NBA: No. 1 Forward

Came to Yao Restaurant.

Although the Chinese food of Yao Restaurant is more inclined to Shanghai cuisine and sweeter, compared with other Chinese restaurants, Yao Restaurant is relatively authentic in terms of Chinese food.

"Do you have a confirmed agent?"

The two chatted while eating, Yao Ming asked curiously.

"No, not sure yet. I have some considerations. Does Brother Yao understand this?" Lian Dao replied.

"I don't know much about this aspect. My agent is Bill. You can find out."

Seeing that Lian Dao wanted to recommend him, Yao Ming turned around and opened his bag, found a business card, and handed it to Lian Dao.

Lian Dao hurriedly took it.

Bill Duffy.

Looking at the name on the business card, Lian Dao knew something about it.

Bill Duffy's foothold among agents is integrity, and his reputation in the circle is still very good.

He also has many big-name players under his hands, Yao Ming and Nash are all signed under his hands.

"Thank you Brother Yao, I will consider it!"

"I'm just helping him to make a publicity, and you can use it as a reference." Yao Ming said with a smile.

Yao Ming's personality is relatively stable, and he was able to recommend his agent to Lian Dao, which is affirmation of this person's character.

Lian Dao nodded.

In fact, Lian Dao also had considerations for his agent. Apart from seeing his master, one of the purposes of his trip to New York was to confirm his agent.

In his mind, he has always had the best candidate as a manager, but he doesn't know if she is willing or not.

...

After meeting with Lian Dao, Lian Dao did not return to Los Angeles.

Instead, they flew directly to New York.

He brought some things to visit his master Guo Nianguo.

Walking in Chinatown, looking at the familiar shops and Chinese characters on both sides, if Lian Dao didn't know clearly that this is New York, he would have thought he had returned to China.

The flow of people here is very large, and the streets are bustling and lively.

Lian Dao walked to the door of a traditional Chinese medicine clinic in an antique building.

Tianyi Pavilion.

This is the medical clinic opened by Lian Dao's master, Guo Nianguo. As the vice president of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, he opened this medical clinic mainly for the pleasure of his elderly.

"Third senior brother."

After entering, I saw the third senior brother busy in the store, and heard someone calling "senior brother", so I looked back.

"Little brother, why are you here? Come in quickly. Xiao Gu, take care of me." The third senior brother saw that it was Lian Dao, and hurriedly welcomed Lian Dao into the back hall, while ordering the apprentices outside.

"Third senior brother, don't bother, is master here?" Lian Dao asked hastily.

"Master is drinking tea in the backyard, I'll take you there."

"You don't need senior brother, I'll just go by myself, you can be busy, by the way, I brought you a small gift at this time." Lian Dao is also very familiar with this place, and the front hall is indeed a bit busy, so he proposed to go by himself.

"That's fine, you can go by yourself, thank you for the gift, senior brother will go to work first." Seeing this, the third senior brother greeted him and returned to the front hall.

Proficiency came to the back garden, and I saw the master sitting on the rocking chair, drinking tea, listening to the play, very comfortable.

"Master!" Lian Dao hurried forward to pay respects to Guo Nianguo.

"A Dao is here, get up, get up, you know the red tape is annoying the master the most." Guo Nianguo was also very happy to see his little apprentice.

Speaking of which, Lian Dao has not been here for almost two years.

"Thank you master, master, I miss you so much! Look, this is a gift for you." Lian Dao took advantage of the situation and got up directly, talking to Guo Nianguo in a friendly tone.

"Well, if you miss me, can you not come to see me for two years?" Guo Nianguo really knows his little apprentice very well.

"Hey hey, master, isn't it, after the senior year of high school, do you want to choose a university?

And I joined the basketball team in college, and I won the championship. "Lian Dao is like a child who wants to be praised by his parents.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like the two lives.

In fact, this is Lian Dao's true character, but before this he has covered a mask, and he will only uncover the mask in front of real relatives.

In this world, apart from blood relatives, Guo Nianguo is the closest person to Lian Dao.

In the first two years of high school, Lian Dao lived longer in Tianyi Hall than at home.

"Well, I saw it. Your senior sister originally wanted to go to watch the finals live, but she couldn't make it because of temporary business." Guo Nianguo took a sip of tea and continued.

"Good job, just let these foreign devils take a look, don't think they are the only ones who are good at basketball. How is your kung fu, how is your progress?" Guo Nianguo was also very happy when he thought that his little apprentice was famous in the United States, but then he suddenly became concerned about Lian Dao martial arts progress.

"Come on, my father and I, give me a hand!"

"Master, why don't you forget it, you see I'm not wearing exercise clothes either."

Hearing Guo Nianguo's offer to "help", Lian Dao's scalp felt numb for a while.

Nothing else, just one-sided abuse.

"It's okay, your senior sister has just customized a practice suit according to your figure, it's in the room before you."

These words directly blocked Lian Dao's escape route, and he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go.

After changing into the practice clothes, there was a friendly exchange of "martial arts" with Guo Nianguo.

"ah!"

"lighter!"

"my waist!"

...

"You boy, you must have not worked hard to stand up. Have you been neglected recently?" After a friendly exchange, Guo Nianguo said, looking at Lian Dao lying on the ground, with a bit of hatred for iron.

"No, master, it's just that I forgot recently. Before that, I always insisted on standing upright." Lian Dao replied weakly, feeling the pain all over his body.

"Okay, don't pretend to be dead, get up, sit down, and drink tea with the master."

Lian Dao straightened up like a carp, and stood up. He suddenly found that although he was in pain all over after being taught by his master this time, he did feel an indescribable comfort.

Of course, he's not some masochist. It's just a physical sensation!

It's like the feeling after the muscles and bones are stretched and the muscles are fully relaxed.

"Feel the changes in your body?" Guo Nianguo said angrily after taking a sip of tea and seeing Lian Dao's reminiscing expression.

"Enen, what's the matter, master!" Lian Dao asked curiously, nodding his head like a chicken pecking at rice.

"You train and compete for a long time, and your body is constantly in a tense state. The bones and muscles of your body have not been completely relaxed at all. There is nothing in a short period of time. If this is the case for several years, then your body will leave hidden wounds. I don’t need to say more about the accumulation, do I?”

Guo Nianguo also patiently explained to his little apprentice.

Lian Dao nodded, as the hidden injuries accumulated, they would explode at one point, resulting in injuries.

The most typical examples are Derrick Rose, Grant Hill, etc. They are all known for their speed and training intensity.

Derrick Rose's high-speed disguise, Grant Hill's fastest first step, they were used to using their physical talents to tear apart the defense and score at the beginning.

However, the long-term high-intensity breakthrough has long left hidden injuries in their bodies. The frenzied training in the off-season has not recovered their bodies, resulting in a rapid increase in the risk of injuries.

Of course, Yao Ming is also a typical example.

There are also players who pay attention to physical maintenance, and James is one of them. He spends a lot of money every season on physical recovery. Moreover, he bought a liquid nitrogen freezer worth millions of dollars to speed up the relief of muscle fatigue.

This is actually the same as practicing martial arts. Lian Dao and the others practiced martial arts with medicinal baths, food supplements, and acupuncture and moxibustion massage.

These are also the keys to removing hidden wounds from the body.

Especially medicinal baths and food tonics, the consumption of precious medicinal materials is also an astronomical figure.

This means that Guo Nianguo and Lian Dao's family background is good, and Lian Dao's father, Lian Guochang, also supports Lian Dao's martial arts practice.

In fact, this is one of the reasons why the ancestors said that the poor are rich in martial arts.
