Feeling like he was being targeted again, Li Ao had nothing to do.
Who let him eat?
Turn grief and anger into motivation!
Sam Hayes, the team's other technical director, has learned from Xavier Johnson how 'favorite' the coach is for the newcomer.
He didn't say much and went straight to work, guiding Li Ao to warm up, helping Li Ao move his muscles and joints, and then started training immediately.
Li Ao felt that yesterday's shooting training was boring enough.
But now, he feels that yesterday's training was so happy, and the training of basic defensive footwork skills is really torture!
Moreover, the attitude of the assistant coaches is very different. Xavier Johnson is enthusiastic and talkative.
The teaching assistant in front of me was much colder in temperament and spoke very directly.
"There's something wrong here, try again."
"You need to exert force on both waists at the same time! No, try again!"
"Here you need to use a force similar to that of a return run. Start in an instant, turn back! Turn back! You have to start quickly and pay attention to the force on your back! No, try again!"
"……Again!"
"……Again!"
When he didn't practice well yesterday, he received encouragement, but today he received criticism and denial one after another, which made Li Ao feel very frustrated.
However, noticing the head coach who was watching the show, Li Ao gritted his teeth and persisted. In the end, his footsteps were numb and he purely followed instinct.
Finally, at 11:30, Sam Hayes said: "That's it for today's training."
After saying that, Sam Hayes left, and Li Ao collapsed on the floor. He now felt that Xavier Johnson was really a warm old man!
More than two hours! At least 90% of the time is spent practicing, one group after another of 3-minute footwork training. The rest time after each group of footwork training is stuck at 30 seconds. In addition, there are only two steps after a large group of training. During the rest time, I have been practicing the rest of the time.
This teaching assistant is like a robot!
No need for emotion!
Li Ao could only console himself with the 50 achievement points he just got.
"Training mode: The team arranges training.
Training content: Basic skills of defensive movement.
Completion status: Overfulfilled the training schedule of the coaching staff.
Training Rating: Poor.
Congratulations to the host for receiving the training reward: 50 achievement points.
Because the host's training performance has not reached the qualified level, the body's physical therapy function cannot be used. "
Another bad review, he wants to experience the physical therapy function of the body!
At this time, someone walked up to him. He thought it was Brown, but the arm stretched out was much thicker.
Li Ao moved his eyes upward and saw who it was. He stretched out his hand and stood up, saying, "Thank you, Jeff."
Trepagnier said: "It's okay, Leo, don't be dissatisfied with Sam. His character is like that. In fact, he is a good person, works seriously, and is very professional."
Li Ao responded: "I understand."
It was okay not to mention this assistant coach. If he did, he would still feel a little unhappy, but he also felt that Sam Hayes was not specifically targeting him.
However, Sam Hayes was even more unhappy with the same negative reviews. He now wanted to prove something and was more motivated to train.
Trepagnier saw Li Ao's mood and did not continue the topic. He asked: "Let's go have lunch together?"
"No," Li Ao scratched the chest of his jersey, sweating, and said, "I need to take a shower first. I can't even stand the smell of myself."
Mysophobia is contagious. Trepagnier touched his jersey, which was also soaked, and said, "Then I'll take a shower first."
Li Ao nodded and went to the locker room with Tre Paganier.
When passing through the long and narrow gym, Trepagnier complained: "I don't know what the designers of this stadium are thinking. Even the newly added areas are designed to be too confusing."
This got to Li Ao's heart, and he complained: "I guess he got a kickback, or this designer helped take a bullet for the owner of this arena."
After being recognized, Trepagnier was very happy: "Yes, I think so too. If I had a little bit of design common sense, I wouldn't have made this stadium such a mess. I get lost every time I come here."
"Oh? Jeff, you majored in architectural design?"
"Yes, my dream is to build a building with my signature color! Just like the Twin Towers in New York, a national landmark building."
"Uh..." Li Ao wondered what was the wrong metaphor to use, but he still encouraged: "You always have to have dreams, what if they come true?"
Li Ao was very talkative, and so was Trepagnier. The two of them were still chatting while taking a shower, and they quickly became familiar with each other.
Jeff Trepagnier, a teammate, was one of the ones Li Ao had a better impression of when he learned about his teammates through information before joining the team.
White Mamba was not among the top 100 high school students in the United States during high school, but now he has become a well-known star in college basketball, which can be considered a counterattack.
Trepagnier is a model of counterattack. There was no such person in high school. He took the initiative to participate in trial training and joined the basketball club during his freshman season. In the second half of his freshman season, he seized the opportunity and played several good performances. During his sophomore season last season, he seized the opportunity of graduating from the previous generation's starting lineup and secured his position as the starting shooting guard. His physical fitness was average, and his running and jumping ability was not good, but he was very strong. With a height of 193 centimeters, he had comprehensive skills and Excellent, now he is the first scoring point of the team's back line.
