The gym didn't turn off the lights until 12 a.m. without anyone noticing for some time. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Info Aside from Morris and Anjie himself, the only person who noticed that something was wrong was Asakim. Poor Asakin, he thought that his starting center position was definitely not running, but in the subsequent training, he felt more and more difficult to face An Jie's defense, and now he can no longer take advantage of Anjie one-on-one.

"You've definitely taken medicine, or you're using Eastern witchcraft. Between breaks, Asakin teased again.

"I said that thing is called Chinese medicine. ”

"Taking a few ordinary pieces of grass can cure diseases and strengthen the body, that must be witchcraft. Take me to Anjie, take me to find a Chinese medicine practitioner to cast some spells on me, so that I can also become stronger. Asakin leaned closer, looking An Jie up and down.

"You go away, I don't want to be misunderstood. An Jie pretended to be disgusted and pushed Asakin away, and then quickly put it on his face. Although they are rivals, both of them are relatively humble and friendly personalities, so their relationship is very good.

"Look, these two big men are flirting again. Mike Taylor wiped his sweat as he walked over to Anjie and Asakin and sat down.

"Don't think I don't know, every time you defend against that Cruze kid, you're always going to play against people, you must be trying to do something wrong, I think we should stay away from you. Asakin returned fire with no flinching exports.

"You three are throwing up nausea. Morris on the side looked at the three people sitting on the floor with a look of disgust, why did he like to mix with the three guys?

Because of the mutual appreciation on the court, they have become good friends.

………………..

Every three or four days, An Jie's mother would call and ask how her son, who was alone abroad, was doing. In fact, she wished she would make three or four phone calls a day, but she was afraid of disturbing her son's life. Mothers all over the world are like this, no matter how old their sons are, they can't rest assured.

Sure enough, three days after the last call, the mother's call came again.

"Hey, Mom. It was past seven o'clock in the evening, and An Jie had just come out of the training room, ready to enjoy a "sumptuous" dinner brought in a lunch box.

"An Jie, are you busy? ”

"I'm not busy, I'm not busy, I just went out with my roommate for a walk before I went back to the dormitory. An Jie didn't want to say that he had just come out of the strength training room and was now half tired and half dead, so his mother would have been talking to him for more than an hour. For example, tell him to pay attention to his body, and tell him not to delay his studies because of playing......

"Tell you, I made your favorite spicy chicken last night, and I'm thinking about sending you some. ”

"Don't bother, don't you have to worry about me eating badly here in the United States?" he looked at the food in his lunch box according to the nutritious recipe: chicken nuggets that tasted like chewing wax, tasteless noodles and a little fruit salad. An Jie thought about the spicy chicken on the other end of the phone, and he drooled.

"Your dad was reading the newspaper next to him, and I said Lao An, do you want to say a few words to your son. International calls are precious, so what should I say in a hurry. At this moment, she seemed to forget that she was procrastinating and asking a bunch of questions that were the same every time......

"What is there to say about such a big person, just tell him to play by himself and pay attention not to get hurt. "That's the difference between a father and a mother.

"Okay, that's it for your dad. Don't talk about it, you have a good rest. Don't hang out with your American classmates at night. "Before hanging up the phone, I didn't forget to tell you.

"I know Mom, hang up. Hanging up the phone, An Jie continued to chew on the tasteless chicken, and missed the home-cooked food that she was a little tired of eating before. He swallowed the food quickly, not wanting it to stay in his mouth for another second. After a hurried meal, An Jie continued to immerse himself in training......

………………..

Rickard knocked the two out of the team yesterday because the gap between those two players and the others was getting wider and wider, and they couldn't keep up with the pace at all during the training phase with the ball. Now every time he knocks out a person, Ricard will feel distressed for a while, unlike the previous halfway out, the players who have stayed until now have at least worked hard enough, and Ricard appreciates all the players who are willing to sweat. If it weren't for the fact that they weren't up to par, Rickard would have liked to have brought them to the NCAA arena.

When you think of the two hard-working guys he just eliminated yesterday, Rickard is very hot. Because today, there is actually a person who did not come to train for no reason and did not ask for leave. This is not only disrespectful to him, but also to the people he eliminated.

