Chapter 282: : [Professor Li, Taoist heir]

The news that Li Zhen's Madison Garden debuted with a triple-double was not only spread wildly in New York State, but also caused intense discussion in the west. The focus of discussion is Los Angeles and Memphis, because both teams are inextricably linked to Li Zhen.
Fans of these two teams are constantly thinking about whether we are losing money in this transaction.
Coupled with Thomas's arrogant speech after the game, it caused a storm.
Kupchak had to come out to extinguish the fire, he emphasized: "Nothing Isaiah Thomas said is meaningful. If the Knicks can get the championship before the Lakers, I can willingly kneel in front of him and shout Long live Thomas , Thomas is invincible! In fact, he has long been the laughing stock of nba. He is always good at making himself a target of ridicule, as if he offended Jordan when playing, and eventually could not even enter the Olympic roster. "
Jerry West also jumped out to appease the fans: "What a game proves nothing? The Knicks have zero chance of entering the playoffs this season, and our draft picks are still valuable."
The remarks of the two people temporarily calmed down the restlessness of the fans of the two teams.
Having said that, in fact, the Lakers fans are more willing to accept the fact that Li Zhen triple-doubled than the Grizzlies fans. After all, they have formed a deep relationship with Li Zhen. They hope that Li Zhen has a bright future in the Knicks. Moreover, the Lakers did not hold the Knicks draft picks, the Knicks' record does not affect their interests. The most important thing is that after Paul Gasol joined the FireWire, the Lakers have achieved two consecutive victories. He seamlessly integrated into the Lakers' triangle offense system. The Zen Master praised him. Although Kobe Bryant was not happy that Li Zhen was being traded, he was full of praise for Gasol. Mobile terminal::::
As for Isaiah Thomas saying that the Knicks won the championship before the Lakers, no one has ever taken it seriously. Major sports channels even regard it as an annual joke.
Interestingly, after the remarks of the two general managers were returned to New York, Isaiah Thomas, who was suffocated in the court, immediately opened his fire.
"I do have a bad relationship with Jordan, and I did not enter the dream team. But this does not affect me to get the NBA championship and the finals mvp before Jordan. He was pressed under me for many years, as if I now have Bruce Lee, and he can only hold Adam Morrison to cry. "
"Jerry West was blinded by his past trading results. He neither understands the playoffs nor the probability. If the Knicks have a zero probability of entering the playoffs, then the Grizzlies get the top spot next year. The probability of signing is also zero. "
Unlike Isaiah Thomas, who is busy with the two general managers of the Lakers and Grizzlies.
Li Zhen has a headache for the news report.
New York media has a long history of maliciousness on Stephen Marbury. From noon on that day, there have been news that Stephen Marbury has arbitrarily separated reporters and pulled Li Zhen away. He also speculated maliciously, saying that Marbury deliberately took Li Zhen out because he was jealous of Li Zhen's popularity. He also said that Marbury could not stand the increasingly popular Li Zhen. The war has officially started.
All of a sudden, the otherwise calm Knicks locker room was rendered into a buzzing battlefield by the media.
There are even some media that have publicly launched the 'Transaction Marbury' action to cheer Li Zhen.
When Li Zhen saw these news during the lunch break, the whole person was dumbfounded.
He finally understands why many teams are infighting. If the media is so flamboyant, no misunderstandings will become misunderstandings.
Li Zhen does not want to stage a tragedy like the ok combination.
So, when he received a call from his father. He decided to invite Marbury to dinner at his house.
After all, as a courtesy, Marbury asked him to dance, and he should also return Marbury once.
Marbury readily agreed with Li Zhen's invitation. In addition, the staff was specially asked to buy gifts for Li Zhen's parents, which was very generous.
Li Zhen ’s home was a distance away from Manhattan, and the car drove for almost an hour and a half before arriving.
When Marbury ’s lengthened Lincoln arrived in the rich area of ​​Lettington on Long Island, Marbury could n’t help but sigh:
When I was very young, I dreamed of being born in such an environment. Here are the best educational resources, the most A good community package. Unlike us, the surroundings of our growth are always accompanied by panic groans and sewage spreading from the sewers. "
Li Zhen patted his shoulder: "At least you let your child out of that environment, just like my father did. You all used your own hands and wisdom to change the destiny of the family."
This sentence won Marbury's heart, and he nodded.
This is a very fulfilling thing for him, he saves his family from poverty.
At the same time, he also developed a favorable opinion of Li Zhen's father.
However, when he and Li Zhen walked into the yard, they discovered that Li Zhen ’s father, a professor at Syracuse University, was performing a mysterious ritual: he placed chicken, fish, and some fruits on a table , With some spices in it, there is a pot on the ground, and the pot is on fire.
He knelt on the ground and chanted words to the east.
Li Zhen looked at his father awkwardly. He didn't know how to explain this to Marbury.
But it seems that Marbury is very interested.
Afterwards, Li Zhen was also dragged to her knees to worship ... Today is Grandpa Li Zhen's birthday.
