"Speed up! Speed up! Speed up! Bambi, steps, hey, hey, young man, steps! After speeding up, the steps can't be chaotic, watch the steps, pay attention to the steps! Jesus-hell-Christ! Steps! Center of gravity, balance of steps and center of gravity ! Grass! Speed up! Speed up! Don’t slow down, speed up! Very good, very good, steady the rhythm! Rhythm!”
Kip's roar has become hoarse, like a broken gong, clanking, and has become a unique scenery on the court. In the past few days, he has been working tirelessly from morning to night.
Lu Ke could clearly feel his lungs burning. To be precise, this flame can be felt not only in the lungs, but also in the internal organs.
The flames were violently consuming all the oxygen and tearing apart every muscle. It was as if the whole person was being tested in the fire of purgatory. His breathing began to become disordered, his muscles began to ache, and the heavy impact was hitting him. The rhythm and rhythm of body movements were messed up, and the steps began to become chaotic.
But Lu Ke had to grit his teeth, concentrate, eliminate distractions, and mechanically repeat the same action like an anxious person. This may be the 7777th time, which makes the whole body and muscles extremely tired. All left deep memories.
However, the decline in physical strength began to cause the passing movement to begin to deform. As a result, the passing accuracy also dropped sharply.
"boom!"
"boom!"
In two consecutive passes, Lu Ke hit the steel hoop supporting the net bag, making a dull sound. It was not a complete miss, but an accurate shot of the basket. This is also extremely rare, and then Kip's curses were vented. Down--
"Damn! Passing action! The action must be done right! Wrist control, God, Bambi! The arc of the arm swing! Pay attention to the arc! Keep the passing action! Footsteps, are you crazy? Footsteps! Arms! Footsteps! Arms ! Don’t remember the top and forget the bottom! Stay steady! Your movements have begun to deform now, damn it!”
It officially started at six o'clock in the morning, and it is now three o'clock in the afternoon.
After continuous high-intensity training, his physical strength reached an extreme point, he completely collapsed, and then started again. Now it has reached the second extreme point. Lu Ke felt that he could not exert any strength in his body, and his muscles and movements were losing weight bit by bit. The ground was out of control, the feeling of drowning lingered, and the lungs roared like bellows, but it still didn't help.
But Lu Ke still had no intention of giving up.
Because he knows that only by surviving such extremes and breaking barriers again and again can the body's limits be broken through and complete qualitative changes from quantitative changes. Over the past year or so, he has gradually become accustomed to the convenience brought by adding points to the system. He has almost forgotten how difficult it is to improve physical fitness and change technical movements.
Now, he had to find that feeling again. There is no shortcut, there is only one road to Huashan!
He will not be timid, let alone surrender!
"Quick! Quick! Quick! Speed up! Bambi, speed up! One-two, one-two, one-two! Rhythm!"
Under Kip's guidance, Lu Ke lifted up his heavy steps and started to speed up again. Even though he was exhausted to the extreme, he still maintained a high concentration of attention, trying hard to maintain the balance and rhythm of his body, and completed the transmission again. ball.
This time, the footsteps were rushing towards the diagonal line in the northwest direction. At this moment, from the corner of his vision, he caught a figure diagonally ahead on the left with a sturdy figure rushing over like a Harmony train. Before the body could get close, the air wave was already there. Coming towards me, it was... No. 99, JJ Watt!
Danger!
Every pore in his body screamed "danger".
Lu Ke knew that he had to dodge. His brain was screaming crazily, but his body's rhythm was not obeying the command. His extremely tired muscles began to stiffen, and his entire reaction slowed down by at least one beat. He had to fight to the death. He clenched his teeth and squeezed out the last bit of strength in his body. His teeth were almost broken into pieces. They were so tight that they were on the verge of explosion!
At the critical moment, his body abruptly shifted half a step to the right, but his steps seemed not to keep up with the rhythm, and only his upper body completed the dodge.
A half-step deviation had no impact at all on Watt. With a slight misstep of his feet, his hands grasped Lu Ke's waist tightly like pliers. The force of the strong collision hit him like a high-speed train. Coming over, Lu Ke felt like he was thrown to the ground heavily like a tattered rag doll.
There is no possibility of resistance at all.
Every bone and every muscle protested.
"Fuck!" Lu Ke finally couldn't hold back and cursed.
Not only because he was tackled, but also because his judgment was too late.
The left side was the blind side. Lu Ke was concentrating on passing training, and an obvious blind spot appeared in his field of vision. When he caught Watt's figure, he was already two beats late, missing the best opportunity to dodge.
