When the team's training ended, Hu Lai was about to go to the locker room to change clothes with his teammates, but was stopped by Li Ziqiang.
"You stay."
The other players all set their sights on Hu Lai, but no one said anything and they returned to the locker room first.
Soon only Hu Lai and Li Ziqiang were left on the court.
Facing Hu Lai who didn't understand why, Li Ziqiang said straight to the point: "You are still too weak now. As a deputy captain, it is difficult to convince the public if you are too weak."
Hu Lai felt aggrieved: "I'm not the coach... This vice-captain is not what I want to do either!"
Li Ziqiang, as if he didn't hear what he said at all, continued: "So you need more training."
"Coach, are you listening? I actually don't want to be the vice-captain..."
"Starting from tomorrow, you can come early for half an hour every morning and I will give you extra practice."
Hu Lai was stunned for a moment, then frowned: "But coach, my dad..."
"Your dad doesn't let you play football, right?" Li Ziqiang looked at Hu Lai and said.
Hu Lai nodded vigorously.
"What does that have to do with me?" Li Ziqiang spread his hands, "How to deal with your dad is your business. If you want to improve, come to school half an hour early every week from Monday to Friday and accept
The training I gave you."
Hu Lai still had a frown on his face. Every morning he went out half an hour earlier than usual, so there had to be a reasonable explanation, right? Although there were times when he was on duty, he couldn't be on duty every day, right?
At this moment, he heard the voice of the system in his mind: "Task: Accept and complete the special training given by the coach for a period of three months. Task reward: For each day of training completed, you will receive points x 100 and ten consecutive draws.
Coupon x1, [Powerful Intelligence Potion] x1.”
The system, which has been dormant since the national competition, finally releases tasks again!
What kind of point rewards, what kind of ten consecutive lottery tickets appeared for the first time... Hu Lai didn't care about any of these. He didn't even glance at it, and his consciousness was directly locked on the last reward:
[Powerful Intelligence Potion]!
[Smart Potion] He knew it was a good thing, and this [Powerful Smart Potion] was definitely better even if you just looked at the name!
[Powerful Smart Potion]: Improves training effect and is effective for half a year from the date of consumption.
Effective for half a year!
This is awesome!
Hu Lai was ecstatic, wishing he could get this mission reward now. Only then did he discover that there was an inconspicuous line of small words at the end of the mission description: "[Powerful Intelligence Potion] can be used if this mission is not completed.
Get it in advance, use it early and enjoy it early.”
Hu Lai felt that his breathing had stopped.
Seeing that Hu Lai didn't answer his words, Li Ziqiang was a little impatient: "What? You don't want to become stronger? I gave you a chance, but then don't..."
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Hu Lai suddenly said: "Okay, coach! Do you want to practice starting tomorrow?"
Li Ziqiang looked at Hu Lai, who suddenly became more energetic, but his mood still hadn't been adjusted for a while.
"Why did you suddenly..."
"Coach, you are right. I am too weak now. I should do everything possible to improve myself through training. Coach, if you are willing to give me extra training, of course I can't refuse!" Hu Lai raised his chest and raised his head, speaking with dignity.
Although I don’t know why Hu Lai agreed so simply, he agreed anyway.
Li Ziqiang didn't care about the reasons behind him. Anyway, whether he could convince his father or use other reasons to deceive his father was all his business and had nothing to do with him.
All I have to do is wait for him on the court tomorrow morning.
※※※
Thirty-five minutes before the school bell rang for morning reading the next day, Li Ziqiang actually saw Hu Lai on the court carrying a schoolbag.
"Why don't you put your schoolbag in the classroom?" Li Ziqiang asked, looking at Hu Lai's schoolbag.
"Well, coach, it's too early now. I was the first one to come. The door of our classroom is still locked. I don't have the key and can't open the door..." Hu Lai said.
Although he said that how to obtain permission was his own business, Li Ziqiang could not help but be curious: "How did you convince your family?"
"Well...I said I wanted to memorize vocabulary in school. It was too noisy at home and I couldn't calm down. The sound insulation effect of our community is really very poor. It starts to get very noisy at five or six o'clock every day.
I could clearly hear the sound of putting water and igniting the fire while making breakfast in the building opposite..." Hu Lai explained. "Coach, let's start?"
