Li Hao looked at a relatively new basketball court in front of him, although it didn't look very big, he said to himself.

Next to the basketball court, the primary school still exists. From a distance, Li Hao can clearly hear the sound of reading aloud.

"Brother, have all primary schools started to teach Chinese now?" The voice of reading that Li Hao heard just now was obviously Chinese, not Tibetan at that time.

Wu De nodded his head!

During this time period, neither the students in the school nor the soldiers in the military camp are resting. They are either in class or training, so there is no one on the basketball court.

In the current era, it is not surprising that monks play basketball. After all, playing basketball is also a form of exercise.

Therefore, when Wu De and Li Hao appeared together on the basketball court to start practicing, they did not attract crowds of people coming and going. Only occasionally someone greeted Wu De. It seemed that Wu De was highly respected in this area!
"Little brother, you have to remember that the most important word in my set of footwork is the word "slow", so you have to practice and comprehend this word from the beginning to the end." After starting to practice, Wu De said.

"Slow?" Li Hao found it hard to accept, because it was quite a challenge for him. What he has been pursuing in the rhythm of playing basketball these years is the word "fast". Ending the game at an extremely fast speed, so fast has become his sense of rhythm.

But now, Wu De told him that if he wants to learn this set of footwork, he must be "slow". Li Hao thinks it is difficult, and if he does not do it well, he may lose his wife and lose his army in the end. will be completely disrupted.

"How is it? Junior brother, is there any difficulty?" Wu De saw the embarrassment on Li Hao's face.

"Senior brother, to be honest, the overall rhythm of my game is fast. Now you suddenly ask me to slow down. Not only is it difficult for me to do it, but it may also completely disrupt my rhythm," Li Hao said frankly.

"That's right, little brother, you may not understand what I mean. I don't want your overall sense of rhythm to slow down, but I hope that you will learn how to stabilize and how to be accurate in the process of natural advancement. In other words, use the absolute Your speed can indeed put more pressure on your opponent, but your ultimate goal is not to put more pressure on your opponent, but to send the ball into the basket. If you can do it quickly and steadily in the process , Accurate, isn’t this the best result?”

The meaning of Wude Li Hao heard a general idea, that is, absolute speed is dead, and the stability is more important to master and combine it, so the body balance that this set of footwork can strengthen is undoubtedly to a greater extent. This possibility of mastery and combination is guaranteed.

"Brother, I probably understand what you mean, it should be "fast and slow"" Li Hao looked at Wu De with a calm face in surprise, he didn't expect that his senior, whom he hadn't seen for many years, is so powerful now.

Basketball and the practice of monks seem to be two completely different concepts, but no one can deny that they are closely related.

Except for some people who are born with strong body balance, most acquired ways to strengthen body balance are unconventional exercise exercises.

For example, acrobats practice for decades, such as professional athletes practicing under the professional guidance of coaches.

Wu De told Li Hao that strengthening body balance through his set of footwork does not require that kind of regular and professional practice. Instead, what he pursues is a natural comprehensive feeling of the body, and to achieve this , you only need to do one action, that is to learn how the monkey walks.

That's right, it is to learn monkey walking. When dribbling with both hands, the movements of the lower body and waist should be as consistent as monkey walking. If you keep practicing like this for a period of time every day, the whole body will gradually form a sense of sight, hearing, etc. Comprehensive feeling, and at that time, his body balance was subconsciously improved.

"Junior brother, it sounds like a very mysterious process, but you have practiced martial arts, so you should be able to understand the meaning," Wu De said.

"Of course, little brother, you have to be clear. This footwork looks like monkey walking as a whole, but you need to explore the strength slowly. The best strength is when you feel that your whole body is concentrated on your heels. time, and secondly, your entire body, your hips, and the inclination angle of your waist, all of which require absolute details. These days, I will teach you one detail every day, and you can master the most important ones in about four or five days. detail"
