Chapter 34 Liu Han's boxing training
In the early morning of May in Los Angeles, Liu Han wakes up early every morning as always, and he likes to run every morning against the pleasant sea breeze blowing from the eastern Pacific Ocean.
The NCAA tournament in the 94-95 season has all ended, Liu Han is not very suitable for the days of no training every day, but in the face of academic pressure, he had to study all day in April, fortunately, with the help of Safina and Shi Lei, Liu Han did not pull down too many classes, I have to say that every Asian has the potential to become a top student, Liu Han was a little unable to keep up with the study of primary school when he was young because his brain development was slower than others, And now Liu Han's intelligence level is basically able to ensure that he understands and understands some things, but he is still a little dull in speaking and doing things, which is probably due to his nature.
After entering May, Liu Han's academic tasks for this semester have basically ended, and the summer vacation of American universities lasts for about three months every year, which gives young people who live without worries and are enthusiastic and open to go out and play. Liu Han didn't have the idea of going out to play, what he wanted to do most now was to soak in the training hall every day, but fortunately, the school's gym has not been closed, and Liu Han can train with Thomson. After a tough and successful season, most of the graduating seniors are running for the NBA Draft, while the rest of the players are looking to take advantage of the long vacation that is about to start to unwind their nerves.
Liu Han is an exception, he grew up in the discrimination and ridicule of others since he was a child, and it was not until he came into contact with basketball that he felt that he could have something to amaze others, so what he wanted now was to be able to play basketball well. In the games that have ended, Liu Han found that his breakthrough and offensive ability with the ball are still poor, and he wants to make a greater contribution to the team next season. The reason why Thomson has been training with Liu Han is very simple, he wants to learn Liu Han's shooting, he originally had a good mid-range shot, but now Thomson wants to expand his attack range, in the new season in the future, some of the main players in the team are about to graduate and leave school, Thomson will definitely enter the starting lineup, he feels that if his range can reach the three-point line and have a good shooting rate, he will also have a breakthrough in the NBA draft in the future.
After a day of training, Liu Han returned to LaBeouf's home, he was not very satisfied with the results of his training today, although Thomson has been training with him, and now Liu Han can use technology to shake Thomson away easily, but Liu Han feels that there is always something wrong, he feels that there is still a big gap between him and the top NBA players in the video dribbling and breaking.
"How's it going today? Boy, did you spend another day in the gym? I don't think you're a young man, but you're really Asian, and the difference is that your compatriots are in the lab and in the kitchen, and you're in the stadium. LaBeouf likes to talk to Liu Han every day before dinner.
"It's not good, LaBeouf, I feel like I'm far from the people on video, and I can't feel it during training." After more than half a year of living with LaBeouf's family, Liu Han has gradually adapted to this more casual way of chatting.
"Haha, boy, you're so naïve, none of those guys on the video have been training for more than ten years to have that level, how long have you been playing basketball? But I don't think you can give you some advice if you can't feel it right now, you should try to go out for a walk, or go to the open-air court next to the beach, there are a lot of great guys out there. And I think you should try it out with me on my turf, boxing has something in common with basketball in some ways. For example, the foot movement in boxing has something in common with the foot movement in basketball, do you think that when I play with me every night, I move fast and defend well? And boxing can also help you strengthen your confrontation and control in a tense atmosphere, which is good for you. LaBeouf has been trying to take Liu Han to practice boxing, he talked to Li Rui, knowing some things about Liu Han's past, LaBeouf felt that a talent like Liu Han would learn boxing quickly.
Liu Han observed sincerity and concern in LaBeouf's words and eyes.
"Alright then, LaBeouf, I think you have a point, maybe I'll try it with you tomorrow." Liu Han followed LaBeouf's advice, and although he still didn't know anything about boxing, he knew that LaBeouf was a person who genuinely cared about him and didn't let down those who cared about him, which was Liu Han's consistent purpose.
"It's decided, boy, I'll take you to my training gym tomorrow, there are a lot of macho men there, you will definitely be satisfied, haha." LaBeauf felt very happy to hear that Liu Han had promised him.
Early the next morning, Liu Han was driven by LaBeouf to the club where LaBeouf worked, a large boxing club where LaBeouf was the head boxing coach.
"Hey, LaBeouf, is this your Oriental son-in-law? He looks so young, and your daughter has a good eye. Ha ha. As soon as he entered the door, LaBeouf was teased by a group of muscular sticks in the training hall.
