Time flies, and more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye. Li Qiang finally grew to a height of 1.62 meters, and his weight increased by several kilograms.

Li Qiang's cultivation of muscle refining techniques has finally reached the intermediate stage. Unlike the beginner stage, which broadly works a large number of muscle groups, the intermediate stage of training positions is targeted at specific muscles. Li Qiang expects this phase to take at least a few months. And Li Qiang is also looking forward to completing the intermediate level as soon as possible. Because only after passing the intermediate level, can the physical fitness meet the requirements for starting to cultivate the tendon refining technique. And with the cultivation of the tendon refining technique, Li Qiang's physical flexibility and explosiveness will be raised to a higher level. Moreover, the tendon trick is also very helpful for the accuracy of shooting. So Li Qiang is looking forward to it.

In the past month of playing, Li Qiang also found his own problem: physical strength is not good. Although his strength has reached a level similar to that of Huang Jun and can even be surpassed faintly, the quality of other aspects of his body needs to be improved. To really strengthen the body on a large scale, it is necessary to wait until the cultivation of the essence in the novella to improve the physical fitness from the inside out. But this step is still very far away for Li Qiang's cultivation of the Yi Jing Sutra. Therefore, Li Qiang adopted a normal method, jogging for half an hour every day, hoping to slowly cultivate his physical strength first.

Of course, Li Qiang is quite tired after training like this every day. Half an hour of pile work, half an hour of ball skills, half an hour of running, and one hour of muscle training. I was tired half to death every day, but when I thought that I had now become the two major basketball masters in the class who were recognized as standing side by side with Huang Jun, Li Qiang immediately had the courage to continue exercising. And every night, according to the mental method in the Yijin Sutra, Li Qiang can also get enough rest. The next day, I was able to continue exercising vigorously.

Tuesday, the third period in the morning, physical education.

"Ahem," a tall man cleared his throat. With a square face, this man is Li Qiang's physical education teacher Xu Hong.

"I'll make an announcement below, our school's basketball team is starting to recruit."

The boys all focused their attention all at once, and everyone stared at Xu Hong for fear of missing some important information.

"That's right, our school basketball team in Guangming Middle School is divided into two teams: junior high school group and high school group. For the junior high school group, the first semester of each year is the recruitment period. The basketball team will recruit a group of fresh blood from the second year of junior high school to join the old team of the third year of junior high school. After a period of training and integration, the basketball team will go out to play on behalf of the school in the second semester. The second year of junior high school is usually a substitute member. Of course, if you show enough strength, you can also become a starter in the junior high school group. The recruitment test is tentatively scheduled for this Friday. “

After a pause to let the students digest the information just now, Xu Hong continued, "This time, our junior high school group is going to recruit about 8 people. However, the way to do this is an audition, and everyone can sign up. “

Li Qiang looked at several of his golfers, and everyone had an eager expression on their faces.

"Li Qiang! Huang Jun! Zeng Ze! Xu Hong began to roll call, "I think the three of you have a great hope of entering the school team!" Other students may wish to give it a try. Our rules and procedures will be announced on the day of recruitment. Now everyone is disbanded and free to move! ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone began to chatter. Several of Li Qiang's golfers, including Huang Jun, Zeng Ze, Chen Yifan, and Wang Yuanhao, are ready to sign up for the school team.

Friday was fast approaching. There are more than 100 boys in eight classes of the entire grade, and nearly half of them will gather on the basketball court today. (The girls' test was yesterday) Only eight of these people can be selected, an average of one per class, and Li Qiang is also a little uncertain in his heart.

"Now that everyone has arrived, let's get started. Run five laps around the playground. Elimination that can't be done. The coach gave a cold order.

"What?"

"Five laps? Make no mistake, right? “

The playground of Guangming Middle School is the kind of standard field that is 400 meters in a circle. For most junior high school students, a 2,000-meter run can cost them half their lives. In the face of the students' disturbing questions, the cool-looking coach did not respond.

"It's 4:50 p.m., so let's have more time, and by 5:02, those who haven't finished will be eliminated. By the way, twenty seconds have passed now. The coach suddenly added, and there was a faint disdain in his voice.

"Okay, let's start running...

"Run! It's too late! ”

"Forget it. We're not the material... ”

The students quickly divided into two groups, and the larger group left. Another group of students rushed to the runway.

By the time the students who stayed to run reached the second lap, the playground was empty except for them.

"Alright, just run two laps." The coach stood on the track and suddenly stopped the students from running.

"The 12-minute run of 2,000 meters I gave me just now is not a high requirement for the school team. I believe that many of the students who stayed behind can do it. But if you don't even have this courage in the face of difficulties, and you don't even want to endure this bit of hardship, then it won't be used for our school team. ”

Suddenly, the cool guy changed his words, "By the way, my name is Liu Chaoyi, and I am currently the coach of our school's junior high school and high school basketball teams. It's a pleasure to meet you! ”

Li Qiang looked at the classmates around him and found that there were more than a dozen. In other words, half of them have to be eliminated. On his two shifts, only himself, Zeng Ze, and Huang Jun are left.

"Now announce the next test. Now there are about 16 of you, exactly four groups, taking turns to play. I'll take a look at your performance. Fifteen balls, two three-pointers. “

At the end of the three hours, everyone was exhausted. But since everyone has come this far, they have persevered... Under the hazy starlight of the winter night in East China, everyone left the school with their school bags on their backs.

On Monday, Li Qiang and Huang Jun received a notice that they had entered the school team as they wished, while Zeng Ze, who did not perform well on Friday, missed out on the school team. In the next few weeks, Li Qiang spent the cultivation of muscle refining techniques and the training of the school team...
