Chapter 33 Start with the basics
Not long after Luo Kai and Chu Yifan came, the players from the second and third years of high school also came.
In the end, the head coach of the school team, Li Ziqiang, appeared in front of everyone.
He wears a neat tracksuit, professional football boots, a whistle around his neck, and a hard board under his arm.
The first impression is that this is a very professional and capable football coach.
Coupled with his unsmiling face, the sound of chatting with each other on the court gradually disappeared, and everyone looked at him with awe.
After Li Ziqiang looked around at everyone in silence, he looked down at the hardboard in his hand: "Now let's start the roll call." β
Starting with the sophomores and juniors, every player who is named will answer loudly: "Here!" β
When the new players were called, the new players shouted louder than the old players.
On the football field, one after another "arrived! β
After Luo Kai responded, there was a huge cheer on the sidelines.
This cheer was louder than when Chu Yifan arrived.
Li Qingqing turned a deaf ear to this voice, and her eyes were always on Hu Lai.
Finally, her father pronounced Hulai's name.
"Toβahem, ahem!!"
Hulai raised his chest and raised his head and replied loudly, but because he roared too loudly, he broke the sound directly, and finally coughed irrepressibly.
It made everyone in the room, both on the court and from the sidelines, and the laughter spread across the football field, even attracting curious and puzzled glances on the basketball court, who didn't understand what was going on on the football field, causing so many people to laugh at the same time.
β»β»β»
There are not many people who don't laugh at Hu Lai, Li Ziqiang is one of them, he glanced at Hu Lai, and he didn't know if this kid was deliberately pretending to be weird.
After the laughter faded away, he kept a straight face and looked at the new high school freshmen who had joined the team.
His expression also affected the players, whose smiles disappeared and they looked at their manager a little bewildered.
"Congratulations on joining the team, and as the head coach of the varsity team, I welcome you on behalf of the whole team." After everyone had quieted down and looked at him, Li Ziqiang spoke. He said congratulations, but there was no joy on his face.
"But don't be too happy, just because you're in the team doesn't mean you have peace of mind."
Sure enough, what Li Ziqiang said next was very much in line with his expression.
"If you're not happy with your performance in training, I'll have to leave. So don't think that coming in is a victory, being on the varsity team is just the beginning. β
As he said this, his eyes remained fixed on Hulai, who was in the crowd.
But the object he was looking at didn't seem to have a sense of crisis, and he still had the smile on his face, as if he was happy to finally be able to join the school team.
After snorting in his heart, Li Ziqiang looked away, looked at the others and continued: "...... Because of the change of coach and the recruitment of new players, our preparation time has been greatly shortened, and the provincial qualifiers for the national competition are about to begin. So the next training intensity will be very high, if someone can't stand it, they can take the initiative to quit the team, rest assured, I will not set any threshold for quitting. β
The new players who said this looked at each other.
They were really happy to be on the varsity team, but they didn't expect to face such a situation when they got on the varsity team.
Intense training? Will you be driven away if you don't perform well? If you want to quit the team, there will be no one to stop you?
How do you feel that the coach doesn't welcome us?
Everyone was stunned and didn't notice it, and at the end, their coach glanced at where Hulai was.
This time, Li Ziqiang saw that Hu Lai's face finally had no smile on his face, and was replaced by a frowning brow.
It made him feel a little better - this kid finally knew to be afraid!
β»β»β»
Hulai actually didn't react to things like "the training is very intense", "you may be kicked out", and "you are welcome to leave the team on your own initiative".
He was not afraid of high training intensity, and before he came to report to the team, he found an opportunity to go to the toilet and drink the [Smart Potion]. In the next 30 days, the intensity of training will be greater, which means that the effect of his training will be greater.
As for such a thing as voluntarily quitting the team, he is not stupid, how can he do it?
Besides, a new coach is here, so he has to say something about Liwei, right? These words sound scary, and if you don't know it, you can use it to scary......
At this moment, the emotionless voice suddenly sounded in his mind:
"Mission: Successfully stay on the varsity team for the next thirty days. Reward: Γ 3000 points. β
This task......
Hu Lai couldn't help but frown when he saw this task.
He wasn't surprised that a mission appeared at this time. The system will use some real-life events to launch tasks logically, and it is not the first time Hulai has seen it.
But the reward for this task......
It's too perfunctory!
What the hell is 3,000 points?!
There are also physical rewards for the previous missions, either booster potions or wearable equipment.
This task alone is 3,000 points.
In the previous mission, he was required to complete a hat trick in the team test match, and the reward for that task was only one of the 3,000 points, in addition to a bottle of [Pulp Cleansing Elixir] and a bottle of [Smart Potion].
It's too easy to spoil the quest in advance, so even the quest reward isn't high?
Originally, I heard that there was a mission, and I thought I was looking forward to it, but now it seems that the biggest reward for this task is probably not 3,000 points, but the matter of staying in the school team itself.
He pouted inwardly, well, even if I didn't have this mission, I would have to stay here. Quest rewards are a windfall......
Save more and don't have to be too heartbroken when you draw the lottery in the future, and draw out the "thank you for participating".