He looked eager to try.
Before going out today, he had already redeemed the [Powerful Intelligence Potion] and secretly drank it. Now that the potion has taken effect, he is waiting to improve the training effect.
"You go warm up first." Li Ziqiang waved his hand, then grabbed a stack of marker bowls and walked to the front of the penalty area.
When Hu Lai returned to Li Ziqiang after warming up, he had already placed all the logo bowls.
Those yellow sign bowls were flipped upside down on the turf, forming a 5x5 square area at the front of the penalty area.
"From the side I'm next to, clockwise, the four sides in this circle are one, two, three, and four." Li Ziqiang pointed to the surroundings of the square area composed of four sign bowls and said to Hu Lai.
"Remember the order of these four sides, clockwise, one, two, three, four." He repeated it again, and then looked at Hu Lai.
Hu Lai nodded: "Remember, coach."
"Okay, let me demonstrate next."
After speaking, Li Ziqiang ran into the square area from the No. 1 sideline, then turned around and ran out from the No. 2 sideline, then turned back and ran back from the No. 2 sideline, and rushed out from the opposite No. 4 sideline in one breath. Continue to turn back,
Then he broke into the circle from the No. 4 sideline, then changed direction and rushed out of the square area from No. 3.
"When I run out, I will pass the football to you. You have to catch the ball and then complete the shot. You have to shoot the football into the goal to be considered successful. Do you understand?"
Hu Lai: "I understand, coach."
Looks pretty simple...he thought to himself.
Li Ziqiang turned to look at him and asked, "Do you think it's easy?"
"No, no, coach." Hu Lai shook his head quickly, and was even startled, thinking that the coach had seen through his mind...
"Okay, let's do it." After saying that, Li Ziqiang retreated and came to the left side of the training area with a football under his feet.
As soon as the whistle blew, Hu Lai rushed into the circle, changed direction and rushed out, then turned back and rushed back, rushed through, continued to turn back and ran in, then changed direction and ran out of the circle.
At this time, his breathing had begun to become messy.
Just when he ran out of the circle, Li Ziqiang passed the football from the left. He raised his foot to stop the ball, but found that his body seemed to be less responsive, and his legs were as heavy as lead.
He wanted to lift his foot to stop the ball, but he did not lift it to the appropriate height. The football directly hit the calf bone and flew six or seven meters away...
Seeing this scene, he took a breath and knew something was wrong...
Sure enough, Li Ziqiang's criticism sounded like thunder: "Have you done all the basic training for so long in vain? You can't even stop the ball? Ah?!"
"No, coach, this return run..." Hu Lai pointed to the training area to defend himself.
"What's wrong with turning back and running?" Li Ziqiang asked.
"After running back and forth so many times, my legs can't keep up... Coach, you don't have to run back and forth so many times before catching the ball and shooting, right?"
Faced with the question raised by Hu Lai, Li Ziqiang did not respond simply and rudely like before with "Just ask so many questions about what to do and practice." Instead, he snorted: "That's because you are too weak, so
There is no need to change direction and run to get rid of the opponent before shooting. You only need to run into the space without anyone noticing, and then wait for the ball. Luo Kai helps you attract all the defensive attention, which is not available at all in the game.
People are staring at you..."
When he heard the coach say that he relied on Luo Kai to attract the defensive attention, Hu Lai was unhappy. He retorted: "But coach, the Anton Cup final..."
"Oh, yes, in the Anton Cup final, Wang Guangwei followed you every step of the way, and you scored a goal in the end. So what? You plan to have a heart-to-heart talk with every opponent you encounter in the future on the court and try to be clever.
Get rid of opponents? Or do you want to score goals by picking up holes your whole life?"
Facing the coach's question, Hu Lai shook his head. Of course he also knew that chatting with Wang Guangwei for a long time was helpless - his mouth was dry and he didn't even take a sip of water...
"Now this training content is to let you practice how to get rid of the opponent during the game, and then complete the shot. After you finally get rid of the defensive player, you can't even stop the ball. Do you still want to score? Dream on! Do it again!"
Hu Lai had no choice but to return to the starting line and start training again.
After a whistle, he rushed out again.