"Alright, let's get back to yesterday's tactics!" Ricard's voice was so loud today that no one dared to talk to him, and the players knew that the coach was right.

Just as everyone was sitting in a circle to start the tactics class, the gymnasium door was hurriedly pushed open. Without looking to know who it was, Morris gasped and rushed in.

"Coach. ”

Riccard ignored it, as if Morris were air, and continued to talk about tactics to himself.

"Coach, I overslept during my nap. You can do whatever you want me to do, please let me keep playing. "Maurice knew he was in trouble, and he had never spoken to anyone so quietly.

"Mr. Morris, please leave my stadium. Ricard didn't look at Maurice as he said this.

Morris didn't leave, he just stood on the edge of the basketball court. Riccard also remained unfazed and continued to explain tactics in the human circle.

Fifteen minutes later, Rickard had finished speaking. At this point, he finally turned to look at Morris.

"Yesterday, I knocked Jack and Anderson out of the team, and the two of them are definitely some of the hardest working guys on this team!" Rickard slammed the tactics board to the ground and strode in front of Morris.

"It's ironic that people who train hard are eliminated and people who don't come to train because they sleep stay, you really don't deserve to play here!" Rickard yelled at Morris's chest. "I simply regret my choice! To be fair to them, please leave my basketball court now and never come back!"

"No, coach, you can do anything, please let me go home. "Morris was in a hurry, he knew that Ricard was a manager who emphasized discipline, but this time he broke discipline and hit the muzzle.

"Okay, you want to go back. Rickard crossed his arms on his hips, thinking of a way to make it difficult for Morris to retreat.

"Three thousand switchback runs and fifteen hundred push-ups, the day after tomorrow we will finish it for me before the end of the training, and I will let you return to the team when I am done, otherwise you will fuck me off!"

The rest of the team shook their heads, it was impossible.

Without saying a word or hesitating, Morris put down his bag and immediately went to the baseline to start his switchback run.

"Old Moore, you can help me count him, not one less. Keep training!"

Ricard would glance at Morris from time to time during training, but he would always see Morris running. This usually unruly young man is obediently completing the task according to the requirements at the moment, regardless of the cost, without complaints.

He was silent and didn't care what was happening on the field, and Morris kept running on his own, even when his vest was completely soaked. If there's one thing in common between Morris and Ricard, it's that Morris is also a strong man, and he hates being looked down upon the most in his life. When he was a star center in high school, he was kicked out of the basketball team for sleeping in college, and he couldn't accept this kind of thing anyway. He also knows the seriousness of the matter, and he really off Rickard, so no matter what the cost, as long as it allows him to continue playing here, he will not hesitate to do it.

The next day, Morris arrived at the basketball court on time. He still didn't train with the rest of the group, and continued to repeat switchback runs and push-ups. Old Moore was careless at first, but now he earnestly counted for him, and even cheered for Morris in his heart. He has been an assistant coach for so many years, and he has never seen someone with such perseverance.

Rickard's request is to make it clear that he wants you to leave, and he persistently tries to accomplish the impossible. What he didn't know was that, in addition to Morris, Anjie's insistence on practicing would also surprise him. The people in this team today are very different from what they used to be.

An Jie also admired this teammate from the bottom of his heart, when he was alone with Morris for the first time, he really couldn't figure out how there could be such an annoying guy in this world. But now, who can not respect him.

Rickard even relented, but he couldn't just stop the punishment. If Morris can't do what he says he wants, he'll still keep his promise to kick Morris out. If he is soft-hearted this time, then all players will violate the rules unscrupulously in the future, and his prestige will no longer exist. If a coach can't even control his own players, it will be even more impossible to show results.

On the third day, Morris was the first to come to the basketball court without saying a word to anyone, and he had been running since the beginning of training and never stopped.

Halfway through the day's training, Rickard walked towards Morris for the first time in three days. He could no longer turn a blind eye to this player, and he admitted that he was impressed by this player's behavior.

"How much has he done? ”

Seeing the coach walking towards Morris, the entire gymnasium stopped what they were doing and looked at the corner where Morris was punished.

"Two thousand switchback runs, eight hundred and fifty-three push-ups. Old Moore replied truthfully according to the record.