Li Ao was more meticulous about bathing. He had to wash himself thoroughly even if he took a shower. Trepagnier, who had just rinsed off the sweat and even finished the bath, teased Li Ao and went out first.
When Li Ao finished washing, dried and changed his clothes and went out, he saw Trey Pagannier chatting with Sam Clancy, seemingly talking about topics related to him. He subconsciously stopped opening the door.
"Jeff, why did you get together with that guy? He is not a good person."
"Sam, Brian has already told you that you can't judge a person so casually. I think he is pretty good. Did you see how hard he trained yesterday and today? I appreciate this about him. "
"What's the use of working hard? For someone like him who is unknown in high school, it's useless no matter how hard he works."
As soon as Sam Clancy said this, Trepaganiel looked displeased and was silent for several seconds.
At this time, Li Ao pushed open the door and walked out. He looked at Sam Clancy sideways like an admiral and said, "The high school genius who serves as a substitute for Laimbeer."
Ignoring Sam Clancy, whose black head was swollen, Li Ao said to Trepagnier: "Let's go have lunch, I'm starving to death."
Trepaganiel nodded, ignored Sam Clancy, and left with Li Ao.
Sam Clancy wanted to rush in for a fight, but he was poked in a painful spot.
But he didn't dare, just like he did when faced with Shelby Jordan's humiliation.
Although his bad reputation brought Li Ao a lot of trouble, it also brought him a benefit - most people who knew him did not dare to mess with him.
…
After lunch, Li Ao went home and collapsed.
Originally, he was very energetic and wanted to practice continuously in the morning and afternoon, but after the lunch break, he felt that he was useless.
My whole body aches!
He decisively chose to lie down on the sofa and play Contra.
The next morning, he called the Browns basketball club office, originally wanting to ask Brown if he could train today.
Although he is still in a semi-disabled state, he is still young and is much better than yesterday. He feels that he can practice shooting.
But the person who answered the phone was Henry Bibby. When he heard him asking about training, Henry Bibby directly shouted: "Do you want to die? Are you kidding? If you want to die, just lie down on the bed."
Before Li Ao could reply, Henry Bibby hung up the phone. He called again and was cut off. Li Ao was helpless and furious in the living room for a long time.
Near noon, Vivian knocked on the door and asked Li Ao to go to her room. She thought she would have lunch, but...
"It hurts, it hurts..."
"Slower……"
"Oh ho ho ho..."
"It's broken, the arm is going to be broken..."
"Wait...wait a moment..."
"..."
"..."
Listening to Li Ao's call, Vivian considered adding sound insulation to the room.
If this was heard by the neighbor next door, how could it be explained clearly? Fortunately, today is the weekend and all the neighbors next door went out early in the morning.
After a full hour of tossing, Li Ao was completely exhausted. He lay on the massage bed without even wanting to move his fingers.
Vivian said to the physical therapist who was packing various massage equipment: "Thank you for your hard work, Jack."
The muscular man who was called Jack smiled and said: "Call me anytime if you need anything. The boss said that your needs come first. By the way, let the child get up and move around more. Don't lie down after exercise, it will cause stress. to active muscles, affecting the effectiveness of exercise.”
"Help me say thank you to your boss..."
After sending the physical therapist away, Vivian came to the massage table, poked Li Ao who was like mud, and said: "Remember to tell me after the next training. I will ask Jack to give you physical therapy. He is the star physical therapist of Wright Rehabilitation Center. The technology is very good.
I thought you were just going to play on the basketball team, but I didn’t expect you to come for real and train so hard that even Henry said you impressed him. "
"Are you coming?" Li Ao jumped up directly: "Goodbye, Aunt Vivian, I'm still young, I think I can do it without physical therapy! It hurts too much, I'm afraid of pain."
"Are you kidding me? Their company won't give you a refund. All the money I spent on new shoes has been spent on it. Are you telling me that you're afraid of pain and won't do physical therapy? It's okay if you don't. You'll pay me a pair of shoes!"
"I love physical therapy so much, I do it! Thank you so much, Aunt Vivian, for hiring such an excellent physical therapist for me."
Vivian nodded with satisfaction: "Then get up and make lunch. I'm hungry. I've already asked someone to deliver the food."
"I train so hard and still have to cook?"
"The physiotherapist told you not to be paralyzed and to exercise moderately. And I spent so much money, so you have to give me some compensation, right? I'll leave dinner to you too."
"..."