When Professor Li told Marbury, Marbury even said that he should sacrifice to the ancestors of Li, and he bowed respectfully.
"We Chinese people value family continuity. We always remember where we came from. When we are successful and confused, we will sacrifice to our ancestors. The ancestors will look at us in the sky and protect us." Professor Li followed Marbury chatted.
Marbury was extremely interested in it.
This made Li Zhen very surprised. He originally wanted to talk to Marbury about the next game.
But now it seems that Marbury is more interested in the Eastern worship ceremony. When Li Zhen came back upstairs and took a shower, Professor Li had already talked to Marbury about Taoist philosophy.
"... Our Taoist social philosophy believes that society is only a process of heaven, not the purpose itself ..."
Who would have thought that a mathematician and an African American who had no learning and no skills could talk about Taoist philosophy with great interest.
Li Zhen sat next to it and listened for a while. Professor Li deserved to be a teacher, and he was simple and easy to understand, so that he could teach the majestic master style: "... how to achieve inner peace, be kind, frugal, and not the world first. The meaning is kind, good , Do n’t fight for fame ... "
Marbury listened, thoughtfully. He said, "I can do it kindly and kindly. But without competing for fame and profit, how can we avoid it in a highly competitive society?"
Professor Li patted his shoulder and said slowly: "Our Taoism is not passive, it does not encourage people not to compete. It has its own methodology. When dealing with people in the world, we pay attention to retreat, avoidance, softness, convergence, simplicity, Clumsy. Retreat is not radical, and retreat is advancing and defending is the attack. Avoiding is not fighting, avoiding its edge, protecting itself. Softness is to soften the toughness, not to touch the hard. Convergence refers to internalization, restraint, and unassuming. , Simple, natural and harmonious life. Clumsy does not mean clumsy, but refers to a kind of big wisdom if not stupid, not clever. Remembering these will be of great benefit to future life. "
Marbury suddenly understood.
There was a sense of epiphany on his face that 'listening to the words of a king is better than reading a decade'.
In the past two years, Marbury has been extremely painful. Since he entered the league, he is like a straight steel knife. He is brilliant and talented. Therefore, he is dissatisfied that Garnett ’s salary is higher than him. He is unhappy that others grab his shot. He claims to be the first point guard in the world. He is incompatible with all the people who are unhappy with him. Those media who provoke him are regarded as hatred. Kou ... He was able to do his own thing before, and Zhang Yang was also sought after.
But now, with his irreversible decline in his competitive state, his strength has become the source of letting others call out. He has been unable to lead the team to a brilliant record alone, and his teammates are also separated from Germany because of his too strong style, so the coach cannot continue to tolerate his uniqueness, and fans and the media will also catch his flaws and continue to attack.
He was in a huge public opinion field in New York, and his every move was magnified infinitely.
In the past year, he has always felt that he is going to be swallowed by a huge vortex. He can't struggle, and every time he resists, he will get more damage.
His spirit will even collapse.
Now, Professor Li, like a kind father, brings him inner peace and tells him a brand new philosophy.
It turned out to be ...
"I teach you a set of vomiting methods. Next time when you are upset, you will meditate, take a deep breath, slowly spit out, and meditate ... the world is so beautiful, but I am so irritable, so ... not good, not good!"
Professor Li revealed the secret of his decompression every time he was beaten by his wife.
Li Zhen next to him looked stunned.
What surprised him even more was that Marbury was so serious and very careful ... How could an African-American meditate cross-legged?
"It's really much better."
"Can I come over frequently to study with you in the future?"
Marbury's face showed a thirsty for knowledge, because he realized that Western philosophy could not help himself, and he hoped to find inner peace and meaning of life through Eastern philosophy.
Professor Li nodded slowly, still a group of masters: "Okay."
Li Zhen got up and left helplessly. He felt he needed to have a good chat with Marbury later. He must tell Marbury: My dad is not a heir to Taoist thought at all. He just learned a lot from my mom, and he came up with a way to comfort himself. What kind of meditation is a lie, and any philosophy is a lie, and there is a saying that the world is so beautiful is to watch the Chinese TV drama Wulin Gaiden. He is the ear of the and his wife is in strict control. Then I thought of a set of things to comfort myself.
"I think your father is a great thinker and philosopher. After talking to him, I feel much better. I no longer complain about the world. I can even forgive those journalists who slander me for beating Larry Brown.
On the way back, Marbury said to Li Zhen very seriously. He felt that he had benefited greatly, and his entire soul was sublimated. He felt that he had found a way out of the prison, and his depressed mood was effectively relieved. Even today, he didn't take antidepressants.
amount….
Li Zhen looked at the pious Marbury. He suddenly didn't know what to say.
Say that my dad is completely an experience from my mom? His heavens are moms? What the mother said, he can only be gentle and frugal?
This is not so good.
Since Marbury really relieved his own pain, even if it is right.
Who can imagine a Baba ear using his beating experience to solve the plight of an nba superstar?
"Well, just be happy."
Li Zhen lay back in silence, and the neon lights of New York City still flickered.