Morris paused and waited for the coach's verdict on him. By this time, his vest could already carry a bucket of water, and sweat kept dripping down his chin and onto the floor.

"I'm amazed at what you've accomplished, Maurice, but now it looks like you're not going to be able to finish it anyway until the training is over. Come home, Morris, don't come again. Rickard handed the sheet back to Moore Sr. and turned to get back to training.

"I'll help him run back and forth, Coach!"

Rickard looked at the crowd in surprise, looking for who had said it.

"I can help him run some. Anjie walked to the front of the crowd with his hands raised, he didn't wait for Rickard to agree, and like Morris, he ran straight to the bottom line and started to turn back.

Rickard was surprised, he had no idea that would happen. He looked at An Jie running and didn't know what to say. Not to mention Riccard, even Morris himself couldn't believe that Anjie would stand up for himself.

Watching An Jie stand up for his teammates, it was really unreasonable for others to be unmoved.

"Damn, I'll run some too. Next, Asakin joined the team of switchbacks.

"I ..... I can do a couple of push-ups. "Mike Taylor lay down on the spot.

"I'm going to run too. ”

"I do push-ups"

"I'll make a few for you, remember to invite me to dinner. ”

……………….

For a while, almost all the team members moved. They are rivals competing for a place in the team, but at the same time........

"Coach, you said that we are a team, and we all have to work hard when we work hard. Angel said to Ricard between runs.

At the same time, they are also a team, and this group of young people represents the Iowa State University Whirlwinds.

"Moore, count them!" Rickard said as he left the gymnasium and headed back to his office, not caring if the group could do what he had asked for. He was thrilled and Riccard smiled when the players couldn't see him, and a team willing to sacrifice themselves for their teammates would be full of hope and potential.

Why did Anjie help Morris? It's just because Anjie treats Morris as a friend, and when his friend is in distress, and he can do what he can to do about it, there is no reason not to help. The righteousness of the Chinese made him make this move that shocked the audience.

………………..

With the help of all the players, Morris was able to pass the Ricard level and was able to stay with the team and continue to play. In fact, the elder Moore didn't even count whether they had fulfilled the request, and Riccard didn't ask. This group of young people has already conquered their coaches with practical actions.

The next few days of training were more intense than before, and everyone was already good friends off the field, but everyone on the field showed no mercy. They all knew that there were two people in the team who couldn't go down with everyone. So everybody gave it their all, hoping they weren't one of those two people.

Ricard is also very troubled, this team has become too united since Anjie made that move, no matter which two people are chosen to quit Ricard and the player, it is very reluctant. It's unbearable, but it's a decision that has to be made. The NCAA rules that no team can have more than 15 players, which is something that Rickard has to follow.

Finally, 15 days before the start of the new season in November, Ricard finally finalized the official squad list. Anjie, Morris, Taylor and Asakin are all on the list.

"Congratulations, you've made it through these two months of training. It's an honour to have so many good players playing under me. 'It's the first time in two months that Ricard has spoken so respectfully to a player.

"I've decided to give you a full week off, and it's a reward you deserve. ”

The "yes ~~~~~~~" field suddenly exploded, and a week's vacation was simply a luxury for them. However, An Jie didn't feel too excited, no matter whether Ricard gave them a holiday or not, An Jie's training would not be interrupted.

During this time, Anjie has gained a full seven kilograms, which is already a remarkable achievement, even with a lot of training and strict dietary restrictions. Although this weight is still a lot worse than other interior players, due to the large amount of training, his upper and lower body strength is much better than before. Although An Jie's confrontation ability cannot be said to be advantageous, at least it will not let others take too much advantage.

"This week, you guys go and relax for me, and when you come back, we only have a week to prepare for the new season. Other teams are only allowed to train for six weeks, but we have been training secretly for almost two months! I want you to go out on the pitch and prove that you haven't wasted those two months!"

"Don't worry, Coach, we're the ones who came alive under you. "There was a joke from all the people down there.

"Alright, let's disband. ”

And just like that, the players of the Iowa State University Whirlwinds had their final break before the start of the new season. Of course, all this is an exception for Anjie, and his own training will continue.

With 15 days to go until the first game of the new season starts on November 13, will the Whirlwinds be able to storm the NCAA arena?
