Rio de Janeiro, West District, Capital No. 7 Middle School.
The Seventh Middle School is a public school transformed from a large church school. Since it is located in the capital, the school subsidies are sufficient, so the teaching facilities are very good.
The school has a large football field covered with grass. Surrounding the football field is a track and field track of finely crushed cinders that has been paved. The track and field track is surrounded by other sports facilities such as basketball courts, volleyball courts, and table tennis tables.
"Students, His Majesty the King said: Sports are the source of all life."
On the football field, the physical education teacher Stephen said impassionedly to the students in front of him.
"A healthy body is a person's greatest asset.
So if you want to be strong, exercise! If you want to be healthy, exercise! Human health and strength depend not only on diet, but also on exercise.
As usual today, we are divided into two groups, boys and girls, to start the 400-meter and 800-meter running training, and then start today's basketball training and volleyball training.
In May, the Capital Education Bureau will hold the first middle school sports meeting. This is very important. Now cheer me up. Like other club teachers, I will select the best among you to participate in the competition and bring honor to the school."

The physical education teacher shouted loudly and loudly: "Before running, do some stretching exercises to prevent muscle strain during exercise."
"Okay, everyone is in your position and let's start the warm-up exercise. First, stretch your inner thighs, keep your body straight, take a big step with your right foot to the right, and put your hands on your left knee."
Stephen observed while talking, walked up to the students who were not doing well, and used gestures to remind them to correct them.
"Next, squat with your left foot at 90 degrees and stretch your inner thigh muscles. After finishing with your right foot, repeat the same action with your left foot, going back and forth for a minute..."
……
"Group two by two and shoot in groups. Mike and Kent, you two members of the basketball team, follow me."
Steve's words have always been concise and clear, just like the person he is.
When the boys heard the PE teacher's arrangements, they all looked for their partners, while Mike and Kent followed Steve with their heads hanging down.
Love, who had just joined the basketball club, noticed a slight twist on Kent's face, as if something terrible was about to happen.
"Captain, why do I feel that Brother Kent's expression is not right?"
Love asked in the ear of Foster, the captain of the school basketball club and the class sports committee member.
"Haha, your family is immigrants. You just transferred to Brazil and came to Brazil not long ago, so of course you don't understand.
Teacher Steve is the first instructor of the basketball club. These two are the most potential core insiders in our club and have a very heavy task.
Therefore, since Mr. Steve became the physical education teacher of our class, Mike and Kent have been personally coached by Mr. Steve and generally do not train with us.
The school attaches great importance to the upcoming Capital First Middle School Sports Meet organized by the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Sports, and of course he will personally train these two generals."
Foster is the backbone of the basketball department and the class sports committee. He does a lot of sports-related things. After he explained, he asked Love to help him.
"Here, help me." Foster said.
"Oh~ here we come."
Love helped Foster push the basketball stand to the center of the court, and the two moved their wrists a little, getting ready to start the next training.
After a while, the entire basketball court could be heard as sounds like "pop", "swish", "bang" and other sounds of the ball hitting the ground, the ball entering the net or the sound of iron being struck.
Among them, there are some unharmonious sounds mixed in. These sounds are often the screams of Kent or Mike.
"Ah~~!" "Hiss~~~!"
Of course, there is also Steve’s roar because he is dissatisfied with his disciple’s performance.
"When you stick to your opponent, your center of gravity must be lowered! Be sure to protect the ball!"
"What's wrong with you hitting the pivot foot from behind? Who told you to move it!"
"Step by step! How many times have I told you to keep your feet clean? You can't even get past this!"
"You are the backbone of the basketball club. How can you represent our school basketball team in the men's competition?"
......
Just as he is ruthless in his words, Steve also shows his domineering and powerful side in one-on-one confrontations with his disciples during training.
While Love was practicing shooting with Foster, he focused on the three-man half.
He has lost count of how many times Kent has been knocked to the ground after direct confrontations, and how many times Mike has been slapped. He doesn't dare to look at it, he can only glance at it from the corner of his eye, and mainly listens with his ears.
While the other boys were practicing shooting comfortably, Kent's team was also nearing the end.
After the last few confrontations under the basket, Kent and Mike looked exhausted and crossed their waists. The expressions on their faces seemed to have just been liberated from hell, and there was a sense of relief that they had been reborn.
On the other hand, Steve didn't show a trace of fatigue after personally training his disciples just now. Instead, he seemed more excited and energetic.
At this time, Steve had also taken off his shirt, wearing only a short-sleeved shirt. The muscles on his body were so swollen that they seemed to burst. He grabbed a rubber ball with one hand and walked like the wind to the other boys, giving people the impression that
It was as if a real tiger was out and might eat them, a group of weak lambs, at any time.
"Everyone else will fight in groups."
As soon as Steve's order was issued, all the players, including Foster and Love, were shocked.
"But teacher, we haven't done dribbling training yet."
Originally, according to the normal sequence, after the shooting training, there will be dribbling and layup training for all the boys in the team. A cone-shaped obstacle will be placed in the center of the field, and the players will dribble through it in turn and then lay up.
"There is no need to practice, just treat it as an evaluation. There must be good talents among you. I also want to see your strength. Don't play with those who are idle."
When Steve said this, his eyes focused on Love for a few seconds, and Love clearly felt a hot and penetrating gaze sweeping over him.
Seeing that Steve, the physical education teacher, had made up his mind, Foster, as the sports committee member and captain, stopped speaking out, and instead divided the boys into two groups according to Steve's arrangement.
Except for Kent and Mike, who had just finished the confrontation and were now practicing shooting on the sidelines, everyone else participated in this full-court confrontation training.
As expected, after the grouping was completed, Love noticed that Steve still went into battle in person.
I heard from old students that Steve does not only attack at the basket during team confrontation training, but usually plays a more commanding role in the high position, and captain Foster is his direct disciple.
Love and Foster are in the same group. Generally, wherever Steve is on the other side, Foster is on the opposite side. This also shows that Steve trusts his disciple and thinks that he can take charge of himself and lead the freshmen and
He fights.
The intra-group competition officially began. Love took the lead in serving from the baseline, and the ball was handed to Foster. Foster quickly advanced to the half court with the ball, signaled Love to come over for a pick-and-roll, and then lobbed the ball to Love.
Foster was able to become the sports committee member not only because he is good at playing various ball games, but his golf IQ is also higher than that of ordinary athletes.
Foster understood the meaning of Steve's words just now, especially when the teacher knew about Love's performance in the warm-up match shortly after joining the club.
Foster knew that the teacher wanted to test Love's quality through intra-team competition, and also test whether the newcomer was really good and prepare for the next game.
In Brazil, basketball and football are both developing, but basketball is not as popular as football, but it is still quite good, ranking in the second level with cricket and table tennis.
The football and cricket teams of Capital No. 7 Middle School are so poor that they competed with other schools several times and lost by a wide margin.
However, the school's basketball level is good, so the school directly focuses on the basketball team and hopes that they can achieve good results in the middle school student sports meeting in the near future.