Li Qingqing stood in the stands, she couldn't hear what her father was saying to the players in the distance, and she was still worried about the fate of Hulai after joining the varsity team.
She knows that her dad is a very demanding coach, and that shows in herself and the players he's had.
Li Qingqing really doesn't know if Hu Lai can meet his father's strict requirements.
In her trance, she suddenly heard Song Jiajia next to her say in surprise: "Eh, why don't they let Hu Lai train with them?" β
Only then did Li Qingqing come back to his senses and found that there had been new changes in the court below.
The entire varsity team had already warmed up under her father's leadership, and now it seemed that specific training tasks were being assigned.
Some people have already started training in groups.
Hulai was not in that group, he stood alone at the edge of the field.
β»β»β»
When Mao Xiao went to train with his teammates, he couldn't help but glance in the direction of Hu Lai several times.
He wondered why Hulai didn't have one of the training tasks that had been assigned to them.
As if he had forgotten that there was another person, the coach blew the whistle vigorously after assigning the training task: "It's time to train!" Don't be lazy! Your headmaster didn't invite me to play games with you! β
With that, he was about to head to the training area.
Hu Lai was a little confused before, and he didn't understand what was going on. Why do other people have training tasks, but they don't.
Now that he saw that the head coach simply walked away, he came back to his senses - coach, did you forget me?
So he raised his hand and shouted, "Coach! β
After Li Ziqiang heard Hu Lai's shout, he stopped, then looked back at the other party and said nothing.
Hulai pointed to himself: "No...... Coach, what about me? What about my training? β
Li Ziqiang turned around, walked up to Hu Lai step by step, and looked at him condescendingly: "What's your name?" β
"Hulai, high ......"
"Oh, Hulai, huh?" Li Ziqiang nodded without letting Hu Lai finish his words, his hands behind his back, and flicked the whistle tied to his wrists. "You're the guy who scored three goals by luck in the Test match?"
Hulai straightened his chest and said very seriously: "Coach, I am not lucky......
"If your game wasn't that bad, maybe I'd take your word for it." Li Ziqiang interrupted Hulai again, and he pointed to the players who had already started training. "You're not training like theirs."
"Different?"
"You have to start with the basics."
"Huh? Basic training? Coach, I can actually have basic skills, I want to train with everyone......" Hulai was a little anxious, because he knew that it was not long before the qualifiers started, if he practiced from the basics now, then when would he be able to play?
"Can you have basic skills? Come on, take my pass first. Li Ziqiang looked up and down, pulled a football with his foot by the way, and then waved Hu Lai back ten meters, and after Hu Lai stood still, he kicked the football very hard.
Almost reflexively, Hulay lifted his leg to stop the ball, and the ball hit the inside of his slightly upturned foot, and instead of stopping, it was bounced upwards and then hit Hulai firmly on the chin......
Bang, Hu Lai was like someone had hit him with an uppercut, and his whole head was thrown back, but fortunately he stabilized and didn't fall to the ground like this, but he also looked very embarrassed.
A burst of laughter erupted on the football field, and everyone was amused, whether it was the onlookers on the sidelines or the players training on the field.
β»β»β»
Song Jiajia heard Li Zhiqun's gloating laughter in the distance, and came vaguely: "Ha...... Ha...... Don't rejoice too soon...... It's ...... Shame on yourself...... Hahaha! β
He lowered the hand covering his face and turned his head to glare. But Li Zhiqun didn't notice it at all, he was holding his stomach with one hand and pointing at Hu Lai in the field with the other, laughing so hard that he almost couldn't stand steadily.
Even in a laughing crowd, he was exaggerating a little.
Li Qingqing didn't smile, she stared at her father's figure, pursed her lips, and frowned.
β»β»β»
"I can tell you directly, if you don't obey my orders, you will quit the team. But I'm afraid you think I'm unreasonable. Li Ziqiang looked coldly at the thin figure who was covering his chin and mouth with his hands ten meters away, and said in a calm tone, "So I remind you in this way that this is the ball you are going to catch in the game." Do you still think your basic skills are good? β
He received no answer, for Hulay was speechless in painβthe moment he had bitten the tip of his tongue, and tears of pain flowed from him.
"Train honestly, when you can train together, I have the final say. Of course, if you don't want to practice, you can also leave. β
After throwing down this sentence, Li Ziqiang turned around and walked towards the team, and then waved his hand to the crowd: "Yan Yan, you come and take him to practice basic skills!" Start with the basics! β
Yan Yan ran over, and then looked at Hu Lai, who was still covering his mouth and unable to speak.
To be honest, he couldn't understand why the coach would give this guy a spot on the varsity team. Say he's gifted? Maybe there is, but looking at this basic skill, this ability is too far behind, right?
Well, now that he's been recruited, it may have been shit luck for this kid to score the team.
But he just entered the school team, and he made a fool of himself in front of so many people and became the laughing stock of everyone, did he regret that he entered the school team?
After sighing in his heart, Yan Yan said to the person in front of him, "Let's start with the ball, don't rub it off." β