"...Don't charge too hard at the beginning! You spent all your energy in front. When you finally get rid of the ball, do you still have the energy?"
"Rhythm, pay attention to the rhythm! This is not a turnaround speed test! I don't have a stopwatch in my hand!"
"Keep your body stable when shooting. Don't stagger around. There is no stability at all. The plane in the sky has a grudge against you!!"
…
Just after Hu Lai was finally able to adapt to the training content, Li Ziqiang asked him to rest for thirty seconds and then asked: "Do you still remember the sequential numbers of the four sides?"
Hu Lai supported his knees with both hands, leaned over and nodded breathlessly: "Remember, remember... clockwise, clockwise, clockwise..."
"Okay, after a while you stand in that square, and I will shout randomly among these four numbers. Whichever number I shout, you will rush out from which side, and then catch the ball and shoot. I will shout a few numbers, and you will
You have to cross the edge I shouted in turn and shoot again. Do you understand?"
Hu Lai raised his hand.
"explain."
"Well, coach... if you just call one, wouldn't I catch the ball with my back to the goal? How can I shoot?"
"..." Li Ziqiang didn't expect Hu Lai to ask such a tricky question. He took a deep breath and said angrily: "I won't just shout one. Do you still have any questions now?"
"Oh, no more..."
"Then go and stand in the circle for me!"
After Hu Lai went to the circle obediently, Li Ziqiang shouted: "Four two three!"
Hu Lai was stunned for a moment. He turned in the wrong direction for the first time, then turned back and found the right direction. Then he rushed out, turned back and ran back, then turned back into the circle, then changed direction and ran out from the third side.
But he didn't catch the football.
"The reaction is too slow! By the time you finish the turn, I have already passed the ball!" Li Ziqiang pointed to the far end and said. Hu Lai looked over and realized that the football had rolled towards the corner flag area...
"Uh... I'll come again, coach!" Hu Lai didn't waste any time and jumped back into the circle.
"one two three!"
"Three four two!"
…

As the morning reading class approaches, there are more and more students on the campus of Dongchuan Middle School. They chase and fight towards their classrooms. The students on duty in each class are already holding brooms and buckets are starting to be placed at the places where each class is responsible.
Clean up and prepare for a new day of campus life.
The school that was quite quiet before seemed to have woken up and regained its vitality, and the campus was bustling with activity.
Some students came to the school stadium to run and exercise, or recited English words and political texts loudly while circling on the track.
And everyone will first cast curious eyes on the court, watching a classmate lying on the turf panting. If you didn't look carefully, you would find that his chest is still moving, which really makes people think he is dead...
Hu Lai really couldn't get up. He couldn't seem to feel the existence of his thighs. When he tried to lift his legs, his legs shook as if they were electrified, and he couldn't control them at all.
Before accepting the system task, he thought that this training only gave 100 points a day, so the training intensity must not be more than that. Besides, just half an hour of training, how can it be so difficult?
Unexpectedly, he only realized now that the task reward does not represent the difficulty of the task. It is really hard to earn these 100 points! He now feels that this system is extremely stingy!
Li Ziqiang came over, looked at his embarrassment, and shook his head: "Tsk, I changed my plan. You are too weak, so I also used the lunch break for extra training. Remember, don't eat too much at lunch to avoid vomiting.
.”
After saying that, Li Ziqiang ignored Hu Lai, went straight to pack up the training equipment, and then walked to his office on the sidelines.
Hu Lai was so tired that he couldn't even show the expression of collapse, so he could only yell in his heart: "System! System! Get out of here! The training plan has changed, why don't you adjust your task rewards?! You can't increase the amount, right?"
Increase the price! Another bottle of [Powerful Intelligence Potion]!"
But the system didn't respond to him, as if there was no system at all.
Hu Lai sighed helplessly, turned over, crawled forward on the artificial turf with the strength of his upper body, and moved bit by bit towards his schoolbag placed on the sidelines.
As for the students who came to the playground for morning exercises, they all stared at this weirdo with their mouths agape, and for a while they even forgot where to recite the words...
※※※
ps, regarding the specific training methods, it is actually a bit slow to explain them in words.
So I updated an easter egg chapter after the chapter, which contains training diagrams.
You can take a look at it together with this picture.
