Bishop of the Devil

If the time were pushed back twenty years and cupping marks appeared on Kobe, then Richard would never ask Zhang Weiping, because at that time, cupping was very popular in sports circles around the world...

But now? ! Anyway, as far as Richard knows, no one here in the United States really does cupping.

And it seems that the only ones in the entire Trail Blazers team who know about Cupping are himself and Zhang Weiping...

If it’s not me, it must be Zhang Weiping.

Zhang Weiping was startled, even Richard knew about cupping? !

Isn't he a banana? Didn’t you say you’ve never been to China? I actually know about cupping...

For a moment, Zhang Weiping didn't know what to say. He originally thought that no one would know about this. It happened that Kobe was very tired in this series. Zhang Weiping saw that the massage by the team's masseur did not have any effect, so he simply gave Kobe a hair extension in the morning. Got the cupping...

Zhang Weiping also knew that his behavior was taboo in the sports circle!

Cupping is definitely a medical treatment. When the effect has not been recognized, it is really over the line for a teaching assistant to engage in this kind of thing privately...

At this point in time, many Americans are resistant to these mythical "Oriental secret arts", and even classify them as witchcraft...

Zhang Weiping was now afraid that Richard had the same idea.

"Richard, what about this..."

Zhang Weiping looked confused. He really didn't know how to explain to Richard. He had experienced cupping personally and the effect was quite good. Otherwise, he would not have dared to use it on Kobe.

…

Carlisle and Stevens heard the conversation between Richard and Zhang Weiping and couldn't help but look at Kobe.

The results were shocking at first glance. Most of the cupping marks on Kobe's back were covered by his jersey, but when he ran and jumped, circular blood marks were still exposed on his back.

The two of them gasped at the same time...

"Zhang, what are you doing?"

"God……"

The blood mark was actually a bit scary, and the two of them couldn't help but look at Zhang Weiping with complaining eyes...

Zhang Weiping wanted to explain, but found that he couldn't explain it at all. After all, cupping had no scientific basis to support it.

…

Richard, who was on the side, was smiling and waving his hands at Carlisle and Stevens.

"Guys, this is the magical secret of the East. Believe me, this thing is good for the players!"

"Teacher Zhang, are your skills good? As far as I know, this thing can't be pulled out casually, right?"

Having said this, Richard looked at Zhang Weiping curiously...

Upon hearing that Richard seemed to support him, Zhang Weiping immediately stopped panicking.

"I don't have to say anything about my craftsmanship. Let me tell you this. Just relying on my craftsmanship means that Lao Mei doesn't recognize this thing now. Otherwise, I can definitely open a physical therapy center here in Lao Mei..."

"This is cupping. It's normal that you don't understand it. You have a lot of knowledge!"

"Removing dampness, eliminating fatigue, smoothing Qi and blood, dredging meridians, balancing yin and yang..."

"Yin Yang, do you understand..."

"that is……"

Zhang Weiping seemed to have opened up his chat box and wanted to tell everything he knew about cupping.

Carlisle and Stevens were stunned for a while...

This is simply too mysterious. Is it really so amazing? !

Seeing that Richard kept nodding, as if he believed in this thing, the two Americans, who were born and raised and received higher education, were completely stunned at this moment...

After all, Richard is an elite who has received higher education from Purdue University. He actually believes in this kind of thing? !

…

Don't tell me, Richard really believes it...

Of course, the reason for Richard's belief is definitely not caused by narrow patriotism, but because cupping is really effective...

American flying fish Phelps received cupping treatment!

Joe Thomas, the leading tackler of the NFL's Cleveland Browns, received cupping therapy!

Many old American athletes and even some entertainment stars, such as Justin Bieber, have received cupping treatment...

And the effect is quite ideal and has been widely recognized.

There are even cases where some old American athletes buy cupping cups and do the cupping themselves...

Of course, these are not the deepest memories of Richard, after all, they did not happen in the NBA.

The cupping incident that impressed him most happened in the NBA on the last day of October 2018.

It was an ordinary day, but in the hearts of some fans, it was enough to be remembered for a lifetime.

The youngest regular season MVP in history scored 50 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists on this day!

That's right, it's Derrick Rose, the Rose of the Windy City.

It can be said that fans who like Rose are undoubtedly the happiest and luckiest fans in the world. They have witnessed the rose blooming again!

Witness the roses glowing again!

At the end of the game, after Rose's game-winning shot was completed, countless fans around the world burst into tears.

Ross himself was filled with tears. He had waited for too long!

On this day, a fan in Richard's previous life quoted Butler of the Huskies and described Ross as saying...

"Towns is the most talented, Wiggins is the most favored by God, Butler is the hardest working, and I have been all of them before!"

Simple words, but it profoundly illustrates how flawless Rose was at his peak!

No, to be precise, Rose never reached his peak...

…

While following Rose's tears, Richard also noticed the cupping marks on Rose's back.

Yes, Rose cupped before this game...

Of course, we can’t say that the reason why the roses bloomed again is because of cupping, but at least it can be seen that cupping really does no harm!

Apart from anything else, based on Rose's blooming, it is impossible for Richard to stop Zhang Weiping from cupping Kobe...

…

Seeing that Carlisle and Stevens still looked in disbelief, Richard waved and called Kobe over.

"Kobe, tell them how they feel after cupping!"

Zhang Weiping was full of pride and asked Kobe to talk about his feelings...

"Well, the effect is really good. I can obviously feel that my body has relaxed a lot, especially the shoulder blades, which are no longer as tight as before!"

Kobe was all smiles. At first Zhang Weiping said he had something good for him, but he didn’t take it seriously...

There was no pain during the cupping process, and Kobe fell asleep directly on his stomach.

When Kobe woke up and looked in the mirror and saw the blood marks on his back, he almost became paralyzed with fear...

He wondered if he had been poisoned!

Actually, when I just finished cupping, the blood marks were a bit scary...

Kobe was so frightened that he wanted to go to the emergency room, but he calmed down after Zhang Weiping persuaded him.

By the afternoon training, the effect was visible. Kobe's originally tight shoulder muscles were now relaxed a lot, and his shooting was naturally more comfortable...

At this moment, Kobe has long forgotten the blood mark that paralyzed him with fear, and is filled with joy!

This kind of black technology, or Eastern secret art, is simply amazing...

Carlisle and Stevens were stunned. It really worked? !

This incident directly impacted their worldview...

"Li, if it is really effective, why not promote it?"

"Yes, it should be promoted. The Jazz defeated their opponents 3:0. They are resting and waiting for us to challenge. In terms of physical fitness, we are at a disadvantage..."

Carlisle and Stevens said one word at a time.
