"..." There was no sound echoing in his mind, just silence. Lu Ke couldn't help complaining, "Hello, I'm sure I'm not playing a single-player game, right? Will NPCs go offline?"
"No, no, the yoga you practice is the kind of yoga you practice on earth." Xiao Qi's voice is still cold and without warmth, but now that he is used to it, Lu Ke can also hear some changes in Xiao Qi's voice and intonation, just like at this moment : Helpless, speechless. A real person would be rolling her eyes in exasperation at this point and saying, "No, you're not going to transform into a Super Saiyan; and finally, yoga has no direct connection to football, but it does have a direct connection to quarterbacks."
At this time, Xiao Qi's tone returned to normal, and she began to explain dutifully, "Yoga can exercise your body control and tap out more physical potential under extreme circumstances; at the same time, it can exercise your muscle flexibility. What a quarterback needs is not the ability to rush, block, and intercept, but more the ability to dodge, break through, and feint. Therefore, he should avoid bulky and strong muscles, keep his body light, and increase his resistance at the same time. Play ability.”
"Finally, yoga can also tap into your five senses, increase your perception and control of football, and improve your wrist flexibility, body coordination, and limb balance when passing the ball, which are all helpful for accurate passing." Xiao Qi Yi completed all the introductions vigorously, paused for a moment, waiting for Lu Ke's response, "Do you still have any questions?"
Lu Ke was very sure that this last sentence was deliberately aimed at him, which made him laugh, "But, why now?"
"Because you were not qualified before." Just when Lu Ke thought that Xiao Qi had become a little "human", he struck a fatal blow and inserted a dagger into his chest mercilessly, "Strictly For example, you still haven’t reached the standard, but yoga is a cumulative process, and it takes at least three months of training from the beginning of training to the integration of muscles.”
Three months.
Lu Ke reacted immediately, his eyes lit up slightly, "Rookie training camp!"
For all players, the most convenient and fastest way to enter the league is always the rookie training camp. Whether it is the draft or an undrafted rookie, the rookie training camp is a stage for concentrated self-expression, and it is also the role of major teams. The best platform for judgment and evaluation.
"So, how should I start training yoga?" This was an area that Lu Ke didn't know at all, but he immediately reacted, "Video!"
Each training task has a dedicated video to guide Lu Ke in completing the system tasks meticulously. However, no new training tasks have been added in recent months, and he has almost forgotten about the omnipotent system.
After calling up the video, what appeared in front of Lu Ke was a dazzling video page. After a quick browse, there were thirty videos in total.
Lu Ke's eyes widened, "Do you have to do all these actions every day?" Just seeing the actions in the first video, Lu Ke felt ridiculous. This seemingly difficult posture, what on earth is going on? Did it? The remaining twenty-nine are even more incredible.
"No, it's just the first five actions." After Xiaoqi's reminder, Lu Ke discovered that only the first five videos were bright, and the next twenty-five videos were all dim, which meant that they could not be opened temporarily. .
Thirty minutes, five movements, although still difficult, at least it doesn't seem so outrageous now. "Will there be more yoga moves in the future? Or will there be only these thirty and continue forever?" Lu Ke thought of this again, but then he shook his head, "It's better not to tell me. Now these first five, It’s enough to give me a headache.”
For the time being, Lu Ke put the troublesome yoga behind him. After completing his training, he began to fulfill his duties as a student.
As he joked before, there are only two weeks left for final exams. This is not a joke, but a reality. After the exams it's Christmas break, and this exam is crucial for every student, even the athletes.
There are strict regulations in the United States. The official league is a professional competition, and sports are work; but not in the NCAA. All participants are students, which is their primary status, and sports are just side jobs. The NCAA has a strict admission system and academic performance requirements. Even if the player is talented on the court, if his academic performance does not meet the standards, he will not be able to play.
Historically, countless students, including football players, basketball players, baseball players, etc., had to sit on the bench and retake the exam again and again because their test scores failed to meet the NCAA qualifications.
The famous NBA player Dwyane Wade is a typical representative. In college, because his test scores did not meet the standard, he sat on the bench throughout his freshman season. Then he failed to pass the test three times in a row and cried bitterly. Crying, but still helpless.