This is the worst!
Because this means that his attention is not focused enough; it also means that during footwork practice, his vision is ignored.
"Fuck!" Lu Ke slammed the football in his hand on the ground, venting his dissatisfaction.
Watt stood up, stretched out his right hand, grabbed Lu Ke's right hand, pulled his friend up, and patted Lu Ke's shoulder with his big hand like a cattail fan, "Man, don't be too harsh on yourself, your performance There has been significant progress.”
"You have just judged the direction of my grapple, right? You have also responded accordingly by dodging your steps. This shows that you are on the right path in terms of blind side observation and body control. ." Watt said with a smile on his face.
Lu Ke rolled his eyes, "But he still didn't move away."
"Haha, I made a sneak attack unexpectedly, and it was one-on-one between the defensive player and the quarterback. If you dodge this, then I will have to practice more after today." Watt is an honest man, telling the truth. , with a sincere face, not maliciously despising Lu Ke, but showing the confidence of a top player.
"Watt VS Lu Ke", this kind of duel has become a part of Lu Ke's training.
In daily training, Lu Ke and Watt train separately, and the training methods of the offensive team and the defensive team are still different. Watt naturally has his own training team to arrange corresponding training tasks, but after finishing a set of training movements, during the breaks in training, Watt will conduct extra "extra training" and participate in Lu Ke's training——
As a defensive forward, Watt launched surprise attacks from different angles and directions, from far or near, left or right, testing Lu Ke's visual observation ability and footstep dodge ability under extreme conditions.
Originally, in one-on-one training between the defensive line and the quarterback, the defensive player had the undoubted advantage. Without the cover of the offensive line, the quarterback was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, allowing the defensive players to slaughter him. The only difference was that , fall down in one second, fall down after holding on for three seconds, or survive for five seconds.
In the duel just now, Lu Ke's physical fitness had reached its limit. His steps were slow and his body was clumsy. Even though he knew the direction of the tackle, he still couldn't dodge it and was easily tackled. . But as Watt said, Lu Ke's judgment and steps have been significantly improved.
You know, offseason training is not even halfway through yet.
Such a growth rate is already shocking; but it can also be seen from the side how hard Lu Ke works in daily training.
Looking at Watt with a smile on his face, Lu Ke clenched his fist dissatisfied, "Don't make it a habit. You may not get used to it when you wait for the game." Now Lu Ke's goal is to adapt during the offseason. After the start of the new season, it will become easier to clear Watt's Hell Mode.
Watt waved his hand nonchalantly, "While you are improving, I am also improving. How about a three-on-three? My training status is good today, and the pace and rhythm of the entire confrontation are satisfactory."
"Okay, of course there is no problem." Although he had just suffered a sack, Lu Ke was not timid at all, and simply nodded and agreed, "However, before the three-on-three, I still have three groups of training to complete, slow down. Take your time."
"God, they still call me a lunatic." Watt couldn't help but widen his eyes, unable to believe what Lu Ke said.
Although Watt did not count in detail, one thing is certain: Lu Ke trained at least 20 sets of 30 passes per set every day in the moving footwork passing training just now. Although the target of each pass will not be too far away, and it is mainly medium and short passes, there is no doubt that it will test the arm strength and physical strength.
Moreover, this is only part of Lu Ke's technical training.
In addition, in addition to technical training, there is also physical training.
Lu Ke looked at Watt up and down, and then said calmly, "You should have heard the saying, the stupid bird flies first. If you don't fly in advance, you will be eliminated soon."
Talented players can enjoy their vacation during the offseason; players like him can only catch up with them if they work harder. It's not fair, but it's fair.
"Also, you are indeed a lunatic. I can't compare with you." Lu Ke made a cut, then ignored Watt, who had a silly smile on his face, walked to the side and raised his chin towards Kip, "Let's do it again!"
Starting from scratch, Lu Ke was not impatient at all and started preparing meticulously, as if every training session was a brand new beginning. Lu Ke has never forgotten the habit inherited from his sparring career.
Perhaps for many rookie players, reaching the National League finals in their freshman season is already an incomparable glory and honor, but for Lu Ke, passing by so close is a source of motivation to work harder.
"Rhythm! Rhythm! Bambi, when your physical fitness declines, rhythm is more important. This is a way to save energy. Pay attention to your steps and your arms!"
Kip's voice echoed throughout the stadium again. Watt stood there and watched quietly for a moment, then turned around and started a new round of training again.
Offseason training is undoubtedly boring, but this is their life. If they miss the colorful world, after retiring, they will have a lot of time to enjoy it slowly.