"Go away, you shit, this is my new apprentice, when he finishes boxing, I'll let him beat your ass one by one." As soon as LaBeouf arrived on his turf, he showed his usual style.
"Haha, this apprentice of yours looks a little thinner, except for his good height, the others look like a little white face, maybe he's your Eastern bastard, LaBeouf. You have to be careful of your Jewish wife, she will take the last penny of your body because of this. "A group of violent maniacs who spend their days between being beaten and beating people every day do not show weakness at all in their words.
"Hello, gentlemen, my name is Liu Han, I am nineteen years old, and I now live in LaBeouf's house." Liu Han's words made LaBeouf "illegitimate child" the title of "illegitimate child" have been with him in the boxing training gym.
"Alright, boy, don't bother with those boring guys, they're just going to teach you a lot of dirty words, and now I'm going to start telling you some of the basics of boxing."
"I won't teach you the offensive and defensive movements of the boxers, let's learn the foot movement of boxing first, which will also help you strengthen the foot movement when playing basketball." LaBeouf plans to have Liu Han start with the ones that help him strengthen his favorite sport right now, and then he will teach him other techniques when he starts to enjoy boxing.
Liu Han began to understand the sport of boxing under LaBeouf's explanation.
Boxing, one of the first survival skills of human beings, was used by humans to strengthen their bodies and survive in harsh environments before the advent of bows and arrows. The sport of boxing has developed to the modern age and has given rise to very professional methods of foot movement training.
Liu Han learned about several types of footsteps in boxing through LaBeouf's explanation, namely sliding steps, sprint steps, side steps and wrapping steps, and he began to do several basic foot training after LaBeouf's professional demonstration.
LaBeouf already knew something about Liu Han's talent, but he was still amazed by Liu Han's astonishing speed in learning the essentials of boxing's footwork.
At first, a group of idle and bored boxing enthusiasts were still laughing at Liu Han's learning from time to time, but when Liu Han basically learned the footsteps of boxing in less than two hours, these people were stunned. They now watched Liu Han's footsteps move, and they felt that Liu Han looked like a beginner who had been trained for at least a year.
"SHIT, LaBeouf, where did you get such a genius, he can't really be your illegitimate son, right? It's too fast. Quentland Charlton, an amateur black fighter who had been training with LaBeouf in boxing, was amazed at Liu's talent.
"Ah Kun (short for Quintland Charlton), this kid was found by my son-in-law from China, it took a lot of effort to bring him to the United States to play basketball, he just won the NCAA championship with UCLA last month, I lied to him for a long time to bring him to learn boxing, do you know how long he learned basketball? In less than a year, I think after a few years of training, maybe we can produce a lightweight champion in our gym. ”
"****, does your son-in-law have brain cramps? What kind of basketball does such a good talent play, and it is also college basketball, you should go directly to the NBA to make a lot of money, or you will directly enter the professional boxing world, and you will definitely be a boxing champion in less than two years. Quintran Charlton was puzzled by LaBeouf's choice of son-in-law.
"This kid is now bent on playing basketball, and I also told him that boxing helps basketball move his feet to get him here." Liu Han is concentrating on this foot movement training, and he feels that this kind of training will indeed help him further improve his breakthrough ability and defensive ability in basketball.
Liu Han, who has gradually mastered the essentials of boxing foot movement, began the next step of training with the assistance of LaBeouf, who took a thick cushion to hit Liu Han's body when Liu Han moved, and Liu Han needed to dodge LaBeouf's impact as much as possible through the movement of his feet.
At the beginning, Liu Han was often disturbed by the impact of LaBeouf, but gradually, Liu Han slowly adapted to such impacts, and the movement of his feet has been moving according to the footsteps of boxing.
After Liu Han began to adapt to this kind of movement, LaBeouf tied an elastic cord to Liu Han's ankle, which could further strengthen the pressure bearing ability of Liu Han's ankle and make Liu Han's foot movement more stable.
After receiving a morning of boxing training, Liu Han began to gradually like this kind of training, and a group of ridiculous and non-discriminatory eyes around Liu Han made Liu Han feel that LaBeouf had a good group of people, and Liu Han's outstanding talent also amazed these boxing enthusiasts, and they wanted to see the success of a talented young man.
Liu Han started training in the boxing gym in the morning and the basketball gym in the afternoon, and his breakthrough ability and defensive intensity began to further improve.