The NCAA always puts player academics first, and the reason is simple. After leaving school, only a few players can enter the professional league. More players will engage in other professions and jobs after graduation. Without cultural knowledge as a basis, their future will be very limited and they will focus on academics. This is right. Athlete's Responsibility.
This final exam, for seniors like Lu Ke, is their last exam before graduation. After that, they will start preparing for their graduation thesis. Therefore, this is an exam related to their diploma, and no one can take it lightly, even those star players who have proven themselves in the NCAA—
In the professional rugby league, IQ must be measured during rookie training camp, and there are also special psychological tests. Cultural performance during college is also one of the reference standards. Although this has nothing to do with the player's athletic talent, it will indeed affect the player's draft pick. It is very likely that a first-round pick will fall to the second or even third round. The turn has gone.
Pay attention to the class, borrow notes, inquire about the situation, communicate with the teaching assistant... In the blink of an eye, another day of daily life comes to an end.
However, compared with usual, today's daily life seems to have changed slightly - strictly speaking, it is an earth-shaking change. In the corridors, classrooms, squares, everyone you meet on the road, literally everyone, will greet Lu Ke more or less, at least with a nod and a smile. Even the professor specifically called him by name before class. , "Lu Ke, you did a good job last night!" This caused all the students in the lecture theater to whistle and bang the table.
The victory in last night's game is affecting the entire campus in every aspect!
After the class, Lu Ke did not rush home directly. Instead, he went to a sports goods store and bought yoga-related equipment. For athletes, they understand the importance of professional equipment better than anyone else. If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. This is the truth, especially those players who want to occupy a place in the professional league. So true.
Carrying the brand new sports equipment, Lu Ke jogged all the way back to the apartment. When he got home, the warm-up was over. After relaxing and adjusting for a while, he was ready to start exploring yoga.
First, he laid out the yoga mat in the hall, then summoned the system and clicked on the first video. It’s not that he couldn’t wait to train now - today’s daily training has been completed and the timer will start again tomorrow, so today’s Training is not counted. The reason why he started today is that on the one hand, the team had no formal training today and came back early to rest; on the other hand, he wanted to familiarize himself with yoga movements to prepare for tomorrow's formal training.
The first video started to play, and Lu Ke carefully observed the movements of the three-dimensional projection inside.
The movement does not seem complicated, even a little simple. The right foot is independent, and then the left hand pulls the left foot up. Finally, the left foot and the right foot appear in a horse-like posture. The right hand is stretched flat, extending the body, and the whole body is complete. Relying entirely on the right leg for support. Then, the simple and clear movements are definitely difficult.
Judging from the picture alone, this was an impossible action. Lu Ke felt that his brain was a little insufficient. He didn't even understand how the muscles exerted force and the body balance was maintained. However, after the video started playing, some text appeared next to it. After reading it carefully, I found that it was a detailed description of the action and some precautions.
This action is called standing bow pose, which puts strict demands on the muscles of the arms, hips, buttocks, calves, and back. It is also helpful to adjust the flexibility and coordination of the body, promote blood circulation, improve cardiopulmonary function, and more The important thing is that this is an action that requires extremely high attention, and is helpful for abilities such as patience and decision-making.
After reading, Lu Ke began to try to follow the movements of the video.
The action looks difficult enough, but it's even more difficult to execute. Lu Ke vaguely felt that it seemed to be somewhat different from yoga in real life, but he had never trained in formal yoga, so he naturally had no way of telling the difference. To be more precise, even the first movement was extremely difficult to complete.
After each movement to support himself, his center of gravity began to shake. Before he could even extend forward, his whole body began to shake violently. Otherwise, his left hand did not have time to release his left leg, and his whole body staggered and flew away. to get out; otherwise, he would loosen his left hand, shift his entire weight back, and fall down directly; or else he would fly forward, with every muscle in his body protesting.
After trying several times in succession, Lu Ke finally stood firm once, but the system still showed that his movements were not standard.
"How is it possible?" Lu Ke felt that he had reached the standard. "Did he not maintain the posture for three seconds? Or three minutes?" Lu Ke studied it carefully, but found that it was not the time, but the reason of his own movements. ——Because his center of gravity began to shake again, let alone three minutes, three seconds was difficult.
This seems like a bad start.
