Chapter 26 Borrowing
Half an hour later, the CIC King and the Madman went to attend the post-match press conference. Some reporters were already waiting outside the locker room, while others were being interviewed in the locker room.

After everyone was dressed, the staff sprayed some perfume and then opened the door of the locker room to allow some media reporters to enter.

Lin Cheng and Zhou Biao were also among them, followed by Wellington Philip and Xia Song. After coming in, they went straight to He Zhongqiu.

"Hey, guys, hello."

He Zhongqiu sat in a swivel chair with his arms and legs spread out, greeting several people.

"Zhongqiu, congratulations. You smashed the backboard in your first show. This is a huge gimmick." Zhou Biao said excitedly.

"Fortunately, I originally wanted to pull the basket down, but when I tried, I couldn't pull it down." He Zhongqiu said with a smile.

Xia Song interjected, "O'Neal once pulled down the basketball hoop, but then the league changed the structure of the hoop and the basket, so you can't pull it down. With O'Neal's huge tonnage, you can't pull it down now."

Lin Cheng said: "Zhongqiu, your performance tonight is better than the debut of the three major mobile Great Walls. Do you have anything to say?"

Xia Song secretly nudged He Zhongqiu from the side, meaning to ask him to be careful with his words and not to be too arrogant. The three mobile Great Walls are well-known in China, and if they are too arrogant, it will easily cause disgust among the fans of the three.

He Zhongqiu looked up at Xia Song, but he was always tactless and asked, "What were the statistics of their debut?"

Why are you asking this? Xia Song was so anxious that he wanted to jump up and down.

It's not too bad, Yao Ming and Da Ba both got no points in their debut. Isn't it embarrassing for them to ask this?
Lin Cheng quickly told the three people's debut statistics. He Zhongqiu's eyes widened when he heard it. He said in surprise: "Isn't Yao Ming the No. 1 pick? Why did he fail?"

"It's over."

Xia Song lamented in his heart.

Lin Cheng and Zhou Biao laughed so hard that their stomachs hurt, but they had to hold it in. They noticed that Xia Song's face was not looking good, so they whispered to each other, and then Lin Cheng said, "Brother Xia, don't worry, we won't write this part."

Xia Song breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly, "That's great, thank you very much. Zhongqiu has never accepted any interviews, has no experience, and has a straightforward personality. Please bear with me."

The two asked two more questions, and a TNT reporter who came with a photographer asked: "He, you look a little thin, why do you have so much strength?
According to a Knicks source, you performed Kung Fu during your tryout. Kung Fu with an eagle? Is it Kung Fu that gives you such great strength?

After Phillip translated, He Zhongqiu said, "You can think so."

Williams said excitedly: "I heard that Bruce Lee could kick someone more than ten meters away with one kick. Can you do it?"

Philip translated: "He said Bruce Lee could kill someone with one kick..."

He Zhongqiu shook his head and said, "I don't practice leg techniques. My leg skills are not as deep as his."

"Can you beat him?" Williams demanded.

He Zhongqiu said: "His way of practicing kung fu is more modern, focusing on fighting techniques, pursuing strength, explosive power and striking speed.

What I practice is traditional ancient martial arts, which focus on training methods. I train the fundamental things such as tendons, bones, qi and blood. Strength and speed are just by-products. We pursue different essences.

The difference between them is so obvious that even ordinary Chinese people don’t understand it, let alone you as a foreigner, so I won’t tell you.

But as for who can beat whom, he is no longer here, how can I answer you on this question?"

Philip spent a long time translating into English, but words like tendons, bones, qi and blood were still in Chinese and could not be translated into English.

Williams was confused and had to give up.

Then two more reporters came over and asked a few questions, and the interview ended.

At this time, in Houston, the Mosaic's game was over, having lost to the Clippers at home.

Yao Ming was in an average mood. He scored 16 points and 9 rebounds. His performance was okay, but not outstanding. His shooting percentage was only 55.6%.

As soon as he came off the court, he asked Colin, "Colin, is the Knicks game over?"

"Oh, Yao, your compatriot is so fierce."

感叹一句后，科林说道：“20分钟，6投4中，11罚6中，拿到14分8篮板1盖帽4失误4犯规的数据。”

"It's a great debut." Yao Ming said enviously.

Colin added, "But these are nothing. What's surprising is that he actually broke a backboard by dunking it. He is the first guy in NBA history to break a backboard in his debut. He is so awesome!" "What?"

Dayao was stunned and couldn't believe it.

……

In New York, He Zhongqiu followed the team bus back to the training base, and then walked back with Xia Song and Philip.

On the way, Philip said, "Zhongqiu, you still can't drive, right? I suggest you buy one. It's easy to learn and you can be on the road in a few days."

"car?"

He Zhongqiu's eyes lit up. Few men don't like cars, and he was no exception. He nodded quickly and said, "Buy, buy, buy. Let's buy it tomorrow."

"You just entered the NBA and don't have much money. I know Chinese people like to save money. You can just buy a used car for transportation, ranging from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars. You can save a lot of money."

At this point, Philip asked again: "By the way, is broadband installed in the house?"

"No," he said.

"You don't have a computer, either?" Philip asked.

"No." He shook his head.

Philip suggested: "It is best to get broadband and buy a laptop. Through the Internet, you can understand the world more conveniently and receive the latest information."

"it is good."

……

When He Zhongqiu returned home, he occupied two of the three rooms. There was no bed in the practice room, so Philip had to sleep on the sofa.

After making the arrangements, he went into his room to think about his next martial arts training plan.

There is another home game coming up on the 17th, and there will be two days without games in between. During these two days, he can think carefully about his future.

"It should be fine to get up at 7 o'clock, wash and go to the toilet for 15 minutes, practice the three-body posture at 7:15, and be ready for breakfast at 7:45."

He used to get up at five in the morning to practice, but now he can't do that because the NBA's work and rest schedule is not fixed, and half of the games are away. On days when there are games, he will go to bed very late, and he won't get enough rest if he gets up too early in the morning.

So now I can only concentrate on practicing Xingyiquan, and have to give up other kung fu such as Iron Shirt and Eagle Claw.

He mastered the Iron Shirt and Eagle Claw skills from childhood to adulthood during the six months he was in the juvenile detention center, practicing for at least ten hours a day. How could he have so much time now?

Now he has to spend more time on basketball training. As for Xingyiquan, it would be great if he could spare one or two hours a day on average.

Of course, the offseason also lasts three to four months. During that time, in addition to practicing basketball, you can spare more time to practice martial arts.

However, the Five Elements Boxing and Twelve Elements Boxing in Xingyiquan only have the first-level entry level. If you want to reach the level of minor success, major success, or grandmaster, even with the help of a system and even if everything goes smoothly, it will probably take one or two years.

There is another question. What if Xingyiquan cannot make his hands softer and the problem of shooting feel cannot be solved?
Eggs cannot be put in one basket, and he cannot put all his hopes on Xingyiquan.

He began to wonder if he could use other methods to solve the shooting problem if his touch really could not be improved, or could not be improved significantly.

As an inside player, hook shots and rebound shots are two techniques that don't require much touch, and these will be his main shooting methods in the future.

But now his two technical levels are too low. Both types of shooting require countless times of training to achieve a good hit rate. So are there any ways or methods to shorten the training time?

The system can correct errors, which can definitely shorten training time.

But this is not enough. Compared with other people in the NBA, he can almost be said to be a layman, so he needs to improve his strength faster.

"Martial arts and basketball are both considered sports according to the system's rules. Besides physical fitness, what else can we borrow from them?"

As he was thinking, he opened the panel and browsed his martial arts information.
